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

This sudden scene plunged the entire square into a deathly silence, followed by a chorus of gasps. Everyone seemed frozen in place, staring blankly at Jiang Cheng kneeling on the ground, their faces filled with astonishment and shock. For a moment, their brains seemed to stop functioning, completely unable to comprehend what was happening.

The Linlang Academy disciples, who had been cheering for Jiang Cheng and eagerly anticipating his punishment of Jiang Yu and the painful price he would pay, now had incredibly interesting expressions on their faces. Their smug and triumphant expressions froze instantly, replaced by unbelievable astonishment.

"This...how is this possible? Why did Teacher Jiang Cheng suddenly kneel down? He was just looking like he was going to beat that guy to a pulp. What happened?" The young disciple with rosy cheeks stared wide-eyed, his voice becoming somewhat shrill from shock. He subconsciously loosened his clenched fists, pointed at Jiang Cheng kneeling on the ground, his hands trembling slightly as if he had witnessed the most unbelievable thing in the world.

"Impossible! Teacher Jiang Cheng is a Void Realm expert. Dealing with a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator like Jiang Yu would be a piece of cake for him. How could he... how could he suddenly kneel down? Did Jiang Yu use some strange method? But we didn't detect any unusual spiritual energy fluctuations." The tall female disciple next to her was also full of doubt. Her arms, which had been crossed over her chest, had already fallen to her sides. Her eyes were full of shock and confusion, and she kept muttering to herself.

"My God, am I seeing things? Teacher Jiang Cheng, such a formidable figure, actually knelt before that madman in front of everyone. If this gets out, where will our Linlang Academy put its face?" The honest-looking disciple scratched his head, looking incredulous. He even rubbed his eyes, as if that would make the scene disappear and restore the image he had imagined: Jiang Cheng beating Jiang Yu to a pulp.

"This is absolutely impossible! How could Teacher Jiang Cheng kneel down to him? There must be some hidden story we don't know about. Maybe he's using some special technique to deliberately show weakness in order to lure Jiang Yu into a trap. It must be like this, it must be like this..." The disciple with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes forced himself to calm down.

Meanwhile, the cultivators who had been watching the commotion not far from the square were also in an uproar. Everyone was talking at once, and the noise instantly broke the original silence.

"Oh dear, this is really strange. Jiang Cheng was so imposing just a moment ago, how come he's suddenly kneeling on the ground? Could it be that Jiang Yu really has some powerful figure secretly helping him? Otherwise, this just doesn't make sense." The middle-aged cultivator in the brown robe with a full beard stroked his chin, his brows furrowed, his eyes full of curiosity and doubt. He just couldn't understand how the situation could have changed so dramatically.

"Yeah, I thought Jiang Yu was doomed today, but unexpectedly, Jiang Cheng knelt down instead. This reversal is too amazing. Do you think Teacher Jiang Cheng might have been hit by some powerful illusion or restriction? Otherwise, with his strength and temper, how could he do such a thing?" The thin-faced young cultivator with a shrewd look in his eyes chimed in. As he spoke, he kept looking around the arena, trying to glean some clues from the expressions of Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yu.

"Hmph, whatever the reason, this is too strange. It seems that Jiang Yu is not a simple character. I underestimated him before. This is going to be a good show. I wonder how Linlang Academy will deal with it. After all, Teacher Jiang Cheng's kneeling has completely disgraced the academy." The female cultivator in the pink gauze dress frowned slightly, her eyes showing worry. She knew the status of Linlang Academy in the Seven Star Immortal Dynasty.

"Tsk tsk, this has really blown up. I thought it was just a one-sided crushing defeat, but it's turned into such a baffling situation. I'd like to see what other tricks Jiang Yu has up his sleeve, and how Jiangcheng will handle this." The burly cultivator carrying the giant sword clicked his tongue, his face full of excitement. He seemed eager to see how things would unfold, after all, such a wonderful and bizarre scene was not something one could see often.

At this moment, Jiang Cheng, who was kneeling on the ground, still had the look of astonishment on his face. His eyes were wide open, filled with shock and anger. He couldn't understand how he could have suddenly knelt down uncontrollably when he was just about to teach Jiang Yu a lesson. Moreover, no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't stand up at all. It was as if an invisible and extremely powerful force was suppressing him and making him unable to move.

"You...you're asking for death!! Ah!! How dare you humiliate me like this, I will definitely tear you to pieces!" Jiang Cheng gritted his teeth, glaring fiercely at Jiang Yu, his gaze seeming to want to devour Jiang Yu alive. But even though he was furious to the extreme, he could only kneel on the ground in humiliation, which made his face even more ugly. The sense of humiliation in his heart surged like a tide, almost drowning him.

Jiang Yu had been prepared to fight to the death, but this unexpected turn of events left him stunned. He quickly recovered, a mocking smile flashing in his eyes as he coldly looked at Jiang Cheng and said, "Hmph, what? You were just arrogantly telling me to kneel, and now you're kneeling yourself. How does it feel? Is this the prestige of your Linlang Academy? Nothing special." "Senior Tianyi, was it you who made the move?"

Jiang Yu's lips moved slightly; he believed that Senior Tianyi could hear him.

"No, it's the Ancestor,"

Tianyi's voice rang in his ears. Jiang Yu was stunned, and a look of joy appeared on his face. The ancestor had actually come!?
What the hell is he afraid of?!
[You have shocked the chosen one of destiny, Jiang Yu, and gained 9999 villain points and your lifespan has increased by 9.]

While everyone was still reeling from the shock and buzzing with discussion, Jiang Yu showed no sign of letting Jiang Cheng off the hook. He slowly took a few steps forward, stood before Jiang Cheng, and looked down at him with disdain and hatred in his eyes. He coldly said, "Weren't you so arrogant? You were just saying you wanted me dead. Now get up and try to kill me again. What? Are you kneeling here begging for mercy? Too bad, I won't let you off so easily. I will take back everything your Linlang Academy did to me, bit by bit!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng trembled with anger. He wanted to retort, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he found it extremely difficult to speak. The invisible suppressive force seemed to have locked his throat, and he could only make a series of "woo-woo" sounds. He looked incredibly pathetic.

The surrounding crowd erupted in uproar upon seeing this scene. They never expected the situation to turn out this way. Jiang Cheng, who had been arrogant and domineering, was now kneeling in such humiliation before Jiang Yu, while Jiang Yu, like a victor who controlled everything, was wantonly humiliating him. The contrast was too great, making it difficult for people to accept for a moment.

"Jiang Yu is too ruthless. But Teacher Jiang Cheng did go a bit too far before, trying to make someone kneel down and admit their mistake. Now look what happened, he's getting his comeuppance. Sigh, this is really..."

"No matter what, this matter is unlikely to be resolved peacefully. With Teacher Jiang Cheng kneeling, Linlang Academy will definitely not let it go. Perhaps an even more powerful figure will step forward later. Let's just wait and see."

Jiang Yu watched the disciples of Linlang Academy who ran off to report the news, a mocking smile curving his lips. He was not afraid at all; instead, he straightened his body and stood quietly waiting.

He wasn't afraid at all!
The ancestor is invincible, he is truly invincible!
What?! A dog relying on its master's power?!
So what if he's the old man's dog?
Jiang Yu thought to himself, "Haven't you seen that Old Huang is even stronger than me?"
