The First Venerable of All Paths

"presumptuous!"

Li Xintong's words were like slaps to the faces of the Li family, stinging with pain.

Immediately, an elder of the Li family pointed at Li Xintong and angrily shouted, "Li Xintong, you heartless and ungrateful daughter! The Li family has raised you for so many years and tried every means to let you marry into the Gu family and enjoy a life of luxury, but how have you repaid the family?"

"You destroyed your own father's martial veins, poisoned your own elder brother, and slaughtered your own clan! You are utterly rebellious! You are worse than a pig or a dog, unworthy of being human!"

"Yes, they're worse than pigs and dogs, unworthy of being human!"

All members of the Li family harshly criticized Li Xintong, their faces filled with resentment.

Li Xintong's words just now were too harsh.

But because her strength was so terrifying, these people didn't dare to say anything.

Now that the old matriarch has come out, they naturally want to take revenge.

No matter what, the Li family is a prominent family in Mingyue County, and it's a big day for them to marry into the Gu family.

Li Xintong's meddling not only caused the Li family to lose face, but it could also affect their marriage alliance with the Gu family.

If Li Xintong is not severely punished, the Li family will become a laughing stock in Mingyue County and will never be able to hold their heads high again.

"Grandma, this rebellious daughter has harmed her own siblings and relatives, and committed heinous crimes by rebelling against her superiors."

The elder bowed and clasped his hands in a salute to Old Madam Li, and said with a righteous and stern expression:

"We implore the matriarch to intervene and severely punish this rebellious daughter, to uphold family traditions and demonstrate the family's authority!"

"Please, Madam, severely punish this rebellious daughter to uphold family values!"

The members of the Li family all spoke up, their eyes and tone suggesting they wished to execute Li Xintong immediately.

"Family traditions? Family authority?"

[Li Xintong] had a sarcastic expression and her tone was full of mockery.

"What kind of family values ​​do you have, a family that sells its daughters for personal gain, a selfish and cold-blooded clan? What family dignity do you speak of?"

Her gaze swept across the faces of all the Li family members, her icy voice as chilling as the wind.

"If I were you, I would have already found a rope and hanged myself. Living is a waste of spiritual energy and just makes us a laughing stock."

"You, you, you..."

Li Xintong's blunt words left the oldest elder trembling and speechless.

"puff!"

He felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, then coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed heavily to the ground.

"The Grand Elder has vomited blood!"

"The Grand Elder has fainted!"

The elder was so angry that he vomited blood, causing chaos and confusion for the Li family.

"You rebellious daughter, look what you've done!"

Li Meng, struggling to stay upright, pointed at Li Xintong and coldly shouted, "How have you angered the Grand Elder? Why aren't you kneeling down and apologizing, begging the Old Madam for forgiveness?"

"Shut up!"

Li Xintong looked at her coldly and said, "Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"

The murderous look in his eyes sent a chill down Li Meng's spine, and he quickly ducked into the crowd.

He believed that this rebellious woman was truly capable of killing him.

"That's enough!"

While everyone was arguing, Old Madam Li suddenly slammed her cane into the air.

The powerful aura swept in all directions, rendering the Li family members speechless.

"Aren't you ashamed enough already?"

Old Madam Li's cloudy gaze swept over everyone, her tone filled with extreme anger and dissatisfaction.

"A bunch of disgraceful bastards! You've completely ruined the century-old reputation of the Li family!"

The Li family members were so frightened that they lowered their heads and dared not even breathe, for fear of angering the old matriarch.

Li Meng, in particular, had just had his cultivation destroyed, so under the oppressive aura of the old matriarch, he collapsed to the ground, his face filled with fear.

He clearly sensed that the old lady's gaze had carried a hint of murderous intent.

In his fear, Li Meng harbored even greater resentment towards Li Xintong.

If it weren't for this rebellious daughter, how could he have had his cultivation abolished, lost face, and incurred the displeasure of the old matriarch?

The matriarch was the pillar of the Li family, the true power holder.

As long as Li Xintong marries into the Gu family, his status in the Li family will rise accordingly.

If the old lady is pleased, she might even make him the head of the Li family.

However, all of this beauty was destroyed by Li Xintong, this rebellious daughter.

That little bitch, just like her lowly birth mother, is an ungrateful wretch!

Even now, Li Meng has not realized his mistake.

He blamed everything on Li Xintong.

"You rebellious daughter, do you know your crime?"

Old Madam Li looked at Li Xintong with a cold gaze.

"Do you know you're guilty?"

Li Xintong scoffed, "You old geezer, have you lost your mind? What right do you have to question me?"

Everyone stared wide-eyed at Li Xintong in disbelief.

They never expected that Li Xintong would dare to speak to Old Madam Li like that.

That's really reckless.

"You rebellious daughter, don't drag me down with you!"

Li Meng's legs went weak with fear. He hurriedly kowtowed to Old Madam Li, desperately trying to explain, "Old Madam, I have severed all ties with this rebellious daughter. Everything she said and did has nothing to do with me."

The matriarch of the Li family has always been the one who has the final say.

This little brat dared to talk back to the old lady like that; he was truly afraid that in a fit of anger, the old lady would slap him to death.

"Shut up!"

The old lady struck Li Meng with her cane, her powerful force pressing him to the ground, rendering him unable to move.

"Girl, I know you're feeling wronged."

Old Madam Li looked at Li Xintong and forced a smile onto her face.

She tried her best to make her tone sound gentle.

"But I know you're a good child. No matter what, the blood of the Li family flows in your veins, and that kinship cannot be severed."

Old Madam Li smiled slightly and said, "As long as you lower your head and admit your mistake to everyone, I guarantee that I will not pursue the matter that happened before, and I will still give you a grand and glorious marriage into the Gu family."

Everyone in the Li family thought they had misheard.

Li Xintong killed the head of the family and the young master, and even turned against the family. The old lady not only did not pursue the matter, but even wanted to let her marry into the Gu family.

What was the old lady thinking?

Only some elders of the Li family who knew Old Madam Li's temperament understood that she valued profit the most.

She supports whoever is useful to the family and can bring huge benefits to the family.

Compared to Fang Shanhai, Old Madam Li has even less of a bottom line.

"Admit your mistake?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xintong suddenly laughed.

"good."

Grandma Li said with a smile, "Actually, I don't mean to do anything to you. It's just that you did make a mistake, and making you admit your mistake is just giving each other a way out."

"You rebellious daughter, what are you standing there for?"

Upon hearing the old lady's words, Li Meng thought his chance had come again.

He quickly said, "Hurry up and apologize to everyone, or I'll pretend I don't have a daughter like you."

Li Meng's fickle nature made everyone see his despicable face clearly.

Li Xintong completely ignored Li Meng.

She looked at Old Madam Li, her mockery undisguised.

"You old geezer, stop putting on this kind and gentle act in front of everyone. You're disgusting, but I'm about to throw up."

[Li Xintong] changed her tone and said coldly, "Do you really think I don't know how you treated my sister back then?"

"You little bitch, you've gone too far!"

Old Madam Li's expression changed, and she said in a sharp voice, "I kindly found you a marriage so you could rise in status and become a phoenix, and you are so ungrateful! It's simply outrageous!"

"There's absolutely no need for that!"

Li Xintong said, "If you think the Gu family is so good, why don't you marry them yourself?"

"boom!"

These words shocked everyone present.

These words are utterly outrageous.

No one expected Li Xintong to refuse in such a way.

Even Old Madam Li could scold anyone she wanted to.

"presumptuous!"

Old Madam Li's face turned pale with anger, and her thin, hunched body trembled incessantly, clearly indicating that she was extremely angry.

"You little wretch, since you refuse to listen to reason, then don't blame me for resorting to family discipline today!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a violent aura swept out from the old lady and pressed down on Li Xintong.

This force caused many people present to change their expressions drastically, making it difficult for them to even stand still.

"Boom!"

Despite this overwhelming pressure, Li Xintong remained unmoved.

A terrifying surge of spiritual power erupted from her body, shattering the oppressive aura of Old Madam Li.

She took a step forward.

He stood in mid-air without his feet touching the ground.

Then, Li Xintong stepped into the air and walked towards Old Madam Li.

With each step she took, Li Xintong's aura grew stronger.

"A third-grade Soul Master!"

That peculiar spiritual power horrified everyone, causing them to gasp in shock.

A third-grade Soul Master is equivalent to a martial arts expert at the Divine Intent Realm.

She was a rank higher than that of Old Madam Li.

With a wave of her hand, Li Xintong sent a wooden hairpin flying around her like a sword.

"Old hag, you should recognize this wooden hairpin, shouldn't you?"

Holding the wooden hairpin, Li Xintong looked at Old Madam Li with cold eyes.

"This, this is..."

Old Madam Li's cloudy eyes suddenly narrowed, and she exclaimed, "The Soul-Controlling Hairpin? Where did you get this?"

"Looks like you're not completely blind yet."

【Li Xintong】her aura was fully unleashed, and a violent killing intent enveloped Old Madam Li.

"Back then, just because my sister refused to marry into another family as you arranged, you vicious old hag actually had Li Mozhan poison her, which led to my sister being ambushed and fatally injured."

"What right do you have to impose your so-called family discipline on me today?"

Li Xintong's words were filled with anguish.

"You are the most selfish, cold-blooded, and ruthless one!"

As soon as the voice fell, an uproar erupted from all directions.

Everyone then remembered that the Li family once had a bright pearl, a proud daughter of heaven.

She cultivates both spiritual and martial arts, possessing exceptional talent.

In a short period of time, he became the number one prodigy in the entire Mingyue County, surpassing his peers.

However, pride is easily broken.

This pearl of Mingyue County, however, was like a comet, appearing only briefly.

No one expected that all of this was the work of Old Madam Li.

Including Fang Xuan.

I was also taken aback by what Li Xintong said.

He had heard Li Xintong say that her sister was murdered, so before she died, she had to use a secret method to attach her remnant soul to Li Xintong.

Now, hearing the truth of what happened back then from Li Xintong's own mouth is simply... shocking.

Everyone looked at Old Madam Li with shock and fear.

That old lady Li, what vicious methods she uses.

"Nonsense!"

An extreme rage appeared on Old Madam Li's wrinkled face.

"You despicable wretch who spreads heresy, I will tear you to pieces today as a warning to others!"
