Chu Mo did not linger here for long and asked Lu Tianyue to have someone clean up the battlefield at the city tower. Then, he walked up to Jin Xian, a look of anger flashing in his eyes again. Even though Chu Mo had managed to maintain a peaceful state of mind, facing such a situation, he still could not remain calm.
"You really did it!" Chu Mo looked at Jin Xian and said coldly, "Let's go, what are you still sitting here for? Who are you performing for?"
Jin Xian raised his head, his eyes having become quite dull, and looking at Chu Mo, he gave a wretched smile: "Go? Where to? Back to the Jin Family to face trial? I won't!"
The last two words were shouted by Jin Xian, his dull eyes suddenly filling with anger, glaring at Chu Mo: "Lu Tianming! It's all because of you! If it weren't for you, why would I have had to frame my own younger brother? He was my brother… connected by blood, brother of the same mother!"
As he spoke, Jin Xian looked at Fang Lan, who was holding Jin Ming's corpse, and gritted his teeth: "And you! You sl*t… why did you have to come to the Jin Family! Without you, would there have been so much trouble? You're the one who killed my brother!"
Fang Lan's already pale face turned even paler.
Slap!
Li Fangzhong could not bear it any longer, walked over, and slapped Jin Xian fiercely across the face, coldly saying, "To betray and murder your own younger brother and still have so many excuses, rationalizing your actions, it's sickening!"
The force of Li Fangzhong's slap was not light, and although he did not use any spiritual power, it still caused Jin Xian's mouth to bleed.
"Ptui!" Jin Xian spat out several teeth that had been knocked loose, then sneered in misery: "What I said is the truth! If not for Lu Tianming, if not for this sl*t Fang Lan, why would I have needed to kill my own younger brother? If he hadn't died, once you, Lu Tianming, returned alive, just one word from you, and I would have had to obediently roll down from the position of Jin Family head! I can't accept this! Why should it be this way?"
Chu Mo stared at Jin Xian, dumbfounded, saying, "You actually wanted to kill your own brother just for this reason?"
"Exactly!" Jin Xian gritted his teeth: "I hate Chu Mo, if not for his appearance, my Jin Family would not have faced such calamity. I hate you even more! Lu Tianming! Your presence has made me live in constant unease!" Jin Xian's face showed a deep venom, "Why didn't you die during Lingyue Sect's pursuit?"
Knowing Chu Mo's identity, Lu Tianyue's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and she thought to herself: If you knew the person you hate is the same one, I wonder what kind of expression you would have?
Chu Mo also felt quite speechless, looking at Jin Xian, and scoffed, "The position of Jin Family head? Only someone like you would covet it. Do you really think I would covet wrestling with Jin Ming for the mere position of Jin Family head?"
Looking at the somewhat stunned Jin Xian, Chu Mo sighed, "What a pity for Jin Ming, he was the most uninterested in seizing power and profit among your Jin Family's legitimate children. And yet… he was harmed by you, a person so selfish and narrow-minded."
Jin Xian stood there, his expression ferocious, saying, "Nonsense! Jin Family is a powerful and grand clan in Jinxiu City! Even big sects like Lingyue Sect covet the Jin Family! How could you possibly not be tempted? Lu Tianming, don't think I don't know what you're thinking, you've been building your reputation in Jinxiu City, making everyone grateful to you, do you dare say you've never had designs on the Three Great Families?"
Jin Xian's hysterical roar resonated far.
By now, many people had started moving towards this location, including some from the Jin Family and the Hong Family.
These people, having almost all heard Jin Xian's roar, didn't understand what was happening or know with whom the new head of the Jin Family was arguing.
As they approached and saw who it was, everyone was stunned.
Lu Tianming!
The people arriving could not forget that face, nor could they forget the words he had said as he left Jinxiu City.
It was precisely those threatening words towards Lingyue Sect, that had ensured that even though Lingyue Sect had blockaded Jinxiu City for so long, they hadn't really done anything to the people of Jinxiu City.
They clearly remembered the head of Lingyue Sect had once said through gritted teeth, after killing Lu Tianming, he would massacre the entire Jinxiu City.
These words had left the people of Jinxiu City anxious and restless day and night.
At the same time, the name Lu Tianming, in the hearts of the people of Jinxiu City, had become almost divine!
He had won the respect of nearly everyone!
At first, there were some remarks claiming that the disaster was actually brought upon by Lu Tianming himself, and they were merely unlucky fools following his lead.
But these voices were quickly drowned out by angry ones: "The Lingyue Sect has been coveting Jinxiu City for not just a day or two, who wouldn't see their wolfish ambitions? Lu Tianming was nothing more than an excuse!"
Due to the clandestine efforts of sisters Lu Tianyue and Lu Tianqi, the voices questioning Lu Tianming gradually disappeared.
To this day, even those from the Jin Family who knew they had sided with the Lingyue Sect had to admit that if it weren't for Lu Tianming's presence, Jinxiu City would probably have already fallen under the Sect's control... and have been bloodily purged.
Seeing Lu Tianming appear unharmed here, excitement showed on almost everyone's face, except for a few from the Jin Family.
Especially when they learned that all the Lingyue Sect disciples who had blockaded Jinxiu City were already dead, they were so excited they almost cried.
Chu Mo handed a letter he held to a Jin Family member he recognized—Jin Tiegang!
However, in Jin Tiegang's eyes, the man before him was the respected Young Master Lu.
He courteously took the letter, glanced at it, and his expression immediately changed. He then silently passed the letter to a Jin Family elder beside him.
This elder also glanced at the letter, his expression drastically changed, and intense anger exploded from him as he pointed at Jin Xian: "You you you... you beast!"
The letter quickly circulated among the Jin Family elders, and everyone immediately knew what had happened. Their looks toward Jin Xian were filled with immense anger and deep contempt.
Jin Ming's death deeply impacted the Jin Family, and it was at this time Jin Xian stood up and said, "We can't go on like this, let's just side with the Lingyue Sect!" He also told the family elders, "I'm not being cowardly, the Lingyue Sect people killed my brother, and I hate them to the bone! But our Jin Family can no longer bear such losses. I don't want to see another family member's corpse hanging at the city gates of Jinxiu!"
Even today, Jin Xian told the multitude of family elders that he was coming to take his brother home!
Who would have thought that this sanctimonious new family head of the Jin Family was actually the prime culprit behind Jin Ming's death!
Such actions were truly unbearable.
Jin Xian stood there, his face distorted with malice and eyes filled with resentment as he gritted his teeth, "I won't defend my actions, what I did was purely for the good of the Jin Family..."
Thud!
Jin Xian had not finished speaking when a Jin Family elder, unable to restrain himself, stabbed Jin Xian in the abdomen, spearing right through him.
"Family law!" the elder roared.
"Family law!" another Jin Family elder stabbed Jin Xian.
"Family law!" yet another Jin Family elder took action.
