"Mingyan, how did you become a member of the Human Clan?" Ling Hongyun asked, both surprised and delighted as she looked at her daughter.

"I owe it all to Wang Xiaoqiang. He helped my father and me shed our ghost bodies and transform into the Human Clan," said Mingyan as she pointed to Wang Xiaoqiang standing at the doorway.

Ling Hongyun looked toward Wang Xiaoqiang, her face showing gratitude, and said, "Such a great kindness can never be repaid in a lifetime. Come, let us thank him in person."

It was evident that Ling Hongyun was a cultured and courteous woman. As she spoke, she took Mingyan's hand and walked to the doorway. The Crescent Moon Cave Lord quickly followed, and the family of three knelt before Wang Xiaoqiang, bowing repeatedly. Ling Hongyun, in tears of gratitude, said, "Thank you, Young Hero Wang, for your help. If we cannot repay you in this life, we shall certainly do so in the next."

Just then, two patrolling house servants approached from a distance. The scene at the Falling Blossom Courtyard made them cautious.

The Falling Blossom Courtyard had always been a key area for patrol. The two house servants didn't dare to be negligent and walked straight over. These two house servants were cultivators at the True Immortal Realm, but such cultivation strength was as insignificant as ants before Wang Xiaoqiang.

Even so, Wang Xiaoqiang did not dare to be careless and said to the family of three, "Alright, we must leave now. If you wish to say anything in detail, you should do it in the Ring Space."

As Wang Xiaoqiang spoke, with a thought, he transported the entire family of three into the Sumeru Ring. Then, wrapping an arm around Guan Qingsi's slender waist, he said, "Guanguan, let's go to your home now."

With that, he flew up with Guan Qingsi in tow.

The two house servants, seeing the situation turn unfavorable, flew up to chase after them. Wang Xiaoqiang snapped his fingers, and two Soldier Auras shot from between his fingers, making a faint sound as they pierced the air, striking the house servants on the throat.

Their throats were crushed, bloody and mangled, as if slit, struggling to breathe or call out before they hit the ground, lifeless.

The Ling Family prohibited anyone except the Family Head from flying, so when Wang Xiaoqiang forcibly flew with Guan Qingsi, it immediately drew much attention. The house servants on duty, the guards within the mansion, and even the butler, Eagle Elder, took notice...

Elder Eagle, seeing a stranger flying with Guan Qingsi, thought a bandit was kidnapping the bride and shouted with a voice as loud as thunder, "What bandit is this, so bold? Daring to kidnap the bride..."

Noticing they were discovered, Guan Qingsi turned pale with anxiety, urging, "Xiaoqiang, we've been spotted, let's get out quickly!"

But Wang Xiaoqiang was utterly unafraid, deliberately lingering with Guan Qingsi in the sky above the Ling Residence. By this time, everyone in the Ling Residence noticed the two in the sky, including the guests below waiting to drink the wedding wine, who came running out after hearing the news, as well as the Ling Family members, including the Ling Family Head, Ling Tianci.

"Listen here, Head of the Ling Family. The Ling Family dominates Ling Stone City, abusing power, committing all sorts of vile deeds. Ling Qingyun's lechery has led to bullying and debauchery. Now he tries to forcefully marry my woman, Wang Xiaoqiang's woman. Today, I leave you Ling Family people a way out; you must repent in the future or I, Wang Xiaoqiang, will surely massacre the Ling Family..."

These words caused an uproar from the people below. The guests whispered to each other. As the rulers of Ling Stone City, the Ling Family was not only robbed of the bride in broad daylight but also publicly reprimanded and scolded. Yet, this person's cultivation was not even high, just the Third Soldier Realm of the Immortal Sage.

What a humiliation!

All the Ling Family people, upon hearing these words and seeing this situation, were infuriated, with Ling Tianci nearly spitting blood in rage.

As the City Lord of Ling Stone City, he represented the city's authority. For someone to publicly rebuke him was tantamount to slapping him in the face.

"Xiaoqiang, enough, let's go quickly," Guan Qingsi was deeply worried about Wang Xiaoqiang's actions, feeling it was self-exposure and putting himself in danger.

She was very concerned about Wang Xiaoqiang's predicament. She wouldn't mind dying herself, but if Wang Xiaoqiang's life was risked, it would be too unworthy.

"Guanguan, with me here, you needn't be afraid. They, the Ling Family, used power to coerce you. Not only will I stand up for you, but I'll also get revenge for you." Wang Xiaoqiang spoke without care.

Guan Qingsi was stunned by his words, and then all her worries vanished, replaced by boundless heroism. At that moment, she felt if she could die with Wang Xiaoqiang, it would be worth it!

She then used her power to amplify her voice, addressing everyone below, "Wang Xiaoqiang is not a bandit; he is my man. Our love is deep as the sea, and no one can separate us. Even if I die today, I will die in his embrace."

As Guan Qingsi spoke, she leaned her delicate body against Wang Xiaoqiang's chest and gave him a kiss.

"Wow~~~" all the guests waiting to drink wine gasped in astonishment. The Ling Family's bride was too bold, kissing a "bandit" like that, which was like slapping the face of the Ling Family. However, everyone understood that though Ling Qingyun was ostensibly marrying Guan Qingsi, it was essentially a forced occupation. Now that she was taken by her rightful man, it seemed like justice served.

In their fury, the Ling Family people shouted angrily. Ling Tianci, in extreme anger, spat out a mouthful of blood and pointed at Wang Xiaoqiang in the sky, thundering, "Hear me; capture this bandit alive, and a hundred Superior Pills will be your reward!"

A hundred Superior Pills were a precious bounty! To cultivators, it meant a great deal of cultivation resources.

With such a high reward, brave men would surely arise. At this moment, the house guards, Ling Residence's sentries, Eagle Elder, and the collateral and direct lineage of the Ling Family, all fervently soared into the sky, rushing to chase down Wang Xiaoqiang.

Seeing that he had humiliated the Ling Family sufficiently, Wang Xiaoqiang flew away with Guan Qingsi, heading straight for the Guan Family.

As Wang Xiaoqiang flew with Guan Qingsi, a large crowd of pursuers followed like migrating birds, densely packing the sky over Ling Stone City, causing a grand scene that made Ling Stone City's citizens look up and chatter.

Just as Wang Xiaoqiang and Guan Qingsi flew over the Guan Family, a Ling Family guest elder, using remarkable movement techniques, blocked their path in a flash. This guest elder's cultivation was not low, being at the Third Soldier Realm of the Immortal Sage. Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang was also at the Third Soldier Realm, he thought to capture Wang Xiaoqiang by himself and earn the reward.

Wang Xiaoqiang didn't waste words and with a thought, absorbed 20,000,000 Spiritual Springs into his body, his cultivation instantly rising another level to the Fourth Soldier Realm of the Immortal Sage. With another thought, he took out the War God Hammer. Aimed at the guest elder, he swung a mighty blow, and with a bang, the guest elder's body exploded directly.

Fragments flew, flesh and blood sprayed wildly!

"What? No way! The Third Soldier Realm was instantly killed by him!" The pursuers behind were all stunned at this scene, secretly shocked and immediately halted, not daring to advance further.

Wang Xiaoqiang turned back, cold eyes smiling at the stunned pursuers, "If you're not afraid of death, feel free to chase!"

Having said that, he wrapped his arm around Guan Qingsi's waist and flew down to the Guan Family.

Ling Tianci, seeing Wang Xiaoqiang's one-hit kill had intimidated his people, immediately rallied their spirits, saying, "Everyone, don't be afraid, Wang Xiaoqiang is only one person; let's all go together and kill him."
