"Now, the Jiang family is in trouble, just like our own brother is injured. How can we, the Ji family, stand by and ignore it? Please rest assured, the head of the Jiang family, the Ji family will go all out to help the Jiang family tide over the difficulties. Your politeness makes me wait.
I feel alienated.”
After saying this, Ji Hong's eyes showed an indescribable sincerity and determination, as if silently telling the Ji family's cherishment and commitment to this friendship. Hearing this, the surrounding Ji family members also expressed their firm support.
The eyes seemed to prove with actions the inseparable bond between the Ji family and the Jiang family.
Although everyone in the Jiang family smiled gratefully at Ji Hong's words on the surface, their hearts were shaking and they could not calm down. They secretly thought about how much interest entanglements and power were hidden behind these so-called "friendships from generation to generation".
struggle.
If it hadn't been for the Ji family's constant pressure in recent years, the Jiang family might have been able to maintain its former glory and not end up in this situation today. This time, the Jiang family was able to get help from the Ji family only because they endured the pain and sacrificed their lives.
Huge price and sacrifice were paid in exchange for the Ji family's help.
These thoughts flashed through the minds of the Jiang family members, but no one dared to speak them out easily. They knew very well that in this world where the strong were respected, maintaining superficial harmony and respect was the way to survive.
Even if they have all kinds of reluctance and helplessness in their hearts, they can only endure it silently, continue to rely on the Ji family, and seek a chance to breathe. Therefore, they can only bury their dissatisfaction and anger deep in their hearts, and on the surface they still feel sorry for Ji.
I would like to express my most sincere gratitude and respect to Hong for his generous help.
They didn't dare to say it. After all, they had to rely on Renji's family. If they did say it, their Jiang family would really be doomed.
Jiang Zhan slowly stood up from his seat. Although his figure staggered slightly, his eyes shone with seriousness and warning that could not be ignored.
He looked at Ji Hong, with a hint of unnoticeable heaviness in his tone: "Elder Ji Hong, please allow me to speak frankly, that Ling Xiao is by no means an idle person. His behavior is strange, like a ghost in the night, which is difficult to understand.
Elusive. We should not only judge a hero based on his superficial strength, but also need to be wary of his ability to kill people silently. If such an opponent is taken lightly, the consequences will be disastrous."
When Ji Hong heard this, his eyes paused on Jiang Zhan for a moment, and a trace of imperceptible contempt flashed in his eyes. In his opinion, Jiang Zhan's remarks were just because he was afraid of being attacked by a sneak attack before, and he was overly cautious.
So, he raised his head slightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. The smile contained both disapproval of Jiang Zhan and absolute confidence in his own strength:
"Jiang Zhan, after all, our cultivation and knowledge are different between you and me. I have been traveling around the world for many years and have encountered countless powerful enemies. I wonder how confident I am in judging my strength. That kid, if he really dares to show up,
, I have my own means to make him understand that provoking the Ji family will lead to death. "
Ji Hong's words revealed unquestionable domineering and majestic power, making the surrounding air seem to freeze.
Listening to these words, Jiang Zhan couldn't help but feel a burst of complicated emotions in his heart. The sharp pain coming from the wound was like reminding him of the painful lesson of this encounter, and Ji Hong's contemptuous attitude made him feel mixed emotions.
Chen. However, he also understood that at this moment, he had no other choice but to endure.
Therefore, Jiang Zhan suppressed the dissatisfaction and unwillingness in his heart, took a deep breath, and tried to make his voice sound more stable and respectful:
"What Elder Ji Hong said is absolutely true. Your strength and prestige are naturally beyond my reach. Since you are in charge of everything, the Jiang family will naturally feel more at ease. Everything that follows will depend on Elder Ji Hong.
.”
After saying these words, Jiang Zhan bowed slightly to show respect. Although he felt a lot of unwillingness and helplessness in his heart, he also knew that in the situation at hand, only relying on the strength of the Ji family could win a glimmer of hope for the Jiang family.
"ah--"
The scream came suddenly, like a sharp blade cutting through the tranquility of the night sky. Then, a cold body suddenly fell to the ground, right at Ji Hong's feet. Blood instantly dyed the ground red, and the air was filled with
Intense blood and uneasiness.
That corpse was one of the martial soul warriors carefully selected by the Ji family to accompany him. There was still fear and unwillingness in his eyes, as if telling the suddenness and cruelty of death.
Ji Hong's face instantly darkened, like dark clouds before a storm, and his eyes flashed with complex emotions - anger, shock, and a hint of unnoticeable worry.
As the elder of the Ji family, he is well aware of the importance of this operation, and also understands that the sacrifice of every warrior is an unbearable pain for the family. This sudden change is undoubtedly a challenge to the majesty and bottom line of the Ji family.
Seeing this, the surrounding Ji family members became nervous. Some clenched their weapons and looked around cautiously; others bowed their heads in silence to pay their last respects to their fallen comrades. The whole scene was changed by this scream.
It has to be solemn and depressing.
At this moment, a burst of arrogant laughter penetrated the dull air. It was Ling Xiao's voice, with a bit of provocation and arrogance: "Since people from the Ji family dare to interfere in the affairs of the Jiang family, then do a good job."
Prepare to be buried with him, hahahaha." This laughter was like a sharp knife in the cold wind, making people shudder.
Laughter echoed in the night sky, with a bit of unruly and arrogance, as if it was a provocation to the world. Then, Ling Xiao's figure gradually blended into the night and disappeared without a trace.
That laughter was not only a demonstration to Ji Hong, but also a confidence in his own strength. However, under this confidence, there was also a subtle caution hidden under it.
Ling Xiao knew very well that Ji Hong was no ordinary person. His strength was not only reflected in his cultivation, but also in his composure and sophistication that had been tempered in the battlefield.
Whenever Ling Xiao's eyes meet Ji Hong's, he can feel an invisible pressure. It is a kind of mutual perception between strong people, who can understand each other's depth without words.
Therefore, Ling Xiao secretly thought that it might not be easy to completely defeat Ji Hong with his own strength. He vaguely felt that only by joining forces with Jin Yan and gathering the strength of the two of them could he possibly be able to compete with him.
.
What's more, Jiang Zhan has recovered from his injuries after this period of recuperation. Although he has not fully returned to his peak condition, he can already pose a threat to him. After weighing the pros and cons, Ling Xiao naturally cannot choose to confront the opponent head-on.
As a result, Ling Xiao had a plan in mind. He planned to adopt a more subtle and effective strategy - using his speed and stealth ability to harass and intimidate the Jiang family every day, making everyone in the Jiang family panic and make it difficult to sleep and eat.
