A family of widows, all shouldered, raising the dragon flag!

"father!"

"father!"

Liu Jinghong and his two older brothers quickly stepped forward to help Liu Tianyuan up!

Qin Ze had just felt an attack as well.

However, with the power of the dragon and elephant protecting him, he was not seriously injured.

Zhou Yuji glanced at Qin Ze with some surprise.

He never expected that this spoiled brat from the Qin family could withstand his mental attacks!

"What a fine envoy from Northern Mang! Does he think my Great Zhou has no one to rely on?"

This time, the sound came from the Qin family's backyard!

Upon hearing this sound, Qin Ze and the people in the courtyard were overjoyed!

It was none other than the old matriarch's voice.

The old lady suddenly rose into the air, holding a dragon-headed cane. The wrinkles on her face were smoothed out, and her skin had a subtle glow, making her look more than ten years younger!

At this moment, her eyes were filled with murderous intent!

Zhou Yuji was shocked to see the other party walking on air and to feel the terrifying fluctuations of true energy emanating from her! He never expected that the Qin family matriarch was actually at the Free Realm.

The intelligence is incorrect!

He originally came to sow discord between the Qin family and the Great Zhou.

But when the old lady appeared, he realized he had come in vain.

"Madam, I've only come to offer my condolences; I mean no harm!"

"Hmph, though you say nothing malicious, your heart is full of malice!"

"Since you're here, don't leave!"

The old lady pointed casually!

This gesture was so understated!

Absolutely no power or authority!

But in Zhou Yuji's eyes, they were countless sharp swords flashing with cold light, each one meant to pierce him!

"Grandma, aren't you afraid that killing me will provoke a conflict between Northern Mang and Great Zhou?"

"Hmph, the moment my Batian and his eight valiant sons died in battle, it was an irreconcilable feud!"

"Disputes? Our Qin family only has conflicts to the death! There are no disputes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he gently pressed down with one finger.

Zhou Yuji roared angrily.

They then attacked Qin Ze.

"Since you want me dead, then your Qin family line will end!"

Faced with Zhou Yuji's desperate attack from Zizai Dijing, everyone was terrified and didn't know what to do.

The old lady dove aside to shield Qin Ze from the attack!

She couldn't allow the only bloodline of the Qin family to be harmed in any way.

Especially after learning that Qin Ze had the support of the Qin family elders, Qin Ze became more important to her than her own life.

Just as she was about to block the attack, the Northern Mang envoy suddenly turned back.

"Grandma, we'll meet again!"

As Zhou Yuji disappeared into the sky, the old lady's face turned extremely ugly.

They all looked at the Eighth Prince Zhou Wuji, who was preparing to escape!

"Eighth Prince, you just bullied the younger generation of my Qin family, saying that my Qin family doesn't understand the law?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wuji's face turned deathly pale.

He never expected that the matriarch of the Qin family was also hiding her cultivation level.

After all, the other party was already at the Vajra Mortal Realm many years ago, so it seems reasonable that he could break through after so many years.

"Grandma, I was just joking with the children!"

"joke?"

"Then I'll just joke with you too!"

"Take this blow, and from this day forward, you'll sever all ties with the Qin family!"

"All that has happened in the past is now nothing!"

Upon hearing that he could sever all ties and that all the great favors he had received in the past would be for naught, Zhou Wuji's pale face instantly regained its color.

My eyes were filled with excitement!

"Grandma, is this really true?"

"nature!"

"Then please ask the old lady for help!"

Seeing the excitement in the other person's eyes, the old lady sighed in disappointment.

Just a casual point!

Silently!

Zhou Wuji froze on the spot!

Only at this moment did he realize how vast the difference was between the Vajra Mortal Realm and the Realm of Freedom.

He thought of those two words!

An insurmountable barrier!

boom!

Zhou Wuji's head suddenly exploded!

Even in death, he is not a complete corpse!

No one expected that the old lady would be so ruthless in her actions!

Liu Tianyuan was still shaken!

At that moment, he was somewhat glad that he had chosen the right side.

Judging from her actions just now, the Qin family matriarch is definitely not someone who has just stepped into the Free Realm!

The faces of the surrounding powerful families and imperial relatives were extremely grim.

No matter how rude Zhou Wuji was, he was still a member of the royal family!

The Qin family killed without hesitation, showing absolutely no respect for the royal family!

The old lady slowly looked at the people around her, and a warm smile returned to her face.

"Please excuse my poor appearance!"

"I gave him a chance, but he didn't cherish it!"

"Today is the seventh day after my son's and eight grandsons' deaths. I hope we can discuss all our grievances later!"

"If there are still any petty scoundrels who don't know the rules, don't blame me for personally paying them a visit!"

As she spoke, the overwhelming aura emanating from the old lady caused everyone present to gasp in shock.

At this moment, no one dared to take even half a step further!

The noble families and imperial relatives who were originally just watching the spectacle have now all come to offer their condolences!

"The Sixth Prince has come to offer his condolences! The funeral gift is one thousand taels of silver..."

"The head of the Wang family has come to offer condolences! The funeral gift is two thousand taels of silver...and one hundred bolts of cloth!"

……

More and more people are coming to pay their respects!

Shen Zhiwei and the others all got busy!

Liu Jinghong changed into mourning clothes and was pulled aside by her eldest and second eldest brothers for a lecture!

"Little sister, you've made such a big decision all by yourself?"

"Yeah, that's absolutely ridiculous!"

"Yeah, what else could Dad possibly agree to? You're making things really difficult for him!"

Liu Jinghong lowered her head, not daring to look at her eldest and second brothers.

"Big brother, second brother, I made a bet with him and lost! A bet's a bet!"

"Besides, he's very good to me, and I...I like him too!"

When she said "I like him," Liu Jinghong's face flushed red.

Seeing his younger sister like this.

Both of them sighed.

"We didn't stop you; it's you and the Qin family who didn't follow the procedures and rules!"

"Who holds a grand celebration during a major funeral? The Qin family is truly one of a kind!"

Liu Jinghong also understood that this matter was against etiquette!

But the Qin family couldn't care less about etiquette at this moment. If they followed etiquette, the Qin family would probably be wiped out!

Putting everything else aside, three years of mourning is enough to bring down the Qin family!

"Eldest brother, second brother, this was decided by the Old Madam. I'm going to see my husband now!"

Seeing that their little sister's thoughts were entirely on Qin Ze, the two of them were speechless!

However, they also admired Qin Ze's forbearance, as a peak tenth realm cultivator had been pretending to be a playboy all along!

At this moment, Qin Ze was kneeling in the ancestral hall, waiting for those who came to offer condolences and perform the sacrificial rites.

The person kowtowed, and Qin Ze followed suit.

With the father-in-law and grandmother in charge, the Qin family seemed to have returned to its former prosperity!

But everyone knows it's all just a bubble!

Because the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty has not sent anyone to offer condolences!

This move has caused everyone to have mixed feelings!

Without the emperor's approval, the Qin family is destined to be isolated and helpless.

Liu Tianyuan was also somewhat puzzled.

I even feel that the Emperor of Great Zhou has gone a bit too far!

The Qin family is full of loyal martyrs, yet at this time they cannot even earn a single condolence.

"Grandma, His Majesty hasn't arrived yet. Is there some misunderstanding?"

The old lady looked at the burly Liu Tianyuan with satisfaction in her eyes.

"There's no misunderstanding, he just doesn't want to act anymore!"

These words sent chills down Liu Tianyuan's spine!

The entire Qin family was killed in battle, so how did the Northern Mang Empress manage to know the Qin family's location?

With the Northern Mang envoy causing trouble earlier and no one intervening, he seemed to have figured everything out!

Just as he was about to discuss with the old lady how to break the deadlock, a shrill, high-pitched voice came from outside the door!

"Imperial edict has arrived!"
