At that moment, a cultivator from the Li family suddenly stepped forward, attempting to use the name of Smoke and Mist Cave Heaven to intimidate Jiang Yifei and the others: "Don't go too far! We are disciples of Smoke and Mist Cave Heaven, and several Immortal Masters are currently stationed at our Li Mansion. Beware, they won't be lenient with you!"
The moment his words fell, Jiang Yifei sneered coldly: "Oh? Smoke and Mist Cave Heaven? Perfect, we were planning to pay a visit there soon. Since you have ties with them, then you should understand the reason behind Tingting's parents' deaths. Speak up, what's the truth?"
The cultivator was overwhelmed by Jiang Yifei's imposing aura and stammered, unable to form a response. The other members of the Li family also lowered their heads, not daring to meet Jiang Yifei's gaze.
At that moment, a knight suddenly charged in from outside: "Young Master, we've found a hidden chamber in the backyard that seems suspicious."
Jiang Yifei's eyes gleamed with sharp light upon hearing this: "Oh? Take me there."
With that, he turned and headed out. The Li family members exchanged uneasy glances, at a loss for what to do. They knew that this time, they were truly finished.
From a distance, Gu Sheng observed everything unfold, a sigh of admiration escaping his heart: The Jiang family truly lives up to its legendary name!
In the hidden chamber, Jiang Yifei and his group uncovered a large amount of evidence that confirmed the Li family's involvement in the deaths of Tingting's parents. The members of the Li family collapsed to the ground one by one, their faces ashen.
"Hmph! What boldness your Li family has!" Jiang Yifei said coldly, "Did you really think having Smoke and Mist Cave Heaven as your backing would allow you to act with impunity? Let me tell you—no matter who it is, anyone who dares harm members of the Jiang family will pay the price!"
With that, he waved his hand grandly: "Take them away! We're returning to the Jiang family!"
Everyone present was struck by Jiang Yifei's overwhelming authority. No one dared step forward to stop him, and they could only watch helplessly as the Li family members were taken away. Gu Sheng silently followed behind, curious to see how this drama would play out.
Breeze Town was now in an uproar; everyone was discussing the sudden upheaval. They knew that starting today, Breeze Town would no longer remain the quiet little town it once was.
The name of the Jiang family would be etched deeply into the hearts of everyone.
Misty rain enveloped the world like a gauzy veil, yet it did nothing to diminish the sharp, commanding aura emanating from the Jiang family and their entourage. They trudged through the muddy mountain paths, heading straight for Smoke and Mist Cave Heaven.
Jiang Yifei rode atop a mystical beast, his white robes fluttering in the rain, making him appear all the more ethereal. His gaze was firm and icy, seeming to pierce through the layers of rain and into the depths of Smoke and Mist Cave Heaven. Close behind him was Jiang Caixuan, her heroic figure radiating a noble grandeur and indomitable fighting spirit that inspired awe.
When they arrived at Smoke and Mist Cave Heaven, the rain poured even harder, as if the heavens themselves were roaring in fury over the impending confrontation. Although the mountain gates of Smoke and Mist Cave Heaven were grand and majestic, they now appeared somewhat cold and desolate.
"Who dares trespass into Smoke and Mist Cave Heaven?" A furious shout shattered the silence of the mountain gates, and a middle-aged man emerged with a group of cultivators.
Jiang Yifei smirked coldly and gestured for the knight behind him to step forward. A knight immediately leapt out, clashing fiercely with the middle-aged man. In an instant, Sword Qi surged and Mana reverberated, but it quickly became clear that the middle-aged man was no match for the knight of the Jiang family and was swiftly defeated.
"Is this the strength of Smoke and Mist Cave Heaven? Truly disappointing," Jiang Yifei remarked mockingly.
Just then, several echoes reverberated from within Smoke and Mist Cave Heaven, and figures sped toward them—Immortal Masters, alerted to the trespass, had come to investigate.
"Who dares storm into our Smoke and Mist Cave Heaven?" one Immortal Master asked sternly.
Jiang Yifei dismounted from his mystical beast and slowly walked forward, head held high: "We are members of the Jiang family of the Ancient Wastelands. Today, we are here to demand justice."
"Justice? What justice?" another Immortal Master asked, frowning.
"The disciples of your Smoke and Mist Cave Heaven murdered the parents of a member of the Jiang family. This justice, you must provide!" Jiang Yifei's voice was icy, each word brimming with killing intent.
The Immortal Masters exchanged glances, a flicker of doubt flashing in their eyes. They knew of the reputation of the Ancient Wastelands Jiang family—their power and ruthlessness were well known. But they also knew that there were no ties between Smoke and Mist Cave Heaven and the Jiang family. Where did this accusation of murder come from?
"Hmph! What evidence do you have?" an Immortal Master scoffed. "If you dare to cause trouble in our Smoke and Mist Cave Heaven without solid proof, do you think we're merely clay statues to be toyed with?"
Jiang Yifei's eyes gleamed coldly at these words. Slowly, he drew a Jade Pendant from his robes, its surface engraved with the distinctive emblem of the Jiang family.
"This is a relic left by the victims, bearing traces of Mana from your Smoke and Mist Cave Heaven. Do you still want to deny it?" He raised the Jade Pendant high above his head, his voice unwavering and chilling.
The Immortal Masters' expressions darkened as they laid eyes upon the pendant. They realized that this matter could no longer be settled peacefully. The Jiang family's power and dominance were infamous, and now it was clear—they were in deep trouble.
"We did not murder your clan's relatives," one Immortal Master said tersely. "There must be some misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" Jiang Yifei chuckled coldly. "Very well, then hand over the culprits, and we'll interrogate them ourselves."
The Immortal Masters exchanged uneasy glances, hesitation flickering in their eyes. They knew that once they gave up the culprits, they would be admitting Smoke and Mist Cave Heaven's guilt. This would not only tarnish their reputation but could also escalate the conflict further.
