Jiang Qi Tai didn't know how to react at first, but once he did react, he immediately turned in the direction of the Jiang Family with a look of disbelief.
Jiang Qi Tai muttered, "What's happening? How could this be happening?"
He shook his head in disbelief, clearly still not being able to wrap his head around this.
Everything had been planned out perfectly, he had locked up the ancestor of the Jiang Family and had been slowly killing him with an array. He had sped up the array so the Jiang Family ancestor would die today, to give him the burst of power that he needed, but that shouldn't have changed anything.
So why did that burst of power that he received suddenly stop!
It was too bad that the piece of the Beast King's soul that had possessed Jiang Qi Tai only contained its ambition, making it want to become the new main part of the Beast King's soul, taking over the rest of the other parts.
Since it was only the ambition part, it didn't have the same intelligence that the Beast King would have had. Other than having some knowledge that belonged to the Beast King, it didn't have much else.
It was only a small portion of the Beast King's soul, so to compare it, it was the equivalent to the soul of a child. That was why it had been so immature and while its plans seemed meticulous, they seemed a little messy.
Jiang Qi Tai had completely lost his calm at this moment, wildly looking around trying to find a way to escape.
But how could Lin Fan give it a chance?
Lin Fan knew what the sudden burst of energy meant and for it to suddenly stop like this, it could only mean a single thing. The Jiang Family ancestor had broken free of whatever plan Jiang Qi Tai had set up for him and was now coming this way.
Lin Fan was unclear what would happen since he didn't know the relationship the Jiang Family ancestor had with the Jiang Family, but he didn't want to even try to take that chance. After all, everything he had done had been harmful to the Jiang Family, so he could be considered an enemy to the Jiang Family.
Lin Fan immediately charged forward and his sword was suddenly covered in three different glows.
Jiang Qi Tai saw this and he began to panic, but he also swept out his dagger, creating a giant red wave of energy that flew up to create a wall.
He had already gained the power of the Fragmented Soul Realm already with the first burst of energy that had come from the Jiang Family. Working along with the Embryo Soul Realm dagger, it was more than enough to hold back Lin Fan temporarily even with his increase in power.
Jiang Qi Tai didn't hesitate at all as he turned to run away.
Jiang Mu and the second elder were in his way since they knew that they couldn't let Jiang Qi Tai go for what he did, but naturally they weren't a match for him. It only took a single sweep of his dagger to push both of them out of his way.
Still, that delay was all that was necessary for a certain someone to arrive.
Through the broken skylight, there was a figure that slowly floated down above everyone, putting pressure on everyone present.
Jiang Qi Tai felt this pressure and tried to run out the back, but unfortunately there was a stone wall that suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his way.
Jiang Qi Tai turned to look at the figure in the sky and without any hesitation again, he said with a smile, "Grandfather, you're finally here!" He immediately pointed at Lin Fan before shouting, "This is the person who has attacked our Jiang Family, please save me!"
The Jiang Family ancestor Jiang Wan Li looked down at Jiang Qi Tai and gave a snort.
When he had broken through the killing array that had been arranged around the residence that he had gone into for closed door cultivation, he had felt the trace of Jiang Qi Tai's aura stuck to the array.
Unless his head had been kicked in, he knew that Jiang Qi Tai was involved in this.
Jiang Wan Li didn't pay any attention to Jiang Qi Tai's words as he flew down, charging at him with his palm covered in his law energy raised, preparing to slam it down on him.
Jiang Wan Li was naturally confident, after all, he was one of the five Legendary Realm Experts of the Eastern Continent, one of the few at the peak of this Blue Star Planet. Even if he was slightly injured from the killing array, he was more than confident in taking care of Jiang Qi Tai.
Lin Fan saw this and he didn't fall behind as he raised his sword while charging at Jiang Qi Tai.
Jiang Qi Tai saw both of these threats coming at him and since he couldn't escape, the only thing he could do was raise his dagger and sweep out to create a wave of red energy that flew out to meet Jiang Wan Li and Lin Fan.
Both Lin Fan and Jiang Wan Li met this wave of energy with their sword and fist respectively, but then they were pushed back.
Jiang Wan Li knitted his brows when he was pushed back by this attack since he never expected Jiang Qi Tai to be this strong. It was also at this moment that he noticed Lin Fan, knitting his brows even deeper.
He could tell that Lin Fan was powerful, to the point where he could even be considered a threat to him, but he definitely didn't recognize him.
Jiang Wan Li turned to Jiang Zhi Shu and said, "Zhi Shu, who is he?"
Jiang Zhi Shu was confused when he heard this, but before he could say a thing, Lin Fan spoke first, "That's not important now, we should take care of him first."
Jiang Wan Li narrowed his eyes to look over Lin Fan before giving a nod, "How do you want to do this?"
Lin Fan said, "If you can hold him, I can knock him out and capture him."
Jiang Wan Li paused for a second like he was thinking this over.
Jiang Wan Li couldn't feel any hostility towards him from Lin Fan, but of course he could feel the hostility Lin Fan had towards Jiang Qi Tai. Based on that, he assumed that Lin Fan was Jiang Qi Tai's enemy and as the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Jiang Wan Li gave a nod before saying, "Alright, let's do this."
Then he raised his energy and lifted both his hands up.
The moment his hands came up, there were walls of stone that were lifted up around Jiang Qi Tai, cornering him inside the box completely made of stone.
Jiang Qi Tai immediately fell into a panic and he swept out his dagger to create red waves that slammed into the walls, but they couldn't break through.
As Jiang Qi Tai continued attacking the walls, Lin Fan locked onto a position in space. With a single thought from him, he used his spatial laws to appear right behind Jiang Qi Tai and using the back of his blade, he hit the back of his neck to knock him out.
Jiang Wan Li gave a nod when he saw this and released the stone walls, revealing Lin Fan and the unconscious Jiang Qi Tai. Then he turned to Jiang Zhi Shu and said, "Zhi Shu, tell me the situation."
Jiang Zhi Shu was still confused by Jiang Wan Li's words. After all, he was already no longer a part of the Jiang Family, he had been banished for a long time, so why did the ancestor still treat him as part of the Jiang Family?
Jiang Zhi Shu asked in a confused voice, "Ancestor, why are you asking me this?"
Jiang Wan Li also revealed a confused look when he heard this, but he asked, "Aren't you the current head of the Jiang Family? Isn't this your wedding? What happened to Qi Tai? Also, where's Hei?"
Jiang Zhi Shu couldn't help asking in a surprised voice, "Head of the Jiang Family? No, I was exiled from the Jiang Family a long time ago."
Jiang Wan Li deeply knit his brows when he heard this.
Jiang Wan Li had been in seclusion for a long time and the last time he received any news was when Jiang Zhi Shu was brought to meet him a long time ago. Jiang Wan Li had noticed Jiang Zhi Shu's talent and Jiang Zhi Shu had made a good impression on him, so he always assumed that Jiang Zhi Shu would become the family head one day, taking over for his father.
So when he came out and saw Jiang Zhi Shu, naturally he thought that Jiang Zhi Shu had already taken over or was close to taking over and would be able to explain everything to him.
But before he could continue questioning Jiang Zhi Shu, Jiang Qi Tai woke up.
However, the one that spoke this time wasn't the controlled Jiang Qi Tai, rather it was the original Jiang Qi Tai.
He had a pounding headache and was very dizzy from being hit on the back of the neck, but he did get a good look at Jiang Wan Li and Jiang Zhi Shu.
Once he saw them, he immediately said, "Ancestor, brother, please kill me!"
