Supreme God Emperor Chapter Vol 4 5259: Jiang Yong was killed

A fearsome surge of power erupted violently, with boundless Dao energy seemingly forming three divine spirits that hammered down on Jiang Yong.

Thump...

A deep rumble echoed through the air.

Jiang Yong's face drained of all color.

His body crashed heavily onto the ground, causing the whole of Dongjiang City to quake and shudder.

In the instant that followed, Tang Yan dropped from above and planted his foot squarely on Jiang Yong's chest.

Bending down to stare at Jiang Yong, Tang Yan sneered: "Jiang Yong, what did you do for your pavilion master Lu Yun? How long have you been depending on him?"

"You'd be better off joining our Tang family and helping us seize Yunge. With your strength at the two realms level now, I promise you a lofty position in the Tang family!"

Jiang Yong gazed at the arrogant Tang Yan but remained silent.

He was aware that Muyun would never spare him if he sided with the Tang family.

Betrayers were what Mu Yun despised above all else.

"Tang Yan, even if I die, I won't travel the Huangquan road alone—you'll join me soon enough!"

These words ignited Tang Yan's fury to the extreme.

He stomped down with one foot, shattering Jiang Yong's chest.

"Jiang Yong, I offered you a path to survival, but since you reject it, then perish!"

Bang!!!

Jiang Yong's head burst apart.

Right then, Tang Guan and Tang Yu arrived with their men.

"Second Master, how should we deal with Dongjiang City?"

"What do you think should be done?"

Tang Yan declared outright: "Accept those willing to submit to Yunge, and slaughter those who refuse!"

"Yes!"

Tang Guan and Tang Yu promptly led their forces away.

"Hold on!"

The pair halted in their tracks.

At that very moment.

Tang Yan coldly commanded: "Exterminate every member of the Jiang family—leave none alive."

"Yes!"

Chaos engulfed Dongjiang City completely.

Having claimed Dongjiang City, Tang Yan swiftly dispatched forces to conquer all nearby small towns and key settlements.

Yunge warriors guarded these small towns and vital areas, yet without powerful experts overseeing them, resistance proved futile.

Meanwhile.

In Cangzhou.

Within the Cloud Alliance.

In the grand hall.

Mu Yun shot to his feet, a chilling glint flashing in his eyes.

"What's the matter?"

At his side, Wang Xinya rose too, adjusting her partially slipped dress, her voice laced with concern.

"Trouble's brewing!"

Mu Yun stated: "Jiang Yong in Yunge Pavilion is dead."

Through their bond, he sensed Jiang Yong's demise clearly.

Mu Yun dressed quickly and announced, "I'll head back to Yunge first to check."

"I'll go with you!"

"No way!" Mu Yun replied at once: "You must oversee Yunmeng here—any mishap would spell disaster."

"I can now battle even Five Elements Realm foes. Unless the peak experts from Yuanshizong, Chiyumen, Stone Clan, or Four Beastmen make a move, I can handle whatever chaos arises!"

"Then take care."

"Got it."

Exiting the palace, Mu Yun rallied his five hundred elite shepherd army. Shen Mu, stationed in the Cloud Alliance, noticed the alert and arrived with Zhang Xuexin to inquire.

Upon hearing the situation, Shen Mugui furrowed his brow and remarked, "With Jiang Yong in Dongjiang City, invaders have struck at Yunmeng!"

"Yunge's main base is in Yuncheng—Zhao Wenting should receive word shortly."

Zhang Xuexin added: "No need to fret excessively; Yuncheng's defensive formation, crafted by Yuexi, stands unbreakable—they can't breach it."

"Yuncheng doesn't concern me, but the other territories do. Yuncheng boasts real might, while elsewhere..."

A bloodbath across those areas would devastate Yunge.

"Will the five hundred shepherd army suffice?" Zhang Xuexin pressed: "If not, have Liu Wenxiao and Cang Hong accompany you!"

Both Liu Wenxiao and Cang Hong had reached Five Elements Realm, offering extra assurance.

"No need—the shepherd army will do."

"Plus, the Tianluan White Ape Clan dwells in the Giant Ape Mountain Range; I'll call on them if required."

For now, the Cloud Alliance demanded utmost focus.

Newly formed, it could ill afford any turmoil.

What if Yanzhou, Xuanzhou, or Yunzhou eyed Yunmeng covetously?

No room for negligence!

Assembling the five hundred shepherd army, Mu Yun departed without delay, racing through the night toward Pingzhou.

In under five days.

Mu Yun reached Seven Cities Earth's Yuncheng.

Beyond Yuncheng, the formation blazed with brilliant light, utterly impenetrable.

"Who goes there?"

A thunderous shout rang out then.

Yet, Mu Yun wasted no time on idle talk. He shot up into the sky, forming seals with his palms as the intricate patterns surged forth right away.

A gap had been torn in the formation guarding the city gates.

Mu Yun's figure strode directly through it.

Right then, countless figures surged out from within Yuncheng.

Zhao Wenting arrived alongside Ying Xuanhai, Xu Jiangnan, Xing Ye, and the other core members.

"Mu Yun!"

"Pavilion Lord!"

All the Daoists bowed deeply in salute upon seeing Mu Yun.

"What's the situation right now? Why was Jiang Yong killed?"

Mu Yun cut straight to the point.

Zhao Wenting replied with a bitter expression, "The Tang family!"

"Tang Yan brought the Tang family's masters to assault Dongjiang City, slaying Jiang Yong and exterminating the entire Jiang family. In the last few days, they've ravaged every small town and key stronghold across the over 100,000 li of land surrounding Dongjiang City—refuse to surrender, and die!"

"The Tang family is only one part of it."

Zhao Wenting added without delay: "Two days ago, in the Yan family and Yue family territories, Hu Yan of the Violent Tiger Gang led his forces in an attack, slaughtering dozens of our Daohai God realm powerhouses and hundreds of Daotai God realm warriors, while seizing hundreds of thousands of li!"

"The Tiger Gang saw the Tang family making their move and jumped in to snatch a piece of the pie!"

Mu Yun's face grew icy cold at these words.

"What do you plan to do now?"

Zhao Wenting responded instantly: "Head to Dongjiang City and confront the Tang family."

Mu Yun pondered briefly before declaring, "In that case, assemble every martial artist from Cloud Pavilion and let's march out!"

"What?"

Zhao Wenting stood stunned.

He had originally intended to take only half the forces, leaving the rest to hold the rear.

But Mu Yun wanted to bring them all along now?

"What else?"

Mu Yun snorted disdainfully: "The Tang family invaded this time, the Tiger Gang followed suit, and they killed my Cloud Pavilion martial artists. If we don't avenge this, won't the outside world think Cloud Pavilion is just a bunch of weaklings?"

"In Cangzhou, the Yunmeng team has already been formed. Now, in Pingzhou, Cloud Pavilion must make its move too."

Mu Yun swept his gaze over the crowd and proclaimed, "The Tang family killed City Lord Jiang Yong and wiped out the Jiang family—then I shall annihilate the Tang family!"

"As for the Tiger Gang, if they surrender, I'll accept them. If not, I won't show mercy."

Today's Mu Yun had reached the Dao Inquiry One Element realm; unless facing a Dao Inquiry Five Elements level expert, nothing could make him fearful.

Dao Inquiry Five Elements realm.

Even among the four great hegemonic powers, such figures were extremely rare.

Lower-tier forces had none at all.

Thus, when Cloud Pavilion learned their Pavilion Lord had returned and was ready to lead them in a counterattack, every martial artist in Cloud Pavilion burned with eagerness, raring to go.

The vast army surged toward Dongjiang City, charging eastward with overwhelming murderous aura.

As they reached Dongjiang City, the Tang family martial artists' faces drained of color at the sight of the incoming hordes.
