Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jiang Feng swung his hand blade, slicing off Wang Shanâs head!
The head arced through the air, rolled to the ground with a thud, and even in death, Wang Shanâs face was frozen in disbelief!
The entire scene fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Just seconds later, "Thud!!!" Lin Lianhai fell to his knees in front of Jiang Feng!
The Lian Familyâs servants, who had been flaunting their power, also knelt before Jiang Feng, as if their souls had escaped their bodies.
"Jiang... Jiang Feng, spare me once more! I promise this is the last time. In the future, I will completely obey you, return to the Lian Family, and never come out again..." Lin Lianhai pleaded desperately, trembling with fear.
"Do you think you still have a chance?" Jiang Fengâs lips curled into a faint sneer.
He realized he had been too merciful recently, having let two people go. He wasnât sure how Xiang Tiandong had fared, but Lin Lianhai was a typical example of someone ungrateful for kindness.
"No! Jiang Feng, you canât kill me. Iâm the only remaining descendant of the Lian Family. This time, I was coerced by those two to come again to Jiangdong. This wasnât my intention. I beg you to show mercy..."
Lin Lianhai crawled forward like a dog, clinging tightly to Jiang Fengâs leg, pleading in agony.
Jiang Feng, however, looked at him with disgust, impatiently kicking him away. Lin Lianhai screamed miserably on the spot, spewing a mouthful of large blood clots and shockingly horrific fragments of his organs.
Even Wang Shan couldnât withstand a kick from Jiang Feng, let alone an ordinary man with no fighting strength.
Lin Lianhai rolled over ten meters on the ground, struggling a bit, but couldnât get up. In an instant, he kicked his legs and died, eyes open in death!
Hissâ!!
Seeing this, the Lian Familyâs servants were even more terrified, frantically kneeling and crying, kowtowing to Jiang Feng in desperation.
Jiang Feng looked at these people, frowned, and said to Baili Xi and Bai Touying behind him, "Theyâre all yours. Donât let a single one escape back to the Capital City."
Boom!
This statement was tantamount to pronouncing a death sentence on all of them!
Jiang Feng disdained getting his hands dirty, but leaving these lackeys at the Baili Family would ensure their end would be equally tragic!
"Young Master Feng, understood!"
Bai Touying nodded, then signaled to the bodyguards, who understood immediately and stepped forward to drag away the kneeling servants begging for mercy.
"Li Qiang, you donât go. Youâre in charge of driving and taking Young Master Feng back to Binhai. Do whatever he asks along the way!" Bai Touying suddenly stopped one of the leading bodyguards.
"Yes, Uncle Bai!"
Li Qiang immediately nodded and walked quickly toward Jiang Feng with utmost respect and unease: "Young Master Feng, please!"
Yes, unease!
Jiang Fengâs actions commanded both awe and fear!
Jiang Feng remained expressionless and strode down the mountain.
...
At the same time Jiang Feng was being sent back to Binhai by the Baili Family.
In the Capital City, the Xiang Family arranged for a towing team to urgently retrieve eight off-road vehicles.
Of course, the eight vehicles were loaded with the corpses of twenty experts, led by Ding Feng!
At this moment, the entrance of the Xiang Familyâs old residence was crowded with people!
Led by Xiang Yunshan, the current Family Head, all the family elders, including the second-generation offspring like Xiang Lun, were present.
Previously, when Xiang Lunâs family sought the Old Masterâs opinion on dealing with Jiang Feng, most of the family wasnât aware.
Xiang Yunshan had also fully delegated the task to Xiang Tiandong and even sent his trusted Ding Feng and others with him.
Who knew Xiang Lun would suddenly report a disaster to him, with Ding Feng and others completely wiped out!!
With that, even Xiang Yunshan erupted in anger!
He was not only intensely furious but also filled with disbelief!
He knew Ding Feng and the othersâ capabilities well; how could all twenty of them perish in action?!
Who exactly was this Jiang Feng in Binhai?!
And because this incident had shaken the familyâs foundation, it couldnât be hidden. Thus, all the Xiang Family elders and core second-generation members received the news.
This included several brothers competing with Xiang Lun for the heir position, who now looked at Xiang Lun with expressions full of mockery and schadenfreude.
"Xiang Lun, when is your good son coming back?"
Xiang Yunshanâs face was livid as he coldly asked Xiang Lun.
Xiang Lunâs heart skipped a beat, realizing the Old Manâs words carried many implications.
Firstly, the Old Man had distanced himself from the matter, as if the debacle was due to his sonâs incompetence, implicating Ding Feng and others.
Secondly, Xiang Yunshan no longer favored him as before and even bore some coldness in tone!
The Martial Arts Family is like this; family ties are weak. For Xiang Yunshan, choosing a successor means selecting someone capable of expanding the familyâs influence. Xiang Lun and his sonâs actions led to significant family losses, and he wouldnât take the blame but would instead put it on father and son!
"I just called Tiandong; he said heâll be back soon..." Xiang Lun said, sweating coldly.
"Hmph! Brother, youâre really something. Such a big matter, you came secretly to consult our father? Before the audience day, you tempted our father to lend you Ding Feng and those twenty people. You think youâre so good, aiming for great achievements! But who knew your son would mess up on his first real mission for the family, even causing the family to lose twenty lives for nothing!"
Xiang Yunshanâs second son, Xiang Lunâs blood brother, Xiang Cen, sneered.
In such noble families, intrigue is inevitable, and the Xiang Family is no different, with intense internal competition as each son tries to stand out for a chance to ascend.
Previously, Xiang Yunshan only favored Xiang Lun, so Xiang Cen didnât dare speak much, but now he seized the chance to kick him while heâs down!
"Second brother, donât gloat. Although Tiandong wasnât successful this time, he was working for the entire Xiang Family, not just us!"
Xiang Lun said coldly, "In comparison, your son is spoiled beyond recognition, indulging in pleasure every day and perhaps doing worse than Tiandong!"
"Brother, is that an insult?"
Xiang Cen was furious: "Iâm just stating facts. If you canât defend yourself, you resort to personal attacks?! Your sonâs failure brought shame to the family, and youâre upset being called out? Own your mistakes, stand firm, no need to put on a facade."
"Second brother, you!!!"
Xiang Lun fumed, face flushed, just about to erupt when Xiang Yunshan suddenly barked: "Silence!!"
The air instantly fell silent, and Xiang Lun could only swallow his anger.
Xiang Cen glanced at him with disdain, a smirk across his face.
Just then, someone suddenly pointed forward and shouted, "Look! Young Master Tiandongâs convoy is back!!"
