The onlookers were shocked to their core.
A Half-Emperor strong man was actually calling Xu Nian master?
And knelt down in the sky?
Unless they saw it with their own eyes, even if they were beaten to death, they wouldn't believe it.
The Xu Family mbers were stupefied.
A protector of such strength was actually by Xu Nian's side.
The surprises Xu Nian brought to them were truly one bigger than the other.
Of course, the person with the ugliest expression right now was Situ Yu.
He could never have imagined that this Half-Emperor strong man before him was actually Xu Nian's Spiritual Pet.
The Imperial Power Challenge had a binding effect on Emperor-level strong n.
Whether Holy-level strong n had just broken through to the Emperor Level or were at the Half-Emperor stage,
there would be a contract that would automatically appear in their minds.
The content of the contract was as follows.
Battle Emperor Level powerhouses are not allowed to easily strike at strong n below Emperor level.
Otherwise, they will face severe punishnt.
However, there is one exception.
That is the Battle Emperor Level Spiritual Pets.
As long as their masters have not reached the Battle Emperor Level, and the Spiritual Pets have,
then the contract will not restrain the Battle Emperor Level Spiritual Pets.
Only when the masters also reach the Battle Emperor Level will the Spiritual Pets fall under the restraint.
But such a situation is almost impossible to occur.
Because ordinary Spiritual Pets find it very difficult to surpass their masters in cultivation.
Unless this master has a powerful force behind them.
Otherwise, the stronger the Demon Beast, the prouder they generally are.
It's very difficult to bow their heads to soone weaker than themselves.
So, when the people saw that this Half-Emperor Level Demon Beast was actually Xu Nian's Spiritual Pet,
they all found it incredibly unbelievable.
Xu Xin was also stunned beyond belief.
Not until this mont did her hanging heart completely let go.
With a Half-Emperor strong man protecting Xu Nian, nothing would happen to him.
"Master, should I just kill this man?" Black Hou ca before Xu Nian, pointing to the distant Situ Yu and said.
His tone was thick with disdain.
It was as if he wasn't talking about a Peak Saint Powerhouse, but just a weak chicken.
Upon hearing this, Situ Yu's face changed imdiately.
If this Half-Emperor strong man really made a move, Situ Yu feared he would not be able to escape death today.
The onlookers were also filled with emotion.
Just now, they thought Xu Nian was unable to escape death.
But now, the tables had turned, and it was Situ Yu's life that Xu Nian controlled.
It was truly unexpected.
The Saints from the Fang and Ye Families were also trembling in their hearts.
They feared today they too would not escape death.
"Let them go."
However, just when everyone thought Xu Nian would let the Half-Emperor Senior start a massacre,
Xu Nian spoke directly.
The onlookers were all stunned, including Situ Yu, who looked at Xu Nian with confusion.
He didn't believe Xu Nian would let them go.
Was he showing rcy?
Impossible!
From Xu Nian's decisive actions earlier, it was clear he was far from a rciful person.
So why would he suddenly hold back?
"You really let us go?" Situ Yu asked in astonishnt.
Xu Nian let out a cold laugh, "Go back and tell your masters, whoever wants to seek revenge can co find , but if they dare to lay a finger on anyone close to , even if you're from the Imperial Family, I will turn your world upside down."
Situ Yu was taken aback.
"Alright, I will deliver the ssage," Situ Yu replied.
"Now get lost!" Black Hou bellowed.
```
Situ Yu's body trembled, and he quickly stowed away the Stam Giant.
Then, he turned into a streak of flowing light and left.
Upon seeing this, the people from the Fang and Ye Families dared not tarry and imdiately turned into streaks of light that vanished into the horizon.
The crowd around watched the Saints flee in panic, feeling a myriad of emotions.
Even up to this mont, they still felt like everything that had happened was just a dream.
Too astonishing, and utterly surreal.
A youth, who killed three Saints.
Warded off the Four Great Forces.
Such feats of battle, truly unprecedented and likely never to be replicated.
"Master, why let them go? Wouldn't it be better to just kill them?" Black Hou questioned, unable to understand.
The Demon Saints and the Artifact Refining Sect Elders were all puzzled.
Xu Nian had already killed so many people, even if he let these go,
these forces would likely not spare him anyway.
Instead of letting them go, it might be better to just kill them.
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian just smiled.
Killing these Saints would be aningless.
They were all acting on orders, and unless he dealt with their masters behind the scenes, the pursuit would not cease.
If Xu Nian ordered their deaths,
then they could easily beco like rabid dogs, biting wildly.
Instead of that, it might be better to let them carry a ssage back.
That way, if they sought vengeance, they would only co for him, sparing the people by his side from being involved.
Sotis, killing cannot solve every problem.
Moderation is key!
Especially now that Xu Nian's personal strength was not yet sufficient to instill fear in others.
So, if soone targeted his family, he would be powerless to stop them.
This was sothing he had to consider.
"Sister, are you alright?" Xu Xin approached and asked with concern.
"I'm fine!" Xu Nian replied with a gentle smile on his face.
In fact, the Xu Family stood by without taking action.
He had seen it all.
However, Xu Nian held no resentnt towards this, only so disappointnt.
He believed that after this battle, the Xu family mbers would definitely start taking him seriously.
They certainly wouldn't treat his mother lightly.
"Sister, how is mother doing now?" Xu Nian asked a question he had long wanted to know the answer to.
"Mother is fine. At my request, the Family Head has transferred her from the dungeon to a separate residence, though I can only see her once a month," Xu Xin replied.
Having been raised by her grandfather outside of the main family, she especially longed for her parents. Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire
She was overjoyed when her mother was brought back to the family.
It was a pity that she could only see her once a month.
It was also her mother who had told her of Xu Nian's existence.
Xu Nian nodded upon hearing Xu Xin's words.
And then turned to look at the Saint from the Xu family approaching.
"Go back and tell the Family Head Xu that the Artifact Refining Sect Master will pay a visit soon. If any harm cos to my mother during this ti, I trust the Xu Family is well aware of the consequences," Xu Nian said coldly.
The Xu Family Saint frowned.
Xu Nian's identity was that of the Artifact Refining Sect Master, not admitting himself as a mber of the Xu Family.
Clearly, he was dissatisfied with their previous inaction.
But thinking of Black Hou by Xu Nian's side, he couldn't muster any anger.
He could only nod and respond, "Very well, the Xu Family awaits the Sect Master's grand arrival."
Hearing this, Xu Nian scoffed coldly.
"Sister, won't you co back with us?" Xu Xin asked, her brows knitted in concern.
"No, I have so things to take care of. I'll co to the Imperial Capital to find you once I'm done," Xu Nian said with a smile.
A hint of disappointnt flashed in Xu Xin's eyes, but she nodded anyway.
Xu Nian felt a warm feeling in his heart seeing this.
Xu Xin's presence brought him the long-missed warmth of familial affection.
So, from the mont he recognized Xu Xin, he had another person in his heart to protect with his life.
As for returning to the Xu Family, now was not the ti.
Heading to the Imperial Capital now would be tantamount to seeking death!
