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

Bai Zihua, President of the Red Moon Chamber of CommerceThe Qin Family members below looked at Third Elder as if she were an idiot; their Clan Chief was now a Martial Saint.

Against a Cultivator at the Seventh Layer Martial Venerable like her, the Clan Chief could slap her to death with a single palm.

Some Family members couldn’t help but laugh. ”This Third Elder is far too stupid. No wonder she was expelled from Lingxu Academy.”

”Indeed. She doesn’t even know our Qin Family’s current strength, yet she puts on an act like she can destroy us. It’s hilarious.”

Seeing that the Qin Family members were not only unafraid but were actually mocking her—looking at her as if she were a fool—Third Elder felt a sting.

Her face burned with humiliation, and she roared, ”Your Qin Family is at death’s door, yet you still dare to boast! I’ll make you taste a fate worse than death!”

Suddenly, the surrounding Spiritual Qi swirled violently, and ripples of green light enveloped Third Elder’s body.

The green ripples surged and rotated, forming countless leaves. Each leaf was extremely sharp and carried powerful energy.

Third Elder shouted, ”Qin Yi, you are doomed today!”

She decided to kill Qin Yi first and then thoroughly torture the remaining Qin Family members; this was the price for mocking her just now.

”Green Leaf Whirling Dance!”

At Third Elder’s command, countless leaves lunged toward Qin Yi, the surrounding space hissing as it was sliced apart.

Seeing this, Qin Yi gave a cold laugh. His Second Layer Martial Saint cultivation was released without reservation, and Spiritual Qi exploded forth.

A hundred-zhang-tall Desolate Giant Palm rapidly condensed, entwined with black Death Qi.

”Third Elder, die!” Qin Yi said in a low voice, giving his palm a gentle push.

The Desolate Giant Palm slammed down, carrying boundless energy.

Feeling the powerful Aura of Qin Yi’s Martial Saint realm, Third Elder’s heart filled with terror. She said tremblingly, ”Qin Yi, how can you be a Martial Saint?”

Third Elder’s first instinct was to flee, but the Desolate Giant Palm approached at a speed visible to the naked eye; she could not outrun it.

”Qin Yi, you cannot kill me! I am a member of the Qing Clan!” Third Elder shouted threateningly, her eyes full of fear.

Qin Yi snorted coldly and said, ”I don’t care if you’re from the Qing Clan or an Imperial Clan. Those who offend my Qin Family have only one end.”

”And that is death!”

With a bang!

The Desolate Giant Palm destroyed the countless green leaves with overwhelming power. Its energy undiminished, it continued to charge at Third Elder.

Qin Yi knew she was from the Qing Clan and yet still dared to kill her? Was he not afraid of the Qing Clan’s revenge?

With profound terror and disbelief in her eyes, Third Elder screamed frantically, ”Qin Yi, our Qing Clan will not let you go!”

There was a massive explosion!

The Desolate Giant Palm struck Third Elder, and her body instantly dissipated, leaving only a faint wisp of Aura in the air to prove she had ever been there.

A light breeze blew, scattering even that remaining trace of Third Elder’s Aura.

After dealing with Third Elder, Qin Yi moved in a flash and returned to his courtyard.

Seeing Qin Yi return, Xiao Hei and Big Red quickly flew over.

Xiao Hei now had a Ninth Layer Martial Ancestor cultivation, while Big Red was at the Ninth Layer Martial Emperor level.

The chubby Big Red spoke excitedly, ”Clan Chief, you were so domineering just now! Qing Clan, Imperial Clan—whatever they are, if they provoke our Qin Family, they die!”

Big Red spoke gleefully, flapping its wings to describe the scene from before.

The tsundere Xiao Hei also spoke up, ”The Clan Chief indeed had the bearing of a Martial Saint. That Third Elder dared to threaten a Martial Saint; she was truly seeking death.”

Looking at these two lively and cute birds, Qin Yi was in a great mood.

Although Big Red’s cultivation wasn’t much, it was quite good at being funny and brought Qin Yi a lot of joy in daily life... Meanwhile, the news of Qin Yi killing Third Elder was detected by scouts from various forces and quickly sent back to their respective organizations.

Lingxu Academy.

An academy steward hurried behind Great Elder of Lingxu Academy and reported, ”Grand Elder, Third Elder has been killed by Qin Yi.”

”According to the news we received, Qin Yi is indeed a Martial Saint.”

Great Elder of Lingxu Academy turned around, his face showing a very relieved expression. ”Fortunately, we didn’t move against the Qin Family back then, otherwise we would have faced a great disaster.”

The academy steward nodded in agreement. ”Yes, the Grand Elder was wise. Qin Yi isn’t even afraid of the Qing Clan; wiping out our academy would be effortless for him.”

Great Elder of Lingxu Academy nodded slightly and ordered in a deep voice, ”Take some gifts to the Qin Family and express our Lingxu Academy’s apologies.”

The academy steward respectfully accepted the command, ”As you wish, Grand Elder.”

Looking at the deacon’s departing back, Great Elder of Lingxu Academy sighed with emotion. ”Fortunately, the academy’s founder was wise and stipulated that our Lingxu Academy should remain neutral and not participate in any power struggles.”

”Otherwise, this time, our Lingxu Academy would have ceased to exist.”

Other leaders of various forces also showed expressions of surprise when they learned that the Qin Family was truly a Martial Saint Family.

It was truly incredible that a Martial Saint Family had appeared in the Land of a Hundred Kingdoms.

At the same time, some forces were dismissive. To dare kill someone from the Qing Clan—given the Qing Clan’s overbearing nature, they would certainly not let the Qin Family off.

Wushuang City.

A towering and magnificent pavilion pierced the clouds. Inside the luxurious hall on the top floor.

Above, a handsome young man wearing a white fox-fur coat lay reclined on a throne.

What was most noticeable was that his skin was even whiter than a woman’s. If not for his prominent Adam’s apple, one would have suspected he was a woman.

This was the president of the Red Moon Chamber of Commerce—Bai Zihua. At a young age, his cultivation had already reached the Martial Saint Seventh Level.

Two graceful young girls stood on either side. They were beautiful, like fairies from a painting.

The girl in purple held a fruit plate with a beaming smile and said softly, ”President, try the Red Longevity Grapes our chamber just brought in.”

A bright red grape the size of a thumb, emitting a dense Spiritual Qi, was fed into Bai Zihua’s mouth.

Bai Zihua tasted it and praised, ”Xiao Zi’s spiritual Red Longevity Grapes are indeed not bad. The Spiritual Qi is dense, and they are sweet and delicious.”

The girl in green on the other side smiled and said, ”President, these are spiritual hongyu jujube; they are also very delicious.”

As she spoke, the girl in green used her small hand to pick up a Red Jade Date and put it into Bai Zihua’s mouth.

Bai Zihua tasted it and praised, ”Not bad, Xiao Qing’s spiritual hongyu jujube are also very tasty.”

Then, Bai Zihua said loudly, ”You have both done well. You shall be rewarded.”

As soon as he finished speaking, two seventh-grade Medicinal Pills fell into the hands of Xiao Zi and Xiao Qing. Both were overjoyed and quickly put the pills away. ”Thank you for the reward, President.”

At this time, an elderly man in black with a powerful Aura entered the hall and said solemnly, ”President, all the information on the Qin Family of the Land of a Hundred Kingdoms has been collected.”

After speaking, the jade slip in the black-clothed elder’s hand turned into a streak of light and flew toward Bai Zihua.

The black-clothed elder was the Grand Elder of the Red Moon Chamber of Commerce—Bai Xiong.
