The path to immortality through martial arts begins with being forced into marriage!

His intelligence was completely in disarray!

He had suspected that Cui Yi was one of his own before, but he never imagined that he was a remnant of the Cui family in Qinglin County!

After all, not long ago that kid was a sickly fellow who couldn't cultivate, who knew he could improve so quickly?

Even with a Foundation Establishment cultivation level, one can still fight two opponents at the Core Formation level!

He is far superior to any of the younger generation in the Great Yan Dynasty!

After a long struggle to calm himself down, Cui Zhenshan slowly asked, "Cui Yi, what do you want from me today?"

Upon hearing this, all eyes were once again focused on Cui Yi.

They were all eager to see what this boy, who made such a dramatic entrance, was up to.

"I have come today not to ask for anything, nor to conceal anything."

"I just wanted to see—"

"A man who disregards the life and death of his own clansmen—what has he managed to turn the Cui clan into this mess!"

These words shocked Cui Zhenshan once again!

He knew it all along!

He knew exactly that he had sent someone to Cui Family Village!

But Cui Yi had no idea that Cui Zhenshan had sent people to Cui Family Village, because he was referring to the two brothers, Cui Ji and Cui Yi.

At least so far, both sides are misunderstanding each other; one is talking about the city gate basket, and the other is talking about the hip joint.

"presumptuous!"

An aged yet sharp shout came from one side of the platform. It came from an elder with white hair and beard, who was leaning on a black iron staff and staring at Cui Yi with eyes as sharp as knives.

"You ignorant brat, do you know who you're talking to?"

"Even if you have the bloodline of three branches, you are still ultimately a junior!"

"Zhenshan has led the clan for decades, and the clan has prospered, with its members enjoying great fortune. How dare you presume to judge him!"

Cui Yi turned to look at him.

"A flourishing clan?"

"Does this refer to a bunch of rotten fish and shrimp piled up with elixirs?"

"I watched from below the stage for half an hour just now. There were twenty-three young members of the Cui family who went up to compete, but only seven of them had a solid foundation."

"The other sixteen people have weak true qi, and they obviously rely on pills to forcibly raise their cultivation level."

"As for Elder Cui Zhenfei, who fought me, his cultivation was at the early stage of the Core Formation Realm. His true energy was so scattered that I'm afraid he hasn't focused on honing his cultivation since the day he broke through."

"Is this what you call clan prosperity and the flourishing of your descendants?"

The elder's face turned ashen, and he slammed his black iron staff heavily on the ground.

"Nonsense! What clan doesn't suffer from a minor scabies?"

"You, a junior who has been wandering for over ten years, have only just returned and you're already pointing fingers and giving orders? Do you really think the Cui family has no one left to rely on!"

Cui Yi did not respond.

He simply stood there quietly, looking calmly at the clan elder.

That calm was more embarrassing than any vehement rebuttal.

"Clan Chief Cui."

Cui Yi spoke, his tone surprisingly polite.

"Just now you said what I wanted today."

He paused.

"I've made up my mind."

"I want the Cui clan to acknowledge the status of my lineage. I want you to admit with your own mouths that this generation, and even the previous generation, of the Cui clan are not as good as me!"

"Since Elders Cui Zhenfei and Cui Zhenfeng were able to stand up for the Cui family, I suppose the next one, and the one after that, will be the same."

"If the early stage of Core Formation is not enough, then move on to the middle stage of Core Formation."

"If one isn't enough, then bring two."

"If two aren't enough, then bring five."

"I stand right here today."

"How many people in the Cui clan have wanted to try in the last two generations? I'll take their place."

"Of course, if you want to act disrespectfully as elders, you can go back to the previous generation as well."

Cui Zhenshan stared at him without replying.

Cui Yi stood with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering gently in the breeze of the training ground.

Coupled with his domineering declaration just now, he was like a celestial being descended to earth!

Everyone witnessed how Cui Yi severely injured Cui Zhenfei and Cui Zhenfeng!

The swordsmanship was so fierce and unpredictable that it still sends chills down the spines of many people, and they even unconsciously associate it with the Blood-Clad Sect.

In the eyes of the public, heretical practitioners are synonymous with viciousness and cruelty!

Among the younger generation, the highest cultivation level is only at the late Foundation Establishment stage. How can they possibly fight against him?

As Cui Yi said, most of the Core Formation realm cultivators in aristocratic families have reached that level through the accumulation of pills, and their true combat strength is incomparable to that of cultivators who have cultivated through combat.

Seeing their silent and bewildered expressions, Cui Yi's heart was filled with surging emotions!

His actions today were not taken on a whim, but rather the result of careful consideration!

For prominent families, the most important thing is face, followed by profit!

He still had one sword-shaped jade talisman left, and the Cui clan did not have any Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

If a Golden Core Realm expert were to make a move, he wouldn't mind killing one!

However, if a Golden Core cultivator who is in charge of the clan falls, the other three major families will certainly not turn a blind eye.

However, this "not turning a blind eye" does not refer to the execution of Cui Yi.

Instead, they should take the opportunity to wipe out the Cui family!

The law of the jungle is not just directed at any one person, but rather it applies to the entire era!

In a dog-eat-dog world, no one cares about the contributions of an individual or a force. Given an opportunity, there will naturally be many people who want to seize it and climb up the ladder like crazy!

As for the rise and fall of the Cui clan, Cui Yi himself didn't feel much sense of belonging.

On the contrary, Cui Yi could vaguely sense a threat from their actions!

If a peaceful resolution is not possible, then eliminate the problem completely!

"This is outrageous! A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator dares to shit on my head!"

"If we don't teach him a lesson today, what will the other families say about my Cui clan in the future!"

Several clan elders were so angry that they blew their beards and glared at each other, and they even disregarded their status and wanted to go on stage to vindicate their clan.

"That's enough!"

A deep shout froze the footsteps of the clan elders in place.

The one who spoke was Cui Zhenshan.

If so many elders were to perish, regardless of whether Cui Yi could leave the training ground alive today, the Cui clan would be firmly nailed to the pillory of shame!

We can't force it.

At the very least, we cannot force it in this way.

In the blink of an eye, Cui Zhenshan had weighed the pros and cons a thousand times.

"You have been wandering outside for many years, all alone and without anyone to rely on. It is no wonder that you harbor resentment towards your clan."

"In the end... it is the clan that has wronged your lineage."

The clan chief...gave in?

To submit to a remnant of a branch in his early twenties?

Even Cui Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not respond, simply watching Cui Zhenshan continue his performance.

"The future of the Cui family should have been yours, so how about this..."

"I can decide to groom you as the young clan leader, allowing you to enjoy the highest level of resources within the clan!"

"Chief! No!"

"This boy is ambitious and treacherous. If he becomes the young clan leader, who knows..."

Many members of the Cui clan, unaware of the situation, attempted to stop him, but some astute individuals among those present quickly realized that Cui Zhenshan had ulterior motives.

"Hiss! This Cui clan chief is quite clever!"

"What do you mean by that? I don't see where the cleverness lies."

"This is the Cui family's stronghold. Why not just send people to suppress them in a relay?"

"A direct confrontation? It's not that easy..."
