Chapter 1492: Belle Calling!
"Xiang Tiandong, what are you hesitating for? Agree to it!"
"Do you still want to implicate us again?"
"Quickly agree to Jiang Feng... no, Young Master Feng!"
The members of the Xiang Family, having heard that Jiang Feng had given them a glimmer of hope, were all relieved and shouted at Xiang Tiandong!
Xiang Tiandong was still immersed in a complex ideological struggle, closing his eyes, his body trembling!
"Damn it, you’re still hesitating! How could the Xiang Family have a useless person like you!"
"Did you hear what Young Master Feng said earlier? As long as you choose to submit to him, we can push you as the Family Head, and thereafter the Xiang Family will be at your command, isn’t that enough?"
"Young Master Feng, Young Master Feng!"
At this moment, some people disregarded Xiang Tiandong’s attitude and directly crawled to Jiang Feng’s feet like dogs, pleading desperately: "Young Master Feng, we agree to you! We are willing to swear allegiance to you in the future, with the whole Xiang Family following your lead, just asking for your mercy..."
Jiang Feng was unmoved, merely watching Xiang Tiandong’s reaction with indifference.
After a long internal conflict, Xiang Tiandong finally made a painful decision!
He seemed to gather all his courage, opened his eyes, and said to Jiang Feng: "Alright, Jiang Feng, from now on, I will lead the Xiang Family, swear allegiance to you... I will serve you loyally and dedicate myself to your cause! The past deeds can be disregarded, but I have only one request."
"Speak."
"I hope for a proper burial for my father, my grandfather, Uncle Jie, and the ancestor’s bodies! I don’t ask for their peace in the afterlife or their forgiveness for me; I just wish to fulfill my duty as a descendant..." Xiang Tiandong’s heart was bleeding, his face carried a hint of plea.
After all, he was loyal and righteous!
From the moment he agreed to swear allegiance to Jiang Feng, he knew he was bound to be seen as the sinner of the Xiang Family!
To put it nicely, he was now an aide to Jiang Feng; to put it bluntly, he was just a dog to Jiang Feng!
Moreover, from now on, he had to sever ties with Duanmu Zhe and others and stand on the opposing side.
"No!"
Unexpectedly, even his most humble request was met with refusal from Jiang Feng!
"Why?" Xiang Tiandong nearly roared in question!
"I want to take these bodies away," Jiang Feng said succinctly: "If you still carry thoughts of them, you’ll inevitably harbor hatred towards me in your heart, which will shake my current merciful decision; you have no right to bargain with me."
In fact, Jiang Feng was simply stating facts.
He wanted these bodies to use them for his own benefit!
In the battles tonight against the Xiang Family, although he truly exerted Demonic Qi only once, his energy was significantly spent.
These bodies, all above Spirit Void Realm, could be used to nourish him completely!
"You..." Xiang Tiandong was truly desperate, having already lowered himself so much, yet Jiang Feng remained cold-hearted!
"Xiang Tiandong, stop being a nuisance! Those people are dead, what use do you have for the bodies?"
"Haven’t you heard the saying ’When one is dead, all is empty’? Does burying them have any meaning?"
"Let Young Master Feng take them away, so the Xiang Family can completely forget tonight’s events and start anew!" The clan members again rushed to persuade Xiang Tiandong.
Xiang Tiandong, overwhelmed by despair, seemed lifeless; his body swayed before he arduously agreed: "Alright! Then let me bow before my father and grandfather one last time!"
With that, Xiang Tiandong turned and, facing the bodies of Xiang Yunshan and Xiang Lun, bowed and wept, not raising his head.
At this moment, those who had been knocked unconscious by Xiang Kunlun’s ultimate power, including Wu Feng, finally regained consciousness and weakly crawled up from the ground.
Pity that in these fierce battles at the Xiang Family, they weren’t of any use; even witnessing the fight left them with considerable internal injuries.
"Master, this..." Wu Feng looked at the kneeling Xiang Tiandong and the Xiang Family members sprawled across the ground in confusion.
They had no idea what transpired in the final battle, but seeing Jiang Feng still symbolically standing there while Xiang Kunlun lay dead was enough to deduce everything!
Their master is truly the solitary supreme being; even formidable opponents like Xiang Kunlun couldn’t shake him!
"Starting tonight, the Beijing Xiang Family will also belong to me."
Jiang Feng said calmly: "You and Xiang Tiandong will be my left and right arms; keep in contact and work closely together, united in action."
Wu Feng was extremely shocked, never expecting that Jiang Feng would overturn the Xiang Family by himself and enlist so many people!
Now, they also had their force in the Capital City!
He began to believe that Jiang Feng’s talk of advancing into the Capital City and reaching Absolute Peak was not just idle chatter!
At this point, Wu Feng turned to look at Xiang Tiandong, appreciating how the man could renounce hatred and choose to follow the light - he thus saw him as a worthy ally.
"Alright, now, take those bodies to the cars and bring them back to Jiangdong."
Jiang Feng waved a broad hand, instructing.
"Yes!"
Wu Feng immediately called his subordinates to step forward and carry away the bodies of Xiang Yunshan and others.
Even with the bodies gone, Xiang Tiandong remained kneeling on the ground, unmoved.
"Remember your promise tonight; I don’t want the Xiang Family to disappoint me a second time!"
Jiang Feng concluded his remark and didn’t look at Xiang Tiandong on the ground again, returning directly to the car with Wu Feng and others to leave.
Long after their vehicles disappeared did a gusty night wind blow through.
The Xiang Family members’ legs had gone weak from kneeling, only then did they tremblingly help each other up to look into the distance, lingering in fear.
...
Jiang Feng, carrying the bodies of the four from Xiang Yunshan, returned to the Provincial City close to midnight, around two o’clock.
Being so late, it was naturally impossible to return to Binhai, thus he stayed at Yanchi Villa.
Of course, before that, he first found a secret room, operated the Demon Skill, and turned the bodies of the four, as well as the Xiao Yao Two Elders, into Demonic Qi to absorb it all.
The replenishment was immensely vast, with Spirit Void Realm surpassing Peak Realm, offering greater enhancement to him.
After absorption, he rested in a specially arranged room by Wu Feng.
Unexpectedly, before he even woke up next morning, his phone vibrated violently.
Jiang Feng seldom enjoyed a lazy sleep, impatiently picked it up to see a number he couldn’t immediately recall.
"Who is this?" He answered coldly.
"The sun’s shining on your bum, still lazing in bed? Lazy pig!"
Then, a somewhat familiar and alluring voice came through: "Are you back in Binhai now? I’m coming to find you today, give me the address!"
Jiang Feng’s slumber vanished immediately!
He recognized the voice as belonging to the indifferent and striking beauty he encountered in the mall elevator earlier!
She called him the very next day; did she really have to be in such a hurry?!
