Qing City, Lin Family.

"Elder Lin Yi, how dare you be so audacious and lascivious, to harass the City Lord's own daughter, Su Qingxue, and bring such a calamity upon our Lin Family!"

"Someone, throw Lin Yi into the clan's dungeon, to await his punishment!"

The one speaking was an elder robed in black, the very Lin Family Great Elder, Lin Shan.

Standing before Lin Shan was a young man dressed in blue, his body held down firmly by two Lin Family guards.

In the great hall, the members of the Lin Family watched the youth with cold eyes, their murmurs filling the air.

"Lin Yi, that beast, truly recklessly bold, to even dare to harass the City Lord's daughter?"

"Could there be some misunderstanding? Didn't Lady Su also hold feelings for Lin Yi? There were even rumors that City Lord Su Wushi had considered taking Lin Yi as a son-in-law for the Su Family."

"Heh, do you really think Lady Su would fancy that waste, Lin Yi? She merely pitied him since they grew up together. Yet, Lin Yi was deluded, thinking he could court someone out of his league."

"Sigh, no matter what, the Su Family is the foremost family in Qing City. This little beast Lin Yi has really courted disaster now! He might even drag our entire Lin Family down with him, the cursed scamp!"

...

Those piercing voices rang in his ears.

Yet Lin Yi looked utterly dejected.

Like a soulless walking corpse.

He was dragged away by the two Lin Family guards and thrown into the Lin Family dungeon.

Even now, Su Qingxue's mocking voice still echoed in his mind.

"Lin Yi, you're already eighteen years old, yet you linger at the mere first level of the Body Refining Realm. How could someone like you ever catch my eye?"

"For someone as worthless as you, even as a son-in-law, you are not fit!"

"The Nine Acupoint Dantian is such a treasure, wasted on someone like you. Just hand it over willingly..."

"Don't worry, I'll put your Dantian to good use, unlike you who's simply wasting it!"

"Hahahaha..."

Last night, Qing City Lord Su Wushi had suddenly invited him for a meeting, to discuss Su Qingxue's future.

When he received the message, Lin Yi was ecstatic!

Before this, Su Wushi had indeed proposed that he marry into the Su Family.

And Lin Yi had already made up his mind, as long as he could be with Su Qingxue.

Even if it meant marrying into her family, he was willing!

But little did he expect that stepping into the Su Family residence would lead to a trap!

The purpose was to seize his Nine Acupoint Dantian!

With his lowly first level Body Refining Realm cultivation, he was nothing but prey, and Su Wushi and his daughter Su Qingxue easily took his Dantian from him!

Then, like a dead dog, he was thrown out of the City Lord Mansion!

Stripped of his Dantian and left clinging to life, Lin Yi nearly died outside the City Lord Mansion.

But when he dragged himself back to the Lin Family with his last breath, he never imagined that the Lin Family would treat him this way!

The Lin Family's high-ranking members, fearing offending the Su Family, saw him as a dangerous beast and, without a word, they threw him into the dungeon!

"Creak!"

Suddenly, the dungeon door was pushed open.

A beautiful young girl with bright, gentle eyes and fair skin appeared before Lin Yi.

"Ning'er, why have you come?"

Lin Yi's eyes lit up slightly.

The girl was named Lin Ning, his younger sister.

She was also the last of his close kin left in the Lin Family.

"Quick, leave this place, you shouldn't be here!"

Lin Yi's expression darkened as he scolded her.

"Shh! Brother, don't speak!"

Lin Ning tiptoed to Lin Yi's side, carrying a steaming bowl of medicinal broth.

"Brother, this is a spiritual medicine I've prepared especially for you. Drink it and you'll soon feel better."

Seeing the dark circles around Lin Ning's large, beautiful eyes, Lin Yi's heart warmed.

She must have stayed up all night to prepare this medicine for him.

Looking at the bowl in his hands, Lin Yi felt a sliver of hope to continue living.

For his sister's sake, he couldn't give into despair!

However, just as Lin Yi was about to drink the medicine.

Suddenly.

A hairy large hand reached out, knocking the bowl to the ground.

Looking at the spilled spiritual medicine.

Lin Yi shook with rage!

The one who had come was none other than his former loyal follower, Lin Changming!

"Lin Changming, you're looking for death!"

Gazing at the suddenly appearing Lin Changming, a surge of murderous intent filled Lin Yi's eyes.

Although Lin Yi was widely recognized as a good-for-nothing, he was a legitimate descendant of the Lin Family, with a status that Lin Changming, someone of a collateral branch, could not compare to.

Before Lin Yi's misfortune, Lin Changming had been his lackey.

Addressing him reverently as "Young Master Lin Yi."

Obedient to his every word, with the utmost respect.

And now, this damned servant, seeing him fall from grace, immediately revealed his true colors and added insult to injury?

"Ptui!"

"Lin Yi, you, who actively sought to be a live-in son-in-law and got rejected by others, what right do you have to act tough in front of me?"

Lin Changming's eyes were filled with contempt as he looked at Lin Yi, "Failing to be a son-in-law, you even dared to molest the City Lord's daughter. You've brought shame to our Lin Family!"

"Lin Changming, shut up!"

"My brother isn't that kind of person, don't you dare slander him!"

Anger filled Lin Ning's small face.

But what met her was a harsh slap from Lin Changming!

A bright red handprint instantly appeared on Lin Ning's face.

"You wretch! Even at a time like this, you're still speaking up for that piece of trash!"

Lin Changming spoke viciously, "What is Lin Yi worth for Lady Su Qingxue to sacrifice her own reputation and frame him?"

"You damned servant, you dare to bully Ning'er? I'll kill you!"

Seeing Lin Ning being bullied, Lin Yi's eyes immediately reddened.

Bang!

With a sinister smile, Lin Changming kicked Lin Yi to the ground, then pressed his foot firmly against Lin Yi's back.

"Die, you worthless trash, who can you kill in your current state?"

Lin Changming looked down on Lin Yi with a face full of mocking, "Lin Yi, right now, no one in the entire Lin Family cares whether you live or die."

"If I were to silently kill you here today, no one would notice."

"Lin Changming, I beg you, please spare my brother..."

With a "plop," Lin Ning knelt down before Lin Changming, pleading.

"Spare your brother? Of course, I can!"

Lin Changming's gaze unscrupulously wandered over the sensitive parts of Lin Ning's body, then he smirked and said, "Young Master Lin Peng said, as long as you are willing to spend a night with him, he could put in a few good words to Great Elder Lin Shan and pardon Lin Yi's death penalty."

"You know, Young Master Lin Peng is Great Elder Lin Shan's own grandson; his words carry a lot of weight..."

As he spoke, Lin Changming gazed at the girl before him with a drooling face, internally praising that this young girl was indeed exceptional...

No wonder Young Master Lin Peng had always wanted to get his hands on her.

Now, he finally seized the opportunity.

"Ning'er... no... don't..."

Lin Yi's expression changed.

He would rather die than sacrifice his sister!

However, after glancing at Lin Yi, Lin Ning nodded her head, "I... I agree to your terms!"

"Ha ha... excellent!"

"Lin Yi, I really envy you, having such a good sister!"

Lin Changming laughed heartily, then with one kick, he sent Lin Yi flying before picking up Lin Ning and walking out towards the dungeon!

"No!!!"

"You beast, let her go!!!"

Lin Yi roared furiously, but it was of no help; he could only watch helplessly as Lin Ning was forcefully taken away by Lin Changming.

At that moment, Lin Yi felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife!

He had been framed by the Su Family, stripped of his Nine Acupoint Dantian, and labeled as a lecher, becoming the laughingstock of the entire city!

And now, he couldn't even protect his sister!

She had to sacrifice her purity to save his life.

A strong wave of fury and humiliation surged into Lin Yi's heart!

He had to rescue Ning'er!

He had to clear his name and take revenge!!!

Never before had Lin Yi longed for strength as he did at that moment!

Just then.

Suddenly.

An immense fluctuation exploded in Lin Yi's mind.

The surrounding environment changed drastically.

When Lin Yi came to his senses, he found himself in an ancient Sword Prison.

This place had a mottled ground, filled with dense Ancient Swords emanating an ancient and primordial air, as if returning to the Ancient Times.

And in the center of those dense Ancient Swords, there stood an Ancient Stele.

The Stele was covered with Ancient Texts; upon closer inspection, Lin Yi saw that it was a cultivation method from ancient times!

"Chaos Sword Body Technique!"
