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

Outside the Divine Mansion of Marquis Wu, the news spread like wildfire. Upon hearing this, cultivators from all sides were astonished, and the streets and alleys were abuzz with discussion.

"Have you heard? One of the Jiang family's prodigies was actually murdered, and the murderer even sent his head back to the Jiang family! That's incredibly audacious!" A cultivator in a gray robe stared wide-eyed at his companion beside him, his face filled with disbelief and shock.

"That's right! The Jiang family is a force to be reckoned with in our Seven Star Immortal Dynasty. Who would dare to provoke them normally? Now someone actually dares to lay a hand on the Jiang family's prodigy. Isn't that asking for trouble? I think this murderer is just a newborn calf that doesn't know its own strength. He dares to provoke the Jiang family, this big tiger. Isn't that just courting death?" His companion nodded repeatedly, shaking his head as he spoke, as if he could already see the murderer's tragic end.

"What's even more unexpected is that I heard it was done by a small family called the Li family. Hmph, I've never heard of the Li family before. I thought they were some big family that had emerged from some obscure corner. I didn't expect that such an unknown little family would have such audacity to openly oppose the Jiang family. They really don't know their own limitations!" Another cultivator came over and said with a face full of disdain. His eyes revealed deep contempt for the Li family. In his opinion, a small family should behave itself. To provoke a behemoth like the Jiang family was simply courting death.

Upon hearing this, the others around also showed expressions of surprise and began to discuss it amongst themselves.

"What kind of foundation could a small family have to dare to mess with the Jiang family? Do they have some incredible backing? But even if they do, the Jiang family is not to be trifled with. They are a powerful family with a deep foundation and many strong experts. The Li family is likely to be uprooted." An old man stroked his beard, frowned slightly, and said thoughtfully. He had been wandering in the cultivation world for many years and knew the Jiang family's strength well. He really couldn't understand where the Li family got their confidence.

"I guess the Li family acted rashly and impulsively. Now look what's happened, they've made such a mess. The Jiang family definitely won't let this go. I think the Li family is about to face a major disaster, and the entire family will probably be wiped out of the cultivation world." A young female cultivator covered her mouth and chuckled. Although her words were somewhat teasing, they truly reflected what everyone was thinking. In their view, the Jiang family, having suffered such humiliation, would definitely use all their strength to retaliate against the Li family, and the Li family would have no chance to resist.

"However, since the Li family dared to make a move, they might actually have some secrets we don't know about. Think about it, if they didn't have some confidence, who would dare to blatantly provoke the Jiang family? Maybe the Li family is hiding some powerful trump card, they just haven't revealed it yet." A seemingly shrewd cultivator suddenly spoke up, his words startling everyone, who then fell into deep thought.

"So what if they have a trump card? The Jiang family is a powerful family that has stood the test of time for many years, weathering countless storms. They have a very deep foundation. What kind of trouble can a small Li family cause? I think the Li family is digging their own grave. This time, they have completely offended the Jiang family." A burly man said in a deep voice, waving his thick arm with a confident look on his face, clearly not optimistic about the Li family.

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing his words. In their minds, the power of the Jiang family was undeniable, and it was simply a pipe dream for a small, unheard-of family to try to contend with them.

Those smaller families and independent cultivators who already harbored resentment towards the Jiang family but dared not speak out were now experiencing mixed feelings. On one hand, they secretly gloated, thinking that the Jiang family had suffered a great loss this time, and their usual arrogance had finally been suppressed; on the other hand, they were shocked and puzzled by the Li family's reckless actions. After all, if the Jiang family were to lose their temper, it would be no joke, and the Li family's actions could very well affect the power structure of the entire Eastern Wilderness.

"Alas, the Li family is quite reckless. With their actions, our Eastern Wilderness is likely to be thrown into turmoil. The Jiang family will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, and there will inevitably be a bloodbath. We small families must stay far away and avoid being caught in the crossfire," said the patriarch of a small family with deep concern. He knew the Jiang family's vengeful nature and knew that this would surely unleash a bloodbath. In this storm, their small families were like fragile boats, easily capsized.

"Yes, whatever the Li family's motives are, they've really stirred up a hornet's nest this time. Let's just wait and see. Hopefully, this storm won't affect us." Another elder from a small family sighed helplessly, his face full of helplessness and worry. These small forces usually have to survive between the major families. Now, faced with such a change, they can only pray that they can stay out of it.

Meanwhile, the Jiang family was in complete turmoil, with the clan's strongest members gathering to discuss how to retaliate against the Li family.

Jiang Liang's misfortune was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up huge waves. The prestige of the Jiang family was challenged like never before. They had to make the Li family pay a heavy price in order to save face for the Jiang family and let the entire cultivation world know just how terrible the consequences of offending the Jiang family are.

"No matter what the Li family has to rely on, we must make them pay for their crimes in blood this time. I suggest we immediately gather the elite forces of our clan and attack the Li family directly, catching them off guard and letting them know the power of the Jiang family!" A hot-tempered steward said angrily, his eyes flashing with fury, wishing he could immediately lead his clansmen to charge into the Li family and raze them to the ground.

"We mustn't act impulsively. Although the Li family is a small clan, since they dared to attack our Jiang family, they must have made preparations. We should send people to investigate first, find out their background, and then make a plan," a more composed elder advised with a frown. He knew the principle of knowing yourself and your enemy to win every battle. Although he was also filled with anger, he still maintained a sliver of rationality and did not want the family to act rashly and fall into unnecessary danger.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Do you think the Jiang family is afraid of some Li family? We can wipe out the Li family with one hand!"

"The Li family has a Saint King!" (End of Chapter)
