Chapter 353

Chapter 353 - The Five Great Families It Won't be Easy to Deal with Them If They Listen to Him!

“There are numerous Seclusion Families within our nation, but at the pinnacle, there should be four major clans!”

The Fifth Elder paused, as if recalling something, then quickly corrected himself.

“No, actually, there are five top-tier Seclusion Families.”

Jiang Hao's curiosity was instantly ignited, and he eagerly inquired.

“Oh?”

“Tell me about these five elite aristocratic families!”

Without delay, the Fifth Elder listed them.

“Ranked by the age of their legacies, the five clans are the Feng, Jiang, Ji, Kong, and Ying clans!”

“The records show that they are descendants of the divine Emperor Fuxi, the Flame Emperor, the Yellow Emperor, Confucius, and Qin Shihuang!”

“However, due to escalating internal strife, the Ying clan split into the Zhao and Lu branches.

As a result, the Ying clan's power has significantly diminished, and now they are more or less in name only.”

There was a hint of mockery in the Fifth Elder's voice.

Soong Wanzhong was astounded by this revelation; the Seclusion Families had such an ancient and profound heritage!

”The strength of these four top-tier Seclusion Families is truly formidable!” he exclaimed.

The Fifth Elder then elaborated, “Beneath these five elite Seclusion Families are six others: the Liu, Xiang, Sima, Li, Zhao, and Lu Clans. They are a notch below but still significant.”

“Yet, they don't hold a candle to the might of the top five families!”

With this, Jiang Hao gained a clearer picture of the hierarchy within the Seclusion Families.

Afterward, as he uncovered more hidden details, Jiang Hao grappled with how to handle the Fifth and Seventh Elders.

If they had shown any defiance, he might have easily justified eliminating them.

But their compliance presented him with an unexpected dilemma.

In that moment, Jiang Hao looked up, fixing his gaze on the Fifth and Seventh Elders.

Their hearts clenched, yet they dared not meet Jiang Hao's eyes.

They had witnessed his power firsthand; a mere glare had been enough to kill the Seventh Elder. They weren't about to test him again.

Just then, Jiang Hao produced a jade medicine bottle and extended it towards them.

Confused, the Fifth and Seventh Elders looked up and inadvertently locked eyes with Jiang Hao.

Detecting a hint of mockery in his gaze, they were instantly alarmed and tried to avert their eyes.

But by then, it was far too late.
