"You..."

  Li Jiuye looked incredulously at the elderly man in front of him.

  He was sure of it!

  The spiritual energy released by the other party was clearly only at the early Core Formation Stage!

  Yet, using that Fiery Red Flying Sword, he could even defeat a Nascent Soul cultivator?!

  Moreover, he dared to kill someone from the Profound Demon Sect?!

  Shock turned into extreme anger as Li Jiuye's eyes filled with bloodlust, gring at the old man ahead.

  The surrounding members of the Profound Demon Sect were also stunned by Xu Xiao's thunderous methods.

  The Fire Banner Vanguard, at the third level of the Nascent Soul Stage, equipped with several magical artifacts for protection, was so easily sin by the opponent??

  Unbelievable!

  Meanwhile, Jin Hao and Lin Dadong's group from Goldstone City were pale with fear, their expressions filled with terror!

  Elder Xu... why did he suddenly start killing people?!

  Wasn't it agreed that he would only break off the engagement?!

  Lin Dadong and his wife shielded Lin Yan'er behind them, equally shocked.

  Elder Xu, so aged and seemingly gentle, turned terrifying when encountering people from the Profound Demon Sect?!

  With this turn of events, there would be no turning back, and they would face endless retaliation from the Profound Demon Sect!

  In fact, at this moment, Lin Dadong was already considering fleeing.

  If negotiations broke down, he pnned to immediately take his wife and daughter and hide, living under assumed names!

  If the war between the Misty Sect and the Profound Demon Sect started because of Lin Yan'er, his Lin family, mere sellers of spirit tea, would surely be doomed!

  Xu Xiao leisurely withdrew his divine sword, smiling slightly at the Profound Demon Sect members who dared not move.

  "Daring to attack an Inner Sect Elder of the Misty Sect, Li Jiuye, do you realize that doing so could lead to the downfall of your Profound Demon Sect?"

  Though his voice was aged, it carried an imposing aura.

  The deep heritage of the ancient sect was fully dispyed at this moment.

  This was invincible confidence!

  "You... are you truly an Inner Sect Elder of the Misty Sect?!"

  Li Jiuye's face turned pale; at first, he didn't believe it.

  But after witnessing the divine sword wielded by this old man in the Core Formation Stage, he wavered...

  That divine sword, radiating with fire, was at least a supreme-grade sword artifact with extremely powerful attack capabilities!

  In fact, it was one of the best among supreme-grade sword artifacts!

  Otherwise, there was no reason to expin how a mere old man in the Core Formation Stage could sy the Fire Banner Vanguard!

  Suddenly, Li Jiuye thought of something, his expression changed, and he asked sharply, "Where is Elder Ying?! What did you do to him?!"

  A bad premonition surged in his heart.

  But he dared not be too presumptuous in front of Xu Xiao, after all, the Misty Sect's reputation as a righteous leader was not undeserved!

  Xu Xiao replied indifferently, "That old fellow was disrespectful to me and is already dead."

  "What?!"

  The faces of the Profound Demon Sect members changed again!

  Elder Ying and his group also perished at the hands of this old man?!

  "Outrageous! Old man! You've gone too far!!!"

  Li Jiuye's wrath fred, his face flushed with anger!

  But his remaining rationality told him not to make enemies with the Misty Sect!

  The opponent was an Inner Sect Elder of the Misty Sect; if killed, the Profound Demon Sect could not withstand the Misty Sect's wrath!

  This matter must be discussed with his father upon returning!

  Now, the thought of marrying Lin Yan'er as a concubine had long been forgotten.

  Such a trivial matter was insignificant compared to the Misty Sect!

  He couldn't comprehend why an Inner Sect Elder of the Misty Sect would come alone to rescue a mere Outer Sect disciple.

  It was incomprehensible!

  "Going too far?"

  Xu Xiao chuckled, "What if I am?"

  "What can a wet-behind-the-ears brat like you do to me? If you have the guts, make a move! See if I don't pierce you with a single sword."

  "A worthless scoundrel like you, what else can you do besides fooling around with women? You're nothing but a stinking pile of garbage."

  The taunt was full.

  Li Jiuye was utterly infuriated!

  "You... old man, how dare you!!"

  Li Jiuye was almost exploding with rage at the old man's words!

  Was this old man really here for Lin Yan'er??

  This was clearly a provocation against the Profound Demon Sect!

  "Old man! You will die for this!"

  "You've killed so many of our sect members; even if the Misty Sect comes knocking, our Profound Demon Sect is in the right!"

  Li Jiuye immediately drew a high-grade treasure sword, ready to fight Xu Xiao to the death!

  "Young Master! Stay calm!"

  The Three Yin Elders beside him stopped Li Jiuye.

  Though angry, the three elders remained rational.

  Killing this old man would mean a complete enmity with the Misty Sect.

  Even if justified, the Profound Demon Sect would be at a disadvantage.

  After all, the two sects were not on the same level!

  Xu Xiao continued to taunt, "And you three old fools, do you not see your age, yet you still indulge this brat's nonsense."

  "At your age, you might as well live like pigs and dogs."

  Boom!

  Xu Xiao's words were like thunder, exploding in everyone's hearts.

  Now, not only the Profound Demon Sect members but even the people from Goldstone City were dumbfounded, looking at Xu Xiao.

  Elder Xu... what is going on??

  Having killed so many of their members, the Profound Demon Sect has already shown great restraint!

  Now, with a little pressure using the Misty Sect's background, the engagement could be smoothly annulled.

  But the other party clearly had no intention of stopping!

  Even the Three Yin Elders were being cursed!

  Jin Hao, Lin Dadong, and the others were almost dumbfounded.

  Even Lin Yan'er at the back was a bit dazed, unable to understand Elder Xu's actions.

  "Old man! What did you say?!"

  "I see you're courting death!"

  "Oh dear! For the sake of the Misty Sect, I intended to spare your life, but today, even if the Emperor himself came, you must die!"

  The three bck-robed elders were so enraged by Xu Xiao's words that their faces twisted.

  They were the top Three Yin Elders of the Profound Demon Sect, managing the sect's internal and external affairs.

  Unexpectedly, they were insulted by an old man in the Core Formation Stage!

  No longer stopping Li Jiuye, the three elders drew their magical artifacts and said, "Young Master, let's kill this old Xu first, and discuss the rest back at the sect!"

  "Perhaps he's just a peripheral member of the Misty Sect, bluffing with borrowed authority!"

  Li Jiuye was already grinding his teeth in anger.

  Hearing the three elders' words, he drew his sword and rallied the Profound Demon Sect members.

  "Members of the Profound Demon Sect, heed my command!"

  "This old Xu Xiao has killed our members and insulted us, capture him immediately and tear him to pieces!!"

  The Profound Demon Sect members' eyes gleamed with ferocity at the order!

  Then, everyone drew their magical artifacts, surging towards Xu Xiao like a tide!

  Today, this old man was doomed!

  The people from Goldstone City were pale with fright at the sight.

  They quickly retreated to avoid the Profound Demon Sect members' assault!

  Their cultivation was too weak to dare resist alongside Elder Xu.

  Jin Hao, Lin Dadong, and the others were utterly bewildered.

  What on earth was happening?!

  Elder Xu was incredibly bold!

  Anyone unaware might think he had a deep-seated grudge against the Profound Demon Sect!

  "Old Xu, prepare to die!"

  Ahead, Li Jiuye led the charge with the Three Yin Elders, followed by a group of elite demon cultivators.

  This lineup could easily overturn a Soul Transformation cultivator if careless, let alone this old Xu!

  "Hmph, foolish."

  Xu Xiao remained unflustered, merely smiling slightly.

  He could see that among these demon cultivators, the Three Yin Elders were the strongest, each at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Stage.

  Even with his Southern Radiance Fme-Severing Sword, they posed some trouble.

  But he had a pn.

  "Ninth Level of Soul Transformation Purple Sky Thunder Talisman, it's your turn now."

  With a purple talisman in hand, Xu Xiao stood firm as a mountain, his eyes filled with anticipation.
