Chapter 1306 1306: Sudden Death!
Capital City, Lian Family Mansion.
Nobody knew why, but with the constant stream of bad news lately, the entire Lian family seemed to be shrouded in a cloud of gloom and haze.
Despite the return of the Pig King bringing a glimmer of hope to the family's people, this hope was accompanied by various unease and worries.
Especially now, as it had been half a day since the Pig King headed out, yet there was still no word from Jiangdong, as if the news had sunk into oblivion without a trace of good news.
Sometimes, Lian Yaotang truly hated!
He really shouldn't have let his son provoke Jiang Feng, that outsider, otherwise the family wouldn't be in such an anxious state now, riddled with infamy, the family broken, and people dead!
But the grudge between both sides was already established, and with both of his sons dead, this hatred and enmity could never be erased.
"Family Head, it's time for your medicine..."
As Lian Yaotang lay sideways on the sickbed, complaining to the heavens and others, a servant respectfully brought in Chinese medicine.
"Take it away, I won't drink it!"
Lian Yaotang waved his hand, as he had no leisure to drink medicine now. This was fundamentally caused by heartache!
If the Pig King truly resolved everything in Jiangdong, he would immediately recover, but if the Pig King also failed, even immortal elixirs would be of no help.
"Family Head, the doctor advised that you shouldn't miss a single dose..." the servant cautiously said.
"I told you to get lost! Did you not hear?!" Lian Yaotang shouted angrily, his face full of impatience!
Helpless, the servant had to quickly leave with the bowl of medicine.
Seeing this, the core family members in the other bedrooms quickly gathered around to comfort him, "Family Head, this won't do, no matter what, you must take your medicine, or your health will only deteriorate..."
"I'm currently suffering from anxiety-induced illness, how could I have the mood to drink? The Lian family's heritage handed down for so many years is now ruined in my hands, even if the Pig King turns the tide, it wouldn't be glorious, let alone if something unexpected happens..."
Lian Yaotang's face was full of bitterness when suddenly, another servant rushed in from outside, stumbling to the ground, his face full of terror, "Report! Family Head, there is terrible news!"
"What... what happened now?!
Lian Yaotang now feared hearing bad news the most and hurriedly pushed aside those gathered around the sickbed, glaring at the servant.
"According to the latest news from Jiangdong, Lord Pig King, he... he..."
The servant was terrified to death, his voice trembling.
"What happened to the Pig King? Speak quickly!" Lian Yaotang shouted urgently.
"Lord Pig King has also died in the Provincial City of Jiangdong!"
The servant was tormented, "He reportedly infiltrated the Baili Family's Mountain Manor and was beaten to death! The Baili Family declared that if the Lian family did not retreat in recognition of the difficulty, they would be erased from the Chinese land..."
"Ugh!!!"
Hearing this, Lian Yaotang spewed a mouthful of blood on the spot!
His greatest fear had been realized; the Pig King failed too!!!
The strongest Second Tributor of the entire Lian family, a master of the Absolute Peak Seventh Level, had also perished in Jiangdong in just half a day!!
"Family Head, take care!!!"
"Don't let anger cloud your heart!!"
Seeing this, the core members of the Lian family were terrified and quickly stepped forward to tend to Lian Yaotang.
"This is heaven wanting to destroy my Lian family, heavens want me dead!!!"
Lian Yaotang's face twisted, his voice was like a cuckoo weeping blood and a gibbon mourning, as if the tide had turned completely against him.
"Family Head, don't be agitated. Our Lian family is not finished yet. Isn't there still the Great Sacrificial Officer Dongfang Chi? At this point, we can't worry too much, bring him back, only then can we pull the situation back!"
An elder quickly said.
"It's too late! Lian family is already severely damaged, its reputation irreparable, I'm ashamed of my ancestors... ashamed of the foundation of the Lian family's heritage, I... I..."
Lian Yaotang despairingly wanted to say something more, but he suddenly couldn't catch his breath, staring wide-eyed, he fell straight down and died suddenly!
"Family Head!!!!"
The family members of the Lian family burst into cries of grief as if they had lost their parents!
They never expected Lian Yaotang to die from anger!!
A pillar of the Lian family crumbled just like that!
...
Afternoon.
The news of Lian Yaotang's sudden death at home quickly spread to Jiangdong, reaching the Baili Family's Mountain Manor.
Both Baili Xi and Bai Touying were extremely shocked upon hearing it!
They anticipated that with the repeated setbacks of the Lian family, Lian Yaotang would definitely be furious.
But they never expected him to be literally angered to death!
Thus, the crisis coming from the Lin Family of Beijing was temporarily lifted, as the sudden death of its pillar would inevitably spark internal power struggles within the Lian family, and even if a new heir ascended, it would trigger a reshuffling of clan authority.
The Lian family would become chaotic within itself, not to mention having the strength to send people against Jiangdong again.
"Kid, you've really made history, a 'nobody' from a local area actually forced a family head from the Capital City to death!"
Baili Xi personally came to Jiang Feng's room, smiling as he said, "In my opinion, Lian Yaotang wasn't angered to death; he died of collapse! He's probably in utter despair in the underworld."
Jiang Feng was packing his things, and hearing this, he just shrugged.
He also felt that the Lian family was just pathetic, too weak.
He thought Lian Yaotang would send in the ultimate trump card, but who knew the old man would die first, in the end, a seemingly fierce confrontation turned into empty threats.
"Young Master Feng, are you leaving?"
Bai Touying saw Jiang Feng's intentions and immediately asked.
"Yes."
Jiang Feng nodded, "The Lian family is now occupied with its troubles, even if they want to take revenge on Jiangdong, it'll take a few days. I can't afford to waste time with them. You should still keep a close watch on the Capital City's news. Notify me as soon as there's any movement."
Although Baili Xi and Bai Touying were reluctant to let Jiang Feng leave, they understood that Jiang Feng's home wasn't here. Binhai was his place of belonging, and it wasn't right to force him to stay.
"Alright then, Young Master Feng, you've done a lot for the Baili Family, all of your protection is seen by us. Remember one thing, in Jiangdong, just say the word, and the Baili Family will do everything in their power to assist you, especially me, Bai Touying, I'm always ready to go through fire and water for you!" Bai Touying sincerely told Jiang Feng.
"Got it."
Jiang Feng smiled, picked up his phone and other items, and directly prepared to leave.
Behind him, Baili Xiyue, no needless to say, naturally followed behind him, ostensibly considering herself as Jiang Feng's partner.
"Kid, remember, this place is also your home! Next time you come to the Provincial City, you have a place to stay. Don't forget to come see this old man when you have time, and—treat my granddaughter well!" Baili Xi also reminded Jiang Feng.
"Grandpa~"
Baili Xiyue blushed, playfully rolling her eyes at her grandfather, but her tone was unusually sweet.
Jiang Feng was helpless; from today, he practically couldn't "shake off" this woman, Baili Xiyue. So, under the gaze of the two most powerful elders in the Provincial City, he left with Baili Xiyue.
