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

despair.

despair.

despair.

Suddenly, three footsteps came from afar.

The footsteps were not heavy, but the hearts of all the Cui clan members present tightened for a moment with the rhythm of those three steps!

Because the sound of those footsteps actually pierced through the ancestor's oppressive aura.

"Is this the governor of the Demon Suppression Division?"

"The purple-robed man is Song Ziwei. Why is this peak Golden Core Realm expert back here...?"

Many people were puzzled. The Jingyao Division was loyal to the royal family and would never interfere in the affairs of the major families. It was hard not to be suspicious of them to be here today.

Cui Yuanhua finally looked away from Cui Yi, his gaze still carrying a hint of surprise.

"Lord Song, what brings you to visit my Cui clan today?"

The newcomer was dressed in a dark purple official robe; it was none other than Song Ziwei.

Song Ziwei stood at the edge of the training ground, his gaze passing over the frozen Cui clan members and landing on Cui Yi.

"Senior Cui, I apologize for intruding on the Cui family affairs. I hope you will forgive me."

As he spoke, Song Ziwei took out a scroll of bright yellow silk from his storage ring and slowly unfurled it with the support of his true energy.

"Cui Yi secretly left the Jingyao Division and fled abroad, eventually joining the Xueyi Sect."

"This child is a wanted criminal by the imperial court. The Suppression of Demons Bureau must bring him back to the Southern Territory for trial."

"I dare not interfere in the affairs of the Cui family."

"But this person, I must take with me today."

The yellow silk scroll bears an imperial warrant issued by the emperor, and the lower right corner also bears the red imperial seal!

An ordinary person would probably have already given up upon seeing this.

But Cui Yuanhua only sneered: "Lord Song, this boy has injured my elders, insulted my ancestors, and disgraced my clan today in my Cui clan."

"If you were to take him away so easily, where would that leave the face of the Cui clan?"

Song Ziwei stood there without speaking, his official robes fluttering gently in the evening breeze.

His face was expressionless; he simply stared at Cui Yuanhua and then took a small step forward.

The sound of that step landing was very soft.

However, a fine crack suddenly spread out from the toes of his feet across the entire training ground floor tiles!

boom!

The overwhelming shockwave exploded instantly, carrying immense true energy that sent rubble flying everywhere!

Even those cultivators who were ahead of the line who managed to react and use their true energy to resist were still shaken by this unexpected disaster, causing their blood and qi to surge!

The Golden Core Realm is indeed terrifying!

Even a slight change in emotion is enough to affect the other cultivators around!

An angry expression finally appeared on Choi Won-hwa's face.

He could tell that Song Ziwei's kick wasn't a show of defiance.

It is stating a fact.

State a fact!

You are at the peak of the Golden Core stage.

I, Song Ziwei, am also at the peak of the Golden Core Realm, and there are three more Golden Core Realm experts in the Demon Suppression Division!

If things really come to a head, no one will benefit from this today.

"Lord Song, you may fool others, but you can't fool me, and you can't fool yourself either."

"Given the current situation, you still dare to try and save him?"

"You know perfectly well that even if I let him go today, he will not escape the pursuit of the Great Yan."

"Once he joined the Blood-Clad Sect and was put on the wanted list, his life was no longer his own."

"Then there's no need for you to trouble yourself, Senior Cui. Besides, I'm just doing my duty."

Song Ziwei put away the imperial edict and said calmly, "I have lived an upright life and there is absolutely no question of protection as Senior Cui mentioned."

"The Demon Suppression Division is loyal only to the Great Yan Dynasty, and only to His Majesty!"

"take away!"

At Song Ziwei's command, a group of people from the Demon Suppression Division appeared out of nowhere from all directions.

Even the three Golden Badge Deacons were among them!

The three men looked at Cui Yi with strange and unusual expressions, their emotions quite complex.

Such talent could have achieved so much if he had stayed with the Demon Suppression Division. What a pity...

However, none of the three harbored any resentment towards Cui Yi.

After all, everyone knew what happened that day, and ultimately it wasn't Cui Yi's fault.

However, they were caught in the middle, unqualified to take sides, and lacked the courage to judge the Demon Suppression Division.

"Cui Yi, surrender!"

"With your talent, if you admit your mistake in time, His Majesty might give you a chance to live!"

The three golden emblems moved simultaneously, forming a triangle that firmly trapped Cui Yi's figure within.

Besides these three, many ordinary deacons also took action. Seeing that more and more people were gathering nearby, Cui Yi merely frowned.

"This is so troublesome..."

He hadn't expected Song Ziwei to come, but the other party didn't seem to have much killing intent towards him.

Whether it was his imagination or not, Cui Yi actually saw a hint of regret in Song Ziwei's eyes.

"We can't delay any longer. The formation Yun Yi prepared can only buy time for a Golden Core cultivator..."

Cui Yi's mind raced.

The simplest way right now is for him to use the sword-shaped jade talisman to kill Cui Yuanhua, and then use the formation to delay Song Ziwei!

As for what will happen after he takes action, it doesn't matter!

Whether the entire Cui clan is wiped out or severely weakened, he will not feel the slightest guilt.

It is true that he is surnamed Cui, but from the various truths he learned today, he realized that the reason why his lineage was expelled from the Cui clan was not simple.

but……

Cui Yi didn't have the leisure to dig into the details. Wasn't the other party unwilling to pursue the rights and wrongs of that year?

Then he'll be even more decisive!

Once the source of the conflict is completely resolved, everything else can be wiped clean!

"come out!"

"Kill him!"

Cui Yi put two fingers together and placed them between his eyebrows. An extremely powerful mental force gradually gathered from between his eyebrows!

The jade talisman, which had been dormant in the Dead Sea for a long time, received a sign and trembled with great excitement!

As the source of this power, Xi Yue naturally sensed Cui Yi's undisguised killing intent!

She neither intervened nor stopped it, and even silently added a bit of mental energy to it.

"This Golden Core cultivator is no ordinary person. After you kill him, remember to take his body with you!"

Upon hearing Xi Yue's voice, Cui Yi was overjoyed!

"Don't worry, senior!"

While the two were talking, the jade talisman was activated!

Choi Won-hwa's pupils contracted sharply in that instant!

That's an instinctive reaction that can only be activated by a Golden Core Peak cultivator when they are on the verge of death!

It was a survival instinct honed over many years of struggling through mountains of corpses and seas of blood!

He saw a faint light gather between Cui Yi's eyebrows, and in the next instant, this light tore through the void and slashed straight at him!

Because it received a second boost from the power of the Sun Moon, this sword-shaped jade talisman is far more powerful than before!

There were no sword moves, no sword stances, and not even a sword!

There was only a single, clear, and cold sword light, like the glow of the moon!

Then, a very thin line of blood slowly seeped out from between his eyebrows.

The moment the jade talisman materialized, cold sweat broke out on Song Ziwei's back, who was at the peak of the Golden Core Realm!

Just now, he actually felt a chill originating from his soul, as if the attack just now was enough to threaten his life!

But it was very strange, because nothing seemed to be happening at the scene.

Just as Song Ziwei was filled with doubt, Cui Yuanhua's aged body suddenly slumped backward.

Then, in full view of everyone, he fell directly from mid-air onto the obsidian floor of the training ground with a thud!
