Jiang Siqi looked at his wife's ex-husband, his brows furrowing slightly.
He was usually easy to talk to and considered himself quite magnanimous, but upon hearing the other party's words, a nameless anger welled up inside him.
He hadn't reacted even though the other person had been quite offensive to his wife Yin Yue, in front of him.
They actually want him to give away the resources he gained through Life and Death battles to Yin Yuan, to benefit his son?
Why should he? It's not like he doesn't have a son. Even if he can't use him now, he can use him later.
Of course, Jiang Siqi didn't refute anything in the end. He had no interest in the Spiritual Spring whatsoever. If he really wanted it, he could have swallowed his pride and asked Jiang Ping for it back then. Why did he have to fight to the death?
Thinking of this, Jiang Siqi stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute to his Father-in-law Yin Xiang, and directly stated his thoughts:
"Father-in-law, your son-in-law wishes to leave the Yin Clan and establish his own household."
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, the previously noisy dinner table instantly fell silent.
Patriarch Yin Xiang raised an eyebrow, looked at Jiang Siqi, and said:
"You've had a good life in my Yin Clan, so why do you always want to leave? If you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about Xiaoyue and your child. With my Yin Clan as your backing, what resources don't you have? If you go out and start your own business, who knows how many obstacles you'll face."
"Brother-in-law, you absolutely mustn't do that. I also wanted to go out and make a name for myself back then, but I ended up coming home empty-handed."
A somewhat young man offered his advice.
He is Yin Yue's younger brother, Yin Hu, and has a good relationship with Jiang Siqi.
"It's not easy for a martial saint to establish a clan. Staying with the Yin Clan family is fine; there's no need to leave."
"Brother, you're still too young. It's so comfortable working under your Father-in-law's protection. Going it alone is just asking for trouble."
Many key figures couldn't help but advise against it, believing that breaking away from the Yin Clan was not a wise move.
"Yes, I'm not in a trance, why force myself to suffer? What if I make an enemy and die without anyone to claim my body?"
"Idiot, it seems Yin Yue doesn't have good taste; how could she have chosen such a fool?"
Many people couldn't help but scoff, thinking that Jiang Siqi was being unrealistic and somewhat arrogant.
At this moment, hearing the laughter of many people, Yin He was somewhat displeased and shouted at Jiang Siqi:
"Xiao Jiang, you've had too much to drink. Sit down!"
Jiang Siqi ignored him and just looked at his Father-in-law:
"Please grant my Father-in-law -in-law."
Although Little Jiang's presence gave him confidence, he also hoped that he could resolve the matter himself.
"Huh? You dare disobey me?"
Yin He stared at Jiang Siqi, even more annoyed. His brother-in-law, who usually bossed him around, was now ignoring him.
"Please sit down. We have many guests present. We can discuss this matter tomorrow."
The head of the family Yin Xiang, waved his hand, gesturing for Jiang Siqi to sit down.
"With both families here, it's really inappropriate to discuss these things now. I will definitely ask my father to grant our request tomorrow."
Yin Yue, who was standing to the side, transmitted her voice.
Her second surprise was that her husband would bring up the matter of leaving the Yin Clan in front of so many people.
Of course, she would support her husband's decision, but if this matter caused her father to lose face, it would probably be even more difficult for her to break away.
Finally, Jiang Siqi sat down.
"Hmph, we all came here to discuss the matter of the Spiritual Spring, but your foolish words have wasted our time. Why don't you pour us some wine as an apology?"
At this moment, Yin He looked at Jiang Siqi and said coldly.
Jiang Siqi looked up at his brother-in-law, which was one of the reasons why he had always wanted to leave the Yin Clan.
On Xuanxin Island, he was the head of the family, ruling the world. When had he ever suffered such humiliation, being ordered around and treated like a servant?
Even though he was a Martial Saint at the Eighth Heaven, he always felt that he did not receive the respect he deserved in this place.
Yin Yue glanced at her unmoved father and sighed inwardly.
She knew that her elder brother had never treated her husband as family, and her father was no different. He appeared to value her husband, but in reality, he only wanted her man to fight on the battlefield and acquire resources for the Yin Clan.
Yin Yue transmitted her voice:
"Just tolerate him this once. Tomorrow, there's no need to say anything more; let's elope and live the life you want."
"It's alright, we'll leave openly and honestly."
Jiang Siqi patted his wife's hand.
Then he began pouring drinks for everyone; well, he was very skilled, clearly not the first time.
"That's more like it."
Yin He was very satisfied with his brother-in-law's attitude.
Jiang Siqi didn't say a word. After pouring wine for her brother-in-law, she bypassed the person she disliked and went straight to her brother-in-law.
"No need to trouble you, brother-in-law, I can do it myself." Yin Hu, the brother-in-law, took the wine pot himself, looking apologetic.
Although he was the brother-in-law's younger brother, he came from a concubine's family and had no say in front of his elder brother Yin He.
At this moment, Yin Yue's Ex-husband, who had been ignored, was playing with the empty wine glass, but he chuckled and said:
"That's what 'phoenix men' are like. They eat and drink at other people's expense, use that to get through a hurdle, and then feel like they've grown wings. They say they want to fly solo, but really they just want dignity."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Siqi couldn't hold back any longer.
Is he a "phoenix man" (a man from a poor background who achieves success)?
He did indeed break through to the Eighth Heaven the Heavenly Realm at the Yin Clan, but he did so with the resources provided by his own descendants. He never used a single resource from the Yin Clan!
He gave all the resources that the Yin Clan provided to him afterward to his wife, and he didn't take a single penny for himself.
"Shut up!" Yin Yue stared at her ex-husband, her disgust reaching its peak.
Jiang Siqi stared at Yin Yuan's father, a murderous glint rising in her eyes.
"Say it again?"
What, did I touch a sore spot?
Yin Yue's Ex-husband laughed even harder.
Meanwhile, the brother-in-law Yin He, was somewhat disappointed in Jiang Siqi and couldn't help but coldly rebuke her again:
"What, are you going to use force against our distinguished guest?"
Clang!
In the distance, Jiang Ping threw down his wine glass.
Before he came, Shangguan told him to be restrained, and he felt he had been patient enough.
But given the situation, there's nothing we can do!
Ta-da!
The hall was silent, the atmosphere tense, with only the sound of footsteps gradually approaching.
Everyone looked up and saw an extremely young and unfamiliar man walk into the hall.
"Where did this brat come from? Get out of here! This is no place for you to come in!"
A Peerless martial saint couldn't help but shout.
In reality, he had already recognized that this was Jiang Siqi's junior, who was deliberately scolding Jiang Ping and even trying to intimidate him with his strength, intending to humiliate Jiang Siqi.
Bang!
A cloud of blood suddenly rose, and the Peerless martial saint exploded instantly, splattering blood all over the living room.
In an instant, everyone inside and outside the hall was stunned.
No one could have imagined that a perfectly good banquet would suddenly turn into a tragedy, and the one who died was none other than a Peerless martial saint, the Direct son Shenyou.
Do you want to exterminate your entire clan?
Yin He immediately stood up, staring at Jiang Ping with murderous intent, both shocked and furious.
This was the Yin Clan's banquet, hosted by his father, and yet someone dared to cause trouble and kill someone, especially Shen Youzi. His father would have a hard time explaining this.
"Haha, Yin Yue, you have such good taste! The man is such a hothead, and he's produced another hothead as a junior."
Yin Yue's Ex-husband was grinning from ear to ear, tears streaming down his face.
This must be the best play he's seen in recent years.
"Even if you are Jiang Siqi's junior, you must atone with your death; there is no chance of survival!"
The Yin Clan, along with another family of martial arts masters, surrounded Jiang Ping, preparing to suppress him.
"Etc..."
Yin Xiang, who was seated at the head of the table, changed his expression slightly, realizing something was wrong. He tried to call a halt, but it was too late.
Bang! Bang!
Jiang Ping made a sudden and devastating move, unleashing a palm strike that shocked the world.
The eight Great Accomplishment Martial Saints were as fragile as paper, instantly blown to pieces, their flesh splattered everywhere.
Snap!
A lump of rotten flesh splattered on Yin Yue's Ex-husband's face, sending chills down his spine and nearly scaring him out of his wits.
Those were eight Great Accomplishment Martial Saints, and they were killed with a single slap. You can imagine how strong the opponent was.
This is a mental wandering!
At this moment, no one could remain calm.
"The person we were just chatting with was Shenyou."
The genius martial arts masters outside were somewhat dazed; the Martial Bone Talent not a martial arts master, but rather a spirit wandering.
"Is Little Jiang daydreaming?"
Jiang Siqi's wife, Yin Yue, was also shocked.
No wonder my husband often mentions this junior, praising his talent; it turns out he's already Great Being in the Spirit Wander Realm.
She then thought that the man, who was always tolerant, had given her two surprises today: first, he beat her, and then he brought up the matter of leaving her at an inopportune time during the meeting.
It turns out that her husband wasn't relying on this younger woman, but rather treating her as his own support!
"If it was a mental journey, why wasn't it explained beforehand!"
Yin Yue's brother, Yin He, couldn't help but question, "If you have this strength, why hide it? Then your former brother-in-law wouldn't dare to offend your current brother-in-law."
"Little Jiang."
Jiang Siqi sighed slightly. She had intended to handle it herself, but in the end, she still had to rely on her juniors for support.
Fellow Daoist!
Everyone present was surprised, but in terms of sheer astonishment, it was Yin Xiang, who was seated at the head of the table.
He quickly got up, hurried downstairs, and walked politely toward Jiang Ping.
He was extremely surprised and cautious, realizing that the opponent's Primordial Spirit was extremely strong, seemingly no weaker than his own.
This is a master who has transcended the Four-Nine Tribulations!
Moreover, the other party was Jiang Siqi's junior, just over a hundred years old.
This is truly terrifying to think about. To have survived the Four-Nine Tribulation at such a young age is definitely legendary. He is exceptionally talented and has the potential to survive the Seven-Nine Tribulation.
Such a person, once he matures, even he wouldn't dare to offend him.
No, he can't do anything to the other party now.
As he passed Jiang Siqi, the old man felt a mix of emotions.
If they had told us beforehand that we would have such a terrible junior, this scene wouldn't have happened.
"Fellow Daoist, please calm down and let's talk this out."
Yin Xiang clasped his hands in a fist salute to Jiang Ping, his face beaming with a warm smile.
"If only you treated my husband like that."
Looking at her father's enthusiastic expression towards Little Jiang, Yin Yue sighed inwardly.
Normally, her father had never been so enthusiastic towards his own husband, but he always showed plenty of smiles towards his husband's descendants.
Ultimately, it comes down to judging people by their abilities.
Then, she showed joy, realizing that her judgment was spot on. Her husband was strong, and the younger generation from her hometown were even more impressive, which made her father treat them with the utmost respect, even more so than his own son.
However, just when everyone thought the matter was about to end, Jiang Ping glanced indifferently at the man who had traveled to the Spirit Wander Fifth Heaven and coldly uttered:
"Get lost, you old bastard! Either stand quietly to the side and don't make a sound, or I'll wipe you out first, then slaughter the entire Yin Clan to eliminate any future threats!"
Boom!
Like a thunderclap from a clear sky, it stunned everyone.
This Otherworldly guests, Jiang Siqi's descendant, is incredibly arrogant. He dares to rebuke even a master at the Spirit Wander Fifth Heaven, and constantly threatens to exterminate his clan, as if they were mortal enemies.
Yin Xiang's smile vanished abruptly, replaced by a surge of anger.
He was, after all, a figure of considerable influence, ruling over a vast territory, and his word was law on Lingchuan Island. When had anyone ever dared to threaten him like this?
Do you really think he has no temper?
Just as Yin Xiang was about to lash out, a voice transmission sounded in his ear at the perfect moment:
He is Jiang Pingping.
"(,,#ﾟДﾟ)" Yin Xiang.
He was instantly stunned.
Sky!
Jiang Pingping!
Jiang Pingping, who almost killed Golden Haze Peerless, Jiang Pingping, who even the big shots of the Seventh Heaven had to bow down to!
