Chapter 160: Wiping Out the Liu Clan in an Instant

“Even Kaipeng of the Cloud Condensation Realm was no match for the villain Jiang Xincheng, so sending other clan members over would be useless. The only way we can kill the despicable scoundrel Jiang Xincheng now is to wait for him to come to us.”

“We need to capture his parents and siblings, bring them to Hetang County, and set up a trap. Then we can lure the villain Jiang Xincheng over here. We will tear him into pieces first, then kill his entire family, to avenge the descendants of our Liu Clan.”

Liu Juwei said with a fierce expression. The senior members of the Liu Clan in the meeting room all responded loudly.

“Great plan, Clan Leader. I will personally go tomorrow to bring the beast Jiang Xincheng’s parents and sister here. I heard his sister is quite pretty—we definitely shouldn’t just kill her right away.”

“Jiang Xincheng has harmed so many good sons and daughters of our Liu Clan. We must grind his bones to dust and cut his family into a thousand pieces, so we can avenge the children of our Liu Clan.”

“Kill Jiang Xincheng, we must kill Jiang Xincheng, wipe out his entire family. Even his relatives and friends cannot be spared. Shengnan, my Shengnan was tortured to death by him—I want to torture him, his parents, and his sister to death too.”

…

The senior members of the Liu Clan in the meeting room sounded like howling ghosts. They discussed how to torture and kill Jiang Xincheng and his parents and sister, to avenge Liu Yijun, Liu Yifeng, Bai Zhong, and others. Hearing this, Jiang Xincheng’s face twisted with rage. He wanted to jump down immediately and chop all these bastards of the Liu Clan into pieces.

However, with decades of life experience from his previous life, Jiang Xincheng had strong self-control. He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, turned, and left the meeting room. He searched the entire villa for evidence of the Liu Clan members’ crimes.

Murder, arson, assault, land seizure… Jiang Xincheng collected pieces of evidence about the Liu Clan’s crimes one by one. By midnight, he had gathered over a thousand pieces of evidence, covering more than ninety percent of the Liu Clan’s members.

Jiang Xincheng sent all this evidence to the Flourishing Tang Empire. Because the evidence was solid and detailed, within just half an hour, the Flourishing Tang Empire confirmed its authenticity. They immediately issued Jiang Xincheng a four-star mission to eliminate the Liu Clan, a malignant tumor.

6 o’clock in the morning, Purple Cauldron Garden.

Liu Zhengye, a leading second-generation member of the Liu Clan, who had attended the meeting until after 3 a.m. and had only rested for about three hours, walked outside with a fierce look, accompanied by his pretty secretary. He planned to gather several clan members to capture Jiang Xincheng’s parents and sister alive.

But as he reached the entrance, he noticed something wrong. The gates of Purple Cauldron Garden were wide open, and the guards were nowhere to be seen. Not just the guards—Liu Zhengye suddenly realized he hadn’t seen a single patrolling guard the entire way.

What was going on?

Just as Liu Zhengye was wondering, several Primordial Warriors at the peak of Bone Training Realm’s late stage rushed in from outside. He turned to run, but his strength was only at the Bone Training Realm’s mid-stage. How could he outrun these experienced Primordial Warriors at the peak of late stage?

After running only a few dozen meters, Liu Zhengye was captured alive by these peak late-stage Bone Training Realm Primordial Warriors. At the same time, around the high walls of Purple Cauldron Garden, dozens of Flourishing Tang Empire members, leading nearly a thousand well-trained elite soldiers, stormed into Purple Cauldron Garden.

Once inside Purple Cauldron Garden, these Sheng Tang Empire members split into more than a dozen teams, each leading dozens to hundreds of elite soldiers, surrounding eighteen villas.

At that moment, Jiang Xincheng stepped into Purple Cauldron Garden. He leaped up and stood on the large stone statue at the entrance, looking out at the chaos unfolding in Purple Cauldron Garden.

Facing the attack by numerous Bone Training Realm experts from the Flourishing Tang Empire, plus the support of nearly a thousand elite soldiers armed with modern guns, the Liu Clan members in Purple Cauldron Garden had no chance to resist. Soon, they were either captured or killed on the spot.

In about an hour, all the Liu Clan members were brought before Jiang Xincheng. Many were injured, and some even had their martial arts skills destroyed, their faces full of hatred.

“It’s you!”

Seeing Jiang Xincheng standing on the stone statue, Liu Juwei cried out in shock, “Jiang Xincheng, you villain! What you’re doing is illegal! The Flourishing Tang Empire won’t let you get away with this, and neither will the Shenxia Alliance!”

Ignoring Liu Juwei’s frantic shouts, Jiang Xincheng smiled and looked at the captured senior members of the Liu Clan and their families. “Did you have a good discussion last night? You even talked about how to deal with me and my family. I remember every torture method you suggested. Later, when you enter prison, whoever suggested a punishment will get to experience it themselves.”

After he spoke, the senior members of the Liu Clan turned pale with terror.

“You eavesdropped on our meeting last night? When did you get here?”

“You killed so many of our clan members. Of course we would say some angry words about dealing with you during the meeting. That’s not a crime! What right do you have to arrest us? Even if you’re a member of the Flourishing Tang Empire, you have no authority to arrest us.”

“Jiang Xincheng, I am the deputy head of the Administrative Department in Hetang County, a fifth-level official! Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to arrest me?”

…

Looking at the still defiant Liu Clan members, Jiang Xincheng gave a faint smile. “After you went back last night, didn’t you check your belongings? Didn’t you notice anything missing?”

“Missing what?”

The Liu Clan seniors froze momentarily before Liu Juwei gasped in horror, “You… you took all the documents we kept at home?”

Jiang Xincheng nodded with a smile, a cold glint in his eyes. “Smart as ever, Elder Liu. Those documents are now in the evidence vault of the Flourishing Tang Empire, as well as with the heads of the Department of Public Security and the Wu’an Department in Hetang County. I never imagined your Liu Clan was so wicked—even teenagers have learned to kill and set fires. Over the years, no fewer than eight hundred, maybe a thousand, people have died at the hands of your Liu Clan. Almost every member of the Liu Clan has committed murder. What a fine clan indeed.”

“You… you…” Liu Juwei’s face turned as pale as paper. He pointed at Jiang Xincheng but couldn’t speak, staggering back a few steps before collapsing to the ground, gasping for breath.

“Elder! Elder, what’s wrong? Don’t do this—the Liu Clan still needs you to save us!”

“Get the medicine, quickly get the medicine! The elder is having another attack! Hurry and give him his medicine, or it’ll be too late!”

…

The Liu Clan members fell into chaos, wanting to help Liu Juwei but held in place by the Flourishing Tang Empire members. Jiang Xincheng waved his hand. “Let one of them get the medicine. Liu Juwei can’t die just yet.”

After Liu Juwei was revived, Jiang Xincheng turned to leave. “Take all of them into custody. Send them to the Department of Public Security or the Flourishing Tang Empire prisons, depending on the severity of their crimes. Treat them well and wait for me to come. As for the Liu Clan’s assets, leave them where they are for now. I’m short on funds and could use some.”

The Flourishing Tang Empire did not forbid its members from seizing wealth during missions; in fact, the rules were quite lenient. As long as one didn’t go too far, it was acceptable for Empire members to acquire some wealth for themselves while completing tasks. That’s why Jiang Xincheng dared to speak so openly about taking the Liu Clan’s wealth.
