A handsome young man sat upright in the seat of honor of the Qi family, quietly observing everything around him.

This person was none other than Qi Jiang’s father, Qi Renjia!

His gaze repeatedly drifted, intentionally or otherwise, toward the gifts sent by the Cui family.

After all, the Cui family was a true giant, far stronger than the Qi family!

If the Qi family held great influence in Zhefengdu Divine City—

then the Cui family held enormous influence throughout the northern region of the God Realm.

Both were God Realm families, yet they were not remotely on the same level.

So this time, for Qi Renjia’s birthday celebration, the fact that the Cui family had sent people to deliver gifts gave him tremendous face!

Even though the ones who came bearing gifts were only two disciples from branch families, his mood remained completely unaffected. The smile on his face never faded.

He had even already begun thinking about what sort of return gift he should prepare for them before they left.

What should he give them?

“Young Master Qi Jiang has arrived!”

Following the divine attendant’s loud announcement, the gathered God Clan members all turned to look toward that refined middle aged young master!

To be fair, the contrast between Qi Jiang and Qi Renjia really was rather strange.

The father did not look like a father. He looked like a son.

The son did not look like a son. He looked like a father!

But they were members of the God Clan after all. One could not judge age by appearance.

Moreover, Qi Jiang’s reputation within Zhefengdu Divine City was genuinely excellent!

He was righteous, generous, and eager to help others.

As a result, within this territory, as long as his name was mentioned, everyone would show him some respect.

Once Qi Jiang arrived, the surrounding God Clan members immediately cupped their fists and saluted him in respect.

That scene made Qi Renjia extremely uncomfortable, and he instantly frowned.

Today was his birthday celebration, so why was this brat attracting more attention than him?

Qi Renjia coldly shouted, “Qi Jiang, today is your father’s birthday. Why have you only just arrived? What crime should you be punished for?”

No one knew a son better than his father.

Qi Jiang had always been weak tempered, especially in front of him. He would always lower his head and remain silent.

Even after all the excessive things he had done, Qi Jiang had never dared utter a single complaint.

A person like that was far too easy to control!

Qi Renjia had already decided that he would publicly punish him properly today.

He would let everyone see clearly who truly ruled the Qi family!

Qi Jiang straightened his body and cupped his fists.

“The birthday banquet has not officially begun yet, so how can this be considered late? Father, enjoy this final birthday celebration properly. In the future... you may no longer have the opportunity.”

The moment those words were spoken, the entire venue fell deathly silent.

Everyone wondered whether something had gone wrong with their ears.

How could the refined and elegant Qi Jiang say something so rebellious?

During his own father’s birthday celebration, he was cursing him to die before the next one?

Not only were they shocked, even Ye Yu and Han Yuexi behind Qi Jiang were equally stunned!

Well then.

So the good show he invited them to watch was this?

Openly confronting his own father really was an explosive topic.

Man, you’ve successfully captured our attention.

Qi Renjia clenched his teeth and roared angrily, “You little bastard, do you know what you’re saying? Kneel down and apologize right now!”

Qi Jiang did not obediently comply. Instead, he cupped his fists toward everyone around him and said, “Today, while everyone is gathered here, there are some things I can no longer keep buried.

Three hundred years ago, my father, Qi Renjia, accidentally entered a secret realm and was poisoned by a deadly toxin. There, he obtained a secret technique.

Every time he cultivated it, he required the blood essence of his closest relatives to assist him.

Only then could the technique operate properly and suppress the poison within his body.

Over these past years, every missing descendant of the Qi family was killed by him.

Including my birth mother, Dong Shufei. All of them died at his hands.

To prevent the future extermination of the Qi family, I, Qi Jiang, swear here today that I will personally kill this monster!”

Qi Jiang’s voice echoed throughout the enormous front courtyard of the Qi family.

Some of the confused Qi family God Clan members instinctively retreated a step backward.

For years, members of the Qi family had continuously disappeared.

Everyone had assumed someone was deliberately targeting the Qi family.

Who could have imagined that the murderer was actually the family head himself?

Using the lives of his own clansmen to cultivate a secret technique was simply too cruel!

Not only them—even the other God Clan members present could not help frowning.

There were three thousand Great Daos. The capable stood above all.

Within the God Realm, heroes had always been judged by success or failure!

The distinction between righteous and evil paths had long ceased to matter.

As long as one possessed enough strength, what did killing a few God Clan members amount to?

After all, God Clan members died every day. There was nothing worth making a fuss over.

But cultivating families were different.

Everyone here was blood related, and Qi Renjia was even the head of the family.

Instead of leading the entire clan toward greater strength, how could he personally slaughter them himself?

He had not even spared his own wife. Wasn’t that excessively cold blooded?

Some evil gods had already begun looking at Qi Renjia with contempt.

Under everyone’s gaze, Qi Renjia’s expression turned extremely ugly. He immediately pointed at Qi Jiang and shouted furiously, “Utter nonsense! What evidence do you have?”

“In the bamboo forest three thousand li east of the Qi family lies the evidence of your slaughter of your own kin. Every time you acted, you chose that place. Even when you killed my mother.”

A tear slid down Qi Jiang’s face.

There was no hysterical screaming, no loud crying, yet it gave others an indescribably heartbreaking feeling.

Seeing the situation unfold, Ye Yu decisively dragged Han Yuexi farther backward.

No wonder the Qi family had felt so lifeless from the start.

This guy genuinely had no intention of surviving.

Today, by exposing the Qi family scandal before everyone, he intended to fight his father to the death.

A person like this was someone advancing toward death itself.

Once the fighting started, it would definitely become extremely intense.

Which meant staying farther away from him was the safest choice!

While retreating backward, Ye Yu failed to notice someone behind him and bumped into him.

That person was also not wearing a mask. He was somewhat plump and carried an arrogant expression.

Yet before he could speak, Ye Yu spoke first.

“Cui Fenglang, pull your stomach in a little. Don’t block the road. I’ve told you countless times already—eat fewer sweets and lose some weight. Why won’t you listen?”

The moment those words entered his ears, the man named Cui Fenglang froze on the spot.

As a member of the main branch of the Cui family, he had always cultivated within the Cui family and rarely ever went outside.

Practically no one in the God Realm recognized him.

So how could this man directly say his name?

And how did he know he liked sweets?

Even within the Cui family, Cui Fenglang secretly ate sweets behind everyone’s backs.

There were probably even clan members who did not know about it.

So why did an outsider know so clearly?

Countless questions surged through Cui Fenglang’s mind. Just as he was about to stop Ye Yu and demand an explanation, Ye Yu had already vanished into the crowd.

This left Cui Fenglang utterly bewildered.

At that moment, Cui Beiye, the clansman who had come together with him, walked over and transmitted his voice directly into his mind.

“What are you staring at? Watch the front carefully. Don’t forget the mission the two of us came here for!”
