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

Beyond the Jiang family, many other powerful families also sensed the mysterious and vast aura of the sacred artifact emanating from the Jiang family. In an instant, the mansions of all the major families were in an uproar.

In the Zhao family mansion not far from the Jiang family, the Zhao family head was in seclusion in a secret room, trying to break through the bottleneck of his cultivation. However, the sudden powerful aura instantly broke his cultivation state.

He suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with a sharp light. In a flash, he appeared in the courtyard of the mansion, looking up in the direction of the Jiang family, his face showing shock.

"This...this is the aura of the Jiang family's sacred artifact! What on earth happened that made the Jiang family go to such lengths to use such a treasure they've kept hidden away?" Patriarch Zhao muttered to himself, his brows furrowed, his heart filled with doubt and unease.

In his understanding, the Jiang family's sacred artifacts rarely appeared in the world. That meant that the Jiang family had encountered an extremely difficult situation, or even a crisis that might be related to the survival of the family. But in this Seven Star Immortal Dynasty, who could have such power to force the Jiang family to make such a big fuss?
At the same time, the heads of powerful families such as the Wang and Sun families were also startled by this aura and appeared on the high ground of their own mansions, looking solemnly in the direction of the Jiang family.

"What is the Jiang family up to? Could it be that they have been attacked by some hidden, powerful force? But in this Eastern Wilderness, what force would dare to confront the Jiang family head-on?" The Wang family head pondered to himself, his shock growing more and more evident. He knew the Jiang family's strength well; they would never use a sacred artifact unless they encountered an extremely powerful enemy. At this moment, his heart was filled with turmoil, and he began to worry whether this incident would affect his own family.

Patriarch Sun was also filled with disbelief. An elder beside him couldn't help but say, "Patriarch, the appearance of the Jiang family's sacred artifact must be a big deal. Should we send someone to find out what's going on?" Patriarch Sun nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Quickly send a few clever disciples. Remember not to reveal their identities, act carefully, and be sure to find out what exactly happened to the Jiang family."

Just as the various families were speculating and watching nervously, news gradually spread. When they learned that the Jiang family had used a sacred artifact simply because one of their most promising young members had been injured, and by someone from the previously unknown Li family, a new wave of shock instantly appeared on everyone's faces.

"What? The Jiang family mobilized a sacred weapon just because a prodigy was injured? This... this is making a mountain out of a molehill!" Patriarch Zhao's eyes widened, his voice rising several decibels in surprise. He never expected the reason for the matter to be so simple. In his view, even prodigies, nurtured by the family's abundant resources, were prone to death and injury. The Jiang family's mobilization of such a large force was simply beyond reason.

"The Jiang family is trying to establish their authority. It seems they want to use this move to declare to the entire Eastern Wilderness that even touching an ordinary member of their Jiang family is an offense against them, and they will not tolerate it." The Wang family head quickly recovered his senses, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said thoughtfully, his words revealing a hint of apprehension. He knew the deeper meaning behind the Jiang family's actions; they were using an extremely tough stance to maintain the family's prestige and prevent other forces from having the slightest intention to offend them.

"Even so, the cost of using a sacred weapon is enormous. The Jiang family is willing to go to such lengths for such a small matter. What exactly did the Li family do to make the Jiang family so desperate to eliminate them?" Patriarch Sun frowned, his face full of doubt. He really couldn't understand what abilities the small Li family had that could push the Jiang family to this point. You must know that once a sacred weapon is used, it will have a significant impact on the family's spiritual energy reserves and many other aspects. The Jiang family's resolute approach is truly perplexing.

Upon hearing this, the other powerful figures from various families were also in an uproar, discussing the matter animatedly. "The Jiang family has really gone all out this time. For the sake of a prodigy, they're willing to wipe out an entire family and even use a sacred weapon. The Li family has really stirred up a huge hornet's nest this time," a Zhao family steward said with a sigh, his eyes filled with sympathy for the Li family, while also being shocked by the Jiang family's ruthless methods.

"Hmph, why sympathize with the Li family? They should have expected this consequence if they dared to attack the Jiang family. It's just that we didn't expect the Jiang family to value their prestige so much and refuse to back down at all. We must be more careful in the future and never provoke the Jiang family." An elder from the Wang family solemnly reminded those around him, his awe for the Jiang family growing even stronger.

"That's true, but isn't the Jiang family afraid of provoking dissatisfaction from other families by making such a big fuss? After all, what if their reckless use of sacred weapons affects others?" A powerful member of the Sun family said with a frown, his words causing those around him to fall into deep thought.

Although the various families in this Eastern Wilderness usually live in peace, the Jiang family's reckless use of sacred weapons could indeed have a significant impact on the surrounding area. If they accidentally injure members of other families, it would inevitably lead to some unnecessary conflicts.

Just as everyone was lost in their own thoughts and discussing the Jiang family's actions, the commotion from the Jiang family's side grew even larger. The dark clouds in the sky grew thicker and thicker, their blackness seeming to swallow the entire world. Lightning flashed and darted through the clouds, and from time to time, low rumbling sounds could be heard, as if the heavens and earth were roaring in anger.

The ground trembled more and more violently, and some small buildings closer to the Jiang family even began to crack and sway, as if they would collapse at any moment.

The mysterious aura permeating the air above the Jiang family was extremely dense, like an ancient behemoth opening its blood-red maw, radiating a chilling pressure that surged in all directions.

Wherever this aura reached, whether cultivators or ordinary mortals, they all felt a sense of oppression from the depths of their souls, as if the slightest movement would be instantly crushed by this power.

The members of the various families were even more shocked by the extraordinary phenomenon that had occurred at the Jiang family's home. They knew that the Jiang family had unleashed the power of their sacred weapon to an extremely terrifying degree. The attack that was about to be released would likely have earth-shattering power, and the Li family would probably be completely annihilated under such an attack, disappearing from this Eastern Wilderness.

"This Jiang family... they're truly ruthless. It seems the Li family is doomed. We'd better quickly tell everyone in our families to stay away from the Jiang family, lest they be affected by the residual power of this sacred weapon; that would be a great injustice." The Zhao family head hurriedly instructed the steward beside him, his expression tense, not daring to slacken in the slightest. The heads of the other families also issued similar orders.
