Chapter 349 Jing Family’s Ordeal
Before the gates of the Jing Family Mansion stood more than twenty guards.
Normally, there would only be four guards stationed at the entrance, but now the presence of over twenty indicated the tense atmosphere.
Upon nearing the front gate of the mansion, Jing Yan, who wore a black cloak, was promptly spotted by the Jing Family Guards, who fixed him with a vigilant gaze.
"Halt, stranger!" the guard at the forefront, a Martial Artist of the Ninth Layer Heaven, demanded, staring intently at Jing Yan.
"I need to see the Jing Family Patriarch!" Jing Yan stated plainly.
"Hm?" Several of the strongest guards exchanged glances. Gripping their weapons tightly, they showed no signs of relaxation, prepared for a fight at any moment.
"Who are you?" the leading guard demanded, emphasizing the question.
Given the current high-stakes situation, all the guards were extremely cautious and vigilant.
"You only need to report my visit, say that the Jing Family in Donglin City is in grave danger, and someone has come to offer assistance," Jing Yan spoke after a moment’s contemplation.
With many prying eyes around, Jing Yan preferred not to reveal his identity to the guards quite yet.
"You wish to help our Jing Family?" a glimmer of hope flashed across the guard’s eyes, "Please wait here, I will immediately inform the Clan Leader."
The guard turned and hastened into the mansion, not daring to delay.
