King Wu's Ninefold
Third Elder snorted coldly, "I am the Third Elder of the Qingyun Sect, Third Elder. Qin Yi, you are so insolent; you are truly seeking death."
After saying that, the longsword in her hand suddenly unsheathed, turning into a sharp sword light that slashed toward Qin Yi.
Qin Yi's gaze turned cold. This must be Su Yanran's Revered Master; she was indeed unreasonable. His hands quickly circulated spiritual energy as he launched an attack.
Bang!
The two different energies collided, resulting in a massive explosion.
Third Elder looked surprised and said, "Qin Yi, you do have some strength to be able to block a strike of mine."
Then she asked in an unquestionable tone, "Qin Yi, let me ask you, what exactly happened on the day my Disciple Su Yanran came to annul the engagement?"
"Why has my Disciple not returned to the sect yet?"
Qin Yi was already annoyed. First, she trespassed into the Qin Family, and then she attacked him without a word.
Had his cultivation not been powerful, he would have been slashed to death by that sword strike long ago.
Qin Yi sneered. Since you want to know, then I will tell you the truth and see if you go mad.
"No, no, you're mistaken. When Su Yanran came to the Qin Family, it wasn't to annul the engagement, but rather my Qin Family divorcing her."
Third Elder's eyes were filled with killing intent as she roared, "Qin Yi, what are you saying!"
Qin Yi smiled and hurriedly said, "Don't be in a rush, wait until I finish."
Third Elder stared fixedly at Qin Yi, her expression saying that if he didn't explain himself properly, she would kill him.
The people from the other families nearby were also stunned. Qin Yi was too bold, even daring to divorce a Disciple of the Qingyun Sect.
Qin Yi continued, "After Su Yanran was divorced, she lost all face. She must have been in extreme pain and felt too ashamed to see anyone."
"So, after they left, I intercepted and killed them outside the city, ending Su Yanran's suffering and letting her depart peacefully."
"How about it? Wasn't I just helping someone out of the goodness of my heart?"
Hearing Qin Yi's explanation, Third Elder's face became extremely unsightly, and an endless killing intent radiated from her body. "Not only did you divorce my Disciple, but you also intercepted and killed her."
"If I don't level the Qin Family today, I am not Third Elder."
The people from the other families were also shocked. No wonder Su Yanran's expression was so terrible back then; it turned out she had been divorced.
"Is Patriarch Qin really this fierce? Not only did he divorce a Qingyun Sect Disciple, but he also killed her on the way back."
"From now on, I won't respect anyone but the Qin Family Head."
"Qin Yi's Move has completely offended the Qingyun Sect to the death. I just don't know how he'll handle it."
"Ding! Detected a Martial King Expert who wishes to annihilate the Qin Family."
Option One: Lead the Qin Family members to flee. The Qingyun Sect is powerful; it's better to hide for now.
Reward: Host's cultivation increases by one minor Realm, and the Earth Rank Medium Grade movement technique, Cloud-Treading Moon-Chasing.
Option Two: Powerfully suppress the incoming enemy. The dignity of the Qin Family cannot be lost.
Reward: Host's cultivation increases by three minor Realms, and three Martial King Realm Cultivators.
"I choose option two."
Qin Yi sneered and said, "To want to annihilate my Qin Family, you are not qualified with your level of strength."
As he spoke, his cultivation at the Sixth Level of Martial King was revealed, and a powerful aura enveloped the sky above the Qin Family.
Third Elder's expression turned solemn. "No wonder you dared to kill my Disciple; it turns out you are at the Sixth Level of Martial King. Even so, Qin Yi, you will pay a heavy price today."
Revealing her Fifth Level of Martial King cultivation, Third Elder believed that as an Elder of the Qingyun Sect and with the Martial Skills she practiced, she had no reason to fear Qin Yi.
Her figure moved, and a sharp Sword Qi surged toward Qin Yi.
"Great Desolation Palm!" Qin Yi shouted.
The surrounding Spiritual Qi surged, and a giant palm spanning twenty zhang manifested.
Instantly, the surrounding crowd felt an aura of death looming over their heads.
The giant palm struck down rapidly with the momentum of thunder.
Seeing this, Third Elder's face was filled with disbelief. Why was Qin Yi able to execute such a powerful Move?
A wave of fear spread through her heart; she could not block this palm.
She said in a threatening tone, "Qin Yi, I am the Third Elder of the Qingyun Sect. You dare to kill me?"
Qin Yi's expression remained calm, and his response to her was the desolate giant palm.
Third Elder panicked; Qin Yi really dared to kill her.
There was a loud boom.
Third Elder's body flew back and crashed onto the ground, all signs of life gone.
Hiss!
The people from other families observing in the shadows gasped; the Third Elder of the Qingyun Sect had died just like that at the Qin Family.
"We must never provoke the Qin Family, or else we won't even know how we died."
"Indeed, Qin Yi isn't even afraid of the Qingyun Sect, so we are even less significant."
Lin Mo, the head of the Lin Family, said proudly, "Fortunately, I had the foresight to side with the Qin Family; otherwise, the Lin Family would have been wiped out long ago."
Lin Dao's expression was strange. He wondered who had once said, 'I'd like to see how the Qin Family could possibly destroy my Lin Family.'
However, he didn't dare to say it out loud. Since you are the Clan Chief, you have the final say.
Lin Mo hurriedly added, "Isn't the Qin Family going to establish the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce? Immediately dispatch some clansmen to help the Qin Family."
"Also, take out two hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones from the Family treasury and send them to the Qin Family. Say it's the Lin Family's congratulations on the establishment of the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce."
Lin Dao said in a troubled tone, "Clan Chief, isn't two hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones too much? You should know that's half a year's income for our Lin Family."
Lin Mo snorted, "What do you know? Now that the Qin Family isn't even afraid of the Qingyun Sect, there's no telling how far they'll develop in the future."
"By showing our loyalty now and relying on the great tree that is the Qin Family, who would dare to look down on our Lin Family?"
"Forget it, I'll go there personally."
Meanwhile, the Members of the Qin Family looked excited, their eyes filled with worship as they looked at Qin Yi.
"The Clan Chief is mighty!"
They hadn't expected the Clan Chief's strength to be so great that an Elder of the Qingyun Sect was killed with a single palm strike.
Qin Yan looked at Qin Yi with worship in his eyes. "Teacher, Father's strength is too incredible. I must work even harder at my cultivation."
Qin Yan's cultivation had now reached the Fifth Level of Great Martial Master, thanks to the advantages of his Saint Physique and Elder Xiao's guidance.
He was likely invincible below the Martial Spirit Realm.
Elder Xiao sighed with emotion, "As expected of the Reincarnation of the Invincible One, his strength is improving at a lightning pace."
He felt very fortunate to have joined the Qin Family; he had witnessed the Family's development during this period.
Furthermore, with the emperor-grade alchemist manual, he might even be able to reach the level of an Alchemy Emperor.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for completing the choice. Rewards are being distributed."
Instantly, Qin Yi's cultivation rose to the Ninth Level of Martial King. With a movement of his figure, he disappeared from the sky above the Qin Family.
Returning to his own courtyard, he began to summon the Martial King Cultivators rewarded by the System.
Qin Yi said, "System, summon my three Martial King Cultivators."
System: "Summoning in progress."
Soon, three middle-aged Cultivators appeared before Qin Yi.
The summoned Martial King Cultivators were all invincible within the same Realm and possessed information about this world.
Qin Yi used the Detection Technique to check the three individuals' information.
Qin Shi: Cultivation at the Seventh Level of Martial King, Loyalty: 100.
Qin Que: Cultivation at the Seventh Level of Martial King, Loyalty: 100.
Qin Yunfei: Cultivation at the Seventh Level of Martial King, Loyalty: 100.
"Greetings, Clan Chief," the three said in unison with respectful expressions.
Qin Yi nodded and said, "Go find Grand Elder Qin Shan and have him arrange tasks for you."
"Yes." After receiving their orders, the three vanished from the courtyard.
Qin Yi thought to himself that with three Martial King Cultivators, there would be no resistance to the development of the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce in the short term.
However, for the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce to spread across the Great Yan Kingdom, it would still require a period of development.
