"Jiang Qin, what are you doing? Let go of Brother Tao right now!"

"Brother Tao just wanted to spar with you, don't frame him! How could he possibly want to kill you? Murder in the capital is illegal, and so is the Jiang family rule: killing an innocent member of the same clan results in having one's meridians severed and being expelled from the family!"

"If you don't let go of Brother Tao, we'll have to take action!"

"Even if you are the young clan leader, you will be punished for treating your fellow clansmen this way!"

Seeing their leader captured in a single move, Jiang Tao's underlings couldn't sit still. They were all on the same side as Jiang Tao, and if something happened to him, their lives in the clan wouldn't be good in the future.

In comparison.

Jiang Qin, the young clan leader who had no foundation within the clan, was not enough to make them fear him.

However, at this moment, Jiang Qin's gaze was directed towards a certain direction outside the door.

A group of figures several hundred meters away saw this.

They stopped hiding and appeared in the front yard of the Jiang family mansion.

There were five people in total, all of them possessing considerable strength. They were all dressed in the uniforms of the Spirit Suppression Bureau, and their eyes, which concealed a sharp edge and a calm demeanor honed by experience, proved their extensive knowledge.

Their appearance deterred the Jiang family members from making any further moves.

This is in the capital city, at the headquarters of the Spirit Suppression Bureau.

It's not like it is in other base cities.

If you dare to cause trouble openly, even if you have powerful backing, you will be severely punished!

"Why are people from the Suppressing Spirits Bureau here?"

"I don't know, let's wait and see. Anyway, we haven't done anything, so they can't do anything to us."

They were talking in hushed tones.

The square-faced man at the head of the group bowed slightly to Jiang Qin.

"Commander Jiang, my name is Fang Hong."

"We have received orders from Director Cao to follow you from today onwards, as your direct subordinates."

The commander-in-chief always needs some manpower to manage, but Cao Hai knew that Jiang Qin didn't like having too many people around him, so he carefully selected five people, all of whom were elites from headquarters who had been through many battles.

These five people are very skilled in both combat and logistical matters.

Originally, Fang Hong and his four colleagues were supposed to officially take office tomorrow.

But they couldn't resist their curiosity, so they secretly followed Jiang Qin, wanting to know what kind of person their future boss was. They thought their disguise was flawless, but they didn't expect that it had already been seen through.

Jiang Qin looked at the five people, restraining Jiang Tao with one hand, and asked:

"I'm new to the capital and not very familiar with the headquarters' rules yet."

"If I kill this guy right now, would that be breaking the rules?"

Jiang Tao's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and he quickly said, "Jiang Qin! I just wanted to spar with you. What right do you have to kill me? Aren't you afraid the clan elders will cause you trouble?"

Fang Hong answered without hesitation:

"Although you haven't officially reported for duty yet, your rank is already that of a commander-in-chief."

"According to the regulations, the Commander-in-Chief bears the important responsibility of maintaining the city's safety and controlling martial artists. Anyone you determine to be a threat to the city or to be in violation of the regulations can be punished directly without submitting evidence."

This sentence is like a death warrant.

As soon as Fang Hong finished speaking, Jiang Qin gripped his hand tightly.

The powerful force of lightning surged into Jiang Tao's body through his arm, and the intense lightning relentlessly destroyed his organs and body, causing Jiang Tao to stare wide-eyed in pain, his eyes bloodshot.

Countless drops of blood seeped from his pores.

He lost consciousness before he could even scream.

When Jiang Qin released his grip, the blood-covered corpse fell to the ground, completely lifeless, beyond any doubt.

This scene startled the Jiang family members standing nearby.

They never expected Jiang Qin to be so ruthless; just one provocation and he had killed Jiang Tao without any mercy.

This is one of the more talented individuals in the Jiang family.

He died so easily...

Jiang Qin casually wiped his hands on his clothes, his expression as calm as if he had just casually crushed an insect. His gaze then turned to the depths of the mansion, and he spoke:

"Those of you who are hiding in the shadows and spying, stop hiding and come out!"

His voice carried far, and coupled with the corpses at his feet, he was extremely intimidating.

Those Jiang family members who had been watching from the shadows no longer hid and stepped forward one after another.

The Jiang family does not distinguish between the main family and branch families.

The entire family has only about five hundred members, which seems like a lot, but compared to other families of the same level, this number is pitifully small.

As a result, the Jiang family received more resources despite having fewer members, making them more powerful than other families.

One after another, countless figures descended.

Those who hold positions within the clan will also report their positions.

"Jiang Chengze, representative of the Jiang family's second branch elders' council, greets the young patriarch."

"Jiang Dongjun, representative of the Jiang family's three branches of elders, greets the young patriarch."

"Jiang Yue, representative of the Jiang family's three branches of elders, greets the young patriarch..."

"The Jiang Family Courtroom..."

"Jiang Family Treasure Hall..."

Most of the Jiang family members were present, with the majority at the Spirit Sea Realm and a few at the Divine Appearance Realm.

The heads of each hall are all at the peak of the Divine Appearance Realm.

Even though most of their fighting force was taken to the frontier, the strength displayed by those present was enough to annihilate any second-rate martial arts force in the capital.

This doesn't even take into account the situation of martial artists from other races.

Jiang Qin stood still, looking directly at everyone present.

Those who were being looked at instinctively lowered their heads, because the person in front of them was too dazzling. The fact that Jiang Qin had just dealt with Jiang Tao so easily was enough to convince everyone present.

No matter where you are, having the ability will earn the trust of 99% of the world's population.

Jiang Qin looked at them and said, "To be honest, I don't feel any sense of belonging to the Jiang family. As I just said, I don't really care about the position of the young clan leader. I lost my home three years ago. If possible, I hope I can treat this place as my home and find even a little bit of belonging here."

"But I am an unconventional person, and I especially abhor evil."

Do you understand what I'm trying to say?

If the Jiang family is clean, Jiang Qin is willing to take the initiative to make some attempts.

But if the Jiang family is no different from the martial arts families he has eliminated before, he thinks... he might do some inhumane things. Even if they share the same bloodline, as long as he deems them guilty, he will not hesitate to eliminate them.

The Jiang family members looked at each other, not fools, and naturally understood what he meant.

Finally, the representatives of the clan elders, perhaps having already received the news and prepared themselves, knelt down on one knee, looking at the dazzlingly bright young man.

"We obey the young clan leader's order!"

Seeing this, the other Jiang family members also quickly knelt down on one knee.

"Respond to the young clan leader's order!!!"

The shouts were deafening, and something invisibly coalesced, connecting them.

Among them were those who relied on their family power to bully others.

But now, they have a new bottom line.

That's Jiang Qin's rule!
