Chapter 615 - 275: Him? Just a Bootlicker.

However, Fang Qingyu did not descend from the sky.

This battlefield at the City Lord’s Mansion was blocked with their bodies by Jiang Chengyue and his men.

So Fang Qingyu had no intention of going down, only nodding slightly from afar in the sky.

Then he turned his head to look at Jiang Ying, who appeared silently beside him.

The head of the Jiang Family, as always, hovered barefoot in the air, her white robe elegant and her demeanor gentle and calm.

"I’m off now, City Lord Jiang."

Fang Qingyu’s voice carried calmly through the hum of Shenxiao.

The closure of matters in Glazed Light City would have to be personally handled by this Family Head. Those of Tier Three and above, Jiang Ying had already killed them all, only the remaining poisonous vermin in the city...

It was time to bring an end to the sins of the Jiang Family over the past decades.

Jiang Ying nodded gracefully.

As her voice fell.

The dark gold divine thunder around Fang Qingyu surged again, and his figure transformed into a dazzling golden lightning, tearing through the sky in an instant, disappearing towards the direction of the Great Wall in the north.

At the same time.

Jiang Ying’s figure, like a falling snowflake, began to silently descend.

No dazzling light and shadow, no imposing aura.

But as she descended, it was like a magnet instantly attracting the gaze of everyone in Glazed Light City!

"It...it’s the Family Head!"

"Master Jiang Ying has returned?!"

"She...she’s back from outside! With that...the one who left the severed head!"

The gaze of the entire city, whether in work, on the street, or peeping from behind windows, focused uniformly in the direction of the City Lord’s Mansion.

Countless whispers spread like a tide in every corner of the city.

"What exactly happened at the City Lord’s Mansion?"

"Ancestor Jiang Taixuan... really... is dead? That head..."

"The Family Head returns in person... is this a change of heaven?"

Exclamations, discussions, questions, faint excitement, all wove into an enormous din.

Jiang Ying’s figure finally landed on the main road leading from the City Lord’s Mansion to the city.

The position was precisely at the edge of the pit made by that severed head.

It was also in front of Jiang Hongyuan, kneeling like mud on the ground.

Her bare feet lightly touched the bloodstained crystal stone ground, her white robe unstained, forming an extremely stark contrast with the surrounding bloody mess.

Jiang Hongyuan seemed finally awakened by this close arrival, lifted his head suddenly, tears and snot streaming mixed with blood and hopeless squalor.

As if grabbing the last straw for survival.

Regardless of everything, he crawled and stumbled to Jiang Ying’s feet, wailing with a heart-rending cry:

"Family Head! Family Head!!! The Ancestor is dead! The Ancestor was... was killed!!!"

He kept repeating this sentence, his forehead knocking heavily on the cold ground, making a thumping dull sound, as if trying to knock out all his fear and pleas, "You must avenge the Ancestor! You must..."

"I know."

Jiang Ying’s calm voice interrupted his hysterical wails, ringing out clearly.

The voice was not loud, yet it seemed to contain some strange magic, instantly outshining all the noise on the square, even penetrating the walls of the City Lord’s Mansion, echoing clearly in everyone’s ears in the nearby streets!

"But he deserved it."

Three words, like three ice cones, struck fiercely into Jiang Hongyuan’s heart, and also into the hearts of all the Glazed Light City citizens with ears pricked to listen.

Jiang Hongyuan’s cries cut off abruptly.

He jerked his head up, his face mixed with snot, tears, and grimy blood, filled with utmost shock and disbelief: "Fa...Family Head?! What... what are you saying?! The Ancestor, he... he was so good to you when you were a child... Don’t you remember?! He always devoted himself to the Jiang Family, protecting Glazed Light City for so many years... How can you say he..."

"Devotion?"

Jiang Ying slightly bent down, her clear and deep eyes, now like an eternal icy pool, coldly peering at Jiang Hongyuan, her voice suddenly rising. This time, it didn’t only echo in nearby streets but spread instantly to every corner of Glazed Light City like an invisible ripple.

"Being single-hearted to the Jiang Family means he could drink human blood and eat human flesh just to stay alive?!!"

Boom—!!!

The entire Glazed Light City, as if a bomb had been thrown in.

The whole city was instantly plunged into a deathly silence of shock.

After a brief deathly silence, erupted an even more surging clamour.

"Wh...what?! Drink human blood? Eat human flesh?!"

"Who?! Who is the City Lord talking about?!"

"Ancestor Jiang Taixuan?! How...how is that possible?!"

"Oh my...what did I just hear..."

"No wonder... no wonder in recent years... so many grandmasters disappeared inexplicably... severely injured and untreated..."

"My brother... My brother took a city defense mission three years ago and never came back... They said he encountered Life Ghost elites... no remains... Could it be... could it be..."

Countless uninformed citizens discussed in shock and confusion, their voices converging into a massive wave of sound.

Those vaguely aware of the truth or having been deeply affected, clutched their mouths tightly, tears silently rolling down as the long-repressed grief and despair finally found an outlet.

On the City Lord’s Mansion Square, those who silently withdrew from the battle midway, anxiously standing at the edge, turned pale instantly, their bodies uncontrollably trembling.

Jiang Ying ignored the uproar of the city; her gaze, like a cold blade, fixed on Jiang Hongyuan’s face distorted by fright.

"Answer me!!"

A shout of anger, like a thunderous explosion, erupted in the depths of Jiang Hongyuan’s mind.
