When the smoke dissipated, there was only a single figure that had been left standing there.

Naturally it was Jiang Zhi Shu who had won the clash and Jiang Feng was lying on the ground with a hole in his chest.

But Jiang Zhi Shu hadn't been able to get out of this clash completely unharmed. There was actually a hole in his chest as well, but it was much smaller and didn't go all the way through like the hole in Jiang Feng's chest.

The ultimate deciding factor was naturally the spear that Lin Fan had given Jiang Zhi Shu.

Rocky's laws were completely matched by the laws that Jiang Feng had created by sacrificing his own life, so all it came down to was the difference in artifacts they used.

Jiang Feng's spear was only a high Platinum Realm artifact.

While he was a genius of the Jiang Family, he was actually only a second tier genius which meant that he didn't receive the absolute best treatment of the Jiang Family.

On the other hand, Lin Fan's Iron Eater Bone Artifact had been strengthened by his recent trip to the Sacred Rock Realm, which meant that it was even stronger than before. Not to mention that before, it was already an Embryo Soul Realm Artifact.

In the end, there were fragments of Jiang Feng's spear all over the ground and there wasn't a single scratch on the Iron Eater Bone Artifact.

On Jiang Feng's face was a look that was filled with unwillingness as he laid there in a pool of his own blood.

Jiang Zhi Shu just ignored his corpse as he turned to hand the spear back to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan took the spear and called back Rocky before throwing the unconscious Jiang Yu who he had been holding to two of the subordinates on the side as he said, "Take him back."

This Jiang Yu had been quite prudent, setting up several forms of protection for himself, which showed that he was quite cautious. At the same time, he must have been quite smart being able to run the biggest loan shark operation under the Jiang Family.

All of this added up must mean that he would definitely have some important information on the Jiang Family. It would be a waste to kill him now since this was not just a battle of strength, this was also a battle of information and information was the one thing that Lin Fan was lacking.

He might be able to pull up some information like which powers were under the Jiang Family since this was something that was well known because everyone needed to know which forces to avoid, but when it came to actual information on the Jiang Family, he didn't know a thing. That was all because the intelligence network that he wanted to set up in Rock Mountain City was still immature, even though they had come before him to start their set up.

The problem in the end was that he didn't have enough men and funds.

The two subordinates gave Lin Fan a salute before heading off with Jiang Yu.

Once they were gone, Lin Fan's group just waited for a few minutes since there was still the team that was clearing out the building slowly coming up to meet them. It didn't take them long, they only had to wait around five minutes before both of these teams arrived.

They didn't bother reporting at all because they all knew that time was of the essence right now. A member of the main branch of the Jiang Family had been killed, which meant that the Jiang Family must have been stirred right now.

They still had another place to hit before this night raid was over, so it was best that they head there now before the Jiang Family completely swarmed it. Also it would be best if they left this place now because there was certainly a team that would be sent to investigate this place.

The next place that they needed to hit was also an important one.

This Wasp Hive was the main financial subsidiary of the Jiang Family, while the Shark Den they were hitting next were the main muscles.

This was a group that could be considered the secret police of the Jiang Family, suppressing everything that went against the Jiang Family from the shadows.

Naturally to do so, it meant that they had a few powerful members among them. It was said that the leader and the two vice leaders of the Shark Den were all Platinum Realm Experts.

This was the main reason why Lin Fan had been pulled along with this night raid because it was impossible for Jiang Zhi Shu to take care of them all by himself.

As for the appearance of Jiang Feng, that was just icing on top since this was someone that was on Jiang Zhi Shu's must kill list.

But now that Jiang Zhi Shu had been injured by Jiang Feng, the task of eliminating the Shark Den would fall completely on Lin Fan. Still, he had no problem with that since he was confident in his strength.

After they had all gathered, Lin Fan moved to the back of the group while Jiang Zhi Shu quickly led them off without even treating his own wounds.

…

Jiang Manor.

"Crack!"

There was suddenly the sound of jade breaking that rang out in the room that attracted the attention of the person who was sitting there monitoring the wall of jade tokens.

At first that person couldn't believe what had just happened, but then he quickly looked over all the jade tokens, looking for the one that had shattered.

Finally he came to one that had cracked in two with the word "Feng" underneath it and he had to rub his eyes to double check before rushing out of the room.

The two guards who had been at the door were shocked when they saw that person suddenly come out, but when they took a peek inside and saw the broken jade token, they immediately went on guard since they knew this wouldn't be simple.

When the person who had rushed out came back, he was followed by two people.

One was a middle aged man who had a sharp moustache and the other was a handsome young man.

When they came in, they headed over to the jade token that had broken and once they saw the letter under it, they visibly became much calmer.

The middle aged man said, "I was wondering what this fuss was about, but it's just one of the outer juniors."

The handsome young man responded, "Uncle, even if it is an outer, he's still part of the Jiang Family's main branch. If others were to learn of this, it would affect the reputation of the Jiang Family."

The middle aged man stroked his moustache before giving a nod, "You're right nephew, this will affect the reputation of the Jiang Family if this was known. That useless outer, he can't even die a proper death and he has to bring shame to our Jiang Family. Which elder's branch is he a part of?"

The handsome young man just gave a shrug, "How can I remember each outer?" Then he turned to the person who had been in charge of this jade token room and said, "Which branch was he in again?"

That person was taken aback since he never expected to hear this from these people. These jade tokens were all the life jades of the main branch members of the Jiang Family, but these two didn't seem to care at all that one of them had broken.

No it wasn't that they didn't care about the life that was lost, they only cared because of the reputation of the Jiang Family.

That person took a second to come back to his senses before saying, "It was Lord Jiang Feng of the fourth elder's branch."

The middle aged man just waved his hand and said, "It's the fourth elder's branch again. Nephew, you take care of this, you know what to do."

But the handsome young man didn't drop this matter so simply as he said, "Wait, uncle, this doesn't seem that simple."

The middle aged man stopped turning around to leave and turned back to the handsome young man to say, "What do you mean?"

The handsome young man knit his brows as he said, "Something like this is happening just a month before the wedding ceremony, there must be something related to this."

The middle aged man also slightly knit his brows before saying, "No, you're thinking too much. No one knows about that, so there shouldn't be anyone trying to stop this. This should just be one of our rivals trying to hurt us a bit. You remember what happened with the other faction at the Union Government just a few days ago."

But the handsome young man wouldn't drop it as he said, "But what if it was Jiang Zhi Shu?"

This time the middle aged man didn't refute the handsome young man as he knit his brows in thought. After a while, he said, "Maybe, but are you certain?"

The handsome young man gave a nod as he said, "I don't know why, but I just have a feeling it's him."

The middle aged man then said, "Qi Tai, it's your wedding ceremony, so you should be the one to take care of this."

The handsome young man who had been called Qi Tai gave a nod before saying, "Then can I move the Law Enforcers?"

p The middle aged man hesitated a bit before saying with a sigh, "Qi Tai, you'll be in charge of the Jiang Family in the future. You have the rights to move whatever you want, but remember that you have to do things thoroughly."

The handsome young man gave a nod before saying, "Yes uncle, thank you."

This handsome young man's name was Jiang Qi Tai, he was Jiang Zhi Shu's brother and the man who was marrying Yuan Xiang Qin in just over a month from now.
