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

A disciple of the Jiang family subconsciously rubbed his eyes, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing, muttering to himself, "I...am I seeing things? This...how is this possible? The Supreme...how did the Supreme run away?"

His voice trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with confusion and disbelief. His eyes, which had brightened with hope, were now filled with despair and bewilderment once again.

An elder from the Jiang family standing nearby also stared wide-eyed, frozen in place for a long while before finally regaining his senses. He stammered, "What... what exactly happened? We just thought our Jiang family was saved. That was a Supreme Being! How could he... how could he suddenly run away? Could it be that there is some even more terrifying existence that made him afraid to stay?"

As he spoke, he looked around as if trying to find some reason in his surroundings, but all he could see were the Jiang family members who were equally astonished, and the space that was still filled with a tense atmosphere.

The entire Jiang family fell into a deathly silence. Everyone seemed to have their souls ripped out, staring blankly in the direction where the Supreme One had left. Their minds were blank, and all their expectations shattered like bubbles in that instant.

The joy and relief of surviving the ordeal had barely been savored before this sudden turn of events swept away all of it, leaving only endless shock and despair spreading through my heart.

"The Supreme One ran away? This...this is ridiculous! Our Jiang family is already at a critical juncture of life and death, how could he just run away like that?" A man who looked like a steward finally couldn't help but shout loudly, his voice filled with deep grief and resentment. His fists were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the force, and his body was trembling slightly. He seemed to be venting all the anger in his heart, but he seemed so powerless in the face of this cruel reality.

"Yes, we were just hoping that the Supreme One would come to our aid, thinking that the Jiang family could escape this calamity and regain its footing in this Eastern Wilderness. But now... what is this? Is our Jiang family really beyond saving?" A female disciple of the Jiang family had red eyes, tears welling up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall. Her voice was tinged with sobs, and her words were full of worry about the fate of her family and disappointment at the sudden departure of the Supreme One.

The Jiang family members around them also came to their senses one after another. Immediately, all kinds of noises mingled together: angry curses, desperate cries, and unwilling pleas. But no matter how they vented their emotions, they could not change the cruel fact before them—the supreme ruler of the forbidden zone on whom they had placed so much hope had really fled without looking back.

"Why is this happening? Our Jiang family has some connections with the Xuanming Forbidden Zone, and we usually have many interactions. Why is the Supreme One abandoning us at this crucial moment?" A guest elder of the Jiang family frowned, his face full of doubt and helplessness. He had thought that with the powerful figure behind the Jiang family, he could escape this disaster, but now it seemed that everything had been in vain, and his fate seemed to have fallen into endless darkness along with the Jiang family.

"Hmph, we revered him so much, eagerly hoping he would come to save us. It turns out that in his eyes, our Jiang family is not even worth his attention. What kind of supreme being is he? He's nothing but a coward who fears death!" A young, hot-blooded Jiang family disciple said resentfully, his eyes red. Although his words were full of resentment towards Emperor Yun, his eyes still concealed an undisguised despair. After all, without this last reliance, they couldn't think of any other way for the Jiang family to escape this annihilation.

Those members of various families and many old monsters who were originally waiting near the Jiang family to watch the showdown between the two supreme beings were also stunned by this dramatic scene.

"What... what's going on? Where did the Supreme Being from the Forbidden Zone behind the Jiang family go? I thought I was going to witness an earth-shattering battle between Supreme Beings today. This is too unexpected!" A cultivator from the Zhao family stared wide-eyed, his face full of disbelief. He scratched his head, as if he hadn't recovered from this sudden turn of events. The tension and anticipation in his heart had now turned into deep confusion.

"Yes, who could have imagined this outcome? That was a Supreme Being, yet he slunk away like that. It seems the Jiang family's affairs are far more complicated than we imagined. Even a Supreme Being dared not get involved. What secrets are hidden behind this?" An elder from the Wang family stroked his chin thoughtfully, his eyes revealing a hint of inquiry. He was increasingly curious about the reasons behind this turn of events, and at the same time, he was secretly glad that he hadn't gotten involved in the Jiang family's conflict too early. Otherwise, he would probably be suffering the consequences now.

The people around them began to whisper among themselves, their voices rising and falling, their faces filled with shock and confusion, creating a chaotic and noisy atmosphere.

In mid-air, Emperor Yun transformed into a streak of light, fleeing swiftly towards the Xuanming Forbidden Zone. His expression was more solemn than ever before, and his heart was filled with turbulent waves.

"How could it be him? How could he be here? No, I absolutely cannot get involved in this today. Even if I am criticized for being cowardly, it is better than losing my life!" Emperor Yun thought to himself as he sped along, and fine beads of sweat even appeared on his forehead. His calm and confident demeanor had long since disappeared, and now only fear and apprehension about the unknown danger remained.

He never expected to encounter such a terrifying figure in the Jiang family. So, the moment he saw Li Xuan clearly, he chose to flee without hesitation, not caring about the fate of the Jiang family or his own reputation.

In addition, he felt that the figure was very familiar.

It's so, so familiar!
It instilled a tremendous sense of panic in him!

Li Xuan looked at the Jiang family, smiled slightly, and teased, "It seems that the supreme being behind your Jiang family doesn't want to save you."

The head of the Jiang family was instantly enraged. He roared to the sky, "This is impossible! How could the Supreme One abandon us? Our Jiang family has always respected him and offered him tributes every year. How could he be so heartless!"

The patriarch's face was flushed red with anger, his eyes wide open as if they were about to spit fire, his body trembled slightly, his hands were clenched into fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms without him even noticing, it was a kind of anger and despair after being betrayed.

Jiang Tianming was also completely bewildered and confused. He stared blankly in the direction the Supreme had left, muttering repeatedly, "The Supreme ran away? How could he have run away? Why did that happen?"

His brows were furrowed, his eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment, and his once intelligent gaze had become empty and lifeless.

He couldn't understand why the usually aloof and omnipotent Supreme would flee in disarray at this crucial moment. This was so different from the invincible image he held in his mind that it made his worldview seem to collapse at that moment.

"Could there truly be something more terrifying than a Supreme Being? But why have we never heard of it?" Jiang Tianming muttered to himself, his heart filled with resentment and doubt. He tried to find a reasonable explanation, but his mind was a complete mess, unable to make sense of it. The surrounding Jiang family members echoed the patriarch's roar and Jiang Tianming's doubts, plunging the entire Jiang family into chaos and despair. Looking at Li Xuan, who was still smiling, a sense of powerlessness welled up in their hearts. What they had thought was their lifeline had now vanished, and the enemy before them was so powerful and composed. The future of the Jiang family seemed to be nothing but darkness.

In various sacred sites throughout the Eastern Wilderness, even the holy lords were stunned by the dramatic and terrifying scene before them, unable to recover for a long time.

The Holy Lord of Tianyuan Holy Land stared wide-eyed at the airspace in the direction of the Jiang family, his face filled with disbelief. He muttered to himself, "The Supreme Being who came out of the Xuanming Forbidden Zone actually ran away? This is unheard of! That was a being standing at the pinnacle of the cultivation world. What situation could have made him flee in such a panic? Could it really be, as everyone suspects, because of another unknown Supreme Being? But if that's the case, when did such a great god appear in this Eastern Wilderness that even the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone fears?"

His brows furrowed, and the shock in his heart was like a surging tide, one wave after another impacting his usually calm state of mind. He almost dropped the jade ruyi he had been playing with.

The Holy Master of the Star Sect was equally astonished. He paced back and forth, his eyes filled with deep doubt and confusion. As he pondered, he said, "This matter is too strange. The Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zones are always mysterious and incredibly powerful, rarely appearing in the world. Their appearance for the Jiang family was already unexpected, but now they're fleeing in such a panic. They must have sensed immense danger. Could it be that that Supreme Being... truly possesses a terrifying background and strength unknown to us? If he is also a Supreme Being, or even someone surpassing a Supreme Being, then the future situation in the Eastern Wilderness will be completely chaotic!"

His voice trembled slightly as he realized that what had happened to the Jiang family today would likely be like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, creating a huge upheaval throughout the Eastern Wilderness. Their holy sects would inevitably be caught in the crossfire, and their future days would probably never be peaceful again.

What kind of existence transcends the realm of the Supreme Being?
Or perhaps the Supreme Being of the Xuanming Forbidden Zone has an urgent matter?!
The Holy Master of the Purple Cloud Holy Land stood atop the sect's high platform, gazing at the ever-changing skies above the Jiang family in the distance. His expression was extremely grave. He said in a deep voice, "Regardless of the circumstances, we must send people to investigate this matter thoroughly. The secrets hidden behind this may concern the safety of the entire Eastern Wilderness. But now, the Jiang family... I'm afraid they are in grave danger. Alas, once a prominent family, now they are in such a desperate situation. It's truly lamentable." He shook his head slightly, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes, but even more so, worry about the unknown situation.

The holy lords of the other holy lands also gathered together, their voices rising and falling in discussion. Every face was filled with shock and confusion. They simply couldn't understand what kind of power could have caused what was originally a confrontation between two supreme beings to instantly transform into such an incomprehensible situation.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere at the Jiang family's side was extremely oppressive, with despair overwhelming every member of the Jiang family like a tidal wave.

Li Xuan looked at the Jiang family members who were in chaos and despair, his face still bearing that indifferent smile, which carried a cold undertone.

"Hmph, since your Jiang family has committed crimes and yet attempted to escape punishment by relying on others, it seems that no one in this world can save you now." Li Xuan said coldly, then slowly raised his palm. In an instant, an immense power surged from his palm, a power that seemed to gather all the might in the world. As the light shone, faint patterns of laws flowed within it, emanating a terrifying aura of destruction.

Before the Jiang family could recover from the shock of the Supreme Being's escape, Li Xuan's palm had already struck down.

The enormous palm shadow, carrying earth-shattering power, pressed down fiercely towards the location of the Jiang family. Wherever it passed, the space was compressed and emitted mournful cries, as if it could not bear the weight, and cracks spread out like a spider web.

The Jiang family members had no time to put up any resistance. The palm strike fell like a devastating blow, instantly crushing their bodies. Their souls didn't even have time to escape before being completely annihilated by the terrifying power.

For a moment, not even a scream could be heard, and the entire area where the Jiang family lived fell into a deathly silence, with only the flying dust proving that many vibrant lives had once existed here.

Then, Li Xuan waved his hand lightly, and a beam of light flashed. He took away all the remaining traces of the Jiang family's aura, magical treasures, and various resources formed from the family's foundation. It was as if all traces of the Jiang family's existence in this world had been completely erased by him in that instant.

This scene completely stunned everyone present. Their eyes widened, their mouths gaped open as if they could fit an egg in them, and their faces were filled with horror and disbelief.

"The Jiang family... just like that, gone?! This... this is too terrifying! Just a moment ago, the Jiang family was bustling with activity, with many clansmen, even trying to turn their fortunes around by relying on the Supreme Being, and in the blink of an eye, they were wiped out completely, without even a trace left!" A cultivator from the Zhao family had a changed tone in his voice, filled with a sense of relief at surviving a calamity and a deep fear of that powerful force. He subconsciously took several steps back, as if afraid that he would also be easily crushed by that invisible hand like the members of the Jiang family.

"Yes, just who is this Li Xuan? He's so ruthless and decisive, wiping out a family that has been passed down for many years with a wave of his hand. Even the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone was scared away. His strength... is probably beyond our imagination. From now on, I'm afraid no one in the Eastern Wilderness will dare to provoke him!" An elder of the Wang family wiped the large beads of sweat from his forehead, his face full of lingering fear. His fear of Li Xuan had risen to an unprecedented level. He secretly decided that when he returned, he would definitely warn the family members to stay as far away from Li Xuan as possible in the future and never offend him in the slightest.

Those members of various families and many old monsters who had been waiting nearby to watch the show were now completely silent, not daring to utter a sound. The entire scene fell into a deathly silence. Only the lingering spatial fluctuations proved that the terrifying scene just now was not an illusion. The destruction of the Jiang family was destined to become a chilling legend that would be passed down for a long time in the Eastern Wilderness.

Li Xuan took a step and vanished instantly.

The departing Emperor Yun paused slightly. The Jiang family was wiped out?

So what if they're wiped out? What business is it of theirs?!
Just then, a voice came from behind.

"Fellow Taoist, please stay."
