A flash of sword light.
It was incredibly piercing.
It had coalesced out of thin air from the spot where Wang Xiyan had died.
Within the sword light, there was a phantom image.
It was none other than Xuan Tianzhan.
If Yang Ziling were awake right now...
...she would be absolutely stunned.
Because this was Sword Dao Will!
Sword Dao Will was sothing one only possessed after comprehending the Sword Dao to a certain level.
And possessing Sword Dao Will ant one was not far from condensing True Intent and becoming a Martial Saint.
In other words, on so level, Xuan Tianzhan already had the potential—or even the power—of a Martial Saint.
"You animal! How dare you kill my maid! You're courting death!"
Seeing Yang Xiao, Xuan Tianzhan's expression twisted with imnse rage.
But when Yang Xiao saw him, he was even more furious.
'This bastard actually refined the soul of the Earth Fire Qilin Beast.'
"Die!"
With a roar, Yang Xiao raised his hand and threw another punch.
It was the Fla Emperor Divine Fist again.
But its power was even greater than before.
He didn't care if this guy had condensed Sword Dao Will or so bullshit True Intent.
If he wasn't happy, he'd fight!
"You dare to attack ! You're dead! You're dead!"
When Xuan Tianzhan saw Yang Xiao's punch coming at him, he felt nothing but humiliation.
A re, lowly Martial Cultivator had not only dared to kill his maid but also dared to attack him. It was simply unforgivable.
Furious, the sword light flared.
It transford into an incredibly solid greatsword that slashed directly at Yang Xiao's fist.
BANG!
The greatsword collided with the fist wreathed in orange flas.
The surrounding space seed to freeze for a mont.
Then, it exploded.
The imnse force sent Yang Xiao flying back a great distance before he managed to steady himself.
At the sa ti, the sword light containing Xuan Tianzhan's will dissipated.
Only a single sentence lingered in the air.
"You're dead!"
And then there was no other trace of him.
As for Yang Xiao, sword marks had appeared on his face and fist.
He had been wounded by the sword light.
The surrounding trees were knocked every which way, as if swept by a hurricane, leaving the area in complete disarray.
"Hmph, you animal! Sooner or later, I will kill you!"
Yang Xiao snorted coldly.
But he knew that with his current strength, he was likely no match for this Xuan Tianzhan.
'Sword Dao Will.'
He knew about it.
Once this thing appeared among Mortal Tier Martial Artists, it was an absolutely invincible existence.
If one could comprehend so kind of slaughter-type True Intent from it, they could practically dominate an entire era.
Its power could almost rival so Sword Dao Divine Techniques at the Minor Achievent Level.
It was terrifying.
At least, to the current Yang Xiao, it was terrifying.
'I need to get out of here first and avoid him for now!'
Moving forward, Yang Xiao first picked up Wang Xiyan's Storage Ring and the Little Black Flag.
These were the only two items left after her body had been blasted apart.
Tucking the Little Black Flag into a Storage Ring, Yang Xiao began to inspect Wang Xiyan's.
As expected, he found so aura markers used for tracking inside.
Yang Xiao removed them, transferred the useful Spirit dicines and a few books into his own Storage Ring, and then tossed her ring aside.
Then, he scooped up Yang Ziling from the ground and quickly fled the area.
Although Yang Xiao wished he could kill Xuan Tianzhan right now, he knew his current strength was not enough.
If he really fought Xuan Tianzhan, not only would he fail to get revenge, but he would also get Yang Ziling killed.
Yang Xiao was obviously not foolish enough to do that.
As for killing Xuan Tianzhan, it wouldn't be long.
「...」
"Damn it!"
Atop Fla Sun Mountain, Xuan Tianzhan's expression was incredibly foul.
Standing beside him were still the red-robed young woman, Chu Hongluan, and the blue-robed young woman, Lin Shui'Er.
"Young Master, what's wrong?"
Hong Luan asked softly.
"Xiyan is dead. She died at the hands of that little animal."
Xuan Tianzhan's face was incomparably gloomy.
The mont he spoke, the mouths of both Hong Luan and Lin Shui'Er fell open.
"How is that possible? Wasn't that little thief seriously injured? Besides, Young Master, didn't you order the two of them to report back imdiately once they tracked him down and not to engage rashly..."
Hong Luan trailed off.
Xuan Tianzhan's expression grew even darker.
"Young Master, Xiyan acted on her own and deserved to die. However, we cannot let this little thief go for daring to kill her," Lin Shui'Er spoke up.
Xuan Tianzhan nodded.
"But just now, the Sect Leader sent an order for the Young Master to return. It seems there's been so progress over at the Northern Wilderness Forest..."
"I know. I know what I'm doing."
Xuan Tianzhan was reluctant.
But no matter how reluctant he was, he knew what choice to make.
The life of a re maid was far less important than the grand plan in the Northern Wilderness Forest.
Once that plan succeeded, the entire Celestial Cloud Region would be opened.
It would no longer be a closed-off domain.
'When that ti cos, all these lowly Martial Cultivators will die!'
"What about Ling'Er?"
"Send word to her. Tell her to co back."
Feng Ling'Er's strength was slightly superior to Wang Xiyan's, but Xuan Tianzhan knew she was no match for Yang Xiao.
He certainly wouldn't send her to her death.
With a pinch of his fingers, a glint of sword light shot through the air.
Xuan Tianzhan snorted coldly. "Let's go. We're returning to the Sect!"
Then he rode a beam of sword light and vanished into the sky.
Hong Luan and Lin Shui'Er exchanged a look, seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
Having followed the Young Master for so long, this was the first ti they had ever seen him like this.
But soon, the two of them also flew off.
As they moved, a glint of sword light appeared beneath each of their feet.
It was not, however, their own ability.
It was controlled by Xuan Tianzhan, who was already miles away.
If Yang Xiao were here, he would know that this man's Spiritual Level had probably also reached the Observing Micro Middle Stage.
Otherwise, how could he condense sword light from miles away and control it?
Of course, Yang Xiao was not here.
He was currently on a mountain cliff, hundreds of miles away.
The cliff was quite peculiar; its top had a hollow platform shaped like an eagle's beak. Yang Xiao chose this spot to rest for the ti being.
As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the farther you see.
Plus, with this eagle-beak-like stone platform, Yang Xiao wasn't afraid of being spotted by vicious birds flying in the sky.
It was an absolutely perfect hiding spot.
However, he didn't start cultivating imdiately. Instead, he checked on Yang Ziling's condition and found that she was rely suffering from exhaustion and overexertion.
Breathing a sigh of relief, he took out the Spirit dicine he'd gotten from Wang Xiyan, found a few suitable herbs, and refined them into a Pill to replenish her spirit and energy before giving it to her.
Now that he had reached the Orange Fla Realm, the flas within Yang Xiao's body could be released externally.
They were naturally stronger than flas condensed by controlling the Fire Elental Power of the world.
Moreover, his control over external Fire Elental Power was much stronger than when he was in the Red Fla Realm.
Now, if he were to control the Earth Fire Qilin Beast's Origin True Fla again, he would no longer need the support of the Nine Revolutions Concentration Spirit Technique.
After giving the Pill to Yang Ziling, Yang Xiao took out the Little Black Flag again.
He destroyed all the torturous restrictions inside, leaving only a single containnt restriction to prevent the Earth Fire Qilin Beast's soul from escaping.
Upon inspection, he also discovered sothing.
The soul of the Earth Fire Qilin Beast was incomplete.
It was just a remnant soul.
"It seems the main soul is still in Xuan Tianzhan's hands. That animal!"
Yang Xiao's killing intent grew even stronger.
