The Qi Cultivation Emperor Who Snatches Brides, do you think you're funny?

Upon hearing Li Xuan's sarcastic words, Jiang Liang's face turned extremely ugly, alternating between pale and flushed. His face, which was already slightly pale from the pain, was now flushed red, with veins bulging on his forehead and his eyes filled with anger and resentment.

"Who do you think you are? Do you think you can deal with my Jiang family?" Jiang Liang gritted his teeth and said viciously, his voice hoarse with anger. "My Jiang family has stood in this Eastern Wilderness for many years, with a deep foundation and many powerful experts. It's not something your little Li family can afford to offend! You may feel confident now because you have a Saint King Realm expert here, but if we really fight, my Jiang family can easily send out a few teams of experts and wipe out your Li family. At that time, not a single one of you will be spared!"

"I advise you to release me quickly and then obediently apologize to my Jiang family. Perhaps I can still plead for you in front of the elders of the clan and ask them to show leniency and forgive your reckless act this time."

Jiang Liang looked at Li Xuan calmly and said.

"If you remain obstinate and continue to be so arrogant, then when my Jiang family finds out that I have suffered such injustice here, we will definitely use all our strength to come and settle accounts with you. At that time, don't blame me for not warning you. Your Li family will face annihilation. Even if you have this Saint King, what can you do? In the end, you can't fight against so many people!"

Jiang Liang's gaze swept back and forth between Li Xuan and the Sage King Ancestor, his eyes revealing a hint of fierceness and determination.

Li Xuan smiled and said, "Really? So you're that important to the Jiang family."

Li Xuan raised his hand.

The moment Li Xuan raised his hand, a powerful yet restrained force suddenly surged out. That force was like an invisible blade, slashing into Jiang Liang's body before Jiang Liang could even react.

With a muffled "boom," Jiang Liang's body exploded silently, flesh and blood flying everywhere, leaving only his head hanging forlornly in mid-air. The scene was extremely gruesome and chilling.

"Ah—" An extremely shrill scream burst from Jiang Liang's mouth, echoing throughout the hall, filled with endless pain, terror, and disbelief.

He stared wide-eyed at the spot where his body had once stood, now only a mist of blood remained, with limbs and pieces of flesh flying everywhere, splattering onto the floor and walls of the hall, a sight both glaring and cruel.

"You...you...you actually dared to attack me!" Jiang Liang's voice was distorted by the pain and shock. He couldn't believe that the Li family would actually dare to treat him like this. In his mind, even if the Li family wasn't afraid of the Jiang family, he was still an important figure in the Jiang family. At most, they would imprison him as a bargaining chip in negotiations with the Jiang family, or use other means to humiliate him. But he never expected that the Li family would be so ruthless, directly resorting to such a vicious act without any regard for the consequences.

His gaze darted around the Li family members, but he found that their faces remained expressionless, as if what had just happened was nothing more than a trivial matter.

The Sage King Ancestor stood to the side, his eyes still holding that trace of pity, but now that pity was tinged with disdain for Jiang Liang's reckless attempt to threaten others. "You're courting death! My Jiang family will never let you go! We will wipe your Li family completely from this Eastern Wilderness, leaving not a single one alive!" Jiang Liang roared hoarsely, but his headless appearance made his harsh words seem somewhat comical, yet also revealed a kind of madness born of despair.

He was truly unwilling to accept this. He had originally thought that he could use the prestige of the Jiang family to intimidate the Li family and get himself out of his predicament. He even dared to try to subdue the Li family and make them work for him. But now, he had ended up in such a miserable state, his body was destroyed, and his life was in the hands of others. How could he, who had always been proud and arrogant, accept this?

"Hmph, still being stubborn even now. What use do you think your harsh words will be? From the moment you stepped into my Li family and started spouting nonsense, you should have known this would be your fate," Li Xuan said coldly, without a trace of pity in his tone.

As Jiang Liang listened to Li Xuan's words, a deep sense of regret welled up in his heart. He regretted that he should not have acted so rashly, should not have underestimated the Li family, and should not have blindly thought that he could run rampant in the Li family just because of the Jiang family's name.

Li Xuan looked at Jiang Liang's severed head, a faint smile still playing on his lips, though tinged with a chilling undertone. He slowly spoke, "Hmph, since you keep saying your Jiang family will spare no effort to wipe out my Li family, I'd like to see if they really have the ability." He then gave a signal to a nearby attendant, "Prepare this head properly and send it to the Jiang family. Let them see that my Li family is not a pushover. Anyone who tries to threaten my Li family will have to be prepared to pay the price."

Upon receiving the order, the attendant immediately stepped forward, his spiritual energy surging as he cast a simple restriction spell to bind Jiang Liang's head. The head still bore the marks of pain and resentment, its eyes fixed on Li Xuan, as if trying to etch his image into its very being forever.

Upon hearing Li Xuan's words, Jiang Liang's anger nearly overwhelmed his remaining reason. He felt as if his chest was about to burst into flames, yet he lacked the strength to even utter a rebuttal, only able to roar wildly in his heart. He never imagined that Li Xuan would be so audacious, not only daring to lay a hand on him but also intending to send his head back to the Jiang family as a provocation. This was a severe slap in the face to the Jiang family and the greatest humiliation he could inflict upon himself.

"You...you will regret this, Li family! You will all pay the price for what happened today! Even if I, Jiang Liang, become a ghost, I will not let you go!" Jiang Liang swore fiercely in his heart. In his remaining consciousness, there was only endless hatred for the Li family. He clearly remembered everything the Li family had done to him. Every detail, every bit of pain, became fuel for his hatred, making the flame of revenge in his heart burn even more fiercely.

He knew that in his current miserable state, it was impossible to seek revenge on the Li family immediately, but as long as he had a sliver of hope and could return to the Jiang family, he would repay the Li family a thousandfold for the humiliation and pain he had suffered today.

Even if it costs him his life, even if it means a fight to the death with the Li family, he will never give up. He will definitely avenge this grudge!
Looking at Jiang Liang's hateful yet helpless expression, Li Xuan simply shook his head slightly, as if looking at a pitiful person who was already in dire straits but was still making a futile struggle.

"Then let's wait and see. I want to see what tricks your Jiang family can pull."

After saying that, he waved his hand, signaling the servants to quickly take Jiang Liang's head and send it to the Jiang family.
