"How dare you!"

  "Daring to kill a disciple of the Profound Demon Sect, did you not consider the consequences of such an action?"

  "Even if you are a Nascent Soul cultivator, you will find it hard to escape the relentless pursuit of our Profound Demon Sect!"

  The Bck-robed Elder's eyes were as fierce and sinister as a hawk's.

  He looked at Xu Xiao, unleashing the overwhelming aura of his sixth-level Nascent Soul cultivation.

  Instantly, the entire Lin Cn Residence was enveloped in this terrifying Nascent Soul aura.

  The nearby mortal servants, merely caught in this oppressive force, fainted on the spot, severely injured!

  The Middle-aged Man and the Beautiful Lady beside him were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly.

  They were only Core Formation stage cultivators, and under the terrifying pressure released by the Bck-robed Elder, their faces turned pale with shock!

  "Elder Ying! Please calm your anger! There must be some misunderstanding!"

  The Middle-aged Man shouted hastily.

  Fear gripped his heart.

  Elder Ying, at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul, was a senior elder with real power in the Profound Demon Sect!

  His cultivation was profound, and he had mastered the Profound Demon Technique to perfection. In a real fight, this Elder Xu from the Misty Sect might not be a match!

  Because he couldn't sense the Nascent Soul aura from the other side, it was possible that this Elder Xu was just an Outer Sect Elder with high seniority but low strength!

  "Misunderstanding?!"

  Elder Ying's eyes were filled with killing intent, and he pressed on aggressively, "There's no misunderstanding! Eight disciples of the Profound Demon Sect are dead! This old man has committed a capital crime!"

  "The Misty Sect, an ancient sect with a reputation for being mysterious, I want to see if it's just an empty name!"

  His wrath and disdain intertwined as he looked at Xu Xiao, who seemed to be only at the Core Formation stage, with murderous intent.

  The other party came alone, likely just an Outer Sect Elder of the Misty Sect.

  Killing eight Core Formation disciples of the Profound Demon Sect, even if this old man is killed, the Misty Sect wouldn't have a case!

  Courting death!

  With a swift motion of his hands.

  A surge of Bck Fiendish Qi emerged from Elder Ying's hands.

  The Bck Fiendish Qi swirled above his head, transforming into a massive ghostly face, which flew fiercely towards Xu Xiao!

  "Kill the one who killed my Profound Demon Sect disciples!"

  The bck ghostly face, carrying an extremely terrifying might, opened its blood-red mouth wide enough to swallow Xu Xiao whole.

  The tter's aged face showed a hint of disdain.

  The people of the Demon Sect seemed to have been driven foolish by their demonic cultivation.

  His two withered hands lifted slightly.

  Red and yellow fmes emerged from the void!

  As soon as the two fist-sized fmes appeared, a terrifying heat wave rolled forth.

  It seemed as if the air would melt, as the fmes transformed into two Fire Phoenixes, rushing forward and crashing into the terrifying ghostly face with a puff.

  The sizzling sound of burning resounded continuously.

  In less than two breaths, the ghostly face devour technique was completely incinerated by Xu Xiao's fmes, leaving no trace!

  Elder Ying's expression changed dramatically, his sinister eyes filled with shock.

  The Middle-aged Man and the Beautiful Lady behind him were equally astonished as they looked at Xu Xiao. This elder... although he seemed not to have reached the Nascent Soul Realm, his fire technique was truly terrifying!

  Could this be the foundation of the Misty Sect?!

  "Whoosh!"

  Just as everyone was reacting, still immersed in shock, Xu Xiao moved his sword finger, and a fming meteor shot into the sky.

  The fming meteor then dove down, heading straight for Elder Ying's chest!

  "Misty Sect old man! Do not underestimate my Profound Demon Sect!!"

  Elder Ying's face turned furious, and an iron round shield flew out from his chest.

  The round shield, gilded and wrapped in gold, transformed into a Vajra Light Wall in front of him as soon as it was summoned.

  This was his prized High-Grade Magical Artifact, the Golden Light Shield, and with his sixth-level Nascent Soul strength, its defensive power was formidable.

  No magical sword could shatter the defense of his Golden Light Shield!

  "Boom!!!"

  The Southern Radiance Fme-Severing Sword collided with the Vajra Light Wall, unleashing a shocking wave of energy.

  Lin Yan'er and the Middle-aged Man were pushed back repeatedly by the shockwave, barely able to maintain their footing.

  The battle of Nascent Soul stage cultivators was indeed terrifying!

  "Crack!"

  Under the impact of the Southern Radiance Fme-Severing Sword, cracks spread from the sword tip embedded in the Vajra Light Wall.

  The red and yellow fmes enveloping the sword sizzled, dimming the light of the shield.

  This scene left Elder Ying extremely shaken.

  He found it almost unbelievable!

  "Boom!!!"

  The Southern Radiance Fme-Severing Sword, as a Magical Treasure, carried with it intense fmes.

  In a moment, it shattered the Vajra Light Wall formed by the Golden Light Shield!

  This was the power contained within Xu Xiao's first-level Core Formation strength.

  If he reached the Nascent Soul stage, the Southern Radiance Fme-Severing Sword and Earth Fire would be even stronger!

  "Impossible!!!"

  Elder Ying's sinister eyes were greatly shaken.

  Before he could react, the Southern Radiance Fme-Severing Sword struck the Golden Light Shield's main body, shattering the gilded round shield into pieces with a boom!

  Then, without losing momentum.

  With a whoosh, the sword pierced through Elder Ying's withered chest at an astonishing speed.

  The opponent's Sword Control Technique was so fast that he didn't even have the chance to use other techniques before being pierced by the sword, the fmes scorching his body!

  "You... you..."

  Elder Ying clutched his chest, terror spreading across his old face.

  He never imagined that an ordinary Core Formation elder could unleash such a powerful attack!

  His supposedly indestructible Golden Light Shield couldn't even withstand a single blow!

  The red and yellow fmes on his chest burned fiercely, threatening to consume him.

  But he was already severely injured, his spiritual energy dissipating, unable to suppress the terrifying fmes.

  "You are courting death!"

  "Old thief! My Profound Demon Sect won't let you off... ah!!"

  The fmes instantly engulfed Elder Ying's entire body, and amidst endless terror and despair, he was reduced to a charred corpse.

  Dead beyond dead!

  Retrieving the Southern Radiance Fme-Severing Sword, Xu Xiao stroked his handsome goatee and looked at the Lin family members, whose faces were ashen.

  He smiled slightly and said, "I am Xu Xiao, an Inner Sect Elder of the Misty Sect, here to take Lin Yan'er back to the sect for cultivation."

  "Who is the head of the Lin family?"

  Calm and collected, Xu Xiao, who had just killed a group of Profound Demon Sect disciples, now seemed like an ordinary old man.

  Harmless to humans and animals.

  The middle-aged man in fine clothes came to his senses, his face pale as he trembled and stepped forward.

  He approached Xu Xiao, still somewhat fearful, and cupped his fists in salute, "Greetings, Elder Xu! I am Lin Dadong... Lin Yan'er's father..."

  Beside him, a Beautiful Lady in pace attire, with a graceful figure, also trembled as she approached.

  She had a lovely face, appearing in her thirties, exuding the mature charm of a young matron.

  The two were extraordinarily shocked in their hearts.

  This Elder Xu was actually an Inner Sect Elder?!

  Yan'er, she knew an elder from the Inner Mountain of the Misty Sect?!

  Lin Yan'er looked at Xu Xiao, her beautiful, bright eyes filled with admiration and reverence. Elder Xu... was so powerful...

  At this moment, a middle-aged man in a golden robe hurriedly ran in from outside the main courtyard of the Lin family.

  When he saw the Profound Demon Sect disciples reduced to ashes and the charred remains of Elder Ying.

  His oily, plump face turned pale with fear as he anxiously addressed Lin Dadong, "Brother Lin! What... what on earth happened here?!"

  "How did Elder Ying end up like this!!"

  He was Jin Hao, the City Lord of Goldstone City.

  He was the one who handled this marriage arrangement.

  Now, before the young master Li Jiuye of the Profound Demon Sect even arrived for the marriage, all the Profound Demon Sect people were dead?!

  He was about to faint from fright!
