Dream of the Red Chamber: Starting from Immortal Martial Arts

Chapter 122 Kill the King and Exterminate the Enemy!

Everyone was invited over by unfamiliar female guards, their faces showing bewilderment and panic.

Only Madam Wang was different; although there was panic in her eyes, there was more dissatisfaction than anything else.

She didn't think about Jin Chuan at all. In her view, it was just about having her subordinates take back what originally belonged to the Rongguo Mansion from Lin Daiyu, a woman from another family. And the Rongguo Mansion was going to be inherited by her Baoyu in the future.

What Lady Wang was truly dissatisfied with was that the household had formed a female army at some point, and why she, the lady of the house, had not been informed.

After exchanging greetings with Grandmother Jia, Lady Wang asked directly, "Grandmother, when were these female soldiers arranged? Is Master aware of this?"

"Have you summoned us, the women of the inner quarters, here to discuss the matter of their rule?"

"My daughter-in-law thinks that now that the master is living in the main hall and the Tiger Guard soldiers are under the jurisdiction of the East Mansion, shouldn't these female soldiers belong to our West Mansion?"

Grandmother Jia glanced at her coldly, letting out a disdainful snort. As Lady Wang's face gradually turned ashen, she patted Yu'er on the back and said, "These girls are the inner guard that Yu Yin has set up for Yu'er. Third Sister will assist her. From now on, the inner guard will have the right to manage all the affairs of the inner quarters of the Marquis of Weihu's mansion, Ningguo mansion, and even our Rongguo mansion, including all the affairs of this old woman."

After saying that, seeing the sudden change in the expressions of the wives below, he added, "If you disagree, the men in front will explain things to you. At that time, everything will be handled according to the family rules and clan regulations."

The group of ladies and wives were startled, but they all replied in unison, "Yes!"

Upon seeing this, Lin Daiyu rose from the soft couch with a murderous look on her face, walked step by step to the center of the hall facing everyone, and waved her hand to the outside: "Bring them in."

Two armored guards entered from outside, carrying the gruesome Jin Chuan, whose body was dragged across the expensive carpet with a crimson stain from the blood.

The women were all startled, and even Grandmother Jia sat up slightly, quietly waiting for the matter to be handled.

Lin Daiyu, her expression indifferent and her tone icy, asked, "Does Second Madam know this person?"

When Madam Wang saw that the woman on the ground was Jin Chuan, she froze. She was beaten half to death, so she was probably going to confess.

"This is...this is Jin Chuan?"

"Ah~"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding wives exclaimed in surprise, "Jin Chuan! She's the Second Madam's personal maid, and she's always been praised by the Second Madam as a confidante!"

What mistake did we make to get to this point?

Upon hearing that she recognized him, Lin Daiyu's expression remained unreadable as she calmly asked, "Does Second Madam know what this girl has done wrong?"

"What is it?"

"She said she was ordered by the Second Madam to steal the general's flag from my room!"

These words were like thunderclaps, exploding powerfully in the hearts of those around them!

Their first thought was that disaster was about to strike!

Upon hearing this, Wang Xifeng's body went limp and she collapsed to the ground, only to be quickly supported by Ping'er, who was waiting outside the courtyard.

Upon hearing this, Madam Wang's eyes flashed with anger, and she shouted, "What a shameless hussy! You stole things yourself, and now you dare to throw dirty water on me?"

"No matter how much I used to pamper you, you cannot stay in this mansion. Sell you off as soon as possible to avoid offending the old lady's eyes."

o

Upon hearing this, Grandmother Jia gave a cold laugh: "It's not so bad that my eyes are soiled, but I fear that someone might soil my heart!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Xing and the others nearby narrowed their eyes sharply and hunched over, secretly retreating little by little.

Madam Wang's face was filled with disbelief, and her eyes were red-rimmed: "Mother-in-law, what do you mean by that?"

Grandmother Jia ignored her and gestured for Lin Daiyu to continue.

Seeing this, Lin Daiyu smiled, her eyes devoid of any emotion, and lowered her head to ask, "Jin Chuan, why don't you tell me?"

A guard grabbed Jin Chuan by the hair and pulled her up, revealing her hideous, bloodied face to the other women. Her eyes were fixed on Madam Wang with venomous hatred as she struggled to speak, her words slurred: "It was the Second Madam... who ordered me to steal the general's flag from Miss Lin's room..."

Madam Wang was furious and shouted, "Shut up! You blind, shameless whore, how dare you tarnish my reputation? Does your whole family want to die?"

Jin Chuan gave a sad laugh, staring at her as she said, "She also said...that Miss Biao is just...a woman from another family who brings misfortune to her mother..."

"What...what qualifications do they have to...to control the Jia family's banners?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Wang's eyes narrowed sharply, and she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, losing all feeling in her limbs.

In an instant, everyone was stunned by this amazing person, even Grandmother Jia was frozen in place!

K...Kim's mother?

"You bastard!"

The old lady flew into a rage, abruptly stood up, grabbed the tiger-head cane beside her, and smashed it straight down on Jia Wangshi's forehead.

Lin Daiyu reached out to stop the cane, suppressing the murderous intent in her heart, and asked Madam Wang, "I'll still call you Aunt, but even if Jin Chuan stole the general's flag, so what if you can't use it?"

Lady Jia did not respond, but knelt before Grandmother Jia, begging for forgiveness: "Mother-in-law, it was truly not my intention, it was this wicked servant who acted on her own!"

Seeing this, Lin Daiyu could no longer suppress her anger. She fiercely drew a guard's sword and thrust it forward with all her might!

"In a split second, the incredibly sharp blade pierced through the exquisite silk robe and plunged into the loose flesh, going straight through to the heart."

"Pfft~"

In the next instant, the sword was drawn, and streaks of blood spurted from the wound, staining the surroundings crimson and even staining Lin Daiyu's delicate face with blood.

Madam Wang clutched her chest in disbelief, blood gushing from her mouth. She struggled to raise her arm, pointing at Lin Daiyu, and cursed, "You wicked woman who defies her superior..."

Before he could finish speaking, his body went limp and he fell backward, dying.

Lin Daiyu wiped the blood from her face expressionlessly, returned her waist knife to its sheath beside the guard, and said calmly, "Gai Wen..."

Heaven and earth establish their principles, and social order is fundamental; for the family to maintain its order, virtue is paramount! Now there is Jia Wangshi, the third-generation wife of the second branch of the Jia family in the Rongguo Mansion. She is inherently wicked and malicious, usurping power, feigning the appearance of a Buddha while harboring a heart of a serpent. Her intentions are unfathomable; she spreads heresies to mislead the masses, slanders the deceased, and corrupts the family rules.

"How can the laws of the family and the strict rules of the clan be allowed to be disrupted by wicked people? Now, Lin Daiyu, a relative of the Jia family, relying on the spirits of heaven and earth and ancestors, and with the authority of the elders in the household, in order to command the inner guards, will punish the wicked among the masses, to rectify the family laws and enforce the clan rules! To cleanse the filth and forever secure the family!"

"The message was relayed throughout the mansion, and everyone, from top to bottom, heard it!"

Everyone stared blankly at Lin Daiyu, especially Grandmother Jia and Madam Xing. They couldn't reconcile the sharp-tongued, decisive beauty before them with the delicate person who had nestled in Jia Min's arms just a few years ago!

"Ugh~"

The sweet, rusty smell emanating from her older sister's body caused Madam Xue to gag, which caused all the women in the group to collapse to the ground, covering their mouths and unable to stop gagging, their eyes filled with terror.

Xue Baochai half-squatted beside her mother, gently stroking her back repeatedly. She lowered her eyes and dared not look at Lin Daiyu. She was extremely nervous. She did not feel any discomfort even when Jia Wangshi died in front of her!

Lin Daiyu's cold gaze swept over the Xue family mother and daughter and Wang Xifeng, her eyes unfathomable. After a long while, the murderous intent in her heart slowly subsided. She exhaled a breath of turbid air and said in a deep voice, "This matter ends here. I hope that you will abide by the family rules and clan regulations from now on. If there is a next time, your maternal clan will be implicated!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Baochai breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged a discreet glance with her mother, and was about to get up when suddenly a sound came from inside the hall.

He uttered a cruel remark: "Why wait until next time? Sister, please rest!"

While Lin Daiyu and the other women were stunned, Jia Tang's indifferent words suddenly rang out from outside, his voice resounding throughout the heavens and earth, his killing intent soaring to the sky.

"Now, Jia Wangshi, the third wife of the Jia family, listened to the slander of her elder brother Wang Teng and framed her relatives and fellow villagers. She acted as an elder and violated human ethics."

"Where does his sinister character come from? From the Wang family. Where does his confidence come from? From the Wang family!"

"The current head of the Jia family of Xianjing, Tang, has severed all ties with his in-laws, the Wang family. However, considering that Wang's daughter bore him two sons and a daughter, he is hereby pardoned from the death penalty!"

"But this woman is a viper in the heart. She is not grateful, but instead harbors resentment. I have ordered the palace guards to kill her as a warning to others."

"Tang deeply felt the corruption of the Wang family's traditions and the darkness of their clan rules. He felt ashamed and fearful that they would harm others, so he reversed the situation and exterminated the entire family. He did this as if cutting flesh from a wound to remove a scourge from the world!"

As soon as the words fell, a golden light suddenly shot out from the thick, dark sky. Then, countless golden rays pierced through the clouds and condensed into a tiger's claw that was covered in colorful, multicolored patterns and burning with crimson and white flames. The fierce and malevolent aura shattered the rain curtain and swept towards the Wang family mansion!

"roar!"

This unexpected turn of events attracted numerous civil and military cultivators from the Immortal Capital to fly into the air and watch, with the divine sense power of each great cultivator surging forth in succession!

"Jia Tang!!!"

A figure flew out of the sky above the Wang family mansion, his aura chaotic and his face filled with panic. It was none other than Wang Ziteng.

He hurtled and flew wildly through the air, but he couldn't fly out no matter what he did, as if an invisible barrier was trapping him.

Wang Ziteng stared at the tiger claw that gradually enlarged in his eyes, which seemed to blot out the sky and even the strands of golden fur on it were clearly visible.

He gave up resisting, his eyes filled with resentment as he glanced at the Ning and Rong mansions. Then, mustering his courage, he shouted in a powerful voice, "The Jia family is immoral, hoarding weapons and armor, usurping power from eight mansions, and plotting a rebellion!"

"The Jia family has hidden treasures, their tiger flag buried underground, connecting them to a vital lineage, and intimidating the entire city!"

"The Jia family demons secretly cultivate blood magic, eating human flesh raw to replenish their vital energy!"

"The Jia family is a demon!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Tang, dressed in a black martial robe with gold-embroidered tiger patterns, appeared opposite Wang Ziteng, looking at him with a smile in his eyes, and said with a playful laugh: "You have some literary talent, it's a pity you're not a literary dog."

"However, my soundproofing method prevents the world from hearing Lord Wang's final song!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ziteng was stunned. His eyes widened in fury, and just as he was about to unleash a torrent of curses, the tiger's claws descended from the sky, obliterating the Wang family mansion from the capital city.

In this area, only the bluestone of the original city of Xianjing remains, and not a single other brick or tile can be seen.

Jia Tang sneered and shouted again, "The ringleader should be executed, and the rest should be exterminated! Where are the officials in charge?"

"My lord!"

"Order the Second and Fifth Attendants to lead two squads of Fire Tiger Guards south to Jinling, destroy their ancestral halls, exterminate their descendants, and order the return of all married daughters and children to their husbands' families. If they refuse, their entire households shall be wiped out!"

"Only in this way can the Wang family line be completely eradicated!"

"only!"

Li Jia and Cui Shulin, the retainers of Rongguo Mansion, led two teams of first-rank Fire Tiger Guards, exuding a chilling and indifferent aura, and flew south, implicating the entire family!

Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials and cultivators in the city narrowed their eyes sharply. Although they had expected Jia Tang to target Wang Shi, they never imagined he would use such ruthless and cruel methods!

This is Jia Tang!

They never show mercy to outsiders!

If it were truly that extreme, then the only remaining bloodline of the Wang family in Jinling and Xianjing would be the son and daughter in the Rongguo Mansion, the fourth generation of wives of the eldest son's family, and the Xue family mother and son who were staying there!

However, since they were born into the Jia family, married into the Jia family, and lived in the Jia family, they were already considered members of the Jia family and had little to do with the Wang family!

Besides, what waves could Jia Tang possibly stir up in his hands?

Jia Tang glanced around indifferently, and everyone who met his gaze turned away. Shaking his head and chuckling, he vanished in an instant, leaving behind a group of curious onlookers who stood around the empty former site of the Wang family, marveling at its emptiness.

"Is this the might of Marquis Weihu? Prince Teng, a high-ranking official of the imperial court and the Inspector General of Nine Provinces, along with his entire household, died like this?"

"Wang Shi is quite a character to have driven Jia Tang to this point!"

"That Wang family girl is out of her mind; she dared to plot against the Tiger Guard when Jia Tang was young. The seeds of her downfall were sown long ago!"

"Wasn't it suppressed back then? They must have done something stupid recently..."

"The Wang family, they're nothing special. They rose to power through the Jia family and then wavered between factions, two-faced and treacherous!"

Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall.

Jia Tang's tall and imposing figure suddenly appeared beside Lin Daiyu. His gaze swept over the people around him, then landed on Xue's mother and daughter and Wang Xifeng, and he fell into deep thought.

Although he had sexual relations with Wang Xifeng, he used a secret method to lock his virginity, which was merely a way to release his pent-up desires and did not result in her becoming pregnant.

As for the Xue family, where Xue Baochai lived, killing her was fine, but not killing her was also fine. Besides, Jia Tang had clearly seen through her methods towards Jin Chuan in Daiyu Hall.

Jia Tang's deep contemplation startled Wang Xifeng and the others, who stood frozen in place, trembling, too afraid to look at him, and could only cast hopeful glances at Grandmother Jia and Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu was deeply moved. Although she felt a little reluctant to kill so many people, she understood that Jia Tang was standing up for her, so she would not voice any objections that would put him in a difficult position and would comply with everything!

Grandmother Jia paid little attention to the Xue family's gaze, but Wang Xifeng made her ponder deeply, because through her conversation with Jia She, she learned that there really is such a thing as destiny in this world.

So, does a wife who is formally married with a grand procession and whose ancestors are worshipped also possess the fortune of the Jia family?

With the death of a widowed woman from three generations, and the extinction of her other relatives, could Wang Xifeng be saved, even if it meant giving birth to a grandson for Jia She's family before dying?

Just then, Jia She rushed in, sharing the same thought as Grandmother Jia. He pulled Jia Tang aside and advised, "Yu Yin, you know about the concept of fate. The fate of this first wife affects our clan. It would be meaningless to remarry Jia Lian after she dies!"

Upon hearing this, Grandmother Jia sighed and said, "They helped us a lot during the founding of the dynasty. Those outside have been exterminated, but those within the household have been spared."

Well, that settles the old Wang family's old favor a little.

"Mother, what kind of sentiment is this!"
