Very few middle-tier and lower-tier cities could survive an attack from a Half-Immortal demon.

Not to mention that Star City had even done a beautiful counter-attack.

However, compared to the commotion in the middle-tier and lower-tier cities, this news only caused a small ripple in the larger cities.

To the real big shots, those not at the Immortal Level were merely ants.

By the fog that stretched for thousands of miles, a huge city hidden in view stood tall and blocked the demon invasion.

In a corner of the city, there was a luxurious but not very eye-catching manor.

A group of people gathered in the hall and held a discussion.

It was the headquarters of the Jiang family.

“I heard that a genius recently appeared in Star City. He reached the peak of the Diamond Level at a young age. Not only did he have the ability to see through a demon disguise, but he also killed a Half-Immortal demon.”

“Humph, he merely took advantage of the city’s fortifications. As for seeing through the disguise of a demon? Which family doesn’t have a method to do that?”

“That’s right. The geniuses in small cities have limited achievements. How can they compare to the big families?”

“Compared to that guy, I’m more concerned about whether the ancestor has found a good son-in-law for our Jiang family.”

The Jiang family’s higher-ups didn’t take Lin Qiye’s series of deeds seriously.

In their eyes, Lin Qiye might be a genius, but it wasn’t enough to make them look at him in a new light.

The topic of discussion shifted to the Jiang family’s ancestor, and no one talked about Lin Qiye anymore.

“The ancestor has been planning this for a long time and has attracted many geniuses. Little Lianyi will definitely find a good husband.”

“I saw that even the geniuses from the prefecture capital have gone. If things work out, we won’t have to worry about the trouble our family will face anymore!”

Speaking of this matter, most of the people present beamed with joy. Only a middle-aged man sighed softly.

He was Jiang Lianyi’s father.

If he had a choice, he would never have agreed to sacrifice his daughter’s happiness.

“Patriarch! Miss Jiang is back! She has returned!”

Just as everyone was talking, a servant rushed into the hall in a hurry.

“Yi’er is back?”

The middle-aged man grabbed the armrest and stood up abruptly.

The rest of the people also turned their heads to look outside the door and welcomed Jiang Lianyi with joy.

They came to the square in the manor andsaw a young girl walking toward them.

Immortal Qi was flowing on the surface of her body, and traces of immortal charm rippled in this space, making everyone feel relaxed and happy.

“Little Lianyi, you’ve advanced to the Immortal Level!?”

The elders of the Jiang family were ecstatic.

Jiang Lianyi smiled and nodded as she walked toward the crowd.

“Good! Good! Our Jiang family has gained another bit of strength!”

Although they couldn’t hide their joy, a portion of them still looked toward the door with puzzled expressions.

“Are you alone?”

From their point of view, Jiang Lianyi should have brought back a talented son-in-law, but why was she the only one?

Jiang Lianyi knew what everyone was thinking.

The smile on her face couldn’t help but disappear.

She looked at the group of elders and said sternly, “The ancestor has already let me inherit his Origin God Realm. In the future, I will take on the responsibility to lead the family.”

“What?”

“The ancestor let you inherit the Origin God Realm?”

“Why is this different from what we agreed on?”

When they heard Jiang Lianyi’s words, the group of elders couldn’t stand it anymore.

“All of our hopes are placed on the future son-in-law! How… Sigh…”

Everyone felt helpless.

Jiang Lianyi’s talent was still lacking.

Seeing everyone’s disappointment, Jiang Lianyi clenched her fists tightly.

“Uncles, don’t worry. Even if I risk my life, I will protect the family!”

“What’s the use of risking your life? Our trouble is not… Sigh, forget it. Since things have come to this point, we can only think of other ways.”

Their disappointed expressions reached Jiang Lianyi’s eyes, piercing her heart.

The Jiang family has continued to decline in recent years.

The geniuses able to rise to the top had not appeared for a hundred years.

Although Jiang Lianyi was quite talented, it wasn’t enough to make the Jiang family prosper.

Sigh.

The current Jiang family was neither strong nor weak.

The big families looked down on them, but they were not satisfied with the smaller families.

Even if they wanted to form a marriage alliance with the big families, they couldn’t offer enough benefits in exchange.

Things were stale until not long ago when someone from the Jiang family discovered the Origin God Realm left behind by their ancestor.

After discussing the ancestor’s will, the elders came up with a plan to find a new son-in-law. They planned to use this to help the Jiang family tide over the crisis.

However, in the end, it was all for naught.

The only thing that could comfort them was that Jiang Lianyi used this opportunity to advance to the Immortal Level.

Although it couldn’t solve the family’s problem, it was still a glimmer of hope.

Seeing the elders sigh, Jiang Lianyi bit her red lips. Her eyes shone with stubbornness and determination.

“Jiang family must depend on every junior to rebuild its past honor. We will merely be beggars if we beg for mercy from others!

“If we bow and heed every command of the big families, how can we have self-respect?

“I, Jiang Lianyi, will lead the Jiang family to rise. Even if I don’t have enough talent, I will work a hundred or a thousand times harder than others!

“The family must strengthen itself!” Jiang Lianyi said forcefully.

Everyone was speechless.
