The First Venerable of All Paths

"Wait a moment!"

Just as Old Madam Li was about to make a move, Steward Liang, who had been silent all along, spoke up.

"Old Madam Li, I have no interest in the filth and corruption within your Li family."

Steward Liang gave a perfunctory bow to Old Madam Li and said, "But today is a joyous day for the Gu family. My young master is waiting for me to bring his bride back. If we miss the auspicious time, even you might not be able to withstand the wrath of the Gu family, would you?"

Old Madam Li's anger was immediately extinguished by Steward Liang's words.

Her withered, emaciated face shifted between light and shadow.

"Manager Liang is right."

Old Madam Li took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart.

"This matter was due to my oversight, and I will certainly give the Gu family a satisfactory explanation."

Manager Liang frowned and said impatiently, "Then I'll trouble you to hurry, Madam. My time with the Gu family is very precious."

Old Madam Li looked at Li Xintong and said in a firm tone, "You unfilial daughter, stop making trouble! Go and pack your things right now, and go with Steward Liang to the Gu family to get married!"

"You old geezer, you really have no shame."

[Li Xintong] said coldly, "People need face, trees need bark. Your shamelessness is truly astonishing."

"Do you think you can just brush that matter off with a few words?"

The killing intent emanating from Li Xintong grew increasingly fierce.

"That's utterly delusional!"

If it were Li Xintong herself, even if she was dissatisfied with the Li family and made a scene, at most she would sever all ties with the Li family, but she would not completely break off relations with them.

But now she is Li Xintong's older sister.

They were victims back then.

She originally had a bright future ahead of her and could have better protected her younger sister.

But everything was completely destroyed.

He could only exist as a remnant soul, sharing a body with his sister, and had to endure the torment of backlash from time to time, making his life worse than death.

Old Madam Li was the instigator of all this.

She hated the selfish Li Meng and resented Old Madam Li even more.

But this old geezer still wants to marry his sister off to the Gu family in order to benefit the Li family.

This completely touched her sore spot and aroused her murderous intent.

"Today, I will make you, you old bastard, pay the price for what you did back then!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the Soul-Controlling Hairpin in Li Xintong's hand shot towards Old Madam Li like a streak of light.

"You little bitch, this is absolutely outrageous!"

Old Madam Li flew into a rage and pointed at him.

The power of the soul was released, attempting to imprison the Soul-Controlling Hairpin.

However, the power of the Soul Hairpin far exceeded Old Lady Li's imagination.

"Pop!"

With a soft sound, the Soul-Controlling Hairpin seemed to pierce through an invisible wall, striking fiercely towards Old Madam Li's brow.

"How dare you!"

Old Madam Li's expression changed drastically, and her Divine Intent Realm cultivation erupted completely, forcefully blocking the Soul-Controlling Hairpin.

"You insolent little wretch, if I don't teach you a lesson, you'll really think I'm too old for you!"

As Old Madam Li raised her cane, she saw a black venomous snake lunging fiercely at Li Xintong.

"Aww!"

The venomous snake exuded a cold and sinister aura, leaving trails of black smoke in the air.

Clearly, this black snake is venomous and contains potent toxins.

Its toxicity is so high that it can even corrode the air.

"You old geezer, don't embarrass yourself with those kinds of tricks!"

[Li Xintong] snorted coldly, and the divine soul light on the Soul-Controlling Hairpin bloomed, like a sharp sword, cutting through the sky and slicing the black venomous snake in two.

The Soul-Controlling Hairpin remained powerful and continued its rapid advance towards Old Madam Li.

"when!"

With a flick of her cane, Old Madam Li sent the Soul-Controlling Hairpin flying.

But the terrifying force still forced Old Madam Li back several steps, and she let out a muffled groan.

The look in her eyes as she stared at Li Xintong was filled with intense horror.

"How could you be so strong?"

She was a second-grade Soul Master with Divine Intent cultivation, but she was constantly restrained by Li Xintong.

This is completely unlike what a young person could do.

"That just means you're getting old."

[Li Xintong] sneered: "You old hag, I'll repay you today for everything you did to my sister back then!"

[Li Xintong] formed a hand seal, and her divine soul power surged out wildly, pouring into the Soul Hairpin.

"Buzzing!"

The Soul Hairpin trembled violently, and a terrifying and dangerous aura emanated from it.

"Soul Destroyer!"

[Li Xintong] pointed her finger at Old Madam Li, and the Soul Hairpin instantly disappeared from its original spot. When it reappeared, it was already in front of Old Madam Li, and it stabbed fiercely towards her brow.

"You?"

Old Madam Li let out a cold shout, channeling all her spiritual power into her cane, and slammed it down angrily.

"Snap!"

The moment the cane touched the Soul Hairpin, it shattered.

Old Madam Li coughed up a mouthful of black blood and staggered backward.

"Old Madam!"

Seeing that Old Madam Li was defeated, the faces of everyone in the Li family changed.

The old lady was actually defeated by Li Xintong?

"You old hag, die!"

【Li Xintong】controls the Soul Hairpin and stabs it fiercely at Old Madam Li.

"That's enough!"

Just as the Soul-Controlling Hairpin was about to pierce Old Madam Li, a cold shout rang out.

Then, Manager Liang threw out a purple talisman.

The purple talisman transformed into a large bowl, encasing the Soul-Controlling Hairpin within it. No matter how much it struggled, it could not break free.

"A Soul-Sealing Talisman?"

Fang Xuan raised an eyebrow as he looked at the purple talisman.

The Soul-Binding Talisman can imprison soul weapons and soul techniques.

Clearly, Manager Liang came prepared.

"Miss Xintong, you've made enough of a scene, please get into the sedan chair."

Manager Liang said in a commanding tone, "My young master is still waiting for you at home."

"roll!"

Li Xintong's gaze turned cold, and she raised her hand to slap Manager Liang across the face.

The power of his soul transformed into a giant hand and pressed down on Steward Liang.

Manager Liang was able to imprison the Soul-Sealing Hairpin entirely thanks to the Soul-Sealing Talisman.

However, he himself was only at the Qi Condensation Realm.

Faced with Li Xintong's murderous attack, Manager Liang had no strength left to resist and was slapped to the ground.

"Pfft!"

Manager Liang coughed up blood, and countless bones in his body were broken.

If it weren't for the layer of light surrounding him that blocked most of the power, Li Xintong's attack just now would have been enough to kill him.

"Little bitch!"

Steward Liang's eyes were filled with resentment, and he said in an icy tone, "You dare to injure someone before even stepping into the Gu family's gates? You have an enormous audacity!"

He looked towards the wedding procession and said respectfully, "Granny Rong, please take action and capture this little wretch so she can return and marry the young master!"

"Hehe, easy."

A sinister laugh rang out.

Then, from the wedding procession, a woman with a fat face and exaggerated blush on her cheeks swayed out.

She glanced at Old Madam Li with disdain and said sarcastically, "Old Madam Li, you can't even handle a little girl. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if word gets out?"

"Please excuse my poor appearance, Granny Rong."

Despite the presence of Rong Momo, Old Madam Li treated her with utmost respect.

The crowd's expressions changed, their faces filled with apprehension.

Despite being just a servant in the Gu family, Rong Momo held a higher position within the family than some elders.

I heard she's very good at training servants.

No matter how chaste and virtuous you are, once you fall into her hands, you will eventually become an obedient kitten.

The women who were tormented to death by Gu Can were all personally selected and trained by her.

"It doesn't matter if your Li family loses face."

With a forced smile, Rong Momo said, "Today is my young master's wedding day. How can you put on the face of the Gu family after staging this stunt?"

"Granny Rong is right."

Old Madam Li's attitude became increasingly humble, saying, "Today, it was our Li family that was in the wrong. How about we increase the promised dowry by another 30%?"

"Hehe, since Old Madam Li has put it this way, I should give her this much face."

Rong Momo covered her mouth and chuckled, then looked at Li Xintong, raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Madam, come down quickly, we should go back."

"You get out too!"

[Li Xintong] Without any hesitation, she slapped Rong Momo again, her powerful spiritual energy seemingly about to turn Rong Momo into a meat patty.

"You little bitch, you have no manners at all."

Ignoring the soul attack, Rong Momo merely smiled contemptuously: "Then let me teach you some manners!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Rong Momo waved her hand, and several long red needles shot out, piercing several vital points of Li Xintong.

This is Rong Momo's unique weapon, the Divine Needle.

Its reputation is terrifying, and its power is equally impressive.

If one's acupoints are pierced, one's soul and cultivation will be sealed, turning one into a helpless prey.

It was with this magic needle that Rong Momo managed to subdue those women.

No matter how fiery Li Xintong's temperament is, once she falls into the hands of Rong Momo, she will learn what rules are.

The Divine Needle moves extremely fast and is so fine that it is difficult to see with the naked eye.

[Li Xintong] frowned slightly, her mind stirred, and the Soul-Controlling Hairpin broke free from the binding of the Soul-Binding Talisman, turning into a blur as it met the Divine Sealing Needle.

"Jingle bells!"

Sparks flew everywhere in mid-air.

Although Li Xintong blocked most of the Fengshen Needles, two long needles still pierced her chest and Qihai respectively.

Li Xintong's expression changed, and she quickly moved to avoid the two long needles.

"Little girl, don't show off your little bit of strength in front of this old woman."

The next moment, Rong Momo appeared behind Li Xintong like a ghost, and her fat, large hand slammed down.

"Be careful!"

Just as Rong Momo's palm was about to land on Li Xintong, a golden figure suddenly appeared behind her and unleashed a palm strike.

"Bang!"

The two palms collided, and a violent ripple of power swept outwards.

Rong Momo took several steps back, her face dark as she looked at Fang Xuan who had made the move.

"You little beast, how dare you ruin my plans!"

Fang Xuan flicked his arm, dissipating the force from it.

Two blue lotus flowers supported his body beneath his feet.

Fang Xuan didn't even glance at Rong Momo, but simply asked Li Xintong, "How are you? Are you alright?"

"He's not going to die yet."

[Li Xintong] looked at Old Madam Li and said expressionlessly, "Hold her off for a while, I'm going to kill that old bastard."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Soul-Controlling Hairpin began to spin rapidly, causing the surrounding void to transform into a vortex.

A chilling aura of devastation and destruction surged from the vortex, locking onto Old Madam Li.

"Soul annihilated!"

[Li Xintong] raised her arm, pointed at Old Madam Li, and spoke in a voice as cold as ice.

"kill!"
