Chapter 3746: Situation in the Jing Family (2)
“Master, could I take this courtyard with me? This courtyard is the only thing that still belongs to us in the Jing family,” Jing Mumu asked with some relief.
“Of course.” Jian Chen smiled with a gentle gaze. “However, you better deal with the matters of the clan first. Remember, as long as I’m around, you don’t have to fear anyone in this city. Do whatever you want to do. If anything happens, I’ll be there for you.”
“Yes. Thank you, master!” Jing Mumu answered with some confusion. She seemed rather uncertain about what he was talking about. Apart from collecting her belongings that possessed deep sentimental value, what other matters did she have to deal with in the clan?
However, she understood very quickly. A series of footsteps rang out outside. Clan leader Jing directly entered the courtyard with the two Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals of the Tiger Roar clan. Over a dozen members of the Jing family followed behind the three of them.
“Mumu, you’ve finally returned. Do you have any idea of the lengths I went to to find you in the past few years?” Pushing through the wooden door, clan leader Jing looked at Jing Mumu who was tidying her things and smiled.
“Ah! Grandpa clan leader, w-what brings you here?” Jing Mumu was slightly surprised. She was still young after all. She was not completely mature yet. She had not witnessed the vile side of the world. There was still a hint of naivety in her eyes.
“The future little sword immortal of our Jing family is back, so how could I not come here and see you in person?” Clan leader Jing glanced around the hut. His eyes immediately shone as he said, “Mumu, you seem to be gathering your things? Are you unhappy with this courtyard?”
“No, grandpa clan leader. I’m leaving the clan and going outside to cultivate with my master,” said Jing Mumu.
“Your master? Mumu, since when did you have a master?” Clan leader Jing frowned and became displeased. The faces of the two Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals from the Tiger Roar clan beside him immediately sank.
Before Jing Mumu could explain, a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal from the Tiger Roar clan growled and said, “Jing Mumu, you’re already a part of our Tiger Roar clan now. Without the permission of our Tiger Roar clan, no one can accept you as their disciple.”“Who said Mumu is a part of your Tiger Roar clan?” As soon as he said that, a furious voice rang out from the distance. Jing Feng slowly made his way over. His complexion was still rather pale.
“Jing Feng, you’ve come at the perfect time. As Jing Mumu’s grandfather by blood, I need to let you know about this. I’ve already formally passed the order that Jing Mumu will be marrying into the Tiger Roar clan, so formally, Jing Mumu is no longer just a member of the Jing family, but a member of the Tiger Roar clan as well,” clan leader Jing said to Jing Feng.
“No, I refuse. Grandpa clan leader, I’m not going to the Tiger Roar clan to become a human cauldron. Mumu already knows that the fate awaiting me is a very horrible death if I become a human cauldron. Grandpa clan leader, you can’t send me to my death, alright?” Jing Mumu shook her head fiercely. Her eyes reddened slightly. She was pitiful.
“Nonsense. Who told you that you’re going to become a human cauldron? Jing Feng, was it you? Were you the one telling Mumu this nonsense?” Clan leader Jing’s face suddenly sank as he looked towards Jing Feng.
“Jing De, it’s not like you don’t know what cultivation method the current clan leader of the Tiger Roar clan practises. In recent years, who knows how many women have suffered at his hand. Don’t tell me you don’t know the consequence of Mumu being married off?” Jing Feng scolded him.
“How dare you. Do you really think a mere Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal like you can talk about the matters of our Tiger Roar clan?” The faces of the two Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals from the Tiger Roar clan sank as they radiated with cold killing intent.
“Please calm down, esteemed guests. I will definitely give your Tiger Roar clan a satisfying conclusion to Jing Feng’s offensive behaviour,” said clan leader Jing to the two Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals as his face changed to a pleasant countenance.
“I hope you can deal with it in a way that leaves us satisfied, or we will definitely report this to the clan leader.” A Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal from the Tiger roar clan snorted coldly.
“Don’t worry. I promise you as the leader of the Jing family that you will be satisfied.” When clan leader Jing looked at Jing Feng again, his expression immediately became vicious. He growled and said, “Jing Feng, if you offend the Tiger Roar clan, are you really unaware of the consequences that you’ll bring upon our Jing family? I’ll give you two choices right now. Either lower your head to our esteemed guests and admit your mistake and take Mumu to the Jing family yourself.”
“Or, I will personally expel you from the Jing family, and your fate will have nothing to do with the Jing family anymore.”
Jing Feng laughed out of anger. “You want me to personally send Mumu to the Tiger Roar clan? I can’t do that. As for expelling me from the Jing family, you may be the clan leader, but you still don’t have the right to do something like that, if you don’t mind my bluntness, Jing De.”
“I don’t, but the ancestor of our Jing family does.” Clan leader Jing smiled before bowing deeply towards the forbidden grounds of the Jing family. He called out, “Ancestor, forgive me for my uselessness. Please intervene!”
As soon as he said that, the presence of an Immortal Monarch gradually radiated out from the forbidden grounds of the Jing family.
This was the ancestor of the Jing family, a Third Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch!
However, the ancestor of the Jing family never showed himself. Only an elderly voice rang out slowly, “Clan leader Jing De will be entirely in charge of the matters of the Jing family. Jing De’s will is also my will.”
Jing Feng’s face immediately became filled with despair as if the final shred of hope in him had been completely snuffed out. He murmured in a daze, “Ancestor, are you going to give up on Mumu as well? So be it. If that’s the case, it’s fine even if I leave this clan.”
Jing Feng finally seemed to make some sort of decision. His gaze immediately became determined as he declared loudly, “From today onwards, Jing Mumu and I will be leaving the Jing family. We will no longer be members of the Jing family.”
“No, you are you, Jing Mumu is Jing Mumu. Jing Feng, you can leave the Jing family, but Jing Mumu can’t.” Clan leader Jing smiled as if he had Jing Feng in the palm of his hand.
When he heard that, Jing Feng suddenly smiled strangely. “Jing De, I’m afraid you’re dreaming a little too much if you still want to interfere with Mumu’s matters. In consideration of all these years of acquaintanceship, I’ll give you a word of advice. Don’t interfere with anything regarding Mumu, as you no longer have that right.”
“Let alone you, even the Tiger Roar clan relatively renowned in Falling Cloud City doesn’t have the right.”
“Are you talking about Mumu’s mysterious master?” Jing De was completely unconcerned. He mocked him. “I didn’t think Mumu’s mysterious master would actually give you so much confidence. Don’t tell me her master is even stronger than the ancestor of the Tiger Roar clan?”
“Hahaha, you really have no idea what you’re doing to compare him to the ancestor of our clan.” A Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal could not help but laugh. Shortly afterwards, he raised his foot and walked towards Jing Mumu. He continued, “I can’t be bothered wasting time bickering with you here. I’m taking Jing Mumu with me first. As for Jing Feng, if you don’t give our Tiger Roar clan a proper explanation for stepping out of place earlier, people will think our Tiger Roar clan are easy targets. As a result, clan leader Jing will be responsible for delivering him to our Tiger Roar clan.”
“Fair enough. I will tell the experts of our clan to capture Jing Feng and personally deliver him to the Tiger Roar clan.” Jing De smiled sinisterly.
By now, the Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal from the Tiger Roar clan had already arrived by Jing Mumu’s side. He reached towards her very casually.
“Hmph, you want to touch my disciple?” At this moment, a bone-piercingly cold voice appeared out of nowhere. Shortly afterwards, terrifying killing intent swept out. It seemed like it had turned into a sword, stabbing into the Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal’s body mercilessly.
Immediately, the Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal shuddered. His eyes were filled with extreme fear and dread, but very soon, his eyes turned hollow. His entire body fell backwards like a log. His soul had already perished.
There were no wounds on his body, but his soul had already disintegrated from the sword condensed from the killing intent of an Immortal Emperor.
A man in white had silently appeared behind Jing Mumu, standing there quietly.
