Can't you call it murder without raising dust?

Fate is sometimes very mysterious.

If he had a choice, Xiao Ran would rather not go to the entrapment operation to get free medicinal herbs, not buy Sakura Grass, than run into that idiot Nanmen Yijian and be used by the Dao Alliance.

But then he thought that Nanmen Yijian would eventually be manipulated by the hand of fate to cause trouble for his Master, so it would be better for him to help his Master withstand this calamity and personally ignite the fuse for a series of plans by the Dao Alliance Headquarters.

Xiao Ran roughly guessed what the Dao Alliance would do next.

To quell external threats, we must first secure internal stability. We must start by targeting the four deeply entrenched Four Great Families, purging the corrupt elements within the Dao Alliance, thereby reversing public opinion and seizing the moral high ground. Then, we can forcefully push forward the plan to merge the Five Great Powers into the Dao Alliance.

After the appearance of the Demonic Dragon, the merger plan for Flamefree City was inevitable and had already been put on the agenda.

No one expected that the Dao Alliance would first plan to take action against the Four Great Families.

This demonstrates the Dao Alliance's determination!

Xiao Ran thought the plan was pretty good.

He didn't care whether Zongzhi Mountain would exist in the future.

He is loyal only to the world and his Master.

The world allowed him to live.

Master, make him stronger.

Without his Master, no one would have allowed him to enter Zongzhi Mountain.

All the resources he gained afterward, and the respect he earned from countless powerful figures, came from his Master.

Otherwise, all these people would be high and mighty strangers, immortals who wouldn't even glance at you.

According to Xiao Ran's previous life, these people were all capitalists living in upscale Villa District. They seemed to live in the same world as you, but in reality, they did not.

The Dao Alliance, on the contrary, has always been protecting civilians.

A gentleman judges by actions, not intentions. Regardless of the purpose, the Dao Alliance has always protected civilians and tried to maintain or even expand the total population of the Cultivation World.

This is a fact that Xiao Ran could see with his own eyes after living in the Mortal Realm for three years.

Now, the Dao Alliance wants to eliminate internal corruption, and the Dao Alliance also wants to use Master...

Then let him be the villain! The Black-Robed Attendant, Spirit Severing Realm cultivator, happened to be on an aerial Immortal Boat several hundred feet away.

Xiao Ran did not hesitate for a moment.

With a flick of his wrist, he created ripples that spread through the air.

The ripples spread rapidly, seemingly harmless, but they accelerated step by step, emitting a piercing airburst sound.

"Is this all the genius is capable of?"

Nanmen Yijian was too lazy to even move.

This power couldn't break through the carriage's defenses! However, the ripples reached the carriage and caused a strange vibration, shattering the carriage's Defensive Spirit Pattern.

At the same time--

A ripple behind suddenly burst forth with a power a thousand times greater, striking the carriage with a deafening roar as the Defensive Spirit Pattern were shattered.

It also pierced through Nanmen Yijian, who was sitting in the carriage.

The entire room fell silent.

The onlookers on the street, Cai Nizi, the Black-Robed Attendant, and even Nanmen Yijian himself.

No one expected that Xiao Ran would dare to attack a direct descendant of Four Great Families! The events unfolded so suddenly that Nanmen Yijian, looking down at his missing internal organs and half-shattered Dantian, felt as if he were in a dream...

Putting aside the bizarre nature of this power, even the Nine Radiances dare not attack the Four Great Families. How dare you?

The golden ring on his hand glowed faintly, from which pills flew one after another, heading towards his slightly open mouth and the gaping hole in his Dantian.

The fully automatic life-saving ring activates! Meanwhile—

A black sword shadow, surging like a raging flame and carrying immense Spiritual Pressure, fell from the sky.

It struck instantly, landing squarely on Xiao Ran's head! At that speed, Xiao Ran couldn't dodge it.

Even if you anticipate it in advance, it still takes some time to activate the continuous shockwave and flashbang, and you might get slashed in the shoulder or legs.

Thus, Xiao Ran took the full force of the sword strike and disappeared into the crack in the street that had been cleaved open by the sword.

In an instant, a deep chasm, three miles long and three feet wide, split open in the wide street.

Fortunately, the crowd had already dispersed to the side of the street, and no one was injured.

Sword Shadow also avoided the carriage.

Only Xiao Ran disappeared into the crack in the ground.

It must have been reduced to ashes by the raging sword shadows Spiritual Pressure.

The spectators on the street scattered and retreated to the next block.

The Dao Alliance prodigy pierced the body of the aristocratic disciple with a single strike, while the guard, Spirit Severing, slew the Dao Alliance prodigy with another sword...

Chaos City hasn't seen such a brutal battle scene in a long time.

Black-Robed Attendant at the bow of the ship.

He felt something was strange. He couldn't detect any trace of Xiao Ran's destruction, nor could he find any sign of Xiao Ran's life. It was as if Xiao Ran had vanished into thin air.

Inside the golden carriage.

After swallowing hundreds of golden pills, Nanmen Yijian quickly restored his Qi Sea, Pill Wall, and physical body.

Ancient elixirs were that potent!

Xiao Ran, who dared to attack him, had already been reduced to ashes before his eyes.

"You didn't expect that, did you? Even if half of your Dantian Qi Sea are destroyed, a scion of a noble family won't die."

This is the power of aristocratic families! It'll also show the rioters of Chaos City the consequences of disrespecting aristocratic family disciples!

Upon hearing the noise, the two Golden Core guards rushed back. Seeing that their young master was unharmed, they breathed a sigh of relief and reported to him from outside the curtains.

"Young Master, your subordinate has found out that the one causing trouble at Famous Grass Collection is none other than Xiao Ran, the current champion."

Nanmen Yijian waved his hand arrogantly.

"It doesn't matter, he's already dead."

The black-robed guard remained cautious, his immense Spiritual Pressure enveloping the entire block.

He flew down on the Immortal Boat and slowly landed in front of the open carriage, remaining vigilant about his surroundings.

I just asked casually:

"Is the young master alright?"

Although he was unharmed, this was the most dangerous situation Nanmen Yijian had ever encountered in his life, and he was very dissatisfied with the black-robed guard's negligence.

"Next time, prioritize my safety."

"Yes."

"Take all three women away!"

"Yes."

Cai Nizi, pale-faced, tightly protected the woman and the unconscious girl.

She still can't believe that Young Master Nanmen is still alive, while Xiao Ran is dead.

"You killed the Dao Alliance's prodigy. Even if the Dao Alliance Headquarters doesn't pursue the matter, Lingzhou Yue will personally come to your door and wipe out the entire Nanmen Family."

Her tone was extremely calm, so calm that she couldn't believe she was saying it herself.

Nanmen Yijian's physical body had recovered, but his clothes hadn't, revealing a large belly. He simply sat in the carriage and pulled a curtain to cover it up.

"The Dao Alliance Headquarters has four Nine Radiances; even if a god came, he couldn't kill me."

He said with a cold laugh.

Cai Nizi, however, expressed some doubt:

"The question is, can you even return to the Dao Alliance?"

Nanmen Yijian became an instant sensation.

"Aren't you a member of the Dao Alliance? How did you become a lackey of Tianjiao? Take you with you! Tonight I'm going to teach you a lesson for being a traitor."

Cai Nizi knew she was powerless to stop anyone and only wanted to stall for time until Hua Lian arrived.

"I don't care about your grudges. As Dao Alliance Deacon, unless you kill me, no one can take any civilians away from me."

Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill a mere butler?

Nanmen Yijian looked down at him with disdain.

"Then kill them—"

Before he could finish speaking, a deafening boom resounded! A burst of palm force exploded from the crack in the ground, Resonance instantly with the air, the carriage, and even Nanmen Yijian's physical body! It was the same Resonance palm force, but this time, the distance was closer and the aim was more precise.

The black-robed guard was suddenly startled and instantly reached out to grab the young master.

However, Nanmen Yijian and the carriage were instantly blasted into dust.

The Qi Sea of the Golden Core Realm cultivator suddenly dispersed, creating a vortex of Spiritual Energy that roared across the empty street.

The carriage was shattered into pieces by the force of the palm strike, covered in sticky blood and flesh, falling like red rain.

Only the golden Space Ring remained intact, jingling as it fell to the ground and rolled into a crack in the earth...

Xiao Ran picked it up casually! Xiao Ran didn't expect that by enduring the Spirit Severing sword strike, he only managed to create a surging sword vortex in his Qi Sea, without even needing to use the resurrection blood pack he had prepared.

Even more unexpectedly, Nanmen Yijian was even tougher than him, surviving even with half of his Dantian blasted away.

I Formless Stealth in the crack in the ground to scatter dust over him.

Even without scattering ashes, can it still be called murder? The black-robed guard's right hand formed a claw.

The black hand, moving with lightning speed, couldn't stop the explosion or grab Nanmen Yijian's intact body. It could only reach into the crevice and grab Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran could have avoided it, but because he was going to pick up the golden ring, he was caught by the dark shadow that had reached into the crack in the ground.

The black-robed guard grabbed Xiao Ran's body with his giant, shadowy hand and dragged him out of the crack in the ground.

Upon closer inspection, there wasn't a single mark of injury on his entire body.

You must know, that sword strike was enough to severely injure Spirit Severing cultivator! "You're still alive!"

Xiao Ran was suspended in mid-air and bound inside the giant black hand, but he didn't care at all and quietly lowered the golden ring to his waist.

"Respect for the dead is paramount. Don't you care at all about Young Master Nanmen?"

The black-robed guard sensed something was amiss, as if he were walking into a pre-set trap.

"It seems you premeditatedly intended to kill him!"

Xiao Ran was too lazy to explain and casually advised:

"Since the Dharma Ending Era, the Four Great Families have run out of options. There's no need to waste your strength here."

The black-robed guard looked at the young master's ashes, realizing there was no hope of recovery, and felt a deep sorrow in his heart.

"My young master was killed right in front of me. If I don't kill or catch the murderer, how can I possibly survive?"

Xiao Ran, however, did not care at all. He was in his element under the oppressive shadow, just like a fish in water, as if he were at home.

"It's a pity you can neither kill me nor capture me... If I called my Master, she could arrive in a hundred breaths and kill you in an instant, but I didn't do that. I simply wanted to do it myself."

"You're quite capable, but unfortunately too arrogant. I could easily kill you."

The black-robed guard clenched his right fist and suddenly increased the force.

Before I knew it, a light rain began to fall.

At first, it was a light drizzle, but gradually it wove together into a curtain.

Then it poured down, like the Milky Way hanging upside down, turning into a surging torrent in the blink of an eye.

The raindrops turned into a rain of swords.
