“Let me go first? Remember, you said it!”
Su Qianqian didn’t hesitate for a moment and immediately thrust her sword towards Jiang Yue.
“Not good!”
As soon as Su Qianqian made her move, Jiang Yuqian’s expression changed.
Although Jiang Yue might not have realized it, Jiang Yuqian, who had recently become a cultivator, could see the extraordinary nature of Su Qianqian’s strike.
If Jiang Yue took this blow head-on, she would certainly die on the spot.
Bang!
Without any concern for decorum, Jiang Yuqian struck out at Su Qianqian with her palm.
“Jiang Yuqian!”
“Are you forcing us to fight to the death?”
The people of Su Family Village were furious as they watched Jiang Yuqian attack.
They seemed to envision Su Qianqian being killed by Jiang Yuqian in an instant.
After all, Jiang Yuqian had recently become a cultivator.
But…
Boom!
Though Su Qianqian was startled, she didn’t back down.
Her sword collided directly with Jiang Yuqian’s palm strike.
In an instant, Su Qianqian was sent flying over ten meters.
Everyone around was utterly shocked, their eyes nearly falling out of their sockets.
Su Qianqian had actually blocked Jiang Yuqian’s attack?
Had they not seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it possible.
“How is this possible?”
The young people from the three villages, especially those of Su Qianqian’s generation, were even more incredulous.
“You’ve become a cultivator?”
Jiang Yuqian stared at Su Qianqian.
Others who hadn’t realized it earlier gasped upon hearing these words.
Su Qianqian had actually become a cultivator?
Jiang Yue’s face turned pale!
She hadn’t understood why Jiang Yuqian had intervened earlier, but now she felt like she had narrowly escaped death.
No matter how strong her martial skills were, she could never be a match for a cultivator.
“Who would have thought your Su Family Village was hiding such a talent,”
Zhang Mingxiao said, his expression darkening.
The people of Su Family Village were equally bewildered.
They had no idea what was going on.
Su Qianqian’s gaze remained calm.
Her newfound abilities were entirely thanks to the Divine Tree.
Naturally, she would never reveal this secret.
“Su Qianqian, with your talent, staying in Su Family Village is a waste. Join Wang Family Village, and we’ll fully support your cultivation!”
Wang Tianlu offered.
“What a joke!”
Zhang Mingxiao retorted, “Does your Wang Family Village compare to my Zhang Family Village? Join us, and I’ll treat you as my own daughter!”
Only Jiang Yuqian’s eyes glinted with malice!
Having attacked Su Qianqian earlier, she knew that the latter would likely bear a grudge.
Even if Su Qianqian decided to join another faction, it certainly wouldn’t be Jiang Family Village.
Given that, Jiang Yuqian made a ruthless decision.
She struck at Su Qianqian once more, this time with a deadly move.
A white jade scorpion suddenly flew out from her sleeve, aiming straight at Su Qianqian.
The scorpion was highly venomous.
If it bit Su Qianqian, she would undoubtedly die.
Su Qianqian’s eyes filled with fear.
The white jade scorpion was too fast, and she could barely react.
Just as the scorpion was about to strike her, a mysterious gust of wind suddenly blew in.
Bang!
The white jade scorpion was instantly flung back.
Jiang Yuqian’s mind was thrown into turmoil, and she spat out blood.
The white jade scorpion had been pierced through.
As its master, Jiang Yuqian suffered a backlash.
“What kind of power is this?”
Jiang Yuqian exclaimed in shock.
The cultivators from the three villages were equally horrified.
Controlling the wind?
Such an incredible feat was enough to make anyone’s hair stand on end.
“Caw, caw.”
High above in the clouds, a crow cawed cheerfully.
It was Su Mu, who had placed the crow there to secretly protect Su Family Village.
No one paid attention to the crow’s cry.
An idea struck Su Yan, and he quickly bowed. “Unworthy descendant Su Yan greets the Ancestor.”
Ancestor?
The people from the three villages were terrified.
Could it be that Su Family Village had a hidden, powerful ancestor?
Under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t have believed such a thing.
But after witnessing the manipulation of the wind, they couldn’t help but believe.
“Ancestor?”
The people of Su Family Village were initially puzzled.
Then, they were overjoyed.
In contrast, the traitors from Su Family Village felt as though they had been struck by lightning, their hearts filled with regret and remorse.
Amid the Su Family crowd, Su Zheng’s mind raced.
He had mastered a unique skill—ventriloquism.
Combining ventriloquism with spiritual energy, he believed it could create a powerful effect.
Although the gust of wind had nothing to do with Su Family Village, he knew this was a prime opportunity to bluff.
The next moment, he activated his ventriloquism skill.
Simultaneously…
“Zhang Family Village, Wang Family Village, and Jiang Family Village—do you all have the audacity to flaunt your power in Su Family Village?”
An ancient voice echoed from nowhere.
The voice wasn’t loud, but it carried immense authority!
“We don’t dare!”
Zhang Mingxiao broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly replied, “We… we only wanted to have a friendly exchange between our village’s younger generation and Su Family Village’s younger generation.”
“If we had known it would disturb you, Senior, we would never have set foot in Su Family Village.”
Wang Tianlu was equally fearful.
Jiang Yuqian was the most terrified of all.
After all, she was the only one among the three village leaders who had attacked someone from Su Family Village.
Sometimes, what you fear most comes true.
As Jiang Yuqian trembled in fear, the ancient voice asked, “Jiang Family Village junior, who gave you the nerve to strike at someone from Su Family Village?”
“Senior, I was momentarily blinded by anger…”
Jiang Yuqian tried to explain.
“Cut off an arm and leave!”
The ancient voice commanded.
Jiang Yuqian’s face turned ashen.
The people from Jiang Family Village were filled with righteous indignation, ready to fight Su Family Village at her command.
However, Jiang Yuqian was more aware than anyone of the terrifying power behind that earlier attack.
She also considered the possibility that this was a bluff by Su Family Village.
But she didn’t dare to gamble.
Because if she lost, she would die.
Moreover, today’s events were instigated by Zhang Family Village.
Jiang Family Village had only followed their lead and didn’t need to take unnecessary risks.
“Thud!”
The next moment, she decisively cut off her left arm.
Her ruthlessness and decisiveness made the people from the other villages shudder.
“Let’s go!”
Jiang Yuqian picked up her severed arm, mounted her horse, and swiftly left.
The rest of the Jiang Family Village people hurriedly followed.
The people from Zhang Family Village and Wang Family Village stood there, stunned, not knowing what to do.
“If you don’t leave quickly, do you expect me to invite you to dinner?”
The ancient voice asked.
Zhang Mingxiao and Wang Tianlu, feeling as though they had been pardoned, quickly led their people away.
In the Ancient Wilderness Mountain Range, Su Mu, who had been observing the situation in Su Family Village through the spirit crow, couldn’t help but smile.
Who would have thought Su Zheng was such a talent?
Back in Su Family Village…
Watching the people from the three villages leave, the villagers felt as though they were in a dream.
After a while, they finally came to their senses and immediately knelt.
“Greetings to the Ancestor!”
The villagers of Su Family Village were moved to tears!
At this moment, they finally understood why Su Qianqian had seemed to transform overnight.
It turned out a mysterious ancestor had been secretly nurturing her.
“Ancestor, we were wrong!”
Su Tao, Su Ming, and the other traitors wept bitterly.
There was no response.
“Su Tao, Su Ming, you should leave,”
Su Yan said coldly, looking at Su Tao and Su Ming. “In other villages, traitors are either executed or have their cultivation crippled. I will spare your lives for the sake of kinship, but you can no longer stay here.”
He couldn’t allow traitors to remain.
Otherwise, it would send the message that betrayal was acceptable, as long as they could come back later.
This would also cause resentment among those who had remained loyal.
If that happened, the village would become impossible to maintain.
