Chapter 392: Outsider
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Juelong’s whereabouts was Ye Chen’s biggest obstacle. If Ye Chen could not even find him, how could he kill him?
The old man shook his head.
“There are five top martial arts families in the capital. The Lin family is one of these. Every family has a formation to conceal their territory, so it’s extremely difficult to find them. However, I heard that the Lin family’s territory is located in the west of the second ring of the capital, and Lin Juelong often appears near Haide Park.”
This was undoubtedly useful information to Ye Chen. He did not hesitate and said to Ye Lingtian, “I’ll leave this to you. Send Dark Hall experts to monitor Haide Park 24/7. Once you spot Lin Juelong, update me immediately.”
“Yes, Hall Master!”
Ye Chen clenched his fists tightly, his eyes flashing with cold killing intent.
Lin Juelong, just you wait!
Capital City, Jiang family’s residence.
Jiang Rong and Jiang Jianfeng passed through a formation and came to the entrance.
Jiang Rong looked at the Jiang family’s plaque and felt a myriad of emotions rush through her. Nothing had changed, but she was now no longer a member of the Jiang family, despite having grown up here.
Jiang Jianfeng glanced at Jiang Rong and sighed.
“Sis Rong, let’s go. When we get inside, I’ll speak up for you. The old master’s anger hasn’t subsided after so many years, but you’re his daughter after all. If you admit your mistakes, he’ll probably ease up a little.”
Jiang Rong nodded. She clenched her fists tightly and her eyes were determined.
She had once sworn never to step into this place again, but for her husband and child, she decided to break her oath.
No matter what the outcome was, she would not regret it.
The two of them headed inside.
However, soon, the gatekeepers of the Jiang family blocked their way. They pointed two spears at Jiang Rong and said coldly, “Unauthorized people are not allowed to enter!”
Jiang Jianfeng was a little angry. With a wave of his arm, the two of them were forced back a few steps!
“What do you mean by this? Can’t she and I enter the Jiang family? Who do you think you are?!”
The two gatekeepers narrowed their eyes, but their attitude remained firm.
“Young Master, of course you can enter, but she can’t.”
“Old Master has ordered to keep her outside. If we fail, we’ll be killed. Please don’t make things difficult for us, Young Master.”
Jiang Jianfeng snorted coldly.
“What kind of order is that? Get lost! I’m taking her to see the old master. If you dare to stand in my way again, then let’s see if you’re capable of stopping me!” As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Jianfeng unleashed his killing intent!
The two gatekeepers looked a little frightened, but they still stood their ground.
“Young Master, please don’t make things difficult for us!”
Jiang Jianfeng grabbed Jiang Rong and strode toward the entrance. In an instant, their spears came straight for her!
The old master had given the order that Jiang Rong was not allowed to step into the Jiang family’s residence. If they failed here, they would forfeit their own lives!
Jiang Jianfeng glanced indifferently at the two cold gleams and took a step forward. A wave of power condensed and smashed the spears!
The two gatekeepers fell backward and crashed into the wall.
Jiang Jianfeng did not use too much force. After all, these two were just following orders.
After that, he brought Jiang Rong inside. However, before they could get very far, an old woman in a long robe appeared not far away with her hands behind her back.
When Jiang Jianfeng saw the old woman, his eyes narrowed slightly. He never expected that the old master would actually ask this person to stop them.
The old woman was one of Jiang Jianfeng’s teachers, and she had taught him most of his martial arts techniques.
“Jianfeng, don’t you know the family rules? Bringing an outsider into the family’s residence is a punishable offense!”
The old woman’s voice was extremely cold and harsh, and even carried a trace of true qi.
Jiang Jianfeng retreated a few steps, but it was not a big deal.
However, Jiang Rong was different. Even though her bloodline and talent were heaven-defying, she had only cultivated for one night. It was naturally difficult for her to withstand this.
At this moment, her face was extremely pale.
Jiang Jianfeng sensed the situation and quickly stood in front of Jiang Rong. Only then did Jiang Rong feel better.
“Teacher, she has the blood of the Jiang family flowing in her veins. How can she be considered an outsider? Please let us pass.”
Jiang Jianfeng cupped his hands.
If it was anyone else, he would have killed them. However, he really could not act against the old woman in front of him, as it would be akin to disrespecting his teacher, and went against the teachings of the ancestors.
The old woman did not compromise and continued, “I don’t want to repeat myself again. The old master’s stance is very clear. Jiang Rong has no right to step into this place again. If she insists on doing so, then she can’t blame me for the consequences.”
As soon as she finished speaking, another Jiang family expert appeared and stood behind the old woman, releasing his killing intent.
Jiang Jianfeng wanted to say something, but Jiang Rong spoke up, “Second Brother, I’ll settle my own matters.”
“Sis Rong…”
Jiang Jianfeng’s eyes were filled with hesitation. He glanced at a building in the distance.
He was sure that the old man was there, watching everything. He really could not understand why the old man was so persistent about this matter. Decades had passed!
Were family bonds really so easily broken?
At this moment, Jiang Rong took a step forward, resisting the pressure of the old woman, and said, “Please give me a chance, Senior. I want to see the old man.”
At this moment, a bearded man behind the old woman stood up. He glanced at Jiang Rong and sneered, “Jiang Rong, where did your backbone go? Didn’t you say that you would never return to the Jiang family? Why did you come back shamelessly now?”
Jiang Rong glanced at the man, her pupils shrinking.
She still remembered this man, Jiang Fenghua.
Back then, Jiang Fenghua was considered one of the most talented members of the Jiang family. However, once her bloodline and talent was revealed, she stole his limelight.
After that, this person seemed to have changed into a different person, constantly trying to please and flatter her, following her around all day.
She had thought quite well of this person, but was shocked when he turned on her the moment she was expelled from the Jiang family.
In fact, it was very likely that this man had leaked the news that she and Ye Tianzheng were together!
It was not only that. A few years ago, Jiang Fenghua had even personally gone to River City to insult her family. That condescending and insufferably arrogant look made her feel disgusted!
She did not expect that the two of them would meet again after so many years.
Jiang Fenghua saw that she did not say anything, so he continued, “Jiang Rong, you are now an outsider! If you still want to live, get lost! Your presence here is sullying the sanctity of this place!”
“Your status is even lower than that of a dog!”
He did not mince his words or hold back..
