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

The scene unfolded so suddenly and was so shocking that everyone present seemed to be frozen in place, their minds blank, unable to recover for a moment.

Silence, a deathly silence enveloped the space, with only a lingering scent of blood in the air, seemingly reminding everyone that the cruel and unbelievable scene that had just unfolded was real.

After an unknown amount of time, someone finally came to their senses. It was an elder of the Jiang family. His eyes were wide open, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets. The muscles in his face twitched uncontrollably from the shock, and his lips trembled. After a long while, he managed to squeeze out a broken sentence: "Ancestor... this... how is this possible?"

His voice was hoarse and trembling, filled with a deep-seated fear and despair. His hand, which had been holding a cane, was now shaking violently. The cane fell to the ground with a clatter, but he was oblivious to it. He just stared intently at the pool of flesh and blood that had once belonged to Jiang Ziliang, his eyes filled with confusion and helplessness.

As the elder exclaimed, the other members of the Jiang family also awoke as if from a dream. In an instant, shouts, cries, and incredulous curses mingled together, like a surging tide that instantly engulfed the space.

"No! Impossible! How could our ancestor die? He was Jiang Ziliang, the guardian of our Jiang family, the peerless expert with double pupils who almost suppressed an era! How could he... how could he be so easily... turned into a pile of flesh and blood!" A Jiang family disciple screamed hysterically, his face filled with terror. His body moved backward uncontrollably, as if he had seen the most terrifying demon in the world. His legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, tears streaming uncontrollably down his face. But he was completely unaware of this, immersed only in endless shock and despair.

"What... what kind of method is this? How strong is the Li family patriarch? Even the Jiang family patriarch... was powerless against him. Our Jiang family... our Jiang family is really finished now!" A Jiang family steward clutched his head and squatted down in anguish. His voice was filled with despair and helplessness. The flame of hope that had been ignited by the appearance of Jiang Ziliang was now completely extinguished by Li Xuan's casual finger. Moreover, it was extinguished so thoroughly that not even a spark remained, leaving only a dark and cold abyss of despair, from which they were trapped and unable to extricate themselves.

The members of various families around them, who had initially felt a bit of schadenfreude towards the Jiang family, were now terrified and pale. They stared wide-eyed at the horrific scene, their shock washing over them like waves of turbulent water.

"My God, this...this is too terrifying! Jiang Ziliang, that's a legendary figure, a quasi-emperor with double pupils, and he was actually wiped out by the Li family patriarch with a single finger? This is beyond my imagination! Just who is this Li family patriarch? Has his strength become so unbelievably powerful?" A cultivator from the Zhao family was deathly pale, his voice becoming shrill with fear. He subconsciously took several steps back, wanting to stay away from Li Xuan, as if afraid that he too would be wiped out instantly by that seemingly casual method, just like Jiang Ziliang.

"Yes, we originally thought that with Jiang Ziliang involved, even if the Jiang family couldn't completely resolve this crisis, they could at least put up a fight with the Li family's patriarch. But who would have thought that the result would be like this... Jiang Ziliang is like an ant in front of him, completely powerless. We were thinking of finding an opportunity to build a relationship with the Li family before, but now it seems that it's best to stay away from them. Such a powerful person is truly terrifying!" An elder from the Wang family said with a look of horror on his face, wiping the large beads of sweat from his forehead. His body was also trembling slightly. His fear of Li Xuan had risen to an unprecedented level. He secretly rejoiced that his family had not made any enemies with Li Xuan, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Hmph, no matter what, the Jiang family is completely finished. We were hoping they could turn things around with Jiang Ziliang, but now, even Jiang Ziliang is gone. What do they have left to rely on? The Li family patriarch is clearly determined to wipe out the entire Jiang family. Let's wait and see how this ends. But from now on, I'm afraid no one in the Eastern Wilderness will dare to provoke the Li family." A steward from the Sun family, though trying to appear calm, betrayed his inner fear with a slightly trembling voice. Looking at the despair of the Jiang family members, he felt a mix of emotions: regret for the Jiang family's destruction, deep apprehension about the Li family's power, and also contemplation on how his own family could better survive in this world of powerful cultivators. Outside the Jiang family, the people looked at Li Xuan as if he were a demon from the deepest hell, filled with awe and fear. They didn't dare utter a sound; the entire scene was shrouded in an extremely oppressive and panicked atmosphere.

After the initial shock and despair, a deep sense of sorrow and despair gradually welled up in the hearts of the Jiang family members. Looking at the pool of flesh and blood that symbolized the last hope of the Jiang family, they felt as if the whole world had collapsed.

The once glorious Jiang family, with its illustrious reputation, profound heritage, and countless proud past achievements, has now fallen into such a miserable state due to a sin within the family and for offending someone it shouldn't have. Even the patriarch has perished; what hope is there for them to survive?
"It's over, everything is over... Our Jiang family is going to disappear completely today. This is all our sin. We have wronged Young Master Jiang Yu and brought this annihilation upon us..." A female disciple of the Jiang family sobbed uncontrollably. She slumped to the ground, her eyes empty and desperate, muttering to herself as if she had lost all vitality and was just waiting for the final judgment to come.

The entire Jiang family was now shrouded in a gloom of despair. The previous cheers and jubilation had vanished without a trace, replaced by a deathly silence of despair and helplessness. They knew that the fate of the Jiang family was irreversible, and perhaps only destruction awaited them.

He died as soon as he raised his hand! He died as soon as he raised his hand!
That's terrifying!

This has terrified the Jiang family!

Jiang Ming was terrified. How could this be? How could the Li family patriarch be so powerful?!
Can one turn their hand to make clouds or rain?!
He shattered their quasi-emperor ancestor with a single finger?!
Unbelievable, utterly unbelievable.

This is outrageous!
If a quasi-emperor ancestor could be killed with a single finger, then what kind of strength does the Li family ancestor possess?!
