Jin Ming is dead.
His death was a bitter one; as he was betrayed by his own kin.
Not long after the Lingyue Sect sealed off Jinxiu City, Jin Xian, Jin Ming's own elder brother, unable to bear the immense pressure, surreptitiously pledged allegiance to the Lingyue Sect out of despair. He swore an oath with his primordial spirit to never betray the Lingyue Sect.
In Jin Xian's view, Lu Tianming had practically no chance of survival; his death was inevitable!
Jin Xian, as the legitimate eldest son of the Jin family who was nearing fifty, had always kept a low profile, rarely having feuds with others. Though he was not well-known outside the family, within the Jin family, his status was very high. During Jin Dongnan's era of ruling the Jin family, Jin Xian, as the successor, had diligently assisted his father in handling various matters. He was Jin Dongnan's most trusted right-hand man.
