"Please have mercy, Third Elder! Let my sister go!"
In Jiangjia Town, outside an old courtyard, a young man in black was kneeling on the ground, kowtowed to a middle-aged man, begging bitterly.
The young man was called Jiang Han, a member of the Jiang clan.
He had just returned from hunting outside in the afternoon when he heard the bad news - the third elder of the clan forcibly took his sister Jiang Li away.
It was because Han Shiqi, a big shot in Yunmeng Pavilion, had taken a fancy to Jiang Li and wanted to take her as a concubine, and would marry her in half a month.
This news was like a bolt from the blue, and Jiang Han almost fainted on the spot after hearing it.
Six years ago, Jiang Han's parents disappeared mysteriously, leaving him and his sister Jiang Li to depend on each other. In his world, Jiang Li was everything.
Now the third elder wanted to force Jiang Li to marry out, and to be a concubine to an old man over fifty years old. How could he agree?
The most infuriating thing was that Jiang Li was only eleven years old this year, still a half-grown child.
"Brother, brother!"
The door of the inner room was opened, and a pretty little girl rushed out crying.
After running a few steps, a middle-aged woman ran out of the house and roughly dragged the little girl back into the house. Then there was a crisp slap and the little girl crying.
"Jiang Li!"
Seeing this scene, Jiang Han's eyes were bloodshot and he stood up to rush in. But the third elder in front of him glanced coldly, and he suppressed his anger and stood back.
"Jiang Han!"
The third elder was about 40 years old, dressed in brocade, with a burly figure. There was a centipede-like scar on his left face, which looked hideous and terrifying.
He looked at Jiang Han and said indifferently: "Have you had enough trouble? Jiang Li's matter is the decision of the family elders' hall, which cannot be changed. If you keep making trouble, don't blame the family law for being ruthless!"
"Elders' Hall?"
Hearing the words of the third elder, Jiang Han pursed his lips tightly and almost bit his teeth.
Is this bullying him because he is young and ignorant?
The head of the Jiang family has been in seclusion for half a year, and the eldest elder has been bedridden for more than a month. It is said that he will not be able to hold on for much longer. The second elder is far away in Yunmeng City, and the third elder is the only one left in the elders' hall.
The decision of the elders' hall?
This is clearly the idea of the third elder alone.
Looking at the cold face of the third elder, Jiang Han gritted his teeth and said: "Third elder, my sister is still so young, just spare her. I know you have a grudge with my father. If you have anything, just come to me. Let Jiang Li go!"
Jiang Han didn't know much about the grudge between the third elder and his father.
He only knew that his father was a rare genius warrior in the Jiang family. He reached the fourth level of the Xuanyou realm at the age of 30. His combat power was only second to the eldest elder of the clan, and he was the best among his peers.
It seems that the clan leader promoted his father to the captain of the hunting team. At that time, many peers in the clan were dissatisfied, so there were several conflicts.
The scar on the face of the third elder that has been with him for more than ten years-it is said that it was left by his father.
"How dare you!" The scar on the Third Elder's face trembled, and he was furious. He raised his hand and slapped Jiang Han's face. Jiang Han instinctively raised his arm to block, but the Third Elder's move was too fast. He was slapped hard, and his body flew backwards and fell heavily on the ground two feet away. Wow! Jiang Han struggled to get up, his head was dizzy, his internal organs were piercing, and he spit out a mouthful of blood. "You dare to say such nonsense!" The Third Elder looked at Jiang Han coldly and shouted sternly: "This matter is a foregone conclusion, and no one can change it. Lord Han will come to Jiangjia Town in half a month. During this time, you'd better be honest. If you dare to mess around, I will kill you with my own hands." "Also, Jiang Li is Lord Han's man in life and Lord Han's ghost in death. Even if he dies, his body will be sent to Yunmeng City!" "Jiang Long!" The Third Elder turned his head and shouted in a low voice. Not far away, a thin young man strode forward. He glanced at Jiang Han casually, his eyes full of sarcasm, and said with a slight smile: "Uncle San, what do you want?"
"From today on, you will take people to guard here day and night!"
The third elder said with his hands behind his back: "Jiang Li must not step out of the yard in the next half month. If Jiang Han dares to mess around...you will deal with him according to the clan rules!"
"Yes, Uncle San!"
Jiang Long is the nephew of the third elder, so the third elder is naturally 100% assured. He glanced at Jiang Han coldly again, turned around and strode away.
Looking at the back of the third elder going away, Jiang Han's heart sank to the bottom, and his face was full of despair.
Although they belong to the same Jiang family, Jiang Han's lineage has been passed down for three generations. After their parents disappeared, the two brothers and sisters were helpless in Jiangjia Town. He had no channels to obtain the resources of the Jiang family for training, his skills were low, and he had no status in the clan.
Although the Jiang family has many masters, it is just that the lineage of the third elder is very domineering and strong in the clan, and no one dares to stand up for him.
Purple Mansion Realm, Mysterious Nether Realm, Mountain and Sea Realm... Each realm is divided into nine levels.
Jiang Han is only at the fifth level of Purple Mansion Realm. Not to mention the third elder who is at the third level of Mysterious Nether Realm, Jiang Long in front of him is at the ninth level of Purple Mansion Realm.
There is a difference of four levels between the two, and he is far from being Jiang Long's opponent.
If he forcibly rushes in and takes Jiang Li away, there will be only one outcome - he will be beaten to death by Jiang Long.
"Jiang Xiaotian, you are taking revenge for your personal grudge, you will not die well!"
Jiang Han gritted his teeth and said hatefully in his heart.
The third elder Jiang Xiaotian had a private grudge with his father, and this time it was obviously a malicious revenge.
Jiang Li has never left Jiangjia Town since she was a child. How could Han Shiqi know her far away in Yunmeng City? It must be that Jiang Xiaotian deliberately gave Jiang Li to Han Shiqi as a concubine.
In this way, he can not only avenge the old grudge, but also curry favor with the big shots of Yunmeng Pavilion, which is a good plan.
"Go back first!"
After standing there in a daze for a while, Jiang Han forced himself to calm down, and walked slowly towards his own courtyard while enduring the pain.
At this time, many Jiang clan members who passed by mostly looked at him with sympathy. But no one came to talk to him. In the Jiang family elders' hall, he was the king, and no one dared to disobey him.
Returning to his own courtyard in a daze, Jiang Han sat on the chair like a sculpture.
After sitting for an hour, no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't come up with any good way to escape.
If he wanted to escape with Jiang Li, his comprehensive combat power had to reach at least the ninth level of the Purple Mansion Realm, otherwise he wouldn't be able to pass Jiang Long's level. He practiced for six years to barely reach the fifth level of the Purple Mansion Realm. How could he reach the ninth level of the Purple Mansion Realm in half a month?
If he stayed, he could only watch Jiang Li being sent to Yunmeng Pavilion, being molested and humiliated by an old pervert, and his life would be worse than death...
"Is there no way out?"
Jiang Han murmured in despair, his hand involuntarily tightly grasping a tripod-shaped jade pendant on his chest, which was the only thing his mother left him.
He looked out the window and murmured in confusion: "Dad, Mom, where did you go? Are you dead or alive? What should I do? What should I do!"
Snap!
Perhaps because of the excitement and excessive force, the tripod-shaped jade pendant was crushed by Jiang Han.
Suddenly!
The tripod-shaped jade pendant burst into a dazzling light, instantly illuminating the whole room.
"Huh? This..."
Jiang Han was startled, looked down, and his eyes were a little confused. Although the tripod-shaped jade pendant was crushed by him, there was no residue left.
He had nothing in his hands, and the tripod-shaped jade pendant disappeared strangely...
