Chapter 1: The Most Unfortunate Son-in-Law in History

On the outskirts of Green Cloud City, Yu Family Manor.

In the dark dungeon, a faint candlelight flickers.

"Finally succeeded!"

Looking at his wife, Yi Qianmo’s eyes show a mix of emotions. "I hope you can keep your promise."

"Yes, we have finally succeeded!"

Sitting opposite him was a woman.

The woman was extremely beautiful, wearing a long red robe that highlighted her curvy figure, her skin as fair and smooth as jade, without any flaws.

She was his wife, the most beautiful girl in Green Cloud City, the prized jewel of the Yu family, Yu Youwei.

Compared to his wife, Yi Qianmo looked pale, thin as a twig, with deep-set eyes that held a dark pair of eyes full of discontent and helplessness.

Yu Youwei stood up and looked down at him, her eyes lacking the affection a wife usually has for her husband, her tone filled with pity, "I will keep my promise to let you go, and I will protect your family."

Upon hearing this, the helplessness in Yi Qianmo’s eyes lessened greatly, and a glimmer of hope appeared on his face.

When he was five years old, he awakened the Nine Yang Body, but this special condition did not bring him good luck; instead, it brought disaster to him and his family.

All of this was because his family was a small, low-ranking one in Green Cloud City.

Soon, the pressure from major forces came one after another, and it grew stronger and stronger.

To protect him, his father was killed in front of him, and the whole family was close to being ruined.

At a critical moment, the Yu family offered to help, but the condition was that he must marry into the Yu family.

To save his family, Yi Qianmo became the son-in-law of the Yu family.

He originally thought the Yu family had noticed his talent and wanted to train him.

But he never expected that the Yu family wanted him to marry in just to serve as a vessel for their precious Yu Youwei, who possessed the rare Nine Yin Body.

Yi Qianmo felt incredibly hopeless, but he knew that if he didn’t become that vessel, his Yi family would be wiped out.

Yu Youwei also promised him that as long as he cooperated, once she achieved her goals, she would let him go and ensure the safety of his Yi family.

Thirteen years!

In this dark dungeon, I spent thirteen long years, and finally awaited the day I would see the light again.

"But…"

Yu Youwei paused for a moment, then suddenly drew her sword from her side and thrust it at him.

The sword sparkled, and he was too weak to fight back!

"Why!"

Looking at the tendons on his right hand that had been cut, Yi Qianmo was both shocked and angry. "I have cooperated with you for thirteen years, and now you have combined the Nine Yin and Nine Yang to achieve a celestial form. Why must you treat me this way!!!"

"Why?"

Yu Youwei said emotionlessly, "Do you think that thirteen years ago, when several powerful families joined forces to pressure your Yi family, it was only because of your Nine Yang Body?"

At this point, a slight smile appeared on her lips. "To them, the Nine Yang Body was merely a starting point; what they wanted was your Yi family’s Great Yi Sword Technique. It is said to be a sword art close to that of divine beings, and if mastered, no family in Green Cloud City could compete with your Yi family!"

"If my Yi family truly has such a sword technique, how could we allow those big families to come and kill my father?!"

Yi Qianmo’s face was filled with pain and anger, "How can I be willing to be your Yu family’s son-in-law and be Yu Youwei’s furnace!!!"

"At this point, what good is hiding?"

Yu Youwei laughed loudly, "Do you really think that no one knows about your secret training in the sword technique after joining my Yu family?"

"How could that be possible…"

Yi Qianmo’s heart trembled, unable to believe his ears.

"How could I possibly know?"

Yu Youwei continued his words, her eyes filled with pity, "The old man of the Yi family is also shrewd; even when his son was killed, he did not reveal the Great Yi Sword Technique."

"He must have known at that time that even if he handed over the sword technique, the Yi family would still suffer destruction, so he simply agreed to let you marry into my Yu family. If my Yu family were not so strong, we might end up no better off than your Yi family. And once you have mastered the sword technique, it is likely that my Yu family and even the other families in Green Cloud City will all be wiped out by you!"

After speaking, Yu Youwei skillfully raised her sword, showing no mercy.

Yi Qianmo fell like a fish on a chopping board; the sword cut through the tendon in his left hand, and blood poured out like a fountain.

"Unfortunately, your old man made a small mistake. What the Yu family wants is not the sword technique, but your Nine Yang Body! What I don’t understand is why you can cultivate it while the others from the Yi family cannot?"

Yu Youwei asked.

"You damn poison woman!!!"

Yi Qianmo, with his tendon severed, could no longer contain his rage and roared like a wild beast.

When he joined the Yu family, his grandfather taught him this sword technique, hoping he would use the Yu family’s protection to master it.

He had endured like a dog in the Yu family for thirteen years, whether as a furnace for others or being humiliated by the servants who brought food, always appearing submissive because he knew it was his only hope; he had to succeed!

He did not want to see the scene from thirteen years ago repeat itself!

"Aren’t you going to say anything?"

Yu Youwei gave him a cold glance, her face showing no emotion as she swiftly struck twice, cutting the tendons in Yi Qianmo’s feet. "It’s fine, I was just curious."

"Even if your family’s sword techniques are extraordinary, what does it matter? They are only close to the level of immortals, but I have already broken through and become one!"

"You monster…"

Yi Qianmo trembled, his face full of pain as he cursed, "You will meet a terrible fate!!!"

"Oh?"

Yu Youwei smiled gently, "Do you think this is the end?"

"What… what do you want to do!"

Fear showed in Yi Qianmo’s eyes. Not only were his tendons severed, but even before this, he had no chance of defeating Yu Youwei.

Beyond the natural, that is the true realm of the immortals!

"Cutting your tendons will stop you from holding a sword and walking, but that’s still not enough!"

She suddenly appeared in front of him and struck her fist on his abdomen, the overwhelming power sending Yi Qianmo flying away.

The intense pain almost made Yi Qianmo faint.

"Only by crippling your energy center can all your foundations be broken."

Yu Youwei walked in front of him, sealed several major points on his body, and forced a pill into his mouth, whispering, "But I promised not to kill you. However… I will guide you on the path of the immortals; you can be at ease and live as a mortal here!"

"You wicked, despicable woman!!!"

Yi Qianmo’s hair was disheveled, resembling a furious ghost, as he let out a roar.

If only the tendons in his hands and feet were cut, with the trace of sword intent in his heart, he would still have a chance as long as he entered the realm of the natural.

However, with his energy center destroyed, it meant that his foundation was broken, and he could only become useless, even with the spirit of the sword, it was of no help at all.

His grandfather’s expectations and the thirteen years of patience were all destroyed in this moment.

He wanted to tear the woman in front of him apart, but he felt powerless!

"I have instructed my servants not to stop you from leaving, but I think it would be better for you to stay here."

Yu Youwei, however, didn’t even look at him, she sheathed her sword and turned to leave.

"So this is what you call keeping your promise!!!"

Yi Qianmo, with blood in his mouth, lay on the ground, letting out a painful cry.

After thirteen years of training together, he had even nurtured a bit of affection for Yu Youwei, but he never expected she would be such a cruel person.

Yes, she kept her promise, but she also destroyed all his hopes; he was unwilling to accept this because it was also the hope of his family!

"I won’t give up!!!"

His eyes glowed blood red, filled with anger and unwillingness, igniting the sword intent he had cultivated for thirteen years.

"Boom"

A loud sound exploded in his mind, as if the world was being created anew. That sword intent burned like a fierce flame, flowing through his limbs and body.

"Great ease returns to hiddenness, from darkness to brightness, with innate flaws, supplemented by the acquired…"

A grand voice suddenly echoed in his mind, and his blood-red eyes sparkled with a glimmer of silver light.

This light quickly swallowed his eyes and, like his sword intent, seeped into his body.

If Yu Youwei were here, she would be shocked.

Because at this moment, Yi Qianmo was floating in the air, like a piece of jade, radiating a silvery glow.
