Chapter 874 The Selection of the Sacred Woman of the Jiang Family
A collective gasp filled the council chamber.
"impossible!!!"
The elder let out a roar.
"Our defense line—that's a defense line that our Jiang family spent ten thousand years building!!!"
"How is this possible—how could it be so easily penetrated?!"
The servant's body trembled violently.
"Elder... Jiang Yulin... she..."
"What happened to Jiang Yulin?!"
"Jiang Yulin...she's the one who broke down our defenses..."
The Grand Elder's face instantly turned ashen.
Jiang Yulin.
That was one of the women the Jiang family had given to Lin Qiye.
That was a "gift" presented by the Jiang family to curry favor with Lin Qiye.
But now—
This woman actually breached their defenses!
"Elder!!!"
Another servant rushed over.
"Lin Qiye—Lin Qiye has entered Galaxy Number One!!!"
He said—
The servant's voice trembled.
He said—the Grand Elder—should personally go to greet them!!!
The Grand Elder's body trembled violently.
His face was as pale as paper, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
he knows--
The moment has finally arrived.
Their Jiang family—
It's all over.
"Elder!!!"
An elder suddenly stood up.
"Elder! Let's escape before Lin Qiye arrives!!!"
"Yes!! Escape!! As long as we escape, we'll have a chance to make a comeback!!!"
"Where can you run to?! The entire Taurus sector is Lin Qiye's territory!!!"
"Then... what should we do?! Are we just going to wait to die?!"
A flurry of panicked sounds filled the council chamber.
Everyone was arguing, everyone was afraid.
however--
The Grand Elder simply stood there quietly, his face as pale as paper.
He glanced at the flustered high-ranking officials in the council chamber, a complex light flashing in his eyes.
escape?
Where can we escape to?
Lin Qiye's fleet has entered the first star system.
Lin Qiye's Valkyrie has already surrounded the entire Jiang family.
Running away now will only hasten your death.
"Elder!!!"
An elder rushed forward and grabbed the first elder's arm.
"Elder! Please make a decision quickly!!!"
The elder took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.
That's enough.
His voice was hoarse, yet it carried an undeniable air of authority.
The council chamber fell silent immediately.
The Grand Elder opened his eyes and his gaze swept over every high-ranking member present.
"Everyone."
His voice was heavy.
"Now that things have come to this, we have no way out."
"Now that Lin Qiye has come in person, he won't give us a chance to escape."
"Rather than sitting and waiting to die, it's better to—"
A resolute glint flashed in his eyes.
"Why not go and greet them in person?"
His voice carried a hint of bitterness.
Everyone fell silent.
They knew the elder was telling the truth.
Lin Qiye's strength has exceeded their comprehension.
Faced with such an existence, any resistance is futile.
Rather than fighting to the death, it is better to submit and seek survival.
"The Grand Elder is wise!"
An elder spoke first.
"At this point, this is the only way forward."
The other elders echoed this sentiment.
The Grand Elder took a deep breath.
"Pass on my order: all high-ranking officials will accompany me to Starport to welcome Lin Qiye."
"yes!"
……
Starport in the Jiang Family No. 1 Galaxy.
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back in front of the flagship's gangway, surrounded by a faint divine aura.
Behind him, numerous female warriors of the Jiang family stood silently, each exuding a powerful aura.
Below the flagship, the Grand Elder of the Jiang family, along with a group of high-ranking members, were anxiously waiting.
"Elder," an elder stepped forward, lowering his voice, "are we really just going to wait like this?"
"What else can we do but wait?" The First Elder gave a bitter smile. "Lin Qiye has already entered Star System Number One. If we dare to run away, the entire Jiang family will be buried with him."
"But what if he's trying to wipe out our Jiang family?"
The Grand Elder remained silent.
This is also what he is most worried about.
If Lin Qiye is here to exterminate the clan, then everything they are doing now is in vain.
"Elder," another elder spoke up, "how about... we adopt the welcoming formation of the Jiang family? Let Lin Qiye know that the Jiang family is not to be trifled with?"
The elder's eyes lit up.
That's a good idea.
If they could intimidate Lin Qiye with their imposing presence, they might be able to save some face for the Jiang family.
"Very well!" He nodded. "Pass on my order: all elders, dress neatly and prepare to welcome our distinguished guests!"
"yes!"
The Jiang family's senior members tidied themselves up and stood in two neat rows in the center of Xinggang.
The eldest elder stood at the front, wearing the Jiang family's traditional ceremonial robe, a crown for the family head, and a jade pendant at his waist symbolizing his status as the family head.
Behind him stood a group of elders from the Jiang family, each dressed in magnificent robes with solemn expressions on their faces.
"The Grand Elder is mighty!" one elder whispered. "This display will surely let Lin Qiye know the true strength of the Jiang family!"
The elder nodded slightly, a hint of smugness flashing in his eyes.
Just then—
A streak of dark golden light streaked across the sky.
The flagship slowly descended over the starport.
The elder took a deep breath, straightened his back, and prepared to greet Lin Qiye with the utmost dignity.
however--
"boom!!!"
A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from the flagship!
That aura was as vast as an abyss, as deep as the sea, carrying a pressure that made even the soul tremble!
The Grand Elder's expression changed drastically in an instant.
He sensed that aura—
Enough to crush him into dust!
"thump!!!"
The elders behind him, under the impact of that aura, involuntarily knelt down!
"Elder!!!"
The elders looked at the First Elder in horror.
Fine beads of cold sweat appeared on the elder's forehead.
He wanted to stand up straight and maintain the dignity of the Jiang family head.
But that aura—
too strong! ! !
So powerful that he simply couldn't resist!
"thump!!!"
The Grand Elder's legs buckled, and he actually knelt down!
He stared wide-eyed at his kneeling body, his heart filled with humiliation and fear.
What was humiliating was that he, the dignified head of the Jiang family, was actually forced to kneel by the imposing presence at his own doorstep.
What's terrifying is that Lin Qiye's aura is a hundred times more terrifying than the rumors suggest!
"Is this... Lin Qiye's power...?"
He muttered to himself, his voice trembling uncontrollably.
The flagship's hatch slowly opened.
Lin Qiye stepped out with his hands behind his back, his body surrounded by a faint divine radiance.
His gaze swept over the kneeling Jiang family executives below, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"The First Elder of the Jiang Family."
His voice was calm, yet it reached everyone's ears clearly.
"Is this the welcoming ceremony your Jiang family has prepared?"
The elder's face instantly turned red.
He knew what Lin Qiye was being sarcastic about.
He originally wanted to put on a show of power and let Lin Qiye know the Jiang family's strength.
But the result—
His "imposing presence" couldn't even last a single round against Lin Qiye's aura.
Everyone—was forced to their knees!
"My...my lord," the elder's voice trembled, "this old man...this old man was blind to your greatness..."
"Alright."
Lin Qiye spoke calmly, interrupting him.
"I'm not used to speaking while kneeling."
As soon as he finished speaking, the terrifying aura suddenly subsided.
The Grand Elder and the other elders felt as if they had been granted a pardon and quickly got up from the ground.
But they never dared to put on airs again.
Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Lin Qiye.
Lin Qiye slowly walked down the gangway, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.
"The First Elder of the Jiang Family."
"...This old man is here." The Grand Elder hurriedly replied, his voice as respectful as a servant's.
"From this day forward," Lin Qiye said, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable authority, "your Jiang family will be headed by Jiang Lingyun."
Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder's face turned deathly pale.
Jiang Lingyun?!
That genius from the Jiang family branch?!
The woman who was first given to Lin Qiye?!
"My...my lord," the Grand Elder's voice trembled, "this...this isn't quite right...this old man..."
"I said," Lin Qiye's gaze fell on him, "that Jiang Lingyun should be the leader."
The Grand Elder's body trembled violently.
He sensed an undeniable pressure emanating from Lin Qiye's gaze.
That oppressive force—
It's even more terrifying than the aura from before!
"thump!!!"
The Grand Elder knelt down again.
"I will obey your command, sir!!!"
His voice was filled with barely concealed fear.
He knew that from this moment on, the power of the Jiang family had changed hands.
And he, as the Grand Elder, was nothing more than a figurehead.
Lin Qiye nodded slightly, his gaze falling on a young woman in the crowd.
The woman was dressed in dark red armor and exuded a powerful aura.
Her eyes gleamed with a dark golden light.
Jiang Lingyun.
A genius from the Jiang family branch.
Ten years ago, she was just an ordinary woman who had just entered the realm of Martial God.
But now—
Her aura had reached the level of a peak Martial God, a half-step Interstellar War God!
"Jiang Lingyun".
Lin Qiye spoke.
Jiang Lingyun quickly stepped forward and knelt respectfully in front of Lin Qiye.
"Owner."
Her voice was tinged with excitement.
"From this day forward," Lin Qiye said calmly, "you will be the Holy Maiden of the Jiang family."
