I Started As the Qin Family Patriarch and Was Bound to the Selection System

Great Wilderness Palm PerfectionAt this moment, a guard hurried over to report.

”Report to the Ruler, envoys from various kingdoms have come to pay their respects.”

Ruler Long Zhan, who was sitting high above with his eyes closed to rest his mind, slowly opened them. His steady voice rang out, ”Let the envoys enter the hall.”

Before long, dozens of envoys from various kingdoms arrived at the main hall and said in unison, ”Greetings, Ruler Long Zhan.”

An envoy stepped forward with a distressed expression and lamented, ”Ruler Long Zhan, that Qin Yi is simply arrogant to the extreme; he wants us all to submit to the Qin Family.”

”You should know that the Dragon Flame Kingdom has always been the leader of our Hundred Kingdoms. Qin Yi’s behavior simply shows no regard for you, Ruler Long Zhan.”

Immediately after, several more envoys stepped forward and continued, ”If we do not submit to the Qin Family, Qin Yi will wipe us all out.”

”Exactly! That Qin Yi is simply a murderous Devil Head. Elder Hui was killed by Qin Yi just because he tried to stop him from exterminating the Chu Yue Royal Family.”

”We implore Ruler Long Zhan to capture Qin Yi and restore peace and justice to our Land of a Hundred Kingdoms.”

Hearing this, Long Zhan’s eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, ”This Qin Yi has quite the ambition, wanting to rule the Land of a Hundred Kingdoms. Let’s see if he actually has the strength for it.”

”Qin Yi dared to kill a Martial Ancestor Expert of my kingdom; he has already found his path to death.”

Great General Long Wuque stepped forward and said, ”Ruler, I am willing to go personally and slay that Devil Head Qin Yi myself.”

Long Zhan shook his head and said in a deep voice, ”This time, I will set out personally to kill Qin Yi and destroy the Qin Family.”

”I want Qin Yi to understand that this is the consequence of killing the experts of my Dragon Flame Kingdom.”

At this point, Long Zhan’s eyes erupted with endless killing intent.

The ministers below congratulated him, ”With the Ruler personally taking action, that Qin Yi is undoubtedly dead.”

”Indeed. With Qin Yi’s first-level Martial Ancestor cultivation, even with Sword Intent, he is no match for the Ruler.”

”Thank you, Ruler Long Zhan, for ridding our Hundred Kingdoms of this Devil Head, Qin Yi.” The envoys also expressed their gratitude one after another.

With a movement, Long Zhan’s figure vanished from the hall... Three days later, at the Qin Family’s back mountain.

Qin Yi was like an old monk, sitting cross-legged on a boulder to Cultivate the Martial Skill, Great Desolation Palm. The surroundings were completely covered in a desolate aura, devoid of all life.

After an unknown amount of time, gray Death Qi appeared around Qin Yi—it was tangible Death Qi.

The previous desolate scene around Qin Yi was caused by his Cultivation of the Great Desolation Palm.

Once Qin Yi finished his Cultivation, the area would instantly return to a scene full of life.

But this Death Qi was different; even a tiny touch would mean these lands, flowers, and trees would never possess life again.

Suddenly, Qin Yi opened his eyes, and Spiritual Qi condensed into a Desolate Giant Palm.

Ten feet, twenty feet... fifty feet... it didn’t stop until it reached a massive hundred feet in size.

Furthermore, the giant palm was entwined with gray Death Qi, like a life-claiming palm; even a slight touch would drain all vitality.

Qin Yi sighed, ”This is the true Perfection of the Great Desolation Palm—the manifestation of Death Qi.”

Even a Martial Emperor Cultivator would have all their life force drained instantly if they were touched by a bit of this Death Qi.

Moreover, as Qin Yi’s cultivation continued to improve, the Death Qi on the Great Desolation Palm he unleashed would become even more intense.

Furthermore, the Death Qi on it would never dissipate, meaning that if the Great Desolation Palm destroyed a city, that city would become a dead city forever.

”Qin Yi, get out here and meet your death!”

A majestic and resonant voice rang out above the Qin Family, echoing throughout the entire Mo City.

Long Zhan, dressed in dragon robes with his black hair fluttering, stared intently at the Qin Family Territory below.

Hearing the voice from outside, Qin Yi’s eyes turned cold. He withdrew the desolate aura from his body and flew toward the sky.

As Qin Yi left, the scene on the back mountain became full of life once more.

The Qin Family members looked at Long Zhan above and began to discuss among themselves.

”Who is this person seeking death now? How dare he be so arrogant at our Qin Family? Doesn’t he know our Clan Chief even managed to subdue the Wolf King?”

”Exactly. You should know the last one who came to our Qin Family to bluster was slapped to death by the Clan Chief long ago.”

”Once the Clan Chief comes out, he’ll get what’s coming to him.”

Qin Shan asked, ”Wolf King, what do you think?”

The Phantom Wolf King beside him had a solemn expression and said in a deep voice, ”The person above is very strong; he’s no ordinary Martial Ancestor Expert.”

Hearing this, Qin Shan’s expression turned grave, and he couldn’t help but guess, ”Could it be a Martial Ancestor Expert from the Dragon Flame Kingdom?”

Soon, Qin Yi flew into the air. With a cold face, he asked in a deep voice, ”Who are you, to dare shout for me to come out and meet my death?”

Qin Yi observed his aura; his cultivation was roughly at the fifth level of the Martial Ancestor Realm, meaning he was no match for him at all.

Long Zhan’s face darkened, and he snorted coldly, ”The rumors are indeed true. Qin Yi, you are truly arrogant to the extreme, daring to be so disrespectful to me.”

”I am the Ruler of the Dragon Flame Kingdom, a fifth-level Martial Ancestor Expert. I see you are also a Martial Ancestor Cultivator; why not submit to me? I can spare your life.”

”Otherwise, today, not even a chicken or a dog will be left alive in your Qin Family.”

At this moment, the System’s voice rang out.

”Ding! A threat to the Family has been detected. Triggering choices.”

Option 1: Long Zhan’s strength is not weak; he can be subdued. Reward: The Host’s cultivation increases by three minor Realms, and three sect breaking pills.

Option 2: No nonsense, kill him directly. Reward: The Host’s cultivation increases by three minor Realms, and five sect breaking pills.

Option 3: Disregard martial ethics. Tease Long Zhan first, then kill him.

Reward: The Host’s cultivation increases by four minor Realms, ten sect breaking pills, and a rebound shield (one-time use item, effective against targets no more than one major Realm higher than the Host).

”I choose Option 3,” Qin Yi thought to himself.

It wasn’t that Qin Yi lacked martial ethics; it was simply that the System offered too much.

Qin Yi’s eyes were cold as ice as he said indifferently, ”With cultivation like yours, I can kill you with a single palm strike.”

”If you submit to me, I might consider sparing your life.”

Long Zhan’s eyes were gloomy, and he laughed out of extreme anger, ”Good, good! Then I’d like to see how you kill me with one palm strike.”

After saying that, the aura on his body surged like a storm, and the surrounding Spiritual Qi gathered.

”Overlord Punch.”

The Spiritual Qi swirled, and majestic power formed the Overlord Punch.

With a movement, Long Zhan charged rapidly toward Qin Yi.

Seeing this, Qin Yi’s fourth-level Martial Ancestor cultivation was fully revealed, and his Spiritual Qi surged.

The hundred-foot giant palm, carrying Death Qi, struck down at extreme speed.

Long Zhan’s face was filled with terror, and he cried out, ”Qin Yi, you’re not at the first level of the Martial Ancestor Realm! And you even possess such a terrifying Martial Skill!”

Bang!

Long Zhan was struck by the giant palm, and his body fell rapidly, crashing onto the ground.

At the last moment, Qin Yi withdrew most of the Great Desolation Palm’s power; otherwise, Long Zhan would have been slapped to death in one strike.

Qin Yi flew forward and said in a deep voice, ”I said that I could slap a Cultivator like you to death with one palm.”

Long Zhan lay on the ground, his dragon robes torn, blood flowing uncontrollably, and his body entwined with desolate Death Qi.

”Qin Yi, how can your strength be so great?” Long Zhan asked in disbelief, his eyes filled with fear.

Qin Yi snorted coldly and said, ”It’s because you are too weak; you couldn’t even take one palm strike from me.”

”I’ll give you a chance now. Submit to me, or I’ll slap you to death.”

Between life and death, Long Zhan struggled to his feet and hurriedly said, ”I am willing to submit to you and will never betray you.”

Qin Yi’s eyes were playful as he said, ”Are you truly willing to submit to me? You should know that you are a Martial Ancestor Expert.”

Fearing that Qin Yi wouldn’t believe him and would slap him to death, Long Zhan immediately condensed a Soul Contract and said urgently:

”It’s true! This is my Soul Contract. As long as you inject your own Spiritual Qi, my life and death will be in your hands with a single thought.”

A look of humiliation appeared on Long Zhan’s face, but then he thought about how, in the face of life and death, the humiliation of submission was nothing.

Qin Yi laughed loudly and mocked, ”You are too weak; you aren’t even qualified to submit to me. Therefore, I still plan to kill you.”
