Blood.
Crimson blood, staining almost the entire snowy ground red.
Xue Shiyin didn’t understand. Her parents always said the Xue Family was a powerful family...
Why had such a tragedy befallen them overnight?
In the distance, severed limbs littered the snow. Among them were the bodies of her parents.
Xue Shiyin wrapped her cotton-padded jacket tighter, hugging her knees as she shivered in a corner.
The Concealing Array her great-grandfather had hastily set up hid her in this corner. The Array blocked out the cold, but Xue Shiyin still felt a chill that pierced her to the bone.
Her body trembled uncontrollably as she sat in the corner, hugging her knees in agony. "Father’s dead, Mother’s dead, my brother’s dead, my grand-uncle’s dead..."
Xue Shiyin bit her lower lip so hard that blood and tears trickled down her chin and onto her neck.
She wanted to stand, but she had no strength.
Her mind was filled with nothing but carnage and despair.
TAP, TAP...
Just then, the sound of light footsteps approached.
Xue Shiyin looked up in terror. She saw a white-robed young man with an Ancient Sword on his back land on the snow ahead and slowly walk toward her.
The young man’s long black hair was casually draped over his shoulders. He had deep eyes and an exceptionally handso face, exuding an aura that was both wild and unrestrained, yet tinged with a world-weary depth. His every move revealed a natural Emperor’s Qi, and his untad charm was difficult to resist.
What was even more captivating was the indescribable compassion hidden within his deep eyes, a look that could break one’s heart.
He walked from the distance toward the corner where Xue Shiyin was hidden, like a thousand-year-old snow lotus—solitary, elegant, and otherworldly.
For so reason, Xue Shiyin felt she should have been panicking at the appearance of a stranger in such a desperate situation.
But not only was there no trace of panic deep inside her, the despair she had felt just monts before vanished the instant she t the young man’s eyes.
Xue Shiyin, who had been shivering from a bone-chilling cold, suddenly felt a sense of warmth.
It was as if his presence made the entire world warm.
Like facing the sea, with spring’s warmth and blooming flowers...
The white-robed youth passed through the Array her great-grandfather had set up without any resistance and lifted Xue Shiyin into his arms.
"Don’t be afraid. I’m taking you to kill."
His magnetic voice finally broke through Xue Shiyin’s restraint. She threw her arms around the youth and began to sob loudly.
The youth held her and walked out, letting her vent all her emotions.
...
The remaining mbers of the Xue Family had all gathered in the forbidden grounds of the back mountain, still putting up a desperate resistance.
The entire mountain forest was stained red with blood, and bodies were strewn everywhere.
Everyone’s heart was filled with despair...
They couldn’t escape;
They couldn’t win the fight;
And they couldn’t hold their ground...
Disaster had fallen from the heavens. As a Dark Gold Level Influence, the Xue Family had never imagined their clan would suffer such a catastrophe.
Any one of the ten leaders of the opposing force was stronger than their Elder Ancestors, and they were followed by over a hundred top-tier powerhouses!
This was a lineup that not even an ordinary Legendary Power could muster!
"Hand over the item, or we’ll slaughter every last one of you," one of the ten Demons said coldly.
The eyes of the Xue Family mbers were practically splitting with rage. Even now, aside from a single, critically injured Elder Ancestor on the verge of death, none of them knew what "item" the enemy was talking about.
Just as overwhelming despair once again rose in the hearts of the remaining Xue Family mbers, an impossibly cold voice suddenly drifted down from the sky.
"The Netherworld Holy Land’s Ten Halls of Yama?"
The ten Demons, who were just about to deal the final blow and grind the Xue Family to dust, spun around abruptly.
They saw a white-robed youth with an Ancient Sword on his back, holding a little girl, floating silently in the air. His eyes were filled with chilling frost.
He simply hovered there, looking down on the crowd of Demons from the Netherworld Holy Land with cold indifference.
Not only did he show no fear, but he looked at them as if they were already dead, his eyes filled with pity...
One of the Ten Halls of Yama stepped forward and spoke grimly, "Since you know we are from the Netherworld Holy Land, why do you still wish to interfere?"
This youth who had appeared out of nowhere had no discernible aura, yet he was clearly floating in mid-air. This made even the Ten Halls of Yama’s hearts pound with apprehension.
The more one reached their Realm, the more one feared such unfathomable opponents.
Even with all Ten Halls of Yama gathered, they would prefer to avoid a fight with such a powerhouse if possible.
The white-robed youth in the air spoke indifferently, "I have no intention of interfering in your affairs."
Hearing this, the Demons below had just begun to relax when the youth continued, "I rely wish to annihilate all of you here."
"Such arrogance! With all ten of us from the Netherworld Holy Land’s Ten Halls of Yama gathered here, not even the Four Directions Great Emperors would dare say such a thing. Aren’t you afraid you’ll bite your tongue for making such a bold claim?"
The white-robed youth in the sky didn’t reply. Instead, a divine light flashed in his eyes, and his entire aura transford instantly!
An ultimate, kingly Emperor’s Will erupted from his body. At that mont, the entire world began to tremble, and even the snow stopped falling...
"The power to overturn the world is in my hands. Defy my kingly path, and you will be slain without rcy!"
As the peerless Emperor’s Will was unleashed, with a few CRACKING sounds, the hundreds of Demon Venerable powerhouses, including the Ten Halls of Yama, were forced to their knees by a pressure that seed to emanate from the world itself!
"You... you... so it’s you! You’re the War..."
The white-robed youth slowly extended his right hand, pressing his palm down gently. "The Netherworld Holy Land will be no more. Die!"
With a seemingly casual press of his palm, a peerless, sharp aura burst forth!
An apocalyptic aura instantly detonated, engulfing everything!
The entire world seed to prostrate itself and tremble, on the verge of submission!
As the massive, sky-covering palm descended, before it even reached them, the demonic titans below didn’t even have a chance to flee before they exploded one by one in a shower of blood!
The Ten Halls of Yama were the strongest ten in the group, yet they didn’t even last two seconds.
The leader didn’t even finish his sentence before exploding into a mist of blood...
Body and soul utterly annihilated!
The mont the brilliant mists of blood appeared, they were imdiately crushed into nothingness by the unparalleled force of the palm wind.
In the blink of an eye, without even a chance to scream, this group of powerhouses from the Netherworld Holy Land—a force capable of casually slaughtering an entire Dark Gold Level Influence—vanished from the world...
"PHEW!"
Soaring through the void at an incredible speed, Xue Shiyin exhaled a long breath and pulled back from her mories.
She stroked the small bell hanging from her neck and murmured, "It’s been over two thousand years... Big Brother, are you well...?"
"I heard your successor appeared in the Purple Chu Country, so I rushed over without a mont’s delay... Why... why haven’t you co back to see after all this ti?"
"No, I don’t an to bla you. I just... I miss you so much..."
Below, the towering mountains and ridges rapidly receded as Xue Shiyin’s flight speed increased.
anwhile, at the site of the great battle between Hong Yu and Shui Tianji, a slightly recovered Hong Yu waved her wide sleeve, collecting the damaged Seven Evils Celestial Net from the ground. She then handed a Suru Ring to Luo Xingchen.
"The Seven Evils Celestial Net is no ordinary treasure. If I hadn’t recognized it and made a preemptive move to unleash its Seven Evils, I’m afraid this would have ended in mutual destruction, even with the Feather Flower Purple Copper Mirror."
"An ordinary person cannot control the Evil Qi within the Seven Evils Celestial Net. A reckless attempt could lead to being corrupted by the Evil Qi and suffering from cultivation deviation. But Lang’Er will surely have a way to handle it. Inside this ring, along with the Seven Evils Celestial Net, is the corpse of that Flood Dragon. Have soone deliver the ring to him."
Luo Xingchen nodded, took the Suru Ring, and carefully put it away.
After a mont’s hesitation, he said, "Miss Hong Yu, Shui Tianji’s clone was killed by Brother Shen Lang, and now you’ve destroyed her main body, with only her Nascent Soul escaping... After suffering such repeated blows, a demonic titan like her is unlikely to let this go..."
Hong Yu said coolly, "Her physical body has been destroyed, and her Nascent Soul is incredibly weak. If she tries to be reborn through Possession, her Cultivation will likely fall below the King Martial Realm, making her no cause for concern. If she tries to switch to cultivating a Spirit Body, it will be impossible for her to recover to her previous Cultivation level without several hundred years."
"The only thing to worry about is that she might gather reinforcents from Blood Evil Island or other Demon Path Powerhouses."
"Yes, that’s what I’m worried about." Luo Xingchen nodded. "These Demonic Cultivators are truly savage. They dared to venture deep into the heart of the Purple Chu Country and aren’t afraid of making enemies of our Imperial Dragon Sect and the other two sects. They’ve challenged our bottom line ti and again!"
"That woman now knows you possess the Feather Flower Purple Copper Mirror. If she truly gathers more powerhouses, they will have to be incredibly strong—strong enough to deal with the Feather Flower Purple Copper Mirror."
"I’ve already used a Sound Transmission Talisman to notify the sect. It’s likely so elders will arrive within a few hours. When they do..."
Hong Yu shook her head. "It doesn’t matter to . You can handle it as you see fit. Please get the Seven Evils Celestial Net to Lang’Er as soon as possible, but don’t tell him what happened here. I don’t want to distract him. I have my own ways of dealing with Blood Evil Island."
The power of the Netherworld King’s Three Extres Sword, which Hong Yu had unleashed with her full strength, had finally given her a great boost in confidence.
Her exploration of the first sword was at a critical juncture. With a little more ti, she was certain she could fully master it.
When that ti cos, even without relying on the Feather Flower Purple Copper Mirror, soone of Shui Tianji’s Cultivation level would have absolutely no chance of escaping this sword.
After achieving Great Success with the first sword, she could soon begin practicing the even more powerful second sword. With the addition of the experts from the Imperial Dragon Sect coming to help, as long as Blood Evil Island didn’t send old monsters at the Emperor Martial Realm like Black and White Impermanence, there was nothing to fear from anyone else!
"Rest assured, Miss Hong Yu, I will see to it at once!" Luo Xingchen said respectfully. "By the way, Demonic Cultivators are fickle, cruel, and vicious. It’s hard to be certain how many people from Blood Evil Island have co this ti. You should return to Celestial Phoenix City with ."
"I have already activated the Grand Array in Celestial Phoenix City. Even a King Martial Realm expert would find it absolutely impossible to break through in a short amount of ti!"
