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

Just as the heads of various families were instructing their members to stay away from the Jiang family to avoid being affected, a slightly abrupt voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.

"Hey, do you guys think it's possible that the Li family can withstand the Jiang family's attack this time? Maybe they have some hidden tricks up their sleeves." The speaker was a young member of the Zhao family. He looked at everyone with curiosity, a strange expectation flashing in his eyes. After all, in his opinion, the cultivation world was full of variables, and maybe the Li family could really create some miracle.

However, as soon as he said this, a brief silence fell over the surroundings, followed by a burst of laughter. The heads of the various families shook their heads, their faces full of disdain and sneer.

"Hahaha, you brat, you probably haven't seen the power of the Jiang family's sacred artifact yet. That's a quasi-emperor weapon! In front of such a divine weapon, all those below the quasi-emperor level are nothing but ants. Do you think that little Li family has any means to resist it? That's just wishful thinking!" The Zhao family head laughed loudly, his laughter filled with undisguised mockery. He turned to look at the young disciple, his eyes filled with a hint of disappointment, as if blaming him for saying such childish things.

"Exactly, exactly. Few people even know the Li family's name normally. They're probably just a small family that barely managed to grow up thanks to some luck. Even if they have a Saint King realm expert as a backer, so what? Under the full force of the Jiang family's sacred artifact, a Saint King realm expert is nothing more than a mantis trying to stop a chariot, completely powerless to fight back." The Wang family head also sneered, shaking his head slightly as he spoke. In his mind, the difference between the Li family and the Jiang family was like heaven and earth; this was simply a one-sided crushing defeat.

"Hmph, let alone the Li family, even our families would have to think twice about whether we have the ability to withstand the Jiang family's sacred artifact. That kind of world-destroying power is not something that just any force can contend with. The Li family is completely finished this time. They still dare to try to resist? It's just wishful thinking." The Sun family head curled his lips in disdain, his eyes full of contempt for the Li family. In his opinion, the Li family's provocation of the Jiang family this time was purely courting death, and they shouldn't have had any illusions.

The powerful figures from other families echoed this sentiment, each taking turns mocking the Li family.

"The Li family probably still doesn't realize the extent of their mess. They thought they could mess with the Jiang family with their meager strength. Well, look what's happened. They're about to be blasted into dust by the Jiang family's sacred artifact. It's utterly laughable," an elder from the Zhao family said with a sneer, his words full of schadenfreude.

"Sigh, the Li family is really reckless. They didn't think about the consequences before they acted. What kind of existence is the Jiang family? They are a powerful family that can do whatever they want in the Seven Star Immortal Dynasty. How could they allow a small family like the Li family to provoke their prestige? Now they have ended up like this, which is their own fault." A steward of the Wang family shook his head and sighed. Although he said it was a word of regret, the expression on his face clearly mocked the Li family's overestimation of their own abilities.

"I think the Li family probably doesn't even understand why the Jiang family attacked them, and they're about to be wiped out in a daze. In our Eastern Wilderness, they'll probably become a laughing stock. In the future, if anyone is blind enough to provoke a powerful force, they can use the Li family as a negative example to teach them a lesson," a powerful member of the Sun family joked, eliciting another burst of laughter from the surrounding crowd.

Amidst the laughter and mockery, everyone had already accepted the fate of the Li family as a foregone conclusion. In their eyes, the Li family could not possibly survive the attack of the Jiang family's sacred artifact. Such power was enough to raze the area where the Li family was located to the ground and reduce everything to nothing.

"Don't forget, the Jiang family's sacred artifact is not only incredibly powerful, but it also has the miraculous ability to deduce celestial secrets and pinpoint locations. Even if the Li family wanted to hide, they probably wouldn't have anywhere to hide. They can only obediently wait to suffer this annihilation." A knowledgeable old man stroked his beard and said slowly. His words made everyone nod in agreement again, making them even more convinced that the Li family was doomed this time.

Meanwhile, the strange phenomenon above the Jiang family's residence grew increasingly terrifying. The thick, ink-like clouds began to swirl wildly, forming a massive black vortex. Within the vortex, lightning raged, and every now and then, thick bolts of lightning, like dragons, would emerge from the clouds and strike downwards. Each strike was accompanied by a deafening roar, as if it were about to cleave the heavens and the earth in two.

The ground was trembling violently to the extreme. In many places near the Jiang family, houses collapsed, raising clouds of dust. Ordinary people were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, praying incessantly that the disaster would pass as soon as possible.

Inside the Jiang family mansion, Jiang Shu remained completely focused on manipulating the sacred chessboard artifact. His face grew increasingly pale, and beads of sweat dripped from his forehead like rain, yet his hands remained firmly placed on the chessboard, not daring to slacken in the slightest.

As he continuously poured in spiritual power and used that ancient secret technique, the light on the chessboard had reached its peak, and the power that was about to destroy everything was about to reach its critical point. It seemed that at the next moment, it would break through the constraints of space and blast towards the location of the Li family.

The members of various families watched this scene from afar. Although they were full of disdain and ridicule for the Li family, they were also truly shocked by the power displayed by the Jiang family's sacred artifact. They knew that if their families were in the position of the Li family, they would probably not be able to withstand such a terrifying attack either. For a moment, their awe for the Jiang family deepened in their hearts, and they were also secretly glad that their families had not provoked such a powerful family in the past.

The crowd chattered amongst themselves, as if they could already foresee the tragic end of the Li family being obliterated by the Jiang family's sacred artifact. In their eyes, the destruction of the Li family was a foregone conclusion, with absolutely no room for maneuver.

"Sigh, the Li family has only themselves to blame. But with the Jiang family so powerful, I'm afraid no one will dare to provoke them in the Eastern Wilderness anymore. We need to be even more careful in our actions."

A clan patriarch sighed softly, a hint of helplessness in his expression. Although they felt little sympathy for the Li family's fate, the Jiang family's unbridled use of a sacred weapon to establish their authority put them under immense pressure. They knew that in the cultivation world where strength reigned supreme, those whose own power was insufficient risked being crushed by other powerful forces. Inside the Jiang family mansion, veins bulged on Jiang Shu's forehead as he strained to maintain the spiritual connection with the chessboard artifact. As he continuously poured his spiritual energy into it, the changes on the chessboard became increasingly astonishing.

With his cultivation level, he naturally couldn't use such a sacred artifact; he was merely a Saint King, while this was a quasi-Emperor weapon.

Without the support of the Jiang family's resources, he would have been drained dry by a full-force attack from a quasi-emperor weapon long ago.

The reason for this was that Jiang Tian wanted to demonstrate the prestige of the Jiang family.

At this moment, the originally crisscrossing and shimmering patterns seemed to come alive, moving wildly and weaving together a series of dreamlike and mysterious scenes.

In the void above the chessboard, a clear image gradually emerges, revealing the result of deducing the secrets of heaven.

In the scene, an elderly man dressed in black appears.

Jiang Shu quickly said, "Patriarch, we've found it."

Jiang Tian hummed in agreement, completely unconcerned. In his eyes, a Saint King was not even worth his attention.

"Release the footage and let others see it."

This move was naturally intended to demonstrate the prestige of the Jiang family.

The image appeared before everyone's eyes.

As everyone looked at the scene in the sky, they exclaimed in admiration, "This is the sacred artifact of the Jiang family, a quasi-emperor weapon!"

How could a sage king from the Li family possibly withstand it?

Just then, the image suddenly shrank, and a human figure was reflected in the image again.

Everyone was stunned. What did that mean?
Does the Li family have two sage kings?

However, at this moment, the screen moved again.
