Azurewood Venerable!

"A single palm strike can shatter mountains, a single thought Boiling the Sea —is this... the power of a Martial Venerable?"

In a futuristic satellite observation room, Wen Fengxiang, the leader of the Righteous Qi Sect, looked at the huge virtual light screen in front of him, his eyes shining with awe and longing!

The virtual light screen, which serves as the display for the images transmitted by the quantum satellite, shows the scene of Zhou Chen and Li Su's battle in the skies above the Qingyun Mountain and the East China Sea!

Of course, the term "great war" might not be accurate.

Because from beginning to end, the entire battle was a one-sided beating and crushing of Li Su Zhou Chen.

Li Su was completely powerless to fight back. This old beast was either hiding in a cave in the mountains or in the sea, and even the Li Family's clan's sacred artifact, the Sword of Light and Victory, had fallen into Zhou Chen's hands.

It's a pity for the plants and animals of Qingyun Mountain, as well as the fish and shrimp of the Eastern Sea. They did nothing wrong, yet they suffered a devastating disaster because of that beast, Li Su.

"Master, a thick cloud has suddenly appeared over the Eastern Sea. The cloud is accumulating a large amount of electrical charge, which has already blocked the quantum satellite's observations. It looks like a thunderstorm is coming."

Zhang Zhengdao put down the controller of the virtual light screen, turned around, and said with some surprise.

After Zhou Chen went to hunt down Li Su, Zhang Zhengdao, Shang Buyu, and other disciples of the Righteous Qi Sect bid farewell to Yun Xin Yue and returned to their sect's headquarters at Luling Mountain.

After all, once the news spread that Yun Xin Yue had received the protection of a Martial Venerable expert, no one would dare to plot against the Thunder Sword Sect. The mission of the Righteous Qi Sect disciples would then be complete.

The wrath of a Martial Venerable expert is something that probably no force in the entire Azure Xuan Province can withstand!

Upon hearing Zhang Zhengdao's words, Shang Buyu raised an eyebrow and casually explained, "That esteemed one Boiling the Sea with fire, causing a large amount of seawater to evaporate. The water vapor rises into the air, condenses upon cooling, forming clouds and then cumulonimbus clouds, which then bring rain."

"I see, Junior Sister Shang is indeed intelligent."

Zhang Zhengdao looked at Shang Buyu with a look of sudden realization, his eyes filled with admiration.

As the eldest disciple of the Righteous Qi Sect, Zhang Zhengdao had been practicing martial arts since childhood, but his education in literature was always superficial, leaving him essentially in a semi-illiterate state.

Shang Buyu rolled his eyes and pouted, "Senior brother, this is common scientific knowledge; even elementary school students understand it."

Zhang Zhengdao: "..."

Watching the two senior and junior disciples bickering, Wen Fengxiang said irritably, "Both of you behave yourselves. Zhengdao, switch the quantum satellite's observation mode to thermal imaging and see if you can detect high-energy reactions through the cumulonimbus clouds."

"Yes, Master."

Zhang Zhengdao immediately agreed and frantically pressed several buttons on the control panel, trying to change the quantum satellite's observation mode.

However, how could a semi-illiterate person operate such complex scientific instruments?

Zhang Zhengdao's efforts were of course useless; he even managed to make the virtual screen go black.

Shang Buyu couldn't stand it any longer, so he quickly went to the side of this silly senior brother and smoothly operated the system to activate the quantum satellite's thermal imaging mode and reopen the virtual light screen.

On the virtual screen, the previous mountain and sea scenes were gone; instead, there was only a thermal image showing the distribution of heat.

"Master, there is a high-energy reaction, but there is only one, it should be you."

After looking at the image, Shang Buyu turned his head and said.

Upon hearing this, Wen Fengxiang's eyes narrowed.

In theory, Li Su's heat cannot be hidden even if the seawater has been evaporated.

If Li Su hadn't died, there should have been two high-energy reactions.

Thinking of this, Wen Fengxiang murmured leisurely, "It seems that the Martial Dao Guild of Azure Xuan Province is currently vacant for a vice president!"

Before he finished speaking, Wen Fengxiang turned around and walked out of the satellite observation room.

Now that Venerable One has taken action, it's time for the Righteous Qi Sect to do the same!

For example... help the Venerable One to exterminate the wicked and evil Cangxuan Li Family.

Just do it!

Wen Fengxiang quickly gathered many elders at the Great Martial Master level and a large group of disciples, and marched in a mighty force toward the Cangxuan Li Family.

At this moment, the Li Family was in complete chaos.

As a prominent family in Azure Xuan Province, the Li Family's intelligence capabilities are also quite formidable.

Just as Li Su was being hunted down, the Li Family received accurate intelligence about what was happening on Thundercloud Mountain.

Then, all the members of the Cangxuan Li Family were immediately dumbfounded.

What's going on? Their family patriarch, Li Su, is a dignified Martial Grandmaster, one of the top experts in the entire Azure Xuan Province.

How could such a strong person show weakness in front of a young boy and then flee in defeat?

However, after a moment of confusion, the Li Family immediately realized that the disaster of extermination was about to befall them!

Then, the Li Family quickly convened a meeting of the family elders and prepared to immediately evacuate the family members, especially to quietly send some talented and promising young men and women out of Cangxuan Prefecture City.

In this way, even if the Li Family is wiped out, those talented children can survive and restore the family's glory in the future!

However, before the Li Family could prepare, the disciples of the Righteous Qi Sect surrounded the entire Li clan territory!

The outer disciples of the Righteous Qi Sect were all dressed in simple white robes, while the inner disciples wore long robes with flowing cloud and silver patterns. As for the elders at the Great Martial Master level, they were all dressed in golden robes!

Moreover, in order to wipe out the Li Family with absolute power, the Righteous Qi Sect has also prepared a number of advanced technological weapons!

Electromagnetic rifles were in high demand, as were high-explosive grenades, anti-tank sniper rifles, mortars, and even individual rocket launchers. The Righteous Qi Sect had prepared plenty of these as well.

Moreover, to be on the safe side, Wen Fengxiang even transferred an armed helicopter squadron and a fighter jet detachment for atmospheric combat from the city's defense forces in Cangxuan Prefecture City!

Shang Buyu was even more ruthless. Relying on the influence of the Shang Family, she directly transferred an anti-aircraft missile battalion, an EMP electromagnetic pulse defense squad, and a biological and chemical weapons defense squad from the local garrison of the Great Xuan Kingdom stationed outside the city.

This was to prevent a counterattack by the Li Family's armed forces.

After all, as a powerful and influential family, even if they can't acquire weapons of mass destruction like anti-matter cruise missiles, it's quite normal for them to stockpile EMP electromagnetic pulse weapons that can destroy electronic equipment, or some inhumane biological and chemical weapons!

As for why the Righteous Qi Sect and the Shang Family were able to mobilize some troops from the city's defense forces and local garrisons, that's a matter of opinion.

By setting up such a display, their intention was clearly to completely annihilate the Cangxuan Li Family!

"Attack!"

At the command of Wen Fengxiang, the leader of the Righteous Qi Sect, all kinds of Yuan Qi cannons, mortars, and even rocket cannons began to fire in volleys.

In an instant, the entire ancestral land of the Li family was turned into a sea of fire, and countless members of the Li Family were covered by the cannon fire, leaving no trace of their bodies!

Of course, most of those who died were guards and servants kept by the Li Family, as well as a small number of collateral relatives. The real direct descendants of the Li family had already entered the secret passage dug by the family and were leaving at high speed.

"Trying to run away?"

Outside the Li clan's territory, inside the temporary command center of the Righteous Qi Sect, Shang Buyu looked at the images on the virtual screen and said coldly.

The virtual screen displayed dots of light, which were moving along secret passages from underground out of the city.

Clearly, these points of light belong to the direct descendants of the Li Family who had withdrawn beforehand.

This is also because Shang Buyu had prepared detection equipment using ultrasound and quantum pulses long ago; otherwise, it would have been impossible to find the underground passage of the Li clan's territory so easily.

The reason why Shang Buyu was able to arrange everything in advance was naturally because of her divination skills.

"Sister Shang, do we really have to go this far and wipe them out?"

Yun Xin Yue, standing to the side, said with some reluctance.

Yun Xin Yue wasn't just putting on an act; she genuinely couldn't bear to kill all the members of the Li Family.

She did hate the Li Family, but her hatred was mainly directed at Li Su and some of the Li clan members who acted as accomplices. She didn't want to exterminate the entire Cangxuan Li clan.

In her opinion, this was a bit too ruthless.

Hearing Yun Xin Yue's words, Shang Buyu glanced at her, then sighed and said, "Sister Yun, you are still too young and inexperienced. Our Righteous Qi Sect destroyed the Cangxuan Li Family and slaughtered the elders of these direct descendants of the Li Family who were evacuating through the secret passage. Do you think they won't hold a grudge?"

"They will hold a grudge, and it will be a deep-seated hatred! If they ever have a chance to rise again, they will definitely seek revenge! In that case, the Righteous Qi Sect, the Shang Family, and the Thunder Sword Sect might be the ones to suffer!"

After a pause, Shang Buyu said in a deep voice, "Sister Xinyue, if you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze. As a scion of a noble family, you should understand this principle!"

Shang Buyu's words made Yun Xin Yue feel somewhat ashamed.

She felt ashamed because she only considered the life and death of the Li Family members, but did not consider the future survival of the Righteous Qi Sect and the Shang Family.

After all, the initial reason why the Righteous Qi Sect and the Shang Family attacked the Cangxuan Li Family was to help their Thunder Sword Sect!

If we let these Li Family go today, and they return to seek revenge on the Righteous Qi Sect and the Shang Family after they have achieved success in their cultivation, wouldn't that be causing trouble for our allies because of her kindness?

Thinking of this, a ruthless glint flashed in Yun Xin Yue's eyes. She walked directly to the electronic multi-functional command console and pressed a button!

That button is used to activate the electronically controlled remote-controlled patrol robot.

These electronic robots are small in size and weight, yet they are equipped with a variety of electromagnetic weapons and laser cannons, capable of defeating even powerful Great Martial Master. Moreover, they do not require human piloting; they are controlled by electronic programs.

Shang Buyu intended to use these electronic robots to hunt down the direct descendants of the Li family who were evacuating through the secret passage.

"Buzzing..."

As soon as Yun Xin Yue pressed the button, a large wave of electronic robots started up and quickly flew into the Li clan's territory. They used electromagnetic cannons to blast open the secret passage and then rushed in!

Those Li family experts who remained within the Li clan's territory, hoping to delay the Li Family, originally intended to stop them. However, the elders of the Righteous Qi Sect surrounded these Li family experts, whose strongest were only at the Great Martial Master level, and began a merciless extermination!

Meanwhile, Wen Fengxiang, the leader of the Righteous Qi Sect, strolled leisurely across the Li clan's territory, killing a group of the Li Family guards with a single casual strike.

When Wen Fengxiang gets serious occasionally, he uses the Martial Dao Technique passed down from the Righteous Qi Sect, and even the elders of the Li Family who are at the level of Great Martial Master find it difficult to withstand a single move!

Even if a desperate elder of the Li Family were to self-destruct in front of Wen Fengxiang, it would be difficult to soil the clothes of this Righteous Qi Sect Master.

This is the overwhelming power of Martial Grandmaster when facing Great Martial Master!

Soon, almost all of the Li Family's Great Martial Master level elders were killed, and the guards, servants, and collateral disciples were wiped out by the Righteous Qi Sect!

As for the direct descendants of the Li Family who evacuated through the secret passage, they were also caught up by the electronic robots and almost all of them died tragically underground.

Some of the most powerful direct descendants of the Li Family escaped the pursuit of the electronic robots, but when they left Cangxuan Prefecture City, they coincidentally ran into the inner disciples of the Righteous Qi Sect led by Zhang Zhengdao.

The reason Zhang Zhengdao and the others were here was not by chance, but because Shang Buyu had used divination to calculate the direction in which these direct descendants of the Li Family were leaving, and then arranged the location for the ambush!

In a short period of time, the entire Cangxuan Li Family, except for a few remaining members who were outside, was almost completely wiped out!

This quickly caused a stir throughout the entire Cangxuan Prefecture City!

Countless powerful families felt apprehensive and uneasy. Some families with interests or kinship ties to the Li Family showed strong hostility towards the Righteous Qi Sect and the Shang Family!

These families quickly formed an alliance through quantum telephony, with Martial Grandmaster among them and a vast number of Great Martial Master under their command!

In an instant, the momentum of the Righteous Qi Sect was suppressed.

All of this happened within a single hour!

Meanwhile, over the Eastern Sea.

Zhou Chen severed Li Su's head with a single sword strike, ending the life of the vice president of the Martial Dao Guild.

Then, to prevent Li Su's soul from escaping and reincarnating or possessing another body, Zhou Chen used Samadhi True Fire to burn the Li family patriarch to ashes!

After eliminating Li Su, Zhou Chen immediately rode on Five-Colored Auspicious Cloud to leave.

However, at that moment, an old man dressed in a blue robe with white hair and beard suddenly appeared on the sea.

The old man was tall and slender, with white hair and a youthful face, and a ruddy complexion. He held a blue wooden cane in his hand.

The most peculiar thing is that the old man's eyes are different colors; one eye is blue and the other is green, which looks quite eerie.

"Martial Lord?"

Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes, looked at the old man in front of him, and tentatively asked.

"I am Mu Qinghuan, and I am only given the title of Azurewood Venerable by the world out of respect."
