Chapter 195
After hearing Xiao Ting’s words, the faces of the Ghost Controlling Sect members were grim.
Their plot is finally revealed!
At this moment, the people of the Ghost Controlling Sect finally realized that the Jiuyan Sect had no intention of a genuine marriage alliance.
Their goal was very likely to seize the dowry!
Such an act would even make other demonic paths ashamed.
How could the Jiuyan Sect, which was once a reputable sect, be so shameless?
The elders of the Ghost Controlling Sect were red-faced with anger.
However, they were now on the Jiuyan Sect’s territory, and with Xiao Ting’s strength, they would not be able to defeat him even if all of them combined their forces.
“Elder Luo, the Jiuyan Sect is determined to seize the dowry, what should we do?” one elder communicated to Luo Wu.
After a moment of contemplation, Luo Wu replied: “The dowry cannot be taken back, but if we return like this, we will surely be skinned and refined by Old Ancestor! I suggest we let Lin Mubai and Yan Mei marry. This way, we can still achieve the goal of forming an alliance with the Jiuyan Sect.”The other elders found this reasonable.
At this point, clinging to the Jiang family was impossible, but if they could fulfill the goal of an alliance, they would have something to report back.
This was better than coming back empty-handed.
Moreover, Lin Mubai possessed an Innate Dao Bone, and marrying him could also be considered an investment.
“Phew!”
After exhaling a deep breath, Luo Wu said: “If that’s the case, then we choose the first option! Let Lin Mubai and Yan Mei get married!”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ting also breathed a sigh of relief.
The reputation of the Jiuyan Sect was not good these days, and if they really seized the dowry, who knows how much worse it could get?
“Good, good!”
He laughed, the old face full of wrinkles reiterated: “This is good! From now on, the Jiuyan Sect and the Ghost Controlling Sect will be true family!”
With that, he turned to a disciple and said: “Go and bring Lin Mubai and Yan Mei here!”
“Yes.”
The disciple received the order and left. But just as he took a step…
“Sect Master, Supreme Great Elder! Lin Mubai has brutally murdered a true disciple of another sect, slaughtering Yan Mei in our sect’s prison! Despite my exhaustive efforts to stop him, it was to no avail! I had no choice but to capture this madman!” Jiang Chen arrived with Lin Mubai in tow. ℟

At this moment, Lin Mubai was still dragging the corpse of Yan Mei…
Upon seeing this, the great hall fell into a silence as still as death.
After a brief moment of shock, the members of the Ghost Controlling Sect angrily exclaimed: “How dare you!!”
“Lin Mubai, you dared to kill the number one true disciple of my Ghost Controlling Sect?”
“That was your wife! How could you bring yourself to do such a thing?”
“This is not just murder, it’s torture! You have no regard for my Ghost Controlling Sect at all!”
In contrast, Xiao Ting, Gu Changqing, and others were almost popping their eyes out.
They knew Lin Mubai was mad, but they never imagined he would go this far!
“Senior Xiao, Jiuyan Sect must give my Ghost Controlling Sect an explanation for this matter!” Luo Wu said while forcibly suppressing his anger.
“This…” Xiao Ting was at a loss for words.
Jiang Chen, however, curled his lip and said, “We’re all one family, let’s not quibble over such details.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ting mentally gave Jiang Chen a thumbs up.
Luo Wu and the others from the Ghost Controlling Sect, however, were in disbelief.
Listen to this, can you believe it?
Even now, they’re still talking about ‘one family’? It’s so shameless!
Luo Wu felt he had underestimated Jiuyan Sect.
Jiuyan Sect wasn’t just a Demonic Sect. It had clearly become a Mad Sect!
A Mad Sect that would chop and steal even from “family”!
Seeing that Luo Wu and the others were almost enraged to death, Xiao Ting finally realized the gravity of the situation.
Although Jiuyan Sect’s reputation wasn’t much to speak of now, it was still worth trying to salvage what little was left.
With this in mind, he finally straightened up and said, “Lin Mubai, why did you kill her? If you have been wronged, speak up quickly!”
“I just felt like it!” Lin Mubai replied righteously.
Xiao Ting was stunned. Just because he felt like it, Lin Mubai killed the true disciple of the Ghost Controlling Sect?
If he felt a little more like it, would he dare to even kill the Old Ancestor of the Ninth Peak?
Uhh…
It seems he really tried once…
For a moment, Xiao Ting was at a loss, not knowing what to do.
How could Jiuyan Sect justify such an unreasonable killing?
Jiang Chen, who loved to watch the excitement, nodded and interjected, “I think it must be because of love…”
F*ck love! Is your love born from killing people?!
Everyone thought sarcastically.
Luo Wu and the people from the Ghost Controlling Sect had completely lost their patience.
The situation had come to this, and the marriage alliance was completely off.
They could see that Xiao Ting and the other high-level members of Jiuyan Sect seemed to have no intention of giving an explanation to the Ghost Controlling Sect.
“Senior Xiao, shouldn’t you first return the dowry?” Luo Wu asked thoughtfully.
“Dowry? What dowry?”
Xiao Ting feigned innocence, spreading his hands: “I have never received any dowry from your Ghost Controlling Sect!”
With that, he turned to Gu Changqing and others, asking, “Have you received any dowry?”
“Absolutely not! I don’t even know what a dowry is!” Gu Changqing immediately shook his head.
Zhang Lingfeng, the master of Sword Peak, was even more direct: “My Jiuyan Sect is too big and too busy to care about your Ghost Controlling Sect’s dowry.”
Luo Wu’s face turned as dark as charcoal in an instant. He realized that Jiuyan Sect was dead set on murder and plunder!
He wanted to explode with anger, but he also knew he couldn’t win in a fight right now…
He wanted to endure. But how could one endure such a thing?!
Luo Wu’s eyes fell on Jiang Chen.
They say Jiang Chen is the scourge of the world, the source of all evil.
But at this moment, Luo Wu thought that compared to the others of Jiuyan Sect, Jiang Chen was many times better.
After all, it was Jiang Chen who had captured Lin Mubai and brought him to face justice.
At least he had some sense of propriety!
With this in mind, Luo Wu turned to Jiang Chen and said, “Jiang Chen, you are the young master of the Jiang family, surely you will speak a fair word, right?”
“Of course! Who doesn’t know that I am a paragon of virtue?” Jiang Chen nodded.
A paragon of virtue?
Luo Wu’s mouth twitched.
Not wanting to dwell on this issue, he continued to ask, “So in your opinion, both morally and logically, shouldn’t Jiuyan Sect return our sect’s dowry?”
Jiang Chen wanted to nod in agreement.
Not because he had suddenly become virtuous but because he was annoyed.
He was the Eldest Senior Brother of the Ninth Peak, Lin Mubai was his Junior Brother, and the two were as close as brothers!
As the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father, and these madmen of Jiuyan Sect, didn’t even share a bit with him after greedily taking Lin Mubai’s dowry?
This was absolutely intolerable.
But before he could speak out, he heard a voice.
“Everything except the Nine-Yang Soul Embryo is yours,” Xiao Ting suddenly transmitted.
“Demons, take my sword!” Jiang Chen charged out with his sword.
In an instant, the Flame Blood Dragon Sword’s blood light surged, and several Sword Qi slashed directly towards the people of the Ghost Controlling Sect!
“????”
As the sword light approached, Luo Wu and the others were collectively dumbfounded.
They couldn’t understand what was happening.
What they didn’t know was that compared to talking, Jiang Chen preferred to take action!
Caught off guard, several Heavenly Origin realm elders of the Ghost Controlling Sect were injured by Jiang Chen.
Seeing this, Xiao Ting and the others of Jiuyan Sect were also dumbfounded.
No one expected Jiang Chen to be so bold and brave.
Was he trying to silence them for the sake of the sect and the dowry?
“This is too much! Too much! Too unreasonable!!” Luo Wu suddenly roared, his anger consuming his reason.
“Supreme Great Elder, what should we do?” Seeing this, Gu Changqing asked through a transmission.
“What else can we do? Fight back! Try not to kill, capture them all first!” Xiao Ting replied instantly.
After saying that, he looked at Luo Wu and said, “Elder Luo, we’re all one family, so please stay as a guest in Jiuyan Sect!”
