“Who dares harm my disciple?!”
The voice rang out, and everyone froze.
Who was this newcomer? Xuanji Holy Lord actually had a master? With her formidable power, her master must be beyond imagination! After all, few in the Five Domains could possibly be Xuanji Holy Lord’s teacher!
Sikong Hou frowned, a flicker of worry in his eyes as he glanced at the injured Xuanji Holy Lord in the distance.
Xuanji Holy Lord’s beautiful eyes swirled, her snow-white neck tilting slightly as she looked towards the void. “Master is here…” She knew she couldn’t contend with Sikong Hou and his two allies. She possessed the Dao Rhyme of a Three-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme, but her actual cultivation was still far too weak. Though the Dao of Eerie Scripture could counter the Sikong Family’s techniques, it was no match for their sheer power. If she were at her peak, bolstered by the Dao of Eerie Scripture, she could slaughter the Sikong Family Old Ancestors like chickens!
At that moment, countless eyes turned to the depths of the void, especially those enslaved outside the Eerie Abyss. They desperately hoped the Sikong Family would be annihilated immediately! Such a vile force had no place in the Eastern Wilds!
“Boom!”
“Crack!”
The void tore open! Space twisted! From the rift, Lu Xuan emerged. Clad in a white robe, his long dark hair flowed like a river, his brows sharp as swords, his eyes like distant stars. A faint divine radiance shimmered around him, his cultivation imperceptible, like a Divine King descending to the mortal realm. He made no attempt to conceal his face.
Seeing this, Sikong Hou frowned. “Is that all?” he thought. “I expected some peerless expert! This white-robed youth is full of flaws.”
With a thought, Lu Xuan appeared beside Xuanji Holy Lord. He gently pulled her up from the void, his gaze falling on the trace of blood at the corner of her lips. “Baili, are you alright?”
Xuanji Holy Lord wiped the blood from her mouth. “I’m fine.”
Lu Xuan nodded. “I’ll heal you now.”
A faint blush crept onto Xuanji Holy Lord’s face. She knew the profound mystery of Lu Xuan’s Heaven-reaching Medical Dao, how it resonated with the very fabric of heaven and earth. That power would make her feel… strange. A state she had never experienced before.
Sikong Hou and his two allies had been staring intently at Lu Xuan and Xuanji Holy Lord. Seeing the blush on Xuanji Holy Lord’s face, Sikong Hou felt as if ten thousand worms were gnawing at his heart. Xuanji Holy Lord was known as the “Ten-Thousand-Year Iceberg”; when had she ever shown such an expression? Throughout countless epochs, the number of cultivators pursuing her across the Five Domains was vast, yet she had always been unsmiling and silent. To see her like this before this white-robed youth… it infuriated him!
Lu Xuan raised his hand, completely ignoring the three Sikong Family members. Heaven-reaching power surged, ready to descend upon Xuanji Holy Lord’s body. Suddenly, the three Sikong Family members could no longer bear it. Sikong Hou snarled, “Who are you?! Are you ignoring us?!”
Lu Xuan paused, a faint flicker of realization in his eyes. “Ah, I forgot there were three ants watching.”
At his words, a collective gasp echoed through the crowd.
“Hiss!” To call Three-rotation Quasi-Dao Supremes “ants”! Could this white-robed youth be a true Supreme?
At that moment, Sikong Hou and his two allies surrounded Lu Xuan and Xuanji Holy Lord. Boom! They unleashed their most potent killing techniques. Terrifying power surged through the void, tearing space apart, manifesting “Dao” and “Rhyme.” Three divine rivers of light materialized above Lu Xuan’s head.
Lu Xuan merely flicked his sleeve, and a single streak of divine light shot forth, a brilliant bolt of energy, slashing towards the three of them.
Boom! Crack! In an instant, the terrifying power unleashed by Sikong Hou and his allies was utterly annihilated, their divine light extinguishing like dead stars. “How… how is this possible?!” The three Sikong Family members were dumbfounded. This white-robed youth must also be a Three-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme! But his strength was absurdly, impossibly powerful! They were not entirely wrong; thanks to Xuanji Holy Lord’s One-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme cultivation feedback, Lu Xuan had indeed reached the Three-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme realm!
The next moment, Lu Xuan’s casual strike, imbued with terrifying power, descended upon Sikong Hou’s head. The faces of the three men turned ashen, as if they had swallowed ten pounds of excrement. This power filled them with dread. It seemed utterly unremarkable, yet it was unstoppable!
Sikong Hou immediately conjured an ancient, ominous spirit weapon—a massive seal stained with terrifying aura. It expanded rapidly, transforming into a small mountain, devouring mountains and rivers with its might. Inscribed upon it were terrifying cosmic forces, resonating with Sikong Hou’s own aura. It was indestructible! The other two Sikong Family Old Ancestors also summoned their formidable spirit weapons—all defensive artifacts! These were Outer World Treasures they had acquired from the Bronze Ancient Palace in previous epochs! Conjuring them now filled them with immense heartache. These were meant to be their trump cards for the Supreme Path in this very era! The three Outer World Treasures glowed in the void, radiating boundless divine light, like three blazing suns.
But then, Lu Xuan’s power arrived. “Boom!” “Crack!” In but a single instant, the three Outer World defensive spirit weapons shattered directly, then disintegrated into dust! Sikong Hou was utterly dumbfounded. What kind of power was that white-robed youth wielding? A single strike to obliterate spirit weapons? Everyone was stunned. The white-robed youth was indeed far more powerful than Xuanji Holy Lord! The Sikong Family had truly kicked a steel plate this time! To be Xuanji Holy Lord’s master, he certainly had some tricks up his sleeve!
At this point, Sikong Hou frantically threw out more defensive spirit weapons and talismans, every defensive item he possessed, to block the lingering might of Lu Xuan’s attack. But it was useless! Every defense was utterly meaningless before this strike. Sikong Hou roared, “Fellow Daoist, please stop!”
Lu Xuan completely ignored him.
Sikong Hou’s face twisted into a snarl. “Your Excellency, are you trying to oppose a Supreme-tier faction?! I’m going to call for backup!”
Lu Xuan scoffed. “Go ahead and call. See if I care.”
The next moment, Sikong Hou had just pulled out a Communication Jade Slip, but before he could crush it, Lu Xuan’s divine light annihilated him and his two allies. Poof, poof, poof! A spray of blood mist erupted in the void. The three magnate Old Ancestors of the Sikong Family were dead, just like that!
Outside the Eerie Abyss, the enslaved cultivators erupted in cheers. “Hahahahaha!” “Excellent! This is truly excellent!” “The Sikong Family finally got what they deserved!” At this moment, Lu Xuan stood tall in the void, and the Sikong Family elders dared not even scold the slaves.
Thump! Thump! A multitude of slaves outside the Eerie Abyss all knelt before Lu Xuan. “White Robe Supreme!” “White Robe Supreme! Please, annihilate this cancerous growth, the Sikong Family!”
Lu Xuan calmly said, “Rise.”
The crowd remained kneeling. In the past, they knelt to the Sikong Family out of fear! Now, they knelt to Lu Xuan out of reverence! This was a true powerhouse! A Nine-star Great Emperor wept bitterly, recounting the Sikong Family’s atrocities. “White Robe Supreme, the Sikong Family and other Supreme-tier factions in the Eastern Wilds enslave cultivators from other forces. They raise us like Gu worms, forcing us to refine and test their cultivation techniques. If you can destroy the Sikong Family, we are willing to pledge allegiance to you, Senior!”
Lu Xuan simply replied, “No need. The Sikong Family made you kneel, but I tell you to stand up! How you walk your path from now on is your own business.”
