Amidst the crowd's anticipation, Jiang Tian returned with his clansmen.
"Is there any news?"
Jiang Han immediately pulled himself together, asking with a glimmer of hope.
He was in desperate need of an Alchemist to save the day, willing to pay any price as long as it could stabilize the Jiang Family's situation.
Jiang Tian and the others all shook their heads.
"We're sorry, Patriarch."
"We've let everyone down."
"Right now, there are simply no Alchemists to be found in Hanwu City."
The news sent a tremor through the crowd, and a heavy weight settled in everyone's heart.
The Jiang Family was now in a position where they would either rise or fall as one.
If the Jiang Family's source of income was severed, it wouldn't be long before the entire clan disintegrated, perhaps even facing utter ruin and death.
Then, if the Ximen Family were to strike, the Jiang Family would collapse without a fight. It wasn't even out of the question that their entire clan could be annihilated.
