Sometimes, having a family that is too united isn’t necessarily a good thing—it can easily lead to the entire clan being wiped out due to the actions of those at the top.
Fang Zheng dared to act this way because he had a trump card, but his clansmen didn’t know that. All they saw was their clan leader sacrificing himself to buy the family a slim chance of survival.
But would it really work?
The Wang Family was infamous for their ruthlessness and tyranny. Once they made a move, it meant total annihilation—uprooting the entire family to eliminate any future threats!
The clan leader’s sacrifice would likely be meaningless, but seeing his resolute expression, the Fang family members still halted their steps.
At the same time, high above, the Wang Family Ancestor, having witnessed everything, descended before Fang Zheng and sneered, "How touching. Fang Zheng, if you had known it would come to this, do you regret not disciplining your son properly back then?"
Fang Zheng remained calm. "I don’t believe my son, Fang Fan, did anything wrong. I only hate myself for not being strong enough—for failing to be his support and instead becoming his weakness."
"Hahaha! At least you have some self-awareness!" The Wang Family Ancestor laughed. "Exactly. Weakness is the original sin. If you tell me Fang Fan’s whereabouts now, I might consider giving you all a quick death!"
Fang Zheng fell silent for a moment, then gazed at him with a profound look. "So, even if I cooperate, there’s no chance for the Fang family to survive?"
"Hahaha, don’t kid yourself!" The Wang Family Ancestor smirked coldly. "The Wang Family has dominated Yunzhou for so long by adhering to two principles: first, be merciless, and second, never show mercy!"
"Right now, you only have two choices: either the Fang family dies quickly, or you watch them suffer a slow and agonizing death!"
[Ding! Detected that you are under threat from a powerful enemy, and your current strength is insufficient to resolve the situation!]
[Assistance task generated: Group member ‘I Really Don’t Want to Be a Sacrifice’ is in grave danger due to his son’s extraordinary talent attracting the envy of powerful forces. His own strength cannot resolve this crisis. Capable group members are requested to lend aid.]
[Task combat requirement: Above 2.5 million.]
[Task reward: 3 million points, 250,000 group EXP.]
[Task synchronized to the group. All members have 30 seconds to decide whether to accept. If no one takes it, the task will be forwarded to the public zone.]
[Light God Unemployed: Damn, as expected of Lord Fang—such a grand gesture right off the bat!]
[Two-Sleeved Sword Immortal: This might be difficult for us, but for the group leader, it’s just a trivial matter. With 200,000 group EXP, the benefits will level up again. Truly, following the group leader means feasting three times a day!]
[I Really Don’t Want to Be a Sacrifice: Group leader, save me!]
[Damn Heavenly Tribulation Still Chasing Me: Don’t worry, I’m here. The chaos you’ve stirred will be quelled by me!]
[The group leader has accepted the task. Spatial teleportation initiating.]
Fang Zheng’s heart immediately settled, his sense of security maxed out. Without hesitation, he said, "Fine, I agree!"
With that, he took out his son’s lifebound jade token.
Of course, he wasn’t actually planning to summon his son to his death—he just needed to buy a little time. In fact, he even wanted his son to come and witness the show. "Son, your old man might not be much, but he knows how to call for backup!"
No matter how impressive the kid was, he still needed to stay low-key. After all, Fang Fan only had the potential to become an Emperor, while the group leader, with his 900 million combat power, might very well be a true Emperor!
Back in the Fang family, seeing him pull such a reckless move, the clan’s strongest elder roared in anguish, "Fang Zheng! What are you doing? Without Fang Fan, our Fang family truly has no hope of rising again!"
Fang Zheng paused, then suddenly burst into laughter. "Simple—I’ll just become invincible!"
As he spoke, the void above him twisted, and a dazzling spatial vortex slowly materialized.
The sudden anomaly startled the Wang Family Ancestor, who instinctively took half a step back.
Slap!
But Fang Zheng didn’t care. Seizing the moment, he delivered a resounding slap across the old man’s face!
"You damned old fossil, I’ve had enough of you!"
"You—you dare?!" Caught off guard, the Wang Family Ancestor took the hit squarely and erupted in fury, raising his palm to strike Fang Zheng down!
At that moment, his palm was a mere 0.01 meters away from Fang Zheng’s skull—but then, an eerie ripple swept through the air, and his hand froze in place.
The surrounding space instantly solidified. Everyone present seemed to be under a binding spell, unable to move a muscle.
Only Fang Zheng, protected by the chat group system, remained unaffected. Trembling with excitement, he stared fervently at the composed figure slowly stepping out of the spatial vortex.
The man hadn’t even fully emerged, yet just a wisp of his aura had suppressed the Wang Family Ancestor. This was the power of a 900 million combat power expert?!
"Welcome, Great Group Leader!"
"Hm." Chen Yi gave a slight nod.
This time, there was no language barrier. The world’s linguistic encryption was in the universal tongue, saving him the trouble of soul-searching to decode it and avoiding contamination by this world’s heavenly aura.
Nearby, the Wang Family Ancestor, immobilized in place, felt his soul tremble as he stammered, "E-Emperor?!"
This oppressive aura that seemed to crush the void, this presence that made his Quasi-Emperor laws crumble uncontrollably...
There was no mistake!
This man before him was an Emperor!
But how was this possible?!
The previous Emperor had only severed his Dao and joined the Dark Forbidden Lands less than a millennium ago. The Heavenly Heart Mark hadn’t even reformed yet—how could another Emperor-level existence appear?!
And to make matters worse, Fang Zheng had summoned him?!
What kind of joke was this? What right did a minor family like the Fangs have to such a connection?!
Chen Yi glanced at him indifferently before turning to Fang Zheng. "What are the task requirements?"
Fang Zheng pondered briefly before replying, "Great Group Leader, this is an upgradable task. The objective is to eradicate the Wang Family completely, cutting off all future troubles. The rewards will increase accordingly. It’s optional—you can decide whether to take it."
Chen Yi didn’t hesitate. "Take it. Why wouldn’t I?"
The previous task only offered 150,000 points—not even enough to buy a single Immortal Yuan Stone. It wasn’t even worth the effort.
This task, however, offered 3 million points—enough for 15 Immortal Yuan Stones. If he could earn more, why turn it down?
"Understood, Great Group Leader." Fang Zheng nodded, then turned a frosty gaze toward the Wang Family Ancestor. "Please, eliminate this wretch."
Hearing this, the Wang Family Ancestor’s mind went blank.
Had he gone mad, or had the world?
Since when did Fang Zheng have the right to command a suspected Emperor?!
And since when did Wang Chen, of all people, have the misfortune to face an Emperor?!
"N-no, there must be some misunderstanding, Senior. Please, I—"
Chen Yi couldn’t be bothered to listen. With a snap of his fingers, the Wang Family Ancestor instantly turned to ash, scattered without a trace.
From the moment one embarked on the path of cultivation, their life was entrusted to the heavens.
The road of cultivation was fraught with peril—contending with heaven, earth, and fellow cultivators alike. In this world of survival of the fittest, dying halfway was only natural.
Chen Yi had two principles: first, do not kill mortals; second, do not kill those blessed with virtue.
Clearly, the Wang Family Ancestor met none of the criteria—perfect for aiding his cultivation!

Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!!

u serious?" Chen Feng watched helplessly as his painstakingly trained disciple, fresh off a championship victory, publicly abandoned him. "You had your chance, but you didn’t appreciate it.

Chen Feng possessed the "Master System," a treasure trove of supreme martial arts techniques, capable of molding ordinary individuals into peerless prodigies. "Legs like yours? A shame not to train in the Crippling Kick." "Ever heard of a palm strike that descends from the heavens?" "Auntie!

The once-defiant senior disciple, now watching her juniors rise to fame one after another, dominating the internet, was consumed by endless regret.
