Chapter 3748: The Tiger Roar Clan

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Clan leader Jing felt like he had been completely seen through, without any secrets to hide from Jian Chen.

When that feeling overcame him, clan leader Jing’s heart immediately began to churn. He struggled to imagine just how high someone’s cultivation needed to be to see through him entirely.

Afterall, he was a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal.

“My disciple, the death of your parents is indeed connected to this grandpa clan leader of yours.” Jian Chen thought about it and decided to tell Jing Mumu the truth. He wanted her to better understand the vileness of the world.

When she heard that, Jing Mumu completely blanked out. She was overwhelmed.

The ancestor of the Jing family, Jing Tianhao, was also shocked. As an Immortal Monarch, he understood extremely well that Immortal Monarchs could never see through all of a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal’s secrets through divination alone. The person before his eyes was an Immortal Emperor at the very least.

As soon as he thought of how Jing Mumu’s master was an Immortal Emperor, Jing Tianhao was filled with excitement. If he could establish a connection with such an expert, their Jing family would basically be able to stand on equal footing with the Tiger Roar clan in Falling Cloud City.

“I have to keep Jing Mumu and Jing Feng in the clan no matter what.” The ancestor quickly made up his mind. Shortly afterwards, his gaze towards Jing De became filled with anger. He bellowed, “Jing De, how dare you lay your hands on your own clansmen. If this senior had not seen through your actions, probably even I would have been left in the dark.”

Clan leader Jing’s face immediately paled, but he refused to admit it. He argued back. “Ancestor, this never happened. If there’s no evidence, you can’t just slander me like this.”

“Evidence? You still want to talk about evidence with me?” Jing Tianhao’s face darkened. He clasped his fist towards Jian Chen and said, “This senior’s words are the sturdiest evidence you can ever find. Do you really think this senior would go as far as to slander a measly Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal given his status?”

“Jing De, I formally dismiss you from the position of clan leader. From today onwards, Jing Feng is the clan leader. His will is mine.”

Jing De swayed violently, almost falling to the ground.

“Jing De, the two of us feuded in the past, but that’s only a matter between the two of us. Why did you harm my son? Or should I say that my son provoked you in some way, which made you vicious enough to doom him for good?” Jing Feng said painfully.

Jing De smiled, except his smile seemed rather miserable.

Jing Mumu had become the disciple of an expert, and Jing Feng ended up sharing her glory. Even the ancestor of the Jing family who had silently supported him in the past had switched sides. Without any backing, there was no escaping what was lying in wait today.

Even if he were innocent, unconnected to the deaths of Jing Mumu’s parents, the ancestor of the Jing family would sacrifice him without any hesitation to satisfy an expert like Jing Mumu’s master.

Let alone a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal, the ancestor of the Jing family would even abandon ten Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals without any hesitation.

“With everything that’s transpired so far, there’s no point in hiding anymore. Jing Feng, you can only blame yourself. You can only blame yourself for constantly opposing me in the clan. Your existence would threaten my status sooner or later. Since the people of your branch can’t bring me any peace, then I had to destroy your branch completely.” Jing De laughed aloud. There was a hint of madness and viciousness in his eyes.

Jing Feng’s face sank. “You trying to marry Mumu off to the Tiger Roar clan was probably not just out of the interests of the clan, right? You probably put forward the condition for the people of the Tiger Roar clan to kill me as well, right?”

“That’s right, the Tiger Roar clan did indeed agree to that. If you were still alive once Mumu had gone to them, then they would send an Immortal Monarch great elder to personally kill you.” Jing De was unwilling to accept this. He ground his teeth. “But unfortunately, your luck was just a little better than mine. You found a powerful backer.”

“Grandpa clan leader, I don’t believe you. I don’t believe you’re that kind of person. Tell me this isn’t real…” Jing Mumu sobbed sorrowfully, afraid to accept that the kind and friendly grandpa clan leader was actually responsible for the deaths of her parents.

“Mumu, I had no other choice either. If you really want someone to blame, then blame your own grandpa. It was your grandpa who constantly made things difficult for me over the years.” Jing De pushed all of the blame onto Jing Feng.

“How dare you, Jing De! You still refuse to admit your wrongdoing,” the ancestor of the Jing family bellowed furiously. Suddenly, he raised his hand, and his presence as an Immortal Monarch erupted. He directly placed his hand on Jing De’s shoulder before pushing down. With a bang, Jing De’s knees struck the ground, forced to kneel.

The ancestor of the Jing family’s pressure immobilised Jing De. Then he said to Jing Feng, “Little Feng, I’ll leave this person to you. You can do whatever you want with him.”

Jing Feng did not say anything. He directly drew a sword and pierced Jing De’s forehead without any hesitation, killing him.

“Swift and decisive. Nicely done, Jing Feng. Our Jing family needs people like you to lead the clan towards glory. From now onwards, you are the clan leader.” The ancestor of the Jing family did not even glance at Jing De, instead looking at Jing Feng in admiration.

“I’m no longer a member of the Jing family.” Jing Feng was indifferent, declining him mercilessly.

“Let’s go, grandpa. I don’t want to stay here. I don’t want to remain here any longer.” Jing Mumu arrived before Jing Feng. She cried very sadly.

She was still young. Her mind had not matured completely yet, nor had she witnessed the cruelty and treachery the world had to offer. What happened today had far too great of an impact on her.

“My disciple, this is how the world works. If you don’t want to be controlled by others, if you want to firmly grip your fate in your own hands, then focus on cultivating with me in the future.” Jian Chen comforted her.

“Clan leader Jing, I heard your little sword immortal Jing Mumu has returned. It’s such a big matter, so why didn’t you send something to tell us?” At this moment, a mighty voice rang out from the distance.

A group of people flew over with a great disturbance from afar. They arrived above the Jing family very quickly.

There were over thirty people in total. Apart from the Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch old man at the front, the rest were Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals.

“Senior, they’re from the Tiger Roar clan,” Jing Feng stared at the people in the sky and said to Jian Chen politely.

Jing Tianhao’s expression changed slightly. He glanced back and forth between the people from the Tiger Roar clan and Jian Chen. For a moment, he was rather uncertain about what to do.

At this moment, the people from the Tiger Roar clan finally saw the corpses on the ground. Their faces immediately changed.

“How dare you kill the elders of our Tiger Roar clan. Jing Tianhao, what is this about?” the leading Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch bellowed. His gaze became extremely sharp, staring straight at the ancestor of the Jing family.
