Miao Xiaolin and Xiao Fangfang's vision went dimr after hearing this. They weren't interested in the so-called Demigod battle and were here mainly to accompany Cheng Lingsu. They couldn't help but think of doing sothing to get a wealthy husband now that they saw so many big shots here.
The security today was stricter than usual. A black-clothed man stopped them, "Your pass!"
Song Ronghao took out the pass proudly. The difficulty in obtaining this kind of a pass was enough to make others smack their lips. If it weren't for his Song family's title of the wealthiest family in Shanghai, they wouldn't have got it at all.
The man inspected the pass, "You pass only allows you to go to the 3rd checkpoint!"
"You aren't allowed to go near the Reddrop Peak."
Song Ronghao revealed an embarrassed expression on his face. He had already strived his best and could only obtain this pass so ti ago. He explained, "A Demigod battle is quite dangerous. We might get injured if we're too close."
The naïve Cheng Lingsu nodded towards him. She only wished to see Jiang Xiu fight with the other person. It was enough for her to just know the outco of the battle.
As they climbed along the mountain path, they saw swarms of people on the Donglu Moutain. Many martial artists were in locations which were difficult for ordinary people to reach. So stood on top of peaks while so on the edge of cliffs, each showing off their skill. It was quite an ardent sight.
"Fudge! Is that guy crazy? He's sitting on such a thin branch? Is he not scared of falling down?" Miao Xiaolin saw a person who was sitting on a branch the width of an arm of a tall tree, which was over an overhanging cliff.
"Hahahaha…"
That man laughed loudly, "How can a martial artist fall from a re branch? That's ridiculous…"
Miao Xiaolin and Xiao Fangfang were frightened. They were around 10 m far from the man yet they could hear this voice clearly as if he was speaking at their ears. They looked at each other in shock. This was similar to how those experts of Wuxia worlds shown in TV dramas communicated.
As for Cheng Lingsu, she had already witnessed Jiang Xiu's terrifying abilities.
"Please pardon us!"
The Song family's advisor cupped his fists towards that man to offer an apology then looked at the won, "Don't gossip here or else you might run into trouble."
Miao Xiaolin and Xiao Fangfang closed their mouths in embarrassnt.
But not long after they climbed up, they saw a 6-year-old child at a distance. "Fudge! Have the adults gone crazy? They even brought a child to witness such a bloody duel."
The advisor shook his head helplessly, "A battle between Demigods is quite rare after WW2. It can be even said that it rarely happens. The Demigods are the monarchs of the lands they oversee and have their own territory, so they rarely have disputes with each other. Only, due to the rise of this new Demigod, Jiang Luoxia, everything has beco chaos."
"A good opportunity like this rarely cos in one's life so how could they miss it? Moreover, the comprehension you can gain by observing a battle between Demigods is equivalent to 3 years of bitter cultivation at ho so no one will want to miss it."
Miao Xiaolin wore a look of disdain after hearing this.
"How co Jiang Luoxia still hasn't arrived? He didn't run away, right?" Soone comnted after looking at the full moon."
"Didn't the information say he already entered the Capital?"
Cheng Lingsu raised her head to look at that illusionary man sitting on the peak. She guessed that this person ought to be Jiang Xiu's opponent, Ji Wudao, whom the Jiang family relied on. He looked quite fierce. The moonlight seed to gather on his body. The more she looked at him, the more she felt like that this person should be in the Heavens and not in this secular world. She wondered if Jiang Xiu was really afraid.
"He didn't flee abroad in fear after coming to the Capital, right?"
"Hahaha!"
A few minutes went by, then 30 minutes, an hour… Ti kept passing by and the night crept up on the sky even more. Many people had arrived in the morning and waited till evening, then nightfall until night had co.
"Did that Jiang Luowhatever co or not?"
"That damn scumbag!"
Miao Xiaolin grumbled. If a sudden, cold mountain wind interrupted the flow of the perfect warmth of the autumn night, it would lead to a person's sentints getting injured. Many martial artists shot their gazes towards her, similar to how a person becos the target of everyone else's gazes if they shout loudly in the library. She imdiately closed her mouth in embarrassnt.
…
In the manor, Elder Jiang looked towards Jiang Xiu and Jiang Yi with an imposing aura and a gaze as if he had already crushed them thoroughly, seemingly conveying that they could only submit to him or perish as a result of opposing him. Elder Jiang had occupied the top seat for a long ti, so his aura was enough to scare a lot of people. Even the mbers of the Jiang family sitting on the side were shivering coldly.
He suddenly turned around and pointed towards the peak, towards Ji Wudao around whom the moonlight was gathering.
"Ignorant child. Do you see Immortal Ji sitting on the Reddrop Peak?!"
"The Diaoyutai wants to handle but do you know why they don't do it? Even when such a huge incident occurred in Jiangnan, they only removed a portion of my positions because they had to consider the consequences of offending my Jiang family, and bear the rage of Immortal Ji if they offend , Jiang Yishan."
These words were too egotistical and tyrannical, but they were facts. It was unavoidable for the Imperial Court to be replaced. Ji Wudao was an Earth Immortal who had lived for over 500 years. He had experienced the Ming followed by the Qing Dynasty, the Era of the Warlords, the Republic of China and then the present era. Imperial power was nothing in front of him.
Even in the Immortal Martial Continent, the sects and gates were all above the imperial power.
Elder Jiang had all the power he needed. He was fearless of any opponent.
The mbers of the Ji family wore prideful expressions on their faces, feeling proud that they were from the glorious Ji family. Ruo Wengong calmly stroked his mustache, "It's already 9 PM. Jiang Luoxia still hasn't shown up. I'm afraid it is as the others say, he must have escaped."
A disciple chipped in, "The martial arts world had already declared that Jiang Luoxia wouldn't dare to confront the Ancestor. Even soone as brash as Jiang Luoxia wouldn't dare to face him due to the gap in their strength and will be forced to make an escape."
The disciple beside him trembled with excitation. The opponent had fled fearing their Ancestor's na. He couldn't hold back and shouted loudly, "Long live Ancestor!"
Another disciple followed after him, "Long live Ancestor!"
"Long live ancestor!"
Their voices spread widely in the night scene, resounding within the Donglu Mountain.
Many martial artists were shocked after hearing it. It seed that Jiang Luoxia didn't have the guts to appear in this battle. They couldn't remain calm as they looked at Ji Wudao on the Reddrop Peak. His popularity would only soar from now and soon, he would reach the peak of China whom no one could attain in this life.
Actually, a few VIPs from Diaoyutai were observing everything from a secret place. They also shook their heads one after another. If Ji Wudao didn't fall, they would have to think over their plans to move against Jiang Yishan again. They were extrely disappointed.
"Hahaha…" Elder Jiang laughed madly, an ominous glint flashed through his eyes. "It's still early for you to think you can bring , Jiang Yishan, down…"
"Brat, what will you do now?"
Jiang Xiu answered him calmly, "Even if I wished to return to your Jiang family. Your son, Jiang Chang, will be unwilling. Your other son, Jiang Rong, will also be unwilling, and even you will be unwilling."
"What rubbish are you saying? I have the final say in this Jiang family!"
"Are you really willing then?" Jiang Xiu asked him.
"Bring him over!"
Another person got dragged over. He scread in alarm, "Father, s-save …"
Everyone looked towards the source and discovered Jiang Zhan kneeling on the ground. A man stood behind him with a gun pointed towards Jiang Zhan's head. He was scared shitless right now. "Father…"
Jiang Hao was shocked, "SON!"
Elder Jiang was furious, "You have the nerve to capture my grandson? What are you planning to do?"
Jiang Xiu replied in an emotionless voice, "What else? Jiang Hao, what do you think? You believe I should let what you did go unpunished?"
Bang! The sound of a gunshot resounded in the area.
"NOOO…."
Jiang Hao scread loudly.
Splurt!
The bullet passed through his head. Jiang Zhan laid on the ground amidst a pool of blood.
"You…" Elder Jiang's eyes almost popped out. This action was unredeemable. The other mbers of the Jiang family obviously won't recognize Jiang Xiu since he had killed a grandson of the family publicly.
Jiang Xiu sneered, "Now, will you redeem your promise of admitting into the family?"
"Hmph! It's just a pipe-dream."
Jiang Xiu's gaze flickered after seeing the stupefied expression on Elder Jiang's face, "Do you know who crippled Jiang Hang's limbs? It was . Do you know who killed Jiang Ao? Let tell you, it was also . Do you know why your Jiang family has fallen to such a bad situation? That's also because of …"
"What?! H-How is that…"
Jiang Xiu's pupils expanded all of sudden as if they had liquefied, transforming his eyes into a pitch-black color. His features transford slowly, along with his hair becoming longer at speed visible to the naked eye.
"Are you surprised? Shocked?"
Saying so, Jiang Xiu stepped in the air and flew to the skies under everyone's dumbstruck gazes, flying towards the Reddrop Peak, "That's because… I am…"
"JIANG LUOXIA!"
Soone at a distance cried out, "Quickly look! Jiang Luoxia has arrived. Oh my God, he's actually flying!"
