Chapter 976: Chapter 976: Meeting Xue Wei

The guard carefully handed over an envelope. Jiang Qi took it and immediately noticed that the envelope was enveloped in a thick layer of Demonic Qi.

The Demonic Qi was like a black mist, faintly emitting a cold and evil aura, tightly wrapping the envelope.

Jiang Qi sneered, a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes: "To deliver a message using such methods."

He placed the envelope on the table, waved his hand, and light blue Spiritual Power flowed from his palm, forming a dense web of Spiritual Power that enclosed the Demonic Qi on the envelope.

The Demonic Qi, surrounded by the Spiritual Power web, emitted a hissing sound as if trying to break free, but Jiang Qi’s Spiritual Power was evidently stronger, gradually suppressing the Demonic Qi.

Moments later, the Demonic Qi was completely dispersed, and the seal on the envelope was also lifted.

Jiang Qi smiled lightly, reaching out to open the envelope, revealing a thin piece of silk cloth inside. Several lines of urgent handwriting were inscribed on the silk cloth.

...

After reading the contents of the letter, Jiang Qi’s face instantly turned livid, and a raging fire ignited in his eyes.

He slammed the table suddenly, and the Spirit Wine Cup in his hand shattered, crystalline wine splashing across the tabletop.

He stood up, an imposing presence, like an enraged beast.

"Xue Wei! How dare you!" Jiang Qi roared, his voice reverberating in the hall, causing the surrounding maids and guards to not dare to raise their heads.

His chest heaved violently, fists clenched tightly, knuckles pale due to exertion, "He not only took away the Jiang Ancient Clan’s Clan’s Guardian Stone, and now dares to use such means to threaten me! Utterly brazen!"

Jiang Qi’s eyes were filled with anger and murderous intent, his forehead furrowed with dark rage.

He recalled the Clan’s Guardian Stone turning into a stone, and anger burned within him. It was the legacy treasure of the Jiang Ancient Clan, symbolizing the glory and power of the entire clan. Xue Wei’s actions were nothing less than provocation against him and the entire Jiang Ancient Clan.

"Damn Xue Wei!" Jiang Qi gritted his teeth, his voice filled with endless fury, "You think you can brazenly threaten the Jiang Ancient Clan like this? You’re wrong! I’ll definitely settle this score with you!"

His gaze was cold and somber, seemingly able to penetrate everything, directly reaching Xue Wei’s heart.

He knew he must take action, as he couldn’t let Xue Wei continue his arrogance.

The dignity and honor of the Jiang Ancient Clan are inviolable, he must let everyone know that those who dare provoke the Jiang Ancient Clan will undoubtedly pay a heavy price.

Jiang Qi took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner anger.

He turned to look at the guard beside him, his eyes flashing with a ruthless light.

"Summon some people, open the Teleportation Array, I’m going to the Xue Family now!"

In his fury, Jiang Qi gathered the elite of the clan and quickly headed to the Xue Family.

The speed of their Teleportation Array was extremely fast, and it wasn’t long before they arrived at the gates of the Xue Family.

The gates of the Xue Family were grand and imposing, with towering stone pillars on both sides carved with ancient patterns, showcasing the authority and heritage of the Xue Family as an Ancient Clan.

Xue Wei, the Patriarch of the Xue Family, had already received the news and immediately dispatched the core members of the family to welcome them.

Several Xue Family Elders dressed in luxurious long robes quickly stepped out of the gate, led by the Great Elder of the Xue Family who wore a solemn expression, cupping his hands respectfully to greet Jiang Qi.

"Sir, the Patriarch is already waiting in the inner hall, please follow me." The Great Elder said softly, his voice carrying a hint of unease and reverence.

Jiang Qi snorted coldly, his expression stern, stepping into the gates of the Xue Family.

The Great Elder and several elders led the way, with Jiang Qi and his accompanying elite following closely behind.

They traversed the long stone stairway corridor, entering the interior of the Xue Family. On both sides, the scenery was beautiful, lush trees, babbling streams, but Jiang Qi was in no mood to appreciate it, his heart consumed by anger.

Before long, they arrived at a stately and imposing hall. Above the entrance hung a large plaque with the words "Xue Feng Hall." The inside

of the hall, the Patriarch of the Xue Family sat peacefully on a carved redwood chair, holding an ancient book, seemingly engrossed in study.

Upon hearing footsteps, the Patriarch slowly raised his head, his gaze falling on Jiang Qi, a complex smile appearing on his face.

He set down the book, stood to welcome them: "Young Master Jiang Qi, you’ve traveled a long way, thank you for your efforts."

The Patriarch’s tone was calm, but his eyes gleamed with an unfathomable light.

Behind him was a large wooden desk piled with various documents and scrolls, revealing his busyness in handling Xue Family affairs.

On the wall behind the desk hung several ancient paintings, depicting picturesque landscapes, showcasing the Xue Family’s long history and cultural heritage.

Jiang Qi walked into the Xue Feng Hall, his eyes flashing with cold light, completely unrestrained in expressing his anger. He spoke bluntly: "Patriarch of the Xue Family, I want to see Xue Wei in the prison."

Patriarch Xue Feng’s brow furrowed slightly, a trace of distress appearing on his face.

He sighed softly, speaking heavily: "Young Master Jiang Qi, I apologize. Xue Wei is currently under strict surveillance to prevent his escape. The family has ordered that no outsiders are allowed to visit."

Jiang Qi’s face instantly turned grim, his eyes ablaze with fury.

He stepped forward abruptly, his voice icy: "Patriarch of the Xue Family, are you playing games with me? You should know that the Jiang Ancient Clan’s Clan’s Guardian Stone was taken by Xue Wei! Now I demand to see him, and you dare obstruct? Refusal means you’re making an enemy of the entire Jiang Ancient Clan!"

Patriarch Xue Feng’s expression grew even more distressed, his brow tightly knitted, appearing caught in a dilemma.

He knew Jiang Qi’s wrath was not something to be underestimated, but he couldn’t easily overturn the family’s rules either. He said helplessly: "Young Master Jiang Qi, the family’s decision is also for Xue Wei’s safety. We’re concerned he may exploit any opportunity to escape, causing us even greater trouble."

Jiang Qi’s anger further escalated, his fists clenched, eyes flashing coldly: "Patriarch of the Xue Family, you’re forcing my hand! You better consider whether your Xue Family can afford the cost of being enemies with the Jiang Ancient Clan!"

Feeling Jiang Qi’s threat, Xue Feng’s face changed, weighing the situation carefully in his heart.

He knew continued refusal might trigger a conflict between the two major clans, something he wasn’t willing to see.

After a moment of contemplation, he finally compromised, his tone slightly softened: "Young Master Jiang Qi, please calm down. We truly can’t let outsiders visit Xue Wei, but I can make an exception for you to enter alone, provided you guarantee not to help him escape."

Jiang Qi’s anger slightly subsided, but his gaze remained cold: "I’m only going to see him, not help him escape. You’d better keep your word and not play tricks."

Xue Feng nodded, gesturing to the elder beside him: "Take Young Master Jiang Qi to see Xue Wei."

An elder immediately received the order, respectfully leading Jiang Qi towards the Xue Family Prison. Jiang Qi glanced coldly at Xue Feng, then followed the elder out of the hall towards the prison.
