Jin Ming was dead.
He died very sullenly because he was betrayed by his own family.
Not long after the Spirit Rhythm Sect sealed off Silken City, Jin Ming's older brother, Jin Xian, was unable to endure this enormous pressure, and under his despair, he secretly surrendered to the Spirit Rhythm Sect. Furthermore, he swore on his primordial spirit that he would never betray the Spirit Echo Sect.
From Jin Xian's point of view, Lu Tianming had no chance at all. He would definitely die!
Jin Xian was the eldest son of the Jin family. He was nearly fifty years old and had always kept a low profile. He rarely made enemies with others. He was not famous outside, but he had a very high status in the Jin family. When Kim Dongnan was in charge of the Kim family, Kim Hyun, as the heir, had been helping his father deal with all kinds of things. He could be regarded as Jin Dongnan's most capable right-hand man.
After Jin Dongnan's death, Jin Xian's hatred for Chu Mo was quite strong. He felt that it was Chu Mo who'd caused the death of his father, and if it wasn't for Chu Mo, how could Silken City have suffered such a calamity? How could the Kim family suffer such a huge blow?
He'd never thought that even if there was no Chu Mo, so long as the news of the three great clans of Silken City obtaining a great amount of benefits from the ruins of the Clear Void Sect were spread out, then the outcome of the three great clans might not be any better than it was now.
A man's wealth is his own ruin!
The benefits that the Three Great Clans had obtained from the ruins of the Distinct Void Sect were enough to drive countless people crazy.
But that was how people were. They liked to put the blame on others. In the end, those who "constantly reflect on their mistakes" … were in the minority. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so few sages in this world.
Kim Hyun was no exception. Although his name had the word "Hyun" in it, his previous performance seemed to indicate that he was a virtuous person. However, everything changed after his father's death.
First of all, Jin Xian, the temporary head of the Jin family, had developed a deep fear and vigilance towards his younger brother, Jin Ming, whom he had never taken seriously in the past.
This started from the moment he became the temporary head of the family!
Normally, after the death of Jin Dongnan, the Jin family's Elder Council should have directly announced Jin Xian as the successor of the Jin family. Even if there was a temporary replacement, it would be removed very quickly. He would become the true head of the Jin family.
After all, Jin Xian inheriting the position of the head of the Jin family was a matter of course, and no one would stand up to oppose this matter.
But that was where the problem lay!
Up until now, the word 'temporary' above Kim Hyun's head … had not been removed!
And this was directly related to his younger brother, Jin Ming!
If Jin Ming was still the same as before, he naturally wouldn't be a threat. All along, Jin Ming's thoughts had never been on fighting for the position of Patriarch. Compared to his brothers, Jin Ming had absolutely no interest in power.
But now it was different, because he had a powerful fiancée!
Fang Lan!
It was this woman!
When Jin Dongnan was alive, he was full of praise for Fang Lan. He said that although this girl was born in a small town, she was virtuous and intelligent. Most importantly, she was very talented! To be able to marry her as a daughter-in-law would be the fortune of the entire Jin family!
In this way, Fang Lan's position in the hearts of the Jin family was very special. However, none of Jin Xian's wives and concubines had ever received such praise.
What Jin Xian feared the most was Fang Lan's master … Lu Tianming!
This young man who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere was simply too terrifying!
First, he killed a group of Golden Core Stage disciples of the Blood Demon Sect during the Foundation Building Tribulation. Then, he broke through continuously and advanced to the Golden Core Stage at an unimaginable speed.
After that, under the siege of a large number of elites of the Spirit Rhyme Sect, not only did he escape safely, but he also successfully made a comeback, toying with the entire Spirit Rhyme Sect!
This kind of courage, this kind of combat strength, it was simply a well-deserved peerless talent! At least, Jin Xian had never heard of any young man in the Spiritual Realm who had this kind of strength. Even a powerful person like Feng Jianghai, the leader of the Spirit Rhyme Sect, could only roar in anger, but there was nothing he could do.
Such a scary guy was actually the master of his younger brother's fiancée!
If Lu Tianming could really survive the siege of the Spirit Rhyme Sect, he would definitely grow into a powerful person in the future. With the support of such a person, if Jin Ming wanted to become the Patriarch of the Jin family … it was simply a matter of a thought, anytime, anywhere!
From the moment he understood this, Jin Xian's heart was already filled with murderous intent!
It was said that the royal family had no kinship, but in fact, in these super large families, kinship was also a rare thing.
A Patriarch like Jin Dongnan was really rare.
Jin Xian wanted to kill his younger brother, Jin Ming, but he didn't want to kill his younger brother with his own hands, which would give him the reputation of brothers fighting each other. Thus, he wanted to borrow the hands of the Spirit Rhyme Sect to get rid of Jin Ming!
This way, no matter what, he, Jin Xian … would be in an invincible position!
If a miracle happened, and Lu Tianming came back alive and survived the pursuit of the Spirit Rhyme Sect, then Jin Ming would already be dead. Dying in the hands of the Spirit Rhyme Sect, it would have nothing to do with Jin Xian; If Lu Tianming didn't come back alive and was eventually killed by the Spirit Rhyme Sect, then he would betray Jin Ming … it would be a righteous act!
At that time, he would also be able to obtain a lot of benefits from the Spirit Rhyme Sect.
It could be said that being low-key was just a disguise for Jin Xian. The Jin Xian in his bones was a rather cold-blooded and selfish person. This was something that almost no one in the entire Jin family could see.
Thus, Jin Ming died very sullenly and wronged. Because he'd never had such thoughts, and even if Fang Lan did, Jin Ming who valued family deeply in his bones would absolutely not agree to it.
Until his death, he didn't know that he'd been betrayed by his own older brother.
At the instant of his death, only a single figure remained in Jin Ming's heart, and that was Fang Lan.
Lan 'er, I'm sorry … I'm unable to be your husband in this lifetime and accompany you. I'm unable to spoil you, love you, and take care of you forever … I'm sorry!
At the instant Jin Ming died, Fang Lan who was a few tens of thousands of kilometers away from Silken City suddenly felt as if her heart was fiercely clenched by someone, and it hurt fiercely.
Subsequently, Fang Lan's tears flowed down without rhyme or reason.
"Hmm? What's wrong? "Chu Mo, Xiao Wanjun, and Li Fangzhong who were traveling looked at Fang Lan with bewildered expressions.
Fang Lan's face revealed an expression of pain, yet her eyes were filled with blankness. "I, I don't know. It seems as if something important has suddenly vanished. I don't know why, but I feel extremely sad in my heart."
Chu Mo frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Could it be that something has happened in Silken City?"
Fang Lan's figure trembled slightly, and she said with a trembling voice, "It can't be!"
"Speed up!" As he spoke, Chu Mo pulled Fang Lan's arm, and their speed instantly doubled!
Xiao Wanjun and Li Fangzhong glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes. After that, they nodded at the same time. These geniuses that came down from the Immortal Dimension … are really different!
Along with the increase in their speed, they grew closer and closer to Silken City!
Finally, the majestic city appeared in front of them.
But when Chu Mo's gaze descended onto the tower above the entrance to Silken City, his figure stopped abruptly, and he cried out involuntarily. "Jin Ming!"
Fang Lan's cultivation was slightly inferior, yet she noticed Jin Ming who was hung on the tower with a single glance and had died for an unknown period of time. Her mind instantly went blank, and her entire body … was completely stunned. Tears flowed down her face with a swish, and then her vision went black as she fainted.
Surging flames of rage erupted from the depths of Chu Mo's heart, and his eyes emanated boundless killing intent.
