"The family head has decreed: Su Chen, deemed lacking virtue, is suspected of conspiring against the Su family's prodigy, Su Xueqing. His position as the young master is to be abolished, with Su Xueqing succeeding as the new young master, assuming control. Su Chen is immediately to be sent to the Northern Wilderness City, becoming a son-in-law to the Ye family, and is barred for life from returning to the Su family!"

On the grand hall, an elderly figure clad in a black robe spoke emotionlessly.

On both sides, numerous Su family elders stood with indifferent expressions, their eyes filled with mockery.

Kneeling below was a handsome young man.

Upon hearing the elder's decree, he trembled, abruptly lifting his head to gaze at the figure above, eyes filled with anger and pain.

"Su Xueqing, you've gone too far!"

The young man roared softly, his fingernails piercing into his palms, blood dripping down.

On the elevated seat above the grand hall, a girl adorned in a snow-white gown with a slender figure and an incomparably beautiful face sat.

Her gaze was extremely indifferent, casually sweeping across Su Chen, as if regarding an ant, filled with arrogance and contempt.

She is Su Xueqing, the pride of the Su family, and now the new young master.

"Su Xueqing, you took my bloodline, slandered me, and now accuse me further. Does your conscience not ache?"

The refined youth is named Su Chen.

He looks at Su Xueqing with eyes filled with immense pain.

When Su Chen was born, a flying dragon descended, and the dragon's roar echoed through the heavens and earth, hailed as the true dragon of the Su family!

At the age of ten, Su Chen awakened the Dragon Bloodline, born with a powerful physique. He entered the Martial Power Realm at twelve, the Qi Martial Realm at fifteen, and achieved the ninth level of the True Martial Realm by the age of sixteen.

He possessed unparalleled talent, shining brightly and regarded as the hope for the rise of the Su family.

However, at the age of fifteen, Su Chen's father, Su Zhan, and the head of the Su family went out to find a treasure for Su Chen's physical baptism but tragically lost his life in a mysterious realm.

Su Xueqing's father, Su Youde, became the head of the Su family.

Su Xueqing and Su Chen were of similar age, both possessing exceptionally outstanding martial talents. Su Xueqing even awakened the Swallowing Heaven Python Bloodline, slightly inferior to Su Chen's Dragon Bloodline but still a top-tier bloodline.

Since childhood, Su Xueqing and Su Chen were childhood sweethearts, with Su Xueqing always following behind and calling him "Chen Brother."

Their relationship was exceptionally good.

Su Chen held nothing back from Su Xueqing, sharing all his insights into cultivation, martial techniques, and even, at the age of sixteen, allowing Su Xueqing to guard him as he was about to break through to the Xuanwu Realm.

However, Su Chen never expected that while he was in seclusion for cultivation, Su Xueqing and Su Youde would knock him unconscious. They forcibly extracted Su Chen's Dragon Bloodline.

Then, Su Chen witnessed Su Xueqing's Swallowing Heaven Python Bloodline devouring his Dragon Bloodline.

Su Xueqing broke through to the Xuanwu Realm in one fell swoop, becoming the youngest genius in the history of the Great Luo Dynasty to reach such a level.

Furthermore, Su Xueqing was even accepted as a disciple by the Profound Yin Sect.

With Su Chen's bloodline destroyed, he was completely reduced to a waste.

"Bold! Su Chen, having your bloodline devoured by the young master is your good fortune. How dare you harbor resentment?"

"That's right! The two of you, father and son, were never truly part of the Su family. The old family head was kind enough to grant you the Su surname and make your father the head. You should be grateful. Offering your bloodline to the young master, what's wrong with that?"

"Su Chen, not only are you ungrateful, but you also dared to harbor ill intentions towards the young master. It's simply a wolf in sheep's clothing! How can a toad like you covet the young master?"

Surrounding Su Chen, the numerous Su family elders incessantly rebuke him with mocking expressions.

Then, their gazes turned towards Su Xueqing, filled with fawning smiles.

"Su Chen!"

Su Xueqing stood up.

She had a graceful figure, skin fair as snow, and a flawless face. Looking down from a higher position, she gazed at Su Chen with eyes filled with indifference.

"In this world, the strong are respected! The weak can only self-destruct. Offering your bloodline to me is your fortune and destiny! Do you really think I would be interested in you?

You are nothing more than a waste now. I'm willing to spare your life; you better know your place!"

Su Xueqing said casually.

"Hahaha... 'The strong are respected,' Su Xueqing, I must have been blind to be interested in a woman with a heart as venomous as a snake and scorpion like you!"

Su Chen laughed heartily, a laughter filled with bitterness.

The Su family, once his pride, and the Su family elders who were once so kind to him, now revealed ugly faces.

Faced with such a family, his heart grew cold!

"Young Master, Su Chen harbors resentment. It seems he intends to retaliate against our Su family! Why not just kill him instead of sending him to the Ye family as a son-in-law!"

The black-robed elder looked at Su Xueqing with flattery, then a flash of killing intent appeared in his eyes as he made a throat-slitting motion.

"Although he's a waste, he still has some use! The Ye family has already offered that precious medicine, the Seven-Leaf Purple Ginseng. It will help me break through the Martial Sky Realm!

Su Chen's bloodline has been devoured by me, and his dantian and sea of qi destroyed. Now, he's just a useless person, sent to the Ye family as a son-in-law, making his life worse than death!"

Su Xueqing said indifferently.

"Young Master is wise!"

The black-robed elder flattered.

Su Chen looked at Su Xueqing, feeling a coldness in his heart.

Having his bloodline taken and his cultivation destroyed was not enough. Now, he was being sold off like a commodity?

Sending him off as a son-in-law for the sake of a medicinal herb?

How could people be so cruel?

Su Yuqing glanced at Su Chen, her eyes filled with indifference, disdain, and disgust, as if she couldn't be bothered to say more to him: "Take him away, send him to the Ye family in the Northern Wasteland tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

The black-robed senior nodded respectfully, then turned around with eyes full of indifference and walked toward Su Chen.

"Su Xueqing, I, Su Chen, swear that I will make you pay for this in this lifetime!"

Su Chen's eyes were bloodshot, staring firmly at Su Yuqing.

His heart had completely turned cold!

He had no attachment to the Su family before him, to these indifferent people.

But Su Chen remembered the humiliation of today.

He would never forget it!

Su Chen clenched his fists, and blood oozed from the deep nail marks in his palms.

However, he didn't notice that the blood flowing from his palm was silently absorbed by a quaint ring on his finger.

"Swear? If swearing were effective, what use would there be for martial arts? I am like a divine dragon in the sky, destined to roar above the nine heavens, while you are just an ant, forever unable to turn over. If you don't want to die so soon, just obediently be a son-in-law!

Elder, I've changed my mind. Knock him out, put him in a sack, and send him to the Ye family in the Northern Wasteland right now!"

Su Xueqing sneered.

"Yes!"

The black-robed elder nodded hastily, bowing deeply. In the face of Su Chen's fiery gaze, he didn't dare say another word, directly delivering a palm strike to the back of Su Chen's head, knocking him unconscious.

However, nobody noticed.

In the instant Su Chen lost consciousness, the ancient ring on his finger vanished without a trace.

In Su Chen's sea of consciousness, a radiant light seemed to pierce through the chaos, opening up an ancient world. His consciousness was then mysteriously pulled, instantly entering that ancient realm!
