Chapter 2239 The First Thing to Do Before Upgrading!
A document from the Elders' Council caused a stir in the martial arts world.
The Tang family transformed itself into the fifth major family, standing on equal footing with the four major families.
Moreover, they took away half of the Jiang family's power.
Everyone knew that this was a suppression and weakening of the Jiang family.
For no other reason than that the Jiang family and the Yanzhao Sect, or more precisely, Lu Chengwen, are already one family.
Jiang Yuanshu was injured by Shan Jianqing and almost miscarried, which angered Jiang Shang.
Jiang Shang has now made it clear that he will not give the Elders' Council any face and will protect Lu Chengwen at all costs.
The old dean of the Elders' Council died suddenly and mysteriously. The Grand Dean, Song Shengchao, announced that it was due to an old injury aggravated by a battle with the Yanzhao Sect.
Now, the Elders' Council wants to kill the three heroes of the Yanzhao Sect; the Jiang family wants to protect Lu Chengwen, and this conflict arises.
If the Jiang family is wiped out directly, they will inevitably launch a fierce counterattack.
This powerful family has been operating for so long and has such a deep foundation that even the Council of Elders is not confident that it can be suppressed in one go.
Therefore, this method came into being.
On the surface, they were all saying nice things, saying that the Jiang family had too heavy a burden; that the existing structure was too outdated and couldn't keep up with the times, so they needed to introduce new forces and families to assist in management; and that the Tang family had been performing very well recently and could share a lot of the specific work with the four major families...
Thus, the Tang family was brought out and truly transformed into a top-tier family.
The Jiang family was awarded an extremely high, but ultimately meaningless, honor in recognition of their years of dedication and hard work.
The Jiang family couldn't afford to openly challenge the Elders' Council; no one would support them.
There are plenty of other families waiting to rise to power, and the four major families will not betray the Elder Council for the sake of the Jiang family.
Therefore, we can only endure it.
But everyone knew that this was just the beginning.
If the Jiang family loses half of its power, it will soon lose half of its influence and appeal.
Once the Jiang family's assets shrink by half, things will be much easier to manage.
If the Jiang family's strength is cut in half again, their ability to retaliate will be reduced to half.
In this way, it won't take long; after three rounds, the Jiang family will probably only have their own family's strength left as their trump card.
At that time... if the Elders' Council comes to clear the area again, the Jiang family will be left isolated and helpless.
Jiang Shang knew, Jiang Shang understood, Jiang Shang saw through it all, but there was nothing he could do.
We have no choice but to accept reality.
The Jiang family was shrouded in an atmosphere of extreme depression. The servants and disciples all knew that the Jiang family's decline had begun.
This move not only weakened the Jiang family, but also served as a warning to the other three families.
In order to elevate the Tang family, the Elders' Council held a special ceremony to establish their status.
Invitations were sent to the four major families and many other prominent clans. The Tang family enjoyed unparalleled prestige for a time.
……
The "Yanzhao Gate" incident.
After an unknown number of days, Zhao Ritian was the first to break out of the illusion!
When he emerged from the illusion, he immediately felt that his beard had grown out, covering his entire chin.
Zhao Ritian had a thick, bushy beard, much like Li Kui.
But he didn't care and laughed heartily.
He clenched his fist: "The Four Gates of Gods! Hahahaha! How many people in the world have the opportunity to enter the Four Gates of Gods? Hmm!? Only me! Wahahahaha!"
"The key to courage! I'll be a god from now on! Hahahaha!"
"Um!?"
Zhao Ritian suddenly turned his head and looked to the side.
Long Aotian suddenly emerged from the space.
Indeed, he staggered a couple of steps, and just as he regained his footing, his beard and hair grew out.
He looked around and exhaled.
Looking at his palm, he grinned smugly.
At this moment, Zhao Ritian walked over, chin raised, extremely impolite and arrogant, addressing him like a father calling his son: "Long Aotian!"
Long Aotian immediately sensed something was off about this person's tone; he thought, "This guy is so arrogant."
She turned to look at him and said, "Damn, what's wrong with you?"
Zhao Ritian scoffed and slapped Long Aotian across the face, sending him sprawling back half a step. Long Aotian clutched his face and roared, "Are you fucking crazy?!"
Zhao Ritian laughed heartily: "I'll show you what I'm capable of!"
Long Aotian roared, "I'm warning you! Don't go looking for trouble, or I'll make you regret it! I'm your senior brother, you idiot, you big moron."
Zhao Ritian glared at him: "Master gave orders that I beat you up when he's not around! From now on, you're under my jurisdiction. The entire Yanzhao Sect is under my jurisdiction!"
Long Aotian was so angry he laughed, and pulled Zhao Ritian along, saying, "Ritian, come here."
"What are you doing? Stop pulling and tugging."
Come here!
"Hmph, sycophant."
"Come here, look here."
"What?! It's just a small pit!"
"Yes, you piss in it."
"Why are you peeing?"
"Look at yourself, what makes you capable of managing the entire Yanzha Gate?"
"Hey you fucking, are you looking for a beating?!"
Long Aotian kicked Zhao Ritian in the butt: "From now on, you only recognize me as your senior brother! If you ever act cocky again, I can kill you with a single finger!"
Zhao Ritian rubbed his buttocks: "You have no idea what kind of power I have today, do you?"
"Ha, strength?"
Long Aotian clenched his fist: "Let me tell you, in the Yanzhao Sect, I am the senior brother! With Master away, everyone in the Yanzhao Sect has to listen to me! I used to be lenient with you because you were half-witted, but now... I can crush you with one hand!"
Zhao Ritian roared, "Looks like I'll have to teach you a lesson!"
Long Aotian narrowed his eyes: "It's time to set some rules for you little brats."
"The benevolent return to their divine form! Open!"
"Wang Ba Rebel God! Open!"
boom!
The two exchanged a single blow, then both were stunned: "You're from the Fourth Gate of the Divine Realm!?"
Zhao Ritian shouted, "Ninja Turtles, the Courage Mantra! Drink!"
Long Aotian was shocked and quickly shouted, "King Overlord Reversal God, Overlord Technique! Roar!"
The two exchanged blows for a while, and finally both managed to seize each other's pulse points.
Enduring the pain, Long Aotian grinned maliciously: "Junior brother, you're still far from being able to fight your senior brother!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ritian tightened his grip, causing Long Aotian to gasp in pain.
"Heh heh, you shit-spraying dragon! You think you can boss me around? Have I ever acknowledged your status as the senior brother?!"
Long Aotian gritted his teeth and tightened his grip, causing Zhao Ritian to see stars from the pain.
"Junior brother, are you unable to hold back any longer? If you can't, just say so, and your senior brother will take care of you! Hmm!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ritian tightened his grip again, causing Long Aotian to nearly roll his eyes in pain.
"Master... Shit-spitting Dragon, I think you're the one who's about to lose it, aren't you? Beg for mercy and I'll let you go, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Long Aotian tightened his grip again, causing Zhao Ritian to drool in pain.
"You let go first to show your sincerity!"
Zhao Ritian exerted force again: "Let go first, then I'll let go!"
Long Aotian strained: "If you let go, I'll let go!"
Zhao Ritian strained: "If you don't let go, I won't let go!"
Long Aotian spat out: "Don't try to hold on."
Zhao Ritian rolled his eyes: "You're the one faking it."
Long Aotian's body went limp, and he whispered, "I don't... feel any pain at all..."
Zhao Ritian slowly collapsed, saying, "I...don't...feel anything..."
The Earthly Fiend looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression. Finally, they both fell to the ground, kicking their legs, spitting, and rolling their eyes, but still wouldn't let go.
"Won't people laugh at me if I go to the Tang Sect like this?"
