Chapter 517: Chapter 518: The Steward of the Jiang Family

Who?

All heads turned.

A middle-aged man dressed in a nine-clawed python robe approached, but at this moment, he stood respectfully before an elderly man dressed in purple!

"It’s the Clan Leader of the royal family, Long Tian!"

"Good heavens, who is this old man to merit such respect from Long Tian?!"

"He must be someone of no small significance!" Everyone’s faces were filled with shock.

"Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce with great fanfare, this person is the grand steward of the Jiang royal family, Jiang Tao!" Long Tian said with a smile.

Boom!

The crowd exploded!

"Holy shit, it’s the rumored steward from one of the ancient eight clans of Jiang royal family!"

"This is one of the top five royal families among the eight great royal families of Dragon Country!"

"Never thought we’d encounter someone from the legendary royal families here!"

"This is too shocking!" All the martial artists present were astounded.

"Jiang Tao!" Jiang Qi glared at the middle-aged man wearing a five-clawed dragon robe, his eyes blazing with fury.

"Uncle, who is he?" Ye Wudao asked curiously.

"He is the grand steward of the Jiang family, Jiang Tao!" Jiang Qi clenched his teeth in anger.

"Your subordinates pay their respects to the grand steward!" The three persons including Golden Light Master immediately greeted Jiang Tao, who wore the five-clawed dragon robe, with a clenched fist salute.

Slap!

Slap!

Jiang Tao gave Long Tian a couple of fierce slaps and berated, "You idiots, what status do you have to dare lay a hand on the Seventh Master?"

The whole place was shocked!

"Sss, this man is the rumored Seventh Master of the Jiang royal family!"

"No wonder he’s so formidable!"

Hearing this, Golden Light Master and the others trembled, never having dreamt that Jiang Qi was from the Jiang royal family!

"Grand steward, please calm your anger!"

"We didn’t know he is the Seventh Master of the Jiang family!" The three said with a wry smile.

Bang!

Bang, bang!!

Jiang Tao kicked the three men furiously, a ferocious look on his face as he said, "Not only did you dare to attack, but how could you fail to kill someone trapped at the bottom of a lake for ten years, you bunch of trash!"

"Jiang Tao, why has the Jiang family sent you here?" Jiang Qi asked with disdain.

Jiang Tao’s face transformed from ferocious to one of feigned pain and regret as he said, "Heh, Seventh Master, so many years have passed, yet your hostility towards me is still so strong!"

"It’s not just you, this servant, but your entire Jiang family. I find it disgusting!" Jiang Qi spat on the ground in undisguised revulsion.

"Jiang Qi, for your unauthorized jailbreak, what is the appropriate punishment?" Jiang Tao asked angrily.

"Heh, if we’re going to battle, then let us battle, enough of this nonsense!" Jiang Qi’s gaze was icy.

"Before dealing with you, there’s another matter I must take care of!"

Jiang Tao’s gaze shifted to the ghost doctor lying on the ground, and he said with a cold smile, "Ghost doctor, our Jiang family offered you such generous terms to heal the Family Head, and yet you refused!"

"Cough, in this lifetime, I wouldn’t heal Jiang the devil! Don’t be hypocritical, kill or slash as you will, I’m at your mercy!" the ghost doctor laughed coldly.

"Heh, rest assured, anyone who dares refuse our Jiang family does not end well!" Jiang Tao sneered, gesturing with his hand, "Brother Long Tian!"

"Grand steward, what do you wish to command?" Long Tian asked with a smile.

"Kill the ghost doctor!" Jiang Tao ordered.

"Very well," Long Tian nodded.

"You dare touch old ghost, just try it!" Jiang Qi gripped his spear, his eyes filled with anger.

"Seventh Master, this is the grand steward’s command. Please don’t make this difficult for me," Long Tian said.

Jiang Tao looked displeased as he spoke, "Seventh Master, I hope you haven’t forgotten who you are, you’re still a criminal after all!"

"Jiang Tao, mark my words, you just try to touch the ghost doctor!" Jiang Qi said, unfazed.

"Royal family members, heed my order, prepare for battle!" Long Tian commanded.

"Yes!" The one hundred thousand members of the royal family responded, their gaze toward Jiang Qi filled with hostility.

"Seventh Master, we have one hundred thousand royal warriors, as well as several Ninth Grade Martial Artists. You’d better not overestimate yourself!" Jiang Tao scoffed.

Jiang Qi’s expression grew grave.

Jiang Tao was no weaker than him, and there was also the royal army with him!

This battle was more likely to bring misfortune than luck!

"You’re right, but I won’t let you touch my friends!" Jiang Qi declared.

"Oh really?" Jiang Tao’s mouth curled into a mocking smile, "Do you really think I came here without backup?"

He clapped his hands and commanded, "Come out!"

In an instant, thousands of soldiers clad in red armor appeared, all at least of Spirit Warrior rank, not lacking Ninth Grade Martial Artists, with one at the forefront being a powerful Third Grade Battle King.

"My god, what kind of army is this? Their strength is too formidable!"

"The weakest is at the Ninth Grade Spirit Warrior level, and there are Martial Artists of the Battle King rank!"

"The royal powers are indeed terrifying!" all the surrounding Martial Artists gasped in shock.

"The Jiang clan’s Blazing Flame Army!" Jiang Qi’s expression intensified to the utmost.

"I just want the Ghost Doctor’s life. Of course, Seventh Master, if you’re willing to trade your life for the Ghost Doctor’s, I’m not opposed!" Jiang Tao said menacingly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qi hesitated not a moment and replied, "Alright!"

What?

Hearing Jiang Qi’s words, the Ghost Doctor on the ground hurriedly said, "Seventh Master, no! My old life is not worth your sacrifice—you’re still young!"

"For a friend, I am willing to take a knife in both ribs!" Jiang Qi spoke.

"Good, good, good! Worthy of being the Seventh Master, so righteous and noble, haha, with you dead, it’ll be easier for me to report back, and we’ll all be happy, won’t we?" the smile on Jiang Tao’s face stretched wider and wider.

"Make your move!" Jiang Qi closed his eyes.

"Then, please forgive my offense!" Long Tian made his move, thrusting his sword toward Jiang Qi.

"Pu!"

Just then, a muffled groan was heard.

What’s going on?

Jiang Qi opened his eyes, only to find Ye Wudao standing in front of him, sword piercing his abdomen.

"Nephew!" Seeing this, Jiang Qi couldn’t believe his eyes and quickly supported Ye Wudao.

"Cough, cough! Uncle Seven, the Ghost Doctor has a life-saving grace with me, he has saved me from danger on numerous occasions! It’s only right, both emotionally and rationally, that I should die for him!" Ye Wudao said weakly, his mouth seeping blood.

"Ye Zi, why would you do this?" Tears brimmed in the Ghost Doctor’s eyes.

Conversely, Long Tian sneered, "A mere Seventh Grade Battle Spirit, worthless. Not just one, but ten, a hundred, couldn’t replace the Ghost Doctor in death!"

"Shut the f*ck up, his life is worth more than mine!" Jiang Qi roared in anger.

What?

Hearing Jiang Qi’s words, Long Tian looked at Jiang Tao in doubt.

Jiang Tao chuckled coldly, "Kill the boy. Let his life replace the Ghost Doctor’s!"

"As you wish!" Long Tian nodded.

"Uncle, step aside!" Ye Wudao pushed Jiang Qi away and stared at Long Tian, saying, "Kill me and let the Ghost Doctor go!"

"Very well, that’s brave!" A satisfied smile spread across Long Tian’s face.

Ye Wudao slowly closed his eyes.

"Seventh Master, don’t worry about me, take him and leave, my death is not a pity!" the Ghost Doctor shouted.

Jiang Qi hesitated, the Ghost Doctor was also his good friend, and he was the sort of person who was noble in righteousness and willing to go through thick and thin for friends!

"Hurry, or it’ll be too late!" the Ghost Doctor urged.

"Ghost Doctor, I’m sorry!" Jiang Qi’s face was full of guilt as he prepared to make his move and rescue the Ghost Doctor.

"You brat, go to hell!" Long Tian swung his sword to kill Ye Wudao, aiming for the vital spot.

At that critical moment, a deep roar that sounded like a dragon bellowed from afar, "Whoever dares to harm the Young Master will be killed without mercy!"

Who?

Long Tian couldn’t help but stop, curiously turning his head to look behind him.

And there he saw an army of hundreds of thousands, flying the grand banner of Beiwang Palace, advancing mightily, clearly a seasoned army with a fierce and keen aura like that of tigers and wolves!

The entire place fell deathly silent!
