"You may not be able to stomach it, but since you three discovered this, you can't possibly return alive."
The Masked Man laughed inwardly, his gaze drifting over Xiao Xun'er and Bai Xiaoran, who were both veiled.
With figures like theirs, taking them back to serve him would not be bad at all. Even on his way out, such good fortune had fallen into his lap.
"You two deal with those two. I'll handle that Dou Emperor."
"Rest assured, sir."
Jia Lie Bi and Ao Ba Pa immediately surrounded Xiao Xun'er and Bai Xiaoran.
Ling Ying, meanwhile, was held back by the Masked Man.
"In such a tiny place, you have a Dou Emperor bodyguard. It seems your Miss must have quite an exceptional figure."
"You know that, yet you still dare lay your hands on her?" Ling Ying said.
The Masked Man burst into laughter. "Once I consummate things with your two young ladies, do you think they'll still kill me?"
Ling Ying said coldly, "You dare!"
The two instantly clashed.
Bai Xiaoran and Xiao Xun'er still found it somewhat difficult to face two Dou Master clan heads.
"Surrender, and you can suffer a little less. You two women haven't even entered the Dou Master realm. How could you possibly be our opponents?"
Jia Lie Bi and Ao Ba Pa launched attacks at the same time, closing in on them from both sides.
"Qi Manifestation Fist!"
"Swallow Return Strike!"
Bai Xiaoran and Xiao Xun'er likewise unleashed Dou Techniques to meet the attacks.
The four were instantly locked in an evenly matched battle, but as Jia Lie Bi and Ao Ba Pa exerted more strength, the two gradually found themselves unable to endure.
Using Subtle Shadow Steps, Bai Xiaoran grabbed Xiao Xun'er and flashed to another spot.
"Mysterious Fire Three Transformations!"
Three flames attacked from three directions, but Jia Lie Bi and Ao Ba Pa still reacted in time and dodged them.
"I'll take Ao Ba Pa. Brother Xiaoran, focus on dealing with Jia Lie Bi!"
Xiao Xun'er had not reached the Dou Master realm, but her trump card could still kill Ao Ba Pa.
Bai Xiaoran had never possessed a suitable weapon, so he could only fight Jia Lie Bi barehanded.
"Surrender is your only choice."
Bai Xiaoran said nothing. He continued to strike with all his strength, but Jia Lie Bi suddenly exploded with power and knocked him back.
At the instant he was sent flying, Ao Ba Pa suddenly threw a flying arrow at him.
"Let me see who you really are!" Jia Lie Bi threw it toward Bai Xiaoran's veil. The flying arrow knocked the veil away, revealing his face before their eyes.
"Bai Xiaoran!"
Jia Lie Bi froze. "I should have realized it was you."
The Masked Man was somewhat stunned.
"There's actually such a beautiful woman in Wutan City. It truly hides its talents well!"
"Sir, that person is a man. He just looks like a woman."
"A man?"
The Masked Man smiled. "That doesn't conflict with anything. Take him down quickly."
"Yes!"
Jia Lie Bi continued to increase the force of his attacks, while Bai Xiaoran remained on the defensive. Under the pressure of Jia Lie Bi's assault, the qi within his body began condensing from gas into liquid.
Suddenly, Bai Xiaoran's strength erupted at an astonishing speed.
Jia Lie Bi was immediately dumbfounded.
"A breakthrough in the middle of battle?"
The Masked Man said, "Truly useless. You couldn't take him down after all this time and even let him break through."
Bai Xiaoran used Qi Manifestation Fist and sent Jia Lie Bi flying with a single blow. Faced with this sudden breakthrough, Jia Lie Bi was somewhat at a loss.
"So what if you broke through? Do you really think you can win?"
"You're too confident."
"Mysterious Fire Three Transformations, Flame Boost!"
Three flames appeared in the air, constantly shifting their forms. One of them transformed into a fireball and trapped Jia Lie Bi within it.
The other two flames struck Jia Lie Bi directly.
Jia Lie Bi tried to smother the flames, but the more he tried, the fiercer they burned.
"What kind of flames are these?"
"The flames sending you to the underworld. You've killed so many people. It's time you went down and kept them company."
Jia Lie Bi's eyes turned vicious. "If your Xiao Family hadn't pressured me like this, who would have wanted to touch your Xiao Family? In the end, isn't it all your fault?"
If the Xiao Family had not pressured and suppressed him, would he have done such things?
"Have you forgotten how you used to suppress us? And now you're pretending to be some pitiful victim," Bai Xiaoran said.
He had not forgotten how the Jia Lie Family had once suppressed the Xiao Family. They had even intended to wipe out the Xiao Family in one stroke, yet now Jia Lie Bi was acting so pitiful.
"Hmph, only I can suppress you. You can never suppress me!"
Jia Lie Bi shouted, "Since you refuse to let me live well, then die completely!"
"Not good, this guy wants to self-destruct!"
Just as he was about to self-destruct, a flame transformed into a blade and pierced through Jia Lie Bi's heart.
The next moment, Jia Lie Bi's eyes widened as he fell to the ground.
"Truly useless!" The Masked Man looked at Bai Xiaoran. Though it was a pity, for now, he still needed to take these people away.
At this moment, Xiao Xun'er had already dealt with Ao Ba Pa as well.
"Are you still refusing to surrender?" Ling Ying said.
The Masked Man smiled. "Surrender? Those words don't exist in my dictionary. My task has already been completed, and those two are no longer useful. Everyone, we will meet again. And that little young master—I'll remember you."
The Masked Man threw out a cloud of smoke and vanished into the darkness.
"Uncle Ling Ying, that person's strength should be no weaker than yours, right?"
"That person is indeed stronger than I am."
Ling Ying said in puzzlement, "It seems his purpose in coming here was to increase his cultivation."
"In any case, he has already left. As for the Jia Lie Family and Ao Ba Family, they should be destroyed as well. Even if we do not destroy them, the city's residents will do it themselves."
With their clan heads gone as their support, the Jia Lie Family and Ao Ba Family naturally would not last long.
"Let's head back first!"
After returning to the Xiao Family, Bai Xiaoran began consolidating his cultivation. Having just broken through to Dou Master, his foundation was still somewhat unstable.
The next day, the crimes of the Jia Lie Family and Ao Ba Family were made public, including news of both clan heads' deaths.
For a time, everyone denounced the two families.
The campaign against them lasted several days before finally coming to an end.
"Brother Xiaoran, the Jia Lie Family and Ao Ba Family's resources have been completely stripped clean, and even their residences were burned down in one fire!"
"What about the others?"
"Jia Lie Ao couldn't bear the shock and committed suicide in his room. Any other elders who could flee had already fled long ago."
Xiao Xun'er continued, "In short, the Xiao Family now stands alone in Wutan City, and the threats have basically been eliminated."
"It's good that it's over. It's time to prepare for the upcoming Jia Nan Academy."
"Then cultivate in peace, Brother Xiaoran. Try to break through a few more times."
Xiao Xun'er left the room, though no one knew where she was going.
She had barely left when Xiao Yu entered the room.
"Little Brother Xiaoran!"
"Sister Xiao Yu, why did you barge into my room again? If you try anything this time, I'm going to fight back."
If this woman was not intimidated a little, she simply would not know how to restrain herself.
"I'm not here to try anything. I'm just here to tell you Jia Nan Academy's requirements. Since you've broken through to Dou Master, you can bypass some of the trials as an exception."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, Sister originally wanted to arrange a backdoor for you, but after thinking it over, your strength means you don't need one at all."
