Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1570 The Untamed 50

Jiang Cheng chuckled at this, "When Xue Yang murdered the Chang family in Liyang, not only was I, Wei Ying, and Second Young Master Lan present, but also Taoist Xiao Xingchen and Taoist Song Zichen. They even witnessed Xue Yang walking out of the Chang family covered in blood. So after getting Xue Yang's confession, I handed him over to Baixue Monastery for detention."

"And if I remember correctly, there is no such person as Chang Ping in the Liyang Chang family. The Chang family genealogy is still in my hands."

"Even if the Chang family is completely wiped out, not just anyone can impersonate them. Otherwise, who among the hundreds of immortal families would be able to sleep soundly?"

Jiang Cheng personally destroyed Xue Yang's Dantian, and now he saw that this guy really was using resentment to cultivate. He used to have a devilish aura, and although he had a round, baby-like face, now he couldn't suppress the disgust in his heart, and his expression became sharp.

Xue Yang was a master of acting. He knew that his escape today depended on his ability to capture Jiang Cheng. So he pretended to be frightened by Jiang Cheng and took a step back. With a pale face, he mustered up his courage and accused Jiang Cheng, "I was born a homeless child in Liyang City. I came to the Chang family to steal for a living. But when I entered the house, I saw bloodstains and dead bodies all over the walls and floors!"

"Even though I've had a complicated life, witnessed the warmth and coldness of human nature, and been through some desperate situations, seeing the dead bodies scattered all over the ground and the blood everywhere was something I'd never seen before. So I couldn't think of stealing anymore. All I could think of was leaving as quickly as possible to save my own life."

"I was a bit frightened at the time. Although I was in such a desperate situation, I still had a will to survive and could barely walk, but it was normal for me to stumble and get blood on the ground. I'm afraid that's why Taoist Xiao Xingchen and Taoist Song Zichen misunderstood me as a murderer."

"Later, they blocked me off at Chang's residence. I protested many times, but to no avail. They even dropped me directly onto the roof, so that only my toes could touch the ground. Under such torture, I confessed to the so-called crime and was able to barely keep my life. If I had refused to confess, I don't know how much more suffering I would have endured!"

Then some people felt that there was nothing wrong with Xue Yang's account. Of course, most people believed it and only wanted to find something to hold against Jiang Cheng and the Jiang family, and they did not really want to seek justice for Xue Yang.

Jiang Cheng didn't bother to dwell on the topic and said bluntly, "Sect Master Qin personally handed over the evidence to the Immortal Supervisor that Sect Master Jin was imitating Wen Ruohan, experimenting on living people and attempting to create zombies. It just so happens that the skill of replicating Yin Iron was learned by Xue Yang, a descendant of Xue Chonghai. I hope you can still bite Xue Yang's hand when your disciples are used by the Jin family to make puppets."

Wen Ruohan's majesty is indeed still fresh in the memory of many people. Now they finally remember that the young Jiang clan leader in front of them is the genius who can defeat Wen Ruohan!

As the saying goes, he who knows the times is a hero. The Jin family preserved their strength in the Sun Shooting Campaign and obtained a lot of spoils, but did the Jiang family suffer any losses?

Moreover, in comparison, Jiang Cheng alone could withstand the combined strength of the three great clan leaders, while Jin Guangshan's current cultivation level was probably...

Soon, the people who were dazzled by Jin Guangshan's big promises became more sober. The four great families were not something they could hope to replace by joining forces. Although the four great families today might not be as powerful as the Wen family in the past, their power had also shrunk a lot!

Otherwise, why would they believe Jin Guangshan’s lies?

Isn't it just to seize other people's resources to strengthen yourself?

Jiang Cheng understood these people's thoughts very well, so he flew into the air and slapped the mountain not far away. When the ashes dispersed, he found that the not-so-short mountain was flattened to the ground by his slap!

Jin Guangshan was horrified. If it was just a war of words, he, Jin Guangshan, would have a thousand tricks to use, but Jiang Cheng's move was enough to shock hundreds of immortal sects. After this move, those who coveted the Jiang family would have to think carefully about their own weight.

Thus, the mighty Qiongqi Dao Alliance was disbanded. After Jin Guangshan returned, he fell seriously ill. On the surface, he handed over most of the affairs to his only son Jin Zixuan, and was nervous about showing his favor to Jin Zixuan. However, secretly, he sent letter after letter to Meng Yao, and his promises were more "sincere" each time. He even hinted that if Meng Yao was capable, he would have no objection to replacing Jin Zixuan.

At this moment, Meng Yao no longer had any hope or respect for Jin Guangshan, her biological father in the real sense.

Originally, after realizing Jin Guangshan's hypocritical and profit-seeking nature, he thought of using his performance and achievements in the Sun Shooting Campaign to exchange for the capital to return to the Jin family.

Then he took the opportunity to seize the Jin family, allowing Jin Guangshan to see with his own eyes that the Lanling Jin family he cherished finally fell into the hands of the son of a prostitute whom he despised so much.

To this day, Meng Yao can't help but feel happy whenever she thinks of that scene.

But now his thoughts have changed. Jiang Cheng made him realize that he is a jade bottle and cannot collide with a clay jar like Jin Guangshan.

He realized even more that his mother Meng Shi was a complete victim. Her only mistake was to pin her hopes for the rest of her life on a despicable person like Jin Guangshan.

Before Jiang Cheng took Lan Zhan back to Lotus Pier, he secretly went to the Jin family and eliminated Xue Yang.

Jiang Cheng explained to Lan Zhan and Lan Huan, "Xue Yang has already achieved some success in cultivating his resentment, but his mind has become completely twisted. Simply restricting him is no longer effective. Moreover, considering he has replicated Yin Iron and cultivated the art of puppetry, I cannot allow him to continue living."

Lan Zhan was present during Xue Yang's interrogation that day. He explained to Lan Huan, "We took Xue Yang's tragic childhood into consideration, so at the suggestion of Taoist Xiao Xingchen and Taoist Song Zichen, we didn't kill him. We simply destroyed his Dantian and agreed to Taoist Song Zichen's suggestion to imprison Xue Yang at Baixue Temple."

Lan Huan suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. I was wondering why Sect Leader Jiang would let Xue Yang, a villain who murdered an entire family, go free."

Jiang Cheng smiled nonchalantly and reminded Lan Huan, "Brother, there's no need to address me so formally. In the future, you and I will be formally related by marriage. Just call me Wan Yin, brother."

Lan Huan readily agreed, "Okay. Wan Yin's calling you 'brother' is quite appropriate."

After Lan Zhan and Jiang Cheng and his brother Lan Huan had finished laughing, he suggested, "Brother, as the Immortal Leader, you must thoroughly investigate Jin Guangshan's secret experiments with puppetry and give an explanation to all the other Immortal Sects. This will help you establish your authority."

Jiang Cheng also said, "I will also write to Jinlintai to demand compensation. My Jiang family will not let Jin Guangshan get away with this so easily."

Lan Huan originally wanted to advise "forgive others when you can", but Xue Yang's previous experience was right in front of him, not to mention that it was an internal affair of the Jiang family. Jiang Cheng was willing to inform him in advance because of his position as the Immortal Leader and the upcoming marriage relationship between the two families.
