"This Jiang, what audacity!" The Great Elder banged his cane in anger.
Since Yan Jiu founded the glorious Yan Family, such a thing had never happened, it was an absolute disgrace!
However, even the important figures present from the Yan Family were personally feeling the panic!
Jiang Feng came with ill intentions, wouldn't he slaughter them all?
"Quick! Quick, go invite the two Great Sacrificial Officers to come down the mountain!!"
It was Yan Lei who reacted quickly, hurriedly yelling at the elite leader.
"Un-Understood!" The elite leader then stumbled up in a panic, scrambling off in a hurry to the back mountain to invite the two Great Sacrificial Officers.
"Great Elder, what do we do now?" Yan Lei turned back to ask the Great Elder.
"I don't know either, how about we go to the back mountain to avoid the brunt?" The Great Elder pondered nervously for a moment and said.
"Makes sense! Then let's go! With the two sacrificial officers holding the fort, that Jiang won't dare to be arrogant in front of the Yang brothers!" Yan Lei hurriedly said.
"No! When I said 'we', I did not mean you!"
The Great Elder gravely said, "You are now the new Family Head of the Yan Family, how can you flee from battle? You must remain here to preside over the big picture, be everyone's backbone. The Second and Third Elder and I will go to the back mountain first to preserve the core strength of the family!"
Motherfucker!
Yan Lei's eyes widened, you shameless old man, if you want me to stay behind, just say it, don't give me that pompous talk!
He never expected that, having just assumed the position of Family Head, he would have to stay behind to take the fall!
"Big brother, now's your chance to prove you're stronger than me!" Yan Zhen sneered with no good intentions, "Leave Jiang Feng to you, you hold him off! I'll accompany the elders to the back mountain!"
"Son of a bitch!" Despite Yan Lei's extreme reluctance, he couldn't go back on his word and could only watch helplessly as the three elders and Yan Zhen hurriedly fled to the back mountain, leaving him frozen in place.
At that moment, more and more people in the Yan Family Castle got wind of what was happening!
Leading them was Yan Ting, the Third Brother, and Yan Li, the Fourth Brother, who rushed over with their respective families and branch members towards the Ancestor Hall.
"Big Brother, what's going on? I heard a killer appeared in the castle? Where are the three elders and Second Brother?" the Third Brother Yan Ting anxiously asked Yan Lei as he approached.
"They all ran, leaving only me here!" Yan Lei said through gritted teeth.
"Ran?" Dozens of people were shocked at his words. "Where to? The back mountain?"
"Don't panic, everyone!" Yan Lei took a deep breath, face cold. "Now I solemnly announce something: Due to Yan Zhen's unforgivable mistakes, with the Great Elder's approval, I will assume the position of Family Head. From now on, you all must submit to me!"
Everyone was stunned at this moment of crisis, and he still had time for nonsense?
Whoever the Family Head is, as long as their safety is assured, it doesn't matter!
"Big Brother, answer us, did the three elders go to the back mountain?" Yan Ting pressed on.
"Shut up! As long as you stay around me, there will be no danger, that Jiang cannot hurt you!"
"Jiang?!" Upon hearing this, Yan Ting was terrified. "Big Brother, do you mean the one causing havoc in our Yan Family Castle is Jiang Feng?"
Many of them, although unable to attend the battle personally today, had heard through word of mouth that Guan Hao lost!
And Guan Hao was utterly defeated by Jiang Feng, without any ability to counterattack!
Originally, they were already extremely anxious about this, and now hearing Yan Lei mention Jiang Feng's name, they naturally felt fear, facing a great enemy!
"Why are you so tense? Where is the dignity of the Yan Family? Where is the decorum? Calm down! As long as we unite, no matter how arrogant he is, Jiang will not dare to wipe us out!
Damn it, Big Brother, go to hell! At a time like this, you still pretend to be calm, who gives a damn about you?
"Listen to me, everyone, hurry to the back mountain! The elders made a wise choice; only the two sacrificial officers can protect us now, follow me!" Yan Li completely ignored Yan Ting, shouted loudly, and quickly led his branch of the family rushing towards the back mountain.
"Yan Li, how dare you! Come back to me!" Yan Lei was so angry that he jumped up and down!
"Sorry, Big Brother, with you here holding the fort, we're reassured! Once you confirm it's safe here, send someone to inform us, and we'll come back!" At the critical moment, Yan Li also said a word to Yan Lei before leading his branch of the family, following closely behind Third Brother!
The rest of the people, seeing this, hurriedly followed suit, not leaving a single one behind to heed Yan Lei's call.
"Damn it! A bunch of unreliable things, it's because of you that the Yan Family is scattered like sand, giving others a chance!"
Ten thousand grass mud horses were roaring through Yan Lei's mind, but at that moment, he could do nothing but watch everyone abandon him again.
Just then, they heard hurried footsteps from the front.
A sturdy, bristly-bearded big man, leading over a hundred people, rushed anxiously towards them.
"Qiu Long, you're just in time!"
Yan Lei saw the big man, and his tense heartstrings slightly relaxed a bit, he quickly greeted him.
The strong big man was named Qiu Long, just like Luo Shien before, a trusted aide of Yan Lei, his left and right arm!
At this moment, Qiu Long came to Yan Lei's face, speaking nervously, "Family Head, I heard there are killers in the castle, I gathered everyone to protect you!"
"Well done! You truly are the backbone of the Yan Family, with you here, I fear nothing!" Yan Lei patted Qiu Long's shoulder, heavily praising him.
The people Qiu Long brought were all of Yan Family's strength, hand-picked elites over the years from the city, each with considerable combat power, enough to handle things independently!
Tonight, it was their moment to shine, trained soldiers for a thousand days to use at a critical time!
"Family Head, who attacked the Yan Family at night? Where is that person now?" Qiu Long asked Yan Lei.
"I don't know either! But it is highly probable that it was Jiang Feng! Only he..." Yan Lei's sentence was halfway through when his eyes suddenly widened!
He was staring straight ahead as if he had seen a ghost!
Qiu Long and the others, hearing half of what he said, were puzzled and quickly turned to look where Yan Lei was staring.
On the path leading to the Ancestor Hall, a cold figure, wearing a Death God mask, was calmly walking up the mountain.
"Is that the assassin???" Qiu Long was dumbfounded!
No one expected that an assassin intruding into Yan Family Castle would appear so openly without hiding!
Moreover, right under everyone's nose, walking alone!!!
"That's right! He... he is Jiang Feng!" Yan Lei's face turned pale, trembling all over!
Now, he could be fully sure that Jiang Feng had come for confrontation!
At this moment, he realized just how much fear he had towards Jiang Feng in his heart!
It was as if, in the moonlight, Jiang Feng had truly become a god of death, draped in stars, coming to harvest their lives!!
