79: Internal strife

"You... do you think you can oppose the entire Family alone?" The old man asked, feeling utterly helpless.

"Old thing! As an Old Ancestor, you're only at the Ninth Stage of Profound Dao Realm. How strong can that pathetic Family of yours be? Once I join a super power, wiping you out will be as easy as a few swings of my blade."

"What! What is your current Realm?"

"None of your business! Make your choice!"

The old man began to hesitate. He didn't know what trump cards the youth held, given that he dared to speak like that even after learning his Realm.

"Yilong! This is the current Young Family Head, the future successor to the Family Head position. Release him, and everything that happened before will be wiped clean."

Jiang Yilong said, "Then cripple him, just like you wanted to cripple my son back then! Otherwise, he will pose a threat to my great-grandson."

"You... didn't we end up not crippling Shanba back then?"

Jiang Ye shouted, "Are you going to do it or not? I don't want to hear any more of your nonsense."

Sizzle! Space tore open as people from the Upper Profound Domain Jiang Family arrived. There were five of them, all at the Xuan Dao Realm Sixth Stage or higher.

Seeing the newcomers, Jiang Guang rejoiced, "Old Ancestors, Clan Elders! These ants from the branch Family killed everyone who came before!"

Jiang Yilong said with a disdainful tone, "Hmph! This is the future Family Head you've chosen? He's not even fit to carry my great-grandson's shoes!"

"Hmm?" One of the Old Ancestors recognized Jiang Yilong. "You are Jiang Yilong? What on earth happened here?"

Jiang Guang pointed at Jiang Ye and said, "It's him! He's the one who killed all the clansmen and Clan Elders. We absolutely cannot let him go today!"

Jiang Yilong's father let out a sigh and said, "Sigh! It seems my Jiang Family is destined to decline. How did someone like this become the Young Family Head? Someone give me an answer!"

"This..." The others didn't quite dare to speak. The old man who had just recognized Jiang Yilong said, "He seems to be a junior under the Second Brother."

Jiang Yilong's father was one of three brothers. Jiang Guang was a descendant of his second brother. The second brother said, "He is the most outstanding of his generation right now, so we had no choice but to let him take the position."

Jiang Yilong's father looked toward Jiang Ye and said, "I will kill him for you. Will you return to the Upper Profound Domain Jiang Family?"

"What? Old Ancestor, you..." Jiang Guang was shocked; he never expected this turn of events.

"Big Brother? Who is he exactly?" the second brother asked.

Jiang Yilong's father didn't turn his head, keeping his eyes on Jiang Ye as he said, "A junior who can contend with me."

"How is that possible! He looks like he's not even twenty years old."

Jiang Ye said, "Then let me reiterate: this Jiang Family was created solely by my Great-Grandfather and has absolutely nothing to do with your Jiang Family. As for him, he must die today! Even if you all strike together, I will slaughter him today!"

Boom!! As soon as Jiang Ye finished speaking, a powerful force erupted. Golden flames ignited across his body again as he raised the flaming longblade toward the upper right with both hands.

Everyone from the Jiang Family was startled. Individually, none of them could possibly block this power.

Jiang Yilong's father, feeling helpless, raised his hand and struck. Bang! Jiang Guang instantly exploded into fragments, scattering across the ground.

"Are you satisfied now?"

Jiang Ye said, "From now on, we shall not interfere with each other. If your people come looking for trouble again, don't blame me for involving the innocent!" Whoosh! He retracted all the flames.

Sizzle! Space was torn open once more. The current Family Head, Jiang Fu—Jiang Guang's father—stepped out followed by many clansmen.

"Old Ancestors, Clan Elders, Jiang Guang brought people to this branch Family to take the xuanling seal. Now all of their life tablets have shattered. What happened?"
