Invincible Soul Emperor

Chapter 906: Chapter 906: The Grand Election Begins

Jiang Qi’s smile carried a hint of cruelty, as if mocking Qin Yue’s emotions.

Jiang Qi continued coldly, ”As for Ye Qingchen’s death, I truly don’t feel I have much fault. Do you think I had no choice but to do this? If you had agreed to my demands earlier and slept with me, would things have turned out this way? The current outcome is precisely because of your delay and refusal.”

Jiang Qi’s words were laden with heavy blame, pinning all the responsibility on Qin Yue, as if everything was due to her rejection that led to this situation.

His words were sharp, filled with sarcasm and indifference, as if he had no care for Ye Qingchen’s death.

Jiang Qi’s mockery was like knives stabbing directly into Qin Yue’s heart. His words not only deepened Qin Yue’s anger but also intensified her helplessness and pain.

After mocking Qin Yue, Jiang Qi approached the entrance of the great hall with a smile on his lips, walking proudly.

The air in the great hall seemed to grow more oppressive with his departure, and his laughter resonated like a jarring echo, lingering endlessly.

As he reached the door, he stopped and slowly turned, his gaze falling on Qin Yue once more.

Qin Yue’s face was still filled with anger and humiliation, her eyes flickering with helplessness and despair, but Jiang Qi showed no pity or emotion.

His gaze was cold and sharp, carrying a chill of scrutiny.

”Oh, Qin Yue.” Jiang Qi’s voice was tinged with mockery and threat, a tone light-hearted yet hiding cruelty.

He slightly raised one eyebrow, the smile on his lips undiminished.

The great hall gradually quieted, all eyes focused on him, as if awaiting his final strike.

”I won’t come to disturb you these next few days,” Jiang Qi continued, his tone revealing a hint of arrogance and disdain.

”But I hope you remember, when the Saint Heir of the Xue Family ascends, you’d better obediently wait for me in bed. If you dare make any move, I’ll make you understand what regret truly means.”

His threat pierced into Qin Yue’s heart like a blade, making her feel powerless and oppressed.

Jiang Qi’s words carried a cold sense of coercion, causing Qin Yue’s body to tense involuntarily, as if trapped in an invisible net.

Qin Yue’s hands hung powerlessly at her sides, her heart filled with endless indignation and sadness.

Jiang Qi coldly watched Qin Yue, seeing her unresponsive, a smug smile curled at his lips.

Then, Jiang Qi gracefully walked out of the great hall, the large doors closing slowly behind him, producing a dull sound.

After his departure, the atmosphere inside the great hall grew more heavy, as if all the gloom completely enveloped Qin Yue’s heart.

Qin Yue’s gaze remained dazed, her face showing deep pain.

Jiang Qi’s threat felt like an invisible rope, tightly binding Qin Yue’s fate.

Her mood became heavier, each breath a struggle through immense pain.

And Ye Qingchen’s death seemed because of her...

But such a strong and capable Ye Qingchen, how could it be...

All blamed on her, Qin Yue...

After Jiang Qi left, his mocking laughter and threats still echoed in the great hall.

Qin Yue stood quietly in place, her complexion pale, unable to calm the huge turmoil inside...

...

Finally, the day of the Xue Family Saint Position Election arrived.

The Xue Family had prepared for this day for a long time.

On the day of the election, the grandeur of the Xue Family’s square reached an unprecedented peak.

High fences surrounded the square, these fences adorned with luxurious flags, waving in the wind like colorful rivers, showcasing magnificence.

Exquisite patterns carved into the bluestone pillars, inlaid with golden ornaments, adding a touch of solemnity and nobility.

The altar at the center of the square towered into the clouds, its base engraved with the Xue Family emblem, symbolizing the family’s glory and heritage.

Rows of steps around the altar provided a platform for guests and candidates to observe the ceremony.

The ground’s bluestone slab was meticulously polished, mirror-smooth, reflecting the lights’ brilliance around.

Paths on the ground drawn with gold powder, neatly arranged, guiding guests into the central area of the square.

Luxurious benches and decorations flanked the pathways, the resting area was equipped with comfortable seating, providing guests with an excellent viewing environment.

Colorful lights and flowers adorned the resting area’s surroundings, adding a festive atmosphere.

The spectacle of a sea of people made the square appear particularly magnificent.

Guests from all directions crowded into the square, forming a dense wave of people.

Among the crowd were nobles and merchants in grand attire, the gemstones on their robes sparkling in the sunlight, shining splendidly; there were also plainly dressed villagers, their simple clothing making them unusually conspicuous in the lively atmosphere.

Everyone’s face held an expression of anticipation, as if the entire square was ignited by their excitement and curiosity.

On one side of the square, a temporary stand and resting area provided a comfortable space for guests watching the election.

A few guards and staff of the Xue Family bustled through the square, maintaining order, ensuring the smooth running of affairs.

Their eyes sharp, actions swift, ensuring all guests entered the square according to regulations, preventing any unexpected incidents.

Above the altar at the center of the square hung a large brocade banner, embroidered with the words ”Xue Family Saint Position Election,” the inscription neat and dignified, highlighting the election’s significance and ceremonial feel.

The banner swayed lightly in the breeze, adding a serious atmosphere. The lights illuminated the square like daylight, the brilliance reflecting on the ground, casting a glorious glow.

As the election time approached, the crowd in the square grew denser, the atmosphere increasingly tense and excited.

The Family Head of the Xue Family and the Elders had already settled in front of the altar, their expressions stern, ready to welcome the upcoming election.

Everyone could feel the tension and anticipation pervading the air, as if the entire square awaited this moment.

This election not only concerned the Xue Family’s future, but also a major event for the entire clan.

The scale and atmosphere of the square demonstrated the Xue Family’s robust strength, making external guests feel a strong sense of ceremony and dignity.

Everyone knew this wasn’t merely an election, but a far-reaching family banquet.

In this grand occasion, everyone awaited the destiny of the Saint Position, and the profound effects this decision would bring.

”Haha, it’s really lively here, but I heard the Xue Family only has one participant in the election.”

”What do you mean one? Isn’t it two?”

”Oh, you didn’t know, it’s two, but the other one is in a coma and hasn’t woken up yet.”

”Ah, that’s truly unfortunate...”
