Only My Way

Late at night.

Although Ling Wuyuan was too lazy to deal with the remaining small fries.

After spending some time, the remaining [Red Fire Bandits] were eventually exterminated by the local forces.

Even those bandits who were guarding outside the city gate, and immediately planned to run away when they saw something was wrong, were the same.

Facing the extremely furious Chen Li and his guards.

Those bandits without a leader were just a bunch of nobodies.

Finding them and catching up with them took far more time than killing them face-to-face.

However, although the enemy bandits had been completely wiped out, in some areas inside the town, it was still a scene of chaos at this moment.

Before, although the Jiang family mansion was the main target of the [Red Fire Bandits] in the town, they would definitely not let go of other places if they could help it.

For example, the civilian houses in various parts of the city were deliberately set on fire by the [Red Fire Bandits], specifically used to create chaotic scenes.

This caused many civilians to lose all their homes and savings on the spot, even if they did not die on the spot, and became penniless overnight.

As for the Jiang family mansion, the main target, after being repeatedly set on fire, although it was not completely burned down due to timely rescue and special wood, it was still a miserable and dilapidated appearance.

Looking around.

In the entire large courtyard building complex, about one-third of the area was burned into ruins.

Until now, you can still see some fire and smoke under the ruins…

The remaining two-thirds of the buildings are not intact either, they often look smoky or crooked, and can only be barely rescued…

Even the main hall of the Jiang family mansion was pierced with many large holes, becoming a tattered mess.

However, compared to these external things, what makes the Jiang family even more uncomfortable is the corpses of their clansmen that were being moved out one after another.

Basically.

At least one-third of the Jiang family's personnel in the Taixia Town base camp, including the patriarch, were dead.

It must be understood that most of the dead were Jiang family combat personnel!

This could not be helped.

In order to cover those without combat power, facing the sudden danger, they could only choose to stand at the forefront, which led to them dying the fastest despite their strongest strength!

In the midst of the surrounding cries and shouts, looking at the hundreds of corpses in front of him, the Jiang family's old ancestor, who was already seriously injured, only felt a darkness in front of his eyes, and immediately felt a little weak in his legs, almost fainting.

But he finally managed to steady himself.

Then.

He gritted his teeth and ordered to the people beside him:

“Send the fastest messengers to bring back all the Jiang family members located outside as quickly as possible, tell them what happened to the Jiang family tonight, and then tell them that the election of the new patriarch is imminent…”

Although he knew that re-electing the patriarch at this moment would inevitably cause many disasters, the urgent situation at hand forced the Jiang family to elect a new spokesperson as quickly as possible, and the Jiang family's old ancestor must also focus on recuperating as soon as possible.

Then, the Jiang family's old ancestor immediately looked at Ling Wuyuan, and he forced a smile that was more ugly than crying:

“Little brother, you've seen something unsightly, my Jiang family's nearly eight-hundred-year-old foundation has now been reduced to this, it's really a natural disaster…”

His voice was hoarse and full of sorrow.

To this.

Ling Wuyuan found it a bit difficult to respond.

To be honest, his previous days were much more miserable than the other party's.

Um… [After I've had it miserable enough, I find it difficult to feel anything about other people's suffering?]

Things might be described this way.

As for Ling Wuyuan's silence, the Jiang family's old ancestor didn't think much about it, only assuming that the other party was relatively indifferent and that they were not relatives or friends.

He quickly adjusted his mentality and said to an old man beside him who was still trying to maintain his demeanor even though he was wrapped in a lot of bandages:

“Butler, this little brother Ling Wuyuan is the savior of our entire Jiang family, as a reward for saving our lives, you first take him to the treasure house to choose some things!”

“All the things in the treasure house are for this little brother to choose, all for this little brother to take…”

The implication was that even if Ling Wuyuan moved the entire treasure house away, he would have no objection.

Hearing this, the chief butler, who had already been wrapped into half a mummy, was slightly stunned.

That was all kinds of precious things that the entire Jiang family had spent hundreds of years collecting.

Usually, even the head of the family could not easily use the things inside, and needed to find various excuses to shut the mouths of the elders.

However.

Faced with the Jiang family's old ancestor's order, the other party still loyally responded:

“Yes!”

“Young hero, please follow me.”

Faced with benefits, Ling Wuyuan would naturally not be polite.

Although this act of righteousness was purely an unexpected event, from the result, he did save the Jiang family, didn't he?

So he naturally had no reason to be polite or decline.

A few minutes later.

After Ling Wuyuan and the chief butler had completely gone far away.

The Jiang family's old ancestor looked at the corpses all over the ground in front of him, and after being extremely sad and silent for a while, he closed his eyes and ordered to the family's third butler standing beside him:

“Now, find the surviving young girls in the family as quickly as possible, and then bring the five most beautiful ones to me, I have an important task to arrange for them…”

Hearing this.

The third butler, whose injuries were not serious, immediately understood the meaning of the Jiang family's old ancestor, and nodded decisively: “Yes!”

Then, without any hesitation, he immediately went to find the surviving family girls.

At this moment, the third butler and the Jiang family's old ancestor both deeply understood that the current Jiang family had already suffered a great loss of foundation, like an old tiger with a broken claw!

Even if it still seemed to retain some living strength and had already successfully passed the [Red Fire Bandits] disaster, the Jiang family was still full of a sense of self-preservation in the face of the covetousness and great malice of the various families in Taixia Town…

One bad move.

In the near future, the entire Jiang family would have to be dismembered and annexed by the other families…

Currently, the only strong backer they could find was Ling Wuyuan!!

Even if they didn't know what the origin of this mysterious young man was.

But just the power that the other party had revealed had already proved that the other party was fully qualified to protect the Jiang family, and even allow the Jiang family to reverse and annex the other families.

Regardless of age.

Regardless of identity.

That was the most direct violence…

Sufficient violence to beat the entire Taixia Town up and down until they were convinced and made the entire Taixia Town kneel down and surrender…
