Chapter 775 - 528: Wang Miaomiao Is Stripped of Her Cultivation (2)

If not for the Third Elder.

I’m afraid that in your lifetime, Second Elder, you would never have broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Such an immense favor, you might have ignored repaying it on purpose, but to repay kindness with enmity.

Someone like you, the Wang Family probably can’t afford such ’fortune’.

Master Zhang opened with a stern reprimand.

In the Wang Family, others might stand against Zheng Yi, but Master Zhang was undoubtedly a staunch supporter of Zheng Yi.

Hearing Master Zhang’s words, the Second Elder’s chest filled with frustration, yet he had no counter.

At this moment.

Orders from the family ancestor had already been transmitted to Piaomiao Mountain.

The Second Elder’s authority over family affairs was swept away like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.

Those under him.

Under the judgment of the Foundation Establishment Ancestor and several other Foundation Establishment members, had long scattered like birds and beasts, not willing to stand by and watch the family’s "ship" sink, following it blindly to the end.

The Second Elder sighed leisurely, his expression worried as he sat down.

"Young Clan Leader, you may begin."

Master Zhang continued.

Wang Xingyin smiled wryly, raising his right hand.

Held within it was the record of the Wang Family ancestor’s previous speech at the Celestial South Market.

He opened the communication talisman inside.

The next moment, Wang Xingyin, holding this evidence, spoke loudly.

His voice was as resonant as a bell: "The ancestor has stated, from today onwards, the position and status of the Wang Family’s Second Elder are abolished, only some related benefits of the Foundation Establishment Realm are retained.

The Second Elder violated our Wang Family’s ancestral teachings, harmful to the family’s honor.

The marriage contract with the Third Elder is nullified, this is his own decision, without room for negotiation with the family."

With these words, the Wang Family’s Second Elder had no words in reply.

In the Wang Family, the ancestor’s words were law, with no resistance from others.

Moreover, this matter was indeed overstepped by his faction.

"Second Elder, if you have any objections, after returning to the Celestial South Market, I can discuss it again with the ancestor, perhaps the ancestor will have a change of heart."

As the Young Clan Leader, Wang Xingyin looked at the Second Elder with a bit of concern, like that of a nephew.

The Second Elder shook his head with a bitter smile: "In reply to the Young Clan Leader, I have nothing to say, this is the responsibility I must bear."

The Second Elder accepted this punishment calmly.

Just as everyone thought today’s ancestral hall event was over.

Suddenly, Wang Miaomiao, who had been quietly standing behind the Second Elder, turned into a sword shadow, rushing in front of everyone, shouting tearfully, "Why?

It’s just an internal family marriage.

The family has never heavily punished an elder for such a matter before.

Young Clan Leader, isn’t this too much?"

Wang Miaomiao, with red eyes, shouted at Wang Xingyin.

One must know.

She was just a small Qi Refining Stage cultivator in the family.

To dare to offend a senior cultivator in such a way, if they were not both part of the Wang Family, such an action would have long since resulted in her death, her soul shattered and dispersed.

"Miaomiao, don’t speak recklessly!"

The Second Elder frowned, pulling Wang Miaomiao behind him.

Yet Wang Miaomiao did not relent, even at this point, she still shouted loudly, "Young Clan Leader, I, Wang Miaomiao, as a member of the Wang Clan, do not accept this punishment!"

Wang Miaomiao stated each word clearly, shouting with all her might, her voice echoing through the ancestral hall and valley.

After the shouting, the ancestral hall fell into silence.

Master Zhang stood with arms crossed, watching the drama unfold with schadenfreude.

Under everyone’s gaze, Wang Xingyin took a step forward, Foundation Establishment spiritual power surged, and his divine sense instantly locked onto Wang Miaomiao behind the Second Elder.

He flipped his right palm.

A magical treasure emitting a mysterious yellow light, the Fire Cloud Saber, immediately suspended above Wang Miaomiao’s head, as if it could take her life at any moment.

The Second Elder could not remain indifferent when he saw this.

He shouted lowly, "Young Clan Leader, isn’t this going too far?"

The Foundation Establishment spiritual power on the Second Elder’s body surged slightly, forming a protective qi shield behind him that guarded his granddaughter Wang Miaomiao closely.

Then.

He produced a long sword with a cyan body and water cloud patterns in his palm, forming a stance of resisting Wang Xingyin, the Young Clan Leader, before him.

Wang Xingyin’s expression was solemn, he said repeatedly: "Second Elder, do you really not know whether this is too much?

Even if there is no precedent for this in the Wang Family, the words of the ancestor, for the Wang Family, are like heavenly law.

Besides, Second Elder, do you not realize.

What does the Third Elder mean to the Wang Family?

Without the Third Elder, how could the Wang Family withstand the joint assault of the Qinghe Chassis and the Zhang Family of Chiyan Valley?

I’m afraid the Wang Family would have perished long ago at the hands of those two families, with Wang Family members, the lucky ones becoming slaves, and the unlucky ones dying on the spot.

In comparison, do you still think this punishment is too much, Second Elder?"

The Young Clan Leader Wang Xingyin repeatedly questioned loudly, unleashing his entire early-stage Foundation Establishment strength.

Master Zhang also stepped forward.

As a Foundation Establishment powerhouse of the Wang Family.

He echoed: "The Young Clan Leader is right!"

With the concurrence of Master Zhang, another Foundation Establishment member.

In an instant, the spiritual power of the two Foundation Establishment members collided, directly shattering the Second Elder’s Foundation Establishment qi shield.

Just the pressure from the Foundation Establishment powerhouses shattered Wang Miaomiao’s Qi Refining Stage body, sending her flying with a whoosh from the broken blasts.

"Merely a Qi Refining Stage child, if you dare speak rudely again next time.

It won’t just be her cultivation that’s ruined, but her life."

Wang Xingyin retracted his spiritual power, casting a cold gaze over the Second Elder, finally locking onto Wang Miaomiao.

Master Zhang chuckled coldly: "This is the rule the Wang Family should have.

I will go speak to the Third Elder, the relationship between the Wang Family, the Third Elder, and us will not change, as long as the Wang Family can be fair, we are people of the Wang Family."

In the presence of the Second Elder and Wang Xingyin, the Young Clan Leader, both Foundation Establishment powerhouses, Master Zhang spoke on their behalf.

"Thank you, Master Zhang."

Wang Xingyin slightly cupped his hands in thanks.

Master Zhang smiled slightly, his figure turning into a stream of light, retreating rapidly in the direction of the Celestial South Market.

"Thank you, Young Clan Leader, for your leniency."

At this moment, the Second Elder’s figure was like a pile of withered wood.

After a long time, he bowed deeply towards the position of the Young Clan Leader Wang Xingyin in the ancestral hall.

Then.

He picked up his unconscious granddaughter Wang Miaomiao and left the Wang Family Ancestral Hall step by step.

"Second Elder, I hope you don’t do anything foolish, or you’ll be forcing my hand."

Inside the ancestral hall, the Young Clan Leader Wang Xingyin closed his eyes.

The Foundation Establishment spiritual power on his body boiled like hot water, bubbling with subtle fluctuations.

At the same time.

He took out another magical treasure.

This was not an ordinary magical treasure that could be used by someone in the Qi Refining Stage, but a top-grade magical treasure, typically used only by those in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

This was the item handed to him by the Wang Family’s Foundation Establishment Ancestor, Wang Shan, before Wang Xingyin left.

It was enough to deal with a Foundation Establishment initial-stage powerhouse.

...

Celestial South Market, Master Zhang spent several days arriving here.

Quickly finding Zheng Yi, he described the punishment measures of the Wang Family in brief.

"In this matter, the ancestor is still a sensible person."

Master Zhang said finally.

Zheng Yi sat calmly opposite Master Zhang.

The two were in the study of the alchemy shop.

"After this matter, there will probably be some estrangement between people of the Second Elder’s faction and us."

Zheng Yi said with a helpless, wry smile.

"It’s an unavoidable thing."

Master Zhang was indifferent to this, "Even in a family, after forming factions, estrangement naturally follows.

Don’t mention the Second Elder’s faction having dislike for us, I’m afraid the Great Elder’s faction also has other thoughts?

Over the years.

I’ve seen everything in the Wang Family, nothing surprises me anymore."

"When will you break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage?"

Master Zhang suddenly asked, looking at Zheng Yi meaningfully.

Zheng Yi gave a wry smile.

Master Zhang raised his eyebrows, seeing Zheng Yi’s silence, then continued: "Could it be that you still intend to put on an act in front of an old bone like me?"
