The old man's words were like a stream of clear water, slowly pouring into the hearts of everyone present. They began to rethink whether they had really reached a dead end and whether there were other options. At this moment, the entire meeting hall was filled with people.

There was a solemn and hopeful atmosphere.

"Make peace?" Jiang Lianheng's sneer contained a bit of disdain and anger. His voice echoed in the empty conference hall, making it particularly harsh.

"Do you think there is still room for peace between us and Ling Xiao? He personally killed my father, who was my closest relative! He also made the Jiang family pay such a heavy price, countless

The blood of our people has dyed this land red. How can this hatred be easily erased? If we choose to make peace, how will we explain to the souls of those innocent dead? How will we face the heroic spirits of the ancestors of the Jiang family?"

When the old man heard this, the wrinkles on his face seemed to be a little deeper. He shook his head slowly, with a flash of complicated emotions in his eyes.

"Master, I understand your anger and reluctance, but hatred will only plunge us into deeper darkness. We do have an enmity with Ling Xiao, but don't forget, we have also done something to him and his family.

Lived the same cruel thing."

"Over the years, we imprisoned his mother and tortured her; we even brutally killed his father, leaving him without a close relative; we even kidnapped his friends as a threat."

"Aren't these actions considered a sin? Now, if we can let go of the hatred in our hearts and reach a reconciliation with Ling Xiao, we may be able to win a glimmer of hope for the Jiang family."

The old man's words were full of helplessness and advice. He knew the pain in Jiang Lianheng's heart, but he also understood that only by letting go of hatred can he find a real way out.

"We are all members of the Jiang family, with the same blood flowing through our veins. Why would we plunge the entire family into a state of doom for personal grudges? Do you really want to see the Jiang family completely destroyed in your hands?"

Jiang Lianheng was silent for a moment after hearing the words. His fists were clenched and his nails were deeply embedded in his palms, as if he was trying to suppress the anger and unwillingness in his heart. However, the old man's words were like a sharp knife, piercing hard.

His heart forced him to face the cruelty of reality.

"The Ji family..." He murmured in a low voice, with a complicated look flashing in his eyes, "The Ji family does have wolfish ambitions. What they want is the complete surrender and attachment of the Jiang family. But even if we use the power of the Ji family,

So what? Ling Xiao’s strength and resourcefulness are far beyond our imagination. The Ji family may not be able to stop him."

At this moment, Jiang Lianheng's heart was full of contradictions and struggles. He wanted to avenge his family, but he didn't want to see the Jiang family become a vassal of the Ji family. He wanted to let go of hatred and seek peace, but he was worried that this would happen.

Doing so would betray those people who died innocently.

His eyes wandered between anger, pain and confusion, as if he was undergoing a spiritual baptism.

"Poof!" A dull and decisive sound cut through the solemn atmosphere in the meeting hall, as if even time had frozen at this moment.

The old man's body trembled suddenly, and his eyes widened in disbelief. He saw a sharp blade coming out of his chest, and blood spurted out like a fountain, dyeing his clothes red and the surrounding panic.

gaze.

He turned his head with difficulty, and caught Jiang Zhan's cold and ruthless face in his blurred vision. The eyes that were once full of wisdom and love were as cold as ice at the moment, without any hesitation or mercy.

The old man opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he could only let out a weak moan and closed his eyes forever.

Jiang Zhan's movements did not stop at all. He coldly retracted the long knife and kicked the old man's body away with one kick. That decisive gesture seemed to declare his position and determination to everyone. His eyes were as cold as frost as he glanced around.

Around him, everyone he looked at lowered their heads involuntarily, not daring to look at him.

"Those who speak peace will die!" Jiang Zhan's voice was low and powerful, and every word struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer. There was no hesitation or wavering in his tone, only the desire for revenge.

Determined and persistent.

In his opinion, every drop of blood shed by the Jiang family is an unforgivable sin. Only blood for blood can comfort the souls of those innocent dead.

There was dead silence in the hall, only the sound of the old man's body falling to the ground echoed. Although many people were dissatisfied and angry with Jiang Zhan's actions, no one dared to refute in the face of his powerful and cold pressure.

Today, Jiang Zhan is not only the strongest being in the Jiang family, but also the embodiment of the family's will. Every decision he makes will become the direction of the Jiang family's future.

In such an atmosphere, everyone had to temporarily put aside their personal emotions and positions and choose silence and obedience.

They understand that the most important thing now is to unify their minds and jointly deal with the current crisis. If some people want to make peace and some want revenge, then the Jiang family will fall into even more chaos and division. And such a result will not affect anyone.

Neither can bear it.

Therefore, despite all the reluctance and helplessness in their hearts, everyone still chose silence and compromise.

"Everyone, don't blame me for being cruel. I, Jiang Zhan, will not make peace with Ling Xiao until I die!" Jiang Zhan's words revealed a kind of determination and tragedy. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, scanning the people present.

Everyone seems to want to imprint their own will deeply in everyone's heart.

"The tragic death of my eldest brother, my own serious injuries, and the sacrifices of countless sons and daughters of the Jiang family. These and other things were all given by Ling Xiao. This hatred is irreconcilable, and I, Jiang Zhan, vow to get it back.

justice!"

His words contained endless anger and unwillingness, but more importantly, they contained firm belief in the future of the family. Jiang Zhan knew very well that only revenge could comfort the souls of the dead and revive the Jiang family.

He turned to face Jiang Lianheng, with a hint of undoubted determination in his tone: "Master, this matter cannot be delayed. You need to see the Ji family immediately. No matter how harsh the conditions they put forward, as long as you can help my Jiang family get revenge,

We must all agree. The glory and future of our family rest on you."

When Jiang Lianheng heard this, his face was solemn. He knew well that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. He gritted his teeth and a look of determination flashed in his eyes, as if he was making a final psychological struggle. However, when his eyes met Jiang's again,

When the chops met, the hesitation and hesitation were gone.

"Okay, I will handle this matter personally. The Ji family is inextricably linked to our Jiang family, and they will not just sit idly by. Moreover, the strong members of the Ji family have always lived in the Jiang family, so it is more convenient for them to do things.
