《Heaven Wrath Arts》


 C1

    At dusk, the Mystic Heaven Realm and the Star River Region intersected. This was the place with the most sun and moon essences in the entire Ten Heavenly Regions.


    The number one Battle Elder of the Profound Heaven Realm, Li Xie, was currently standing in the Nine Profound Heavenly Cauldron with his hands raised, attracting the Sun and Moon''s essence. He was just one step away from the Sky Realm.


    The Nine Profound Heavenly Cauldron was a divine tool, and it took Li Xie a lot of effort and effort to find it in the entire Ten Great Heavenly Regions.


    At this moment, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Everything around was peaceful and peaceful.


    Ever since the primal chaos began and the formation of the ten Heavenly Regions, no one had been able to become the first Sky Realm Martial Cultivator.


    The wind screamed in Li Xie''s ears, and at this moment, he was brimming with energy.


    Li Xie felt that his body was filled with power, constantly releasing it after condensing, and it was extremely possible that he would have a complete ascension in the next moment!


    Rumble rumble rumble!


    Suddenly, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky, landing beside the Nine Profound Heavenly Cauldron.


    The calm surrounding him was instantly broken as the Nine Profound Heavenly Cauldron vibrated a few times.


    Li Xie raised his head to look at the night sky. Black clouds were rolling in the night sky and everything was in a mess.


    Li Xie couldn''t help but frown. The thing he was most worried about had still happened.


    Every hundred years, they would collide with each other at the border of the Realm of Mystic Heaven. The Realm of Mystic Heaven and the Realm of Stars were no exception. Whether it was mountains, swamps, or lakes, they would all be razed to the ground.


    One of the Ten Heavenly Realms, the Heaven''s Expanse Palace, had become a desert hundreds of years ago.


    Damn it, just give me another hour! Li Xie frowned and roared.


    BOOM! BOOM! "Boom!


    In a split-second, numerous bolts of lightning descended from the sky, and Nine Profound Heavenly Cauldron was instantly split into pieces by the lightning, scattering to the ground.


    Li Xie jumped out of the Nine Profound Heavenly Cauldron first and landed on the ground, causing the ground to shake.


    At this moment, it was as if the night sky was being ravaged by all sorts of strange forces. Violent winds and torrential rain, lightning flashed and rumbled!


    Soon after, a small crack appeared at the boundary between the Mystic Heaven Realm and the Star River Region. Without enough time for Li Xie to dodge, he fell straight into the crack.


    Sou sou ¡­


    Li Xie continuously plummeted downwards, and it was as if there was an endless abyss behind him. A pair of hands were pulling him downwards.


    Li Xie''s vision had already blurred, and what followed after was him gradually losing consciousness, and fainting in the end.


    After an unknown amount of time, when Li Xie opened his eyes once again, he discovered that he had arrived at a familiar yet unfamiliar place.


    Li Xie tried his best to get off the bed, and then he started pacing back and forth in the room.


    A series of distant memories appeared before his eyes. He couldn''t help but slightly raise the corner of his mouth.


    He was currently in the Guangxuan City, and this was his home before he went to the Profound Sky Region!


    Guangxuan City was the largest city in the southeast direction of the Wind Element Continent. Outside of the city, there were numerous forces of various sects.


    I''m back! Li Xie said with a long sigh.


    This feeling was simply too good, even though he was close to becoming the first Heaven stage Martial Cultivator in history to fail in the end.


    Even Li Xie''s sky spirit vein was slightly damaged, the realm of Martial Cultivator was weakened by quite a bit. Even the Purple Radiant Primordial Flame he cultivated in the Realm of Mystic Heaven was dim, but he did not frown because of it.


    Young master finally woke up!


    In an instant, the long silent Li Mansion was ignited.


    Ever since Li Xie had suddenly disappeared three years ago, his Li Mansion had declined.


    Three years ago, Li Xie was the most talented young Martial Cultivator, and even the master of Guangxuan City had to greet him with a smile.


    At that time, the Li Mansion was at its most glorious time, and no one dared to go against it.


    Three years later, he returned. It was unknown if his Guangxuan City had changed in any way or not.


    Without waiting for Li Xie to come out of his thoughts, the news of Li Xie waking up had already spread across the entire Li Mansion.


    In the blink of an eye, Li Xie''s front door was already packed. Li Xie took a glance and saw joy in everyone''s eyes.


    Amongst the crowd, the ones that left the most impression on Li Xie were the old butler and his sister.


    After not seeing him for three years, the old butler''s hair had already turned white. Time had finally left an indelible mark on his face.


    The only thing that made Li Xie gratified was that his sister seemed to have matured quite a bit. He couldn''t help but walk forward and embrace her.


    Three years ago, after Li Xie''s parents had passed away from illness, Li Xie had left his Guangxuan City and went to various places to train.


    Coincidentally, Li Xie met Daoist Yue Feng. Daoist Yue Feng saw that Li Xie was surprised by his bones and wanted to train him to be his successor. Thus, he kidnapped Li Xie and brought him back to the Ten Heavenly Regions.


    In the Ten Heavenly Regions, every month meant one year in the mortal world. Li Xie spent every single day like a year in the Profound Sky Region.


    In order to leave the Realm of Mystic Heaven as soon as possible, Li Xie wanted to become a Heaven Realm Martial Cultivator so badly.


    With the Nine Profound Heavenly Cauldron destroyed, all of Li Xie''s effort had gone to waste. It was as if the heavens had pitied Li Xie''s effort and sent him back to the mortal world.


    Li Xie''s sister was called Li Naner. She gently pushed Li Xie away.


    These three years, many people said that Li Xie had died, but she had always thought that her brother was still alive.


    Brother, where have you been these past three years? Where is the crane that brought you back last night? Li Naner asked with a hint of complaint and worry in her tone.


    Naner, not long after I left the Guangxuan City, I bumped into the Iron Horse Gang. I was captured and trapped in the Iron Horse Mountain, and last night, the Iron Horse Gang held a feast, so I took advantage of their moment of inattention to escape. Li Xie frowned and said.


    Now, Li Xie still could not tell others about his real encounters during these three years. If this were to leak out, he would be attacked by everyone.


    Young Master, it''s good that you can come back, my Li Mansion really needs you! The old butler said with a smile.


    Uncle Li, thank you for all these years! Li Xie looked at the old butler and said.


    Although Li Xie didn''t know what had happened to his Li Mansion in the past three years, he knew that if it wasn''t for the old butler, his Li Mansion would have certainly been thrown into chaos.


    Get out of my way!


    An explosive shout came from the main gate of the Li Mansion, causing the Li Mansion, which was immersed in a joyful atmosphere, to be instantly awaken.


    Li Xie''s face sank, the shout just now sounded very familiar.


    However, Li Xie quickly revealed a smile again. Since the honored guest had come for Li Mansion, as the master, he had to go welcome them.


    Under Li Xie''s instructions, everyone moved to the side, allowing Li Xie to move forward.


    Without waiting for Li Xie to reach the Li Mansion''s gate, the owner of that explosive shout had already rushed into the backyard of the Li Mansion.


    Li Xie''s footsteps came to a halt, just as he expected.


    The person who came was none other than Li Xie. The two of them were way too familiar with each other.


    The person''s name was Li Xin. Three years ago, his position in the Li family was only second to Li Xie and Li Fang.


    Li Xin narrowed his eyes and sized Li Xie up. When he found out that Li Xie had returned alive, he immediately rushed over.


    If it was three years ago, Li Xin would have definitely carried a smiling face and offered flattery without any hesitation.


    But today was different from the past. The glory of Li Xie in the Li Family was already in the past.


    Li Xin laughed coldly, furthermore, he could see that Li Xie was not fully recovered from his injuries.

 C2

    Li Xin patted Li Xie''s shoulder with his hand, his expression calm, as though he was an elder treating a junior.


    Li Xin, our Young Master needs to rest, I hope you don''t cause trouble! The old butler''s face darkened as he said this.


    Oh, it''s not your turn here! Was Li Xie a mute now? Li Xin stared at the old butler, and then looked at Li Xie with a smile that did not reach his eyes.


    In the past he didn''t have a choice, but now he just wanted to make Li Xie lose face as much as possible!


    Li Xin, it has been three years since we last met, why have you become so arrogant today? Li Xie asked with interest.


    My mood is great today, if not, I would have ordered someone to drive all of you out of the Li Mansion already. Right now, Sir Fang Xing is the Li Family''s Patriarch, so this Li Mansion should belong to Sir, if you know what''s good for you, then scram! Li Xin said coldly.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows. If he had not been kidnapped by Yue Feng and sent to the Ten Great Heavenly Regions, it would not have been Li Fang''s turn to become the Li Family''s Patriarch.


    No wonder Li Xin had become so arrogant. It turned out that he was hugging Li Fang''s thigh.


    In Li Xie''s eyes, Li Fang''s thighs were just two tree branches.


    In the three years that he was gone from Guangxuan City, Li Fang took this opportunity to climb up.


    Li Xin, what if I don''t want to move out of Li Mansion? Li Xie asked.


    Humph! Since you refuse the toast and want the forfeit, I will naturally not disappoint you! Li Xin said as the corner of his mouth twitched.


    What? You want to make a move on me? Three years ago, you were repeatedly defeated by me! Li Xie said as the corner of his mouth slightly raised.


    You said it was three years ago, and now you look as weak as an ant! A weak ant! Li Xin said with a cold expression.


    Brother, let me show Li Xin something! Li Naner walked to Li Xie''s side and glared at Li Xin.


    Oh, isn''t this Naner! It''s really getting more and more refreshing. How about you stay here and wash my feet every day, I''ll let you have a good night of pain! With that said, Li Xin reached out his hand to pinch Li Naner''s cheek.


    Bang!


    Li Xie extended his left hand and grabbed Li Xin''s arm that was reaching towards Li Naner. With a little strength in his hand, Li Xin''s eyebrows immediately furrowed.


    Li Xin''s eyes widened, and immediately kicked at Li Xie''s abdomen, but unexpectedly, Li Xie raised Li Xin''s arm, and when his hand loosened, Li Xin fell down flat on his face.


    Li Xin stared at Li Xie with his face covered in dirt. He hated that he couldn''t immediately skin Li Xie alive.


    I never thought that Li Xin, in these three years, you actually didn''t make any progress at all! Li Xie said indifferently.


    Li Xin immediately stood up with his hands behind his back. At this moment, his eyes were already red, and the veins on his fists were popping out.


    Li Xie, you better kowtow and beg for forgiveness now, if not, Young Noble Fang will kill everyone around you! Li Xin roared.


    Is Li Fang so fierce now? Li Xie raised his eyebrows and asked.


    Humph! I''m as fierce as Young Master Fang, and I still need to shit on your head! Right now, releasing Young Master is the young Martial Cultivator with the most talent in Guangxuan City. Only under his lead will the Li Family return to its former glory. Li Xin said as the corner of his mouth twitched.


    I''m sorry, I''ve come back, and I want everything that belongs to me! With that said, Li Xie punched Li Xin''s chest.


    Bang!


    As if he had been hit by a huge rock. After Li Xin landed on the ground, blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth and he immediately fainted due to the pain.


    After a moment, the unconscious Li Xin was carried by his followers to Li Fang.


    Li Fang scrunched his eyebrows. Li Xin had been determined to win just now. Who knew that he had come back lying on the ground?


    Even though Li Xin was still breathing, from today onwards, he would be a cripple.


    Li Fang waved his hand and Li Xin''s followers retreated with their heads lowered.


    Li Fang looked around. Other than Li Xin who was lying down, there was only him and his master Tang Gang left in the living room.


    Under Li Fang''s gaze, Tang Gang quickly walked to Li Xin''s side and squatted down. He then pressed his hand on Li Xin''s chest.


    Li Xin''s chest was already caved in, and Tang Gang couldn''t help but frown.


    Tang Gang''s expression naturally couldn''t escape Li Fang''s eyes as he could see why his master was frowning.


    Since he was young, Li Fang had always viewed Li Xie as his opponent, and if not for Li Xie''s existence, he would not be the Li Fang he was today.


    Not long after Li Xie left the Guangxuan City, there was no news of him.


    It wasn''t easy for him to gain his current status. Even if Li Xie had come back alive to take a peek, Li Fang would not have given him the chance to do so.


    Tang Gang stood up and bowed towards Li Fang as he had something to say.


    Master, please speak. I will definitely listen attentively! Li Fang looked at Tang Gang and said.


    Young master, that bastard Li Xie could have taken Li Xin''s life, but he chose to leave a trace of energy for Li Xin to live. Tang Gang slowly said.


    No matter, I am not the Li Fang from three years ago, I have the strength to make Li Xie bow down before me! Li Fang said confidently.


    Yes, Young Noble, Li Xin''s wounds have brought us some useful information, that bastard Li Xie will definitely not be able to escape from our grasp! Tang Gang said.


    Li Fang naturally understood Tang Gang''s meaning as he could tell from the injuries on Li Xin''s chest that Li Xie was in the Martial Cultivator and the way he swung his fists.


    Li Fang judged that Li Xie''s Martial Cultivator was at a stage above the Mortal Realm, while his was already at the middle level of the origin realm, so his strength was definitely above Li Xie''s.


    Above that was the Awakened Realm, Origin Realm, Profound Realm, Burning Realm, Ferocious Realm, Zong Realm, Sheng Realm, Supreme Realm, King Realm, Emperor Realm, and the supreme Realm of Qi Tian.


    Tomorrow, we will invite Li Xie to be our guest! Li Fang said with a smile.


    As long as Li Xie''s head was removed, Li Fang would be able to take this opportunity to let his name resound through the entire Guangxuan City once again.


    After all, Li Xie was the young Martial Cultivator with the most talent in Guangxuan City a few years ago, and his reputation was like thunder.


    The more Li Fang thought about it, the more excited he became. He could not wait to see Li Xie''s bloodied body!


    Several hours later, day broke and the sun once again shone brightly through the entire Guangxuan City.


    The news of Li Xie coming back alive had already spread throughout the streets and alleys of the entire Guangxuan City, causing them to boil over with excitement.


    Many people wanted to visit Li Xie at Li Mansion, but there were even more who wanted to watch the show.


    Right now, the Patriarch of the Li family was Li Fang, and everyone knew that Li Fang and Li Xie''s relationship was like fire and water.


    This time, although Li Xie had returned alive, it was said that Li Xie had been trapped in the Steel Horse Mountain for three years.


    Li Fang would definitely find a chance to defeat Li Xie in front of everyone, and thus become the Li Family''s leader in name.


    Following the Guangxuan City of the common folk and the Martial Cultivator, which blocked Li Fang''s Manor''s entrance to the point where not even a drop of water could pass through, Li Xie was already standing in the front courtyard.


    Li Xie looked to his left and right, and Li Fang''s guards all stared fiercely at him.

 C3

    They were just like a pack of wolves, while Li Xie was just a lamb in their eyes. As long as Li Fang gave the order, they would attack together.


    Not long ago, when Li Fang sent people to invite him, Li Xie came over without hesitation.


    Even though the Purple Radiant Primordial Flame in his body was still dim, he was not afraid of Li Fang''s killing intent.


    Following the sound of footsteps entering Li Xie''s ears, Li Jun appeared majestically in front of Li Xie as he was surrounded by the guards.


    After a few years of not seeing him, Li Fang''s body had become thicker than Li Xie''s.


    In the blink of an eye, Li Fang had already walked in front of Li Xie. He smiled faintly, as he knew that with Li Xie''s personality, he would not be afraid to come to his courtyard.


    Since Li Xie had already come, he would definitely let his stay in his courtyard forever.


    Tang Gang, who was standing beside Li Fang, looked at Li Xie with squinted eyes. It was just as the rumors said, Li Xie had a pretty and delicate face, a talent beyond imagination.


    Unfortunately, only one of them was destined to live between Li Xie and Li Fang.


    Tang Gang gave a signal to the guards behind him, who tacitly took a few steps back.


    Li Xie, I thought that I would never be able to see you again in this life and for the rest of my life! Li Fang said with the corner of his mouth raised.


    Li Fang, you were the one who sent Li Xin to cause trouble at Li Mansion? Li Xie asked with a gloomy face.


    You are wrong, I sent Li Xin to ask you all to leave Li Mansion, not to cause trouble, after all I am the Li Family''s Patriarch, you all do not have the qualifications to continue staying in Li Mansion! Li Fang said coldly.


    You are the Li Family''s Patriarch? Li Xie asked with a tone full of suspicion.


    Li Fang''s brows twitched as he clapped his hands. The elders of the Li family walked up from behind him.


    The Li family elders who were standing by Li Fang''s side bowed and saluted him. They glanced at Li Xie, their eyes cold and calm.


    At this moment, Li Fang was extremely excited. All of the Li family''s elders were supporting him, he was sure that Li Xie would not be able to stir up any trouble no matter how loud he went.


    Even if three years ago Li Xie was the young Martial Cultivator with the most talent in Guangxuan City and was also the best candidate to become a Patriarch of the Li Family, both of them had already changed their minds.


    Li Fang frowned, he could not even see a trace of panic in Li Xie''s eyes.


    Li Fang sneered. He felt that Li Xie was pretending to be calm.


    Third Uncle, you have always supported me in shouldering the Li family''s Patriarch position. Li Xie gazed at the middle aged man with a horse face and asked.


    Young Master Xie, why did you come back? You really shouldn''t have come back! The horse-faced middle-aged man said with a gloomy tone.


    Young Noble Xie, your Martial Veins have been damaged, do you want to fight with Young Noble for the position of Patriarch? Don''t overestimate yourself!


    That''s right! Hurry up and apologize to Young Master Fang. We might be able to plead on your behalf, and if you let go of this little life of yours!


    Only by releasing the young master would he be able to bring the Li family back to its glory! You are a burden!


    Li Xie laughed bitterly. The elders of the Li Family standing opposite him clearly looked the same as three years ago, but now they made him feel very unfamiliar.


    At that time, they only knew how to flatter and flatter Li Xie, and things were completely different now.


    Li Xie, did you hear that? The Li family''s elders do not welcome you back! The corner of Li Fang''s mouth twitched as he asked with a cold expression.


    I am very disappointed with you all. A few years ago, the Iron Horse Gang attacked Guangxuan City and if not for me, you all might have died under the blade of the Iron Horse Gang! Li Xie shouted as he looked at the Li Family elders who were standing opposite of him.


    After the Li Family elders finished listening to Li Xie, they all lowered their heads and did not say a word.


    The truth was just as Li Xie had said, they were naturally ashamed.


    Right, you really are a group of ungrateful bastards!


    Everyone looked over and saw the old butler from Li Mansion rushing over. The guards from Li Fang Yuan''s courtyard were unable to stop him.


    In the blink of an eye, the old butler stood beside Li Xie and glared at him.


    Uncle Li, since you are an old man from the Li Mansion, I was prepared to let you live for a few more days. Just as he finished speaking, Li Fang punched the old butler''s chest.


    Ah!


    As the old butler''s scream resounded above Li Fang''s courtyard, the old butler''s throat turned salty and fresh blood splattered all over the floor. Before he could even close his eyes, he had already died!


    Li Fang! Li Xie bellowed, he raised his fist and punched Li Fang''s chest.


    Li Fang turned his body quickly, and Li Xie''s fist flew past his shoulder.


    At this moment, the Li family''s elders scattered in all directions in panic.


    They could see the endless killing intent in Li Xie''s eyes, which immediately made their hearts jump and their bodies tremble.


    Li Fang coldly looked at Li Xie, in his eyes, Li Xie''s punches were too slow!


    Compared to three years ago, Li Xie''s strength seemed to have not increased at all.


    Li Fang''s figure flashed, and instantly appeared behind Li Xie, taking the chance to pull out the Nine Souls Sword from Li Xie''s back and tightly grip it in his hands.


    The Nine Souls Sword was a high-grade Heaven-ranked weapon. Only the Li Family Patriarch had the right to possess it.


    Li Xie, today, I will use the Nine Souls Sword in my hands to cut off your head! Li Fang turned and stared at Li Xie as he spoke.


    Li Xie quickly pounced towards Li Fang, even though Li Fang was holding onto the Nine Souls Sword.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    Sword Qi flashed by, Li Xie lowered his head to look, his arms were already filled with sword wounds.


    Li Fang''s mouth twitched. This was just the beginning, he would personally torture Li Xie in front of everyone here.


    Li Fang had always lived under the shadow of Li Xie, and his heart was filled with resentment.


    In the blink of an eye, Li Fang leaped to Li Xie''s back and took the chance to strike Li Xie on his back with the sword hilt. Li Xie was caught off guard and flew out.


    Bang!


    When Li Xie landed on the ground, the ground beneath his body had already cracked open by a few cracks.


    Li Xie clenched his teeth and stood up, but the thing that pounced at him was Li Fang''s distorted face.


    At this moment, Li Fang''s heart was in turmoil. Even though the feeling of Li Xie being ravaged back and forth felt very unreal to him, Li Fang was still intoxicated by it.


    The Li Family seniors who were still trembling with fear a moment ago stood up straight once again, they all looked at Li Xie with contempt.


    Yo! How are you the former Young Noble Xie! You''re just a piece of trash!


    Let go of the young master, let me take his head for you, so as to not dirty your hands!


    Let me do it! Let me do it!


    Li Fang laughed coldly, and walked closer to Li Xie while holding the Nine Souls Sword.


    He could tell that there were not many Elemental Energy left in Li Xie''s body. With just a slight movement of his finger, he would be able to overturn Li Xie.


    Li Xie, just rest in peace. I will send Li Naner there to accompany you soon, you won''t be alone for too long! Li Fang said.


    A wave of killing intent blew over, the sound of the wind beside Li Xie''s ears slowly stopped.


    Li Xie clenched his fists. Under everyone''s astonished gazes, he walked towards Li Fang step by step.


    Go to hell! Li Fang shouted out, and used both hands to grip the Nine Souls Sword''s sword hilt, injecting a burst of Elemental Energy into it, then waved it towards Li Xie''s neck.


    Swoosh!

 C4

    The Sword Qi roared, Li Fang laughed coldly, as though he could see Li Xie''s head being separated from his body!


    He had already waited for this day for a long time, he would not allow himself to miss it.


    Boom!


    At this moment, the Purple Radiant True Fire in Li Xie''s body opened its eyes. He had been sleeping for a long time, and if not for Li Xie being forced into a corner, he might have continued sleeping.


    As the Purple Light True Fire opened his eyes, Li Xie''s originally exhausted body instantly filled with energy. There was even a ball of flames burning in his eyes.


    In a split-second, Li Xie reached out his right hand and grabbed the sword hilt of the Nine Souls Sword, seizing the opportunity to snatch it from Li Fang''s hands.


    Suddenly, Li Xie''s left hand punched Li Fang''s chest and Li Fang flew out.


    How was this possible!


    Li Fang staggered back a few steps before regaining his balance. He was about to rush forward, but the pain in his chest made it difficult for him to do so.


    Just now, Li Xie''s punching speed was simply too fast, he was unable to dodge.


    What made Li Fang even more terrified was that there seemed to be an endless amount of power surging inside Li Xie''s body. He could not help but frown.


    Li Fang, you are not worthy of the Li Family''s position as Patriarch, and even more so not worthy of this Nine Souls Sword that is unparalleled in the world! Li Xie stared at Li Yuan and bellowed.


    Regardless of whether you admit it or not, I am still a Patriarch of the Li Family. Li Fang gritted his teeth as he spoke harshly.


    Hiss!


    Ah ¡­


    Li Fang fell to the ground. Just now, the Sword Qi had flashed by and his Earth Spiritual Martial Pulse had been cut off.


    Lying on the ground, Li Fang''s entire body was twitching uncontrollably. At this moment, his eyes gradually became empty.


    The Li Family elders and Li Fang''s master Tang Gangtong lowered their heads, trembling from head to toe.


    In the blink of an eye, it was already the morning of the second day.


    But in Guangxuan City''s study, it was a completely different scene.


    At this very moment, Guangxuan City City Master Zhang Jingzhi was pacing back and forth in his study, and the City Lord''s Mansion Guard Commander Luo Sanjiu, who was standing to the side, was frowning deeply.


    Not long ago, Zhang Jingzhi had obtained an important piece of news, which was that someone had discovered a fragment of an ancient scroll in the Riding Horse Town outside Guangxuan City City.


    The ancient scrolls had five treasures drawn on them, they were the Heavenly Rain Zither, World Shocking Gourd, Heavenly Stone, Green Feather Leaf and Myriad Tortoise. None of them were ordinary items.


    It was said that as long as these five items were collected, they would be able to awaken the ancient scrolls and find the Nine Desolations Pavilion. The Nine Desolations Pavilion contained the Angry Heavenly Art, and the Angry Heavenly Art was the most exquisite sword technique of the Wind Tactic Continent.


    The news about the ancient scrolls spread like wildfire. No matter whether it was Demon Clan or Demon Clan, all of the various forces had moved.


    Zhang Jingzhi stopped and let out a long sigh. The chaotic world of East Qin Kingdom had arrived.


    As the largest city in the southeastern part of the East Qin Kingdom, Guangxuan City naturally could not escape this calamity.


    At this moment, Zhang Jingzhi had to find someone to retrieve these five treasures, and use them to awaken the ancient scrolls. In the end, he had to smoothly bring the Wrath of the Heavenly Arts from the Nine Desolate Pavilion back to the Guangxuan City.


    The Wang Family Young Master from the east side had a dignified appearance, the Ma Family Young Master from the west side had astonishing strength, but Zhang Jingzhi did not think that they were suitable.


    After thinking about it, Zhang Jingzhi decided to let Li Xie complete this mission.


    Looking at the entire Guangxuan City, Zhang Jingzhi felt that only Li Xie had the ability to complete this mission.


    Zhang Jingzhi turned around and glanced at Luo Sanjiu, it was not yet time for him to take the risk.


    Even if Zhang Jingzhi was the noble mayor of the Guangxuan City, he only trusted Luo 3000 the most.


    City Lord! Young Master Li has arrived!


    Bring him in!


    As Zhang Jingzhi''s voice faded, Li Xie walked quickly into the study. He cupped his fists and bowed to Zhang Jingzhi.


    After not seeing him for a few years, Li Xie felt that Zhang Jingzhi had become more tired than before.


    Li Xie and Zhang Jingzhi''s relationship was ordinary, but at this time, Li Xie still could not understand why Zhang Jingzhi specially sent someone to invite him to the City Lord''s Mansion.


    Seeing that Zhang Jingzhi was so worried, Li Xie really wanted to know what happened.


    Young Master Li, how have you been! Zhang Jingzhi cupped his hands and said to Li Xie.


    City Master Zhang, what did you ask me to come to City Lord''s Mansion for? Li Xie went straight to the point.


    Young Master Li, you are just as impatient as you were before! Zhang Jingzhi sighed.


    Well, I just don''t like to beat around the bush. Li Xie said.


    Young Master Li, have you heard of ancient scrolls? Zhang Jingzhi asked.


    Ancient scrolls? Li Xie raised his eyebrows and said.


    When he was in the Mystic Heaven Realm, he had heard about the ancient scrolls. Could it be that the ancient scrolls had already descended in the mortal world?


    Li Xie stared at Zhang Jingzhi and he could already tell the answer from Zhang Jingzhi''s eyes.


    The appearance of the Ancient Scroll would definitely cause various forces to fight amongst themselves, and what would follow would definitely be a bloody mess. It was no wonder that Zhang Jingzhi had a worried look.


    Li Xie couldn''t help but clench his fists. The appearance of an ancient scroll was a good opportunity for him.


    Young Master Li, I entrust the peace within a hundred mile radius of Guangxuan City to you! Zhang Jingzhi said as he looked at Li Xie with anticipation.


    Are there any divine tools hidden in the ancient scrolls? Li Xie asked with interest.


    He did not have a divine tool, but he could find the Nine Desolate Pavilion through an ancient scroll. Zhang Jingzhi said.


    When Li Xie heard the two words, Heaven''s Fury Skill, his eyes immediately lit up.


    Mn, City Lord Zhang, what should I do to find the ancient scrolls? Li Xie asked.


    Someone had already found a fragment of an ancient scroll in the Town of Shang Ma. Presumably, the ancient scroll was already close to awakening, as long as they collect the Heavenly Stones, Startling Gourd, Heavenly Jade Zither, Myriad Turtle and Green Feathered Leaf, they could awaken the ancient scroll at the fastest speed possible! Zhang Jingzhi said.


    After leaving the City Lord''s Mansion, Li Xie returned to the Li Mansion to organize everything. Then, he left the Guangxuan City to go to the Stronghold Town.


    Riding Horse Town was located in the northwest of Guangxuan City. Demon Clan and Devil Clan would frequently appear here.


    Looking at the area of the Guangxuan City, it was one of the most bustling places in the town.


    On the north side of the town was a lush forest. It was said that demon beasts often came and went inside.


    The person who discovered the Ancient Era''s Scroll fragment was an ordinary civilian. Right now, he had already died a violent death.


    The commoners in the town were all panicking, many of them had already moved to the Guangxuan City.


    When Li Xie rushed to Ma Zhen, it was already evening. Li Xie wanted to find an inn to stay, but it was already packed full of people.


    No matter if it was the famous orthodox sects, evil sects, or Devil Clan, they all sent people to Shang Ma Town.


    At this time, the atmosphere in the town was even more lively than before. On the streets, Martial Cultivator with weapons could be seen everywhere.


    Since the inns at the north side of the town were already filled with people, it was fortunate that Li Xie had entered the dense forest north of the town.


    After entering the forest, Li Xie found an empty patch of grass to rest on under the tree.


    Li Xie lifted his head to look at the night sky.


    The surroundings were very quiet, Li Xie did not hear any sounds of Strange Beast going about.


    Just as Li Xie was about to close his eyes and rest, he heard some soft footsteps approaching.


    Li Xie immediately looked around, but did not see anyone nearby.


    At this moment, a man was using his feet to hook onto a branch and looking down at Li Xie. He was as light as a swallow.


    The man was dressed in gray, his lips were black, he had a head of hair like hay, and he had a pair of eagle-like eyes.


    Hey! I was the first to take a fancy to this place.

    Li Xie raised his brows, he instantly stood up and smirked.


    Who are you? Why did he not have the guts to show himself when he had the guts to speak? Li Xie said loudly.


    Lift up your pig head and look up. Actually, I already showed myself, but you didn''t notice!


    Li Xie immediately raised his head and looked up; the man''s face just happened to be right in front of his eyes.


    Li Xie punched towards the man''s face, and the man immediately somersaulted and landed in front of Li Xie.


    The eagle-eyed man''s movements were light, but when he landed, he was full of strength. A burst of air current rushed towards Li Xie.


    Yo! I didn''t expect you to be even more despicable and shameless than me. You actually dared to sneak attack me! the man said angrily.


    You still haven''t told me who you are. Li Xie frowned and asked.


    The man raised his eyebrows. He felt that regardless of appearance or temperament, he had the demeanor of a great character. Why didn''t the young brat standing in front of him quickly come over and hug his thigh?


    Who the hell was he? Could it be that the young man''s neck was shaped like a rock? Not the head?


    What a pity, what a pity. The man inwardly sighed at the young boy''s stupidity! Otherwise, he was prepared to accept this young lad as his lackey!


    Brat, I''m the Iron Horse Gang''s Sect Leader, Cao Biao. You must have heard of him! The man said with a smile.


    So you are Cao Biao! Li Xie bellowed, the Iron Horse Gang was the strongest sect in the area within a hundred miles of Guangxuan City.


    In order to deal with the rampage of the Iron Horse Gang, as the City Master of Guangxuan City, Zhang Jingzhi had to put in a lot of effort.


    A few years ago, the Iron Horse Gang had once charged into the Guangxuan City, but in the end, Li Xie led a group of young Martial Cultivator and chased the Iron Horse Gang out of the Guangxuan City.


    Humph! Since you''ve heard of my reputation, you don''t need me to teach you what to do next, right? My patience is limited! Cao Biao narrowed his eyes and said.


    I really do not know what to do next. Li Xie asked.


    Eh? Who the hell are you? You actually dare to speak to me in such a calm manner? Cao Biao asked curiously.


    I am Li Xie! Li Xie stared at Cao Biao, his eyes flashing with light.


    Ah!" So you are the youngest and most talented martial artist in the entire Grand Dominance City, Li Xie! If it wasn''t for you, my Iron Horse Gang''s reputation would have been even louder! Cao Biao said.


    Heh, Sect Master Cao, you must be here at Horse Town for the ancient scrolls, right? Li Xie said.


    Whether it''s the ancient scroll or your head, it''s all mine! I will wait for you at the Iron Horse Mountain! Just as he finished speaking, Cao Biao turned around and disappeared without a trace.


    Li Xie heaved a long sigh. Tonight, he was no longer sleepy, even though Cao Biao had already left the Shang Ma Town, his eyes and ears had definitely stayed inside the Jia Ma Town.


    A few hours later, day broke. Li Xie walked out of the forest and returned to the Town of Horses.


    In order to fill his stomach, Li Xie found a noodle shop on the side of the road and sat down, then ordered a bowl of noodles on the signboard.


    The business of the noodle shop was not bad. If not for Li Xie''s early arrival, he might not have taken his seat.


    Li Xie looked to his left and right, and saw that there were disciples from other sects who were eating noodles at the noodle house.


    They were sizing up Li Xie, and when they saw that he was only one person, they all revealed looks of looking at him as if he was about to die.


    In the recent days, there had been people dying every day for no reason. There were even people whose corpses were nowhere to be found.


    Just at this time, a sturdy man walked to Li Xie''s side, he tilted his head and looked at Li Xie, and smiled.


    The burly man patted Li Xie''s shoulder, indicating that Li Xie should stand up and talk to him. He was someone with status.


    Li Xie acted as if he was very scared, and stood up while trembling in fear.


    The burly man revealed a satisfied expression, then he placed the sword in his hand on the table beside him.


    Young man, getting on the horse is very dangerous. I see that you are in the dark, so I advise you to find someone to go with you. That way, you can save your life. The burly man said slowly.


    Ah? Can you really save my life? Li Xie asked suspiciously.


    Of course! I can wield my sword at the fastest speed in a hundred miles! The burly man patted his chest and said loudly.


    Bang!


    Before the burly man could turn around, someone from behind kicked him flying.


    The burly man staggered to his feet, then glared fiercely at the person who kicked him away, his hands clenching into fists.


    The one who kicked the sturdy man flying was a middle-aged Martial Cultivator with a pair of triangular eyes.


    Humph! I am the fastest in a hundred miles'' radius to wield a sword! The middle aged Martial Cultivator with triangular eyes shouted.


    Ah!" I''ll kill you! With a loud shout, the burly man ran over to pick up the sword and gripped it tightly in his hand.


    Swoosh!


    The Sword Qi flashed, and the burly man looked down, his Martial Veins had already been severed!


    Hiss!


    The middle aged Martial Cultivator raised the sword in his hand, and the Sword Qi instantly cut off the big burly man''s neck, causing the big burly man to immediately fall down to the ground.


    In the blink of an eye, the burly man lying in a pool of blood had already lost his breath.


    The middle aged Martial Cultivator''s mouth raised, he wielded the sword and quickly walked to Li Xie''s side.


    The middle-aged Martial Cultivator squinted his eyes. In his eyes, as long as he moved his pinky, he could pinch Li Xie to death three or four times.


    At this time, the middle aged Martial Cultivator looked around and saw that all the people, who were just spectating, had surrounded him.


    They took off the clothes of the other sects, revealing the black armor unique to their Devil Clan.


    The middle aged Martial Cultivator patted Li Xie''s shoulders, then raised his sword and waved it in front of Li Xie, the corners of his mouth full of ruthlessness.


    You... All of you are Devil Clan? Li Xie asked with trembling hands.


    Right, little brat, you only have two choices. One is to immediately kowtow and ask us to spare our lives, and the other is to immediately drop our heads on the ground! The middle aged Martial Cultivator said as the corners of his mouth twitched.


    Is there no third way to choose? Li Xie asked with a face filled with fear.


    Hm? Did you not see clearly that my sword is the fastest sword in a hundred miles? The middle-aged Martial Cultivator said with a cold tone.


    Brother, he also has a sword on his back!


    Heh! You also use a sword? He was simply overestimating himself!


    Hurry up and give me the sword on your back, maybe I will let you die a little faster!


    Li Xie clenched his fists, and then his expression gradually became calm again.


    He no longer had any interest in wasting time with this group of Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s. Just now, he chose this noodle house because he smelled the demonic aura that came from it.


    Stinking brat! Were you scared silly! The middle-aged Martial Cultivator roared!


    All of you, scram! Li Xie said coldly.


    You''re courting death!


    Boom!


    As the Nine Souls Sword s galloped, the Devil Clan Martial Cultivator beside Li Xie fell to the ground.


    Li Xie quickly walked to the side of the middle-aged Martial Cultivator and pointed the Nine Souls Sword at his chest with an imposing manner like a rainbow.


    At this moment, the middle-aged Martial Cultivator''s eyes were filled with fear.


    Just now, whether it was Li Xie pulling out the sword or swinging it, he did not manage to see it clearly.

 C6

    Li Xie shook the Nine Souls Sword in his hand, immediately scaring the middle aged Martial Cultivator to death.


    When Li Xie sheathed his sword, the Devil Clan Martial Cultivator in Ma Zhen had already left quietly.


    An hour later, Li Xie left the Ma Town and arrived at Ma Ling. Just now, he had heard the sound transmission from Zhang Jingzhi which spanned a thousand miles.


    As for what the Qing Yu Ye was, Zhang Jingzhi did not know either.


    When Li Xie rushed to Ma Ling, it was already completely silent.


    The trees on both sides of the ridge were lined with trees. The wind was blowing gently, and the branches were swaying back and forth.


    Li Xie could smell the scent of blood in the wind.


    He didn''t know who had already obtained the Blue Feather Leaf, but if someone from the Devil Clan were to snatch it away, then the situation would become even worse.


    Li Xie frowned. He wanted to collect all five of the treasures in order to wake the Ancient Scrolls, and it would become more and more difficult.


    Just as Li Xie was about to raise his foot and walk forward, the sound of footsteps came from behind him.


    Standing behind him was a woman wearing purple clothes. She looked a few years younger than him.


    The purple-clothed woman held a sword in her hand. Li Xie only needed a glance to see that the sword in her hand was naturally a middle-grade Heaven-ranked weapon.


    The purple-dressed woman sized Li Xie up from head to toe, she was filled with curiosity towards him.


    Li Xie was unlike the other young Martial Cultivator, who had firm and unswerving eyes without a trace of impurity.


    The purple-dressed woman smiled at Li Xie. She suddenly made a decision, this decision obviously had something to do with Li Xie.


    The woman in purple clothes had a very special identity. She was not a mortal woman.


    Under the clear gaze of the purple-dressed woman, the anxious Li Xie just now slowly calmed down.


    The woman''s facial features were very delicate. Her skin was like snow, as if it could be blown away and broken.


    The woman''s smile was very sweet. Even the sun high in the sky was not as warm as her smile.


    Young lady, this place is very dangerous. I advise you to leave as soon as possible! Li Xie advised.


    Is this place dangerous? Why can''t I feel it! The woman looked around and said.


    Lady, are you here for those five treasures as well? Li Xie asked.


    Well, I have the same goal as you! The woman replied calmly.


    Li Xie raised his brows, the past few days at Ma Zhen was truly lively.


    Li Xie was very curious about the woman''s identity, but he would not take the initiative to ask, because he knew that the woman would definitely tell him herself.


    Lady, do you know who snatched Qingyu Ye away? Li Xie asked.


    Qing Yu Ye was taken away by a disciple of the Iron Horse Gang, you came a step too late. The woman said.


    Iron Horse Gang? They were really fast! Li Xie sighed.


    No worries, I''ll let them protect the Green Feather Leaf for now. I''ll go get it after a few days! The woman said with a relaxed expression.


    Lady, it seems that the Iron Horse Gang is like an ant in your eyes! Li Xie said as the corners of his mouth rose.


    She quickly walked to Li Xie''s side, then circled around Li Xie and continued to speak: "My impression of you is not bad, and your looks are also right in my eyes, I''m about to go to the Ancient Fragmentary Palace, how about you be my guard and follow me there?"


    Li Xie could not help but raise his eyebrows. This woman actually made him her guard;


    Furthermore, he was going to the Ancient Fragmentary Ancestral Temple. It was said that the place was a wasteland, devoid of any signs of human life.


    Could it be that the five treasures had something to do with why the woman was rushing to the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace?


    Didn''t you want to find those five treasures? One of the treasures, the Heavenly Stone, was currently in the Ancient Fragment Palace! The woman saw through the doubt in Li Xie''s heart with a glance.


    So that''s how it is, Li Xie paused for a moment, then continued: We''ve been chatting for so long, I still don''t know your name!


    My name is Sun Pei, what about you? The woman asked with a smile.


    My name is Li Xie!


    A few hours later, Li Xie and Sun Pei arrived at the Ancient Fragmentary Ancestral House. By the time they arrived, the gate to the mansion was already filled with people.


    These people came from all kinds of sects and clans. They all came for the Heavenly Stones, and they were all confident.


    Shattered Angu Manor, which had been devoid of life, suddenly became bustling with noise and excitement.


    Just then, a Martial Cultivator with a full beard walked over to Li Xie''s side. He squinted his eyes and sized him up, his eyes filled with disdain.


    This Martial Cultivator had a blade tied to his back, and his entire body was emitting a strong killing intent.


    After looking at Li Xie, the fully bearded Martial Cultivator took the opportunity to pat Li Xie''s shoulder.


    In his eyes, Li Xie''s body was like a thin branch;


    Li Xie glanced at the bearded Martial Cultivator, his emotions not affected by him at all.


    The fully bearded Martial Cultivator''s mouth twitched. He thought that Li Xie would immediately take his smile and become his big brother, but did not expect Li Xie to be so calm.


    Little brat, I advise you to leave this place as soon as possible. This place is too dangerous. The bearded Martial Cultivator said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Hahaha! Hurry up and go, don''t take your cheap life as a joke!


    Yeah, you should hurry up and leave. On the other hand, the little beauty beside you can stay with us!


    The fully bearded Martial Cultivator looked past Li Xie and looked at him with a smile.


    Sun Pei''s exquisite face immediately made Martial Cultivator, who had a full beard, happy.


    At this time, Li Xie took a step forward, blocking the line of sight of the fully bearded Martial Cultivator.


    Martial Cultivator''s face flushed red, his hands clenched into fists, his veins popping out.


    Little brat, are you tired of living? Martial Cultivator, whose face was full of sideburns, shouted angrily.


    The one who should be tired of living is you! Li Xie said as he stared at Martial Cultivator with his full beard.


    Huh? Looks like if I don''t teach you a lesson, you won''t even know how vast the heavens are! Your parents probably died a long time ago, and no one taught you, right? With that said, the fully bearded Martial Cultivator took his blade from his back and swung it towards Li Xie''s neck.


    Just like a torrential storm, the blade wielded by the Martial Cultivator with a full beard was extremely powerful, as long as Li Xie was slightly slower, he would immediately be decapitated.


    The fully bearded Martial Cultivator laughed coldly, as if he had already seen Li Xie''s bloody and mangled appearance.


    At this moment, the Martial Cultivator who had a full beard felt that he was a fierce wolf and Li Xie was the lamb in his words!


    Clang!


    Ah!


    The screams of the fully bearded Martial Cultivator resounded around them. By the time everyone had regained their senses, the fully bearded Martial Cultivator was already lying in a pool of blood.


    His martial vein had already been cut off. Li Xie''s speed of swinging the sword was extremely fast, he did not even have the chance to dodge.


    Everyone trembled in fear and trepidation as they retreated. The killing intent that was emitted from Li Xie''s body caused them to tremble in fear.


    Sun Pei looked at Li Xie with surprise on his face. Li Xie''s skill was beyond her expectations.

 C7

    After a while, Li Xie and Sun Pei were already walking on the streets of the Ancient Fragmentation Palace.


    The two sides of the street were filled with broken walls and broken tiles. From this, one could see just how bustling the Ancient Fragmentary Ancestral House used to be, as well as the hubbub of people.


    Time flew, and the world changed. In the end, the Ancient Fragmentary Ancestral House was reduced to what it was today.


    The sound of the wind could be heard clearly. The Ancient Fragmentation Palace was very quiet, Li Xie and Sun Pei could both hear the sound of their own breathing.


    There were already quite a few people who had entered the Ancient Fragmentary Ancestral House, but they were nowhere to be seen.


    No one had told them where they were, or whether they were still alive.


    The range of the Ancient Fragmentary Ancestral Palace was very large. Li Xie and Sun Pei walked forward for a long time without reaching the end of the mansion.


    Sun Pei raised her head and looked at the sky. It was already dusk, and night was about to fall.


    When Sun Pei stopped to look back, the road they came from was already covered in mist.


    Li Xie stopped his steps and looked back, following Sun Pei''s line of sight. He felt that the Ancient Fragment Palace was doing this on purpose to have them stay.


    Where exactly was the Sky Stone? Li Xie didn''t have a clue at all at this time.


    Although the Ancient Fragmentary Ancestral House was a wasteland, it clearly had its own spiritual nature.


    Just at this moment, a crack appeared in the sky above Li Xie and his, and a faint light scattered down from the crack as it continuously spread outwards in all directions.


    The sky above the rift appeared to be an equally wide area, and he had already waved to them.


    Under Li Xie''s instructions, the Nine Souls Sword rushed out of the sword sheath like lightning.


    To go and investigate the upper part of the crevice, he could only rely on the power of the Nine Souls Sword.


    After that, the Nine Souls Sword laid down in front of Li Xie, and Li Xie jumped up onto it first.


    Whoosh ¡­


    When Li Xie and Sun Pei landed on the ground, the Nine Souls Sword had returned to the sword sheath on Li Xie''s back.


    Li Xie looked around. At this moment, they were in a place filled with trees.


    The environment here was like the difference between a heaven and earth. This place wasn''t a ruin, but a place full of life, but they were sure that this was still the Ancient Fragmentary Ancestral House.


    The faint sounds of birds and beasts came from not too far away. It sounded very clear.


    Li Xie and Sun Pei exchanged glances, both of them feeling that the Sky Stone was getting closer and closer to them.


    Swoosh!


    Just then, a man in a black robe appeared in front of Li Xie.


    The man in black robes sized Li Xie and Sun Pei up from head to toe. Li Xie''s and Sun Pei''s appearance made him feel very surprised.


    Even though there were many Martial Cultivator who had barged into the Ancient Fragmentation Realm, no one had been able to reach this place before.


    Li Xie cupped his fists and bowed to the man dressed in black robes, and then the man dressed in black robes returned the greeting.


    Are you two here for the Heavenly Stones? The man in black robes asked in a low voice.


    Yes, senior. You must know where the Heavenly Stone is in the Ancient Fragmentary Palace. Li Xie said calmly.


    The man wearing the black robe sighed inwardly. He had originally thought that he could make the Heavenly Stones stay in the Ancient Fragment Palace forever, but the fate of the heavens did not depend on his will.


    Who are you? The face of the black robed man darkened as he asked.


    My name is Li Xie, I''m just a nobody! Li Xie said.


    Li Xie? You are the young Martial Cultivator who has the most talent in Guangxuan City? The man in black robes squinted his eyes and asked.


    He didn''t dare to accept it, he didn''t dare to accept it! Li Xie replied with a look of shame.


    Humph! They were truly not as famous as they were when they met! I thought you had three heads and six arms, but I didn''t expect you to be as thin as a monkey. The black robed man''s mouth twitched as he coldly spoke.


    Hey, why is your mouth so poisonous! Sun Pei rolled her eyes at the man in black robes and said.


    Little girl, you''d better stay away from him or you''ll suffer with him! The black robed man looked at Sun Pei and advised sincerely.


    Li Xie was so angry that he laughed instead. He had already seen through the intentions of the man in black robes.


    The more vile the black robed man''s attitude was, the more he was sure that the Heavenly Stones were nearby.


    Since the Sky Stone was within reach, Li Xie naturally would not let it slip away from his fingertips.


    There wasn''t much time left for him, so he had to gather the other treasures as soon as possible.


    Li Xie, have you gone deaf or are you stupid? The black robed man shouted coldly.


    Senior, please bring out the Heavenly Stone! Li Xie said calmly.


    Heavenly Stones? You dare hit on the Heaven Stones? The corners of the black robed man''s mouth twitched as he replied.


    Not only do I need to store the Heavenly Stones in my bag, I also want to collect all five treasures so that I can awaken the ancient scrolls! Li Xie said, his eyes flashing with light.


    Humph! There were people seeking death year after year, but this year, there were a lot of them! You, Li Xie, are one of them! The man in black robe said in disdain.


    Li Xie''s face remained calm as he stared at the man in black robes. No matter what he said, Li Xie''s emotions would never be tamed by others.


    The black robed man glared. Since he could not make Li Xie lose his mind no matter how he spoke, he could only make his move.


    Hiss!


    The black robed man clenched his hand into a fist and a cold blade appeared in his hand, flying towards Li Xie.


    Li Xie gave Sun Pei a glance, and Sun Pei understood what she meant and retreated a few steps.


    Turning around, Li Xie pulled out the Nine Souls Sword on his back and walked towards the man in black robes.


    The black robed man''s attack was like the wind, the blade edge wreaking havoc, lifting the ground beside Li Xie up, causing dust to fly into the air.


    The moment they started fighting, the man dressed in black robes knew that Li Xie was still an upper stage Martial Cultivator of the Awakened Realm and his Elemental Energy was low.


    Furthermore, he was already a high-level Martial Cultivator of the upper level of the origin realm. His body was brimming with spirit energy, so he was not a mortal Martial Cultivator.


    The black robed man waved the blade in his hand until it was airtight, and kept pressing on Li Xie step by step, not giving him any time to catch his breath.


    In his eyes, no matter how Li Xie swung his sword, it was full of loopholes.


    The black robed man''s attack became more and more ferocious. Sun Pei, who was standing at the side, felt her heart palpitate.


    Sun Pei really wanted to help Li Xie, but she was afraid that it would distract him.


    The black robed man''s strength was above Li Xie, and Sun Pei was starting to worry for him.


    Li Xie, quickly give up on resisting. You are just an ant, what bullsh * t with your Guangxuan City being the most gifted young Martial Cultivator. the man in the black robe shouted.


    Hmph, don''t be happy too early! Li Xie replied coldly.


    Huh? Do you really think that you can escape from my grasp at this moment? The corners of the black robed man''s mouth twitched as he replied.


    Of course! Li Xie said calmly.


    Ah!" Li Xie, you have truly and thoroughly angered me, I will let you die a little faster! The black robed man raged with rage as he shouted.


    Boom ¡­ Boom ¡­


    A man wearing a black robe injected his spiritual energy into the blade in his hand. The blade howled as if the sky was falling and the earth was shattering.

 C8

    The man in black robes squinted his eyes, but his murderous aura was still coming out unrestrainedly.


    If looks could kill, Li Xie would have been chopped into pieces long ago!


    Clang!


    Suddenly, a man in a black robe came down from the sky and struck Li Xie in the head with his blade.


    Powerful and heavy, its strength was enough to split mountains and shatter rocks!


    Li Xie raised his Nine Souls Sword and waved it upwards, causing the Sword Qi to fly towards the man in black robes.


    The black robed man''s figure flashed, and instantly made the Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi pounce onto empty air.


    Your moves are all fancy moves. You can''t even take a single hit! The black robed man sneered as he spoke.


    Li Xie gave a bland laugh. The more arrogant the man in black robe was, the more insignificant he became in''s eyes.


    He was the youngest Battle-Saint of the 10 Heavenly Realms. Although his strength wasn''t as strong as it used to be, it wasn''t something that a man in a black robe could look down upon!


    Li Xie waved the Nine Souls Sword rapidly, and the Purple Radiant Primordial Flame in his body opened its eyes once again!


    It was time for the man in the black robe to pay the price, so that he wouldn''t look down on everyone else.


    In the blink of an eye, Li Xie felt that his body was filled with power!


    Following the opening of the Purple Radiant Primordial Flame within Li Xie''s body, the Nine Souls Sword in his hands instantly shone with boundless light!


    The black robed man sucked in a breath of cold air, sheathed his saber, and quickly retreated.


    The man in black robes had his brows knitted tightly, because he could see endless fighting spirit in Li Xie''s eyes.


    This kind of fighting spirit was simply too terrifying. It was enough to destroy the entire Ancient Fragmentary Palace.


    But even so, the man in black robes was not prepared to let Li Xie see the sun tomorrow.


    The man in black robe didn''t believe that he would be defeated by a little kid.


    The man in black robes gritted his teeth as he charged towards Li Xie. He had already activated all of the spirit energy in his body.


    Boom!


    Without waiting for the man wearing the black robe to rush in front of him, Li Xie gripped his Nine Souls Sword and waved it around, releasing the Sword Qi out in all directions.


    Under the of the Nine Souls Sword, the man in black robe looked like a tree that had been uprooted.


    At this moment, the black robed man could only hear the Sword Qi whistling in his ears.


    What happened next caused the black-robed man''s heart to palpitate even more violently. The saber in his hand actually disintegrated!


    The man in black robes seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss. He struggled nonstop, but to no avail!


    Bang!


    When the man in the black robe landed on the ground, he looked around him.


    His right hand, which had been tightly gripping the hilt of the saber, trembled slightly. He was unable to use his full strength!


    He could not believe that he had been defeated, and utterly defeated!


    As Sun Pei observed all of this, she could finally let go of the worry in her heart.


    Just then, Li Xie walked quickly to the side of the man in black robes.


    The black robed man raised his head to look at Li Xie, his eyes flickering. He did not even have the strength to stand up.


    Where was the Heavenly Stone? Li Xie looked down at the man dressed in the black robe and asked.


    I won''t tell you, even if I die! The man in black robe pretended to be calm as he spoke.


    En, in that case, I will send you on your way now! With that said, Li Xie raised the Nine Souls Sword in his hand.


    Hiss!


    The black robed man''s eyes were filled with fear, he had thought that Li Xie would give him the leeway to bargain.


    He kept him under his sword!


    When the Nine Souls Sword''s blade was just an inch away from the man in black robes, it stopped abruptly.


    Li Xie turned his face to look in the direction of the voice. Not far away, an old man with white hair was walking towards him.


    Presumably, this white-haired old man''s status in the Ancient Fragmentary Ancestral House was no lower than that of the black-robed man. He definitely knew where the Heavenly Stones were located in the Ancient Shattered Stone manor.


    After a while, the white haired old man walked to Li Xie''s side, and bowed towards him.


    The white haired elder glanced at the black robed man lying on the ground with a dejected expression.


    Second Uncle, you can never give the Heavenly Stone to him! The man in the black robe said with all his might.


    Sigh, we are no longer able to leave the Heavenly Stones in Shattered Ancestral Mansion forever. You and I must accept this fact!" The white-haired old man sighed and said.


    Senior, you are more knowledgeable than him! Li Xie said.


    Young Master Li, please look! Just as he finished speaking, the white haired old man waved his hand behind Li Xie.


    Li Xie turned around and looked at the white-haired old man''s gesture only to see that the dense fog had gradually dispersed and the Sky Stone had revealed its sharp edge.


    A thin layer of cloud surrounded the Sky Stone, and from within the stone, a sliver of spirit energy was emitted.


    The surface of the Heavenly Stones were slightly uneven. These were the Heavenly Stones that came from the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace a thousand years ago.


    Li Xie was overjoyed, after running for the past few days, he had finally gained quite a bit.


    As long as he had the Heavenly Stones, he would have the chance to find the other treasures.


    Young Master Li, whether or not you can get the Heavenly Stones to follow you out of the Ancient Shattered manor will depend on your abilities! The white-haired old man said.


    Li Xie raised the corner of his mouth, he raised the Nine Souls Sword in his hand, and under the effects of the Purple Radiant True Fire, the Nine Souls Sword began to emit a purple light.


    When the white-haired old man saw all of this, he couldn''t help but suck in a breath of cold air.


    With Nine Souls Sword in hand, Li Xie suddenly jumped up, and instantly arrived at the side of Sky Stone.


    Under the shine of the Nine Souls Sword''s purple light, the thin clouds surrounding the Sky Stone dissipated, and the spirit energy that was being emitted from inside the Sky Stone also disappeared.


    When the Heavenly Stone heard the Nine Souls Sword''s call, it kept charging out. It had not moved for a long time.


    At this moment and time, the ground under Li Xie''s feet started to shake.


    As the winds and clouds changed, lightning crackled in the skies above the Ancient Fragmentary Ancestral House. Each and every movement of the Heavenly Stone could affect everything within the mansion.


    The white-haired old man stroked his long beard, his eyes flashing with an intriguing luster.


    Bang!


    The Heavenly Stone rushed out from the ground, and then merged with the Nine Souls Sword in Li Xie''s hands!


    Li Xie threw the Nine Souls Sword upwards, and it fell down into the sword sheath.


    Li Xie turned around and quickly walked in front of the white-haired old man, clasping his fists as he saluted.


    The white-haired old man slowly closed his eyes, his expression extremely sorrowful.


    As soon as the Sky Stone leaves Shattered Ancestral City, it would quickly collapse. Even the ruins would completely disappear from the land of the East Qin Kingdom.


    A moment later, Li Xie and Sun Pei had already left the Shattered An Gu Palace. The white-haired old man bent down and helped the man in black robes up.


    Compared to before, there wasn''t much anger or grief on the face of the man in the black robe.


    They were about to leave the Ancient Fragmentary Palace and head for a place they had been waiting for for for a long time.


    A man wearing a black robe looked sideways at the white-haired old man. They had been protecting the Heavenly Stone for more than ten years.


    Second Uncle, will our plan work?


    Of course it would succeed!

 C9

    Several hours later, Li Xie and Sun Pei arrived at the Misty Bamboo Forest, where the Amber Villa was situated at.


    The Amber Villa was only a few decades old and ordinary people did not know of the existence of the East Qin Kingdom or the Amber Villa.


    The current master of the Amber Villa was Lu Li. He was only about 20 years old, but he had already been master of the mansion for more than 10 years.


    Sun Pei turned her face to look at the dragonfly in the palm of her right hand. This dragonfly was a spirit beast, and was much older than Sun Pei.


    This time, when Sun Pei came out, the Patriarch of the Spirit Race intentionally had Dragonfly follow beside Sun Pei.


    Sun Pei knew that their Clan Master had put in great effort, and naturally would not reject.


    Li Xie stood beside Sun Pei and followed his gaze to look at the dragonfly.


    Dragonfly''s attitude towards Li Xie was very ordinary, and never showed him a good face.


    Long''er, is the Heavenly Rain Zither really in the Amber Villa? Sun Pei asked again.


    Of course, my hunch was never wrong, as you know!


    The dragonfly that Sun Pei mentioned was the name that Sun Pei had given to the dragonfly, and they had already been friends for a long time.


    Yes, dragonfly, you can go back and rest. Sun Pei nodded and said.


    Un, I just want to get a good night''s sleep! Just as he finished speaking, the dragonfly shook its body and disappeared without a trace.


    Sun Pei retracted her gaze and took this opportunity to glance at Li Xie.


    Li Xie intentionally shifted his gaze towards the Misty Bamboo Forest. When he was at Guangxuan City, he had heard of the Misty Bamboo Forest.


    The Misty Bamboo Forest was filled with mist, and the faint sounds of demonic beasts could be heard.


    The Misty Bamboo Forest was a place where spiritual and beast powers intersected. It was very peaceful, but one could run into danger at any time, so people had to pay close attention when walking in there.


    The reason why Amber Villa chose to stay at the end of the Misty Bamboo Forest was probably to not attract attention.


    Li Xie was filled with interest towards what kind of scenery could be seen in the Amber Villa.


    Li Xie strode into the Misty Bamboo Forest, and when Sun Pei came back to her senses, she immediately sped up his pace and ran over.


    After Li Xie and Sun Pei entered the Misty Bamboo Forest, the Strange Beast in the Misty Bamboo Forest started to get active.


    No matter where Li Xie and Sun Pei went, there would always be Strange Beast secretly observing them. Other than the people from the Amber Villa, there were very few other Strange Beast.


    The Misty Bamboo Forest was very large. Furthermore, it was filled with a mist. As one walked further and further away, one would find it difficult to determine the direction of the mist.


    The sunlight shone through the layers of bamboo branches. Although there were only a few drops, it did not cause the Misty Bamboo Forest to appear that dark.


    Walking in the Misty Bamboo Forest, not only could the sounds of Strange Beast''s movements be heard, the sounds of birds and beasts could also be heard hovering in the sky.


    Sun Pei walked closely to Li Xie''s side, the small footsteps of the Strange Beast coming out from the corner made her a little nervous.


    However, her expression was very calm, and she would not let Li Xie see the nervousness in her heart.


    Li Xie continued to look around, he was ready to pull out his sword anytime.


    After walking for an hour, Li Xie heard the sound of water flowing, and he could not help but smile.


    The sound of the stream could very well be coming from the direction of the Amber Villa, and this Misty Bamboo Forest could very well be just a single stream.


    As if he had seen the starlight in the dark night, Li Xie instantly found his direction.


    Li Xie gave Sun Pei a look, and then, Sun Pei turned her head to listen carefully. She also heard the sound of the water flowing, clear and long.


    Li Xie and Sun Pei walked towards the direction of the sound of flowing water with large strides. They passed through the bamboo forest, the mist and the sunlight that shone on their bodies.


    When Li Xie and Sun Pei''s footsteps came to a halt, they had already walked out of the Misty Bamboo Forest.


    Right in front of Li Xie and Sun Pei, the stream was right in front of them.


    Li Xie and Sun Pei exchanged glances. They were both telling each other that what they were seeing was not an illusion.


    Li Xie started to search for the figure of the Amber Villa around the creek but after he searched around, he could not find the figure of the person from the Amber Villa.


    Where exactly was the Amber Villa? Li Xie couldn''t help but furrow his brows.


    At this time, the corner of Sun Pei''s mouth raised slightly, she once again invited Yao''er out.


    waved his wings and circled around Sun Pei, like a bee circling around a flower, never getting tired of it.


    Li Xie turned to look at all of this, he already knew Sun Pei''s status in the spirit race was very high.


    A dragonfly was a spirit beast, and it wouldn''t always be by her side for ordinary people.


    After dragonfly circled around Sun Pei once, it flapped its wings and flew across the creek water towards the southeast direction, where Li Xie and Sun Pei immediately followed suit and crossed the creek water.


    After walking a short distance to the southeast, Li Xie and Sun Pei heard the noise, and approached from afar.


    This kind of hubbub was rarely seen in the Misty Bamboo Forest, so Li Xie and Sun Pei couldn''t help but be pleasantly surprised. Without any surprises, the Amber Villa was getting closer and closer to them.


    Li Xie unconsciously quickened his pace, and quickly arrived in front of Long''er.


    At the same time, Long''er flapped her wings and landed on Li Xie''s shoulder, saving some energy.


    After passing through another patch of bamboo forest, the Amber Villa that was like a paradise, appeared in front of Li Xie and Sun Pei.


    The Amber Villa was very lively. The disciples of the Amber Villa were practicing their martial arts with a grand momentum.


    When Li Xie and Sun Pei stopped in their tracks, dragonfly took this opportunity to return to Sun Pei''s side and once again disappeared without a trace.


    The Amber Villa was right in front of Li Xie, and Li Xie swept away all of his exhausted emotions.


    The courtyards of Amber Villa were filled with trees, and at a glance, it was clear that they were full of life.


    Even the air surrounding the Amber Villa was extremely fresh, as if the Amber Villa was very different from the restless East Qin Kingdom sects.


    Li Xie''s and Sun Pei''s appearance was quickly noticed by the disciples of the Amber Villa, and they heard the sound of footsteps.


    In the blink of an eye, several disciples from the Amber Villa rushed out as they sized up Li Xie and Sun Pei in astonishment.


    Few people from Amber House came to visit, let alone the two young people.


    Li Xie bowed towards the disciples of the Amber Villa, and then, Sun Pei also kneeled down and saluted the disciples of the Amber Villa.


    The disciples of the Amber Villa gradually revealed smiles. Their impression of Li Xie and Sun Pei was not bad.


    What did you come to Amber House for? The older disciple asked.


    We are here to pay a visit to Villa Owner Lu! Li Xie cupped his hands and said.


    The people who came were guests. Invite them in quickly!


    At this moment, a deep yet youthful voice came from within the Amber Villa.


    Esteemed guests, please follow us!


    After a while, Li Xie and Sun Pei passed through the corridor between the courtyards of the Amber Villa and arrived at the living room of the Amber Villa.


    The older disciple of the Amber Villa signaled Li Xie and Sun Pei to wait a moment, then bowed and left the hall.


    Li Xie turned to look at the figure of the older disciple of the Amber Villa leaving, sighing with emotion, he thought that the disciples of the Amber Villa all seemed to be Confucian Scholars, not Martial Cultivator s.


    Sun Pei paced back and forth in the living room of the Amber Villa. She was thinking about where the Sky Rain Zither was hidden in the Amber Villa.

 C10

    The Amber Villa was neither big nor small, it wasn''t difficult to hide a treasure.


    Perhaps the master of the Amber Villa already knew what they were here for, and didn''t know how he was going to respond.


    There would be more people who would know that the Heavenly Rain Zither was in the Amber Villa, and it would not be easy for the Amber Villa to be as peaceful as it used to be.


    This is the way of the world. If you want to do well in this world, you might not be able to do so.


    Sun Pei stopped and turned to look at Li Xie, who had a calm and composed look on his face.


    At first, Sun Pei thought that Li Xie was just an ordinary Martial Cultivator, but on the way here, Li Xie had opened her eyes many times.


    Even Sun Pei felt that Li Xie had another identity, an identity that not many knew.


    Esteemed guests, I''m sorry to have kept you waiting!


    Li Xie and Sun Pei looked towards the door of the hall, only to see a man dressed in white slowly walking in front of them.


    This man in white was the owner of the Amber Villa, Lu Li. Although he was young, he was already very calm.


    Lu Li cupped his fists and saluted Li Xie and Sun Pei. There had been no guests from their Amber Villa for a long time.


    Moreover, Lu Li did not show any disgust at the appearance of Li Xie and Sun Pei. At this moment, he was just an ordinary master welcoming his guests.


    Li Xie and Sun Pei returned a salute towards Lu Li. The atmosphere in the living room was warm.


    You two must have another reason besides visiting me at Amber Villa, right? Lu Li went straight to the point.


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth rose, sighing at Lu Li''s straightforward personality.


    He didn''t say anything polite, but directly asked, which was beyond anyone''s expectations.


    Villa Owner Lu, are we actually here for the Heavenly Rain Zither? Li Xie said.


    Since Lu Li was being straightforward, Li Xie naturally did not choose to beat around the bush and directly told him the truth.


    The Heavenly Rain Zither is a ferocious beast, are you sure you want to take it away? Lu Li asked with a heavy tone.


    Villa Owner Lu, actually, if we take the Heavenly Rain Zither away, it would be a good thing for your Amber Villa. After all, even more people will know about the existence of the Amber Villa because of the Heavenly Rain Zither. Sun Pei said.


    Lu Li fell into deep thought. Of course, he knew what Sun Pei said was true.


    When Lu Li came back to his senses, there was a glimmer in his eyes that was within reach.


    What should I call you? Lu Li looked at Li Xie and Sun Pei and asked.


    My name is Li Xie!


    My name is Sun Pei!


    En, please follow me!


    After a while, Li Xie and the others arrived at the rear courtyard of the Amber Villa.


    Li Xie stopped and surveyed his surroundings. The backyard of the Amber Villa was very different from the rest of the place, the trees in the backyard were all dried up and dried up.


    Li Xie looked at Lu Li''s face and it looked like there was a layer of mist on his face right now.


    Just then, a few middle aged men angrily walked over to Li Xie and the rest.


    Lu Li bowed to them. They were all Lu Li''s elders, and one of them was Lu Li''s master.


    Lu Li''s master had a broad waist and both his arms were thicker than his thighs.


    Lu Li''s master was named Zhuang He. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Xie.


    He already knew Li Xie''s purpose for coming to the Amber Villa, and he had come precisely for this matter.


    In his eyes, Li Xie was just a thin branch.


    I thought it was a god, but it turns out he''s just a little brat who''s still wet behind the ears. He actually dared to try something with Tian Yu Qin, what a joke, what a joke! Zhuang He sneered.


    Manor Lord, please give the order to immediately chase them out of Amber Villa!


    That''s right! We don''t welcome them here!


    Master, and all you uncles, listen to me, Tian Yu Qin can no longer stay in our Amber Villa!


    Humph! Even if I did not stop him, but would this brat really have the ability to bring the Heavenly Rain Zither out of the Amber Villa? Just as he finished speaking, Zhuang He glared at Li Xie.


    How do you know you can''t do it without trying? Li Xie said calmly.


    Zhuang He shook his head in disdain. He only needed to take a look to know what kind of ability Li Xie had, he did not believe that Li Xie could take the Heavenly Rain Zither out of the Amber Villa.


    Young Master Li, please look! Lu Li quickly walked to the side of the well.


    Sun Pei turned her face and looked at Li Xie. Lu Li''s meaning was self-evident: the Heaven Rain Zither is inside the dried up well.


    However, the opening of the well was blocked by a rock. He had to move the big rock away first to let Tian Yu Qin see the light of day again.


    Li Xie quickly went to Lu Li''s side and pressed his hand on the stone. The stone was bone-chilling cold, like a thousand years old ice.


    Boy, this stone is very heavy, and is not ordinary. Even if you used all your strength, you still wouldn''t be able to move it! Zhuang He mocked.


    Humph! Judging from his young age, he definitely doesn''t know what a Heavy Rigidstone is!


    Let me tell you what a Heavy Rigidstone is. A Heavy Rigidstone is a strange stone from the Ten Heavenly Regions. It is shockingly heavy.


    Li Xie laughed coldly, this group of people truly looked down on people with their dog eyes.


    Zhuang He raised his eyebrows, seeing that Li Xie did not have any intention to retreat, he placed his hands on his waist and waited to see a good show.


    Zhuang He had tried to push away the stone before, but he failed in the end.


    From the sound of Li Xie''s footsteps, he inferred that Li Xie was only a upper stage Martial Cultivator of the Awakened Realm, and his realm was as low as dust.


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth rose. He activated all of the Elemental Energy in his body and then rushed towards his own arms.


    Li Xie tried his best to push the boulder out, but after a few tries, the boulder still didn''t budge an inch.


    Zhuang He and the rest smiled, all of this was within his expectations.


    Hahaha! Get out of here, don''t embarrass yourself here!


    This brat was really overestimating himself and making people''s hearts ache for him!


    Sun Pei clenched her delicate fists, and turned to glare fiercely at the people who mocked and ridiculed her!


    Little girl, hurry up and persuade that little brat. He can''t move his body, and there''s also the possibility of his Elemental Energy being sucked dry by the stone! Zhuang He stared at Sun Pei and said bitterly.


    Villa Owner Lu, do you know that stone can suck Elemental Energy? Sun Pei turned her face to look at Lu Li and asked.


    I know. Lu Li calmly said.


    Villa Owner Lu, were you trying to pull Young Master Li into the trap with him? Sun Pei asked, her expression extremely gloomy.


    Yes, the Heavenly Rain Zither is indeed a vicious beast, but it is also a treasure. Lu Li said, brimming with energy.


    So it turns out that you are such a crafty villain! Sun Pei shouted.


    Little girl, hurry up and prepare to collect the little brat''s corpse. The stone will quickly suck away all the weak Elemental Energy in his body, and then he will die! Zhuang He coldly said.


    When Sun Pei heard Zhuang He''s words, she immediately panicked, and quickly ran to Li Xie''s side.


    Li Xie turned his head to look at Sun Pei, and gave him a casual smile.


    Sun Pei''s anxious heart instantly calmed down, she did not know why he trusted Li Xie so much either.

 C11

    Sun Pei took a few steps back. She didn''t want Li Xie to be distracted because of her.


    Li Xie tried to free his hands from the stone. Just as Zhuang He had said, the stone had already tightly bound his hands.


    There were already not many Elemental Energy left in Li Xie''s body, and even his breathing had started to quicken.


    Zhuang He and Lu Li had all seen this. At this point, their faces were filled with evil smiles, waiting to see Li Xie die.


    They had already expected that someone would come to the Amber Villa to try and take the Heavenly Rain Zither, so they went with the flow.


    However, what they did not expect was that it was Li Xie who found the Amber Villa first. Since that was the case, they would not let Li Xie leave the Amber Villa alive.


    The Amber Villa was a beautiful place for eternal rest.


    Little brat, you''re still too young, just because you no longer have a chance to grow! Zhuang He said with a cold expression.


    Young Master Li, don''t worry. I will take good care of her for you! Lu Li said as he looked at Sun Pei.


    Sun Pei glared at Lu Li, wishing she could flay Lu Li''s skin and tear his tendons apart immediately! Lu Li was simply too despicable!


    No need!


    Following Li Xie''s furious roar, the Purple Radiant True Fire in his body opened its eyes, as if it was a clear day after a storm.


    In that moment, the previously exhausted Li Xie felt himself brimming with energy.


    Waves of divine power clashed with the Elemental Energy, causing Li Xie to be in high spirits!


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth raised, and then, in front of everyone, he lifted up the heavy boulder blocking the well and threw it to the side.


    After the heavy rock fell to the ground, it directly split apart and finally turned into ashes!


    That''s impossible!


    Zhuang He and Lu Li looked at each other. At this moment, their eyes were filled with panic. The situation had developed beyond their expectations.


    They had originally thought that Li Xie would be sucked dry of his Elemental Energy by the boulder, and then die.


    In Li Xie''s hands, a heavy stone was like a small stone in a stream, not even worth mentioning.


    Li Xie took a step forward and looked inside the dried-up well.


    Li Xie frowned. He turned around quickly and glared at Lu Li.


    At this moment, Lu Li laughed coldly. Actually, none of what he had said was true.


    Zhuang He quickly walked to Lu Li''s side. He had already recovered from his panicked state of mind.


    Zhuang He narrowed his eyes as he stared at Li Xie. Even if Li Xie had already settled the boulder, he did not think that Li Xie would be able to leave the Amber Villa alive!


    Little brat, at least you have that little bit of ability! Zhuang He said.


    Quickly hand over the Heavenly Rain Zither, or I will immediately raze Amber Villa to the ground! Li Xie''s face darkened, and roared!


    Heh! Little brat, you talk too much! Zhuang He coldly said.


    Young Master Li, even if I give the Heavenly Rain Zither to Devil Clan or Iron Horse Gang, I will not give it to you! Lu Li said, his mouth twitching.


    Li Xie was so angry that he laughed instead. He had to teach Lu Li and Zhuang He a lesson.


    In the blink of an eye, Li Xie took out his Nine Souls Sword and threw it in Lu Li''s direction like a fierce tiger coming down the mountain.


    Lu Li lightly stepped forward and instantly appeared behind Li Xie. Since Li Xie wanted to make a move, he was naturally willing to accompany him.


    Actually, when Lu Li found out about Li Xie''s identity, he already wanted to take Li Xie''s head off personally.


    He had long heard that Li Xie was known as the young Martial Cultivator with the most talent in Guangxuan City, and his name was extremely famous, but he didn''t think so.


    Today, he wanted to send Li Xie on his way, and then send Li Xie''s corpse back to the Guangxuan City! and then hung in front of the Guangxuan City city gate for three days and three nights!


    Zhuang He''s mouth twitched. He could see endless killing intent in Lu Li''s eyes.


    Even if Li Xie had three heads and six arms, Zhuang He believed that Lu Li had not made a mistake.


    Ah!


    After a roar, Lu Li''s eyes instantly turned red. The Elemental Energy in his body was surging.


    Li Xie stared at Lu Li with the Nine Souls Sword in his hands. He now understood why Lu Li was so calm and composed.


    At this moment, Lu Li''s Martial Cultivator Realm had already reached the upper stage of the Xuan Realm.


    Lu Li felt inexhaustible strength in his whole body, enough to split mountains and flatten rivers.


    In his eyes, Li Xie was just an ant, he could pinch him to death however he wanted to.


    Li Xie, die! In a split-second, Lu Li rushed in front of Li Xie. He summoned a blade in his hand and slashed towards Li Xie''s chest.


    The blade howled, the Elemental Energy roared, killing intent reverberated.


    Li Xie pushed the Nine Souls Sword downwards, immediately stopping Lu Li''s attack.


    Lu Li''s mouth twitched. He did not expect Li Xie to be this calm.


    Lu Li was getting more and more excited, and the Heaven Rain Zither in his body was getting more and more excited.


    Clang!


    Lu Li kept his saber and leapt into the air, slashing towards Li Xie''s head.


    Li Xie raised his Nine Souls Sword and caught the blade that Lu Li swung down. The ground under his feet was cracked.


    Lu Li continuously injected the Elemental Energy into the knife in his hand. The cold light on the blade became even sharper, causing the sunlight to lose its luster.


    Lu Li clenched his teeth. He did not believe that Li Xie could hold on any longer.


    Kill him! Kill him!


    As Zhuang He roared, the other elders of Lu Li and the disciples of the Amber Villa followed suit.


    Lu Li once again put away his saber, taking advantage of the moment to flash behind Li Xie, and swing his saber towards Li Xie''s back, with an irresistible force.


    Clang!


    How is this possible!?


    Lu Li frowned. His full-power attack had actually been blocked by Li Xie.


    What surprised Lu Li even more was that in Li Xie''s eyes, he saw endless fighting intent, enough to destroy the entire Amber Villa.


    Lu Li''s mouth twitched. He held his saber tightly and pushed forward with all his might, attacking ferociously.


    Li Xie retreated step by step as the Nine Souls Sword and the blade in Lu Li''s hands clawed at each other.


    Sun Pei''s palms were already sweating, and at this moment, she was not willing to move her gaze away from Li Xie''s body.


    Lu Li still had the upper hand. He was like an extremely ferocious Strange Beast.


    Lu Li stomped on the ground and jumped into the air, trying his best to swing the saber forward.


    The ground around Li Xie was lifted up by the blade, and dust flew up along with it.


    Lu Li took the opportunity and chopped at Li Xie''s head from the sky again, as if a god had descended to the mortal world!


    Boom!


    Li Xie immediately sunk into the ground, but his face was still brimming with determination.


    Stop struggling! There was no point in struggling! Lu Li earnestly advised.


    Humph! Now it''s my turn! As soon as he said that, Li Xie threw the Nine Souls Sword upwards, and Lu Li and the knife in his hands flew out.


    Just as Lu Li steadied himself, Li Xie had already arrived in front of him with the Nine Souls Sword in her hand.


    The sword light was so dazzling that Lu Li had to raise his arm to cover his eyes.


    "Hiss ¡­" "Hiss ¡­"


    As Li Xie waved the Nine Souls Sword, the Sword Qi fell on Lu Li''s body with all its might. One after another, tearing sounds echoed in the air.


    Lu Li waved the knife in his hand as he quickly took a few steps back.


    When the Sword Qi disappeared, Lu Li looked down and saw that his body was covered in sword marks.


    Lu Li''s face immediately flushed. Once again, he started to drive the Elemental Energy in his body.


    Ah!

 C12

    Lu Li pounced towards Li Xie. The blade in his hand was already on fire, the momentum terrifying.


    Boom!


    The moment the Nine Souls Sword in Li Xie''s hand clashed with Lu Li''s sword, the Amber Villa also shook!


    Bang!


    Lu Li was dumbstruck. The knife in his hand had been turned into ashes! In just an instant!


    Swoosh!


    The Sword Qi flashed by and cut off Lu Li''s Earth Spiritual Martial Pulse in an instant. It was clean and nimble.


    Lu Li staggered back as his face twisted.


    The Heavenly Rain Zither in his body started to run wild, he could no longer control it.


    Lu Li felt as if his heart was being pierced by thousands of arrows as the Heaven Rain Zither charged at him, ready to burst at any moment.


    Bang!


    At that moment, Tian Yuqin rushed out of Lu Li''s body. Lu Li instantly collapsed on the ground, dead.


    Zhuang He turned pale with fright, and then, his entire body trembled as he fainted on the spot.


    Li Xie frowned, it turned out that the Sky Rain Zither was not a real zither, but a black cloud.


    The black cloud was made up of several streams of demonic energy. It was thousands of years old.


    Even though Lu Li thought that he was smart, he was still just one of Black Cloud''s pawns. Seeing that Lu Li had been defeated, Black Cloud personally destroyed him.


    Li Xie jumped up with the Nine Souls Sword in hand and instantly stood on top of the black cloud and pierced the Nine Souls Sword into it.


    Boom ¡­ Boom ¡­


    In the blink of an eye, the Nine Souls Sword had already merged the black cloud into its body.


    After a while, Li Xie and Sun Pei left the Amber Villa. Originally, they wanted to leave the Misty Bamboo Forest as soon as possible, but the Misty Bamboo Forest''s fog was getting thicker and thicker, making it hard for them to move forward.


    As the sky grew darker, Li Xie and Sun Pei could only stay in the Misty Bamboo Forest for the night.


    Li Xie and Sun Pei found an empty space, and started a bonfire.


    The night in the Misty Bamboo Forest was very quiet, and only the sounds of ants moving could be heard.


    Sun Pei turned her face to look at Li Xie, she felt that Li Xie had another identity.


    Now that they had found the Heavenly Stones and Heavenly Rain Zither, they would have the chance to awaken the Ancient Scrolls if they found the other three treasures.


    Sun Pei heaved a long sigh of relief. After coming out for so long, she had gained a lot. Her biggest gain was that she had gotten to know Li Xie.


    At this time, Li Xie removed the Nine Souls Sword from his back, and held it in the palm of his hand.


    This Nine Souls Sword had gone through wind and frost, but it was still so strong.


    Phew...


    The fire inside the bonfire suddenly became more and more lively, as if it wanted Li Xie and Sun Pei to look at it a few more times.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    Just at this moment, a voice came from behind them. Li Xie and Sun Pei turned their heads and looked behind them.


    Bang!


    Suddenly, a hand came out of the blazing flames and grabbed the Nine Souls Sword in Li Xie''s palm.


    This was a thick hand that was burning with flames, ghostly yet powerful.


    Fortunately, Li Xie was able to react in time and immediately raised the Nine Souls Sword backwards, allowing the hand that came out of the flames to return empty-handed.


    Li Xie and Sun Pei stood up and stared at the bonfire in front of them. Within the bonfire, a face slowly surfaced.


    This face was somewhat crude, and his eyes shone brightly within the bonfire.


    Following that, a man walked out from within the bonfire, causing it to be extinguished.


    The man who walked out from the bonfire sized up Li Xie and Sun Pei. He had been waiting for the right moment, but unfortunately, his efforts were in vain.


    Since he couldn''t take any chances, then he was prepared to snatch them all away. He could not allow Li Xie to take the treasures and slip away right under his nose.


    The man that walked out from the bonfire took a few steps back, then cupped his hands and bowed towards Li Xie and Sun Pei.


    Li Xie bowed towards the man who walked out from the bonfire. Presumably, this man was the Fire Clan Martial Cultivator.


    The Fire Clan and the Spirit Race were both mysterious clans with a long history. They both cultivated spirit energy.


    Fire Nation''s Martial Cultivator was able to silently hide within the flames and not be discovered by anyone. This was their innate talent.


    Miss Sun, long time no see! The Fire Clan Martial Cultivator said to Sun Pei with a smile.


    We don''t know each other, so where did it come from? Sun Pei said indifferently.


    Although you don''t know me, I do know you. You are the granddaughter of the Spirit Race''s Patriarch, and your status is very high! The Fire Clan Martial Cultivator said.


    Li Xie glanced at Sun Pei from the corner of her eyes. He was not mistaken, Sun Pei''s status was not low.


    You actually know my identity. Presumably, your position in the Fire Clan is not low. Sun Pei said.


    Yes, my name is Zuo Tang. Last year, I went to your Spirit Race''s tribe in place of the Fire Nation and paid my respects to your clan leader. The Fire Nation Martial Cultivator said as his eyebrows jumped.


    You came for the five treasures that can awaken the ancient scrolls? Sun Pei asked.


    The Fire Nation Martial Cultivator, Zuo Tang, sneered. He didn''t need any words to explain his purpose in coming here.


    In order to obtain those five treasures, he would make his hands covered in blood. Even if it was Sun Pei, or offending the entire Spirit Clan, he would still not show mercy.


    The killing intent in Zuo Tang''s eyes became thicker, causing the Nine Souls Sword in Li Xie''s hands to tremble.


    At this time, Zuo Tang shifted his gaze from Sun Pei''s body and landed on Li Xie''s hands.


    Brat, hurry up and give me the Heavenly Rain Zither you got from the Amber Villa. With just your ability alone, you won''t be able to save the Zither! Zuo Tang advised.


    Li Xie calmly looked at Zuo Tang, he had not exchanged blows with any Fire Nation Martial Cultivator yet, and he was looking forward to it.


    Zuo Tang''s mouth twitched, as though Li Xie would not listen to his advice. Then, he would take advantage of the night to send Li Xie on his way.


    Li Xie gave Sun Pei a glance, and Sun Pei tacitly retreated to the side.


    Li Xie retracted his gaze, and once again landed on Zuo Tang''s body.


    Since it was a long night and Zuo Tang had already made his move, he was willing to accompany him.


    Boy, I promise you that you will regret it soon! As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Tang took out his fire knife and held it tightly in his hand.


    The Fire Lingyun Saber was a unique weapon of the Fire Clan. It was made up of flames, and it was incomparably vicious.


    Zuo Tang pounced towards Li Xie, and at this moment, the blood in his body was boiling.


    Slash after slash descended, Li Xie''s footsteps became a little messy, all of these were noticed by Zuo Tang.


    Even so, Zuo Tang understood that Li Xie had not used his full strength yet.


    The corner of Zuo Tang''s mouth twitched. The speed at which he brandished his saber became faster and faster. The edge of his blade was roaring.


    Zuo Tang was confident that even if Li Xie used all his strength, he was confident that he could take Li Xie''s head off with his own hands tonight.


    As the spirit energy within Zuo Tang''s body continued to condense and dissipate, he began to unleash a tremendous amount of force with each stroke.


    Li Xie poured the Elemental Energy s into the Nine Souls Sword s. The of the Nine Souls Sword met the blade edge first.


    Zuo Tang held onto the handle of the Fire Ling Blade with both of his hands and swung it forward. Li Xie''s feet slightly rose into the air and the bamboo behind him was smashed down by the blade.


    The corner of Zuo Tang''s mouth twitched, and he suddenly jumped up with a flaming saber in his hand.


    Clang!


    When the Fire Ling Blade and the Nine Souls Sword collided, it immediately caused lightning to flash and thunder to roar.


    Zuo Tang stared intently at Li Xie''s eyes, both he and Li Xie were filled with fighting spirit.


    Kid, quickly kowtow and beg for mercy. I know you are exhausted! roared Zuo Tang.


    Heh, you are purposely provoking me with words! Li Xie replied with a smile.


    Yo, looks like I have to use my full strength. I don''t have time to waste on you, you don''t deserve it either! Zuo Tang said coldly.

 C13

    In the blink of an eye, Zuo Tang''s figure appeared in the sky above Li Xie, like a hawk spreading its wings.


    At this moment, the Rising Flaming Blade in Zuo Tang''s hand had already turned into a blazing flame!


    As long as Zuo Tang wanted to, he could burn the entire Misty Bamboo Forest to ashes in an instant.


    And right now, the thing he wanted to do the most was to send Li Xie to see Yama King. He had heard that Yama was very lonely and lacking someone to talk to.


    Die! With a roar, Zuo Tang threw himself towards Li Xie with his fire blade.


    Something that had greatly shocked Zuo Tang happened. Not only did Li Xie not avoid it, he welcomed it with quick steps.


    The corner of Zuo Tang''s mouth twitched, and his face instantly turned incomparably hideous.


    Zuo Tang thought to himself, Li Xie actually wanted to block the car with his bare hands, he''s really young and arrogant!


    Boom!


    Flames flew in all directions, lighting up the entire Misty Bamboo Forest.


    Zuo Tang''s eyebrows gradually knitted together, because Li Xie was actually still alive.


    He had never failed in his Soaring Sky blade attack, but he had failed this time.


    Zuo Tang was burning with anger as he continuously slashed at Li Xie''s vitals with his blade.


    The Fire Rising Saber was like a fierce Strange Beast, opening its mouth wide to bite.


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth rose. Obviously, Zuo Tang had already lost and everything was in chaos.


    Swoosh!


    In the blink of an eye, Li Xie held onto the Nine Souls Sword''s sword hilt with both of his hands, and quickly swung it.


    Zuo Tang turned pale with fright. He immediately raised his Fire Rising Saber in front of him to protect himself.


    However, the Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi was approaching in full fury. Zuo Tang''s hand, which was holding onto the Fire Ling Blade, was already trembling, and it was getting harder and harder to wield the Fire Ling Blade.


    As Zuo Tang brandished his Fire Rising Saber, he retreated quickly. At this moment, his forehead was covered in sweat.


    In the left hall, he could only hear the roars of the Sword Qi.


    Hiss, hiss, hiss ¡­


    Streams of Sword Qi landed on Zuo Tang''s body, and sword scars gradually covered his entire body.


    Boom!


    Li Xie jumped down with the Nine Souls Sword in his hand, fast as lightning, and immediately cut off the fire blade in Zuo Tang''s hands.


    Zuo Tang staggered back, already exhausted.


    Zuo Tang steadied his feet and gasped for breath, his legs shaking.


    He extended his gaze forward to look at Li Xie. Li Xie had already won, but he could not see any joy on his face.


    Li Xie walked towards the left hall step by step, his face becoming more and more gloomy.


    Zuo Tang backed off tremblingly. He could already smell the scent of death. He had thought that he would never be able to taste it again.


    Zuo Tang gritted his teeth and turned into a ball of fire with a shake of his body.


    Haha! You brat actually wanted to kill me, but it''s a pity that you''re still too young. I don''t believe that the sword in your hand can extinguish my flames! Zuo Tang''s voice sounded beside Li Xie''s ears.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows. If it was any other weapon, it would be difficult to destroy the fire turned into by the Fire Clan Martial Cultivator.


    However, he was different. There was a Purple Light True Fire within his body that was sufficient to burn down everything.


    Kid, hurry up and leave. Don''t waste your time here! We''ll meet again in the future!


    I''m sorry, I can''t do as you wish! Right after he finished speaking, Li Xie raised the Nine Souls Sword and slashed down towards the flames transformed into Zuo Tang!


    Yo, you brat, you''re really stupid ¡­ Ah ¡­


    Before Zuo Tang could finish his words, the fire he turned into had already been extinguished!


    Li Xie threw the Nine Souls Sword upwards, and it entered the sword sheath on his back.


    After continuously fighting with Lu Li and Zuo Tang, the Elemental Energy in his body started to surge.


    Li Xie raised his hands up high, feeling refreshed.


    The moonlight gently scattered onto Li Xie''s body and the wind blew in from all directions. It was as if they were at the peak of a mountain that reached into the clouds.


    In an instant, the refreshing feeling disappeared, followed by a dry and hot body.


    Boom!


    Li Xie clenched his fists tightly, the cultivation realm of his Martial Cultivator had already exploded forth to the lower level of the origin realm.


    No matter if it was his arm strength or his hearing ability, his eyesight had all improved by quite a bit.


    Li Xie was like a ray of starlight shining in the Misty Bamboo Forest.


    Li Xie breathed freely, the hot feeling disappearing.


    When Li Xie turned to look at Sun Pei, he saw that Sun Pei was already standing beside him.


    Seeing Sun Pei''s clear eyes, Li Xie couldn''t help but smile.


    Several hours later, Li Xie and Sun Pei had already arrived at the entrance of the Forgotten Tribe.


    At the entrance of Forgotten Tribe stood a huge rock with the words Forgotten Tribe carved on it.


    Li Xie looked towards the Forgotten Tribe. The Forgotten Tribe was one of the many tribes with a history of over a thousand years.


    When Li Xie and Sun Pei walked out of the Misty Bamboo Forest, Yao''er appeared and told them that the ten thousand year old Turtle Body was in the Forgotten Tribe.


    Thus, Li Xie and Sun Pei rushed over to the Forgotten Tribe without stopping.


    Strands of spiritual energy swirled above the Forgotten Tribe, and other than these strands of spiritual energy, there were also cranes flying back and forth in the air.


    A lively voice came out from the Forgotten Tribe. Li Xie and Sun Pei unconsciously quickened their steps and stepped into the Forgotten Tribe.


    Although Sun Pei was a spirit race woman, she was unfamiliar with the Forgotten Tribe.


    The Forgotten Tribe''s status in the Spirit Race wasn''t low, and the West Wind Family of the Forgotten Tribe was the second largest clan in the Spirit Race.


    Walking on the narrow and crowded streets of the Forgotten Tribe, Li Xie looked around.


    He was just like Sun Pei, who knew very little about the Forgotten Tribe.


    The Spirit Race was a warrior race, Martial Cultivator with swords or sabers tied to their bodies could be seen everywhere on the streets of Forgotten Tribe.


    Once upon a time, the Spirit Race was the most powerful race within the Wind Execution Continent.


    Even though the Spirit Race had fallen, their foundation was still very deep.


    Li Xie turned his face and looked at Sun Pei. Sun Pei''s face was currently brimming with a smile, coming to the Forgotten Tribe was like returning home.


    At this time, a fragrant smell entered Li Xie''s nose, causing him to stop in his tracks. He turned to the side and saw that there was a noodle house by the side.


    Just then, Li Xie remembered that his stomach was empty, so he quickly walked towards the noodle house with Sun Pei following closely behind.


    The business of the noodle store was not bad, and there were just two empty seats left for Li Xie and Sun Pei.


    The waiter of the noodle shop walked over with a smiling face, and then Li Xie ordered two bowls of the noodle store''s signboard.


    The waiter of the noodle shop indicated for Li Xie to wait for a moment, then he turned around and continued.


    Get out of the way! Get out of my way! Don''t block the way!


    Li Xie and Sun Pei turned to look and saw a burly young Martial Cultivator riding on the back of a Three-eyed Wolf and walking arrogantly.


    The burly and burly young Martial Cultivator carried a large blade on his shoulder, looking extremely arrogant.


    A group of guards followed closely behind him, clearing the way for him.


    Li Xie shook his head, this was the first time he saw such a popular person.


    Presumably, his status in the Forgotten Tribe was extraordinary and no one dared to provoke him.


    Wow! The young master of our West Wind Family is truly powerful and extraordinary!


    That''s right! The future of our Forgotten Tribe depends on him!


    Cough, I have to think of a way to become friends with Young Noble Xifeng!


    Come on, with your morals, you don''t even deserve to be carrying Young Master Xifeng''s shoes!


    Sun Pei frowned, she did not expect the Young Master of the West Wind Family to be in such a state, there was actually a group of people flattering her.

 C14

    Initially, she was still looking forward to getting to know the Young Master of the Xifeng Clan. However, at this moment, she had already given up on this idea. In fact, she was even a bit disgusted with him.


    When the burly young Martial Cultivator walked past the noodle house, he took a glance inside and coincidentally saw Li Xie.


    The burly young Martial Cultivator''s mouth twitched and asked the three-eyed wolf to stop.


    No one had ever dared to look at him like that before. He was angry, and he wanted to give Li Xie a painful lesson.


    The burly young Martial Cultivator jumped down from the back of the three-eyed wolf. After stabilizing his footsteps, he rushed into the noodle shop with big steps and an imposing manner that shot through the sky.


    The owner of the noodle store was just about to step forward and greet the burly young Martial Cultivator when the young Martial Cultivator glared at him, causing him to tremble in fear.


    The young Martial Cultivator slowly walked to Li Xie''s side and narrowed his eyes.


    Li Xie shot a glance at the young Martial Cultivator, but he did not see the fury in the young Martial Cultivator''s eyes.


    The young Martial Cultivator''s face flushed red, he placed the blade in his hand on the table in front of Li Xie.


    Stinking brat, what kind of attitude is this!? Hurry up and kowtow and apologize to Young Noble Xifeng!


    Smelly brat, are you itchy? You want to get beaten up?


    Young Master Xi Feng, please calm your anger!


    The young Martial Cultivator''s mouth twitched. This was his territory.


    He could tell that Li Xie had just arrived at Forgotten Tribe. He felt that it was necessary to let Li Xie learn some of the Forgotten Clan''s rules and even leave a deep impression on him.


    Xi Feng Da patted Li Xie''s shoulder. He was testing Li Xie''s cultivation realm, and then he laughed.


    As he expected, Li Xie''s Martial Cultivator cultivation was low, and his strength was not as good as his.


    West Wind Da glanced at Sun Pei, who was seated beside Li Xie, and her expression eased up a little.


    Very quickly, Xi Feng Da retracted his gaze and looked at Li Xie. Compared to before, his eyes were even more vicious.


    Stinking brat, you have quite the guts! Xifeng Da coldly said.


    May I know who you are? Li Xie stood up and looked at Xifeng Da and asked.


    Humph! You better listen up, my name is Xifeng Da, no matter who comes to the Forgotten Tribe, they must bow down and kneel down before me! Xifeng Da said.


    In the noodle store, regardless of whether it was the owner or the commoners, they all felt a deep veneration for Xifeng Da''s words!


    "Oh..." So you are the Young Noble of the Xifeng Family, Xifeng Da! Li Xie raised his eyebrows and said.


    It''s too late, even if you kowtow to me and beg for mercy, I still won''t let you leave the Forgotten Tribe. Xifeng Da said with an ice-cold tone.


    Xifeng Da''s aura was very strong, like a fierce tiger descending a mountain. If it was anyone else, they would have already been trembling in fear.


    But Li Xie was as calm as ever, he quietly looked at West Wind Da.


    Xi Feng Da Hu glared. He did not think that Li Xie could still hold on.


    Girl, he should be your friend, right? Is there something wrong with his head? Xi Feng Da turned his face to look at Sun Pei and asked.


    Sun Pei did not bother with West Wind Da, at this moment, she did not want to exchange a single word with West Wind Da.


    Since Sun Pei ignored him, he could only vent all the anger in his heart onto Li Xie!


    Hiss!


    Xi Feng Da pulled out his big blade and held it against Li Xie''s neck. The blade was emitting a cold light and his eyes were filled with killing intent.


    Young Master Xi Feng, I am a guest of your Forgotten Clan. Have you always been this fierce towards your guests? Li Xie said.


    Hehe, not all cats and dogs can become guests of our Forgotten Tribe, so you belong to them! Xi Feng Da said with a smile.


    Young Noble Xi Feng, please give the order for me to take action so that your hands won''t get dirty!


    Get lost! Let me do it!


    The corner of Xifeng''s mouth twitched. This group of people who wanted to curry favor with him had already started to get agitated, but unfortunately, he still could not see any panic in Li Xie''s eyes.


    Since that was the case, Xifeng Da had decided to do it himself!


    Die! Xi Feng Da roared out, and took the opportunity to slice towards Li Xie''s head.


    Li Xie leaped up, and instantly opened up a distance between him and Xinfan.


    At this moment, Xifeng Da was like a ferocious beast, his eyes completely red!


    Li Xie unsheathed the Nine Souls Sword from its scabbard on his back. He could no longer tolerate it.


    Originally, Li Xie came to the Forgotten Tribe for the Ten Thousand Year Turtle. He did not want to make trouble with the West Wind Family, but at this moment, he had already given up on this idea.


    Since Xifeng Da was so aggressive and wanted to kill him, he was willing to accompany him.


    Humph! Brat, you want to fight me? You don''t even know what you''re worth? Xi Feng Da''s mouth twitched as he said.


    Do you know what you are capable of? Li Xie asked.


    Ah! Waving his blade, Xifeng Da rushed towards Li Xie.


    In a split-second, the surrounding people of the Forgotten Tribe all retreated to one side.


    Once Xifeng Da''s eyes were red, it was very likely that he would hurt the innocent, so the people of Forgotten Tribe all had their own plans.


    Slash after slash was released violently, and all the tables and stools in the noodle shop were broken into pieces! It was completely unrecognizable!


    Xifeng Da''s eyes were already narrowed into a line, but he was still unable to stop the killing intent in his eyes, and unrestrainedly released outwards.


    Xifeng Da channeled all of the spiritual energy in his body, using all of his strength with every swing of his blade.


    As he drew closer, the sound of the howling of the blades filled the air.


    Xi Feng Da was extremely excited, in his eyes, Li Xie was already a corpse.


    Li Xie brandished the Nine Souls Sword, although it looked like he was exhausted from the battle, he was actually as steady as Mt.


    Although West Wind Da''s Martial Cultivator realm was higher than his, he was too reckless and kept charging forward without holding back.


    Even though Xifeng Da waved his blade around as fast as lightning and had full strength, Li Xie''s gaze on him was surprisingly slow.


    Li Xie could feel that Xi Feng had used up too much spirit energy, and his steps had become heavier.


    Xifeng Da''s mouth twitched. He decided to end the battle quickly, so he brandished the large blade in his hand even more ferociously.


    With a tap of his feet, West Wind Da rose into the air and swung his blade towards Li Xie''s head.


    Clang!


    Xi Feng Da frowned, Li Xie was actually able to resist the large blade in his hand.


    Xi Feng Da clenched his teeth, and instantly retracted his large blade. The moment his heel landed, he swung his blade again, aiming at Li Xie''s chest with unstoppable force.


    Li Xie grasped his Nine Souls Sword and swung it forward, immediately causing Xi Feng Da''s attack to stop.


    Xi Feng Da glared, he threw the big blade in his hand up into the sky, then immediately brandished his right hand to call out a blade that was slashing towards Li Xie''s chest.


    At the same time, the big blade fell from the sky, cooperating with Xi Feng Da to attack Li Xie from head to toe.


    Xi Feng Da laughed coldly. He had once used this move to kill dozens of Strange Beast.


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth raised, and he took the opportunity to flash behind West Wind Da, raising his leg to kick him. West Wind Da was caught off guard and directly flew out.


    Plop ¡­


    Xi Feng Da pushed himself off the ground with his hands and instantly stood up as he glared at Li Xie.


    Xi Feng Da looked at the big blade on the ground, which returned to his hand, he once again rushed towards Li Xie.


    Bang!


    Li Xie dropped from the sky with the Nine Souls Sword in his hand, slicing the blade in Xi Feng Da''s hand.


    Xifeng Da could not control his body and staggered out once again.

 C15

    Just as Western Wind Da was about to stand up, Li Xie had already appeared beside him and stepped on his chest.


    Young Master Xi Feng, am I qualified to be your Forgotten Tribe''s guest now? Li Xie asked.


    Xifeng Da remained silent as he coldly raised his head to look at Li Xie.


    After Li Xie put away the Nine Souls Sword, he pulled him up. The movement was completed in one go and there was no hesitation at all.


    Xi Feng Da looked at Li Xie''s eyes. At this moment, Li Xie''s eyes were calm.


    Young Noble Xi Feng, this time, I came to the Forgotten Tribe to discuss something important with Patriarch Xi Feng. Li Xie cupped his hands and said to Xi Feng Da.


    After a while, Li Xie and Sun Pei were in the living room of the West Wind Residence.


    Western Wind Patriarch Xifeng Lei enthusiastically cupped his fists and bowed towards Li Xie and Sun Pei. They had not had guests from the Forgotten Tribe for a long time, especially these two young people.


    Compared to Xifeng Da, Xifeng Lei was an old cunning fox. With a single glance, he could tell that the purpose of Li Xie and his group''s trip was definitely related to that rumor.


    Xifeng Da indignantly stood beside Xifeng Lei''s side. He was already well aware of what happened in the noodle store just now.


    Li Xie and Sun Pei cupped their fists and bowed towards Xi Feng Lei. Xi Feng Lei was not as domineering as Xi Feng Da.


    West Wind Thunder was not only the Patriarch of the West Wind Family, he was also the leader of the Forgotten Tribe.


    Miss Sun, you should be from the Spirit Race like us, right? Xifeng Lei looked at Sun Pei and asked kindly.


    After Xi Feng Da heard what Xi Feng Lei said, he opened his eyes wide. Back at the noodle house, he did not realise that Sun Pei was a Spirit Race woman.


    No wonder her temperament was so unique.


    Mm, Western Wind Patriarch, you''re right. Sun Pei nodded and replied.


    Since you are also of the Spirit Race, then we are on the same side. Xifeng Lei said with a smile.


    Even though the Patriarch was very courteous and his words were very pleasant to hear, Sun Pei''s impression of the West Wind Family was very hard to change.


    Patriarch Xi Feng, I and I have come to Forgotten Tribe to find a treasure. Sun Pei said. Like Li Xie, she did not like to beat around the bush.


    Which treasure? Xifeng Lei stroked his long beard, showing a very curious look.


    Ten Thousand Year Turtle! Sun Pei said.


    Xifeng Da furrowed his brows. He had already lived in Forgotten Tribe for more than twenty years, but he had never heard of Forgotten Tribe having a ten-thousand-year turtle.


    Xifeng Da looked sideways at his Master Xifeng Lei, he felt that his father, who had seen a lot, would know.


    So you came here for the Myriad Turtle. The Myriad Turtle is the one and only spirit beast in our Forgotten Tribe. Xifeng Lei said.


    Li Xie and Sun Pei looked at each other for a moment, then got hit by Long''er''s words again.


    Where in the Forgotten Tribe was the Ten Thousand Year Old Turtle? Li Xie asked.


    I haven''t personally seen the Myriad Tortoise. I have only heard the elders from the Forgotten Tribe mention that the Myriad Tortoise lives on the north side of the experiential learning mountain. Xifeng Lei slowly said.


    Xifeng Da''s brows twitched as a hint of a smile flashed across his face.


    He had lived in the Forgotten Tribe for so many years, so he knew that the experiential learning peak was a good place.


    The experiential learning peak? I heard that it''s the place with the most ferocious Strange Beast in the entire Forgotten Tribe! Sun Pei said as she looked at Li Xie.


    Yes, Miss Sun, you are right, so I advise you not to take the risk. Xifeng Lei frowned and said.


    Miss Sun, you can stay at the West Wind Residence. I will be back soon! Li Xie gazed at Sun Pei and said with a resolute and decisive tone.


    Sun Pei really wanted to go with Li Xie to the Refinement Peak, but seeing the resolution in Li Xie''s eyes, she felt that there was no need to open her mouth at all.


    When Li Xie and Sun Pei walked out of West Wind Hall, West Wind Da immediately bowed towards his father.


    The old saying was still true, and Xifeng had already experienced it for himself.


    Father, what a wonderful move! Xifeng Da praised.


    Oh, how? Xifeng Lei stroked his long beard and asked.


    Father, although I don''t know where the ten thousand year turtle''s body is, I can be sure that it definitely won''t be at the experiential learning peak. Xifeng Da said.


    Although his precious son, Xifeng Lei, was reckless, he was definitely not a fool.


    The Practical Peak was only a grave that had been meticulously selected for Li Xie by his father. Xifeng Lei said ruthlessly.


    Mn, that brat Li Xie must die! Xifeng Da''s mouth twitched as he said.


    As long as he could not descend the mountain before nightfall, even if the Strange Beast on the experiential learning peak did not eat him, the cold energy on the peak would still make him unable to return! Xifeng Lei said.


    West Wind Da laughed coldly. As long as night fell on the experiential learning peak, even the thick-skinned Strange Beast would have to hide. It could be seen that the cold air was even more vicious than them.


    An hour later, Li Xie had already reached the training peak with the Nine Souls Sword in hand.


    Li Xie looked around, the forest on the event peak was densely packed.


    The air was filled with an aura of beasts, so it was very possible that there were Strange Beast watching him from the side.


    If he could only wait for an opportunity, these Strange Beast would surge towards him like hungry tigers pouncing for food.


    Even so, Li Xie did not plan to go down the mountain. Instead, he quickened his pace.


    The range of the experiential learning peak was very large. It was shrouded in clouds and mist, and no one knew where the 10,000 Year Tortoise would appear at.


    After passing through a small mountain, what appeared in front of Li Xie was a flat piece of land.


    The Nine Souls Sword in his hand did not move at all, which made him feel even more uneasy.


    Li Xie continued to walk forwards with large strides. It was only when he smelled a trace of the smell of flames did he stop in his tracks.


    It was June now, and June was when the Strange Beast were exceptionally active.


    Furthermore, in a place like the experiential learning peak, where there were a lot of vicious Strange Beast, there was usually no one who would come to train.


    When he had ascended the mountain peak earlier, Li Xie had not met any of the other Martial Cultivator s, nor had he seen any footprints.


    Then was it a person in front of them or was it a Devil Clan? Li Xie could not help but quicken his pace.


    Not far in front of him, under a towering tree, a man dressed in tattered clothes was currently roasting food.


    When Li Xie stood by his side, he merely glanced at Li Xie.


    Gulp ¡­ Gulp ¡­


    The man in tattered clothes ate heartily. When Li Xie saw this, he immediately felt empty in his stomach.


    Young man, are you hungry? The man in tattered clothes raised his head and looked at Li Xie.


    Not hungry! Li Xie said calmly.


    Hey! If you''re not hungry, then so be it. I don''t have enough for myself anyway! I''m not planning on giving you any points! The man in tattered clothes said as the corners of his mouth lifted.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows, he walked forward a few steps and then took the chance to lean under the enormous tree.


    Senior, you came here to gain experience? Li Xie asked with interest.


    I have the same goal as you. Right after he finished speaking, the man dressed in tattered clothes shot a glance at Li Xie.


    Li Xie gasped, the eyes of the man in tattered clothes were cold.


    Senior, can you speak frankly? Li Xie said solemnly.

 C16

    The man in tattered clothes threw the food in his hand to the side, then took the chance to pat Li Xie on the shoulder.


    The man in tattered clothes grew calmer and calmer, just like the moonlight at night.


    Just then, the man in tattered clothes opened his big mouth and bit towards Li Xie''s neck!


    In a split-second, Li Xie pushed away the man with tattered clothes with his elbow and took the chance to take a few steps back.


    The man in tattered clothes steadied his pace and stared at Li Xie fiercely, like a wolf staring at a lamb.


    The man in tattered clothes was extremely upset. Just now, he was just a hair away from biting Li Xie into two, and then, he carefully savored it.


    Li Xie frowned, he could smell the beast Qi emitted from the man''s body.


    Furthermore, it was an extremely strong wave of beast aura. The Nine Souls Sword in Li Xie''s hand had already trembled a few times.


    Ang!


    After a furious roar, the man in tattered clothes became a Six Tailed Mountain Cat! It revealed its ferocious face and body!


    Looking at the entire experiential learning peak, the Six Tailed Mountain Cat was the most ferocious Strange Beast!


    The Six Tailed Mountain Cat had six tails, a physique as strong as that of a tiger. Its mouth was full of fangs, and its four limbs had extremely sharp claws.


    Every time the Six Tailed Mountain Cat took a step, the ground would shake as well.


    The beast power within the body of the Six Tailed Mountain Cat was extremely dense, enough to flatten the entire experiential learning peak.


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth rose. Since he had run into the Six Tailed Mountain Cat, he could only face the adversity.


    As long as he killed the Six Tailed Mountain Cat, he would be able to obtain a lot of beast power. In time, the beast power would transform into a Elemental Energy, which would help him increase his cultivation level in Martial Cultivator.


    The Six Tailed Mountain Cat bared its fangs and laughed, as it saw through Li Xie''s thoughts.


    In its many years of roaming the mountain, it had never encountered a person who didn''t flee in a hurry after coming into contact with it. It was truly very interesting.


    Smelly brat, your talent is not bad, you actually have the Heaven Spiritual Martial Force! The Six Tailed Mountain Cat glared at Li Xie and said.


    What? Are you trying to swallow me whole? Li Xie said calmly.


    That''s right, I''ve been eating other weak Strange Beast recently, eating too much is really a bit unappetizing, I coincidentally bumped into you! It was time to eat something good! The Six Tailed Mountain Cat said coldly.


    Li Xie clenched the Nine Souls Sword in his hand tightly, and it trembled a few times. The Nine Souls Sword was as excited as he was.


    Ang!


    The Six Tailed Mountain Cat pounced towards Li Xie, waving its six tails, like a sword thrusting towards Li Xie''s heart.


    Li Xie made the Nine Souls Sword so dense that even the wind couldn''t pass through, but the Six Tailed Mountain Cat''s tail strike still caused his body to be covered in wounds.


    The Six Tailed lynx continued to use its beast power, releasing it as much energy as it could.


    "Hiss ¡­" "Hiss ¡­"


    Under the attack of the Six Tailed Mountain Cat, the trees around Li Xie all bent down.


    Li Xie''s hand that was waving the Nine Souls Sword around was already numb, but he was not depressed at all.


    The Six Tailed Mountain Cat leaped up, and like a black cloud, it descended towards Li Xie.


    As long as Li Xie did not dodge in time, he would immediately be crushed into pieces.


    Li Xie did not choose to avoid it. Instead, he jumped up with the Nine Souls Sword in his hand as the Sword Qi whistled in the air.


    The Six Tailed Mountain Cat''s attack was extremely ferocious, Li Xie would make his attack even more ferocious!


    "Whiz!"


    The Six Tailed Mountain Cat waved its six tails and tightly tied up the Nine Souls Sword that was swung at Li Xie. It took the chance and snatched it away from Li Xie''s hands.


    Crack ¡­ Crack ¡­


    The Six Tailed Mountain Cat swallowed the Nine Souls Sword into its stomach as if it was eager to savor the delicacies inside.


    Li Xie clenched his fists and took the chance to jump up and land on the back of the Six Tailed Mountain Cat, then he swung his fist like water on the back of the Six Tailed Mountain Cat.


    The Six Tailed Mountain Cat tried to shake Li Xie off.


    But it was as if Li Xie grew up on the back of the Six Tailed Mountain Cat. No matter how the Six Tailed Mountain Cat moved up and down, swaying left and right, he was as steady as Mt.


    Stinking brat! Get down here right now!


    Sorry, I won''t listen to you!


    Ah!


    The Six Tailed Mountain Cat roared angrily as it waved its six tails and pounced towards Li Xie.


    "Whiz!"


    In the blink of an eye, the Six Tailed Mountain Cat''s six tails had tightly bound Li Xie!


    Ha! You won''t be able to escape!


    Under the signal of the Six Tailed Mountain Cat, Li Xie''s six tails tightened and tightened.


    In a short while, the six tails of the Six Tailed Mountain Cat could already cause Li Xie to suffocate to death.


    The Six Tailed Mountain Cat was extremely excited, it began to shake its head, and waited for Li Xie to die, and then it swallowed Li Xie whole.


    At this critical moment, the Purple Radiant Primordial Fire in Li Xie''s body opened its eyes!


    Break!


    Boom!


    In the blink of an eye, the six tails that bound Li Xie completely disintegrated!


    The Six Tailed Mountain Cat gritted its teeth in pain as it swiped its sharp claws at Li Xie.


    Bang!


    Li Xie raised his fist and struck the Six Tails Mountain Cat in the face, causing it to fly out.


    After it landed, the Six Tailed Mountain Cat flipped over and stood up again. It opened its bloody mouth wide and quickly pounced towards Li Xie.


    Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!


    The Six Tailed lynx waved its claws towards Li Xie like a violent storm, its momentum overflowing!


    Li Xie retreated step by step, and gradually arrived at the edge of the precipice of the Refinement Peak, while the wind beside his ears roared.


    The Six Tailed Mountain Cat stopped in its tracks and bared its fangs as it laughed. It seemed to have already seen Li Xie''s bloodied body.


    Smelly brat, hurry up and come over. I will move faster and not cause you any pain! The Six Tailed Mountain Cat roared.


    Humph! I should be the one to say that! The corner of Li Xie''s mouth twitched, and he continued to say: Nine Souls Sword, time to act!


    Boom!


    The Nine Souls Sword penetrated the Six Tailed Mountain Cat''s chest and returned to Li Xie''s hands in a flash.


    The powerful aura emanating from the body of the Six Tailed Mountain Cat disappeared. Its body began to sway, and a gust of wind was enough to topple it.


    Li Xie held onto the Nine Souls Sword, he could hear the Elemental Energy''s roars coming from his body.


    Bang!


    The huge body of the Six Tailed Mountain Cat crashed onto the ground like a withered tree that reached the sky.


    Li Xie held the Nine Souls Sword and quickly walked to the side of the Six Tailed Mountain Cat, only to see it slowly close its eyes.


    Don''t worry, I won''t kill you. My goal in coming here is the Myriad Turtle! Li Xie said as he put away the Nine Souls Sword.


    At this time, the Six Tailed Mountain Cat opened its eyes weakly and looked at Li Xie.


    Young man, are you joking with me? I''ve lived on the experiential learning peak for so many years, but I never knew that there was a 10,000 year turtle on the experiential learning peak. The Six Tailed Mountain Cat said.


    Hm? Could it be that Xifeng Lei was lying?! Li Xie said with a gloomy face.


    In all likelihood, he was the one who lied to you. That old fogey Xifeng Lei isn''t some good stuff! The Six Tailed Mountain Cat said.


    If the 10,000 Year Turtle wasn''t at the experiential learning peak, where would it be? Li Xie frowned.


    Since you are willing to leave me with a path to live, I will give you a clear path. The ten-thousand-year turtle should be at Hanxue Peak, which is a good place where the spiritual energy and beast power can meet, and the other side of the experiential learning peak is Hanyue Peak. The Six Tailed Mountain Cat said.


    Thank you for your guidance, senior! With that said, Li Xie turned and threw the Nine Souls Sword outside, and then jumped onto it.


    The Nine Souls Sword carried Li Xie through the layers of cold air as they arrived at Freezing Moon Peak. After landing on the ground, Li Xie raised his head and looked at the sky;

 C17

    He had to find the Myriad Spirit Turtle before nightfall. The increasingly cold air around him had already explained everything.


    Li Xie looked around. The range of the cold moon peak was even wider than the experiential learning peak.


    Compared to the experiential learning peak, the Cold Moon Peak was much quieter.


    Li Xie continued to stride forward with the Nine Souls Sword in hand. He did not have much time left.


    Right at this moment, Li Xie felt something land on his shoulder. He stopped in his tracks to look at it.


    Why would a dragonfly appear here? It must have been Sun Pei''s idea.


    Even if Sun Pei was unable to accompany her to climb the Refinement Peak, she would do everything she could to help Li Xie.


    If not for Sun Pei, it would definitely not have ascended the mountain with Li Xie and suffered greatly from the cold air.


    The dragonfly flapped its wings, emitting traces of spirit energy as it flew to all four directions of the Cold Moon Peak.


    A moment later, the floating spiritual energy returned to the body of the dragonfly.


    The dragonfly landed on Li Xie''s shoulder again and flapped its wings at Li Xie.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows, he moved his ear closer to Long''er and listened quietly.


    After listening to what Yao''er said, Li Xie''s eyes instantly lit up. He knew where the Ten Thousand Year Turtle was.


    When Li Xie came back to his senses, the dragonfly disappeared once again.


    Dragoneers were a thousand year old spirit beast. They were rare and elusive.


    Li Xie held the Nine Souls Sword and strode forward. Half an hour later, Li Xie arrived at the place where the Frigid Moon Peak''s beast energy and spirit energy met.


    There was a stalk of grass growing here. It was a very special plant, with multicolored leaves growing on it.


    Under the faint moonlight, this grass with colorful leaves was extremely dazzling. It was unwilling to shift its gaze away just by looking at it.


    This grass was the 10,000 Year Turtle Grass. Even the West Wind Thunder did not know that the 10,000 Year Turtle was actually a stalk of grass.


    The Ten Thousand Year Turtle Grass was surrounded by spirit energy and beast power, making it impossible for an ordinary person to even get close to it.


    Li Xie held the Nine Souls Sword tightly, and took the opportunity to pour the Elemental Energy into it.


    Swoosh!


    The Sword Qi whistled out, and the beast power and spirit power surrounding the Myriad Miles Turtle spread outwards in all directions, as if pushing away clouds and mist to see the clear sky.


    Li Xie crouched down and uprooted the Myriad Dragon Turtle, then placed it into the Nine Souls Sword s.


    Li Xie heaved a long sigh of relief. He had to leave Hanyue Peak as soon as possible, as the cold aura around Hanyue Peak was getting heavier and heavier.


    At the foot of the training peak, Sun Pei was waiting for Li Xie''s return.


    West Wind Da was standing beside Sun Pei. From his point of view, all of Sun Pei''s wait would be in vain.


    At this moment, night had already fallen. The training peak was filled with cold air and even Li Xie who had the [Copper Wall] s would not be able to withstand it.


    He felt that it was a great pity, because he could not personally witness the miserable state Li Xie was in when he died.


    If possible, Xifeng Da still wanted to grind Li Xie''s bones and scatter his ashes, only then would he be able to relieve the hatred in his heart.


    Since Li Xie had humiliated him in front of so many people, the hatred Xifeng had towards Li Xie had already penetrated deep into his marrow.


    Miss Sun, don''t wait, Li Xie is already not coming back! Xifeng Da said.


    No, he will come back! Sun Pei coldly looked at West Wind Da and said.


    Miss Sun, why are you doing this? Li Xie was already a dead man! Xifeng Da said.


    Sun Pei did not bother with Xi Feng Da anymore as she stared at the training peak.


    He felt that Sun Pei was too stupid, to actually believe that Li Xie could return alive.


    Brother Li!


    Xi Feng Da''s complacent smile suddenly stopped, he followed Sun Pei''s line of sight and looked, it was actually Li Xie who stood on a sword, and came back.


    That''s impossible!


    Xi Feng Da''s face was ashen, he could not believe that Li Xie had returned alive, but this was the truth.


    A place like the Practical Mountain would definitely be able to kill Li Xie forty to fifty times over!


    Xifeng Da clenched his fists. His facial features had already been pinched together.


    After a moment, Li Xie''s heels firmly landed on the ground, and the Nine Souls Sword returned to his hands.


    Li Xie glanced at Xi Feng Da, who immediately turned around and avoided Li Xie''s gaze.


    Xi Feng Da could feel the rage that was being emitted from Li Xie''s eyes. He must have already known that the event was a trap.


    Xifeng Da''s entire body was trembling. He wanted to control it but couldn''t.


    Li Xie sprung up with a leap, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Xi Feng Da.


    Xifeng Da''s legs went soft and he fell to the ground. His eyes were filled with fear.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    The Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi flashed past, and the Martial Vein on Xi Feng Da''s right wrist was instantly severed, fresh blood flowed out and dyed the ground red!


    Ah ¡­


    Following a scream that reverberated in the air, Xifeng Da had already fainted.


    Several hours later, the Forgotten Tribe had already left behind Li Xie and Sun Pei.


    Sun Pei''s face was filled with a light smile. Right now, they had already gathered the Heavenly Stones, Myriad Turtle, and Heavenly Rain Zither.


    As for where this world shocking gourd was located, even the spirit beast, Long''er, didn''t know.


    Compared to Sun Pei, Li Xie''s mood was not very high. He had always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at them from not too far away.


    It was very possible that he was the spy sent by Cao Biao. Just as Cao Biao had said that day, he would be waiting for Li Xie at the Iron Horse Gang.


    Because Qing Yu Ye was already in the Iron Horse Gang, Li Xie had no choice but to head towards the Iron Horse Gang.


    Li Xie did not know much about Cao Biao. Furthermore, he did not have any extra energy to think about how to deal with Cao Biao.


    After traversing over the mountain ridges, Li Xie and Sun Pei returned to Mountain-Horse Town.


    Compared to a few days ago, it was already much quieter in Mountain-Horse Town today.


    Ever since Li Xie had taken care of the Devil Clan Martial Cultivator at the noodle house, the rest of the Devil Clan Martial Cultivator had already left the town quietly.


    Li Xie could not help but raise his eyebrows. He felt that something was amiss with the situation at Horse Town.


    However, Li Xie still could not figure out what was wrong, so he could only find an inn to stay at first.


    In the evening, the entire street of the town calmed down.


    Li Xie and Sun Pei were eating on the first floor of the Eastern Emergence Inn. Even though the forces of the various sects and clans that had stayed in Shang Ma Town were no longer strong, the Eastern Emergence Inn was still packed with people.


    Li Xie looked around, he realized that there were many people sneakily staring at him.


    There were even many familiar faces, all of whom came from the Guangxuan City.


    There was a good chance that tonight would be a sleepless night, and he was not afraid of it.


    At this moment, an old man dressed in shabby clothes walked into the Eastern Emergence Inn.


    The ragged old man ignored the gazes of the others as he walked towards an empty seat and sat down. At the same time, he placed an embroidered box to the side.


    The embroidered box looked ordinary, but there was always someone who was curious about it.


    None of this could escape the eyes of the old man in ragged clothes. The corners of his mouth curled up as he sneered.


    A raggedly dressed old man waved to the waiter of the Eastern Emergence Inn. The waiter unwillingly walked up to him.


    When the waiter of the Eastern Emergence Inn saw the old man dressed like a beggar, there was a trace of contempt in his eyes.


    If it weren''t for the fact that their Eastern Emergence Inn had a rule that prevented them from chasing any other guests away, the waiter would have wanted to directly let him go by cursing at the top of his lungs, so as to avoid dirtying the Eastern Emergence Inn.


    The old man in tattered clothes gave a faint smile, then took out a gold ingot from his sleeve.


    The waiter''s eyes immediately lit up, and his attitude became much better.


    May I know what you need, esteemed guest? The waiter asked politely.

 C18

    The old man in tattered clothing looked at the waiter. The waiter had a smiling face that was about to cramp up.


    Give me the best dishes and wine in your inn, I want to eat and drink! The raggedy old man said with a smile.


    All right, please wait a moment! The waiter walked away smiling.


    The ragged old man pursed his lips in satisfaction and looked around.


    Just as he had expected, he had already attracted the attention of everyone in the Eastern Emergence Inn.


    At this moment, the old man in tattered clothes decided to strike the iron while it was hot. He opened a corner of the embroidered box beside him and spiritual energy suddenly appeared!


    The people in the Eastern Emergence Inn regained their spirits. They were all speculating on what exactly was inside the embroidered box beside the old man.


    The ragged old man closed the embroidered box again, pretending that nothing had happened.


    At this time, the guard commander of the Guangxuan City Ma Family walked to the side of the raggedy old man with his head held high and his chest puffed out.


    The Ma family''s guard leader cupped his fists and bowed to the old man in tattered clothing, but his expression was very gloomy.


    The old man in shabby clothes only glanced at the Ma Clan''s Guard Commander and didn''t say a word.


    The Ma Clan''s guard commander was enraged. He drew his saber and held it before the old man''s neck.


    The blade of the saber gleamed with a cold light. As long as the Ma family''s guard commander flicked his right hand, the old man''s head would immediately be moved.


    Old man, what exactly is in that embroidered box of yours? The Ma Clan''s Guard Commander asked in a stern voice.


    Humph! You don''t have the right to know so much. Hurry up and leave so that you won''t have to regret it later! The tattered old man''s mouth twitched as he spoke.


    Ha! You old man, you have quite the manner of speaking, but I really want to see it! Let''s see what you can do to me! As soon as he finished speaking, the Ma Clan''s Guard Commander extended his left hand to open the embroidered box.


    Unexpectedly, the old man in ragged clothes glared, and the Ma Clan''s Guard Commander directly flew out.


    Bang!


    After the Ma Clan Guard Commander landed on the ground, he felt a sweet taste in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood before fainting.


    The old man in shabby clothes sneered, as he was used to seeing people like the Ma Clan''s guard commander that didn''t know his own limits.


    Even though the old man in ragged clothes looked like a tough nut to crack, all the forces in the inn were still stirred up.


    At this time, the burly master of the Guangxuan City Wang family stood up, and angrily walked to the side of the old man.


    The Wang Clan''s Young Master narrowed his eyes as he sized up the old man in ragged clothes. Compared to the Ma Clan Guard Commander from before, he was on guard.


    The Wang Clan''s Young Master''s right hand held onto the hilt of his sword, ready to pull it out at any time.


    Do you want to know what''s in my embroidered box? The raggedy old man raised his head and looked at Wang family''s young master''s master as he asked this question.


    Yes, please don''t be stingy! The Wang Clan''s Young Master''s master said.


    Fine, I don''t mind letting you have a look! As soon as he finished speaking, the old man in ragged clothes opened the embroidered box.


    Swoosh!


    When all the spiritual energy had dispersed, the world shocking gourd appeared in front of everyone''s eyes.


    Ah!" It turned out to be a world shocking gourd!


    The corners of the Wang family''s young master''s mouth twitched. He immediately extended his hand to grab the world shocking gourd, disregarding everything else.


    Ah ¡­


    The Wang family''s Young Master''s master''s face was twisted into a scowl. He quickly took a step back and lowered his head to look. His left hand had already been burnt into a deformed shape by the world shocking gourd.


    The Wang family''s Young Master''s master was burning with anger. He unsheathed his sword and thrust it towards the old man''s chest.


    The old man in ragged clothing glanced at the world shocking gourd. The world shocking gourd understood what he meant. The moment the gourd opened, a flame flew towards the Wang family''s master.


    The Wang family''s master had no time to retreat before he was engulfed in flames.


    When...


    The sword in Wang family''s young master''s hand fell to the ground. It was already pitch black, and it was in tatters.


    Charge!


    Don''t fight with me for it! The Trembling Gourd is mine!


    The raggedly dressed old man shook his head. In his opinion, even being able to see such a shocking gourd was already a gift from the heavens.


    The world shocking gourd definitely did not belong to them, and similarly, the world shocking gourd did not belong to him.


    This time, he brought a shocking gourd with him to the town of Shang Ma specifically to find a fated person.


    Boom!


    With a turn of the bottle gourd, several streams of flames surged out, quickly retreating the group of people who were about to pounce on the bottle gourd.


    Their eyes were filled with fear. They didn''t even have the slightest consciousness to resist.


    Ah! Run!


    Those who weren''t able to retreat in time were devoured by the flames, leaving nothing behind.


    The originally bustling Eastern Emergence Inn suddenly became deserted.


    The Eastern Emergence Inn was no longer the same place. The burnt tables and chairs were scattered all over the place. There was no trace of its usual elegance.


    The innkeeper and waiter had already fainted under the counter, leaving them no time to run outside.


    When the old man with tattered clothes stood up, only Li Xie and Sun Pei were left in the Eastern Emergence Inn.


    The old man in tattered clothes glanced around, his expression as calm as water.


    When he first entered the Eastern Emergence Inn, he had already expected such a result.


    Just as the raggedy old man''s gaze landed on Li Xie and Sun Pei, he couldn''t help but raise his eyebrows.


    The two of them did not seem to be afraid of the flames spewing out of the world shocking gourd. It was truly interesting.


    Young man, hurry up and bring the little girl away from here, this place will soon be razed to the ground! The ragged old man shouted.


    Oh, Senior, you mean you want to flatten this place? Li Xie asked.


    Right, little fellow, at your age, I can already rule the entire East Qin Kingdom from north to south, and I advise you not to bring suffering upon yourself! The ragged old man said.


    Senior, please give me the world shocking gourd! Li Xie said with a stern expression.


    The raggedy old man frowned. He had thought that he had misheard.


    Just a moment ago, many people wanted to take the Trembling Gourd for themselves, but now, they all fled, and were even burned to death on the spot. The raggedy old man thought to himself, is Li Xie blind? Didn''t he see it?


    Lad, you are courting death! The raggedy old man said coldly.


    Li Xie unsheathed his sword, after that, he walked towards the old man with the Nine Souls Sword in hand.


    The raggedly dressed old man squinted his eyes. He saw determination in Li Xie''s eyes, an unwavering determination that could destroy everything.


    The tattered old man''s mouth twitched. Since it was so, he was prepared to personally send Li Xie on his way.


    Just then, the old man in tattered clothes looked at the Trembling Gourd and understood what was going on. He then spat out another flame at Li Xie.


    Bang!


    Li Xie raised his Nine Souls Sword, and instantly blocked the flames that were rushing towards him!


    In a split-second, the flames circled around and rushed back into the world shocking gourd.


    Boom!


    The world shocking gourd landed on the table with a loud bang, and the embroidered box disintegrated, turning into ashes.


    As the ragged old man watched, he couldn''t help but frown.


    However, in the blink of an eye, the old man''s tattered clothes changed into a gentle face.


    The raggedy elderly man bowed to Li Xie like a reunited friend.

 C19

    Li Xie and Sun Pei looked at each other, the old man''s attitude changed too fast, they were unable to understand what she meant.


    Maybe it was a conspiracy, Li Xie and Sun Pei reminded themselves to be vigilant.


    Young man, I didn''t expect you to be the fated one I''m looking for! The raggedy old man said with a smile.


    Destined person? After Li Xie heard the old man''s tattered words, he couldn''t help but raise his eyebrows.


    The voice of the ragged old man was friendly, not like he was purposely digging a trap for him to jump into.


    Senior, what do you mean? Li Xie''s face was gloomy as he asked.


    Young man, I am here at the behest of the will of heaven. This world shocking gourd shall belong to you from now on! The old man slowly said.


    Li Xie looked at the raggedy old man with eyes filled with suspicion. He did not know what the raggedy old man''s heaven''s will was.


    Senior, are you playing some tricks? Sun Pei coldly asked.


    Of course not, I know that Tian Shi, Tian Yu Qin and the Ten Thousand Year Turtle are already in your hands. The ragged old man said.


    After Li Xie heard the old man''s words, he couldn''t help but be shocked. Could it be that he was really here to listen to the will of heaven?


    Senior, how do you know so much? Sun Pei asked with a slightly hurried tone.


    I can only say two words, ''Heaven''s will''. Everything is Heaven''s will! We will meet again! As soon as he finished speaking, the old man''s ragged clothes turned into wisps of smoke and floated into the distance.


    Li Xie indicated for Sun Pei to stand in place first, then he slowly walked to the side of the world shocking gourd.


    Under Li Xie''s attentive gaze, strands of spirit energy were emitted from within the Startling Cloud Gourd.


    Li Xie heaved a long sigh of relief. The world shocking gourd was real, and within reach.


    In the blink of an eye, the next morning arrived.


    Li Xie had already left Ma Zhen, and with big strides, he headed towards the Iron Horse Gang''s headquarters, and under Li Xie''s instructions, he stayed behind.


    The Iron Horse Gang was not the Forgotten Tribe and the Amber Villa. Li Xie did not want Sun Pei to risk her life with him.


    The headquarters of the Iron Horse Gang was located on the hillside of the Iron Horse Mountain, where the mountains were clear and beautiful, unlike the territory of the other evil-doers.


    Although the Iron Horse Gang could not compare to the three great evil sects, their power was like the scorching sun.


    When Li Xie arrived at the foot of the Steel Horse Mountain, it was already sunset.


    Just as Li Xie had expected, the Iron Horse Gang''s leader, Cao Biao, had already sent someone to the foot of the mountain to welcome him.


    At this time, Li Xie felt like a general who had returned victorious, not someone who had come to take a risk.


    After stepping into the courtyard of the Iron Horse Gang''s headquarters, an atmosphere of a Hongmen feast greeted them. This feeling was much more real.


    Now that Li Xie had gathered all four treasures, he only needed the Blue Feather Leaf in Cao Biao''s hands. Even if it was Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild, he would have to give it a try.


    Furthermore, in Li Xie''s eyes, the Iron Horse Gang was not a sea of fire and sabre in the eyes of Li Xie, he was already used to this kind of scene when he was in the Realm of Mystic Heaven.


    Perhaps Cao Biao already knew that the other four treasures were in his hands and was waiting for him to deliver them to him.


    Following the footsteps of the Iron Horse Gang''s disciple, Li Xie stepped into the Iron Horse Gang''s Supreme Wind Hall.


    At this moment, the Iron Horse Gang''s leader, Cao Biao, was sitting on the Sect Leader''s throne with his legs crossed. He had a leisurely look on his face.


    On both sides of the Supreme Wind Hall stood the Iron Horse Gang''s disciples. The Second and Third Master were there together.


    Cao Biao narrowed his eyes and stood up. He finally looked forward to seeing Li Xie.


    Li Xie did not disappoint Cao Biao. He really dared to challenge the Iron Horse Gang alone.


    Cao Biao stood up and straightened his back as he stared at Li Xie with a condescending aura.


    Brother Li, we haven''t seen each other for a long time, I miss you so much! Cao Biao said with a smile that did not reach his eyes.


    Heh, you should be missing the other four treasures in my hands, right? Li Xie said indifferently.


    Right, since you already know about it, why don''t you quickly give those four treasures to me. Cao Biao''s expression darkened as he said.


    Our Sect Master has already spoken, hand it over quickly if you know what''s good for you!


    Hand it over quickly, or don''t blame us for not knowing how to treat our guests!


    From the corner of his eyes, Li Xie saw that the Iron Horse Gang''s disciples were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, looking very imposing.


    However, his goal was to collect all five treasures, not to give away four.


    Sect Master Cao, are you trying to bully the weak with numbers? Li Xie said calmly.


    Using numbers to bully someone? It seemed a little inappropriate! Cao Biao said while holding his cheek.


    Sect Master, please give the order for me to loosen up Young Master Li''s muscles and bones!


    Li Xie looked over, only to see that the person who spoke was a tall and big young Martial Cultivator.


    The tall and sturdy young Martial Cultivator glanced at Li Xie from the corner of his eyes, and revealed a look of disdain.


    Chang Zhuang, he is Li Xie, you better think carefully! Cao Biao said as he stared at the young Martial Cultivator.


    The one I want to hit is Li Xie! The reason why his reputation in the Guangxuan City was not small was because there were no tigers and monkeys amongst the mountains who were called Overlords! Chang Zhuang said with great vigor.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows, the tone of this young Martial Cultivator called Chang Zhuang was not small!


    What''s wrong? Are you afraid? If you''re afraid, just say it. If you''re afraid, just admit defeat. I never bully the weak! Chang Zhuang coldly looked at Li Xie and said.


    Brother Li, my helper Chang Zhuang is full of fighting spirit! Cao Biao said.


    Brother Chang, I hope that you will show mercy later! Li Xie said to Chang Zhuang.


    Chang Zhuang shot a glance at Li Xie, and then quickly strode to the empty space outside the Supreme Wind Hall.


    After a while, Li Xie was already standing in the empty space outside of the Supreme Wind Hall.


    Chang Zhuang stared at Li Xie with his hands on his hips, as if he was looking at a person who was about to die.


    When he found out that Li Xie was about to enter the Iron Horse Gang, he had already expected that there would be a day.


    At this moment, he was extremely excited, he could not wait to wrench out Li Xie''s head, so he could establish his position in the Iron Horse Gang.


    Chang Zhuang looked around and saw the anticipation in everyone''s eyes.


    Li Xie calmly cupped his fists and bowed to Chang Zhuang, the killing intent in Chang Zhuang''s eyes were like gentle moonlight to him.


    Young Master Li, quickly pull out the sword on your back! Chang Zhuang said.


    No need, it was not to the extent of drawing a sword! Li Xie replied indifferently.


    Humph! It seems that you are determined to die, so I''ll grant your wish! Right after he finished speaking, Chang Zhuang quickly rushed towards Li Xie.


    "Hiss ¡­" "Hiss ¡­"


    Chang Zhuang waved the blade in his hand fiercely towards Li Xie''s vitals, and every slash was filled with power.


    The sound of the blade''s roar reverberated within the Wind Hall from inside out. Even the starry sky turned dim and the moonlight hid itself in the clouds.


    Chang Zhuang activated all the Elemental Energy in his body, his arms full of power.


    Under Chang Zhuang''s attack, the ground in front of Li Xie had already become extremely dilapidated.


    The blade edge continued to hiss, like a Strange Beast baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.


    Humph! Young Master Li, I never thought that you would only have the strength to resist, looks like I overestimated you! Chang Zhuang said coldly.


    Kill him! Kill him!

 C20

    Under the cheers of the Iron Horse Gang''s disciples, Chang Zhuang became more and more excited.


    Chang Zhuang rushed forward with all his might. His eyes were already red.


    The blade roared, the attack was like the wind, he would not give Li Xie any chance to catch his breath.


    Boom!


    Chang Zhuang gripped the hilt of his blade tightly as it fell from the sky. Li Xie dodged to the side but the fake mountain behind him instantly collapsed and rolled onto the ground.


    Chang Zhuang sneered, he felt that Li Xie had already reached the point of exhaustion.


    Since that was the case, he decided to go all out and send Li Xie to the Lord of the Underworld!


    Boom!


    Another blade howled, the surroundings of the Supreme Wind Hall were filled with blade marks.


    Chang Zhuang glared and slashed fiercely at Li Xie''s chest.


    The blade edge bit at the air, emitting fire, it was even fiercer than the claws and fangs of the Strange Beast.


    At this very moment, the Elemental Energy in Chang Zhuang''s body was burning as waves of Elemental Energy surged!


    Bang!


    Chang Zhuang was shocked, to think that Li Xie had actually grabbed his right wrist.


    Li Xie tried his best to lift it up, and then with a swing, Chang Zhuang was thrown out like a rock.


    Chang Zhuang pushed himself off the ground with his left hand, then he immediately stood up and pounced towards Li Xie once more.


    A full moon whizzed out, and at this moment, Chang Zhuang''s face was already ferocious.


    Li Xie''s figure flashed, and instantly appeared behind Chang Zhuang. He punched Chang Zhuang''s back, once again sending him flying.


    This time, Li Xie did not wait for Chang Zhuang to stand up as he quickly stepped on Chang Zhuang''s chest.


    Chang Zhuang swallowed the mouthful of blood back down his throat.


    Chang Zhuang glared fiercely at Li Xie, wishing that he could use his eyes to hack Li Xie into eight pieces.


    Li Xie laughed coldly, following that, he released his killing intent and pounced towards Chang Zhuang.


    You want to kill me? This is the Iron Horse Gang, do you have the guts? Chang Zhuang gazed at Li Xie and said calmly.


    Boom!


    Li Xie pushed the Elemental Energy downwards, and with a stomp of his feet, Chang Zhuang died!


    With the death of Chang Zhuang, the blade in his hand instantly lost its luster.


    Li Xie turned and looked around. At this time, the arrogant expression on the faces of the Iron Horse Gang''s disciples could no longer be seen.


    After that, Li Xie''s gaze fell on Cao Biao, and he remained as calm as ever.


    Brother Li, it is already late, I would like to invite you to stay the night with the Iron Horse Gang. Cao Biao looked at Li Xie and asked.


    Un, I am also a bit tired now. Li Xie said as the corners of his mouth rose.


    Cao Biao ordered his men to clear out a guest room in the southern courtyard of the Iron Horse Gang and invited Li Xie to stay there.


    The Southern Courtyard was the most peaceful place in the entire Iron Horse Gang''s headquarters. Ordinary people like Cao Biao wouldn''t let him stay in the Southern Courtyard.


    The courtyard of the southern courtyard was a spacious land filled with trees. It was currently summer, and the branches were gently swaying in the breeze like the graceful figure of a woman.


    As Li Xie stood on the spacious and empty grounds of the Southern Courtyard, he had a nagging feeling that this night would not pass by so easily.


    He had yet to guess Cao Biao''s intention for asking him to stay the night at the Iron Horse Gang.


    At this moment, the Nine Souls Sword inside the scabbard on Li Xie''s back trembled slightly. Li Xie understood that the Nine Souls Sword was telling him that someone had come to visit.


    Li Xie did not even turn his head to look, he was waiting for the person who had come to visit him to take the initiative to step forward.


    Those who came to visit him must have a high status in the Iron Horse Gang. Otherwise, he wouldn''t be able to sneak into the Southern Courtyard so easily.


    The Iron Horse Gang was heavily guarded, and no matter where they went, there would be patrolling disciples.


    Even if it was windy and raining, the Iron Horse Gang''s guards wouldn''t relax for even a moment.


    When the sound of footsteps reached his ears, Li Xie saw from the corner of his eyes that the person who had just arrived was a familiar face. He had met the person back at the Supreme Wind Hall.


    The man cupped his fists and bowed to Li Xie, his face filled with a faint smile.


    He thought that Li Xie would impatiently ask him why he was here, but it seemed that Li Xie didn''t care.


    He somewhat understood why Cao Biao would be so afraid of Li Xie, hence he became cautious.


    Brother Li, my name is Hu Goudan, I am the Third Master of the Iron Horse Gang. The person could not help but speak up.


    "Ugh ¡­" So you are the Third Master, and you specifically came to the Southern Courtyard to admire the moon? Li Xie asked.


    Of course not, I''m here to discuss a big matter with Brother Li! Hu bolder said.


    Big matter? Li Xie said, he felt that the big matter that Hu Ba spoke of must be related to Cao Biao.


    Hu Dan took a glance to his left and right before calming himself down to listen to the sounds around him. He was sure there was no one else around.


    Hu Ge waved at the gate of the Southern Courtyard and it closed with a loud bang.


    When Hu Ba looked at Li Xie once again, his expression became much more serious.


    He came to the southern courtyard to see Li Xie and took a huge risk. Even now, he was still trembling in fear.


    Brother Li, I want to ally with you, what do you think? Hu bolder asked in a soft voice.


    Together? Why don''t you explain yourself! Li Xie''s face darkened as he said.


    Sigh, Brother Li, I know you must be suspecting my true intentions for coming here. I brought along my sincerity, which is enough to prove my determination to ally with you. Hu bolder said.


    Sincerity? Li Xie raised his eyebrows and said.


    Hu Ba nodded his head, then he reached into his sleeve with his left hand and took out a black cloth that was wrapped around something.


    Li Xie''s gaze naturally fell on the black cloth that was wrapped around the object. He felt that the thing wrapped within the black cloth was something that would make his eyes light up.


    At this time, Hu Ba carefully opened the black cloth and a cyan light immediately spilled out.


    Li Xie looked at Hu Ge, the sincerity that Hu Ba brought was actually Qing Yu Ye.


    The Cyan Feather Leaf was a piece of jade, and it emitted a cyan light.


    Under the consolation of the moonlight, the leaf appeared light and agile, as if it could fly away at any time with a pair of wings.


    In Brother Li, Cao Biao hid the Blue Feather Leaf in an extremely secluded place. He thought that other than him, no one else would know about it. At this moment, his expression was much calmer than before.


    Don''t you want to take the Cyan Feather Leaf for yourself? Li Xie asked.


    I am a person who knows his own limitations, leaving Qing Yu Ye by my side will only bring me a fatal disaster! Hu bolder said.


    Why are you doing this? Li Xie asked with interest.


    To tell you the truth, Cao Biao and I have reached a point where we cannot tolerate each other. If I want to live, then Cao Biao must die! The corner of Hu Bao''s mouth twitched as he said.


    Li Xie looked at Hu Bao doubtfully, and once again, his gaze fell on the green feathered leaf.


    Hu Ba cupped the Cyan Feather Leaf in his hand and handed it over to Li Xie, who took the opportunity to gently receive it.


    The Blue Feather leaf was like a layer of ice, allowing Li Xie to feel refreshed.


    Whoosh ¡­


    Suddenly, the green feathered leaf in Li Xie''s hand transformed into an iron rope that bound him tightly.


    And if Li Xie used more strength, the iron rope binding him would become tighter and tighter.


    Hu Ba took a few steps back, at this moment, his face was full of fiendish grin.


    I''m sorry, Brother Li, I was just following orders! Hu bolder said.


    Just as Li Xie was about to use his Will to make the Nine Souls Sword rush out of its sheath, waves of dizziness made him feel as if he was stepping on cotton.


    Just then, a vine came out from the ground beside Li Xie and dragged him in.


    When Li Xie regained his consciousness, he was already trapped in the Iron Horse Gang''s dungeon.

 C21

    He was tied to a stone pillar with an iron rope. The Iron Horse Gang''s dungeon was dark and damp, making him feel uncomfortable. From time to time, there were vipers, bugs, and ants passing by.


    Li Xie continued to stretch his gaze forward but he was still unable to see the exit to the dungeon.


    Other than him, no one else was locked up here. The entire dungeon seemed very empty.


    The iron rope that bound him was no ordinary thing. It was able to prevent Li Xie from controlling the Elemental Energy in his body.


    In addition, the longer he was bound, the blood in his body would gradually stop flowing.


    When that time came, he would no longer need anyone to do anything, and he would forever remain in the Iron Horse Gang''s dungeon.


    Li Xie looked up, the Nine Souls Sword was lying in its sword sheath and had fallen asleep.


    "Whiz!"


    Following the voice that sounded, the Iron Horse Gang''s leader, Cao Biao, stood in front of Li Xie.


    Cao Biao circled Li Xie as if he was admiring his prey.


    It was just as he had said when they first met. In his eyes, whether it was the five treasures needed to awaken the Ancient Scroll or Li Xie''s head, all of them were his.


    Right now, Li Xie was trapped in the dungeon and was unable to control the Elemental Energy.


    Cao Biao stopped and looked at Li Xie quietly, his expression relaxed.


    Now that the initiative was in his hands, he felt that he could only rely on Li Xie to cooperate with him to the best of his abilities.


    Brother Li, it''s time to return the four treasures that I gave you to keep back to me. Cao Biao said.


    Ah, you really know how to enjoy life! Li Xie sneered.


    You better act quickly and hand over those four treasures. Otherwise, not only will you be tormented, even Miss Sun will also be tormented! The corner of Cao Biao''s mouth twitched as he said.


    Cao Biao, are you threatening me? Li Xie''s face darkened as he said.


    Yes, I am a member of the evil sects, I can do all sorts of despicable, shameless, and heinous things! Cao Biao said coldly.


    Li Xie was so angry that he laughed instead. Actually, he and Cao Biao walked to the edge of the cliff at the same time.


    It was impossible for Li Xie to give those four treasures to Cao Biao. Once Cao Biao had the chance to awaken the Ancient Scroll, it would be no less dangerous than his Devil Clan.


    Li Xie, my patience is limited! Cao Biao roared.


    Li Xie calmly looked at Cao Biao. He finally saw that Cao Biao was angry and was actually the same as an ordinary person.


    Ah! The corner of Cao Biao''s mouth twitched as he punched towards Li Xie''s chest.


    Li Xie suddenly felt as if his chest was struck by a huge rock, the piercing pain caused his face to turn pale white.


    As long as he wanted something, he had not failed before.


    Even if Li Xie was the young Martial Cultivator with the most talent in Guangxuan City, at this moment in time, he was only an ant that he could pinch the most.


    The torture had only just begun and Cao Biao''s interest had not yet been completely ignited.


    Sect Leader Cao, are you that weak? Li Xie clenched his teeth and said.


    Hm? Li Xie, you are looking for trouble! My heart is kind, of course it will be as you wish! Right after he finished speaking, Cao Biao''s fist once again landed on Li Xie''s chest.


    Li Xie''s throat felt a sweetness, and fresh blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.


    When Cao Biao saw all of this, he did not believe that Li Xie''s bones would be tougher than his fists.


    Sect Master Cao, I have truly overestimated you. You have truly disappointed me! Li Xie raised his head and smiled at Cao Biao.


    Shut up! With a furious roar, Cao Biao kicked at Li Xie, and instantly, Li Xie and the stone pillar behind him flew together.


    When Li Xie landed, his stomach was already in a tumble.


    Cao Biao quickly walked to Li Xie''s side. At this moment, Li Xie''s entire body was covered with scars.


    Cao Biao narrowed his eyes and sized Li Xie up. His eyes were filled with an expression as if everything was under his control.


    Now that Li Xie''s life and death was in his hands, he could torture Li Xie however he wanted.


    The corner of Cao Biao''s mouth twitched. He lifted Li Xie up and threw him out.


    Li Xie became a rock, a crater wherever he landed.


    Cao Biao once again walked to the side of Li Xie. He heard the sound of Li Xie''s breathing become more hurried.


    Li Xie, torturing you is not something that can excite me anymore. I have to torture Miss Sun, it will definitely be very stimulating! Just as he finished speaking, Cao Biao turned around and walked out with large strides.


    Li Xie clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and slowly stood up.


    He would not let anyone harm Sun Pei, even if he only had one breath left!


    Cao Biao, get the hell back here! Li Xie shouted loudly, and said.


    Cao Biao''s brows furrowed, and he suddenly stopped moving. Abruptly, he turned around and glared at Li Xie.


    He could actually see the anger in Li Xie''s eyes, the burning fury.


    Cao Biao''s lips involuntarily twitched. He approached Li Xie step by step, like a monster that thirsted for life.


    Kid, you actually told me to come back here just now. I''ll help you! Cao Biao said coldly.


    Boom!


    Like a torrential storm, Li Xie''s mind went blank, until he flew out and sank into the wall.


    Fresh blood once again flowed down the corner of Li Xie''s mouth, but Li Xie''s eyes were still determined.


    Cao Biao walked towards Li Xie step by step, his eyes filled with killing intent!


    At this moment, the Purple Radiant True Flame in Li Xie''s body opened its eyes.


    Li Xie''s body that was originally exhausted, gradually had the power to rise again!


    Bang!


    Cao Biao looked at Li Xie in disbelief. His fist was actually caught by Li Xie.


    Furthermore, Cao Biao could feel that there were still Elemental Energy in Li Xie''s body, growing like blazing flames.


    The iron rope that was binding Li Xie had broken into pieces and scattered on the ground.


    The corner of Cao Biao''s mouth twitched. He did not believe that Li Xie could slip away through his fingers.


    Go to hell! Li Xie! With an explosive roar, Cao Biao''s left fist swung towards Li Xie''s chest.


    Li Xie rose from the ground and instantly appeared behind Cao Biao.


    Before Cao Biao could turn around, Li Xie''s punch had struck him in the back. Cao Biao stumbled and fell.


    Cao Biao''s hands instantly supported him as he stood up. He glared fiercely at Li Xie, wishing that he could tear Li Xie into two.


    Li Xie, I never thought that your life would be so tough! The corner of Cao Biao''s mouth twitched as he said.


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth rose. He removed his Nine Souls Sword and quickly rushed towards Cao Biao.


    "Whiz!"


    Cao Biao''s right hand shook and a spiked mace appeared in his hand. He pounced towards Li Xie.


    All of a sudden, the Iron Horse Gang''s dungeon was filled with the sound of swords flashing.


    Cao Biao brandished the Wolf Fanged Mace in his hand with such precision that it seemed as if it could pierce the wind. Wherever it went, not a single piece was left.


    Cao Biao was a middle stage Martial Cultivator of the Burning Realm. His strength was strong and his Elemental Energy s were plentiful.


    Bang! Bang!


    The Nine Souls Sword in Li Xie''s hands and Cao Biao''s spiked club caused the ground to shake every time they clashed, as if mountains were collapsing and the earth was cracking.


    Cao Biao stared coldly into Li Xie''s eyes, as if he was staring at a corpse.


    Even if Li Xie had three heads and six arms, he would still cut them off one by one.


    Cao Biao''s attacks became fiercer and fiercer. The Iron Horse Gang''s dungeon was no longer intact.


    Suddenly, Cao Biao''s foot pushed off and fell from the sky, smashing the mace towards Li Xie''s head.


    The power of Cao Biao''s Wolf Fanged Mace was extremely strong. As long as Li Xie didn''t dodge in time, he would immediately be smashed into pieces.


    Li Xie took a small step back as the mace brushed past his shoulder.

 C22

    The corner of Cao Biao''s mouth twitched, and he once again swung the spiked mace at Li Xie''s vitals. The Elemental Energy was boiling in his body.


    Li Xie turned around to look at the stone wall of the dungeon behind him.


    Cao Biao laughed coldly as he thought that Li Xie was already standing on the side of the cliff.


    As long as he blew lightly, Li Xie would be smashed into pieces after falling off the cliff.


    Boom!


    Cao Biao injected a strong wave of Elemental Energy into the Wolf Teeth Rod in his hand and swung it towards Li Xie''s chest. The strength was extremely strong, enough to split a mountain.


    Cao Biao was extremely excited, he felt that he would be able to witness Li Xie''s bloodied body soon.


    Regardless of whether it was the treasure that had awakened the Ancient Scroll or the head of Li Xie, everything was within his grasp.


    Clang!


    What surprised Cao Biao was that the mace he used to swing towards Li Xie was actually bounced back by the Nine Souls Sword.


    Cao Biao was infuriated. No one had ever been able to escape from the mace!


    Cao Biao stared at Li Xie with a sinister look, the veins on his hands that were tightly gripping the Wolf Fanged Mace bulged out.


    Ah!


    Following Cao Biao''s furious roar, the stones in the dungeon flew up.


    Under the control of Cao Biao''s thoughts, the flying rocks all flew towards Li Xie, just like an angry and rampant pack of wolves.


    Cao Biao narrowed his eyes. He was waiting to hear Li Xie''s heart-wrenching screams.


    Get lost!


    Ah ¡­


    Cao Biao kept his Wolf Fanged Mace and retreated quickly. The rocks that were charging towards Li Xie turned around and charged towards Cao Biao.


    At this moment, Cao Biao''s footsteps had already become chaotic. The development of the situation had exceeded his expectations.


    Cao Biao brandished his mace, completely destroying all the rocks that were flying towards him.


    After the stones that were flying towards Cao Biao shattered, Cao Biao raised his spiked mace and rushed towards Li Xie. The Iron Horse Gang''s dungeon started to shake as well.


    Clang!


    Cao Biao frowned as he watched the mace split into two.


    Over the years, the mace had always been by his side, taking the lives of hundreds of people for him.


    Hiss!


    The Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi whistled past. Cao Biao lowered his head and saw that his chest had already left a deep sword scar.


    Blood had already dyed Cao Biao''s eyes red and the ground under his feet was dyed red.


    Li Xie suddenly jumped up and seized the opportunity to swing the Nine Souls Sword towards Cao Biao''s throat.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    Even though Cao Biao had both hands covering his throat, he was still unable to control his life.


    When Li Xie put away the Nine Souls Sword, Cao Biao was already lying on the ground, on the verge of death, his entire body twitching a few times.


    Li Xie quickly walked to Cao Biao''s side. Cao Biao used all his strength to glare at Li Xie.


    Sect Leader Cao, I will have to take away the Cyan Feather Leaf that I left with you! As soon as Li Xie finished speaking, Qing Yu Ye Yu floated up from within Cao Biao''s clothes.


    After the Blue Feather Ye Yu landed steadily on Li Xie''s palm, Cao Biao took his last breath.


    Li Xie squatted down and closed Cao Biao''s eyes. As the leader of the Iron Horse Gang, he would not allow Cao Biao to die with grievances.


    When Li Xie left the Iron Horse Gang''s headquarters, the various courtyards were already filled with fire.


    After a few hours, Li Xie returned to Ma Zhen. Seeing Li Xie''s injured body, Sun Pei''s heart felt like it was being stabbed by a knife.


    Li Xie stared at Sun Pei with a smile all over his face, indicating that he had only suffered a little.


    In the guest room of the Eastern Emergence Inn, Sun Pei started to apply the healing medicine on Li Xie''s big and small wounds.


    was alarmed by every wound. He had walked through the headquarters of the Iron Horse Gang once, and it was as if he had shed a layer of skin.


    The Iron Horse Gang''s Sect Leader, Cao Biao, was not a useless person.


    After applying healing medicine to all the big and small wounds on Li Xie''s body, Sun Pei sat down on a chair beside Li Xie.


    Sun Pei suspected that Li Xie was not made of iron, and even after receiving so many injuries, his expression was still extremely spirited.


    Dong dong dong ¡­


    Li Xie and Sun Qun looked towards the door at the same time. They didn''t know who was knocking at this moment.


    Who are you!? Li Xie asked loudly, a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.


    Young Master Li, I came under the orders of City Lord Zhang to lend you a hand!


    Li Xie and Sun Pei exchanged glances, and at this time, Zhang Jingzhi actually sent someone to help him out, it was somewhat strange.


    Come in!


    Squeak squeak...


    When the door was pushed open from the outside, a middle-aged man walked in front of Li Xie and Sun Pei.


    The middle-aged man respectfully bowed towards Li Xie and Sun Pei, his face filled with a gentle smile.


    Although Li Xie''s face looked good, the middle aged man could still smell the scent of healing medicine in the air.


    The middle-aged man rolled his eyes as he knew what he should do next.


    Young Master Li, I wonder, have you found all five treasures that can awaken the Ancient Scrolls? The middle-aged man asked cautiously.


    Mm, I''ve found all of them, you can go back and report now! Li Xie said calmly.


    Ah!" That would be great! The middle-aged man said with a happy expression.


    "Hmm, why don''t we speak frankly? What is the real purpose of Master Zhang sending you here?" Li Xie asked, his eyes becoming sharp.


    The middle-aged man raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat off his forehead, appearing extremely nervous.


    Sun Pei frowned, then turned and looked at Li Xie.


    It was as if the master of the Guangxuan City, Zhang Jingzhi, did not trust Li Xie, or perhaps Zhang Jingzhi wanted to stop those five treasures halfway.


    Swoosh!


    Suddenly, a human figure jumped through the window, raised his sword and slashed at Li Xie''s back.


    Li Xie turned his body slightly, and used a sneak attack to parry his sword, he immediately unsheathed his sword and thrusted it towards the middle aged man in front of him.


    The middle-aged man''s mouth twitched, he quickly retreated, and in the blink of an eye, he dodged the Nine Souls Sword''s blade.


    In a blink of an eye, Li Xie turned and waved his Nine Souls Sword forward as the Sword Qi flew out.


    Martial Cultivator who had jumped out of the window just now turned his body a few times to avoid the Sword Qi of the Nine Souls Sword. When he stabilized his footsteps, he was already standing beside the middle-aged man.


    The middle aged man immediately bowed towards him, and when his gaze landed on Li Xie again, he looked extremely fierce.


    So it was Commander Luo! Li Xie said as he looked towards Martial Cultivator who had jumped out of the window.


    He felt that if he were to be a little more serious just now, he would have been able to understand Li Xie''s life.


    Young Master Li, you have improved quite a bit in these few days! Luo Sanjiu sighed.


    Commander Luo, let''s not talk about this anymore. What does City Lord Zhang mean by this? Li Xie''s face darkened as he asked.


    Whether it''s the Ma Family or the Wang Family, both of them are saying that you colluded with the Devil Clan, is there such a thing? Luo Sanjiu said with a frown.


    Nothing like this! Li Xie said with a sonorous and powerful voice.


    I hope that Young Master Li can follow me back to Guangxuan City, or give me the five ancient scroll treasures that have awakened. Luo Sanjiu replied.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows, wouldn''t giving the five treasures needed to awaken the Ancient Scroll be equivalent to giving it to Luo Sanjiu as a gift?


    Even if he went back to Guangxuan City with Luo 3000, it was likely that there were traps everywhere in Guangxuan City City.


    Li Xie laughed inside, he was truly well-informed with Zhang Jingzhi, he had coincidentally gathered all five treasures needed to awaken the Ancient Scroll.


    Commander Luo, it can''t be that your City Master is colluding with the Devil Clan, right? Sun Pei coldly said as she stared at Luo Sanjiu.

 C23

    He heard a voice that made him very unhappy.


    Little girl, don''t you dare speak nonsense! Luo San stared at Sun Pei and said.


    Commander Luo, please go back. I won''t take either of the paths you mentioned! Li Xie said.


    After Luo Qian heard what Li Xie had to say, his eyes immediately opened wide.


    Even if Li Xie''s reputation in the Guangxuan City wasn''t small, Luo 3000 still wouldn''t give him a good look, because the person he was working for was the city lord of the Guangxuan City.


    The attack that he used to ambush Li Xie was just a small test, he felt that he should go all out now.


    Luo Sanniang gave a look to the middle-aged man standing beside him, and the middle-aged man immediately left Li Xie''s room while bowing.


    In the blink of an eye, Luo Qian raised his sword and pierced towards Li Xie''s heart, like a violent storm.


    Li Xie waved his Nine Souls Sword and moved forward as the Sword Qi whistled back and forth.


    Li Xie had long heard that Luo 3000 Martial Cultivator was very strong, and it just so happened to take advantage of this opportunity to compete with Luo 3000 in power.


    Sun Pei took a few steps back, in order to not hinder Li Xie from attacking.


    Luo 3000 laughed coldly, he saw that Li Xie''s wounds were not fully healed yet, but he did not feel that he had won unfairly.


    Therefore, Falling 3000 Swords ruthlessly struck Li Xie''s vital parts.


    Since Li Xie did not listen to his advice, he would not leave Li Xie any opportunity to catch his breath.


    Xiu Xiu! *


    As the two completely different Sword Qi rampaged across the room, the room was no longer the same as before. Not a single part of it was intact.


    Luo Sanqian imbued Elemental Energy into the sword in his hand, causing the sword aura in his hand to be extremely threatening.


    He had long wanted to compete with Li Xie, so this opportunity was priceless!


    Under the fierce attack of Luo Qianqiu, Li Xie''s footsteps became heavier. These steps could not escape the eyes of Luo Sanjiu.


    The corner of Luo Sanniang''s mouth twitched, and another ferocious Sword Qi pounced towards Li Xie.


    Li Xie waved the Nine Souls Sword in his hand, and the Sword Qi that was pouncing towards him vanished into thin air.


    Luo Sanniang stepped out and jumped into the air, then took the chance to stab Li Xie''s chest with the sword.


    Although Li Xie had dodged it in time, his shoulder was still wounded, blood flowing down along his arm.


    When he landed on the ground, his face was filled with a sinister smile.


    Young Master Li, oh Young Master Li, you are not my opponent, why not surrender! Luo Sanjiu advised.


    Commander Luo, I haven''t lost yet! Li Xie said calmly.


    Ah!" It seems like you won''t cry until you''ve entered the coffin! Luo Sanjiu roared.


    Boom ¡­


    Following a loud noise, Li Xie seemed to have been uprooted like a towering tree.


    Luo San was extremely excited, as if he could already see Li Xie''s bloodied body.


    No matter if it was the five treasures that had awakened the ancient scroll or Li Xie''s head, he had to bring it back to the Guangxuan City.


    He could use this opportunity to make a name for himself. Thinking of this, his blood boiled!


    Li Xie! You should have died a long time ago. It was a mistake for you to come back alive! Luo Sanjiu roared.


    No matter what, I have to come back. The reason why Li Fang became famous so quickly in Guangxuan City is because you guys were supporting him from behind! Li Xie shouted.


    Right, Li Xie, you are still a little smart! Luo Sanjiu sneered.


    You are all extremely detestable! Li Xie said angrily, the Elemental Energy in his body slowly started to boil.


    Not long ago, he had a fight with Cao Biao of the Iron Horse Gang, and the Elemental Energy in Li Xie''s body was a little tired.


    But at this very moment, the Elemental Energy in Li Xie''s body had already awoken, and he could clearly feel it.


    Even if he did not use the Purple Light True Fire, Li Xie was confident that he could send them off on their way.


    Go to hell! Li Xie! As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Sansheng swung his sword towards Li Xie''s chest.


    Li Xie held onto the Nine Souls Sword tightly, taking the chance to move forward, causing Sword Qi to surge out.


    Luo Sanniang turned pale with fright. He took a few steps back and retracted his sword.


    When he stabilized himself, he glanced at Sun Pei and knew what he had to do.


    Taking a big step, Luo Sanjiu held her sword and rushed towards Sun Pei, her mouth revealing a sinister smile.


    Li Xie immediately ran over to Sun Pei''s side, but the middle-aged man quickly rushed over, and swung her blade towards Li Xie''s back.


    From the corner of his eyes, he shot a contemptuous glance at Li Xie. Li Xie already had no time to take care of Sun Pei.


    He felt that as long as he killed Sun Pei with a single slash, he would definitely be able to make Li Xie panic.


    As long as Li Xie was flustered, Luo 3000 would take advantage of the situation and send Li Xie to accompany him. He definitely would not let the two of them be alone.


    Swoosh!


    Looking down, a ray of spiritual energy pierced through his chest.


    The strand of spirit energy was produced by Sun Pei, and at that moment, Luo 3000''s face was pale and weak.


    Sun Pei clenched her right hand into a fist, and a Feathered Spirit Sword appeared in her hand. The Feather Spirit Sword was a weapon unique to the Spirit Race.


    At this moment, Luo Sanniang was trembling with fear. He gripped the sword in his hand tightly and retreated step by step.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    By the time the Sword Qi of the Divine Feathers Sword resounded in his ears, he had already fallen into a pool of blood.


    At the same time, the middle-aged man who had pounced towards Li Xie was already dead.


    Sun Pei turned and smiled to Li Xie, she was not a weak girl.


    Li Xie shook his shoulders, sighing to himself that once Sun Pei attacked, she was actually even more ruthless than him.


    In the blink of an eye, it was the morning of the third day.


    After an hour, Li Xie and Sun Pei reached the Heaven and Earth Stage, which was a very special place.


    The surrounding area of the Qiankun Platform was bare ground, and not far away was a dense forest.


    On the Qiankun Platform, sometimes the days would be very long, and other times the nights would be even longer.


    There was a Heaven and Earth Mirror on the Heaven and Earth Stage. It was said that this mirror was a divine object from the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace.


    A few thousand years ago, the mother of the Wind Method God relied on the Heaven and Earth Mirror to dress up.


    Li Xie walked around the Heaven and Earth Mirror, and at that moment, the Heaven and Earth Mirror was still in a deep slumber, and the surface of the Heaven and Earth Mirror was completely pitch black.


    Li Xie stopped in his tracks, pulled out the Nine Souls Sword on his back, and let the five treasures, which could awaken the Ancient Scrolls, appear one by one.


    As the five treasures appeared, the Heaven and Earth Mirror slowly opened its eyes.


    The Heaven and Earth Mirror was like an old man that had experienced many vicissitudes of life, but its eyes were bright and full of spirit.


    The Heaven and Earth Mirror sized up Li Xie. Without asking, he already knew the purpose of Li Xie''s visit.


    Li Xie cupped his fists towards the Heaven and Earth Mirror and bowed. In his eyes, the Heaven and Earth Mirror was a highly respected senior.


    All of a sudden, the Heaven Rain Zither, Heaven Stone, World Shocking Gourd, Green Feather Leaf and Myriad Tortoise were sucked into the Heaven and Earth Mirror.


    After fusing the five treasures into his chest, the Heaven and Earth Mirror once again looked at Li Xie.


    Young man, are you sure you want to wake up the ancient scrolls? The Heaven and Earth Mirror asked, its voice low and deep.


    Yes, I want to find the Nine Desolate Pavilion through the ancient scrolls! Li Xie said resolutely.


    The Nine Desolations Pavilion may not have what you want, but it may actually have what you don''t want. The Heaven and Earth Mirror said.


    Even if there was only a sliver of hope, I would still be willing to go. Li Xie said.


    Alright, I''ll wake up the Ancient Scroll as you wish! The Heaven and Earth Mirror said.


    As the Heaven and Earth Mirror finished speaking, the sky above the stage began to change.


    The previously cloudless skies were instantly covered in roiling clouds. Wind blew in from all directions to join in the fun.


    The Nine Souls Sword trembled incessantly, not because it was uneasy, but because it felt a strong wave of energy.

 C24

    Li Xie channeled the Elemental Energy s into his feet, and at the same time, Sun Pei channeled spirit energy into his feet, so that he would not be blown down by the wind.


    Streams of spiritual energy rushed out from the Heaven and Earth Mirror. After that, they flew back and forth, and under the call of the Heaven and Earth Mirror, they gathered together again.


    After several strands of spiritual energy gathered together, a glittering object appeared.


    Li Xie was overjoyed. That shiny golden item must be the Ancient Scroll.


    Right now, the Ancient Era''s Scroll was right before his eyes. This sort of sensation was extremely unreal, as if he was in a dream.


    The Ancient Scroll slowly floated in front of Li Xie under the pressure of the spirit energy.


    Li Xie reached out both of his hands to catch the ancient scroll, then let out a sigh of relief.


    When the Ancient Scroll landed in Li Xie''s hands, the shining golden light disappeared.


    So all of this was real. Li Xie could truly feel the peculiar temperature from the Ancient Scroll.


    Sun Pei quickly walked over to Li Xie''s side and personally witnessed the legendary ancient scroll.


    The ancient scroll was covered with densely packed diagrams and words. Even an experienced old man would not be able to tell what it was.


    Thank you... When Li Xie looked at the Heaven and Earth Mirror, it had once again fallen into a deep sleep.


    The sky above the Qiankun platform once again became cloudless. The sunlight followed it and sprinkled all over the ground, as if nothing had happened just now.


    The wind blowing from all directions gradually disappeared, leaving only traces of their passage.


    Li Xie turned his face to the side as he looked at Sun Pei.


    Miss Sun, why do you want to wake up the ancient scrolls? Li Xie asked, he had always wanted to ask but had never had the chance to do so.


    Legend has it that the soul of the previous chief of our Spirit Race was trapped within the Nine Desolate Pavilion. I wanted to bring him home to the Cang An Mountain. Sun Pei said.


    Regarding Cang An Mountain, Li Xie had only heard about it from the Li Mansion''s elders when he was very young.


    The mountain was located very far away. Everyone had only heard of it before, but no one had ever been there before.


    So it turned out that Sun Pei was from Cang An Mountain, and Li Xie had secretly made up his mind to go there and experience it.


    Mm, you did this to bring the soul of your previous Patriarch home, and I did it to anger! Li Xie said after he regained his senses.


    Stop nagging and come quickly!


    Boom!


    After a period of dizziness, when Li Xie and Sun Pei regained consciousness, they had already left the Heaven and Earth Stage and arrived at a strange place.


    Li Xie looked around, beside him was a tall and short house, looking into the distance, he still could not see the end.


    It felt very crowded, but it also felt very empty, scattered and densely packed.


    The air smelled of sandalwood, and the branches swayed in the breeze.


    Other than the sound of the wind, one could faintly hear the sound of bells ringing, simple yet elegant.


    Could this be the Nine Desolate Pavilion? Li Xie couldn''t help but raise his eyebrows.


    The Nine Desolate Pavilion was very different from what he imagined, there were no strong and sturdy Martial Cultivator guarding here.


    Li Xie turned his face and looked at Sun Pei. He saw a smile on Sun Pei''s face.


    Other than the smile that Li Xie had seen on his face the first time they had met, he hadn''t seen a single smile on Sun Pei''s face at all.


    Brother Li! We have finally arrived at the Nine Desolations Pavilion! Sun Pei said.


    Hm, let''s turn the entire Nine Desolate Pavilion upside down! Li Xie said in high spirits.


    Sun Pei nodded and followed suit.


    Passing through the corridor and passing through the courtyard, a faint fragrance drifted in the wind.


    Li Xie and Sun Pei''s anxious emotions slowly calmed down as they started to slow their footsteps.


    When the largest palace appeared in front of Li Xie and Sun Pei, their footsteps suddenly stopped.


    Li Xie and Sun Pei exchanged glances, they both felt that the thing they were looking for was right in front of them.


    Therefore, Li Xie and Sun Pei walked into the palace with large strides.


    When Li Xie and Sun Pei stopped again, the big doors of the palace closed with a loud bang.


    Li Xie turned his head to take a look, and saw rays of sunlight coming in through the crack of the door.


    Whoosh ¡­


    At this moment, the candles in the palace lit up, causing the entire palace to be as bright as day.


    Li Xie let out a long sigh of relief.


    The words of the Heaven and Earth Mirror once again echoed in his ears. He raised his eyebrows, but very quickly, they returned to their original calm state.


    Li Xie looked around, the palace seemed empty, he could only hear the sounds of their own breathing.


    Li Xie began to walk back and forth in the palace, trying to find the location of the Raging Heavenly Art as soon as possible.


    This was the most exquisite sword move in the entire Wind Method Continent, it was definitely unrivalled and was just right to be matched with the Nine Souls Sword in Li Xie''s hands.


    Squeak...


    The gates of the palace suddenly opened, letting in a torrent of sunlight.


    Li Xie and Sun Pei turned towards the door at the same time, but they did not see a single person.


    Cough, welcome to the Nine Desolate Pavilion!


    Li Xie raised his brows, and a deep yet loud voice resounded in the air.


    Li Xie was the first to turn around and look, following that, Sun Pei also turned around, and saw a crane haired old man.


    The crane haired old man cupped his fists and saluted towards Li Xie. He was not surprised at the appearance of Li Xie and his.


    Even though there had been no guests for over a hundred years, he was the only one who had been guarding the place.


    Li Xie and Sun Pei cupped their fists and bowed towards the ruddy old man. The ruddy old man might not be the owner of the Nine Desolate Pavilion, but his status in the Nine Desolate Pavilion was definitely not low.


    The ruddy old man narrowed his eyes, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.


    Senior, we have come for the Rage Heavenly Art and the soul of the previous chief of the Spirit Race! Li Xie went straight to the point.


    "Ugh ¡­" Little brother, you are truly frank! The ruddy old man said.


    Senior, you must know where the souls of the Enraged Heavenly Art and the previous chief of the Spirit Race are! Li Xie said.


    Yes, please come with me! Just as he finished speaking, a ruddy old man walked past Li Xie and quickly left the palace.


    Li Xie and Sun Pei followed the old man and passed through the palaces of the Nine Desolate Hall and arrived at the back of the mountain.


    Compared to the Nine Desolations Pavilion, the mountain behind the Nine Desolate Pavilion was extremely desolate.


    The crane haired old man stopped in his tracks, then turned to look at Li Xie and Sun Pei.


    The crane haired old man gave Li Xie and Sun Pei a look, signalling them to come over to his side.


    Li Xie and Sun Pei did not hesitate, and directly walked to the side of the crane-haired old man.


    They followed the crane hair old man''s gaze and looked forward. Not far in front of them, a luxuriant tree that reached into the heavens was erected.


    Li Xie frowned, thinking, could it be that there was a connection between this flourishing tree and the Rage Heaven''s Art?


    The ruddy-haired elder stroked his long beard with a calm expression.


    The Wrath of the Heaven Art that you want is right under the root of this towering tree. You need to pull out the sword on your back and pull it up by its roots! The crane haired old man looked at Li Xie and spoke slowly.


    Thank you for your guidance, senior! Li Xie thanked the crane haired old man, then quickly walked to the side of the towering tree.


    Li Xie raised his head and looked up, but he could not see where the top of the towering tree was. He immediately unsheathed the Nine Souls Sword.


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth raised, and he took the opportunity to pour a wave of Elemental Energy into the Nine Souls Sword in his hands.


    Swoosh!

 C25

    Li Xie stepped on the ground and instantly soared into the sky, then threw the Nine Souls Sword towards the gigantic tree!


    Bang!


    When the Sword Qi that was rushing towards the towering tree dissipated, the towering tree did not move at all.


    Li Xie frowned, he sighed in his heart, this huge tree was formed by the condensation of Spirit Qi.


    After experiencing hundreds of years of growth, this towering tree seemed like it had grown a copper wall of iron bones.


    Ordinary powers couldn''t destroy it at all. It seemed that he had to treat it seriously.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    Li Xie held onto the Nine Souls Sword''s sword hilt tightly and pierced it into the huge tree.


    Li Xie injected waves of Elemental Energy into the huge tree, and the Sword Qi of the Nine Souls Sword began to flow back and forth.


    "Whiz!"


    Li Xie pulled the Nine Souls Sword out of the huge tree, and started waving it at the roots of the huge tree.


    It was like a torrential storm. Even a copper wall would have its moments of exhaustion.


    Boom!


    Under the Nine Souls Sword s Sword Qi''s storm-like attacks, the towering tree was uprooted!


    Bang!


    The towering tree that had fallen from the sky suddenly disintegrated, eventually turning into wisps of smoke and dissipating along with the wind.


    Just then, a wooden box rushed out from the ground and floated in front of Li Xie.


    Li Xie sheathed his sword and stretched out both of his hands to steadily hold the wooden box in his hands.


    Li Xie was beaming with joy, he was sure that the Heaven''s Rage Art was in the wooden box in his hands.


    On top of the wooden box were carved two lifelike divine dragons, soaring through the air while baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. A divine dragon was a divine beast from ancient times.


    This wooden box had a history that was even longer and incalculable than the Nine Desolate Pavilion.


    Bang!


    Just as Li Xie was about to open the wooden box, it took the initiative to open. Symbols and diagrams rushed into Li Xie''s mind.


    Ah ¡­


    Li Xie rolled back and forth on the ground while holding his head.


    In the blink of an eye, the wooden box had become one with the ground.


    Sun Pei ran over to Li Xie''s side. At that moment, Li Xie''s face was filled with an expression that could tear one''s lungs apart.


    Senior, what happened to Brother Li? Just as he finished speaking, Sun Pei turned to look, only to see that the ruddy haired elder had already disappeared.


    Sun Pei frowned, she felt that they had fallen into a trap.


    Li Xie pushed Sun Pei away and continued to run back and forth as if she had gone mad.


    Streams of air and waves of power rampaged through Li Xie''s body, causing him to be unable to rest for even a moment.


    Only when he was completely exhausted did Li Xie slowly come to a stop.


    Li Xie gasped for breath, just now he felt someone had grabbed his throat.


    At that moment, Li Xie felt his entire body aching, as though he was about to fall apart.


    Li Xie awakened the Purple Light True Fire, and from there, was able to control his own consciousness and body step by step.


    Following the gradual assimilation of the symbols and diagrams that rushed out from the wooden box into Li Xie''s body, Li Xie was finally able to breathe happily.


    Li Xie stretched out the back of his hand to wipe off the sweat on his forehead, then walked towards Sun Pei.


    How could he not see Sun Pei''s fearful look just now?


    Huff ¡­


    Li Xie and Sun Pei looked in the direction of the sound one after the other. A black hole that was gradually growing bigger appeared in the place where the towering tree used to be.


    Wave after wave of strong and dense demon aura surged out from the black hole. The sky above the entire Nine Desolate Pavilion was suddenly covered by rolling dark clouds.


    Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. Violent winds gusted, and at this moment, the Nine Desolate Pavilion was like a purgatory.


    Li Xie couldn''t help but frown. With such a strong and dense devil energy, he could only be a Devil Monarch!


    It was rumored that a few hundred years ago, the Devil Monarch led the Devil Clan and wantonly invaded the Profound Heaven Region and the Star River Region. The Realm Lords of the Profound Heaven Region and the Star River Region could no longer endure.


    After the Devil Monarch was subdued, the rest of the Devil Clan fled into the deep mountains and forests, recuperating for a long time.


    If it weren''t for the ancient scrolls, the Devil Clan wouldn''t have been active recently.


    Li Xie frowned, he suddenly understood the meaning of the Heaven and Earth Mirror''s words.


    Rumble rumble rumble!


    With a loud noise, the entire sky seemed to have been torn apart from within.


    Li Xie unsheathed his sword and held the Nine Souls Sword tightly in his hand, then he protected Sun Pei behind him.


    At that moment, Sun Pei heard her own rapid heartbeat.


    Ha! I''m finally seeing the light of day again! Just as he finished speaking, several black clouds rushed out from the black hole!


    Not long after, numerous black clouds gathered together, and a tall and sturdy man appeared in front of Li Xie and his group.


    A sturdy man floated in the air and looked down at Li Xie and Sun Pei.


    The tall and sturdy man smiled at Li Xie and Sun Pei. If it wasn''t for them, he might have been trapped here for his entire life.


    The armor worn by the burly man was already in tatters, but one could still tell the glory of his past from the armor.


    He opened his arms and breathed freely. At this moment, he felt extremely happy.


    Brother Li, who is he? Sun Pei held Li Xie''s hand and asked.


    He is the Devil Monarch! Li Xie said. His tone was not heavy, but it was loud enough to hear!


    Sun Pei immediately paled. When she was at Cang An Mountain, she had heard of the fierce reputation of the Devil Monarch. Many of their spirit race Martial Cultivator s had all died miserable deaths at the hands of the Devil Monarch.


    That''s right, I am the Devil Monarch! As soon as he finished, Devil Monarch landed steadily on his heels.


    Devil Monarch narrowed his eyes and sized up Li Xie and Sun Pei. He already knew their identities.


    Li Xie stared coldly at the Devil Monarch, his right hand tightly holding onto the Nine Souls Sword.


    Don''t worry, I''m in a good mood right now. I don''t want to kill anyone, not to mention the fact that you''ve saved me once! Devil Monarch said as he raised his eyebrows.


    Is the city lord of Guangxuan City, Zhang Jingzhi, your henchman? Li Xie asked harshly.


    So what? So what if it wasn''t? The corners of the Devil Monarch''s mouth lifted as he replied.


    Li Xie frowned, his judgement was not wrong, Zhang Jingzhi was really a follower of the Devil Monarch, he had long since known that the Devil Monarch was trapped in the Nine Desolate Pavilion.


    Through Li Xie''s hands, Zhang Jingzhi smoothly unsealed the Devil Monarch.


    Little girl, I have devoured the soul of your previous clan head, but unfortunately, you wasted your time here! Devil Monarch set his gaze on Sun Pei.


    Sun Pei clenched her fist tightly. She tried to summon her spirit feather sword, but was stopped by Li Xie.


    Little brother, you will become everyone''s target soon! Devil Monarch said sinisterly.


    Li Xie ran towards Devil Monarch with the Nine Souls Sword in hand. Devil Monarch shook his shoulders, and in a flash, the distance between him and Li Xie widened.


    Little brother, you''re still too weak now, you can''t even fill the gaps in my teeth. Devil Monarch smiled, then turned and disappeared without a trace.


    Li Xie looked around, not even a trace of Demonic Qi remained in the air.


    Since Devil Monarch had been trapped in the Nine Desolate Hall for so long, he must have retreated instead of advance. Unfortunately, he was still unable to keep Devil Monarch in the Nine Desolate Pavilion forever.


    Boom ¡­


    Along with loud noises that pierced through the clouds, the mountains at the back of the Nine Desolate Pavilion started to collapse one after another.


    Li Xie turned around and looked into the distance. The big and small palaces of the Nine Desolate Pavilion were collapsing as well.


    Before long, the Nine Desolate Pavilion would completely disappear from this world.


    Li Xie suddenly understood one thing, if there was no Rage Heavenly Art to guard, even the Nine Desolate Pavilion would be destroyed.

 C26

    Li Xie held Sun Pei''s hand and quickly ran out into the open space outside of the Nine Desolations Pavilion, while their faces had already changed beyond recognition.


    Deafening sounds were heard one after another, as if thousands of vicious wolves were chasing after them.


    The crevices in the ground were also chasing their footsteps, forcing them to race against time.


    If he was even a little bit too slow, his body would have been smashed to smithereens!


    Ah!


    A huge boulder fell from the sky, and Sun Pei let out a startled cry. She took a step forward and waved her sword, turning the gigantic boulder that was falling from the sky into ashes.


    Li Xie and Sun Pei originally wanted to continue running forward, but unfortunately, they had nowhere to go.


    Huge boulders constantly fell from the sky. If one was not careful, they would be crushed into mincemeat.


    The Nine Desolation Pavilion was no longer the peaceful place it was a short time ago; it was now filled with killing intent.


    Strong gales howled as they attempted to pull them into the rubble of the Nine Desolations Pavilion.


    The cracks in the ground continued to spread outwards. As long as one fell into the crack, they would be sent to accompany the King''s Palace.


    Sun Pei held Li Xie''s arm, and at this moment, she had already recovered her calm.


    Squeak...


    Come quickly, I''ll get you out of here!


    Li Xie and Sun Pei raised their heads to look. Right above them, there was a vortex of light.


    The voice that came from the vortex was extremely similar to the Heaven and Earth Mirror. It was very likely that the Heaven and Earth Mirror had extended its hand.


    Li Xie tightly grasped Sun Pei''s hand. Borrowing the help of the Nine Souls Sword, he leapt into the whirlpool.


    In the whirlpool, they couldn''t see anything.


    Whoosh ¡­


    When Li Xie and Sun Pei landed on the ground, they had returned to the Heaven and Earth Stage.


    This scene was completely different from the scene in the Nine Desolations Pavilion. The surrounding skies of the Heaven and Earth Stage was extremely clear.


    The Heaven and Earth Mirror was currently staring at Li Xie and Sun Pei. He had just heard the voice coming from the Nine Desolate Pavilion, and it woke him up right away.


    Li Xie kept his Nine Souls Sword and thanked towards the Heaven and Earth Mirror.


    If not for the help provided by the Heaven and Earth Mirror, he and Sun Pei might not have been able to return.


    Senior, do you know that Devil Monarch is trapped in the Nine Desolate Pavilion? Li Xie asked.


    I don''t know. I just remember that the Mystic Heaven Region Lord often sends people to inspect the Nine Desolate Pavilion. The Heaven and Earth Mirror said.


    Senior, right now I have accidentally let this Devil Monarch see the light of day again, I must quickly find him and eliminate him. Do you know where this Devil Monarch will be hiding? Li Xie asked with a firm tone.


    Don''t worry, even if you don''t go looking for him, he will come looking for you! The Heaven and Earth Mirror said.


    But...


    Alright, it''s time for me to rest. Please leave on your own! As soon as he finished speaking, the Heaven and Earth Mirror lost its luster once again.


    After a day, Li Xie and Sun Pei returned to the Riding Horse Town.


    However, the town of Shang Ma was already an empty town, and the people were nowhere to be seen. Even the dark clouds were shrouded in the sky above the town of Shang Ma, unable to disperse.


    Li Xie could smell a trace of demonic aura in the air, and thought that the Devil Monarch must have made the Devil Clan Martial Cultivator turn Ma Zhen into an empty town.


    When Devil Monarch sees the light of day again, the chaotic world of East Qin Kingdom will become even more tragic.


    At this moment, the Nine Souls Sword inside the scabbard on Li Xie''s back trembled slightly.


    The sound of scattered footsteps came from afar.


    Li Xie and Sun Pei turned around and looked in the direction of the voice. A few aggressive Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s were swaggering towards them.


    Li Xie raised the corner of his mouth, this group of Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s really came at the right time.


    Sun Pei looked at Li Xie and thought the same thing.


    After a while, a few Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s aggressively stood in front of Li Xie and Sun Pei, raising their heads and sizing them up.


    For the past two days, they had been wandering around the town, checking to see if there were any fish that had escaped the net.


    In their eyes, Li Xie and Sun Pei were the fish that had escaped the net.


    The Devil Clan Martial Cultivator in the lead had a pair of triangular eyes, and he looked at Li Xie with a disdainful sneer.


    The leading Devil Clan Martial Cultivator turned his head, and several other Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s walked forward and surrounded Li Xie and Sun Pei.


    At this moment, they were a group of vicious wolves that could barge out their fangs and brandish their claws at any time.


    Little girl, come with us. This boy will soon be a corpse! The leading Devil Clan Martial Cultivator looked at Sun Pei and advised.


    I don''t think so! Sun Pei replied coldly.


    The leading Devil Clan Martial Cultivator frowned. His good intentions were actually rejected, which was simply too despicable.


    The Devil Clan Martial Cultivator who had regained his senses and was leading the group glared at Li Xie. He wanted to vent all of his anger on Li Xie.


    Kid, how do you want to die? Just say it, I will satisfy you! The leading Devil Clan Martial Cultivator said with killing intent.


    Are all your Devil Clan this fierce? Li Xie revealed a terrified expression.


    Of course, our respected Devil Monarch has already returned. In time, the entire area of fifty kilometers of Guangxuan City will belong to us! The leading Devil Clan Martial Cultivator opened his arms wide and roared loudly.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows. Devil Monarch had reunited with the Devil Clan Tribe so quickly.


    Devil Monarch? It should be pretty powerful, right? Li Xie asked curiously.


    Not very strong! It was extremely powerful! None of the Martial Cultivator s within a hundred miles of Guangxuan City are a match for our respected Devil Monarch! The lips of the Devil Clan Martial Cultivator who was leading the way twitched as he said.


    "Ugh ¡­" Can you bring me to see that Devil Monarch you speak of! Li Xie said.


    Humph! Who do you think you are! What qualifications do you have to meet our respected Devil Monarch! The leading Devil Clan Martial Cultivator said with a stern face.


    I must see him! Li Xie''s face darkened as he replied.


    Courting death! With an explosive shout, the leading Devil Clan Martial Cultivator unsheathed his blade and took the opportunity to swing it towards Li Xie''s chest.


    Clang!


    Li Xie unsheathed his sword, the Nine Souls Sword rushed forward and instantly clashed with the blade in the hand of the Devil Clan Martial Cultivator that was leading the group.


    The leading Devil Clan Martial Cultivator glared, as a wave of demonic qi entered the blade in his hand, taking the opportunity to press down, causing the ground under Li Xie''s feet to crack.


    The lead Devil Clan Martial Cultivator smiled coldly. He already knew that Li Xie was only a lower level origin realm Martial Cultivator.


    Brat, with just this little ability of yours, I can turn you into ashes with a flick of my pinky! The lips of the Devil Clan Martial Cultivator who was leading the way twitched as he said.


    Heh! I don''t believe it! Li Xie said calmly.


    Ah!" The demon martial artist who was leading the group retracted his blade, and fiercely slashed at Li Xie''s neck, his strength was heavy, enough to split open a mountain!


    Li Xie stepped forward slightly, and instantly dodged the blade in the hands of the Devil Clan Martial Cultivator in the lead.


    The corners of the leading Devil Clan Martial Cultivator''s mouth twitched, he raised his blade and took the chance to leap into the air.


    The blade tip whistled as it flew towards Li Xie''s vital parts.


    Li Xie waved the Nine Souls Sword in his hands until it was airtight, immediately allowing the leading Devil Clan Martial Cultivator to return empty-handed.


    The leading Devil Clan Martial Cultivator was furious beyond belief. Clenching his blade tightly in both hands, he once again slashed at Li Xie''s neck!


    Clang!


    Following a loud bang, Li Xie descended from the sky and the ground beneath his feet once again cracked.


    The leading Devil Clan Martial Cultivator injected waves of devil energy into the blade, attempting to cut Li Xie and the sword in his hand apart.


    The leading Devil Clan Martial Cultivator laughed coldly, as if he had already seen Li Xie''s bloody and mangled appearance.


    At this time, the leading Devil Clan Martial Cultivator was extremely excited, his eyes completely red.


    Li Xie raised the corner of his mouth, taking the opportunity to awaken the Purple Radiant True Flame inside his body!


    Boom!

    Following the injection of the powerful Elemental Energy into the spirit stone, the spirit beast began to shine brilliantly!


    The leading Devil Clan Martial Cultivator squinted his eyes as the grip on his blade started to tremble.


    The situation had progressed beyond what he had expected, but he was still able to keep a calm expression on his face.


    Hiss!


    The Sword Qi roared, and in an instant, all of the Devil Clan Martial Cultivator surrounding Li Xie and the others were thrown out.


    Weapons scattered on the ground, the killing intent of the Devil Clan Martial Cultivator just now was completely gone.


    The leading Devil Clan Martial Cultivator clenched his teeth and slashed his blade towards Li Xie''s chest. He had already gathered all the devil energy in his body together!


    Bang!


    The leading Devil Clan Martial Cultivator''s entire facial features were twisted together, the blade in his hand had already shattered and was rolling on the ground.


    He retreated backwards in extreme fear, but he was still unable to avoid the destructive power of the Sword Qi!


    With the Nine Souls Sword in hand, Li Xie''s figure flashed, and instantly appeared behind the leading Devil Clan Martial Cultivator.


    The leading Devil Clan Martial Cultivator stopped and looked back, and almost lost his soul from fright.


    Swoosh!


    The Sword Qi pounced towards the leading Devil Clan Martial Cultivator, causing the leading Devil Clan Martial Cultivator to instantly be flipped over and fall onto the ground like a piece of wood.


    Ah!


    The leading Devil Clan Martial Cultivator let out a heart-wrenching scream, his Profound Spirit Martial Veins had already been cut off by the Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi.


    At this moment, the leading Devil Clan Martial Cultivator was trembling all over, like a fish that had landed on the shore and was struggling in death''s door.


    Li Xie held the Nine Souls Sword and quickly walked to the side of the Martial Cultivator who was leading the group. He looked down at the Martial Cultivator who was leading the way with a face as calm as water.


    He had no intention to take the life of the lead Devil Clan Martial Cultivator, as he would make it so that the lead Devil Clan Martial Cultivator would painfully continue to live.


    Sometimes, compared to death, life without hope was the most miserable thing.


    Get lost! Go back and tell your Devil Monarch to come find me at Mounted Horse Town as soon as possible! Li Xie roared.


    The leading Devil Clan Martial Cultivator trembled as he stood up, and looked at Li Xie a few times, to make sure that there was no killing intent in his eyes.


    At this time, the rest of the Devil Clan s who were still alive quickly ran over, and supported the lead Devil Clan Martial Cultivator to walk out.


    Li Xie sheathed his sword. Rather than painstakingly looking for the Devil Monarch, it was better to have the Devil Monarch take the initiative to deliver it to him.


    With Devil Monarch''s status and temper, he believed that he would definitely pay a visit to him.


    These days, he would stay in Mountain-Horse Town and painstakingly cultivate the Heaven''s Rage Art!


    As long as he could master the Rage Heavenly Art, getting rid of the Devil Monarch was just around the corner!


    Several hours later, it was the evening of the second day.


    With the appearance of this group of people, the originally peaceful Town of Saddened Horse once again became bustling with noise and excitement.


    In an instant, some of the birds hiding on the leafy branches were scared away.


    This group of people came from Guangxuan City, and the one leading them was even Guangxuan City City Master, Zhang Jingzhi.


    Zhang Jingzhi originally wanted to wait at the Guangxuan City for Li Xie to voluntarily deliver himself up to him, but Devil Monarch told him to appear as soon as possible and eliminate Li Xie.


    Zhang Jingzhi stood at the entrance of the town, he looked around and saw that the town looked like a wasteland that had been in ruins for a long time.


    Zhang Jingzhi could not help but sigh inside as he still vividly remembered the liveliness of Ma Zhen.


    After collecting his thoughts, Zhang Jingzhi started walking towards the Eastern Lai Inn with big strides, while Li Xie and Sun Pei stayed at the Eastern Lai Inn.


    The Eastern Emergence Inn was originally the busiest inn in the town, but now it was no longer the same.


    Before long, when Zhang Jingzhi stopped again, the Eastern Emergence Inn was already right before his eyes.


    Zhang Jingzhi smiled indifferently, he had to complete the mission given to him by the Devil Monarch.


    Zhang Jingzhi raised his head and looked at the second floor of the Eastcoming Inn, coincidentally meeting Li Xie''s gaze.


    After not seeing him for a few days, Li Xie''s expression was still as determined as ever.


    However, Zhang Jingzhi believed that he would be able to make Li Xie''s eyes dim and lifeless, eventually becoming empty.


    "Whiz!"


    Li Xie jumped out of the window, and instantly stood in front of Zhang Jingzhi.


    Li Xie cupped his fist and saluted Zhang Jingzhi. Zhang Jingzhi was the lord of Guangxuan City after all, and he was a citizen of Guangxuan City.


    Zhang Jingzhi gazed at Li Xie, his face brimming with a faint smile.


    Young Master Li, how did you become so timid? Zhang Jingzhi asked.


    Mayor Zhang, what do you mean by that? Li Xie raised his eyebrows and said.


    You helped the Devil Monarch regain his sight and were afraid of the encirclement and annihilation of famous families and families, so you carefully hid here! Zhang Jingzhi said with a straight face.


    The one who will truly help Devil Monarch see the light of day is not me, but you! Li Xie said.


    What a joke! What a huge joke! I never thought that you, Li Xie, would actually spit blood! Zhang Jingzhi said with a fake smile.


    City Lord Zhang, let''s not waste our time talking to him.


    Right! Let''s attack together! For the sake of the people!


    Kill him! Kill him!


    Zhang Jingzhi squinted his eyes and stared at Li Xie. Unfortunately, he did not see any trace of panic in Li Xie''s eyes.


    This time, not only the few small families in Guangxuan City City had come with him, but also many decent people.


    Even if Li Xie had three heads and six arms, in Zhang Jingzhi''s opinion, it was still very difficult for him to be born.


    Zhang Jingzhi had already ordered the warriors of the Guangxuan City to surround the outskirts of the Town of Horses, ready to attack Li Xie at any time.


    Young Master Li, quickly surrender. You have nowhere to run! Zhang Jingzhi shouted.


    No escape? Why should I run? I''m here to wait for you! Li Xie said as he looked at Zhang Jingzhi.


    City Lord Zhang, you want me to personally take Li Xie''s head off, with his strength, he wouldn''t even be a part of us! The son of the Wang Clan, Wang Tie, stepped forward and said to Zhang Jingzhi.


    Good! Young Master Wang, please finish this quickly! Zhang Jingzhi squinted his eyes and said.


    Wang Tie''s gaze fell on Li Xie. He had long been jealous of Li Xie''s reputation in Guangxuan City.


    As long as he twisted off Li Xie''s head, he would be able to replace Li Xie as the most talented young Martial Cultivator of the Guangxuan City.


    Wang Tie was extremely excited. His eyes were filled with a vicious light.


    Li Xie, your death is imminent! Wang Tie stared at Li Xie and roared.


    Wang Tie, have you been waiting for this day for a long time? Li Xie asked.


    Humph! Don''t think so highly of yourself. You are just an ant in my eyes! Wang Tie rolled his eyes at Li Xie, and said fiercely.


    If I''m an ant, then you''re even inferior to an ant! Li Xie said as the corner of his mouth rose.


    Die! Wang Tie shouted out explosively, and quickly rushed towards Li Xie.


    Wang Tie summoned his saber and gripped it tightly in his hand. The edge of his saber howled like a ferocious beast.


    The blade descended, and the edge of the blade flew across, following that, a deep cut appeared on the ground.


    Li Xie pulled out his Nine Souls Sword s and stepped forward as the sword blade tore the air apart, releasing flames.


    Wang Tie jumped up and took the opportunity to strike towards Li Xie''s chest.


    As long as Li Xie was not able to dodge in time, he would immediately be cut into two, with blood flying everywhere.


    Wang Tie gritted his teeth as he stared at Li Xie, at that moment, the blood in his body was boiling.


    Boom!


    Suddenly, the moment the Nine Souls Sword in Li Xie''s hand clashed with the blade in Wang Tie''s hand, lightning flashed, thunder roared, and black clouds billowed.


    Wang Tie continued to push his big blade forward, attempting to send Li Xie on his way in one go.


    In Wang Tie''s eyes, Li Xie was already a headless corpse!

 C28

    Li Xie calmly waved his Nine Souls Sword, and slowly forced Wang Tie to retreat one step at a time.


    Wang Tie was burning with anger as he gathered all the Elemental Energy in his body in one place.


    At this moment, even if they were to die together, Wang Tie would not hesitate to do so.


    Ah!


    With a bellow from Wang Tie, he exerted his strength into his legs and leapt into the air. He brought his saber down from the sky, the blade blazing with fire.


    Wang Tie was like a fierce tiger descending from the mountain, he rushed towards Li Xie with surging killing intent.


    Wang Tie''s eyes were narrowed into a line, filled with a vicious light.


    Bang!


    As if mountains had collapsed and the earth cracked, the ground around Li Xie also trembled.


    Wang Tie''s mouth twitched, he heard the sound of the Elemental Energy in Li Xie''s body almost drying up.


    This sound was like the music of nature, causing Wang Tie to be in ecstasy, almost bursting into laughter.


    The situation developed as he had expected, and he felt that he had the upper hand.


    Hey! After I kill you, everything that you have in the Guangxuan City will belong to me, including your sister! Wang Tie said coldly.


    Stop daydreaming, this day will never happen! Li Xie poured the Elemental Energy into the Nine Souls Sword and it roared.


    Boom!


    Wang Tie frowned, he had obviously already forced Li Xie to the edge of the cliff, if he pushed Li Xie a little, Li Xie''s body would immediately be smashed into smithereens.


    But Li Xie actually stood up from the cliff''s edge, and the Elemental Energy in his body that was originally almost completely dried up, was also boiling.


    Li Xie''s talent had indeed broadened his horizons, but he was not prepared to call for battle.


    He brandished his broadsword and charged forward, but it was difficult for him to move forward.


    Therefore, Wang Tie put away his broadsword in front of his body to protect himself as he retreated step by step. The grip on his broadsword had already turned numb.


    Li Xie quickly rushed over, scaring Wang Tie so much that he turned pale.


    Swoosh!


    With a flash of the Sword Qi, Wang Tie instantly crashed onto the ground.


    Blood dyed Wang Tie''s body red, and there was also the saber in his hands.


    Li Xie turned to look at Zhang Jingzhi, but to his surprise, he saw a smile flash across Zhang Jingzhi''s lips.


    Everyone attack together! Kill Li Xie!


    Following Zhang Jingzhi''s call for help, the Martial Cultivator s sent by the righteous sects and aristocratic families all surged forward!


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth lifted, the Nine Souls Sword in his hands was as excited as he was.


    Li Xie brandished the Nine Souls Sword, its Sword Qi swept out horizontally, like a gale of wind, the Martial Cultivator pouncing towards him was like pieces of bark that fell off.


    Even so, the Martial Cultivator that was besieging Li Xie crawled up and pounced towards him once more.


    The sound of footsteps and the roar of weapons echoed in the sky above the town.


    Li Xie stepped forward as the Sword Qi whistled out, followed by the sound of his body being torn apart.


    As the voice of the Sword Qi slowly faded, a group of Martial Cultivator s around Li Xie fell to the ground, unable to rise.


    Li Xie turned and glared at Zhang Jingzhi.


    Even though the Martial Cultivator surrounding and attacking Li Xie had all fallen to the ground, Li Xie was not the least bit worried.


    Li Xie sighed with emotion. The reason Zhang Jingzhi was able to become the city master of Guangxuan City for so many years was absolutely not because of his luck.


    There were more than a dozen big and small aristocratic families in Guangxuan City City and their powers were complex and complicated, but all of them recognized Zhang Jingzhi as the city lord of Guangxuan City.


    This time, so many Martial Cultivator and families were willing to follow Zhang Jingzhi to Shang Ma Town. Other than feeling jealousy towards Li Xie, it was Zhang Jingzhi''s might that had played a role.


    City Lord Zhang, the people you brought with you have all fallen to the ground, you should be frowning. Li Xie said as he held the Nine Souls Sword.


    No, I shouldn''t have frowned, I should have applauded instead. They aren''t willing to listen to my commands, I was hoping for you to help me get rid of them all. Zhang Jingzhi said while smiling, he was lamenting how Li Xie was actually unable to see through his thoughts.


    As the City Master of the Guangxuan City, what Zhang Jingzhi wished to see the most was for all the forces other than him to become dispirited.


    City Lord Zhang, your scheming is really deep! Li Xie raised his eyebrows and said.


    The older you are, the more experienced you are. Even though your reputation is not small, you are still too young! Zhang Jingzhi said as her eyebrows jumped.


    I didn''t expect you to be such an arrogant person! Li Xie said.


    Humph! I am not being arrogant and conceited, but full of confidence! Zhang Jingzhi said.


    Try it and you''ll know! Just as he finished speaking, Li Xie rushed towards Zhang Jingzhi with the Nine Souls Sword in hand.


    Zhang Jingzhi stomped his feet on the ground, his body as light as a swallow, and he instantly dodged to the side of the sword in Li Xie''s hand.


    When Zhang Jingzhi landed on the ground, he had already summoned out a Windfire Fan and tightly held it in his hand.


    The Windfire Fan was a medium-grade heaven-step weapon, something that ordinary people would not be able to grasp.


    Zhang Jingzhi was now a Martial Cultivator of the upper levels of the Profound Realm, with a plentiful amount of Elemental Energy.


    Zhang Jingzhi stared coldly at Li Xie, and his eyes began to grow colder and colder.


    Once upon a time, Zhang Jingzhi still wanted to let Li Xie live; only in this way would Li Xie be able to continue to be a pawn in his hands.


    However, the situation had developed in a way that exceeded his expectations. If Li Xie was given enough time to cultivate the Rage Heaven''s Path Divine Art, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    And today, at this time, Zhang Jingzhi would do his best to send Li Xie on his way.


    This day next year will be the day of your death! With a roar, Zhang Jingzhi waved his Firestorm Fan.


    Under the pouring of Zhang Jingzhi''s Elemental Energy s into the fan, the flames surged towards Li Xie.


    Wherever the flames from the fan fell, it would be pitch-black.


    The corner of Zhang Jingzhi''s mouth twitched, and he poured another wave of Elemental Energy into the Windfire Fan.


    Under Zhang Jingzhi''s powerful offense, Li Xie could only use his Nine Souls Sword to counter.


    Zhang Jingzhi''s blood was boiling, like an angry Strange Beast.


    As the wind and fire fans whistled, streak after streak of flames covered the sky and fell toward Li Xie.


    Li Xie raised the Nine Souls Sword and injected it inside. The Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi rushed towards the Firestorm Fan''s flames.


    BOOM! BOOM! "Boom!


    The flames of the fan scattered all around, burning the trees, burning the stones, burning the houses.


    Zhang Jingzhi suddenly jumped up and swung the Firestorm Fan at Li Xie''s neck. As long as Li Xie was slightly slower, his head would immediately land on the ground.


    Since he had decided to take action himself, Zhang Jingzhi would not give Li Xie the chance to catch his breath.


    Zhang Jingzhi knew that Li Xie had extraordinary talent. If he was given the chance, he would be digging his own grave.


    Hiss!


    The Wind Fire Fan in Zhang Jingzhi''s hands bit at the Nine Souls Sword in Li Xie''s hands, releasing fire.


    Zhang Jingzhi''s eyes had already narrowed into a line, surging with killing intent.


    Li Xie turned his body, taking the opportunity to retract the Nine Souls Sword, and thrusted towards Zhang Jingzhi''s chest.


    Zhang Jingzhi laughed coldly. Even though Li Xie''s speed of swinging the sword was extremely fast, in his eyes, he was still extremely slow.


    Zhang Jingzhi waved his Wind Fire Fan upwards, just in time to block the Nine Souls Sword''s blade.


    Swoosh!


    Once again, the flames roared out, and Li Xie could only withdraw his Nine Souls Sword and retreat.


    Zhang Jingzhi rushed forward quickly, and took the chance to wave his fire and wind fan tightly, causing the surrounding air to be torn apart one after another.


    Flames pounced towards Li Xie one after another, and the ground around Li Xie was left with traces of fire.


    With a tap of his feet, he instantly appeared behind Zhang Jingzhi.


    Zhang Jingzhi suddenly turned and stared at Li Xie, his eyes still calm and composed.


    Young Master Li, your skills are indeed not bad, but it''s a pity that you touched me! Zhang Jingzhi said coldly.


    So what if I meet you? Sooner or later, we will fight! Li Xie replied calmly.

 C29

    Zhang Jingzhi was infuriated, and his eyes became colder and colder.


    Humph! Don''t overestimate yourself. If it wasn''t for me turning a blind eye, you simply wouldn''t be the most talented young Martial Cultivator in Guangxuan City! The corner of Zhang Jingzhi''s mouth twitched as he said.


    I can still see through you. You want me to be the target of public criticism. Li Xie said.


    "Ugh ¡­" Young Master Li, you are really smart! Zhang Jingzhi said.


    Clang!


    With the Nine Souls Sword in hand, Li Xie descended from the sky and swung his sword towards Zhang Jingzhi''s neck.


    Zhang Jingzhi turned his body slightly, and the blade of the Nine Souls Sword brushed past his shoulder.


    Zhang Jingzhi''s mouth twitched, he raised his leg and kicked Li Xie''s abdomen.


    Just now, Li Xie had spent a lot of Elemental Energy s to deal with the surrounding Martial Cultivator.


    Just as Li Xie landed, Zhang Jingzhi waved the Firestorm Way fan and appeared in front of him.


    As if he was being pressured by a mountain, Zhang Jingzhi forced himself to jump off the cliff step by step.


    Bang!


    Zhang Jingzhi fanned the fire and wind down, and Li Xie dodged to the side just in time. However, a deep crack had already appeared on the ground that he was lying on just now.


    Zhang Jingzhi raised his brows, sighing to himself that he had to use all of his strength to deal with Li Xie.


    He had originally thought that he would only need to use half of his strength to kill Li Xie.


    He slowly realized that Li Xie''s rate of growth and recovery was astonishing, and her talent was indeed extraordinary.


    Break!


    With an explosive roar, the entire town''s ground trembled several times.


    Zhang Jingzhi waved his Firestorm Fan and headed towards Li Xie''s chest with the force of a hot knife through butter.


    Li Xie protected the Nine Souls Sword in front of him and temporarily stopped the Windfire Fan''s attack.


    The corner of Zhang Jingzhi''s mouth twitched, and he bent down to throw the Firestorm Fan at Li Xie''s legs.


    As if ten thousand arrows had been shot at once, Zhang Jingzhi allowed his attacks to become more and more ferocious, to the point where he did not hold back at all.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    The ground beneath Li Xie''s feet was flipped over, and dust flew everywhere.


    Zhang Jingzhi leapt out, and while Li Xie''s footsteps were still unstable, he once again used the Windfire Fan to swing towards Li Xie''s chest.


    Clang!


    When the Nine Souls Sword and the flaming fan clashed, a loud sound followed.


    Li Xie retreated step by step while holding onto the Nine Souls Sword, his right hand trembling slightly.


    Zhang Jingzhi''s Martial Cultivator realm had always been above Li Xie''s, and with the Windfire Fan in his hands, he had gained the upper hand in just a few moves.


    Zhang Jingzhi laughed coldly, he knew that there were not many Elemental Energy left in Li Xie''s body.


    In a split-second, Zhang Jingzhi''s figure flashed, the Windfire Fan in his hand had already appeared in front of Li Xie.


    Boom!


    Another loud sound rang out, and the ground beneath Li Xie and Li Xie''s feet had already cracked.


    Zhang Jingzhi cut the wind and fire fan downwards, attempting to split the Nine Souls Sword and Li Xie in half.


    Li Xie could hear the sound of the Elemental Energy burning inside Zhang Jingzhi''s body, like the sound of flowing water.


    Zhang Jingzhi squinted at Li Xie. He wanted to see how long Li Xie could last.


    "Whiz!"


    Zhang Jingzhi retrieved the Firestorm Way fan and took the opportunity to stab his Firestorm Fan into Li Xie''s chest.


    At that moment, the Firestorm Way was just like a sharp sword in Zhang Jingzhi''s hand!


    As he got closer and closer to Li Xie''s heart, Zhang Jingzhi''s expression became more and more excited.


    Clang!


    Zhang Jingzhi''s speed was extremely fast, although Li Xie had already taken a step back, he was still shocked by the fire and wind fan''s attack and was sent flying.


    In the blink of an eye, Zhang Jingzhi did not wait for Li Xie to stand up and raised his Firestorm Fan to descend on Li Xie''s head.


    In Zhang Jingzhi''s eyes, Li Xie was already a corpse.


    Clang!


    Li Xie jumped up before the Firestorm Way fan landed, using his left hand to support himself as he took the opportunity to wave the Nine Souls Sword towards Zhang Jingzhi''s chest.


    Zhang Jingzhi raised his eyebrows, he did not expect Li Xie to still have the strength to counterattack.


    Swoosh!


    Zhang Jingzhi swung the fan towards Li Xie and countless of flames rushed towards Li Xie, as if a pair of hands was pulling him down to the ground.


    Looking at Li Xie''s injured body, Zhang Jingzhi laughed with satisfaction.


    Just then, Zhang Jingzhi raised his head and looked at the second floor of the Eastcoming Inn. He coincidentally saw Sun Pei.


    At this time, Sun Pei''s beautiful face had already turned pale, she could see that half of her feet had already landed outside the cliff.


    The corner of Zhang Jingzhi''s mouth twitched, he decided to torture Li Xie as much as possible.


    Die was not a bad thing sometimes, but to live a life worse than death was definitely the most painful thing in this world.


    Both of Zhang Jingzhi''s legs exerted force at the same time, and he suddenly jumped into the air, ready to ravage Sun Pei.


    Only then would he be able to see Li Xie''s heart-wrenching look. It must be very interesting, and at this thought, Zhang Jingzhi was extremely excited.


    Get lost!


    Zhang Jingzhi looked down and actually saw Li Xie rushing towards him with his Nine Souls Sword.


    Just now, he had clearly seen Li Xie''s exhausted face, but how could he still jump up!


    The corner of Zhang Jingzhi''s mouth twitched. Since Li Xie wished to court death wholeheartedly, he could not let Li Xie return empty-handed.


    As the master of the Guangxuan City, Zhang Jingzhi had always liked the beauty of adulthood.


    Kill!


    Instantly, the moment the two extremely strong Elemental Energy collided, the sky and earth changed color.


    Zhang Jingzhi''s vision was blurry at first, but after a while, he slowly started to see rays of light.


    Rumbling sounds could be heard, sometimes rapid, sometimes slow.


    He looked around and found himself lying on the cold ground.


    Aside from the traces of raging flames on the ground, there were also the criss-crossing footsteps of Sword Qi.


    Zhang Jingzhi supported himself up with his left hand and looked for Li Xie''s figure.


    Just then, Zhang Jingzhi saw Li Xie''s determined eyes.


    Li Xie approached Zhang Jingzhi step by step with the Nine Souls Sword in his hand. It was the same for them, their bodies were riddled with scars.


    Zhang Jingzhi was prepared to pour more of the Elemental Energy into the Windfire Fan in his hands, but he found that he was unable to condense any more Elemental Energy in the near future.


    Zhang Jingzhi raised his eyebrows, maybe it was heaven''s will, god prepared to let Li Xie live for a few more days.


    Young Master Li, I guess you got lucky today, I have to go back to the Guangxuan City to settle some important matters, I don''t have time to accompany you, I will wait for your return! Zhang Jingzhi laughed and said, then turned and ran back to the town entrance.


    When Zhang Jingzhi''s footsteps completely disappeared, he could no longer hold on and sat unsteadily on the ground.


    Li Xie placed the Nine Souls Sword into the sword sheath on his back and let out a long breath.


    Zhang Jingzhi was the most difficult Martial Cultivator to deal with with with his Guangxuan City.


    Bang!


    Sun Pei jumped out of the window and rushed over to Li Xie''s side. Seeing Li Xie''s body covered in wounds, her heart felt as if it was being stabbed by a knife.


    Sun Pei supported Li Xie up, just now it was just too dangerous.


    Li Xie smiled at Sun Pei, indicating that she was fine.


    In the blink of an eye, three days later, Guangxuan City City was filled with the shine of the sun, and the place was still bustling with noise and excitement.


    Inside the Guangxuan City, Zhang Jingzhi was sitting on a chair in the study, sipping tea.


    He had already ordered some people to closely guard the exits and entrances of all kinds of Guangxuan City, so as to welcome the appearance of Li Xie.


    With Li Xie''s personality, Zhang Jingzhi believed that he would definitely return to the Guangxuan City.


    Zhang Jingzhi had already set up an inescapable net, waiting for Li Xie to appear.


    Zhang Jingzhi felt that even if Li Xie was a cat and had nine lives, as long as he took a step into the Guangxuan City, he would definitely not be able to escape.


    The fragrance of tea lingered around him as the corners of Zhang Jingzhi''s mouth rose leisurely.


    Bang!

 C30

    Suddenly, the door to the study room slammed shut, scaring Zhang Jingzhi out of his wits.


    Zhang Jingzhi looked around with wide eyes. Other than him, there was no one else in the study room, not even the sound of the wind could be heard.


    Zhang Jingzhi couldn''t help but raise his eyebrows, as he felt that it must be Li Xie who was causing trouble.


    However, under his meticulous planning, as long as Li Xie appeared, he would definitely not be able to escape his notice.


    Zhang Jingzhi clenched his fists, he had regained his composure as the mayor.


    At this time, Zhang Jingzhi waved towards the door to the study room, and it opened.


    Zhang Jingzhi quickly walked to the entrance of the study, and looked around. He couldn''t help but frown, because the City Lord''s Mansion was very quiet.


    Whether it was the officers of the City Lord''s Mansion or the servants, he could not even hear the slightest of footsteps.


    What happened to the City Lord''s Mansion? It was completely different from what he was familiar with.


    Li Xie, are you here? Hurry up and show yourself! Zhang Jingzhi roared.


    But, Zhang Jingzhi did not appear even after waiting for a long time.


    Zhang Jingzhi frowned as he paced back and forth in the empty space outside the study. He was sure that Li Xie was nearby.


    When Zhang Jingzhi stopped in his tracks, he had already summoned the Firestorm Fan in his hand.


    The corner of Zhang Jingzhi''s mouth twitched. He knew that Guangxuan City was his territory so he did not believe that Li Xie would be able to cause such a ruckus in the city.


    Bang!


    Zhang Jingzhi turned around and saw that the newly appointed commander of the City Lord''s Mansion was lying on the ground right beside him.


    Zhang Jingzhi quickly walked next to the commander of the City Lord''s Mansion. He saw a trace of lingering fear in the commander''s eyes.


    Ah!" Li Xie, hurry up and come out! Zhang Jingzhi crazily roared.


    City Lord Zhang, long time no see.


    Zhang Jingzhi looked over to see Li Xie standing on the rooftop in front of him.


    Zhang Jingzhi laughed coldly, as if everything was within his grasp. He would not let Li Xie feel that he had the upper hand.


    Li Xie looked down at Zhang Jingzhi. He had seen all of the preparations Zhang Jingzhi had made to welcome his return.


    It was a pity that Li Xie wouldn''t let him succeed, and he even wanted to give Zhang Jingzhi a pleasant surprise.


    Although Zhang Jingzhi was the master of the Guangxuan City, he had Li Xie''s eyes and ears inside the City Lord''s Mansion.


    Under the coordination of eyes, ears, eyes, and ears, the City Lord''s Mansion soldiers that were listening to Zhang Jingzhi had all been dealt with, while the City Lord''s Mansion servants had all been dismissed.


    Not long ago, there was a halo of light that enveloped the entire study room, causing Zhang Jingzhi to become deaf and not be able to hear the voices coming from outside.


    When Zhang Jingzhi realized this, his great City Lord''s Mansion was already gone.


    Zhang Jingzhi raised his head and looked at Li Xie with a gaze of contempt, as if he was the lord of a city.


    Even if he had lost the initiative, Zhang Jingzhi did not think that Li Xie could escape his Five Fingers Mountain.


    Zhang Jingzhi clenched his right hand, the Windfire Fan emitted a sharp light as it was gripped tightly by his hand.


    After three days of restoration, the Firestorm Fan had regained its previous murderous aura.


    This time, Zhang Jingzhi was prepared to use the Firestorm Fan to cut off Li Xie''s head, causing his soul to dissipate.


    Li Xie, I never thought you would actually have the guts to come and throw your life away! Zhang Jingzhi said.


    Since you''re so sincere in inviting me, I naturally cannot give you face. Moreover, I''m not here to throw away my life! Li Xie said.


    Humph! You were lucky when you were in Ma Zhen that day, but today I will do my best! Zhang Jingzhi said as he stared at Li Xie.


    Make your move! Li Xie said calmly, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.


    Zhang Jingzhi''s mouth twitched, he quickly raised the fan in his hand and threw it at Li Xie.


    Everywhere Zhang Jingzhi went, under the havoc of the Windfire Fan, was a complete mess.


    As long as Li Xie was sent to the west, even if he had to pay the entire Guangxuan City, so what?


    The flames of the Windfire Fan screamed out, and pounced towards Li Xie in unison.


    Li Xie dodged and shifted, all of them dodging the incoming flames.


    In a split-second, Li Xie quickly arrived behind Zhang Jingzhi, Nine Souls Sword in hand.


    A sword roared out, the Sword Qi was like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, the sound was extremely powerful!


    Zhang Jingzhi''s brows twitched. He did not turn around, but rather, threw the Firestorm Way Fan backwards.


    The Firestorm Way fan was like a huge dragon, opening its mouth wide and biting towards Li Xie.


    At this moment and at this time, Zhang Jingzhi was like a Strange Beast that loved to kill.


    Clang!


    In the instant that the Nine Souls Sword and the Firestorm Fan clashed, thunder and lightning flashed and the wind howled.


    Zhang Jingzhi poured a gust of Elemental Energy into the Windfire Fan in his hands, causing the Windfire Fan to shine even brighter as flames rushed towards Li Xie.


    Li Xie stomped his feet, taking the opportunity to leap into the air while holding onto the Nine Souls Sword.


    Zhang Jingzhi looked up, and a burst of killing intent surged towards Li Xie.


    Then, Zhang Jingzhi waved his fan and suddenly jumped up, once again sending the fan flying towards Li Xie.


    Even if Li Xie was extremely talented, Zhang Jingzhi still did not believe that Li Xie could hold on for long.


    His Martial Cultivator was above Li Xie, that was the basis of his pride.


    Zhang Jingzhi''s attacks were like the wind, causing Li Xie''s surroundings to be wreaked havoc by the flames.


    Zhang Jingzhi coldly stared at Li Xie, his eyes were like many sharp arrows piercing towards Li Xie''s heart.


    Boom!


    Under the call of the Windfire Fan, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky towards Li Xie.


    With the Nine Souls Sword in hand, Li Xie dodged the lightning bolt that fell from the sky and rushed in front of Zhang Jingzhi.


    Zhang Jingzhi''s face became uglier and uglier, until he looked even more sinister.


    Swoosh!


    Several rays of Sword Qi swept out horizontally, instantly causing all of the flames that pounced towards Li Xie to be completely extinguished.


    Zhang Jingzhi raised his eyebrows. The battle between him and Li Xie had just begun.


    The corner of Zhang Jingzhi''s mouth twitched, he swung the Windfire Fan and descended towards Li Xie''s head.


    The flames from the Firestorm Way fan poured out, preparing to burn Li Xie into nothingness.


    Li Xie clenched the Nine Souls Sword tightly with both hands, causing the Nine Souls Sword to shine with an unfathomable light.


    The Nine Souls Sword and Li Xie both had the same personality. The stronger the opponent, the more they would fight!


    Li Xie! Your time of death has come! Zhang Jingzhi roared crazily.


    Clang!


    Zhang Jingzhi frowned, the fire and wind fan that was releasing flames that was like a tide, was cruelly rejected outside the door by the Nine Souls Sword.


    Just as Zhang Jingzhi was about to continue pouring the Elemental Energy into the Windfire Fan, the Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi had already arrived in front of him.


    In an instant, Zhang Jingzhi''s eyes seemed to be covered by a layer of mist.


    This feeling was extremely bad, but Zhang Jingzhi was already unable to let himself gain the upper hand.


    Ah!


    Zhang Jingzhi waved his Firestorm Fan and retreated backwards. He could only rely on his ears to guide him in escaping from the encirclement of the Nine Souls Sword s and Sword Qi.


    At this moment, Zhang Jingzhi no longer had the aura of a city lord.


    Never in his dreams would Zhang Jingzhi ever imagine that such a day would happen to him, and he was in such a sorry state.


    Only after the Sword Qi had gradually dissipated did Zhang Jingzhi''s eyes manage to see his surroundings clearly.


    He could not wait to look around, the enormous City Lord''s Mansion had already changed beyond recognition.


    Zhang Jingzhi''s face flushed red, he glared at Li Xie.


    All of you, come out!


    Amidst Zhang Jingzhi''s shouts, dozens of Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s emerged from the ground, followed by bursts of killing intent.


    These dozens of Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s had already waited for a long time, and were all meticulously prepared by Zhang Jingzhi.

 C31

    Under the guidance of Zhang Jingzhi''s eyes, dozens of Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s surrounded Li Xie, like a group of ox heads and horses.


    Zhang Jingzhi held his head high, he felt that this was the only way to gain the upper hand.


    Dozens of Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s were all low-level origin realm Martial Cultivator s. With just a single order from him, tens of Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s would transform into vicious wolves!


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth raised, he didn''t think that Zhang Jingzhi had the upper hand.


    Even though Zhang Jingzhi had the numbers advantage, his eyes were still firm and resolute.


    Mayor Zhang, are you trying to bully him with numbers? Li Xie asked.


    Hehe, so what if I bully him with numbers? It''s fine as long as you die! Zhang Jingzhi replied with a fake smile.


    At this moment, Zhang Jingzhi seemed to have become a completely different person. He threw his false identity as the City Lord of Guangxuan City to the side.


    Mayor Zhang, I really didn''t expect you to be so despicable and shameless! Li Xie shouted.


    So what if he was shameless? After killing you, everyone will know that you are a mortal sinner! The corner of Zhang Jingzhi''s mouth twitched as he said.


    You are the sinner of the Transcendents! Zhang Jingzhi stared at Li Xie coldly and said.


    City Lord Zhang, stop wasting your breath on him.


    That''s right! Hurry up and give the order!


    Humph! Kill!


    In the blink of an eye, dozens of Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s summoned a blade in their hands and attacked Li Xie together.


    The blade edge whizzed past Li Xie''s ear, if Li Xie was even a little bit slower, he would have been chopped into minced meat.


    Zhang Jingzhi stood not far from them, with his hands on his waist as he watched calmly. He was waiting to see the moment Li Xie''s head landed on the ground.


    After he killed Li Xie, he would hang his head by Guangxuan City''s city gate for three days and three nights.


    Only by doing this could he feel satisfied, and let the Devil Monarch feel his loyalty.


    "Hiss ¡­" "Hiss ¡­"


    Under the siege of dozens of Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s, Li Xie''s entire body was already injured.


    Zhang Jingzhi saw all of these, so he changed his mind. When Li Xie was completely exhausted, he would step forward and personally chop off Li Xie''s head.


    At this time, Zhang Jingzhi''s eyes were already red, like a Strange Beast that thirsted for life!


    Dozens of Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s channeled demonic Qi into the blades in their hands, causing the blades to become even sharper.


    Boom ¡­


    The blade howled out, and everywhere it went, it was filled with wounds and ruins.


    Li Xie jumped into the air with the Nine Souls Sword in his hand.


    Dozens of Devil Clan Martial Cultivator raised their heads and glared at Li Xie, and then they all rose up from the ground.


    Bang!


    Dozens of blades clashed with the Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi, causing the entire City Lord''s Mansion to shake.


    Li Xie''s figure flashed, his feet steadily landed on the rooftop behind him.


    Several tens of Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s were like a pack of evil wolves as they charged forward once again. Raising the blades in their hands, they kicked off their feet and soared into the sky.


    Li Xie raised his brows. Dozens of s surrounded him like a black cloud, and were getting closer and closer to him.


    The blade howled like a violent storm, which was enough to make Li Xie unable to dodge.


    Under the combined attack of dozens of Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s, Li Xie seemed to be unable to find a way to counterattack.


    Zhang Jingzhi was beaming with joy, he felt that Li Xie was already extremely close to the place where his head landed.


    Zhang Jingzhi began to rub his hands together, and slowly walked towards Li Xie.


    Infuriated!


    In that moment of life and death, Li Xie scattered the Nine Souls Sword all around.


    BOOM! "Boom!


    The Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi, under the assistance of the Infuriated Heaven Arts, became even more ferocious.


    Several tens of Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s instantly panicked. They could only watch as the blade in their hands turned into ashes, and disappeared along with the wind.


    Several tens of Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s turned around and retreated, but they were already a step too late.


    The of the Nine Souls Sword immediately surrounded them and tore them apart.


    Ah ¡­


    The roars of Sword Qi and the screams of the Devil Clan Martial Cultivator resounded in the air above Guangxuan City and the waves of attacks started again before it had even calmed down.


    What followed after was the falling corpse of the Devil Clan Martial Cultivator, which eventually fell to the ground.


    Zhang Jingzhi stopped in his tracks in extreme fear, his legs already trembling.


    At this moment, he could only see the Sword Qi shuttling back and forth.


    Zhang Jingzhi forced himself to calm down and retreated step by step.


    Boom ¡­


    A loud noise pierced through the clouds, followed by a wave of Sword Qi that flew towards Zhang Jingzhi.


    Zhang Jingzhi anxiously injected all the Elemental Energy in his body into the Wind Fire Fan, causing the Wind Fire Fan to release flames towards the Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi.


    But it was to no avail. The flames emitted by the fan were all devoured by the Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi, leaving nothing behind.


    Ah!


    As Zhang Jingzhi''s blood-curdling screams resounded in the air above the City Lord''s Mansion, he was uprooted.


    Bang!


    In an instant, Zhang Jingzhi fell from the sky and when he landed, his eyes were filled with chaos.


    The Firestorm Way fan in Zhang Jingzhi''s hand was already broken beyond repair, completely devoid of its former sharpness.


    Zhang Jingzhi wanted to tightly hold onto the Firestorm Way fan, but the moment he used his strength, his entire body would spasm, and the Firestorm Way fan would roll down to the side.


    At this moment, Zhang Jingzhi could already hear his own heartbeat.


    With Nine Souls Sword in hand, Li Xie walked to Zhang Jingzhi''s side quickly and looked down at him.


    Zhang Jingzhi struggled to raise his hand and pointed at Li Xie with a trembling finger.


    I didn''t expect you to be able to cultivate the Rage Heavenly Art in such a short time! Zhang Jingzhi said with a trembling voice.


    I will only anger the first layer of the Heaven''s Mandate, but it is enough to deal with you! Li Xie said.


    Hehe! I will be waiting for you at Yama Minamiya''s place. Devil Monarch will soon send you here to accompany me, even if you learn the Rage Heavenly Art, it will be useless! Zhang Jingzhi screamed at the top of his lungs.


    Where is Devil Monarch? Li Xie asked.


    Zhang Jingzhi did not reply to Li Xie''s question. Instead, he gradually closed his eyes.


    Li Xie raised the Nine Souls Sword in his hands high up, the sword blade emitting cold light!


    If you want to hurry up and die, I''ll grant you that wish. Devil Monarch is located in the Ten Thousand Void Mountain and is only five days away from the Guangxuan City! Suddenly, Zhang Jingzhi opened his eyes and said to Li Xie.


    Hiss!


    When the Nine Souls Sword landed, Zhang Jingzhi was beheaded.


    Several hours later, it was already afternoon of the second day.


    With the help of someone, the citizens of Guangxuan City all knew that their city lord had pledged allegiance to Devil Monarch, the.


    He would rather die for what he did, Zhang Jingzhi had already lost his life to Li Xie''s sword.


    Everyone had recommended that Li Xie become the City Lord of Guangxuan City, they were prepared to play East Qin Kingdom Imperial Family, but only the Royal Family would approve, but Li Xie rejected them without hesitation.


    With Li Xie''s support, the Fu Clan''s Patriarch from the south became the city lord of Guangxuan City.


    The original City Lord of Guangxuan City had already been destroyed, and the Fu Mansion had become a temporary City Lord''s Mansion.


    In the living room of Fu Mansion, all the well-known figures in the Guangxuan City were present.


    No one knew where the Wan Kong Mountain that Zhang Jingzhi spoke of was.


    Li Xie stood at the center of the Fu Mansion''s living room with Sun Pei at his side.


    Li Xie looked at the crowd, and everyone seemed to be worried.


    They had long heard of the vicious name of the Devil Clan Devil Monarch. When Devil Monarch saw the light of day again, he would definitely destroy the entire East Qin Kingdom.


    Young Master Li, there is someone seeking an audience outside the door!


    Invite him in!


    After a while, a travel worn middle-aged man stood in front of Li Xie.


    Li Xie sized up the middle-aged man who stood in front of him and felt that he looked familiar.

 C32

    Suddenly, a place that was surrounded by spirit energy appeared before Li Xie''s eyes.


    He immediately frowned, he knew where this middle-aged man came from.


    The middle-aged man cupped his fists and bowed to Li Xie. After travelling for such a long distance, he was slightly exhausted.


    Who are you? Where did it come from? Fu Feng looked at the middle aged man and asked.


    Young Master Li, do you still remember me? The middle aged man looked at Li Xie and asked.


    Of course I remember, a few days ago in the Forgotten Tribe, you were the one who praised the young master of the West Wind Family! Li Xie said.


    Those have already changed. I hope that Young Master Li will let bygones be bygones and save our Forgotten Tribe! The middle-aged man frowned and said.


    After hearing what the middle-aged man said, Li Xie subconsciously looked at Sun Pei. Although Sun Pei did not have a good impression of the Forgotten Tribe, they were still spirit races.


    What happened to the Forgotten Tribe? Sun Pei took a step forward and asked.


    Little miss, the Devil Clan has already occupied the Forgotten Tribe, I was only able to escape from the Forgotten Tribe and enter the Guangxuan City after risking my life for the sake of everyone! The middle-aged man said.


    Li Xie''s brows furrowed, his Devil Clan actually attacked the Forgotten Tribe so quickly.


    Sun Pei turned her face to the side as she looked at Li Xie, hesitating as to whether or not she should speak.


    Alright, I''ll head to Forgotten Tribe now! Li Xie said resolutely.


    As long as Sun Pei looked at her, Li Xie would be able to understand what she was thinking in her heart.


    Thank you, Young Master Li... Before he finished speaking, the middle-aged man''s vision went dark and he fell to the ground.


    Two days later, Li Xie and Sun Pei arrived at the Forgotten Tribe, day and night.


    The Forgotten Tribe was filled with ruins. The people of Forgotten Tribe were nowhere to be seen, and the air was filled with a heavy and lifeless air.


    The Forgotten Tribe was like a ruin, a ruin that had existed for more than a hundred years.


    Li Xie and Sun Pei walked on the main street of Forgotten Tribe, looking all around for any traces left behind by the Devil Clan.


    But after searching once, the Devil Clan had not left any traces, just like how it had never appeared in the Forgotten Tribe.


    No one could tell them what exactly happened to the Forgotten Tribe.


    Li Xie turned his face to look at Sun Pei. Even though Sun Pei looked to be the same as usual, Li Xie could feel the urgency in his heart.


    She was the granddaughter of the Patriarch of the Spirit Race, and the people of the Forgotten Tribe were her family.


    It was not clear whether her family was still alive or not. One could only imagine how terrible her mood must have been.


    But Sun Pei was not an ordinary girl, she did not like others to worry about her, she would rather shoulder it on her own.


    Whoosh ¡­


    Suddenly, a voice resonated in Li Xie and Sun Pei''s ears.


    Li Xie and Sun Pei almost stopped at the same time, they looked for the source of the sound, but could not see anyone or the figure of a Strange Beast.


    Li Xie and Sun Pei looked at each other for a moment. They both thought that the voice they heard earlier was not an illusion.


    The empty Forgotten Tribe became even quieter, and even the sound of the breeze could be heard clearly.


    Bang!


    Just then, the Six Tailed Mountain Cat descended from the skies in front of Li Xie and Li Xie.


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth raised. The appearance of the Six Tailed Mountain Cat was extremely important to him.


    The Six Tailed Mountain Cat deliberately pretended to be fierce, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws from time to time. Unexpectedly, Li Xie remained calm and collected.


    Since that was the case, the Six Tailed Mountain Cat stopped its ferocious act.


    Sun Pei glanced at Li Xie. It seemed that the two of them knew each other already.


    It should be on the experiential learning peak, because the place where the Six Tailed Mountain Cats frequently appeared was the experiential learning peak.


    Brother Six-Tailed, you must know where the people of Forgotten Tribe have gone to, right? Li Xie asked after bowing to the Six Tailed Mountain Cat.


    Yes, I know that the people of Forgotten Tribe have all been captured and taken to the Thousand Air Mountain! The Six Tailed Mountain Cat said.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows, the people of the Forgotten Tribe had actually all been captured and taken to the Thousand Air Mountain.


    Wan Kong Mountain was the home of the Devil Monarch, Li Xie really wanted to completely destroy it.


    Where is the Thousand Void Mountain? Sun Pei asked anxiously, the expression on her face had already become the truest emotion in her heart.


    The Thousand Void Mountain is at the end of the Forgotten Tribe! The Six Tailed Mountain Cat said.


    End? The Forgotten Tribe wasn''t that big or small, but where would the end be?


    Sun Pei surveyed her surroundings, she still could not see any clues.


    Brother Six-Tailed, don''t intentionally keep us in suspense. I think you must know where the end of the Forgotten Tribe is! Li Xie said.


    Un, that''s right, all of you jump on my back, I will take you to the end of Forgotten Tribe! The Six Tailed Mountain Cat said.


    Li Xie leapt up while holding Sun Pei''s hand, and then landed steadily on the back of the Six Tailed Mountain Cat.


    Although the last time it exchanged blows with Li Xie, the Six Tailed Mountain Cat''s six tails had all shattered, and after this period of repair, its tails had already regrown.


    Even though it had been reborn, it no longer possessed the might it once had.


    The Six Tailed Mountain Cat waved its tail and soared into the sky like a pair of wings.


    The Six Tailed Mountain Cat brought Li Xie and Sun Pei through layers of clouds, back to the Training Peak.


    A thought suddenly appeared in Li Xie''s mind, it was very possible that the Thousand Void Mountain was actually close to the Exquisite Mountain.


    Even though Li Xie had said that Sun Pei was above the mountain peak, the beast Qi still lingered around them, to the point that it was like a shadow following them.


    It was daytime now, but the cold wind was still blowing.


    The Six-Tailed Mountain Cat''s huge body was like a black cloud. No matter where it flew, the entire place would be shrouded in a black haze.


    Moments later, the Six Tailed Mountain Cat landed in a spacious area on the experiential learning peak.


    Li Xie and Sun Pei jumped down from the back of the Six Tailed Mountain Cat, and landed steadily on the ground.


    The Six Tailed Mountain Cat lazily stretched its waist and carried Li Xie and Sun Pei up the training mountain. It was not an easy task.


    This was the experiential learning peak, its territory. It was familiar with every inch of land.


    Under the indication of the Six Tailed Mountain Cat, Li Xie and Sun Pei looked towards the southeast.


    It was located in the southeast direction, around ten meters away from Li Xie and his group.


    The stone tablet towered into the clouds, and there were even dozens of strange characters engraved on it.


    There was still mist on both sides of the stone monument. The cold wind blew gently and the mist swayed with it.


    Li Xie and Sun Pei walked to the front of the monument at the same time, raised their heads and looked carefully at the monument from top to bottom.


    This monolith was already quite old, and aside from the characters on the monolith, there was also the vicissitudes of life.


    This stone tablet was the intersection that led to the Thousand Void Mountain! The Six Tailed Mountain Cat said.


    Li Xie turned to look at the Six Tailed Mountain Cat and he heard a hint of worry in its voice.


    The Six Tailed Mountain Cat definitely knew that the Devil Monarch had already returned to the world. Moreover, the Devil Monarch was located in the Ten Thousand Sky Mountain, and the Ten Thousand Sky Mountain was very close to the experiential learning peak.


    How can I use this stone tablet to head to the Thousand Void Mountain? Li Xie stared at the stone tablet and said.


    Brother Six-Tailed, you should know how to use this stone tablet to head to the Thousand Void Mountain, right? Sun Pei turned to look at the Six Tailed Mountain Cat and said.


    Sorry, little girl, I really don''t know how to pass this stone tablet and head to the Thousand Void Mountain. As soon as he said that, the Six Tails Mountain Cat''s eyes held a trace of a sigh.


    Sun Pei did not express her disappointment on her face, she merely looked away.


    At this time, the corner of Li Xie''s mouth raised, he had thought of a possible method.


    When he was in the Nine Desolations Pavilion, the Raging Heaven Art had always suppressed the Devil Monarch, so he might be able to use it to pass through the stone tablet and head towards the Thousand Void Mountain.

 C33

    Sun Pei turned her face to look at Li Xie, she knew that Li Xie must have thought of a way.


    The Six Tailed Mountain Cat slowly walked to Li Xie''s side. It also wanted to know what Li Xie''s method was.


    Wankong Mountain was not a place where anyone could go if they wanted to, even if it wanted to.


    Under Sun Pei and the Six Tailed Mountain Cat''s gaze, Li Xie removed the Nine Souls Sword from its scabbard on his back and grabbed it tightly.


    As Li Xie awakened the Purple Light True Fire in his body, a strong wave of Elemental Energy was injected into the Nine Souls Sword, causing it to instantly glow brilliantly!


    The Six Tailed Mountain Cat took a deep breath. Compared to before, Li Xie was much stronger now.


    This rate of improvement was an eye-opener for the Six Tails Mountain Cat. It almost cried out in alarm.


    Li Xie gestured for Sun Pei and the Six Tailed Mountain Cat to retreat a few steps, then he raised his Nine Souls Sword high up.


    The Nine Souls Sword was like a full moon, instantly illuminating the entire experiential learning peak.


    Infuriated!


    Swoosh!


    Li Xie flung his Nine Souls Sword and landed on the stone monument, instantly splitting it in half.


    In an instant, a dazzling light was released from the stone monument.


    The Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi started to rush into the stone tablet, causing a series of rumbling sounds to come from the stone tablet.


    The sky above the experiential learning peak changed, and the cold wind lost its edge.


    Li Xie heaved a long sigh of relief. What he had predicted was not wrong.


    "Whiz!"


    Just then, the Nine Souls Sword dragged Li Xie and rushed into the stone monument.


    Following that, Li Xie and the Nine Souls Sword rushed into the stone monument together.


    Brother Li!


    Sun Pei quickly ran to the front of the stone tablet, but she could no longer hear her shout.


    Sun Pei gently touched the stone tablet, and at that moment, the stone tablet looked like a piece of thousand-year ice.


    Bang!


    Following the loud bang in the sky, Li Xie who had landed on the ground looked around, and he came to an extremely unfamiliar place.


    The largest amount of demonic energy in the surrounding area was the high and low mountain peaks, as well as the demonic energy in the air.


    The sky here was dark and gloomy. A gentle breeze blew, but there was no trace of coolness.


    Li Xie frowned, I think the place he is at right now is the Thousand Void Mountain!


    The Thousand Void Mountain seemed to be the same as its name. It was very big and very empty.


    Li Xie walked ahead quickly with the Nine Souls Sword in his hand. He had to find the Devil Monarch as soon as possible, since Sun Pei had to be waiting anxiously outside the stone tablet.


    He didn''t want Sun Pei to wait for him for too long.


    Li Xie had already walked for a long time, but he had not even seen the shadow of a Devil Clan Martial Cultivator.


    Li Xie glanced at the Nine Souls Sword in his hands; it was a little too quiet.


    Li Xie''s eyes lit up. Because the Nine Souls Sword was too quiet, he was sure that the Devil Clan''s lair was nearby.


    He continued to walk forward with big steps, and the moqi in the air became denser and denser.


    The faint sound of footsteps could be heard one after another, but not a single shadow could be seen.


    Li Xie clenched his Nine Souls Sword tightly, preparing to ambush his Devil Clan and Martial Cultivator.


    At this time, Li Xie noticed that there were a few shadows moving in front of him, causing him to stop in his tracks.


    The few shadows flew over and circled Li Xie a few times.


    After the shadows stabilized their steps, they all revealed their true forms.


    So they were a group of Shadow Clan Martial Cultivator s who were in charge of patrolling the area.


    Li Xie''s appearance was an unexpected surprise for them, other than them, no one else had access to the Thousand Void Mountain.


    At this moment, a familiar face descended from the sky. It was a white-haired old man.


    The white-haired old man sized Li Xie up. Ever since they parted ways at the Ancient Shattered Calamity Manor, they had met again.


    Just as he had expected, their plan succeeded, and the Devil Monarch was reborn.


    Li Xie cupped his fist and bowed towards the white-haired old man. This time, he could not avoid the clash of swords, but he understood the principle of being polite first before taking action.


    The white haired old man stroked his long beard, and then bowed towards Li Xie.


    Young man, I didn''t expect you to find me here so quickly! The white-haired old man sighed.


    Where is Devil Monarch? Li Xie asked, with not a single extra word.


    Stinking brat, how can you just meet the Lord of Devil Monarch whenever you want to?


    However, if you kneel down and beg us, we can consider it!


    Yes, this is already the biggest favor we can give you!


    Li Xie swept a glance at the Shadow Clan Martial Cultivator that was surrounding him, his expression calm.


    Young man, I advise you not to court death! The white-haired old man advised.


    I must see the Devil Monarch! Li Xie said with a determined tone.


    Elder, please give the order for us to send this stinking brat on his way!


    The white haired old man frowned as he looked at Li Xie, then waved his hand.


    Ah!


    The Shadow Clan Martial Cultivator s all brandished their blades and held it tightly in their hands, aimed at Li Xie''s vital parts, and started to fall like a torrential storm.


    The white-haired old man stood to the side and watched silently. Now was not the time for him to make a move.


    The Shadow Clan Martial Cultivator s were like a pack of fierce wolves, and in their eyes, Li Xie was just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.


    Sou sou ¡­


    The blade edge whizzed past Li Xie''s ears, the ShadowClan Martial Cultivator''s attacks were like the wind.


    Li Xie leapt up with the Nine Souls Sword in hand and scattered the Nine Souls Sword in all directions.


    The of the Nine Souls Sword surged out like a torrential storm.


    "Ugh ¡­"


    The Shadow Clan Martial Cultivator s that were surrounding Li Xie fell to the ground, their martial veins all cut off.


    The ShadowClan Martial Cultivator s tried their best to climb backwards.


    When Li Xie landed on the ground, the only person standing in front of him was a white-haired old man.


    The white-haired old man''s mouth twitched. At this moment, he was full of fighting spirit.


    It had been a long time since he''d had the urge to act, and he was excited about it.


    At this moment, the white-haired old man''s eyes opened wide like a tiger''s and he brought out a blade with both of his hands.


    A burst of killing intent surged towards Li Xie, like a black cloud that covered the sky above him.


    At this moment, the white-haired old man''s expression had already changed to one of viciousness.


    Young man, don''t blame me for bullying you with my age, you asked for it! Just as he finished speaking, a white haired old man rushed in front of Li Xie.


    Both blades swung out at the same time, instantly shattering the ground beneath Li Xie''s feet.


    The white-haired old man infused his two blades with his spiritual energy. Since he was going to make a move, he had to chop off the opponent''s head.


    Li Xie brandished the Nine Souls Sword, causing the blade that was rushing towards his vital parts to return empty-handed.


    The sound of blades clashing against Sword Qi reverberated in the air, rising and falling.


    The white-haired old man brandished his twin sabers, his strength increasing.


    The veins on the white-haired elder''s hands bulged as the Spiritual Energy within his body continued to burn.


    When...


    The white-haired old man couldn''t help but move his heels backwards. He looked down, and a few small holes actually appeared on the dual blades in his hands.


    Gritting his teeth, the white-haired old man once again charged towards Li Xie.


    Hiss! Hiss!


    The white-haired old man''s figure flashed back and forth as he took the opportunity to swing his blade towards Li Xie''s vitals.


    Li Xie could only wave his Nine Souls Sword tightly to prevent the white-haired old man from seizing the initiative.


    Damn it!


    He had originally thought that he would be able to end the battle quickly. Unexpectedly, compared to the time at the Ancient Fragmentation Palace, Li Xie had improved by a lot.

 C34

    Suddenly, the white-haired old man merged the two blades into one and jumped up, taking the opportunity to strike at Li Xie''s head from the sky.


    The blade tore through the air, emitting sparks. Each and every one of them was extremely dazzling.


    The white haired old man''s blood and Elemental Energy were boiling with power in his arms.


    The white-haired old man''s eyes narrowed into a line, but he still couldn''t stop his murderous aura from leaking out.


    Bang!


    Like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky, the white-haired elder''s vision turned pitch-black.


    When the white-haired old man could see the light, he was already on the ground.


    At this time, he could only hear the buzzing sound beside him. Just now, when Li Xie seemed ordinary when he swung his sword, he was unable to endure it.


    When he raised his head, Li Xie quickly walked to his side.


    A feeling of helplessness surged into his heart, the white-haired elder instantly felt that he was really old.


    Senior, can you tell me where Devil Monarch is at the Wankong Mountain now? Li Xie asked in a low voice.


    Alright, Devil Monarch is in the Great Void Mountain''s Shuangyang Hall. If you continue walking forward, you will be able to see it. As his voice fell, the white-haired old man closed his eyes.


    Li Xie held the Nine Souls Sword in his hand and walked forward with large strides.


    Even if the Twin Sun Hall was filled with danger from inside out, he was definitely going to charge through it this time!


    At this time, the Nine Souls Sword in Li Xie''s hand gently trembled a few times.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows. Since he was the one who mistakenly allowed Devil Monarch to see the light of day again, it was necessary for him to personally send Devil Monarch on the road. In the mortal world, Devil Monarch was not welcomed.


    Shuangyang Hall was located in the area where the light was the brightest, but it was not the most eye-catching place.


    As Li Xie passed through the dense forest, the huge Double Sun Hall appeared in his line of sight.


    Whether it was day or night, the crows would always be wandering back and forth in the air above the Twin Sun Palace.


    Li Xie did not stay any longer.


    Someone! Someone trespassed into the Double Sun Hall!


    In the blink of an eye, dozens of Devil Clan Martial Cultivator rushed forward and encircled Li Xie so tightly that not even a drop of water could leak out.


    Li Xie stopped and looked around, and at that moment, his eyes were filled with killing intent.


    At this time, a burly Devil Clan Martial Cultivator walked out of the crowd and stood opposite to Li Xie. He was Devil Clan''s Left Protector.


    Devil Clan''s Left Protector raised his head and sized up Li Xie. This was the Ten Thousand Sky Mountain, and Li Xie was like a small pebble in the Ten Thousand Sky Mountain.


    The rest of the Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s stared at Li Xie like tigers stalking their prey. As long as their Left Protector gave the order, they would all rush up to him.


    Even if it was a huge rock, they could crush it into dust in the blink of an eye.


    Who are you? Protector Zuo of the Devil Clan asked with an imposing manner that was like a rainbow in the sky.


    I am Li Xie, I am here to meet you, hurry up and get your Devil Monarch out! Li Xie said calmly.


    Heh! So you are Li Xie, you''re really not as famous as you are now, you''re just a wet behind the ears brat! The left protector of the Devil Clan sneered.


    Devil Monarch, quickly come out! Li Xie shot a glance at the left protector of the Devil Clan, and then roared at the people of the Twin Sun Hall.


    Li Xie, you came late, Devil Monarch Lord is already at the Guangxuan City! Left Protector of the Devil Clan said.


    Li Xie frowned, the Devil Monarch was actually inside the Guangxuan City, and his Guangxuan City had probably been ravaged by the Devil Monarch and his henchmen, becoming a mess.


    When Li Xie once again turned to look at the left Protector of the Devil Clan, his eyes were ice cold.


    Li Xie''s gaze made the left Protector of the Devil Clan shudder all of a sudden, but he quickly recovered his usual calm demeanor.


    The corner of the left Protector''s mouth twitched. He tried his best to make himself look as fierce as possible.


    Li Xie, do you want to make a move? Left Protector asked.


    Right, I''m going to destroy this Shuangyang Palace! Li Xie said, his eyes flashing with light.


    Ha! This is the funniest joke I''ve ever heard. Your stupidity has really broadened my horizons! The left protector of the Devil Clan said with a sneer.


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth raised, and then he leapt into the air and landed on the roof opposite him.


    The Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s all turned to stare at Li Xie, their eyes completely red.


    The left protector raised his left hand and heavily smashed it downwards!


    In an instant, the Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s all conjured their blades or swords in their hands, and rushed towards Li Xie as if they were stepping on clouds.


    The sky above the Twin Sun Hall was instantly covered by dark clouds, and killing intent filled the area around the Twin Sun Hall.


    Hiss! Hiss!


    The blade tip was like a surging tide, blotting out the sky and falling towards Li Xie.


    Li Xie waved the Nine Souls Sword in his hand to his heart''s content, allowing the Sword Qi to whistle forth.


    Wave after wave of Elemental Energy was being injected into the Nine Souls Sword, burning to their heart''s content.


    The Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s that were pouncing towards Li Xie were like fallen leaves, falling downwards.


    Li Xie rushed forward with the Nine Souls Sword in hand, and wherever he went, limbs flew everywhere.


    Even so, the left protector of the Devil Clan led the Martial Cultivator s of the Devil Clan and continued to swing his blade forward.


    The left protector of the Devil Clan had already treated Li Xie''s head as his own, he would personally cut it and offer it to the Devil Monarch.


    With big steps, the left protector of Devil Clan was at the front, his blade howling towards Li Xie.


    Li Xie turned to the side, and the blade in the left side of the Devil Clan guard''s hand brushed past his shoulder.


    Li Xie took the opportunity to kick the left protector of the Devil Clan in the abdomen, causing the left protector of the Devil Clan to fly out.


    Just then, Li Xie turned and ran towards the main hall of the Twin Sun Hall. To Devil Clan, the main hall was their most sacred place.


    Stop him!


    The left protector of the Devil Clan roared, as he could already see through Li Xie''s intentions.


    In the blink of an eye, the Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s of the Twin Sun Hall had already gathered in full strength.


    Li Xie brandished his Nine Souls Sword and shuttled back and forth under the siege of the Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s, the Sword Qi whistled, and one after another, the Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s fell.


    Li Xie continued to rush forward past the corpse of the Devil Clan Martial Cultivator, the main hall was right in front of him.


    "Whiz!"


    The left protector of the Devil Clan descended from the sky, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Li Xie.


    The left protector of the Devil Clan glared at Li Xie angrily, wishing that he could chop Li Xie into meat paste.


    Swoosh!


    Sword Qi flashed, and when Devil Clan left protector looked down, his chest was already dripping with blood.


    Get out of my way! Li Xie shouted.


    The left protector of the Devil Clan furrowed his brows, his breathing became more and more hurried.


    Whoosh ¡­


    Suddenly, a black figure rushed out from the main hall and pounced towards Li Xie.


    Li Xie swept the Nine Souls Sword forward, but was unable to harm the black figure in the slightest.


    The black shadow wrapped around Li Xie and with that, Li Xie was thrown out.


    Then, the black figure flashed and returned to the left side of the Devil Clan Protector, revealing his original appearance.


    Right Protector, you came at the right time! The left protector of Devil Clan said with joy on his brows.


    In the Profound Sky Mountain, the position of the right protector of the Devil Clan was only second to that of the Devil Monarch.


    Compared to the left protector of the Devil Clan, the right protector of the Devil Clan was in an even higher realm.


    The right protector of the Devil Clan glanced at the left protector of the Devil Clan and secretly laughed at the left protector of the Devil Clan for losing face for their Devil Clan.


    He had been in closed door cultivation recently, which was why he heard all those noises outside. He knew that Twin Sun Hall must have met with trouble, so he came out to investigate.


    Li Xie''s left hand pushed off the ground while his right hand held onto the Nine Souls Sword.


    The right Protector Devil Clan stared coldly at Li Xie, his eyes filled with disdain.


    Compared to the young Li Xie, he had experienced the ups and downs of Devil Clan.


    Brat, what''s your name? Devil Clan Right Protector asked.


    My name is Li Xie! Li Xie replied calmly.


    So it''s you, you actually dared to come here to die, your courage deserves praise! Devil Clan Protector said.

 C35

    It was not certain who would live and who would die! Li Xie said as the corner of his mouth rose.


    Humph! It looks like you really don''t know your limits! With an explosive roar, the right Protector of Devil Clan appeared in front of Li Xie in a flash, and threw a punch towards Li Xie''s chest.


    Bang!


    After Li Xie landed on the ground, a mouthful of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.


    Just now, the Devil Clan Protector''s speed was extremely fast, not giving Li Xie any chance to react or dodge.


    Li Xie stood up shakily, the sword in his right hand was trembling.


    All of these were seen by the right Protector of the Devil Clan and were all within his expectations.


    Just then, the right Protector of the Devil Clan glared, a burst of demonic Qi pounced towards Li Xie, directly pushing him down to the ground.


    The right protector of the Devil Clan waved his hand, and the surrounding Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s swarmed forward, immediately controlling Li Xie.


    Li Xie glanced at the right protector of the Devil Clan, his eyes clearly showing his exhaustion.


    Right Protector, what should we do to Li Xie? The Left Protector asked while bowing.


    Of course it was to lock him in the dungeon and wait for the Devil Monarch to come back so that he could decide what to do with him! Devil Clan Right Protector said.


    Devil Monarch doesn''t need to dirty his hands for him, let me remove Li Xie''s head right now! The left protector of Devil Clan said as the corner of his mouth twitched.


    What? Do you really want to take Li Xie''s head to ask for praise from the Devil Monarch? Devil Clan Right Protector glared at Devil Clan Left Protector as he shouted in anger.


    The left protector of the Devil Clan immediately lowered his head, avoiding the anger of the right protector of the Devil Clan.


    In his heart, the left protector of the Devil Clan kept cursing at the right protector.


    An hour later, the damp air in the dungeons of the Twin Sun Hall followed him like a shadow.


    Li Xie was tied to a stone pillar, and the stone pillar was filled with demonic energy;


    Li Xie''s expression was indifferent, he now hoped that the Devil Monarch would appear as soon as possible.


    Presumably, the news of him being captured had already reached Devil Monarch''s ears. Devil Monarch would impatiently rush back.


    Devil Monarch would never have expected that he would actually be able to barge into a place like the Wankong Mountain and Twin Sun Hall.


    Li Xie looked around. Compared to the Iron Horse Gang''s dungeon, the one at the Double Sun Hall was even darker.


    There were no insects, snakes, mice, or ants in the dungeons of Shuangyang Hall. There was only a lifeless atmosphere.


    If he stayed in the Twin Sun Hall''s dungeon for too long, the pain in his back and waist would follow one after another, and his mental state would also become more and more sluggish.


    Squeak...


    The iron door to the dungeon was pushed open, and footsteps could be heard approaching.


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth raised. Finally someone who could talk had arrived, and he was just worrying about how quiet the dungeon was.


    When the footsteps stopped, Devil Clan''s Left Protector stood in front of Li Xie.


    Devil Clan''s Left Protector stared arrogantly at Li Xie, as though if he were to move his fingers, he would be able to pinch Li Xie to death.


    Recalling Li Xie''s aggressive attitude not long ago, the left protector of the Devil Clan felt that it was extremely funny.


    If not for the might of the Devil Clan Protector, he would have personally removed Li Xie''s head from his body long ago.


    At this time, the left protector of the Devil Clan''s expression darkened as he looked coldly at Li Xie.


    Although he couldn''t immediately kill Li Xie, he could torture him to his heart''s content and make him feel worse than death.


    When he thought of this, the withered left Protector of the Devil Clan once again became excited.


    Li Xie, what do you have to say to me now? Left Protector asked.


    I''m very happy that you came to visit me in the dungeon. Li Xie replied.


    Humph! Don''t play dumb in front of me, you know I''m not here to see you! The left protector of Devil Clan said as the corner of his mouth twitched.


    Oh, so you came to torture me in the dungeon? Li Xie asked.


    Yes, how about it? Do you have something to say to me? The left protector of the Devil Clan sneered.


    Your position in Shuangyang Hall seems to be lower than the Right Protector. Li Xie said.


    After the left protector heard what Li Xie said, his face immediately darkened.


    He had stayed in the Twin Sun Hall for so long that no one dared to bring up this matter.


    This matter was his wound. Even a light touch would be enough to tear his heart out.


    The left protector of the Devil Clan swung his fist at Li Xie''s chest, causing him to frown.


    The left protector of the Devil Clan brandished his fist with great strength, but Li Xie did not display any pain.


    Just then, the left protector of the Devil Clan threw out a blade from his sleeve, as if he was going to stab Li Xie''s chest.


    You asked for it, and I wanted to torture you slowly! Left Protector of the Devil Clan said.


    Don''t you want to get rid of the Right Protector before Devil Monarch comes back? Li Xie asked.


    The expression on the left Protector''s face instantly froze. He had already thought of killing the right Protector a long time ago, but he didn''t know where to start.


    The Martial Cultivator realm of the Right Protector was above him, so his attack had no chance of winning, which was equivalent to giving up his life for nothing.


    Humph! The Right Protector and I are like blood brothers, don''t try to sow discord! Devil Clan left protector came back to reality and shouted.


    Really? Li Xie asked. His voice was like a thorn that could pierce into the heart of the Devil Clan''s Left Protector.


    What are you trying to say? Why don''t you open the gates and speak frankly! Left Protector of the Devil Clan said.


    Li Xie laughed to himself, he knew that the left protector of the Devil Clan had already taken the bait.


    There was a conflict between the left and right Protectors of Devil Clan, and this was the place he could take advantage of.


    No matter where they were, there would always be contradictions and battles, so Devil Clan was naturally no exception.


    The Nine Souls Sword in my scabbard is a top grade heaven rank weapon, it is enough to help you! Li Xie said with a stern expression.


    The left protector raised his gaze and coincidentally saw the Nine Souls Sword on Li Xie''s back.


    When Li Xie had brandished the Nine Souls Sword and charged towards the main hall of the Twin Sun Hall, the left protector of the Devil Clan had already personally witnessed the sharpness of the Nine Souls Sword.


    If he really could wield a Nine Souls Sword, perhaps he could send the Right Protector on his way.


    Thinking of this, the expression on the left Protector of the Devil Clan became much gentler.


    At this very moment, Li Xie was already considered an ally to the left Protector of the Devil Clan.


    Young Master Li, are you really prepared to lend me the Nine Souls Sword? The left protector of the Devil Clan asked, unknowingly his way of addressing Li Xie had already changed.


    Of course, I''ve already been trapped in the dungeon, what else can I do? Li Xie said as he observed the left protector of the Devil Clan.


    The left protector of the Devil Clan stared intently at Li Xie''s eyes, until he was sure that Li Xie''s eyes were not cunning.


    The left protector of the Devil Clan frowned as he thought. He had to be careful, because the moment he took a wrong step, he would be followed by a bottomless abyss.


    But when the left protector of the Devil Clan thought of the usually arrogant right protector, the flames of fury in his heart began to burn.


    He had spent more time in the Twin Sun Temple than the Protector of the Right, but his status was vastly different.


    He refused to accept this. Now that he had the opportunity to send the Right Protector on his way, he didn''t want to miss it.


    But, after I send the Right Protector down the road, if Master Devil Monarch blames me, I will die with him! Left Protector of the Devil Clan said.


    Nine Souls Sword is my sword, not your sword. At that time, just say that I killed the Right Protector. Li Xie said.


    The left protector of the Devil Clan pondered for a moment, then thoughtfully nodded.


    At most, he would send the Right Protector on his way before sending Li Xie along to accompany the Right Protector.


    The thoughts of the left protector of the Devil Clan naturally did not escape Li Xie''s eyes, but at this moment, Li Xie pretended that he did not see through it.


    Young Master Li, then I won''t be polite! Just as he finished speaking, the left protector of the Devil Clan walked over to Li Xie''s side.

 C36

    Under Li Xie''s attentive gaze, the left protector of the Devil Clan pulled out the Nine Souls Sword s from the scabbard on Li Xie''s back.


    The left protector of the Devil Clan clenched his right hand tightly onto the Nine Souls Sword and raised it high up in the air!


    Nine Souls Sword was truly a Heaven Ranked Exquisite Weapon, holding it in his hands felt refreshed.


    The left protector of Devil Clan smiled slightly. He seemed to have seen the right protector prostrate at his feet, kowtowing and begging for mercy.


    The left protector of Devil Clan put away his Nine Souls Sword, and took the chance to clasp his fist towards Li Xie.


    Young Master Li, thank you for your help. I will accompany you for a few more words after I send the Right Protector on his way! Left Protector of the Devil Clan said.


    Protector Zuo, you must be careful. You must hit your target or you will die! Li Xie reminded.


    Mm, Young Master Li, you''re right. Just as he finished speaking, the left protector of Devil Clan turned around and walked towards the entrance of the dungeon.


    Unexpectedly, just as the left protector of Devil Clan was about to reach the entrance of the dungeon, he met the right protector.


    What caused him to tremble with fear was that Devil Monarch was standing behind the Right Protector.


    When he found out that Li Xie had barged into the Ten Thousand Void Mountain''s Twin Sun Hall, he immediately left the Guangxuan City and rushed back.


    The left protector of the Devil Clan immediately bowed towards the Devil Monarch. The killing intent in his eyes earlier had already been hidden and not a single drop could be seen.


    Devil Monarch raised his hand slightly, gesturing to Left Protector not to be too courteous, just as Devil Monarch was walking past Left Protector, he saw the Nine Souls Sword in Left Protector''s hands.


    Last time at the Nine Desolate Pavilion, the Nine Souls Sword was still in Li Xie''s hands.


    Master Devil Monarch, this sword was taken from Li Xie by me, how could that ant be worthy of using such a good sword, I beg Master Devil Monarch to keep this sword! The left protector carried the Nine Souls Sword and said.


    Devil Monarch had been staring at the left protector of the Devil Clan, the left protector heard the sound of his own heartbeat, but his expression was still very calm.


    There is no need. I have no interest in swords at all. Devil Monarch looked at Left Protector and said.


    The wilted vine in Devil Monarch''s mouth was the name of the left protector of the Devil Clan. In the entire Ten Thousand Sky Mountain, only Devil Monarch could directly call him by his name.


    Thank you, Devil Monarch! Ku Teng kept the Nine Souls Sword and took the chance to glance at the Right Protector with a hint of pride in his eyes.


    The Right Protector rolled his eyes at the vine. If it wasn''t for Devil Monarch, he would have already scolded the vine in anger.


    The rattan had been dissatisfied with him for a long time, so how could the right protector not know?


    We have to let all of you know, our Devil Clan can''t kill each other! Devil Monarch said solemnly.


    Yes, I shall follow the teachings of the Devil Monarch! "Let''s go!" Assumptuous and Withered Leaf said at the same time.


    Presumptuous was the name of the right protector of the Devil Clan, and it was given to him by the Devil Monarch.


    Since the Devil Monarch had already said so, he decided to not argue with the vine for the time being.


    A moment later, Devil Monarch stood in front of Li Xie with an imposing manner that shot through the sky like a rainbow.


    In the dim light of the dungeon, Li Xie''s face looked a little pale.


    Li Xie calmly looked at Devil Monarch, but he was not excited nor was he angry.


    The Twin Sun Hall''s dungeon was a lifeless place. Even if a sect realm Martial Cultivator stayed in the dungeon for a long time, they would feel mentally exhausted.


    The only thing that caused the Devil Monarch to be spirited was the resolution he saw in Li Xie''s eyes, like a bright moon in a dungeon.


    The corners of Devil Monarch''s mouth raised, he had specially rushed back to Shuangyang Hall for Li Xie.


    For so many years, the only Transcendent Martial Cultivator who had the ability to charge into the Thousand Void Mountain was Li Xie!


    Master Devil Monarch, please give the order, I can immediately use the Nine Souls Sword in my hands to cut off Li Xie''s head! Ku Teng took a step forward and said.


    He looked at the vine coldly. He felt that it had gone crazy trying to snatch his job.


    Li Xie, in truth, you have done me a favor. I should not have killed you, but you did not know what was good for you, you killed so many of my brothers and you were even a pawn, your crimes cannot be forgiven! Devil Monarch said coldly.


    If you want to kill me, then kill me! Li Xie said calmly.


    Stinking brat, you actually dare to be so reckless in front of our Lord Devil Monarch, looks like you are really tired of living! The withered vine roared.


    Withered rattan, as you wish, go! Devil Monarch glanced at the dried vine and said.


    Yes! When Li Xie was killed, the Nine Souls Sword would be truly useful to him.


    Nine Souls Sword was not an ordinary sword. Only by letting its master die would it be able to accept its next master.


    The vine took large strides forward and instantly stood by Li Xie''s side.


    Ku Teng squinted his eyes and observed Li Xie. He had already seen where Li Xie''s head was.


    Protector Zuo, why did you change your mind so quickly? Weren''t we in an alliance just now? Li Xie said as he looked at the wilted vine from the side of his face.


    Nonsense! Ku Teng''s eyes widened, as he stabbed his sword towards Li Xie''s heart.


    Swoosh!


    As fast as lightning, something that caused the withered vine to turn pale with fright happened. The Nine Souls Sword in his hand was not under his control, as he turned around and stabbed towards Devil Monarch.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    Trembling, the vine loosened its grip. At this time, the Nine Souls Sword had already pierced into Devil Monarch''s body.


    Devil Monarch stared at the withering vine, his eyes were as cold as a thousand year old ice.


    Master Devil Monarch, this is not my intention. Ku Teng said with a pale face.


    Hiss!


    He decided to unsheathe his sword and instantly chopped down the vine. He didn''t care if the vine was doing it on purpose or not.


    He had already grasped the opportunity, and he would not let it slip by him.


    By the time he decided to put away his saber, the vine was already lying dead in a pool of blood!


    Just at this moment, Li Xie controlled the Nine Souls Sword''s thoughts and rushed out of Devil Monarch''s body, but was caught by him.


    Devil Monarch smiled coldly at Li Xie, his eyes overflowing with killing intent.


    He had not wanted to do it himself, but he had changed his mind.


    Swoosh!


    The Nine Souls Sword broke free from the Devil Monarch''s restraints and flew back into Li Xie''s hands.


    Li Xie struggled out both of his arms, causing the iron chains that bound him to collapse and fall to the ground.


    Li Xie rushed towards the Devil Monarch with the Nine Souls Sword in his hand, the Sword Qi howling in the air.


    Devil Monarch raised the corner of his mouth, took the opportunity to open his left palm and faced Li Xie as a surge of surging devil energy rushed towards Li Xie.


    Li Xie stomped his feet on the ground, and as though he was stepping on a ladder to the clouds, he instantly appeared behind Devil Monarch.


    This place is too narrow. We can''t use it. Li Xie turned his head to look at Devil Monarch and said.


    Well, that''s exactly what I was thinking! Devil Monarch squinted his eyes and said.


    A moment later, Li Xie and Devil Monarch stood on the wide plaza in front of the Shuangyang Hall.


    The Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s who surrounded them were menacing and their unique armor was flickering with light.


    In the hearts of the Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s, Devil Monarch was like a god.


    Compared to when he was in the dungeon, Li Xie was much more energetic right now.


    As long as Li Xie was eliminated, no one would dare to oppose him within a hundred mile radius of the Guangxuan City.


    Devil Monarch raised his hands up high, and the Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s started to cheer.


    At this moment, Devil Monarch felt that he could destroy the entire East Qin Kingdom in the blink of an eye.


    He desired to establish a nation that belonged to the Devil Clan, so everyone had to listen to his orders! Those who disobeyed his orders would only have one ending, and that was death!


    When Devil Monarch lowered his hands, the cheering sounds of the Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s around him gradually stopped.

 C37

    Devil Monarch gazed at Li Xie. At this moment, the Li Xie in his eyes was like air.


    Compared to the him from several hundred years ago, even though the current Devil Monarch was much calmer, his edge did not decrease in the slightest.


    Li Xie, I will send you on your way soon, you won''t suffer too much. The Devil Monarch said.


    Although you have ''good intentions'', I will not accept it! Li Xie said.


    Boom!


    Devil Monarch raised his left hand and opened up his palm towards Li Xie, releasing a gust of demonic qi.


    Wherever the demon qi went, dust would fly, fallen leaves would shatter, and rocks would shatter.


    Li Xie waved his Nine Souls Sword and rushed forward as the Sword Qi tore the demonic energy into two.


    As Li Xie got closer and closer to the Devil Monarch, the sound of the Sword Qi''s roar reached his ears.


    The Devil Monarch looked at Li Xie quietly, the demonic energy in his body was overflowing.


    Devil Monarch was still calm. No matter how hard Li Xie tried, he was sure that Li Xie would not be able to escape his grasp in the end.


    Boom!


    Devil Monarch''s figure flashed, and instantly appeared behind Li Xie. His hands pressed on Li Xie''s shoulders, and threw him out.


    Bang!


    After Li Xie fell to the ground, he supported himself up with his left hand.


    Devil Monarch''s speed was extremely fast, he did not even have a chance to react.


    Devil Monarch had a lot of strength on his hands, a light touch would be enough to split a mountain.


    This was the power of the Devil Monarch, the power to summon the wind and rain.


    Boom!


    Devil Monarch opened up his left palm and faced Li Xie as several strands of demonic energy rushed towards him at the same time.


    The devilish qi was like an eagle, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. It was a terrifying scene to behold!


    Li Xie''s feet pressed on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, he had fallen behind him.


    Several waves of devilish qi rushed over, and he descended from the sky, rushing past several waves of devilish qi. However, the roof behind him was directly overturned by those waves of devilish qi.


    Dust flew everywhere, and rubble flew everywhere. The plaza outside the Shuangyang Hall was gradually thrown into chaos.


    Li Xie held onto the Nine Souls Sword, and quickly approached Devil Monarch.


    Devil Monarch''s mouth twitched, he raised his right hand, and a black wolf charged out from the ground.


    Ang!


    The black wolf roared and pounced toward Li Xie with its teeth bared.


    The body of the black wolf was muscular and massive, while the feet of the Twin Sun Hall and the black wolf were trembling.


    Powerful beast power gushed out, and even the sky started to be covered by dark clouds.


    Li Xie leapt up and landed on the black wolf''s back, then pierced the Nine Souls Sword downwards.


    At this moment, the black wolf transformed into strands of demonic energy and surrounded Li Xie.


    Demonic Qi unceasingly surrounded and attacked Li Xie, causing Li Xie''s entire body to be injured.


    Li Xie waved the Nine Souls Sword, the Sword Qi whistled, and the sound of being torn apart rose one after another.


    The surrounding Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s all held their breath, as they watched in silence, afraid that they would miss the instant Li Xie was torn to shreds.


    Hiss! Hiss!


    Li Xie injected the Elemental Energy in his body into the Nine Souls Sword, causing it to become even more tyrannical. Under the impact of the Sword Qi, the demonic energy surrounding Li Xie started to crack.


    Li Xie took the chance and grabbed the Nine Souls Sword tightly, and waved it about.


    Boom!


    The Demonic Qi surrounding Li Xie crumbled, leaving behind traces of Demonic Qi sweeping across the ground.


    Devil Monarch watched everything with a cold smile not too far away.


    Li Xie held the Nine Souls Sword and rushed at Devil Monarch again. Even though he was exhausted, he would not slow down because of this.


    Infuriated!


    Rumble rumble rumble!


    Suddenly, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the sky above the Twin Sun Hall.


    The Nine Souls Sword s'' Sword Qi shot out in all directions like arrows, and the Devil Clan s that were unable to dodge in time were all pierced through by the Sword Qi.


    Devil Monarch squinted his eyes. He had interacted with the Rage Heavenly Art for so long, he was just too familiar with it.


    Furious Heaven Art was the most exquisite sword technique in the Wind Formula Continent, it had limitless power!


    The powerful Sword Qi roared, and the massive Twin Sun Hall trembled right after.


    Ah ¡­


    The Devil Clan Martial Cultivator''s screams resounded continuously in the air, as though his heart was being torn apart.


    Devil Monarch''s eyes were wide open. The Sword Qi that was pouncing towards him was blocked outside the door by the devil energy that rushed out from his palms.


    Li Xie, the Art of Raging Heaven is truly powerful, but unfortunately you are only at the first level, and cannot stop me! As soon as he finished, Devil Monarch opened his arms and pushed forward.


    Bang!


    Under the Devil Monarch''s call, the huge boulders from all directions charged toward Li Xie in unison.


    devilish energy surrounded the huge rocks, which was enough to destroy the Sword Qi that was blocking in front of them.


    Li Xie waved his Nine Souls Sword and quickly rushed forward, smashing apart the incoming boulders.


    Boom!


    Li Xie raised his head to look. Devil Monarch had descended from the sky, his palm extended outwards as a wave of powerful devil energy roared towards him like thunder.


    Bang!


    Although Li Xie raised the Nine Souls Sword, the demonic qi still knocked it flying.


    After landing, blood had already flowed out from the corner of Li Xie''s mouth.


    The corner of Devil Monarch''s mouth twitched. Under the attack of his full strength, Li Xie already had a heavy responsibility.


    With everything in his grasp, Devil Monarch walked towards Li Xie leisurely.


    Just at this time, Long''er suddenly appeared beside Li Xie. Actually, she had been following Li Xie the entire time, entering the Thousand Void Mountain with him.


    Long''er waved his wings, and strands of spirit energy fell around Li Xie.


    Li Xie immediately felt himself floating in the air, and his consciousness slowly blurred.


    However, Li Xie could still hear the Devil Monarch''s roars.


    After an unknown amount of time, Li Xie slowly opened his eyes. He looked around him; he was currently in a dilapidated room.


    When Li Xie saw Yao''er lying beside him, he frowned.


    In order to save him from leaving the Thousand Void Mountain, Long''er had already exhausted all the spiritual energy in his body.


    And on her body, there were even marks of having been bitten by the demonic qi, which was shocking to behold.


    Li Xie held onto the Nine Souls Sword and was about to stand up, but he was completely exhausted.


    Li Xie let out a long sigh. The distance between him and the Devil Monarch was still too far.


    Devil Monarch was already a Berserker Realm High Martial Cultivator, but he was only at the lower level of the Origin Realm.


    However, there was still a determined look in Li Xie''s eyes. The harder it was to defeat Devil Monarch, the stronger he would make himself stronger.


    In the period of time he was in the Profound Heaven Region, Li Xie had stepped over those who looked down on him, step by step, and from then on, became the number one Battle Sovereign in the Profound Heaven Region.


    Li Xie clenched his fists, he could hear the sound of his blood boiling.


    Half a month later, Li Xie arrived at the Sangzhou City located in the northwest of Guangxuan City.


    During this time, he had been healing his wounds and tempering the Heaven''s Fury Skill. He did not waste even a single bit of time.


    In the past half month, all of the large and small forces within and outside of Guangxuan City had crawled under the Devil Monarch''s feet, struggling to escape from death.


    After the Devil Monarch firmly controlled the Guangxuan City, he extended his hand toward the Sangzhou City.


    Compared to Guangxuan City, the prosperity of Sangzhou City and the intricacies of the various sects and powers were not much worse.


    When Li Xie rushed to the Sangzhou City s, it was already sunset.


    After Li Xie stepped into the Sangzhou City, he first strolled around the streets and alleys of the Sangzhou City, and finally chose to stay at the Lucky Inn.


    Within the Sangzhou City, the Lucky Inn was only a small inn, and wasn''t very eye-catching at all.


    The waiter of the Lucky Inn enthusiastically welcomed Li Xie into the inn, and then arranged a good guest room for Li Xie.


    After finishing his dinner, Li Xie returned to the guest room on the second floor of the Lucky Inn.


    At this time, the Sangzhou City was a completely foreign place to Li Xie.


    Li Xie pushed open the window and looked outside. In his eyes, the Sangzhou City was like an endless mountain range, with no end in sight.

 C38

    What Li Xie missed the most was Sun Pei''s safety. In this half month, Li Xie had constantly been asking for information regarding Sun Pei, but he had not found anything.


    Sun Pei seemed to have vanished from the world, or perhaps she had never appeared.


    Every time he thought of this, Li Xie''s brows would knit together tightly.


    If not for the fact that the night at the Sangzhou City was calmer, Li Xie might have been even more distracted.


    Ever since Li Xie had stepped into the Sangzhou City, Li Xie had felt that something was very strange. The news of Devil Monarch sending someone to harass the Sangzhou City must have already spread into the Sangzhou City, but the atmosphere of the Sangzhou City was not one bit flustered.


    Sangzhou City were still the same as usual, and the citizens lived their usual lives.


    At this time, a light breeze slowly blew, causing the summer heat to fade slightly.


    Li Xie raised his head and looked at the moonlight as if he was looking at Sun Pei''s face.


    Sometimes, the burning sensation of worry is even more intense than the temperature of summer.


    Dong dong dong ¡­


    Who was outside the door?


    Li Xie turned his head to look at the door, the knocking sound just now pulled him back from his thoughts.


    I''m a waiter, I came here to deliver something to you!


    Come in!


    Squeak squeak...


    The waiter of the Lucky Inn pushed open the door and entered with a vegetable basket in his hands.


    Li Xie''s gaze naturally fell on the vegetable basket in the waiter''s hand. He did not know what was inside.


    The waiter looked at Li Xie with a smile, he knew that his sudden appearance would cause Li Xie to be on high alert.


    Waiter, I didn''t order anything to eat. Did you send them to the wrong place? Li Xie looked at the waiter and said.


    Young master, I did not send him to the wrong place. As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter took off the cloth that was covering the vegetable basket.


    Li Xie looked carefully, only to see that all the eggs in the basket were bright red.


    Young master, a chubby kid was born in front of the innkeeper''s wife at the next inn. That innkeeper was extremely happy and specially delivered red eggs to everyone on the street! The waiter said with a smile.


    So that''s how it was. Li Xie said.


    Just then, the waiter took out two eggs from the basket and placed them on the table in front of Li Xie.


    Waiter, please wait a moment! Seeing that the waiter was about to leave, Li Xie immediately shouted.


    The waiter stopped in his tracks, turned around, and bowed towards Li Xie once more.


    Li Xie took a few steps forward until he was even closer to the waiter.


    Young master, do you have something to ask me? Please do not hesitate to speak, I must know what to say! The waiter said.


    Mn, Devil Monarch is seeing the light of day again, their Devil Clan aura is like a rainbow, their Guangxuan City have already been devoured by the Devil Clan, their next target is the Sangzhou City, why are you not nervous at all about this? Li Xie asked.


    He was nervous, but he couldn''t solve the problem. Besides, our Lord City Master is not as useless as the Lord of Guangxuan City! The waiter said.


    The words of the waiter caused Li Xie to be filled with respect. This made Li Xie want to meet the master of the Sangzhou City, Mu Yunji.


    Mu Yun Chu had already been the Patriarch of Sangzhou City for twenty odd years, and under his jurisdiction, there had not been any major problems with his Sangzhou City.


    The Guangxuan City was quite a distance away from the Sangzhou City, to the point where Li Xie did not know much about Mu Yunji.


    Li Xie took out a bit of silver from his sleeves and gave it to the waiter, who accepted the silver and left Li Xie''s room.


    Li Xie waved towards the door and it closed in an instant.


    Several hours later, the sunlight once again filled the entire Sangzhou City.


    Early in the morning, Li Xie was awakened by the hustle and bustle of the streets.


    Compared to Guangxuan City, Sangzhou City was a place full of vitality.


    After Li Xie got off the bed, he quickly walked to the window and opened it.


    Li Xie breathed freely. Today, he was going to pay a visit to Mu Yunji with City Lord''s Mansion.


    It was said that Mu Yunji came from the East Qin Kingdom''s capital, and thus had a deep relationship with the East Qin Kingdom''s royal family.


    From the tone the waiter used last night, it could be seen that Mu Yunji''s status in the hearts of the common people in the Sangzhou City was very high.


    An hour later, Li Xie walked out of the Lucky Inn and headed in the direction of the Sangzhou City.


    Sangzhou City was located at the end of Phoenix Street, where the majority of the owners of the courtyard were all well-known figures within the Sangzhou City.


    The closer he got to Sangzhou City, the more Li Xie felt that his City Lord''s Mansion was already packed full.


    Along the way, Li Xie had already met many people who were running towards the Sangzhou City.


    Li Xie''s brows twitched. Could it be that something big was going to happen to Sangzhou City today?


    Unknowingly, Li Xie quickened his footsteps towards the City Lord''s Mansion.


    Until Li Xie arrived at the Sangzhou City''s gate, his eyes were already filled with people.


    Li Xie swept a glance over, and saw that those squeezed at the entrance of the Sangzhou City were all famous family clans and righteous people.


    Li Xie raised his brows, it seemed like it wouldn''t be easy for him to enter the City Lord''s Mansion today.


    Li Xie looked around, and what passed by him were all unfamiliar faces.


    Just then, a man dressed in white stood beside Li Xie.


    The man in white patted Li Xie''s shoulders as if they had known each other for a long time, and the truth was that it was different.


    The man in white clothes earlier stood not far away and observed for a long time. He could already tell what Li Xie was thinking from Li Xie''s eyes.


    Li Xie cupped his fists towards the man in white and bowed. If he wanted to squeeze into City Lord''s Mansion, he would have to rely on him.


    The white robed man straightened his back like a senior, and then bowed back to Li Xie.


    Young man, do you want to join City Lord''s Mansion and join in on the fun? the man in white asked.


    Yes, that''s what I meant! Li Xie replied.


    Un, please follow me, I will bring you into City Lord''s Mansion to join in on the fun. The man in white said.


    A moment later, Li Xie and the man in white stood in the courtyard in front of the City Lord''s Mansion living room.


    As there were too many people, there was no way that even a drop of water could leak out of the great City Lord''s Mansion living room.


    The voices that reverberated beside his ears were all the discussions of the people, as they were all related to Devil Clan.


    Young man, don''t say anything later. If you say something wrong, I might not be willing to protect you! The white clothed man looked at Li Xie and said.


    Thank you for your reminder. Li Xie replied while deep in thought.


    As the discussions stopped, Li Xie knew that Mu Yun must have just arrived.


    Just as expected, under the protection of the Sangzhou City soldiers, Mu Yun Chu quickly strode into the courtyard in front of the hall.


    In the blink of an eye, everyone''s eyes fell on Mu Yunji.


    Although Mu Yunji was already over 50 years old, his spirit was even greater than that of a young man.


    Especially his eyes, which were like the bright moonlight in the dark night, bright and full of spirit.


    Mu Yunji''s eyes swept the crowd; he was very happy that so many people had come today.


    Everyone, I believe you all should already know why I have invited you all here to the City Lord''s Mansion today. Mu Yunji said.


    City Lord, you are talking about the matter of the Devil Clan coming and wreaking havoc here?


    Mu Yunji nodded. Recently, he had been worrying about this matter.


    City Lord, don''t worry, with my strong side here, Devil Clan will not return!


    Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and saw that the person who spoke was a tall and big young Martial Cultivator.


    Mu Yunji sized up the Xiong side. The Xiong side had recently become famous in Sangzhou City City.

 C39

    Within a short period of time, the Xiong side had defeated several Martial Cultivator''s with decent strength. Even Mu Yunji had heard of this.


    The Xiong side cupped his hands and bowed towards Mu Yunji, his face filled with high spirits.


    The others might be a little afraid of Mu Yunji, but they felt that they were on equal footing with Mu Yunji.


    Mu Yunji was already old; he was the future leader of Sangzhou City!


    On the strong side, you sure have a big mouth!


    Yeah, you really don''t know your limits!


    The Xiong side turned around and swept a glance at the crowd, the corner of his mouth raised a trace of ruthlessness.


    Since he wasn''t willing to act against this group of people, it could be said that he was giving some face to Mu Yunji.


    Could it be that there is a Martial Cultivator with a stronger Sangzhou City than mine? the man asked loudly.


    Under the domineering attitude of the Xiong side, many people chose to avoid his gaze.


    The male side coldly laughed, and he would carry the safety of his Sangzhou City onto his shoulders.


    Li Xie shook his shoulders as he stood in the crowd. He never thought that there would be such an arrogant person in Sangzhou City.


    Li Xie looked past the crowd and glanced at the male side, his eyes revealing a look of disdain.


    Stand up for me!


    The male side raised his left hand and pointed forward. Everyone looked towards the direction of the male side and just happened to see Li Xie.


    The white clothed man who stood beside Li Xie was already sweating profusely. He turned his face to look at Li Xie, as if he was looking at a person who was about to die.


    The white clothed man took a step back, just to stay a little further away from Li Xie.


    Under the gazes of the crowd, Li Xie walked to the front of the male side in a composed manner, and bowed towards Mu Yunji and the male side.


    Mu Yunji stroked his beard and looked at Li Xie. Li Xie''s guts was astonishing.


    Everyone was a little afraid of the strong, but Li Xie''s eyes did not reveal a trace of panic.


    What exactly was Li Xie''s identity? Where did it come from? Currently, Mu Yunji knew nothing.


    The heroic side stared at Li Xie fiercely. He wanted to remove Li Xie''s head in front of everyone so that he could confirm his position in the Sangzhou City second only to Mu Yuncai.


    Xiong Shou clenched his fists, the veins on his hands popped out, and the Elemental Energy in his body started to boil.


    In his eyes, Li Xie''s somewhat skinny body couldn''t even withstand a gust of wind before collapsing.


    Boy, you look unfamiliar, you shouldn''t be someone from the Sangzhou City, right? The male side squinted at Li Xie and asked.


    Mn, I come from the Guangxuan City. Li Xie blurted out.


    Guangxuan City! The had already been devoured by the Devil Clan.


    There was actually someone who could escape from the Guangxuan City, and that person was a young man.


    The man looked at Li Xie with his eyes wide open, a glimmer shining in his eyes.


    Since you are from the Guangxuan City, isn''t it too much to call you a stray dog? The Xiong side said with a smile that did not reach his eyes.


    Hahaha! Brother Xiong''s words are very fitting!


    Brat, you should hurry up and leave this place!


    That''s right, your whole body is covered in bad luck right now. It''s really unlucky!


    Li Xie looked around, the group of people who did not dare to make a sound before the might of the strong were currently mocking him.


    Brat, if you know what''s good for you, then quickly come and kowtow to me. Perhaps I''ll let you stay in the Sangzhou City to live on! The Xiong side sneered.


    The strong side, you can''t be so rude to our guests! Mu Yunji stared at the Xiong side and shouted.


    The male side ignored Mu Yunji and punched Li Xie in the chest.


    Li Xie turned to the side, just in time to avoid the incoming fist.


    The male side glared at him like an angry tiger.


    In his eyes, Li Xie was just a lamb, he could ravage Li Xie however he wanted.


    Brat, just obediently die! Stop struggling! The Xiong side advised.


    Thank you for your kindness, but I won''t accept it. Li Xie replied calmly.


    The corner of the Hero''s mouth twitched, and he punched towards Li Xie''s vital points again and again.


    Under the onslaught of the fierce storm of attacks, the surrounding people all retreated.


    The strong side leaped, and instantly arrived behind Li Xie, and punched Li Xie''s back.


    Li Xie turned his body, allowing the fist of the male side to pass by him once again.


    The male side bared his teeth as he stared at Li Xie, wishing that he could rip him to shreds.


    With a wave of his right hand, a scimitar appeared in his hand. He felt that he needed to finish this battle quickly.


    Hiss! Hiss!


    On the male side, Elemental Energy s were injected into the scimitar, causing the scimitar to emit cold light, following that, he slashed towards Li Xie.


    Li Xie leaped up, as though he was stepping on the clouds, lightly and nimbly arriving behind the Xiong side.


    The male side turned around and once again slashed at Li Xie''s chest. The blade edge of the scimitar tore the air and emitted a fiery light.


    Clang!


    Li Xie unsheathed his sword and took the chance to strike the Nine Souls Sword forward. The onlookers'' offense came to an abrupt stop.


    After the Xiong side stabilized their footing, they couldn''t help but furrow their brows.


    The sword in Li Xie''s hand was not of ordinary rank, so the powerful side could naturally see through it.


    But even so, the Xiong side did not plan to let Li Xie see the sun tomorrow.


    Humph! The sword in your hand is mine! Just as he finished speaking, the male side rushed in front of Li Xie.


    Sou sou ¡­


    The heroic side brandished the bent blade in their hands tightly, not giving Li Xie any chance to catch his breath.


    Li Xie waved the Nine Souls Sword, allowing it''s Sword Qi to howl out.


    Under the clash of the Sword Qi and the blade, the courtyard in front of the City Lord''s Mansion living room was covered in dust.


    The male side clenched their teeth, and once again threw Elemental Energy s into the curved blade in his hand.


    He was already a Martial Cultivator of the upper levels of the Profound Realm, and his Martial Cultivator was above Li Xie.


    Clang!


    The Nine Souls Sword and the scimitar clashed again, causing thunder and lightning to flash in the sky.


    He did not expect Li Xie to be able to compete with him for so long.


    The Xiong side was enraged, and there was a raging fire in his eyes.


    Go to hell! With an explosive shout, the male side rose up with his scimitar in hand.


    Swoosh!


    The mighty side descended from the sky, slashing a blade at Li Xie''s head.


    The strong side had already mobilized all of the Elemental Energy s, enough to split the mountain.


    He was smiling coldly, waiting to see how Li Xie looked like with his head separated from his body.


    Boom!


    The other side was shocked. The scimitar in his hand had been instantly disintegrated!


    He immediately landed on his heels and quickly retreated. His forehead was already dripping with sweat.


    At this moment, in his eyes, Li Xie seemed to have grown three heads and six arms.


    Li Xie walked towards the male direction with the Nine Souls Sword in hand, the cold light on the blade edge splattering everywhere.


    The Xiong side looked back. He had already reached the point where he had no place to retreat to.


    Behind him stood a group of people from various sects and families that were watching the show. The male side felt that the gazes that landed on him were filled with contempt.


    The powerful side gritted his teeth as he rushed towards Li Xie, the veins on his fists bulging once again!


    "Hiss ¡­"


    The Sword Qi flashed by, and in the blink of an eye, the man was lying on the ground.


    Li Xie strode like a meteor to the side of the Xiong side, raising his Nine Souls Sword and dropping downwards, he instantly cut off the martial veins of the Xiong side.


    Ah ¡­


    Following the Xiong side''s miserable cries, Li Xie pulled out the remaining Martial Veins from his wrist.


    When Li Xie threw the remaining Martial Veins of the male side to the side, the male side had already fainted.


    Just as Li Xie was worrying that he couldn''t find someone to vent his feelings on, Xiong Yi found it convenient to deliver himself up.

 C40

    Li Xie stood up, and looked around at his surroundings once again. At this moment, the noble families and factions within the Sangzhou City had already changed their gazes when they looked at him.


    The looks of contempt from before were now filled with amazement.


    Li Xie withdrew his Nine Souls Sword and quickly walked in front of Mu Yunji, clasping his fist and bowing to Mu Yunji once more.


    At this moment, he was in an extremely good mood. After defeating the strong side, Li Xie did not look down on others like the strong side.


    I assume you are Young Master Li Li Xie? Mu Yunji asked in anticipation.


    That''s right, I am him! Li Xie replied full of energy.


    Ah!" So he was actually Li Xie!


    Who would have thought that he would be so valiant! We were all stunned just now!


    Li Xie secretly laughed, these people really knew how to see the wind and order things, the speed at which they change was so fast that it left people speechless.


    Young Master Li, this time Devil Monarch will definitely lead all of you out with Devil Clan. For Sangzhou City, you have to give me a hand! Mu Yunji said.


    It was his responsibility! Li Xie said resolutely.


    In the blink of an eye, the sky darkened, and the streets and alleys of Sangzhou City returned to their usual tranquility.


    Inside the Sangzhou City, Li Xie was standing in the front courtyard admiring the moonlight.


    Compared to the moonlight from Guangxuan City, the moonlight from Sangzhou City was actually not that special. However, Guangxuan City was Li Xie''s home, which gave rise to a lot of feelings from the moonlight from Guangxuan City.


    At this moment, the soldiers of City Lord''s Mansion hurriedly ran towards the study where Mu Yunji was.


    Li Xie thought that something big must have happened and he quickly walked towards the study room.


    It turned out that a group of Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s had snuck into the Martial Temple from the east of the city. There was a well in the courtyard of the Martial Temple, so the citizens of the east of the city would come to the well to draw water.


    The Martial Cultivator wanted to poison the well so that the citizens of the east side of the city would be poisoned.


    After knowing about this, Li Xie naturally would not choose to stand idly by the side and watch.


    When Li Xie and the City Lord''s Mansion soldiers rushed to the Martial Temple, the other sects and families had already surrounded the Martial Temple.


    Li Xie looked inside the Martial Temple. It was pitch black, he could not see his body, and could only smell waves of demonic Qi being emitted from inside.


    Li Xie unsheathed his sword and rushed into the Martial Temple.


    Just as the commanders of the City Lord''s Mansion were about to follow him, the people outside the Martial Temple stopped him.


    The commander of the City Lord''s Mansion frowned as he swept a glance over everyone. He instantly understood what was going on.


    When Li Xie rushed into the Martial Temple, it was extremely quiet, and the figures of the Devil Clan and Martial Cultivator were nowhere to be seen.


    Suddenly, several iron chains descended from the sky and tied Li Xie up.


    No matter how Li Xie struggled, the iron chains that bound him remained still.


    Li Xie frowned, he had unknowingly fallen into a trap.


    Just then, all the sects and schools surrounding the Martial Temple rushed in, and stood around Li Xie and stared at him coldly.


    They were now just like a pack of fierce wolves, and Li Xie was their prey.


    Now that the prey was trapped, they, the pack of wolves, could ravage it as they pleased.


    What are you doing? The commander of the City Lord''s Mansion looked at the crowd and asked.


    Commander Ding, why are you so stupid! Li Xie is the thorn in Devil Monarch''s heart, if we tie him up and give him to Devil Monarch, maybe he will let us go!


    That''s right! The reason we are doing this is for the safety of our Sangzhou City!


    Even if the Devil Monarch does not let us off, we can at least delay us for a few days.


    Commander Ding shook his head. They were too naive!


    However, at this point, Commander Ding was powerless to stop them and had to return to report to Mu Yunji.


    When Mu Yun Chu found out about this news, he immediately sent people to escort Li Xie to the Sangzhou City''s dungeon.


    Commander Ding did not understand why Mu Yun would do this, but he still followed the order.


    The dungeon inside the Sangzhou City was dark, and the arrangement inside the dungeon was very simple and crude. However, there was still a bed that he could lay on to rest.


    After being escorted into the dungeon, Li Xie laid on the bed in the dungeon leisurely.


    This bed was just an ordinary wooden bed with a layer of straw on top.


    Even if there was no wind, it would still feel chilly in the middle of the night.


    It was very quiet in the dungeon, and one could hear the sound of insects, snakes, rats, and ants passing by at any time.


    Li Xie closed his eyes and rested quietly, ignoring the voices.


    The Nine Souls Sword was lying beside Li Xie, and it was resting like Li Xie.


    Creak ¡­


    The door to the dungeon was opened from the outside but Li Xie did not open his eyes because of this.


    The sound of footsteps came from afar and the dungeon was empty, so Li Xie could hear his voice.


    When the footsteps suddenly stopped, the person who came was already standing in front of the iron door of Li Xie''s cell.


    The person who came was the city lord of Sangzhou City, Mu Yun Chu, he had specially come to visit Li Xie.


    Mu Yun originally thought that Li Xie would gloomily pace back and forth in the dungeon, but he didn''t expect that Li Xie was still in the mood to close his eyes and rest.


    Right now, Mu Yun Chu understood more and more why Devil Monarch would view Li Xie as a thorn in his side. He was indeed different from the other Martial Cultivator s.


    Mu Yunji stroked his long beard, he really wanted to know Li Xie''s thoughts at this moment.


    Mu Yunji gently touched the lock on the metal door, and it instantly opened and fell to the ground.


    Mu Yunji pushed open the door and strode like a meteor to Li Xie''s side.


    Li Xie was still resting with his eyes closed, not caring one bit about the person standing beside him.


    Young Master Li. Mu Yunji shouted.


    Li Xie opened his eyes in a daze and then stretched.


    It was only at this moment that he noticed that the one standing beside him was Mu Yunji. He immediately bowed towards Mu Yunji.


    The corner of Mu Yunji''s mouth slightly raised. To Li Xie, this place was no different from the outside.


    City Lord Mu Yun, the humidity in the dungeon is too heavy and the lighting is too poor. You shouldn''t have come to this sort of place. Li Xie said.


    Young Master Li, you should be trying to kill me! Mu Yunji said.


    Fiends? There''s no need for that. You guys are just thinking about the safety of our Sangzhou City! Li Xie said naturally.


    Mu Yunji had been staring at Li Xie''s eyes the whole time, he was sure that Li Xie was not mocking them.


    Young Master Li, be at ease and stay in the dungeon for a few days. Devil Monarch will definitely send someone to take your head away. Mu Yunji said.


    I wish he could do it himself! Li Xie said with an expectant tone.


    Mu Yunji''s brows twitched, he naturally understood the meaning behind Li Xie''s words.


    Actually, they had intentionally captured Li Xie and trapped him in this dungeon. He was even a little impatient to see Devil Monarch.


    Although the Devil Monarch was a killing demon to Li Xie, he was not afraid.


    Mu Yun Chu now understood why Li Xie was known as the Guangxuan City''s most talented young Martial Cultivator, and why he was not like those tigers and monkeys who lived in the mountains who called him an Overlord.


    Boom ¡­


    City Lord, someone from the Devil Clan has barged in!


    Mu Yunji hastily turned his head, and a wave of demonic energy rushed towards him.


    Mu Yunji was secretly startled. The Devil Clan had actually sent people over so quickly.


    The demonic energy continued to condense, and finally revealed his true appearance.


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth raised, although Devil Monarch did not personally take action, he had sent his Devil Clan and right Protector, so his strength was not shallow.


    The Devil Clan Right Protector made a decision and cupped his fists towards Mu Yun Chu, his attitude quite polite.


    In their eyes, Sangzhou City was soon going to be the second city on their Devil Clan.


    Even Mu Yunji, as the master of Sangzhou City, had to listen to their commands in the end.

 C41

    He decisively shifted his gaze away from Mu Yunji and landed on Li Xie''s body.


    The last time Li Xie was able to escape from the Devil Monarch''s hands, was truly out of his expectations.


    Li Xie''s eyes were still as determined as ever, he wasn''t surprised at all when he made the decision.


    He acted rashly and circled Li Xie once, the last time he fought with Devil Monarch, Li Xie was heavily injured, as though he had recovered pretty well during this period.


    When he came to a sudden decision, he stopped and stood in front of Li Xie once again.


    The reason he came to the Sangzhou City this time was to retrieve Li Xie''s head and bring it back to the Thousand Void Mountain.


    City Lord Mu Yun, you can leave now! He decisively glanced at Mu Yunji and said.


    What exactly will your Devil Monarch do to our Sangzhou City? Mu Yunji asked with a straight face.


    As long as you take the initiative to convince all the citizens and powers in the Sangzhou City to submit to you, Sir Devil Monarch, we will not destroy our Sangzhou City. He said without thinking.


    The words that came out of his mouth were cruel. Although Mu Yunji had rejected this idea, it seemed that he had no other choice.


    Your Devil Monarch is truly ambitious! Mu Yunji sighed.


    This was natural, as the saying went, the greater one''s ability, the greater one''s ambition! He said with a smile.


    Alright, I hope you won''t go back on your words! Mu Yunji frowned as he spoke.


    Rest assured, City Lord Mu Yun, our Devil Clan emphasizes on integrity! He said without thinking.


    Mu Yun Chu glanced at Li Xie, then turned and walked towards the exit of the dungeon.


    When Mu Yunji''s figure had already disappeared into the distance, he decisively looked away.


    She glared coldly at Li Xie, her lips curling into a fierce smile.


    Because of Li Xie, last time, several hundred s of the Twin Sun Hall had died, and their blood stained the ground red.


    Li Xie, oh Li Xie, you will die by my hands in the end! Ye Zichen twitched his mouth and said.


    Is that so? I don''t think so! Li Xie replied indifferently.


    He then called out his left and right hands, summoning a blade and holding it tightly.


    He had chosen to be a Martial Cultivator of the lower level of the Burning Realm, while Li Xie was still a Martial Cultivator of the lower level of the Origin Realm.


    Even if the two Li Xie s joined hands to deal with him, they would still be able to kill him with confidence.


    Bang!


    He brandished the two sabers in his hand and the iron prison instantly collapsed.


    His figure flashed, and decisively moved ten steps away from Li Xie.


    Before he had personally taken down Li Xie''s head, he had thought that it was necessary to destroy the determination in Li Xie''s eyes bit by bit.


    Swoosh!


    The two strong blades both pounced at Li Xie, filling the dungeon with a cold light.


    Li Xie unsheathed the Nine Souls Sword from the scabbard on his back and walked forward to receive the attack.


    Other than Devil Monarch, what Li Xie wanted to defeat the most was recklessness.


    Looking at the entire Devil Clan, he was definitely a strong Ranker who was only second to the Devil Monarch.


    The blade tip whistled past, Li Xie turned to look, the wall behind him was already full of holes.


    Yuan Zhou swung his saber recklessly and leaped up, just like a fierce tiger leaving the mountain. The momentum was terrifying!


    Clang!


    It was as though the heavens were collapsing and the earth was collapsing as he decisively brandished his two blades to slash at Li Xie''s head.


    Li Xie raised his Nine Souls Sword and used the Sword Qi to strike at the top of his head.


    He immediately retracted his blades and waved them in front of his chest, causing the Sword Qi to be destroyed.


    If looks could kill, he would have cut Li Xie into pieces long ago.


    Clang!


    Both blades swung towards Li Xie at the same time, causing a violent wind and storm to immediately blow, causing dust to fly into the dungeon.


    Zhang Jue gripped his twin blades and rushed towards Li Xie, his footsteps reverberating in the dungeon.


    He was like a magnificent army, and the aura of recklessness did not lessen.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    The Sword Qi went forward to face the adversity, and immediately caused his reckless charge to come to a sudden halt.


    The corner of Yuan Jue''s mouth twitched, after which his figure flashed and appeared behind Li Xie.


    He decisively stared coldly at Li Xie, and at this moment, knife scars could be seen everywhere on Li Xie''s body.


    This was only the beginning, what was to follow next would only make Li Xie feel worse than death.


    Boom!


    Following this reckless decision, he channeled a strong surge of demonic energy into his dual blades, causing the edge of the blades to slash towards Li Xie.


    In a split-second, Li Xie gripped the Nine Souls Sword tightly and swung it forward.


    In an instant, the dungeon was filled with the sounds of the Sword Qi and the blade colliding.


    He continued to indiscriminately inject demon qi into the twin blades, causing them to reveal their sharp edges.


    Even though his eyes were narrowed into a line, he still couldn''t stop his killing intent from being released.


    Infuriated!


    Rumble rumble rumble!


    The blade held in his left and right hands had already disintegrated.


    He quickly retreated, and at this moment, everyone in front of him seemed to be dashing back and forth using Sword Qi.


    He panicked a little, he did not expect that Li Xie''s sword moves would be even more powerful than last time at the Double Sun Hall.


    "Whiz!"


    When he turned back to look, he was already surrounded by the Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi.


    At this moment, Duo Da''s perspiring face turned into a disaster.


    He breathed heavily, and his heartbeat became faster and faster.


    He clenched his fists in order to calm himself down as soon as possible, but things went the other way.


    Boom!


    The Sword Qi was like a torrential storm, instantly falling onto Luo Yuan''s body.


    The heartbreaking screams of agony were drowned out by the sounds produced by the Sword Qi''s whistling sound. Even those who had acted blindly could not hear their own voices.


    Not long after, the power of the Sky Fury Skill gradually dissipated, and the profound energy in the dungeon returned to its previous dimness.


    Li Xie held the Nine Souls Sword in his hand and quickly walked to the side of Huang Jue. At this moment, Fu Jue''s body was covered with injuries, his martial veins were all destroyed.


    Advertisement It took all his strength to raise his head and look at Li Xie, then he closed his eyes.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows, he realized that this reckless decision was actually made from a mortal Martial Cultivator.


    If you think so, why did you join the Transcendents under the Devil Monarch to help the evil? Li Xie asked harshly.


    The Transcendents had already decayed, and the prestigious and aristocratic families as well as the upstanding had already started fighting with each other for fame and fortune. The East Qin Kingdom was already full of miasma, so it would be better for them to push down and rebuild a brand-new nation! After opening his eyes, Yuan Zhou said.


    My presumptuous decision, don''t you think of the Devil Monarch too highly? Li Xie sneered.


    No, he wrote his ambitions on his face, unlike some of the Transcendents who were crafty and extremely hypocritical! He said indignantly.


    Just wait here peacefully, I will calm the Devil Monarch down! Li Xie said firmly.


    Humph! Your memory at such a young age is this bad, last time you were almost killed by Devil Monarch! Master Devil Monarch is much stronger than me! He said coldly.


    Li Xie didn''t bother with his reckless decision as he walked forward quickly, all the way until he left the dungeon.


    When Li Xie walked out of the dungeon, he looked around him and saw that the Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s who had gathered together with him had all been taken.


    I believe that the news will quickly spread to the Thousand Void Mountain and Devil Monarch will definitely be furious.


    Li Xie raised his head and looked at the sky.


    A few hours later, the sky was dark, as if the sky was gradually collapsing.


    The courtyard in front of the City Lord''s Mansion and City Lord''s Mansion living room was already filled with people, all of them tightly knitted their brows, the back of their hands sweating.


    At that moment, Li Xie stood on the roof of the living room, many people looked at him with anger.


    Perhaps, in their eyes, as long as they gave Li Xie''s head as an offering to the Devil Monarch, they would be able to survive this calamity safely.

 C42

    Compared to the others, Mu Yun Chu was sitting on the seat of the master in the City Lord''s Mansion living room, sipping tea.


    Commander Ding stood beside Mu Yunji. At this moment, he was extremely nervous.


    However, when Commander Ding saw Mu Yunji''s calm expression, he could finally calm down a little.


    "Hiss ¡­" "Hiss ¡­" "Hiss ¡­"


    Li Xie''s brows twitched, he could feel waves of demonic energy approaching the city gates.


    At this moment, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the dim sky above the Sangzhou City.


    All the influential families and respectable people in the courtyard in front of the City Lord''s Mansion Main Hall stopped in their tracks, and looked towards the city gate at the same time.


    Devil Monarch had already brought over thousands of Devil Clan Martial Cultivator, so a great battle was about to happen.


    Mu Yunji placed the teacup to the side and quickly walked out of the living room.


    He raised his head and looked at Li Xie, and then took a look at the sky.


    He did not regret it. Even if he died, he would not be in cahoots with the Devil Monarch.


    City Lord!


    In the courtyard in front of the living room, all of the distinguished families and righteous people turned around and bowed towards Mu Yunji. Their eyebrows were all locked together and their lips were pale.


    Mu Yunji indicated that there was no need for them to be so polite, and then he placed his hands behind his back. The others frowned, but he remained calm and composed.


    As the city lord of Sangzhou City, how could Mu Yunji let his guard down?


    So what if the Devil Clan had arrived before the city gates, he, Mu Yunji, would not even furrow his brows.


    City Lord, please listen to our words of advice, hurry up and give the head of Li Xie to Devil Monarch!


    That''s right! City Lord! Right now, this is the only thing we can do!


    You don''t have to say anything. At this moment, we should prepare for a battle to the death! Mu Yunji excitedly said.


    Boom!


    Everyone looked up to see that Li Xie had already rushed to the entrance of the city gate with a Nine Souls Sword in his hand.


    The corner of Mu Yunji''s mouth raised slightly. Afterwards, he squeezed through the crowd and walked towards the entrance of City Lord''s Mansion.


    After everyone recovered from their shock, they followed Mu Yunji''s footsteps and rushed out.


    When everyone had reached the entrance of Sangzhou City City, there were already many Martial Cultivator standing outside the city gates.


    The Devil Clan Martial Cultivator was like a pack of vicious wolves, staring at the people within the city with fiendish expressions.


    Devil Monarch stood on top of the city walls. A gentle breeze blew and the corners of his clothes fluttered.


    Li Xie stood opposite to the Devil Monarch, and the Nine Souls Sword in his hands was as excited as he was.


    Devil Monarch watched Li Xie calmly. He was actually defeated by Li Xie, and furthermore, Li Xie did not receive any serious injuries after fighting against, which made him a little surprised.


    At this point in time, he would be trapped in the dungeon of Sangzhou City, and when his Devil Clan flattened his body, he would be able to see the light of day again.


    Suddenly, a thought-provoking smile flashed across Devil Monarch''s lips.


    Li Xie frowned, because he felt an ominous feeling.


    Mu Yun had raised his head and looked at Devil Monarch for the first time. It was not the first time that he had heard of Devil Monarch''s vicious name.


    Devil Monarch''s hands were already stained with blood, and his entire body was emitting a frightening killing intent.


    In the eyes of the Devil Monarch, it seemed as if he only needed to use his pinky to easily destroy such a huge set of Sangzhou City.


    Mu Yun Chu found it strange that Devil Monarch''s eyes didn''t show any signs of anger.


    Li Xie, we meet again! Devil Monarch said, his tone sounded like he was reuniting with an old friend.


    That''s right, you''ve caused quite a lot of bloodshed in the past half month! Li Xie shouted in anger.


    So what? I will now destroy the entire East Qin Kingdom, but it''s a pity that you won''t see that day! Devil Monarch said in high spirits.


    You should be the one who should not be able to see that day! Li Xie said with a gloomy face.


    "Ugh ¡­" Do you think you can survive this time? Devil Monarch said coldly.


    Of course! Li Xie replied with determination.


    The corners of the Devil Monarch''s mouth raised, and then, with a wave of his hand, the Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s began to rush into the city.


    The originally clear sky was suddenly covered by dark clouds. It was very likely that there would be a torrential downpour in the next moment.


    Kill!


    In an instant, the entire Sangzhou City City was filled with the sounds of swords flashing.


    The Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they charged forward, causing the ground to tremble.


    Mu Yun Chu unsheathed his sword. Although he had already been the master of Sangzhou City for more than twenty years, he was still a Martial Cultivator when he was young.


    Mu Yun Chu waved his blade and charged at the front, followed by the other families and righteous Martial Cultivator s.


    The Devil Monarch standing on top of the city wall looked down at everything. He was waiting to see the scene of blood flowing like a river.


    Guangxuan City had already sincerely submitted at his feet, he would not let Sangzhou City slip through the gaps of his fingers.


    When Devil Monarch retracted his gaze, his eyes became extremely fierce.


    Boom!


    Devil Monarch stared at him, at the same time, he opened his palms, and streams of demon qi rushed towards Li Xie.


    Li Xie waved his Nine Souls Sword, allowing the demonic energy that was rushing towards him to return empty-handed.


    Then, Li Xie raised his Nine Souls Sword and approached Devil Monarch.


    Devil Monarch watched Li Xie indifferently. For the past half month, Li Xie did not move an inch.


    The more it was like this, the more excited Devil Monarch became.


    Boom!


    Like stormy waves, the demonic energy once again rushed at Li Xie.


    This time, the demon qi chose to attack from the front and back, not giving Li Xie the chance to catch his breath.


    Li Xie waved the Nine Souls Sword back and forth. The Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi galloped wildly, and the Elemental Energy in his body was burning.


    Hiss! Hiss!


    Beside Li Xie''s ears, the sounds of Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi and demonic energy clashing echoed.


    The demonic energy that was being driven by the Devil Monarch was simply too strong, the Sword Qi were being devoured one after another.


    Demonic Qi came from all directions, causing Li Xie to frown.


    Bang!


    Li Xie held the Nine Souls Sword and raised it, waves after waves of Elemental Energy were injected into it, causing the Nine Souls Sword to light up in all directions, and a hole in the demonic qi.


    Li Xie stomped his feet on the ground and took the opportunity to leap out of the demonic Qi''s encirclement.


    Devil Monarch''s mouth formed a smile, and then he urged his demon qi to attack Li Xie again.


    He didn''t believe that Li Xie would be able to hold on for long, that there would be a time when he would be completely exhausted.


    At that time, the surging demonic energy would tear Li Xie to pieces.


    Boom!


    A wave of demonic aura was like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, it instantly rushed to Li Xie, who was brandishing his Nine Souls Sword, releasing the Sword Qi.


    Even though Li Xie''s arm that was swinging the Nine Souls Sword had become numb, he still continued to wave it nonstop.


    If he fell, the Sangzhou City behind him would be ravaged to the point where it was covered in wounds.


    Li Xie clenched his Nine Souls Sword tightly and continued forward.


    Hiss! Hiss!


    Streams of devil energy were being dispersed by the s, allowing Li Xie to get closer and closer to the Devil Monarch.


    With a light tap of his feet, the Devil Monarch instantly arrived above Li Xie.


    Devil Monarch laughed coldly. He liked the feeling of being looked up to.


    As the Devil Monarch raised his hands high up in the air, the flames condensed by the demonic energy burned brightly, enough to burn the entire Sangzhou City.


    In order to send Li Xie on his way as soon as possible, the Devil Monarch decided to exhaust even more devil energy.


    Go to hell!


    Bang!


    The flames and Nine Souls Sword clashed together, causing lightning to flash, thunder to roar, and fierce winds to howl.


    The flames that were condensed from demonic energy spread along the Nine Souls Sword s body toward Li Xie, attempting to burn him into ashes.


    The Devil Monarch watched everything attentively. Li Xie was actually the first Transcendent Martial Cultivator to be able to make him use demonic energy to condense into a flame.


    Hiss!


    Devil Monarch opened his eyes wide, the Demon Qi had condensed into a ball of fire but Li Xie was still not burnt to ashes!

 C43

    Li Xie brandished the Nine Souls Sword as the flames formed from his devil energy gradually withered.


    At this moment, the roars of the Nine Souls Sword s and Sword Qi s were already deafening.


    Boom!


    Just at this moment, Devil Monarch swung out his left hand and a thick wave of demonic energy pounced at Li Xie, causing him to be caught off guard and sent flying.


    The Devil Monarch said with a cold smile, he felt that he still held the upper hand.


    Bang!


    The instant Li Xie landed on the ground, the house beneath him collapsed with a loud rumble.


    Walls, rubble, tables, chairs, flowers, plants, everything was destroyed.


    As the dust flew, Li Xie walked out of the collapsed building, the clothes on his body were tattered beyond recognition.


    Devil Monarch''s figure flashed, and instantly stood ten steps away from Li Xie.


    The Devil Monarch could see that the Elemental Energy inside Li Xie''s body was already on the verge of drying up. Maybe in the next moment, Li Xie would collapse onto the ground with a loud bang.


    Devil Monarch glared and Demon Qi swept up rocks and dust that covered the ground as they rushed towards Li Xie. If Li Xie was even slightly slower, he would have been drowned out by it.


    In that moment of life and death, the Purple Radiant Primordial Fire in Li Xie''s body opened its eyes.


    Like a pair of giant hands, they brushed away the thick mist covering Li Xie.


    "Whiz!"


    As the Purple Radiant True Flame opened its eyes, Li Xie''s originally exhausted body became filled with energy.


    Devil Monarch was secretly fearful when he saw all of this.


    Boom!


    The demonic energy and the stone dust that were charging towards Li Xie were all flattened without any ripples.


    The Nine Souls Sword in Li Xie''s hand was emitting light, like the moonlight in the dark night.


    Devil Monarch''s mouth twitched, after that he turned the demonic Qi into a sharp sword and held it tightly in his hand.


    In a blink of an eye, Devil Monarch appeared beside Li Xie and thrusted the sword towards Li Xie''s heart.


    The sharp sword in Devil Monarch''s hand tore through the air, releasing sparks.


    In these few hundred years, he had never been as angry as he was today before.


    Clang!


    The moment the Nine Souls Sword s in Li Xie''s hands clashed with the sharp sword in the Devil Monarch''s hands, the houses around them all collapsed.


    The Sword Qi and devil energy were released, causing the Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s and Martial Cultivator s to avoid the attacks one after another.


    Devil Monarch pushed the sword forward, attempting to cut Li Xie and the Nine Souls Sword apart.


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth rose. He could feel that the Devil Monarch was becoming more and more urgent.


    At this moment, Devil Monarch was no longer the calm and composed Devil Monarch he was just now.


    Devil Monarch grinned. He was trying his best to regain his composure!


    Swoosh!


    Li Xie suddenly turned his body, and took the chance to pull back the Nine Souls Sword''s abdomen that was slashing towards Devil Monarch.


    Devil Monarch raised his eyebrows, and unknowingly, Li Xie actually started to turn from defense to offense.


    This kind of feeling was too unbearable, Devil Monarch''s eyes immediately lit up with fire!


    Devil Monarch did not dodge Li Xie''s sword. Instead, he raised his sword and slashed at Li Xie''s neck. His speed was extremely fast, as fast as lightning!


    Li Xie withdrew his Nine Souls Sword and in a flash, increased the distance between him and the Devil Monarch.


    Devil Monarch looked at Li Xie with squinted eyes, as if everything was under his control.


    Hiss! Hiss!


    Li Xie brandished his Nine Souls Sword and rushed to the front of Devil Monarch, swinging sword after sword as the Sword Qi whistled and attacked the Devil Monarch.


    Devil Monarch waved the sharp sword in his hand as he drove his devil energy to attack Li Xie''s back.


    Unexpectedly, the demonic energy that had ambushed Li Xie was torn apart by a pair of invisible hands and scattered on the ground.


    Devil Monarch frowned, as he suddenly realized that he didn''t recognize Li Xie at all.


    Swoosh!


    The Sword Qi followed the flash of sword light, Devil Monarch kept his sword and retreated. After stabilizing himself, he lowered his head to look, the clothes on his chest was already dyed red with blood.


    Devil Monarch glared at Li Xie, and then activated all of the Demonic Qi in his body.


    Li Xie clenched his Nine Souls Sword tightly, and he could feel waves after waves of strong demonic energy pouncing towards his face.


    Go to hell!


    Devil Monarch roared out explosively, and then his figure flashed as he appeared in front of Li Xie, and his sword stabbed towards Li Xie''s heart.


    Boom!


    Although Li Xie raised the Nine Souls Sword in front of him to protect himself, Devil Monarch''s sword was extremely powerful, and in the end, he was still sent flying.


    After falling to the ground, Li Xie used his left hand to prop himself up.


    How was this possible!


    He and Li Xie had been fighting for so long, yet Li Xie was still able to stand in front of him.


    At this time, Devil Monarch''s eyes were completely bloodshot, and his facial features were twisted together.


    Li Xie held the Nine Souls Sword in his hand and walked quickly towards the Devil Monarch. Unexpectedly, it was as if he was stepping on clouds as he jumped onto the walls of Sangzhou City.


    Devil Monarch looked down at Li Xie once again. He wasn''t prepared to die together with Li Xie.


    The Devil Monarch laughed coldly, as if he could already see the heart-wrenching look Li Xie would have in the near future, it was just too interesting.


    Just then, Devil Monarch took out a stalk of grass from his sleeve. This grass was no ordinary grass, it was emitting spirit energy.


    Under Devil Monarch''s gaze, the grass in his hands floated up gently and then landed on the ground.


    As the spirit energy continued to be released and condensed together again and again, a young lady appeared beside Devil Monarch. She was Sun Pei.


    Miss Sun! Li Xie shouted loudly!


    When Sun Pei heard Li Xie''s voice, she slowly opened her eyes.


    For the past few days, she had been in a deep slumber. Only now did she wake up.


    Sun Pei tried to run towards Li Xie, but Devil Monarch raised his eyebrows and a strand of demonic qi appeared and wrapped around his legs, preventing him from escaping.


    Let me go! Sun Pei turned her face and stared at Devil Monarch, and shouted.


    Devil Monarch ignored Sun Pei, and continued to look coldly at him.


    He actually wanted to see how long it would take before he could see the expression of panic on Li Xie''s face. Devil Monarch was well aware of how important Sun Pei was in Li Xie''s heart.


    Li Xie leapt up with the Nine Souls Sword in his hand and landed on the city wall opposite of Devil Monarch.


    Li Xie, there are only two choices left to you, the first is to immediately surrender, the second is to use the sword in your hand to cut off your own Martial Veins! The Devil Monarch said.


    I don''t want to take either of these paths. I want to take the third path! Li Xie said.


    Oh, do you want to watch Sun Pei die in front of you? Devil Monarch asked coldly.


    You, a stately Devil Monarch of the Devil Clan, actually used your life to threaten Li Xie today! Sun Pei said as she stared at Devil Monarch.


    Humph! In order to achieve great things, you don''t have to bother with small matters. Devil Monarch rolled his eyes at Sun Pei, and said angrily.


    Swift as lightning, in an instant, Li Xie sprung up from the ground as he brandished the Nine Souls Sword, and pierced towards the vital parts of the Devil Monarch.


    Devil Monarch raised his hand and grabbed the Nine Souls Sword in Li Xie''s hand.


    Li Xie, your heart is already in a mess, you are about to die! The corner of Devil Monarch''s mouth twitched as he said.


    Boom!


    Devil Monarch swung his fist at Li Xie''s chest. Li Xie fell from the sky as if he had been struck by a huge rock.


    Bang!


    The moment Li Xie fell to the ground, the ground behind him turned into a huge crater.


    Li Xie crawled out of the pit with a frown. At this moment, he was covered with wounds.


    Devil Monarch descended from the sky and stood right in front of Li Xie.


    The sounds of battle from the Sangzhou City continued, causing the blood of the Devil Monarch to boil.


    Devil Monarch approached Li Xie step by step. In his eyes, Li Xie was only left with one last breath, and he would make Li Xie quickly swallow it down.

 C44

    Under Devil Monarch''s attentive gaze, Li Xie actually took the initiative to walk towards him.


    The Devil Monarch smiled coldly. Li Xie was indeed a Martial Cultivator who would never admit defeat.


    If possible, Devil Monarch was willing to invite Li Xie to join their Devil Clan, but Devil Monarch knew that this was definitely an impossible task.


    Li Xie was also someone who had the strength to control the Go Board, not someone who could become a pawn in the hands of others.


    As fast as lightning, Devil Monarch''s figure flashed and he stood in front of Li Xie.


    Devil Monarch reached out his left hand and grabbed Li Xie''s throat, while he lifted him up.


    Even so, Devil Monarch still did not see any dejection in Li Xie''s eyes.


    The corner of Devil Monarch''s mouth twitched, he would silently watch Li Xie as he closed his eyes forever.


    Brother Li!


    A clear yet familiar voice floated to Li Xie''s ears under the gentle breeze, and Li Xie''s eyes instantly recovered their luster.


    Li Xie clenched his fists, and the Elemental Energy started surging inside his body once again.


    All of these were seen by Devil Monarch. He swung his right hand backwards, and a strand of devil energy pounced towards Sun Pei, causing Sun Pei''s beautiful face to instantly go pale!


    Devil Monarch, I won''t allow you to hurt her! Li Xie said angrily.


    Humph! You can''t even protect yourself now! Devil Monarch said coldly.


    Boom!


    The Nine Souls Sword rose into the air under Li Xie''s control and then pierced through the air towards Devil Monarch''s back.


    Devil Monarch immediately turned around to look, but unexpectedly, the Nine Souls Sword cut his left arm.


    Devil Monarch bared his teeth as he stared at Li Xie, wishing that he could swallow Li Xie whole.


    "Ugh ¡­"


    Abruptly, Li Xie pried open Devil Monarch''s left hand, raised his leg and kicked at Devil Monarch''s abdomen.


    Devil Monarch staggered back, but kept staring at Li Xie.


    When Devil Monarch stabilized his steps, he once again circulated the Demonic Qi in his body, his entire body was filled with energy.


    Devil Monarch did not expect that just now, when Li Xie was completely exhausted, he would actually be able to retaliate.


    "Whiz!"


    Several Sword Qi s pounced towards Devil Monarch, causing him to summon the sharp sword condensed from demonic energy.


    The swords of the Devil Monarch were so dense that even wind could not penetrate through. One after another, the Sword Qi turned into ashes, and then, the Devil Monarch raised his swords and rushed towards Li Xie.


    Just then, the Devil Monarch suddenly jumped up and stood beside Sun Pei.


    As long as Sun Pei was in his hands, he could be certain that Li Xie would not dare to shoot at him in the end.


    Devil Monarch looked down at Li Xie and saw hesitation in his eyes.


    Just then, Li Xie held onto the Nine Souls Sword tightly and jumped towards Devil Monarch.


    Li Xie, are you not going to care about Sun Pei''s life? Devil Monarch asked in a stern voice.


    Just then, the feather spirit sword listened to Sun Pei''s orders and appeared beside Sun Pei, thrusting towards Devil Monarch''s abdomen.


    Devil Monarch glared at him, causing the attacks of the Yu Ling Sword to come to a sudden halt.


    Li Xie seized this fleeting opportunity, raised his Nine Souls Sword and swung it towards the Devil Monarch''s head.


    The Devil Monarch stepped on the ground slightly, then took the chance to swing the sword in his hand and slashed at Li Xie''s chest.


    Clang! Clang!


    As if the mountains had collapsed and the earth had cracked, the Nine Souls Sword and the Devil Monarch''s sharp sword were clashing crazily.


    The demonic energy in Devil Monarch''s body became thinner and thinner, and soon after, the might of the demonic energy that was controlling Sun Pei also weakened.


    The Feather Spirit Sword released the Sword Qi, chipping away at the demonic Qi that was binding Sun Pei.


    Devil Monarch turned his face to the side. Just as he was about to wave his demon qi to deal with Sun Pei, the Nine Souls Sword flashed past and his left arm was once again injured.


    Sun Pei seized the opportunity to jump down the wall of Sangzhou City. She would not let Li Xie be distracted because of her.


    Hiss! Hiss!


    One after another, Sword Qi after another rushed towards Devil Monarch, immediately causing Devil Monarch to have no regard for anything else.


    Devil Monarch brandished the sharp sword in his hand, as the demonic qi continued to burn inside his body.


    A sense of unease surfaced in Devil Monarch''s heart. This feeling made him uncomfortable.


    Li Xie, you are not my opponent! The corners of Devil Monarch''s mouth twitched as he roared.


    These words were not only said for Li Xie to hear, it was also said for his own Devil Monarch!


    Infuriated!


    Boom!


    Just like a tsunami, the entire sky above the Sangzhou City was enveloped by the Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi.


    The Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s, famous families, and righteous Martial Cultivator s on the streets all raised their heads and looked up into the sky, immediately feeling fear and trepidation.


    The streets were littered with the corpses of s, famous Sangzhou City families, and righteous Martial Cultivator s.


    The of the Nine Souls Sword roared, its voice spiraling into every corner of the Sangzhou City.


    Devil Monarch gasped, he never thought that Li Xie had already broken through the second layer of the Rage Heavenly Arts.


    Last time, Devil Monarch had suffered a little because of the power of the Rage Heavenly Art. This time, the power of the Rage Heavenly Art was even more intense.


    Devil Monarch raised the sword in his hand and rushed towards Li Xie like a gale.


    Sou sou sou!


    The Sword Qi rushed towards Devil Monarch like a tidal wave, immediately drowning him.


    The sound of Sword Qi galloping back and forth could be heard, followed by the sound of his body being torn apart.


    The heavy armour on Devil Monarch''s body fell down one by one, eventually turning into ashes.


    At this time, Li Xie held onto the Nine Souls Sword tightly and swung it forward.


    Boom!


    Dozens of Sword Qi surged out, all rushing towards the Devil Monarch, with power that covered the sky.


    Ah!


    Bang!


    Hundreds of Sword Qi clashed together, causing lightning to flash, thunder to howl, and gales to howl.


    When the Sword Qi gradually dissipated, a messy Devil Monarch appeared in front of Li Xie.


    At this moment, Devil Monarch sat on the high walls of the city with a tired expression.


    Li Xie held the Nine Souls Sword and quickly walked to Devil Monarch''s side. Devil Monarch turned his face to look at Li Xie, then laughed coldly.


    The wind blew slowly, messing up the hair on Devil Monarch''s head, and blew away his wild hopes.


    Devil Monarch, you should rest! Li Xie lowered his voice and advised.


    No, this is not the time for me to rest! Devil Monarch refused.


    In fact, you have no other choice! Li Xie raised his eyebrows and said.


    I...


    Devil Monarch looked down and saw that his chest was already riddled with holes from the rampage of the Sword Qi.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Dozens of Sword Qi s rushed out of Devil Monarch''s body, and immediately caused the Devil Monarch to become a shell.


    Li Xie stepped forward and with a light push, Devil Monarch fell!


    Charge!


    The families and Martial Cultivator s of famous Sangzhou City roared. At this moment, the weapons in their hands were emitting a dazzling cold light.


    Several hours later, Li Xie and Sun Pei arrived at the Thousand Void Mountain, where the Devil Clan was located.


    Because the Devil Monarch was already scared out of his mind, Wan Kong Mountain was no longer as mysterious as before.


    The stone tablet guarding the outside of the Thousand Void Mountain had already lost its luster and was no longer able to regain its former elegance.


    The Devil Clan who had barged into the Sangzhou City had already been completely exterminated, and those who were guarding the Guangxuan City immediately fled upon hearing the news.


    No matter if it was the ordinary people or the Martial Cultivator, everyone surrounded and intercepted them.


    Even so, Li Xie still could not see a trace of smile on Sun Pei''s face.


    Li Xie knew what it was for, because the people of the Forgotten Tribe had not been saved.


    Li Xie and Sun Pei flipped through the Twin Sun Hall, but still, they did not see the figures of the people of Forgotten Tribe.


    Sun Pei frowned, she was worried that all of the people in the Forgotten Tribe had died at the hands of the Devil Clan Martial Cultivator s.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    Sun Pei and Li Xie looked towards the source of the sound and saw that the trees outside the Shuangyang Palace were swaying.


    More and more trees began to sway, as if life was awakening.


    After a while, the swaying trees returned to their human form.


    Sun Pei couldn''t help but be happy, because she smelled an increasingly dense amount of spirit energy.

 C45

    Sun Pei couldn''t help but walk forward, and her footsteps became lighter and lighter.


    Li Xie saw all of these and was happy.


    Squeak... Squeak...


    The trees outside the Shuangyang Temple and all the other parts of Mount Wankong were restored to their original state. Other than the people of the Forgotten Tribe, there were also the people of other places.


    Originally, the Devil Monarch had sent people to capture them and turn them into trees to decorate the Thousand Void Mountain.


    From then on, Wankong Mountain would disappear one step at a time from the land of the East Qin Kingdom.


    In the blink of an eye, several days had passed and the Guangxuan City had gradually returned to normal.


    The East Qin Kingdom Overlord had already appointed Fu Feng as the new City Lord, and not long later, his City Lord''s Mansion would be improved.


    In the afternoon, when the sun was high in the sky, Fu Feng sent someone to invite Li Xie to the Fu Mansion.


    Even though Fu Feng was already the city lord of Guangxuan City, he knew that if not for Li Xie''s support, he would not be able to stand firm in the Guangxuan City.


    A few days ago when he was crawling at the feet of Devil Monarch, he had made him suffer a lot.


    After Li Xie stepped into the Fu Mansion, he walked unhindered towards the Fu Mansion''s study. Fu Feng had already been waiting inside for a while.


    Following the sound of footsteps from afar, Fu Feng immediately turned to look at the entrance of the study room.


    City Lord Fu! Just as he finished speaking, Li Xie entered the Fu Mansion''s study room with large strides.


    Young Master Li! Fu Feng cupped his hands in salute towards Li Xie. It was the feeling of an old friend.


    Li Xie sized up Fu Feng''s study. Even though he had been to Fu Mansion several times, he had never taken a step into it.


    If Fu Feng had not sent someone to invite him, it would have been difficult for him to step into the Fu Mansion.


    Li Xie retracted his gaze, and landed on Fu Feng''s body.


    City Lord Fu, what did you invite me here for? Li Xie asked.


    Young Master Li, the lord of Zhong Yuan City, Han Jinshan, is currently preparing to hold his sixtieth birthday, so he specially sent me an invitation. Fu Feng slowly said.


    Un, you mean to say that you want me to go to Zhong Yuan City to celebrate my birthday? Li Xie said.


    Yes, I wonder if Young Master Li is willing to go to the Zhong Yuan City? Fu Feng asked in anticipation.


    Mn, City Lord Fu, I was just about to go to Zhong Yuan City to meet them. Li Xie said as the corner of his mouth rose.


    Fu Feng secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He could finally put down the big stone that was hanging in his heart.


    Although Zhong Yuan City were extremely flourishing, the fish and dragons were even more chaotic than Guangxuan City.


    Although Han Jinshan was the city lord of Zhong Yuan City, he was not the person with the most influence in Zhong Yuan City.


    Han Jinshan suddenly celebrated his sixtieth birthday, and has even issued an invitation. There must be some other deeper meaning behind it.


    This trip to the Zhong Yuan City was definitely filled with danger, but Li Xie did not halt in his tracks, which was beyond Fu Feng''s expectations.


    The Zhong Yuan City was located in the middle of the East Qin Kingdom, and could be said to be one of the richest places in the entire East Qin Kingdom.


    Su Family and Ye family, one of the nine great families of East Qin Kingdom, were situated in the Zhong Yuan City.


    The young master of Su Family, Su Cheng, was praised as the number one young master of the nine great families.


    Everyone within a hundred mile radius of Zhong Yuan City thought that Su Cheng would become the leader of the younger generation of Martial Cultivator, to the point that many wanted to build a relationship with him.


    Su Cheng''s character was praised by many, he was not brash, did not act arrogantly, did not act arrogantly, and did not look down on others.


    On this trip to the Zhong Yuan City, aside from wanting to see the elegance of the Zhong Yuan City, Li Xie''s main goal in doing so was to get to know Su Cheng.


    When Li Xie finally reached Zhong Yuan City, it was already the evening of the fifth day.


    Li Xie travelled through the bustling streets and alleys, and he was able to find anything, whether it was the East Qin Kingdom s east, south, west or north.


    In the East Qin Kingdom, Zhong Yuan City was a large city only second to the capital''s Lindu.


    Even on normal days, the inns in Zhong Yuan City City were often overcrowded.


    After Li Xie searched through several streets, he finally found an inn with empty rooms.


    The name of this inn was Xiang Zilai Inn, and the innkeeper was extremely enthusiastic.


    Xiang Zi Lai''s inn was not very big, but its interior layout was just right. Not a single corner was wasted, and every corner was fully utilized.


    After Li Xie paid, the innkeeper asked the waiter to clean up a good room for Li Xie.


    After rushing for an entire day, Li Xie was really hungry. He ordered a few good dishes and started to eat.


    However, Li Xie did not stay idle. He carefully listened to what the people around him were saying.


    For something as important as the sixtieth birthday of Zhong Yuan City City Master Han Jinshan, there would definitely be many people discussing it after lunch.


    This was his first time coming here, and Li Xie knew very little about Zhong Yuan City.


    Perhaps he could learn a lot of useful things from the voices of the people around him.


    Have you heard? This time, the City Lord''s sixtieth birthday had invited quite a few reputable people!


    What''s there to be surprised about, we are here on Zhong Yuan City!


    But this time, even the notorious villains from the unorthodox sects had come!


    Yo! It seems that Zhong Yuan City will be very lively these few days!


    Li Xie looked around, the identity of the people who spoke earlier were different, some were ordinary commoners, some were guards from famous families, and some were disciples from respectable sects.


    At this moment, an aggressive young man rushed into the inn.


    The aggressive young man stopped and glanced around before smiling in disdain.


    The innkeeper of Xiang Zi Lai''s inn immediately came over with a smiling face. He was just too familiar with this young man.


    The store manager ran over to the youth''s side and bowed in greeting, not daring to slack off in the slightest.


    The corners of the young man''s mouth slightly raised. He was quite satisfied with the shopkeeper''s attitude.


    Lord Ye, if you have any orders, please do not hesitate to tell them! The manager respectfully said.


    Are the inns full today? The young man glanced at the store manager and asked.


    Yes, not long ago, even the last guest room was already occupied. The shop owner replied.


    Very good, very good. The young man said.


    Lord Ye, long time no see. You are getting more and more handsome!


    That''s right! If I were a girl, I would marry you, Lord Ye!


    The young man turned his face to the side and saw several extremely flattering faces. He was already disgusted with them.


    As the young master of the Ye family, he had heard all sorts of flattery since he was young.


    Lord Ye...


    Stay away from me!


    The young man''s expression instantly darkened, like the sky in front of a torrential storm.


    Those people who wanted to curry favor with the young man earlier trembled with fear as they retreated, wishing that they could immediately find a hole to hide in.


    The shopkeeper that stood beside the young man had his head lowered, not daring to raise it.


    Just then, the young man looked around once again. Everyone avoided his gaze, except for Li Xie.


    The corners of the young man''s mouth lifted, as he quickly walked to Li Xie''s side.


    The young man placed both his hands on the table in front of Li Xie and stared at him.


    Unexpectedly, Li Xie shot a glance at the young man, but did not reveal any expression of fear.


    At this time, the young man straightened his back as he sized Li Xie up.


    Who are you? Where did it come from? The young man asked with interest.


    I am just a nobody, I came from the Guangxuan City! Li Xie said as he looked at the young man.


    Do you know who I am? Have you heard of the Ye Family of the Zhong Yuan City? The young man said.


    I don''t know who you are, it has nothing to do with me! Li Xie said.

 C46

    The young man was so angry that he laughed instead. He reached out his hand and patted Li Xie''s shoulder.


    He thought it would be boring, but he met an interesting person.


    I know you''re saying this to make me feel that you''re different from them. Congratulations, you''ve succeeded. The young man said.


    Sorry, I''ve been on the road all day and I want to rest. With that said, Li Xie got up and prepared to leave.


    Wait! the young man shouted.


    [What can I do for you, Lord Ye? Li Xie cupped his hands and asked.


    Did you come here specifically from the Guangxuan City to seek refuge? the young man asked sharply.


    I''m here to attend Mayor Han''s birthday feast. Li Xie said calmly.


    Humph! With just you, you aren''t even qualified to sweep the floor with City Lord''s Mansion! The corner of the young man''s mouth twitched as he said.


    "Lord Ye, are you trying to anger me on purpose?" Li Xie raised his eyebrows and said.


    Suddenly, the young man''s fist struck towards Li Xie''s chest, with unstoppable force.


    Not only did he want to enrage Li Xie, he also wanted to step on Li Xie!


    Li Xie stomped his feet, and his body as light as a swallow, instantly dodged the young man''s fist that was swung towards him.


    The corner of the young man''s mouth twitched. Li Xie''s skill was beyond his expectations, and the matter became more and more interesting.


    Brat, are you tired of living? He actually dared to fight against Lord Ye!


    Hurry up and kowtow and beg for forgiveness! Otherwise, there was no time for regret!


    The young man was extremely excited. He would not allow himself to fail in front of so many people.


    Li Xie shook his head helplessly. He had no intention to fight with Ye gongzi, so he turned around and headed to the second floor of the tavern.


    The young man''s eyes stared, and then he leaped up and landed in front of Li Xie.


    Since he had already made his move, he would not give up until he had determined who was stronger!


    Unless you admit defeat immediately, you can forget about leaving! The young man said aggressively.


    Fine, as you wish! With that said, Li Xie pulled out the Nine Souls Sword and held it tightly in his hand.


    The Nine Souls Sword emitted a cold light, immediately making the summer night feel a bit chilly.


    The young man smiled coldly. Today, he had finally met a pretty good opponent.


    Then, let''s start the battle. The blood in his body is already boiling!


    Hiss!


    The young man clenched his right hand into a fist, and a long spear appeared in his hand.


    Bang!


    The young man used his spear and pierced towards Li Xie''s vital parts, as fast as lightning!


    Li Xie leaped up, and instantly returned to the first floor of the Xiang Zi Lai Inn.


    The surrounding guests all retreated, but none of them were willing to leave Xiang Zi''s inn.


    Swoosh!


    The young man brandished his spear and came down from the sky, slashing towards Li Xie''s head.


    Spear flowers bloomed one after another, filling the first floor of the inn with light.


    Li Xie waved his Nine Souls Sword, causing the spear that was rushing towards him to return empty-handed.


    The young man frowned, he increased the speed of his spear as the Elemental Energy in his body continued to burn.


    Bang!


    The young man staggered back, the spear in his hand actually sent him flying.


    After stabilizing himself, the young man sucked in a breath, his right hand trembling as he gripped his spear.


    "Whiz!"


    A Sword Qi rushed towards the young man, causing the young man to hurriedly dodge to the side. The Sword Qi struck the table behind him, causing the table to split into two.


    The young man extended his right hand, and the spear returned to his hand.


    Ah!


    The young man roared, and once again waved his spear and rushed towards Li Xie.


    Bang!


    The young man was thrown out along with the spear in his hand.


    Just now, Li Xie''s speed of swinging the sword was just too fast, he did not have the time to see it clearly.


    The surrounding customers were all stunned. The young master of the Ye family was actually defeated by a nobody.


    Obviously, Li Xie had not used his full strength yet. If he used his full strength, the entire inn would probably be destroyed.


    The young man pushed himself off the ground with his left hand and instantly stood up. He frowned as he prepared to pounce towards Li Xie again, but the pain from his chest temporarily prevented him from driving the Elemental Energy.


    When the young man looked at Li Xie, Li Xie had already sheathed his sword.


    Who the hell are you? The young man asked with an indifferent expression.


    My name is Li Xie! Li Xie said calmly.


    The young man was immediately dumbstruck. The young Martial Cultivator that he had exchanged blows with earlier was actually Li Xie!


    A while ago, the news of the Devil Monarch leading the s to the southeastern part of the East Qin Kingdom had long ago spread into the Zhong Yuan City and everyone was aware of it.


    Compared to the nine great families, Li Xie was merely a young master of an ordinary family with hundreds of family names.


    Not many people knew that Li Xie had fought with the Devil Monarch and still survived, and the young man was one of them.


    At that time, no one could see the fight between Li Xie and Devil Monarch to the end.


    That was because the Sword Qi was like a black cloud that shrouded the skies above the Sangzhou City. No one could clearly see what was happening inside the black cloud.


    Many people even thought that the Devil Monarch''s power had been revealed by the Goddess of Wind.


    The young man suddenly realized that he had believed that the young Martial Cultivator was indeed Li Xie, because the young Martial Cultivator was holding a sword in his hand.


    Brother Li, my name is Ye Song, I was a bit rash just now, I hope you can forgive me! The young man flicked his right hand and the long spear disappeared without a trace.


    Li Xie raised his brows. Ye Song''s attitude had changed really quickly, catching him off guard.


    In the blink of an eye, the night passed and the second day arrived.


    Li Xie got off the bed, then quickly walked to the window and opened it.


    It was not sunny outside, but it was a cloudy day.


    Li Xie lowered his head and looked down. The front door of Xiang Zui''s Inn was already filled with people, they had all come to visit him due to admiration.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows. Last night, the young master of the Ye family, Ye Song, had lost to him, which had already given him a bit of fame in the Zhong Yuan City.


    Other than that, there must be someone else secretly adding fuel to the fire.


    Zhong Yuan City was a place filled with right and wrong, Li Xie had a deep experience now.


    Dong dong dong ¡­


    At this moment, Li Xie''s door was knocked, and the calm morning never returned.


    Li Xie turned and waved towards the door, causing it to open from the inside.


    Li Xie looked carefully, to see that there was a man dressed in armor standing outside the door.


    The armored man quickly walked in front of Li Xie and cupped his fists and saluted.


    Just by looking at the armor the man was wearing, Li Xie already knew his identity.


    Young Master Li, I am following the City Lord''s orders to invite you to the City Lord''s Mansion gathering! The armored man said.


    Un, I was just about to pay a visit to City Lord Han! Li Xie nodded and said.


    After a while, Li Xie was walking along the corridor that led from City Lord''s Mansion to the study.


    There were often patrolling soldiers coming and going, and they were all quietly sizing up Li Xie.


    Li Xie had fought with the young master of the Ye family, Ye Song, for the first time in his life, and he did not give the Ye family any face.


    With the Ye Family''s Patriarch Ye Xuankai''s personality, he would definitely cause trouble for Li Xie.


    Although Li Xie had an illustrious reputation in Guangxuan City, this place was still a Zhong Yuan City after all.


    In Ye Xuankai''s eyes, perhaps his Guangxuan City was no different from an ordinary town.


    Li Xie looked around. Compared to Guangxuan City, Zhong Yuan City was much more majestic.


    Between the white walls and the black tiles, the scenery and nature could be seen everywhere.


    It could be seen that not only did Han Jinshan care about appearances, he also liked to get close to things that didn''t seem very important, but could at the same time make people happy.

 C47

    Li Xie looked around, he could not see the end of the enormous City Lord''s Mansion.


    Li Xie unconsciously sped up his footsteps as he wanted to see Han Jinshan as soon as possible.


    Compared to the Su Family Gongzi Su Cheng, Han Jinshan was the only person in the entire Zhong Yuan City that had caught his attention.


    After passing through the front courtyard of City Lord''s Mansion, Li Xie arrived at the rear courtyard of City Lord''s Mansion.


    Han Jinshan''s office was located in the rear courtyard of City Lord''s Mansion, it was evidently much quieter here than the front courtyard, and no one would disturb Han Jinshan here.


    When Li Xie stood in front of the door to the study room, the door naturally opened.


    Li Xie peeked inside, and immediately, he got up and walked out.


    When Han Jinshan reached the entrance of the study, he stopped in his tracks. Using his eyes, he signalled to Li Xie that he did not need to be restrained, and walked into the study to talk.


    Li Xie quickly walked past Han Jinshan and stepped into the study.


    Li Xie turned and cupped his fists towards Han Jinshan in greeting. The current Han Jinshan, sixty years old, still looked to be in high spirits like a young man.


    It was no wonder that compared to the increasingly decaying Guangxuan City, Zhong Yuan City had been filled with vitality for so many years.


    Han Jinshan stroked his long beard as he expressed his goodwill to Li Xie.


    Li Xie''s appearance was within his expectations, after all, even Devil Monarch would dare to fight him.


    Mayor Han, is your birthday banquet going to be held tonight? Li Xie said.


    Yes, the mansion had already prepared everything. Tonight, it would be very lively! Han Jinshan said with a smile.


    Mayor Han, it''s said that you''ve also invited a lot of notorious figures from unorthodox sects. Li Xie said.


    That''s right, I have been the mayor of Zhong Yuan City for a long time, so no matter if it''s from a famous or a notorious sect, they all have connections. Han Jinshan said calmly.


    Li Xie secretly thought that compared to Zhang Jingzhi, it seemed like Han Jingshan was more real.


    In this world, there weren''t many people who were willing to be so realistic. Everyone liked to wear masks to speak.


    City Master Han, what did you invite me here at the City Lord''s Mansion for? Li Xie asked.


    Young Master Li, I have two main reasons for inviting you to the City Lord''s Mansion, the first is that I do not want the Ye Family''s people to disturb you. Han Jingshan said.


    Mayor Han, I have never interacted with you before, why would you want to help me? Li Xie asked with interest.


    It''s because there''s something I want to ask you, and I''ll tell you when the time comes. Han Jingshan thoughtfully said.


    Since Han Jinshan had said it like that, it was not good for Li Xie to continue pursuing the matter.


    Following that, Han Jinshan accompanied Li Xie as they strolled around the great City Lord''s Mansion and recounted a bit of the history of the City Lord''s Mansion.


    The Zhong Yuan City''s scenery was very beautiful, but Li Xie kept feeling that there was something lacking.


    Actually, Li Xie knew what he was missing. He had already been back at Cang An Mountain for a few days.


    Li Xie secretly sighed, other than his family, the person he was most worried about was Sun Pei.


    If Sun Pei was by his side right now, the scene with City Lord''s Mansion would definitely be even more beautiful!


    Li Xie didn''t know when he would return, but if he didn''t return in a few days, Li Xie decided to make a trip to Cang An Mountain.


    No matter how far away Cang An Mountain was, Li Xie would always be able to find it.


    Several hours later, the night of Zhong Yuan City arrived as scheduled.


    The Zhong Yuan City was a bustling and extraordinary scene. Dozens of tables had already been set up in the courtyard and living room in front of the City Lord''s Mansion.


    The famous and powerful families sat together, the upright Martial Cultivator and the honorable ones sat together, and the unorthodox and evil ones sat in the most remote corner.


    If not for Han Jinshan''s kind invitation, they might not have appeared here.


    The City Lord''s Mansion s were brightly lit, the maids and soldiers were busy, but no one would feel tired.


    At that moment, the person who was in the best mood was of course the birthday banquet''s owner, Han Jinshan.


    When Han Jinshan appeared in their line of sight, everyone stood up.


    Although Han Jinshan was not the person with the strongest Zhong Yuan City, the fact that his Zhong Yuan City was able to maintain a relatively stable state meant that Han Jinshan had contributed greatly.


    Han Jinshan drank all the wine in his cup and his face flushed red.


    Tonight''s moonlight was very gentle, sprinkling down bit by bit onto the bodies of everyone present.


    A light breeze was blowing, making the night seem like late spring.


    Just then, Han Jinshan looked around and found Li Xie. He quickly walked towards him.


    Everyone''s gazes moved along with Han Jinshan''s footsteps, and landed on his body in the end.


    Everyone was guessing at Li Xie''s identity, why did he purposely walk over to''s side.


    Li Xie stood up and cupped his hands in a salute towards Han Jinshan, and then toasted.


    Han Jinshan laughed happily as he drank all the wine in his cup once again, and then patted Li Xie''s shoulder.


    Mayor Han, who is this young master?


    We all want to know each other!


    That''s right! That''s right!


    Han Jinshan looked at the crowd. It was time to let everyone know Li Xie''s identity.


    Then, Han Jinshan looked at Li Xie. From Li Xie''s eyes, he knew that Li Xie had already prepared to let everyone know his identity.


    He is Guangxuan City Li Xie! Han Jinshan said in high spirits.


    What? He is Li Xie?


    Impossible, he looked so ordinary!


    Mayor Han, are you drunk and joking with us?


    Of course he wasn''t joking, he really was Li Xie! Han Jinshan said.


    Just then, a sturdy man quickly walked to Li Xie''s side.


    Li Xie looked at the burly man and felt that he looked somewhat similar to Ye Song.


    The sturdy man cupped his fists and saluted Han Jinshan, then glared at him and glared.


    May I know who you are, Senior? Li Xie asked politely.


    I am Ye Xuankai! You must have heard my name! The burly man said with a smile.


    Oh, so it''s the famous Ye Family''s Patriarch! Li Xie said indifferently.


    From Li Xie''s tone of voice, he could tell that Li Xie did not spare a glance for his identity.


    If Han Jinshan was not present, Ye Xuankai would have immediately skinned Li Xie''s skin and tendons.


    Young Master Li, we heard that you have a small reputation in the Guangxuan City, why not broaden our horizons! Ye Xuankai said as his brows twitched.


    Open your eyes? Li Xie said, thinking, was such a good night going to be ruined?


    Ye Xuankai turned around to take a look, and at that moment, a Martial Cultivator walked to his side.


    Martial Cultivator cupped his fists and bowed to Li Xie, a provocative look in his eyes.


    Ye Xuankai laughed coldly, he felt that drinking wine in such a good night was too boring.


    Han Jinshan stared at Ye Xuankai, scolding him in his heart, "Ye Xuankai''s temper is getting worse."


    Young Master Li, he is called Hu Sisi, he is in charge of door keeping and floor sweeping in the Ye residence, let him fight with you and let us open our eyes, what do you say? Ye Xuankai said with a fake smile.


    Tonight is Mayor Han''s birthday banquet, I don''t want to make a move. Li Xie said.


    Humph! I think you''re afraid? This was not Guangxuan City! Ye Xuankai shouted.


    Brother Ye, are you drunk? Han Jinshan looked straight at Ye Xuankai.


    Brother Han, I truly want to broaden my horizons, it is not that I want to disturb your birthday banquet! Ye Xuankai faced the crowd and continued: All of you want to broaden your horizons, to experience the capabilities of Young Master Li!


    That''s right!


    Young Master Li, don''t let us down!

 C48

    Ye Xuankai smiled with satisfaction. If Li Xie was determined to not make a move, it would be perfect for him.


    If Li Xie was willing to make a move, it would also be perfect for him.


    No matter what, Ye Xuankai did not want Li Xie to have a good night, so he wanted him to be a fool.


    Han Jinshan turned his face to look at Li Xie, he never thought that the situation would develop to this extent.


    Now that everyone was so passionate, he couldn''t let everyone down.


    Ye Xuankai raised his eyebrows. Even at this time, he still saw a trace of a smile on Li Xie''s face.


    This was simply too laughable, Ye Xuankai suspected that there was a mental problem with Li Xie.


    Brother Hu, please show mercy! Li Xie cupped his hands and said to Hu Qian.


    Sure, sure! Hu Diao happily replied.


    Ye Xuankai and Han Jinshan stepped aside, leaving enough space for Li Xie and Hu Diao.


    At the same time, both of Hu Qian''s arms pushed forward, and his shirt instantly fell apart, revealing a sturdy body.


    He was filled with fighting spirit. If he could defeat Li Xie in front of everyone, he would definitely make Li Xie famous again.


    Although Li Xie was just a small shrimp, he did not mind how small Li Xie''s meat was!


    At the same time, Ye Xuankai was full of confidence in Hu Diao. Although Hu Diao did not have a high position in the Ye Residence, his Martial Cultivator realm was not low.


    Even the master that Ye Xuankai had specially invited for Ye Song was not a match for Hu Dian.


    Boom!


    As Hu Su rushed to Li Xie''s front, he took out a blade and held it tightly in his hands, and took the opportunity to stab Li Xie in the chest.


    Li Xie turned his body slightly, and the blade in Hu Dian''s hand just happened to pass by his shoulder.


    Just as they had fought, he already knew that Li Xie was not some unknown person.


    Hu Sisi''s hand trembled, the blade edge whizzed out, instantly forcing Li Xie to retreat a few steps.


    He jumped up, and just like a fierce tiger leaving the mountain, he slashed towards Li Xie''s head.


    The blade tore through the air, emitting sparks one after another.


    Hu Diao''s eyes had already narrowed into a line, but it was still unable to stop the killing intent leaking out.


    No matter what, even if he had to pay an extremely painful price, Hu Su wanted to ruthlessly trample Li Xie beneath his feet.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    The blade in Hu Dian''s hand brushed past Li Xie''s shoulder once again, instantly making Hu Dian angry.


    Hu Dian clenched his teeth, waved the blade in his hand, and swung it towards Li Xie''s vitals.


    The Elemental Energy in Hu Dian''s body was burning as it continuously surged into his entire body.


    Bang!


    The blade descended, and the ground in front of Li Xie was covered with blade scars.


    Hu Dian once again rushed to the front of Li Xie, under the control of the blade, Li Xie''s footsteps became a little messy.


    All of these were seen by Hu Dian, he seemed to have seen Li Xie''s appearance as he fell down and couldn''t get up.


    Hu Dian''s eyes were red as he slashed at Li Xie''s vitals again and again. Li Xie wanted to pull his sword out, but he did not have the chance.


    Aiya! They were truly better off meeting each other than being famous!


    Even someone with the skill of the Young Master Li was able to gain some fame in the Guangxuan City. It seemed that the Guangxuan City was really a small place!


    Humph! I had expected such an outcome!


    Stop wasting time, quickly get him to kowtow and beg for mercy! Ye Xuankai shouted to Hu Diao.


    The corner of Hu Diao''s mouth twitched, and he immediately channeled all the Elemental Energy into the blade in his hand.


    With a tap of his feet, Li Xie instantly went over the Hu Dian''s head and arrived behind him.


    Hu Su suddenly turned and glared at Li Xie, the corners of his mouth raised a trace of killing intent.


    Go to hell!


    Following a loud shout from Hu Sai, the City Lord''s Mansion ground trembled a few times.


    Like a fierce tiger coming out from its lair, Hu Su used his full strength to stab at Li Xie''s chest. The force behind the attack was enough to split the mountain and shatter the rocks.


    As long as Li Xie did not dodge in time, he would be cut into two in an instant!


    Ye Xuankai, who was standing not too far away, laughed complacently. He would soon be able to take back the face that his family''s Ye Song had lost on Li Xie.


    After Li Xie dies, Ye Xuankai will swagger his corpse over to the market and send it back to Guangxuan City.


    Stop! Han Jinshan took a step forward and shouted loudly.


    Brother Han, it''s too late! Ye Xuankai said to Han Jinshan.


    When...


    Ye Xuankai looked towards the source of the sound, and the sinister smile on his face immediately stopped.


    Hu Sisi powerlessly laid on the ground. The blade in his hand was broken, and his killing intent was completely gone.


    Ye Xuankai gasped. Just now, Hu Diao clearly already held the upper hand, why did he lose so quickly?


    Furthermore, in the surroundings of the city hall, traces of Sword Qi could be seen clearly.


    Ye Xuankai glanced at Li Xie, who had already sheathed his sword.


    Ye Xuankai clenched his fists, he could not wait to do it himself.


    But now was not the time, he already felt that Li Xie was not as easy to bully as he looked on the surface.


    All the onlookers stood up and weakly sat on the chairs.


    Swoosh!


    Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and saw a shooting star emitting red light cutting through the night sky!


    What could that be!


    Even the experienced and knowledgeable Ye Xuankai and Han Jinshan didn''t know what that shooting star that was emitting red light meant.


    As the shooting star fell from the sky, the night sky gradually regained its tranquility.


    Cough cough!


    Just at this moment, an old man descended from the sky, and landed on top of a roof within the City Lord''s Mansion.


    The old man held a wine gourd in his hand and wore coarse clothes. His shoes were a bit tattered, but his eyes seemed to contain a myriad of worlds.


    Everyone raised their heads to look at the old man as they tried to guess his identity.


    The old man leisurely opened the wine gourd and then took a large gulp. He was very carefree.


    He had long anticipated that tonight would be a different night, the contest between Li Xie and Hu Diao was just an appetizer.


    Han Jinshan cupped his hands and bowed towards the old man. The old man had the demeanor of a saint, he felt that the old man must be a master that had transcended the mortal world.


    The old man replied while saluting Han Jinshan. He naturally knew of Han Jinshan''s identity.


    Looking at the entire Zhong Yuan City, only Han Jinshan and Su Cheng could arouse the old man''s slightest bit of interest. He didn''t even care about people like Ye Xuankai.


    But now, he was interested in one more person, and that was Li Xie.


    Senior, I wonder what you think of the shooting star that broke through the night sky and emitted a red light? Han Jinshan asked respectfully.


    As the old man stroked his beard, he once again raised his head to look at the vast night sky.


    Mayor Han, you asked the right person! The old man turned his gaze to Han Jinshan and said.


    Senior, please speak clearly! Han Jinshan asked, beaming with joy.


    Mm, just now that red shooting star that pierced the night sky was actually a divine weapon, and it was extremely powerful! The old man slowly said.


    What! Divine weapons!


    This weapon must belong to me!


    Get lost! How can someone like you be worthy of a masterwork weapon!


    Han Jinshan looked at everyone, all of their eyes were filled with excitement, but he could not help but frown.


    It was not necessarily a good thing for Divine Weapons to descend into the world. Just how many people would want to fight over these Divine Weapons to become a river of blood?


    Han Jinshan secretly sighed, this should be heaven''s will! Heaven''s will would never let the world be at peace!


    Senior, may I know your name? Han Jinshan asked after regaining his senses and looked at the old man once again.


    I am just a nobody, everyone likes to call me Old Daoist Suifeng! The old man said with a smile.

 C49

    The old man''s voice was both ancient and powerful, like an old wine that had been stored away for a long time.


    So it is Senior Suifeng, it is my pleasure to meet you! Han Jinshan said.


    Don''t be so polite with me, we might not meet again! The old man stroked his beard as he spoke.


    Han Jinshan secretly sighed, since the old man had said so, he naturally had his own reasons.


    "Whiz!"


    Li Xie rose into the air, and instantly stood by Old Daoist Feng''s side.


    Old Daoist Suifeng sized Li Xie up, he knew what Li Xie wanted to know.


    Old Daoist Suifeng crooked his finger at Li Xie, causing Li Xie to suddenly understand something, and then he cupped his ears and listened carefully.


    That Divine Weapon is just enough to restrain the Nine Souls Sword in your hands!


    Old Daoist Suifeng spoke very softly, only Li Xie could hear him.


    After hearing Old Daoist Feng''s words, Li Xie became extremely interested in that divine weapon.


    Old Daoist Suifeng patted Li Xie''s shoulder with his left hand. He had heard quite a lot about Li Xie.


    In the following days, Li Xie would encounter more and more troubles.


    Being able to see it within the Zhong Yuan City today, Li Xie did not disappoint him.


    Young man, I hope we can meet again due to fate! Just as he finished speaking, Old Daoist Feng turned around and disappeared without a trace.


    Several hours later, the darkness of the night dissipated and day arrived once more.


    The early morning Zhong Yuan City was already filled with traffic, and on the way, all sorts of people were discussing what happened last night at Han Jinshan''s birthday banquet.


    How did Li Xie offend Ye Xuankai this time? It was equivalent to offending half of his Zhong Yuan City.


    But it seemed that Han Jinshan wanted to protect Li Xie. Maybe Ye Xuankai would restrain himself a little.


    Those who liked to watch the show were already prepared, and were just waiting to see how the situation would develop.


    Other than Li Xie''s incident, the shooting stars that were emitting red light pierced the night sky, it was even more eye-catching.


    As for what Old Daoist Suifeng said last night, it had long since spread throughout the streets and alleys of the Zhong Yuan City, and no one didn''t know about it.


    Many forces had already sent people to look for the location of the Divine Weapons, and even Han Jinshan had sent people out.


    As for what this divine weapon was, no one knew.


    At the end of Northern Phoenix Street in Zhong Yuan City City, there was a magnificent manor where all sorts of people would visit everyday.


    This magnificent manor was called Su Mansion, and it was even more majestic than City Lord''s Mansion.


    Compared to Han Jinshan and the Ye Family, their Su Family had been in operation for hundreds of years already, flourishing and flourishing.


    Whenever people brought up Zhong Yuan City, the first thing they would think of was Su Family. Su Family sometimes represented Zhong Yuan City.


    Martial Cultivator who were born with average Zhong Yuan City wanted to enter the Su Family, and even if they were guards, they would use this opportunity to change their fates.


    Inside the study in the Su Mansion, Su Cheng was currently discussing some matters with his father.


    Su Cheng''s father was called Su Ding and among the Patriarch s of the nine great families, Su Ding''s name was one of the best.


    If not for Su Ding, he would not have had the glory of his Su Family today, although Su Cheng''s current reputation was even more resplendent.


    Su Cheng did not personally attend the birthday banquet for Han Jinshan last night. Regarding the various aspects of the birthday banquet, Su Ding had already explained them to Su Cheng.


    What interested Su Cheng the most was naturally Li Xie. Although his Guangxuan City was a little far from the Zhong Yuan City, his Su Family eyes and ears had always been paying attention to every single movement within the Guangxuan City.


    Furthermore, Li Xie had fought with the Devil Monarch before, and even survived.


    Su Ding looked at Su Cheng, who was deep in thought.


    Cough cough!


    Su Ding deliberately coughed a few times, pulling Su Cheng back from his thoughts.


    As Su Cheng grew older, Su Ding realized that he did not understand Su Cheng anymore.


    Su Cheng saw a sea in front of him, and in his heart, there was a castle.


    Father! Su Cheng shouted.


    Cheng''er, were you thinking about the divine weapon just now? Su Ding asked.


    No, I''m thinking about Li Xie. Su Cheng said as he raised the corner of his mouth.


    Li Xie? What was there to think about? He did not have three heads and six arms! Su Ding said.


    Father, Li Xie is a Martial Cultivator that had fought against Devil Monarch before, yet he is still alive. Su Cheng said.


    Oh, listening to you, that brat Li Xie is indeed worth paying attention to! Su Ding raised his eyebrows and said.


    Dong dong dong ¡­


    A burst of footsteps came from afar, Su Cheng looked over, and sure enough, Ah Fu had returned.


    The moment Li Xie stepped foot into the Zhong Yuan City, Su Cheng had already sent Ah Fu out to inquire about more news.


    Ah Fu was standing in the doorway of the study, gasping for breath. He lifted his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead.


    Su Cheng looked at Ah Fu, Ah Fu tacitly walked to Su Cheng''s side, and bowed to both Su Ding and Su Cheng.


    Su Ding glanced at Su Cheng. He had already understood what was going on.


    Ah Fu, do you have anything to say? Su Cheng could not wait and asked.


    Young master, after I used up all my manpower and resources to look, there is indeed an outline. The sword in Li Xie''s hand is called Nine Souls Sword, it is extremely likely to be a Heaven Ranked Spirit Weapon! Ah Fu said.


    Su Cheng nodded, what Ah Fu said did not differ much from his guess.


    Li Xie was actually able to wield a Heaven Ranked Spirit Weapon, in Su Cheng''s opinion, his luck was not bad.


    Cheng''er, we should focus on dealing with the Ye Family. Su Ding said as he looked at Su Cheng.


    Father, it is enough for you to deal with the Ye family. Su Cheng bowed and said to Su Ding.


    Su Ding shook his head helplessly. Su Cheng had already grown up, it was impossible for her to listen to everything he said.


    After all, there would be a day when he would place all of the heavy burden of Su Family on Su Cheng''s shoulders. Su Cheng needed to have his own judgement and solution to the problem.


    Ah Fu, quickly go and invite Li Xie to gather at Su Mansion! Su Cheng turned his gaze to Ah Fu and ordered.


    Yes! As soon as he finished, Ah Fu bowed and left the study.


    Before long, Li Xie had followed along with Ah Fu and stepped into the famed Su Mansion.


    Even if you added all the courtyards of the famous families and families of the Guangxuan City together, they still wouldn''t be able to defeat the majesty of the Su Family.


    Su Family had a deep foundation, and people of Zhong Yuan City trusted them the most.


    The patrolling guards in the Su Mansion s all had their heads held high. Although they were young, they were all Martial Cultivator s who were one in a hundred.


    Ah Fu looked at Li Xie from the corner of his eyes. He could not help but compare Li Xie with their Young Master Su Cheng and felt that Li Xie could not even compare to him.


    Other than the Nine Souls Sword on Li Xie''s back, Ah Fu felt that Li Xie was extremely ordinary.


    Ah Fu could not understand why his master valued Li Xie so much.


    There was a good distance between the front yard and the study in the backyard.


    Ah Fu thought that Li Xie would be impatient, but unexpectedly Li Xie was still full of energy.


    Li Xie kept looking around, as if he was enjoying the scenery along the way.


    Very soon, he would be meeting Su Cheng, who was acclaimed as the number one son of one of the East Qin Kingdom''s nine great families. The Nine Souls Sword on Li Xie''s back was as excited as he was.


    Stop!


    In an instant, Li Xie stopped and turned around to take a look.


    Standing behind him was a middle-aged Martial Cultivator. Both of his arms were thicker than his thighs, and he looked extremely powerful.


    The middle aged Martial Cultivator sized Li Xie up from head to toe, and then revealed a look of disdain.


    There were a lot of people that came to visit Su Mansion everyday, he had never seen a young man like Li Xie who came empty-handed.


    Li Xie retracted his gaze and walked towards the study room with big strides.


    The middle-aged Martial Cultivator was infuriated. He decided to give this young man a painful lesson, letting him know how to bend his waist.

 C50

    The middle aged Martial Cultivator stepped forward, and as though he was riding on a cloud, he instantly blocked in front of Li Xie.


    Like a giant boulder, the body of the middle-aged Martial Cultivator was extremely sturdy.


    Li Xie frowned, then looked at Ah Fu who was standing beside him.


    Commander Guan, he is the Young Master...


    Stop talking, hurry up and leave my sight! The middle-aged Martial Cultivator glared at Ah Fu and said.


    Ah Fu wanted to say something but hesitated. The middle-aged Martial Cultivator''s fist was very hard, he could not afford to offend him.


    Ah Fu turned and looked at Li Xie, shook his head, and then helplessly walked away.


    The middle aged Martial Cultivator''s mouth twitched, and continued to stare at Li Xie arrogantly.


    Just now, he knew what Ah Fu wanted to say, but he wouldn''t let him say it out loud.


    Ah Fu was also very tactful, this showed that he also wished for the middle aged Martial Cultivator to teach Li Xie a lesson.


    Since that was the case, the middle-aged Martial Cultivator knew what he should do.


    Brat, I am the commander of the Su Mansion, Guan Ang. Why aren''t you bowing to me? The middle-aged Martial Cultivator said aggressively.


    "Ugh ¡­" So you''re actually the commander of the Su Mansion, but what does that have to do with me? Why should I bow to you? Li Xie replied calmly.


    Humph! Since you''re so itchy at such a young age, it looks like I have to make a move! Guan Ang''s mouth twitched as he spoke.


    I am a guest invited by your young master, is that how you entertain your guest? Li Xie asked calmly.


    Are you a guest invited by our young master? How could I not know that you don''t need to put gold on your face! Guan Ang sneered.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows, this commander of Su Mansion was truly wild.


    From the looks of it, he was certain that this round would end, and there was no room for negotiation.


    Please step aside! Li Xie said as he tried hard to control his emotions.


    No! Guan Ang squinted his eyes and looked at Li Xie, and shook his shoulders.


    You are merely the commander of Su Mansion, how dare you be so fierce! Li Xie shouted in anger.


    Guan Ang smirked, and then he extended his hand to push Li Xie''s shoulder.


    This was a test of Li Xie''s Martial Cultivator''s realm. After knowing Li Xie''s Martial Cultivator''s realm, the cold smile on Guan Ang''s face became even more dazzling.


    In his eyes, Li Xie was still only a lower level origin realm Martial Cultivator, so she didn''t even have the qualifications to help him carry his shoes.


    Guan Ang once again reached out and grabbed Li Xie''s shoulder, preparing to cripple Li Xie''s arm.


    Guan Ang glared, and a wave of Elemental Energy surged into his right arm, taking the opportunity to press down.


    What was going on?


    Under Guan Ang''s pressure, Li Xie actually did not move an inch.


    Guan Ang was instantly enraged, and wished that he could break Li Xie into two halves.


    Suddenly, Guan Ang''s hands grabbed Li Xie''s arm and flung him out.


    Li Xie flew out then landed steadily on the ground.


    Guan Ang''s eyes widened, he suddenly jumped up and instantly pounced in front of Li Xie, like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.


    Guan Ang swung his fists like a torrential storm towards Li Xie''s chest. At that moment, Guan Ang had already decided to give it his all.


    Li Xie dodged, but each time, Guan Ang''s fist missed.


    Guan Ang was burning with anger. His right hand clenched into a fist as a blade appeared in his hand.


    At this moment, Guan Ang was extremely angry and excited, the Elemental Energy was burning non-stop in his body.


    Swoosh!


    A cold blade light flashed, Guan Ang took the chance to swing the blade in his hand straight towards Li Xie''s chest.


    Li Xie stomped his feet on the ground, and his body was as light as a swallow as he leapt onto the rooftop behind him.


    More and more people began to gather around to watch the show, and Guan Ang began to grow more and more impatient.


    In front of so many servants and guards, Guan Ang only wanted to send Li Xie to the west as soon as possible!


    Stop running! Die!


    Guan Ang roared, and then leaped up and rushed to Li Xie''s front.


    Clang! The blade howled fiercely. Guan Ang''s face had already turned as black as charcoal.


    The cold light shone everywhere, and Guan Ang''s eyes were filled with a murderous look.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    The blade edge that Li Xie dodged landed on the roof, causing the roof to be riddled with holes.


    Guan Ang bared his teeth as he smiled coldly at Li Xie. At this moment, he was like a Strange Beast who loved to kill.


    Guan Ang activated all of the Elemental Energy in his body and infused them into the blade he held in his hand, causing the howling of the blades to become even more frenzied.


    Even if both of them were to suffer, Guan Ang would not hesitate to do so.


    Bang!


    An extremely strong blade tip pounced towards Li Xie, who took off his Nine Souls Sword and brandished it towards the blade edge, releasing the Sword Qi.


    Rumble ¡­


    As if mountains were collapsing and the earth cracking, the blade edge was completely destroyed by the Sword Qi.


    Guan Ang turned pale in shock. There were not many Elemental Energy left in his body, but Li Xie still looked as if he had mastered something.


    Guan Ang''s hand that was gripping the handle of his saber was trembling. He was trying his best to control it.


    Li Xie naturally sheathed his sword, he had no interest in continuing to fight with Guan Ang.


    Guan Ang rolled his eyes, he raised his blade and pounced towards Li Xie, fast as lightning.


    With so many pairs of eyes looking at him, he believed himself to be the commander of the Su Mansion and that it didn''t matter if he lost face, he couldn''t be burdened with Su Mansion.


    Clang!


    The Nine Souls Sword in Guan Ang''s scabbard trembled slightly, and the Sword Qi whizzed out, shattering the blade in Guan Ang''s hand in the blink of an eye.


    Guan Ang retreated quickly. At this moment, he was sweating profusely.


    Li Xie walked closer to Guan Ang, his gaze becoming increasingly cold.


    Young Master Li, our young master has been waiting for you in the study room for a long time! Ah Fu hastily ran over and shouted.


    Li Xie laughed lightly, this Ah Fu really appeared at the right time, being so slow that his head almost fell to the ground.


    Like a gust of wind, Li Xie brushed past Guan Ang''s shoulder, and no longer paid any attention to him.


    When Li Xie''s footsteps disappeared in the distance, Guan Ang could finally heave a sigh of relief.


    After a while, Li Xie stepped into Su Mansion''s study room. At that moment, there was only a dignified looking young man in the study room.


    Li Xie cupped his fists and bowed to the dignified young man. Presumably, he was Su Family''s young master, Su Cheng.


    Last night at the City Lord''s Mansion''s birthday banquet, Li Xie had specially searched through the place, but he could not find Su Cheng''s figure.


    Su Cheng replied with a bow, he was already aware of the matter that had just occurred.


    Guan Ao was defeated by Li Xie''s hands, but it was not a surprise to him, on the contrary, he needed Guan Ang to test Li Xie''s strength.


    Su Cheng sized Li Xie up. Li Xie''s age should be around the same as him.


    The thing that left the most impression on Su Cheng was that Li Xie''s eyes were firm and not ostentatious.


    Su Cheng felt that Li Xie did not come all the way here just to attend Han Jinshan''s birthday, he must have other motives.


    The corner of Su Cheng''s mouth raised slightly, as if he was looking at a friend whom he had just reunited with after a long time.


    Young Master Li, we finally meet! Su Cheng said with interest.


    Young Master Su, the guards and commanders of your Su Mansion really know how to treat guests! Li Xie sighed.


    I''m sorry, Young Master Li, I will definitely make Commander Guan change his mind! Su Cheng said apologetically.


    Li Xie raised his brows, his current attitude was still alright.


    Compared to the Ye Family''s Young Master Ye Song, Su Cheng was like a dragon or phoenix among men, one in a thousand.


    No wonder Ye Song hated Su Family so much. As long as Su Cheng was around, he, Ye Song, would never be able to make a comeback. He would only be endlessly compared to Su Cheng, and wouldn''t be able to compare to him in the end.


    Young Noble Su, let''s get straight to the point. Why did you invite me here at Su Mansion? Li Xie said.


    Young Master Li, I want to join hands with you to find that Divine Weapon that descended into the mortal world, what do you think? Su Cheng asked.

 C51

    Li Xie thought to himself. Su Cheng''s tone was very sincere, not like she was joking with him.


    However, with Su Cheng''s capabilities and influence, why would she want to join hands with him? At the moment, Li Xie still could not figure it out.


    If we join hands and find that masterwork weapon, then who will be its owner? Li Xie asked.


    Su Cheng frowned his eyebrows as he fell into deep thought. He had indeed never thought about this problem.


    When Su Cheng came back to his senses, he had already thought of an idea.


    Young Master Li, since it is a divine weapon, then it will naturally have its own intelligence, let it make its own choice! Su Cheng said with a smile.


    "Ugh ¡­" This was a good idea! Li Xie nodded and said.


    Then it''s settled. We''ll set off tomorrow! Su Cheng said.


    Suddenly, Li Xie understood why Su Cheng wanted to work with him to search for sharp weapons. It was because Su Cheng had investigated him thoroughly.


    After a while, Li Xie had already left his Su Mansion and was walking toward the direction of the City Lord''s Mansion at the east of the city.


    Along the way, Li Xie''s footsteps were light, he also needed to get a better understanding of Su Cheng.


    Unknowingly, Li Xie stepped into the streets with the busiest Zhong Yuan City.


    There was an endless stream of citizens and merchants coming and going from this place, and there were even some that came from the north, south, and rivers of the East Qin Kingdom.


    Li Xie looked around, and all of them were unfamiliar faces.


    Just then, Li Xie heard the familiar footsteps approaching him, and he couldn''t help but smile as he looked over.


    However, he was disappointed, and the smile on his face instantly disappeared.


    There were no familiar footsteps. It was just an illusion. There were still many unfamiliar faces around him.


    Li Xie let out a long sigh as he unconsciously thought about Sun Pei.


    Someone! Catch the thief!


    Li Xie came back to reality and looked towards the direction where the voice came from. He saw an old lady lying on the ground, her bag of broken silver had been stolen.


    The thief who had stolen the old woman''s bag of crushed silver ran quickly and ran into the alley like a wisp of smoke.


    The people standing next to the old woman looked at each other. No one wanted to pursue the thief.


    Since Li Xie had actually encountered such a matter, he naturally would not choose to stand idly by the side and watch.


    Li Xie rushed into the alley, but the figure of the thief from before was no longer there. The alley was completely silent.


    Suddenly, Li Xie''s brows twitched, because he smelled a burst of killing intent heading towards him.


    Bang! Bang!


    In the blink of an eye, numerous Martial Cultivator descended from the sky.


    Several Martial Cultivator stared at Li Xie coldly, as if they were a pack of wolves staring at their prey, and were ready to open their mouths at any time.


    Li Xie laughed coldly, he had fallen into a trap.


    A few Martial Cultivator s looked at each other, then revealed the shining blades in their hands, which released a cold light.


    They were already familiar with this kind of thing and had tried it many times.


    The leading Martial Cultivator stepped forward and glared at Li Xie. He couldn''t understand why the Ye Family''s Patriarch would offer such a high price for Li Xie''s head.


    In his eyes, Li Xie was just a wet behind the ears brat, his thighs were not even as thick as his arms.


    Kid, if you know what''s good for you, then hurry up and cry out ''Grandpa, spare your life'' to listen. Maybe we''ll let you die a little faster!


    Yeah, hurry up and shout!


    Hahaha!


    Several Martial Cultivator s looked at Li Xie arrogantly and surrounded him step by step, looking extremely aggressive.


    Are you trying to bully us with numbers? Li Xie shouted coldly.


    So what if I am, so what if I am? What can you do to us! The leading Martial Cultivator roared.


    Was it Ye Xuankai who sent you to deal with me? Li Xie asked.


    Kid, you don''t need to be so anxious right now. When you meet with Yama, he will naturally tell you. The leading Martial Cultivator said.


    Brother, let''s hurry up and make our move!


    That''s right, after killing him, he had to quickly collect the other half of the bounty!


    The leading Martial Cultivator held his cheeks with his hand, his face flushed red, as though he had drank too much.


    When the leading Martial Cultivator looked at Li Xie again, his face instantly turned incomparably cold.


    Kill!


    Following the order from the lead Martial Cultivator, the rest of the Martial Cultivator attacked like a pack of wolves, the entire alley was filled with killing intent.


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth raised. Facing this group of Martial Cultivator, he only wanted to end the battle quickly.


    Hiss!


    Li Xie unsheathed his sword, the Sword Qi whizzed out and rushed towards the surrounding Martial Cultivator.


    Clang! Clang!


    The sound of the Sword Qi and the blade clashing rose and fell, one higher than the other.


    Li Xie thoroughly played around with the Nine Souls Sword, not the slightest bit of it being wasted.


    The Sword Qi followed the movements of the Nine Souls Sword, shuttling back and forth, as fast as lightning!


    "Hiss ¡­" "Hiss ¡­"


    As the Nine Souls Sword s galloped, the sounds of their bodies being torn apart and their martial veins cut off followed.


    The leading Martial Cultivator glared at Li Xie. He did not expect Li Xie to be so skilled.


    His brothers were like tree bark as they fell down one by one.


    The leading Martial Cultivator gripped his blade tightly, and took the opportunity to pounce towards Li Xie.


    Go to hell!


    The ruthless slash from the Martial Cultivator in the lead was extremely strong, enough to split mountains and shatter rocks.


    Bang!


    The leading Martial Cultivator was shocked, he immediately flew up with the blade in his hand.


    When the leading Martial Cultivator landed, he felt a sweet sensation in his throat and a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out onto the ground.


    Li Xie held the Nine Souls Sword and quickly walked to the side of the Martial Cultivator who was leading the way. At this moment, the who was leading the way no longer had the arrogance he had just now.


    Please spare me! Grandpa! The leading Martial Cultivator said while trembling in fear.


    Tell me, was it Ye Xuankai who sent you guys to deal with me? Li Xie asked harshly.


    Yes, it''s him. Old Man Ye spent a lot to buy your head! The leading Martial Cultivator said.


    "Whiz!"


    The of the Nine Souls Sword flashed past and instantly cut off the Martial Veins of the Martial Cultivator leading them. The leading Martial Cultivator did not even have time to scream before he fainted.


    Several hours later, it was the early morning of the second day, and the sunlight had already filled the entire Zhong Yuan City.


    There were quite a lot of people gathered at the Zhong Yuan City city gate, and this was because Su Cheng had appeared here.


    Su Cheng bowed towards the citizens of Zhong Yuan City. This time, he was going to travel a long distance, so he did not know when he would return.


    Li Xie, who was standing beside Su Cheng, had also attracted many gazes, but not many people knew his identity.


    Su Cheng gave Li Xie a meaningful glance, and then they turned to walk out, getting further and further away from the Zhong Yuan City.


    As for Su Cheng, he could have just sent people to find the divine weapons for him instead of coming out himself, but he didn''t.


    Su Cheng and Li Xie were both true Martial Cultivator. They did not fear danger, and became braver the more they fought.


    The red meteor which had cut through the night sky the previous night had fallen towards the southwest direction of Zhong Yuan City, thus Li Xie and Su Cheng had followed along the southwest path to look for it.


    Along the way, they met many people from other sects and aristocratic families. They were also here for the divine weapon.


    When dusk fell, Scopus Town appeared in front of Li Xie and Su Cheng.


    After a long journey, both Li Xie and Su Cheng were a little tired, so they quickened their steps and entered Screw Town.


    Tian Hu Town was under the jurisdiction of the Zhong Yuan City, and there were still many merchants that rushed to the Zhong Yuan City to do business every day.

 C52

    Walking on the main street of the Tian Hu Town, Li Xie''s and Su Cheng''s eyes never rested for a moment.


    Compared to the Zhong Yuan City, Conch Town seemed very quiet, and there weren''t many pedestrians on the street; it appeared to be scattered.


    There were only two inns in Conch Town, and one of them was already overcrowded. Moreover, the majority of them were guests that had come from outside of Zhong Yuan City.


    After they walked around the Tian Snail Town, Li Xie and Su Cheng stayed at another inn, and there weren''t many guest rooms left in this inn.


    This inn was called Chuntian Inn, and it was said that the innkeeper was a young woman.


    As for the true identity of this young woman, no one knew.


    Furthermore, this young woman was wearing a veil on her face, so no one had ever seen her full appearance before.


    After paying the bill in the guest room, Li Xie and Su Cheng found a place to sit.


    Hey! Waiter, hurry up and ask your manager to come out!


    That''s right! That''s right! We came here out of respect!


    Hurry up and ask your shopkeeper to come out, or we''ll overturn this inn right now!


    The waiter scratched his ears and cheeks, at a loss as to what to do. For a moment, he didn''t know what to do.


    This group of people called Xuan Xuan all had weapons in their hands and all of them looked ferocious.


    He was a mortal, so he definitely could not stand up to these people.


    At this moment, a faint fragrance wafted down from the second floor of the inn.


    Everyone raised their heads to look at the second floor of the inn. They saw a young woman walking toward the first floor of the inn. It was likely that she was the owner of this inn.


    That group of people called Xuan stood up. Their eyes flashed with green light.


    Not long later, the young woman walked down from the second floor and stood on the first floor.


    The young woman walked with light steps, as if a gentle breeze had just blown past.


    The young woman glanced at the crowd. She wasn''t surprised to see such a sight.


    Lady, why don''t you take off your veil and let us see your peerless appearance? A man with triangular eyes said.


    Yes, as long as you take off your veil, we are willing to come here every day! A man with shifty eyes said.


    Sorry everyone, this is only an inn and not a romantic place! The young woman said.


    F * ck! Girl, you''d better not refuse a toast and drink a forfeit! The man with triangular eyes roared.


    Do you want the Springfield Inn to disappear from Spinney Town today? The shifty looking man coldly said as the corner of his mouth twitched.


    The young woman was unmoved and gestured for the waiter to come and see her off.


    The waiter tremblingly walked to the side of the triangular-eyed man. Before he could say a word, he was kicked away by the triangular-eyed man. He couldn''t get up even after landing on the ground for a long time.


    Then the man with the triangular eyes walked quickly to the woman''s side. He closed his eyes and took a careful sniff of the woman''s fragrance.


    When the triangular-eyed man opened his eyes, his face was filled with a lewd smile.


    Lady, you are very lucky, because I have taken a fancy to you. Hurry up and come back with me. The man with the triangular eyes said.


    No need, please leave as soon as possible! The young woman stared coldly at the man with triangular eyes.


    Oh, it looks like I have to do it! Just as he finished speaking, the man with triangular eyes stretched out his rough hand to grab the young woman''s jade hand.


    Get lost!


    Following an explosive shout, the Sword Qi whizzed out one after another.


    The triangular-eyed man hastily staggered backwards. If he was just a little bit later, his arm would''ve been gone.


    The triangular-eyed man glared at Li Xie fiercely, the one who had brandished the sword just now was him!


    If looks could kill, the man with triangular eyes would have liked to kill Li Xie with his eyes.


    With Nine Souls Sword in hand, Li Xie quickly walked to the side of the young lady. Facing the vicious gaze of the triangular eyed man, he turned a blind eye.


    Young master, you don''t have to do anything. They are a bunch of people that shouldn''t be trifled with! The young lady turned her face to Li Xie and said.


    Humph! Miss, you''re right, I am the fifth in command of Four Seas Hall. Stinking brat, offending me is equivalent to offending the entire Four Seas Hall! The triangular-eyed man said in a domineering manner.


    His Four Seas Hall actually had a fifth boss? You''re not going to slap your face to make it look fat, are you? Li Xie said with a skeptical tone.


    Brat, you actually dare to doubt my identity. It seems that you think your life is not short enough! With that said, the man with triangular eyes pulled out his blade and pierced towards Li Xie''s chest.


    Li Xie''s hands lightly trembled, and the Nine Souls Sword released a Sword Qi that pounced towards the triangular-eyed man.


    Ah ¡­


    The triangular-eyed man quickly retreated. When he stabilized himself, he touched his neck. There was a layer of skin on his neck, and his face immediately flushed red.


    Everyone attack together!


    The triangular-eyed man waved his hand, and the Four Seas Hall disciples that followed him over to Conch Town flocked over, charging towards Li Xie.


    Li Xie gently pushed the young girl out, and then raised his Nine Souls Sword to welcome her.


    At this time, Su Cheng summoned his Qilin Fan and charged towards the Four Seas Hall disciples.


    Facing this mob of Four Seas Hall, Su Cheng''s hands had already started to itch.


    The Qilin Fan was just an ordinary paper fan, but in Su Cheng''s hands, it was a sharp weapon.


    On the other side, Li Xie had thoroughly displayed the Nine Souls Sword, immediately causing the attacks of the Four Seas Hall disciples to come to a halt.


    Boom!


    Li Xie''s feet slightly rose into the air, taking the chance to wave the Nine Souls Sword forward, causing the Sword Qi to rush out.


    Ah ¡­


    In the blink of an eye, the Four Seas Hall disciples all fell onto the ground in unbearable pain.


    The triangular-eyed man tremblingly retreated. At this moment, his eyes were filled with fear.


    Li Xie held the Nine Souls Sword and walked towards the triangular-eyed man. The triangular-eyed man immediately turned around and ran.


    Li Xie frowned, how could he let a man with triangular eyes slip away right under his nose?


    Li Xie released his right hand, and the Nine Souls Sword rushed towards the triangular-eyed man, a sword light flashed, and the triangular-eyed man''s throat was instantly cut.


    When the man with triangular eyes fell to the ground, he had already lost his breath.


    Whoosh ¡­


    After the Nine Souls Sword pierced the air, it turned around and returned to the sword sheath on Li Xie''s back.


    When Li Xie turned around, the young lady was already standing beside him.


    The young girl bent her knees and thanked Li Xie. If it wasn''t for Li Xie''s help, her Spring Heaven Inn might have been destroyed.


    The young girl saluted Li Xie and thanked him.


    Su Cheng quickly walked in front of the young woman, indicating that she did not need to be overly courteous.


    In the blink of an eye, the Tian Hu Town had already been enveloped by the boundless night sky.


    The street that was initially filled with footsteps gradually calmed down. Soon, every house was brightly lit.


    There were at least tens of thousands of people in a town like Conch Town.


    The night was long and he was in no mood to sleep. Li Xie jumped out of the window and climbed up to the roof of Spring Tian Inn, looking at the moonlight.


    As expected, Li Xie once again thought of the girl that was currently in the distance.


    Throughout the journey, Li Xie had always wanted to tell himself not to think about her, but the more he acted this way, the more he couldn''t control himself.


    Therefore, Li Xie gave up resisting and poured out all of his yearning.

 C53

    The moonlight gently sprinkled onto Li Xie''s body. On a summer night, a breeze would occasionally blow past a tall building like an inn.


    Following a gust of fragrance, Li Xie turned to the side and saw that the shopkeeper of the Spring Heaven Inn, a young woman, was walking towards him.


    At this moment, the young woman still had a veil covering her face.


    When the young lady walked to Li Xie''s side, it was like a cool breeze.


    The young woman quietly appeared, causing the moonlight to dim.


    Young master, I still don''t know your respected name. The young woman said.


    I''m just a nobody. Li Xie said with a wry smile.


    No, you are not a nobody, you are my benefactor. If not for you, today''s situation would be even worse. The young woman said in an extremely sincere tone.


    It was just a small effort on the part of those who saw injustice on the road. There was nothing to worry about. Li Xie said.


    But I still want to know your name, Young Master. The young girl said with a look of anticipation.


    Li Xie frowned, then turned his gaze elsewhere.


    Li Xie was very curious about the identity of this young girl. There must be some other powerful force behind her, or else she wouldn''t be running an inn in Conch Town.


    In the face of the extremely vicious Four Seas Hall disciples, the young woman appeared to be calm and at ease.


    As for who exactly the power behind the young woman was, Li Xie would not ask, as he believed that the young woman would voluntarily tell him about it.


    Young master, why don''t we make an exchange. I''ll tell you my name, and you''ll tell me yours. The young woman said.


    "Hmm ¡­" This exchange seems to have paid off. Li Xie rubbed his nose and said.


    Heh, my name is Miao Linger. The young lady patted Li Xie''s shoulder and said: "Sir, it''s your turn."


    My name is Li Xie. Li Xie turned his face to the side to look at Miao Linger and said.


    Miao Linger stared at Li Xie in shock. She had heard of Li Xie''s name.


    Just a while ago, Li Xie had fought with the tyrannical Devil Monarch before.


    Even after fighting with the Devil Monarch, Li Xie was still alive.


    After a while, Miao Linger finally walked out from the shock.


    Bang!


    Just then, a figure descended from the sky and landed beside Li Xie and his group.


    Li Xie and Miao Linger turned their faces, and sure enough, it was Su Cheng who was standing beside them.


    Just now, Su Cheng was preparing to chat with Li Xie, but Li Xie was not in the guest room.


    After thinking about it, Su Cheng decided to go up to the roof of Spring Heaven Inn to take a look.


    As expected, Li Xie was on the roof of the Spring Heaven Inn, and the young woman was also by his side.


    Miao Linger smiled faintly. She did not expect that the roof of the Spring Tian Inn would actually be the most lively place in the entire Spring Tian Inn.


    Miao Linger could tell that although Su Cheng and Li Xie seemed to be very close, they were not real friends.


    Brother Li, you''re actually here to admire the moon, why didn''t you call me? Su Cheng said as he looked at Li Xie.


    Well, the next time I see the moon, I''ll call you. Li Xie said.


    Su Cheng faintly smiled as he shifted his gaze from Li Xie''s body to Miao Linger''s.


    Young lady, what were you and Brother Li chatting about just now? Su Cheng looked at Miao Linger and asked.


    I assume you are Young Noble Su Cheng Su from Zhong Yuan City? Miao Linger said.


    Su Cheng glanced at Li Xie, and it seemed that Li Xie had already told the young lady his identity.


    Since this was already the case, Su Cheng felt that there was no need to intentionally conceal his identity.


    That''s right, I am Su Cheng. I didn''t think that you would have heard of my name. Su Cheng said.


    Young Master Su, you are known as the number one young master of the East Qin Kingdom''s Nine Families, it isn''t strange for me to have heard of your name. Miao Linger said.


    After Su Cheng finished listening to what Miao Linger had to say, he could not help but feel happy in his heart, even though he had already heard these words more than a hundred times.


    May I know what your name is, miss? Su Cheng asked gently.


    Her name was Miao Linger. Under Miao Linger''s gaze, Li Xie spoke up for her.


    So it''s Lady Miao. Why would you run an inn in Conch Town? Su Cheng asked with interest.


    To tell you the truth, I was instructed by my master to run this Springfield Inn. Miao Linger said calmly.


    Li Xie and Su Cheng both wanted to ask Miao Linger who her master was, but they knew that they would definitely not get an accurate answer.


    Miao Linger was not an ordinary woman. She definitely had a reason for running the Spring Tian Inn in Conch Town.


    At this moment, Miao Linger gently removed the veil covering her face, revealing her exceptional appearance.


    Li Xie and Su Cheng''s gaze naturally fell on Miao Linger''s face, and then, Miao Linger put on her veil.


    Even though Miao Linger was wearing a veil, he could still feel her cheeks burning hot.


    She had already spent many days in Conch Town, and tonight was the first time she had taken off her veil.


    Swoosh!


    An arrow descended from the sky, and instantly landed at Li Xie''s feet. The arrow''s tail was still swaying.


    Li Xie looked around, and did not see any suspicious figures nearby.


    Li Xie bent down and pulled the arrow out from the rubble. There was a cloth tied to the end of the arrow, and then Li Xie took the cloth off.


    Under Su Cheng''s and Miao Linger''s attentive gaze, Li Xie slowly opened the cloth.


    The content written on the cloth immediately refreshed Li Xie and Su Cheng''s spirits. Their purpose for coming here was precisely for this cloth.


    Li Xie rolled up the cloth, and with a pinch, the cloth turned into ashes.


    Miao Linger carefully observed the changes in Li Xie and Su Cheng''s expressions. The two of them were not ordinary Martial Cultivator.


    So you are here for the divine weapon that descended into the mortal world. Miao Linger said naturally.


    Hmm, are you not interested in this, Lady Miaomiao? Su Cheng asked.


    Although I am also a Martial Cultivator, I am not very interested in Divine Weapons. Miao Linger shook her head and said.


    A few hours later, dawn arrived. The morning of Conch Town arrived as scheduled.


    Li Xie and Su Cheng departed right after they finished eating. Their destination was the Four Seas Hall headquarters.


    Four Seas Hall''s headquarters was located at Four Seas Mountain, which was a desolate area that no ordinary people dared to live in for a hundred miles.


    Four Seas Hall is one of the top evil sects in the entire East Qin Kingdom, with power covering the north and south, and thousands of disciples.


    In order to further strengthen his own momentum, he had invited some of the more reputable people from all over the place to head to their headquarters to take a look at the glory of their divine weapons.


    It didn''t matter if this matter was true or false, Li Xie and Su Cheng would still head over to the Four Seas Hall headquarters to investigate.


    After traversing over the mountains, he was getting closer and closer to Four Seas Mountain, the headquarters of the Four Seas Hall.


    Along the way, Li Xie and Su Cheng had met many sects that were like them, hurrying to the Four Seas Mountain to catch a glimpse of their divine weapons.


    Even the royal family of East Qin Kingdom had sent someone, and they were all on the way as well.


    Tian Hu Town was not far from Four Seas Mountain. When the sun was about to set, Four Seas Mountain had already appeared in Li Xie''s and Su Cheng''s line of sight.


    Li Xie and Su Cheng stopped in their tracks, and then looked at each other, without a trace of exhaustion in their eyes.


    Strangely speaking, Four Seas Hall had not arranged for disciples to guard the foot of Four Seas Mountain.


    The foot of the Four Seas Hall was very quiet. No one would choose to stay at the foot of the Four Seas Mountain.

 C54

    The people from the various sects passed by Li Xie and his side in a hurry, and then continued to walk forward with big strides.


    The mountain path to Four Seas Hall Headquarters was already packed with people, in groups of two or three, chatting and laughing.


    Li Xie raised his head to take a look. The mountain peak of Four Seas Mountain was not far from them.


    Almost at the same time, they started walking towards the mountain peak of Four Seas Mountain.


    The Four Seas Hall''s headquarters was located at the top of the Four Seas Mountain, which was the most scenic place in the entire Four Seas Mountain.


    An hour later, the main entrance to Four Seas Hall headquarters appeared in front of Li Xie and her.


    What was completely different from the scenery at the foot of the Four Seas Mountain was that the entrance to Four Seas Hall headquarters was bustling with noise and excitement, and the Four Seas Hall headquarters was already brightly lit.


    The people that the various sects had sent over happily walked in, surrounded by the Four Seas Hall disciples. At this moment, the Four Seas Hall Headquarters was already packed with people.


    At this time, several disciples of Four Seas Hall ran over to Li Xie and his group''s side, and politely cupped their fists and bowed to them.


    They didn''t expect that so many people would come to their headquarters within a single day after sending out the invitation letter. They wanted to take a look at the prowess of their masterwork weapons. The charm of their masterwork weapons was indeed extraordinary.


    Although they were disciples of the Four Seas Hall, they had never even seen divine weapons before.


    After this, the reputation of Four Seas Hall would rise once again.


    I wonder if the two of you came from any of the different sects and clans? A Four Seas Hall disciple with a full beard asked.


    My name is Su Cheng, I come from the Zhong Yuan City! Su Cheng cupped his hands and said.


    Ah!" So you are the famous young master Su Cheng Su! A fully bearded disciple of the Four Seas Hall said enthusiastically.


    The four words, ''famous'' and ''famous'' were truly unworthy of those words! Su Cheng said as he furrowed his brows.


    Young Noble Su, please come in! The Four Seas Hall disciple with a full beard stepped to the side and extended his hand in a gesture of invitation.


    Under the cries of the Four Seas Hall disciples, Su Cheng disappeared from Li Xie''s line of sight in a short while.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows, and then looked to his left and right, where a few Four Seas Hall disciples were looking at him impatiently.


    Compared to Su Cheng, his reputation in East Qin Kingdom was indeed small.


    The disciples of the Four Seas Hall looked at Li Xie, and then they walked in front with big strides.


    Following their footsteps, Li Xie entered the Four Seas Hall headquarters. What assaulted him were waves after waves of thick smell of alcohol.


    The headquarters of the Four Seas Hall was very big, and each courtyard was unique to one another.


    No matter whether it was the dark corners or the various important places, disciples of the Four Seas Hall would always patrol back and forth non-stop, not relaxing in the slightest.


    The eastern courtyard of Four Seas Hall Headquarters was already filled with people, so the Third Master of Four Seas Hall had his disciples clean up a guest room in the southern courtyard for Li Xie to stay in.


    The Southern Courtyard hadn''t been occupied for a long time, and the air was filled with a rotten smell.


    The night was long, and the sounds that came from outside the Southern Academy made Li Xie fall into a deep sleep.


    Thus, Li Xie paced back and forth in the courtyard of the Southern Academy. Actually, he knew very little about Four Seas Hall.


    He only knew that the hall master''s name was Helian Guan and that the realm of Martial Cultivator was unfathomable.


    In addition, the second and third master of Four Seas Hall were also quite strong.


    This time, the Four Seas Hall had invited so many people to take a look at the glory of these divine weapons, so they must have definitely made preparations.


    At this time, it was still unknown what the true intentions of the Hall Master of the Four Seas Hall, Helian Guan, were.


    Every time Old Daoist Feng''s words would echo in Li Xie''s ears, he would feel a sense of anticipation for the divine weapons that had descended into the mortal realm a few days ago.


    Old Daoist Suifeng had said that the divine weapon that descended into the mortal realm a few days ago would coincidentally be able to restrain the Nine Souls Sword in his hands. He had to give it a try.


    Following the sound of hurried footsteps, Li Xie stopped and looked around.


    Bang!


    With a loud bang, the gates of the Southern Courtyard that were already closed were kicked away.


    After that, a group of aggressive Four Seas Hall Disciples rushed in from the outside of the southern courtyard, and instantly surrounded Li Xie.


    At this moment, a man carrying a saber on his shoulder swaggered in from outside the southern courtyard.


    The man on the shoulder looked at Li Xie and laughed coldly. His goal this trip was to retrieve Li Xie''s head.


    The Four Seas Hall disciples all moved to the side, allowing the man with the blade on his shoulder to quickly walk in front of Li Xie.


    He was a little disappointed, because he did not see any expression of panic in Li Xie''s eyes.


    Hiss!


    The man took out the blade he was carrying on his shoulder and pointed it at Li Xie''s chest. His eyes were filled with killing intent, and the cold aura of the blade was overflowing.


    Fourth Boss, it was said that he came with Su Cheng and Young Noble Su, maybe he was Young Noble Su''s friend.


    The man rolled his eyes at the person who spoke earlier, causing him to retreat in fright.


    How could Young Master Su make friends with such a person? At most, he was just a small subordinate of Young Master Su. The man stared at Li Xie and said.


    You are the Fourth Master of the Four Seas Hall? Li Xie asked calmly.


    Yes, that''s right, I am the fourth in command of Four Seas Hall, Huang Meng! The man''s mouth twitched as he said.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows, this fourth master of Four Seas Hall was very arrogant.


    In any case, it was a long night, and Li Xie was worried that he wouldn''t be able to find someone to relieve his boredom.


    Huang Meng squinted his eyes and stared at Li Xie. If looks could kill, he would have sliced Li Xie into pieces a long time ago.


    Where is Su Cheng now? Li Xie gazed at Huang Meng and asked.


    Prince Su must be living in the Northern Courtyard, unlike you who are only fit to live in the Southern Courtyard which reeked of rotting energy. Huang Meng coldly said.


    Li Xie clenched his fists, Four Seas Hall was a place that truly understood how to look down on others!


    Huang Meng took a step forward and used this opportunity to place the blade in his hand on Li Xie''s shoulder.


    How could he not see the anger in Li Xie''s eyes? He just wanted to force Li Xie to take the initiative and attack, so that he would have sufficient reasons to send him on his way.


    When hall master Helian Guan scolded them, he could just push it away.


    Fifth brother is my best brother in the Four Seas Hall, you actually dared to kill him, you are tired of living! Huang Meng said as the corner of his mouth twitched.


    He was simply asking for it. He couldn''t blame me in the slightest. Li Xie said.


    Kill him! Kill him!


    The surrounding Four Seas Hall Disciples were all excited, they all shouted out loudly, and clenched their fists.


    At this very moment, Huang Meng was extremely excited. A fiendish grin appeared on his face.


    Li Xie, did you hear that? If you kowtow and beg for mercy now, I might let you die a little faster! Huang Meng coldly said.


    Are you all trying to bully me with your numbers? Li Xie asked casually.


    Huang Meng looked at the Four Seas Hall disciples standing around him, and they all started to retreat.


    To deal with an ant like you, why would you need so many people? Huang Meng said as the corner of his mouth twitched.


    Is that so? I''d like to see it. Li Xie said calmly.


    Humph! As you wish! With that said, Huang Meng slashed towards Li Xie''s neck. Clang!


    Li Xie gently tilted his body, and in the blink of an eye, the blade in Huang Meng''s hand just happened to pass by his shoulder.


    Huang Meng was immediately enraged. He clenched his blade tightly and slashed at Li Xie''s abdomen with great force.


    With a tap of his feet, Li Xie instantly rose into the air behind Huang Meng.


    Boom!

 C55

    Huang Meng turned around and fiercely slashed at Li Xie''s vitals again and again.


    Huang Meng''s face was already flushed red. He activated all the Elemental Energy in his body, just like a raging fire.


    The blade howled, scaring the Four Seas Hall disciples in the southern courtyard away.


    Huang Meng pushed his blade forward, not giving Li Xie any time to catch his breath.


    In his eyes, Li Xie was already someone who had to die.


    Tonight, Huang Meng would definitely send Li Xie to the grave to accompany his good brother.


    Ah!


    Huang Meng roared, he then raised his blade and descended from the sky and waved it towards Li Xie''s head.


    The disciples standing at the side of the Four Seas Hall held their breaths, waiting to see the moment Li Xie''s head hit the ground.


    Boom!


    Li Xie unsheathed his sword and raised the Nine Souls Sword up.


    Bang!


    Huang Meng turned pale with fright. He flew out with the saber in his hand, his right hand still trembling.


    After Huang Meng fell to the ground, his left hand struggled to support his body as he instantly stood up.


    Huang Meng glared at Li Xie fiercely. He did not expect that Li Xie had some ability to do something like this.


    Since that was the case, Huang Meng could only use everyone''s power to send Li Xie on his way.


    Kill!


    With a wave of his hand, the Four Seas Hall disciples of the southern courtyard pounced like wolves and tigers towards Li Xie.


    In the blink of an eye, the killing intent in the Southern Courtyard had completely shattered the rotting aura in the air.


    The blade''s light flashed, scaring the birds hiding in the leaves away.


    The Four Seas Hall disciples waved the weapons in their hands, and fiercely slashed at Li Xie. As long as Li Xie was even a step slower, he would immediately be covered in wounds.


    Li Xie lightly tapped his feet on the ground and soared into the sky, seizing the opportunity to scatter the Nine Souls Sword in all directions.


    Sou sou!


    The of the Nine Souls Sword rushed out, pouncing towards the Four Seas Hall disciples who were besieging Li Xie.


    Ah ¡­


    As the screams of the Four Seas Hall disciples echoed in the air above the southern courtyard, those disciples that had been injured by the Sword Qi fell to the ground one after another.


    Following that was the weapon falling to the side with a clanging sound.


    Huang Meng couldn''t help but suck in a breath of cold air as he watched the scene unfold.


    When Li Xie landed on the ground, a piece of disciple with Four Seas Hall had already fallen beside him.


    Li Xie turned and looked at Huang Meng. He saw fear in Huang Meng''s eyes.


    At this moment, Huang Meng no longer had that arrogant expression from before.


    Young Master Li, you are Young Noble Su''s friend, right? I am also Young Noble Su''s friend! Huang Meng said with a smiling face.


    Oh, didn''t you just say that I''m Su Cheng''s follower? Li Xie asked.


    I was wrong just now, please forgive me! At this moment, he was already sweating profusely.


    Li Xie walked towards Huang Meng step by step. Huang Meng tremblingly backed off, his steps extremely heavy.


    The silence in the Southern Courtyard was terrifying to the point that Huang Meng could hear his own heartbeat.


    Li Xie, this is the headquarters of the Four Seas Hall, I am the fourth in command of the Four Seas Hall, you better keep to the point! Huang Meng pretended to be calm as he said this.


    Heh! You''re right, but so what! Li Xie said.


    Ah! I want to die with you! Huang Meng raised the blade in his hand and rushed towards Li Xie.


    Li Xie suddenly leaned to the side, causing Huang Meng to pounce on empty air.


    In a split-second, Li Xie punched towards Huang Meng''s back, instantly sending Huang Meng flying.


    Bang!


    When Huang Meng landed on the ground, the ground beneath him cracked open.


    Just as Huang Meng was about to get up, Li Xie suddenly jumped, instantly arriving beside Huang Meng and stepping on his chest.


    Huang Meng felt a sweetness in his throat as blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.


    Swoosh!


    The Sword Qi flashed past and cut off Huang Meng''s martial vein in an instant.


    Huang Meng fainted on the spot. He didn''t even have the time to scream.


    Get the hell out of here with your Fourth Boss! Li Xie kept his Nine Souls Sword and shouted to the disciples of Four Seas Hall.


    Several disciples of Four Seas Hall staggered over, then carried Huang Meng out.


    In the blink of an eye, a few hours had quietly passed by and the sunlight shined once again over the entire Four Seas Hall''s headquarters.


    When Li Xie woke up, he heard wave after wave of hurried footsteps.


    Li Xie immediately pushed open the door and walked out, quickly walking to the main entrance of the southern courtyard, only to see everyone excitedly running towards the northern courtyard of the Four Seas Hall headquarters.


    Li Xie immediately followed the crowd towards the northern courtyard of Four Seas Hall headquarters. From everyone''s discussion, he found out that they were currently in the northern courtyard and that the hall master of Four Seas Hall was preparing to let everyone have a feast for their eyes.


    As for what they were going to use to make everyone happy, it was most likely a masterwork weapon.


    After a while, Li Xie arrived at the Four Seas Hall Headquarters'' north courtyard. Currently, it was already packed with people.


    Li Xie looked around, he did not see Su Cheng in the crowd.


    The pavilion master had arrived!


    "Whiz!"


    Everyone turned to look, only to see Helian Guan standing in the center of the courtyard with his face covered in red light.


    Helian Guan swept his eyes across his surroundings. Not only were they influential and upright families, even the royal family of East Qin Kingdom had sent people over to take a look at the power of divine weapons.


    Helian Guan put both hands behind his back, looking like a great clan lord of Four Seas Hall.


    The current Helian Guan was over fifty years old, and his face was filled with vicissitudes and tranquility.


    If not for him, Four Seas Hall might still be an unremarkable little sect.


    He saw anticipation in everyone''s eyes. This was exactly what he was looking for.


    Hall Master Helian, hurry up and invite the divine weapon out for us to enjoy our eyes!


    Yes, we can''t wait!


    Helian Guan laughed leisurely. Since he had sent out invitations so many times to let the people around him see the glory of his divine weapons, he would naturally not go back on his words.


    Just then, Helian Guan looked up at the sky and everyone followed.


    Suddenly, two men descended from the sky. They were both holding an object that emitted cold light.


    The status of these two men in Four Seas Hall was not low. They were respectively the second in command, Zhang Qiu, and the third in command, Bo Chao.


    They wore gloves made from Thousand Year Dark Iron, or else the objects emitting a cold light would have crippled their arms.


    Everyone furrowed their brows as they looked at the object that was emitting a cold light. They felt that it was both like a sword and a blade.


    At this moment, a blue-robed man slowly walked to the side of the object emitting a cold light. He couldn''t help but reach out his hand to touch it.


    Ah!


    With the scream of the man in green, by the time everyone had regained their senses, the man was already lying in a pool of blood.


    Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. The killing intent of this object was extremely dense.


    Helian Guan squinted his eyes. Even though this object was emitting an extremely murderous aura, many people still wanted to get their hands on it.


    In fact, it was the masterwork weapon that descended into the mortal realm a few days ago. It was absolutely unparalleled in the world!


    After obtaining it, and making it only usable, he might even be able to do whatever he wanted in the East Qin Kingdom!


    As long as someone held him tightly in their hands, this masterwork weapon would belong to him! Helian Guan said loudly.


    Is that true?


    Of course!


    Zhang Qiu and Bo Chao looked at each other. They did not dare to have any thoughts about this Divine Weapon even though they were holding onto it.


    Let me do it!


    Before he finished speaking, a burly Martial Cultivator walked quickly to the side of the Divine Weapon.

 C56

    He narrowed his eyes and sized up the masterwork weapon, his eyes filled with greed.


    He didn''t come here to join in on the fun, but to make a name for himself!


    From now on, you belong to me! The burly Martial Cultivator stretched out both of his hands to grab the Divine Weapon.


    Bang!


    Ah! Ah!


    In the blink of an eye, the great Martial Cultivator was sucked into its body.


    Seeing this, some people trembled with fear and took several steps back. They no longer dared to think about using divine weapons.


    In their eyes, the Divine Weapon was no longer a Divine Weapon, but a ferocious beast.


    However, there were still many people who were eager to give it a try. They believed that divine weapons had intelligence, and when its master appeared, it would become docile.


    With the Divine Weapon right in front of them, who would dare to try possessing it? Helian Guan looked around and said.


    The people in the yard looked at each other. They were all hesitating.


    Let me try!


    Everyone turned to look, only to see that it was a young Martial Cultivator.


    This young Martial Cultivator was Li Xie. He walked quickly to the side of the divine weapon.


    Li Xie turned his face to look at Helian Guan, and cupped his fists and saluted Helian Guan.


    Helian Guan stroked his long beard, he was looking forward to seeing if Li Xie could hold onto the Divine Weapon in his hand.


    Brat, are you tired of living?


    Scram, don''t waste your little life, how can a godly weapon like you!


    Yeah, hurry up and get out of here, don''t embarrass yourself!


    Li Xie smiled indifferently. At this time, his gaze was fixated on the divine weapon, he did not even glance at the others.


    The Nine Souls Sword that was lying in its sword sheath did not move at all, which was outside of Li Xie''s expectations.


    He had originally thought that the Nine Souls Sword would be jealous, but it seemed to understand his true intentions.


    Brother Li, you better consider this carefully. With that said, Su Cheng quickly walked to Li Xie''s side.


    Li Xie withdrew his gaze, and it fell onto Su Cheng''s body.


    Brother Su, I''ll be fine. You just stand to the side and watch the show. Li Xie said in a relaxed manner.


    Su Cheng shook his head, since Li Xie had made up his mind, there was nothing he could say.


    Su Cheng turned and walked quickly to Helian Guan''s side. Then, he stared at him from the corner of his eyes.


    As the hall master of the Four Seas Hall, how could Helian Guan possibly give away such a powerful weapon with good intentions?


    Even though had been warmly received by the Four Seas Hall last night, Su Cheng''s mind was still clear, and had not lost it.


    At this moment, the gazes of everyone in the northern courtyard of the Four Seas Hall were all fixed on Li Xie.


    Whether it was mocking or waiting to see a good show unfold, no one would believe that Li Xie could hold the divine weapon tightly in his hands.


    That was a godly weapon. Not just any cat or dog could catch its eyes.


    Li Xie focused on the Divine Weapon with all his attention. He tried to communicate with the Divine Weapon through his eyes, but the Divine Weapon ignored him.


    Even so, Li Xie did not curse the Divine Weapons in his heart.


    He felt that the masterwork weapon should be a blade with a cold and sharp blade.


    Hurry up! Don''t dawdle!


    Yes, was he afraid! If you''re scared, then hurry up and scram!


    Li Xie''s mouth twitched, and he took the chance to extend his right hand to grab the handle of the Divine Weapon.


    How is this possible!?


    Everyone in the northern courtyard of the Four Seas Hall thought that Li Xie would be knocked flying by the divine weapon, to their surprise, the divine weapon did not even budge an inch.


    Under everyone''s astonished gazes, Li Xie raised his Divine Weapon high up, and the light on the Divine Weapon slowly faded away.


    The Second Leader and Third Master of the Four Seas Hall who stood in front of Li Xie stared at him in disbelief, momentarily at a loss.


    Just as Li Xie expected, the Divine Weapon was a peerless blade.


    Helian Guan raised his brows. The situation had developed beyond his expectations.


    He did not know who Li Xie was nor did he know where he came from! This was not part of his plan!


    Su Cheng saw all of these, and of course he was also shocked that Li Xie was able to hold onto his Divine Weapon tightly.


    Fast! If I kill him, the Ares-class weapon will be mine!


    Right! Go on!


    Helian Guan laughed coldly, although the development of the situation was slightly worse than what he had planned, the outcome that should have happened still happened.


    Whoosh ¡­


    Li Xie raised his head and saw a glowing vortex suddenly appear right above him.


    Just like a gust of fierce wind, Li Xie''s divine weapon dragged him into the vortex, in the blink of an eye.


    After the whirlpool disappeared, the northern courtyard of Four Seas Hall became empty.


    Bang!


    When Li Xie was able to see his surroundings again, he realized that he had arrived at a place completely different from the Four Seas Hall.


    It was very quiet here, so he could hear the sound of a stream passing by.


    The divine weapon was still in Li Xie''s hands, but it no longer had the extremely murderous aura from when it was in the northern courtyard of the Four Seas Hall.


    Li Xie held his Divine Weapon as he moved forward. No matter what danger was in front of him, he would not hesitate to investigate what it was.


    The further they went, the weirder it became for Li Xie, because he could only hear the sound of the water but not see where the water was coming from.


    The surrounding scenery was not like summer, it was more like late spring.


    Li Yun raised his eyebrows. He wondered if he had come to a place devoid of people.


    Where the exit was, he could neither see nor feel it.


    At this moment, he stopped in his tracks in shock, because the masterwork weapon in his hand was being destroyed in a puff of smoke.


    What was going on? Could it be that the divine weapon in his hand was a fake?


    Although Li Xie''s heart was full of questions, no one would answer them for him.


    As the last wisp of smoke disappeared within Li Xie''s hands, the divine weapon didn''t leave even the slightest trace.


    Li Xie couldn''t help but frown as he suddenly understood that all of this was just a trap that Helian Guan had meticulously set up.


    Sou sou sou!


    In a split-second, several tall figures descended from the sky.


    Li Xie withdrew his train of thoughts, and then extended his vision forward.


    These few tall figures were all Martial Cultivator, and they coldly sized up Li Xie.


    As early as the day before yesterday, they had already arrived here to make preparations.


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth raised slightly. He was extremely carefree right now, because he had finally met someone like him.


    Even though their eyes were filled with killing intent, Li Xie did not care.


    The tall Martial Cultivator looked at each other, of course they saw the smile on Li Xie''s face.


    As for what exactly Li Xie was laughing about, they couldn''t understand for a short period of time.


    Brat, are you the famous Su Cheng? The scarred Martial Cultivator glared at Li Xie and asked.


    Boss, he is definitely not Su Cheng, just look at the clothes he is wearing, it does not look like a suit that a famous clan''s young master should have!


    That''s right, my thoughts are the same as Ol ''Three''s, he definitely isn''t Su Cheng''s!


    Li Xie laughed bitterly. Seems like the trap Helian Guan had meticulously planned was for Su Cheng.


    Unfortunately, Su Cheng did not have any intentions to touch the Divine Weapon, but instead held the Divine Weapon tightly in his hand.


    No, it wasn''t a divine weapon at all, it was merely an extremely murderous weapon that Helian Guan had condensed using his powerful Elemental Energy.

 C57

    Li Xie shook his head helplessly. These people were really too ignorant and ill-informed, to think that they would only place such importance on Su Cheng.


    After all, Zhong Yuan City was a little far from the Guangxuan City.


    You two are right, I am not Su Cheng. Li Xie slowly said.


    Cough, what a pity, I waited here for a long time just for Su Cheng! The scarred Martial Cultivator said in disappointment.


    Brother, since this brat is already here, why can''t we be good and send him to heaven?


    Right, my hands are already itching!


    The scarred Martial Cultivator laughed coldly, and the scar on his face became even more sinister.


    He squinted his eyes and looked at Li Xie. He was a little angry, because he did not see any trace of fear in Li Xie''s eyes.


    The scarred Martial Cultivator''s mouth twitched, and he pounced towards Li Xie with killing intent.


    Stinking brat, it is not worth it for me to attack you, only Su Cheng is worthy for me to personally attack. The scarred Martial Cultivator said.


    Oh, I am afraid that you will never see Su Cheng again. Li Xie said.


    The scarred Martial Cultivator glared at Li Xie, of course he understood the meaning behind Li Xie''s words.


    The last time, the person who dared to talk to him like this, the grass on the grave was already more than 10 feet tall.


    Up! Whoever can cut off this brat''s head, I will reward them handsomely!


    Kill!


    In an instant, the tranquility of the lush and verdant forest vanished.


    Other than the scarred Martial Cultivator, the rest of the tall Martial Cultivator s all rushed towards Li Xie.


    At this moment, they were like a pack of wolves, tigers, leopards, and leopards, brimming with killing intent!


    With a tap of his feet, Li Xie instantly leapt onto a towering tree beside him, causing the tall Martial Cultivator s to be thrown into the air.


    The tall and big Martial Cultivator all bared their teeth as they stared at Li Xie, wishing that they could tear him to shreds.


    Ah!


    Following the loud roars that resonated through the forest, the tall Martial Cultivator s all leaped up and waved their sabers at Li Xie.


    The scarred Martial Cultivator stood not far away and observed everything. At this moment, his expression was relaxed.


    He believed that before long, Li Xie would kneel down in front of him and beg for his life with tears flowing from his eyes.


    "Whiz!" "Whiz!"


    Blades whistled by Li Xie''s ears like the roar of tigers.


    Li Xie dodged to the side, nimbly avoiding the incoming blade edge.


    When he landed on the ground, the tall Martial Cultivator followed suit and steadily landed on the ground.


    The tall and big Martial Cultivator coldly looked at Li Xie. They were a pack of wolves, and Li Xie was the piece of meat that they didn''t share.


    Almost at the same time, the tall Martial Cultivator rushed towards Li Xie.


    The lush and verdant forest trembled a few times with the footsteps of the tall and big Martial Cultivator, scaring the sky into suddenly becoming covered in dark clouds.


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth raised, and he took out the Nine Souls Sword from the sword sheath and clenched it tightly in his hands.


    Bang!


    The tall and sturdy Martial Cultivator waved the blade in their hands towards Li Xie. With a terrifying momentum, lines of cuts instantly appeared on the ground under Li Xie''s feet.


    Li Xie raised the Nine Souls Sword and in a flash, it appeared behind them and struck the Nine Souls Sword forward.


    Hiss!


    The of the Nine Souls Sword whizzed out, like a gale, it pounced towards the tall Martial Cultivator s.


    When the tall Martial Cultivator s turned around, they were already too late.


    The tall Martial Cultivator brandished their swords forward, attempting to stop the Nine Souls Sword, but the Sword Qi directly destroyed the blades in their hands.


    As the Martial Cultivator''s eyes filled with fear, they were like trees that were completely uprooted.


    Ah ¡­


    In the blink of an eye, wherever the Nine Souls Sword and Sword Qi went, the tall and big sized Martial Cultivator s fell to the ground.


    Fresh blood dyed the ground red, and the ground was littered with unrecognizable weapons.


    Li Xie kept the Nine Souls Sword and turned to look at the scarred Martial Cultivator. At this moment, the scarred Martial Cultivator had already furrowed his brows.


    He had seen everything clearly, Li Xie seemed to always be at a disadvantage, but suddenly he reversed the situation.


    The scarred Martial Cultivator looked at the brothers who couldn''t stand up on the ground, and started to burn with fury.


    Martial Cultivator with a scar on his face approached Li Xie step by step, his face becoming even more sinister.


    At this time, the scarred Martial Cultivator grasped onto something, a blade that emitted a cold light appeared in his hand.


    The Nine Souls Sword in Li Xie''s hand trembled slightly, as if it was reminding him.


    Compared to other tall and sturdy Martial Cultivator, the scarred Martial Cultivator was the real fierce one!


    Die! The scarred man bellowed, and struck towards Li Xie''s head with his blade.


    The scarred Martial Cultivator was already at the upper levels of the Profound Realm, far above Li Xie.


    The scarred Martial Cultivator''s blade had already linked with his mind and the edge of the blade became even sharper.


    BOOM! "Boom!


    Li Xie brandished the Nine Souls Sword as much as he could, and all the blades that were rushing towards him were completely blocked by him.


    However, the towering trees behind him suffered greatly, and many were chopped in half at the waist.


    The scarred Martial Cultivator''s mouth twitched, and with a flash, he appeared above Li Xie.


    Just like a mountain pressing down, the scarred Martial Cultivator swung his blade towards Li Xie''s head.


    Just now, he had already seen Li Xie''s sword movements clearly, so he was confident that he would be able to be ahead of Li Xie every single time.


    The Elemental Energy was burning in the body of the scarred Martial Cultivator, then it rushed into his right arm.


    The scarred Martial Cultivator squinted his eyes. He was waiting to see Li Xie''s mangled body. That would definitely be very interesting.


    Bang!


    The scarred Martial Cultivator opened his eyes wide, the blade he swung was actually blocked by the Nine Souls Sword.


    Suddenly, the scarred Martial Cultivator clenched his fists tightly and grit his teeth as he sunk.


    At that moment, Martial Cultivator''s face was covered with scars.


    Not only was the Elemental Energy burning in his body, a ball of fire was also blooming in his eyes.


    The scarred Martial Cultivator lowered his blade even more forcefully, Li Xie''s legs had already sunk into the ground.


    All these were seen by the scarred Martial Cultivator, he was prepared to bury Li Xie alive.


    Stinking brat, don''t struggle anymore. You have fought with me for such a long time, you should be satisfied and rest in peace. Martial Cultivator with a scar on his face advised.


    The one who should be in peace should be you! Li Xie replied.


    Yo, your temper isn''t small, but it''s a pity you''re still too young! The scarred Martial Cultivator looked at Li Xie with ridiculing eyes.


    You''d better not underestimate me! Li Xie said as he stared at the scarred Martial Cultivator.


    Humph! The only one that can enter my eyes is the first son of the Nine Noble Families, Su Cheng. Who do you think you are? The scarred Martial Cultivator said coldly.


    Li Xie frowned, a wave of powerful Elemental Energy s rushed forward, causing the sword edge of the Nine Souls Sword s to shine brightly.


    The scarred Martial Cultivator''s face sank. He could feel the change in Li Xie''s body from the Elemental Energy.


    He originally thought that Li Xie was exhausted, but he didn''t think that he would still be able to fight.


    He suddenly realized that he had underestimated Li Xie, but it was already too late.


    Swoosh!


    Li Xie gently turned the Nine Souls Sword around, and several Sword Qi s pounced towards the scarred Martial Cultivator.


    The scarred Martial Cultivator immediately retreated while brandishing the blade in his hand.


    The Sword Qi''s whistling sound echoed in the ears of the scarred Martial Cultivator, causing his footsteps to become chaotic.


    The scarred Martial Cultivator kept waving the blade in his hand, even though his arms were numb.

 C58

    Gradually, the scarred Martial Cultivator''s footsteps became heavier and heavier.


    Right after that, the scarred Martial Cultivator heard the sound of his own breathing and became even more anxious.


    "Whiz!"


    Li Xie suddenly jumped up high in the sky above the scarred Martial Cultivator, and his sword whistled as it descended.


    The scarred Martial Cultivator immediately raised his blade, the veins on his hands bulging.


    At this time, the scarred Martial Cultivator was already sweating profusely and his legs had already become heavy.


    Clang!


    The moment the Nine Souls Sword and the blade in the scarred Martial Cultivator''s hands clashed, it caused lightning to flash and thunder to appear in the sky.


    The scarred Martial Cultivator bared his teeth as he smiled at Li Xie, and blood slowly flowed down the corner of his mouth.


    Swoosh!


    Li Xie kept the Nine Souls Sword, and took the opportunity to turn around and walk behind the scarred Martial Cultivator.


    When the scarred Martial Cultivator turned around, Li Xie had already pierced the Nine Souls Sword into his heart.


    Swift as lightning, the Nine Souls Sword''s blade tore through the air, emitting sparks!


    The scarred Martial Cultivator immediately held his blade in front of him, but the Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi still pierced through his heart.


    The scarred Martial Cultivator staggered backwards, his eyes becoming dimmer and dimmer.


    When Li Xie placed the Nine Souls Sword into the sword sheath, the scarred Martial Cultivator was lying in a pool of blood.


    Li Xie quickly walked to the side of the scarred Martial Cultivator. At this moment, the scarred Martial Cultivator''s eyes were completely empty.


    Bending his waist, Li Xie closed the eyes of the scarred Martial Cultivator.


    After straightening his back, Li Xie heaved a sigh of relief. In order to deal with this group of tall Martial Cultivator, he had spent a lot of Elemental Energy.


    Li Xie turned around and continued walking forward. The lush green forest''s range was even wider than he had imagined.


    Exactly where the exit was, and in which direction, Li Xie had no way of knowing.


    After an hour, Li Xie was a little tired from walking, so he found an empty patch of grass and sat down to rest.


    Presumably, the news of Divine Weapon being in his hands had already spread across the entire East Qin Kingdom. All the forces that were interested in Divine Weapons were definitely searching for his whereabouts.


    No one knew that the divine weapon in his hand was a fake, and he was still trapped in this damned place.


    Li Xie stretched his back and then laid down on the grass.


    It was getting closer and closer to dark. He did not know if there would be any Strange Beast around after dark.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    Two leaves slowly fell from the sky, and perfectly covered Li Xie''s eyes.


    Li Xie shook his head left and right, and the leaves that covered his eyes gently slid to the side.


    Soon after, Li Xie stood up. He originally wanted to take a good rest, but he was unable to do so.


    Li Xie looked at his surroundings. The lush and verdant forest seemed to still be thriving and growing, becoming more and more boundless.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows, and continued forward with large strides.


    But after walking for not too long, Li Xie stopped in his tracks because he felt someone following behind him, even though their steps were very, very light.


    Li Xie turned around and looked forward, but did not see a single figure in his surroundings.


    Pow!


    Li Xie turned his head to look, and immediately became happy. It turned out that she was here.


    Li Xie turned and cupped his fists towards her. He was very surprised by her appearance.


    She was Miao Linger, and because she knew what happened at Four Seas Hall Headquarters, she came.


    Miao Linger sized up Li Xie. Li Xie must have exchanged blows with quite a few Martial Cultivator s just now, to the point that the clothes on his body had several blade scars.


    Brother Li, the Emperor does not disappoint the people, I have finally found you! Miao Linger said.


    Are you looking for me? How did you know I was here? Li Xie''s heart was filled with doubts.


    You must know that there is a powerful force behind me. It is not difficult to find out where you are through this force. Miao Linger said indifferently.


    Hearing Miao Linger''s words, Li Xie became even more curious about her true identity.


    I was brought here by that fake Divine Weapon, and how did you come in? Li Xie asked again.


    Miao Linger''s mouth twitched, and then she opened up her right palm, revealing an exquisite boat in the center of her palm.


    This exquisite little boat was naturally no ordinary thing. It already possessed over a thousand years of history.


    The exquisite boat was still spinning on top of Miao Linger''s palm, as though it was in a happy mood.


    Li Xie watched the small boat as it rotated, and his mood improved by a lot.


    It''s called Windwalker, and it brought me here. Miao Linger said.


    "Ugh ¡­" This world was full of wonders. Li Xie sighed.


    Miao Linger nodded her head, this exquisite little boat was one of her master''s many treasures.


    Brother Li, why don''t you have any divine weapons? Could it be fake? Miao Linger asked.


    Yes, that''s right, that Divine Weapon was created using Helian Guan''s Elemental Energy, to let the powers who had thoughts on Divine Weapons kill each other. Li Xie said.


    Miao Linger sucked in a cold breath.


    No wonder the Four Seas Hall was becoming more and more powerful in Helian Guan''s hands. It was not only because of his strength, but also because of his sinister methods.


    I''m afraid he set it up to capture a big fish. Miao Linger said after coming back to her senses.


    Hmm, his first target is Su Cheng, Young Noble Su. Li Xie nodded and said.


    After Miao Linger finished listening to what Li Xie had to say, she did not feel surprised at all.


    Su Cheng''s reputation was great, and his power was strong, many people viewed his as someone who needed to be eliminated as soon as possible.


    Brother Li, let me take you out of here! Miao Linger said with a smile.


    Several hours later, as the night gradually deepened, the town of Scopus fell into a deep slumber.


    In the darkness of the night, the Spring Tian Inn seemed cold and deserted. Ever since they had offended the Four Seas Hall, not many people dared to stay in the Spring Tian Inn.


    This was good too, since Miao Linger did not rely on running Spring Tian Inn to survive.


    After a long night, Li Xie once again arrived at the roof of the Spring Tian Inn.


    Li Xie looked up at the moonlight. At that moment, only the moonlight could calm his heart.


    Li Xie stretched out his hands to touch the moonlight, but the moonlight was very far away from him.


    Li Xie put down his extended hand, and laughed bitterly.


    Crack! Crack! Crack! "Crackle!


    In the blink of an eye, the town of Conch, which had already fallen asleep, was awoken.


    Li Xie looked over there and saw a group of people running towards the Spring Heaven Inn with torches in hand, looking extremely aggressive.


    Li Xie originally thought that he could spend the night in Chuntian Inn in peace, but the heavens did not allow him to do as he pleased.


    The originally dark and gloomy town of Conch was gradually lit up by bright lights.


    However, the townspeople didn''t dare to come out and investigate. They carefully peeked outside through the gap in the door.


    The speed of the group of people rushing into Conch Town was very fast. The citizens of conch town could only see shadows flash past one after another. Only the sound of footsteps reverberated in the air.


    Inside the house, a little kid was trembling with fear as he hid in the arms of an adult. The footsteps outside were really too scary.


    The night in their Tian Hu Town had never been as lively as tonight. It was as if the night sky was about to be torn apart.


    Don''t be afraid, don''t be afraid, the night is about to pass.


    The adults consoled him, though their hearts were uneasy.


    Bang!


    With a tap of his feet, Li Xie instantly descended from the sky and stood in front of Spring Tian Inn''s main entrance.


    "Creak ¡­ Creak ¡­"


    Miao Linger pushed the door and walked out, then quickly walked to Li Xie''s side.

 C59

    She turned her head to the side and glanced at Li Xie, who''s eyes were filled with light.


    From the very first day that Miao Linger met her, she knew Li Xie''s personality.


    Because Li Xie was a Martial Cultivator, a true Martial Cultivator, coming here in times of danger would only make him more at ease!


    Fast! Surround this inn!


    In the blink of an eye, the Martial Cultivator that had rushed into the Tian Hu Town had already surrounded the Spring Heaven Inn.


    They held torches in their hands, ready to burn Spring Heaven Inn to ashes at any moment.


    At this time, a middle aged Martial Cultivator with a goatee walked out from the crowd.


    He stopped and looked at Li Xie, and when he received the news about Li Xie, he immediately took the chance and rushed over.


    He frowned, there was no trace of divine weapons on Li Xie''s body, could it be that Li Xie had already hid all his divine weapons?


    He did not allow anyone to kill Li Xie ahead of him, as he had already treated Li Xie''s head as his own.


    Young Master Li, I have heard of your great name for a long time! The middle aged Martial Cultivator with a goatee spoke coldly.


    Who are you? Li Xie looked at the middle aged Martial Cultivator and asked.


    I''m the Ye Clan''s guard commander, Ye Qing, and also the master of the Ye Clan''s Young Master, Ye Song. The middle aged Martial Cultivator with a goatee raised his head and said.


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth raised, he did not expect the Ye Family''s speed to be so fast.


    Presumably, the surroundings of the Four Seas Hall were already filled with the Ye Family''s eyes and ears. With regards to the divine weapon, the Ye Family was determined to obtain it!


    Ye Qing, are you here for a Divine Weapon? Li Xie asked.


    Of course, only our Ye Family is worthy of having a Godly Weapon! Ye Qing replied confidently.


    Hurry up and leave this place, the Ares-class weapon you want is not here! Miao Linger stared at Ye Qing and said.


    Little girl, you better hurry up and run, or the next one after I wring off Li Xie''s head will be you! Ye Qing narrowed his eyes as he looked at Miao Linger and said.


    Yo, you sure have a big mouth. Is your Ye Family even that fierce? Miao Linger disapproved.


    Humph! So what if he was fierce! Don''t think that just because their Zhong Yuan City is the strongest that their Su Family will be stepped on by our Ye Family sooner or later! The corner of Ye Qing''s mouth twitched as he said.


    Li Xie and Miao Linger looked at each other. They thought that the Ye Family wanted to take all their divine weapons for themselves so that they could use them against the Su Family.


    Su Family and the Ye Family were also one of the nine great families of the East Qin Kingdom, and the grudges between the two families were deep.


    If it were not for Han Jinshan''s existence, perhaps Su Family and the Ye Family would have already been in a fight and both were heavily injured.


    Ye Qing, I really don''t have the Divine Weapon, because it is a fake! Li Xie said.


    Humph! Do you think I''m a three-year-old baby? I won''t believe what you''re saying! Ye Qing chuckled coldly as he replied.


    Li Xie shook his head helplessly, no one believed him these days when he was telling the truth.


    Or perhaps it could be said that the Ye Family had placed all their hopes of defeating the Su Family on the divine weapons.


    If the divine weapons were fake, then all their hopes would be dashed.


    Li Xie turned his back on Ye Qing and walked towards the Spring Heaven Inn.


    Li Xie, you stop right there! If you want to hand over the masterwork weapon, then leave a head on your head! Ye Qing growled with a sullen face.


    Li Xie stopped and looked back. Ye Qing''s eyes were filled with killing intent.


    Bang!


    Ye Qing stomped his feet on the ground and instantly soared into the air, pouncing towards Li Xie''s back.


    Swoosh!


    Ye Qing clenched his right hand, and a sharp mace appeared in his hand.


    Ah!


    Ye Qing smashed the spiked club in his hand towards Li Xie''s head. He was not willing to waste too many Elemental Energy s on Li Xie.


    After seizing the divine weapons, Ye Qing predicted that the road back to the Zhong Yuan City would be filled with dangers, so he had to keep more Elemental Energy as a precaution.


    Just as the Wolf Fanged Mace in Ye Qing''s hand was an inch away from Li Xie''s skull, Li Xie turned to the side and the Wolf Fanged Mace whizzed past.


    Ye Qing was infuriated, he raised his mace and smashed it towards Li Xie''s abdomen.


    With a tap of his feet, Li Xie ascended the ladder to the roof of Spring Tian Inn.


    Ye Qing waved his spiked club and soared into the sky, landing in front of Li Xie.


    Ye Qing raised the corner of his mouth into a cold smile. Recently, the Ye Family had lost quite a bit of face on Li Xie''s body, and he had seized this opportunity to retract them tonight.


    Li Xie, you have nowhere to run! Ye Qing squinted his eyes and said.


    I had no intention of running away. Li Xie replied calmly.


    Humph! Die! As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qing quickly rushed in front of Li Xie.


    The mace whistled back and forth. These past few years, the mace had taken the lives of over a hundred people from Ye Qing.


    Ye Qing''s attacks were like the wind, instantly ruining the roof of the Spring Heaven Inn.


    Ye Qing''s gaze was fixated on Li Xie, not letting go, the Elemental Energy was burning within his body.


    In a flash, Ye Qing appeared behind Li Xie and smashed the mace towards Li Xie''s back.


    In a split-second, Li Xie turned to the side, and the mace once again brushed past his shoulder.


    Under his full force attack, Li Xie was actually still able to easily avoid it.


    Ye Qing suddenly jumped up, and smashed towards Li Xie''s head with the Wolf Teeth Rod clenched tightly in his hands!


    Bang!


    Although Li Xie had unsheathed his sword, and raised the Nine Souls Sword up high, the roof beneath his feet had already collapsed, and he landed on the second floor''s corridor.


    Ye Qing put away the mace and fiercely lowered it again.


    Ye Qing''s entire face was twisted together as he grinned viciously.


    In his eyes, Li Xie was not far from becoming a corpse.


    Li Xie turned around to avoid the mace Ye Qing was swinging at him, and the mace fiercely smashed into the corridor of the second floor of the inn.


    Li Xie jumped down the stairs and arrived at the first floor of the inn, followed by Ye Qing.


    Li Xie, why are you still not summoning your Divine Weapon? Could it be that you want to die a little more miserably? Ye Qing''s mouth twitched as he asked.


    Divine weapons weren''t even in my hands, so how could I possibly summon it out? Li Xie said.


    Humph! Then go to hell! Just as the shout fell, Ye Qing rushed in front of Li Xie.


    Boom!


    Ye Qing injected a wave of Elemental Energy into the Wolf Fanged Mace, and it immediately started to emit fire.


    The Wolf Fanged Mace got closer and closer to Li Xie, and the flames became more and more ferocious.


    He was waiting to see the miserable state of Li Xie''s decapitated body.


    Clang!


    Following a loud explosion, Ye Qing''s attack came to an abrupt halt. He couldn''t even control his steps as he retreated a few steps.


    When Ye Qing steadied his steps, he felt his hand that was holding the mace tremble. He couldn''t control it.


    The Ye Family''s guard commander was only mediocre! Li Xie said with a smile.


    Ah!" Die! Ye Qing waved his mace and rushed towards Li Xie.


    Li Xie quietly looked at Ye Qing, and in his line of sight, Ye Qing''s footsteps were getting slower and slower.


    When Ye Qing pounced in front of Li Xie, he injected all of the Elemental Energy in his body into the Wolf Teeth Rod.


    The mace was raised high in the air by Ye Qing, whose eyes were already red.


    Ye Qing waved the mace towards Li Xie, and the mace emitted flames while biting the air.


    Clang!


    After the loud explosion, Ye Qing staggered backwards, the mace in his hand already flying out.


    Ye Qing wanted to stabilize his feet, but his body was no longer under his command.

 C60

    Ye Qing stared at Li Xie in fear, it was clear that Li Xie had not used his full strength yet.


    At this moment, Ye Qing regretted a lot, but it was meaningless.


    Li Xie suddenly jumped up, and like a black cloud, he shrouded the sky above Ye Qing.


    Ye Qing''s eyes became dimmer and dimmer, and then the spiked mace in his hand also lost its edge.


    Hiss!


    Sword Qi flashed past and cut off Ye Qing''s Martial Veins in an instant.


    Ye Qing fell to the ground in unbearable pain. He struggled non-stop, but a pair of invisible hands had already grabbed onto his throat.


    He could not make a sound, and what made his breathing even more difficult was now.


    Hiss!


    Ye Qing''s eyes were wide open. His throat had already been cut off, and fresh blood was all over the ground. His eyes had also sunk into an endless void.


    When Li Xie kept the Nine Souls Sword, Ye Qing had already died.


    Li Xie turned and glanced at the Martial Cultivator s who were listening to the Ye Family''s orders.


    Run for your life!


    It was unknown who shouted first, but everyone immediately dispersed. No one dared to hesitate a single step.


    The burning torch fell to the ground and was extinguished in a moment.


    The entrance of Chuntian Inn, which was originally overcrowded with people, suddenly became deserted.


    Miao Linger walked quickly to Li Xie''s side as she let out a long sigh of relief.


    Just now, the battle between Li Xie and Ye Qing had moved her heart, and her heart was in turmoil.


    More than half of the Chuntian Inn had been destroyed. Perhaps this was the fate of the Chuntian Inn.


    Of course, Miao Linger did not care about the Spring Heaven Inn.


    Miao Linger turned her face to look at Li Xie. Li Xie''s expression was even more serious than before, and she knew that Li Xie must have thought of something even deeper.


    Soon more forces would come to the town of Spiral, and it seemed that the peace of the town would never come back.


    Several hours later, the day came as scheduled, but the sun did not shine on the ground.


    Li Xie and Miao Linger had already left conch town and left the Spring Tian Inn. They arrived at a tall mountain not far from conch town.


    Li Xie did not want to make the citizens of Conch Town suffer along with him, so he did not continue to stay.


    There were several thatched cottages on the mountain, and it was obvious that they were quite old.


    When Miao Linger arrived at Scopus Town to manage the Spring Tian Inn, when she passed by this tall mountain, she noticed that there were a few thatched cottages here.


    Jumping onto a towering tree at the top of the mountain and looking into the distance, they could see the whole town in front of them.


    Hualala ¡­ Hualala ¡­


    Suddenly, the heavy rain fell down, and Li Xie could only stay in the thatched hut.


    But the roof of the thatched hut was already leaking, and outside the thatched hut there was a downpour, and inside the thatched hut there was a light drizzle.


    Miao Linger originally thought that Li Xie would be upset, but unexpectedly, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.


    This situation wasn''t very bad for Li Xie, because he had once fallen to the bottom of a cliff.


    Watching the torrential rain outside the thatched cottage, Li Xie''s train of thought was immediately precipitated.


    Even if Miao Linger was standing right next to him, he wouldn''t notice it at the first possible moment.


    When the downpour had ended, perhaps the peace of the mountain would be gone.


    Miao Linger walked to the entrance of the thatched cottage and stretched out her right hand, allowing the rainwater to drip onto her palm.


    Miao Linger laughed, she now understood why Li Xie was not frustrated.


    At this moment, a man stood outside the thatched hut with an umbrella.


    This man had travelled thousands of miles just for Li Xie. Even if it was pouring rain, it wouldn''t be able to stop him.


    When Li Xie came back to his senses, the man holding the umbrella bowed to him.


    Li Xie raised his brows, he had seen this man before at the northern courtyard of the Four Seas Hall.


    This man''s status in the Four Seas Hall is not low at all, why would he appear here? For the sake of divine weapons?


    Miao Linger turned and looked at Li Xie. She suddenly felt that Li Xie was about to leave this place immediately.


    Brother Li, I am following hall master''s orders to invite you back to the Four Seas Hall! The man holding the umbrella said.


    Oh, why did your Hall Master invite me to return to the Four Seas Hall? Li Xie asked with interest.


    Currently, all the powers within a radius of a hundred kilometers are frantically searching for your whereabouts. At this very moment, the Four Seas Hall is actually the safest place for you. The man holding the umbrella said.


    Li Xie raised his brows, what the man with the umbrella said did make sense.


    What should I call you? Are you the second or third in command of Four Seas Hall? Li Xie cupped his hands and asked.


    Miao Linger gazed at the man holding the umbrella. It turned out that he was someone from the Four Seas Hall.


    Recently, due to the matter of Divine Weapons, the reputation of Four Seas Hall s rose greatly.


    Brother Li, you have a good memory. I am called Zhang Qiu, the second in command of Four Seas Hall! The man holding the umbrella said with a smile.


    Mn, Brother Zhang, I am willing to follow you back to the Four Seas Hall. Li Xie said.


    When the heavy rain stopped, Li Xie and Zhang Qiu walked towards the Four Seas Hall headquarters together.


    Miao Linger did not accompany them to the Four Seas Hall''s headquarters and instead, returned to Scopus Town.


    In the blink of an eye, it was already the evening of the second day. Li Xie and Zhang Qiu stepped into the Four Seas Hall Headquarters.


    Compared to a few days ago, the current Four Seas Hall headquarters was much calmer.


    Those forces who had been invited to take a look at these divine weapons had all left the Four Seas Hall headquarters without the slightest hesitation.


    The last time he came to Four Seas Hall was in a hurry, and when he left the Four Seas Hall, he was even more hurried. Li Xie didn''t even have the time to appreciate the scenery of the Four Seas Hall.


    The Four Seas Hall headquarters was made up of over a dozen courtyards, and each courtyard was very grand.


    In order to build these courtyards, the Four Seas Hall had expended a great amount of human and material resources; it was enough to let people witness Helian Guan''s ambitions.


    Compared to other unorthodox evil sects, the Four Seas Hall had already formed a unique imposing manner.


    Following Zhang Qiu''s footsteps, Li Xie walked straight towards the living room of Four Seas Hall.


    No matter where Li Xie went, the Four Seas Hall disciples guarding there would use strange eyes to size Li Xie up.


    In the past few days, there had been too many rumors about Li Xie. Some said that Li Xie was a disciple of the Four Seas Hall, some said that he had already died a violent death, and some even said that Li Xie had escaped from the East Qin Kingdom.


    When Li Xie appeared in front of them, many people were secretly shocked.


    What was even more strange was that the Divine Weapon wasn''t on Li Xie''s body, so was the Divine Weapon hidden by him?


    Not long later, Four Seas Hall''s hall appeared in front of Li Xie, causing his to stop in his tracks and take a look inside the hall.


    Aside from the fragrance of the tea and the chairs, the living room of Four Seas Hall seemed empty.


    After accompanying Li Xie to the living room, Zhang Qiu turned around and walked back, his mission had already been completed.


    Whoosh ¡­


    A streak of black smoke rushed into Four Seas Hall''s living room. As the black smoke condensed together, his body then leapt onto the paper.


    After the black smoke had dispersed, the hall master of the Four Seas Hall, Helian Guan, shockingly appeared before Li Xie''s eyes.


    After Helian Guan turned around, he cupped his fists and bowed to Li Xie. He knew that Li Xie would definitely follow Zhang Qiu back to the Four Seas Hall.


    Under Helian Guan''s attentive gaze, Li Xie quickly walked into the living room.


    Li Xie stood in front of Helian Guan and cupped his fists and bowed.


    Helian Guan was the hall master of the famous Four Seas Hall, but in Li Xie''s eyes, he was no different from an ordinary Martial Cultivator.


    Helian Guan flicked his finger towards the teacup, and it immediately flew into his hand.

 C61

    Helian Guan took a sip of the tea and threw it away, allowing the teacup to return to the table.


    With just a wave of his hand, Helian Guan had already thoroughly displayed his identity as the Hall Master of Four Seas Hall.


    Brother Li, your life is really tough, you actually managed to come out of the Forgotten Land alive! Helian Guan sighed.


    So the lush and verdant forest was called the Forgotten Land. Li Xie said.


    Hmm, I originally wanted to make Su Cheng raise the ''Divine Weapon'', but unexpectedly, you actually went ahead and raised the ''Divine Weapon''! Helian Guan raised his eyebrows and said.


    Maybe Su Cheng had already seen through your scheme. The corner of Li Xie''s mouth twitched as he said.


    Yes, maybe so. Those people in the Forgotten Land all wanted to take Su Cheng''s head off, but unfortunately, they were all killed by you. Helian Guan said, his disappointment could already be seen from his tone.


    Li Xie quickly brushed past Helian Guan and sat on a chair not far from him.


    After a long journey, he was a little tired and could just sit on the chair to rest.


    Although this was Helian Guan''s territory, Li Xie did not show the slightest restraint.


    Since Helian Guan had personally sent the Second Leader of the Four Seas Hall, Zhang Qiu, to invite him to the Four Seas Hall, even if he did not ask, Helian Guan would definitely tell him something interesting.


    Helian Guan turned and looked at Li Xie. At this moment, the feeling of Li Xie leaning on the chair felt like he was in Li Mansion.


    Helian Guan secretly laughed, and lamented that Li Xie really didn''t know how high the heavens were and how vast the earth was, he didn''t even realize that he was about to die.


    Brother Li, I feel that your aptitude is no worse than Su Cheng''s, so why don''t you join our Four Seas Hall? With time to spare, I will prepare to pass down the position of the Four Seas Hall''s hall master to you. Helian Guan said solemnly.


    Is that true? Li Xie asked. He was pretending to be interested in the position of Hall Master of the Four Seas Hall.


    Helian Guan laughed to himself once again. He felt that the fish had already hooked onto him.


    Really! Although our Four Seas Hall has never lacked Martial Cultivator, there are very few who have boundless prospects. Helian Guan frowned and said.


    Li Xie immediately stood up, sighing to himself that Helian Guan actually also knew how to say something that went against his heart to trick people.


    Hall Master Helian, you aren''t preparing me to become a pawn in your hands and use me to deal with Su Cheng, are you? Li Xie asked.


    So what if he used it? Only I can help you make a name for yourself in your East Qin Kingdom! Helian Guan clenched his fists and said.


    To become famous? Li Xie said as he looked at Helian Guan.


    Un, isn''t the purpose of living in this world to gain fame and benefits? Helian Guan said.


    Li Xie shook his head, he felt that Helian Guan''s thoughts were too shallow.


    Helian Guan frowned, he did not understand why Li Xie shook his head.


    I''m sorry, Hall Master Helian, I have to go! Li Xie stood up and walked towards the door of the hall with quick steps.


    Helian Guan''s eyes widened, and then, with a swing of his left hand, dozens of Four Seas Hall disciples aggressively rushed out from all directions.


    In the blink of an eye, dozens of Four Seas Hall disciples had blocked the entrance to the living room.


    Even if it was only a small fly, if not for Helian Guan''s instructions, they would not have let it go.


    Li Xie stopped and smiled faintly. He had finally revealed his true face.


    Li Xie turned and looked at Helian Guan. At this moment, Helian Guan''s eyes were incomparably cold.


    The atmosphere in the Four Seas Hall living room suddenly changed. If it was someone else, they might already be at a loss of what to do.


    Li Xie, you''d better not refuse a toast and drink a forfeit! Helian Guan advised.


    I''m sorry, but the thing I hate the most is to be a chess piece in the hands of others. I want to be someone who controls the chessboard. Li Xie said.


    "Ugh ¡­" I didn''t expect you to be so naive at such a young age! Stop daydreaming! Helian Guan''s mouth twitched as he said.


    Hurry up and get all your Four Seas Hall disciples out of the way! Li Xie''s face darkened as he said.


    Impossible! Just as he finished speaking, Helian Guan flung his long sleeve, and a wave of black smoke pounced towards Li Xie.


    In an instant, the black smoke surrounded Li Xie, causing him to feel dizzy.


    Li Xie kept shaking his head, but he could not get rid of the dizziness.


    It was as if he had stepped on cotton; his legs were unable to exert any strength.


    Stop struggling, hurry up and let your tired body rest for a moment!


    Helian Guan''s voice was like a gust of spring wind, instantly causing him to fall.


    Helian Guan laughed coldly. Since Li Xie did not want to become a chess piece in his hands, then he naturally would not let Li Xie continue to live.


    After an unknown amount of time, when Li Xie opened his eyes again, he had thought that he would be in a gloomy and damp dungeon.


    He looked around and noticed that he was probably in a pill refining room.


    It was just that he did not expect the Four Seas Hall to have a pill refining room, and it was very likely that Helian Guan himself concocted the pills every day.


    Squeak squeak...


    Li Xie looked to the side as a cauldron of pills emerged from the ground.


    Flames flew all over the furnace. Even though it was quite a distance away, he could still feel the heat emitted by the furnace.


    There was still water in the furnace and the water was bubbling non-stop. At the same time, the heat was still rolling up and down.


    Li Xie raised his brows, he knew why he had appeared here.


    At this moment, from outside the alchemy room, the sound of footsteps slowly sounded out.


    The owner of the footsteps was definitely not Helian Guan, but when the pill refining room''s door was pushed open, it verified Li Xie''s guess.


    After Zhang Qiu entered the pill refining room, he casually closed the door.


    Zhang Qiu quickly walked in front of Li Xie. Facing Li Xie who was being tied up, Zhang Qiu did not look relaxed at all.


    Zhang Qiu cupped his fists and bowed towards Li Xie, he did not have any intentions to do so.


    Second Leader, you came specially to send me off? Li Xie asked.


    Of course not, I''m here to discuss something with you. Zhang Qiu said.


    Hm? Discuss what? Li Xie raised his eyebrows and said.


    Zhang Qiu took a step forward, and was even closer to Li Xie.


    Just then, Zhang Qiu took out a dagger and stabbed it towards Li Xie''s chest.


    Li Xie was caught off guard. He looked down and saw that the dagger in Zhang Qiu''s hand had already been dyed red with his blood.


    I''m sorry, Brother Li, I have to do this. Zhang Qiu said.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    Zhang Qiu pulled out the dagger. With a flick of his right hand, the dagger disappeared without a trace.


    "Whiz!"


    Zhang Qiu turned to look, to see that Helian Guan was already standing beside him.


    Zhang Qiu bowed towards Helian Guan. Even though he was the second in command of Four Seas Hall, he was still nothing compared to Helian Guan.


    Helian Guan glanced at the wound on Li Xie''s chest, and then looked at the bloodstain on Zhang Qiu''s right hand. He understood what had just happened.


    Helian Guan circled around Li Xie, and at that moment, Li Xie''s face was pale white.


    After smelling the smell of blood, Helian Guan became more and more excited. This was his Four Seas Hall, his territory.


    In his eyes, Li Xie was only an ant, he could just move his pinky to pinch Li Xie to death.


    When Helian Guan stopped in his tracks, his face turned extremely cold.


    Helian Guan glanced at the side of the pill refining furnace, and the heat instantly became even more intense.


    Hall Master Helian, what are you trying to do? Li Xie looked at Helian Guan with a dark expression and asked.

 C62

    Helian Guan raised his eyebrows. He believed that he would soon see a panicked expression on Li Xie''s face.


    Humph! Your talent is not bad, you actually possess a Heavenly Spirit Martial Pulse that is blessed by the heavens, and I only possess an Earth Spiritual Martial Pulse. Helian Guan said.


    You want to throw me into the Alchemy Furnace to refine the Heaven Spiritual Martial Pulse? Li Xie asked.


    Right, you''re quite smart! Helian Guan said with a smile.


    He didn''t expect the infamous Hall Master Helian to be an alchemy expert! Li Xie sighed.


    Helian Guan did not bother with Li Xie, he looked at the furnace and it floated in the air above the pill cultivating room.


    Compared to Helian Guan, the Pill Refining Furnace could not wait to refine Li Xie into a pill.


    To the Pill Refining Furnace, refining Li Xie into a pill was an extremely challenging task.


    Hall Master, after you refine that Li Xie fellow into a medicinal pellet, can you share a few of my pellets? Zhang Qiu said.


    Sure, sure. Helian Guan turned his head and glanced at Zhang Qiu, and said.


    "Whiz!"


    Under the control of Helian Guan''s thoughts, a pair of invisible hands lifted Li Xie up and threw him into the pill furnace.


    Helian Guan laughed coldly, he was waiting to see the heart tearing look on Li Xie''s face.


    In Helian Guan''s eyes, the furnace was like an ocean, while Li Xie was but a drop in the ocean;


    As long as Li Xie refined the pills for the Heaven Spiritual Martial Pulse, Helian Guan would swallow them, and use them to increase his own cultivation in Martial Cultivator even more quickly.


    At that time, Helian Guan believed that he could quickly unify the evil sects!


    How is this possible!?


    Something that surprised Helian Guan happened. The blood that flowed out from Li Xie''s wound was actually able to calm the furnace like water.


    Helian Guan glared. He would never let a cooked duck fly away.


    Helian Guan raised his left hand and pointed. A strand of Elemental Energy congealed into a flame and was thrown into the pill refining furnace.


    And today, no matter what kind of price he had to pay, Helian Guan wanted to turn Li Xie into a real medicinal pellet.


    Bang!


    Li Xie pushed his arms outwards, causing the pill furnace to instantly fall apart.


    Helian Guan and Zhang Qiu retreated quickly, and the shattered pill furnaces flew everywhere.


    In the blink of an eye, the pill refining room that was originally dazzling in gold and jade was in a miserable state.


    When the shattered pill concocting furnace fell to the ground, Li Xie was already standing in front of Helian Guan.


    Helian Guan gasped, he was sighing to himself that the Pill Refining Furnace was actually useless against Li Xie.


    A few days ago, Helian Guan had even used a furnace to transform a ferocious Strange Beast into a pill.


    The corner of Helian Guan''s mouth twitched. Even so, he did not think that Li Xie could escape his Five Fingers Mountain.


    Helian Guan looked at Zhang Qiu, who immediately bowed and retreated.


    At this point, Helian Guan already had the excitement of personally killing Li Xie.


    After Li Xie was killed, Helian Guan was prepared to hang his head at the entrance of Four Seas Hall Headquarters for his disciples to admire.


    Li Xie activated all the Elemental Energy in his body, and the wound caused by the dagger just now quickly healed.


    Swoosh!


    Li Xie unsheathed his sword, since Helian Guan''s fighting spirit was strong, he could not fall behind.


    Facing the renowned Hall Master of Four Seas Hall, Helian Guan''s Nine Souls Sword was just as excited.


    Courting death!


    With that said, Helian Guan''s right hand summoned a blade that he held tightly in his hand, and pounced towards Li Xie.


    The blade tip whistled, causing the blood in Helian Guan''s body to boil.


    It had already been a while since Helian Guan had fought personally, and he was looking forward to taking Li Xie''s head off within a few moves.


    Although Li Xie had held onto the Divine Weapon a few days ago, Helian Guan did not think that Li Xie could hold on for that long in his hands.


    Helian Guan''s attacks were like the wind, causing all the tables and chairs in the pill refining room to fall apart.


    Li Xie retreated step by step, and he was only a sliver away from the corner of the wall.


    Helian Guan saw all of these, and was unable to predict what would happen.


    With a tap of his feet, Helian Guan instantly rose into the air and slashed his blade towards Li Xie.


    Helian Guan threw a strong wave of Elemental Energy into the blade in his hand, causing the blade edge to become even colder.


    Clang!


    Helian Guan raised his brows, and the fatal strike that he had thrown at Li Xie actually missed.


    Li Xie appeared behind Helian Guan in a flash, and stabbed his sword towards Helian Guan''s back.


    The corner of Helian Guan''s mouth twitched, and he instantly escaped underground. When he appeared again, he was already circling above Li Xie.


    Li Xie raised his head to look, only to see Helian Guan brandishing his blade and descending from the sky.


    The blade tore through the air, emitting a sound that made one''s head hurt.


    Li Xie raised the Nine Souls Sword in his hand up, but unexpectedly, Helian Guan turned around and went to his side, raised his leg and kicked his chest.


    Bang!


    After Li Xie landed, the entire pill refining room shook a few times.


    Helian Guan''s heels were firmly on the ground, he raised his blade and walked towards Li Xie.


    He could hear Li Xie''s hurried breathing. He was sure that there were not many Elemental Energy left in Li Xie''s body.


    He was already thinking how he should torture Li Xie. This was the way to feel good!


    Bang!


    Li Xie rose up with the Nine Souls Sword in his hand. Facing Helian Guan''s cold eyes, he was not afraid in the slightest.


    "Whiz!"


    Helian Guan waved his blade and walked past Li Xie''s side, he was as fast as lightning, and when Li Xie came back to his senses, his right arm was already injured by the blade.


    Fresh blood flowed down along Li Xie''s right arm and stained the ground beneath his feet red.


    Once again, Helian Guan''s figure flashed and appeared in front of Li Xie.


    Li Xie, if you kowtow and beg for mercy now, perhaps I will let you die a little faster. You are too weak, even if there are more than ten of you working together to deal with me, I won''t even bat an eye. The corner of Helian Guan''s mouth twitched as he said.


    Li Xie laughed coldly, and Helian Guan''s words immediately infuriated him.


    Helian Guan raised his brows, he actually saw flames that still burned aggressively in Li Xie''s eyes.


    Go to hell!


    Following Helian Guan''s explosive shout, the murderous aura in the pill refining room started to boil.


    Helian Guan leaped up, and rushed towards Li Xie like a fierce tiger leaving the mountain.


    Boom ¡­


    Li Xie was sent flying along with the Nine Souls Sword in his hands. After he landed, the tables and chairs beside him had all been turned into ashes.


    Helian Guan walked closer and closer to Li Xie. At this moment, he actually hoped that Li Xie could persevere for a bit longer, because he had not played enough.


    When Helian Guan walked to Li Xie''s side, Li Xie stood up shakily.


    Helian Guan shot Li Xie a cold smile. He was laughing at how pitiful Li Xie was.


    Suddenly, Helian Guan glared again, and slashed towards Li Xie''s neck.


    The blade howled like a pack of wolves howling on top of a hill, the sound was terrifying!


    In that moment of life and death, the Purple Radiant Primordial Fire in Li Xie''s body opened its eyes.


    Boom!


    Suddenly, Helian Guan''s eyes went blank, which immediately made his heart jump.


    Helian Guan immediately retracted the blade aimed at Li Xie''s neck, and quickly retreated.


    In Helian Guan''s ears, the Sword Qi was roaring, like a raging river!


    Helian Guan panicked, he waved the blade in his hand around.


    Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!


    One after another of Sword Qi s broke through the obstruction of the blade and landed on Helian Guan''s body. The originally uninjured Helian Guan''s entire body was instantly injured.


    Ah!


    Helian Guan roared out, and poured the Elemental Energy out of his body.


    Bang! Bang!

 C63

    In an instant, the Sword Qi that was flying towards Helian Guan turned into ashes.


    But the panic and panic in Helian Guan''s heart could no longer be dispelled. He almost forgot that the ground under his feet was his territory''s Four Seas Hall!


    At this moment, Helian Guan''s eyes could already clearly see his surroundings.


    Li Xie was standing ten steps away from him. His eyes were firm like fire, enough to destroy everything here.


    Helian Guan gasped, his right hand that was tightly holding onto the blade had become numb.


    The corner of Helian Guan''s mouth twitched. Just as he was about to charge towards Li Xie again, the wound on his chest made his attack disappear.


    He lowered his head to look, his chest had long been injured beyond recognition by the Sword Qi.


    Just then, Helian Guan felt dizzy and couldn''t even stand steadily.


    Waves of flustered and powerless emotions surged in his heart, completely causing Helian Guan to become a huge tree that was about to reach the sky.


    Hall Master, what''s wrong?


    Second Leader, quickly help me up!


    In the blink of an eye, Zhang Qiu quickly ran to Helian Guan''s side and extended his hands to support the crumbling Helian Guan.


    He had never seen Helian Guan in such a state before, and the usual Helian Guan had an expression that covered the sky with one hand.


    Helian Guan clenched his teeth as he stared at Li Xie, but his eyes were already pale and powerless.


    Humph! Li Xie, you won''t be able to escape the Four Seas Hall! Helian Guan coldly said with a bluff.


    Li Xie calmly stared at Helian Guan as if he was looking at a corpse.


    Second Leader, quickly help me kill Li Xie! Helian Guan was enraged, he turned his face to look at Zhang Qiu and said.


    Unexpectedly, Zhang Qiu was indifferent, and instead rolled his eyes at Helian Guan.


    I am the hall master, are you disobeying my orders? Helian Guan stared at Zhang Qiu and said.


    You might not be the hall master of Four Seas Hall now. Zhang Qiu said calmly.


    Hm? Are you trying to rebel? Helian Guan squinted his eyes and asked.


    Swoosh!


    Helian Guan opened his eyes wide and looked down. Zhang Qiu had already pierced his heart.


    Zhang Qiu''s right hand trembled, and a wave of Elemental Energy rushed into Helian Guan''s body violently.


    In a split second, Helian Guan''s five senses were twisted together, his body was already in tatters!


    Bang!


    Helian Guan flew out, and when he landed, his eyes were already devoid of light.


    Zhang Qiu quickly walked to Helian Guan''s side and bent down to pull out the dagger that was stabbed into Helian Guan''s heart with all his might.


    When Zhang Qiu allowed the dagger to disappear without a trace, he stepped on Helian Guan''s corpse.


    Normally, Helian Guan had maintained his status of a hall master and his extremely high cultivation realm, but Zhang Qiu had always treated him like a horse. Zhang Qiu had long since been unable to endure this.


    This was a once in a lifetime opportunity, so of course Zhang Qiu would not let him miss it.


    Zhang Qiu turned and walked quickly towards Li Xie, bowing down to thank him.


    Just now, when Zhang Qiu stabbed his dagger into Li Xie''s chest, he had only used thirty percent of his strength.


    Brother Li, you really did not disappoint me. Zhang Qiu praised.


    I was just lucky. Li Xie placed the Nine Souls Sword into the sword sheath.


    Several hours later, the news of Hall Master going berserk and killing both divine weapons had spread throughout the entire continent of the East Qin Kingdom.


    Following that, the Four Seas Hall underwent a series of upheavals. After Zhang Qiu killed Bo Chao, he smoothly became the new Hall Master of the Four Seas Hall.


    The expansion of Four Seas Hall also came to an abrupt end.


    By the time Li Xie had returned to the Zhong Yuan City, it was already the evening of the third day.


    The moment Li Xie stepped into the Zhong Yuan City, Young Noble Su and Su Cheng immediately received the news.


    Su Cheng immediately sent people to invite Li Xie into the Su Mansion, and offered him some warm welcome.


    In the living room of Su Mansion, Su Cheng sized Li Xie up from head to toe. When he found out that Li Xie had gone to the Four Seas Hall Headquarters with Helian Guan, he thought that Li Xie did not have much luck.


    Unexpectedly, Helian Guan''s cultivation went berserk and even died together with his Divine Weapons, he was truly caught off guard.


    Although Su Cheng felt that it was a pity, after all, godly weapons were hard to come by.


    But Divine Weapons did understand Helian Guan''s life, and this could be considered as a good thing.


    Right now, Helian Guan was already dead. His Four Seas Hall could not lift up any waves at all, and he could remain quiet for a period of time within the circumference of fifty kilometers.


    Li Xie cupped his hands in salute towards Su Cheng. The purpose of his return to the Zhong Yuan City was precisely for Su Cheng.


    As the number one young master of the nine great families of East Qin Kingdom, Li Xie was sure that Su Cheng''s talent was in no way inferior to his.


    Su Cheng stretched out his left hand and patted Li Xie''s shoulder. It looked as if he was trying to get closer to Li Xie, but in reality, he was just trying to test out how Li Xie''s injuries were.


    As expected, even though Li Xie had returned alive from Four Seas Hall''s headquarters, he was heavily injured and unable to completely recover for a short period of time.


    Brother Li, you should stay in the Su Mansion to recuperate from your injuries in the next few days! Su Cheng said.


    Well, that''s exactly what I mean. Li Xie replied.


    Last time at the Spring Tian Inn in Conch Town, Li Xie told Ye Qing to come here and never return, so Ye Xuankai would definitely not let this matter rest.


    Li Xie did not want to continue tangling with the Ye Family. Su Mansion was the safest place.


    Moreover, Li Xie wanted to understand Su Cheng more than necessary to get into the Su Mansion.


    Brother Li, I wonder if you have any news about Lady Miao? Su Cheng asked, his tone becoming much gentler.


    I had seen Miaomiao a few days ago in the town of Spinoza, and now I didn''t know where she was. Li Xie said.


    Un, Lady Miao is quite mysterious. I have sent many spies to investigate her background, but they were all unable to find anything. Su Cheng said.


    Four hours later, half of the Zhong Yuan City had fallen asleep.


    The Zhong Yuan City was still brightly lit, but Su Cheng was pacing back and forth in the garden of the Su Mansion''s backyard.


    As Su Cheng grew older, he actually liked to hide his worries more and more deeply in his heart.


    Regardless of whether it was his father Su Ding or his close relatives, he was unwilling to speak.


    Su Cheng stopped and looked up at the moonlight. At this moment, he thought back to the night at Conch Town.


    That night, when Miao Linger took off her veil, it was as if Su Cheng had seen the stars in the sky.


    Thinking of this, the corners of Su Cheng''s mouth brimmed with a genuine smile.


    Even though he was the number one young master of the nine great families in East Qin Kingdom, he might not always be truly happy.


    Whoosh ¡­


    Suddenly, a beautiful figure floated in front of Su Cheng like a cool breeze.


    Su Cheng was immediately overjoyed. Even though he had only seen that beautiful image a few times, he had already delved deep into his mind a long time ago.


    When the beautiful figure slowly landed on the ground, the fragrance in the garden was swaying along with the wind.


    Su Cheng originally wanted to quickly walk to her side, but he controlled his emotions.


    Separated by a dozen or so steps, the beautiful figure turned around and slightly bent her knees towards Su Cheng.


    Su Cheng smiled naturally, and as expected, she really did come. She was wearing a veil just like when he was in Scopus Town.


    Prince Su, we haven''t seen each other for a while. Do you still remember me? Miao Linger asked softly.


    Of course, you''re the most special woman I''ve ever met. Su Cheng said.


    After Miao Linger finished listening to what Su Cheng had to say, his face revealed a look of shame.


    As the number one young master of the East Qin Kingdom''s nine great families, it was not easy to get his praise.


    Young Noble Su, you seem to have something on your mind, can you tell me? Miao Linger said.


    Su Cheng nodded, and then quickly walked to Miao Linger''s side.


    Miao Linger''s expression was very sincere, and this made it impossible for Su Cheng to find any reason to reject him.


    Su Cheng turned his face to look at Miao Linger, all the worry in his heart had been completely wiped away.

 C64

    Miao Linger''s sudden appearance was like a light summer breeze to him.


    He had a bellyful of words that he didn''t know to say to anyone, but he felt that Miao Linger was very suitable.


    It was a pity that the masterwork weapon had been destroyed. Su Cheng said after coming back to his senses.


    After Miao Linger finished listening to what Su Cheng had to say, she could not help but laugh.


    Miao Linger''s smile entered Su Cheng''s eyes, he was very curious as to why Miao Linger was laughing.


    Did she guess his true thoughts? Su Cheng felt that it was definitely impossible.


    Young Master Su, I can tell you with certainty that the ''Divine Weapon'' that will perish together with Helian Guan is not a true Divine Weapon. Miao Linger said.


    Miao Linger''s words made Su Cheng full of energy, and her eyes lit up.


    Su Cheng did not ask Miao Linger why he was so sure, and when Miao Linger said it, he immediately believed it.


    Although he had only met Miao Linger a few times, Su Cheng felt that he had already known Miao Linger for a long time.


    That''s great, the Ares-class weapons shouldn''t be wasted. Su Cheng sighed.


    Young Noble Su, do you want to know where the divine weapons are? Miao Linger asked.


    Of course I want to know. Lady Miao, don''t keep us in suspense! Su Cheng said.


    Miao Linger walked forward step by step and slowly followed beside him.


    At this moment, Su Cheng seemed to have seen a colorful world within Miao Linger''s eyes.


    Su Cheng really wanted to participate in this world, but at the moment, he could only stand at the door and pace back and forth.


    As for how long he would have to wander around, he was not sure either. Miao Linger was the first woman that she couldn''t figure out.


    Young Noble Su, to tell you the truth, my master is extremely well-connected in the East Qin Kingdom, he knows more than I do, the old man told me this information. Miao Linger glanced at Su Cheng and said.


    Oh, looks like Lady Miaomiao''s master is a big shot! Su Cheng sighed.


    Hmm, is that so? Master told me that in the northwest and northeast parts of Zhong Yuan City, there are two very faintly discernible auras. Most likely, divine weapons are located there. Miao Linger said.


    Su Cheng''s footsteps came to a halt, as he fell into deep thought.


    The northwest side of Zhong Yuan City was Eastwood Town, while the northeast side of Zhong Yuan City was the Spirit Wind Mountain Range.


    These two places were both unfamiliar and familiar to Su Family.


    Miao Linger stopped and looked at him, this was the first time she saw Su Cheng being so serious.


    Just as her master had said, Su Cheng cared a lot about Divine Weapons, even more than the Ye Family.


    To Su Cheng, although he was extremely talented, none of his weapons were worthy of him. It was truly a headache for him.


    With the Divine Weapons in front of him, with Su Cheng''s personality, there was no way he could let himself miss out on them.


    Lady Miao, thank you so much for this time. Su Cheng thanked Miao Linger with a bow.


    Cough, I''m telling this to you because you don''t know if it''s right or wrong. Miao Linger frowned.


    Lady Miao, why do you think that? Su Cheng frowned and asked.


    As long as the divine weapon remained in the mortal world, this matter would sooner or later spread to both the north and south of East Qin Kingdom. At that time, many powers would come to fight for it. Miao Linger said.


    After Su Cheng finished listening to what Miao Linger had to say, the corner of her mouth lifted up unconsciously. He felt that Miao Linger was worried for his safety.


    It doesn''t matter, I have already treated the Divine Weapon as my trump card. No matter how many powers come to fight for it, I don''t care. Su Cheng said.


    Su Cheng''s words were filled with arrogance, under his low-key appearance, he actually had an extremely strong self-confidence.


    In the blink of an eye, dawn had arrived and the atmosphere in the sky above the Zhong Yuan City had turned dark.


    Su Cheng told Li Xie what he had heard from Miao Linger last night. Just like Su Cheng, Li Xie was also instantly brimming with energy.


    If he really found a Divine Weapon, Li Xie would test whether the Nine Souls Sword in his hands were powerful or if the Divine Weapon was powerful.


    That night, the words that Old Daoist Suifeng had purposely said to Li Xie echoed in Li Xie''s ears.


    In Su Mansion''s study, Li Xie was discussing with Su Cheng who would go to Eastwood Town and who would go to the Spirit Wind Mountain Range.


    Li Xie knew very little about Zhong Yuan City, and as for Eastwood Town and the Spirit Wind Mountain Range, he knew nothing about them.


    But Su Cheng was different, so Li Xie wanted to hear what decision he made.


    Brother Li, how about I go to the Spirit Wind Mountain Range and you go to Eastwood Town? Su Cheng said as he looked at Li Xie.


    No way! Young Noble Su, the Spirit Wind Mountain Range is too complicated. You better think twice! Guan Ang, who was standing by the side, advised.


    Su Cheng glared at Guan Ang, and Guan Ang immediately lowered his head to avoid Su Cheng''s gaze.


    Commander Guan, is the Spirit Wind Mountain Range really that complicated? Li Xie gazed at Guan Ang and asked.


    Guan Ang glanced at Su Cheng, pouted his lips, and in the end, stopped himself from speaking.


    Brother Li, don''t listen to the Commander''s nonsense. The Spirit Wind Mountain Range is only an ordinary place, it isn''t too complicated. Su Cheng said.


    Oh, since that''s the case, how about this? Young Noble Su, you enter Eastwood Town while I go to the Spirit Wind Mountain Range. Li Xie raised his eyebrows and said.


    That''s not right, right? Su Cheng said, his tone now extremely conflicted.


    No matter, the Spirit Wind Mountain sounds more interesting than Eastwood Town, so I like to go to interesting places. Li Xie said with a smile.


    Brother Li, you are truly different from the masses! Su Cheng could not help but exclaim.


    Young Noble Su, compared to you, I am only an ordinary Martial Cultivator. Li Xie said.


    Brother Li, don''t call me Young Noble Su, just call me Su Cheng or Brother Su. Su Cheng frowned and said.


    All right, Brother Su. Li Xie said.


    As he watched Li Xie walk out of the study, all sorts of feelings rose up in Su Cheng''s heart.


    After this farewell, it was unknown when they would meet again.


    Li Xie walked very fast, without the slightest hesitation. Not long after, he had already walked out of the Su Mansion''s main entrance.


    Su Cheng kept his thoughts and gaze, and then looked at Guan Ang.


    At this moment, Guan Ang still kept his head down, not daring to say a single word.


    If not for Su Cheng''s order, Guan Ang would have turned himself into a mute.


    Commander, you must immediately tell our men to protect Li Xie well in the shadows. Su Cheng said solemnly.


    Young Noble Su, Li Xie is just an outsider. Guan Ang frowned and said.


    Commander Guan, aren''t you talking too much today? Su Cheng looked at Guan Ang and said.


    Yes! Young Master Su! I''ll do what you want me to do now. Guan Ang left the study as soon as he finished his sentence.


    Su Cheng let out a long breath, and then he gently raised the corner of his mouth.


    Several hours later, it was already evening. Although Li Xie had traveled for an entire day, he was still a distance away from the Spirit Wind Mountain Range.


    Li Xie continued to move forward, not far from a small village.


    Li Xie unconsciously quickened his pace, heading straight for the small village.


    After a while, when Li Xie was walking on the streets of the small village, he realized that although the small village had all five organs.


    In the small village, other than the snack bar, there were also inns, and the business was quite good.


    After Li Xie entered the small village''s inn, he first chose a room, and then ate dinner on the first floor.


    Li Xie looked around, a lot of the guests in the tavern were all Martial Cultivator, could it be that they were all here for the Spirit Wind Mountain Range?

 C65

    From the looks of it, the fact that the divine weapon was still in the mortal world was already known to many powers. Naturally, they would not choose to stand idly by the side and watch.


    This way was also good, so as to not be unable to find any more fun on the way.


    It was just that up to this point, Li Xie still did not know what kind of place the Spirit Wind Mountain Range was.


    As the night fell, the inn became the most lively for a period of time.


    At this time, two drunk men walked to Li Xie''s side.


    Seeing that Li Xie was alone, they sat on the chairs beside him.


    Just now, they were already observing Li Xie while they were drinking. After observing him for a while, they decided to come over to chat with Li Xie.


    They placed the wine jugs to the side and sized Li Xie up once again.


    A sword was tied to Li Xie''s back. With a glance, one could tell that it was a Martial Cultivator, and a young one at that.


    Li Xie ignored them, he even thought that they were empty air.


    Hey! Little brother, who do you think is stronger between him and me? The fierce-looking man patted Li Xie''s shoulder and asked.


    Li Xie glanced at the fierce-looking man, and then turned to look at the skinny man.


    It must be me! Anyone with eyes would think so! The skinny man said as he slammed the table.


    Come on, with your thin and weak body, I can knock down at least three people with a single punch! The fierce-looking man said with a smile.


    Li Xie shook his head helplessly, it seemed like he would not be able to pass the night peacefully.


    Hey, from your tone, are you planning to fight me? The skinny man asked.


    Are you going to ask if that proves you''re scared? The fierce-looking man asked.


    The skinny man stared at the fierce-looking man, and then his gaze landed on Li Xie.


    Young man, we argued so fiercely, why didn''t you react at all? The skinny man asked.


    I just want to spend the night here in peace. Li Xie frowned and said.


    The skinny man and the fierce-looking man exchanged a glance, then both of them revealed a smile.


    Ever since they arrived at this small village, they had been prepared for a sleepless night. The night was long, and their spirits were at their peak.


    Young man, why don''t you guess if I''m strong or he is. If you don''t, then don''t even think about taking a good rest tonight. The fierce-looking man looked at Li Xie and said.


    Li Xie''s face turned ugly, no matter who he guessed to be powerful, they would not meet a good end.


    These two people were clearly here to have fun with him. Since they could no longer avoid him, they would do their best to keep him company until the end.


    Since tonight was going to be wasted on them, they must suffer a little.


    The both of you look pretty impressive, why don''t you go out and compete with each other? Li Xie said with a worried expression.


    Kid, are you trying to cheat me? The skinny man''s expression darkened as he said.


    I don''t dare to say it, I really don''t know what to say! Li Xie quickly explained.


    The skinny man rolled his eyes as he thought of a brilliant idea.


    Humph! How about the two of us give this kid a punch each? Whoever''s punch can make him hurt more, then that person will be even worse. The skinny man looked at the fierce-looking man as he spoke.


    Un, this method is very good! The fierce-looking man cheered in jubilation.


    At this time, no matter if it was the skinny man or the fierce-looking man, they were staring straight at Li Xie.


    In their eyes, Li Xie was just like a piece of thin meat, but they were actually wolves!


    Brothers, don''t be rash! Li Xie said, his voice was panicked.


    Humph! It was too late to say anything now! The skinny man''s mouth twitched as he said.


    Ha! Take a punch of mine first! Just as he said that, the fierce-looking man threw a punch towards Li Xie''s chest.


    Li Xie stood up and quickly retreated, avoiding the man with a fierce face who swung his fist at him.


    The fierce-looking man and the skinny man stood up one after the other, glaring at Li Xie!


    Brat, you actually dare to dodge. It seems like I''ll have to tear open your skin! The fierce-looking man said viciously.


    Li Xie frowned, at this moment, the two men in front of him looked extremely similar to two ferocious Strange Beast s.


    Brother, let me show him some colors first! The fierce-looking man said.


    Un, be a bit faster. You better not let anyone else make a joke out of you! The skinny man nodded and said.


    The fierce-looking man''s mouth twitched, and he laughed sinisterly as he rushed towards Li Xie.


    The fierce-looking man instantly appeared in front of Li Xie like a gale of wind.


    His fists were like a fierce tiger descending the mountain. The fierce-looking man already narrowed his eyes, but he still couldn''t stop the ominous glint from being released.


    With the help of the wine, the fierce-looking man felt like he was omnipotent!


    Hiss!


    The fierce-looking man turned pale with fright. His attack was actually dodged by Li Xie.


    Li Xie''s figure flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he reached out his hands to grab onto the fierce-looking man''s body, and threw him out as if he was holding up a piece of cloth.


    The fierce-looking man had a look of shock on his face as his mind went blank!


    Bang!


    As the fierce-looking man fell to the ground, the table behind him had already been broken into pieces, and the wine jugs and dishes were scattered all over the place.


    The fierce-looking man staggered to his feet. He tried his best to calm down, and then he looked at the skinny man. He saw the burning anger.


    Stinking brat! Your time of death has come! The skinny man roared, summoning a blade with his hand, he rushed towards Li Xie.


    The scrawny man''s saber tore through the air, emitting sparks after sparks.


    As the skinny man swung his blade with all his might, the blade edge got closer and closer to Li Xie''s neck.


    The skinny man laughed coldly, as if he could already see the tragic sight of Li Xie''s head landing on the ground.


    Ah!


    Following a miserable scream that reverberated above the inn, the skinny man fell to the ground with the knife in his hand.


    The fierce-looking man quickly ran to the skinny man''s side and supported him up.


    Li Xie''s attack just now was too fast, and by the time the skinny man managed to react, he was already defeated.


    Li Xie smiled at them, causing their bodies to tremble and their eyes to flicker.


    A few hours later, the night in the small village quietly passed.


    Early in the morning, Li Xie left after finishing his dinner at the inn.


    Today was slightly different from yesterday. There were two more people by his side, the skinny man from last night and the man with the fierce-looking face.


    Actually, their destination was also the Spirit Wind Mountain Range, which was coincidentally the same road as Li Xie''s.


    The skinny man''s name was Wang Dong, and the fierce-looking man''s name was Wang Xi. The two of them were true brothers.


    Wang Dong and Wang Xi seemed to have become different people as they both called Li Xie Young Master Li, wanting to acknowledge him as their master.

 C66

    Li Xie did not chase them away, he only wanted to get to know more about the Spirit Wind Mountain Range.


    They were people around the Zhong Yuan City, so they had some understanding of the Spirit Wind Mountain Range.


    As for whether or not they had other intentions, Li Xie had already become cautious.


    Young Master Li, if we want to enter the Spirit Wind Mountain Range, we have to find a key to open the iron gate first. Wang Xi said.


    Hm? Could it be that there was a metal gate blocking the way at the foot of the Spirit Wind Mountain Range? Li Xie asked with interest.


    Wang Xi nodded. This iron gate was a few thousand meters long and could block all the paths to the Spirit Wind Mountain Range.


    Sigh, Wang Xi and I once went to find the key to the iron gate of the Spirit Wind Mountain Range, but we always came back empty-handed. Wang Dong sighed and said.


    I heard that the Spirit Wind Mountain area is very complicated. Li Xie said.


    That''s right, the Spirit Wind Mountain range was indeed very complicated. Who knew how many corpses were buried in the ground at the foot of the Spirit Wind Mountain range! At this moment, there was a trace of terror in his eyes.


    Li Xie''s mouth raised, he felt that his decision to come to the Spirit Wind Mountain Range was the right one.


    He was a true Martial Cultivator, and facing such a dangerous place, the more excited he got.


    Big brother, let''s not talk about him anymore. Even I''m a bit scared now. Wang Xi tremblingly said.


    Wang Dong glared at Wang Xi, who immediately turned his gaze elsewhere.


    Li Xie glanced at Wang Dong and Wang Xi from the corner of his eyes, sighing to himself about how interesting the two of them were.


    If it wasn''t for the two of them, the journey to the Spirit Wind Mountain Range would have become very boring.


    Gradually, Li Xie had accepted Wang Xi and Wang Dong to stay by his side.


    At the same time, Wang Dong and Wang Xi also appeared to be willing to follow Li Xie, trying to follow him to the Spirit Wind Mountain Range.


    With regards to the Spirit Wind Mountain Range, Li Xie''s expectations for the mountain range became stronger and stronger. Unknowingly, his pace sped up a lot.


    Wang Dong and Wang Xi quickly followed, afraid that they would be left far behind by Li Xie.


    In the blink of an eye, it was already noon. Spirit Wind Mountain was still not far away.


    Li Xie stopped and surveyed his surroundings. There was a simple teahouse in the north-east. The fragrance of the tea was dancing in the wind.


    In this wilderness, there was actually a teahouse. This teahouse must not be simple.


    As a result, Li Xie strode towards the teahouse.


    Not long later, Li Xie and the rest sat in their empty seats in the teahouse.


    The teahouse was small. Other than Li Xie and the rest, there were no other guests.


    The owner of the teahouse was a white-haired old man. Under his orders, the waiter placed the best tea in their teahouse in front of Li Xie and the rest.


    The waiter bowed and left, not saying a single word.


    The fragrance of the tea swayed along with the breeze, like a distant and ancient melody. It was very simple, but it made one feel relaxed and happy.


    Li Xie picked up the teacup and sipped the tea, immediately feeling refreshed.


    During the long journey, it was very pleasant to be able to sit down quietly and take a sip of tea.


    When the tea shop owner saw all of this, he was overjoyed in his heart.


    After finishing the tea, Li Xie''s attention once again fell on the tea shop manager.


    Li Xie felt that the owner of the teahouse was not someone simple. Maybe he was related to the Spirit Wind Mountain Range.


    Thus, Li Xie stood up and quickly walked to the front of the tea shop owner and cupped his fists and bowed to him.


    The owner of the teahouse stroked his long beard and smiled, as if he had seen through Li Xie''s thoughts.


    He had been running the teahouse here for some time, and he had seen all kinds of people.


    Little brother, if you have anything to say, just say it! The owner of the teahouse said slowly.


    Yes, I wonder if you know where the key to opening the iron gate of the Spirit Wind Mountain Range will be? Li Xie went straight to the point.


    After the owner of the teahouse heard what Li Xie had to say, he frowned. He did indeed know a little about the Spirit Wind Mountain Range.


    Little brother, I advise you to return home. The key to open the iron gates of the Spirit Wind Mountain Range is guarded by two ferocious Strange Beast. It would be difficult for you to even get close to them. The owner said.


    After Li Xie heard what the owner of the teahouse had to say, his eyebrows raised up in joy. All of these were seen by the owner of the teahouse.


    The owner of the tea house revealed an expression of surprise, this young Martial Cultivator was actually not afraid of the ferocious Strange Beast.


    Shopkeeper, thank you. No matter how fierce those two Strange Beast are, I must know them! Li Xie said firmly.


    Sigh, he didn''t listen to the words of the old man, he was at a disadvantage! The owner of the teahouse sighed.


    Shopkeeper, where are the two ferocious Strange Beast that were guarding the gate to the Spirit Wind Mountain Range? Li Xie asked in anticipation.


    They were in the southeast of the teahouse, where there was a bright peak, and a bright hole in the peak. The owner said.


    Oh, Manager, I have a question for you, I don''t know if I should ask it. Li Xie was a little hesitant.


    You must want to know why I know so much. It''s because I''ve been running the teahouse here for a while and I''ve only seen one person who escaped with half his life. The owner said.


    Wang Dong and Wang Xi, who were standing not too far away, exchanged a look.


    This was because they could tell that the owner of the teahouse had only spoken half of his sentence.


    The owner of the teahouse looked at Li Xie with a gaze filled with pity, as though this was their first time meeting, and also their last.


    Thank you for your guidance, shopkeeper! Li Xie thanked the owner of the teahouse.


    No need to thank me. I don''t know if I''m right or wrong to say so much to you. The owner said.


    Goodbye! With that said, Li Xie turned and quickly walked out of the teahouse.


    Not long after, Li Xie and the rest arrived at the Kong Ming Peak located at the south-east side of the teahouse.


    Although the sun was still high in the sky, a chilly wind was blowing on the top of the Kongming Peak.


    Li Xie looked at Wang Dong and Wang Xi, the expression on their faces somewhat heavy.


    However, Wang Dong and Wang Xi quickly straightened up and put on an indifferent expression.


    They didn''t want to lose their face in front of Li Xie, so they needed to strengthen their courage even more.


    Li Xie retracted his gaze, and took the opportunity to look into the hole.


    It was pitch black inside the cave. He looked around but could not see anything clearly.


    The bright cave was very quiet, and one could not smell even a trace of the beast''s scent.


    You guys just wait outside the cave! Before he finished his sentence, Li Xie rushed into the hole.


    Wait for us!


    "Whiz!"


    Wang Dong and Wang Xi had just reached the mouth of the cave when a spiderweb appeared out of nowhere and blocked their path.


    No matter how hard they punched or kicked, the spiderweb wouldn''t budge.


    At that moment, the spiderweb released a plume of black smoke from the inside. In an instant, Wang Dong and Wang Xi fainted and fell into a dream.


    In the hole, Li Xie held onto the Nine Souls Sword and walked forward quickly.


    He did not want to spend too much time inside the cave. He had to find the key to the iron gate of the Spirit Wind Mountain Range as soon as possible.


    The bright cave was very wide, it was out of Li Xie''s imagination, as if they had arrived at the backyard of a large family.


    The roof of the cave was transparent as sunlight sprinkled onto the ground.


    After walking for an unknown amount of time, the figure of the ferocious Strange Beast was still nowhere to be seen.


    Li Xie did not let his guard down just because of this, instead, he increased his vigilance.

 C67

    Li Xie pricked up his ears and listened attentively, but he could still only hear his own footsteps.


    He hoped that the two ferocious Strange Beast would appear soon. He and the Nine Souls Sword were already prepared.


    Boom!


    Suddenly, the ground beneath Li Xie''s feet cracked and Li Xie was caught off guard and directly fell inside.


    Bang!


    After landing, Li Xie''s left hand immediately supported him as he stood up. He surveyed his surroundings and came to a place that was filled with a rotten aura.


    It seemed that very few people came to this place, even the insect, rat, and ant showed no signs of coming here.


    At this moment, the Nine Souls Sword in Li Xie''s hands trembled a few times.


    Following the Nine Souls Sword''s slight tremble, a wave of beast aura rushed over!


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth raised slightly, because he was about to meet the ferocious Strange Beast.


    As Li Xie injected a wave of Elemental Energy into the beast, it started to radiate light in all directions.


    Li Xie clenched his Nine Souls Sword and strode forward, the stench of death in the air and the beast Qi did not make him slow down at all.


    Bang


    Suddenly, two ferocious Strange Beast tore open the wall and drilled out, approaching aggressively.


    Li Xie''s footsteps suddenly stopped. The tea shop manager was right.


    The size of these two Strange Beast were comparable to a Six Tailed Mountain Cat. They had strong limbs and sharp claws and fangs! His eyes were filled with killing intent!


    Each had a horn on its head, which also looked like a sharp weapon.


    The space in front of him, which could be considered spacious, suddenly became crowded.


    The two fierce Strange Beast s opened their eyes wide as they looked at Li Xie, and then licked their lips, as though they were ready to eat a full meal.


    Li Xie''s skin was tender and tender, so one bite of hers would definitely be delicious.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows. How could he not see through the thoughts of the two ferocious Strange Beast?


    Hey! Where was the key to the iron gate of the Spirit Wind Mountain Range? Li Xie asked harshly.


    Yo, big brother, why is today''s guest a fool? The Strange Beast on the left coldly spoke.


    Humph! He must have been scared silly by us! The Strange Beast on the right said.


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth rose. Under the gaze of the two fierce Strange Beast, he approached them step by step.


    Astonishment filled the faces of the two ferocious Strange Beast. They did not dare believe their eyes, to think that there was someone who dared to take the initiative to approach them.


    Furthermore, the swords that Li Xie tightly gripped in his hands had proven that he wanted to fight with them, and this made the two fierce Strange Beast even more excited!


    Since that was the case, these two fierce Strange Beast decided to end the battle quickly!


    Bang!


    Two ferocious Strange Beast leapt up and pounced towards Li Xie at the same time, like black clouds that covered the sky.


    Li Xie raised the Nine Souls Sword in his hand and swung it upwards, as if he was pushing away clouds and mist to see the clear sky!


    Hiss! Hiss!


    The Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi whizzed out, instantly allowing the two ferocious Strange Beast to hastily dodge.


    When the two vicious Strange Beast landed on the ground at the same time, the ground shook as well.


    Just as the two ferocious Strange Beast were about to pounce towards Li Xie again, Li Xie had already arrived in front of them with his Nine Souls Sword in tow, moving as fast as lightning.


    Like a violent storm, the Sword Qi of the Nine Souls Sword rushed towards the two fierce Strange Beast.


    Under the impact of the Nine Souls Sword s'' Sword Qi, the surrounding walls became dilapidated accordingly.


    The Sword Qi of the Nine Souls Sword was still continuing, so the two ferocious Strange Beast had no choice but to turn their attack into defense.


    Li Xie''s feet suddenly flew into the air, causing the Nine Souls Sword to fall down.


    Swoosh!


    When the Nine Souls Sword showed its sharpness, it instantly added a hint of light to the hole that was filled with its rotting aura and beast aura.


    Even so, the killing intent in the eyes of the two Strange Beast did not decrease in the slightest!


    Ang!


    The two ferocious Strange Beast in the hole roared, and their beast powers boiled in their bodies!


    Bang


    The Sword Qi of the Nine Souls Sword was exhausted after being surrounded by the two fierce Strange Beast and finally disappeared.


    In the blink of an eye, the two ferocious Strange Beast opened their mouths wide as they charged at Li Xie.


    Li Xie brandished the Nine Souls Sword, allowing the Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi to fly out, but it could not stop the ferocious Strange Beast from releasing its power!


    BOOM! "Boom!


    The Sword Qi was all devoured by the beasts, and those two fierce Strange Beast got closer and closer to Li Xie!


    The beast Qi became denser and denser, enough to suffocate people!


    Li Xie stepped over the heads of the two ferocious Strange Beast and arrived behind them.


    Hiss!


    The two ferocious Strange Beast swung their tails at the same time. Li Xie was unable to dodge and was directly sent flying!


    Bang!


    After landing, just as Li Xie was about to stand up, the two ferocious Strange Beast swung their tails again and quickly tied Li Xie up.


    Li Xie clenched his teeth and released the Elemental Energy from his body, but he was still unable to break free.


    The two ferocious Strange Beast turned around and coldly stared at Li Xie as if they were looking at a dying person.


    Under the control of the two ferocious Strange Beast, their tails lifted Li Xie up to them like carrying a rock.


    Smelly brat, you should be crying and begging for mercy this time, right? The ferocious Strange Beast on the left said.


    No need, because I haven''t lost yet! Li Xie said resolutely.


    Humph! Then I''ll swallow you whole right now and see what else you can say! Just as he finished speaking, the ferocious Strange Beast on the left opened its mouth and pounced towards Li Xie.


    Get lost!


    Following Li Xie''s furious roar, the Elemental Energy in his body began to boil.


    Both of his arms exerted force at the same time, and the tail of the ferocious Strange Beast that was binding Li Xie was instantly split open!


    The two ferocious Strange Beast were dumbfounded almost at the same time, they had no time to retreat.


    Li Xie held the Nine Souls Sword tightly and pierced downwards, like a storm!


    "Hiss ¡­"


    The sword light flashed past, and when the ferocious Strange Beast on the left came back to its senses, the Nine Souls Sword in Li Xie''s hand had already pierced its head.


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth twitched, and he took the opportunity to pull the Nine Souls Sword out from the Strange Beast''s head.


    Boom!


    The ferocious Strange Beast on the left side fell to the ground like scattered boulders, raising a cloud of dust.


    Before it could even close its eyes, its life had already been taken away.


    Ah!" I will send you to my second brother''s death! The ferocious beast on the right roared.


    Bang!


    The ferocious Strange Beast swung its sharp claws at Li Xie, not giving him any chance to catch his breath.


    Li Xie dodged and dodged, every time he dodged the attacks from the ferocious claws of the Strange Beast.


    The ferocious Strange Beast was completely enraged, it leapt up and pounced down from the sky.


    The ferocious Strange Beast wanted to perish together with Li Xie, as it had already gathered all of the beast''s power together.


    Boom!


    Li Xie held his Nine Souls Sword tightly as he walked towards the ferocious Strange Beast, the Sword Qi howling in the air.


    Ah!" I will send you to my second brother''s death! The ferocious beast on the right roared.


    Following the cries of the ferocious Strange Beast which reverberated around the cave, the ferocious Strange Beast fell from the sky.


    Bang!


    It was as if mountains were collapsing and the earth cracking. When the ferocious Strange Beast landed on the ground, a huge pit was formed on the ground, with dust flying everywhere.


    When Li Xie landed steadily on the ground, the ferocious Strange Beast''s eyes had already dimmed.


    Li Xie sheathed the Nine Souls Sword back into its sheath and heaved a sigh of relief.


    In order to deal with these two vicious Strange Beast, Li Xie suffered a lot and spent a large amount of Elemental Energy.


    Just then, waves after waves of strong beast power surged into Li Xie''s body.


    In an instant, there were two flames violently burning within Li Xie''s body.


    Li Xie spread open his arms and raised them high, allowing the flames to gather and release themselves as soon as possible.

 C68

    Li Xie clenched his teeth, the ground under his feet had already been scorched black.


    Currently, Li Xie''s eyes were flashing with light, enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with the daylight outside of the Emptiness Realm.


    As the flames burned, the Elemental Energy in Li Xie''s body continuously condensed before dispersing into his entire body.


    The exhaustion had been swept away and was replaced with excitement!


    Boom!


    At this moment, Li Xie''s eyes were wide open, the power of his Martial Cultivator realm had reached the middle levels of the Origin Realm.


    The flames violently burning in Li Xie''s body slowly extinguished, followed by waves of refreshing feeling.


    Whether it was the arm strength or hearing, it had once again improved quite a bit!


    As Li Xie breathed in happily, the air in the hole became much fresher.


    Li Xie put down his hands that were held high up in the air, and took the chance to wipe the sweat off his forehead.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    The corpses of the two Strange Beast continued to turn into ashes, and in the end, only the pitch-black horn on top of their heads remained, like a shining gem.


    Li Xie walked forward and picked them up, thinking that these two horns were the keys to the Spirit Wind Mountain Range''s iron gate.


    To be safe, after Li Xie withdrew the two horns of the ferocious Strange Beast, he continued to turn the sky upside down.


    Something that disappointed Li Xie happened. There was nothing else in the hole.


    By the time Li Xie reached the mouth of the cave, the spiderweb had already dried up.


    Li Xie raised his left hand and the spider web immediately fell to the ground and disappeared without a trace.


    Li Xie then quickly walked out of the cave, waking up Wang Dong and Wang Xi who had been trapped in a dream.


    After half an hour, Li Xie and the rest arrived at the foot of the Spirit Wind Mountain Range.


    Li Xie raised his head and looked at the sky.


    If it was night, he didn''t know what kind of changes would happen in the Spirit Wind Mountain Range, so Li Xie wanted to reach the Spirit Wind Mountain Range before it got dark as soon as possible.


    Wang Dong took a step forward and stood in front of Li Xie, and extended his hand out to touch it.


    In the blink of an eye, an unbreakable metal door appeared in front of Li Xie and the others.


    The metal gate towered into the clouds as it enveloped the entire Spirit Wind Mountain Range.


    Wanting to find a way to bypass the iron gate and enter the Spirit Wind Mountain Range, that was something impossible.


    Wang Dong turned his head to look at Li Xie, he was unable to open the steel door.


    At this time, Li Xie took out two horns from his sleeve that belonged to the ferocious Strange Beast.


    He wasn''t sure if these two horns were the key to the Spirit Wind Mountain Range, but he would definitely try it.


    Wang Dong and Wang Xi''s gaze naturally fell on Li Xie''s hands. They both thought that the two horns came from the Strange Beast in the hole.


    One could tell from the two horns that the Strange Beast in the hole was huge and fierce.


    Whoosh ¡­


    The two horns gently floated away from Li Xie''s hands, and then they gathered together, following that, a golden key appeared in front of Li Xie and the rest.


    Wang Dong and Wang Xi were overjoyed. What they had hoped for had finally happened.


    Huff ¡­


    At the foot of the Spirit Wind Mountain, the iron gate was opened. After a while, the gate disappeared without a trace.


    Li Xie looked at Wang Dong and Wang Xi, then took the lead to walk up the stone path towards the Spirit Wind Mountain Range.


    Wang Dong and Wang Xi hurriedly followed. They had never thought that they would one day reach the Spirit Wind Mountain Range. Right now, it was as if they were dreaming.


    An hour later, the night had already enveloped the Spirit Wind Mountain Range.


    As the night descended, all kinds of strange sounds echoed in the surroundings.


    Whether there was an even more ferocious Strange Beast or a murderous Martial Cultivator deep within the Spirit Wind Mountain Range, no one knew.


    Fortunately, there were a few houses on the mountainside of the Spirit Wind Mountain Range. Looking from afar, the house was brightly-lit, Li Xie and the rest quickly walked towards the houses.


    When the brightly lit house appeared in front of Li Xie and the rest, the guards at the entrance sized them up.


    Just what exactly is this place, at the moment, Li Xie still had no way of knowing.


    Li Xie cupped his fists and bowed to them, as if he was a person that specifically came to visit their Patriarch.


    Following that, Wang Dong and Wang Xi walked over to Li Xie''s side and bowed towards the man guarding the door.


    Are you here to visit our monastery leader? the gatekeeper asked.


    Right, I wonder if we can get the chance to visit? Li Xie replied calmly.


    Since the visitor is a guest, please come in!


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows, seeing the respectful look on the guards'' faces, they must have said those words to him.


    From the voice, it could be seen that the Monastery leader was a middle-aged man around the age of forty.


    Huff ¡­


    The door opened, and Li Xie and the rest entered the brightly lit house.


    From the gatekeeping people, they knew that this was the Jing Yang Temple and they were all disciples of it.


    Ever since they had become sensible, there had been very few guests from Jingyang Temple.


    Because of the iron gate at the foot of the Spirit Wind Mountain, they had never left the Spirit Wind Mountain Range, so they knew very little about the outside world.


    They did not feel dejected because of this, because they believed that Jingyang View was the most beautiful place in the mortal world.


    Their master was also their master, and he was a modest person with a profound cultivation realm in the Martial Cultivator.


    When the disciples of the Jing Yang Monastery brought Li Xie and the rest to the living room, they turned and left.


    Li Xie looked at his surroundings and suddenly felt that Jing Yang Temple looked a little like the Nine Desolate Pavilion.


    Standing outside and looking at Jing Yang Monastery did not make it feel that it was big, but after walking in, he realized that Jing Yang Monastery was not any smaller than City Lord''s Mansion.


    Unknowingly, Li Xie wanted to get to know the master of the Jing Yang Monastery, and he didn''t know who he was.


    If the divine weapon really was in the Spirit Wind Mountain Range, then the temple master of the Jing Yang Temple would definitely know.


    Cough ¡­ Sorry to keep you waiting!


    Li Xie and the rest looked towards the source of the sound and saw a man dressed in a white robe walking towards them.


    He must be the temple master of the Jing Yang Temple.


    Not long later, a man dressed in a white robe stood in front of Li Xie and the rest.


    Wang Dong and Wang Xi followed Li Xie and cupped their fists and saluted the man in white robes, and the man in white robes naturally returned the greeting.


    The man in the white gown was full of smiles. It had been a long time since they had seen such a lively night.


    Senior, you should be the temple master of Jingyang Temple, right? Li Xie asked.


    Yes, I am the monastery head of Jingyang Temple, Song Zhongping. I wonder what I should call you three? The man in the white robe said slowly.


    My name is Li Xie, the two of them are Wang Dong and Wang Xi. Li Xie said.


    Oh, your name is Li Xie? I seem to have heard of this name before! Song Zhongping raised his eyebrows.


    Monastery Head Song, we are actually here for the divine weapon! Li Xie said calmly.


    Song Zhongping did not display any shock at all after hearing what Li Xie said, as if he had already expected it.


    No matter, ever since the Divine Weapon descended on the Spirit Wind Mountain Range, I have been searching for it. Song Zhongping said as he held his cheek.


    Oh, could it be that the masterwork weapon is really in the Spirit Wind Mountain Range? Li Xie said.


    For now, I can only say that it is possible. After all, I have already sent people to search for her for a few days, but they have all come up empty-handed. Song Zhongping said, his tone was anxious.


    Li Xie thoughtfully nodded his head, thinking that could it be that the divine weapon was waiting for its real master to appear? So that it would appear?

 C69

    As for who the owner of the sharp weapon was, Li Xie would never think that it was himself.


    From Old Daoist Suifeng''s words, it was already known that this divine weapon had come specifically to deal with him. How interesting.


    It was already deep into the night, so Song Zhongping ordered his men to clean up the rooms for Li Xie and the others, who were the honored guests of their Jingyang Monastery.


    Li Xie was arranged to live in the Northern Courtyard, while Wang Dong and Wang Xi stayed in the Southern Courtyard.


    The Northern Courtyard was newly built by Jing Yang Monastery, and the tables, chairs, doors and windows inside were all fresh. This was Li Xie''s first time living in the Northern Courtyard.


    Li Xie wandered around the yard in the Northern Courtyard.


    Li Xie raised his head and looked at the moonlight. The moonlight in the Spirit Wind Mountain Range was cold, it did not look like it was in the middle of summer.


    The Northern Courtyard was very quiet, making the moonlight seem distant.


    A slight fragrance was slowly wafting over, allowing people in the Northern Courtyard to calm down and wait, but Li Xie found it difficult to calm himself down.


    The range of the Spirit Wind Mountain Range was very large, it was unknown where the divine weapons landed.


    It would be impossible to turn the entire Spirit Wind Mountain Range upside down in one or two months.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows, he did not know how far Su Cheng''s progress in Eastwood Town had progressed.


    If Su Cheng were to obtain a divine weapon, his strength would increase by leaps and bounds! It was like adding wings to a tiger!


    Thinking of this, Li Xie''s mood became even clearer.


    Just at this moment, the familiar sound of footsteps came over from afar. Li Xie turned around to take a look and discovered that she had arrived.


    Li Xie immediately turned towards her and smiled. He was very surprised by her appearance.


    Not long after, Sun Pei stood in front of Li Xie, and she had come precisely for her sake.


    After not seeing Li Xie for a few days, it seemed like Li Xie''s Martial Cultivator realm had risen another level.


    The last time they parted ways in Scopus Town, Li Xie had thought that it would be a long time before he and Sun Pei met again.


    Although he and Sun Pei had not known each other for very long, the feeling of meeting each other once again made him overjoyed.


    Miss Sun, why are you here? Li Xie asked straightforwardly.


    Couldn''t it? I would also like to see the elegance of a masterwork weapon! Sun Pei said with a smile.


    Hm? I seem to have heard you say that you are not interested in divine weapons. Li Xie said.


    Sun Pei laughed. She did not expect Li Xie''s memory to be so good.


    You''re right, but I know you''re interested in Divine Weapons. I''m here to help you! Sun Pei blurted out, without even the slightest intention.


    Oh, if you say so, I believe you. Li Xie said sincerely.


    Let''s go, I''ll take you to a good place! Right after she finished speaking, Sun Pei turned and walked forward quickly.


    After leaving the Northern Courtyard of the Jingyang Monastery, Li Xie and Sun Pei had passed through many dense forests, and arrived at a flower valley that was filled with the fragrance of flowers.


    Sun Pei was like a butterfly dancing in a valley of flowers, her face brimming with a most innocent smile.


    Li Xie stood at the side and watched quietly. The current Sun Pei was like an ordinary girl, very simple and clean.


    Only when Sun Pei couldn''t move, did she slowly stop with a face full of unsatisfied desire.


    It had been a long time since she had been this relaxed, nearly forgetting the time.


    She passed through the Flower Valley and quickly returned to Li Xie''s side, gently patting his shoulder.


    Just now when Li Xie stood at the side and watched her dancing, it would become one of the most beautiful scenes in her mind.


    Miss Sun, did you tell Su Cheng about the possibility of Divine Weapons landing in Eastwood Town and the Spirit Wind Mountain Range? Li Xie asked, at this moment, his face showed no emotions.


    Yes. Sun Pei did not choose to hide it and she replied without hesitation.


    Miss Sun, you really know a lot of things. Even you know that there is a flower valley here. Li Xie sighed.


    Cough, all of this is because I have a great master! Sun Pei said with a smile.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows, he had already heard Sun Pei mention her master several times.


    Oh, who is your master? Can you tell me? Li Xie asked.


    When the time is ripe, I will tell you. Sun Pei said.


    Do I know your master? Li Xie stared at Sun Pei and asked.


    My master is much older than you, how could you possibly know him? Sun Pei rolled her eyes at Li Xie and said.


    Boom ¡­


    Li Xie and Sun Pei looked towards the source of the sound and saw that a vortex had appeared in the middle of the valley.


    Li Xie and Sun Pei naturally looked at each other. They both felt that about ninety percent of the divine power in the vortex came from divine weapons.


    If it really was a divine weapon hiding here, Li Xie and Sun Pei would never have expected it.


    With the release of his divine force, a strong light also burst out of the whirlpool.


    Li Xie and Sun Pei both raised their arms to shield their eyes from the strong light.


    The gale began to blow in from all directions, and the initially calm Flower Valley was once again stirred up.


    When the strong light gradually dissipated, Li Xie and Sun Pei lowered their raised arms and looked again.


    Bang!


    With a loud explosion, a divine weapon emerged from the swirling vortex, instantly shining with a brilliant light!


    Squeak squeak...


    The spinning whirlpool gradually stopped and disappeared without a trace.


    Li Xie and Sun Pei heaved a sigh of relief, the sudden appearance of the divine weapon was something they expected.


    After the light surrounding the weapon had dissipated, only three words were shining on the weapon.


    Soul Drinking Blade!


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth raised slightly, he finally got his wish and took a look at the glory of these divine weapons.


    Compared to the Nine Souls Sword, the power emitted by the Soul Drinking Blade was not small at all.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    The Nine Souls Sword inside the scabbard trembled slightly. It felt the pressure from the Soul Drinking Blade and Li Xie felt it as well.


    It seemed that what Old Daoist Suifeng said was true, this Soul Drinking Blade had some influence on the Nine Souls Sword, whether or not it was the bane of the Nine Souls Sword still to be verified.


    Brother Li, quickly go! Your divine weapon is already waving at you! Sun Pei shouted to Li Xie.


    No need, this Soul Drinking Blade does not belong to me! Li Xie said indifferently.


    I don''t believe it! Before her voice fell, Sun Pei pushed Li Xie forward with all her might.


    Li Xie staggered a few steps forward. When he came to a stop, the Soul Drinking Blade was right before his eyes.


    Unknowingly, Li Xie raised his right hand, as if he could feel the temperature of the Soul Drinking Blade.


    The Soul Drinking Blade circled Li Xie, as though it was trying to get as familiar as possible with him. They had just met each other for the first time.


    At this time, the Soul Drinking Blade withdrew its sharp gaze and slowly became gentle.


    Sun Pei stood not too far away and watched the entire scene. Her two jade hands were intertwined, she was even more nervous than Li Xie.


    When Li Xie held the Soul Drinking Blade tightly in his hand, Sun Pei smiled with mixed feelings.


    Li Xie spread out the Soul Drinking Blade on his palm. Every inch of the Soul Drinking Blade''s texture every single inch was radiating light, allowing people to be relaxed and happy.


    As long as he could communicate with the Soul Drinking Blade, he would be able to reach the third level of the Art of Raging Heaven.


    Li Xie laughed carefreely, but at the moment, he felt as though he was floating.


    Only, Li Xie did not relax for a long time because he felt that the Soul Drinking Blade''s weight was a bit light.


    Just now, Li Xie''s mind had been clouded by joy, but now, he was gradually coming back to his senses.


    Li Xie turned and looked at Sun Pei with the Soul Drinking Blade in his hands. His expression had already returned to normal.

 C70

    Sun Pei strode over to Li Xie''s side. She did not know if Li Xie had realized something or not.


    She looked at the Soul Drinking Blade that Li Xie was holding in his hands. The charm of a Soul Drinking Blade was indeed strong, to the point that she almost couldn''t resist holding it in her hands.


    Brother Li, what''s wrong? Sun Pei frowned and asked.


    I don''t know if it''s because I was overthinking things, but I keep having the feeling that the Soul Drinking Blade''s weight isn''t right. Li Xie looked at Sun Pei and said.


    Brother Li, your intuition is not wrong, this is because the Soul Drinking Blade in your hands is only half a Blade Soul, that''s all!


    Li Xie and Sun Pei looked towards the source of the sound and saw that Jing Yang Monastery''s monastery head Song Zhongping was already walking towards them.


    Sun Pei frowned, she was wondering why Song Zhongping was here, could it be that he had been following them the entire time?


    Not long later, Song Zhongping stood in front of Li Xie and Sun Pei.


    Song Zhongping had been observing the sky when he suddenly realized that another strange light was soaring up into the sky. He immediately ran towards the direction of the strange light.


    Senior, are you saying that the Soul Drinking Blade in my hand is only half a Blade Soul? Li Xie asked.


    Yes, I saw all of this in the "Ancient Records". A thousand years ago, the Soul Drinking Blade was only a Heaven grade weapon, but by chance, it was brought to the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace by the sage realm Martial Cultivator. Song Zhongping said.


    Then where would the other half of the Blade Soul be? Li Xie raised his eyebrows and said.


    Well, I don''t know. Song Zhongping sighed and said.


    Li Xie stared at the Soul Drinking Blade in his hands, his thoughts in a mess.


    Sun Pei and Song Zhongping stood at the side and watched Li Xie, and could not bear to interrupt his thoughts.


    At the same time, Sun Pei was also observing Song Zhongping from the corner of her eyes.


    After a long while, Li Xie''s eyes lit up. He felt that the other half of the Blade Soul might be in Eastwood Town.


    Brother Li, it''s getting late, let''s go back and rest first! Sun Pei could tell that Li Xie had thought through something, and said.


    "Hmm ¡­" All right. After Li Xie regained his senses, he withdrew his Soul Drinking Blade and said.


    After a few hours, Li Xie woke up. He got off the bed and walked forward quickly. When he opened the door, it was still night time.


    Li Xie couldn''t help but frown as he clearly remembered that he had slept for quite a few hours.


    Logically speaking, it should have already been the second day since the sun shone brightly in the sky.


    Li Xie lifted his right hand and tugged at his ear. A very real pain came one after another.


    Li Xie walked into the courtyard of the Northern Courtyard with large strides, his surroundings still as quiet as before.


    Li Xie raised his head and glanced at the moonlight.


    At this time, the Nine Souls Sword inside the sword sheath gently shook a few times, as if to remind Li Xie that there was danger nearby.


    But the Soul Drinking Blade on Li Xie''s back was extremely quiet, as if it was asleep.


    Bang!


    A light figure descended from the sky and instantly stood in front of Li Xie.


    This light figure was Jing Yang Monastery''s master, Song Zhongping. At this moment, Song Zhongping''s face did not reveal any of his emotions.


    He watched Li Xie closely. When Li Xie held onto the half of the Soul Drinking Blade Blade Soul, he had thought that this would happen.


    Li Xie said with a faint smile. He had originally thought that tonight would be a smooth night.


    However, things did not go as he wished. He could already see the murderous intent in Song Zhongping''s eyes.


    Monastery Master Song, are you planning to rob Soul Drinking Blade s from the public? Li Xie asked.


    Yes, the Soul Drinking Blade is very important to me, and since the heavens allowed it to descend on the Spirit Wind Mountain Range, it should be mine to use! I want to use it to illuminate the East Qin Kingdom of Jing Yang Monastery! Song Zhong''s expression darkened.


    Why didn''t you say it earlier? Maybe I will give you the Soul Drinking Blade. Li Xie said with a stern expression.


    Humph! Don''t lie, I''m not a three year old child! Song Zhongping''s mouth twitched as he said.


    Since that''s the case, then hurry up and give it a try! Li Xie said as the corner of his mouth rose.


    Hehe! Haven''t you noticed? You are trapped in the dream I created! Song Zhongping sneered.


    Li Xie raised his brows, he quickly walked to the side of a big tree and reached out his hand to touch it, and surprisingly, the tree was as big as air.


    Song Zhongping approached Li Xie step by step, his mouth revealing a sinister smile.


    So what if I am trapped in your dreams! Li Xie shouted.


    It looks like you still don''t know what ''heaven and earth are thick'' means, then let me properly teach you on behalf of your parents! Just as he finished speaking, Song Zhongping jumped up and instantly appeared behind Li Xie.


    Before Li Xie could turn around, Song Zhongping kicked Li Xie flying!


    After landing, Li Xie used both of his hands to prop himself up.


    Song Zhongping raised his hands high up in the air. Under his control, the rocks in the Northern Courtyard flew up in the air and pounced towards Li Xie.


    Li Xie dodged, and with a leap, he firmly threw the flying rocks behind him.


    The corner of Song Zhongping''s mouth twitched. Li Xie actually had such an outstanding skill in his dreams, that was something he did not expect.


    At this time, Song Zhongping clenched his fists, and a wave of powerful Elemental Energy pounced towards Li Xie.


    Just as Li Xie was prepared to dodge, the Elemental Energy that was pouncing towards him seemed to have seen through his thoughts and flew ahead of him, pouncing towards Li Xie.


    Song Zhongping''s figure flashed. Without waiting for Li Xie to land on the ground, he directly punched at Li Xie''s chest.


    It was as if a pair of invisible hands had pressed down on Li Xie''s shoulders, preventing him from moving, and Song Zhongping''s fist had coincidentally landed on his chest.


    Bang!


    After Li Xie landed on the ground, the ground was left with many deep marks, and fresh blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.


    Li Xie stood up shakily. Song Zhongping, who was standing not far away, seemed to have grown three heads and six arms.


    Don''t struggle, it is your honor to die in the dream I created. Song Zhongping sneered.


    Monastery Head Song, don''t be happy too early. Li Xie remained calm.


    Oh, do you think you have a chance to turn the tide? Song Zhongping asked coldly.


    Hiss!


    Li Xie unsheathed the Elemental Energy and threw it into the Nine Souls Sword.


    Clang ¡­


    Hahahaha!


    Li Xie looked down and the Nine Souls Sword in his hands had actually turned into ice, scattering to the ground right after.


    Brother Li, this is a dreamscape I created. How can I let you have a sword? Song Zhongping said excitedly.


    Li Xie frowned, the Elemental Energy in his body was dissipating quietly.


    It was very likely that he would not even have the strength to walk in the next moment. All of this was within Song Zhongping''s expectations.


    Song Zhongping walked closer to Li Xie step by step, and the expression in his eyes became colder and colder.


    Even if it was only half of Blade Soul, he would not let it slip through his fingers.


    Humph!


    In the blink of an eye, Song Zhongping had already arrived in front of Li Xie, extended his hands and picked Li Xie up.


    At that moment, Li Xie felt that he was like a block of wood, being trampled on by others.


    Song Zhongping laughed coldly, he had already remembered why he was familiar with the name Li Xie, which was because of what happened at Four Seas Hall Headquarters a while ago.


    Song Zhongping sighed inwardly at how tough Li Xie''s life was, to be able to survive until today.


    Whoosh!


    Song Zhongping tossed casually, and Li Xie directly flew out without any resistance.


    The moment Li Xie landed, Song Zhongping had already walked quickly to his side, fast as lightning.

 C71

    Song Zhongping looked down at Li Xie as if he was looking down at an ant.


    You must be very tired. It''s time for you to have a good rest. Song Zhongping said. At this moment, his voice was very soft.


    Li Xie''s eyelids began to waver, as if he had not rested for a few days.


    Li Xie clenched his fists tightly, trying to make himself feel excited again.


    However, things did not go as he wished. Instead, Li Xie felt that his head was getting heavier and lighter, and it was very possible that he would faint in the next moment.


    Song Zhongping saw all of this; the feeling of having everything under his control was too satisfying!


    Song Zhongping was already imagining the majestic look of the Soul Drinking Blade in his hand!


    Bang!


    After a moment of struggle, Li Xie finally fell to the ground exhausted, like a stone that had fallen from the sky.


    Song Zhongping smiled coldly, and a dagger appeared in his right hand.


    Even in the dream, Song Zhongping still wanted to cut off Li Xie''s head and hang it at the main entrance of the Venerate Sun Sect.


    All those who had come into contact with or met the Soul Drinking Blade would die. After Li Xie was killed, the next target would be Sun Pei.


    Boom!


    Suddenly, Li Xie opened his eyes, and the flames that spouted out from his eyes caused Song Zhongping to hastily retreat.


    After Song Zhong stabilized his footsteps, he gradually regained his composure.


    At this time, Li Xie had already stood up, and swept away all his fatigue.


    Song Zhongping looked at Li Xie in disbelief. Just now, Li Xie had already fainted, how could he still wake up?


    Li Xie, I never thought that you would actually be able to stand up again! Song Zhongping sighed.


    Not only that, I will personally send you on your way! Li Xie said coldly.


    Humph! How is this possible? This is a dream I created! Song Zhongping said disapprovingly.


    I''m going to turn the tables on you now! Li Xie said.


    Die! With an explosive shout, Song Zhongping held his dagger tightly and pounced towards Li Xie.


    Swoosh!


    When Li Xie and Song Zhongping brushed past each other, a sword light flashed.


    Song Zhongping stopped and rolled his eyes at Li Xie, as the corner of his mouth raised into a sneer.


    Just then, Song Zhongping suddenly realised that Li Xie was holding onto a Nine Souls Sword.


    Song Zhongping looked down. His waist was already injured by the Sword Qi.


    What was going on? How could I be hurt in my dreams? Song Zhongping frowned.


    Boom!


    After the loud noise, the night sky was broken by the impact of the sunlight.


    Song Zhongping raised his head and realized that the Nine Souls Sword had entered the dream space from outside.


    Li Xie had long since become interlinked with the Nine Souls Sword, so no matter where Li Xie was, it would be able to find him.


    When Song Zhongping came out from his shock, the dream he created was already gone.


    Song Zhongping took a deep breath, and slowly pulled the distance between him and Li Xie, his hands could not help but tremble.


    Monastery Head Song, do you still think you can escape? Li Xie said as the corner of his mouth rose.


    Ah!" I will perish together with you! Just as he said that, Song Zhongping rushed towards Li Xie.


    Hiss!


    With Nine Souls Sword in hand, Li Xie walked towards Song Zhongping. Following the whistling sound of the Sword Qi, a tearing sound followed.


    When Li Xie stopped, Song Zhongping''s dagger had already fallen to the side.


    Bang!


    Song Zhongping fell to the ground in despair, he didn''t even have the time to take a last breath.


    Li Xie sheathed his sword and then heaved a sigh of relief. This was just the beginning, after this, more Martial Cultivator would come knocking on his door.


    Li Xie frowned. He could have immediately thrown away this half of the Blade Soul, but he was actually unwilling.


    Blade Soul had unknowingly affected his mood, causing him to change from his previous self.


    After an hour, Li Xie, Sun Pei and the rest had already left Jing Yang Temple and reached the foot of the Spirit Wind Mountain Range.


    Just like yesterday, the foot of the Spirit Wind Mountain was quiet.


    Just at this moment, a thousand mile long sound transmission floated into Li Xie''s ears, and no one else could hear it.


    Then, Li Xie stopped in his tracks. If not for that thousand kilometer sound transmission, he would have wanted to return to Zhong Yuan City.


    Sun Pei turned her face to look at Li Xie, she felt that Li Xie''s expression was a little strange.


    Standing at the side, Wang Dong and Wang Xi were also staring at Li Xie, causing the air to freeze.


    Brother Wang, please accompany Sun Pei to return to the Zhong Yuan City. Li Xie cupped his hands and said to Wang Dong and Wang Xi.


    Oh, Brother Li, don''t tell me you''re not going to return to Zhong Yuan City anymore? Wang Dong asked.


    I have to return to the Zhong Yuan City a few days later. I have another extremely important matter to take care of right now. Li Xie slowly said.


    Brother Li, I want to accompany you! Sun Pei stubbornly said.


    No need, you should return to the Zhong Yuan City! Li Xie immediately refused.


    Although there was a veil separating them, Wang Dong and Wang Xi could still see the dejected look on Sun Pei''s face.


    Let''s go! Before she finished speaking, Sun Pei turned and walked away, getting further and further away from Li Xie.


    After Sun Pei and her group left, Li Xie slowly withdrew her gaze.


    Just now, the thousand Li sound had come from Su Cheng, and he had arranged to meet Li Xie at Gemini Temple.


    The Duo Xiong Duo would be located in the southwest of the Spirit Wind Mountain Range, not far from the Spirit Wind Mountain Range.


    Why did Su Cheng choose to meet him at Gemini Temple, Li Xie had yet to figure it out, but he would not choose to decline because of this.


    He had a strong premonition that the other half of the Blade Soul was already in Su Cheng''s hands, and Su Cheng also knew that he had obtained the other half.


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth raised slightly. He was looking forward to meeting Su Cheng at the Gemini Temple.


    In the blink of an eye, several hours had passed and night had arrived once more.


    Li Xie did not rush to arrive at the Twin Towers before it got dark. Since it was already dark, he had to find a place to stay.


    Fortunately, there was a small town nearby. The name of the small town was'' Border Town ''.


    The town within the radius was also under the jurisdiction of the Zhong Yuan City, and there were many young Martial Cultivator in the town who had already headed towards the Zhong Yuan City to search for a better future.


    The town was not big and the streets were not very wide. There was only one inn.


    After travelling for an entire day, Li Xie was a little tired as he quickly entered the tavern.


    The waitress came up to him with a smiling face and gave him a warm welcome.


    Li Xie took out some silver and ordered a good room, he then found an empty seat and prepared to eat dinner.


    The inn''s business wasn''t good. Looking around, there were only a few scattered guests.


    This way was also good. Li Xie needed a quiet environment to rest at ease.


    Even so, Li Xie''s arrival still attracted the attention of many people. On his back were two weapons.


    The way the Nine Souls Sword and half of the Blade Soul were getting along could be considered calm, which made Li Xie feel a lot better.


    Right at this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came from afar. Li Xie raised his head and saw that it was a few aggressive Martial Cultivator s who had barged into the inn.


    The innkeeper immediately bent over to greet him, even though he was already sweating profusely.


    The leading Martial Cultivator sized up the innkeeper. The attitude of the innkeeper was not bad.


    Shopkeeper, did a young and handsome Martial Cultivator come to your shop today? The leading Martial Cultivator asked.


    Yes, it was so close to the horizon! As soon as he finished speaking, the innkeeper raised his hand and pointed.

 C72

    Everyone''s eyes followed the direction the innkeeper was pointing towards, and coincidentally saw Li Xie.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows, secretly sighing that the heavens really knew how to joke with him.


    He had originally wanted to rest after dinner, but things were not going as he wished. It would be difficult to pass the night peacefully.


    The leading Martial Cultivator waved his hand, and the other Martial Cultivator s followed him and walked towards Li Xie like a pack of fierce wolves.


    Li Xie intentionally turned his gaze elsewhere, pretending that he did not see anything.


    Bang!


    The leading Martial Cultivator walked to Li Xie''s side and then slammed the table with all his might, causing the entire inn to shake.


    Everyone in the inn all turned to look at Li Xie''s direction, some of them afraid, some of them looking forward to it, some of them waiting to watch the show.


    Li Xie shifted his gaze back onto the leading Martial Cultivator, and gently furrowed his brows.


    The leading Martial Cultivator had a moustache, with just a glare, his murderous aura appeared on the paper.


    The rest of the Martial Cultivator s gathered around Li Xie, all of them with widened eyes, a cold smile on their lips.


    Brat, do you know Li Xie? The leading Martial Cultivator asked in a stern voice.


    Li Xie? I heard he was pretty good. I just passed him by. Li Xie said as he stood up.


    Brat, where did you see him just now? The leading Martial Cultivator asked.


    He was lying on a branch in the woods outside the town. Li Xie said somewhat panickedly.


    The leading Martial Cultivator sneered. It looks like tonight''s trip was worth it.


    Little brother, quickly take us to him! The eyes of the leading Martial Cultivator flickered with light.


    I dare not. It is dark outside now, and the woods are full of danger. Li Xie said in a trembling voice.


    Humph! If you don''t lead the way, I can send you to see Yama now! With that said, the leading Martial Cultivator unsheathed his blade and placed it on Li Xie''s neck.


    Don''t! I will bring you guys to find Li Xie right now! Li Xie said in a fluster.


    That''s right! The leading Martial Cultivator kept the blade on Li Xie''s neck, and took the opportunity to pat Li Xie''s shoulder.


    After a moment, the group of aggressive Martial Cultivator followed Li Xie into the forest.


    The light in the forest was dim, and only scattered drops of moonlight fell.


    The ground was covered with fallen leaves, making it seem like it was late autumn.


    The leading Martial Cultivator looked around while keeping an eye on Li Xie from the corner of his eyes, as he was being cautious of what tricks Li Xie would play.


    Li Xie strode forward, his steps becoming lighter and lighter.


    Martial Cultivator, who was leading the group, saw all of these and he could not help but feel suspicious.


    Little brother, are you sure you''ve seen Li Xie in this forest? The leading Martial Cultivator rushed in front of Li Xie, instantly causing him to stop in his tracks.


    "Ugh ¡­" To tell you the truth, I am actually an idiot. I don''t know if I had met Li Xie in this forest or not. Li Xie said apologetically.


    The leading Martial Cultivator glared at them like an angry tiger, blood flowing like a river from his mouth.


    Smelly brat, you better not play any tricks with me! My knife is very sharp! The mouth of the leading Martial Cultivator twitched as he shouted.


    Brother, maybe he and Li Xie are partners after all!


    Right, let''s chop off his hands first and see if he dares to lie!


    At this moment, the Martial Cultivator surrounding Li Xie all had green light shining in their eyes.


    As long as the leading Martial Cultivator gave the order, they could immediately make Li Xie bleed on the spot!


    The leading Martial Cultivator said with a cold smile. He seemed to have seen the panic in Li Xie''s eyes, and it was much more real than the time at the inn.


    Why are you guys looking for Li Xie? Li Xie glanced at the Martial Cultivator beside him and asked.


    I heard that Li Xie just obtained a Divine Weapon, of course we want to see the glory of that Divine Weapon! The leading Martial Cultivator said.


    Li Xie frowned, how did this group of Martial Cultivator find out about this news?


    Song Zhongping was already an old man, but the Wang brothers and Sun Pei did not seem like they would sell him out.


    "Whiz!"


    The corners of the leading Martial Cultivator''s mouth twitched. He raised his blade and once again placed it on Li Xie''s shoulder.


    Smelly brat, I''ll give you one last chance! The leading Martial Cultivator said coldly.


    You don''t need to look for me, because I am Li Xie! Li Xie said calmly.


    The leading Martial Cultivator kept the blade on Li Xie''s shoulder, and circled around Li Xie.


    When he stopped walking, his face was extremely hideous.


    Stinky brat, since you want to die so much, I''ll grant your wish! Just as he finished speaking, the leading Martial Cultivator swung his blade towards Li Xie''s neck.


    Swift as lightning, Li Xie leaped into the air, and then landed behind the leading Martial Cultivator.


    The leading Martial Cultivator immediately turned around and glared at Li Xie. He infused wave after wave of Elemental Energy into the blade in his hand, the blade edge radiating cold light.


    The leading Martial Cultivator waved his hand, and the Martial Cultivator next to him immediately surrounded Li Xie once again.


    Kill him!


    Under the orders of the leading Martial Cultivator, the surrounding Martial Cultivator immediately pounced towards Li Xie, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.


    "Whiz!" "Whiz!"


    The blade tips whistled by Li Xie''s ears, if he was even a little bit slower, he would have been cut to death by the blades.


    The Martial Cultivator s surrounding Li Xie were extremely excited, the veins on their arms bulging.


    Just then, the leading Martial Cultivator raised his blade and descended from the sky, and then slashed down towards Li Xie''s head.


    The other Martial Cultivator s that were surrounding and attacking Li Xie did not stay idle either, all of them slashing towards Li Xie''s vital points.


    At the moment of life and death, Li Xie raised the corner of his mouth, and the Nine Souls Sword rushed out of the sword sheath and landed in his hands.


    Li Xie then sent a wave of Elemental Energy into the Nine Souls Sword, causing it to reveal its sharpness.


    Ha! Brother, this brat seems to be beginning his counterattack!


    Humph! It was just an embroidered pillow!


    Clang!


    The leading Martial Cultivator was shocked, his full-powered strike had actually been blocked by Li Xie.


    The leader''s mouth twitched, and he immediately sent waves of Elemental Energy into the blade in his hand.


    At this moment, the leading Martial Cultivator had already gone completely crazy.


    Die! The leading Martial Cultivator roared, his voice resounding across the forest.


    "Whiz!"


    The leading Martial Cultivator turned pale with fright. The blade in his hand actually cracked, and it became even more powerful.


    He quickly put away his saber and retreated quickly. His forehead was already dripping with sweat.


    Hiss! Hiss!


    The of the Nine Souls Sword rushed out, rushing towards the surrounding Martial Cultivator s.


    Ah ¡­


    Miserable screams resounded in the air one after another, and the Martial Cultivator s fell to the ground in unbearable pain.


    When the voice of the Sword Qi gradually faded, aside from Li Xie, only the leading Martial Cultivator was still standing.


    The leading Martial Cultivator smiled at Li Xie, but he no longer had the aura he previously had.


    Young man, who are you? The leading Martial Cultivator asked politely.


    I am the one you are looking for, my name is Li Xie. Li Xie replied casually.


    What! Are you really Li Xie? The leading Martial Cultivator exclaimed.


    Yes, I am Li Xie. Li Xie said.


    Plop ¡­


    The leading Martial Cultivator kneeled down to the ground, trembling uncontrollably.


    Li Xie quickly walked in front of the leading Martial Cultivator and stared into his eyes.


    The leading Martial Cultivator immediately lowered his head, and even his breathing became more careful.


    Tell me, who sent you to find me? Li Xie asked in a low voice.

 C73

    Under Li Xie''s attentive gaze, the eyes of the leading Martial Cultivator flickered a little.


    After hesitating for a long time, the leading Martial Cultivator lowered his head, as though he had already made his decision.


    This cannot be said. The leading Martial Cultivator mustered up the courage to look up at Li Xie and said.


    Oh, it seems that the identity of your people is not simple! Li Xie said.


    Young Master Li, please let me go, as long as I am alive, I will be your slave! The leading Martial Cultivator frowned and said.


    Swoosh!


    The head Martial Cultivator immediately fainted, his Martial Veins were in a mess.


    Li Xie kept the Nine Souls Sword and turned around to return to the town. He did not want to waste this beautiful night in this pitch black forest.


    As for the other Martial Cultivator s who were lying on the ground, they were handed over to the Strange Beast s in the forest to deal with.


    Several hours later, as the sky brightened, Li Xie left the inn that was in the vicinity of the town early in the morning.


    When Li Xie arrived at the Gemini Temple, it was already very close to noon.


    Standing on the Twin Bow, Li Xie constantly looked around.


    The Twin Towers was rather desolate, without any bright buildings. There was only a shabby thatched cottage around him.


    The grass hut still had a bit of heat left behind by the flames, so it was likely that someone must have been living in the grass hut last night.


    There were not many trees on the Twin Towers, so tall and short weeds could be seen everywhere.


    The wind was blowing from all directions, and the tall, short weeds swayed with the rhythm of the wind, like a river flowing eastward.


    Li Xie couldn''t help but raise his eyebrows, because he didn''t see Su Cheng''s figure.


    With Su Cheng''s personality, he was definitely not the type of person to go back on his words.


    Could it be that Su Cheng encountered some sort of danger? Thinking about that, Li Xie started walking down the mountain.


    The incident that happened last night in the small town echoed in Li Xie''s mind, making his thoughts become a little heavy.


    Brother Li!


    Li Xie''s footsteps came to a sudden halt. He turned around and saw that he was about ten steps away from him. Su Cheng was standing there.


    Li Xie turned and cupped his fists towards Su Cheng. After a few days of not seeing him, Su Cheng seemed to have lost weight.


    But the aura from Su Cheng''s body did not change, it was not revealing, but filled with confidence.


    Brother Li, I have been waiting for you here for a long time. Su Cheng said.


    Oh, then why can''t I see you just now? Li Xie asked.


    That''s because I was just practicing martial arts on the other side of the Twin Towers. Su Cheng said calmly.


    Prince Su, did you get the other half of the Soul Drinking Blade''s Blade Soul in Eastwood Town? Li Xie asked.


    Yes, I presume that you have also obtained half of the blade spirit of the Soul Drinking Blade in the Spirit Wind Mountain Range. Su Cheng said.


    Li Xie quickly walked towards Su Cheng. He wanted to see the elegance of the other half of the Soul Drinking Blade.


    The closer he got to Su Cheng, the more intense the voice of the Soul Drinking Blade Blade Soul on his back became.


    This voice was something only Li Xie could hear. Other people couldn''t hear it no matter how close they were to him.


    Li Xie, it''s not impossible for you to become my master!


    Humph! I''m not interested in you!


    I will be frank with you. As long as you kill Su Cheng, I will acknowledge you as my master! Because my master must be a peerless expert!


    Li Xie clenched his right fist tightly as he struggled to restore his calm.


    The voice of the Soul Drinking Blade Blade Soul was very loud, causing Li Xie to feel as if his head was about to explode.


    Su Cheng calmly looked at Li Xie, he had already noticed the change in his expression.


    Not long later, Li Xie was standing beside Su Cheng, but the voice of the Soul Drinking Blade Blade Soul on his back continued.


    Brother Li, you don''t look right. Su Cheng looked at Li Xie and said.


    Young Noble Su, take out the other half of Blade Soul in your hands and open my eyes! Li Xie said to Su Cheng.


    The corner of Su Cheng''s mouth raised, and then his left hand went into his right sleeve.


    Just as Li Xie was focusing on Su Cheng''s sleeves, all of a sudden, Su Cheng opened his eyes wide, and a curved blade suddenly appeared behind him, chopping down towards Li Xie''s back.


    Fortunately, Li Xie''s reaction was quick, he turned his body and let the curved blade pass by his shoulder.


    Su Cheng took the chance and grabbed the curved blade tightly, his mouth revealing a sinister smile.


    Just a moment ago, he was able to send Li Xie to hell, but unfortunately, he missed by a thousand miles by a hair''s breadth.


    Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!


    Su Cheng swung the curved blade in his hand towards Li Xie''s fatal point, one blade was even more ruthless than the other.


    He had already failed once, he would not allow himself to fail a second time.


    Li Xie retreated back, and instantly opened up a distance between him and Su Cheng, without any hesitation.


    Li Xie looked at the current Su Cheng, and was suddenly enlightened.


    You aren''t Su Cheng at all, who exactly are you? Li Xie asked harshly!


    Humph! On the account that you are about to die in my hands, I am a soft-hearted person who does not want you to die in an unknown manner. Let me tell you, I am called Xie Dun! Right after he finished, Su Cheng turned in a circle, and he regained his original appearance.


    Acknowledgement? Just where did this man come from, at this time, Li Xie had no clue.


    The scimitar in Xie Zhong''s hand was at least a mid-grade Heaven-grade weapon.


    Xie Kui calmly looked at Li Xie, everything was within his grasp.


    Where is Prince Su now? Li Xie''s face was gloomy as he asked.


    Don''t worry, he won''t die in front of you! Xie Duty spoke coldly.


    Say it, or I''ll kill you now! Li Xie shouted.


    Humph! Right now, you are like a clay buddha crossing a river, unable to save yourself! The corner of Xie Jie''s mouth twitched as he replied.


    Li Xie''s mouth formed a smile, and then he raised his Nine Souls Sword and rushed towards Xie Kui.


    Xie Zhong waved his scimitar at Li Xie, the scimitar in his hand was called the Sky Imperial Blade!


    With the blade held tightly in his hand, it was like adding wings to a tiger.


    In his eyes, Li Xie was nothing more than a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, as he could not bring up too much of a storm.


    When...


    Xie Xiang''s blade strike was extremely powerful, the force behind his slash was unleashed again and again, forcing Li Xie to be exhausted.


    All of this was witnessed by Xie Guan, and the blood in his body boiled with excitement.


    Ah!


    After shouting out explosively, Xie Zhong rose into the air and slashed towards Li Xie''s head.


    Li Xie raised his Nine Souls Sword, followed by the sound of the Nine Souls Sword and the Sky Imperial Blade clashing.


    Xie Kui frowned and pressed down on the blade with his eyebrows, attempting to cut Li Xie and the sword in his hands into two!


    How could Li Xie let him do as he pleased? He suddenly retracted the Nine Souls Sword and turned to stab at Xie Kui''s chest, forcing him to retreat.


    When Xie Kui steadied his steps, the killing intent in his eyes grew stronger.


    The corner of Xie Jie''s mouth twitched, and took the chance to quickly pounce towards Li Xie.


    Clang!


    Like a full moon, Xie Zhen slashed the blade in his hand towards Li Xie''s heart.


    As long as Li Xie was a little bit slower, what awaited him would be fresh blood!


    Li Xie''s feet touched the ground, and he instantly rose into the air, his sword piercing towards Xie Zhen''s neck.


    Xie Kui raised his eyebrows, then raised his blade.


    Bang!


    It was as if the sky had fallen and the earth had split open. The ground beneath his feet had already cracked open several times.


    Xie Kui clenched his teeth, he then raised the blade upwards, causing the blade to fly straight towards Li Xie''s heart.


    Hiss! Hiss!


    Li Xie brandished the Nine Souls Sword, causing all the blades that were charging towards him to be shattered.

 C74

    Xie Zhen gasped, he did not expect Li Xie to be so hard to deal with.


    But even so, Xie Kui did not think that Li Xie could escape from his grasp! He was only breathing!


    Li Xie, don''t you want to know where Su Cheng is? Xie Dai roared.


    Li Xie kept his Nine Souls Sword and landed on the ground. He stared at Xie Kui with a gloomy face, his eyes cold and bone-piercing.


    All of a sudden, Xie Zhen''s figure flashed and appeared behind Li Xie.


    Just as Li Xie turned his head, the cold light of the blade made him unable to open his eyes.


    Hiss!


    The blade howled past, Li Xie had no time to dodge, his back was already dyed red with blood.


    Xie Kui stepped on the ground for a second, then raised his leg and kicked Li Xie to the ground.


    Li Xie stood up shakily. At this moment, his vision was in a trance.


    Bang!


    Just as Xie Zhen turned around and arrived in front of Li Xie, he raised his elbow and smashed into Li Xie''s chest, causing Li Xie to fall down once again.


    After Li Xie landed on the ground, he fainted before he even had time to get up.


    Their plan had already reached its most critical moment.


    He didn''t know how much time had passed, but when Li Xie woke up, he found himself in a dark and damp cave. There wasn''t enough sunlight or fresh air.


    The wound on his back was still hurting, causing Li Xie to have no choice but to slowly stand up.


    He looked around. This dark and damp cave was quite spacious. Not far away, there were tables and stools piled with rocks.


    There were moss growing stubbornly on the walls of the cave, as if there was water under the cave.


    The cave was very empty, Li Xie could even hear the sound of his own breathing.


    Li Xie glanced at his own back and something shocking happened. After he fainted, the Blade Soul of half of the Soul Drinking Blade on his back actually hid inside the Nine Souls Sword.


    Divine weapons were truly intelligent. It didn''t want anyone else to get close to it, there were many ways to deal with it.


    Li Xie heaved a long sigh of relief, and then walked along the cave path towards a place with slightly more light.


    No matter what kind of place was in front of the cave, Li Xie would still go and investigate.


    Li Xie, Su Cheng is close to you!


    Just then, the voice of the Soul Drinking Blade Blade Soul intruded into Li Xie''s ears.


    Li Xie unconsciously creased his eyebrows, and his steps began to hesitate.


    But Li Xie quickly firmed his heart, and continued to walk forward.


    After a while, Li Xie arrived at the most dazzling place in the cave, as though it was a room in a grand family''s courtyard.


    There were bookcases, tables and chairs, and even a warm bed.


    When Li Xie stopped in his tracks, Su Cheng had already turned around to look at him.


    With regards to Li Xie''s sudden appearance, Su Cheng was not surprised at all.


    Su Cheng walked quickly to the front of Li Xie, then cupped his fists and bowed to Li Xie. After not seeing him for a few days, he could tell that Li Xie''s Martial Cultivator Realm had improved.


    Su Cheng sighed to himself inwardly that other than him, there was actually another young Martial Cultivator with outstanding talent in East Qin Kingdom.


    Li Xie replied to Su Cheng with a bow, as though thanking him for being so courteous to him.


    There weren''t any traces of injuries on Su Cheng''s body. Furthermore, it allowed him to live in such a good place, so his mental state seemed to be very good as well.


    Sigh, Brother Li, it seems like we have been tricked! Su Cheng sighed and said.


    Could it be that you heard my thousand-mile sound transmission and came over here? Li Xie frowned and asked.


    Yes, you must have heard my Thousand Li Transmission Technique. Su Cheng said.


    Li Xie fell into deep thought as he wondered who had set up this trap.


    The person who set up the trap was definitely not reprimanding his position. He was just a chess piece in that person''s hands. Furthermore, the person who set up the trap definitely had an extremely powerful force.


    When Li Xie came out from his deep thoughts, his eyes became much brighter.


    No matter who set this trap, he would charge forward bravely!


    Ah!


    What''s wrong, Prince Su?


    Su Cheng felt a headache coming on, he staggered a few steps back, and his entire body started to twist.


    Just then, the other half of the Soul Drinking Blade''s Blade Soul appeared beside Su Cheng.


    The blade spirit of the Soul Drinking Blade circled Su Cheng like a bird, then lightly landed on Su Cheng''s shoulder.


    In an instant, the blade spirit of the Soul Drinking Blade turned into a wisp of smoke and coiled around Su Cheng''s hand. At this moment, Su Cheng was no longer able to completely control his own body.


    Beside Su Cheng''s ears, the voice of the Soul Drinking Blade Blade Soul was affecting him.


    When he turned his gaze to Li Xie once again, his eyes were filled with killing intent.


    Li Xie took a deep breath, from the looks of it, the other half of the Soul Drinking Blade''s Blade Soul was persuading Su Cheng to kill him!


    Su Cheng! You can''t let yourself be controlled by the Soul Drinking Blade''s Blade Soul! Li Xie roared at Su Cheng.


    Su Cheng said with a cold smile. What Li Xie had just said was laughable to him.


    Kill him quickly! Don''t be silly, he is no longer the Su Cheng of the past!


    The other half of the Soul Drinking Blade Blade Soul rushed out and hovered above Li Xie.


    Li Xie looked up, the Soul Drinking Blade''s Blade Soul seemed to be worried.


    Don''t doubt it, I''m really doing it for your own good, not to make use of you!


    Li Xie slowly closed his eyes, he wanted to stabilize his emotions as soon as possible.


    The Blade Soul of the Soul Drinking Blade above Li Xie was still trying to persuade him, trying to make Li Xie lose control of him.


    Su Cheng walked towards Li Xie step by step, and what followed after was a burst of killing intent pouncing towards Li Xie, causing Li Xie to have no choice but to open his eyes.


    Su Cheng''s eyes were already red, like a ferocious beast.


    Ah!" Fast... Kill me! I don''t want to become a puppet in the hands of the Soul Drinking Blade! Su City stopped, gritted his teeth and said to Li Xie.


    Here''s your chance. Hurry up and make your move!


    The Blade Soul of the Soul Drinking Blade hovering above Li Xie spoke out again. Under its indication, the Nine Souls Sword took the initiative to rush out of its scabbard.


    Li Xie opened his right hand, allowing the Nine Souls Sword to descend, and it just so happened to fall into his hand.


    Su Cheng stared at Li Xie with unbearable pain, his back was already bent like an old man.


    Stop hesitating and quickly kill me. I can''t control myself anymore! Su Cheng shouted at Li Xie with all his might.


    Li Xie furrowed his brows, as he walked step by step in front of Su Cheng.


    At this moment, Su Cheng''s forehead was full of sweat, his entire face was twisted, completely devoid of the graceful bearing of the number one young master of the nine great families.


    Su Cheng tilted his head to look at Li Xie, and the corner of his mouth quirked up into a tragic smile.


    Li Xie had never seen this kind of appearance. Su Cheng was simply not like a human, or a ghost!


    Ah!" Since you won''t kill me, then I''ll kill you! With a roar, Su Cheng was like a fierce tiger rushing towards Li Xie.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    The blade spirit of the Soul Drinking Blade immediately returned to its original form, and Su Cheng held it in his hand.


    Su Cheng swung the Soul Drinking Blade towards Li Xie, and just like a huge wave, it directly flipped Li Xie over.


    Just as Li Xie was about to stand up, Su Cheng rushed forward and kicked his abdomen, instantly sending him flying out.


    It was only until he smashed a hole into the cave wall that Li Xie was able to roll to the side. At this moment, Li Xie''s stomach was in a tumble.


    Li Xie pushed himself off the ground with his left hand and slowly stood up.


    Su Cheng shot a cold smile at Li Xie. Even though Li Xie''s cultivation level had already risen, he was still quite a distance away from him.


    Li Xie was still in the middle level of the Origin realm and he was already at the lower level of the Burning Realm.


    Bang!

 C75

    Su Cheng jumped up, and took the opportunity to merge the other half of the Soul Drinking Blade''s Blade Soul with the one in his hand!


    Even though Li Xie was inside the cave, he could still hear the sounds of thunder and lightning outside the cave!


    Boom!


    When the Soul Drinking Blade''s soul blades merged into one, the dark and damp cave instantly became golden and dazzling!


    Su Cheng landed steadily on the ground with his heels, then raised the Soul Drinking Blade high up in the air.


    A Divine Weapon was a Divine Weapon. Clenching it tightly in one''s hand, it was as though it possessed the strength to fight against the Heavens.


    Su Cheng was extremely excited, he had not experienced this kind of feeling for many years.


    When Su Cheng looked at Li Xie again, the Nine Souls Sword in his hands trembled a few times.


    Li Xie frowned, this was the first time he felt that the Nine Souls Sword had such a huge reaction.


    However, even if they were facing off against divine weapons, Li Xie did not think that he would be defeated without a doubt.


    Li Xie, your death is imminent! Su Cheng coldly said to Li Xie.


    Are you still Su Cheng? Li Xie didn''t know why he asked that either.


    Humph! Of course I''m Su Cheng! Su Cheng said as the corner of his mouth rose.


    No, you are not Su Cheng. You have already lost yourself under the control of the Soul Drinking Blade! Li Xie shouted.


    I don''t want to talk nonsense with you, I just want you dead right now! Su Cheng jumped up and swung the Soul Drinking Blade towards Li Xie''s head.


    The Soul Drinking Blade in Su Cheng''s hands emitted cold lights, like a group of fierce tigers baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.


    Su Cheng''s eyes narrowed into a line, as if he could see Li Xie''s head drop to the ground in a miserable state.


    Right here, Su Cheng would use Li Xie''s blood to welcome the Soul Drinking Blade.


    Li Xie was also a Martial Cultivator with exceptional talent, but he was a carefully chosen sacrifice for the Soul Drinking Blade.


    Once Li Xie was killed, the divine weapon would truly recognize him as its master.


    Boom!


    In the instant when the Nine Souls Sword and the Soul Drinking Blade collided, the entire cave instantly shook, and pieces of broken rocks rolled on the ground.


    Su Cheng raised his eyebrows, he did not expect Li Xie to actually be able to block the Soul Drinking Blade''s attack.


    Su Cheng laughed wickedly. The more Li Xie surprised him, the happier he would be.


    In all these years, there had not been a single person who could cause Su Cheng to go all out.


    Su Cheng believed that he himself was a strong Ranker, and that when the strong Ranker walked forward, there would definitely be many bones in the way.


    Clang!


    Su Cheng kept his Soul Drinking Blade and quickly slashed at Li Xie''s abdomen.


    Li Xie dropped the Nine Souls Sword down. Even though it was blocking in front of the Soul Drinking Blade, he still could not control his own footsteps and retreated a few steps.


    If the cave did not change its appearance, there would be a hard stone wall behind Li Xie.


    Su Cheng waved his Soul Drinking Blade and once again rushed to Li Xie''s front, taking the chance to chop off the Soul Drinking Blade towards Li Xie''s heart.


    Li Xie turned his body while holding the Nine Souls Sword, allowing the Soul Drinking Blade to pass by him.


    The corner of Su Cheng''s mouth twitched. How could he let Li Xie slip away from the palms of his hands?


    Su Cheng would let Li Xie crawl under his and the Soul Drinking Blade''s feet, and from then on, his confidence would completely disappear.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    Su Cheng slashed the Soul Drinking Blade towards Li Xie''s neck with enough force to split a mountain and shatter rocks!


    Li Xie anxiously turned and moved behind Su Cheng, his sword thrusting towards Su Cheng''s back, fast as lightning.


    Boom!


    In the blink of an eye, without waiting for the Nine Souls Sword to approach Su Cheng''s back, Su Cheng had already turned around and swung the Soul Drinking Blade towards Li Xie.


    Just as the Nine Souls Sword was about to clash with the Soul Drinking Blade again, Li Xie''s arm got numb.


    Su Cheng took the chance and continued to wave his Soul Drinking Blade forward. He would not let Li Xie struggle for too long.


    Li Xie frowned as he sprinkled the Nine Souls Sword s. Su Cheng and the Soul Drinking Blade in his hands were extremely strong, so Li Xie decided to give a strong response.


    Clang! Clang!


    Every time a Nine Souls Sword and a Soul Drinking Blade collided, the ground of the cave would tremble and the mountains would crack. The stones on top of the cave would fall apart, piece by piece.


    Su Cheng activated all the Elemental Energy in his body. Even if he had to exhaust all the Elemental Energy s today, he would not let Li Xie see the sun tomorrow.


    This was Su Cheng. Normally, he would not attack at all, but once he did, he would definitely attack at full strength.


    Moreover, Su Cheng had already experienced Li Xie''s strength, he did not allow Li Xie to continue growing.


    Boom!


    Su Cheng raised his Soul Drinking Blade and descended from the sky.


    The Soul Drinking Blade started to burn in Su Cheng''s hands, becoming even more murderous.


    No matter whether it was Su Cheng''s eyes or the Soul Drinking Blade''s, he looked extremely like a demon that had just rushed out of hell!


    Bang!


    It was as fast as lightning. When Li Xie regained consciousness, he was already lying on top of a pile of shattered rocks.


    He looked around, the ground was covered with traces of Soul Drinking Blade s having wreaked havoc.


    And at this time, Su Cheng was walking towards him, the flames of the Soul Drinking Blade in Su Cheng''s hands were still rising higher and higher!


    Li Xie struggled to stand up from the rubble. He looked at his arms, which were already covered in wounds.


    The Su Cheng in front of him reminded Li Xie of the Devil Monarch;


    The Soul Drinking Blade in Su Cheng''s hand did not seem to have any flaws, but even so, Li Xie was still full of fighting spirit!


    Boom!


    A stream of flames that carried a killing intent pounced towards Li Xie. Li Xie leaped and dodged the flames, but the stone wall behind him was badly mutilated.


    Su Cheng leaped up, and instantly arrived in front of Li Xie, slashing towards Li Xie''s chest with the Soul Drinking Blade.


    Li Xie then scattered the Nine Souls Sword forward, causing it to emit flames that returned to him without any success.


    With a glare, he threw the Soul Drinking Blade down, and it immediately flipped over the ground under Li Xie''s feet.


    Li Xie walked behind Su Cheng with the Nine Souls Sword in his hand. Just as Li Xie stopped in his tracks, a number of flames had already pounced towards him.


    Li Xie sealed the Nine Souls Sword''s movements tightly and allowed the Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi to pour out.


    Bang! Bang!


    The overflowing Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi and the flames pouncing towards Li Xie merged together, turning the shattered stones on the ground into powder.


    Just at this time, Xie Kui suddenly appeared behind Li Xie, and at the same time, he fiercely slashed towards Li Xie''s back.


    The blade howled, like a Strange Beast baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.


    Li Xie bent over and the blade in Xie Zhen''s hand brushed past his cheek.


    Just as Xie Kui was about to cut down on the blade, the Sword Qi whistled out and instantly pierced through his chest.


    The blood had already dyed his body red, and the Elemental Energy in his body was dissipating.


    How was this possible! Not long ago, on Gemini Temple, he and Li Xie were on par for each other.


    Swoosh!


    Clang!


    Following the severing of his martial arts vein, the blade he held tightly fell to the ground.


    Li Xie glared, thanking him as though he had been struck in the chest by a boulder, and he flew out abruptly.


    When he landed, his eyes were completely empty.


    As he died, the blade in his hand also lost its color.


    From then on, the blade was just an ordinary weapon.


    Li Xie turned and looked at Su Cheng again. He saw some clues in Su Cheng''s eyes.


    Just now, he was only slightly suspicious. Now, he was certain that all of this was actually a trap, a trap meticulously prepared for him.


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth raised slightly. He was very glad that he was still alive, even though he had fallen into a trap.


    Li Xie, what are you laughing at? Su Cheng asked with interest.


    Prince Su, I didn''t expect you to be so cunning! Li Xie sighed.


    Su Cheng couldn''t help but raise his eyebrows, as if he had already understood something.

 C76

    But so what, in front of his own absolute strength, Su Cheng was sure that Li Xie could only die and understand a little more.


    This was the truth, and an extremely cruel one at that.


    Li Xie, do we still need to be crafty and insidious to deal with you? Su Cheng said coldly.


    In fact, your mind was not even controlled by the Soul Drinking Blade! Li Xie said.


    The corner of Su Cheng''s mouth rose. Li Xie was smarter than he thought.


    The more it was like this, the faster Su Cheng wanted to send Li Xie to the west!


    Similarly, the Soul Drinking Blade could not wait any longer. It wanted to taste the blood in Li Xie''s body as soon as possible!


    Boom!


    In the blink of an eye, Su Cheng had already arrived in front of Li Xie and swung the Soul Drinking Blade in his direction.


    At this moment, Su Cheng had already activated all the Elemental Energy in his body.


    Even if Su Cheng wanted to flip the entire cave over, it wasn''t impossible.


    Clang! Clang!


    When the Nine Souls Sword collided with the Soul Drinking Blade, sparks blossomed, and each flower was even more gorgeous than the last.


    Su Cheng glared, and the Soul Drinking Blade in his hands became even more ferocious.


    The Soul Drinking Blade was a divine weapon, so it naturally had its own intelligence. It kept attacking the Nine Souls Sword in an attempt to shatter it.


    Su Cheng poured a wave of Elemental Energy into it, and the flames of the Soul Drinking Blade grew even more intense.


    The flames crawled along the Nine Souls Sword and headed towards Li Xie, attempting to burn him to ashes in one go.


    Li Xie took advantage of this and rose into the air, causing the flames on his body to gradually extinguish.


    Su Cheng saw all of these, he could not accept that Li Xie was actually unharmed under the attacks of the Soul Drinking Blade flames.


    Su Cheng leapt into the air, taking the opportunity to swing his Soul Drinking Blade towards Li Xie once more, with the momentum of a hot knife through butter!


    Bang


    Following the end of the explosion, Li Xie fell into the stone wall behind him.


    At this time, Li Xie''s entire body was burning in pain, all of these were bestowed to him by the Soul Drinking Blade.


    The of a Nine Souls Sword was not worth mentioning to the Soul Drinking Blade, so it was even more impossible to approach Su Cheng.


    What Old Daoist Suifeng said was all true. Maybe the Soul Drinking Blade had descended into the mortal realm for the sake of the Nine Souls Sword.


    Su Cheng rushed towards Li Xie while holding the Soul Drinking Blade. He could feel that there were not many Elemental Energy left in Li Xie''s body.


    Su Cheng was sure that Li Xie was only hanging onto it with one breath, and would not be able to recover in the next moment!


    Boom!


    Once again, the Soul Drinking Blade collided with the Nine Souls Sword, and the cave trembled.


    Su Cheng''s mouth twitched, he heard the sound of Li Xie''s rapid breathing.


    Even though Li Xie had outstanding talent, Su Cheng still felt that there was a large gap between them. After all, he was Su Cheng, and his reputation had already spread far and wide across the entire East Qin Kingdom.


    Su Cheng lowered the Soul Drinking Blade down, doing his best to increase its sharpness.


    For so many years, only Li Xie had been able to make Su Cheng want to put him to death!


    Su Cheng laughed coldly, the Soul Drinking Blade in his hand twitched continuously, and started to bite at it.


    Squeak...


    Li Xie looked down and was shocked. A crack actually appeared on the Nine Souls Sword in his hand.


    Li Xie immediately retracted his Nine Souls Sword, and in the blink of an eye, increased the distance between him and Su Cheng.


    Just as he stopped in his tracks, Su Cheng waved his Soul Drinking Blade and descended fiercely from the sky!


    Clang!


    Haha!


    Li Xie retreated quickly, the Nine Souls Sword in his hands had already collapsed!


    When Li Xie stopped, the Nine Souls Sword''s sword hilt had already turned into ashes.


    Su Cheng walked towards Li Xie step by step. In his eyes, Li Xie who had lost his Nine Souls Sword was probably worse than a tiger that had no teeth.


    He was just thinking how he should torture Li Xie.


    The entire cave instantly quieted down, and the sound of Su Cheng''s footsteps reverberated throughout the cave.


    When Su Cheng walked in front of Li Xie, he raised the Soul Drinking Blade and pointed it at Li Xie''s chest.


    Now, Su Cheng felt that as long as he moved his pinky, Li Xie would be reduced to ashes. Unfortunately, he did not see the despair in Li Xie''s eyes.


    It was as if Li Xie didn''t know what was called despair, and Su Cheng felt that it was necessary to let Li Xie learn what was called despair, only then wouldn''t he have wasted his time in the mortal world.


    There was a time when Su Cheng wanted to become true friends with Li Xie, but when he thought back to it now, he felt that it was really laughable.


    Young Noble Su, you and the Soul Drinking Blade are indeed compatible! Li Xie sighed.


    Sorry, the Nine Souls Sword that is compatible with you has already turned into ashes, but you don''t have to worry, I will send you there to accompany the Nine Souls Sword as soon as possible! Su Cheng said with a tone full of benevolence.


    Li Xie smiled faintly. He naturally would not accept Su Cheng''s kind intentions.


    Prince Su, I never thought that we would reach such a point where we have to fight to the death. Li Xie said.


    En, so you lost today. You lost very thoroughly, I have always believed in making the first move to gain the upper hand! Su Cheng said with a smile.


    Li Xie shook his head, it was rumored that the low-key, yet righteous, Young Master Su Cheng Su was actually like this.


    Li Xie was very disappointed. He would rather never see Su Cheng, Young Master Su.


    Su Cheng raised his eyebrows. He saw disappointment in Li Xie''s eyes, but he did not know why Li Xie was disappointed.


    Young Master Li, do you still have any unfulfilled wishes? Su Cheng asked.


    I have no unfulfilled wishes, because I am still alive! Li Xie replied.


    Heh! Then I''ll remove your arm first! With that said, Su Cheng raised his Soul Drinking Blade and descended towards Li Xie''s right arm.


    As fast as lightning, Li Xie turned to the side, and the Soul Drinking Blade brushed past his shoulder!


    Su Cheng turned his face and stared at Li Xie, to his astonishment, he discovered that the Elemental Energy in Li Xie''s body was showing signs of reviving.


    What was going on? Su Cheng didn''t have time to think it through.


    Su Cheng swung the Soul Drinking Blade s at Li Xie''s vitals one by one. He had already given up on the thought of torturing Li Xie.


    Right now, he only wanted Li Xie to stop breathing, no matter what!


    Li Xie dodged and dodged, time and time again he avoided the Soul Drinking Blade in Su Cheng''s hands.


    However, his body was already covered in wounds, and blood had already dyed his clothes red.


    Su Cheng brandished the Soul Drinking Blade, and the thousand holes in the cave became even more tormented.


    Stop running Li Xie, hurry up and die! Death is release for you! Su Cheng''s mouth twitched as he shouted.


    The cold light of the Soul Drinking Blade pierced into Li Xie''s eyes, preventing him from opening his eyes.


    Su Cheng took the chance and rushed to Li Xie''s front, swinging the Soul Drinking Blade downwards!


    At this moment of life and death, the Purple Radiant Primordial Fire in Li Xie''s body opened its eyes!


    Swift as lightning, Li Xie turned around to avoid the Soul Drinking Blade.


    Su Cheng raised an eyebrow, he did not even manage to see clearly how Li Xie escaped death just now!


    Su Cheng anxiously turned around and brandished his Soul Drinking Blade, once again charging towards Li Xie, his killing intent soaring, at this moment, Su Cheng''s eyes were already red.


    You don''t even have a sword in your hand, what''s the point of continuing to struggle? Su Cheng said coldly.


    Who says I don''t have a sword! Before he finished speaking, Li Xie opened his right hand, and a strong light fell from the sky into his grasp.


    When the strong light dissipated, the shining Nine Souls Sword had returned!


    How was this possible! Su Cheng exclaimed.


    As long as I am alive, the Nine Souls Sword will not die! Li Xie roared.


    So what! In the end, you''re not my opponent! Su Cheng roared.


    Infuriated!


    Like a violent storm, waves after waves of Sword Qi blotted out the sky as they all rushed towards Su Cheng!


    Su Cheng''s eyes were wide opened, he had never seen such a powerful Sword Qi!


    He waved the Soul Drinking Blade to his heart''s content, allowing the fierce flames to pounce towards the Sword Qi.

 C77

    However, the flames released by the Soul Drinking Blade were quickly drowned by the overwhelming Sword Qi and not a single trace was left.


    Su Cheng waved his Soul Drinking Blade and rushed forward. He did not believe that the Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi could stop the Divine Weapon in his hand!


    Today, no matter if it was Li Xie or the Nine Souls Sword, Su Cheng wanted them all to turn into ashes!


    In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Sword Qi surrounded Su Cheng!


    Su Cheng had no choice but to stop in his tracks and look around with furrowed brows.


    The situation had quickly turned and completely exceeded his expectations.


    At that moment, he could only hear the sound of Sword Qi galloping, and under the encirclement of the Sword Qi, he was even more unable to determine where Li Xie was.


    Su Cheng did not panic, he held onto the Soul Drinking Blade tightly and waved!


    Even though he was already at a disadvantage, Su Cheng was still the prideful number one Young Master of the Nine Families!


    Boom!


    Like a tsunami, the ground under Su Cheng''s feet was lifted up by a few layers, causing dust to fly everywhere.


    Su Cheng channeled the Elemental Energy at his feet, but it was still uprooted.


    Su Cheng''s vision had already blurred, his entire body falling backwards, a sense of helplessness surging through his mind.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Su Cheng clenched his teeth. Even though the Sword Qi had left many wounds on his body, he did not scream out in pain.


    He believed that he was the pride of the heavens, and the only one that could win in the end was him!


    Bang!


    As Su Cheng fell from the sky, his body was already covered in dust.


    What happened caused Su Cheng''s brows to knit even more tightly together, was that his right hand actually disobeyed his command, and wasn''t even able to move an inch.


    How did the situation become like this, Su Cheng gradually started to panic.


    Su Cheng really wanted to stand up, but his entire body was exhausted.


    Hundreds of Sword Qi s circled above Su Cheng, waiting for his orders, they could immediately turn him into ashes!


    But Li Xie did not do so, and sheathed the Nine Souls Sword back into its scabbard.


    As the Nine Souls Sword was put back into its scabbard, the power of the Rage Heavenly Art disappeared, and the Sword Qi also slowly disappeared.


    Li Xie quickly walked to Su Cheng''s side. At this moment, Su Cheng''s eyes contained no emotion at all.


    For someone as arrogant as Su Cheng, he would definitely not accept this fact.


    Li Xie, why didn''t you kill me in one go? Su Cheng glanced at Li Xie and asked.


    I want you to live. Li Xie said. He was not joking with Su Cheng.


    Su Cheng turned his face in disbelief, and stared at Li Xie, wanting to say something but stopping himself.


    In the past, he thought that he was the one who could think things through the most, but in reality, he wasn''t.


    He understood the meaning behind Li Xie''s words, he wanted to resist, but felt powerless.


    Li Xie quickly walked towards the cave''s exit. Under the Soul Drinking Blade''s wanton attack just now, the surrounding stone walls had already collapsed. The cave''s exit was already beckoning to him.


    He did not turn back to look. He knew what decision Su Cheng would make.


    As Li Xie walked into the cave, the sunlight outside was somewhat dazzling. He could not help but raise his arms to block the sunlight.


    After getting used to it, Li Xie put down his raised arm.


    Li Xie looked around, the ground under his feet was still the same as before, the gentle breeze was still lingering in his surroundings.


    Li Xie heaved a sigh of relief. He lifted his feet, preparing to leave the Twin Towers in big strides.


    At this time, Li Xie saw a familiar figure standing not too far away from him.


    He frowned, not surprised at her appearance this time.


    It was very likely that she had already waited outside the cave for a long time, and finally found out.


    She turned and looked at Li Xie, and then revealed a faint smile, this result was probably what she wanted to see.


    She was Miao Linger, and just as Li Xie had guessed, she had been waiting outside the Shuanggang Cave for a long time.


    She had heard the sounds of swords slashing through the cave just now. It had been extremely tragic.


    Miao Linger sized up Li Xie. The clothes on his body were already dyed red, and not a single part of his body was undamaged.


    Bang!


    Li Xie turned his head to look, the entire cave had collapsed, and Su Cheng was buried inside.


    Dust and dust filled the air above the collapsed cave, and wisps of black smoke were emitted.


    This was Su Cheng''s choice. He would rather die than have the face to return to the Zhong Yuan City.


    When Li Xie retracted his gaze, Miao Linger was already standing by his side.


    Li Xie turned his face and stared intently at Miao Linger. He felt that he basically did not know her properly, and he was even a little suspicious of whether the name Miao Linger was real or not.


    Even though Miao Linger did not look at Li Xie in the eyes, she could still guess what Li Xie was thinking at the moment.


    She could have walked away, but she chose the Twin Towers instead.


    Brother Li, just ask whatever you want to ask! Miao Linger said.


    Did you tell Su Cheng about the Divine Weapons? Li Xie asked.


    That''s right, I was the one who told it to Su Cheng, because he''s filled with interest towards these divine weapons! Miao Linger said. At this point in time, she no longer wanted to hide anything.


    What exactly are you doing this for? Li Xie asked.


    In fact, the moment you appeared in Zhong Yuan City, Su Cheng already wanted to kill you. However, when he found out that you had an exceptional heaven grade weapon in your hand, he chose to wait for the right time. Miao Linger said.


    After Li Xie finished listening to what Miao Linger had to say, he could not help but frown.


    It turned out that Su Cheng had other intentions when he invited him to search for his Divine Weapons.


    Not long ago, Su Cheng had even pretended that he was the puppet of the Soul Drinking Blade.


    Lady Miao, would you be disappointed when you saw me walk out of the cave alive? Li Xie looked at Miao Linger and asked.


    No, it''s just that I''m surprised that you''re not interested in divine weapons. Miao Linger said calmly.


    Since you''ve told me so much, can you tell me who your master is now? Li Xie asked. Actually, he had wanted to ask this question a long time ago.


    Well, in fact, my master is Patriarch Dongfang Liang of the Dongfang Family with Ziyang City! Miao Linger said.


    Dongfang Liang? Li Xie raised his eyebrows. To him, this was a familiar but very distant name.


    Looking at the nine great families of East Qin Kingdom, the Dongfang family was the strongest.


    Even the renowned Su Family paled slightly in comparison to the Dongfang family. If it wasn''t for Su Cheng, the gap between their Su Family and the Dongfang family''s would have been even wider.


    The nine great families had always been at odds with each other, just like the Ye Family and the Su Family.


    Miao Linger should have a high status in the Dongfang family. If she wanted to understand more about the Dongfang family, it would be a good shortcut through Miao Linger.


    Brother Li, you can begin! Miao Linger said resolutely.


    Make a move? What do you mean? Li Xie asked, full of suspicions.


    You must hate me for putting you in such dire straits time and time again! Miao Linger said.


    So what? I am still alive! Li Xie said.


    Suddenly, Miao Linger reached out for the Nine Souls Sword on Li Xie''s back that was in its scabbard.


    "Whiz!"


    The Nine Souls Sword rushed out of its scabbard, and in the blink of an eye, the Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi flashed past, causing Miao Linger''s neck to be smeared red.


    The Nine Souls Sword circled Li Xie and then fell into the sword sheath on Li Xie''s back.


    Miao Linger walked a few steps backwards, her face pale, and her life slowly flowing away.

 C78

    When Miao Linger stopped, she fell backwards!


    The moment she fell to the ground, Miao Linger smiled, a very relaxed and casual smile.


    To her, death was not the end, but a release.


    Lady Miao! Li Xie quickly ran behind Miao Linger and supported her.


    Miao Linger turned his face and forced a smile to his face, knowing Li Xie was something she had never expected.


    She was so tired now that she didn''t even have the strength to speak.


    Even so, she still tried to raise her hands to touch Li Xie''s face, but she couldn''t do it anymore.


    Slowly, Miao Linger closed her eyes, as if she had fallen into a sweet dream.


    Li Xie waited for a good while, until Miao Linger''s body was gradually turning cold.


    Li Xie laid Miao Linger down softly on the ground. Actually he did not hate Miao Linger, because Miao Linger was also just a chess piece in his hands.


    Now, to Miao Linger, she was free, she was no longer a chess piece in other people''s hands.


    This world was so cruel. Regardless of whether one was willing or not, there would always be people who wanted you to become a pawn in their hands.


    Perhaps the only way to control one''s fate was to make oneself stronger.


    At this time, a gentle breeze passed by, and Miao Linger''s body began to turn into wisps of smoke that scattered in the wind.


    The free Miao Linger was like a fairy. The wind would bring her to every corner of the Wind Execution Continent.


    Li Xie silently closed his eyes. Today was not a good day, and he had missed out on two of his friends.


    Two days later, on the busy street, Li Xie was walking forward amidst the crowd.


    Compared to Zhong Yuan City, Li Xie still had a deep impression of the flourishing of Ziyang City.


    There were countless of big streets and alleys in Ziyang City City but Li Xie had already walked for half a day and still could not complete his Ziyang City.


    The tavern business in Ziyang City City was bustling with activity. The guests all came from all over the world, and there were all sorts of people.


    Even if it was a sunny day, there would still be soldiers patrolling back and forth in Ziyang City City.


    The warriors of Ziyang City were all personally selected by the City Lord of Ziyang City. Even if they weren''t a dragon or phoenix amongst men, they were at least a hundred times out of a hundred.


    The master of the Ziyang City was called Dai An Shan, who was currently in his forties. It was said that he looked big and tall, but his thoughts were meticulous enough.


    Dai An Shan had already been the city master of Ziyang City for more than ten years, and the various forces had gotten along well with him.


    On behalf of An Shan, he even recognized the Dongfang family''s Patriarch Dongfang Liang as his elder brother, and would even frequently go to the Dongfang Mansion to ask Dongfang Liang for guidance.


    In the eyes of the crowd, Dai An Shan and the Dongfang family were already family.


    In the Ziyang City, the one with the greatest reputation was naturally Dongfang Liang, but Li Xie believed that the Eastern Young Master was something that could not be underestimated.


    Compared to the famous Su Cheng, the number one son of the Nine Great Families, the Su Cheng of the East did not seem much.


    As the sun set in the west, Li Xie felt that it was time to find a place to rest.


    Just then, an inn called Yi An barged into Li Xie''s line of sight.


    Li Xie walked into Suian An Inn in large strides. The atmosphere was extremely lively, enough to allow him to integrate further into his Ziyang City.


    The waiter of the SuiAn Inn quickly ran to Li Xie''s side and greeted him warmly.


    Li Xie gave him some silver and reserved a good room.


    The waiter of the Suian Inn kept the silver Li Xie gave him, he smiled and bowed as he walked towards the back.


    The business at the Suian Restaurant was quite good. There was only an empty seat in the corner.


    Li Xie walked towards an empty seat in the corner, but unexpectedly, a shadow flashed and caught up to him.


    When Li Xie reached there, the person who was in front of him was staring at him coldly.


    Li Xie looked at him a few times. He was a somewhat skinny man with delicate skin and tender flesh.


    Li Xie raised his brows, he was certain that they had never met before.


    The skinny man looked at Li Xie and indicated for him to sit down.


    Since that was the case, Li Xie naturally would not be courteous to him. He took a step forward and sat on the chair.


    The skinny man sized Li Xie up. He was comparing the rumored Li Xie with the Li Xie who was currently standing in front of him.


    The sword on Li Xie''s back was called Nine Souls Sword, it was a top-grade Heaven-ranked weapon.


    In the entire East Qin Kingdom, there were only a handful of Martial Cultivator who possessed Heaven grade top-grade weapons.


    Little brother, what should I call you? Li Xie cupped his hands and asked.


    You actually call me little brother? The thin man rolled his eyes and said, You''re not much older than me.


    Hm? Should I call you Master Ye? Li Xie asked with interest.


    Hmm, just call me Young Noble Su! The thin man said.


    Prince Su? There was already one in the Zhong Yuan City. Li Xie said.


    Well, I know, he and I are still very good friends! The skinny man said as he slapped the table.


    Li Xie gazed at the skinny man, his eyes filled with doubt.


    All of these were in the eyes of the skinny man, who knew that he had gotten Li Xie''s appetite already.


    Young Noble Su, can you tell me your true purpose for coming here? Li Xie said with a stern expression.


    To tell you the truth, I specifically came here for you, because the last person I knew who saw Su Cheng was you. The skinny man said in a soft voice.


    Li Xie secretly sighed, it seemed like the relationship between Young Master Su and Su Cheng was really special.


    Don''t bother looking for Su Cheng, he had already been led by Daoist Le Feng to one of the Ten Great Heaven Regions, the Heaven Mending Region. Li Xie said.


    Young Master Su looked at Li Xie in disbelief. He had only heard about the Ten Heavenly Regions from the Su Mansion Elder.


    Li Xie, you better not lie to me, otherwise, I will make you pay the most painful price! Young Master Su''s face sank as he said this. She was definitely not joking.


    Young Master Su''s change in expression was so quick that Li Xie did not expect it, and only recovered after a long time.


    Prince Su, what''s your full name? Li Xie asked curiously.


    Su Mian. Young Noble Su blurted out.


    En, Young Master Wu, if you want to eat anything please ask for it, I will treat you! Li Xie said.


    No need, let me treat you! Su Mian said.


    An hour later, the Suiren Inn gradually descended into the tranquility of the night.


    Li Xie was walking back and forth in the guest room, still trying to figure out Su Mian''s identity.


    The relationship between Su Mian and Su Cheng was definitely not as simple as he claimed, it was just that Li Xie did not have any way to find out.


    Squeak...


    Li Xie looked towards the source of the sound and saw that his window had been pushed open by the wind.


    Li Xie quickly walked to the window. Just as he was about to close the window, he realized that the moonlight was bright, and he couldn''t help but take a few more glances.


    Moonlight was still the same as before, but his state of mind was different from before.


    After a long while, Li Xie reluctantly retracted his gaze.


    Li Xie took a step back and gently closed the window.


    When he turned around, Su Mian was shockingly standing in front of him.


    Li Xie subconsciously frowned. Su Mian was not bad, he did not even hear when Su Mian came in.


    My room is next door to yours, but it''s not as fresh as your room. Su Mian gazed at Li Xie with anticipation.

 C79

    Li Xie secretly laughed, he had thought that Su Mian was here to cause trouble.


    Suddenly, Li Xie felt that he was an interesting person.


    It was just that because Su Mian was surnamed Su, Li Xie would always remind himself to be more cautious, so as to not be tricked again.


    He had nearly lost his life when he was trapped in the trap designed by Su Cheng last time, but when he thought back to it now, he still felt a little afraid.


    Of course. Right after he finished speaking, Li Xie quickly walked past Su Mian.


    When the sound of the door opening and closing reached Su Mian''s ears, she heaved a sigh of relief.


    He had originally thought that Li Xie would beat around the bush, but who would have thought that his promise would be so straightforward?


    At this moment, Su Mian''s mood was extremely good, because he could finally have a peaceful sleep.


    Several hours later, as dawn arrived, Li Xie was unable to sleep well the entire night, and even his eyelids were a little swollen.


    This was because there were rats crawling around all night, causing Li Xie to be unable to sleep soundly.


    He originally wanted to wake Su Mian up and switch the room, but he did not do so.


    Li Xie turned and walked in front of Su Mian''s room, raised his hand and knocked on the door.


    But he waited a good while, for Su Mian to not even open the door, and in the room, it was quiet.


    Li Xie raised his leg and kicked forward, the door instantly opened, he peeked inside, and then quickly walked into the room.


    To his surprise, the room was empty.


    But Li Xie, who was sitting next door, had never heard a sound of the door being opened.


    Li Xie raised his brows, compared to Su Cheng, Su Mian seemed to be even more mysterious.


    Obviously, Su Mian had disappeared on purpose, who knew when they would meet again.


    Li Xie turned around and started walking out. He had to go eat breakfast, and after that, he would pay a visit to An Shan who was representing the City Master of Ziyang City.


    Originally, he was a little hesitant, wondering whether he should first visit the Dongfang family''s Patriarch Dongfang Liang or the city lord of the Ziyang City.


    After some deliberation, he chose to visit An Shan who was representing the City Master of Ziyang City.


    Not long after, a huge Ziyang City appeared in Li Xie''s line of sight.


    Outside the Ziyang City gate stood a group of soldiers with stern faces. No matter if it was a storm or a storm, they would always stand guard outside.


    Li Xie walked in front of them, and then cupped his fists and bowed.


    The City Lord''s Mansion Warriors guarding the gate sized Li Xie up. They were already numb to it, all sorts of people would come visit their Master everyday.


    However, the threshold of their City Lord''s Mansion was very high, and not just anyone could enter if they wanted to.


    If you are here to visit the City Lord, I advise you to leave quickly.


    Li Xie sighed, he had already been rejected before he could even open his mouth, seems like he had thought of another way to enter City Lord''s Mansion.


    Li Xie turned, his hands on his cheeks as he fell into deep thought.


    Seeing that Li Xie did not have the intention to leave, the soldiers guarding the door all stared at Li Xie with widened eyes.


    It was as if they were a pack of evil wolves while Li Xie was a skinny lamb.


    If Li Xie still did not leave, they were prepared to chase him away.


    I have come here specifically to visit the City Lord. Li Xie turned and said to the soldier guarding the door calmly.


    As if they had heard a great joke, the soldiers guarding the gate nearly rolled forward and backward in laughter.


    Let''s go! Don''t get yourself into trouble!


    Yeah, with your status, you will never be able to enter our City Lord''s Mansion!


    If not for your mediocre condition, you would have collapsed after just a few punches. We would have long taken action against you!


    Li Xie stood at his original position. If he did not see Dai An Shan today, he was not going to leave.


    He actually wanted to see how high the threshold of Ziyang City was, whether or not he could step foot inside!


    All of you, get out of my way!


    A familiar voice came out from the City Lord''s Mansion, following that, the soldiers on guard duty retreated to the two sides, after a while two familiar faces appeared in Li Xie''s line of sight.


    These two familiar faces were Wang Dong and Wang Xi. They and Li Xie had already been gone for some time.


    Wang Dong and Wang Xi immediately cupped their fists and bowed towards Li Xie, their attitude was exactly the same as when they were at the Spirit Wind Mountain Range.


    Li Xie secretly thought about why would Wang Dong and Wang Xi appear in the Ziyang City of Ziyang City.


    If they were really Dai An Shan''s subordinates, it would also mean that Dai An Shan had always been paying attention to every single movement and action of Zhong Yuan City, including Su Family.


    Brother, I didn''t hear wrong, right? Wang Xi looked at Wang Dong and said.


    Mn, sure enough, the Young Master Li is here! Wang Dong replied with a smile.


    You guys didn''t go to the Zhong Yuan City with Lady Miaomiao? Li Xie asked.


    Mm, we parted ways halfway with Lady Miaomiao! Wang Dong said.


    When he thought about Miao Linger, everything that happened at Gemini Temple that day felt like it happened yesterday.


    Other than him, no one knew that Su Cheng had already left on her own.


    If the news of Su Cheng riding a crane in the west spread throughout the entire East Qin Kingdom, it would definitely set off a lot of storms, so he would not let this matter be leaked out.


    In the future, you all must be more courteous to Young Master Li, Young Master Li is a noble guest of our City Lord''s Mansion! Esteemed guest of Ziyang City! Wang Xi glared at the soldier guarding the gate and roared.


    The soldiers guarding the door all lowered their heads. They had already realized that they had done something wrong.


    Young Master Li, it was us who failed to recognize Mt. Tai, I hope that you don''t mind this lowly one!


    The soldiers who were aggressive just now all bowed towards Li Xie, their faces still full of smiles.


    Following the footsteps of Wang Dong and Wang Xi, Li Xie quickly strode into the City Lord''s Mansion.


    Looking over, the City Lord''s Mansion was not much worse than the Zhong Yuan City.


    In East Qin Kingdom, Ziyang City was also a top-notch city!


    Wang Dong introduced the various things related to City Lord''s Mansion to Li Xie as he walked by his side.


    The City Lord''s Mansion has a history of more than a hundred years, and all the previous lords of the Ziyang City would cultivate a new set of scriptures in this place.


    Dai''an Mountain was normally in the study room in the backyard to handle all sorts of affairs, while Dai''an Mountain was a diligent city lord.


    Li Xie surveyed his surroundings. There were officers guarding every path and every important corner of the Ziyang City, and there were even officers who were patrolling to and fro.


    No matter where Li Xie went, the City Lord''s Mansion soldiers and servants would all greet him.


    This made Li Xie even more curious about Wang Dong and Wang Xi''s identities, but he would never ask about it.


    Before long, Li Xie and the others had already walked from the front courtyard of the City Lord''s Mansion to the rear courtyard, and their study was right in front of them.


    At that moment, the door to the study was open. Li Xie stopped and looked inside, only to see a middle aged man pacing back and forth in the study.


    The middle-aged man seemed to be preoccupied with something, and the atmosphere in the study was depressing.


    Li Xie glanced at Wang Dong and Wang Xi. From their eyes, he knew that the middle-aged man who was pacing back and forth in the study was the City Master of Ziyang City, An Shan.


    Li Xie retracted his gaze and looked at An Shan. Just like the rumors said, An Shan''s body was somewhat fat.


    As if sensing that someone was watching him, Dai An Shan suddenly stopped and looked towards the door.


    When An Shan''s gaze fell on Li Xie, he saw that Li Xie had cupped his fists and saluted him.


    The corner of Dai An Shan''s mouth rose slightly, he was curious about Li Xie''s identity.

 C80

    Wang Dong and Wang Xi stood on Li Xie''s left and right, as if they had known each other for a long time.


    Maybe they met each other when they were still at the Zhong Yuan City. Thinking about this, An Shan roughly knew of Li Xie''s origins.


    City Lord, Young Master Li Li Xie has come to visit you! Wang Dong said to An Shan after saluting him.


    De An Shan nodded towards Wang Dong, then once again focused his attention on Li Xie.


    If one were to hear the name Li Xie, An Shan would know his identity. Regardless of whether it was Guangxuan City or Guangxuan City, An Shan had his eyes and ears open.


    However, compared to the famous Su Cheng, Li Xie was not as famous.


    I want to talk to the Young Master Li alone. Dai An Shan said to Wang Dong and Wang Xi.


    Wang Dong and Wang Xi looked at Li Xie and then turned to leave.


    Li Xie walked into the study room with large strides under the gaze of An Shan, and the door naturally closed behind him.


    If it had not been for the daylight hours, the study might have been dark after the door had closed.


    An Shan took a step forward and patted Li Xie''s shoulder. He had wanted to know Li Xie for a long time.


    Young Master Li, I have something to ask you, and I don''t know if you are willing to say it. Dian Anshan''s tone was somewhat hesitant.


    In place of City Lord, please ask. If possible, I will definitely not hide it from you. Li Xie replied.


    Hmm, recently it seems like Young Master Su Cheng has disappeared, do you know where he is? he asked, lowering his voice.


    had anticipated the problem with Mount Dian, as Mount Dian, after all, had always been paying attention to the changes in the Zhong Yuan City.


    I heard that he went with Daoist Yue Feng to the Ten Heavenly Regions to cultivate! Li Xie replied naturally.


    Dai An Shan raised his eyebrows. Naturally, he had heard of the Ten Heavenly Regions.


    With Su Cheng''s talent, being able to cultivate in the Ten Heavenly Regions was not something that would cause anyone to feel that it was strange.


    When Su Cheng returns from the Ten Heavenly Regions, maybe it would be time for his Su Family to unify the nine families of the East Qin Kingdom.


    De An Shan retracted his thoughts, and then smiled lightly at Li Xie.


    Since Su Cheng had gone to the Ten Heavenly Regions to cultivate, then he would definitely not be able to return to the East Qin Kingdom for a short while.


    For the past few years, he had been looking forward to seeing for himself how the powerful Su Family would allow him to pass this time.


    Young Master Li, you can stay in the City Lord''s Mansion tonight! De An Shan said.


    No, I''ve already booked a room at the Suian Inn. Li Xie said.


    Mn, if you have any matters in the future, you can come and find me at City Lord''s Mansion at any time, the gate to City Lord''s Mansion will always be open for you. De An Shan said.


    Li Xie cupped his hands and bowed to An Shan once more, then turned and walked to the door.


    Dai An Shan shook his sleeves, and the door to the study opened.


    Under Dai An Shan''s gaze, Li Xie had already quickly walked to the courtyard in front of the study without any hesitation.


    Dai An Shan let out a long sigh, as if he had already seen the day where Ziyang City would be extremely lively.


    In the blink of an eye, the vast night had already embraced the enormous Ziyang City in his arms.


    Li Xie opened the window and looked outside. The night scenery of the Ziyang City was very beautiful.


    Li Xie, who was prepared to rest early, suddenly changed his mind. He wanted to take a look at the Ziyang City in the darkness.


    This was because Li Xie was once again reminded of the her far away in the distance, and he could only do his best not to stop.


    Li Xie turned and walked quickly to the door. The moment he opened the door, Su Mian was already standing in front of it.


    Su Mian smiled at Li Xie. Regarding his sudden appearance, Li Xie did not seem to be surprised.


    In Li Xie''s eyes, Su Mian saw a burst of unforgettable emotion.


    Su Mian didn''t know if she had thought of someone, or if she had thought of something unhappy.


    Brother Li, I will bring you to see a very interesting person! Su Mian said with a smile.


    Who? Li Xie asked.


    Let''s go! You''ll know when the time comes! Right after she finished speaking, Su Mian had already headed towards the first floor of the inn.


    Li Xie raised his brows, secretly sighing to himself that Su Mian really came and went like the wind.


    Since Su Mian had already said so, he was naturally interested in going over to take a look.


    After a while, Li Xie followed Su Mian''s footsteps and arrived on the roof of Swallow Spring Pavilion.


    Swallow Spring Pavilion''s reputation was one of the top in Ziyang City. Most rich young masters would like to come here and have fun.


    Li Xie turned his face to look at Su Mian, he did not know why Su Mian brought him to this kind of place.


    Su Mian was observing her surroundings, this was not her first time climbing onto the roof of Swallow Spring Restaurant.


    When he turned his head to look at Li Xie, his eyes just happened to meet Li Xie''s.


    Su Mian immediately looked away, and indicated for Li Xie to follow his gaze and look forward.


    Li Xie followed Su Mian''s line of sight and looked ahead. It just so happened to be a room, and inside it, a man and a woman were drinking and chatting merrily.


    Although there was some distance between them, Ye Zichen was still able to roughly see the appearance of a man and a woman in the room.


    Who is he? Li Xie asked.


    He was the young master of the Dongfang family, Dongfang Jiayu! Su Mian said.


    The east gradually rose? How could he come to this place? Li Xie frowned.


    This young master of the Dongfang family didn''t like to think about how to raise the realm of Martial Cultivator all day. He actually liked to come to this kind of place. Su Mian said.


    Li Xie thoughtfully nodded his head, no wonder Su Cheng was praised as the number one young master of the nine great families.


    Compared to Dongfang Jianyun and Ye Song, Su Cheng was indeed stronger by more than a bit.


    Young Master Wu, why did you bring me to meet Dongfang Jiayu? Li Xie looked at Su Mian and asked.


    Isn''t your purpose in coming to the Ziyang City to get to know the East? Su Mian asked.


    How do you know so much? Li Xie frowned and asked.


    Didn''t you already know? I''m not an ordinary person. Su Mian rolled her eyes and said.


    After Li Xie finished listening to what Su Mian had to say, he couldn''t help but laugh out loud.


    Now it seemed that knowing Su Mian could be considered a joyful thing. He probably knew more about the Ziyang City than Wang Dong and Wang Xi.


    Then, what things do I have that I don''t understand, I can ask you for guidance? Li Xie asked.


    Of course, but I won''t necessarily tell you everything. Su Mian said.


    Bang!


    Just at this moment, a man dressed in black descended from the sky, and landed behind Li Xie and his group.


    Li Xie and Su Mian immediately turned to look, and the man dressed in black bowed to them.


    Li Xie didn''t know who the man in black was, but Su Mian did.


    Ever since Su Mian came to the Ziyang City, they had met many times.


    Master Liu, why are you here? Su Mian asked with a straight face.


    I am following Patriarch''s orders to invite his to gather at Dongfang Mansion! The man in black said.


    Su Mian turned her face to the side as she looked at Li Xie, using her eyes to indicate to him that it would be best if she did not go to Dongfang Mansion.


    You''re called Soldier Liu? You are a member of the Dongfang family''s Patriarch''s side? Li Xie asked.


    Yes, it''s true. Young Master Wu, who is standing by your side, can prove it. Liu Shang Jun said calmly.


    Mn, since it''s an invitation from the Patriarch of the Dongfang family, I can only decline it. Li Xie said.


    Originally, Li Xie was prepared to wait until he had the chance to visit Dongfang Liang, but Dongfang Liang had already sent people over to look for him.


    If that was the case, then it was better to choose a day than a day.

 C81

    Liu Shang Jun looked at Li Xie in disbelief. He had initially thought that Li Xie would hesitate three times, but never expected him to agree so readily.


    It looked like Li Xie had come prepared, and his Ziyang City was going to be lively for at least another few days.


    Thinking about it here, Liu Shang Jun actually looked forward to it, since Dongfang Liang rarely invited anyone to the palace.


    Liu Shang Jun turned around and leaped up, quickly stepping on the road of Dongfang Mansion.


    Rest assured, Young Master Wu, I will definitely come out of Dongfang Mansion alive! Li Xie looked at Su Mian, and said resolutely.


    Su Mian rolled her eyes at Li Xie, indicating that she didn''t care about''s life and death.


    Not long after, Li Xie followed Liu Anjun''s footsteps and walked along the corridor leading to the Dongfang Mansion living room. At this moment, the Dongfang Mansion was still brightly lit.


    Compared to Ziyang City, Dongfang Mansion was even more profound and profound.


    The Dongfang Mansion was very high, and there were hundreds of guards patrolling day and night.


    No matter if it was the guards or the servants of Dongfang Mansion, all of them had prideful looks in their eyes, and they were not forced to pretend to be so.


    The Dongfang family was the number one clan in the East Qin Kingdom nine great families. Their status also rose along with it.


    Compared to Zhong Yuan City, the arrangement of Dongfang Mansion was not that unique.


    The fake mountains and trees in the courtyard of Dongfang Mansion were all aged.


    No matter where he went, the air would be filled with the faint fragrance of sandalwood, causing one to feel relaxed.


    Looking at the decorations of the Dongfang Mansion, it could be seen that Dongfang Liang was not one to care about ostentation, rather, he knew how to live.


    Although Li Xie was walking beside Liu Shang Jun, he could not hear his footsteps.


    He never used the corner of his eyes to observe his surroundings.


    In the entire Dongfang Mansion, perhaps Liu Anjun was the most special person.


    When Liu Shang Jun''s footsteps suddenly stopped, the living room of the Dongfang Mansion appeared in front of Li Xie''s eyes.


    The living room of Dongfang Mansion was brightly lit. Inside stood an old man, and other than him, there was no one else.


    When Li Xie turned to look at Liu Shang Jun, he saw that Liu Shang Jun had already disappeared without a trace, which showed that his Martial Cultivator cultivation was definitely not low.


    Li Xie retracted his gaze and quickly walked into Dongfang Mansion''s living room. Before he came, Li Xie had already mentally prepared himself.


    When he was at the Zhong Yuan City, Li Xie did not meet with the, so he did not want to miss out on Dongfang Liang this time.


    Su Ding and Dongfang Liang were both well-known figures in the nine great families with East Qin Kingdom, Li Xie could not help but feel a little nervous in his heart, but his face remained as calm as water.


    Li Xie stood in front of Dongfang Liang and saluted. It was just as he had imagined, Dongfang Liang''s body was refined and full of prestige.


    Dongfang Liang indicated that Li Xie did not need to be so courteous, in his eyes, he and Li Xie were already friends.


    Dongfang Liang had always been sending people to observe the movements of the large cities in the East Qin Kingdom, and the Guangxuan City located in the southeastern part of the East Qin Kingdom was no exception.


    Although Guangxuan City was a small city compared to Ziyang City and Zhong Yuan City, Dongfang Liang would still treat him differently.


    Dongfang Liang had long since heard of his reputation in the Guangxuan City.


    Furthermore, he had some idea of what was going on between Li Xie and her.


    Dongfang Liang reached out and patted Li Xie''s shoulder. It seemed casual, but in reality, in one go, he had discovered Li Xie''s realm of Martial Cultivator.


    Li Xie''s profound strength was not as high as he had imagined.


    If it was possible, Dongfang Liang actually hoped that Li Xie would become his disciple, but he knew that it was impossible for that to happen.


    The look in Li Xie''s eyes had proven everything. He could not possibly become a chess piece in the hands of others.


    But even so, Dongfang Liang did not feel that Li Xie had the qualifications to personally control his own fate.


    Eastern Patriarch, I have long heard of your great name. Li Xie said naturally.


    Young Master Li, I have also heard of your fame! Dongfang Liang said with a smile.


    Cough, in front of the Eastern Patriarch, I am just like a speck of starlight in the night sky. Li Xie said with an ashamed tone.


    We don''t need to be so polite, let''s get straight to the point! Dongfang Liang said.


    Directly? Could it be about Lady Miaomiao? Li Xie asked.


    Mn, Miao Linger is my adopted daughter! Dongfang Liang said solemnly.


    Li Xie couldn''t help but raise his eyebrows. Listening to Dongfang Liang''s words, he implied that Miao Linger''s position in the Dongfang Mansion was not low, so why did he still let Miao Linger take the risk?


    Now that Miao Linger had vanished, it was impossible for him to return Miao Linger to Dongfang Liang safe and sound.


    If Dongfang Liang took this opportunity to attack him, he could only defend!


    Young Master Li, you don''t have to be so nervous, I won''t let you get your life! Dongfang Liang said.


    Hm? Please make it clear! Li Xie said.


    At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came from behind Li Xie.


    Li Xie and Dongfang Liang looked towards the direction where the voice came from, and saw a Martial Cultivator who was as strong as a cow standing at the entrance of the guest hall.


    The cow like Martial Cultivator bowed towards Dongfang Liang, then he glanced at Li Xie, his eyes filled with anger.


    Even though they were separated by a few steps, the Martial Cultivator''s imposing manner, which was as strong as a cow, had already pounced in front of Li Xie.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows, it was clear that the Martial Cultivator with a body as sturdy as a cow was rushing towards him.


    Zhang Ma, why have you come here at this time? Dongfang Liang asked gently.


    Patriarch, I heard that a special esteemed guest came to visit, so I specially came to take a look at the distinguished guest! Zhang Ma replied with a smile.


    Esteemed guest? Are you talking about me? Li Xie frowned and said.


    You are Li Xie? Before he finished speaking, Zhang Ma''s face had already turned incomparably gloomy.


    That''s right, I am Li Xie. Facing Zhang Ma, Li Xie replied calmly.


    Zhang Ma walked step by step in front of Li Xie, and stared widely at him.


    Li Xie saw the anger in Zhang Ma''s eyes. It was strong enough to burn him to ashes.


    Zhang Ma, you can leave now! Dongfang Liang looked at Zhang Ma and said.


    Zhang Ma did not listen to Dongfang Liang''s orders and immediately left the living room. Instead, he continued to glare at Li Xie like an angry tiger.


    Brother Zhang, I haven''t offended you in any way, have I? Li Xie asked.


    Humph! Stinking brat, do you know that Miao Linger is my fiancee, and her death is related to you? The corner of Zhang Ma''s mouth twitched as he said.


    Was Lady Miaomiao really his fianc¨¦e? Li Xie turned his face to look at Dongfang Liang and asked.


    Well, I do have that idea. Dongfang Liang sighed and said.


    Bang!


    Zhang Ma extended his hand and grabbed Li Xie''s arm, and then picked him up.


    Zhang Ma had inborn divine strength. He could easily lift even a cow!


    After Zhang Ma turned around, he took the opportunity to throw Li Xie onto the ground outside the guest hall, as if he was throwing out a tree branch.


    Patriarch, I want to have a life and death battle with Li Xie, I hope you can allow me to do so! Zhang Ma bowed and said to Dongfang Liang.


    Dongfang Liang frowned, he knew Miao Linger''s position in Zhang Ma''s heart.


    Eastern Patriarch, I also want to have a contest with Brother Zhang, I hope you can allow this! Li Xie said excitedly.


    Dongfang Liang then looked at Li Xie, and whether it was his eyes or tone of voice, it proved that he was not joking.


    Since that was the case, Dongfang Liang decided to go with the flow, and nodded to Zhang Ma.

 C82

    Zhang Ma walked out of the Dongfang Mansion living room with large strides, and once again stood in front of Li Xie.


    Just like a huge mountain, Zhang Ma''s body was two to three rounds wider than Li Xie''s.


    In this battle, Zhang Ma was not ready to stop. He would make Li Xie pay a painful price!


    Zhang Ma clenched his right hand into a fist and a pitch-black iron rod appeared in his hand. This was a last grade heaven-step weapon.


    Zhang Ma raised the iron rod in his hand and pointed it at Li Xie''s chest, his eyes filled with killing intent.


    Li Xie calmly stared at Zhang Ma, the killing intent in Zhang Ma''s eyes did not cause any fluctuations in his emotions.


    Zhang Ma''s mouth twitched, he felt that Li Xie was pretending to be calm.


    Brat, I''m older than you, so I''ll let you attack me three times to prevent others from saying that I''m bullying the weak! Zhang Ma said coldly.


    Oh, then I won''t stand on ceremony! With that said, Li Xie unsheathed his sword and quickly walked towards Zhang Ma.


    Zhang Ma squinted his eyes, in his eyes, Li Xie''s arm was as thick as his thumb.


    Swoosh!


    The Sword Qi flashed by, Zhang Ma calmly took a step back, just in time to let the Sword Qi pass by his side.


    Then, Zhang Ma smiled at Li Xie, indicating that Li Xie''s movements should be faster!


    But Zhang Ma felt that even if Li Xie used all his strength, the result would still be the same!


    Li Xie raised the corner of his mouth, sighing to himself that Zhang Ma was not an easy opponent to deal with.


    Li Xie took a step forward, and then thrusted the Nine Souls Sword into Zhang Ma''s chest. Zhang Ma bent down, and then turned around and appeared behind Li Xie.


    Zhang Ma squinted his eyes, in his eyes, no matter how Li Xie attacked, it was full of holes!


    Hiss!


    Li Xie''s right hand trembled, and many Sword Qi s of the Nine Souls Sword rushed towards Zhang Ma.


    Zhang Ma retreated back, while smiling at Li Xie. When he moved, the Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi was already behind him.


    After Zhang Ma stabilized his steps, when he looked at Li Xie again, his expression became extremely sinister.


    Li Xie laughed lightly, he knew that Zhang Ma was prepared to go all out, because he did not go back on his words and had already given in three moves.


    This is good too, the three moves that Li Xie had just used were actually just a fake move.


    Boom!


    Zhang Ma jumped up, raised the iron rod in his hand and struck towards Li Xie''s head.


    Li Xie raised the Nine Souls Sword high up and met it head on with the steel pole in Zhang Ma''s hands!


    Sparks flew in all directions, scaring Moonlight into hiding in the clouds.


    Squeak squeak...


    The ground beneath Li Xie''s feet had already cracked, and the cracks were still expanding continuously.


    Zhang Ma continued to pour Elemental Energy s into the iron rod, attempting to destroy Li Xie along with the Nine Souls Sword in his hands!


    Zhang Ma laughed coldly, he heard Li Xie''s hurried breathing.


    Ah!


    Following Zhang Ma''s furious roar, he swung the metal rod towards Li Xie again. The strength behind the swing was enough to split the mountain!


    Li Xie''s feet stomped the ground and he seized the opportunity to soar into the air above Zhang Ma.


    Zhang Ma was furious, he never thought that Li Xie would still have the guts to turn defense into offense.


    In a flash, Zhang Ma turned around and waved the iron rod so tightly that not even wind could pass through, not giving Li Xie any chance to retaliate.


    He wanted Li Xie to not live past tomorrow, not even a second more!


    Bang!


    Li Xie''s hands that were holding onto the Nine Souls Sword sank, immediately allowing Zhang Ma''s heel to hit the ground.


    Zhang Ma clenched his teeth and glared at Li Xie. If looks could kill, he would have ripped Li Xie into pieces long ago!


    Die!


    Zhang Ma roared loudly, and all the Elemental Energy in his body started to boil instantly.


    At this moment, the iron rod in his hand shined with a brilliant light as it shot into the heavens!


    Zhang Ma took a step back, and then used his iron rod to hit Li Xie in the chest.


    He originally thought that he would be able to send Li Xie to hell with just a portion of the Elemental Energy.


    As long as he could send Li Xie to the west, he would not hesitate to exhaust all his Elemental Energy.


    Clang!


    With a loud bang, the rock garden and towering trees in front of the living room all collapsed.


    Dongfang Liang who was standing at the door of the living room and watching everything, could not help but be secretly shocked.


    Although Li Xie''s Martial Cultivator was under Zhang Ma''s influence, but no matter if it was changing his attack into defense, or changing his defense into offense, he grasped the right timing.


    Gradually, Dongfang Liang retracted the contempt he had for Li Xie.


    Young Master Li, stop right there! Dongfang Liang shouted to Li Xie.


    Li Xie turned his head to look at Dongfang Liang, and just at this time, Zhang Ma took the chance and kicked Li Xie in the chest, causing Li Xie to fly out.


    Bang!


    In the blink of an eye, Li Xie was thrown into the embrace of the rocks, his entire body twitching in pain.


    Li Xie frowned as he stumbled out from the pile of rocks. Blood was flowing out from the corner of his mouth.


    Zhang Ma hoisted the steel rod onto his shoulder, and walked towards Li Xie step by step.


    Smelly brat, you can''t possibly be my opponent, hurry up and surrender! Zhang Ma advised.


    You think you''ve won? Li Xie asked with interest.


    Ah!" Isn''t it? I''ll wring off your head right now! Zhang Ma quickly rushed towards Li Xie.


    Clang!


    As the Nine Souls Sword and the iron rod clashed, thunder roared and flashed in the night sky.


    Zhang Ma continued to push the iron rod down, and waves after waves of Elemental Energy were injected into the iron rod.


    The killing intent coming straight at him grew heavier and heavier, but Li Xie did not frown at all because of it.


    Suddenly, Zhang Ma laughed coldly, because under the powerful impact of the metal rod, the Nine Souls Sword in Li Xie''s hand had bent.


    Zhang Ma stared at Li Xie, as if he could already see the look in Li Xie''s eyes when he was panicking.


    Tonight, you are dead! Zhang Ma roared at the top of his lungs.


    My life is not yours! Li Xie said as the corner of his mouth rose.


    Heh! He was still so stubborn even when he was about to die! With that said, Zhang Ma retracted his iron rod and took the opportunity to smash towards Li Xie''s head.


    Dongfang Liang, who was standing at the living room''s door, squinted his eyes. He wanted to see how long Li Xie could last.


    Li Xie''s skill had already greatly expanded his horizons. It could be seen that the fame of Li Xie in the Guangxuan City wasn''t unknown.


    In a split-second, Li Xie shifted his body slightly, and the iron rod brushed past his shoulder.


    Zhang Ma was enraged, he raised his iron rod again and swung it towards Li Xie''s head.


    Li Xie retreated with the Nine Souls Sword in his hand, opening up a distance between him and Zhang Ma.


    Don''t hide anymore, you will die sooner or later, why not die faster and reincarnate faster! Zhang Ma advised with good intentions once again.


    Brother Zhang, I can only appreciate your good intentions! Li Xie said.


    No, this matter is not for you to refuse! Zhang Ma jumped up, like a fierce tiger pouncing on its prey, he swung his iron rod towards Li Xie.


    Clang ¡­


    Zhang Ma gasped, the steel rod in his hand was actually cut apart by the Nine Souls Sword!


    Zhang Ma immediately retreated. His steps were messy, and his expression was one of panic.


    Please have mercy Young Master Li! Dongfang Liang anxiously shouted, the situation had developed beyond his expectations.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    The Sword Qi flashed by, and right before Zhang Ma''s eyes, it scared him so much that he directly fell to the ground, trembling.


    Zhang Ma originally thought that his own martial veins had been cut off by the Sword Qi, but he did not feel the heart-wrenching pain that spread throughout his body.


    He raised his right wrist and glanced at it. It was only a layer of skin.


    Zhang Ma trembled as he stood up, he did not even dare to look Li Xie in the eye.


    Just now, Li Xie had already shown mercy, how could he not know.


    If there was a hole in the ground at this moment, he would immediately dive into it.


    Not only did he lose face for himself, he also lost face for the Dongfang family.

 C83

    Zhang Ma cautiously glanced at Dongfang Liang, but at the moment, Dongfang Liang''s eyes were emotionless.


    The more it was like this, the more Zhang Ma felt that he was about to suffer Dongfang Liang''s wrath.


    Thinking of this, Zhang Ma instantly felt as if half of his body was lying in the coffin.


    Zhang Ma, quickly retreat! Dongfang Liang said with a stern face.


    Yes, Patriarch! With that, Zhang Ma turned around and quickly walked away.


    At this moment, Zhang Ma''s back was already soaked through. Only after walking far away did he dare to take deep breaths.


    A few hours later, when the sky turned bright, Li Xie got off the bed and quickly walked to the window, taking the opportunity to open it.


    Today''s Ziyang City was not basked in the bright sun high up in the sky, but instead shrouded by dark clouds in the sky.


    Li Xie quickly opened the door, but unexpectedly, Liu Shang Jun was already standing in front of the door.


    Li Xie could tell that Liu Shang Jun had already been waiting for a long time, and he saw a hint of hesitation in Liu Shang Jun''s eyes, this was not the Liu Shang Jun that he remembered.


    It was definitely not by coincidence that Liu Shang Jun appeared, but Li Xie was extremely curious about the reason.


    Liu Shang Jun cupped his fists in greeting towards Li Xie, his attitude was much better than last night.


    Li Xie returned the greeting to Liu Shang Jun, he was still waiting for Liu Shang Jun to take the initiative to say why he had specifically come to Suian''an Inn so early in the morning.


    It probably wasn''t an order from Dongfang Liang. After all, they had already met him last night.


    Liu Shang Jun hesitated for a long time, but was still unable to open his mouth. He could only remain standing in place.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows, it seemed that Liu Anjun had met with a huge problem. Otherwise, with his personality, he wouldn''t have been so conflicted.


    Li Xie moved to the side, indicating for Liu Shang Jun to come inside, but Liu Shang Jun remained motionless.


    Brother Liu, did something happen to Dongfang Mansion? Li Xie asked in a low voice.


    It''s not convenient to talk about this here, please follow me to the Dongfang Mansion. Liu Shang Jun said as he stared at Li Xie.


    After a while, Li Xie and Liu Shang Jun started walking in the Dongfang Mansion. Compared to last night, Li Xie felt that there was something wrong with his Dongfang Mansion today.


    As for what was wrong, Liu Anjun would definitely not tell him personally.


    Although the guards of the Dongfang Mansion were still constantly patrolling, the servants were also busy.


    This time, Liu Shang Jun did not bring Li Xie to the living room, but instead, went straight to the eastern courtyard of Dongfang Mansion.


    There were only two people staying in the Eastern Courtyard of Dongfang Mansion, Dongfang Liang and Dong Fang. Under normal circumstances, the Eastern Courtyard would not allow outsiders to take even a single step.


    However, the present was not the same as the past.


    Li Xie did not look around, but listened to his footsteps. Last night, his footsteps were not soundless.


    It could only be said that something big had really happened to the Dongfang Mansion, otherwise, Liu Anjun wouldn''t be so abnormal.


    After passing through one corridor after another, he had finally arrived at the eastern courtyard of Dongfang Mansion.


    Master Liu stood at the door of his room. The door was closed, and he respectfully saluted the person in the room that he could not see.


    The ones who came were the upper echelons of the Liu Army?


    It is I, young master, who have brought a very important person with me!


    En, you two can come in together!


    Just as he finished speaking, the door opened from the inside, Li Xie and Liu Shang Jun walked quickly into the house.


    The voice that came out from the room just now was very young, so Li Xie felt that it was most likely coming from the east side.


    Other than Dongfang Liang, the only other person who could cause Liu Shang Jun to be so respectful was probably the one who was slowly rising up from the east.


    Sure enough, Li Xie followed Liu Shang Jun to stop and look forward, and a young and handsome man entered his eyes.


    This man was Dong Fang Jiuchen. Li Xie had already met him at Swallow Spring Pavilion last night.


    It was hard for Li Xie to imagine a young master like Dongfang Xi who was infatuated with the woman from Swallow Spring Pavilion, and was truly nice to her.


    Brother Li, he is our young master Dongfang! Liu Shang Jun said to Li Xie.


    "Ugh ¡­" So it turned out to be the famous Young Master Dongfang. Li Xie cupped his fists and bowed.


    From his personality, the person he brought with him must be extraordinary.


    However, just from the first glance, Dong Fang could tell that Li Xie was not an ordinary person. However, he could tell that the sword on Li Xie''s back was not of ordinary quality.


    May I have your name please? Dongfang Wenyi politely asked Li Xie.


    My name is Li Xie, I believe Young Master Dongfang has never heard of me before. Li Xie replied.


    Uh, I''ve indeed never heard of it before. I''m sorry! Dongfang Wenyi raised his eyebrows and said.


    Li Xie laughed to himself. He couldn''t tell if Dong Fang had truly never heard of his name or if he pretended to have never heard of it.


    If he pretended to have never heard of it before, it could be seen that Dongfang Xi''s intentions were not any less than Su Cheng''s.


    In this world, there were probably few people with pure hearts.


    Young Master, the current situation forces us to request Brother Li''s help! His tone was urgent and helpless.


    What was going on? Li Xie asked, he was completely confused.


    Brother Li, please come with me! The East rose and turned, leading the way.


    When Li Xie and the rest suddenly stopped, Li Xie saw something he did not expect, Dongfang Liang laid on the bed with his face pale.


    So it turns out that something had happened to Dongfang Liang. No wonder Liu Anjun was anxious and hesitant.


    Recalling back Dongfang Liang''s calm and refined appearance last night, it was really hard to imagine that he would become like this today.


    Li Xie took a step forward to listen carefully. His breathing was very weak, and very likely stopped in the next moment.


    Li Xie turned his face to look at the east, and at this moment, the expression on his face was full of worry.


    Brother Li, my father''s soul was kept by a Shadow Sage Realm Martial Cultivator in the Heavenly Tower. Before the Shadow Sage Realm Martial Cultivator left, he left behind his request, and we need to find three unparalleled treasures to give to him before he releases my father''s soul. Dongfang Xi frowned and said.


    Which three peerless treasures were they? Li Xie asked.


    Brother Li, these three treasures are the millennium wine from Zhu Rong Villa, the Rage Heavenly Treasure Mirror of Zhong Yuan City and the Twin-Tailed Spirit Monkey from Soaring Sky Cliff! Liu said.


    Hmm, this is the first time I''ve heard of these three peerless treasures. Li Xie said.


    Brother Li, in order to make the most of my time, I will send people to take care of the Desolate Heavenly Treasure Mirror of Zhong Yuan City and the Twin-Tailed Spirit Monkey at Soaring Sky Cliff. Dong Fang slowly said.


    Alright, I am duty-bound! Li Xie said resolutely without any hesitation.


    He had seen Li Xie''s capabilities last night, and he believed that as long as Li Xie was willing to help them, it would not be difficult for them to get their hands on the thousand years old wine from Zhu Rong Villa.


    Ever since the day that Liu Shang Jun was sensible, the Dongfang family had never encountered such a big crisis.


    In the blink of an eye, the sun rose and set. It was already the evening of the second day.


    Li Xie had already traveled for an entire day, but Zhu Rong Mountain Villa was still not too far away.


    It was already late in the night, so he needed to find a quiet place to rest for the night.


    Fortunately, there was a small town beside them, so Li Xie quickly entered the small town and found an inn to stay in.


    However, the inn was already packed with people. There were no extra rooms, but this inn was the only inn in the town.


    Just as Li Xie was frowning in worry, a middle-aged man with a brain full of fat slowly walked down the stairs to the first floor of the inn.


    Beside him was a group of guards, each of them as strong as a tiger.

 C84

    He had heard the conversation between Li Xie and the inn''s waiter very clearly.


    The fat middle-aged man squinted his eyes and walked to Li Xie''s side, then looked at him from head to toe.


    Following the footsteps of the fat middle-aged man, the other people in the inn, including the shopkeeper and the waiter, all looked at Li Xie.


    Li Xie was calm and composed, his emotions not affected by the fat middle-aged man in the slightest.


    Ha, young man, I''ve already booked all the spare rooms in this inn! Hurry up and get lost! The middle-aged man with a brain full of fat said with a smile.


    Who are you? Li Xie asked as he looked at the middle-aged man with a brain full of fat.


    Young man, you have to listen to me respectfully. I am a rich man who came from the Ziyang City, my reputation is so illustrious in the Ziyang City, and even the City Lord of Ziyang City, An Shan, is my sworn brother! The middle-aged man with a brain full of fat patted his chest as he spoke.


    Wow! How amazing!


    The middle-aged man with a brain full of fat laughed as he surveyed his surroundings. All the other people in the inn had surprised looks in his eyes, which was within his expectations.


    Really? Li Xie asked with a tone full of suspicion.


    Old master, please let me beat this brat up!


    Old master, it''s better if you let me make a move.


    No, let me do it. I can make him cry for his parents with a single kick!


    However, his smile was quickly gone, because he did not see any trace of panic in Li Xie''s eyes.


    Was he scared silly or not at all? The middle-aged man with a brain full of fat could not understand no matter how much he thought about it.


    Suddenly, the mouth of the middle-aged man with a brain full of fat twitched as a wave of killing intent surged in his heart.


    In front of everyone in the inn, he had to get the young man in front of him to kowtow a few times.


    All of you, attack together! He had to end this quickly! The middle-aged man whose brain was filled with fat roared angrily.


    Yes! Master! The guards by the middle-aged man''s side answered in unison.


    The middle-aged man with a brain filled with fat took a few steps back, his face filled with an evil grin.


    When his guards were done beating Li Xie up, he would walk forward and hold onto Li Xie''s neck and kowtow to him with all his might.


    He had tried and tested this kind of thing before, but he had never felt tired.


    Boom ¡­


    Ah ¡­


    The middle-aged man, whose brain was filled with fat, turned pale with fright. He looked around, only to see that all of his guards had been lying on the ground, battered and exhausted.


    When the middle-aged man whose brain was filled with fat looked at Li Xie once again, Li Xie was already standing in front of him.


    The middle-aged man with a brain full of fat tremblingly took a step back, the back of his hand already sweating.


    At this moment, Li Xie''s eyes were ice-cold, and the middle-aged man with a brain filled with fat no longer dared to look him in the eye.


    The day before yesterday, I had just met with the acting mayor. Li Xie said casually.


    Ah!" So you are a friend of the Acting City Lord. I have eyes but did not recognize Mt. Tai. Please spare me! The middle-aged man whose brain was filled with fat felt his knees go weak, and he directly sat down on the ground without any strength left in him.


    I just want you to spare me a room and let me rest for the night. Li Xie said as he looked down at the middle-aged man whose head was filled with fat.


    No, Brother Li, you have to leave me a guest room!


    Li Xie immediately looked towards the source of the sound and saw a woman dressed in white standing at the inn''s entrance.


    They seemed to have not seen each other for a long time, and it seemed as if they had only met yesterday.


    Li Xie''s mouth raised, but he quickly furrowed his brows.


    After a while, Li Xie''s room was brightly lit.


    The white clothed female stood by Li Xie''s side. She did not say anything because she did not know what to say.


    At this moment, Li Xie finally accepted the fact that Miao Linger was still alive.


    That day on Gemini Mian, he had personally watched Miao Linger''s body vanish into thin air. For this reason, he was very unhappy for a few days.


    Li Xie turned his face to look at Miao Linger, and his emotions were mixed.


    I''m sorry Brother Li, I lied to you the last time I was on the Twin Towers, but the only thing that died that day was a substitute using a puppet. Miao Linger looked at Li Xie and said, her eyes filled with regret.


    Why are you doing this? Li Xie asked.


    Because I want to escape the fate of being a pawn. I want to control my own fate. Miao Linger said, but at the moment, her tone was extremely forceful.


    But you''re still Miao Linger, what''s the difference? Li Xie''s heart was filled with suspicions.


    No, I am Ling''er now, not Miao Linger. Miao Linger said.


    Hm? Are you kidding yourself? Li Xie blurted out.


    At this time, Miao Linger turned and faced Li Xie as she took off her veil.


    This was not the first time Li Xie had seen Miao Linger''s peerless appearance, but it was still enough to make Li Xie feel pleased.


    The moment Miao Linger took off her veil with her own hands, it was sufficient to prove that she would not hold anything back when facing Li Xie.


    Actually, only three people have seen my appearance in all these years. Now, one is already dead, and the other is also half dead. Miao Linger said.


    You must know that I went to the Dongfang Mansion, and even saw Zhang Ma. He said that you were his fianc¨¦''s wife. Li Xie said.


    He is also a pitiful person like me, they are only a chess piece in Dongfang Liang''s hands. Miao Linger said.


    Miss Ling''er, do you hate Dongfang Liang? Li Xie frowned and asked.


    No, because if it hadn''t been for him, maybe I wouldn''t have lived to this day. Miao Linger said in relief.


    In the blink of an eye, the sky lit up and the night passed unknowingly.


    Li Xie and Miao Linger travelled for a long time, until it was almost afternoon, when the Zhu Rong Village appeared in front of them.


    In the thousands of years of history of Zhu Rong Mountain, all the previous leaders of Zhu Rong Mountain Villa had been extremely fond of brewing wine, and among the wine, there were even their unique herbs.


    In front of Zhu Rong Mountain was a tranquil lake, on the surface of which, there were some lotus leaves.


    A gentle breeze blew past and ripples appeared on the surface of the lake.


    Li Xie and Miao Linger walked over from the pontoon bridge and arrived in front of the gate of Zhu Rong Village. At this moment, the gate of Zhu Rong Villa was already packed with people.


    Li Xie listened quietly, from their discussion, he could tell that they were here for the thousand year wine.


    No wonder the gate of Zhu Rong Mountain had already been locked, and in front of the door stood a phalanx made of tens of thousands of stones.


    The gate of the Zhu Rong family could not be opened unless the Kirin was pushed out of the gate by Ji Hao.


    This was the plan set up by Zhu Rong Mountain. They told everyone to return home quickly without having to say anything, and not to waste any time.


    Li Xie gave a bland smile. He obviously knew that Wannang Stone was the hardest and the hardest stone to use in East Qin Kingdom.


    If he used the Nine Souls Sword in his hand against the Ten Thousand Gangstone, he would only offend Zhu Rong Mountain, therefore, he could only rely on his own hands.


    Even so, Li Xie''s face was not filled with worry.


    Li Xie quickly walked next to the Qilin and stretched out his hand to touch it.


    Although it was midsummer, the Qilin was like a thousand year old ice.


    Brat, don''t tell me you want to push away the qilin formed from a pile of Ten Thousand Flint Stone? Stop daydreaming!


    Go! Hurry up and go! Don''t embarrass yourself!

 C85

    Hahaha! How can there be so many arrogant people these days!


    Li Xie looked around, the ugly faces were all around him.


    Just as Miao Linger was about to step forward and shut them up, her eyes told Miao Linger not to act rashly.


    They had just arrived at Zhu Rong Mountain, there was no need for them to make a move so soon.


    At this time, a burly Martial Cultivator walked quickly to Li Xie''s side and took the opportunity to glare at him.


    The burly Martial Cultivator was taller than Li Xie by a head and his face was full of arrogance.


    Under everyone''s gazes, the burly Martial Cultivator extended his hands and pressed them on the Qilin, then began to drive the Elemental Energy in his body.


    In his eyes, aside from him, no one else could push the Qilin, which was standing in front of the gate of Zhu Rong Village, away!


    Right now was the time for his performance. He couldn''t wait to see everyone''s stupefied expressions. It must be very interesting.


    Ah!


    The brawny Martial Cultivator bellowed and took the opportunity to push the Qilin out.


    However, things did not turn out as expected. Under the strong Martial Cultivator''s efforts, the Qilin did not even budge an inch.


    The burly Martial Cultivator''s face instantly flushed red as he urged all the Elemental Energy in his body to push the Qilin out.


    Sweat flowed down Martial Cultivator''s face, wetting his clothes.


    Bang!


    Ah ¡­


    Following the cries of the burly Martial Cultivator, he was already lying on the ground, gasping for air.


    His mind was blank. He couldn''t remember how Kirin had pushed him away.


    The burly Martial Cultivator slowly stood up. At this moment, he didn''t even have the strength to raise his arms.


    The burly Martial Cultivator shook his head and walked out, his entire back hunched.


    Li Xie retracted his gaze, and refocused his gaze on the Qilin.


    Who else wanted to try pushing Qilin away?


    I''ll do it!


    Before his voice fell, Li Xie had already walked over to the Qilin''s side. He extended his hands and pressed onto the Qilin''s body, then urged the Elemental Energy in his body to enter his hands and feet.


    Yo, brat, you actually dare to try and push away the qilin.


    Don''t try to persuade him, let''s just wait and watch a good show!


    Yes, if he dies, we will throw his corpse into the wilderness and finish him off!


    Li Xie did not pay attention to their mocking, but at this moment, all of his attention was on the Qilin''s body.


    The Wanguan Stone originated from the Profound Sky Region, one of the ten great heavenly regions. Li Xie had coincidentally stayed there for three months.


    Ten thousand stalagmites could be seen everywhere in the Mystic Heaven Realm and the Martial Cultivator s of the Mystic Heaven Realm used them to train their arms.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    Everyone was greatly shocked. The qilin, which was as stable as Mount Tai, unexpectedly had a sliver of movement.


    The Elemental Energy in Li Xie''s body was already boiling. He pushed the Qilin away a few steps in one go, and even cut several marks on the ground.


    How was this possible!


    The surprised exclamations of the crowd reached Li Xie''s ears, but Li Xie did not get excited because of it.


    Martial Cultivator who was standing at the back of the crowd stared at Li Xie, his eyes completely dazed.


    Just now, he had spent a great amount of effort to not be able to push the Qilin, but Li Xie had done it.


    Li Xie took a step back, and the boiling Elemental Energy inside his body gradually calmed down.


    Just at this moment, a powerful ray of light descended from the sky and enveloped Li Xie within. Li Xie immediately turned around and signaled Miao Linger to run to his side as soon as possible.


    Miao Linger did not hesitate, and immediately ran to Li Xie''s side.


    Under the enveloping of the strong light, Li Xie and Miao Linger felt that they were floating, and their feet started to leave the ground.


    "Whiz!"


    When the light disappeared, Li Xie and Miao Linger had already disappeared.


    Not good!


    When the crowd turned their attention back to the gate of the Zhu Rong family, the Fire Qilin, which was made of tens of thousands of hard stones, blocked the door once again.


    Everyone stamped their feet in anger, but there was nothing they could do.


    "Whiz!"


    When Li Xie and Miao Linger landed on the ground, they were already standing in the middle of Zhu Rong Village.


    Li Xie looked around. The Zhu Rong Villa was very different from the other villas, because the Zhu Rong Villa had a clear stream that flowed to the bottom.


    All the buildings in Zhu Rong Village circled around the stream, holding the entire river in their arms.


    Strangely, there didn''t seem to be any patrolling guards in Zhu Rong Village.


    Following the waves of wine aroma from not too far away, Li Xie knew where he should go.


    With large strides, Li Xie walked towards the direction where the aroma of the wine came from, with Miao Linger following closely behind.


    Passing through the corridor, passing through the floating bridge, passing through the high and low houses, Li Xie and Miao Linger arrived at a place that overflowed with the smell of alcohol.


    This place was the distillery of Zhu Rong Mountain, and was the most sacred place in Zhu Rong Mountain.


    The outside of the Wine Pavilion was already filled with people, and they were all waiting for the appearance of the millennium wine.


    Among them were quite a few elderly men with white hair. They had heard about a thousand years'' worth of fine wine in Zhu Rong Mountain since they were young, but had never seen it before.


    Now that the opportunity was right in front of them, they were so excited that their bodies were trembling.


    At this moment, no one in Zhu Rong Village noticed the appearance of Li Xie and his sister.


    Li Xie and Miao Linger looked at each other and exchanged a look.


    Even though they had yet to see the thousand-year-old wine, just the smell of it alone was enough to make them feel relaxed and happy.


    Hahaha! He had succeeded!


    The door of the Wine Pavilion opened with a loud bang from the inside, and everyone looked inside.


    At this moment, a smiling old man came up to them with a jar of wine in his hand. The cup in his hand was a thousand year old wine.


    For the sake of this thousand year wine, several generations of Zhu Rong family''s leaders had spent a great deal of effort and resources, and a great amount of special medicine that belonged to their Zhu Rong family.


    The smiling elder looked at the crowd. He knew that they were all in the same mood as him.


    This smiling elderly man was the manor lord of Zhu Rong Village, Lin Bei, who was already over fifty years old.


    It was his idea to make those Fire Qilins, which were made from a pile of hard stones, block the door of the Zhu Rong family mansion, and he had found those stones himself.


    Being able to hold the thousand year wine in both hands, he was more excited than anyone else.


    This jar of thousand year wine could not only extend life, it could also increase the realm of Martial Cultivator.


    Villa Owner Lin! Li Xie walked through the crowd and arrived in front of Lin Bei, clasping his fists towards him as he greeted.


    Lin Bie looked at Li Xie up and down, revealing a completely new face.


    We haven''t had guests in Zhu Rong Mountain for quite a while. Lin Yuan said with a smile.


    We''re doing this for...


    I know where you came from, it''s getting late, you should stay in the Zhu Rong Village and rest for the night! Lin Wu said.


    It was better to obey than to be respectful! Li Xie replied.


    A few hours later, the Zhu Rong family mansion was already shrouded in darkness.


    Looking at the surrounding area, the Zhu Rong family was in a joyous atmosphere.


    The most lively place was the living room of the Zhu Rong Villa. The living room was already packed with people, Li Xie and Miao Linger were in there.


    Lin Bei had already placed the thousand year wine in a safe place. He wouldn''t allow anyone to disturb him.


    Lin Bei stood up and finished the wine in his bowl.


    Even though he was a Martial Cultivator, in his eyes, fine wine was much more important than the realm of Martial Cultivator.


    Therefore, he stayed in Zhu Rong Mountain, and decided to spend the rest of his life together with those fine wines.


    Miao Linger looked around, and she realized that there were quite a few people who were staring at her and Li Xie, and all of them had malicious expressions in their eyes.


    After all, they were outsiders, especially on this special day.


    Just then, Lin Bei placed the bowl of wine to the side, and then quickly walked to Li Xie and Miao Linger''s side.

 C86

    Li Xie and Miao Linger stood up and bowed towards Lin Bei Bei. Even if they were guests, they had to follow the rules.


    Lin Bei stroked her long beard and nodded at Li Xie. He had a good impression of Li Xie.


    Compared to the other young Martial Cultivator s, Li Xie was not impulsive and knew his limits, especially when compared to the Yun Family Martial Cultivator s.


    Young man, please come with me to the study. Lin Bei patted Li Xie''s shoulder and gave him a glance.


    Manor Lord, I want to go to the study as well!


    Li Xie looked towards the source of the voice and saw that the person who spoke was a youngster around his age.


    This young man should have quite a high position in Zhu Rong Village, because his eyes were filled with a strong sense of power.


    Not long ago, when Li Xie appeared in the living room, he had been observing his every move.


    Lin Bei nodded at him, then turned around and walked towards Zhu Rong Village''s study room with big steps.


    The study room of Zhu Rong Mountain was in the backyard, which was not far from the living room.


    Other than staying in the Wine Pavilion for a relatively long period of time, Li Lin spent more time in his study than in his bedroom.


    Following Li Xie and the others into the study room, the door closed up.


    The furnishings in the study room were simple, there were only tables, chairs, books and nothing else.


    Li Xie cupped his fists towards the young man beside Lin Bie and bowed. The young man quickly returned the greeting, appearing rather casual.


    Young man, I don''t know your name yet. Lin Wu said.


    Villa Master Lin, I am Li Xie, and she is called Ling''er. Li Xie replied.


    When Lin Dong''s gaze fell on Miao Linger, she bowed towards him.


    Oh, so it''s Young Master Li and Miss Ling''er. What are your goals for coming here? Lin Bei asked solemnly.


    Villa Master Lin, to tell you the truth, we came to Zhu Rong Village under the request of Young Master Dongfang, because the soul of the Eastern Patriarch was trapped in the Heaven''s Suppressing Pagoda by a Yun Clan Martial Cultivator, the condition he put forward was to offer three unrivalled treasures in exchange for them, one of which was a thousand years'' worth of wine. Li Xie said in detail.


    After the young man standing beside Lin Bei heard what Li Xie had to say, he involuntarily clenched his fists.


    The Yun Clan Martial Cultivator you mentioned that trapped the soul of the Eastern Patriarch in the Heaven Suppressing Pagoda should be Shi Jianchuan! Lin Wu said.


    Could it be that Villa Master Lin has met this Martial Cultivator from the Yun Clan? Li Xie asked with interest.


    Not only had they met, but he had also repeatedly broken into Zhu Rong Village just for the sake of a thousand years'' worth of good wine! Lin Dong said with his eyes narrowed.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows, because this Shi Jianchuan had quite the ability. Not only was he able to trap Dongfang Liang''s soul in the Heaven Suppressing Pagoda, he was also able to break into the Zhu Rong Villa several times.


    If he had the chance, he would definitely fight Shi Jianchuan to a standstill.


    He was a Martial Cultivator, so naturally, he would be full of fighting spirit when facing off against other outstanding opponents.


    Can you give me the thousand year wine to bring back the Ziyang City? Li Xie asked.


    Lin Bei fell into deep thoughts. This thousand year wine had consumed the blood and sweat of many generations of Zhu Rong Village.


    If they gave it to Li Xie to bring back to the sect, wouldn''t all the hard work they had done in the few generations of Zhu Rong Mountain Villa go to waste?


    However, handing over the thousand year wine was to save the life of the Eastern Patriarch, so he couldn''t reject it.


    If the Eastern Patriarch truly died, their Zhu Rong Villa would also die with them.


    Lin Bei was in deep thought, but he still couldn''t think of a way to achieve the best of both worlds.


    The atmosphere in the study room suddenly froze. Li Xie and Miao Linger were both waiting to hear Lin Dong''s reply.


    At this time, the young man standing next to Lin Bie tiptoed and whispered a few words into his ear, causing Lin Bie''s eyes to light up.


    Lin Bo tilted his face as he looked at the young man beside him and smiled in a gratified manner.


    When Lin Xin stopped looking at Li Xie, his eyes were already much brighter.


    Young Master Li, as long as you can help our Zhu Rong Village find the Heavy Honor Battle Armor, I can offer the thousand years wine with both of my hands! Lin Wu said.


    The Heavy Honor battle uniform set? What is that? Li Xie asked suspiciously.


    The Heavy Honor battle uniform was originally passed down from generation to generation from Zhu Rong Mountain Villa''s leader, but after the previous owner walked into the back mountain one thunderous night, he disappeared along with him. Lin Wu said.


    Villa Owner Lin, are you joking? All these years, you must have turned the back mountain upside down, yet you still couldn''t find it. How can we find it?! Miao Linger said with a gloomy face.


    If you can''t do it, then get out of here! The young man standing beside Lin Bei said in an impatient tone.


    Lin took one look at the young man standing next to him, and the young man immediately looked away.


    Young Master Li, Miss Ling''er, a thousand years of good wine is way too important to our Zhu Rong family. Lin Bei frowned as he looked at Li Xie and.


    Li Xie and Miao Linger exchanged a glance. They only had two options right now, the first was to step into the back mountain of Zhu Rong Village to search for the Heavy Honor Armour that might no longer exist, and the second was to snatch it away.


    Miao Linger already told Li Xie with her eyes that no matter what decision he made, she would support him without any hesitation, even if it meant bloodshed in Zhu Rong Village.


    Villa Head Lin, I am willing to give it a try! Li Xie stared at Lin Bei Bei and spoke with determination.


    Lin Bei was dumbstruck, he took a while to regain his senses, she did not expect Li Xie to actually agree, his original intention was for Li Xie to retreat after knowing the difficulties.


    Brother Li, I want to go with you to the back mountain. Miao Linger turned her face to look at Li Xie and said.


    No, you''d better stay here! Li Xie said.


    Good! Young Master Li, as long as you can find the Heavy Honor Battle Armor for our Zhu Rong Village, I will definitely bring the thousand years old wine up to this stage, or else you will die a horrible death! Lin Bei said firmly.


    After an hour, Li Xie was already in the dense forest behind Zhu Rong Mountain Villa.


    In the secret room on the mountain behind Zhu Rong Mountain, only the bright moonlight shone through the leaves and fell on the ground, gradually spreading everywhere.


    Li Xie already held the Nine Souls Sword tightly in his hand, and borrowed the light that the Nine Souls Sword was emitting to walk forward.


    The back mountain of Zhu Rong Village was even wider than he had imagined, and it was also very quiet.


    The wind blew gently from all directions, making the air in the jungle slightly better.


    No one knew why the previous owner of Zhu Rong Village would walk into the back mountain alone on a thunderous night.


    The Heavy Honor battle robe passed down by the Zhu Rong family''s leader had disappeared along with him, without leaving even a single trace.


    Li Xie kept looking around him. He did not have much time left, he wanted to find the Heavy Glorious Armor before dawn.


    According to Lin Mu''s description, the Heavy Honor Armor was an armor that radiated spirit energy.


    It was said that over a thousand years ago, the first manor lord of Zhu Rong Village had built his manor in his luxurious battle clothes.


    "Hiss ¡­" "Hiss ¡­"


    Li Xie''s footsteps suddenly stopped. He immediately turned around and looked behind him.


    But whether it was the bushes or the grass, everything seemed quiet.


    Li Xie held the Nine Souls Sword and walked forward step by step. He was sure that the voice he had heard earlier was not an illusion.


    Bang


    Suddenly, several black clothed Martial Cultivator s appeared from the ground and took the chance to surround Li Xie.


    Several black clothed Martial Cultivator s stared coldly at Li Xie. Even though they were all wearing black, they did not cover their faces.

 C87

    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth rose, he had already understood that he had fallen into a trap.


    Moreover, this trap had been specially prepared for him, so he would naturally accept it humbly.


    Just then, an armored Martial Cultivator descended from the sky, and following his heels, the entire ground started to shake.


    The armored Martial Cultivator looked at Li Xie, his eyes emotionless.


    He had already stayed in the back mountain of Zhu Rong Village for quite a few years, his appearance would definitely set off a huge storm.


    Li Xie poured a wave of Elemental Energy into the hand of the Nine Souls Sword, causing it to shine even brighter.


    Facing the coming battle, he was already prepared.


    The armored Martial Cultivator waved his hand, and the black clothed Martial Cultivator surrounding Li Xie swarmed forward.


    Li Xie thought that the armored Martial Cultivator would say a few arrogant words to him, but unexpectedly, he immediately took action, becoming extremely fierce.


    Clang! Clang! Clang!


    With the wave of the blade, the ground under Li Xie''s feet became a mess.


    Li Xie''s feet tapped the air and he instantly flew up, taking the opportunity to stab towards the armored Martial Cultivator''s chest.


    The black-clothed Martial Cultivator s obviously wouldn''t let Li Xie have his way. They caught up to him while patting their horses, and then swung their blades towards Li Xie as they did so.


    Li Xie retrieved the Nine Souls Sword and flung it backwards, the Sword Qi whizzing out.


    The entire back mountain of Zhu Rong Mountain echoed with sounds of swords and daggers, and along with it, the murderous spirit grew stronger and stronger.


    "Whiz!" "Whiz!"


    Under the impact of the Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi, the black-clothed Martial Cultivator s that were besieging Li Xie fell to the ground.


    Just as Li Xie''s heels landed on the ground and just as he was about to walk towards the armored Martial Cultivator, those black-clothed Martial Cultivator s stood up again.


    Li Xie turned around and saw that the black-robed Martial Cultivator''s body, which had originally been penetrated by the Sword Qi, was actually unharmed.


    They coldly smiled at Li Xie, and their hands once again brandished their shiny blades.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows, it seemed like this group of people were not of the mortal race.


    It was only then that Li Xie noticed that they were not human, because they were not human!


    Li Xie clenched his Nine Souls Sword tightly in his right hand. At this moment, he was even more excited than before.


    Stinking brat, with just your weak Elemental Energy s, you won''t be able to harm us! The armored Martial Cultivator squinted at Li Xie and said.


    Are you a group of souls? Li Xie asked with interest.


    Right, we just received the order, your head must remain here forever! The armored Martial Cultivator said, his tone was extremely cold.


    Could it be another order from Lin? Li Xie took a step forward and asked.


    You''re going to be a corpse soon, what''s the use of knowing so much! The armored Martial Cultivator said.


    Heh, if you want me to become a corpse, that depends on how capable you are! Li Xie said with a smile.


    All of you step aside. Now, I have to do it myself! The armored Martial Cultivator roared.


    The black clothed Martial Cultivator s standing behind Li Xie all retreated a few steps, the armored Martial Cultivator s were unable to disobey their orders.


    The armored Martial Cultivator raised his blade and pointed it at Li Xie''s heart, filled with killing intent!


    After he kills Li Xie, Li Xie''s soul will also become his subordinate.


    The armored Martial Cultivator appeared in front of Li Xie in a flash and raised his blade to slash at Li Xie''s neck with the force of a hot knife piercing through bamboo!


    Li Xie leaped and landed behind the armored Martial Cultivator, and then turned and immediately thrusted his Nine Souls Sword towards the armored Martial Cultivator.


    The armoured Martial Cultivator''s mouth twitched, and he immediately swung his blade backwards.


    When the Nine Souls Sword and the big blade clashed, Li Xie staggered back a few steps.


    His cultivation was higher than Li Xie''s, and he seemed to have endless strength!


    Abruptly, the armored Martial Cultivator turned around to face Li Xie, and fiercely slashed towards his vitals.


    As long as Li Xie was one step slower, he would have been immediately cut into two!


    Brat, you''re too weak! The armored Martial Cultivator said coldly.


    Heh! You''re not very strong either! Li Xie waved his Nine Souls Sword and went forward to welcome the armored Martial Cultivator.


    Clang!


    Like a bolt from the blue, the Nine Souls Sword in Li Xie''s hand clashed once again with the armored Martial Cultivator''s blade.


    The armored Martial Cultivator glared at Li Xie, wanting to tear him to shreds.


    The armoured Martial Cultivator kept on lowering the blade in his hand, trying to split it into two with and the Nine Souls Sword.


    The ground beneath Li Xie''s feet had already cracked, and was becoming more and more intense. Martial Cultivator s in armor were extremely strong.


    He was already at least a high-leveled Martial Cultivator in the Profound Realm, and every time he brandished his long blade, it was always fierce and powerful.


    Don''t struggle to the death, it''s meaningless! The armored Martial Cultivator advised.


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth raised, as he pulled the Nine Souls Sword back into its foothold and pierced towards the armored Martial Cultivator''s heart.


    Swoosh!


    By the time the armored Martial Cultivator reacted, his chest had already been pierced.


    Just then, the armoured Martial Cultivator reached out his left hand and grabbed onto the blade of the Nine Souls Sword.


    Humph! I just said you can''t hurt me! As soon as he finished speaking, the armored Martial Cultivator glared at Li Xie, and a strong wave of Elemental Energy pounced at Li Xie, sending him flying.


    Bang!


    Li Xie stood up shakily. When he looked at the armored Martial Cultivator, the Nine Souls Sword had already been cut into two halves by the armored Martial Cultivator.


    Afterwards, the armored Martial Cultivator threw the Nine Souls Sword to the side like a blade of grass. With a sneer, he walked towards Li Xie.


    Bang!


    Swift as lightning, when Li Xie came back to his senses, the armoured Martial Cultivator had already punched him on the shoulder.


    Li Xie flew out again, blood flying along the corner of his mouth.


    When he landed on the ground, there was already a hole behind him.


    Li Xie crawled out of the hole, and then wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth.


    Why don''t you give up? Is someone waiting for you? The armored Martial Cultivator asked.


    Yes, someone was waiting for me. Li Xie calmly replied.


    Oh, after I kill you, I will show your head to the person waiting for you. The armored Martial Cultivator said excitedly.


    How cruel you are! Li Xie shouted.


    Ruthlessness is the best gift for dealing with you weak people! The armored Martial Cultivator sneered.


    Nine Souls Sword, we should take it seriously! Li Xie roared.


    Swoosh!


    The Nine Souls Sword that was originally split into two pieces instantly became perfectly fine, and following that, it cut through the night sky and returned to Li Xie''s hands.


    Li Xie pointed the Nine Souls Sword at the heart of the armored Martial Cultivator. The Sword Qi on the blade edge had already begun to move.


    I don''t believe that you can escape from my Five Fingers Mountain! Before his voice fell, the armored Martial Cultivator had already rushed to Li Xie''s front.


    Boom!


    Amidst the loud noise, the ground beneath the armored Martial Cultivator had already been flipped over, and a cloud of dust was flying everywhere.


    The armoured Martial Cultivator retreated quickly, his hand gripping his blade numb.


    Li Xie jumped up, the Nine Souls Sword in his hands was already getting closer and closer to the armored Martial Cultivator!


    The armoured Martial Cultivator gritted his teeth as he stopped in his tracks, taking the chance to brandish his blade forward.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    The armored Martial Cultivator turned pale with fright, the big blade in his hand was actually cut apart by the Nine Souls Sword.


    Bang! Bang bang!


    The nearby black-clothed Martial Cultivator s all rushed over to Li Xie. They gathered their Elemental Energy into blades and gripped them tightly in their hands.


    Li Xie''s mouth formed a smile, then leaped up, and instantly soared into the sky.

 C88

    Infuriated!


    Boom!


    The vast Sword Qi rushed out in all directions, even if it was a mountain peak, it would still be razed to the ground!


    The night sky behind the mountain of the Zhu Rong family turned into a great mess, as if the world was falling apart.


    Ah ¡­


    Waves of screams resounded in the night sky of the mountain behind Zhu Rong Mountain, which frightened all the birds and beasts hiding in the woods, making them flee in all directions.


    The black clad Martial Cultivator''s eyes were bloodshot, they didn''t know where to run to.


    The sound of bodies being torn apart filled Li Xie''s ears one after another as the black clothed Martial Cultivator fell to the ground in succession.


    The Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi continued until it completely engulfed the black-clothed Martial Cultivator s.


    The armored Martial Cultivator retreated step by step, his eyes completely dark.


    This was the rear mountain of Zhu Rong Mountain, which was his territory, but he had lost the upper hand.


    He could hear the Sword Qi galloping back and forth. This made him tremble all over.


    But he quickly regained his composure, because he was the soul of Martial Cultivator''s highest realm!


    He wouldn''t die, at least he didn''t think that Li Xie would be able to kill him!


    Hiss! Hiss!


    Streams of Sword Qi pierced through the armored Martial Cultivator''s chest, but he was still standing at his original position.


    The armored Martial Cultivator raised his hands up high, his expression extremely sinister.


    Along with the disappearance of the Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi, the mountain behind Zhu Rong Mountain gradually returned to its previous calm state, however, the area was now in an extremely sorry state.


    Li Xie extended his line of sight forward, just in time to meet the eyes of the armored Martial Cultivator.


    Your sword technique is still powerful. I''m already injured, but I''m not dead yet! The armored Martial Cultivator raised his eyebrows and said.


    En, I will turn you into ashes right now! Just as he finished speaking, Li Xie''s right hand shook, and a beam of Purple Radiant True Flame and the Sword Qi converged and rushed towards the armored Martial Cultivator.


    Ah!


    The armored Martial Cultivator''s eyes were red as he watched his body fall apart.


    The feeling of falling into the bottomless abyss surged in his mind, the armored Martial Cultivator''s heart was already in a mess.


    Impossible!


    A gust of wind blew by, and the armored Martial Cultivator''s voice disappeared along with his body.


    Li Xie kept the Nine Souls Sword and heaved a sigh of relief. This time, the competition with the armored Martial Cultivator caused the Elemental Energy in his body to consume a lot of energy.


    When Lin Yi''s face appeared in front of Li Xie, the Elemental Energy in Li Xie''s body started to seethe again.


    He was going to leave the back of the mountain and return to Zhu Rong Mountain to demand justice from Lin Bei.


    He originally didn''t want to fight against the swords and sabers of Zhu Rong Mountain, but Lin Dong''s other actions had disappointed him.


    Since Lin Dong was so despicable and treacherous, he wouldn''t be so polite with Lin Fan. It was already hard to avoid confrontation between blades and swords.


    Right now, his anger had already been set ablaze, enough to burn down the entire Zhu Rong Village.


    A short while later, the huge Zhu Rong Villa once again appeared in front of Li Xie''s eyes.


    However, after leaving Zhu Rong Village for just a short while, Li Xie felt that Zhu Rong Villa had already changed.


    The corridor had already become empty, and the sound of flowing water had become very faint. The happy atmosphere from not long ago was completely gone, as if Zhu Rong Mountain had already been emptied out.


    At this moment, what Li Xie was most worried about was not the thousand year wine but Miao Linger''s safety.


    Li Xie walked towards the study room of Zhu Rong Village with the Nine Souls Sword in his hands, but he still didn''t see a single person along the way.


    Li Xie couldn''t help but raise his eyebrows, thinking that maybe Lin wasn''t playing any tricks.


    At this moment, the Nine Souls Sword in Li Xie''s hand trembled slightly.


    Li Xie''s footsteps suddenly stopped. The study room was already right in front of him.


    Li Xie gazed into the study room. The study room was empty, without any trace of Lin Mu.


    Where did they all go? No one would answer this question from Li Xie.


    Now even the moonlight in the night sky was cool, devoid of the summer atmosphere.


    Bang!


    Li Xie immediately looked towards the direction where the sound came from, only to see the young man who was standing beside Lin Bei not long ago standing on the rooftop to his left.


    At this moment, the young man had already changed his face, his mouth full of ruthlessness.


    The young man sized Li Xie up carefully. He was a little disappointed, because Li Xie had actually made it back from their back mountain alive.


    Originally, the beautiful rear mountain should have been a good place for Li Xie to sleep for a long time, but Li Xie didn''t value it.


    Since that was the case, the young man was prepared to send Li Xie to the west.


    Following the young man''s cold laughter, Miao Linger and Lin Bei suddenly appeared on his left and right side.


    Miao Linger lied on the rooftop, as if she was immersed in her dreams.


    Lin Bei, on the other side of the young man, had already woken up. He was glaring at the young man.


    Lin Bie He never dreamed that the young people would betray him. The feeling of being betrayed was very unpleasant.


    If possible, Lin Bei would rather not bring the young man back to Zhu Rong Village.


    Manor Lord, since you are old, it is time for you to relinquish your position! The young man glanced at Lin Bei as he spoke.


    Humph! Even if I were to abdicate and give up my position, I still wouldn''t give it to you! Lin Bei said angrily.


    Don''t be angry, the easier it is for a person to be angry, the more useless he is! The young man said coldly.


    Lin Zun, I am truly blind. It is only now that I know that you are an ungrateful bastard! Lin Bei raised his finger and pointed at the young man as he spoke.


    Manor lord, don''t worry, I will definitely make Zhu Rong Village prosper! Lin Zun raised his head and said.


    I''m going to kill you, but I can''t let this thousand-year-old Zhu Rong Village be destroyed by you! Before he could finish his words, Lin Bie stepped forward and grabbed Lin Zun''s neck.


    Lin Zun smiled calmly. Lin Bei was already old, and using all his strength, he could only muster that little strength.


    Lin Zun glared at Lin Bei, and a wave of powerful Elemental Energy pounced towards Lin Bei, causing him to instantly fall to the ground.


    Just as Lin Bie was about to stand up, Lin Zun stepped forward and placed his left foot on Lin Bie''s chest, still pushing down.


    Manor Lord, stop struggling and accept your fate! Lin Zun lowered his head and advised.


    Young Master Li, help me kill him! Lin Bei turned his face to look at Li Xie, as he placed all his hope on Li Xie.


    The corner of Lin Zun''s mouth twitched, he raised his leg and kicked Lin Bei flying.


    Lin Bei only landed miserably after knocking over the fake mountain.


    After landing on the ground, Lin Bei had already fainted and was at the mercy of others.


    Lin Zun retracted his gaze and landed on Li Xie''s body.


    In Lin Zun''s heart, if he wanted to bring glory to Zhu Rong Village, he would have to first trample over the Dongfang family''s Ziyang City, otherwise, it would be just a pipe dream.


    And Li Xie had come to Zhu Rong Villa from the Ziyang City, so Lin Zun couldn''t wait to take Li Xie''s head off, and then send him back to the Ziyang City.


    Right now, it was a golden opportunity for Lin Zun. As long as Dongfang Liang did not wake up, the Dongfang family''s vitality would be greatly damaged.


    Li Xie, don''t even think about living to see the sun tomorrow! Lin Zun shouted.


    Villa Owner Lin has done you a favor, and yet you actually dared to do it. Aren''t you afraid of being struck by lightning? Li Xie''s face was gloomy as he asked.


    You are too stupid. I am the only one who can bring glory to Zhu Rong Village. He is no longer suitable to stay in Zhu Rong Village. Lin Zun said.


    Come on, I''ll do it for the heavens! Li Xie said as he pointed the Nine Souls Sword towards Lin Zun.


    Hehe, you really are reckless! Lin Zun sneered.


    Li Xie raised his Nine Souls Sword and rushed towards Lin Zun. The corner of Lin Zun''s mouth twitched and he took the opportunity to throw the unconscious Miao Linger out.


    Li Xie immediately kept the Nine Souls Sword and caught Miao Linger who was thrown to the ground by Lin Zun.

 C89

    Then, Li Xie landed steadily with Miao Linger in his arms, his face now as pale as paper.


    Furthermore, Miao Linger''s breathing was very weak, and might not be able to wake her up for a while.


    Swoosh!


    Suddenly, Miao Linger opened her eyes and thrusted the dagger in her sleeve towards Li Xie''s chest.


    At this time, Miao Linger''s face regained its luster, and her mouth revealed a sinister smile.


    Li Xie turned his body, and the dagger in his hand brushed past his shoulder.


    Just then, Miao Linger''s figure flashed and she suddenly appeared behind Li Xie.


    Just as she was about to sneak attack Li Xie, Li Xie had already turned and looked at her, his eyes cold to the bone.


    Who the hell are you? Li Xie asked, his tone extremely cold.


    My name is Hong Hua! With that, she turned in a circle and returned to her original appearance.


    If it wasn''t for Hong Hua and Lin Zun joining hands, perhaps Lin Bei would still be the owner of Zhu Rong Village.


    Like Lin Zun, Red Flower was brought back to Zhu Rong Manor by Lin Bei when she was very young.


    One of them was filled with hatred, while the other was filled with ambition.


    Where is Miao Linger? Li Xie turned his face to look at Lin Zun and asked.


    Rest assured, she is so beautiful, I will definitely treat her well! Let her give me a few more big fat boys! Lin Zun''s lips twitched as he said.


    "Whiz!"


    Hong Hong Hua waved her dagger and pounced towards Li Xie. Her eyes were already red.


    If they did not kill Li Xie, then all the effort she and Senior Lin had spent for so many years would have been in vain.


    She wanted revenge, and she would not allow anyone to stand in front of her.


    Swoosh!


    Li Xie picked the Nine Souls Sword behind him, the Sword Qi flashed past, and the dagger in Red Flower''s hand immediately disintegrated.


    Hong Hua was shocked, she immediately retreated back and opened up a distance between her and Li Xie.


    She only hated herself for being so slow; otherwise, she would have already sent Li Xie to see Yama Minamiya.


    A strong wave of killing intent blew over, and Red Flower could not help but tremble.


    Red Flower''s eyes turned and she quickly leapt onto the roof behind her and ran towards Lin Zun.


    In her eyes, she would be safe as long as she ran to Lord Lin''s side.


    Boom!


    Without waiting for Red Flower to reach Lin Zun, a thick stream of Sword Qi pounced towards her, causing the roof under her feet to instantly collapse.


    The red flower had no time to avoid the attack and was directly buried under the collapsed roof.


    The red flower struggled for a while, but eventually calmed down.


    Lin Zun''s eyes widened, he never thought that Hong Hua would lose to Li Xie so quickly.


    But even so, Lin Zun did not think that Li Xie could stop his plan!


    Li Xie, you shouldn''t be happy too early, you''re definitely not my opponent! Lin Zun roared.


    Oh, why? Li Xie raised his eyebrows and asked with interest.


    Because I have the thousand-year wine unique to our Zhu Rong family in my hands! Lin Zun said excitedly.


    At this moment, Lin Zun extended his right hand forward and opened his palm, a jar of thousand year wine emitting a strange glow appeared before his eyes.


    Lin Zun narrowed his eyes and smiled. As long as he finished the thousand year wine in one gulp, he would be able to flatten Zhu Rong Mountain even if he wanted to.


    Under the gaze of Lin Zun, the thousand-year-old wine was opened.


    Threads of thick and distant wine fragrance permeated the air, causing the night to become much more beautiful.


    Lin Zun, enough! Don''t make the same mistake again!


    Lin Zun turned his head and saw that Lin Bei, who had originally fainted, had actually woken up.


    Maybe it was the call for a thousand years of fine wine, but that didn''t change anything.


    Tonight, he would take the thousand year wine for himself!


    Manor Lord, it''s good for you to wake up. Then, I''ll drink the thousand year wine right in front of you! Faster! Lin Zun said with a smile.


    Ah!" That was the hard work of the Zhu Rong family''s leader for generations! Lin Bei yelled at the top of his lungs.


    Li Xie rose into the air with the Nine Souls Sword in hand and took the opportunity to charge at Lin Zun.


    The corner of Lin Zun''s mouth twitched, he then flung his left hand, and rubble and dust gathered together to face Li Xie''s attack.


    At this critical moment, Lin Zun absolutely would not allow anyone to disturb him.


    Gulu...


    Lin Zun drank it all in one gulp while holding the thousand-year wine. Suddenly, he felt his whole body brimming with power!


    As Lin Zun finished the thousand-year wine, the wine jar vanished into thin air.


    Lin Zun quietly looked at Li Xie, and the dust and rocks that were approaching Li Xie had all scattered on the ground.


    Lin Zun raised his hands high up in the air, as strong Elemental Energy flowed through his body.


    At this moment, Lin Zun felt that he possessed the ability to change days.


    Lin Zun''s left hand trembled, and a cold saber appeared in his hand.


    Lin Zun pointed his long blade at Li Xie, the blade immediately whistled out, and instantly the ground in front of Li Xie was ripped apart.


    Die! Li Xie!


    Just as he shouted, Lin Zun waved his blade and rushed in front of Li Xie.


    Clang! Clang!


    Every swing of Lin Zun''s blade was at full strength, as he tried to not give Li Xie a chance to catch his breath.


    Li Xie leisurely brandished the Nine Souls Sword, despite the fact that Master Lin''s cultivation had increased greatly.


    Under Senior Lin''s attack, the of the Nine Souls Sword was completely destroyed.


    Lin Zun swung his blade at Li Xie''s chest. The strength behind his strike was enough to split open a mountain!


    Bang!


    Li Xie did not dodge. Instead, he raised his Nine Souls Sword to face the adversity, and lightning flashed and thunder roared in the night sky.


    The corner of Lin Zun''s mouth twitched. He could actually see endless fighting spirit in Li Xie''s eyes.


    He was enraged, he would make Li Xie''s eyes filled with endless despair!


    Ah!


    Lin Zun jumped up into the air and fiercely swung his blade towards Li Xie''s neck.


    In his eyes, Li Xie was already a dried up corpse.


    Bang!


    As if the sky had collapsed and the earth had cracked, Li Xie held onto the Nine Souls Sword tightly as he staggered backwards.


    Lin Zun raised his long saber and quickly chased after them. The ground under his feet was left with smoking footprints.


    The thousand-year wine''s power continued to grow as Lord Lin was already fast asleep within it.


    Hehe! You''re dead meat! Lin Zun stared at Li Xie and said sinisterly.


    Boom!


    When the long blade in Lin Zun''s hand clashed head on with the Nine Souls Sword in Li Xie''s hands, the ground beneath their feet started to crack.


    Lin Zun''s eyes were blazing with fire, he was trying to burn Li Xie to ashes!


    Lin Zun kept injecting the Elemental Energy in his body into his long blade, causing the edge of the blade to become even sharper!


    Boom!


    The corner of Lin Zun''s mouth twitched, all of the broken stones in the area gathered together, and then rushed down from the sky towards Li Xie.


    In a split-second, Li Xie pulled the Nine Souls Sword back and took advantage of it to retreat.


    However, under Lin Zun''s instructions, the stones that were gathered together once again rushed to Li Xie''s back, and attacked together with Lin Zun.


    Lin Zun laughed crazily, he seemed to have seen Li Xie''s bloody appearance!


    Li Xie, to die in my hands, you definitely won''t lose! Lin Zun shouted.


    Boom!


    How is this possible!?


    The group of shattered rocks that were rushing towards Li Xie''s back were actually stopped outside the door by the Elemental Energy that had pounced out of Li Xie''s body.


    Lin Zun gasped. Even at this stage, Li Xie still had the strength to fight.


    Lin Zun glared at him. No matter what, he had to make sure that all the power brought to him by the thousand year wine could be used by him!


    In the blink of an eye, Lin Zun''s arms thickened several times and his body became much taller.


    Lin Zun approached Li Xie step by step, while Zhu Rong Mountain Villa shook along with him.

 C90

    At that moment, Li Xie was but a weak ant in Lord Lin''s eyes!


    Lin Zun felt that he only needed to move his pinky to kill Li Xie dozens of times.


    He seemed to see Hong Hua''s smiling face, because Li Xie was about to be buried with her!


    Lin Zun threw the long blade in his hand, and ten blades rushed towards Li Xie like a pack of angry wolves.


    The pack of wolves galloped forward, leaving not a single one behind!


    He had already closed his eyes, waiting to hear Li Xie''s heart-wrenching screams!


    Boom ¡­ Boom ¡­


    Lin Zun abruptly opened his eyes, then became stupefied. The dozens of blades that were charging towards Li Xie were actually destroyed one by one.


    Other than this, the sword marks on the ground were all covered with Sword Qi!


    Lin Zun''s facial features twitched, he raised his long blade and rushed towards Li Xie.


    The blade of the longblade tore through the air, emitting sparks one after another!


    Hiss!


    Lin Zun lowered his head and saw a flash of Sword Qi and a cut was made on his chest.


    Blood flowed freely from the wound, and Lin Zun''s breathing became erratic in an instant.


    He had already used his full strength, but Li Xie was still alive and well.


    "Whiz!"


    Lin Zun anxiously turned his head, Li Xie was already behind him with the Nine Souls Sword in his hand, like a gale wind.


    He simply could not believe his own eyes. Li Xie was even more plentiful than him, a Elemental Energy!


    He had already drunk all of the thousand years of good wine, so it was only right for him to turn Li Xie into ashes in a blink of an eye!


    Just as Lin Zun was about to rush towards Li Xie with his blade, he realized that his feet were no longer listening to him.


    Lin Zun''s eyes widened. He couldn''t control his body and kept retreating until he knocked over the wall behind him.


    Lin Zun wanted to walk forward, but a wave of dizziness made him unable to move.


    Sweat poured down like rain. At this moment, Lin Zun had already sunk into a bottomless abyss of exhaustion.


    The aftereffects of the thousand-year wine were already apparent, Lin Zun was no longer able to control it.


    What was going on? Lin Zun said in panic.


    Hmph, this is heaven''s will. With your talent, you won''t be able to bear the kindness of this thousand year wine! Lin Bei slowly stood up and said.


    Ah!" This was impossible! His eyes were bloodshot.


    Lin Bei walked towards Lin Zun step by step. Although his pace was a little slow, it was steady and steady.


    Lin Zun hurriedly looked away, not daring to meet Lin Fan''s gaze.


    The situation now was completely different from before. He could no longer control his own fate.


    This kind of feeling made Lin Zun feel despair. Moreover, it was a feeling of despair akin to falling off a cliff. He could not accept it, yet he had no choice but to accept it.


    When Lin Bie walked up to Lin Zun''s side, Lin Zun could smell the scent of death.


    He panicked. He wanted to kneel down and kowtow, but he couldn''t move.


    He mustered the courage to turn around and look at Lin Bie. At this moment, his eyes were filled with a pleading look. He did not want to die, even if it would be at the end of his life.


    However, he was disappointed. Don''t look at him with any hesitation in your eyes.


    Lin Zun, from now on, there will no longer be a place for you in Zhu Rong Village! Lin Wu said.


    Villa Owner Lin, I was just muddle-headed just now! Please give me a chance to start over! Lin Zun said anxiously.


    Humph! Lin Bei''s eyes widened as he summoned the dagger in his right hand and stabbed through Lin Zun''s chest.


    Lin Zun wanted to say a few more words, but a pair of invisible hands grabbed his throat.


    Lin Bie loosened his grip on the dagger and took a few steps back.


    Hiss ¡­


    The thousand-year wine continued to rush out as Supreme Lin''s body was riddled with holes.


    Lin Zun''s face was filled with pain, but he could only bear it.


    When all the thousand-year wine had rushed out of Lin Zun''s body, it was as if Lin Zun had been hollowed out, leaving nothing behind.


    Lin Zun raised his head and glanced at Lin Bei. His eyes immediately turned blank.


    As Lin Zun breathed in his last breath, his leather bag went limp on the ground like a pile of mud.


    Lin Bei heaved a long sigh. Originally, he had been nurturing Lin Zun, but he never expected Lin Zun to tie himself up into a cocoon.


    Lin Bie retracted his thoughts and extended his right hand forward. He opened his right palm and the 1000-year-old wine jar appeared once again.


    Li Xie extended his gaze forward, he knew what Lin Bei Bei was preparing to do.


    Following Lin Dong''s instructions, the thousand-year wine that rushed out of Lin Zun''s body gathered together and flowed into the wine jar in his palm.


    The thousand-year wine was not real wine, but it reeked of wine.


    Lin Bei had been with the millennium wine for so many years, of course he had the ability to do so.


    As the thousand year wine poured into the jar, the opening was sealed once again.


    Lin Bei turned around and quickly walked in front of Li Xie, held the thousand year wine in both hands and gave it to Li Xie.


    Villa Owner Lin, are you prepared to give me the thousand-year-old wine? Li Xie asked.


    That''s right, if it weren''t for you, perhaps Zhu Rong Manor would have been destroyed by that kid, Lin Zun, and you would be the benefactor of our Zhu Rong family from now on! Lin Bei sincerely said.


    Thank you, Villa Owner Lin! Li Xie stretched out both of his hands to steadily receive the thousand year old wine.


    Lin Bei stroked his beard and smiled. Even though he had already lost his thousand years of wine, he did not feel that it was a pity.


    Villa Owner Lin, do you know where Miss Ling''er is imprisoned? Li Xie asked anxiously.


    Yes, please come with me! As soon as he said that, Lin Bei took the lead.


    In the blink of an eye, it was already the morning of the third day.


    Miao Linger did not follow Li Xie into the Ziyang City. Instead, she chose to stay in the small town outside of the Ziyang City.


    The moment Li Xie stepped into the Dongfang Mansion, Liu Shang Jun immediately came forward to welcome him.


    Li Xie raised his brows, this was the first time he saw a trace of a smile on Liu Shang Jun''s face, this was enough to prove that he truly respected Dongfang Liang.


    Li Xie followed Liu Shang Jun''s footsteps and walked forward, passing through several corridors, past the crowded front yard, and reached the east yard.


    The current Dongfang Liang was still in a coma, and his face was even paler than a few days ago.


    Dong Fang slowly stood up and stood beside Dongfang Liang''s bed. He hadn''t had a good rest these few days, and his spirit was slightly exhausted.


    When the sound of footsteps came from outside the door, the sound of footsteps from the east gradually came out. As expected, it was Li Xie!


    Dongfang Jianyun immediately saluted towards Li Xie. This trip to Zhu Rong Mountain Villa must have been filled with hardships.


    Li Xie handed the thousand year wine to Dongfang Wenyi and let out a long sigh of relief.


    Dongfang slowly raised both of his hands to hold the thousand year old wine. He could feel a strong power surging back and forth in the wine jar.


    Dong Fang gradually turned around and placed the thousand year wine on the table. The other two peerless treasures had already been found by him.


    Li Xie looked at the table. He saw that both the Rage Heavenly Treasure Mirror and the Twin-Tailed Monkey were present.


    Liu Shang Jun quickly walked to the side of Dongfang Jiayi. At this moment, his brows were knitted together again.


    Young master, what should we do now? Liu Shang Jun asked.


    Wait for news from the Yun Clan Martial Cultivator! Dongfang Wenyi frowned and said.


    What if he never sends us a message? Liu Shang Jun said worriedly.


    Swoosh!


    A sharp arrow fell from the sky, landing on the table beside Dongfang Jiayi.


    The arrow''s tail was still swaying, and there was a white cloth tied to it. A line of powerful characters could be vaguely seen on the cloth.


    Liu Shang Jun rushed to the door, but there were no suspicious people outside.


    He turned around and walked back to the side of Dongfang Jiayi. He glanced at Dongfang Jiayi''s face.

 C91

    Just now, Liu Shang Jun was worried that the Yun Family''s Martial Cultivator would not take the initiative to contact them.


    Right now, when they had just gathered the three unparalleled treasures, a message had immediately came from the Yun Clan Martial Cultivator.


    He was still the young master of the Dongfang family, the future successor to the Dongfang family.


    Gongzi, how did he know that we have gathered all three of the unparalleled treasures that he requested? Master Liu couldn''t help but frown.


    Maybe there''s a spy in our Dongfang Mansion! Dong Fang''s expression gradually darkened as he said.


    Humph! I must pull him out and tear him into pieces! Liu Anjun clenched his fists and said.


    Dongfang slowly reached out and pulled the arrow out, then he took off the white cloth.


    When the east gradually opened up the white cloth, everyone''s attention was focused on it.


    After reading the words on the white cloth, Dong Fang gradually got up and Liu Shang Jun looked at Li Xie at the same time.


    Li Xie shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he did not know what was going on.


    Dongfang slowly rolled the white cloth into a ball, then squeezed with all his might. The white cloth turned into ashes in an instant, and the sharp arrow also turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.


    Young Master Li, I will now pass you all these three unparalleled treasures, you cannot disappoint us! The man from the east gradually raised his gaze and looked at Li Xie, and said.


    Brother Li, our Patriarch will depend on you to wake up! Liu Shang Jun bowed to Li Xie and said.


    An hour later, Li Xie brought three unparalleled treasures to the swanky slope outside Ziyang City City.


    The slope leading to the top of the Great Han-Slope required thousands of steps to climb. Usually, there would be people coming to climb the slope, but today, it was only Li Xie.


    Li Xie stood at the top of the slope, extending his line of sight forward, and was able to see half of the scenery in front of him due to the Ziyang City.


    After he successfully awakened Dongfang Liang, Li Xie didn''t know whether or not his Ziyang City would return to normal.


    In the past few days, the eastern side had gradually sealed off the news and very few people knew that Dongfang Liang had fallen into a coma.


    Ziyang City was a large city, and inside it, several small families and other sects were bustling with activity.


    Li Xie looked around, but he still could not find the figure of the Yun Clan Martial Cultivator.


    Li Xie knew very little about the Yun Clan, and he had not exchanged blows with any Yun Clan Martial Cultivator s either.


    The Wind Execution Continent''s East Qin Kingdom was vast, and other than the Transcendents and the Spirit Race, there were also the Shadow Clan, Cloud Clan, Wind Clan and other races.


    Even the Eastern Patriarch would not be very clear about where the Yun Clan was located at.


    Suddenly, the Nine Souls Sword inside the sword sheath trembled.


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth rose. He knew that the Yun Clan Martial Cultivator was definitely going to appear.


    The Yun Clan and the Spirit Race cultivated the same spiritual energy, which was different from the Common Clan''s cultivation Elemental Energy.


    I''m sorry I kept you waiting!


    Li Xie turned to look at where the voice came from, only to see a young man dressed in white robes descending from the sky!


    Waiting until the young man in white stabilized his pace, he cupped his fists and bowed towards Li Xie.


    The content written on the white cloth was for Li Xie to bring those three unparalleled treasures to the Han-Bao Hall, and it was even only him.


    Now, Li Xie stood in front of him, and was the same age as him from the legends.


    What impressed the young man in white the most wasn''t Li Xie''s handsome face, but the unwavering determination in his eyes.


    Furthermore, the young man in white had heard that Li Xie had fought with Devil Monarch and Su Cheng before.


    However, Su Cheng had gone to the Ten Heavenly Regions to cultivate, and might not be able to return to the East Qin Kingdom for a long time.


    Li Xie, we finally meet. A young man in white clothes said with a smile.


    I''m just a nobody. It''s the same whether I see or not. Li Xie said as he furrowed his brows.


    Hehe, hurry up and give me those three peerless treasures! The white clothed young man spread out his right hand as he spoke.


    Shouldn''t I give these three unrivalled treasures to you after you release the soul of the Eastern Patriarch from the Heaven Suppressing Pagoda? Li Xie said.


    Good! I will release Dongfang Liang''s soul from the Heaven Suppressing Pagoda right now! As soon as he finished speaking, a young man in white drew a circle with his left hand, and the Zhentian Tower suddenly appeared.


    Under the control of the white-robed young man, the Zhentian Tower slowly floated into the air before the gates to the tower opened.


    In the blink of an eye, a streak of soul consciousness rushed out of Zhentian Tower and flew towards the Ziyang City.


    Even though the speed at which the soul flew towards the Ziyang City was extremely fast, Li Xie was still able to clearly see that the soul was Dongfang Liang''s.


    The white-clothed young man faintly smiled, and Zhentian Tower disappeared without a trace.


    I have already released Dongfang Liang''s soul, those three unparalleled treasures, can you give them to me now? A young man in white clothes spoke to Li Xie.


    I don''t know your name yet. Li Xie said solemnly.


    My name is Shi Jianchuan, I am the most talented Martial Cultivator of the Yun Clan, and I am already a Sheng Domain Martial Cultivator at such a young age! A young man in white enunciated each word clearly.


    Shi Jianchuan''s tone of voice wasn''t heavy, but his voice was very loud and echoed in the air above the Good Han-Poe.


    There was a sky above the heavens, and there was always someone beyond the mortal world. These words were absolutely true.


    So it''s Young Master Shi! Nice to meet you! Li Xie cupped his hands and said.


    Shi Jianchuan did not reply. Instead, he opened the palm of his right hand and took the opportunity to give Li Xie a meaningful glance.


    Li Xie unsheathed his sword, and placed the three unparalleled treasures into the Nine Souls Sword s.


    In the blink of an eye, those three unparalleled treasures left the Nine Souls Sword and landed in the palm of Shi Jianchuan''s hand.


    Shi Jianchuan shook the sleeves of his right hand, and the Desolate Heavenly Treasure Mirror and the Twin-Tailed Spirit Monkey were instantly sucked in.


    If it were me, I would have drunk all the thousand-year-old wine on the way to the Great Han-Po. Shi Jianchuan glanced at Li Xie and said.


    Mm, I heard from Master Lin that you''ve been to Zhu Rong Village a few times. Li Xie said.


    Li Xie, I will return the thousand year wine to you. Shi Jianchuan said with a stern expression.


    Young Master Shi, what do you mean? Li Xie couldn''t help but raise his eyebrows and ask.


    Because of me, you will soon be left with no place to stand on in the Ziyang City. Shi Jianchuan said.


    Hm? I really want to know, who was the one who asked you to trap the soul of the Eastern Patriarch in the Heaven Suppressing Pagoda? Li Xie asked with interest.


    Who is he? Actually, you already know each other. Now is not the time, I can''t tell you, sorry. Shi Jianchuan said.


    Li Xie furrowed his brows and sunk into deep thought. To think that he could actually invite the Yun Family Divine Realm Martial Cultivator, Shi Jianchuan, to come out, that person must have a very respected identity.


    Which of the people he knew had such a high status? For a moment, Li Xie couldn''t think it through.


    Shi Jianchuan quickly walked to Li Xie''s side and passed the thousand year wine to him.


    No need, to me, a thousand-year-old wine isn''t that attractive. Since you''ve been salivating over it for a long time, you should hurry up and enjoy it! Li Xie looked at Shi Jianchuan and said.


    Since that''s the case, I don''t want this thousand year wine either! As soon as his words fell, Shi Jianchuan exerted force with his right hand, and the thousand year wine, along with the wine jar, burned to ashes.


    Li Xie was secretly shocked, Martial Cultivator of the Sheng Domain were powerful, the thousand year old wine was not even able to withstand a single blow from him.


    Furthermore, Shi Jianchuan was still so young, perhaps the Yun Clan could really rise again under Shi Jianchuan''s lead!

 C92

    In the blink of an eye, the massive Ziyang City had already been filled with the darkness of the night.


    Just as Li Xie was enjoying the moonlight in the rear courtyard of Dongfang Mansion, Liu Anjun ran over hurriedly. It seemed that something big happened to his Dongfang Mansion.


    Li Xie followed closely behind Liu Anjun and walked straight towards the living room of Dongfang Mansion. The closer they got to the living room, the more guards there were on both sides.


    The atmosphere of the entire Dongfang Mansion was very strange, but Li Xie would not panic just because of it.


    Li Xie glanced at Liu Shang Jun''s expression, ever since Dongfang Liang woke up, Liu Shang Jun has returned to his original personality.


    The black clothes on his body and his face made him look even more like a cold stone.


    Perhaps the army would not allow anyone to see through his emotions, and his thoughts.


    Li Xie withdrew his train of thoughts, and then took the chance to look forward. Dongfang Mansion''s living room was already very close.


    A few days ago, he had been to the living room of Dongfang Mansion, and had even fought with Zhang Ma.


    There must be a hidden reason behind Dongfang Liang inviting him to the living room.


    No matter what, Li Xie was already prepared to defend.


    Patriarch, Young Master Li has arrived! Liu Shang Jun stood at the entrance of the living room and bowed to Dongfang Liang as he spoke.


    Army, you can leave now. Dongfang Liang did not turn back as he said this, his back facing Liu Anjun.


    Yes, Patriarch! Liu Shang Jun turned and quickly walked past Li Xie.


    Li Xie turned to look at Liu Shang Jun, and saw that his back was also ice cold.


    Although Liu Shang Jun did not say anything, Li Xie could feel that Liu Shang Jun was trying to warn him.


    When Li Xie retracted his gaze and looked forward, Dongfang Liang had already turned around and was staring at him coldly.


    Li Xie frowned, he did not understand what Dongfang Liang meant. He was clearly Dongfang Liang''s savior, why would Dongfang Liang look at him that way.


    As if he was his enemy, Li Xie laughed bitterly on the inside.


    Dongfang Liang flung his long sleeves, and with a gust of wind, Zhang Ma''s body lay on the ground in front of him.


    Li Xie frowned, then quickly walked into the living room, then stood beside Zhang Ma''s corpse, Zhang Ma''s fatal injury was caused by the powerful Sword Qi.


    Li Xie suddenly understood why Dongfang Liang was looking at him with that cold gaze. It was because Dongfang Liang thought that he had killed Zhang Ma.


    This matter was too bizarre. It was clear that someone was deliberately framing him.


    Young Master Li, who said you saved my life? You are my savior, but our Dongfang Mansion is not a place where you can kill people just because you want to. Dongfang Liang lowered his voice and said.


    Eastern Patriarch, Zhang Ma did not die from my hands. Li Xie said sincerely.


    Dongfang Liang looked straight into Li Xie''s eyes. He did not believe what Li Xie had said.


    At this moment, Dongfang Liang had already considered Li Xie to be a person who was about to die an unforgivable death.


    Eastern Patriarch, what reason do you think I should kill Zhang Ma? Li Xie asked.


    I don''t know. I don''t need to know. Dongfang Liang said, his tone was exceptionally cold.


    Are you really the Eastern Patriarch? Li Xie asked, he felt that Dongfang Liang had been possessed.


    Dongfang Liang waved his hand, and dozens of guards of Dongfang Mansion descended from the sky, and then blocked off the entrance of the hall so that not even a drop of water could pass through.


    Li Xie did not turn back to look. He only needed to listen to what was going on outside.


    Inviting him into the living room was only a part of Dongfang Liang''s plan, but Dongfang Liang had long since prepared to make his move.


    In all of Dongfang Mansion, only you possess such a powerful Sword Qi, so I am very disappointed in you. Dongfang Liang shook his head and said.


    I want to see Young Master Dongfang! Li Xie said.


    Hm? Do you want to do something to my son? Dongfang Liang''s face was gloomy as he asked.


    Father, I think that the person who killed Zhang Ma was not Young Master Li.


    Li Xie turned his head back, and the guards who were blocking the entrance of the living room all moved to the side, and the people from the east side slowly walked to Li Xie''s side.


    Dongfang Liang gradually stood up as he watched the east side, and lightly furrowed his brows.


    Dong Fang gradually bowed towards Dongfang Liang. Facing the furious Dongfang Liang, he was not prepared to take back what he had just said.


    Dongfang Liang shook his head helplessly. He suddenly felt that his precious son was still too tender.


    Qi''er, how long have you and Li Xie known each other? Can you guarantee that Li Xie isn''t the type of person who would take revenge? Dongfang Liang stared at the east side of the gradually rising, and asked with a stern voice.


    If he was the kind of person who would take revenge for his enmity, perhaps he wouldn''t help out to get the thousand years old wine from Zhu Rong Mountain. Dong Fang slowly said.


    Qi''er, what do you mean by that? Do you think I''m ungrateful? Dongfang Liang frowned.


    Father, I am not saying that you are ungrateful. It is just that Young Master Li has just helped you wake up. Dong Fang slowly said.


    Li Xie turned his face to the side as he watched the scene unfold. Facing Dongfang Liang''s eyes which were filled with fury, the East unfurled and did not panic at all.


    Don''t you understand? Li Xie was in cahoots with the Yun Clan Martial Cultivator who owned the Heaven Suppressing Pagoda! Dongfang Liang shouted in anger.


    How is this possible? Dongfang slowly raised his face and looked at Li Xie in disbelief.


    Qi''er, you are really too kind, and that Li Xie fellow is too cunning! Dongfang Liang shifted his gaze away from Dongfang Wenyi and landed on Li Xie''s body.


    At that moment, Dongfang Liang was like a bloodthirsty Strange Beast, his eyes revealing a vicious light.


    Li Xie frowned, in just a few hours, he went from being the benefactor of the Dongfang family to becoming a cunning person, which was difficult for him to adapt to.


    Li Xie was even more confused. Why was Dongfang Liang so sure that he was in cahoots with Shi Jianchuan?


    Li Xie stood in his original position leisurely, and stared fixedly at Dongfang Liang.


    Young Master Li, is what my father said true? Dongfang slowly turned towards Li Xie and asked.


    Of course not! Li Xie replied calmly.


    Humph! Li Xie, oh Li Xie, I never thought that you were this kind of person, I dare not believe in you! Dongfang Liang said with a tone full of contempt.


    Eastern Patriarch, how can I admit what I have not done? Li Xie asked.


    Don''t try to quibble! Dongfang Liang waved his hand, and all of the Dongfang Mansion guards at the entrance of the guest hall pounced towards Li Xie.


    Tonight, even if he had to sacrifice all of his Dongfang Mansion''s guards, Dongfang Liang would definitely take Li Xie''s head off!


    Li Xie''s figure flashed and instantly appeared on the roof across the living room. At this moment, Li Xie felt that his Dongfang Mansion was an extremely unfamiliar place.


    He had originally planned to have a good night''s rest in Dongfang Mansion, but things did not go as he wished.


    The Dongfang Mansion guards all turned around and rushed towards Li Xie, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, as the footsteps of the guards reverberated in the air above the entire Dongfang Mansion.


    Li Xie originally wanted to unsheath his sword, but he quickly dismissed the idea.


    Young master Dongfang, we''ll meet again! Right after he finished speaking, Li Xie ran towards the end of the night with quick steps.


    An hour later, the Dongfang Mansion guards were still searching for Li Xie''s whereabouts.


    The entrance to the Ziyang City had long been closed, so Dongfang Liang was sure that Li Xie was still in the city.


    Even if he had to dig three feet out of the ground, Dongfang Liang had to dig Li Xie out.


    At this moment, in a guest room of the Swallow Spring Pavilion, a young Martial Cultivator was wiping the sword in his hand.


    The sword in his hand was not an ordinary sword, but a peerless Heaven grade weapon.

 C93

    This young Martial Cultivator was Li Xie. When he ran out of the Dongfang Mansion, he was immediately stopped by Su Mian, who he allowed to stay in the Swallow Spring Pavilion.


    Swallow Spring Pavilion was located in the western part of Ziyang City.


    Compared to the other places in Ziyang City City, Swallow Spring Pavilion was temporarily the safest.


    The candlelight in the guest room flickered slightly, just like Li Xie''s current state of mind, which was floating erratically.


    Under the influence of the Dongfang family, it would be even harder for him to leave the Ziyang City.


    Of course, he did not plan to leave the Ziyang City either. He would wait for the day that he could prove his innocence.


    Li Xie had never liked being wronged, and this feeling was even worse than being seriously injured.


    At this moment, Su Mian was standing not far from Li Xie, looking at the moonlight.


    The current Ziyang City was no longer the calm Ziyang City from before. He was somewhat looking forward to how chaotic it would be, and the more chaotic the better.


    He had already been at the Ziyang City for a few days, and was already tired of the calm appearance of his Ziyang City.


    Young Master Wu, this Swallow Spring Pavilion belongs to your Su Family? Li Xie gently placed the Nine Souls Sword on the table, then looked at Su Mian and asked.


    Well, yes, or I wouldn''t have let you live here. Su Mian said.


    But did he not notice that Dongfang Wenyi often came here to play? Li Xie said.


    I''m not sure he found anything. With that, Su Mian turned and looked at Li Xie.


    As expected, Su Mian did not see any signs of depression in Li Xie''s eyes.


    Li Xie, are you not worried about your head moving? Su Mian asked with interest.


    What''s the use of worrying? Li Xie laughed and said.


    En, you can stay here in peace. It''s best if you don''t go anywhere for the next few days! Su Mian said.


    After Su Mian walked a distance, Li Xie sheathed the Nine Souls Sword back into its sheath.


    Li Xie slowly walked to the window, looking at the moonlight. He never thought that he would be opposites with the Dongfang family so quickly.


    Dongfang Liang had already made it clear that if he did not take off his head, he would not stop.


    Ziyang City had already filled the entire city, and murderous intent could be seen with the naked eye everywhere.


    All sorts of forces would come when they heard the news, and Li Xie''s head was already highly sought after in everyone''s eyes.


    Right at this moment, a black figure flashed past Li Xie''s eyes, the corner of his mouth raised slightly, and the black figure floated into the room.


    When Li Xie turned around, the black figure had already revealed his true appearance.


    Actually, when Li Xie ran out of the Dongfang Mansion, he had always been following close behind, until they had entered Swallow Spring Pavilion.


    To his surprise, Swallow Spring Pavilion was actually an estate owned by their Su Family. He had originally thought that the Swallow Spring Pavilion was an estate owned by their Dongfang Mansion.


    Furthermore, the Young Master of the Dongfang Clan and a certain lady of the Swallow Spring Pavilion had a close relationship, which caused the Eastern Patriarch to have a headache.


    Li Xie cupped his fists towards Liu Shang Jun and bowed. He knew that Liu Shang Jun did not come here to kill him.


    This was because Li Xie did not see the killing intent in Liu Shang Jun''s eyes, and there was even a hint of worry.


    Although he always had a stern face, he was not a heartless person.


    Right now, Dongfang Liang had already issued a death order and had no choice but to take Li Xie''s head. He was already in a dilemma.


    If he had not requested for Li Xie''s help back then, the disaster today might not have happened.


    Therefore, Liu Shang Jun felt that he was the one who had placed Li Xie in a difficult situation, but Li Xie did not blame him.


    Brother Li, I will bring you out of the Ziyang City right now. Liu Shang Jun said firmly.


    Why is that? Aren''t you afraid that the Eastern Patriarch will blame you? Li Xie asked.


    You don''t have time to ask all sorts of questions, so leave this place quickly. It''s more important to stay alive since I know that someone is waiting for you in the small town outside of Ziyang City. Liu Shang Jun said.


    Li Xie''s heart tensed up, it was as if Liu Shang Jun knew that Miao Linger was still alive.


    If Liu Shang Jun really knew that Miao Linger was still alive, did Dongfang Liang know too?


    Brother Liu, I appreciate your good intentions. If I really leave the Ziyang City, I won''t be able to wash away your kindness even if I jump into the Yellow River. Li Xie said.


    Liu Shang Jun watched Li Xie meticulously, waiting for Li Xie to change his mind.


    But after a long while, Li Xie still had not changed his mind, and his eyes became more determined.


    From the looks of it, even if it was Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild that was charging towards him, Li Xie was also not planning to leave the Ziyang City.


    Liu Shang Jun quickly walked to Li Xie''s side and patted on Li Xie''s shoulder. In all these years, this was the first time Li Xie made him want to be friends with him.


    When the misunderstanding between Li Xie and Dongfang Mansion was resolved, Liu Shang Jun wanted to become sworn brothers with Li Xie.


    Brother Li, it''s time for me to go back. As soon as he said that, he turned into a black shadow and floated out of the Swallow Spring Pavilion.


    Li Xie turned his head to look out the window. Other than the darkness of the night, he did not see any trace of Liu Anjun.


    He did not expect Liu Shang Jun to take the initiative to ask him to leave the Ziyang City, so Liu Shang Jun definitely knew that it was impossible for him to have colluded with the Yun Family Martial Cultivator s.


    It had already been a while since he arrived at the Ziyang City, and only now did Li Xie realize that he had not obtained anything from it.


    As for Su Mian, Li Xie did not know whether or not they were friends, nor did she know what his goal in Ziyang City was.


    A few hours later, dawn arrived. Li Xie had not been able to sleep well after tossing and turning last night.


    It was unknown whether it was because the Swallow Spring Pavilion was too noisy or because his heart could not calm down, Li Xie got off the bed and stretched himself.


    Fortunately, the weather wasn''t bad. The sunlight had already crept into the house.


    Li Xie turned around to take a look, and the Nine Souls Sword and sword sheath immediately returned to his back.


    Bang!


    Just then, the door to Li Xie''s room was violently kicked open from the outside.


    In an instant, several burly Martial Cultivator s rushed in front of Li Xie, all of them staring at him with sinister expressions.


    They hadn''t slept at all last night, and had been constantly searching for Li Xie''s footprints.


    Now that they had found Li Xie, all their fatigue was swept away and replaced with endless excitement.


    In their eyes, Li Xie was just a lamb, while they were just ferocious wolves that could charge forward and bite at any time.


    They did not understand why Master Dongfang took such pains to get Li Xie''s head. In their opinion, Li Xie''s head was still rather easy to get, it was not worth much.


    The leader of this group of well-built Martial Cultivator was a one-eyed Martial Cultivator. Even though he only had one eye, one eye was enough to make ordinary people tremble in fear.


    Whether it was within a hundred mile radius of the city or outside the city, his name was infamous, and he was the Raging Blade Master, Liu Sha!


    The blade in his hand was already stained with blood. No matter where he went, it would be filled with killing intent.


    When they rushed into Swallow Spring Brothel, the guards of Swallow Spring Brothel didn''t dare to stop them. They tremblingly moved aside.


    One-eyed Martial Cultivator squinted his eyes and sized Li Xie up, then raised the blade in his hand.


    The cold light on the blade swayed, immediately making Li Xie unable to extend his gaze forward.


    One-eyed Martial Cultivator laughed coldly, as if he could already see Li Xie''s bloody and mangled appearance.


    For so many years, as long as he personally made a move, no one would be able to live to see the sun of the second day in his hands.


    Of course he would not think that Li Xie was an exception.


    You must be Li Xie? Hurry up and kowtow and shout ''Grandpa, spare me'' a few times. Otherwise, I will definitely torture you! One-eyed Martial Cultivator''s mouth twitched as he said.

 C94

    Li Xie smiled indifferently. Even though the calm in the morning was broken, he was already prepared.


    No matter who came to take his head, he would warmly entertain them.


    Who the hell are you? Li Xie asked harshly, he had already gotten used to the cold blade light on the one-eyed Martial Cultivator''s blade.


    The one-eyed Martial Cultivator raised his eyebrows, thinking that Li Xie had some ability, and it was a tough nut to crack.


    What he liked the most was fighting hard bones, because that was what was so interesting.


    I can tell you, but you have to be prepared, I''m afraid that it will scare you, I''m the Berserker Blade Master Liu Sha who killed people in Ziyang City area! One-Eyed Martial Cultivator bellowed.


    Berserker? What a fierce name! Li Xie raised his eyebrows and sighed.


    Not only is it a title, I have real ability! Liu Sha narrowed his eyes and said.


    Hm? Did you bring so many people with you in order to bully them more? Li Xie asked.


    What a joke! Do we still need to bully you with numbers? Liu Sha could not help but laugh as he spoke.


    Eldest brother, let me take off his head for you!


    Let me do it! Let me do it! I haven''t killed anyone in a long time!


    His brothers were all eager to give it a try.


    As long as he gave the order, his brothers would immediately rush up and burn Li Xie into nothingness!


    However, he still did not see the slightest hint of panic in Li Xie''s eyes, and he could not help but become enraged.


    He felt that except for the dead, everyone else would have their moments of panic.


    Liu Sha turned his face to the left and looked at Martial Cultivator who had a goatee and immediately understood.


    Bang!


    Like a torrential storm, the Martial Cultivator with a goatee quickly rushed towards Li Xie, brimming with killing intent.


    In front of his brothers and elder brothers, he had to end this battle quickly!


    A blade edge pounced towards Li Xie, causing Li Xie to slightly turn to the side, and the blade edge just happened to brush past his shoulder, causing the stool behind him to instantly disintegrate and disintegrate.


    The Martial Cultivator with a goatee rose from the ground and slashed towards Li Xie''s head.


    As long as Li Xie was even a little bit slower, he would have immediately been hacked to death!


    The Goatee Martial Cultivator sneered, the cold light of the blade in his hand became stronger and stronger.


    He could not wait to see the sight of Li Xie lying in a pool of blood.


    Clang!


    The Goatee Martial Cultivator frowned, he actually wanted to stop Li Xie''s blade.


    Li Xie took the opportunity to lightly shake the Nine Souls Sword, and instantly opened a hole in the goatee Martial Cultivator''s blade.


    The Martial Cultivator with a goatee took a deep breath and retracted his blade.


    He actually failed. For a while, he didn''t understand why he would fail.


    Li Xie raised his Nine Souls Sword and descended upon the Martial Cultivator with his goatee, countless Sword Qi whizzing out, instantly flipping the goatee Martial Cultivator onto the ground.


    Bang!


    After falling to the ground, the Martial Cultivator that had a goatee grew dark and fainted. His Martial Veins had already been cut off by the Sword Qi.


    Liu Sha saw all of this, and his nose was almost crooked due to his anger.


    Clenching his fists, Liu Sha glared fiercely at Li Xie, wishing that he could immediately dismember Li Xie''s body.


    Liu Sha raised his hand, and the Martial Cultivator beside him all retreated a few steps.


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth rose. He knew that Liu Sha was prepared to do it himself.


    This way was also good. He really wanted to fight with the Berserker Blade Master and see how crazy the Berserker Blade Master''s blade could be!


    Li Xie, your date of death has arrived! The corner of Liu Sha''s mouth twitched, he swung his blade and arrived in front of Li Xie.


    Compared to the Martial Cultivator who had a goatee, Liu Sha''s aura was even more fierce, and in his eyes, Li Xie''s limbs were flying everywhere!


    Bang!


    Liu Sha leapt up and used the blade in his hand to strike at Li Xie, the blade tip whistling through the air, like a tiger with its mouth wide open.


    Clang!


    Liu Sha''s blade collided with the Nine Souls Sword in Li Xie''s hand, and the Swallow Spring Pavilion followed along with it.


    The Elemental Energy in his body had already started to boil, and Liu Sha became more and more excited along with it.


    Just now, he had underestimated Li Xie, but now, he was already taking his seriously.


    Liu Sha''s blade continued to sink, the blade edge getting closer and closer to Li Xie.


    He had already pricked up his ears and was waiting for Li Xie''s heart-wrenching scream to resound in his ears.


    Swoosh!


    Suddenly, a Sword Qi rushed towards Liu Sha''s chest, causing him to withdraw his attack.


    After waiting for Liu Sha to stabilize his footsteps, he once again fiercely rushed towards Li Xie.


    Even if he had to tear down the entire Swallow Spring Pavilion today, he would still want to wring Li Xie''s head off.


    Clang! Clang!


    Liu Sha waved the blade in his hand, and the blades all pounced towards Li Xie, their speed fast and ferocious.


    The room that Li Xie was in was in a mess, not a single part of it was undamaged.


    Liu Sha''s attack still continued, he would not give Li Xie a chance to catch his breath.


    Ah!


    Liu Sha bellowed, and then slashed at Li Xie''s chest, as though he was a fierce tiger emerging from the mountains.


    Li Xie''s feet gently touched the ground as he rose into the air, the blade tip following the ground as it flew forward, smashing against the wall.


    Liu Sha did not wait for Li Xie''s heels to land on the ground, he raised his blade and once again swung it towards Li Xie''s head.


    Liu Sha''s eyes were already red, and the veins on his arms were popping out! The Elemental Energy was burning!


    Die!


    Boom!


    As the blade and Sword Qi clashed, the room was suddenly filled with light.


    Liu Sha didn''t choose to retreat, but continued to swing his saber forward.


    He did not know where Li Xie was heading towards, he only brandished his blade with the help of the Elemental Energy.


    However, he did not hear the sound of his body being torn apart as he wished it to be done.


    After the light in the guest room dissipated, Liu Sha could finally look around.


    Hiss!


    Liu Sha frowned, this was because the Nine Souls Sword''s blade was already very close to him.


    He was scared out of his wits, and the menacing look on his face was gone.


    Liu Sha gritted his teeth and jumped up, taking the opportunity to sink his blade.


    Since it had already come to this, Liu Sha could only activate all of the Elemental Energy.


    Bang


    Clang!


    Liu Sha turned pale with fright. The blade in his hand had already shattered, and then his entire body fell backwards. He could not control it.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    Liu Sha turned around to see that Li Xie was already waiting behind him and his back was already injured by the Nine Souls Sword s.


    A feeling of helplessness surged into Liu Sha''s heart. This was even more painful than a sword wound.


    If Big Brother is in trouble, everyone attack together!


    All of a sudden, dozens of Martial Cultivator s rushed towards Li Xie with sinister looks on their faces.


    Li Xie held the Nine Souls Sword tightly in his hands and swung it forward, releasing a tyrannical Sword Qi out in all directions.


    Bang! Bang!


    Ah ¡­


    In the blink of an eye, the dozens of Martial Cultivator s who had pounced towards Li Xie earlier fell to the ground, their weapons scattered and scattered as they rolled to the side.


    Other than that, the door to the guest room had already been smashed into pieces by the Sword Qi.


    Li Xie turned and looked at Liu Sha, whose eyes had already turned blurry.


    Li Xie held the Nine Souls Sword and walked step by step towards Liu Sha. From then on, his East Qin Kingdom no longer had the name of the Raging Blade Master.


    Hiss!


    Liu Sha raised the blade in the air and directly stabbed it into his own chest, and then it fell to the ground with a loud bang.


    When Li Xie walked to Liu Sha''s side, he was already breathless.


    Li Xie heaved a sigh of relief. He rather liked Liu Sha''s personality.


    Not long after, the news of Li Xie being at Swallow Spring Pavilion had spread throughout the streets and alleys of Ziyang City.


    Even so, Li Xie did not choose to quietly leave the Swallow Spring Pavilion, and instead stayed in the Swallow Spring Pavilion.

 C95

    By the afternoon, all the girls and guards had left, leaving only Bing Ying in the restaurant.


    Bing Ying did not stay in the Swallow Spring Pavilion for Li Xie''s sake, but to wait for the east side to gradually rise.


    Although when she and Dong Fang met again, the warmth between them could only stay in her memories, but they couldn''t not see each other.


    As Li Xie walked along the empty corridor of the Swallow Spring Pavilion, the smell of rouge and water powder still lingered in the air.


    The noise from last night was still echoing in Li Xie''s ears, and the entire Swallow Spring Pavilion had changed.


    As the largest place in Ziyang City, the Swallow Spring Pavilion was about to be submerged in dust.


    When Li Xie walked through the corridor and reached the rear courtyard of Swallow Spring Pavilion, he saw Bing Ying. She had already been waiting for Li Xie for a long time.


    She had just received news from Su Mian, she had another mission to complete.


    These past few days, Li Xie''s reputation was extremely resounding in the Ziyang City City, and there was no one who hadn''t heard of him.


    Everything that had happened recently in Ziyang City City seemed to be related to Li Xie, as he had already been swept into the whirlpool.


    Li Xie quickly walked in front of Bing Ying. What was different from what he imagined was that Bing Ying''s eyes were like clear water to the bottom of the lake.


    If Li Xie did not know Bing Ying''s identity, perhaps he would not think that Bing Ying was a girl from Swallow Spring Pavilion.


    Young Master Wu wants me to tell you that there''s still a bit of a possibility of leaving the Ziyang City right now. Bing Ying said gently.


    Right now, aiding me to leave the Ziyang City is equivalent to officially offending Dongfang Liang. Li Xie asked, full of suspicions.


    I don''t think so, but I don''t know what Young Master Wu is thinking. Bing Ying said.


    Please help me thank the Young Masters for your kind intentions, I will continue to stay in Ziyang City City! Li Xie said resolutely towards the ice.


    Bing Ying stared into Li Xie''s eyes until she was sure that Li Xie wasn''t joking with her. She secretly heaved a sigh of relief.


    She already somewhat understood why Su Mian would want to help Li Xie so much, because Li Xie was very different from the masses.


    Since Li Xie had already rejected her, she would not continue to urge him otherwise.


    Bing Ying turned around and walked away without even looking back.


    When Bing Ying returned to her room, the East had been waiting for her for a long time.


    Bing Ying disregarded everything and ran to Dong Fang Jian''s side, and once again waded into Dong Fang Yan''s embrace.


    She could feel that the East was growing less warm than it used to be, because they had reached the point where they had to make a choice at the same time.


    One step forward was a precipice, and one step back was not necessarily a vast sky.


    Dongfang slowly pushed Bing Ying away. He had a lot of things he wanted to ask Bing Ying.


    Young Master Dongfang, you must think that it was Master Su Mian who wanted me to get close to you on purpose, right? Bing Ying smiled, then said, That''s right.


    Dong Fang gradually sighed. To think that Bing Ying had told him so frankly, he didn''t know if he should be happy or not.


    Of course, Dongfang was gradually able to hear the bitterness in Bing Ying''s heart, and she had no other choice.


    Bing Ying, did Su Mian allow you to get close to me on purpose to take my life? Dong Fang asked.


    Of course not, Sir Su Mian has never been such a cold-blooded and heartless person, nor am I. Bing Ying replied.


    What should we do next? As if nothing had happened and everything was the same as before? Dongfang Wenyi asked. His eyes were filled with hesitation.


    No, you should have killed me! Bing Ying said in a firm tone.


    Dongfang Jiayi looked at Bing Ying with an incredulous expression. He suspected that he had misheard.


    [Has it really come to this?] Dongfang Wenyi didn''t believe it.


    At this moment, Bing Ying took out the dagger she had prepared for a long time.


    The cold glint of the dagger was extremely dazzling. It had been waiting for this moment to come.


    In the end, Dong Fang still believed Bing Ying''s words. She definitely wasn''t just casually saying it.


    Icy Ying put the dagger on her palm and held it straight before her eyes.


    Bing Ying, what are you doing this for? Dongfang Xi frowned and asked.


    Even though the East was facing a choice almost every day, the decision he had made today left him at a loss.


    Don''t you hate me? I''ve been lying to you for so long about my true identity. Bing Ying said.


    It''s not enough for me to kill you. From the east, he said.


    But I want to die, and I don''t want to walk into a battle with you in the future. Bing Ying said.


    Would Su Mian force you to do something that would harm me? Dong Fang asked.


    Bing Ying lowered her head, as if she had sunk into an endless melancholy.


    Dong Fang gradually rose to wait for Bing Ying''s reply. Even though Bing Ying had deliberately concealed her true identity, Dong Fang gradually realized that Bing Ying had never done anything to hurt him.


    Despite his status, only a few truly treated him with sincerity.


    Suddenly, Bing Ying raised her hand, gripped the dagger tightly and stabbed towards Dong Fang''s chest.


    Bang!


    Dong Fang gradually raised his hand and grabbed onto Bing Ying''s wrist. At this moment, he could not see much emotion in Bing Ying''s eyes.


    At this moment, a smile appeared on Bing Ying''s face. She reached out her hand to grab Dong Fang''s wrist, and pushed it backwards.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    The dagger that was overflowing with cold light pierced through her chest, and a bright red light flowed out uncontrollably, dyeing her clothes red.


    Dongfang Jiayi immediately stretched out his hands to support the crumbling ice. At this moment, her face was somewhat pale.


    Bing Ying raised her right hand to touch Dong Fang''s rising cheek. She could tell that Dong Fang was in even more pain than she was at this moment.


    It was a pity that she had to leave, forever.


    This was because only then would the East gradually rise up and become the real him. All these years, he had been suppressing his talent.


    Her cold body started to turn cold, and her eyes also started to dim.


    Is this what Su Mian taught you? Dongfang Wenyi frowned and asked.


    No, it''s my own choice. The moment she said that, Bing Ying closed her eyes tightly.


    Ice... Dong Fang gradually called out, but Bing Ying could no longer reply to him.


    At this moment, Mu Na was like a piece of wood, and his entire body looked as if it had been struck by lightning. There was not a single trace of emotion on his face.


    He had never experienced such a feeling before. The person he cared most about had died at his hands.


    Slowly, Dongfang Wenyi carried Bing Ying and walked in. Finally, she placed Bing Ying on her bed.


    Dongfang Wenyi clenched his fists, and his eyes were filled with hatred.


    He was no longer the Eastern Ascension Sect from the past, and even Dongfang Liang felt that he was unfamiliar with him.


    Bang Bang Bang...


    Following the sound of hurried footsteps, a group of aggressive Martial Cultivator rushed into the courtyard behind the Swallow Spring Pavilion.


    They had come to take Li Xie''s head, leaving behind a group of people to guard the entrances of the Swallow Spring Pavilion, not letting a single fly go.


    Li Xie looked around, this group of Martial Cultivator s were dressed in the same clothes, so they should be disciples of some sect.


    He had been waiting in the Swallow Spring Pavilion for a long time. No matter how many people came, he would still accompany them to the end.


    He predicted that Shi Jianchuan would be right around the edge of the Ziyang City and that the matters of Ziyang City City would definitely spread to his ears, so Shi Jianchuan might not be able to resist coming over to join in on the fun.


    Once Shi Jianchuan appeared, Li Xie could use Shi Jianchuan to prove his innocence.

 C96

    The leader of the Martial Cultivator who surrounded Li Xie was a middle aged man holding onto a green wooden sword. He squinted his eyes and sized Li Xie up.


    As the name implied, the Verdant Wood Sword was a sword forged from green wood, not darksteel.


    In the hands of this middle-aged man, the Cyan Wood Sword was not the slightest bit inferior to the sword forged from black iron, and might even be a bit sharper.


    The middle-aged man wielding the green wood sword had learned from the Raging Blade Master Liu Sha''s lesson and never once had he been careless with Li Xie.


    On this very day, he was certain that Li Xie''s head had to be his, and he did not allow anyone else to fight over it with him.


    Whose sect or sect are you from? Li Xie asked casually.


    We are from the Qing Mu Sect in the south of Ziyang City City, and I am Sect Leader of the Qing Mu Sect! The middle-aged man holding the green wooden sword shouted.


    Greenwood Sect? Li Xie had faintly heard that the Qing Mu Sect was founded with Dongfang Liang''s support.


    Even the Greenwood Sect''s Sect Leader himself had come out. It could be seen how much importance they had placed on Dongfang Liang''s orders.


    They were aggressive and well-prepared, unlike the Raging Blade Master, Liu Sha''s group.


    So it''s Sect Leader Zhu, it''s a pleasure to meet you! Li Xie cupped his fist and bowed to Zhu Hangzhong and said.


    There''s no need to play along with me. Today, I must take your life! Zhu Hangzhong said coldly.


    Sect Master Zhu, do you think I will surrender without a fight? Li Xie asked.


    Humph! So what if you don''t surrender? I''m not Liu Sha! The corner of Zhu Hangzhong''s mouth twitched as he said.


    Well, do it! Li Xie unsheathed the Nine Souls Sword from its sheath and held it tightly in his hand.


    Humph! The sword in your hand is indeed good, but you are not worthy of it! Zhu Hangzhong said.


    Li Xie was unmoved. He wanted to use his words to enrage Yun Che and cause him to lose his cool.


    Zhu Hangzhong''s pair of eyes widened, Li Xie''s rationality exceeded his expectations.


    Since that was the case, Zhu Hangzhong decided to take action himself, and not give Li Xie the chance to remain calm.


    The disciples of the Green Wood Sect retreated a few steps, giving them enough space.


    The green wood sword danced in Zhu Hangzhong''s hands like a gust of wind as the Sword Qi attacked Li Xie, becoming more and more ferocious.


    Zhu Hangzhong was also an expert at wielding swords, and the Cyan Wood Sword was like his third hand in Zhu Hangzhong''s hands.


    Li Xie brandished the Nine Souls Sword, completely destroying the Sword Qi that was charging towards him.


    The corner of Zhu Hangzhong''s mouth twitched, he threw the Cyan Wood Sword, which pierced through the night sky and pierced towards Li Xie''s back.


    When Li Xie turned around, the Green Wood Sword had appeared on top of his head once again.


    The speed of the Cyan Wood Sword was extremely fast, and when Li Xie slowed down his footsteps, he would launch his fatal strike!


    Li Xie raised his Nine Souls Sword and walked towards Zhu Hangzhong. His Greenwood Sword immediately descended in front of Zhu Hangzhong, blocking his way.


    Zhu Hangzhong laughed coldly, he felt that in front of absolute strength, any smart move was foolish!


    Li Xie waved the Nine Souls Sword forward, causing the green wood sword''s Sword Qi to return empty-handed.


    Zhu Hangzhong placed both of his hands behind his back, waiting for the moment the Green Wood Sword exhausted Li Xie.


    At that time, he would personally step out and take Li Xie''s life.


    The Green Wood Sword was a last grade heaven-step weapon from the Spirit Race. It was full of spirituality.


    Li Xie waved his Nine Souls Sword and observed Zhu Hangzhong at the same time.


    Zhu Hangzhong''s face was filled with a carefree expression, as though he was an outsider watching a show from the side.


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth rose. He would not allow Zhu Hangzhong to stand by the side and watch so easily.


    With both of his hands, the Nine Souls Sword s fell towards the green wood sword, causing it to stagger backwards after being hit by the overbearing Sword Qi.


    Zhu Hangzhong immediately furrowed his brows. With Li Xie''s insignificant cultivation in the Martial Cultivator, it was beyond his expectations that the Nine Souls Sword could still possess such power.


    Zhu Hangzhong opened his right hand, and the Green Wood Sword appeared in his hand.


    Li Xie jumped up and took the opportunity to drop the Nine Souls Sword as the Sword Qi roared.


    Now, he had to turn defense into offense, and let Zhu Hangzhong experience the true strength of him and the Nine Souls Sword!


    Bang!


    The Green Wood Sword and the Nine Souls Sword collided, and the Swallow Spring Pavilion shook along with them.


    Zhu Hangzhong squinted his eyes once again. The power of Li Xie''s sword strikes was a little light for him, it was not satisfying at all.


    Suddenly, Zhu Hangzhong raised the Cyan Wood Sword upwards and fiercely thrusted the Sword Qi towards Li Xie''s chest.


    Li Xie placed the Nine Souls Sword down, just in time to turn the Sword Qi that was rushing towards him into ashes!


    The corner of Zhu Hangzhong''s mouth twitched. Li Xie''s skill had gradually expanded his horizons!


    Li Xie, you better hurry up and surrender or you will regret in the future! Zhu Hangzhong said.


    What do you mean! Li Xie asked with interest.


    Do you remember the Miss Ling''er who was waiting for you in the small town outside of Ziyang City? Zhu Hangzhong said softly.


    If not to conserve as much strength as possible, Zhu Hangzhong would not have used such a despicable and shameless move.


    If Li Xie was a cold-blooded and heartless person, he would have completely fallen into a passive state.


    Sect Leader Zhu, you mean Miss Ling''er has been captured by you? Li Xie frowned.


    That''s right, you''re the only one who can save her now, it''s up to you to decide if you''re willing or not. Zhu Hangzhong said.


    Li Xie pulled back his Nine Souls Sword and retreated a few steps. By the time he had stabilized his pace, the Nine Souls Sword had already been sheathed.


    Zhu Hangzhong waved his hand, and his disciples immediately swarmed forward and placed their blades on Li Xie''s body.


    Bring him to the Dongfang Mansion! The corner of Zhu Hangzhong''s mouth rose as he roared loudly.


    An hour later, in the dungeon of Dongfang Mansion, Li Xie felt his head grow dizzy.


    The profound energy in the dungeon was very humid, and even the Viper, Bug, and Rat Ants could not live on.


    At this very moment, Li Xie was still worrying about Miao Linger''s safety.


    Dongfang Liang definitely already knew that Miao Linger was still alive, and didn''t know how he would deal with him.


    Li Xie looked around, it seemed like he was the only one in the dungeon.


    The prison of Dongfang Mansion already has some years of age, who knows how many people have lived the rest of their life here.


    Squeak...


    The door of the dungeon was opened, and rays of light entered the dungeon through it.


    Still, the most brilliant thing in the dungeon was the flickering candlelight.


    Li Xie looked towards the source of the voice, only to see a familiar face walking towards him.


    It was really too drowsy. Only when that familiar face walked in front of Li Xie did he be able to see that it was Su Mian.


    Li Xie immediately opened his eyes wide. Why would Su Mian appear in the prison of Dongfang Mansion?


    Dongfang Liang''s next target was Su Mian, someone whose Su Family s had been arranged to monitor his every move.


    Given Dongfang Liang''s personality, he would definitely not allow Su Mian to leave the Ziyang City alive.


    Su Mian circled around Li Xie. At this time, Li Xie''s spirit was still there, but it was not dispirited.


    When Su Mian stopped, he took out a small bottle from her sleeves and placed it in front of Li Xie to give him a sniff.


    So it turned out that the little bottle was filled with gas, and Li Xie needed it right now.


    When Li Xie regained his senses, he put the bottle back into his sleeve.


    Young Master Fa, how did you manage to walk into the Dongfang Mansion dungeon safely? Li Xie asked, full of suspicions.


    Our Su Family has a certain amount of power within the city, so it isn''t difficult for us to safely enter the dungeon of the Dongfang Mansion. Su Mian said calmly.


    Could it be that Wang Dong and Wang Xi are the eyes and ears of your Su Family? Li Xie asked.

 C97

    Su Mian looked at Li Xie. Li Xie had thought in the right direction, but his Ziyang City was much bigger than he had imagined.


    In Ziyang City City, other than the Dongfang family, there were also several other large and small forces.


    Of course not, with their abilities, our Su Family still won''t stand a chance. Su Mian said.


    Listening to Su Mian''s tone, could it be that there was someone with a higher identity within the Dongfang Mansion that was their eyes and ears?


    As for who it was, Su Mian would definitely not tell him.


    Li Xie, I told Bing Ying to bring you a message, why aren''t you listening? Su Mian''s face was gloomy as she asked.


    The fact that the soul of the Eastern Patriarch was trapped in the Cloud Clan''s Martial Cultivator''s Sky Suppressing Pagoda had nothing to do with me, so there was no need for me to hide. Li Xie said firmly.


    Su Mian shook her head helplessly. This was Li Xie''s personality, he should have known earlier.


    If it wasn''t for Li Xie''s personality, perhaps Su Mian wouldn''t have wanted to help him.


    Is Ice Blossom still in Swallow Spring Restaurant? Li Xie asked.


    She had died in the rising hands of the East. Su Mian replied with a very tired tone.


    Li Xie frowned. He did not expect that the first time he met Bing Ying not long ago was also the last time they would meet.


    Furthermore, Bing Ying had died in the hands of Dong Fang Jian. How could he do that?


    After that, I''m afraid, the old East has gradually ceased to exist.


    Could this be Su Mian''s plan? If it was really like this, then Su Mian was truly too terrifying.


    Li Xie quickly dispelled this thought. He believed that Su Mian was definitely not this kind of cold-blooded and heartless person.


    Young Noble Fen, quickly leave the Ziyang City, the Eastern Patriarch will definitely not let you off! Li Xie looked at Su Mian and advised.


    He won''t let me go? Hmph, I won''t let him off! Su Mian shouted in anger.


    Young Noble Yu, you aren''t just Su Cheng''s friend, right? Li Xie asked.


    Don''t ask, knowing too much won''t do you any good. Su Mian replied.


    Since Su Mian had already said so, Li Xie could not keep pursuing the matter, but this was enough to prove that Su Mian''s position in the Su Family was definitely not low either.


    While Li Xie was still in the Zhong Yuan City, he did not hear anything related to Su Mian.


    It must be because the Su Family had concealed the matter regarding Su Mian very deeply that ordinary people did not know about it.


    Li Xie, I will ask you one last time, are you going or not? Su Mian stared at Li Xie and asked.


    Not leaving! Li Xie replied, he still did not have any hesitation.


    Well, it looks like you''re determined to kill yourself. Su Mian said.


    Young Master Wu, how can you be sure that I won''t survive until the very last moment? Li Xie asked.


    Heh, I will open my eyes and see if you can actually leave the Ziyang City alive! Su Mian said with an expectant tone.


    At that moment, the sound of hurried footsteps sounded out from the entrance of the dungeon.


    Presumably, the Dongfang Mansion had discovered that someone had snuck into the dungeon secretly, causing the tranquility of the dungeon to be immediately broken.


    Li Xie glanced at Su Mian, but he did not see a single trace of nervousness on his face.


    It was as if the people with Su Family were not ordinary, or perhaps Su Mian had long anticipated that she would be discovered in this moment.


    Not long after, a group of Dongfang Mansion guards rushed into the dungeon and surrounded Su Mian.


    Su Mian calmly glanced at the Dongfang Mansion guards who were surrounding him. In their eyes, Su Mian saw killing intent.


    They held shining blades in their hands, waiting for Dongfang Liang''s order.


    Dongfang Mansion was, after all, Dongfang Mansion. It was already an incredible feat for him to be able to talk so much with Li Xie in the dungeon.


    Eastern Patriarch, why haven''t you appeared yet? Su Mian said loudly.


    Young Master Yu, you''re really impatient!


    Dongfang Liang''s voice came from the entrance of the dungeon, deep and powerful like the roar of a fierce tiger.


    Su Mian faintly smiled. She was finally about to face Dongfang Liang head on.


    At this time, like a gust of wind blowing into the dungeon, Dongfang Liang''s figure flashed and he stood in front of Su Mian.


    This was the first time Dongfang Liang had seen him, and it was just as his eyes and ears said, Su Mian''s skin was thin and tender, and his physique was thin as well.


    At this time, Dongfang Liang still could not understand why Su Mian would dare to sneak into the Dongfang Mansion alone.


    Su Mian cupped her fists towards Dongfang Liang and bowed, secretly sighing to herself that the renowned Eastern Patriarch was truly imposing.


    Even though the Eastern Patriarch had just walked out from a coma, his spirit had completely recovered.


    Young Master Wu, why didn''t you greet me when you came to Dongfang Mansion? You really don''t know the rules. Dongfang Liang said.


    Eastern Patriarch, I know you''re always very busy, so I didn''t dare to disturb you. Su Mian said.


    Dongfang Liang stroked his long beard, and continued to speak: Young Noble Wu, please come with me to the study room!


    Eastern Patriarch, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to kill me in the study? Su Mian raised her eyebrows and asked.


    I won''t kill you, I will even use you to exchange for Su Ding''s life. You are currently our first class Dongfang Mansion''s noble guest. Dongfang Liang squinted his eyes and said.


    She never thought that the renowned Eastern Patriarch would be so despicable and shameless! Su Mian shouted.


    Dongfang Liang did not pay attention to Su Mian. He turned around and walked quickly, and the Dongfang Mansion guards in front of him all stepped aside.


    When Dongfang Liang finally disappeared from his line of sight, Su Mian finally withdrew his gaze.


    Young Master Yu, please!


    In the blink of an eye, the sky above the Ziyang City had already darkened, and the dungeon became even darker.


    Li Xie''s heart was extremely heavy. He did not know where he was trapped within the Ziyang City, but now, he was trapped again.


    While he was in the dungeon, Li Xie had no way to find out anything.


    Dongfang Liang did not attack him in a hurry, which surprised him a little.


    Li Xie slowly walked to the iron gate and looked outside. If he stayed in the dungeon for a long time, it would easily cause him to feel despair.


    The dungeon''s iron gates were all made of special darksteel and it was difficult for ordinary blades to break out of the gates.


    Although it was the middle of summer, the dungeon of Dongfang Mansion was still cold.


    Suddenly, Li Xie heard familiar footsteps pacing to and fro outside the dungeon door.


    Li Xie couldn''t help but raise his eyebrows. He actually hoped that the people who were wandering around outside the dungeon entrance would quickly come in.


    No matter what his goal in coming to the dungeon was, Li Xie wanted to talk to him for a bit.


    Regarding Miao Linger, or perhaps, Li Xie really wanted to know how they were doing right now.


    "Whiz!"


    A figure directly rushed in from outside the dungeon''s door, and instantly stood in front of Li Xie.


    The person who came was none other than the Liu Shang Jun that Li Xie had known for a long time.


    Liu Shang Jun cupped his fist and bowed to Li Xie, his movements extremely fierce and quick.


    Li Xie stared at Liu Shang Jun, he felt that his appearance was not a good thing, it had already been proven twice before.


    Liu Shang Jun''s eyes were as cold as ever, no one could tell what he was thinking.


    In the entire Ziyang City, Liu Anjun was the most special person.


    With a wave of his hand, the key to the metal door opened and then fell to the ground.


    Li Xie walked out of the metal door and stood in front of Liu Shang Jun, he extended his hand out and patted Liu Shang Jun''s shoulder.


    Young Master Li, do you know my purpose for coming here? Liu Shang Jun looked at Li Xie and asked.


    Of course I know, it must be the Eastern Patriarch who told you to kill me! Li Xie said.

 C98

    After hearing what Li Xie had said, the corners of Liu Anjun''s mouth slightly moved.


    Ever since he and Li Xie had known each other, it seemed like he had always thought that there would be a day like this.


    Yes, that''s right, Patriarch gave me a death order, he definitely wants me to offer your head to him before dawn. Liu Shang Jun said.


    Don''t tell me that the Eastern Patriarch doesn''t want to torture me to death? Li Xie raised his eyebrows and asked.


    Maybe the Patriarch had such thoughts, but he had already changed his mind. Liu Shang Jun replied.


    Li Xie nodded, maybe he was trying to avoid unnecessary trouble.


    Li Xie had once seen the hypocritical side of things, and now he had witnessed his ruthless side.


    Before fighting with Liu Shang Jun, Li Xie also wanted to ask him whether Miao Linger and Su Mian were still safe.


    Brother Liu, how are Ling''er and Young Master Wu? Li Xie frowned and asked.


    I don''t know where Miss Ling''er is now. What I can tell you is that Young Master Wu is currently living in a mansion as if he were a distinguished guest. Liu Shang Jun said.


    Oh, looks like Eastern Patriarch and Young Master Wu''s conversation was quite good. Li Xie said.


    Young Master Yi is not a good person, and because of him, I am now recognized by the Patriarch as one of the eyes and ears arranged by his side by his Su Family. Liu Shang Jun said dejectedly.


    Brother Liu, didn''t you grow up with Dongfang Mansion? Why would the Eastern Patriarch still suspect you? Li Xie said, he felt that it was not worth it for Master Liu.


    Maybe this is life. I can''t argue with that. Liu said.


    Hmph, I think the Eastern Patriarch is too old and muddled! Li Xie shouted in anger.


    Actually, he was already standing on the edge of the cliff.


    Even after he had killed Li Xie, he wouldn''t be able to obtain Dongfang Liang''s trust in the future.


    But since Dongfang Liang had already given him an order, he had to execute it without hesitation.


    Liu Shang Jun clenched his fists, looked at Li Xie, and rushed towards him with killing intent.


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth raised, he walked a few steps back to open up a distance between him and Master Liu.


    Since the fight between him and Master Liu was already unavoidable, then he might as well have a good fight. There was no need for him to fear.


    Looking at the total Dongfang Mansion, other than the gradually rising east, the realm of the Martial Cultivator was the highest in the entire continent.


    Thinking about it here, Li Xie''s emotions gradually rose.


    I''m sorry, Young Master Li! With that said, Liu Shang Jun called out his silver sword and pounced towards Li Xie.


    The silver sword in Liu Shang Jun''s hand was a middle grade heaven rank weapon with quite a bit of power.


    After all these years of interaction, the Silver Light Sword and the Silver Light Sword were already connected. The Silver Light Sword seemed to have grown out of the hands of the Silver Light Sword and became even more powerful.


    Liu Shang Jun brandished his silver sword, which pierced towards Li Xie''s vitals, revealing a powerful yet powerful aura.


    Since he had already chosen to take action, he would definitely go all out. This was his personality.


    At this time, in Liu Shang Jun''s eyes, Li Xie was no longer Li Xie, but a person who deserved death.


    Li Xie frowned, Liu Anjun''s Martial Cultivator realm was already at the lower level of the Burning Realm, the Elemental Energy in his body was far above his own.


    Even so, Li Xie remained calm and composed every time he swung his sword.


    Clang! Clang! Clang!


    The speed at which Liu Shang Jun brandished his sword became faster and faster, to the point that Li Xie was dazzled.


    The Elemental Energy continued to burn inside Liu Shang Jun''s body, making him feel as if he had an inexhaustible strength.


    Under the attacks of the silver light sword in his hand, even though Li Xie managed to avoid it, the steel door beside him had already collapsed.


    Liu Shang Jun jumped up, and took the chance to swing the Sword Qi towards Li Xie, like a fierce tiger coming out of its cage.


    The sound of swords flashing was reverberating in the dungeon, each one more terrifying than the last.


    Li Xie swung the Nine Souls Sword forward, his right arm was already slightly numb, but it did not affect his ability to swing the sword in the slightest.


    It was as if Liu Shang Jun had seen all of this, and his attacks became fiercer and fiercer.


    He wanted to end the battle quickly, even though there was still some distance to go before daybreak.


    Clang! Clang!


    Following the clash of the Nine Souls Sword and the silver sword of light, the dungeon of Dongfang Mansion began to sway.


    Hiss! Hiss!


    The silver sword of light''s Sword Qi was extremely fierce, all of them baring their fangs and brandishing their claws at Li Xie.


    This time, it was the first time Li Xie had fought with another Martial Cultivator who had brandished his sword to such an amazing degree.


    The Elemental Energy in Li Xie''s body consumed a lot of energy, causing him to feel a little depressed.


    Liu Shang Jun poured the Elemental Energy s into the silver light sword in his hand, and the silver light sword''s Sword Qi surged out, directly turning Li Xie onto the ground.


    Li Xie supported himself up with his left hand, and his body was covered with wounds made by the silver light sword.


    Young Master Li, with your current abilities, you won''t be able to walk through Dongfang Mansion. Liu said.


    Oh, but I mustn''t think so. Li Xie replied calmly.


    I have given you a chance to live, but you have not taken it. Liu Shang Jun said.


    Forget about all these, the Eastern Patriarch is still waiting for you to present my head to him! Li Xie said.


    He saw Li Xie''s burning fighting spirit.


    He did not think that Li Xie had already lost. He felt that Li Xie had not gone all out.


    Since that was the case, he might as well continue to have a earth-shattering battle!


    Boom!


    Liu Shang Jun rose into the air, his sword striking towards Li Xie''s skull, with great force!


    Li Xie raised the Nine Souls Sword upwards. The instant the Nine Souls Sword and the silver light sword clashed again, the dark dungeon instantly lit up with light.


    Liu Shang Jun pressed his silver sword down, causing the ground beneath Li Xie''s feet to instantly crack.


    The fire in Liu Shang Jun''s eyes was strong enough to burn Li Xie to ashes!


    Just at this moment, Liu Shang Jun''s right hand shook, and a Sword Qi went around the Nine Souls Sword and pierced towards Li Xie''s heart.


    Although Li Xie dodged to the side, the silver sword of light''s Sword Qi still cut into his chest.


    Li Xie lowered his head to look, his clothes had already been dyed red with blood.


    All of these were seen by Liu Shang Jun, he felt that there were not many Elemental Energy left in Li Xie''s body, and his body would soon crumble along with them.


    Clang!


    Liu Shang Jun withdrew his silver sword, and suddenly swung it at Li Xie''s chest.


    He was very clear on the principle of being able to exhaust himself in one go.


    Bang!


    Li Xie raised his Nine Souls Sword and waved forward, the tyrannical Sword Qi followed suit.


    Liu Shang Jun''s silver sword of light was so dense that even the wind could not penetrate through, completely destroying the Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi.


    Swift as lightning, Liu Anjun appeared behind Li Xie in a flash and thrusted his sword towards Li Xie''s back.


    Li Xie bent over, and the silver sword in Liu Anjun''s hand just happened to pass by his back.


    With a cold smile, he lowered the silver sword with all his might.


    Li Xie anxiously turned his body, taking the opportunity to shake the Nine Souls Sword, the Sword Qi whizzed out again.


    Liu Shang Jun raised his eyebrows, the Sword Qi that was pouncing towards him made him unable to continue pushing his silver sword down, and he kept his sword and took a few steps back.


    When he stabilized his footsteps, Li Xie ran in front of him with his Nine Souls Sword in hand.


    Li Xie swiped his Nine Souls Sword onto Liu Shang Jun''s neck, the blade of the Nine Souls Sword biting the air emitted sparks one after another.


    The spark was so bright that Liu had to look away.


    Right at this moment, Liu Shang Jun heard his own rapid heartbeat.


    However, Liu Shang Jun still listened attentively to Li Xie''s every move, he was not the least bit disturbed.


    Clang!


    Once again, the Nine Souls Sword and the silver sword clashed, and the two Sword Qi clashed.

 C99

    The silver light sword was powerful and fierce, while the Nine Souls Sword did not yield and continued to compete with each other.


    They were on equal footing, let''s see who can persevere to the end!


    Right now, it was no longer a battle between Li Xie and Master Liu, but a battle between the Nine Souls Sword and the Silver Light Sword.


    The Silver Light Sword knew that the Nine Souls Sword''s rank was above it, but it would not admit defeat!


    Liu Shang Jun turned his head and thrusted the silver sword towards Li Xie''s vital parts. Right now, he did not allow himself to be slower than Li Xie, because being slower by a single step could cause his body to be decapitated.


    He was one of the most outstanding Martial Cultivator in the Dongfang Mansion. In these few years, it was unknown just how many Martial Cultivator had come to worship in his hands!


    Li Xie had become more and more valiant as the battle progressed, and Liu Ang had to allow himself to welcome him quickly.


    Under the impact of the Sword Qi of the Nine Souls Sword and the Silver Light Sword, the humidity in the dungeon had already been completely burnt.


    When...


    Liu Anjun brandished his silver sword and advanced forward step by step.


    His brows were already knit together. With every step he took, a footprint would appear on the ground.


    The strength of Liu Shang Jun''s sword attacks became more and more ruthless, the sword''s edge was already emitting flames.


    At that moment, Liu Shang Jun was like a furious Strange Beast.


    At the same time, the consumption of Elemental Energy s in Liu Shang Jun''s body was increasing.


    Boom!


    Liu Shang Jun thrust his silver sword forward, the blade of the silver sword getting closer and closer to Li Xie''s chest!


    Clang!


    In a split-second, Li Xie put the Nine Souls Sword down, causing the silver sword''s attack to suddenly stop.


    The veins on his arms were bulging!


    Waves after waves of Elemental Energy s rushed into the silver sword, but the sword''s edge did not diminish at all.


    Ah!


    He did not understand why his own Martial Cultivator realm was far above Li Xie''s, but he was still unable to cause Li Xie to be covered in injuries.


    He already thought highly of Li Xie, but it seemed like it was still far from enough!


    Liu Shang Jun once again held the Silver Light Sword tightly in his hands, taking the chance to pour all the Elemental Energy in his body into the Silver Light Sword, the Silver Light Sword''s Sword Qi roared.


    Liu Shang Jun''s feet pushed off the ground and he raised his silver sword in the air.


    "Whiz!"


    Master Liu lowered his silver sword, his eyes turning red.


    Li Xie took a step back. When the silver sword of light landed, the place he was originally standing at immediately cracked with several holes.


    Liu Shang Jun raised his head and rushed towards Li Xie, the silver sword Sword Qi roared.


    Since things had already gotten to this stage, Liu Anjun''s competitive spirit made him really want to wring Li Xie''s head off!


    Boom ¡­ Boom ¡­


    The silver sword of light that blotted the skies surrounded Li Xie, if he was even the slightest bit slower, the Sword Qi would have immediately pierced his heart and killed him.


    The upper echelons of the Liu Family had already gone all out, so they couldn''t hold back at all.


    Li Xie brandished his Nine Souls Sword and fought shoulder to shoulder with it, making him not feel tired at all.


    Although the silver sword of light''s Sword Qi was approaching them menacingly, the Nine Souls Sword did not let them get a step closer to Li Xie.


    Slowly, the power of the Silver Light Sword was depleted, the Nine Souls Sword s used this opportunity to rush towards Master Liu.


    Liu Shang Jun frowned and retreated backwards, all he could see were the figures of the Nine Souls Sword and Sword Qi.


    Suddenly, he stopped and raised his silver sword as he rushed forward.


    The Nine Souls Sword s'' Sword Qi continued to attack Master Liu, just like a pack of wolves pouncing on their prey, the sound was extremely loud.


    Right at this moment, Liu Anjun appeared next to Li Xie in a flash.


    Just as Li Xie retracted his gaze, Liu Shang Jun had already slashed his right arm with his silver sword.


    Li Xie immediately widened the distance between him and Master Liu. The Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi had already surrounded Master Liu, yet he could still escape.


    Young Master Li, I didn''t disappoint you, did I? Liu Shang Jun asked.


    It was time to end this contest! Li Xie said as the corner of his mouth rose.


    Yes, let me finish it! Just as he finished speaking, the entire Liu Army rose up from the ground!


    All of the Sword Qi were attached to the blade of the silver sword, causing the killing intent of the silver sword to flourish!


    Liu Shang Jun narrowed his eyes, right now he was using a sword move that was enough to let Li Xie die!


    Infuriated!


    Rumble ¡­


    He was already surrounded by the dense and strong Sword Qi, his speed was extremely fast, and there was no way for him to dodge.


    He could not hear anything, only the roaring of the Sword Qi in his ear.


    Immediately after, the silver sword in his hand lightly vibrated a few times. This was a situation that had never occurred before.


    Liu Anjun waved the silver sword in his hand, allowing the Sword Qi to shoot out at full strength.


    Bang Bang


    The ground of the Dongfang Mansion dungeon shook, and pieces of stones began to fall from the top of his head.


    Unable to control his own steps, he retreated step by step.


    What happened was that the Elemental Energy in his body was already on the verge of drying up.


    Just now, he had thought that he had steadily won the bet.


    The sight of the surroundings caused him to feel even more depressed.


    Boom!


    Ah ¡­


    With a blood-curdling screech, Liu Anjun fell backwards into the stone wall, blood flowing out of the corner of his mouth.


    Li Xie kept his Nine Souls Sword, and the power of the Sky Fury Skill slowly weakened.


    Li Xie walked forward quickly, and the distance between him and the army grew closer and closer.


    Master Liu raised his head and looked forward. At this moment, his hair was disheveled, and the black robe he was wearing was tattered.


    He had never been in such a sorry state before, he almost didn''t recognize the current him.


    When Liu Shang Jun looked at the Silver Light Sword, which had fallen to the side, the Silver Light Sword had already lost its edge.


    He had lost. Completely lost. This was a result he had never expected.


    When Li Xie stood in front of Liu Shang Jun, Liu Shang Jun had once again returned to that cold him.


    Young Master Li, why didn''t you kill me? Liu Shang Jun said.


    You still have resentment in your heart. Even if you die, it wouldn''t be appropriate for you to die at this moment. Li Xie said.


    Resentment? I don''t have any grudges right now, only my heart is dead! Liu said.


    Now, you still have the chance to prove yourself, as long as you find out who the Su Family has truly placed in the eyes and ears of the Dongfang Mansion. Li Xie said.


    Even if they found out who the Su Family had placed in the true eyes and ears of the Dongfang Mansion, what meaning would there be? As soon as his voice fell, General Liu sighed.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows, he felt that Liu Anjun seemed to have changed into a different person.


    Maybe he could not accept this reality, the Dongfang Liang that he was loyal to actually suspected him.


    Whoosh ¡­


    Liu Shang Jun summoned a dagger and gripped it tightly in his hand, thrusting it towards his own chest.


    Li Xie immediately extended his left hand and grabbed onto Liu Shang Jun''s wrist. He did not understand why Liu Shang Jun would commit suicide.


    Just then, the silver light sword that was lying on the side, under the control of his will, pierced towards Li Xie''s back in an instant.


    Li Xie turned his head and immediately let go of his left hand, but the silver sword still slashed across his back.


    A burning pain spread throughout his body, causing Li Xie to frown.


    Hiss!


    Li Xie turned his gaze towards Liu Shang Jun, only to see that Liu Shang Jun had already pierced through his own heart with his dagger.


    Liu Shang Jun took one last look at Li Xie, blood flowing out from the corner of his mouth once again.


    When Liu Shang Jun pulled the dagger out of his chest, he lowered his head, his life was already completely gone.


    Clang!


    Liu Shang jun had already died, the silver sword naturally lost its soul, and dropped behind Li Xie.


    Li Xie clenched his left fist. Before Liu Anjun died, he did not forget to add on another wound, which showed how loyal he was to Dongfang Liang.

    Young Master Li! Young Master Li!


    Li Xie turned towards the entrance of the dungeon, only to see Wang Dong and Wang Xi rushing in.


    Li Xie did his best to recover his composure, he did not want others to notice that he had sustained heavy injuries.


    When they reached Li Xie''s side, they were already out of breath.


    Li Xie was ashamed. He had always felt that Wang Dong and Wang Xi had other intentions in getting close to him, it was obvious that he had wronged them.


    From the moment they appeared in the dungeon, they had already offended Dongfang Liang.


    Dongfang Liang could even abandon Master Liu. Let alone the two of them.


    You two brothers shouldn''t be here! Li Xie said with a straight face.


    Young Master Li, only you all can save Lady Miaomiao now! Wang Dong frowned and said.


    Is the one you guys are really working for, Lady Miaomiao? Li Xie asked.


    That''s right, if it weren''t for Lady Miaomiao, we would have all died a long time ago. Wang Dong said.


    Do you know where Miaomiao is trapped right now? Li Xie asked.


    We don''t know, but the chance for you to leave the Dongfang Mansion is here already. There is a group of black clothed people rushing into the residence. Wang Xi said.


    Li Xie raised his brows, there was actually someone who took advantage of the moonlight and rushed into the Dongfang Mansion.


    Could he be a subordinate of Su Family? Most likely, only Su Family would have the guts.


    But what was their goal? Could it be to help him smoothly leave the Dongfang Mansion? Was this Su Mian''s plan?


    After a short while, when Li Xie and the others reached the entrance of the dungeon, the Dongfang Mansion guards guarding the entrance of the dungeon had already run over to deal with the black-clothed men who were rushing in.


    The sound of swords flashing came from not too far away, followed by a loud scream.


    Wang Dong and Wang Xi looked at each other. In order to let Li Xie leave the Dongfang Mansion without a doubt, they had to do one more thing.


    Wang Dong and Wang Xi cupped their fists and bowed towards Li Xie, their eyes filled with the intent of bidding farewell.


    Following Wang Dong''s footsteps, Wang Xi walked forward quickly. The direction they headed towards was the back door of Dongfang Mansion.


    As they walked further and further away, Wang Dong and Wang Xi turned to look at Li Xie.


    Someone come quickly! That bastard Li Xie ran away from the back door!


    When Wang Dong''s voice reached Li Xie''s ears, he could not help but let out a long sigh. He was not sure if he would still have the chance to meet Wang Dong and Wang Xi again.


    Li Xie kept his thoughts and quickly walked to the west yard of Dongfang Mansion.


    Right now, everyone in the Dongfang Mansion was concentrated in the east yard and the south yard. The east yard was where Dongfang Liang resided so the black clothed man would definitely be charging fiercely into the east yard and the back door of the Dongfang Mansion was located in the south yard.


    Li Xie walked towards the west yard, but before he walked far, a man dropped from the sky in front of him, following that the man cupped his fists and bowed to Li Xie.


    He had come for Li Xie, and he was also shouldering a heavy responsibility.


    The sounds of blades and shadows floated along with the wind and entered his ears. He sneered a few times, as he had never seen such a pathetic Dongfang Mansion before.


    Normally, he would have to rack his brains every step of the way to enter Dongfang Mansion, and right now, he could freely move about within the Dongfang Mansion.


    The man kept his thoughts and took the chance to look at Li Xie again.


    Young Master Li, I have specifically come to find you tonight to bring you good news, do you want to know? the man asked deliberately.


    Speak! Li Xie''s face darkened as he shouted.


    Cough, this good news is that Miss Ling''er is currently safe, the City Lord will take good care of her. The man raised his eyebrows and said.


    The City Lord that the man spoke of must be Dai An Shan, right? Did he also lie in this muddy water?


    Was he trying to fish in troubled waters or was he seeking his own death? Li Xie would wait and see.


    How do I know if what you say is true or false? Li Xie said.


    The man sneered, then he took out a veil from his sleeves. The owner of the veil was naturally Miao Linger.


    What does the acting city lord wish me to do for him? Li Xie asked straightforwardly.


    Young Master Li, you are truly straightforward. Our City Lord hopes that you can send Dongfang Liang on a journey, it is time for Dongfang Liang to rest well. The man twitched his mouth and said.


    laughed to himself. He had already accepted Dongfang Liang as his brother, but now, he wanted his brother to hurry up and lose his life.


    If Dongfang Liang knew about this, would he be so angry that he would stomp his feet?


    The Ziyang City was getting more and more chaotic.


    Well, it''s time for me to go. I''m waiting for the good news. Just as he finished speaking, the man turned around and walked toward the end of the Dongfang Mansion with quick steps.


    Li Xie raised his head and looked at Moonlight. He could have immediately left the Dongfang Mansion, but he had to return now.


    Li Xie was currently confused, how could Miao Linger be trapped in the Ziyang City, could it be that Zhu Hangzhong is in cahoots with Dai An Shan?


    The water in the Ziyang City was really deep, perhaps even Dongfang Liang could not see it clearly.


    Li Xie turned and quickly walked toward the Eastern Courtyard where the Dongfang Mansion was located. Even though his body was already covered with wounds from the previous match with Liu Shang Jun, he could not ignore Miao Linger''s safety.


    The closer they got to the East District, the fiercer the sounds of swords and sabers clashing.


    On the way to the East Courtyard, corpses lay strewn all over the rockery and corridors.


    Fresh blood dyed the ground red with Dongfang Mansion, so tonight''s Dongfang Mansion was completely different from the past.


    The air was filled with the scent of blood, and the scent of sandalwood was gone.


    At this time, the Nine Souls Sword took the initiative to rush out of the sword sheath and into Li Xie''s hands.


    As the danger was approaching, Li Xie''s footsteps became more and more stable.


    Bang!


    Li Xie raised his head and saw two corpses cutting through the night sky at his feet.


    Li Xie lowered his head and saw that the two corpses were Wang Dong and Wang Xi.


    The reason for Wang Dong''s and Wang Xi''s death was related to him, he had to avenge them.


    Li Xie tightly gripped the Nine Souls Sword, causing a cold light to leak out from the Nine Souls Sword.


    Right at this moment, familiar footsteps sounded out in Li Xie''s ears. Li Xie looked towards the direction where the sound came from, and saw that it was Dongfang Liang walking towards him.


    Li Xie did not see the expression of worry on Dongfang Liang''s face, as Dongfang Liang was still as steady as Mt.


    The black-clothed men who had charged into the Dongfang Mansion were already surrounded by his guards.


    It had been a long time since the Dongfang Mansion was this lively, Dongfang Liang was actually in a good mood.


    Through this encounter, he could clearly see who was loyal to him, and who was arranged to be his eyes and ears.


    Even though his Dongfang Mansion had been greatly damaged inside and outside, he felt that it was worth it.


    Dongfang Liang stopped in his tracks, and coldly stared at Li Xie. He had originally thought that Li Xie had already escaped with his Dongfang Mansion, but he didn''t expect that Li Xie actually still hadn''t left.


    In Li Xie''s eyes, he saw fury, rage that was enough to destroy Dongfang Mansion.


    Dongfang Liang couldn''t help but raise his eyebrows. It was time to measure just how strong Li Xie really was.


    Li Xie, did you still stay in the Dongfang Mansion for my head? Dongfang Liang asked.


    Eastern Patriarch, you really are a smart person! Li Xie replied with a smile.


    Unfortunately, you won''t be able to kill me alone. How about asking your Yun clan friend to lend you a helping hand? Dongfang Liang said calmly.


    Eastern Patriarch, I have only met that Yun Clan Martial Cultivator once! Li Xie said.

 C101

    Dongfang Liang laughed to himself. Even if Li Xie were to say something to the heavens, he would not listen.


    Tonight, with so many of the Dongfang Mansion''s guards dead, Dongfang Liang would definitely blame this on Li Xie.


    Humph! Since things have progressed to this point, you shouldn''t try to fool me. The corner of Dongfang Liang''s mouth twitched as he said.


    Eastern Patriarch, didn''t you want me to die? Why did you splash dirty water on me? Li Xie shouted.


    Dongfang Liang gazed at Li Xie as if he was an emotionless person who was about to die.


    "Whiz!"


    A black shadow floated over from not too far away and stood beside Dongfang Liang in the blink of an eye.


    Dongfang Liang looked to the side and instantly opened his eyes wide, because the person beside him was none other than the one who had gradually risen up from the east.


    Today, Dongfang Liang hadn''t seen any signs of Dongfang Wenyi at all. Now that he suddenly appeared again, the look in his eyes made Dongfang Liang feel a little strange.


    What did Dong Fang Qi experience today? Dongfang Liang had no way of knowing.


    Li Xie watched as the east side gradually rose. He thought back to what Su Mian had said to him in the dungeon, and couldn''t help but feel regret in his heart.


    Li Xie was certain of this point.


    When a person they loved died in their arms, normal people would not be able to endure such pain. Some would even directly collapse.


    Li Xie saw endless indifference in Dong Fang''s eyes, the Nine Souls Sword in his hands trembled a few times.


    Qi''er, you can go down first. There''s no need for you to do anything right now. Dongfang Liang said as he gradually rose up towards the east.


    No, I want to kill Li Xie with my own hands, right now! A cold tone gradually rose from the east.


    However ¡­


    Without waiting for his father to finish speaking, Dong Fang had already summoned his Sky Breaking Axe and grabbed it tightly in his hand, as he pounced towards Li Xie.


    It had been a long time since Dongfang Wenyi had held the Sky Splitting Axe. When he held the Sky Splitting Axe in his hand again, the blood in his body began to boil.


    The Sky Breaking Axe was originally a last grade heaven-step weapon, but in the hands of the East, its power multiplied!


    Tonight, he wanted to kill to his heart''s content, especially this talented young Martial Cultivator like Li Xie.


    Bang!


    After arriving in front of Li Xie, Dongfang slowly swung the Sky Breaking Axe at Li Xie''s chest.


    Dongfang Wenyi''s Heaven Breaking Axe was extremely powerful. Even if several oxen were tied together, they would still be sent flying.


    Li Xie pushed the Nine Souls Sword forward, and the Sword Qi followed.


    However, there were not many Elemental Energy left in Li Xie''s body. Not long ago, in order to deal with Liu Shang Jun, he had already used Raging Heaven Arts, and could not use it again in this short period of time.


    He could tell that Li Xie was already standing on the edge of the cliff.


    Since that was the case, of course he was willing to gently push Li Xie down onto the road.


    Right now, he only wanted to raise his own cultivation level in Martial Cultivator, even if his hands were stained with blood!


    And Li Xie was like a rock in his eyes, a rock that had been stepped on by him!


    Boom!


    From the east, the Heaven Breaking Axe gradually rose. As the Heaven Breaking Axe tore through the air, its entire body began to emit fire!


    The killing intent became stronger and stronger, causing the air above the Dongfang Mansion to be covered in dark clouds!


    Clang!


    Once again, the Nine Souls Sword collided with the Sky Splitting Axe, causing the earth to shake and the mountains to shake.


    He was already a middle stage Burning Realm Martial Cultivator, and his Martial Cultivator cultivation was far above Li Xie''s.


    Although the Nine Souls Sword in Li Xie''s hands was a Heaven Ranked Weapon, it was not much different from scrap metal in the eyes of the people in the east.


    As the Eastern Divine Mountains gradually swung the Sky Breaking Axe at Li Xie again and again, Li Xie retreated step by step.


    Li Xie''s arms were already numb, but he was still clenching his teeth and holding on.


    His guess was right, Dongfang Jianyun had been deliberately concealing his true power.


    The all-out eastern side would gradually become extremely terrifying, and it wouldn''t be a problem for them to destroy the entire Ziyang City overnight.


    However, the more powerful the East was, the more excited Li Xie would be.


    Dongfang Liang, who was standing not far away, frowned. Initially, he had always hoped that the east side would gradually turn into what it was now, but now, he regretted it a little.


    Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world, so Dongfang Liang could only accept it worriedly.


    Clang!


    The Eastern Goblin King took the opportunity to sink down using the Heaven Breaking Axe. Despite Li Xie raising his Nine Souls Sword to block the Heaven Breaking Axe, his palm was already bleeding.


    Li Xie frowned, every swing of his sword seemed to be strenuous.


    Suddenly, Dongfang slowly pulled back the Sky Breaking Axe, turned around and stood behind Li Xie, and smashed the axe towards Li Xie''s back.


    The Heaven Smiting Axe''s roar resonated in Li Xie''s ears like a group of fierce tigers.


    Li Xie held the Nine Souls Sword in his hand and walked forward quickly. Suddenly, he made a turn and arrived behind the gradually rising eastern direction.


    He did not think that Li Xie would still have the thought of taking the initiative.


    Clang!


    Swift as a bolt of lightning, Dongfang slowly turned around and brandished the Sky Breaking Axe.


    The Sky Breaking Axe violently surged forward, as if it could tear everything in its way!


    Bang!


    Li Xie flew out together with the Nine Souls Sword in his hands, and then knocked over the fake mountain behind him.


    Li Xie struggled to stand up from the rubble, and blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.


    Dong Fang slowly raised the Heaven Smiting Axe on his shoulder and walked towards Li Xie step by step. At this moment, he was like a god of death!


    Li Xie did not choose to evade, and instead took the initiative to face the east with the Nine Souls Sword.


    Even if he stood on the edge of a cliff, he still wouldn''t give up any hope.


    Boom!


    As if he was struck by lightning, Li Xie flew out once again.


    After landing on the ground, the ground behind Li Xie had already turned into a crater.


    At this time, Li Xie''s hands were completely numb, and he was unable to move freely for a short period of time.


    Li Xie''s breathing became more and more hurried, and his eyes began to shine with starlight.


    The sound of footsteps from the east was getting closer and closer to Li Xie. Li Xie wanted to stand up immediately, but his body was not able to move.


    The Heaven Breaking Axe in Dongfang Chen''s hand had already smelled the fresh smell of blood, and it was very excited.


    Therefore, the Sky Splitting Axe took the initiative to struggle free from Dongfang Zexuan''s rising right hand, and swung towards Li Xie.


    Boom ¡­


    At this critical moment of life and death, the Nine Souls Sword pulled Li Xie along as it jumped up and dodged the Sky Breaking Axe''s attack.


    The corner of Dong Fang''s mouth twitched, he quickly stepped forward, held onto the Heaven Breaking Axe and rushed towards Li Xie once again.


    Bang


    Just like a mountain pressing down, the Eastern Goblin Tribe slowly swung their Heaven Breaking Axe towards Li Xie''s head.


    Li Xie clenched his teeth and used his last bit of energy to raise his Nine Souls Sword and fight the Sky Splitting Axe head on!


    But the moment the Nine Souls Sword collided with the Sky Splitting Axe, Li Xie fell down from the roof along with the Nine Souls Sword in his hands.


    Immediately after, the house collapsed with a loud crash, drowning out Li Xie who had fallen to the ground.


    Dongfang Wenyi raised an eyebrow, thinking that it was time to send Li Xie off on his final journey so soon?


    Since that was the case, he didn''t want to let Li Xie suffer for too long. Thus, he raised the Sky Breaking Axe and suddenly put it down!


    Boom!


    Li Xie''s position was instantly flipped over, and the broken brick wall turned into dust and flew into the air.


    Because of the rising dust in the sky, the world in front of him looked hazy, so he could only continue to wave the Sky Breaking Axe.


    As long as Li Xie was still trapped in the flying dust, he would definitely lose his skin and flesh!


    However, Dongfang Zexuan did not hear the sound of Li Xie''s body being torn apart, and could only grip onto the Heaven Breaking Axe tightly and rush into the flying dust.


    At this time, Dong Fang slowly raised the Sky Splitting Axe and the Elemental Energy was released. The dust in the air immediately settled.

 C102

    From the east, they gradually looked around and saw that Li Xie was no longer there.


    Logically speaking, with such heavy injuries, Li Xie should not have been able to move at all.


    Dongfang Wenyi raised his eyebrows because he sensed a trace of spirit energy. This spirit energy definitely did not belong to Ziyang City.


    At this moment, Dong Fang gradually became extremely frustrated, he was just a hair away from dying under the Heaven Smiting Axe.


    Once Li Xie recuperates from his injuries, his Ziyang City would cause another wave.


    Dongfang slowly turned around to look at his father. He knew that his father had a lot to tell him, but he didn''t want to hear it.


    And so, Dongfang quickly walked past his father without any hesitation.


    Now the east was cold as ice, the hot June sun could not melt, and he himself did not want to walk out.


    Dongfang Liang watched the back of Dongfang Wenyi as he walked further and further away from him, and couldn''t help but to let out a long sigh.


    Right now, he could only desperately move forward. Perhaps, he would be able to see the day when he would naturally arrive at the end of the bridge.


    Several hours later, dawn arrived and two strangers came to the Swallow Spring Pavilion.


    These two strangers were young men and women, who had just entered Ziyang City last night.


    Even though the security at the gates of the various large cities around the Ziyang City was tight, it was still nothing much in their eyes.


    And just last night, they even went to visit around Dongfang Mansion.


    At that time, there were corpses lying all over the Dongfang Mansion and the air was filled with the smell of blood. On the walls and ground, there were even traces of fire raging and wreaking havoc.


    The young girl wore a violet dress, whereas the young man wore white clothes.


    The Swallow Spring Pavilion was already empty, but he could still imagine the bustling scene of the Swallow Spring Pavilion.


    In one of Swallow Spring Pavilion''s guest rooms, a young Martial Cultivator was still unconscious.


    The young woman who had just arrived at Ziyang City was always by his side, her eyes filled with worry.


    They had already not seen each other for a few days, they did not expect that the next time they met, the young Martial Cultivator would have almost lost his life.


    The young woman listened attentively to the sounds of the young Martial Cultivator''s breathing. She really hoped that the young Martial Cultivator would open his eyes and see her in the next moment.


    She had a lot of things she wanted to tell the young Martial Cultivator about what she had experienced and what she had lost in the past few days.


    However, the young Martial Cultivator tightly closed his eyes, it was unknown when he would wake up.


    The young woman turned around to take a look, and another young man, who had entered the Ziyang City with her, stood by her side.


    Who would have thought that the kid from Dongfang Jiayu''s side would be so ruthless! The young man sighed.


    That fellow has gradually gotten up from the east. He suits your taste very well. You should be very excited, right? The young woman said.


    What''s there to be excited about? Although he is a little powerful, he is still quite a distance away from me. The young man said.


    After not seeing you for a few years, you are getting more and more conceited! The young woman rolled her eyes at the young man and said.


    I am not being conceited, but rather confident. Rest assured, I will think of a way to wake him up as soon as possible! The young man said steadily.


    In the blink of an eye, the Ziyang City was once again enveloped by the darkness of night.


    Last night''s bloodstained Dongfang Mansion had already been cleaned up, and the air was no longer filled with the smell of blood, but was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood.


    Dongfang Liang stood in the backyard, looking at the moonlight as he stroked his long beard.


    His men had already flipped the entire Ziyang City upside down, but still did not see any trace of Li Xie.


    Li Xie had suffered such heavy injuries, I don''t know if he was completely cold at the moment.


    Li Xie was like a thorn in his eye, if he did not pull it out now, he would have difficulty sleeping and eating.


    Following the crisp sound of footsteps entering Dongfang Liang''s ears, he withdrew his train of thoughts.


    He tilted his face to the side to take a look, and sure enough, it was Su Mian who came to talk to him.


    Perhaps none of them were mortals with the surname Su, and they could not understand them with their normal thoughts.


    When Su Mian stood beside Dongfang Liang, a smile rose on her face.


    Dongfang Liang did not want others to be able to guess what he was thinking.


    Young Master Wu, why aren''t you resting? Dongfang Liang asked.


    It was still early, not yet time to rest. Su Mian replied calmly.


    Young Master Wu, let me tell you a piece of good news, I have already sent someone to pass the information that you are currently in Dongfang Mansion to Su Ding, it will be up to him to decide what to do next. Dongfang Liang said.


    Su Mian turned her face and stared at Dongfang Liang, and could not help but frown.


    No matter how much happened in the Dongfang Mansion last night, Dongfang Liang still proceeded with his plans in an orderly manner.


    At this moment, Su Mian felt that the group of black-clothed men who had charged into the Dongfang Mansion last night were simply too useless.


    After last night''s events, their Dongfang Mansion had already raised their vigilance.


    Eastern Patriarch, do you have any news of Li Xie? Su Mian turned her gaze to another direction and asked.


    He did not appear to have disappeared into thin air from within the city. Dongfang Liang said.


    Su Mian secretly heaved a sigh of relief. As long as there was still no news of Li Xie, it was very likely that he was still alive.


    He grew up within the Dongfang Mansion, and the Dongfang Mansion was like his home. If he died, could it be that you were not affected by it at all? Su Mian asked with interest.


    He betrayed me, he deserved to die! Dongfang Liang said coldly.


    Eastern Patriarch, stop lying to yourself. You already know that Liu Shang Jun is not the person who betrayed you. Su Mian said.


    So what? Are you trying to blame me? Dongfang Liang''s face darkened.


    Cough, I just feel that it''s not worth it on behalf of Soldier Liu. Su Mian sighed and said.


    What''s not worth it, if it wasn''t for me, he would have already died in a pile of dead people! Dongfang Liang said.


    Su Mian secretly laughed. The more Dongfang Liang said this with such heartlessness, the more he felt that Dongfang Liang regretted wrongly blaming Master Liu.


    Now that Liu Shang Jun was dead, Dongfang Liang was basically without his left shoulder. He was trying his best to pretend that he was not affected at all.


    Eastern Patriarch, do you want to know who exactly are the eyes and ears of our Su Family that are placed in your Dongfang Mansion? Su Mian asked with a smile.


    I don''t want to know! Dongfang Liang looked at Su Mian, and said resolutely.


    Since that''s the case, I won''t say anymore. Su Mian raised her eyebrows and said.


    Mn, just peacefully live in my Dongfang Mansion, I will always regard you as an honored guest! Dongfang Liang said as the corner of his mouth rose.


    At this moment, a figure stood behind the two of them.


    Su Mian and Dongfang Liang turned around to see Dongfang Wenyi standing behind them.


    They immediately turned around. The sudden appearance of the East must have been due to something important.


    Dongfang Wenyi bowed towards Dongfang Liang, then looked at him coldly. Just a glance was enough to send a chill down Su Mian''s spine.


    Because of the matter of Bing Ying, Dong Fang gradually rose and no longer had any connection with Su Mian.


    Now was not the time, but when the time came, Dong Fang would slowly rise and personally kill Su Mian.


    Although the eyes that Dong Fang looked at him with were cold, Su Mian still bowed towards the east.


    Actually, Su Mian had always felt very bad about Bing Ying''s death.


    While he was in the Ziyang City, he would chat with Bing Ying whenever he had any worries.


    They were no longer master and servants, but good friends.

 C103

    Dongfang Liang was surprised by the sudden appearance of the East, but he would not reveal it.


    In the eyes of the East, Dongfang Liang was already unable to see anything, which made him a little worried.


    Qi''er, is there something important you want to tell your father? Dongfang Liang stroked his long beard and asked.


    Eastern Patriarch, do I have to leave? Su Mian was already prepared to leave.


    No need. Dongfang Liang looked at Su Mian and confirmed.


    Father, the people I sent out have all been investigated. The men in black who charged into the mansion last night were all subordinates of Dai An Shan! Dong Fang gradually said with a sullen face.


    Dongfang Liang laughed coldly, he never thought that it would be An Shan playing tricks on him.


    All these years, Dai An Shan had been very calm. Why wasn''t he calm this time?


    Since Dai''an Mountain had already done so, he would definitely give Dai''an Mountain a painstaking and unforgettable lesson.


    If he hadn''t been supporting Dai''an Mountain, it was unknown just how many times he would have died.


    Qi''er, immediately send someone to invite An Shan to the mansion! Dongfang Liang said.


    Yes! Father! As soon as he finished speaking, Dongfang slowly turned around and walked out.


    Master! Sect Leader Zhu has come to pay you a visit!


    Dongfang Liang looked in the direction of the voice. The butler of the Dongfang Mansion was already standing at the entrance of the backyard.


    The butler of Dongfang Mansion bowed towards Dongfang Liang. His forehead was drenched with sweat, and he appeared to be in a hurry.


    Dongfang Liang raised his eyebrows, it was rare for him to see the butler being so anxious.


    Qi''er, you stop first, who knows, maybe Zhu Hangzhong will bring us some good news! Dongfang Liang shouted to his back which was gradually rising.


    Dongfang Wenyi''s footsteps stopped abruptly, then he stood still on the spot.


    Butler, quickly invite Sect Leader Zhu to the backyard. Dongfang Liang said.


    Yes, master! Just as he finished speaking, the butler of Dongfang Mansion had already turned around and ran toward the Dongfang Mansion''s entrance.


    After a while, Zhu Hangzhong followed the butler from Dongfang Mansion to the backyard.


    After bowing to Dongfang Liang once again, the butler of Dongfang Mansion turned around and quickly walked out of the backyard.


    Zhu Hangzhong bowed towards Dongfang Liang and Dong Fang one by one, his face filled with smiles.


    With regards to Su Mian, Zhu Hangzhong merely gave him a glance.


    He did not come empty-handed to visit Dongfang Liang this time, he even brought a good item with him.


    He was confident that he would definitely receive Dongfang Liang''s praise this time, and from then on, he would be able to rise above everyone else in terms of Ziyang City!


    At this time, Dongfang Liang noticed that Zhu Hangzhong was holding onto something that was wrapped in a black cloth.


    Eastern Patriarch, I have already sent people to investigate everything. The black clothed people that rushed into the residence last night were all under Dai An Shan''s command! Zhu Hangzhong said.


    Mm, I already know about this! Dongfang Liang nodded and said.


    Eastern Patriarch, tonight, I have something very special to present to you! Zhu Hangzhong said, then he shook the thing wrapped in the black cloth.


    What is that? Dongfang Liang asked.


    The Eastern Patriarch, what was inside was a head for Dai An Shan! Zhu Hangzhong replied.


    Dongfang Liang immediately opened his eyes wide, and indicated for Zhu Hangzhong to open the black cloth.


    Zhu Hangzhong nodded, he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.


    Under the gaze of Dongfang Liang and the others, Zhu Hangzhong slowly opened the black cloth that was wrapped around himself.


    A thick smell of blood assaulted her nose, causing Su Mian to retreat a few steps and almost faint.


    As expected, the item wrapped in the black cloth was the head of Dai An mountain. The blood had not dried yet.


    Dongfang Liang gave Zhu Hangzhong a look, and Zhu Hangzhong immediately wrapped the black cloth around it again.


    Dongfang Liang stepped forward and patted Zhu Hangzhong''s shoulder. Zhu Hangzhong''s actions were fast and ruthless, it truly was a sharp weapon.


    Sect Leader Zhu, you are acting on your own! As soon as he finished speaking, Dongfang Liang''s face immediately became gloomy.


    Eastern Patriarch, I know I was wrong, I hope you can let me go this time, there won''t be a next time. Zhu Hangzhong turned pale with fright.


    Yes, I can let you go this time, considering how many years I''ve been at your beck and call. Dongfang Liang said, his expression easing up.


    Thank you Eastern Patriarch for your magnanimity! Zhu Hangzhong raised his left hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead.


    Su Mian secretly laughed, Zhu Hangzhong originally wanted to claim the credit with his head, but in the end he almost lost his life.


    The older the better, Dongfang Liang revealed his true colors as an old cunning fox.


    Sect Leader Zhu, have you found the killer of the substitute city lord? Dongfang Liang asked.


    Mn, as early as a few days ago, the butler of City Lord''s Mansion had discovered the adultery between the substitute City Master and his wife. In his fury, he took advantage of tonight''s night when the substitute City Master was not paying attention and killed him! Zhu Hangzhong said calmly.


    Heh, I didn''t expect the acting mayor to be such a romantic person! Dongfang Liang said with a smile.


    In the Eastern Patriarch, a pack of dragons cannot be without a leader, so I hope that you can temporarily take over as the city lord of Ziyang City! Zhu Hangzhong gazed at Dongfang Liang with respect.


    Dongfang Liang sank into deep thought. He could easily reach the position of City Lord of Ziyang City.


    However, he did not want to take the position of Ziyang City City Master with him, because that would be too harsh.


    No, I am already too old for the position of City Master of Ziyang City, I will recommend someone more suitable to be the position of City Master of Ziyang City. Dongfang Liang said.


    An hour later, the news of Ziyang City''s City Master dying in the hands of City Lord''s Mansion''s butler had already spread throughout the streets and alleys.


    There were many different opinions as to why the butler of City Lord''s Mansion would try to kill Fang Anshan. Among them, the most widespread rumor was about the adultery between Fang Anshan and the mistress of City Lord''s Mansion.


    The butler of City Lord''s Mansion had already committed suicide out of guilt, and his corpse was hung at the northern gate of Ziyang City.


    The originally silent night of Ziyang City was boiling, and everyone was discussing this matter.


    The two young men at the Swallow Spring Pavilion also heard of this news. Of course, they did not believe that Dai An Shan would die in such a shameful manner.


    Things happened too quickly, and there were no longer many people on the Ziyang City during these two nights.


    Pei''er, we really came at the right time, the Ziyang City is getting more and more lively! The man in white said.


    I don''t care about that, I only hope that Brother Li can wake up soon! The lady in purple said.


    Don''t worry, I''ve already given him the Yun clan''s unique spirit pill. If he recovers quickly, he will wake up tomorrow. The man in white said.


    Un, I''ll believe you this once. I hope you won''t disappoint me! The woman in purple said, her face restoring a trace of luster.


    The man dressed in white was called Shi Jianchuan, and the woman dressed in purple was naturally Sun Pei.


    They met in a small town outside of Ziyang City city, and then sneaked into Ziyang City together.


    Shi Jianchuan had known Sun Pei more than ten years ago, and at that time, Shi Jianchuan had already been the Yun Family Patriarch''s leading figure in bringing back the glory of the Yun Family.


    Shi Jianchuan had never seen Sun Pei look so haggard before, it could be seen that Li Xie''s luck was really not shallow.


    Right now, Shi Jianchuan only wanted Li Xie to wake up as soon as possible, he did not want to see Sun Pei''s haggard appearance.


    Brother Shi, you have to be careful. Don''t let anyone near the Swallow Spring Pavilion. Sun Pei said as she stood up and looked at Shi Jianchuan.


    This is just a small matter. If anyone is only ten steps away from the Swallow Spring Pavilion, they won''t be able to escape my ears. Shi Jianchuan said.


    Un, Big Brother Shi, I really want to know who was the one who invited you to trap the soul of the Eastern Patriarch''s Dongfang Liang in the Heaven Suppressing Pagoda? Sun Pei asked.

 C104

    Shi Jianchuan had already guessed that Sun Pei would ask such a question, because this matter was closely related to Li Xie.


    Sorry, it''s not the time yet, so I can''t tell you. Shi Jianchuan frowned and said.


    Brother Shi, you better not help the evil! Sun Pei reminded.


    Humph! I won''t become a chess piece in the hands of others. I only helped him once to repay him. Shi Jianchuan said.


    Sun Pei nodded her head, with Shi Jianchuan''s cultivation level, he would definitely not become a chess piece in other people''s hands.


    As for who Shi Jianchuan was trying to return the favor to, Sun Pei believed that that person would surface very soon.


    She did not want Shi Jianchuan to lie in the muddy water of the Ziyang City, and eventually fall into it.


    It was precisely because Li Xie had lied in the muddy water of the Ziyang City that he was still unconscious even after falling a whole body full of injuries.


    Thinking of this, Sun Pei''s eyes were covered by a layer of mist.


    Shi Jianchuan heaved a long sigh. Right now, there was no point in speaking any further, he could only wait for Li Xie to wake up.


    Shi Jianchuan turned around and walked out. He had to go to the roof of Swallow Spring Pavilion to take a look at the night scenery of Ziyang City.


    It was not easy for Shi Jianchuan to make this difficult trip to the Ziyang City s, as he would not miss any of those moments where he could appreciate beauty.


    Several hours later, the day from the Ziyang City arrived once more.


    Faintly, Li Xie felt that the sunlight outside was very glaring, he wanted to open his eyes, but he was unable to do so for a while.


    After sleeping for an unknown period of time, Li Xie felt that his entire body was still exhausted.


    But he could not let himself go back to sleep. A familiar voice kept ringing in his ears.


    That voice was very nostalgic, and he really wanted to open his eyes and take a look, so much so that he even stretched out his hand and gently touched it.


    Thinking of this, the corners of Li Xie''s mouth couldn''t help but lightly rise.


    At this moment, Sun Pei, who was originally asleep beside Li Xie, woke up. She saw the raised corner of her mouth.


    She smiled, like the coldest gust of wind in summer.


    Sun Pei immediately held Li Xie''s hand. She could clearly feel that Li Xie''s hand was even warmer than yesterday.


    Brother Li!


    Even though she really hoped that Li Xie would immediately open his eyes, she was afraid that she would disturb his rest.


    Li Xie had suffered such heavy injuries, so being unconscious was also a type of rest for him.


    What Shi Jianchuan said was right, if Li Xie recovered quickly, he could wake up today.


    Just then, Li Xie slowly opened his eyes, but the intense light outside still caused him to look elsewhere.


    When Li Xie got used to it, he turned his face to look at the man beside him and immediately smiled!


    Li Xie immediately sat up, as though his entire body was filled with power.


    Li Xie reached out his hand and gently touched Sun Pei''s face. Just now, he thought he was dreaming.


    Now, what he was sure of was that Sun Pei was genuinely sitting beside him. They had clearly not seen each other for a long time, yet it seemed like they had always been by each other''s side.


    Brother Li, you finally woke up! Sun Pei said with a smile, and her voice was very light.


    Pei''er, aren''t you supposed to be at Mount Cang An? Li Xie asked.


    The clan leader knew that I could no longer be at ease in Cang An Mountain, so she sent me out to find my peace of mind. Sun Pei said gently.


    Li Xie didn''t say anything as he directly pulled Sun Pei into her embrace.


    Li Xie suddenly felt that the heavens still had eyes, he was heavily injured and almost died, but the first person he saw when he woke up was Sun Pei.


    As long as Sun Pei was by her side, Li Xie would not have to worry about him anymore.


    The word "worry" was simply too excruciating, and Li Xie really did not want to bear it.


    Li Xie heaved a long sigh of relief. Right now, his mood was as though he was pushing away the clouds and see the blue sky!


    At this time, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door, and Li Xie immediately left Li Xie''s embrace, his face completely red.


    After passing through the door, Shi Jianchuan walked quickly to Li Xie''s side. Li Xie had already woken up, but he was not shocked at all.


    Shi Jianchuan looked at Li Xie, and then looked at Sun Pei, and suddenly felt the atmosphere was a little awkward.


    But it would be even more awkward for him to turn around and leave. He could only pretend that he didn''t know anything.


    Brother Li, how do you feel right now? Shi Jianchuan asked softly.


    Luckily, it felt like he had made a trip to hell. Li Xie replied.


    You have to thank me. If I didn''t act in time, you would have died under the hands of Dong Fang Jian. Shi Jianchuan raised his head and said.


    Brother Shi, if it wasn''t for you, I wouldn''t be carrying such a heavy responsibility! Li Xie said with a gloomy face.


    One yard to one yard, they couldn''t be confused! Shi Jianchuan anxiously said.


    Brother Shi, you have to accompany me to Dongfang Mansion, the only person who can prove my innocence now is you. Li Xie said solemnly.


    I have to think about it. I can''t promise you now. Shi Jianchuan said.


    In the blink of an eye, the enormous Ziyang City once again sank into the darkness of the night.


    Ziyang City and Dongfang Mansion had already returned to their former glory, and at night, there were still many powers visiting them, giving them carts and carts.


    Dongfang Liang was not in the mood to bother with them, he just let the butler entertain them.


    Their goal was the City Lord position of the Ziyang City, how could Dongfang Liang not know.


    Right now, what Dongfang Liang wanted to hear the most about Li Xie was news about him. If he was alive, he wanted to see him, if he was dead, he wanted to see his corpse!


    The entire Ziyang City City had been turned upside down, but still did not see any trace of Li Xie.


    Thinking about it, Dongfang Liang who was walking back and forth in the study suddenly stopped in his tracks.


    Dongfang Liang, who had initially felt that he was extremely knowledgeable about Ziyang City, suddenly felt that this was not the case.


    Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dongfang Liang wanted to uncover all of them one by one and finish them off.


    Not good, someone had infiltrated the mansion!


    In an instant, the calm atmosphere of the Dongfang Mansion was broken.


    Dongfang Liang quickly walked to the outside of the study, he looked around and did not see any suspicious figures.


    But a bad premonition surfaced in his heart, Dongfang Liang could not help but raise his eyebrows.


    In all these years, he had experienced many trials and hardships, but tonight, he was still somewhat nervous.


    Dongfang Liang tried his best to calm himself down. He was a Patriarch of the Dongfang family! An illustrious figure in East Qin Kingdom!


    Even the overlord of East Qin Kingdom would have to be courteous to see him. Even if there was an extremely strong wave blowing towards them, so what?


    Dongfang Liang smiled. He was that Eastern Patriarch who was as steady as Mt.


    Whoosh ¡­


    Li Xie and Shi Jianchuan suddenly appeared in front of Dongfang Liang, and he was caught off guard by Li Xie''s sudden appearance.


    Furthermore, Shi Jianchuan was standing beside him, he was extremely familiar with him.


    Just a few days ago, he had tasted the flavor of the Zhentian Tower.


    Shi Jianchuan and Li Xie had actually appeared at the same time, could it be that they were really in the same group?


    Dongfang Liang looked around, the surroundings of the study room was extremely quiet, it was possible that the nearby guards had all been taken care of by Li Xie and Shi Jianchuan.


    Eastern Patriarch, how have you been! Li Xie cupped his fist and bowed to Dongfang Liang and said.


    Li Xie, don''t worry, my body is strong and will not die yet. Dongfang Liang said coldly.


    Eastern Patriarch, why is your tone still so aggressive? Shi Jianchuan looked at Dongfang Liang with interest and asked.


    Surnamed Shi, did you come together with Li Xie to take my head? Dongfang Liang asked.

 C105

    At this moment, even if he was facing Shi Jianchuan, Dongfang Liang was still showing the might of a Patriarch of the Dongfang family.


    No, Brother Shi is here to prove that I didn''t even know him before we met at Good Hanpo! Li Xie said, his tone filled with anger.


    I''m not a three-year-old, do you think I''ll believe your bullshit? Dongfang Liang squinted his eyes and said.


    Shi Jianchuan raised his eyebrows. It was obvious that Dongfang Liang was looking for an excuse to kill Li Xie.


    If he had known that Dongfang Liang was such a person, Shi Jianchuan would never have released his soul from Zhentian Tower.


    Because of him, many people within the Dongfang Mansion had recently lost their lives.


    Li Xie stared at Dongfang Liang helplessly. His previous impression of Dongfang Liang had already completely collapsed.


    In Li Xie''s eyes, Dongfang Liang was already a Strange Beast wearing human skin.


    Eastern Patriarch, you don''t seem to be planning to stop. Li Xie said.


    I can stop. I only need you to do me a favor, and I don''t know if you can agree to it. Dongfang Liang said with a smile.


    Of course I can''t agree! Li Xie said resolutely.


    The corner of Dongfang Liang''s mouth twitched. He had long known that Li Xie would reply like this.


    Now that they had completely fallen out with each other, there was no other choice but to fight to the death.


    Rise! Dongfang Liang raised his head and shouted towards the night sky.


    Li Xie and Shi Jianchuan had already truly joined forces, and just him alone would not be able to contend against them.


    As matters stood, Dongfang Liang could only gamble everything on this.


    Bang!


    Dongfang Zexuan immediately ran to the empty space in front of the study when he heard his father''s call. He was only ten steps away from Li Xie.


    Li Xie and Shi Jianchuan turned to look at the east side at the same time, then cupped their fists and bowed.


    The corner of Dongfang Xi''s mouth slowly rose. He was extremely excited about the appearance of Li Xie and Shi Jianchuan.


    He had long heard of Shi Jianchuan from his father.


    He really wanted to have a go at it, even if it meant losing to him.


    Brother Li, let me deal with Dongfang Liang, how about you deal with the gradually rising east? Shi Jianchuan glanced at Li Xie and said.


    Li Xie stared at Shi Jianchuan. He thought that Shi Jianchuan was joking with him, but who knew that Shi Jianchuan''s expression was very serious.


    Brother Shi, do you feel that your arrangements have been made? Li Xie asked.


    Dongfang Liang was an old cunning fox, the old cunning fox was the most difficult to deal with! Shi Jianchuan said with a sonorous and powerful voice.


    Un, what you said makes sense. I nearly believed it! Li Xie said.


    Humph! You two stop fighting, because none of you are going to run away! From the east, a roar rang out.


    "Whiz!"


    Shi Jianchuan instantly pounced towards Dongfang Liang with a tap of his feet. Dongfang Liang was already in his grasp.


    Dongfang Liang stared at the blade in front of him, holding it tightly in his right hand.


    Even though last time Dongfang Liang was helpless in front of Shi Jianchuan, he would still not choose to surrender without a fight!


    Once he fell, the Dongfang family would be left without any help, and the Dongfang family would be in danger!


    Bang!


    Ah!


    As Dongfang Liang''s blood-curdling screams resounded in the air above the Dongfang Mansion, half of Dongfang Liang''s body had already sunk into the ground.


    Shi Jianchuan stood by Dongfang Liang''s side, and once again, caught the old cunning fox.


    Although Dongfang Liang''s imposing aura did not lose out to before, he was still old.


    Shi Jianchuan shifted his gaze to the east. It was time for the east to make a decision.


    He didn''t need to say anything. Dongfang would definitely understand the meaning behind his eyes.


    Dongfang Wenyi clenched his fists. He had never been threatened before.


    This feeling of being threatened would gradually make Dongfang feel that he was very useless, and he would not accept it!


    Qi''er, hurry up and leave. Dongfang Liang raised his head and said to the east.


    Dong Fang gradually rose and looked at his father Dongfang Liang, then turned and quickly ran toward the shadows of the Dongfang Mansion.


    Li Xie immediately caught up to him with large strides, but Dong Fang had gradually grown up in the Dongfang Mansion, and shook Li Xie off in the blink of an eye.


    Shi Jianchuan squatted beside Dongfang Liang and patted his shoulder.


    At this moment, Dongfang Liang was a prisoner, and no longer had the aura of an Eastern Patriarch.


    If he wanted to kill, he would kill. If he wanted to cut her up, he would cut her up! Dongfang Liang clenched his teeth and said.


    Eastern Patriarch, you will live well ever since Dong Fang gradually rises and doesn''t return. Shi Jianchuan said.


    Two days later, Ziyang City City was at peace, and the east gradually disappeared from the world.


    However, Li Xie had a nagging feeling that the eastern side was outside of the city of Ziyang City and had never left.


    The Ziyang City s were still the Dongfang Mansion s of the past, but they no longer possessed their former majesty.


    Dongfang Liang was severely ill, and all of the matters at the Dongfang Mansion were handled by the butler.


    Compared to Dongfang Liang, the butler was not as relaxed these past few days.


    Su Mian had already sent out all of their Su Family''s spies in the Ziyang City, so even if they had to find the ends of the world, he had to find the location of the eastern region gradually.


    The current Dongfang was no longer the him of the past. He could do anything.


    Li Xie and Shi Jianchuan did not stay in the Dongfang Mansion, and returned to the Swallow Spring Pavilion.


    Although Swallow Spring Pavilion was not as extravagant as Dongfang Mansion, it was actually easier to calm one''s heart.


    In the backyard of Swallow Spring Pavilion, Li Xie was brandishing his Nine Souls Sword as the Sword Qi whistled horizontally.


    Sun Pei sat in the pavilion at the backyard and watched. The teamwork between the Nine Souls Sword and Li Xie became more and more flawless.


    Along the way, Li Xie had always made her feel amazed.


    At some point in time, Sun Pei felt that she was the most special person there was, and only now did she realize that there was someone more special than her.


    Just then, Sun Pei heard Shi Jianchuan''s footsteps, she turned to look, only to see Shi Jianchuan shaking his head, as though he did not care about Li Xie''s sword moves.


    After all, Shi Jianchuan''s realm was higher than Li Xie''s.


    Swoosh!


    Suddenly, a sharp arrow descended from the sky and landed by Li Xie''s feet.


    Li Xie immediately kept his Nine Souls Sword and pulled the arrow out with his left hand.


    There was a white cloth tied to the arrow. There were a few lines of words written on the cloth.


    Shi Jianchuan and Sun Pei quickly walked to Li Xie''s side, and their gazes naturally fell on the white cloth.


    Li Xie removed the white cloth from the arrow, and then slowly untied the white cloth.


    The few lines of words on the white cloth did not surprise Li Xie at all.


    However, with Dongfang Wenyi''s personality, he would definitely be disdainful to do such a thing.


    Squeak squeak...


    With a pinch with all his might, the white cloth and arrow in Li Xie''s hand almost turned into ashes at the same time, and scattered along with the wind.


    Brother Li, I want to go with you. Sun Pei looked at Li Xie and said.


    I''m not sure if Deer''s Well is a trap, so you can''t come with me. Li Xie shook his head and said.


    Brother Li, then I will accompany you to Lu Kou Well! Shi Jianchuan said. The past two days were too quiet, he was feeling extremely depressed.


    Brother Shi, you should just stay here. I''ll leave Sun Pei''s safety to you, I will quickly return! Li Xie said.


    Shi Jianchuan nodded his head, signalling for Li Xie to be at ease. As long as he was here, he would definitely be able to guarantee Sun Pei''s safety.


    Brother Li, it''s too dangerous for you to go to Lu Kou Jing alone! Sun Pei said worriedly.


    Do you think I can''t come back alive? Li Xie asked.


    Of course not ¡­ Sun Pei frowned and said.


    Well, I must go, and I will try to get back before dark! Li Xie said firmly.

 C106

    An hour later, Li Xie was already at the southern part of Ziyang City City, at the Deer Manhole.


    The well was actually a small town that had been abandoned for a long time. At the head of the village was a well that was said to have been used by deer herds thousands of years ago.


    However, the times had changed, and the world had changed. Not only had the deer disappeared, even the commoners had disappeared.


    The well at the village entrance had long since dried up, and was no longer as clear as it used to be.


    Li Xie walked along the narrow streets of the Lu Kou Well, where withered houses lined both sides of the street.


    There was no life here, no fresh air, no hope.


    It was precisely because of this that Li Xie felt that the East was gradually rising and hiding here.


    The East was no longer the him of the past, and anything he did became possible.


    Even though the well was small, it was not easy to find someone.


    After Li Xie searched through the well, he still could not find any trace of the east side, and could not even hear a single sound from the Strange Beast.


    The Nine Souls Sword on Li Xie''s back that was in the sword sheath seemed to have fallen asleep, it did not move at all.


    Li Xie stopped and looked around, a layer of mist had appeared, and the mist was very faint.


    The mist was like a pair of invisible hands, slowly crushing the deer well.


    Li Xie immediately walked out, but suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him, causing him to stop.


    When Li Xie stopped, the footsteps behind him also stopped.


    Li Xie immediately turned his head to look. It was Zhu Hangzhong leading a group of disciples that were standing behind him.


    Zhu Hangzhong tilted his neck and stared at Li Xie, as if he was looking at a dying person, his eyes still held a bit of ridicule.


    Why did Zhu Hangzhong appear here? That''s right, Zhu Hangzhong was a close relative of the Dongfang family.


    Li Xie turned and looked at Zhu Hangzhong. He wanted to see what Zhu Hangzhong wanted to do as he and the Nine Souls Sword had already been prepared.


    Zhu Hangzhong squinted his eyes and laughed, he never thought that Li Xie would actually come alone here.


    Zhu Hangzhong secretly sighed at Li Xie''s guts. No wonder Dongfang Liang wanted him to die so much.


    Young Master Li, we meet again! Zhu Hangzhong raised his eyebrows and said.


    Sect Leader Zhu, was all of this your plan? Li Xie asked straightforwardly.


    It''s not my plan. I''m just following orders. Zhu Hangzhong replied.


    Was it an order from the East? Li Xie asked again.


    Yes, that''s right. Zhu Hangzhong said.


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth raised, he did not come this time for nothing, as he had truly gotten up from the east side.


    After two days of rest, his injuries had basically recovered, and he could now fight with Dongfang Wenyi again.


    Li Xie had always kept this in mind when he lost to Dong Fang Jian the last time.


    Of course, compared to the last time, Dongfang Wenyi was definitely more well-prepared.


    Young Master Dongfang, you must have appeared! Li Xie roared.


    Li Xie, are you deaf? I''m already behind you!


    Li Xie seized the opportunity to turn around and look forward. He saw Dongfang slowly standing about ten steps away from him, and the Heaven Smiting Axe in his hand glimmered with a cold light.


    Zhu Hangzhong, you can go now! From the east, he glanced at Zhu Hangzhong and said.


    Yes, young master Dongfang, we''re leaving now! Zhu Hangzhong gradually bowed towards the east, and immediately walked towards the exit of the Deer Mantle, his footsteps becoming faster and faster.


    Zhu Hangzhong''s back was already wet, he had never seen an east side that was brimming with killing intent as today.


    The sky above the well was already filled with a murderous aura, and the dark clouds were drifting over with it.


    The look in Dongfang Wenyi''s eyes was ice-cold to the bone. He would settle all the new debts together with Dongfang Wenyi today.


    When Zhu Hangzhong and his disciples had left, the eastern side gradually raised the Heaven Smiting Axe and pointed it at Li Xie''s heart.


    In the eyes of the people in the east, Li Xie deserved to die a few nights ago.


    Li Xie had already lived for a few more days, so Dong Fang gradually felt that Li Xie should be satisfied.


    This day next year will be the day of your death! Dong Fang gradually said in a cold voice.


    Young Master Dongfang, you are not the first Martial Cultivator to say what you just said to me. Li Xie said.


    Humph! I will be the last! Dong Fang said as the corner of his mouth twitched.


    Since that''s the case, then hurry up and give it a try! Li Xie raised his eyebrows and said.


    Alright, I''ll grant you that wish now! Right after he finished speaking, Dongfang slowly jumped up, and took the chance to strike Li Xie''s forehead with the Heaven Smiting Axe.


    Clang! Clang!


    The clash between the Nine Souls Sword and the Sky Splitting Axe ignited into countless of sparks, which was extremely dazzling.


    The attacks from the east were like the wind. He would let Li Xie exhaust his Elemental Energy in the shortest time possible, and then raise his neck to wait to be slaughtered.


    Just now, he had already circled the area around the New Deer Well. He was certain that there was no one around and that Li Xie would be left without help.


    After he had killed Li Xie, he would hang the head of Li Xie on the city gate of Ziyang City.


    Ziyang City was a city that belonged to their Dongfang family. Even if the overlord of East Qin Kingdom personally took action, he would not take a step back.


    Let alone Li Xie, who was slowly growing up to know that Li Xie was just a somewhat talented Martial Cultivator who had come from a small city.


    Boom!


    Dongfang Wenyi brought the Sky Breaking Axe down with such force that it could split mountains and shatter rocks!


    Li Xie raised the Nine Souls Sword higher, and in the blink of an eye, he chose to face the adversity.


    In the instant when the Nine Souls Sword collided with the Sky Splitting Axe, his feet had already sunk into the ground.


    He seemed to have already seen Li Xie''s bloodied body, and as a result, the blood in his body was already boiling.


    The Sky Splitting Axe rushed forward, it did not put the Nine Souls Sword in its eyes at all.


    At this moment, the Sky Breaking Axe was in the same state of mind as Dongfang Wenyi, and they were in the same state of mind.


    Clang!


    Dong Fang slowly pulled back the Sky Breaking Axe, then swung his hand fiercely towards Li Xie''s chest, bold and powerful.


    Although Li Xie had already lowered the Nine Souls Sword down, and just so happened to meet the Heaven Breaking Axe head on.


    But Li Xie was still sent flying and fell into a house that was one foot high with dust all over.


    The Heaven Smiting Axe slowly rose from the east and pounced towards Li Xie. He would not give Li Xie the chance to catch his breath.


    Boom!


    Although Li Xie did not have the time to stand up, he raised his Nine Souls Sword and met the Sky Breaking Axe in Dongfang Xiu''s hand once again.


    The eastern side gradually exerted all strength to push down, and half of Li Xie''s body sank into the ground.


    Dongfang Wenyi smiled coldly, he had the upper hand already!


    At this time,''s hurried breathing sound could be heard from the east. He was certain that there were not many Elemental Energy left in Li Xie''s body!


    Dongfang narrowed his eyes, but the killing intent coming from him grew even stronger.


    At this time, Li Xie held the Nine Souls Sword''s sword hilt tightly and pushed it forward.


    Li Xie immediately supported himself up with his left hand, even though his entire body was exhausted.


    The realm of the Martial Cultivator that was gradually rising from the east was higher than his, and the Elemental Energy were even more flourishing.


    Dang, dang, dang!


    From the east, he waved the Sky Splitting Axe, and like a torrential storm, it pounced towards Li Xie.


    If Li Xie was even a little bit slower, he would have been minced into meat and rolled to the ground.


    Li Xie''s speed of swinging the sword was very fast, but in the eyes of the gradually rising east side, it was surprisingly slow.


    Therefore, no matter how Li Xie swung the sword, Eastern Ascension was always able to smoothly react and move freely.


    Boom ¡­


    From the east, he swung the Sky Splitting Axe forward, and a fierce flame flew towards Li Xie.


    Li Xie immediately dodged, allowing the flames that were flying towards him to land on empty space.

 C107

    The eastern side gradually rose up, and with a point of his feet, he instantly arrived above Li Xie. As if he was pressed down by a mountain, he ruthlessly chopped down with the Heaven Breaking Axe!


    Dongfang Wenyi had already made up his mind that after he killed Li Xie, the next person would be Shi Jianchuan, even if Shi Jianchuan was a Martial Cultivator of the Sheng Domain.


    All those who were against him or the Dongfang family would die without any room for negotiation.


    The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Following which, the Elemental Energy s in his body violently surged.


    Bang


    Li Xie was flung out again, and before he fell to the ground, he knocked over at least a few houses.


    The originally lifeless Lu Kou Well became more and more dilapidated. Once it was destroyed, it would get closer and closer.


    Dong Fang gradually carried the Heaven Smiting Axe on his shoulder, and then walked towards Li Xie step by step.


    Boom!


    Li Xie raised his Nine Souls Sword and rushed out from the dust and broken walls, his sword thrusting towards the east gradually.


    Now that he wanted to turn defense into offense, he did not want the east to gradually look down on him.


    He was a true Martial Cultivator, and one that got braver the more he fought!


    Humph! You are only fit to be beaten! You actually want to take the initiative? How laughable! Dong Fang gradually shouted in a cold voice.


    Clang!


    The Eastern Ocean gradually swung the Sky Splitting Axe towards Li Xie''s chest, where Li Xie brandished the Nine Souls Sword and blocked the Sky Splitting Axe once again.


    A cold smile slowly rose from the east because the Elemental Energy in Li Xie''s body was already on the verge of drying up.


    Following the attack that was gradually coming from the east, Li Xie''s heels could not help but move backwards, and a deep mark was carved into the ground.


    The Heaven Breaking Axe had already been ignited in flames, and spread toward Li Xie''s hand along the Nine Souls Sword.


    Dongfang Wenyi narrowed his eyes, but the murderous intent in them still surged violently towards the outside!


    Suddenly, Li Xie released his hand, and then leaped to the back of Dong Fang Rong.


    Dongfang Wenyi raised his eyebrows, the Nine Souls Sword was right under his nose right now.


    The Nine Souls Sword and Li Xie''s hearts were already interlinked. As long as they cut the Nine Souls Sword in half, Li Xie would only be able to wait for his death.


    Just as the Sky Splitting Axe was about to strike the Nine Souls Sword from the east, the Nine Souls Sword suddenly disappeared.


    Hiss!


    The had already returned into Li Xie''s hands.


    The sword edge of the Nine Souls Sword shined with a sharp light as the Sword Qi waited to be unleashed.


    Boom!


    He did not expect that Li Xie would actually still have Elemental Energy s scattering around.


    He swung the Heaven Breaking Axe forward with great force, causing the entire well to tremble.


    Hiss! Hiss!


    The Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi whistled out, and attacked the vital areas that were gradually rising from the east.


    The eastern side gradually retreated while brandishing the Heaven Smiting Axe, causing the incoming Sword Qi to be completely destroyed.


    When he looked down from the east, he saw that the Sword Qi had left more than a thousand sword marks on the ground.


    When Dongfang Wenyi''s gaze once again fell on Li Xie, he saw endless fighting spirit in Li Xie''s eyes.


    He frowned. Li Xie should have been exhausted, but he wasn''t.


    The corner of Dongfang Wenyi''s mouth twitched. The more Li Xie fought, the braver he became. How could he allow himself to fall behind Li Xie?


    Ah!


    With an explosive roar from the east, the Sky Breaking Axe in his hand suddenly became stronger.


    With a leap, he dropped down from the sky, while at the same time, from the east, he smashed the Heaven Smiting Axe towards Li Xie''s head, like a stormy sea!


    The fire was still burning brightly, and the sound of it was like a heavenly sound to the ears.


    Clang!


    As the Nine Souls Sword and the Sky Splitting Axe clashed, it instantly caused the night sky to flash with lightning and thunder.


    Li Xie clenched his Nine Souls Sword tightly, even though his arms were numb.


    He was waiting for the right moment, a chance to turn the situation around.


    Dongfang Wenyi gripped the Sky Splitting Axe tightly and with a shake, he immediately sent Li Xie flying!


    Li Xie fell backwards, knocking over a few large trees behind him before he managed to stabilize his footsteps.


    At this moment, there were not many Elemental Energy left in Li Xie''s body.


    Compared to Su Cheng, the moment the Eastern Goblin King became even more fierce, it would become even more ruthless.


    Amongst the younger generation Martial Cultivator of the Transcendents, Dong Fang was an absolute leading figure, not one bit inferior to Su Cheng.


    It was a pity that they had run into each other, and only one of them was left alive.


    Li Xie held the Nine Souls Sword tightly once again. It was the time for a decisive battle!


    At this point, he could still clearly see the fiery fighting intent in Li Xie''s eyes, which made him a little surprised.


    It was as if Li Xie still believed that he had the possibility of turning the tables around.


    The Heaven Breaking Axe gradually rose up from the east, following which the Heaven Breaking Axe became incomparably cold.


    Although it was daytime, there was a chilly wind blowing all around. It was as if it was the middle of the night.


    All of this was due to the gradual influence of the East, he was currently concentrating his Elemental Energy.


    He was also a little tired, and it was impossible for him to continue wasting time with Li Xie.


    Boom!


    Dongfang slowly jumped up, and smashed the Heaven Smiting Axe towards Li Xie in one go.


    At this moment, the mood in the East had reached its peak!


    He did not believe that Li Xie could endure under his full-force attack. He was already itching to see Li Xie''s badly mutilated appearance.


    Li Xie raised the Nine Souls Sword s in both hands to meet the Heaven Smiting Axe. The Heaven Smiting Axe brandished its claws and bared its fangs, attempting to swallow the Nine Souls Sword whole.


    Li Xie frowned, because he heard the exhausted voice of the Nine Souls Sword.


    Dongfang Wenyi and the Sky Breaking Axe in his hands gained the upper hand step by step, and their attacks became even fiercer.


    In this moment of life and death, the Purple Light True Fire heard Li Xie calling out to it, and it immediately opened its eyes.


    Immediately after, a strong surge of energy flowed into Li Xie''s body, causing him to be extremely spirited!


    Dong Fang gradually raised his brows. He had already sensed that something was amiss.


    Boom!


    From the east, the Heaven Breaking Axe was slowly pushed down as a strong wave of Elemental Energy knocked Li Xie down to the ground.


    With each step he took, Dongfang slowly raised the Heaven Breaking Axe and arrived in front of Li Xie.


    The corners of Dongfang Wenyi''s mouth twitched. His eyes were filled with killing intent!


    Li Xie and Su Mian were so close together, so the rising of the east would definitely not let him live for too long.


    Infuriated!


    In the blink of an eye, the sky above Lu Kou Well was filled with waves of fierce Sword Qi s.


    Li Xie had already cultivated the Sky Fury Skill to the third layer, so the power was naturally even stronger.


    The Sword Qi that covered the sky and the ground did not count for much in his eyes.


    He brandished the Sky Splitting Axe in his hand so that the Sword Qi that was pouncing towards him could not even take half a step closer.


    The sound of the Sword Qi''s roar could be heard all around his ears, but Dongfang slowly started to pay no attention to it.


    Bang! Bang!


    Under the impact of the Sword Qi, the houses that were originally crooked to the east and west collapsed one after another.


    It wouldn''t be long before Lu Kou Jing''s East Qin Kingdom completely disappeared.


    Li Xie had already stood up. With the Nine Souls Sword in hand, he controlled the Sword Qi to attack the east as it slowly rose.


    The Sword Qi became more and more powerful, and the East could only rely on its speed to get close to it.


    However, after a short while, Dongfang could clearly feel that he was starting to run out of strength.


    Unknowingly, Dong Fang started to frown. This was the second time he had frowned in over twenty years.


    The corners of Dong Fang''s mouth twitched, he swung the Heaven Smiting Axe and pounced towards Li Xie, even though he was surrounded by Sword Qi, he could still clearly see where Li Xie was.


    Ah!


    The east was roaring, and he was trying to rouse his tired spirit.


    However, things went against his wishes, and his roar was quickly drowned out by the Sword Qi.


    Under the impact of the Sword Qi, the East was gradually getting more and more bruised up, and became more and more miserable.


    Moreover, the Heaven Breaking Axe in his hand was exhausted, and it became increasingly difficult to wield it!

 C108

    This was impossible!


    Just now, he had almost taken Li Xie''s life. How could he be at a disadvantage so quickly?


    Furthermore, Li Xie''s cultivation level was below his, so he should have been beaten up by him.


    It was as if the sky had collapsed, and the ground beneath his feet was already swaying!


    Dong Fang kept reminding himself in his heart that the battle between him and Li Xie was not over yet.


    Swoosh!


    From the east, he stopped and looked down. A Sword Qi had pierced through his chest.


    Like a tree fluttering in the wind and rain, the East gradually began to sway.


    This was a feeling that he had never experienced before from the east, and it left a deep impression on him.


    Dong Fang gradually raised his eyebrows and brandished his Sky Splitting Axe again. He felt that he had not lost yet!


    Several Sword Qi s pounced toward the east, making it impossible for him to dodge.


    "Hiss ¡­" "Hiss ¡­"


    As the sound of his body being torn rang out in the air, the gradually rising body in the east was already in tatters.


    Clang! Clang...


    In order to not let himself fall, Dongfang slowly pierced the Heaven Breaking Axe into the ground.


    The Sword Qi whistled back and forth in his ears, but he did not attack again.


    They were tormenting the East as it gradually rose, causing it to gradually grow fearful one step at a time.


    Once the fear began to grow in the East, he would be in so much pain that he would wish he were dead.


    The Heaven Breaking Axe''s edge had already been sharpened to the point where it no longer had its original edge. It was even inferior to an ordinary weapon.


    The look in Dongfang''s eyes became more and more numb. The Elemental Energy in his body had already dried up.


    Dongfang gave a bitter laugh, but he couldn''t hear his own voice. How ridiculous it was.


    Ah!


    With an explosive roar, the entire well shook a few times.


    But it was useless, the Sword Qi was still circling above the rising sun in the east.


    Dongfang gritted his teeth as he tried to stand up, but his knees gave way and he lay on the ground like a pile of loose sand.


    The sky was spinning, the earth was shaking, and the mountains were shaking. The view from the east was already blurry.


    As the familiar sound of footsteps reached him from the east, he knew he could hear other sounds.


    Dong Fang slowly turned his head to the side and took a glance, seeing that Li Xie was staring at him.


    Why didn''t you kill me? What are you waiting for? Dongfang slowly asked in a weak voice.


    You decide for yourself! With that, Li Xie turned around.


    Dong Fang gradually laughed helplessly. Self-determination seemed to be his best choice, and it was also the respect Li Xie had for him.


    He tried his best to stand up, but one of his legs was shaking.


    He raised the Heaven Breaking Axe with all his might, and then used the Heaven Breaking Axe to break his own neck, fast and ruthless.


    Bang!


    As the eastern side gradually fell to the ground, the Heaven Breaking Axe in his hand turned into ashes.


    The Heaven Breaking Axe had been with Dongfang Wenyi for such a long time, and he had long accepted Dongfang as his master. He would not accept his new master.


    Thus, the Heaven Breaking Axe chose to gradually disappear along with the east without any hesitation.


    Li Xie heaved a long sigh of relief. The battle between him and Dong Fang had begun in an instant.


    After that, Li Xie sheathed his sword and walked towards the exit of the Deer well with large strides.


    The well was now completely different. Not a single part of it was intact.


    Whether it was the streets or the rubble, one could find traces of the Sword Qi on the ground.


    This place didn''t look like a ruin, but a tomb that was filled with countless lives.


    The dark clouds over the well were slowly dispersing, but the sun was still not over the ground.


    Bang!


    Su Mian slammed the table with all her might and glared at Zhu Hangzhong.


    When he found out that Zhu Hangzhong had lured Li Xie to the Deer Well and asked Dongfang Zexuan to deal with him, he was infuriated.


    If not for the fact that Zhu Hangzhong had served him for so many years, he would have killed Zhu Hangzhong with a single slash and fed him to the dogs.


    Zhu Hangzhong lowered his head and did not dare to look straight into Su Mian''s eyes.


    During the days Su Mian was in the Ziyang City, her hands were stained with blood.


    Zhu Hangzhong tried his best to control his breathing and lowered his posture.


    Could it be the Patriarch''s idea? Su Mian asked with a straight face.


    That''s right, it was Old Master Su''s idea, otherwise how would I dare to make such a decision? Zhu Hangzhong replied while trembling in fear.


    Don''t you know that Li Xie is my friend? Su Mian said.


    I know, but I can''t disobey Old Master Su''s orders. Zhu Hangzhong said.


    You mean that in your eyes, you only have Patriarch and not me? Su Mian coldly asked.


    Ah!" Spare me, young master! Zhu Hang Zhong was on his knees in front of Su Wu in a panic, kowtowing a few times.


    Su Mian turned her back on Zhu Hangzhong. He already hated Zhu Hangzhong''s face.


    At this moment, Su Mian was most worried about who would survive between Li Xie and Dong Fang.


    Even though the reputation of the Eastern Divine Region wasn''t as great as Su Cheng''s, his strength was definitely not inferior to Su Cheng''s.


    And for Li Xie to be able to escape from the edge of the cliff time and time again, his strength must not be underestimated.


    If it was possible, Su Mian would rather stand by the side and watch the fight between them.


    Right now, he could only wait for the news, so his mood was extremely torturous.


    Several hours later, the sky darkened and Li Xie returned to the Ziyang City, Swallow Spring Pavilion.


    Not long after, Su Mian, who had received the news, quickly walked into Swallow Spring Pavilion. Right now, everyone outside of Ziyang City City were his eyes and ears.


    The ruling position of the Dongfang Mansion had already passed, and the sects crawling at the foot of the Dongfang Mansion continued to search for a new backer.


    In the backyard of Swallow Spring Pavilion, Li Xie and Sun Pei sat on the roof side by side, enjoying the moonlight.


    Sun Pei really wanted to ask what had happened at the Deer Mantle. Since Li Xie did not take the initiative to bring it up, she gave up on this idea.


    After all, Li Xie had returned alive, despite being covered in wounds.


    Li Xie, you really came back!


    Li Xie and Sun Pei looked towards the direction where the sound came from and saw Su Mian standing in the courtyard of Swallow Spring Pavilion''s backyard.


    Sun Pei sized Su Mian up. She was the one who had been involved in all the storms in Ziyang City City.


    Furthermore, his surname was Su, and the power behind him was Zhong Yuan City.


    Young Master Wu, your information is really well-informed. Li Xie sighed.


    Brother Li, who is the woman beside you? Quickly introduce me! Su Mian looked at Sun Pei, and then looked at Li Xie and asked, as he was extremely interested in Sun Pei.


    Her name was Sun Pei. She felt that with Su Mian''s strength, he definitely knew of Sun Pei''s origins.


    "Ugh ¡­" So it was Lady Sun. It was truly a pleasure to meet her! Right after she said that, Su Mian jumped up and then landed beside Sun Pei.


    Li Xie and Sun Pei stood up and bowed towards Su Mian without the slightest intention.


    Su Mian couldn''t help but raise her eyebrows, as if the distance between him and Li Xie had grown further. This was within Su Mian''s expectations.


    They used to be friends, but now they may be separated by the river.


    Brother Li, do you know how Miao Linger is doing right now? Su Mian rolled her eyes and asked Li Xie.


    Young Master Wu, why keep us in suspense? Just say it directly! Li Xie said.


    Who is Miao Linger? Sun Pei looked at Li Xie and asked.


    She and Brother Li were quite fated to meet, and even made Brother Li fall into their traps three times while they were at Zhong Yuan City. But what was strange was that they actually became friends. Su Mian said with a smile.


    Oh, she''s a wonderful woman, and I must talk to her if I get the chance. Sun Pei said.


    Young Master Wu, how is Miss Ling''er now? Li Xie asked.


    She is very safe, she has already left the Ziyang City, I do not know for sure where she will go. Su Mian raised her eyebrows and said.

 C109

    Li Xie let out a long sigh of relief. Right now, he was truly free to do whatever he wanted.


    Dongfang Liang was no longer the Dongfang Liang of the past. He was the only one left who knew her original identity.


    This wasn''t the first time they met, but this was the way of the world. Every time they met, it might be the last.


    Some of them had only heard of each other, but never had the opportunity to meet one.


    Three days later, Li Xie and Sun Pei arrived at the Sangzhou City travel worn out.


    Shi Jianchuan did not go with them, he chose to continue to roam about East Qin Kingdom.


    Li Xie recalled the last time he came to Sangzhou City, when the Devil Monarch was still here.


    The streets and alleys of Sangzhou City could not compare to the flourishing of the Ziyang City, but there were also quite a few pedestrians, passersby and merchants passing by.


    To Li Xie, Sangzhou City was nothing special. If he had to think of a special place, it would be Mu Yunji.


    If it wasn''t for Mu Yunji, there wouldn''t be such a smooth Sangzhou City.


    Compared to the other powerful aristocratic families in the other cities, Sangzhou City was not.


    This time Mu Yun Chu had specially sent someone to ask Li Xie to come to Sangzhou City, saying that he had something important to discuss with him.


    Li Xie did not hesitate and immediately rode the horse to invite them.


    When Li Xie and Sun Pei arrived at the Sangzhou City entrance, they heard the chaos within the City Lord''s Mansion.


    Logically speaking, such a large amount of Sangzhou City should not have any problems under Mu Yunji''s control, so how could such a small amount of City Lord''s Mansion have any problems?


    Li Xie looked to the left and right of the Sangzhou City gate, and saw that there were actually no soldiers guarding the gate.


    Li Xie and Sun Pei looked at each other and exchanged gazes. They all felt that something big had happened within the City Lord''s Mansion.


    They immediately walked into the City Lord''s Mansion area with quick steps, and saw that the servants and soldiers were all frowning.


    When Li Xie passed by them, they did not pay attention to him.


    The Sangzhou City and City Lord''s Mansion were immersed in a sorrowful atmosphere, even the sunset on the horizon had lost its luster.


    Li Xie frowned, a bad premonition was about to hit him!


    Young Master Li, you''re here!


    Li Xie and Sun Pei stopped in their tracks to look for the source of the sound. The person who spoke was indeed City Lord''s Mansion''s Commander Ding.


    Commander Ding was the most loyal person in the entire Sangzhou City to Mu Yunji, and also the person who supported him the most.


    Li Xie quickly walked toward Commander Ding and Sun Pei immediately followed closely behind.


    Commander Ding, where is the City Lord of Mu Yun? Li Xie asked with a slightly anxious tone.


    Commander Ding did not reply, but shook his head vigorously. He looked very dispirited.


    Li Xie''s heart tensed up, it was very possible that something had happened to Mu Yun Chu.


    Commander Ding gave Li Xie a look, signalling Li Xie to keep up with his footsteps, then quickly walked towards Mu Yunji''s bedroom.


    Li Xie looked at Commander Ding from the side, not a trace of blood could be seen on his face.


    It was as if even if a gentle breeze were to blow at this moment, it would make Commander Ding fall to the ground.


    After passing through the corridor and several courtyards, Mu Yunji''s bedroom was already in front of Li Xie.


    Although this was the first time Sun Pei had stepped into the City Lord''s Mansion s, she could feel that the current atmosphere of the City Lord''s Mansion was completely different from before.


    She saw a look of worry on Li Xie''s face and followed suit.


    The last time she was captured by the Devil Monarch, she had glanced at Mu Yunji. Could it be that she didn''t have the chance to speak to Mu Yunji again?


    Squeak squeak...


    When Li Xie and the rest entered Mu Yunji''s bedroom, the door closed up.


    Li Xie extended his gaze forward, and at the end of his line of sight, Mu Yunji was calmly lying there.


    The blood on Mu Yunji''s chest had already dried up and he had reached the end of his life.


    Li Xie immediately walked to Mu Yunji''s side and looked at his fatal wound. He was alarmed.


    The person who killed Mu Yunji was extremely vicious and did not give him any chance to live.


    Li Xie looked around the room. Other than the windows that were open, the bedroom did not have any signs of a fight.


    It was very likely that the person who killed Mu Yunji already knew Mu Yunji. Thus, he was able to unknowingly kill him.


    Li Xie turned his face and looked at Commander Ding; he had never seen Commander Ding who was covered in worry like this.


    Mu Yun Chu was already dead, so even if they had to strictly guard against it, this news would still spread throughout every street and alleyway of Sangzhou City. The Sangzhou City would immediately descend into an extremely chaotic state.


    In the past, because of Mu Yunji''s existence, no one dared to act rashly.


    Commander Ding, do you know why City Master Mu Yun invited me back to the Sangzhou City? Li Xie asked, he suspected that Mu Yunji had already smelled danger.


    But he was still a step too late, Li Xie blamed himself endlessly.


    I don''t know. I didn''t pursue the matter. Commander Ding said.


    Hmm, have you heard of any powers that want to make a move on City Lord Mu Yun recently? Li Xie asked.


    No, the recent Sangzhou City were calm and tranquil. Commander Ding replied.


    This was extremely strange. Li Xie said as he held his cheek.


    Commander Ding, who do you think is the murderer of City Lord Mu Yun? Sun Pei gazed at Commander Ding and asked.


    Commander Ding frowned and fell into deep thought. He then paced back and forth in the bedroom with heavy steps.


    Although it had been peaceful and quiet in the city lately, there would always be undercurrents.


    As the commander of the Sangzhou City s, he would more or less pay attention to this news.


    Li Xie stared at Commander Ding from the corner of his eyes. In all of Sangzhou City City, he could only understand Commander Ding.


    When Commander Ding stopped, there was a trace of cold killing intent on his face.


    I suspect that the culprit is Sect Leader Tang Zeng from the sky palace north of the city! Commander Ding said.


    Why did they send Sect Leader s? Li Xie knew very little about the Void He Sect.


    Last time at the Sangzhou City, his mind was completely focused on dealing with Devil Monarch, and he wasn''t paying attention to the situation regarding the Sangzhou City.


    When Commander Ding told Li Xie about the Void He Sect, he finally had a basic understanding of the sect.


    From the day Tang Zeng was created, the Void He Sect only had a dozen or so years of history, and could be said to have no hidden backing.


    Although the Konghe Sect was a young faction, it had been developing rapidly ever since it was founded.


    Given enough time, they might even be able to become the leader of an upright clan like the Sangzhou City.


    Several hours later, his Sangzhou City was tightly embraced by nightfall.


    As expected, the news of Mu Yunji being killed seemed to have grown wings and spread through all the streets and alleys of the Ziyang City.


    In Sangzhou City City, there were very few people who wanted to watch the excitement, and even more were frowning because of Mu Yunji''s death.


    The night of Sangzhou City was a bit quiet, and there were no longer many people coming and going through the streets and alleys.


    The soldiers of the Sangzhou City were still patrolling everywhere, but they had lost their usual vigor.


    And in the backyard of the City Lord''s Mansion, Li Xie was practicing his sword skills, sparing even a single move.


    Sun Pei did not stand at the side. She was using the power of the Spirit Race in the Sangzhou City to gather information for her.


    She felt that the person who killed Mu Yunji must still be in Sangzhou City City and he was still waiting for the right time. Could it be that he was attacking Mu Yunji because of the City Lord''s position?


    In order to prevent the people of Sangzhou City from getting into trouble, the only way was to find the person who had killed Mu Yunji as soon as possible.


    No matter how strong the powerhouses behind him were, Sun Pei and Li Xie would never let it go.

 C110

    Just then, a soldier guarding the City Lord''s Mansion gate ran over to Li Xie''s side in a hurry, his forehead completely covered in sweat.


    Li Xie immediately withdrew his Nine Souls Sword. He felt that tonight''s Sangzhou City would be abnormally long.


    Li Xie originally wanted to go rest after he finished practicing the sword, but he could not do so as he wished.


    Since this was the case, he decided that he must make good use of these few hours of the night.


    The soldier guarding the City Lord''s Mansion gave a bow to Li Xie, then handed over a piece of paper to Li Xie.


    Li Xie caught the paper, and just as he was gesturing to the soldiers guarding the City Lord''s Mansion gate to withdraw, the soldiers guarding the City Lord''s Mansion gate had already turned around and quickly walked back.


    Li Xie looked to his left and right, seeing that he was the only one in the City Lord''s Mansion backyard.


    Li Xie slowly opened the paper. The contents written on it were extremely interesting to him, and were exactly what he was looking forward to.


    After closing the slip of paper, Li Xie immediately walked quickly towards the southern courtyard with the City Lord''s Mansion. This was because Commander Ding had arranged for him and Sun Pei to stay in the southern courtyard.


    And now that Sun Pei was in the Southern Academy, he had to tell Sun Pei about this matter.


    Sun Pei would not go with him, she would stay inside the City Lord''s Mansion to wait for news.


    A moment later, Li Xie stood in front of the Kong He Sect entrance which was to the north of Sangzhou City City.


    Li Xie peeked inside the Void Sect. At this time, the sky sect was brightly lit, and the stars in the night sky would even dim and lose their luster.


    It was as if they had encountered something extremely happy, and could not control their joyful moods.


    Compared to the sorrowful atmosphere in the other places in Sangzhou City City, this place was very different.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows. Just as what Commander Ding said, there was indeed a problem with the sky and earth sects.


    At this time, the disciples of the Sky Harmony Sect who were guarding the gate noticed Li Xie and started to size him up. In their eyes, they all felt that Li Xie was a young man who wanted to join their Sky Harmony Sect.


    Since that was the case, the disciples of the Void End Sect who were guarding the gate immediately prepared to teach Li Xie a lesson.


    After all, they were old people from the Void He Sect. It was normal for a newcomer to suffer a loss since they had to go through with it.


    Just then, a donkey-faced disciple of the Void He Sect walked over and circled Li Xie, his eyes filled with disdain.


    With a body like Li Xie''s, how could they possibly have a handful of him?


    When the donkey faced Kong He Sect member stopped and stood in front of Li Xie, his eyes were already wide open.


    Unfortunately, he did not see the slightest trace of fear in Li Xie''s eyes, and this made him extremely angry!


    The donkey-faced disciple''s mouth twitched, and then he pushed at Li Xie''s shoulder. Whoosh.


    Li Xie did not retaliate, but cupped his fists and bowed towards the donkey-faced disciple from Kong He Sect.


    The donkey-faced disciple from Kong He Sect coldly smiled and continued to hold his head high.


    Brat, do you want to join our Sky or Earth Sect? With a donkey''s face, which sect''s disciple was empty-handed? He squinted his eyes and asked.


    Of course not, I came here in response to your Sect Leader''s invitation to have a chat with him. Li Xie said calmly.


    Humph! Brat, who do you think you are? How could our Sect Leader invite you to chat with him! What a joke! The donkey-faced disciple said in disdain.


    Hahaha! Brat, you''d better hurry up and get lost!


    Yes, scram quickly. Even if I wanted to, I don''t want to beat you up for fear of dirtying your hands!


    Li Xie stood firmly in place, then glanced at the few disciples who were guarding the Kong He Sect.


    The donkey-faced disciple''s mouth twitched, and took the opportunity to push Li Xie''s shoulder again.


    He was trying to provoke Li Xie, so that when Li Xie took the initiative to attack him, he could take Li Xie''s life.


    In his eyes, even Li Xie''s body was not enough for him to pinch.


    Bang!


    All of a sudden, Li Xie punched the donkey-faced disciple in the chest. The donkey-faced disciple was instantly sent flying, as if he had been knocked over by a cow.


    When the donkey faced disciple from the Void He Sect landed on the ground, his mind was still blank.


    Just now, Li Xie''s punching speed was too fast, he was unable to react in time, even if he reacted, he would not be able to dodge it.


    Everyone attack together! Kill this stinking brat!


    In an instant, all of the disciples of the Void He Sect who were guarding the gate rushed towards Li Xie.


    They were like a pack of wolves.


    Li Xie dodged, immediately causing their attacks to return without any results.


    They waved their fists towards Li Xie''s vitals, and each of their punches became fiercer than the last, not holding back at all.


    Once Li Xie was caught, they would still need to break his bones one by one!


    At this time, the donkey faced disciple from the Sky and Land sect had already recovered from his shock. He picked up a rock by the side of the road and quickly rushed towards Li Xie''s head.


    Li Xie waved his hand, and a wave of Elemental Energy pounced towards the donkey faced disciples of the Sky Sect, immediately flipping him over.


    Li Xie took a step forward, and stepped on the chest of the donkey-faced disciple from Void He Sect.


    The donkey-faced disciple grimaced in pain, his facial features scrunching together.


    Stop it! A donkey faced disciple of the Sky and Land sect shouted at the top of his lungs.


    In an instant, all of the disciples of the Void He Sect who were standing around Li Xie released their fists.


    They could only stare fiercely at Li Xie, and no one dared to act rashly.


    Please spare me! Big brother! The donkey-faced disciple from Kong He Sect forced a smile and begged for mercy.


    Just then, a man dressed in a long robe walked out from the Kong He Sect hurriedly and stood in front of Li Xie.


    The donkey faced disciple immediately pushed Li Xie''s leg away, then stood up and quickly ran behind the man in the robes.


    Li Xie bowed towards the man in long robes, thinking that he definitely had a high position in the Sky and Land Sect.


    The man in the robes looked up and down at Li Xie, and his eyes suddenly lit up.


    Vice Sect Leader, this brat is tired of living, he actually wants to barge into our sect! The donkey faced disciple from the Kong He Sect said to the man in the long robe.


    Kill him! Kill him!


    The disciples of the Void He Sect were in an uproar. Their eyes were all flashing with green light!


    He is an honored guest of our sect! Do all of you want to be beaten to death? A man wearing a long robe shouted with a cold expression.


    Ah!" Is he an honored guest? The donkey-faced Void He Sect disciple slowly walked to Li Xie''s side and kneeled down respectfully as he continued, "Just now, I was blind to not recognize Mt. Tai, I hope that Young Master would forgive me!


    Young master, spare me!


    The disciples of the other sects began begging for mercy as well, some of them were even trembling in fear.


    Forget it, forget it, Li Xie looked around, then retracted his gaze and looked at the man dressed in a long robe, and continued: Vice Sect Leader, quickly bring me to see your Sect Leader!


    Come with me, please! The robed man made a gesture of invitation, then strode forward.


    Before long, Li Xie was already standing in the Kong He Sect''s living room.


    The tables and chairs in the Congee Sect living room were all the latest models, and even the tea set came from the Lindu of the nation''s capital.


    Tang Zeng was a person who understood how to enjoy himself. Other than being dressed in extravagant clothing, he also took in several rooms full of beautiful concubines, which were known as Night Shengge.


    A man wearing a long robe stood at the door of the living room as he waited for Tang Zeng to arrive.


    Before Tang Zeng arrived, he did not even seem to chat much with his.


    Li Xie sat on the chair and sipped on his tea while waiting for Tang Zeng to appear.


    From Commander Ding''s mouth, he found out that Tang Zeng looked like a wild boar. Not only did he had thick and coarse skin, he also had a pair of vicious eyes.

 C111

    Compared to Tang Zeng, the Vice Sect Leader of the Kong He Sect looked a little more pleasing to the eye.


    If Li Xie didn''t know his identity in the Sky Sect, Li Xie would even think that he was not the same kind of person as Tang Zeng.


    Hahahaha! Sorry about that, I was dealing with a matter just now that made you wait a little longer, Young Master Li!


    Li Xie stood up and looked over to where the voice came from, only to see Tang Zeng pouncing towards him.


    Tang Zeng''s figure and demeanor were exactly the same as what Commander Ding said, so Li Xie had already made his preparations.


    After stepping into the living room, Tang Zeng made himself look slightly more calm, to show off his supreme status in the Air He Sect.


    Li Xie and Tang Zeng cupped their fists towards each other and bowed attentively.


    Tang Zeng turned his head to look at the man in long robes. The man in long robes understood what was going on and immediately walked to Tang Zeng''s side.


    Young Master Li, you have guts ah, most people I invited him to come here to have a chat with me, they always come up with all kinds of excuses, but they just didn''t dare to come here. Tang Zeng said with a smile.


    Well, in fact, there''s nothing to be afraid of. Li Xie said calmly.


    Haha! Let me introduce you, he is the vice Sect Leader of our Kong He Sect, his name is Jin Xiong! Tang Zeng looked at the man dressed in the long robe and said.


    So your surname is Jin. Nice to meet you! Li Xie cupped his hands and said to Jin Xiong.


    Young Master Li, you are too kind! The man wearing a long robe replied.


    Tang Zeng squinted his eyes and looked at Li Xie. He had heard quite a lot about Li Xie, and it filled him with curiosity.


    A few days ago, Ziyang City City was bustling with noise and excitement. Even though he was in the Sangzhou City, he had heard of the rumours.


    After the storm,''s Ziyang City was no longer Eastern, which was something he had never expected to happen.


    The Dongfang family was the top of the nine great families in East Qin Kingdom.


    Now that Li Xie had reached the Sangzhou City and the matter of the Dongfang family had passed, he naturally wanted to get to know Li Xie as much as possible.


    Long ago, Li Xie had fought with the Devil Monarch, and he had even survived.


    Young Master Li, if not for you, perhaps your Sangzhou City would have already been destroyed at the hands of your Devil Monarch! Tang Zeng sighed.


    It wasn''t because of me alone, but because of everyone working together. It touched the heavens, and caused the Devil Monarch to suffer the wrath of heaven. Li Xie said.


    Young Master Li, what you said was too good! Tang Zeng praised.


    Li Xie frowned. Tang Zeng kept on saying good words to him, did he have other intentions?


    Tang Zeng didn''t look like a good person, but he was still on guard.


    Commander Ding''s words had been echoing in Li Xie''s ears the entire time. He said that the person who killed Mu Yunji was Tang Zeng.


    Sect Leader Tang, shouldn''t we get to the point? Li Xie asked.


    Young Master Li, why am I confused by your words?! Tang Zeng extended his left hand and patted his head.


    Could it be that Sect Leader Tang really invited me here just to chat? Li Xie lowered his voice.


    Must there be some other purpose? Tang Zeng asked with interest.


    Li Xie smiled faintly. The more Tang Zeng said this, the more he felt like there was something wrong with Tang Zeng''s heart.


    Ever since Mu Yun Chu had been killed without knowing the reason why, the Sangzhou City would turn into an eventful time. The number of storms and rains there would only increase.


    A cat or dog coming out to stir up trouble was nothing out of the ordinary.


    Tang Zeng pointed, signalling Li Xie to sit down and chat slowly, thus Li Xie walked quickly to the side of the chair and sat down.


    Tang Zeng turned and walked to his seat while Jin Xiong sat on the chair to the right of Tang Zeng.


    Tang Zeng took a sip of his tea, and then placed the teacup down steadily.


    What Li Xie had said earlier was so straightforward and did not disturb his composure, and the expression in his eyes grew gentler instead.


    Sect Leader Tang, who do you think did this to City Lord Mu Yun? Li Xie asked tentatively.


    Although Sangzhou City is not as good as Zhong Yuan City and Ziyang City, there are still quite a few forces in Sangzhou City City, and I do not completely understand them all. Tang Zeng frowned and said.


    Mm, Sect Leader Tang, what is your impression of City Lord Mu Yun? Li Xie asked.


    If it were not for City Master Mu Yun, the Sangzhou City would not have been quiet for so long! Tang Zeng said.


    That''s right, now that Mu Yunji was no longer around, all the other experts raised their heads. Li Xie said worriedly.


    At this time, Tang Zeng''s right hand shook, and a clear flute appeared in his hand.


    Taking advantage of the long night, Tang Zeng felt his hands itching to play the flute.


    The sound of the flute was distant and continuous, causing the moonlight in the night sky to soften.


    Tang Zeng slowly played his flute because he really enjoyed this feeling.


    Li Xie was mesmerized by his words and he actually felt a little drowsy. He forced his eyes open and kept himself awake.


    But even so, Li Xie was no longer able to shake off the feeling of being top-heavy.


    Li Xie did his best to stand up, but he soon sat down on the chair in exhaustion.


    Gradually, Li Xie couldn''t even straighten his waist, and everything in front of his eyes became blurry.


    Although Li Xie was already vigilant enough, he still fell into Tang Zeng''s trap.


    Tang Zeng saw all of these, he put away his flute.


    Tang Zeng laughed coldly. The flute, combined with the taste of his secret brewing tea, was more than enough to make Li Xie surrender.


    If he did not hear the sound of the flute, his secret brewing tea would only be ordinary tea, thus Li Xie did not feel that something was amiss when he was tasting the tea.


    Tang Zeng stood up and then quickly walked to Li Xie''s side. He stretched out his hands and shook Li Xie''s shoulders with all his might, until Li Xie heavily closed his eyes.


    A few hours later, Li Xie woke up amidst the happy cries of the birds and beasts.


    At this moment, Li Xie''s head was still in a daze, trying to concentrate and expend more energy than usual.


    Li Xie looked around, he was trapped in a dilapidated wooden house.


    What is this place? Is he still in the faction? No one would answer Li Xie.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows, he was now very sure that Mu Yunji''s death was related to Tang Zeng.


    At this moment, scattered rays of sunlight entered the dilapidated woodshed, causing the interior of the woodshed to be much brighter.


    Li Xie looked at his own body. He was tied up by a dozen thick and sturdy iron chains, making it difficult for him to even move.


    Furthermore, the Nine Souls Sword on his back had already disappeared, and even the sword sheath had disappeared.


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth rose. He now had a way to know where this place was.


    Very quickly, Li Xie closed his eyes. He was attempting to contact the Nine Souls Sword with his mind.


    He and the Nine Souls Sword had risked their lives and risked their lives many times, and they had long since reached a mutual understanding. No matter where the Nine Souls Sword went, he would still be able to contact it.


    Creak ¡­


    Suddenly, the door to the dilapidated woodshed was pushed open, and intense sunlight poured in from the outside.


    When Li Xie opened his eyes, he immediately looked away until he had adapted to the intense sunlight.


    The sound of footsteps travelled into Li Xie''s ears. Just from the sound of the footsteps, it was a little light.


    Li Xie extended his gaze forward, and indeed, a woman stood in front of him.


    The woman was about thirty years old, with smooth skin that could be easily broken with a blow.


    Especially the woman''s pair of eyes; they were extremely charming, and left a deep impression on others.


    She circled Li Xie once, as she had heard many rumors regarding him.


    When she saw him today, the woman felt that some of the rumors might not be true.

 C112

    When the lady stopped and stood in front of Li Xie once again, she extended her hand out to wipe the dust on Li Xie''s forehead, her movements was extremely graceful.


    When she found out that Li Xie was imprisoned in the woodshed, she immediately ran over to take a look at Li Xie''s elegance.


    The woman secretly let out a long breath, stabilizing her emotions.


    Young Master Li, I have long heard of your great name! The woman said with a smile.


    Who are you? What is this place? Li Xie asked expressionlessly.


    You ask so many questions at once, I don''t know which to answer. The woman frowned and said.


    What is your relationship with Tang Zeng? Li Xie kept a straight face and continued to ask.


    The woman turned around with her back facing Li Xie. She just didn''t want Li Xie to get what he wanted.


    She hoped that Li Xie would stay here for a few more days, and then, she would slowly tell Li Xie about each and every one of them.


    She felt that Tang Zeng wouldn''t make his move that quickly, because Li Xie was part of his plan.


    I''m suddenly a little tired. I''ll come and see you later! The moment she finished speaking, the woman had already walked out of the woodshed, and the door of the woodshed was closed.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows, this was good too, he closed his eyes once again to contact the Nine Souls Sword.


    Not long later, Li Xie heard the voice of the Nine Souls Sword. It was very clear.


    Through the Nine Souls Sword s, Li Xie found out that he was currently in the Copper Ox Stronghold located in the Hundred Miles Mountain Range outside the Sangzhou City.


    Furthermore, the Great Master of the Bronze Cow Stronghold was the Sect Leader Tang Zeng of the Kong He Sect.


    The Copper Cow Stronghold and the Void He Sect had appeared at almost the same time, but no one would link these two sects together.


    Which faction was the righteous one in Biqian Kingdom, and the evil one in Copper Ox Stronghold?


    The Bronze Cow Stronghold was raiding and robbing in the northern part of the city outside of Sangzhou City City.


    When Mu Yun Chu was still alive, he had already been preparing to send people to attack the Bronze Cow Village. Now that Mu Yun Chu had already left, the Copper Cow Village could be considered as having escaped disaster.


    Just at the Black Wind Hall in the Bronze Cow Village, Tang Zeng and Wang Qing were admiring the Nine Souls Sword, a greedy light flickering in their eyes.


    Nine Souls Sword was a Heaven Ranked Weapon, how could they not see through it as Martial Cultivator?


    Now that the Nine Souls Sword was in Tang Zeng''s hands, Tang Zeng really wanted to take it for his own, but he understood that it was still not the time.


    Only after Li Xie was killed would the Nine Souls Sword choose the next master.


    Tang Zeng was temporarily not prepared to kill him. He still had to make use of Li Xie to let the water in his Sangzhou City become more and more murky so that he could take advantage of the situation.


    The Void Sect and the Copper Ox Stronghold were not enough to satisfy Tang Zeng''s ambitions. He wanted to obtain the entire Sangzhou City.


    Only when he possessed the entire Sangzhou City would he be able to further strengthen his own power.


    The current East Qin Kingdom royal family was no longer the previous imperial family of the East Qin Kingdom, his control was no longer as strong as before, he thought he could give it a try!


    Tang Zeng placed the Nine Souls Sword on the weapon rack, and then looked at Wang Qing.


    Wang Qing bowed, his ears perked up as he listened to Tang Zeng''s orders.


    Tang Zeng extended his left hand and patted Wang Qing''s shoulder. Wang Qing followed by his side, and was already quite old.


    Wang Qing, in the next few days, you have to let the disciples of the Copper Ox Village rob your homes, so that you can lure Ding Dian out of Sangzhou City. Tang Zeng said.


    The Ding Dian that Tang Zeng spoke of was precisely Commander Ding of City Lord''s Mansion. Now that Mu Yun Chu is dead, he anxiously hoped to quickly settle the matter of Ding Dian.


    As long as Ding Dian left the Sangzhou City, Tang Zeng would immediately lead the disciples of the Sky and Land Sect to attack the City Lord''s Mansion, establishing his position in the Sangzhou City in one fell swoop.


    When the time is ripe, Tang Zeng will send someone to ask the Lord of East Qin Kingdom to appoint him as the new City Lord.


    When he thought about the position of the City Lord of the Sangzhou City, the corners of Tang Zeng''s mouth rose into a sinister smile.


    Yes, Boss, I will definitely complete the task you assigned me. Wang Qing said forcefully.


    Tang Zeng nodded his head, with today''s scenery in the Bronze Cow Village, Wang Qing had contributed greatly.


    Great Master, why don''t you let me lead the disciples of the Copper Ox Village to rob a house?


    Just from the voice, Tang Zeng and Wang Qing knew who it was.


    In the blink of an eye, Hua Rufeng stood next to Tang Zeng and bowed to him.


    Tang Zeng squinted as he glanced at Hua Rui''s exquisite figure. She was beyond beautiful, and he couldn''t help but swallow his saliva.


    He had wanted to bring Hua Rufeng into his room and enjoy her day and night, but Hua Rufeng pretended that she didn''t know anything.


    Tang Zeng was almost unable to hold it in. If it wasn''t for the fact that it was daytime, Tang Zeng might have already threw Hua Ru Feng onto the ground, with her hands and feet.


    Tang Zeng retracted his train of thoughts, and tried his best to remind himself that he was the Great Master of the Bronze Cow Village! Not an animal!


    Ru Feng, are you trying to compete with me? Wang Qing''s mouth twitched as he asked.


    Of course not, I just have a little bit of selfishness, not for the credit, but for a person. Hua Rufeng gazed at Wang Qing and said gently.


    Oh, for one person? Who is he? Wang Qing asked with great interest.


    He is Li Xie, I want the Great Master to hand him over to me to handle. The moment she said that, Hua Rufeng naturally looked at Tang Zeng.


    No! Ru Feng, you better give up on this idea of yours! Tang Zeng''s face darkened as he said.


    Why not? Hua Rufeng asked. It was rare for her to have her own thoughts, so she would not give up so easily.


    Ah!" I''ll go and chop Li Xie in half right now! Before he finished his sentence, Tang Zheng had already left the Black Wind Palace and was walking towards the woodshed.


    Wang Qing looked at Hua Rufeng, and laughed coldly after. He was waiting to see how Li Xie''s head would move, and Hua Rufeng''s heart-wrenching complexion.


    In Wang Qing''s eyes, other than Jin Xiong, the only one who would be able to compete with him in the future as a vice city lord of Sangzhou City was her, Hua Rufeng.


    If he could see Hua Feng''s ashen heart, he would be happier than anyone else!


    Bam! Bam!


    With a loud bang, the woodshed''s door was instantly kicked into smithereens!


    Immediately after, Tang Zeng aggressively rushed over to Li Xie from outside the woodshed. He stared at Li Xie with his fierce eyes, filled with killing intent.


    He never thought that Li Xie would still be able to affect his mood even though he was already a prisoner. It seemed that he could not continue to keep Li Xie alive, even if he had destroyed his original plan.


    Tang Zeng''s mouth twitched, and he immediately took out a sharp dagger from his sleeve.


    The blade glowed with a cold light, and the smell of blood was enough to prove that this blade had killed quite a few people.


    Great Master!


    Tang Zeng turned around and saw that Hua Rufeng and Wang Qing were already standing at the entrance of the woodshed.


    Hua Rufeng and Wang Qing''s expressions were different. Hua Rufeng''s face was filled with worry while Wang Qing''s face was filled with anticipation.


    How could Tang Zeng not see through Wang Qing''s thoughts? It was just that at this moment, he could only let Wang Qing have her way.


    Tang Zeng retracted his gaze and retracted it. Once again, it landed on Li Xie''s body, brimming with killing intent.


    Hiss!


    Tang Zeng placed the short blade on Li Xie''s neck. As he expected, he did not see a trace of panic in Li Xie''s eyes.


    Li Xie looked at him calmly. At that moment, it was him who wanted to chat with Tang Zeng.


    Sect Leader Tang, I never thought you would have so many identities! Li Xie sighed.


    Tang Zeng raised his eyebrows, thinking that Li Xie should already know where this place was.


    Tang Zeng turned his head and fiercely glared at Hua Rufeng, but Hua Rufeng did not have a single trace of fear on her face.


    Great Master, just now, Young Master Li and I did not say anything. Hua Rufeng said.

 C113

    Wang Qing glared at Hua Rufeng with his face turned to the side. He wished that he could immediately chop Hua Rufeng into pieces and smash her to the ground.


    Wang Qing understood clearly in his heart that if he were to miss this opportunity, he would most likely die at the hands of Hua Rufeng.


    Humph! Hua Rufeng, you have betrayed the Copper Oxen Village, you must die! Wang Qing shouted.


    Wang Qing! Since even the Great Master didn''t say anything, what qualifications do you have to decide my fate? Have you been harboring the idea of becoming the head for a long time now? Hua Rufeng coldly said as she looked at Wang Qing.


    You... You... For a moment, Wang Qing didn''t know what to say.


    Stop being so noisy, I''ll deal with you guys after I take care of Li Xie! As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Zeng''s gaze once again fell on Li Xie''s body.


    Now that the Nine Souls Sword was no longer by Li Xie''s side, Tang Zeng felt that Li Xie was just a toothless tiger.


    What''s the use of tigers without teeth? He could only wait for death!


    He would slash at Li Xie, and then wait to hear Li Xie''s heart-tearing and lung-splitting screams; they would definitely be pleasant to hear.


    Sect Leader Tang, was the City Lord Mu Yun killed by you? Li Xie asked harshly.


    Li Xie, oh Li Xie, what''s the use of you worrying about all this before you die? You and Mu Yunji aren''t related in any way! Tang Zeng asked.


    Young Master Li, I can prove that the City Lord Mu Yun was not killed by our Great Master! Hua Rufeng said to Li Xie.


    Li Xie stared fixedly into Hua Rufeng''s eyes, her expression very calm, as if she was not intentionally trying to justify Tang Zeng''s actions.


    If Mu Yunji was really not killed by Tang Zeng, then who else could it be?


    Heh, although I didn''t kill City Lord Mu Yun, I still have an obligation to send you to accompany City Lord Mu Yun! So you can ask who killed him! The corner of Tang Zeng''s mouth twitched, and he immediately swiped the dagger towards Li Xie''s neck.


    Bang!


    Tang Zeng was dumbstruck. The dozens of thick and strong iron chains that bound Li Xie had already broken down, and Li Xie had raised his left hand to grab his wrist.


    When... When...


    In the blink of an eye, all of the broken iron chains fell onto the floor of the woodshed, stirring up a cloud of dust.


    Li Xie raised his leg and kicked Tang Zeng and the short blade in his hand to the ground together, they were as fast as the wind.


    Tang Zeng used his left hand to support himself as he stood up immediately and sneered at Li Xie, then shook off the dust on his body.


    He had already recovered his composure, this place was the Bronze Cow Village, it was Tang Zeng''s territory!


    Even if Li Xie could break free from the shackles of the iron chains, so what?!


    Sect Leader Tang, this place is too small, so we can''t display it. Why don''t we go outside and have a fight in the courtyard? Li Xie said.


    Yes, that''s fine! Tang Zeng turned around and walked out with an imposing manner like a rainbow.


    Hua Rufeng and Wang Qing all stood to the side, allowing Tang Zeng to pass through between them.


    When Li Xie walked to the courtyard outside the woodshed, he was already surrounded by the disciples of the Copper Cow Village.


    All of them stared at Li Xie fiercely, wishing that they could rush up and bite him.


    But without Tang Zeng''s order, they couldn''t act rashly.


    Tang Zeng raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Xie. Even though Li Xie''s reputation was above his, his Martial Cultivator Realm was above Li Xie''s.


    From the sound of Li Xie''s footsteps, he could already tell that Li Xie''s Martial Cultivator was at the lower level of the Origin Realm and he was already at the upper level of the Profound Realm.


    Tang Zeng injected a gust of Elemental Energy into the dagger, causing the edge of the dagger to become even sharper.


    He would kill Li Xie in front of Hua Rufeng with his own hands, and hang Li Xie''s head in front of the Sangzhou City''s city gate for the common folk to discuss after the meal!


    At that time, the citizens of Sangzhou City would definitely be anxious, and this was the chance for him.


    Tang Zeng walked towards Li Xie step by step, the Elemental Energy moving back and forth inside his body.


    At this moment, Li Xie was already a corpse in his eyes!


    Boom!


    Tang Zeng rose into the air and took the chance to swing his dagger at Li Xie.


    Li Xie''s feet pushed off the ground. Even though he dodged the blade''s edge, the ground that he stood on just now was already broken beyond repair.


    Tang Zeng''s figure flashed and he instantly leaped into the air, arriving in front of Li Xie, and smashed the dagger into Li Xie''s chest.


    Tang Zeng was extremely excited, he could not wait to see Li Xie''s bloodied appearance.


    Hiss! Hiss!


    The short blade in Tang Zeng''s hand was like the sharp claws and teeth of a fierce tiger, unceasingly hitting Li Xie''s vital parts, and getting more and more ferocious!


    Hua Rufeng who was standing at the side frowned. Li Xie did not have a weapon in his hand, and facing Tang Zeng''s attack, he could only run for his life.


    On one side was the Tang Zeng who had helped her, and on the other was the man she was interested in.


    She clenched her fist. She wanted to find a chance to help Li Xie leave the Bronze Cow Village.


    Right now, she could only hope that she could see Tang Zeng''s weakness. Only then would she be able to help Tang Zeng in time.


    Li Xie, hurry up and kowtow and beg for forgiveness. You don''t have a weapon in your hand, you''re not even as good as an embroidered pillow! Tang Zeng sneered and said.


    Although I don''t have a sword in my hand, there is a sword in my heart! Li Xie calmly replied.


    Hehe! I didn''t expect you to be such a prankster! Having a sword in his heart was just a lie! Tang Zeng ridiculed.


    Oh, now I want to show you the truth of having a sword in your heart! With a tap of his feet, Li Xie instantly landed on the roof behind him.


    Tang Zeng rose up from the ground, and in the blink of an eye, stood beside Li Xie.


    His eyes were wide open, he wanted to see what tricks Li Xie could pull.


    "Whiz!"


    Following the roars of the Sword Qi, the Nine Souls Sword soared through the skies and returned to Li Xie''s hands.


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth raised. At this moment, it was as if he and Nine Souls Sword had reunited after a long separation from each other.


    If it wasn''t for Tang Zeng who was still waiting for him to settle the matter, he was prepared to have a long conversation while sitting on his knees with the Nine Souls Sword.


    Tang Zeng looked at the Nine Souls Sword in Li Xie''s hands in disbelief. He had once carefully admired the Nine Souls Sword, and he could be sure that the Nine Souls Sword in Li Xie''s hands right now was real.


    What Tang Zeng did not expect happened again, Li Xie actually put the Nine Souls Sword back into the sword sheath.


    It was clear that he was not prepared to release the Nine Souls Sword, and would still choose to fight him barehanded.


    Li Xie, you are courting death! Tang Zeng rushed towards Li Xie.


    "Whiz!"


    The short blade in Tang Zeng''s hand slid down Li Xie''s face, and Li Xie easily dodged it.


    The corner of Tang Zeng''s mouth twitched, and with a flip of his hand, he swung the short blade towards Li Xie''s chest with a speed as fast as the wind.


    Li Xie turned around and appeared behind Tang Zeng, allowing his attack to miss again.


    Tang Zeng clenched his teeth and turned to glare at Li Xie, wishing that he could tear him to shreds!


    Ah!


    Tang Zeng roared out, and the huge Copper Ox Stronghold shook along with it.


    He had already gathered all the Elemental Energy in his body together and rushed towards Li Xie without hesitation.


    Tang Zeng''s eyes had already ignited with flames, which was enough to burn Li Xie to a crisp.


    Boom!


    The moment the short blade in Tang Zeng''s hand fell, the house under Li Xie''s feet instantly crumbled.


    Li Xie dodged instantly, otherwise, he would be drowned by the collapsing house.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    Tang Zeng raised his short blade and once again rushed in front of Li Xie. The blade in his hand tore through the air and ignited sparks after sparks of fire.


    Go to hell!


    Tang Zeng tightly gripped the handle of the short blade with both of his hands, and fiercely slashed towards Li Xie''s head.


    Under Tang Zeng''s willpower, the surrounding rocks flew up, and floated around Li Xie to surround him.


    The corner of Tang Zeng''s mouth twitched. What he did this time was to completely send Li Xie to the west.


    Boom ¡­


    At the moment of life and death, Li Xie glared and countless Sword Qi s charged out of his eyes like wolves and tigers!


    Sou sou!

 C114

    Under the impact of the Sword Qi, all the stones floating beside Li Xie turned into ashes.


    Immediately after, the Sword Qi pounced towards Tang Zeng, causing Tang Zeng to immediately retreat in a panic, a sense of foreboding filled his heart.


    At this time, beside Tang Zeng''s ears, he could only hear the furious roars of the Sword Qi.


    Tang Zeng tried his best to calm himself down, but things went against his wishes.


    Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!


    One after another of the Sword Qi landed on Tang Zeng''s body, instantly tearing open the skin and flesh, Tang Zeng tightly knitted his brows.


    His breathing became more hurried, and Tang Zeng could even hear the sound of his own heartbeat.


    He was already regretting it endlessly, only now did he understand that he should not have provoked Li Xie, and now that he was regretting it no longer.


    He should perhaps pull Li Xie over, even though his hopes were slim. If he could make a comeback, he would definitely give it a try.


    The Great Master was in trouble! Now is the time for us to show our loyalty. Everyone, follow me! Wang Qing grabbed his blade and rushed towards Li Xie.


    The other disciples of the Bronze Cow Stronghold raised the sabers in their hands and rushed forward along with Wang Qing.


    In an instant, the sounds of people shouting and fighting became one with the whistling sounds of the Sword Qi!


    Tang Zeng turned his head to look at them, and after a few consecutive turns, he arrived behind the disciples of the Copper Cow Village and started gasping for breath.


    Just then, it was really too dangerous, he was almost pierced in the heart by the Sword Qi''s chaotic arrows.


    Fortunately it was only full of scars, Tang Zeng extended his left hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead.


    All of a sudden, Tang Zeng rolled his eyes. As the saying goes, there was nothing to be afraid of, after making up his mind, he immediately walked towards the back door of the Copper Cow stronghold.


    Regardless of whether it was the lives of the disciples of the Copper Ox Village or the entire Copper Ox Village, he had abandoned them all.


    Ah ¡­


    When Tang Zeng heard the miserable cries of the disciples of the Copper Cow Village, he quickened his pace.


    Waves of hatred surged in Tang Zeng''s heart. He swore that as long as he was still alive, he would definitely make a comeback!


    Several hours later, the night of the Sangzhou City arrived and the streets and alleys gradually sank into tranquility.


    The entire atmosphere of the Sangzhou City was still immersed in grief, and even the lights of the entire city were dim.


    Seizing the chance, Tang Zeng tiredly returned to the air sect north of the Sangzhou City City.


    However, the Void He Sect seemed to have been emptied out, there were no servants or even a single disciple.


    As Tang Zeng walked between the courtyards of the Void He Sect, he could not help but shiver as he felt the chilly wind.


    At this moment, the Void He Sect was a foreign place to him.


    Tang Zeng stopped in his tracks to try and calm down his emotions, but the more it was like that, the more unsettled he became.


    Tang Zeng breathed in deeply, he could once again hear his own heartbeat.


    He had thought that everything was under control, but that was not the case.


    No one could tell him what had happened to the Sky Sect during his stay in the Copper Ox Camp.


    Suddenly, Tang Zeng felt footsteps behind him, he turned his head to look, only to see an empty space behind him.


    Unknowingly, his forehead was covered in sweat.


    Sect Leader, you''re finally back!


    A familiar voice entered Tang Zeng''s ears, he couldn''t help but be overjoyed.


    Tang Zeng immediately turned and looked towards the direction of the voice. Jin Xiong was standing opposite of him.


    Jin Xiong looked exhausted. His eyes were filled with empty emotion.


    Jin Xiong walked towards Tang Zeng step by step. His footsteps were light, but the sound of his footsteps still reverberated in the air above the Kong He Sect.


    After a while, Jin Xiong stood in front of Tang Zeng, and then bowed to him, just like before.


    Jin Xiong, what happened here? Tang Zeng asked worriedly.


    Sect Leader, in just two hours, a group of black-clothed men fiercely rushed in, we were caught off guard and slaughtered. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and hid in the secret passage, thus taking back my life. Jin Xiong said.


    Ah!" Where did the disciples'' corpses go? Tang Jia asked.


    Maybe they dragged him away. Jin Xiong frowned and said.


    Damn it! How could this happen! Tang Zeng clenched his fists and said.


    Jin Xiong lowered his head. This night was a nightmare for the Void Sect.


    However, this nightmare would soon end. Thinking of this, Jin Xiong raised his head.


    Tang Zeng extended his left hand and patted Jin Xiong''s shoulder. At that moment, the only one he could trust was Jin Xiong.


    He was already unable to return to the Bronze Cow Village, and the Void He Sect had already become empty air. For a moment, Tang Zeng did not know how to continue.


    Tang Zeng raised his head and looked at the night sky. In his eyes, the night sky was very dark and was about to collapse.


    Sect Leader, what should we do next? Jin Xiong asked.


    Don''t worry, let me think about it. As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Zeng slowly closed his eyes.


    Looking at the entire Sangzhou City, Tang Zeng had created the Void He Sect that rose the fastest, and its reputation had grown gradually.


    Unfortunately, as if he had fallen in one night, Tang Zeng did not expect it.


    Swoosh!


    Tang Zeng immediately opened his eyes, he lowered his head and saw the dagger that had pierced his chest in Jin Xiong''s hands.


    In an instant, Tang Zeng''s eye sockets were already filled with dense bloodstains.


    He raised his head and looked at Jin Xiong. At this moment, Jin Xiong''s eyes were bone-chilling cold.


    He raised his trembling finger and pointed it at Jin Xiong, and then used his right hand to push Jin Xiong away.


    Jin Xiong only took a small step back, he sneered at Tang Zeng, he had never seen Tang Zeng like this before.


    Sect Leader, since you still do not know how to proceed, I have shown you a clear path. Jin Xiong said.


    Could it be that the ''bright road'' you speak of is death? Tang Zeng frowned and asked.


    That''s right! With that said, Jin Xiong threw out his left hand and the dagger that pierced Tang Zeng''s chest was instantly pulled out.


    In the blink of an eye, Jin Xiong took out his red dagger and gripped it tightly in his hand.


    Who sent you to kill me? Tang Zeng asked hoarsely.


    When you arrive at the hall, the King of Hell might tell you that you don''t need to be in such a hurry. Jin Xiong raised his eyebrows and said.


    Ah!" I''m going to kill you! Tang Zheng quickly dashed towards Jin Xiong.


    Jin Xiong laughed coldly, he once again stabbed his dagger into Tang Zeng''s chest.


    Jin Xiong then raised his leg and kicked Tang Zeng to the ground, he looked at Tang Zeng''s sorry state, and the corner of his mouth raised up.


    Jin Xiong walked step by step towards Tang Zeng, and his steps became more relaxed.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    Jin Xiong bent his waist and used his dagger to cut Tang Zeng''s neck, and then the dagger in his hand disappeared without a trace.


    Jin Xiong heaved a sigh of relief. In a few days, he would be able to find his true identity.


    Several hours later, the sky had already lit up, and rumors of the Void He Sect had already spread far and wide throughout the Sangzhou City.


    Tang Zeng''s body had been decapitated, and it was all too sudden for the citizens of Sangzhou City.


    And who was the person who killed Tang Zeng? There is no definitive conclusion.


    These two days, Sangzhou City were not peaceful and the citizens of Sangzhou City were all worried.


    In the study on Sangzhou City and City Lord''s Mansion, Li Xie was discussing some things with Ding Dian.


    The Copper Ox Stronghold had already been razed to the ground, and many disciples of the Copper Ox Stronghold were still imprisoned in the dungeon.


    When Li Xie rushed back to the Sangzhou City from the Copper Oxen Village last night, he had already heard that Tang Zeng had been killed.


    Li Xie couldn''t figure out who killed Tang Zeng, and it was even in the courtyard of the Void He Sect.

 C115

    Li Xie felt that Ding Dian must have known more about it, hence he found Ding Dian early in the morning.


    Ding Dian stood at the entrance of the study room and looked into the distance. Like the people of Sangzhou City, he was extremely worried, as many things had already exceeded his expectations.


    If City Master Mu Yun was still alive, perhaps his Sangzhou City would still be the same calm one from before.


    It was a pity that the City Lord Mu Yun was no longer around. Everything had to be settled by themselves.


    Ding Dian could not help but sigh. He did not know how long he could last, or how long he could live.


    Perhaps someone was already preparing to make a move on him, but he didn''t know who it was yet.


    Commander Ding, do you know who killed Tang Zeng? Li Xie asked.


    Ding Dian turned and looked at Li Xie. He seemed to see a ray of light in the rainy weather.


    As long as Li Xie was there, perhaps he could turn the situation around!


    In all of the Young Master Li, the person who killed Tang Zeng was most likely the Void He Sect''s Vice Sect Leader, Jin Xiong! Ding Dian said with his eyes wide open.


    Jin Xiong? I happened to have met him once before. He didn''t seem to be that kind of cruel and merciless person. Li Xie supported his cheek, and said.


    Young Master Li, ah, I suspect that Jin Xiong is a subordinate of the Iron Blade Sect''s Sect Leader in the west of the city. Ding Dian said.


    Iron Blade Sect? Like Kong He Sect, Li Xie knew very little about Iron Blade Sect.


    Not long after Mu Yun City Master''s fall, wind and rain came, and the peace of Sangzhou City was gone forever?


    Li Xie secretly sighed, he would try to let the wind and rain of Sangzhou City not hurt the innocent.


    Commander Ding, please tell me about the Iron Blade Sect. Li Xie said as he retracted his thoughts and looked at Ding Dian.


    Yes, Iron Blade Sect has hundreds of years of history in the Sangzhou City. Ding Dian said.


    Li Xie stood at the side and listened attentively. The water in the Sangzhou City was not shallow at all, and there were many large and small forces hiding in the water.


    The current Sect Leader of Iron Blade Sect was called Duan Jun, and he was around 40 years old.


    Under the control of the Broken Army, Iron Blade Sect became the strongest sect with the most solid Sangzhou City. Many young Martial Cultivator s wanted to become their disciples.


    A while ago, when Sangzhou City was rising, the first one to challenge them was Duan Jun.


    Although Broken Army had lost to the strong side and their reputation had been tarnished, the Iron Blade Sect did not fall apart because of this.


    After the haze of Devil Clan faded, Iron Blade Sect gradually returned to its former glorious state.


    It seems like I have to go meet the Iron Blade Sect for a while. Li Xie said in high spirits.


    As long as he had a direction, Li Xie felt that the next thing to do was to go with the flow.


    Whether it was the mountains of blades and seas of flames in front of him, or the ground full of traps, Li Xie would not even bat an eye.


    There''s no need, Young Master Li, you can just stay inside your City Lord''s Mansion to rest. It''s better if I personally make a trip to Iron Blade Sect. Ding Dian said.


    Did Commander Ding think I couldn''t handle this matter well? Li Xie asked.


    Young Master Li, you just returned from the Copper Oxen Stronghold so you must have consumed a lot of Elemental Energy, so you will definitely need some time to recover. Ding Dian explained.


    Well, I will wait for news from Commander Ding! Li Xie cupped his hands and said.


    After leaving the study, Li Xie walked straight towards the southern courtyard where the City Lord''s Mansion was located, his steps sometimes light and sometimes slow.


    At this moment, Sun Pei and Hua Rufeng were chatting with each other in the pavilion in the southern courtyard.


    After knowing Hua Rufeng''s identity, Sun Pei was extremely curious about her.


    Furthermore, Sun Pei had even planned to find out more about the Sangzhou City from Hua Rufeng. She felt that the water in the Sangzhou City might be even more turbid than what she had seen.


    Hua Rufeng was worried that she could not find anyone to talk to. She and Sun Pei met each other instantly and they chatted happily.


    While talking, Hua Rufeng told Sun Pei many things about her and the Sangzhou City.


    Following the sound of Li Xie''s footsteps, Sun Pei and Hua Rufeng both looked towards the source of the sound.


    If not for Li Xie, Hua Rufeng would never have been able to enter the City Lord''s Mansion.


    Now that the Bronze Cow Village was gone, Li Xie wanted to give Hua Rufeng a chance to start anew.


    Brother Li, you''re here! Sun Pei said, her voice was very soft.


    Well, I wanted to go to the Iron Blade Gate, and Dante commanded him that he thought it would be more appropriate for him to go himself. Li Xie said as he stood in front of Sun Pei.


    Iron Blade Sect? Could it be that the Iron Blade Sect was ready to cause trouble? Sun Pei said.


    Maybe not, but Commander Ding suspected that Jin Xiong was a follower of the Iron Blade Sect''s Sect Leader. Li Xie said.


    That was possible. Hua Rufeng said.


    Li Xie and Sun Pei looked at Hua Rufeng at the same time. Hua Rufeng was certainly aware of the many things regarding Iron Blade Sect.


    Furthermore, Hua Rufeng had stayed in the Copper Ox Stronghold for a long time. She was more clear than Ding Dian on whether Tang Zeng and Iron Blade Sect had any grudges or not.


    In the blink of an eye, several hours had passed by, and the night of the Sangzhou City had arrived.


    Li Xie paced around the entrance of the City Lord''s Mansion. Ever since Ding Dian had left for the Iron Blade Sect in the afternoon, he had not returned.


    Li Xie had already sent members of the City Lord''s Mansion to investigate the situation in the Iron Blade Sect, but to no avail.


    Could it be that Ding Dian had met with mishap in Iron Blade Sect? No one answered Li Xie.


    If anything happened to Ding Dian, his Sangzhou City would become a mess. The people who suffered the most were still his Sangzhou City.


    Li Xie stopped and raised his head to look at the night sky.


    Just then, a City Lord''s Mansion soldier covered in blood ran to the City Lord''s Mansion''s entrance.


    When Li Xie quickly ran to the side of the City Lord''s Mansion Warrior who was covered in blood, whose body was already drenched in blood, he saw that he was already lying on the ground.


    Li Xie squatted beside the City Lord''s Mansion Warrior whose entire body was covered in blood. Fortunately, the City Lord''s Mansion Warrior whose body was covered in blood still had some breath of life left.


    Young Master Li, you must avenge Commander Ding. It''s ¡­ It was Duan Jun who killed Ding...


    The City Lord''s Mansion soldier who was covered in blood didn''t even have time to finish his sentence before he died.


    Li Xie extended his left hand and closed the eyes of the blood covered City Lord''s Mansion Warrior, then he stood up with a stern expression.


    The thing that he was most worried about had still happened. Ding Dian had died in Iron Blade Sect.


    Li Xie clenched his fists. Iron Blade Sect had definitely set up a trap for him to challenge, but he would not retreat a single step.


    Who exactly was the Sect Leader of the Iron Blade Sect that broke the army? He had seen it before, who dared to brazenly kill Ding Dian.


    Li Xie turned around and quickly walked toward the west side of the Sangzhou City. The headquarters of Iron Blade Sect was located in the west side of the city.


    Before long, when Li Xie stopped in his tracks, the entrance of Iron Blade Sect was already right in front of him.


    The courtyard of Iron Blade Sect was very large, and in the entire Sangzhou City, it was only larger than the courtyard of Iron Blade Sect.


    A few big burly disciples of the Iron Blade Sect stood at the entrance of the gate, looking at Li Xie with interest.


    In these few days, there were people who would frequently visit their Sect Leader, and even though the doorstep was about to be stepped on, not everyone was able to see their Sect Leader.


    Li Xie bowed towards those Iron Blade Sect disciples. He would not vent his anger on them.


    I am here to visit your Broken Sect Leader! Li Xie said loudly.


    Who are you? Why have you come to visit our Sect Leader?


    My name is Li Xie, I am a friend of City Lord''s Mansion Commander Ding. Li Xie said.


    The disciples guarding the entrance of the Iron Blade Sect exchanged glances. They had heard of the name Li Xie.


    Are you really Li Xie? One of the Iron Blade Sect disciples asked.

 C116

    At this time, the other Iron Blade Sect disciples were also staring at Li Xie with rapt attention, and not the look of disdain from before.


    Of course, it was the real deal! Li Xie replied calmly.


    Quick, invite Young Master Li in!


    Yes! Sect Leader!


    After a moment, Li Xie was in the living room of Iron Blade Sect.


    The atmosphere in the Iron Blade Sect was very calm, as if nothing had happened today.


    The Iron Blade Sect disciples were moving back and forth in an orderly manner while the servants and maids were busy with their own matters.


    Every place in the Iron Blade Sect was clean and impressive.


    Compared to the Kong He Faction, the Iron Blade Sect''s deep heritage was not as ostentatious as the Kong He Faction''s. Instead, they were very reserved.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows, the Iron Blade Sect in front of him was very different from what he had imagined.


    He wondered if he had walked into the wrong place. He raised his left hand and pinched his right arm. Pain spread through his body in an instant.


    Only then did he realize that everything before him was real, not a dream.


    He really was in Iron Blade Sect. In his imagination, Iron Blade Sect should be an impetuous sect.


    Sorry to keep you waiting.


    Li Xie immediately turned around and looked forward. Five steps away from him, there was a current of air moving.


    As the surging air gradually returned to its calm state, the broken army suddenly appeared in his line of sight.


    Duan Jun was dressed in coarse clothes, completely not as extravagant as Tang Zeng, and was just like a normal commoner.


    The last time he saw Li Xie in the courtyard of the City Lord''s Mansion, he could still remember that Li Xie had already forgotten about him.


    Thinking back to the fight between Li Xie and the male side, he could still vividly remember it.


    The other side, such a proud and arrogant person, had actually been defeated without any trace of temper. Everyone on the scene was very surprised.


    Li Xie cupped his fists towards Duan Jun and bowed. Duan Jun''s gaze was surprisingly gentle, giving him a sense of belonging.


    Was it because Duan Jun had hidden his strength too deeply, or was this kind of gaze from the beginning? Li Xie still couldn''t figure it out.


    Duan Jun immediately replied with a bow. Just now, he had felt a little unsettled, because there was an esteemed guest visiting.


    It was not a special day, but guests were coming to visit one after another.


    Not long ago, Ding Dian had paid him a visit and told him some empty and unoccupied stories.


    It had been a while since their Iron Blade Sect had such a lively atmosphere, and it was still quite awkward for them to get used to it.


    Young Master Li, what are you looking for me for? Duan Jun asked politely.


    I came from the City Lord''s Mansion, could it be that Sect Leader Duan still doesn''t know my goal? Li Xie asked.


    Hm? Young Master Li, you have something to say, let''s get straight to the point! Duan Jun said.


    Sect Leader Duan, why did you kill Commander Ding? As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xie''s expression immediately darkened.


    Duan Jun looked at Li Xie in disbelief, wondering if he had heard wrongly.


    He had indeed come to visit earlier, and had left shortly after Dante had finished his business.


    Young Master Li, I have no enmity with Commander Ding, why should I kill him? Duan Jun asked.


    Ever since Commander Ding came here to visit you, he never returned to the City Lord''s Mansion. Li Xie said.


    Oh, I see. But I really didn''t kill him. As for where he is now, I don''t know. Duan Jun frowned as he spoke.


    "Whiz!"


    At this time, a cold arrow flew towards Li Xie''s back, with the momentum of a hot knife through butter.


    Li Xie anxiously turned his body, and the ice arrow brushed past his shoulder.


    Li Xie turned his head and glared at Duan Jun, the anger in his eyes burning.


    Bang!


    Following the loud noise, a Martial Cultivator with a large blade on his back descended from the sky.


    After waiting for the Martial Cultivator with the big blade to stabilize his legs, he stared fiercely at Li Xie like a fierce tiger.


    When Li Xie stepped into Iron Blade Sect, he had already been observing Li Xie from the side.


    Martial Cultivator who carried a big blade on his shoulder bowed towards Duan Jun, even though Duan Jun''s expression was very gloomy.


    He Dong, quickly withdraw! Duan Jun looked at Martial Cultivator who was wielding the big blade and shouted.


    He Dong had quite a high position in the Iron Blade Sect. He was the Third Master of the Iron Blade Sect.


    Sect Leader, this brat is obviously here to die, why don''t we send him off! He Dong straightened his back and said.


    He Dong, what nonsense are you spouting! Duan Jun shouted in anger.


    Sect Leader, what happened to you today? We should be willing to take the responsibility. Since we''ve already killed Ding Dian, there''s no harm in killing one more person! He Dong said.


    Sect Leader Duan, could everything you said to me earlier be false? Li Xie stared at Duan Jun and asked.


    Li Xie! Your opponent is me, you aren''t worthy enough for us Sect Leader to personally do it, hurry up and come out to die! He Dong roared.


    Li Xie unsheathed his sword and took the chance to quickly walk in front of He Dong like a gust of wind.


    Tonight, he would personally take Li Xie''s head off, and from there, his name would spread far and wide in the Sangzhou City.


    "He Dong, are you trying to consign us to eternal damnation?!" Duan Jun stood at the doorway of the living room, glaring at He Dong.


    Sect Leader, I am thinking for you and Iron Blade Sect! He Dong replied.


    Bastard, whose subordinate are you? Duan Jun asked in a stern voice.


    I was born a member of the Iron Blade Sect, and will die a ghost of the Iron Blade Sect! Right after he finished speaking, He Dong swung the blade in his hand at Li Xie.


    In an instant, the calm Iron Blade Gate was broken. The sounds of swords and sabers filled the dark sky above Iron Blade Gate.


    At the same time, the living room was filled with Iron Blade disciples.


    Duan Jun frowned. He couldn''t let this situation continue to worsen.


    Capture him! Duan Jun swept his eyes over the surrounding Iron Blade Sect disciples and roared.


    Yes! Sect Leader!


    Ah!" Sect Leader, are you trying to silence me by killing me? He asked Duan Jun angrily.


    You bastard! Don''t even think about tarnishing my and Iron Blade Sect''s reputation! Duan Jun replied.


    Heh! Come out, brothers!


    Along with the furious roar of He Dong, hundreds of Iron Blade Sect''s disciples who had obeyed him rushed out from the dark corner, their hands raised bright blades in the air.


    Clang! Clang!


    The two groups of Iron Blade Sect disciples engaged in a fierce battle. The sound of their bodies being torn apart rang out one after another.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows, he did not know who he should believe in now.


    It seemed like He Dong was completely loyal to Iron Blade Sect, and it also seemed like Duan Jun was trying to silence them by killing them.


    At this moment, Duan Jun''s entire body began to tremble, and his eyes turned red.


    At this moment, Duan Jun was like a Strange Beast whose heart had been assaulted by fury.


    Duan Jun clenched his right hand, and a large, ruthless blade appeared in his hand, radiating cold light in all directions.


    Die!


    Duan Jun roared angrily, and took the opportunity to swing his blade at Li Xie.


    The corner of He Dong''s mouth twitched. He wanted to see how long Li Xie could hold out for.


    Broken Army and He Dong attacked from the front and back, not giving Li Xie any time to catch his breath.


    BOOM! "Boom!


    Under the fierce impact of Broken Army and He Dong, Li Xie could only leap up to the roof.


    After Li Xie stabilized his pace, he looked down at the courtyard outside Iron Blade Sect''s hall.


    Other than the bodies lying on the floor, the ground was a mess of bright red.


    He Dong quickly walked over to Duan Jun''s side. The situation had developed exactly as they had planned.


    Everyone stop! He Dong raised the huge saber in his hand and roared.


    In the blink of an eye, the disciples of the Iron Blade Sect, who were still fighting, stopped.


    He Dong, you''re right, we should send Li Xie off to accompany Ding Dian! Duan Jun said.

 C117

    The corner of He Dong''s mouth twitched. This was what he wanted to hear from Duan Jun.


    Only the combined efforts of Iron Blade Sect would be able to accomplish the following plans, which included seizing the entire Sangzhou City.


    Did everyone hear that? The order of the Sect Leader is that we cannot let Li Xie live to see the sun tomorrow! The corner of He Dong''s mouth twitched as he roared.


    Kill!


    In a moment, all the disciples of the Iron Blade Sect rushed towards Li Xie like a pack of ferocious wolves.


    He Dong waved the big blade in his hand and rushed to the front, he had long treated Li Xie''s head as his own.


    With a tap of his feet, He Dong immediately stood in front of Li Xie and pointed his blade at Li Xie.


    The blade of the broadsword was suffused with a cold light, enough to make the moonlight lose its luster.


    The blade tip whistled, just like how the King of Hell had been knocking on Li Xie''s door the entire time.


    Just now, He Dong had already determined from Li Xie''s footsteps that he was still a middle stage origin realm Martial Cultivator, and that his profound realm was inferior to his.


    Since it was like this, he had no reason to waste too many Elemental Energy on Li Xie.


    He Dong''s mouth twitched, and a burst of killing intent rushed towards Li Xie.


    Ah!


    He Dong shouted as the blood in his body started to boil.


    At this time, Li Xie was already a corpse in the eyes of He Dong, and a headless body.


    Bang!


    He Dong One swung his blade towards Li Xie''s skull, causing Li Xie to instantly raise his Nine Souls Sword.


    The Nine Souls Sword collided with He Dong''s large blade, causing sparks to fly in all directions, burning the air.


    He Dong continued to lower his blade, trying to make Li Xie exhaust his Elemental Energy.


    He was already an upper stage Martial Cultivator of the Profound Realm, so the Elemental Energy in his body was above Li Xie, let alone his arm strength.


    He Dong squinted his eyes and took the opportunity to send his Elemental Energy into his big blade.


    Li Xie, stop struggling, Ding Dian is still waiting for you to accompany him! He Dong said.


    I''m sure Commander Ding wants me to send you to accompany him! Li Xie said as the corner of his mouth rose.


    You are daydreaming! He Dong said with a cold smile.


    Hiss! Hiss!


    Just then, all the disciples of Iron Blade Sect threw their blades at Li Xie.


    If Li Xie was just a little bit slower, he would have immediately been chopped into minced meat.


    Li Xie''s footsteps started to become heavy, his attention completely focused on the Nine Souls Sword.


    Boom!


    Li Xie rose into the air with a point of his feet, and used the Nine Souls Sword to scatter around. The Sword Qi whistled out, like a stormy wave.


    Ah ¡­


    Under the impact of the Nine Souls Sword s'' Sword Qi, the disciples of Iron Blade Sect rolled to the side one after another, as if they were stones.


    The houses on all four sides collapsed as well. The entire headquarters of the Iron Blade Sect was now no longer the same as before!


    The Iron Blade Sect''s disciples trembled as they retreated, not daring to act rashly. The blades in their hands lost their edge as they did so.


    He Dong raised his eyebrows, he did not expect Li Xie to have such a powerful sword technique.


    But even so, He Dong did not think that Li Xie would be able to leave Iron Blade Sect alive.


    Bang


    The blade in He Dong''s hand was so dense that even the Sword Qi that was flying towards him was completely destroyed.


    Hiss!


    Li Xie dropped the Nine Souls Sword and it happened to pierce into He Dong''s chest, moving as fast as lightning.


    He Dong immediately threw his big blade forward, blocking the tip of the Nine Souls Sword''s blade.


    He Dong grinded his teeth as he glared at Li Xie, wishing that he could rip him to shreds.


    Boom ¡­


    Suddenly, He Dong retracted his blade. He turned around and walked behind Li Xie, and swung his blade at Li Xie''s back.


    Li Xie stepped forward, and the blade in He Dong''s hand whizzed past his shoulder once again.


    Ah!


    He Dong clenched the blade''s hilt with both hands and swung it towards Li Xie''s skull!


    In a split-second, Li Xie slightly tilted to the side and immediately took the opportunity to stab towards He Dong''s chest. He Dong involuntarily retracted his large blade.


    By the time He Dong managed to stabilize himself, his back was already soaked.


    He Dong furrowed his brows, although Li Xie''s cultivation was not high in the Martial Cultivator, but at the moment, he was not only stable, he was also as steady as Mt.


    Second brother, you should be here now! He Dong shouted towards the north side of Iron Blade Sect.


    "Whiz!"


    Following a figure descending from the sky, He Dong''s second brother appeared in front of Li Xie.


    He was Jin Xiong, and not long ago, he was the Vice Sect Leader of the Void He Sect.


    Jin Xiong cupped his fists and bowed to Li Xie. This was the second time they had met, but the scene was completely different.


    The last time they met, it was at Kong He Sect, and this time, they were actually in Iron Blade Sect.


    Li Xie could not help but laugh, so it turned out that Ding Dian''s guess was right, Jin Xiong was really a subordinate of the Iron Blade Sect''s Sect Leader, Duan Jun.


    At this time, the expression in Jin Xiong''s eyes changed, it was filled with killing intent.


    Second Brother, if you join hands with me, you would definitely be able to kill Li Xie a hundred and eighty times over! He Dong said with a smile.


    Humph! Jin Xiong''s mouth twitched, he instantly appeared behind Li Xie and used his blade to slash at Li Xie''s back.


    On the other side, He Dong waved his blade and rushed in front of Li Xie.


    Li Xie waved the Nine Souls Sword tightly in his hands, and the Sword Qi flew out once again.


    The two blades were extremely powerful, but the Nine Souls Sword in Li Xie''s hands would not lose its charm.


    Boring!


    Several loud sounds resounded in the night sky, and the house beneath Li Xie''s feet had already completely collapsed.


    Li Xie and the rest descended from the sky, their surroundings already extremely dilapidated.


    Duan Jun stood not far away and coldly watched as a group of Iron Blade Sect disciples hid behind him.


    Swoosh!


    Li Xie injected waves of Elemental Energy into the Nine Souls Sword, and the of the Nine Souls Sword roared out.


    He Dong and Jin Xiong immediately brandished their swords so tightly that the wind couldn''t pass through, and following that, the sound of the Sword Qi and the blade clashing resounded in their ears.


    At this point, anyone who was slightly slower would be decapitated.


    He Dong and Jin Xiong advanced step by step, even though their arms were numb.


    There were footprints on the ground, but they were getting shallower and shallower.


    Bang Bang


    The blade edge was fierce and strong, but the of the Nine Souls Sword was even sharper!


    Boom!


    It was as if the sky was falling and the earth cracking. He Dong and Jin Xiong were both sent flying by the Sword Qi at the same time.


    At this moment, the Nine Souls Sword in Li Xie''s hand was like a bolt of lightning.


    The Sword Qi continued to move forward, and all the things that were in its way were destroyed, even the disciples of the Iron Blade Sect were no exception.


    By the time He Dong and Jin Xiong fell to the ground, the blades in their hands were already broken into pieces.


    They tried to get up, but they could not bring themselves to do so.


    The voice of the Sword Qi still reverberated beside them, causing them to sink into a state of fear step by step.


    Their vision was blurry, and they could not tell where they were.


    Boom!


    The Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi roared, and all the Iron Blade Sect disciples who were still escaping were uprooted.


    Clang! Clang ¡­


    Weapons scattered everywhere as they fell to the ground. In an instant, they were all buried by the sword marks.


    Both Jin Xiong and He Dong''s bodies began trembling uncontrollably.


    An aura of death filled the air around He Dong and Jin Xiong. They could only allow their hearts to beat faster and faster.


    Li Xie withdrew his Nine Souls Sword and the rampaging Sword Qi gradually dissipated.


    Li Xie looked around, the entire headquarters of Iron Blade Sect was no longer the same, all the disciples of Iron Blade Sect who were seated outside the hall fell to the ground.


    The faces of both Jin Xiong and He Dong had completely changed. Their eyes were filled with fear.


    Li Xie held the Nine Souls Sword and walked quickly to the side of He Dong and Jin Xiong, who were the most capable men in the army.


    When Li Xie raised his Nine Souls Sword, they could only watch on helplessly.


    But Li Xie did not let the Nine Souls Sword fall, he turned and glanced at Duan Jun.

 C118

    At this time, Duan Jun was coldly staring at Li Xie, the veins on his hands were bulging! The Elemental Energy in his body was surging!


    Just now, Li Xie''s speed of swinging the sword was simply too fast, he did not have the time to clearly see it.


    He Dong and Jin Xiong were both outstanding Martial Cultivator from the Iron Blade Sect, but they were both defeated by Li Xie.


    Since that was the case, Duan Jun could only personally send Li Xie on his way.


    He would blame everything on Li Xie, even if he were to burn Li Xie''s bones to ashes, it would not be able to quell the hatred in Broken Army''s heart.


    Die!


    Following a loud shout, Duan Jun raised his blade and smashed it towards Li Xie''s head. The force behind the swing was enough to split a mountain and shatter rocks.


    Duan Jun arrived menacingly, his strong killing intent already arriving in front of Li Xie first.


    Li Xie waved his Nine Souls Sword forward, and the Sword Qi surged again.


    Duan Jun was already a middle stage Martial Cultivator of the Burning Realm, and his cultivation was above that of He Dong and Jin Xiong.


    In Duan Jun''s hands, the large blade seemed to have grown out of his hand, allowing him to do whatever he wanted.


    Under the assault of the Broken Army, Li Xie could only walk backwards step by step.


    Duan Jun stared at Li Xie, wanting to kill him with one move.


    He Dong and Jin Xiong wanted to hide to the side, but they couldn''t control their own bodies.


    They could only hope that the army would quickly cut Li Xie down from his horse, so that they could truly escape from danger.


    Bang!


    raised his Nine Souls Sword to defend against the blade aura as the two forces clashed. Boom!


    The Elemental Energy in Duan Jun''s body had already been ignited, causing his entire body to be filled with energy.


    In his eyes, Li Xie was just a wet behind the ears brat.


    The salt that he had eaten was even more than the rice that Li Xie had eaten, so how could he believe that he would lose to Li Xie.


    Duan Jun clenched the handle of his blade tightly and fiercely attacked Li Xie blade after blade.


    The blade in his hand roared, as though it was a ferocious Strange Beast!


    Compared to the big blade in Broken Army''s hands, Duan Jun''s gaze was much sharper. If looks could kill, he would have cut Li Xie into pieces long ago!


    Boom!


    The moment the Nine Souls Sword and Duan Jun''s blade clashed again, the ground under Li Xie''s feet had already cracked.


    The entire Iron Blade Sect was swaying, seemingly ready to collapse at any moment.


    He could not care so much. Under his control, the ground under Li Xie''s feet continued to sink.


    Duan Jun attempting to bury Li Xie alive must be even more painful than breaking his neck.


    The blade edge kept tearing at the Sword Qi of the Nine Souls Sword, not allowing it to get close to Duan Jian.


    Duan Jun bared his teeth as he stared at Li Xie, completely devoid of the gentleness and simplicity from before.


    Bang!


    Suddenly, Duan Jun''s figure appeared behind Li Xie in a flash and slashed towards Li Xie''s back.


    At this moment, Duan Jun was extremely excited, because he felt that Li Xie would be split into two soon.


    Duan Jun then injected waves after waves of Elemental Energy into his blade, causing the blade to immediately shine with light, he could not let himself miss this chance.


    Clang!


    Duan Jun''s eyes were wide open, the blade he aimed at Li Xie''s back was actually blocked.


    Duan Jun clenched his teeth, and continued to fiercely wave the big blade in his hand, not sparing to spend more and more Elemental Energy s.


    One by one, the sharp blades rushed towards Li Xie, not giving him a chance to react.


    If Li Xie had hesitated even a little bit, he would have immediately been swallowed by the blade, and not even ashes would remain.


    Li Xie suddenly jumped up and seized the opportunity to stab the Nine Souls Sword towards Duan Jun''s heart.


    Duan Jun laughed coldly, he never thought that Li Xie would actually dare to switch from defending to attacking, he truly wanted to bring about his own destruction.


    Since that was the case, Duan Jun was already prepared to let the Elemental Energy in Li Xie''s body run out!


    Duan Jun''s mouth twitched, and then fiercely swung his blade at Li Xie.


    Boom!


    As if the sky had been torn and the earth had been torn apart, Li Xie and Duan Jun almost fell to both sides at the same time.


    Li Xie brought the Nine Souls Sword down, and only after piercing it into the ground did Li Xie manage to control his own body again.


    On the other hand, Duan Jun who was standing across from Li Xie had fallen among the crumbling walls, and his vision had already blurred.


    His breathing became heavier and heavier, causing Duan Jun''s mind to become increasingly muddled.


    Li Xie held the Nine Souls Sword in his hand and walked towards Duan Jun step by step. He would take revenge for Ding Dian.


    What was going on?


    Duanren Emperor looked around: the Iron Blade Sect that he had single-handedly created actually made him feel a sense of unfamiliarity.


    And he couldn''t remember what had happened, what he had done.


    Duan Jun shook his head vigorously, but his memory of what happened was still empty.


    When Li Xie stood in front of Duan Jun, Duan Jun raised his head and looked at Li Xie.


    Duan Jun saw traces of blades on Li Xie''s body, each blade becoming deeper and deeper. It was very likely that he had fought with Li Xie just now.


    At this moment, sweat broke out on Duanren Emperor''s forehead. He did not expect that he and Iron Blade Sect would end up like this.


    Li Xie stared at Duan Jun, he felt that this time, Duan Jun''s gaze was very different from before.


    Could it be that Duan Jun wanted to play some tricks? When he relaxed his guard, he would find an opportunity to ambush him?


    Young Master Li, just now was not my intention! Duan Jun frowned as he spoke.


    Hmm, you mean you were controlled by someone else? Li Xie said.


    Right, there must be someone who wants me to fight with you until both sides suffer. Duan Jun''s face was gloomy as he said this.


    The older the better, our Sect Leader has found a way to let us live! He Dong stood up slowly and said to Li Xie.


    That''s right, the two of us compared to Sect Leader are just too stupid! Jin Xiong slowly stood up as well.


    Li Xie retracted his gaze and looked at Duan Jun once again, his eyes filled with doubt.


    Duan Jun didn''t explain himself, but he looked straight into Li Xie''s eyes.


    Whose men are you two? Li Xie turned his face to look at He Dong and Jin Xiong and asked.


    I am the Third Master of Iron Blade Sect, whose subordinate do you think I am? He Dong asked.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows, he obviously did not believe that He Dong and Jin Xiong would be loyal to Duan Jun, so could it be that there were other strong forces within the Sangzhou City?


    If there really is one, then everything that happened recently in the Sangzhou City is related to him.


    Even Mu Yunji''s death was related to him, Tang Zeng was not the one who killed Mu Yunji.


    Suddenly, Li Xie''s heart tensed up, he felt that he had unknowingly fallen into an unfathomable trap.


    He was like a chess piece on someone else''s chessboard, following their plans.


    Fortunately, he had now woken up in time. Otherwise, he would have been trapped inside and eventually swallowed by the trap.


    Li Xie withdrew his thoughts, and immediately extended his left hand to help Duan Jun up.


    Duan Jun shook off the dust on his body, then immediately thanked Li Xie.


    Sect Leader, here''s your chance, quickly kill that bastard Li Xie! He Dong roared.


    Ah!


    Suddenly, the look in Duan Jun''s eyes changed again, and became murderous.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    Duan Jun struck the blade in his hand straight at Li Xie''s chest. The force behind it was enough to split open a mountain!


    Li Xie''s figure flashed, instantly pulling the distance between him and Duan Jun.


    Duan Jun grimaced as he approached Li Xie step by step. He currently did not care that his body was already riddled with scars.


    He Dong and Jin Xiong looked at each other, hoping that Duan Jun would be able to take another step forward to exhaust Li Xie.


    After all, Duan Jun was a Sect Leader of Iron Blade Sect, and he was far from reaching the end of the line.


    Swoosh!


    A strong stream of Sword Qi rushed towards Duan Jun, but when Duan Jun managed to react, he had already been thoroughly flipped over on the ground.


    Bang!

 C119

    When Duan Jun landed on the ground, his head hit the ground, causing him to faint and no longer move.


    When He Dong and Jin Xiong saw all of this, they couldn''t help but frown.


    Duan Jun''s Martial Cultivator was in a realm higher than Li Xie, but he was actually not Li Xie''s match.


    With the Nine Souls Sword in hand, Li Xie instantly leaped up and stood in front of them.


    They could smell the scent of death, and it was very likely that they would be swallowed up by it in the next moment.


    He tried his best to remain calm and collected.


    At the same time, Jin Xiong clenched his fists, making it so that he still looked as menacing as before.


    He believed that his master would definitely be watching nearby. He could not lose face for his master, because at that time, he would lose his place in his master''s heart.


    Young Master Li, quickly return to your City Lord''s Mansion or else it''ll be too late! Jin Xiong advised.


    What do you mean? Li Xie looked at Jin Xiong and asked.


    Miss Sun. Jin Xiong''s voice was soft, but it was enough to make Li Xie''s heart tighten.


    Although He Dong was not clear as to who exactly Miss Sun was, he could tell that Miss Sun was extremely important to Li Xie.


    Li Xie immediately turned and walked towards the Iron Blade Sect''s gate with quick steps.


    He Dong and Jin Xiong who were standing behind Li Xie laughed coldly, they felt that Li Xie had already become extremely chaotic.


    Sun Pei was just like Li Xie''s mingmen. Only she could cause Li Xie to panic, and if he panic even an inch, then he would be trapped in a bottomless abyss!


    "Whiz!"


    A shadow descended from the sky, and as soon as Jin Xiong and He Dong regained their balance, both Jin Xiong and He Dong immediately bowed to him. He was the master that Jin Xiong and He Dong had truly served.


    He wore a black robe, and his pair of bright and lively eyes were particularly eye-catching.


    He turned his face and looked in the direction that Li Xie had walked out of Iron Blade Sect. Li Xie was already nowhere to be seen.


    The corner of his mouth raised, even though the situation was developing out of his expectations, Li Xie had not destroyed his entire plan.


    On the contrary, it was very likely that Li Xie was already deeply immersed within, and wouldn''t be able to come out for a while.


    Swoosh!


    Suddenly, a wave of Sword Qi s pounced towards the black clothed man, like a torrential storm.


    The black clothed man immediately stomped his feet and fiercely dodged the impact of the Sword Qi.


    But He Dong and Jin Xiong were not so lucky, they could only watch as Sword Qi pounced in front of them, and then its body was ripped apart.


    Ah ¡­


    The moment the scream echoed in the air, He Dong and Jin Xiong were already lying in a pool of blood, no longer moving.


    The black-clothed man''s mouth twitched, instantly exuding killing intent!


    When his heels landed, he glared at Li Xie fiercely, his eyes already red.


    Li Xie had clearly walked far away just now, but he never expected that he would actually kill him.


    Separated by ten steps, Li Xie looked at the man in black with astonishment.


    They had known each other since a long time ago, and had never fought together against Devil Monarch and Devil Clan together.


    At this moment, Li Xie finally realised why Mu Yun did not even have the chance to resist when facing the culprit.


    Perhaps even in his wildest dreams, Mu Yunji would never imagine that the people who had followed him for so long actually wanted to kill him, and were even so ruthless in their attacks.


    The man dressed in black was Ding Dian. At this moment, Ding Dian had completely changed his appearance. Other than his appearance still being the same as before, everything else had changed.


    Ding Dian cupped his fists and saluted Li Xie, and forced out a smile.


    Tonight, he had been secretly observing nearby, waiting to hear the good news. However, there hadn''t been any good news.


    Young Master Li, you are smarter than I thought! Ding Dian sighed.


    Commander Ding, who are you working for? Li Xie''s face was gloomy as he asked.


    Ding Dian smiled slightly, then turned his back to Li Xie.


    He had already stayed in the Sangzhou City for many years, and had almost forgotten his true identity.


    But when he heard about what had happened in Ziyang City City, he once again firmed his resolve.


    He could not live for himself alone. He had to live for his family, and his master was his family.


    Actually, my surname is not Ding, but rather Dongfang. My name is Dongfang Canon! Ding Dian said.


    Are you a member of the Dongfang family with the Ziyang City? Li Xie said.


    That''s right, Patriarch had already arranged for me to be by Mu Yunji''s side many years ago. Dongfang Codex said.


    Oh, but Dongfang Liang had already lost his mind, the Dongfang family was only one step away from collapsing. Li Xie slowly walked to the side of Dongfang Codex and said.


    So what? Even without Dongfang Liang, the Dongfang family''s thousand years of history were still there! Dongfang Dian turned and looked at Li Xie, and said forcefully.


    Are you preparing to change your Sangzhou City to the Dongfang family''s Sangzhou City? Li Xie asked.


    Yes, because the Ziyang City can no longer belong to our Dongfang family. Dongfang Xiu sighed.


    Li Xie frowned. After all, the Dongfang family was the family that ranked first among the East Qin Kingdom nine great families, with a plethora of talented people.


    Dongfang Liang had already gone mad, the Dongfang family was still in the process of operation and had gradually woken up and died.


    There were many loyal people like Dongfang Codex who were to the Dongfang family.


    Inviting me to the Sangzhou City should be your idea, right? Li Xie glanced at the Eastern Canon and asked.


    Un, I wanted to borrow a knife to kill, and I thought you were the sharp knife that could be used by me. Dongfang Codex said.


    Li Xie let out a long sigh, because he was about to lose his second friend in Sangzhou City.


    The Mu Yun City Lord trusts you so much, how can you do that? Li Xie asked.


    After I finish dealing with the Sangzhou City, I''ll go accompany him. Dongfang Canon.


    You cannot let City Lord Mu Yun wait for too long; you should go and accompany him right now! Li Xie said resolutely.


    Young Master Li, you should think about it again. Although the Dongfang family is not as strong as before, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. If you want to be able to stand firmly in the East Qin Kingdom, our Dongfang family can be your support! Dongfang Xiu advised.


    No need, I don''t want to become a chess piece under the Dongfang family''s control. Li Xie flatly refused.


    Since that''s the case, I can only send you on your final journey! Dongfang Canon.


    Clang!


    Dongfang Dian took out his ancient blade and held it tightly in his hand, and swung it at Li Xie, his killing intent soaring into the sky.


    Li Xie waved the Nine Souls Sword forward, and it just so happened to be the right time to clash with the Everlasting Sword.


    The ancient blade in Dongfang Dian''s hand was a high-grade earth-rank weapon with a lot of power.


    Relying on his ancient blade, he was able to step by step become the commander of Sangzhou City, gaining Mu Yunji''s trust.


    Dongfang Codex''s attack was like the wind. He knew that Li Xie had just used up a lot of Elemental Energy s, and his body must be extremely exhausted.


    As long as he attacked like a fierce tiger, Li Xie would definitely collapse.


    At that time, Li Xie would only be at his mercy and would have no strength to fight back.


    Dongfang Dian leaped up, and took the chance to hack the ancient blade towards Li Xie''s head, as fierce as a tiger.


    Bang!


    As if the mountains had collapsed and the earth had cracked, the ground beneath Li Xie''s feet had started to crack.


    The General of the East''s ancient blade continued to sink deeper and deeper. Unlike Li Xie, he had an abundance of Elemental Energy.


    The Elemental Energy was burning within Dongfang Ce''s body and surging through his entire body.


    Li Xie couldn''t control his own footsteps and retreated a little.


    Dongfang Codex saw all of this. He couldn''t help but smile.


    Young Master Li, your Elemental Energy is limited, and can''t possibly be a match for me. Dongfang Canon.


    It''s still too early to say that, I haven''t lost yet! Li Xie replied.

 C120

    Dongfang Cong raised his eyebrows. Li Xie''s fighting spirit was truly something that he could admire a lot.


    It was a pity that Li Xie had already rejected the chance to be friends with him.


    Young Master Li, do you really want to die? Dongfang Codex asked.


    You''re the one who should be courting death! Li Xie shouted.


    Humph! I didn''t expect you to be so ignorant! Dongfang Dian sneered.


    Bang bang!


    The Dongfang Imperial General slashed his blade at Li Xie, he wanted to end the battle quickly.


    Following that, the speed at which Li Xie swung his sword became slower and slower, and more and more flaws appeared.


    The whistling sound of the blade firmly held the upper hand, and the Sword Qi''s edge was even more damaged.


    Under the impact of the blade, the living room of Iron Blade Gate had been ruined beyond recognition.


    The rock garden collapsed to the ground, and the trees tumbled to the ground. The ground was filled with the marks of swords and sabers.


    The moonlight had already hidden into the clouds, and the night sky of the Sangzhou City was filled with haze.


    The Eastern Canon continued to rush forward, leaving Li Xie with not much space left.


    Dongfang Codex heard Li Xie''s heartbeat, and it became more and more urgent. This was exactly what he expected.


    Boom!


    Following a loud sound, Li Xie and the Nine Souls Sword in his hands were both sent flying by the blade.


    If not for the Nine Souls Sword in Li Xie''s hand, he probably would have already been swallowed by the blade.


    After falling to the ground, a huge pit appeared under Li Xie.


    Just as Li Xie was about to stand up, Dongfang Ce descended from the sky and slashed at his chest with his ancient blade, like a hot knife through butter.


    At this very moment, Dongfang Codex''s face was red with killing intent. Even his pores were incomparably ferocious.


    The Eastern Canon was extremely excited, as if it had drunk dozens of jars of wine.


    Clang!


    Once again, the ancient blade clashed head on with the Nine Souls Sword, causing the ground to shake.


    Dongfang Codex took in a deep breath. Li Xie had already reached such a level, yet he was still able to receive the ancient blade in his hand. This was truly out of his expectations.


    But even if he had exhausted all the Elemental Energy, Dongfang Codex would send Li Xie on his way.


    As long as Li Xie was still alive, there was a chance that all his previous efforts would go down the drain. He did not want to see this moment come.


    Dongfang Dian clenched his teeth and pressed down on the blade, the blade edge of the blade was only an inch away from Li Xie''s chest.


    The ancient blade was roaring, as if it was even more excited than the Eastern Canon.


    Dongfang Cen''s left hand punched toward Li Xie''s right arm, instantly causing blood to seep out of the corner of Li Xie''s mouth.


    Just this one punch was not enough, Dongfang Dian was prepared to punch until Li Xie''s right arm became crippled.


    Dongfang Codex''s attacks became more and more ferocious, and the strength of his punches also became more and more powerful.


    At this moment of life and death, the Purple Radiant Primordial Flame inside Li Xie''s body opened its eyes.


    Infuriated!


    Rumble ¡­


    In the blink of an eye, Dongfang Dian''s vision had turned dark, as if a pair of hands had covered his eyes.


    Dongfang Codex could only wave his ancient blade as he quickly retreated.


    And beside his ears, other than the furious roars of the Sword Qi, he could not hear a single other sound.


    This feeling was simply too terrible. He was clearly just a step away from getting Li Xie''s head, but the result was that he was getting further and further away.


    The Eastern Canon General infused the Elemental Energy into his ancient blade, causing all the Sword Qi that was charging towards him to be completely destroyed.


    However, this could not stop the Sword Qi from advancing.


    The ground under Dongfang Dian''s feet had been overturned layer after layer, completely unrecognizable.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    Although the long blade wielded by the Eastern General was extremely dense, the Sword Qi still landed on his body.


    Dongfang Cen frowned. The Sword Qi that covered the sky and the earth was simply too strong.


    He held the ancient saber tightly in both hands and continuously waved it in all directions. The sweat on his forehead was already pouring down like rain.


    The blade Qi poured out, violently surging and clashing with the Sword Qi.


    Dongfang Codex slowly walked forward step by step in an attempt to get closer to Li Xie.


    Even though he didn''t know where Li Xie stood, he was still holding on with his teeth.


    Li Xie, hurry up and die in front of me! Dongfang Jun.


    Boom!


    A wave of Sword Qi swept across, instantly uprooting the Eastern Canon! It was as fast as lightning!


    Dongfang Codex was lifted into the air, and his entire body began to lose strength.


    Bang!


    As Dongfang Guan fell from the sky at an incredible speed, the collapsed building beneath him instantly disintegrated.


    Stones, dust, tables and chairs all fell onto Dongfang Ce''s body.


    The Sword Qi was still whistling beside Dongfang Ce''s ears, each sound more ferocious than the last.


    Dongfang Codex gripped the hilt of his ancient saber tightly and tried to stand up, but it didn''t work.


    A feeling of helplessness surged into Dongfang Codex''s heart, causing him to furrow his brows.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    At this time, the vigorous Sword Qi slowly dissipated, and Dongfang Dian''s line of sight also gradually returned to normal.


    Dongfang Tong breathed in and out in large mouthfuls of air. It was as if someone had grabbed his throat just now.


    He glanced at his right hand, which was now covered with traces of the Sword Qi.


    He laughed coldly, because he was still alive. He was still able to continue fighting with Li Xie.


    With his left hand supporting on the ground, Dongfang Cong stood up while holding his ancient saber while swaying.


    As the gaze of the Eastern Divine General extended forward, Li Xie happened to be looking at him.


    Li Xie, you have really opened my eyes! Dongfang Cong exclaimed.


    Swoosh!


    Following a flash of the Sword Qi, Dongfang Dian frowned. He lowered his head and saw that his Martial Veins had already been cut apart.


    Clang!


    The blade landed heavily on the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.


    Dongfang Cong listlessly fell backwards, as if his entire body had been hollowed out.


    Blood flowed out from the corner of Dongfang Dian''s mouth, staining the ground beside him red.


    With Nine Souls Sword in hand, Li Xie quickly walked to Dongfang Dian''s side. At this moment, Dongfang Dian''s face was as white as paper.


    Young Master Li, I never thought that you would actually win! Dongfang Ce smiled bitterly.


    Save your strength, you still have to travel later. Li Xie advised.


    "Hmm ¡­" Dongfang Guan closed his eyes, and his breathing became more and more steady.


    Swoosh!


    The longblade lying on the side suddenly rose up from the ground, and then took the opportunity to stab into the heart of the Eastern Canon quickly and ruthlessly.


    Li Xie kept the Nine Souls Sword and turned around with his back facing the Eastern Canon, letting out a long sigh.


    From then on, not only was there no Mu Yun City Lord but there was also no Commander Ding in Sangzhou City.


    Is this kind of Sangzhou City still a Sangzhou City? Li Xie didn''t have an answer in his heart.


    Three days later, Li Xie and Sun Pei arrived at the largest city in the center of East Qin Kingdom, which was Zhong Yuan City.


    The Zhong Yuan City was still that bustling and extraordinary Zhong Yuan City, with an unending stream of merchants and Martial Cultivator s coming from the north and south.


    The moment Li Xie took half a step into the Zhong Yuan City, his Su Mansion and City Lord''s Mansion received the news first.


    In the days after Li Xie left the Zhong Yuan City, the Ye Family was still pressed down by the Su Family to the point where they had no way of turning the situation around.


    After the news regarding Ziyang City had spread to the Zhong Yuan City, the Ye Family had become more and more depressed.


    Su Family were about to become the number one clan in East Qin Kingdom, and their Ye Family could only keep them at a distance.


    They wanted nothing more than to move out of the Zhong Yuan City, but they didn''t have the chance.


    After returning to the Zhong Yuan City, Li Xie and Sun Pei took the initiative to pay a visit to the Zhong Yuan City''s City Master, Han Jinshan.


    Following the footsteps of the commander of the City Lord''s Mansion, Hu Gang, Li Xie and Sun Pei walked towards the living room of the City Lord''s Mansion.


    Sun Pei had also been to the Zhong Yuan City before, but this was the first time she had walked into this place.


    Everything within the Zhong Yuan City was new to her, so she tried her best to see the scenery within the City Lord''s Mansion.


    When Li Xie and Sun Pei stopped, they were already in the living room of City Lord''s Mansion.

 C121

    Li Xie thought back to the time when he was in the Zhong Yuan City, when Su Cheng was still there.


    Currently, the matter of Su Cheng going to the Ten Heavenly Regions to cultivate had already become well-known. Everyone was still discussing it from time to time, and many people were even envious.


    Li Xie let out a long sigh of relief, and then retracted his train of thoughts, leaving no trace behind.


    This time, after returning to the Zhong Yuan City, Li Xie sighed with emotion.


    Just then, the sound of footsteps came from afar, Li Xie and Sun Pei looked towards the direction of the sound.


    Although Sun Pei had never seen the city lord of Zhong Yuan City before, she could tell his identity just by looking at her aura.


    He must be the master of the Zhong Yuan City, Han Jinshan. He has a pair of bright and lively eyes, and the aura of a city lord.


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth raised slightly. It had already been a while since he and Han Jinshan had last seen each other, but Han Jinshan didn''t seem to have changed at all.


    At least, Li Xie could find a trace of a familiar feeling within the city.


    Not long later, Han Jinshan stepped into the living room, and stood in front of Li Xie and Sun Pei.


    The three of them bowed to each other without any hint of strangeness.


    Han Jinshan stroked his long beard as he looked at Li Xie. According to his knowledge, Li Xie had experienced quite a few things in the past few days due to his Ziyang City and Sangzhou City.


    Moreover, Li Xie was involved in all of these, he almost lost his life.


    Now that his Ziyang City and Sangzhou City could no longer be compared to the past, Han Jinshan could only sigh.


    Fortunately, their Zhong Yuan City was as stable as ever, and the commoners lived and worked merrily.


    A pleased smile flashed across the corner of Han Jinshan''s mouth. All the effort he had put in over the years had not been in vain.


    Young Master Li, introduce me! Han Jinshan said.


    Her name was Sun Pei, and she came from the distant Dai An Mountain. Right after she finished speaking, Li Xie naturally looked at Sun Pei.


    Mount Dian? As far as I know, that''s the Spirit Race''s territory. Han Jinshan slowly said.


    Mn, that''s right, I am a Spirit Race woman. Sun Pei said.


    Han Jinshan thoughtfully nodded his head. Other than the Spirit Race, there was no one else who could step into the mountain.


    De An Mountain was a mysterious place, Han Jinshan had always wanted to go and find out what it was.


    The Spirit Race was one of the most ancient races on the Wind Tactic Continent. They had a long history.


    Young Master Li, is the recent incident that happened in the Ziyang City related to one''s Su Family? Han Jinshan lowered his voice and asked.


    Mn, City Lord Han, I wonder, do you know the identity of Young Noble Su Mian immune within the Su Family? Li Xie asked.


    Su Mian is free from gongzi? Han Jinshan frowned, then fell into deep thought.


    As the master of Zhong Yuan City, he had only heard about Su Mian before, but had never seen him before.


    In the Su Mansion, Su Mian''s identity was the most special and mysterious.


    His importance in the Su Family was definitely not inferior to Su Cheng''s. To deal with such an important matter to the Dongfang family, Su Ding would only send him out.


    Su Cheng should have other brothers and sisters right? Li Xie said.


    Su Cheng seems to only have one big sister, I have never heard of her specific name before. Han Jinshan said as he looked at Li Xie.


    The Su Family had sent Su Mian to deal with the Dongfang family. Could it be that the East Qin Kingdom royal family who was far away from the Lindu wouldn''t blame him? Li Xie had been thinking about this problem these past few days.


    It was obvious that the East Qin Kingdom royal family who was far away from the Lindu was secretly supporting the Su Family to deal with the Dongfang family. Han Jinshan laughed and said.


    Could it be that the royal family of East Qin Kingdom took into consideration that the Dongfang family''s background was too deep? Li Xie frowned and said.


    Yes. Han Jinshan said. Right now, there was no leader in the Dongfang family, so there was a high chance that they would die.


    Han Jinshan was already waiting to see whether or not Su Family would take advantage of the momentum and rise to become the number one family of the East Qin Kingdom''s Nine Great Families.


    He had a premonition that his Zhong Yuan City wouldn''t be able to calm down for more than a few days. Han Jinshan couldn''t help but sigh inwardly because this was something that he didn''t wish to see.


    When he had finished, his eyes were bright again.


    Young Master Li, if you stay in the Zhong Yuan City, you can stay with me in the recent days! Han Jinshan said.


    City Lord Han, you suspect that the Su Family will make a move against me? Li Xie asked.


    He was prepared! Han Jinshan calmly replied.


    Several hours later, the enormous Zhong Yuan City was already enveloped by the darkness, but it was still bustling.


    The lights dimmed, the stars shone, the wind blew gently, and the night of Zhong Yuan City was very clear.


    Borrowing the gentleness of the moonlight, Li Xie was practicing his sword skills in the southern courtyard with Zhong Yuan City.


    He really wanted to level up the Rage Heaven Arts to the third level, but until now, Li Xie had not been able to do anything to it.


    The southern region of the City Lord''s Mansion was very quiet. Han Jinshan had already ordered for the entire southern region to not need soldiers to patrol.


    The whistling sounds of the Sword Qi resounded in Li Xie''s ears. Li Xie really liked this sound.


    Sun Pei stood not far away and watched. Right now, her greatest pleasure was to face wind and rain with Li Xie.


    Even if it was a storm that would cause her to be covered with injuries, she would gladly accept it.


    Sun Pei''s lips curled up, she could tell that Li Xie''s sword techniques were getting stronger and stronger, not one bit inferior to those famous Sword Martial Cultivator.


    When Li Xie kept the Nine Souls Sword and turned around, their eyes met.


    The corners of Li Xie''s and Sun Pei''s mouths lifted at almost the same time, the moonlight tonight had begun to turn wonderful.


    Li Xie quickly walked in front of Sun Pei and gently caressed Sun Pei''s nose with his hand.


    Even though he was already used to Sun Pei accompanying him, he still felt like he was dreaming.


    "Whiz!"


    Li Xie and Sun Pei looked over to see Su Mian standing on the rooftop in front of them.


    Su Mian bowed towards Li Xie and Sun Pei. They had already not seen each other for some time.


    When Li Xie and Sun Pei left the Ziyang City, Su Mian also left the Ziyang City and returned to the Zhong Yuan City.


    The Ziyang City was no longer the Ziyang City from before. Dongfang Liang had gone mad, the east had gradually awoken and disappeared. To Su Mian, staying in the Ziyang City was already a waste of time.


    After returning to the Zhong Yuan City, Su Mian was already waiting for Li Xie''s appearance.


    Li Xie stared at Su Mian, he was surprised by Su Mian''s sudden appearance, and it was within the City Lord''s Mansion.


    Brother Li, you have already come to Zhong Yuan City, why don''t you pay a visit to Old Master Su? Su Mian went straight to the point.


    I''m going to call on Old Master Su tomorrow. Li Xie calmly replied.


    There''s no need to wait for tomorrow. Patriarch really wants to see you right now. Su Mian said.


    Li Xie frowned, he did not know why Su Ding wanted to see him right now.


    At this point, Su Mian instantly leaped and appeared in front of Li Xie and Li Xie.


    Su Mian smiled as she looked at Li Xie, waiting for her reply.


    He felt that with Li Xie''s personality, he wouldn''t reject going to the Su Mansion to see Patriarch.


    He was already beginning to look forward to what the Patriarch and Li Xie would say.


    Since Old Master Su is so cordial in inviting me to go to Su Mansion to meet him, I can''t give him some face. Li Xie said with a smile.


    Un, then does Miss Sun want to go with Brother Li? Su Mian turned her face to look at Sun Pei and asked.


    No, I''m a little tired and want to rest early. Sun Pei immediately replied.


    Miss Sun, are you feeling unwell? Su Mian asked in concern.


    There was nothing uncomfortable about it. It was really just a little tired. Sun Pei yawned.


    Pei''er, rest in peace, I''ll be right back! Li Xie said.


    After a while, Li Xie was already standing in the living room of Su Mansion.


    The Su Mansion living room''s four corners were empty, there were no guards patrolling back and forth, obviously Su Ding had intentionally arranged this.

 C122

    Su Mian stood at the door of the living room, he raised his head and stared at the night sky above him, the emptiness would make his mood much better.


    He had already not properly enjoyed the night for a few days, and in these past few days, he had been busy within Ziyang City City.


    That kind of scheming and scheming was not his pleasure, but he had no choice but to face it for the sake of Su Family.


    After returning to the Zhong Yuan City, he couldn''t rest for more than a few days, and had to get busy again.


    Since Su Cheng was not in the Zhong Yuan City now, he could only carry the plan Su Ding had arranged for him with all his strength on his shoulders.


    Sometimes, Su Mian would feel very tired, but he would never complain to Su Ding about anything because his surname was Su.


    Now that the Dongfang family was severely injured, their Su Family had instead reached its most dangerous moment.


    It was unknown how many pairs of eyes were fixated on their Su Family, so long as they took one wrong step, their efforts would be for naught.


    Su Mian sighed secretly, a wave of pressure she had never felt before blew over.


    Fortunately, their Su Family had already been prepared, and they had sufficient strength to face the storm that was about to arrive.


    Brother Li, I''m starting to miss Su Cheng. Right after he finished speaking, Su Mian turned around to look at Li Xie.


    Young Noble Yu, are you really only friends with Su Cheng? Li Xie asked solemnly.


    Of course, he and I are not friends, so you should have already seen through our relationship. As for what it is, you will know very soon. Su Mian said.


    Cough ¡­


    Li Xie raised his brows. It was likely that the voice that came from Su Ding, the Su Family, was vigorous and powerful.


    Just as expected, when Li Xie extended his gaze forward, he saw a white-haired but spirited old man.


    He was Su Ding, the pillar of the entire Su Family.


    Just from his eyes alone, it could be seen that he had experienced many trials and hardships. Now, in the face of any sudden change, he could easily face it.


    In the blink of an eye, Su Ding walked quickly around Su Mian and stood in front of him.


    Su Ding looked up and down at Li Xie, the expression in his eyes becoming gentler, he felt that Li Xie was similar to how the rumors described him.


    Suddenly, Su Ding felt that Li Xie and his were somewhat similar. Their ages were similar, and both of them had the same Inherent Skill.


    Li Xie cupped his fist and bowed towards Su Ding. Su Ding''s position in the East Qin Kingdom was not lower than him.


    Seeing it today, Li Xie felt that Su Ding was even more imposing than Dongfang Liang. No wonder the Su Family he had gained in the past few years was so impressive.


    Su Ding bowed in reply to Li Xie, not putting on the airs of an elder.


    Su Mian slowly walked to Su Ding''s side and turned her head to look at Su Ding, her eyes filled with respect.


    Then, Su Mian retracted her gaze and landed on Li Xie''s body.


    Young Master Li, we finally meet. Su Ding sighed with emotion.


    Yes, I have been to the Su Mansion before, but passed you before. Li Xie sighed.


    At that time, Cheng was still here. Cough, I wonder if he is doing well in the Ten Heavenly Regions. Su Ding frowned and said.


    Patriarch, with Su Cheng''s talent, he would definitely be able to gain a foothold in the Ten Heavenly Regions! Maybe he''ll be back in a few days! Su Mian said with full of confidence.


    Su Ding turned and looked at Su Mian, then smiled.


    Li Xie had always been paying attention to the way Su Ding looked at Su Mian. There was something fishy about it, but it was not enough for Li Xie to see through his true identity.


    Young Master Li, you have to be careful in Zhong Yuan City City, the Ye Family has always wanted to put you to death. Su Ding warned as he looked at Li Xie.


    It didn''t matter. He would do whatever he wanted! Li Xie said calmly.


    Young Master Li, I, Su, really like your personality. Su Ding praised.


    Old Master Su, we should be talking about the reason why you invited me to the Su Mansion now, right? Li Xie asked, he did not like to keep beating around the bush.


    Mm, then I''ll say it clearly, I want to work with you to deal with the Ye family. Right after he finished, Su Ding''s eyes flashed with killing intent.


    Li Xie raised his brows, with the strength of his Su Family, why would he join hands with him to deal with the Ye Family?


    Did he want him to bear all the consequences after destroying the Ye Family? Li Xie didn''t think that it would be like this.


    Su Ding''s thoughts were deep, and he couldn''t really see through it in a short period of time.


    Li Xie glanced at Su Mian from the corner of her eyes. It seemed as if he didn''t know Su Ding''s real intentions either.


    Young Master Li, right now your heart must be filled with doubts. Su Ding asked with a smile.


    Mm, I wonder if Old Master Su can point out some secrets for me. Li Xie said.


    Right now, it''s not known how many pairs of eyes are staring at our Su Family, so it''s going to be extremely difficult for our Su Family to make a move against the Ye Family. Su Ding slowly said.


    Li Xie thoughtfully nodded his head, what Su Ding said made sense.


    Brother Li, are you worried that our Su Family will harm you? Su Mian''s face was gloomy as she asked.


    Of course not, I just don''t want to be a chess piece on someone else''s board. Li Xie replied with a smile.


    Un, I can see that you, Young Master Li, also want to become someone who controls the chess board. Su Ding said.


    I''m sorry, Old Master Su. As long as the Ye family does not provoke me, I have no intention of doing anything to them. Li Xie said.


    Su Ding raised his eyebrows, could it be that Li Xie was not a vengeful person?


    Since Young Master Li had already said so, then forget it. Su Ding said in relief.


    Old Master Su, if there''s nothing else, I''ll be taking my leave first. Li Xie cupped his hands and said.


    Oh, Young Master Li, don''t tell me you don''t want to walk around in the dark night with Su Mansion in tow? Su Ding asked.


    Patriarch is right, Brother Li, let me show you around! Su Mian said.


    Since that''s the case, I have no choice but to obey! Li Xie said.


    Not long after, Li Xie and Su Mian walked in the Su Mansion garden with light footsteps.


    Su Mansion''s garden was very big, there were all kinds of flowers blooming in the summer inside.


    Bathed in the fragrance of the flower, Li Xie and Su Mian felt the air much better.


    If the feeling Su Mansion gave people was impetuous, then the flower garden of Su Mansion was the only place that could make people feel at peace.


    Su Mian could not help but bend down to pick the most gorgeous flower, and then she placed it in her palm.


    The wind blew past gently, and the flower on Su Mian''s palm was scattered by the wind.


    Su Mian raised her eyebrows. Beautiful things could never be kept, but it was too short.


    He wanted to pick another one, but he stopped himself after thinking about it.


    Not good! Master is in trouble!


    In the blink of an eye, the tranquil Su Mansion seemed to be surrounded by flames that burned aggressively.


    Shocked voices, panicked voices, and terrified voices rose and fell one after another.


    Su Mian''s face instantly turned as pale as paper, his entire body felt as though it had been hollowed out, and she almost fainted.


    Young master! Li Xie shouted towards Su Mian.


    Su Mian took a step back in fear, then immediately ran towards the study room.


    According to Su Ding''s usual habit, he would usually be in his study during this time.


    Li Xie immediately followed closely behind Su Mian. At this moment, Su Mian seemed to have completely changed;


    On the way to the study room, the Su Mansion guards and servants all revealed panicked expressions.


    None of them expected such a thing to happen in the Su Mansion, and it was even happening on their master.


    Li Xie continued to walk as he looked around his surroundings. The night sky of Su Mansion seemed to be shrouded in a layer of dark haze that could not be dispersed.

 C123

    Su Mian''s footsteps became more and more hurried. It was just like his current mood; he had never been this flustered before.


    When the study room appeared in front of him, Su Mian''s footsteps suddenly stopped.


    He wished that everything he had just heard was fake, but what he had just heard had shattered all his hopes.


    Li Xie looked inside the study room. The scene inside the room looked as if it had been looted and was in complete chaos.


    Furthermore, there was a pool of blood on the floor of the study, which most likely belonged to Su Ding.


    Li Xie raised his leg and quickly entered the study, he looked around but he did not see Su Ding.


    Li Xie frowned, sighing to himself, was the Zhong Yuan City about to fall into a storm so quickly?


    He was not prepared, and it was clear that his Su Family was not prepared as well.


    "Whiz!"


    A sharp arrow pierced through the night sky, finally landing on the desk in the study room. It was extremely powerful.


    The tail of the arrow swayed, as though it was waving at Li Xie.


    Li Xie took a step forward and pulled the arrow that was stuck into the table out, then he turned his gaze to Su Mian who was standing outside the door of the study room.


    Su Mian immediately walked into the study, and then stood beside Li Xie, where he heard her own rapid heartbeat.


    Li Xie removed the white cloth from the arrow and took the opportunity to slowly open it. At the same time, he held his breath.


    The words on the white cloth were very clear, and the strokes were fierce and forceful.


    After he clearly saw the contents of the white cloth, Li Xie couldn''t help but gasp.


    Li Xie turned his face to look at Su Mian, but Su Mian''s expression was extremely solemn.


    The Su Mian in front of him was not the Young Master Wu who he was familiar with, but this made him seem more real.


    Su Mian was also a mere mortal, he would also have times where she would lose control over her emotions.


    Li Xie passed the white cloth to Su Mian, and Su Mian ruthlessly kneaded the white cloth into a ball in her hands, and then turned it into ashes.


    Brother Li, our Su Family has reached the point of life and death. Su Mian looked at Li Xie worriedly.


    Young Master Wu, with your Su Family''s strength, you should be able to find where Old Master Su is trapped. Li Xie said.


    The other party had come prepared, and had even snuck into the manor to capture the Patriarch, their strength definitely could not be underestimated. Su Mian said.


    We still have time. Li Xie said.


    Mm, Brother Li, you''re right. Su Mian looked at Li Xie and said.


    A few hours later, the Zhong Yuan City''s light up, but the sky above the Su Mansion s was still shrouded in a haze.


    The news of Su Ding being kidnapped spread like wildfire through all the streets and alleys of the Zhong Yuan City, causing the majority of the citizens to fall into a state of panic.


    Su Ding was like a god''s needle that could calm the seas and seas with his Zhong Yuan City, if he met with big trouble now, his Zhong Yuan City would definitely suffer big trouble as well.


    The bustling streets of Zhong Yuan City City had become a lot calmer. There were even a few merchants and Martial Cultivator s who left the city in a hurry, afraid that they would be swept up in the torrential storm.


    Li Xie left his City Lord''s Mansion early in the morning and went to the most famous noodle house in Zhong Yuan City City, the guest noodle house.


    Although the guest noodle house had only been in Zhong Yuan City City for a few months, the other restaurants could only look on helplessly.


    The business of the guest noodle shop was very good. Almost every day, it was filled with customers, who would freely chat about what had happened in the various areas of East Qin Kingdom.


    Fortunately, Li Xie had made it in time. When he entered the guest noodle house, there was still an empty seat.


    Li Xie quickly walked towards the empty seat, afraid that someone else would snatch it after a moment of hesitation.


    When Li Xie took his empty seat, he ordered a bowl of noodles on the signboard of the guest noodle shop.


    Of course, he did not come here for the noodles, but for information.


    There were a lot of customers inside the restaurant. It was a mess, like ordinary citizens selling their lives to famous families.


    Li Xie concentrated on spreading his hearing to all directions, hoping to hear more useful information.


    You''ve all heard of it, haven''t you? Master Su Family was actually kidnapped! The man in coarse clothes said.


    That''s right, Master Su Family is a famous big shot, he was actually kidnapped, I feel that it''s really unbelievable! The man in azure clothes said.


    Li Xie looked over, only to see a few sect disciples discussing, and attracted many gazes.


    What you guys know is still too little. I heard that if you want to save Master Su Family, you have to use Mayor Han''s head to exchange! The man in white said.


    What!


    In a split-second, everyone in the noodle store had their gazes fixed on them.


    My news definitely won''t be false! The man in white said solemnly.


    Old Lu, how do you know so much? A man in coarse clothes asked.


    I am a disciple of the Longsword Sect! The white robed man said with a smile.


    Longsword Gate? Li Xie raised his eyebrows, it seemed that the power the Longsword Sect had in terms of Zhong Yuan City was not small.


    But even if they were powerful, how did they get hold of such information? Could it be that they have eyes and ears in the Su Mansion?


    The water in the Zhong Yuan City was becoming more and more dense, just like the Ziyang City from before.


    "Ugh ¡­" So you''re a disciple of the Longsword Sect, then do you know any more information? The sect disciples at the other tables shouted at the top of their lungs.


    I still know a lot! The white robed man squinted his eyes as he spoke.


    Say it quickly! Don''t try to keep us in suspense! Everyone urged each other with burning anxiety.


    The white-robed man slowly stood up and swept his gaze over the crowd.


    At this moment, he was the focus of everyone''s attention. His every action was extremely eye-catching. He was enjoying this sort of sensation.


    In fact, the mysterious Young Noble Su Mian was actually Young Noble Su''s sister! As soon as she said that, the man in white opened his eyes wide, waiting to see the shocked expression on everyone''s faces.


    How is this possible!?


    The corners of the white-clothed man''s mouth curled up. He knew that everyone would be very surprised.


    When he found out about this news, he was also shocked.


    Just at this time, the white robed man''s attention fell on Li Xie, as if he had already noticed Li Xie walking into the guest hall.


    At this moment, Li Xie was still immersed in shock. He finally understood why Su Ding trusted Su Mian so much.


    In the past, Li Xie thought that Su Mian''s brilliance and speech were all similar to a woman''s.


    He didn''t notice that everyone''s eyes in the noodle shop, along with the man in white clothes, all landed on him at the same time, as if they were streams of fire.


    Young Master Li Li Xie! The white robed man shouted towards Li Xie.


    Li Xie immediately retracted his train of thoughts, and looked around, only to find that everyone in the noodle shop was looking at him.


    Are you really just a disciple of the Longsword Sect? Li Xie asked the white-clothed man in a stern voice after he stood up.


    It''s not good for you to know so much, so I advise you to quickly escape the Zhong Yuan City! The mouth of the white-clothed man twitched as he said.


    Escape the Zhong Yuan City? Why don''t you tell me why! Li Xie asked with interest.


    Because you are with the person who kidnapped Master Su Family, and what they want is the head of City Lord Han, and what you desire is Su Mian''s beauty! The man dressed in white spoke clearly.


    After Li Xie heard what the white clothed man said, he couldn''t help but frown.


    Even though he was extremely careful, he was still caught in the trap.


    As for who set the trap? or Han Jinshan? Or were there other forces?


    "Whiz!"


    Ah!

 C124

    All of a sudden, a cold arrow pierced the back of a white-robed man. The man''s vision darkened in an instant before he fell to the ground.


    Blood stained the white clothed man''s clothes and the ground, causing everyone to retreat in shock.


    The guest noodle house that was originally bustling suddenly became quiet. After the guest regained his senses, he ran out of the noodle house one after another without even daring to look back.


    Even the innkeeper and waiter had run away to save their lives.


    Li Xie walked step by step to the side of the white clothed man, and he bent down to close the white clothed man''s eyes.


    Despite the fact that the man in white was already dead, his face still had the smug smile of a moment ago.


    When Li Xie straightened his back, a group of ferocious Martial Cultivator s had already surrounded the guest noodle shop so tightly that not even a drop of water could leak out, and their killing intent surged towards him.


    They coldly stared at Li Xie, their eyes were like many sharp blades, fiercely slashing onto Li Xie''s body.


    Li Xie smiled indifferently, it seemed that if he wanted to leave the guest hall, he had to fight his way out!


    The person who set the trap had already guessed that Li Xie would come to the noodle house to ask for information, and everything that had happened just now was meticulously prepared for him. He had already unknowingly fallen for it.


    Even if Li Xie would never like this method of falling into a trap, he could only reluctantly accept it.


    "Whiz!"


    A shadow rushed out from outside the guest noodle house, causing all the Martial Cultivator s that were blocking the entrance to move aside, allowing the shadow to rush in and stand 5 steps away from Li Xie.


    The person''s arms were thicker than Li Xie''s thighs, and his entire body was filled with killing intent.


    His face wore the mask of a skeleton, revealing only half of his face. He looked extremely cold and ghostly.


    The reason he came to the noodle house this time was to take Li Xie''s head, if anyone fought with him, he would take more head.


    He looked back and saw that his disciples were like a pack of fierce wolves.


    As long as he took Li Xie''s head off, his disciples would rush over and chop Li Xie''s body into thin air.


    When his gaze landed on Li Xie once again, Li Xie was cupping his fists and bowing to him.


    He couldn''t help but raise his eyebrows, thinking that Li Xie was already standing at the edge of the cliff, but he was still able to remain so calm and collected.


    Did Li Xie still think that he could walk out of the guest hall alive? The man wearing the skull mask naturally didn''t think so.


    He would very soon make Li Xie''s eyes filled with fear.


    Li Xie, you have nowhere to run! The man wearing the skull mask said.


    May I ask your honorable name, Senior? What sect or sect did he come from? Li Xie asked calmly.


    Humph! My name is Gu Nan Shan, I am a Sect Leader of the Heavenly Jewel Sect! The man wearing the skull mask said as the corner of his mouth twitched.


    "Ugh ¡­" So it''s the Gu Sect Leader from the Heavenly Jewel Master School, it''s a pleasure to meet you! Li Xie said.


    You should be scared now! Gu Nan Shan reminded him with good intentions.


    Scared? When he finished, Li Xie shook his head.


    Gu Nan Shan glared at him, the anger in his heart igniting, enough to burn Li Xie to ashes.


    If Li Xie kowtowed to him and begged him to forgive him, perhaps he would let Li Xie live for a few more days.


    Since Li Xie didn''t know what was going on with being afraid, he felt that it was necessary to let Li Xie think about it properly.


    Gu Nan Shan''s right hand shook and the Tiger Bone Ring immediately appeared in his hand.


    The Tiger Bone Ring was formed from the bones of a Azure Sun Tiger, and was as hard as a rock!


    Moreover, the weight of the Tiger Bone Ring was far above that of an ordinary sword and saber, but in Gu Nan Shan''s hands, it could be wielded as he wished. It was simply like adding wings to a tiger.


    Gu Nan Shan laughed coldly, then walked closer to Li Xie, his eyes becoming colder and colder.


    Bang!


    Suddenly, Gu Nan Shan leaped and with a leap, he dropped down from the sky and threw the Tiger Bone Circle at Li Xie''s head.


    Clang!


    It was as if the sky had fallen and the earth had split open. The moment the Nine Souls Sword and the tiger bone ring collided, the ground under Li Xie''s feet cracked open, leaving behind a few holes.


    Gu Nan Shan was still continuously using his strength, not giving Li Xie a chance to catch his breath.


    Swoosh!


    Suddenly, Gu Nan Shan raised a dagger in his left hand and stabbed it towards Li Xie''s chest.


    At this moment, Li Xie''s attention was all on the Tiger Bone Circle, Gu Nan Shan was sure that Li Xie would not be able to react, and this was his chance.


    He squinted his eyes as the dagger got closer and closer to Li Xie''s chest.


    Clang!


    Several Sword Qi s rushed towards Gu Nan Shan''s chest, forcing him to immediately retrieve the Tiger Bone Ring and the dagger, and forcing him to retreat a few steps.


    Gu Nan Shan glared at Li Xie. He had already put away his contempt for Li Xie, so he could end the battle quickly.


    Ancient Sect Leader, why do you want to kill me? Li Xie''s face was gloomy as he asked.


    because you actually dared to attack Master Su Family, you are simply seeking your own death! Gu Nan Shan said angrily.


    I have nothing to do with the matter of Master Su Family being kidnapped! Li Xie said.


    Even if it doesn''t matter, I will take your life! Gu Nan Shan''s mouth twitched as he said.


    In the blink of an eye, Gu Nan Shan once again brandished the ring of tiger bones and rushed in front of Li Xie.


    Even if the sky crumbled today, Gu Nan Shan would still want to take Li Xie''s life.


    His disciples were all standing behind him, watching him. With so many commoners outside watching him, this was the day he had longed for so long.


    The tiger bone in Gu Nan Shan''s hand howled, his attack was like the wind.


    Li Xie brandished his Nine Souls Sword, and the ground beneath his feet had become completely unrecognizable.


    The tables and chairs in the surroundings were all torn apart. The first floor of the guest noodle shop was completely empty.


    Gu Nan Shan pressed forward step by step, allowing the Elemental Energy in his body to release as much of its power as it wanted.


    As if he heard Li Xie''s hurried breathing, he couldn''t help but to smile. He felt that Li Xie was already standing at the edge of the cliff.


    Since that was the case, Gu Nan Shan was unwilling to let Li Xie continue struggling.


    Bang!


    Like a stormy sea, the Tiger Bone Ring burned up in Gu Nan Shan''s hands and pounced towards Li Xie.


    Li Xie frowned, he had already reached the point where he had no place to retreat to.


    Since that was the case, Li Xie felt that it was time to let Gu Nan Shan experience his true strength.


    Otherwise, Gu Nan Shan would have thought that he had the upper hand the entire time, while he, Li Xie, was only running for his life.


    Whoosh ¡­


    When the tyrannical Sword Qi swept out, the flames in the Tiger Bone Ring were completely devoured and turned into nothingness.


    Gu Nan Shan frowned. Things happened too fast for him to predict!


    Gu Nanshan tried to stabilize his emotions, but things went against his wishes.


    With a leap, Gu Nan Shan withdrew his Tiger Bone Ring and retreated. He decided to temporarily avoid Li Xie''s sharp edge.


    How could Li Xie let Gu Nan Shan get what he wanted, he had to repay the favor with a tooth for a tooth.


    Li Xie stomped his feet on the ground, and his body was as light as a swallow as he arrived in front of Gu Nan Shan.


    In Gu Nan Shan''s eyes, Li Xie''s body was currently like a mountain.


    Gu Nan Shan couldn''t help but suck in a breath. At this moment, the Elemental Energy s in his body were the only ones left.


    He had never encountered such a situation before, and his mind was immediately thrown into disarray.


    Hiss!


    The Sword Qi rushed towards Gu Nan Shan, and even though Gu Nan Shan had already avoided it, the Sword Qi still unceremoniously cut his right arm.


    Blood flowed down along his right arm, causing Gu Nan Shan''s eyes to turn red.


    Gu Nan Shan clenched his teeth and glared at Li Xie, the anger in his heart burning once again.


    Ah!


    Gu Nan Shan injected all of the Elemental Energy into the tiger bone ring, causing it to instantly expand.


    As if he was being pressed down by a mountain, Gu Nan Shan carried the Tiger Bone Ring and smashed towards Li Xie.


    Bang!


    Under the Tiger Bone Ring''s attack, Li Xie sunk into the ground together with the Nine Souls Sword in his hands.


    The corner of Gu Nan Shan''s mouth twitched. He immediately covered the Tiger Bone Ring completely.

 C125

    Immediately after, Gu Nan Shan pricked up his ears to listen, but he did not hear Li Xie''s screams, even to the point of tearing his lungs out.


    Boom!


    Suddenly, Li Xie rushed out from behind Gu Nan Shan, taking the opportunity and thrusting his sword towards Gu Nan Shan''s back.


    Gu Nan Shan''s figure instantly appeared behind the Tiger Bone Ring. With the Tiger Bone Ring as a barrier, he felt that he would be completely unharmed.


    Gu Nan Shan let out a long sigh of relief. His panicked heartbeat gradually calmed down.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    Li Xie did not retrieve the Nine Souls Sword s, but instead, directly stabbed into the tiger bone circle, like a dragon entering the ocean.


    Gu Nan Shan tilted his head and stared at Li Xie while sneering, and crooked his finger at Li Xie.


    It was very obvious that Gu Nan Shan was mocking Li Xie''s sword for not being able to harm him at all.


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth raised, he did not feel that Gu Nan Shan would be able to smile coldly for long.


    Sect Leader, don''t waste time with him, hurry up and kill him!


    Kill him! Kill him!


    Gu Nan Shan squinted his eyes and stared at Li Xie, under the shouts from the Heavenly Jewel Sect disciples, the Elemental Energy in his body started to boil once again.


    Once again, he felt that he had been too careless just now. As long as he took Li Xie seriously, he would definitely die!


    Li Xie, you will definitely die in my hands today! Gu Nan Shan said coldly.


    Boom!


    Li Xie pushed the Nine Souls Sword forward, and the Nine Souls Sword Sword Qi instantly passed through the tiger bone and arrived under Gu Nan Shan''s nose.


    Gu Nan Shan turned pale with fright, but his legs were no longer listening to him.


    Hiss!


    Several Sword Qi s directly pierced through Gu Nan Shan''s chest, and he immediately collapsed on the ground. His breathing became weaker and weaker, and it was highly possible that he would stop in the next moment.


    As Gu Nan Shan collapsed on the ground, the Tiger Bone Ring instantly restored its original form and rolled to the side.


    Ah!" Everyone attack together! Protect the Sect Leader!


    In a moment, all the Heavenly Jewel Sect disciples pounced towards Li Xie like a pack of wolves, the guest hall following closely behind.


    Dozens of blades were aimed at Li Xie''s vital parts. If Li Xie was just a little bit slower, he would have been covered in wounds.


    Li Xie shook the Nine Souls Sword, and it scattered outwards happily.


    Sword Qi whizzed out, the blade pieces were destroyed one by one, and the Sword Qi then ripped apart the Heavenly Jewel Sect disciples'' bodies without restraint.


    The Heavenly Jewel Master who was furthest from Li Xie saw this and immediately ran backwards, but Sword Qi was the first to arrive in front of him.


    The result was as one might imagine, the Heavenly Jewel Master disciples were all knocked to the ground, their blades rolling to the side.


    The Sword Qi continued moving forward, all the Heavenly Jewel Sect disciples would be affected by it.


    Li Xie walked forward step by step, as he was surrounded by the fallen Heavenly Jewel Master disciples, all of them covered with wounds.


    When Li Xie stopped to stand beside Gu Nan Shan, Gu Nan''s face was already as white as paper.


    Li Xie looked down at Gu Nan Shan. He still had some things he wanted to ask Gu Nan Shan.


    Who exactly was the one that told you I was at the Guest Lodge in the Ancient Sect Leader? Li Xie asked with a straight face.


    I don''t know. I just heard a noise. Gu Nan Shan replied with difficulty.


    Li Xie placed the Nine Souls Sword into the sword sheath on his back. Gu Nan Shan was also just a chess piece on someone else''s chess board.


    As to who the chess player was, Li Xie was filled with anticipation.


    Since he had already been sucked into the whirlpool, he would definitely turn this whirlpool upside down and bring the person who laid out the plan into the whirlpool.


    In the blink of an eye, the bustling Zhong Yuan City once again passed from day to night.


    Whether they were sects or aristocratic families that were related to Su Family, all of them were searching for the whereabouts of Su Ding, not one of them stopping for a moment.


    The rest of the unknown Martial Cultivator s were also busy, the bustle of the Zhong Yuan City becoming even more lively, making them stand out from the masses.


    And within the Zhong Yuan City, Han Jinshan was waiting for news in the study.


    exactly who had the guts to kidnap Su Ding away, and even if they did, it was within the Su Mansion.


    If something were to happen to Su Ding, both his Su Family and his body would become increasingly chaotic.


    The only thing he could do now was to find Su Ding as soon as possible, regardless of the cost.


    Han Jinshan frowned, he had not been in such a hurry to get angry in such a long time.


    Thinking about it, Han Jinshan really couldn''t sit still anymore, so he paced back and forth in the study room.


    His footsteps echoed in the study, making him even more confused.


    Han Jinshan had no choice but to walk to the entrance of the study room and take deep breaths.


    He looked up at the night sky, trying to steady himself in the soft moonlight.


    City Lord!


    Han Jinshan stretched out his gaze. It was the commander of the City Lord''s Mansion guards, Hu Gang.


    Han Jinshan looked at Hu Gang, then walked into the study.


    When Hu Gang walked into the study room, he took the initiative to close the door.


    Hu Gang''s expression was extremely cautious, unlike Hu Gang in the past, which made Han Jinshan think that Hu Gang must have something important to tell him.


    Hu Gang bowed towards Han Jinshan, he was clearly a little reserved.


    Commander Hu, it''s not like this is your first day at City Lord''s Mansion, so why are you being so formal? Han Jinshan raised his eyebrows and said.


    City Master, should we control Li Xie? Hu Gang asked for instructions.


    Han Jinshan frowned, he never thought that Hu Gang would say such a thing, Hu Gang must have thought about it carefully.


    Commander Hu, have you heard some rumors? Han Jinshan asked.


    There are too many rumors outside, and one of them said that Master Su was tied up by you and Li Xie. I think that we should have tied up Li Xie and even killed him to prove his innocence. Hu Gang said.


    Commander Hu, I didn''t expect you to be so stupid! Han Jinshan shouted in anger.


    Hu Gang immediately lowered his head, and trembled, not daring to say another word. Today was the first time he had seen Han Jinshan in a rage.


    Don''t you know that being upright isn''t afraid of shadows? Han Jingshan shouted.


    Plop ¡­


    Hu Gang knelt in front of Han Jingshan, unsure of what to say.


    Alright, hurry up and leave! Han Jinshan turned his back on Hu Gang and said.


    Yes! City Lord! Hu Gang immediately stood up and bowed as he retreated.


    Just as Hu Gang was about to open the door to the study, the door was smashed open and even Hu Gang was sent flying.


    Hu Gang coughed out a mouthful of blood as he fell to the ground, spilling it all over the floor before fainting.


    Han Jinshan glared, it was clear that someone was going to attack him.


    This was even better. Han Jingshan wanted to see who had so much skill and courage.


    He was the master of the Zhong Yuan City, so whether it was prestige or power, he had them all.


    Han Jinshan quickly walked to the door of the study and looked outside. On the roof opposite of him, there were many black-clothed men approaching in full fury, and he was surrounded.


    They stared at Han Jinshan with sinister eyes, waiting to take action.


    Han Jinshan looked at his surroundings, and saw that his City Lord''s Mansion soldiers had all fainted on the ground.


    At this time, Han Jinshan smelled a special fragrance, the fainting of the City Lord''s Mansion soldiers must be because of this special smell.


    This group of people had clearly come prepared, and it seemed that the night sky of City Lord''s Mansion would be dyed red with blood.


    Han Jinshan clenched his right hand into a fist and a thin longsword appeared in his hand.


    It had been a long time since he fought alongside the sword. He had almost forgotten that he was a hot-blooded Martial Cultivator when he was young.


    The longsword in his hand was called the Ten Thousand Wheel Sword, it was a high-grade earth-ranked weapon.


    In the Wind Tactic Continent, weapons were divided into four grades: Sky, Earth, Black and Yellow. The highest grade was Heaven Grade.


    Han Jinshan took a few steps forward, and finally stopped at the empty space in front of the study.


    Whose orders did you all follow? Han Jinshan asked with his loud and clear voice.


    Mayor Han!

 C126

    Before his voice fell, a man wearing a windbreaker descended from the sky and stood in front of Han Jinshan.


    The man in the raincoat cupped his fists and bowed to Han Jinshan, showing his respect for him.


    However, he had appeared to take Han Jinshan''s life, and tonight, even he did not know whether to laugh or cry.


    Han Jinshan sized up the man in the windbreaker. He felt that he had met the man somewhere before, but he just could not remember where.


    Han Jinshan retracted his train of thoughts, and then bowed towards the man in the windbreaker.


    He was the master of the City Lord''s Mansion, and anyone who came to the City Lord''s Mansion would be his guest, regardless of which sect or sect they were from.


    What is your purpose? Han Jinshan asked calmly.


    Our goal is very simple, hand over Old Master Su or give up your life. The trench coat wearing man sneered.


    Don''t I have a third option? Han Jinshan complained.


    Unfortunately, there was no other option. The man in the windbreaker said.


    Can you tell me your name? Han Jinshan slowly asked.


    Of course I can, my name is Duan Shaoyang! The man in the windbreaker replied.


    Bring it on! Han Jinshan raised his left hand, indicating Duan Shaoyang to make the first move.


    Since Han Jinshan was so courteous, Duan Shaoyang did not know how to respect his elders.


    Like a torrential storm, when Duan Shaoyang rushed in front of him, all of his fists landed on Han Jinshan''s body.


    Han Jinshan staggered backwards, blood flowing out from the corner of his mouth.


    After that, Duan Shaoyang flew into the air and kicked Han Jinshan away, the current Han Jinshan was like a heavy log.


    Duan Shaoyang shook his head, he realized that he had overestimated Han Jinshan.


    Bang!


    After Han Jinshan landed, he immediately used his left hand to prop himself up. Duan Shaoyang''s attack was too fast, and he did not expect it.


    Now, he already knew that Duan Shaoyang''s skills were not bad, but he still felt that there was a possibility for him to fight against him.


    Han Jinshan quickly rushed in front of Duan Shaoyang and stabbed the Thousand Wheel Sword into Duan Shaoyang''s chest, the blade edge releasing a cold light.


    Even if he were to die tonight, he would die standing.


    Duan Shaoyang clenched both his fists again, and a wave of dense Elemental Energy pounced towards Han Jinshan, like a hot knife through butter.


    Han Jinshan frowned, he did not have the time to put away the Ten Thousand Wheel Sword and retreat, he was immediately flipped over by the Elemental Energy that was swung out by Duan Shaoyang.


    After falling to the ground, Han Jinshan''s entire face had been pinched together, but he did not scream out in pain.


    Han Jinshan raised his head and looked at Duan Shaoyang, obviously Duan Shaoyang had not used his full strength yet.


    Suddenly, Han Jinshan felt that he was old, and the Ten Thousand Wheel Sword in his hand became dull as well, no longer as sharp as before.


    Duan Shaoyang did not take the opportunity to give chase. Instead, he indicated for Han Jinshan to stand up quickly.


    Han Jinshan clenched his teeth and slowly stood up. At this moment, he was still maintaining his dignity as the City Lord of Zhong Yuan City.


    Bang!


    Duan Shaoyang''s figure flashed and brushed past Han Jinshan''s shoulder, but he was once again sent flying, as if he had been smashed in the chest by a huge boulder.


    The wind whistled by Han Jinshan''s ears, causing his vision to blur.


    Han Jinshan relied on his instincts to thrust the Ten Thousand Wheel Sword downwards, all the way until the Ten Thousand Wheel Sword was stabbed into the ground, allowing Han Jinshan to stabilize his footsteps.


    Han Jinshan stretched his line of sight forward, and did not see where Duan Shaoyang stood.


    At this time, Han Jinshan heard his own heartbeat, and it became more and more urgent.


    Mayor Han!


    Han Jinshan turned around and saw Duan Shaoyang standing firmly behind him.


    Duan Shaoyang raised his fist and struck Han Jinshan''s chest, causing him to instantly fall down.


    Bang!


    When Han Jinshan fell to the ground once again, the ground beside him had already cracked and changed beyond recognition.


    Duan Shaoyang quickly walked to Han Jinshan''s side. The current Han Jinshan was in a terrible situation, he no longer had the aura of a city lord.


    The Ten Thousand Wheel Sword in his hand could not even get close to Duan Shaoyang, it was no different from the air.


    Duan Shaoyang bent down and stretched out his hands to help Han Jinshan up, causing his body to sway for a good while before he managed to stabilize himself.


    Mayor Han, where exactly are you hiding Old Man Su? Duan Shaoyang asked harshly.


    How could I kidnap Su Ding! Han Jinshan said with a dark face.


    Humph! The corner of Duan Shaoyang''s mouth twitched, and he immediately extended his left hand to pinch Han Jinshan''s neck, before lifting him up.


    Han Jinshan''s face instantly flushed red, the Ten Thousand Wheel Sword in his hand dropped to the ground.


    Even so, Han Jinshan still stared widely at Duan Shaoyang, his aura returning to normal.


    Quickly release Mayor Han!


    Duan Shaoyang looked over, only to see a young Martial Cultivator with a sword tied to his back, surprisingly appearing.


    This young Martial Cultivator was Li Xie. He had just returned to the City Lord''s Mansion from the outside and the scene before him caused him to be greatly shocked.


    The corner of Duan Shaoyang''s mouth raised, as he took the opportunity to lightly toss Han Jinshan out.


    Right now, all of his attention was on Li Xie, and only Li Xie had the power to fight him.


    He had long heard of all sorts of rumors regarding Li Xie. Li Xie had fought with Young Noble Su, Dongfang Jianyun and the others before.


    Li Xie leaped up, and then, steadily stood in front of Duan Shaoyang.


    Li Xie glanced at Han Jinshan from the corner of his eyes. Seeing Han Jinshan''s body covered with wounds, it could be seen that Duan Shaoyang''s cultivation was not low.


    With Zhong Yuan City so strong, it was obviously a place where crouching tigers and hidden dragons could be found.


    I assume you are Li Xie? Are you here to die? Duan Shaoyang said with a smile.


    Of course I''m not here to die. Li Xie replied calmly.


    Humph! Don''t be a toad trying to eat a swan. As long as Lord Su is rescued, Miss Su Family is mine! Duan Shaoyang said.


    Miss Su Family might not even have her eyes on you! Li Xie said.


    Are you trying to infuriate me? Well, congratulations, you''ve done it! Duan Shaoyang punched towards Li Xie''s chest.


    Li Xie tilted his body, trying to let Duan Shaoyang''s fist pass by, but unexpectedly, Duan Shaoyang''s fist still landed on his chest.


    After being struck by Duan Shaoyang''s fist, Li Xie could not help but take a few steps back.


    Just as Li Xie stabilized his legs, Duan Shaoyang jumped up and threw a punch towards his skull.


    Duan Shaoyang''s fist was his weapon, harder than profound iron.


    Li Xie reached out his left hand to grab Duan Shaoyang''s fist, but the palm of Li Xie''s left hand seemed to have been burned by the blazing sun, causing him to have no choice but to withdraw it.


    The corner of Duan Shaoyang''s mouth twitched, and he thought that Li Xie was actually only so-so.


    Like a torrential storm, Duan Shaoyang punched at Li Xie''s vitals again and again, fiercely and tyrannically.


    Li Xie dodged, immediately causing Duan Shaoyang''s attack to return without any result.


    Duan Shaoyang flew into a rage, and immediately, the Elemental Energy s in his body rushed into his fists.


    At this moment, his fists were enough to split open a mountain and break a rock.


    Li Xie, use all your strength now! Duan Shaoyang roared.


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth raised. Since Duan Shaoyang had already given such a cordial invitation, he naturally could not disappoint him.


    Swift as the wind, Li Xie raised his Nine Souls Sword and fiercely thrusted towards Duan Shaoyang''s heart.


    Duan Shaoyang laughed coldly. He waited until the blade of the Nine Souls Sword was an inch away from him before he extended his left hand to grab onto it.


    The of the Nine Souls Sword moved out horizontally, pouncing towards Duan Shaoyang in unison.


    Duan Shaoyang raised his brows. All of Li Xie''s moves were within his expectations.


    "Whiz!"

 C127

    Under the control of Duan Shaoyang''s thoughts, the windbreaker behind him surrounded him. No matter how hard the Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi attacked, it could not harm him in the slightest.


    Duan Shaoyang grinned, as though everything was under his control, this feeling was very good.


    With a leap, Duan Shaoyang''s figure flashed and appeared behind Li Xie.


    As if Flood Dragon Goes to Sea, Duan Shaoyang punched Li Xie''s back.


    Li Xie flicked his Nine Souls Sword behind him, and the Sword Qi pounced towards Duan Shaoyang''s fist.


    Bang! Bang!


    Duan Shaoyang''s fist and the Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi clashed head on, and his voice resonated in the air.


    Duan Shaoyang''s offense was overbearing, and Li Xie was not willing to give way!


    Be careful! Han Jinshan shouted loudly, his heart was already in his throat.


    Swoosh!


    Duan Shaoyang''s fist was only a hair''s breadth away from Li Xie''s chest. What was even more powerful was Duan Shaoyang''s pair of vicious eyes, which was enough to make one''s soul tremble.


    Li Xie retreated back hurriedly, but Duan Shaoyang''s fist had always been in front of his eyes, like a pack of wild wolves.


    At that moment, Duan Shaoyang could already see Li Xie''s heart-wrenching expression, which was extremely interesting.


    No one who was blocking in front of him could stay. This was Duan Shaoyang''s obsession.


    Hiss!


    Li Xie waved the Nine Souls Sword forward, and the Sword Qi surged out again.


    Duan Shaoyang clenched his teeth tightly, because the impact of the Sword Qi was even stronger this time.


    However, he had already made his preparations. He only hoped that Li Xie would be able to attack with his full strength.


    Ah!


    Duan Shaoyang roared, and the blood in his body immediately boiled.


    Boom!


    Duan Shaoyang''s face twitched, and then he acted like a giant tree that had been uprooted, completely contrary to his expectations.


    At this time, Duan Shaoyang felt himself floating in the air, he reached out with both hands to grab onto something, but he could not grab onto anything, everything was empty.


    Duan Shaoyang clenched his fists tightly, but he was still unable to control his own body.


    The voice of the Sword Qi howled beside Duan Shaoyang like a shadow.


    Duan Shaoyang extended his line of sight forward, but all that was in front of him was darkness.


    Bang!


    As Duan Shaoyang fell from the sky, his mind was already in such a state that it was unable to return to how it was before.


    Duan Shaoyang had always been the victor of Duan Shaoyang''s match since he was young, and tonight was the first time he had lost to someone else. He simply could not endure it.


    He breathed heavily, trying to keep his emotions in check.


    Gradually, the Sword Qi''s whistling sound, which was like a shadow following its body, stopped.


    Duan Shaoyang used both hands to support himself as he instantly stood up. He stared intently at Li Xie, and then revealed a grimace.


    With Li Xie''s mental strength at the Martial Cultivator, being able to harm him made him cry out in surprise.


    But Duan Shaoyang had already decided to give it his all. He believed that Li Xie would quickly kneel in front of him and kowtow while begging for forgiveness.


    Come back to me! Duan Shaoyang raised his hands and shouted loudly.


    Phew... Phew... Phew...


    The black clothed man on the roof of the City Lord''s Mansion transformed into a strand of Elemental Energy and rushed into Duan Shaoyang''s body, instantly filling Duan Shaoyang with energy.


    Now that he had kept all the Elemental Energy, he was excited once again.


    He put down his hands and stared coldly at Li Xie as if he was looking at a corpse.


    It was just a warm-up! Duan Shaoyang shrugged his shoulders and said.


    Under Duan Shaoyang''s attentive gaze, Li Xie approached him with the Nine Souls Sword in his hands.


    Duan Shaoyang raised his brows, he actually still could not see a trace of panic in Li Xie''s eyes.


    The corner of Duan Shaoyang''s mouth twitched. After he recalled all the Elemental Energy that had been flung out, his cultivation of Martial Cultivator returned to the mid stage of the Burning Realm.


    He felt that as long as he moved his pinky, Li Xie would be unable to turn his body.


    Die!


    As fast as lightning, Duan Shaoyang punched towards Li Xie''s heart.


    Duan Shaoyang''s punches were extremely powerful, his fists were burning with flames.


    As long as Li Xie was struck once, he would immediately be smashed into pieces, and would no longer have the power to retaliate.


    "Whiz!"


    Dozens of Sword Qi surged towards Duan Shaoyang once again. Duan Shaoyang sneered, and continued to swing his fist forward.


    Following that was the sound of Sword Qi being shattered. When it entered Duan Shaoyang''s ears, he felt that it was very pleasant to listen to.


    With Nine Souls Sword in hand, Li Xie instantly appeared behind Duan Shaoyang. Duan Shaoyang''s attacks were even more powerful than before.


    Duan Shaoyang turned and glared at Li Xie as a wave of strong Elemental Energy rushed towards him.


    Li Xie waved his Nine Souls Sword, and the Elemental Energy that was pouncing towards him disappeared in a puff of smoke.


    At this time, Duan Shaoyang fiercely punched the ground with his left fist, causing a hole to appear in the ground beneath Li Xie''s feet.


    "Whiz!"


    Duan Shaoyang''s figure suddenly disappeared without a trace in a flash. When Li Xie heard Duan Shaoyang''s voice, he was already right above him.


    Clang!


    The Nine Souls Sword and Duan Shaoyang''s left fist collided, and thunder roared and flashed in the night sky.


    The corner of Duan Shaoyang''s mouth twitched, and he took the chance to punch his left fist towards Li Xie''s head.


    Just this was not enough, Duan Shaoyang reached out his right hand to grab the Nine Souls Sword and pulled it outwards.


    Although the sword edge of the Nine Souls Sword was extremely sharp, Duan Shaoyang did not care.


    The Elemental Energy continued to burn inside Duan Shaoyang''s body, causing him to be indefatigable.


    Duan Shaoyang, on the other hand, felt that Li Xie was a little tired, and was just one step away from collapse.


    Li Xie injected a wave of Elemental Energy into the Nine Souls Sword and dozens of Sword Qi s pounced towards Duan Shaoyang. However, his clothes were enough to block the rotation of the Sword Qi for him.


    Ah!


    Following Duan Shaoyang''s explosive roar, the City Lord''s Mansion instantly shook the entire mountain.


    Bang!


    Duan Shaoyang raised his leg and kicked Li Xie in the chest, causing Li Xie to instantly fly out.


    Without waiting for Li Xie to laugh, Duan Shaoyang swung his fist again! It was as fast as lightning!


    Bang!


    When the dust settled, Duan Shaoyang realized that Li Xie was already more than ten steps away from him.


    Li Xie was already injured. The Elemental Energy had exhausted so much of its energy, yet it could still dodge his attack this quickly, which made him a little surprised.


    Duan Shaoyang turned and glared at Li Xie, his killing intent rushing to his front.


    Duan Shaoyang raised both his hands, and under his orders, all the stones and weapons from the City Lord''s Mansion ran over to Li Xie''s side, surrounding him.


    Just then, Han Jinshan held onto his Ten Thousand Wheel Sword and rushed towards Duan Shaoyang.


    Duan Shaoyang turned his head to glance at Han Jinshan, and Han Jinshan was immediately pushed to the ground by the Elemental Energy.


    A mouthful of blood spurted out from his throat as Han Jinshan fainted, pale white.


    Li Xie, enjoy the last moment of your life! Duan Shaoyang roared.


    Boom ¡­


    All of the stones and weapons within the City Lord''s Mansion rushed towards Li Xie under his control.


    Duan Shaoyang closed his eyes, waiting to hear Li Xie''s screams.


    But Duan Shaoyang did not get what he wanted. When he closed his eyes, what actually came out was the furious roar of a Sword Qi that seemed to shatter the earth and mountains.


    Duan Shaoyang immediately opened his eyes, the Sword Qi spiralling all around him.


    All the stones and weapons within the City Lord''s Mansion that had charged towards Li Xie just now had already been turned into ashes by the rapid speed of the Sword Qi.


    Duan Shaoyang sucked in a cold breath of air. He had never expected that Li Xie would still be alive at this point.


    Rumble rumble rumble!


    Under the impact of the Sword Qi''s attack that was extremely powerful, Duan Shaoyang''s windbreaker had already started to gradually lose its luster.


    Duan Shaoyang''s eyebrows could not help but knit together, the power behind his fists started to lessen unknowingly.

 C128

    Although Duan Shaoyang had been controlling the Elemental Energy in his body, the results were minimal. He realized that he could no longer control the initiative anymore.


    Boom!


    Just like a raging wave, Duan Shaoyang was directly flung out, without any strength to retaliate.


    Duan Shaoyang tried to stabilize himself, but he failed.


    At this point, Duan Shaoyang was no longer able to hear the sound of his own breathing, and all he could hear were the furious roars of the Sword Qi.


    Duan Shaoyang''s vision became completely blurry, he was unable to discern his position, and even more so, he did not know where he was headed to.


    He felt that he had already left the City Lord''s Mansion and arrived in an extremely cold place.


    This was the first time Duan Shaoyang had tasted such a sensation.


    Duan Shaoyang tried to stabilize his emotions, but he was already unable to change anything.


    Ah!


    As Duan Shaoyang fell from mid air, layer after layer of dust covered his body, he was no longer able to move.


    Even if Duan Shaoyang still had the Elemental Energy in his body, he would not be able to unleash it.


    Be it his chest or his four limbs, all of them had received an attack, and the numbness in his entire body had already numbed Duan Shaoyang.


    After a long while, the furious roars of the Sword Qi slowly dispersed and Duan Shaoyang''s line of sight gradually became clear.


    Duan Shaoyang immediately looked around. At this very moment, the place he was truly at was no longer within the City Lord''s Mansion of the Zhong Yuan City.


    Duan Shaoyang''s five senses were twisted together and his emotions were thrown into disarray.


    Under the cover of layers of dust, he was like a sapling that had been planted deep within a tree. His hands, however, could still move slightly.


    The darkness of the night was still lingering outside the city and the cries of the Strange Beast continued to resound from there.


    At this time, a pair of cold yet familiar footsteps floated along with the wind to Duan Shaoyang''s ears.


    Duan Shaoyang looked towards the direction where the footsteps were coming from, and sure enough, it was Li Xie.


    Li Xie held onto the Nine Souls Sword, but his eyes did not reveal any killing intent.


    When Li Xie walked to Duan Shaoyang''s side, he saw a trace of unwillingness in Duan Shaoyang''s eyes, but it was not enough to cover up the gloominess in Duan Shaoyang''s eyes.


    Duan Shaoyang tried his best to smile, he did not want to see the complacent smile on Li Xie''s face.


    But he had underestimated Li Xie, so Li Xie did not feel that defeating him was something worth being proud of.


    Duan Shaoyang, just whose subordinate are you? Li Xie looked at Duan Shaoyang and asked.


    Do you think I would? Duan Shaoyang glanced at Li Xie and asked a question in reply.


    Are you sure you won''t tell? Li Xie squatted beside Duan Shaoyang and asked again.


    If he wanted to kill, he would kill. If he wanted to cut her up, he would cut her up! Duan Shaoyang resolutely replied.


    Since Duan Shaoyang had already said so, Li Xie was not going to give him a chance to live.


    It was already the middle of the night, so the Strange Beast in the forest must be hungry.


    With Duan Shaoyang''s body, it would be enough for a few Strange Beast s to fill their stomachs. Let''s just treat it as Duan Shaoyang''s compensation, for his hands to be drenched in blood.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    Li Xie''s speed of swinging the sword was very fast, Duan Shaoyang''s Martial Veins were instantly cut, without a single trace remaining.


    Duan Shaoyang clenched his teeth tightly, just to not let himself scream out in pain.


    But a pair of cold hands closed around his throat, choking him.


    Duan Shaoyang could clearly feel the Elemental Energy in his body dissipating. He wanted to reach out and grab them with his hands, but he couldn''t do it.


    Duan Shaoyang turned his face to look at Li Xie, but there was still no emotion in his eyes.


    Even if you didn''t tell me, I could still find him! Li Xie said resolutely.


    Even though I lost to you, his strength is far above mine. I can''t even compare to a single thumb of his. Duan Shaoyang said lifelessly.


    Since you said so, I want to see his elegance even more! Li Xie said as the corner of his mouth rose.


    Li Xie, you must be crazy! Duan Shaoyang said in fear.


    Close your eyes and rest for a while. The Strange Beast will follow your bloody scent and find your way here soon. Li Xie said.


    Ah ¡­ No... Duan Shaoyang glared, immediately biting his tongue to commit suicide.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows. Duan Shaoyang''s personality had left a deep impression on him.


    Several hours later, the day once again arrived at the bustling Zhong Yuan City, the sunlight had already sprinkled all over the ground.


    Many commoners had already prepared to move away from the Zhong Yuan City last night.


    And inside the Zhong Yuan City, Han Jinshan was organizing the City Lord''s Mansion together with the City Lord''s Mansion warriors and servants.


    After last night''s destruction, the City Lord''s Mansion was no longer the same face and it no longer had its former majesty.


    A large section of the house had been emptied. The ground was filled with knife marks and sword marks, which varied greatly in their profoundness.


    Not only that, Han Jinshan saw a look of worry on the face of the patrolling officers.


    City Lord''s Mansion was no longer the safest place within Zhong Yuan City City, which was only second to Su Mansion.


    Han Jinshan sighed, his wounds had not recovered yet, but he was not worried about anything.


    Every sect and clan of the Zhong Yuan City were moving. Some were looking for the whereabouts of Su Ding, while others were thinking of ways to deal with him.


    From now on, Han Jinshan would have to be on his guard against even those who were a bit old following him.


    Actually, he already knew that there were many different sects and families in the City Lord''s Mansion, and right now, their masters would definitely ask them to do something.


    Following the sound of footsteps from afar, Han Jinshan looked over.


    The ones walking towards him were Li Xie and Sun Pei, who immediately walked over without any hesitation.


    When Han Jinshan stood in front of Li Xie, he immediately saluted and thanked him.


    Young Master Li, last night was really all thanks to you, otherwise I would already be in the Underworld. Han Jinshan frowned and said.


    Mayor Han, no need to thank me! Li Xie cupped his fist and bowed towards Han Jingshan, and said.


    Young Master Li, Miss Sun, let me speak with you. Right after he finished speaking, Han Jinshan walked quickly towards the study room.


    Li Xie and Sun Pei followed closely behind Han Jinshan as they walked towards the direction of the study.


    After last night''s devastation, the City Lord''s Mansion''s study room lost its former elegance.


    When Han Jinshan and Li Xie both entered the study, Han Jinshan swung his right arm and a door made from Elemental Energy s astonishingly appeared.


    Han Jinshan''s expression became a little solemn. He was about to say something very important.


    He could not allow this matter to spread to the ears of the fourth person, or else he would be doomed to eternal damnation.


    Han Jinshan turned and looked at Li Xie and Sun Pei. He saw a trace of doubt in their eyes.


    Young Master Li, whose subordinate do you think Duan Shaoyang is? Han Jinshan suddenly asked.


    I don''t know, I don''t know much about the big powers in the Zhong Yuan City City. Li Xie said calmly.


    I feel that the only person who can order Duan Shaoyang to act for him is Su Ding! Han Jinshan said. His voice was very soft, but his tone was very heavy.


    Han Jinshan''s words surprised both Li Xie and his. Didn''t Su Ding get kidnapped? How could he order Duan Shaoyang to act for him?


    City Lord Han, do you mean that Old Master Su was not kidnapped by anyone and all of this was his scheme? Li Xie asked with rapt attention.


    Mn, that''s right, Su Ding did this because he wanted to let all the major powers in Zhong Yuan City City kill each other. Han Jinshan nodded and said.


    Li Xie frowned. If it was really like this, then it could be seen how dark and terrifying Su Ding''s thoughts were.

 C129

    Furthermore, he had even pulled Su Mian into his trap. Could he really give up his daughter for the sake of Su Family? Was Su Ding that cold-blooded and merciless?


    Although Li Xie and Su Ding had met once and exchanged a few words, Li Xie still could not see through him.


    Li Xie sighed to himself. If this continued, the flourishing Zhong Yuan City would never return.


    The more Li Xie thought about it, the more his head hurt, he could only stop thinking about it.


    City Lord Han, did you sense something? Li Xie asked.


    With Su Ding''s cautious personality, he definitely would not have been kidnapped within the Su Mansion! Han Jinshan said resolutely.


    Li Xie and Sun Pei exchanged glances, they both felt that Han Jinshan''s suspicions were reasonable.


    However, the risk of Su Ding doing this was too great, and if the situation got out of his control, his Su Family would suffer as well.


    Could it be that the talented were bold? Ordinary people would not dare to do such a thing.


    Mayor Han, what should we do next? Li Xie asked.


    Let''s just wait and see. Let''s not panic yet. Han Jinshan supported his cheek, and said.


    Mayor Han, you have to be extra careful. It''s best if you don''t leave the City Lord''s Mansion easily. Li Xie reminded.


    Well, I know that. Han Jinshan reached out and patted Li Xie''s shoulder, and said.


    At this moment, in the entire Zhong Yuan City, it seemed that the only person Han Jinshan could trust was Li Xie.


    Brother Li, you have to be careful! Sun Pei looked at Li Xie and said.


    Last night, during the battle between Li Xie and the black clothed man, Li Xie was covered in wounds and was unable to fully recover.


    Maybe someone would take the opportunity to attack Li Xie, and when that time came, would sink into the mud while the other side had too many people.


    Li Xie nodded towards Sun Pei, he did not want Sun Pei to worry about him.


    He would stay in the City Lord''s Mansion for the next two days, unless the sky above the Zhong Yuan City crumbled, then he would finally be able to walk out.


    Young Master Li, Miss Sun, speaking of this, I am also ashamed. I have been the City Lord of Zhong Yuan City for so long, and the only people I can trust now are you two. Han Jinshan sighed.


    Mayor Han, the situation isn''t that bad, right? Sun Pei said.


    Un, maybe I am really tired, but I feel weak now. Han Jinshan said.


    Li Xie gazed at Han Jinshan, and the feeling he got from Han Jinshan was as old as a dozen years.


    The Han Jinshan in his memory was not like this, could it be just because of Su Ding? Or was it because he felt that he was unable to control the Zhong Yuan City?


    Li Xie really wanted to ask for a clear answer, but it was clear that this was not the time.


    In the blink of an eye, the enormous Zhong Yuan City once again fell into the embrace of the night sky, but there were no starlight twinkling in the night sky.


    Han Jinshan was pacing back and forth in the backyard of City Lord''s Mansion, his worries still lingering in his mind.


    He had already sent out all of his power to search for the whereabouts of Su Ding, but Su Ding was like a stone that had sunk into the ocean;


    At this very moment, the noble master of Zhong Yuan City, Han Jinshan, was very uncertain and empty in his heart.


    This feeling was not good. It was as if two hands could suddenly appear and pinch his throat at any moment.


    Han Jinshan stopped and looked around him. The patrolling soldiers were long gone.


    Before this, he had never felt his City Lord''s Mansion to be this empty, it was hard to even find someone to talk to, and only now did he realize that he did not have any reliable helpers.


    He relied too much on Su Family, and now that he was in such a passive situation, it was extremely difficult for him to turn the situation around.


    Han Jinshan let out a long sigh as his eyebrows knitted together once again.


    "Whiz!"


    A stream of air rushed towards Han Jinshan''s back. Han Jinshan immediately turned around and reached out his hand to grab the air current that was charging towards him.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    The flow of air disappeared, leaving behind a few words that shone on Han Jinshan''s palm.


    Han Jingshan immediately opened up the words in his palm and looked them over. He immediately frowned.


    The line on his palm was the thing he was most interested in, but it was clearly a trap, and he had no choice but to take the risk.


    Since that was the case, Han Jinshan felt that he no longer had any choice but to go all out.


    When Han Jinshan clenched his fists, the words on his palm also disappeared.


    Taking advantage of the moonlight, Han Jinshan immediately walked out of the City Lord''s Mansion city with hurried steps.


    There were a few tall and short hills north of the city located outside of Zhong Yuan City City.


    The people from the Zhong Yuan City all called this place a mountain pile, so normally, very few people would come here.


    Under the night sky, the mountain was especially quiet. The wind was blowing back and forth, blowing away the restlessness of the summer.


    Trees grew in the mountains, but no towering trees.


    When Han Jinshan rushed to the mountains, there were already a few Martial Cultivator dressed in white who were waiting for him.


    They turned and stared at Han Jinshan, their eyes filled with amazement.


    Han Jinshan really came, and was even coming here alone, looking as if he had come prepared.


    As long as they could bring Han Jinshan to that place, they could make their report.


    Han Jinshan walked step by step in front of them, then casually placed his hands behind him.


    Mayor Han, we will entertain you well! One of the white clothed Martial Cultivator s said with a smile.


    Oh, how can I entertain you properly? Han Jinshan asked with interest.


    Didn''t you really want to see Old Master Su? We''ll take you to him now! The Martial Cultivator in white said.


    Well, I hope you''re not lying to me. Han Jinshan slowly said.


    Mayor Han, please come with me! The white-clothed Martial Cultivator made a gesture to welcome him.


    Han Jinshan followed closely behind the white clothed Martial Cultivator s as they walked forward. They passed through a patch of forest and finally entered a door that was glowing with light.


    When everyone had entered the glowing door, the glowing door closed behind them and disappeared, leaving no trace behind.


    After a while, Li Xie arrived at the pile of mountains, and looked around for traces of Han Jinshan.


    When he found out that Han Jinshan was walking alone towards the north of the city, he immediately rushed over.


    If anything happened to Han Jinshan, his Zhong Yuan City would truly be destroyed.


    Li Xie held the Nine Souls Sword tightly in his hands, cautious of any dangers that might appear at any moment.


    The mountain range was not very large, so Li Xie was able to quickly search through it, but he did not see any trace of Han Jinshan.


    Li Xie stood on top of the tallest mountain in the mountains and surveyed his surroundings.


    How could Han Jinshan just disappear like that? Could it be that there was something in the mountain that he couldn''t see?


    At this very moment, Li Xie''s heart was already shrouded with all kinds of suspicions.


    With his personality, he would find Han Jinshan even if he had to dig three feet into the mountains.


    Whoosh ¡­ Whoosh ¡­


    In the blink of an eye, numerous middle-aged Martial Cultivator descended from the sky and landed beside Li Xie.


    As they emerged with murderous intent that blotted out the sky and covered the earth, the moonlight hid itself in the clouds.


    Several middle-aged Martial Cultivator s had come in full fury. All of them wore extravagant clothes, and their mouths revealed faint smiles.


    Just now, when they received the news that Li Xie was in the mountains, they immediately rushed over.


    They were not Duan Shaoyang, if Li Xie had been staying in the City Lord''s Mansion the entire time, they would not have ignored everything and charged into the City Lord''s Mansion.

 C130

    Now that Li Xie was in the mountains, their chance had come.


    Li Xie, the mountain is a treasure trove of feng shui, you truly have good eyes! One of the round faced middle-aged Martial Cultivator squinted his eyes and said.


    What do you mean by that? Li Xie asked as the corner of his mouth rose.


    Hehe, this place is very suitable for you to be my grave! The round faced Martial Cultivator laughed and said.


    Cough, so that''s what you mean. It''s a pity that I haven''t lived enough! Li Xie said.


    No, just by looking at you, I can tell that you are a short-lived person. The goatee middle-aged Martial Cultivator stared at Li Xie and spoke coldly.


    After the other Martial Cultivator s heard what the middle aged Martial Cultivator with a goatee said, they laughed until they rolled back and forth, almost rolling down the mountain.


    Who the hell are you? Li Xie''s face was gloomy as he asked.


    Li Xie, you better listen up, we are all reputable figures, I am the Black Crane Gang''s Sect Leader, Huang Qing! The round faced middle-aged Martial Cultivator said arrogantly.


    I am the Sect Leader of the Long River Sect, Zhang Nian! The middle aged Martial Cultivator with a goatee spoke with an imposing manner that shot through the sky like a rainbow.


    I am the Sect Leader of the Sixth Palace, Zhu He!


    I am the Sect Master of the Sky Wings Clan, Zhuge Feng!


    Li Xie smiled indifferently, they were all truly famous figures, all of them were from the Sect Leader s of their sects.


    Li Xie felt honored to have all these people act in person.


    However, this did not mean that he would surrender. His fighting spirit had already been ignited, and was enough to flatten the entire mountain.


    Li Xie, could it be that you want to exchange a few more moves with us seniors? Huang Qing asked harshly.


    You''re right, that''s exactly what I meant! Li Xie said calmly.


    Haha! Well, I was trying to figure out how much you''ve got! Zhang Nian said after laughing maniacally.


    Smelly brat, you actually dare to make a move on Old Master Su. Perhaps you are really ignorant to the point that you don''t even know how to write the word ''die''! Zhuge Feng roared!


    I have nothing to do with Old Master Su being kidnapped! Li Xie said with a sonorous and powerful voice.


    Humph! Die!


    As if a fierce tiger had come out of its cage, Zhuge Feng summoned her long spear and thrust it towards Li Xie''s chest.


    The others who were standing not far away crossed their arms in front of their chest as they watched quietly. They all thought that letting Zhuge Feng take care of Li Xie was more than enough.


    Zhuge Feng''s attacks were like the wind, immediately causing the ground around Li Xie to be ripped apart as killing intent continued to spread.


    As spear flowers bloomed, Li Xie could barely keep his eyes open.


    Zhuge Feng took the chance and suddenly jumped up, fiercely thrusting her spear towards Li Xie''s neck, like a dragon heading out to sea.


    The corner of Zhuge Feng''s mouth twitched. He was waiting to hear Li Xie''s screams. It would definitely be very pleasant to listen to!


    In front of the Sect Leader s of their sect, Zhuge Feng obviously wanted to display her elegance and further solidify her future position in Zhong Yuan City.


    Zhong Yuan City were no longer the Zhong Yuan City of the past. All powers would have the chance to reprove their own strengths.


    The head of Li Xie was his stepping stone, Zhuge Feng would not let him miss it.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    Zhuge Feng glared and Li Xie actually raised his Nine Souls Sword to face the spear in his hands.


    The corner of Zhuge Feng''s mouth twitched. He definitely wouldn''t allow a duck that was cooked to fly away. This would make others laugh until their teeth fell off.


    It was like a violent storm once again. Zhuge Feng waved the spear so tightly that it seemed as if it could pierce the wind. The spear flowers bloomed brilliantly one after another.


    Li Xie used his agile figure to move back and forth, causing Zhuge Feng''s attack to disappear.


    Zhuge Feng was instantly enraged. She inwardly praised that this brat, Li Xie, who was still wet behind the ears, was still so capable, but she would not put him in her eyes.


    Zhuge Feng glared and the Elemental Energy in his body started to burn.


    Zhuge Feng gripped her spear tightly and swung it towards Li Xie viciously.


    At this moment, Zhuge Feng''s eyes were red from killing. She went all out.


    Clang!


    After a loud sound, Zhuge Feng felt her arms going numb, and it even spread to her whole body bit by bit.


    He stared at Li Xie. Some things were beyond his expectations, but he actually saw a relaxed and carefree look in Li Xie''s eyes.


    Zhuge Feng took in a deep breath. Li Xie''s strength had already exceeded his imagination.


    However, he was no longer able to turn back. He could only deal with Li Xie with the mindset of going down together, maybe he would have the chance to clear the clouds and see the clear sky.


    Sect Leader Zhuge, if you''re tired, come back quickly! Zhu He shouted.


    That''s right, by all means, don''t throw your life away! Zhang Nian advised.


    The corner of Zhuge Feng''s mouth twitched. He instantly felt that he was full of energy and was brimming with fighting spirit.


    Suddenly, Zhuge Feng pulled the spear back and pierced it towards Li Xie''s chest.


    It was so powerful that even an adult ox would be chopped in half and sent tumbling down a mountain.


    Killing intent filled the air above the mountains, and crows began to hover nearby.


    Clang!


    Zhuge Feng turned pale with fright. The long spear in his hand was broken into two pieces.


    Li Xie took the chance and jumped up, and kicked towards Zhuge Feng''s chest. Zhuge Feng was sent flying like a heavy log.


    After Zhuge Feng landed heavily on the ground, blood had already dyed his face red and he immediately fainted.


    Huang Qing and the rest clenched their fists as they looked at Zhuge Feng, who had fainted.


    They had underestimated Li Xie earlier, and now they decided to attack together. This way, they could definitely send Li Xie on his way.


    They turned to look at Li Xie, and the killing intent in their eyes could already be seen.


    They all called out their shining blades and held them tightly in their hands, then pointed it at Li Xie''s chest.


    You want to bully me with your numbers? Li Xie raised his eyebrows and said.


    Hehe, so what? Huang Qing sneered.


    Very well, I can take care of both! Li Xie said calmly.


    Ah!" Smelly brat, you''re about to die! Huang Qing took the lead and pounced towards Li Xie.


    Zhu He and Zhang Nian followed closely behind. The light and shadows of their swords intensified.


    Huang Qing and the rest stood around Li Xie, slashing towards his vitals with their blades.


    Li Xie could only focus on scattering the Nine Souls Sword. As long as he was distracted even a little, Huang Qing and the rest would definitely grab the opportunity.


    At this moment, Huang Qing and the rest were like fierce tigers, opening their bloody mouths.


    The blade tip whistled, causing the trees beside Li Xie to crumble.


    At this moment, the Elemental Energy s in Huang Qing and the rest''s bodies were extremely abundant, so naturally, their movements were swift and fierce.


    They predicted that as long as the three of them moved their pinky, they would be able to pinch Li Xie to death.


    They were extremely excited, because there weren''t many Martial Cultivator that could make them interested in helping him at the same time.


    The blade tip hovered beside Li Xie, causing deep shallow cuts to appear on his arms.


    Li Xie held onto the Nine Souls Sword''s sword hilt tightly and let it flow into the sword.


    The Nine Souls Sword released a dazzling light, causing the faintly discernible starlight to dim.


    Even though Huang Qing and the rest''s attacks were ferocious, Li Xie was still not slow.


    The corner of Huang Qing''s mouth twitched, and he leapt up as he slashed towards Li Xie''s head.


    The blade tore through the air and emitted beams of fire!


    Zhu He and Zhang Nian attacked Li Xie from behind, and attacked him from both sides.


    He seemed to have already seen the scene of Li Xie''s head moving.


    After he killed Li Xie, he was even preparing to send Li Xie''s corpse back to the Su Mansion.


    Boom!


    The Sword Qi roared, and all the mountains in the entire mountain shook.


    Huang Qing narrowed her eyes. The light emitted by the Sword Qi was simply too dazzling.

 C131

    Just now, the blade in his hand was only an inch away from Li Xie''s head, but right now, it was a thousand miles away.


    Huang Qing was extremely upset, she swung her blade towards Li Xie once again, completely disregarding everything else.


    In the blink of an eye, Huang QIng heard the sound of the blade in his hand being flattened. It was extremely ear-piercing.


    He was simply unable to imagine just what had happened.


    Immediately following that, a wave of Sword Qi landed on Huang QIng''s body, immediately toppling him over. Huang QIng directly tumbled down from the mountain to the foot of the mountain.


    At the foot of the mountain, Huang Qing''s stomach was in a tumble and his entire body was in tatters.


    Huang QIng almost didn''t recognize him, completely losing his dignity as the gang leader of Black Crane Gang.


    When Huang Qing''s left hand was about to prop him up, Zhu He and Zhang Nian both fell from the sky, their bodies covered in wounds.


    Huang Qing raised her gaze to the top of the mountain, where Li Xie had already jumped down, and was getting closer and closer to them.


    Huang Qing involuntarily retreated, his steps already in a mess.


    Ah ¡­


    Zhu He and Zhang Nian''s miserable cries resounded through the night sky. Their Martial Veins had already been severed, and fresh blood immediately dyed the ground under their feet and their arms red.


    Huang QIng was stupefied. His retreating steps came to a sudden halt, as if someone had grabbed onto his arm.


    At this moment, he was sweating profusely and his entire body was trembling.


    Whoosh ¡­


    The Sword Qi flashed by and cut apart Huang Qing''s martial vein. He painfully fell to the ground and continuously rolled about.


    However, Huang Qing didn''t roll around for long. Not long after, he passed out from exhaustion.


    Li Xie heaved a long sigh of relief. At this moment, he finally felt the exhaustion in his body.


    Just now, he had been constantly sprinkling Nine Souls Sword, and his exhaustion had been concealed very well. Even Huang Qing and the rest hadn''t noticed.


    Li Xie swept his eyes across Huang Qing and the rest, who had already fainted with pale faces.


    He kept his Nine Souls Sword and walked forward step by step. He had to find Han Jinshan''s location before the sun rose in the sky.


    If the news of Han Jinshan''s disappearance spread throughout the streets and alleys of Zhong Yuan City at daybreak, the citizens of Zhong Yuan City would completely fall into panic.


    At that time, large and small forces would come out to divide up the chaotic Zhong Yuan City.


    Although Li Xie had not stayed in the Zhong Yuan City for much longer, he did not want the flourishing Zhong Yuan City to be destroyed in its entirety, and even the other cities that were affected by it.


    As he continued to walk forward, Li Xie suddenly felt that his steps were getting heavier and heavier.


    Under his feet, two vines had already tied up his legs, and were continuously spreading upwards.


    These two vines were obviously under the control of the Elemental Energy, and they grew thicker and thicker.


    Bang


    Suddenly, the vines wrapped around Li Xie''s legs dragged him into the ground.


    After an unknown amount of time, when Li Xie woke up, his surroundings were filled with light.


    It took Li Xie a while to get used to the scenery around him. He was in an extremely spacious cave, and this kind of cave was extremely rare.


    Li Xie frowned, he felt that Han Jinshan was nearby.


    There was a high chance that this place was within the range of the mountain. Ordinary people wouldn''t be able to enter this place, and it wouldn''t be an easy matter for them to leave.


    If not for those two vines, Li Xie wouldn''t have been able to find them even if he tore apart the mountain range.


    Suddenly, Li Xie heard a series of footsteps, that fluctuated between fast and slow.


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth raised, he had a premonition that he would be meeting a few important figures, or even that person surnamed Su.


    Therefore, Li Xie''s heart was full of anticipation.


    Creak ¡­


    When the cave''s door was pushed open, Su Ding took the lead to walk towards Li Xie.


    Behind Su Ding were a few black-clothed Martial Cultivator s, they were escorting the exhausted Han Jinshan with unified footsteps.


    Su Ding sized Li Xie up from head to toe.


    As the cave was very spacious, the sound of Su Ding and the others'' footsteps kept echoing in the cave.


    When Su Ding stood in front of Li Xie, he reached out his hand and patted Li Xie''s shoulder.


    He couldn''t help but raise his eyebrows. After Li Xie fell asleep for a few hours, his body had actually recovered quite a few Elemental Energy s.


    This further strengthened Su Ding''s previous decision, that Li Xie must not stay!


    Su Ding looked back, and the black-robed Martial Cultivator immediately pulled Han Jinshan over to his side.


    Facing Han Jinshan''s gaze, Su Ding seemed to be unable to bear it.


    After all, they had already known each other for dozens of years, and there were even times when they would confide in each other.


    Now they were on the opposite side, and there was no room for redemption.


    Han Jinshan shook his head at Su Ding, he felt that he had never met Su Ding before.


    Su Ding laughed, he was purposely hiding his true emotions.


    Young Master Li, do you want to continue living? Su Ding looked at Li Xie and asked softly.


    Of course. Li Xie replied naturally, his eyes neither servile nor overbearing.


    Un, I will give you a chance to live on now, you only need to use the Nine Souls Sword on your back to cut open Han Jinshan''s chest. Su Ding said.


    You sure are vicious ¡­ Han Jinshan stared at Su Ding and bellowed.


    Brother Han, for the sake of the Su Family''s future, I have no choice but to do this! Su Ding clenched his fist and said.


    Han Jinshan glanced at Su Ding one last time, and then closed his eyes.


    Su Ding waved his hand towards Li Xie, causing the several iron chains binding him to fall to the ground.


    Su Ding would not ask again. He felt that Li Xie would make the right choice.


    This empty cave was an extremely special place, and only Su Ding had the means to leave. Even if the others had profound realms in the Martial Cultivator, they might not be able to see the light of day again.


    Old Master Su, I won''t do anything to Mayor Han. Li Xie said resolutely.


    After Su Ding finished listening to what Li Xie had to say, he couldn''t help but shake his head.


    It was very obvious that Su Ding was very disappointed with the decision Li Xie had made.


    He really wanted to give Li Xie another chance to make a decision, but in the end, he gave up on this idea.


    Young Master Li, I really don''t understand you. Su Ding sighed.


    I should be the one who can''t see through you, Old Master Su. Li Xie replied.


    Yes. Su Ding nodded, and then placed his gaze on Han Jinshan.


    At this time, Han Jinshan had already opened his eyes and was looking at Li Xie in shock.


    Li Xie could have traded his life for his freedom, but Li Xie didn''t.


    Su Ding, why are you doing this? Han Jinshan looked at Su Ding and asked.


    Brother Han, you don''t need to know so much. Su Ding said.


    Stop calling me Brother Han. I have broken off all ties with you. Han Jinshan said resolutely.


    Oh, is that true? Su Ding frowned and asked.


    Of course! Han Jinshan turned his gaze elsewhere, he was not willing to look at Su Ding one more time.


    Su Ding sneered, Han Jinshan''s tone was truly determined.


    Since that was the case, Su Ding was naturally not willing to take another look at Han Jinshan.


    I''m sorry, Brother Han! Before he finished speaking, Su Ding summoned out a dagger and held it tightly in his hand, taking the opportunity to pierce through Han Jinshan''s heart.


    Han Jinshan opened his eyes wide and looked at Su Ding, his expression was filled with shock.


    Perhaps he never would have thought that Su Ding would actually do it himself, and so viciously.


    When Su Ding pulled the dagger out from Han Jinshan''s chest, the black-clothed Martial Cultivator released his hand and Han Jinshan laid down in a pool of blood.


    Han Jinshan''s breathing gradually stopped, but he still opened his eyes.


    Su Ding shook his right hand, and the red dagger immediately disappeared.

 C132

    Su Ding let out a long sigh. Personally killing Han Jinshan was an extremely difficult decision for him, and it was just as he said before, he had no choice but to do so.


    The reason why he was so ruthless was because he didn''t want Han Jinshan to suffer too much.


    He turned around to look at Li Xie, but Li Xie''s expression was calmer than he had imagined.


    This was enough to show that after Li Xie experienced so many trials and hardships, his calmness had already far surpassed his age, and caused others to gasp in admiration.


    Su Ding smiled at Li Xie before he turned around and walked out. Without saying another word, the black-clothed Martial Cultivator s followed closely behind.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows, he did not understand why Su Ding did not kill him along with the others.


    Could it be that he was an important chess piece in Su Ding''s plan, for which Li Xie could only bitterly smile.


    Squeak squeak...


    The door that wasn''t too far away was closed. Su Ding and the black clothed Martial Cultivator had already walked out, and Li Xie''s surroundings immediately became quiet and quiet.


    Just then, Li Xie heard the cries of birds.


    Li Xie patted his head with his left hand. He suspected that he might be hallucinating.


    However, the birds could still be seen clearly, Li Xie could not help but raise his head to look at the top of the cave.


    Bang!


    Just then, the ceiling of the cave collapsed with a loud bang, directly pressing down on Li Xie''s body.


    Li Xie originally thought that he would be knocked out, but he was still clear-headed.


    Li Xie immediately used both of his hands to prop himself up, the sunlight gently shining on his body.


    Li Xie looked at his surroundings. Huang Qing and the rest were already gone, it was unknown if they had been eaten by the Strange Beast or if they had escaped back to the Zhong Yuan City while holding on to their last breath.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows. Just as he was worrying about how to leave the cave, who knew that he would come out in the blink of an eye.


    But when the image of Han Jinshan lying in a pool of blood appeared before Li Xie''s eyes, he couldn''t help but feel his heart tighten.


    He could not allow Han Jinshan to die in an unclear way. He would seek justice for Han Jinshan.


    After a while, Li Xie returned to the City Lord''s Mansion.


    Most of the City Lord''s Mansion warriors had already left, and the current City Lord''s Mansion was like that of a famed family that had fallen, with the exception of emptiness.


    As Li Xie walked along the corridor, he suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing in all four directions, it was more like late autumn than summer.


    Could it be that the news of Han Jinshan''s death had already spread throughout the streets and alleys of Zhong Yuan City? Su Ding should not allow this kind of thing to happen, because this would only cause his Zhong Yuan City to completely collapse.


    When Li Xie arrived at the southern courtyard, he quickly walked toward him.


    Last night, Sun Pei was on tenterhooks for Li Xie. She didn''t know where Li Xie had gone to, and even more so didn''t know where to look for him.


    Li Xie stood in front of Sun Pei, extended his hand out, and gently caressed Sun Pei''s hair.


    Li Xie smiled in his heart. As long as Sun Pei was by his side, he felt that these matters were nothing.


    Sun Pei pressed her right hand tightly against Li Xie''s chest, and took the opportunity to channel some spirit energy into Li Xie''s body, helping him to heal the various wounds.


    She could tell that Li Xie had experienced a fierce battle last night, and although he still looked to be in high spirits,


    Li Xie slowly closed his eyes, allowing the spirit energy to flow through his entire body.


    He could hear the sound of the wound healing rapidly. It was actually so pleasing to the ear.


    Sun Pei raised the corner of her mouth and laughed, she could feel how Li Xie was feeling right now.


    When Li Xie opened his eyes again, he felt refreshed.


    Bang Bang


    Li Xie and Sun Pei turned to look, only to see an aggressive group of people charging into the southern courtyard.


    In the blink of an eye, the group of aggressive people had surrounded Li Xie and Sun Pei, the situation was extremely tense.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows, he had just returned back to City Lord''s Mansion and he did not even have the time to stabilize his legs, when this group of people came looking for him.


    Furthermore, they also knew that Han Jinshan wasn''t in the City Lord''s Mansion, so his City Lord''s Mansion was no longer in the City Lord''s Mansion.


    Cough cough!


    Li Xie looked towards the direction the voice came from, and from the crowd, a tall and thin man walked out.


    The lanky man squinted his eyes and sized Li Xie up. He had long heard of Li Xie''s name, but today, after seeing him, he felt that it was nothing special.


    He even felt that just by blowing on Li Xie''s face, he was able to make Li Xie fall to the ground and not get up.


    The lanky man shifted his gaze from Li Xie and landed on Sun Pei''s body.


    He could tell that Sun Pei was not a mortal woman, and that she had a beauty that could topple cities and topple nations.


    Then, the lanky man came back to his senses and glared at Li Xie. He smirked, and then prepared to cut Li Xie into eight pieces!


    Stinking brat, your luck with women is quite deep. Unfortunately, she is about to become my person! The tall and thin man coldly said.


    Who are you? What sect or sect did he come from? Li Xie asked with a straight face.


    Humph! I am called Black Vine, I am the Guard and Commander of the Su Mansion! The lanky man arrogantly said.


    From what I know, the name of the guard commander in charge of Su Mansion is Guan Ang! Li Xie said.


    Humph! The guy surnamed Guan had disappeared a while ago. Black Vine said.


    I believe you killed him for the sake of seizing the position of the Su Mansion''s guard commander! He''s not missing! Li Xie said.


    Nonsense! Black Vine puffed his beard and stared at Li Xie.


    Black, was it Su Mian who sent you to find me? Li Xie asked with a cold expression.


    The corner of Black Vine''s mouth twitched, and he immediately summoned his Wolf Teeth Rod to charge towards Li Xie. He did not want to continue talking to Li Xie.


    Just today, Black Vine was preparing to personally take Li Xie''s head off.


    Even though the current Su Mansion didn''t have a leader, it was a rare opportunity for him.


    He was determined to use this opportunity to climb up, and become the pillar of the Su Family.


    Clang!


    Following the direct confrontation between the Nine Souls Sword and the Wolf Teeth Rod, a loud sound rang out.


    Black Vine spared no effort to blast the Wolf Fanged Mace towards Li Xie''s chest, leaving footprints on the ground one after another.


    Black Vine was already an upper stage Martial Cultivator of the Profound Realm, and its realm was above Li Xie.


    Although Li Xie''s speed of swinging the sword was very fast, it was full of loopholes in the black vine''s eyes.


    Black Vine''s eyes narrowed into a line, but his killing intent still couldn''t stop and seeped out.


    Bang!


    Black Vine jumped up and took the opportunity to wave the Wolf Fanged Mace forward. It was extremely strong, Li Xie could only wave his Nine Souls Sword and retreat a few steps.


    He could tell that there weren''t many Elemental Energy in Li Xie''s body.


    Black Vine thought that the heavens were helping him, and Li Xie was destined to lose at his hands.


    Little miss, after I kill Li Xie, I will bring you back to the Su Mansion. As long as you can peacefully follow me and give birth to a few more big fat kids for me, I will give you a lifetime of glory and wealth! The black vine turned to look at Sun Pei and said.


    Sun Pei looked at the black vine expressionlessly. She didn''t hear a single word that the black vine had said.


    The corner of Black Vine''s mouth twitched. He wanted to vent all his anger on Li Xie, so he waved his spiked club and instantly rushed in front of Li Xie.


    Like raging waves, the black vine struck the spiked club towards Li Xie''s chest, not giving him any chance to dodge.


    As the black vine infused the Elemental Energy into the mace, the mace became stronger and its power increased.


    The spiked mace roared, and his City Lord''s Mansion trembled several times.


    Die! Li Xie!


    Under Black Vine''s explosive shout, the Wolf Teeth Rod approached Li Xie''s chest! The edge of the blade was getting stronger!


    Bang!


    Li Xie placed the Nine Souls Sword down, and in a few moves, it weighed around a thousand kilograms, resolving the black vine''s attack.


    Black Vine clenched his teeth, and then appeared behind Li Xie in a flash, swinging the Wolf Fanged Mace towards Li Xie''s back like a fierce tiger descending the mountain.


    "Hiss ¡­"

 C133

    Black Vine''s mace was extremely powerful. The air on both sides was torn apart, leaving no room for retreat.


    Clang!


    In a split-second, Li Xie shifted his body, taking the opportunity to stab the Nine Souls Sword towards the Wolf Fanged Mace.


    Black Vine was shocked. The moment the Nine Souls Sword and the mace clashed, his right hand was actually a little numb, and there was even a tendency for it to spread throughout his body.


    This was a very bad feeling, so much so that it was the first time Black Vine experienced this sort of feeling.


    Black Vine rolled his eyes. He thought of a more appropriate way to deal with Li Xie, and that was to use Sun Pei.


    After making up his mind, Black Vine raised his mace and pounced towards Sun Pei.


    He predicted that Li Xie would definitely come to save Sun Pei regardless of his personal safety, and that would be the time when he would strike with his life!


    Little girl, I''m coming! Black Vine said, his mouth brimming with a lewd smile.


    Sun Pei opened the palm of her right hand, revealing the Feather Spirit Sword in her hand.


    The black vine did not care about the Feather Spirit Sword in Sun Pei''s hands at all, and his steps towards Sun Pei became faster and faster.


    From the corner of his eyes, he was staring at Li Xie, waiting for the bait to be ready.


    Swoosh!


    Li Xie rushed to the front of the black vine and stabbed at its chest with his sword.


    Unexpectedly, the black vine suddenly turned into a black shadow and disappeared without a trace.


    Li Xie frowned, it seemed like Black Vine was going to go all out.


    Li Xie held onto the Nine Souls Sword, waiting for the moment the black vine suddenly appeared.


    Bang!


    Li Xie looked down and saw that the black vine had already rushed out from underground like a dragon coming out to sea.


    Just as Li Xie was about to sink the Nine Souls Sword, Black Vine''s figure flashed and appeared above Li Xie.


    Hey! Even though you are prepared, I am faster than you can imagine! Black Vine sneered and said.


    Not necessarily! Li Xie said as the corner of his mouth rose.


    Heh! You don''t shed tears until you''re in a coffin! Black Vine roared.


    Li Xie clenched the Nine Souls Sword tightly in his hands and let the Sword Qi rush towards the black vine.


    The black vine laughed coldly, and with the spiked mace on his shoulder, he agilely avoided the tip of the Nine Souls Sword s Sword Qi time and time again.


    "Whiz!"


    Black Vine turned around and appeared behind Li Xie. It raised its mace and smashed it towards Li Xie''s shoulder with extreme force.


    He was prepared to cripple Li Xie''s arms first, and then, he would slowly torture Li Xie in front of him.


    Sometimes, the pain was worse than death. The black vine tried to let Li Xie experience it properly.


    The more the black vine thought about it, the more excited it became. All of the blood in its body began to boil!


    Ah!


    The veins on Black Vine''s tightly clenched fists bulged as all the Elemental Energy gathered in his hands.


    Boom ¡­


    Li Xie shook the Nine Souls Sword lightly and sent several Sword Qi flying towards the black vine.


    The black vine did not take notice of the Sword Qi rushing towards him and continued to charge forward.


    "Hiss ¡­" "Hiss ¡­"


    He lowered his head and saw that both his arms and chest were injured by the Sword Qi.


    Whoosh ¡­


    Black Vine turned its head to look, Li Xie had already appeared behind him, and he did not expect this at all.


    Reaching this point, Li Xie''s speed actually became more and more violent!


    Li Xie raised the Nine Souls Sword and landed on the black vine''s back. The black vine had no way of dodging and could only fall from the sky.


    Bang


    The black vine, along with the spiked mace in his hand, sunk into the ground, stirring up the dust.


    Black Commander...


    Even though the guards of Su Mansion were all shouting for the black vine, the black vine had already fainted.


    Li Xie quickly walked to the side of the black vine, squatted down and grabbed onto the black vine''s hair to raise his head, then let go of his hand.


    In a daze, the black vine opened its eyes. When it saw Li Xie squatting beside him, it was so shocked that it fainted.


    Li Xie shook his head, and then extended his gaze forward, causing the Su Mansion guards to retreat continuously.


    Li Xie slowly stood up. Just as he was about to put away the Nine Souls Sword, he heard a burst of sound coming from a figure that had landed behind him.


    Li Xie immediately turned around to look, and the person who came was Su Mian, and she had already held his ice dagger tightly against Sun Pei''s neck.


    Su Mian smiled at Li Xie, she did not expect to meet Li Xie again under such circumstances.


    They were no longer friends, and Su Mian had given up on that idea.


    The current Su Mian only wanted Su Family to get out of the quagmire quickly, so she would give up everything.


    Li Xie''s right hand loosened, and the Nine Souls Sword flew back into the sword sheath.


    He walked towards Su Mian step by step, without any hesitation in his eyes.


    Young Master Wu. Sun Pei turned to look at Su Mian and said.


    I''m sorry, but there are no longer any young masters left in this world. Su Mian said indifferently.


    A moment later, the City Lord''s Mansion was as empty as a ruin.


    Similarly, such a large Su Mansion was also quiet, and was completely different from the past.


    and Sun Pei were looking up at the moonlight from the garden in the Su Mansion backyard. Su Mian did not tie them up to restrict their freedom.


    In the Su Mansion, they seemed like guests who had come here.


    The only difference was that whether it was Li Xie or Sun Pei, neither of them were in a good mood.


    There were countless number of eyes staring at them from nearby. As long as they wanted to leave the Su Mansion, they would appear in time.


    Li Xie was not afraid of them, it was just that he did not wish for Sun Pei to be injured because of him.


    Li Xie tried his best to calm his heart down as he looked up at the moonlight.


    Moonlight seemed to understand Li Xie''s thoughts.


    Ta ta ta ¡­


    A series of footsteps, neither slow nor slow, came from not too far away, so Li Xie and Sun Pei did not look for the source of the sound.


    Because they knew that Su Mian had definitely come at just the right time.


    They all wanted to have a good chat with each other. There had been too many things happening recently.


    Not long later, Su Mian stood beside Li Xie and the others.


    Li Xie looked at it from the side and suddenly felt that he no longer recognized Su Mian.


    The Su Mian that appeared in front of Li Xie was no longer the Su Mian from before. Just as Su Mian had said, she no longer existed.


    Su Mian''s real name was Su Wan, and at this moment, she was wearing her woman''s clothes.


    The clothes Su Wan was wearing were very ordinary, but it couldn''t conceal her unique temperament, making it unforgettable for anyone.


    It had been a long time since she wore a woman''s outfit. She had almost forgotten that she was a woman.


    Su Wan turned and glanced at Li Xie and Sun Pei. She saw the shock in their eyes, and it was within her expectations.


    When Su Wan looked in the mirror earlier, she was also shocked by her own reflection.


    Young Master Wu, no, how should I address you? Li Xie asked in confusion.


    My name is Su Wan, so you should already know that I am Young Noble Su''s elder sister. Su Wan said, but at the moment, her tone had both the heroic aura of a man as well as the gentleness of a woman.


    Miss Su, what did you want to do by inviting me and Pei''er to the Su Mansion? Li Xie went straight to the point.


    You know what? I heard about you from Cheng''s mouth as early as last month. Su Wan said.


    Li Xie thoughtfully nodded his head. At that time, he had almost thought that he and Su Cheng could become friends.


    Miss Su, Old Master Su''s chess game was too big! Sun Pei said as she looked at Su Wan.


    Miss Sun, what did you mean by that? Su Wan asked, full of suspicions.


    City Lord Han had told me before that he suspected that it was a lie that Old Master Su had been kidnapped within the Su Mansion. However, after City Lord Han left the city, he never came back. Sun Pei said.


    How was this possible! Su Wan replied in disbelief.

 C134

    Based on Su Wan''s understanding of her father, he would definitely not do such a thing.


    This would only cause one''s Su Family to be swept into the vortex, and one''s body would very likely be smashed to smithereens, and one''s hundred years of foundation would be destroyed in an instant.


    But Sun Pei''s reasoning was so reasonable, it did not seem like she was purposefully trying to get her to do this.


    The more Su Wan thought about it, the more her head hurt, but she couldn''t help but stop thinking about it.


    Su Wan stared at Li Xie, she wanted to hear what Li Xie had to say, she believed that Li Xie would not tell a lie.


    City Lord Han, he''s already dead. Li Xie said, his expression was gloomy.


    Mayor Han... He''s dead? Su Wan raised her eyebrows and asked.


    Yes, and it was Lord Su himself who killed him, and I saw it with my own eyes! Li Xie said.


    After hearing what Li Xie had said, Su Wan unconsciously took a step back. What Li Xie had just said was like a thunderbolt out of the blue for her.


    Su Wan tried her best to control her emotions. All these years, she had seen many hardships.


    Even if the sky were to collapse, she couldn''t let her emotions get out of control, especially during this eventful time.


    What Li Xie had just said not only shocked Su Wan, but even Sun Pei had a face full of shock.


    Young Master Li, I believe that you wouldn''t lie to me, but I also believe that my father wouldn''t do such a thing. Su Wan said firmly.


    At first, I also didn''t believe that Old Master Su would be so ruthless in dragging Su Family and you into the vortex, but after seeing the truth, I had no choice but to believe it. Li Xie replied.


    Sun Pei frowned, she now understood Su Wan''s feelings, but she did not know if she should speak up to comfort him.


    Young Master Li, can you prove that City Lord Han was indeed killed by my father personally? Su Wan asked.


    No, not unless your father shows up of his own accord. Li Xie said.


    Young Master Li, Miss Sun, quickly leave your Su Mansion s! Su Wan looked at Li Xie and, and said solemnly.


    Sun Pei raised her eyebrows, the meaning behind her words was to let her and Li Xie leave.


    She had a premonition that a tremendous change was going to happen to her Zhong Yuan City.


    In Su Wan''s opinion, Li Xie and Sun Pei were merely outsiders, they shouldn''t have been dragged into this.


    Sun Pei turned her face to look at Li Xie, she believed that Li Xie would make the best decision.


    Miss Su, I can only accept your good intentions, but now is not the time for me to leave the Zhong Yuan City. Li Xie said resolutely.


    Young Master Li, you aren''t someone from the Zhong Yuan City to begin with. The turmoil here has nothing to do with you, you don''t need to let yourself be trapped in such a dangerous situation. Su Wan advised sincerely.


    Since I am here, then the matter of Zhong Yuan City has to do with me. Li Xie said in relief.


    Mm, Brother Li, you''re right. Sun Pei said as the corners of her mouth rose.


    Li Xie looked at Sun Pei. He did not feel anything amiss about Sun Pei supporting his decision.


    Since you all decided to stay, then don''t regret in case something happened in the future! Su Wan said.


    Yes, the most important thing right now is to find Old Master Su as soon as possible. Li Xie said.


    Yes, but where would Old Master Su hide him? Sun Pei frowned and said.


    Young Master Li, Miss Sun, I think we''re both lost. Su Wan said.


    Li Xie secretly sighed, he of course could understand the meaning behind Su Wan''s words, but she still did not believe that her father would be so heartless.


    If it was him, he would not have been able to accept this fact, because it was too cruel.


    Su Ding should be a hero in Su Wan''s heart, a hero who shouldered the entire Su Family on his shoulders, and not a cold-blooded and heartless person.


    Li Xie did not want to continue talking about Su Ding. He could not bear to see Su Wan in such a miserable state.


    Furthermore, there was still the matter of Su Cheng, he had to wait until this storm and storm had passed before he can speak honestly with Su Wan.


    Bang!


    Not good!


    Li Xie and the others immediately walked toward the Su Mansion''s main entrance. The night was no longer peaceful.


    When Li Xie and the rest had quickly reached the Su Mansion''s gate, it was already completely blocked so much that not even a drop of water could trickle through.


    Li Xie swept his eyes across his surroundings.


    However, those who were blocking the entrance of the Su Mansion had a face full of anger; their fury was enough to burn the entire Su Mansion to nothingness.


    At this time, Ye Song walked out from the crowd and stood in front of Li Xie.


    Ye Song''s gaze made Li Xie feel that it was very unfamiliar, because Ye Song''s eyes were currently filled with a cold killing intent.


    It was very clear that something big had happened to the Ye Family and this matter was related to the Su Family.


    Ye Song shifted his gaze from Li Xie''s body to Su Wan''s body. His eyes were ice-cold and bone-piercing.


    Miss Su, our Ye Family has always been stingy, why are you still unwilling to let our Ye Family go?! Ye Song asked harshly.


    What the hell do you mean? Why can''t I understand a single word! Su Wan replied.


    Humph, look for yourself! With that said, Ye Song threw a white cloth to Su Wan.


    Su Wan reached out her left hand and caught the white cloth that Ye Song threw to her, then opened it to take a look.


    Su Wan turned her face and looked at Li Xie and Sun Pei, and then passed the white cloth to them.


    When Li Xie and Sun Pei finished reading the contents of the white cloth, they immediately felt that Su Ding was playing with fire.


    The words on the white cloth were from Old Master Su, right? Ye Song stared at Su Wan and asked.


    Indeed, it was somewhat similar. Su Wan said.


    Ah!" Quick, hand over my father safely, or else I will flatten your Su palace even if it costs me my life! Ye Song roared.


    Lord Ye, Lord Ye is not in the Su Mansion! Su Wan calmly replied.


    Humph! You father and daughter are each more bestial than the other! Ye Song shouted.


    Young master! Don''t talk nonsense with them, let''s go all out against them!


    That''s right! We need to flatten the Su Mansion in order to save the old master!


    Ye Song raised his left hand high in the air and the guards behind him immediately quieted down.


    Ye Song looked at Su Wan, his eyes filled with anger and killing intent.


    Kill! Let us flatten our Su Mansion tonight! Ye Song roared as he waved his hand.


    Bang


    In the blink of an eye, the Ye Residence''s guards and the Su Mansion''s guard started battling.


    Sword lights and shadows resounded through the night sky, scaring the nearby commoners so much that they didn''t even dare to breathe loudly, as they all hid in a corner.


    The Zhong Yuan City that had calmed down for so many years had completely changed tonight.


    The bright moonlight had been hidden, and the stars had dimmed.


    Crowds of crows hovered in the air, cawing merrily as they waited for the moment they finished their meal.


    Ye Song instantly rose into the air with a tap of his feet, bypassed the high walls of the Su Mansion, and arrived in the front courtyard.


    Ye Song''s right hand grasped the air and the long spear instantly appeared in his hand.


    Ye Song hadn''t been waving his long spear recently, so it was obvious that he was holding his breath.


    When the long spear was grasped in Ye Song''s hand once again, it was extremely excited.


    The front yard of the Su Mansion was extremely wide, to the point that it was even twice the size of the front yard of the Ye residence.


    But after tonight, it was not certain whether or not the front courtyard of Su Mansion would still be there.


    The corner of Ye Song''s mouth lifted into a cold smile. He had never felt this carefree feeling before.


    From the day he was born, Ye Song had been tightly pressed up behind Su Cheng, who was like a black cloud above his head.


    No matter how much he cultivated, he was still left far behind Su Cheng. This had caused him to be ruthless for a long time.

 C135

    Currently, Su Cheng was qualified to go to the Ten Heavenly Regions to cultivate, so he could only continue to stay in the Zhong Yuan City.


    When Su Cheng returned to the Zhong Yuan City, everyone would once again compare him with Su Cheng. If nothing went wrong, he would still be ruthlessly left behind by Su Cheng.


    The corner of Ye Song''s mouth twitched. The anger that he had held in for so many years was something he wanted to release all at once tonight!


    Even if he had to slaughter all of his Su Mansion, he wouldn''t hesitate!


    Bang!


    Li Xie descended from the sky and stood in front of Ye Song with the Nine Souls Sword in his hands. Just now, he had signalled to Su Wan to stay behind at the Su Mansion entrance.


    Li Xie cupped his fists towards Ye Song and bowed. Not long ago, they had already exchanged hands.


    Because of that fight with Ye Song, he had become the Ye Clan''s opponent, and this was not within his expectations.


    Ye Xuankai had always wanted to put him to death, but unfortunately, he couldn''t find the chance.


    Right now, Ye Xuankai had already been captured by the people Su Ding had sent out, whether he was dead or alive was unknown.


    Ye Song raised the pike in his hand and pointed it at Li Xie''s chest. Since Li Xie was determined to help Su Family, he could only send him off.


    The last time he was defeated at Li Xie''s hands, he was still brooding over it. Now, the chance to wash away his shame was right in front of him.


    Li Xie, you really want to work your life out for Su Family like this, could it be that the rumors are true? Ye Song asked with interest.


    Extremely preposterous! Li Xie said.


    Stop pretending, Miss Su is indeed as beautiful as a flower. After I finish slaughtering all of her Su Mansion, I will save her life and bring it back to properly enjoy! The corner of Ye Song''s mouth raised into a lewd smile.


    Li Xie couldn''t help but raise his eyebrows. He felt that Ye Song was a little different from before.


    Before, Ye Song was arrogant and reckless, but now, Ye Song was cold and wretched.


    Time was perhaps the most cruel weapon in the world. It could unknowingly change a person, but the person involved was unaware.


    Turn back in time, your actions tonight will only cause both the Ye Family and Su Family to suffer! Li Xie said.


    Humph! I can''t care less! Ye Song roared, he raised his spear and rushed towards Li Xie.


    The tip of the spear tore through the air, emitting many sparks. It was extremely dazzling.


    At this moment, Ye Song''s eyes were narrowed into a line, but his killing intent could not stop flowing out.


    When Ye Song arrived in front of Li Xie, he stabbed the long spear ruthlessly into Li Xie''s heart.


    Ye Song brandished his long spear at an extremely fast speed, just like a stormy sea.


    Li Xie pushed the Nine Souls Sword forward, just in time to block the sharp tip of the spear in Ye Song''s hands.


    Li Xie could feel that Ye Song had improved a lot in the past few days as well.


    This way was also good. Li Xie was just in time to have a good fight with Ye Song.


    "Whiz!" "Whiz!"


    Ye Song''s attack was extremely quick and violent. The walls and the floor under Li Xie''s feet all left traces of the spear''s destruction.


    The Elemental Energy was burning inside Ye Song''s body. His eyes were already red.


    The corner of Ye Song''s mouth twitched, and he took the opportunity to stab towards Li Xie''s head.


    In Ye Song''s hand, the long spear was like a dragon emerging from the sea, fierce and powerful.


    At this moment, Ye Song had already treated Li Xie''s head as his.


    After taking Li Xie''s head off, he believed that no one would be able to stop him from trampling the Su Mansion.


    Clang!


    The Nine Souls Sword and the long spear clashed, causing the massive Su Mansion to tremble a few times.


    Ye Song pushed his spear forward and tried to do it in one go.


    But the Nine Souls Sword blocked the attack of the long spear outside the door, and whistled the Sword Qi towards Ye Song''s chest, it was exceptionally fierce.


    Ye Song glared, and waves of Elemental Energy rushed out of his body and surrounded him.


    Like an iron wall, the Elemental Energy surrounding Ye Song caused the Sword Qi to return empty-handed.


    The Nine Souls Sword in Li Xie''s hands had already lost its edge in his eyes, and was no different from any other weapon.


    Since that was the case, Ye Song raised his spear and swung it towards Li Xie''s head.


    The force behind it was strong enough to split a mountain, and the veins on Ye Song''s hands bulged.


    Clang!


    Once again, the Nine Souls Sword collided with the pike, causing the ground under Li Xie''s feet to crack open.


    Li Xie scrunched his eyebrows, Ye Song''s skills had greatly expanded his horizons!


    Furthermore, the Elemental Energy in Ye Song''s body was still boiling; it was enough for him to continue fighting for a few more hours.


    Bang!


    Ye Song pressed the spear down, directly pushing Li Xie and the Nine Souls Sword into the ground together.


    Just this was not enough, Ye Song swung his spear and stabbed it into the ground, not giving Li Xie the chance to breathe.


    Ye Song injected wave after wave of Elemental Energy into his spear, causing the spear''s edge to be revealed and blossoming flowers to blossom on the ground.


    Ye Song laughed coldly, as if he could hear Li Xie''s heart-wrenching screams from underground.


    This kind of scream was so pleasant to listen to that Ye Song almost danced in joy.


    Boom ¡­


    Ye Song turned around to look, and saw Li Xie rushing out from the ground behind him with a Nine Souls Sword in his hand.


    Ye Song immediately turned around and waved his spear towards Li Xie''s vital parts, like a fierce tiger descending the mountain!


    When the two extremely strong Elemental Energy collided, both Li Xie and Ye Song could not help but take a few steps back.


    Ye Song was the first to stabilize his footsteps, he raised his spear and rushed towards Li Xie, filled with killing intent.


    Hiss!


    The spear whistled as it got closer to Li Xie''s skull, and the speed became more and more violent.


    Li Xie raised the Nine Souls Sword and the Sword Qi instantly flew out.


    Under the impact of the Sword Qi, Ye Song could only put away his spear and retreat, his footsteps gradually becoming more fragmented.


    Ye Song stared coldly at Li Xie. Both he and Li Xie had exhausted a large amount of their Elemental Energy.


    Now, it was just a matter of who could last a little longer, and who would have the last laugh.


    Ye Song clenched his teeth, gripped his long spear with both hands and pounced towards Li Xie once again. He still wanted to destroy Li Xie''s will and body in one go.


    Ye Song''s feet left deep and shallow marks on the ground as the entire front yard of the Su Mansion echoed with his footsteps.


    Boom!


    Ye Song swung his spear towards Li Xie''s chest, and the sound emitted from the spear was like raging waves.


    Clang!


    Ah ¡­


    Ye Song''s hands were trembling, and his entire body was falling backwards.


    The voice of the Sword Qi whistled in Ye Song''s ears like rolling thunder.


    This feeling was too terrible. It was as if someone was choking him, causing him to be unable to breathe.


    Ye Song clenched his teeth and thrust his long spear downwards, but the spear became weak and lost its sharpness.


    Bang


    As Ye Song fell from midair to the ground, dust and dirt had already covered the sky and covered the ground, burying him deep in the ground.


    Ye Song used his left hand to prop himself up from the ground. He looked around, but could not find Li Xie.


    At this moment, Ye Song heard the sound of his own breathing, and it became more and more urgent.


    Ye Song clenched his long spear tightly in his right hand and was on his guard against Li Xie, who might appear at any moment.


    He was constantly trying to control his emotions, but to no avail.


    Swoosh!


    A Sword Qi suddenly appeared in front of Ye Song, causing him to retreat in fright.


    Right at this moment, Li Xie suddenly appeared behind Ye Song. He swung the Nine Souls Sword towards Ye Song''s back.


    Ye Song suddenly turned around, and the Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi had already pierced into his chest.


    If Li Xie had not allowed the Nine Souls Sword''s power to weaken a little, Ye Song would have already been lying in a pool of blood, without even having the chance to react.


    Bang!


    Ye Song stabbed the long spear into the ground beside him, preventing himself from falling down.


    He gazed at Li Xie once again, the redness in his eyes had not faded.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    The Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi flashed past Ye Song''s eyes, and his martial pulse was instantly cut off, blood spilling all over the ground.

 C136

    Ye Song and the long spear in his hands fell to the ground at the same time.


    Blood had already dyed the spear in Ye Song''s hands red, and Ye Song''s face was already pale. The two of them formed a clear contrast.


    Ye Song widened his eyes. He wanted to see more clearly and further, but his vision became more and more blurry.


    Li Xie slowly walked towards Ye Song. He still wanted to give Ye Song a few words of advice.


    If this battle continued, the Ye Family and Su Family would sink into a bottomless abyss.


    After Ye Song heard Li Xie''s footsteps, he raised his head and looked at Li Xie, his eyes filled with hatred.


    Li Xie! I want you to be buried with me! Ye Song roared with all his might.


    Li Xie''s footsteps suddenly stopped. Ye Song had already raised his spear and pierced it into his chest.


    As Ye Song''s eyes dimmed, his life also vanished into thin air.


    Soon after, the spear became dull and lifeless, the sharp light just now turned into ashes.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows, even though Ye Song had already died, the words he shouted out just now still reverberated in his ears.


    Furthermore, Ye Song''s eyes were open, so Li Xie was prepared to close his eyes.


    Just at this moment, Li Xie regained his senses and looked ahead. He actually did not see Ye Song''s corpse.


    Li Xie looked left and right, but he still did not see a single trace of Ye Song''s body.


    "Whiz!"


    Li Xie raised his head to look. In front of him, the long spear in the air was spinning non-stop, as a wave of Elemental Energy filled with hatred surrounded the long spear.


    At this moment, the spear was no longer an ordinary spear. It now had a will of its own. This was because the hatred in Ye Song''s soul had already fused with the spear.


    At this time, the Nine Souls Sword in Li Xie''s hand trembled slightly, causing him to involuntarily raise his eyebrows.


    Li Xie raised his Nine Souls Sword and jumped up, taking the opportunity to rush towards the long spear that was hovering in mid air.


    Unexpectedly, when Sword Qi rushed to the spear''s side, the spear had suddenly disappeared.


    Following the sound of his heels landing on the ground, Li Xie extended his sight and hearing in all directions, not letting go of even a corner.


    Compared to before, Li Xie felt that the real battle had only just begun.


    Haha! Li Xie, we meet again!


    Li Xie immediately turned around to look at Ye Song.


    At this moment, Ye Song could only see a blurry figure faintly appearing.


    At the moment of his death, he had truly become one with the spear.


    "Whiz!"


    The longspear pierced through the night as it flew towards Li Xie. The sound of air being torn resounded above the courtyard in front of the Su Mansion, and was extremely miserable.


    Boom!


    In the blink of an eye, the spear circled Li Xie once before transforming into dozens of spears, all of them with their edge exposed.


    They were staring straight at Li Xie like a pack of wolves, their killing intent soaring to the heavens.


    Li Xie held onto the Nine Souls Sword tightly and took the opportunity to pour the Elemental Energy into it.


    At this time, Su Wan and the rest had already settled all the Ye Residence''s guards who had accompanied Ye Song into the Su Mansion. They turned around and walked into the front courtyard.


    The front yard of the Su Mansion was no longer the same as before, not a single part of it was the same.


    The scene not far away made them gasp. Li Xie was already surrounded by the pikes.


    Furthermore, the long spear emitted a bloody red light, causing many of the guards who saw it to shiver uncontrollably. Some of them even wanted to run away.


    The long spear seemed to grow a bloody mouth just like the Strange Beast, its hissing sound reverberated in the air.


    Sun Pei really wanted to rush over and help Li Xie, but she was stopped by Su Wan.


    Su Wan used his eyes to signal for Sun Pei to calm down. At this point, they were not going to help, but to cause trouble for Li Xie.


    Boom ¡­


    As if ten thousand arrows had shot out, dozens of pikes pierced towards Li Xie''s vital parts, some even fighting to be the first to attack.


    Li Xie sealed the Nine Souls Sword''s movements tightly, allowing the Sword Qi to flow freely.


    Clang! Clang!


    Beside Li Xie''s ears, other than the sounds of the Sword Qi and the spear clashing, he could no longer hear any other sounds.


    Although the hands of the Nine Souls Sword were numb, it did not affect the speed of his sword.


    With a tap of his feet, Li Xie raised his Nine Souls Sword and charged upwards.


    The layers of the spear, which was surrounded by the impact of the Nine Souls Sword and Sword Qi, opened up a hole, allowing Li Xie to breathe happily.


    These spears were all formed from hatred and Elemental Energy and even if the Sword Qi destroyed them, they could still gather together again.


    Li Xie looked down, and once again, dozens of spears charged up like wolves and tigers.


    The might of the Nine Souls Sword and Sword Qi continued to increase, and the impact of the spear also continued to increase.


    The rooftops surrounding the Su Mansion courtyard had already been overturned, and the tiles were shattered to pieces on the ground. The chairs and tables outside the gates were swaying in the wind, and thick dust was flying in the air.


    "Whiz!"


    Li Xie held the Nine Souls Sword tightly and scattered it around, causing the Sword Qi to roar.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    A long spear broke through layers of Sword Qi and pierced Li Xie''s shoulder, blood flowing down from the wound.


    Li Xie immediately extended his left hand and pulled out the spear that was pierced into his shoulder, and threw it out.


    The pain coming from his shoulder made Li Xie frown, but this made him more focused.


    The corner of Li Xie''s mouth raised slightly, and the Purple Radiant True Flame in his body immediately opened its eyes.


    The Purple Radiant True Fire from the past two days had been in a deep slumber. It had struggled to open its eyes, but of course, it was extremely excited.


    Facing the violently surging spear that was besieging Li Xie, the Purple Light True Fire was already prepared.


    Li Xie! Your death has already reached this point, hurry up and accompany me! Ye Song''s voice resounded in the air and could not disperse for a long time.


    Facing such a cordial invitation from Ye Song, Li Xie was not the least bit moved.


    Infuriated!


    Boring ¡­


    Just like a mountain torrent exploding, the Nine Souls Sword''s Sword Qi galloped out, overbearing and overbearing.


    Under the contrast of the Sword Qi of the Nine Souls Sword, the starlight in the night sky dimmed and dimmed.


    The javelins that covered the sky all charged forward, clashing head-on with the Sword Qi.


    Clang! Dang, dang, dang!


    Under the strong impact of the Nine Souls Sword s, the pikes broke one after another.


    After the spear broke, it rapidly fell to the ground. When it was only an inch away from the ground, it turned into ashes and scattered.


    Very quickly, the spear that encircled Li Xie had a hole cut in it.


    Ah ¡­


    Ye Song''s scream once again resounded through the night sky. Following that was the sound of Ye Song''s body being torn apart as his remaining soul was destroyed in the air.


    Li Xie waved his Nine Souls Sword forward, and the tyrannical Sword Qi roared as it rushed forward.


    The spears began to recede, but there was no way out.


    Sword Qi galloped from all directions, and at that moment, they did not even have the strength to fight back.


    Under the full impact of the Nine Souls Sword s Sword Qi, the dozens of spears instantly vanished into thin air.


    After Li Xie''s feet steadily landed on the ground, the front courtyard of the Su Mansion had already recovered its tranquility.


    Li Xie heaved a long sigh of relief, even though the wound on his shoulder was still throbbing faintly.


    Brother Li!


    Sun Pei quickly ran in front of Li Xie, but just now, her heart had been beating very quickly.


    Sun Pei extended out her jade hand to touch Li Xie''s shoulder, but Li Xie signalled with his eyes that he did not need to, he did not want Sun Pei to waste too much spirit energy.


    He could bear such a small injury, but it would take some time.


    Li Xie loosened his right hand, causing the Nine Souls Sword to cut through the night sky and fall into the sword sheath.


    Stretching his line of sight forward, Li Xie looked at Su Wan, but there was no emotion on his face.


    Miss Su, I have something to say to you. Li Xie slowly said.

 C137

    After a while, Li Xie, Sun Pei and Su Wan were in Su Mansion''s study.


    The door to the Su Mansion study was already closed. There would only be guards patrolling a hundred steps away, so the surroundings were completely silent.


    Li Xie''s expression was solemn, both Sun Pei and Su Wan could see what he was doing.


    Sun Pei and Su Wan were both waiting for Li Xie to speak, causing the air in the study room to freeze.


    Sun Pei and Su Wan looked at each other, unable to think of what Li Xie would say.


    Maybe it was related to Su Ding, maybe it was related to City Lord Han.


    Li Xie retracted his train of thoughts. The reason why he had such a serious expression just now was because he was thinking about something.


    After considering the matter clearly, Li Xie''s eyes had already become much more cheerful.


    Li Xie glanced at Sun Pei and saw expectation and doubt in their eyes.


    I think it''s true that Lord Su was kidnapped. Li Xie said firmly.


    Hm? Brother Li, didn''t you say that you personally saw Old Master Su kill City Lord Han? Isn''t this proof that Old Master Su was kidnapped by him? Sun Pei said with doubt.


    Young Master Li, did you discover something? Su Wan asked urgently.


    Mn, I originally thought that all of this was a scheme personally crafted by Old Master Su, but what happened tonight allowed me to overturn this thought. Li Xie said.


    Brother Li, you mean about Lord Su sending people to kidnap the Ye Family''s Patriarch? Sun Pei asked.


    That''s right, if Old Master Su had truly sent people to kidnap the Ye Family''s Patriarch, then his goal is to let the Ye Family and Su Family fight to the death? This would absolutely not be beneficial to his Su Family. Li Xie said.


    Sun Pei thoughtfully nodded her head, this matter was indeed very strange, and on top of that, it did not make sense.


    Su Ding was such a shrewd person, how could he commit such a deadly mistake?


    There should be a third party in there, out of sight.


    They didn''t know where to start, whether it was the powers in Zhong Yuan City or the forces from other forces.


    I already said that my father was definitely not a gambler, the hundred years of foundation of Su Family are more important to him than his life, why would he take the hundred years of foundation of Su Family as an adventure! Su Wan said.


    Sun Pei turned her face and stared at Su Wan. She could see that the big stone in her heart had fallen.


    Miss Su, is there any other extremely strong power hidden in the city? Li Xie looked at Su Wan and asked.


    Not as far as I know. Su Wan frowned and said.


    After Li Xie finished listening to what Su Wan had to say, he once again sank into deep thought.


    If there was no third family of extremely powerful forces, then just who had plotted against the wind and rain over the past few days in the Zhong Yuan City?


    In the blink of an eye, a few hours later, the Zhong Yuan City once again entered into the daytime.


    The news of what happened last night in the Su Mansion had already spread throughout the streets and alleys. There were also quite a few commoners who hurriedly moved away from the Zhong Yuan City.


    Zhong Yuan City was no longer a place where one could peacefully live and work, and there were even the possibility of death at any time.


    The business of the restaurants and inns in the city had lightened by a lot, and there were even a few that were about to close.


    City Lord Han Jinshan suddenly disappeared, and the patrolling soldiers in Zhong Yuan City City disappeared as well.


    In just a few days of hard work, his Zhong Yuan City had completely changed.


    The previously bustling and lively street now only had a few scattered people passing by. Moreover, the faces of the passersby were now filled with worry.


    Bang!


    Following the sound of an enormous explosion, a figure descended from the skies and landed on the ground in the front courtyard of Su Mansion.


    In an instant, everyone within the Su Mansion ran to the front courtyard.


    This of course included Li Xie, Sun Pei and Su Wan. They appeared the earliest.


    The person lying on the ground was tightly wrapped in coarse cloth from top to bottom. It was unknown whether the person under the thick cloth was a man or a woman.


    Li Xie quickly walked over, and then stopped beside the person lying on the ground.


    He bent down to remove the coarse cloth from the face of the person on the ground. When he focused his eyes, his eyes immediately widened.


    This person who was completely wrapped in coarse cloth was not a stranger, but someone that Li Xie knew, and was a very famous person.


    Father!


    Su Wan took a step forward to see the face of the person who was lying on the ground clearly, and exclaimed out loud.


    As if she was a big tree amidst the storm, Su Wan almost fainted when she was on the verge of collapsing.


    Sun Pei immediately walked forward to support Su Wan, stabilizing her body.


    Master!


    In that instant, the Su Mansion was filled with the sound of wailing.


    Not long after, with no one knowing who was behind the scenes, the news of Su Ding''s death spread throughout the streets and alleys of the Zhong Yuan City.


    The citizens of Zhong Yuan City completely sank into panic, and even more chose to leave the Zhong Yuan City.


    This situation was getting worse and worse, as if no one could stop it.


    By the afternoon, even the Su Mansion was already empty.


    Su Wan didn''t stop those who wanted to leave. After all, their Su Family were already different from before, and they might not have the ability to protect their safety.


    Su Wan was already unable to see the direction the Su Family would turn into tomorrow.


    Just a few days ago, by scheming, Su Family caused the forces of the Dongfang family in the Ziyang City to collapse. Dongfang Liang and Dongfang slowly woke up and died.


    If nothing unexpected happened, the Su Family would very likely become the number one clan in the East Qin Kingdom, however, the situation would change drastically.


    Su Wan''s delicate eyebrows were tightly knitted, and she didn''t know who she should find to discuss things with at this moment.


    Su Wan could only walk back and forth in the backyard of Su Mansion alone.


    She took a glance at her surroundings. The enormous and empty Su Mansion made her feel very unfamiliar.


    After a long sigh, Su Wan''s worries became more and more apparent.


    If Su Cheng was here right now, how nice would it be! Su Wan could not help but say.


    Sis, don''t panic, I''m here!


    Su Wan was immediately ecstatic, she seemed to have heard Su Cheng''s voice.


    She thought she was hallucinating. She knocked on her head with all her might, trying to wake herself up.


    Sis, I''m right behind you!


    Su Wan immediately turned around and looked forward as her eyes flashed with tears.


    He''s back, Su Cheng is really back! This was all not an illusion!


    Su Cheng quickly walked in front of Su Wan. It had been a long time since they last met, and she had a lot of things that he wanted to say, but he didn''t know what to say.


    Su Wan stretched out her left hand and pinched Su Cheng''s arm with all his might. The strength was extremely strong, causing Su Cheng to frown.


    Sis, I''m sorry, I came back late! Su Cheng said apologetically.


    Fortunately, father is no longer here, so I can only rely on you for Su Family! Su Wan said.


    Mm, I will definitely make those people pay! Su Cheng said fiercely.


    After a while, Su Wan anxiously found Li Xie, who was practicing his sword in a spacious place.


    Not far from Li Xie, Sun Pei stood by the side, quietly watching.


    When Su Wan''s footsteps were heard, Li Xie withdrew his Nine Souls Sword.


    Su Wan walked over to Li Xie with quick steps and knelt down on the ground.


    Li Xie saluted back to Su Wan and saw a trace of light in his eyes. As for where this light came from, he immediately understood.


    Young Master Li, Han Jinshan is still alive! Su Wan said, her tone was filled with anger.


    Li Xie frowned, he had personally witnessed Han Jinshan''s death by Su Ding''s hands. Could it be that everything that happened that day was an illusion?

 C138

    After all, Su Ding''s body was already lying inside the Su Mansion, which was beyond Li Xie''s expectations.


    The current Li Xie was a little dizzy. He could not differentiate between what he had seen, what was real, and what was fake.


    Miss Su, where is Han Jinshan now? Just as he finished speaking, Sun Pei was already standing beside Li Xie.


    In Sun Pei''s opinion, as long as she could find Han Jinshan, perhaps all the storms of the Zhong Yuan City would be resolved.


    He was currently in the midst of City Lord''s Mansion! Su Wan said resolutely.


    Li Xie and Sun Pei looked at each other and exchanged ideas.


    If Han Jinshan was really still alive, then all of this would be a scheme that he planned himself.


    With the relationship between Han Jinshan and Su Ding, if Han Jinshan were to suddenly make a move, Su Ding would definitely be caught off guard, and it was equivalent to having his hands tied.


    Furthermore, if Han Jinshan wanted to secretly enter the Su Mansion, it would definitely not be a difficult matter.


    Let''s go to City Lord''s Mansion now! Li Xie clenched his fists and said.


    Not long after, Li Xie and the rest stepped into the empty City Lord''s Mansion.


    The City Lord''s Mansion in front of their eyes had already lost all of their former elegance, whether it was the officers or servants, none of them remained.


    Moreover, there was still a trace of rotten smell in the air, the City Lord''s Mansion seemed to be an old house that had been abandoned for a long time.


    The footsteps of Li Xie and the others echoed in the skies above the City Lord''s Mansion, clear and distant.


    After searching the front courtyard of the City Lord''s Mansion once, they didn''t discover anything and continued to walk toward the rear courtyard of the City Lord''s Mansion.


    When Li Xie and the rest walked into the City Lord''s Mansion backyard, they immediately felt a chill down their spine.


    The front yard and the back yard of City Lord''s Mansion were like two different places, they were equally impressive.


    Li Xie and the others did not let down their guard. They kept observing their surroundings, guarding against any dangers that might appear at any moment.


    The City Lord''s Mansion now was no longer the City Lord''s Mansion that they were familiar with, and they even more so did not know where it was possible for Han Jinshan to be hiding.


    Phew...


    Li Xie and the rest suddenly stopped in their tracks as they looked forward. Coincidentally, in front of them was the living room of City Lord''s Mansion.


    The living room seemed to have grown a pair of hands as they greeted them.


    The voice had obviously come from the living room. They couldn''t tell what it was.


    Li Xie took the lead and quickly entered the living room, Sun Pei and Su Wan following closely behind.


    "Whiz!"


    When Li Xie and the rest turned to look at the door, Han Jinshan had already appeared in their line of sight.


    At this moment, Han Jinshan''s face was brimming with a light smile, as if he was still the same Han Jinshan of the past.


    The sudden appearance of Li Xie and the others did not surprise him at all.


    Paper could not wrap fire in the end, so Han Jinshan naturally knew of this principle and was already prepared for it.


    Han Jinshan cupped his fists towards Li Xie and the others, and they acted as if it had been a long time since they last met.


    This time, they were meeting to get to know each other. The Elemental Energy in his body had already flowed all over his body.


    At this time, Han Jinshan took a step forward, just to see Li Xie and the others more clearly.


    Mayor Han, did you really plot all this? Li Xie frowned and asked.


    Once upon a time, Han Jinshan was one of the people that Li Xie was most familiar with in the Zhong Yuan City, but now, he was completely unfamiliar with him.


    Yes, you already know all about it, don''t you? Why ask? Han Jinshan said calmly.


    What exactly are you doing this for? Completely destroy Su Family? Li Xie asked harshly.


    That''s right, the real reason why I, Zhong Yuan City, have held the position of city master for so many years is to destroy Su Family! Han Jinshan said calmly.


    Han Jinshan, to think that my father trusted you so much, wouldn''t your conscience hurt? Su Wan pointed at Han Jinshan''s nose and shouted.


    Conscience? My conscience is to complete the mission given to me by the Overlord! Han Jinshan said.


    Li Xie raised his eyebrows. So it turned out that Han Jinshan was someone that the East Qin Kingdom Overlord had purposely placed at the Zhong Yuan City.


    All these years, Han Jinshan had always allowed the Ye Family and Su Family to coexist.


    Hence, he received quite a bit of praise and further solidified his position in the Zhong Yuan City. It seemed that all of these were his plans.


    It wasn''t until Han Jinshan defeated the Dongfang Family with his Su Family that he finally couldn''t take action.


    If he still did not make a move, perhaps his Zhong Yuan City would really be at the level of Su Family.


    Li Xie was part of his plan, he hoped that Li Xie could become a sharp blade in his hands.


    Although Li Xie had woken up in time, Han Jinshan did not feel that Li Xie had the ability to stop his plan from continuing.


    City Master Han, the stability of your Zhong Yuan City is a result of your painstaking efforts, do you really have the heart to destroy it? Li Xie asked solemnly.


    Once I flatten the Su Family and the Ye Family, the stability of the Zhong Yuan City will return! Han Jinshan said confidently.


    Han Jinshan, give me your life, I want to avenge father! Before he finished speaking, Su Wan summoned a steel needle and rushed towards Han Jinshan.


    Han Jinshan actually dared to attack him, it was simply a joke.


    He had eaten more salt than Su Wan, so Su Wan was no different from a thin piece of wood in her eyes.


    Just as Su Wan was in front of Han Jinshan, she glared and in a moment, Su Wan was blown away by the wind and into the guest hall.


    Bang!


    Su Wan fell from the air and onto the ground, immediately in a sorry state.


    Han Jinshan tapped his feet on the ground and in the blink of an eye, he was beside Su Wan.


    Han Jinshan looked down at Su Wan. Su Wan''s appearance was extremely good, and was the perfect time to enjoy the glory of being rich. Unfortunately, she was soon going to become an ice-cold corpse.


    Swoosh!


    Han Jinshan raised his brows, as a Sword Qi rushed towards his back. He immediately turned around and waved his hand, and the Sword Qi that pounced towards him immediately disintegrated into nothingness.


    Separated by ten steps, Han Jinshan stared coldly at Li Xie.


    Actually, he had already wanted to compete with Li Xie for a while, but he had always suffered because he did not have the chance.


    Now that the chance had come, Han Jinshan was prepared to let Li Xie have a good look at what a true Ranker truly looked like.


    At this moment, Su Wan''s left hand suddenly supported the ground as she instantly stood up, and fiercely stabbed the steel needle towards Han Jinshan''s back.


    Han Jinshan smirked, and then, he flung his left hand backwards, sending Su Wan flying with a swing of the Elemental Energy.


    Bang


    Su Wan laid on the ground once again, but this time blood had seeped out from the corner of her mouth, and her hair was in a mess.


    Whoosh ¡­ Whoosh ¡­


    Li Xie had already rushed to the front of Han Jinshan, and thrusted the Nine Souls Sword towards his vitals.


    Just a few nights ago, Li Xie had seen Han Jinshan''s skill before. The current Han Jinshan and the Han Jinshan of that night were like two completely different people.


    Han Jinshan had been hiding his strength too well, so very few people knew that he was this high in the Martial Cultivator.


    They had only just exchanged moves, but Li Xie had already determined that Han Jinshan was at least a Martial Cultivator of the upper level of the Burning Realm.


    Li Xie''s speed of swinging the sword was extremely fast, but in Han Jinshan''s eyes, it was surprisingly slow.


    Even though Li Xie had used all sorts of different sword moves, Han Jinshan still felt that they were full of loopholes.


    Han Jinshan raised his hand and directly grabbed onto the Nine Souls Sword, causing the Sword Qi that was in the air to disappear like smoke in thin air.


    Han Jinshan sneered at Li Xie, waiting for him to open his mouth and beg for mercy.


    Li Xie glared and took the opportunity to pull out the Nine Souls Sword, then thrusted towards Han Jinshan''s heart.


    Han Jinshan turned around and appeared behind Li Xie. With a swing of his left hand, numerous Elemental Energy threw themselves at Li Xie and directly sent him flying.
