Chapter 6

Jiang Rulong's face instantly changed; he finally understood why Jiang Chen wanted to frame him. What he couldn't understand was why this playboy had suddenly become so smart.

"Just two servants, no matter how bold they are, they wouldn't dare to kill their master. Moreover, with the status of the Yang brothers, it's impossible for them to obtain the Purification Pill. Jiang Rulong, since you want to arrange a marriage, I'll fulfill your wish. I just didn't expect Murong Xiaoru to be so domineering, ha ha, it's really refreshing. If you had a proper wedding tomorrow, I might not have revealed myself, because watching someone suffer is more enjoyable than directly eliminating them. Unfortunately, you want to run away. How could I let you go so easily?"

Jiang Chen had a smile on his face.

Not only Jiang Rulong, but even Jiang Zhenhai outside the door felt as if he was meeting Jiang Chen for the first time. This guy was known for being a playboy, but he never expected him to be so shrewd, especially regarding the marriage arrangement, which was a well-thought-out plan.

"Ha ha, Jiang Chen, I've always underestimated you. It seems you're not as stupid as I thought, but unfortunately, you've done something foolish."

Jiang Rulong suddenly laughed, his eyes revealing no concealment of his murderous intent.

"Foolish? Tell me more."

Jiang Chen shrugged.

"You are really foolish. Since you knew I was leaving tonight, you shouldn't have come alone. With your cultivation at the first stage of Qi Realm, you're just here to die. Anyway, I'm leaving, and before I go, I'll eliminate you. When I achieve something in the future and return to this City Lord's Mansion, I'll send Jiang Zhenhai, that old fool, down to join you."

Jiang Rulong's intent to kill was already locked onto Jiang Chen. In his eyes, Jiang Chen was like an ant, and he could crush him with a casual flick. After killing Jiang Chen, he would flee far away.

"Bad."

Jiang Zhenhai outside the door thought it was bad and was about to rush in, but he heard Jiang Chen's words.

"You can't kill me."

Jiang Chen's tone was very confident.

"Is that so? At such a close distance, with your cultivation at the first stage of Qi Realm, I can kill you even if Jiang Zhenhai appears in time."

Jiang Rulong sneered.

"I'm sorry, but I'm no longer at the first stage of Qi Realm, but at the ninth stage."

Jiang Chen said, directly releasing his aura. A powerful yuan force burst out from his body, and the thick yuan force directly forced Jiang Rulong to take two steps back.

"What?"

Jiang Rulong exclaimed, looking at Jiang Chen as if he had seen a ghost. This situation was something he never expected.

Jiang Zhenhai outside the door also secretly saw Jiang Chen's change. His shock was no less than Jiang Rulong's, but it was quickly followed by intense joy.

"Heaven has opened its eyes, heaven has opened its eyes. It turns out my son is not a waste but a genius. This damn kid has hidden his abilities so deeply, even I was deceived."

Jiang Zhenhai was almost in tears. His son, who was always a source of pain, turned out to be not only not a waste but also a genius, reaching the ninth stage of Qi Realm at fifteen, something unprecedented in the entire Tianxiang City. Through the incident with Jiang Rulong, Jiang Chen also demonstrated his deep scheming and cunning, far surpassing his peers.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. Three days ago, you were still at the first stage of Qi Realm. Were you hiding all along? Even at the ninth stage, your yuan force shouldn't be so powerful."

Jiang Rulong was shocked.

"In this world, there are many things you can't imagine, Jiang Rulong. You could have had a bright future, but you destroyed it yourself. Everything, it's over."

Jiang Chen's body suddenly moved, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Jiang Rulong. His hand, like a steel clamp, swiftly grabbed Jiang Rulong's neck, and under the pure physical suppression, Jiang Rulong couldn't move at all.

"Stop!"

Jiang Zhenhai shouted and jumped in from outside the door.

Snap!

Unfortunately, he wasn't fast enough. Jiang Chen forcefully snapped Jiang Rulong's neck, cutting off all his life.

"Oh, Chen, how could you kill him?"

Seeing Jiang Rulong lying on the ground, Jiang Zhenhai sighed. Besides, his eyes also revealed deep shock. As a fellow ninth stage of Qi Realm, Jiang Rulong was killed by Jiang Chen in one move, which was unbelievable.

"Father, shouldn't such a person be killed? If we don't kill him, he will be a threat."

Jiang Chen said.

"Hmph! After all these years of training him, he did such a thing. He deserves to die. However, what about the wedding tomorrow? The relationship between the City Lord's Mansion and the Murong family was already bad, and now it's even worse."

Jiang Zhenhai frowned, this was his concern.

"Father, you're too naive. You should know that two tigers cannot coexist on one mountain. In Tianxiang City, the City Lord's Mansion and the Murong family cannot coexist peacefully. Moreover, that Murong old man doesn't even take us seriously and openly humiliates us. Why should we be polite to the Murong family?"

Jiang Chen smiled.

"Humiliate?" Jiang Zhenhai was puzzled.

"Father, don't be fooled by Murong Zhan's carefree demeanor. This old man is as shrewd as anyone. Today's marriage arrangement, using Murong Xiaoru, is a humiliation to our City Lord's Mansion. Our City Lord's Mansion is a major force in Tianxiang City. If we marry such a woman, wouldn't it make the world laugh at us? If Jiang Rulong were to join the Murong family, it would be a great loss to our City Lord's Mansion."

Jiang Chen's eyes sparkled. "That ugly woman is a tool and means to humiliate us. I even suspect whether she is Murong Zhan's daughter. Tianxiang City is not that big, and the Murong family is a major family. If the daughter of the Murong family is so ugly, why has no one ever mentioned it? If this marriage is really set, whether the City Lord's Mansion marries that ugly woman or Jiang Rulong joins the Murong family, the City Lord's Mansion will become a laughingstock, overshadowed by the Murong family."

Jiang Chen's words enlightened Jiang Zhenhai. He had always felt something was off but couldn't figure it out. After Jiang Chen's explanation, he completely understood. He had thought the marriage would ease the tension between the two families, but he almost got humiliated.

Two tigers cannot coexist on one mountain. The City Lord's Mansion and the Murong family cannot coexist peacefully.

"Chen, how did you suddenly become so smart?"

Jiang Zhenhai looked at his son as if he were a rare object.

"Father, I've never been stupid."

Jiang Chen smiled.

"Right, Chen, how did your cultivation improve so much?"

Jiang Zhenhai asked in surprise.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly. He knew Jiang Zhenhai would ask this, and he had already prepared his answer: "Father, three days ago, the Yang brothers tried to kill me, but I was saved by a wandering expert. This expert not only eliminated the Yang brothers but also helped me improve my physique and absorb the accumulated medicinal power in my body, allowing me to reach the ninth stage of Qi Realm. All this is due to Father's efforts. Without so many spiritual medicines, I couldn't have grown so fast."

"Ha ha, my son has turned a disaster into a blessing. I wonder what kind of expert has such skills. It's a pity I didn't have the chance to meet him."

Jiang Zhenhai laughed happily. There was nothing more joyful than seeing his son become successful.

"Father, we don't need to think about easing the relationship with the Murong family. In my view, Tianxiang City can only have one dominant family. If Murong Zhan wants to play, we'll play with him."

Jiang Chen said.

"Right, otherwise they might think I, Jiang Zhenhai, am afraid of him. Chen, what about the wedding tomorrow?"

Jiang Zhenhai looked at Jiang Chen. If it were before, he wouldn't have consulted Jiang Chen on such a major matter, but now his son had changed, and he might have better ideas than himself.

"Those who humiliate others will be humiliated in return!"

Jiang Chen's face turned cold. "The appearance of Murong Xiaoru has already damaged our City Lord's Mansion's reputation. Since that's the case, we'll humiliate them back, making the Murong family lose face and become a laughingstock in Tianxiang City."

"What do you plan to do?"

Jiang Zhenhai's eyes lit up, not knowing what his son had in mind.

"Simple, they want to marry Jiang Rulong, right? Have a coffin made for him."

Jiang Chen said with a smile.

In Jiang Chen's eyes, friends are friends, and enemies are enemies. He never tries to please his enemies. Those who are his enemies will never have a good end, and Jiang Rulong is one of them. The Murong family will be the same. Two tigers cannot coexist on one mountain. Eliminating the Murong family is the first thing Jiang Chen wants to do after his rebirth.

Jiang Zhenhai, who could become the City Lord and hold a position in Tianxiang City, was naturally not a coward. Saying he didn't want to eliminate the Murong family would be a lie.

Moreover, Jiang Chen was his only hope. Now that his son, who was once a failure, had become so wise, he was overjoyed. If his son said to act, then act. Who is afraid of whom?

The next day, the City Lord's Mansion was still festively decorated, even more lively and celebratory than the previous day. As for Jiang Rulong's death, only Jiang Zhenhai and his son knew about it.

The guards and servants of the Jiang family were constantly giggling. Yesterday, Jiang Rulong had taken Murong Xiaoru on a tour of the City Lord's Mansion, and many people had seen Murong Xiaoru's true appearance, which was truly breathtaking. The eldest son could marry such a wife, which must mean he had burned a lot of incense in his past life.

In Tianxiang City, the tall and imposing Murong father and daughter rode side by side on high horses, followed by several young talents of the Murong family, each with a look of arrogance. The wedding procession stretched for three miles, followed by an eight-person sedan chair, looking very majestic.

The wedding procession headed towards the City Lord's Mansion, causing a huge stir along the way.

"Good heavens, is that a woman? How can she look like that?"

"Ugh, I'm going to vomit. The Murong family's eldest daughter is truly a sight to behold. I heard the City Lord's Mansion's eldest son is a young talent. How can he live with this?"

"The City Lord's Mansion is pushing the eldest son into a fire pit."

...

As expected, the Murong family was humiliating the City Lord's Mansion. By making such a grand procession in Tianxiang City, they had already made the City Lord's Mansion a laughingstock.
