Sacred Dark Family

Li Shentong, "A person with guts will fight even if they are no match for the enemy, just like the Jiu Li Tribe in the Battle of Mang Mountain. Although those tribal chiefs were defeated, at least they had backbone, unlike those Jiu Li Hidden Person didn't even have the courage to make a move."

The young city lord of Licheng opened one of the boxes, inside which lay the corpse of a young man. "This is a hidden member of the Jiu Li Hidden Gate, lurking within the Li Tribe. He was incredibly well hidden. If it weren't for the Old Ancestor noticing something amiss, we would still be completely unaware. Miss Qingli, please hand him over to Li Weiyi and tell him that this hidden member was very tough and didn't reveal the secrets of the Jiu Li Hidden Gate. But even the toughest will eventually be crushed!"

Upstairs were several recluses from the Jiu Li Hidden Gate, such as Xing Yenu, Hidden Eleven, and Hidden Nine, who all walked to the railing.

From the third floor on the right, Shi Liuyu's laughter rang out. "You guys are really arrogant! Zhizhou is right next to Lizhou, be careful of retaliation. Is the Li Tribe planning to move the entire clan to the Demon Kingdom?"

"How could the entire clan possibly relocate? Ninety-nine percent of the clan members would die on the way through the Netherworld of the Departed," Shi Jiuzhai said in a deep voice.

The two of them came here to freeload.

Li Shentong, "The two Dharma Kings seem to be Li Weiyi's henchmen. Why don't you two pass on a message to him?"

Their intention was to force Li Weiyi to show herself, so their words were naturally extremely unrestrained.

"What's the point of delivering a message? I'll weigh you guys up first."

Shi Jiuzhai burst out of the railing, exhaling a breath of gray magical energy. Instantly, the magical energy spread throughout the entire Heavenly Pavilion, blotting out the sky and earth, causing countless array Light Veil to illuminate.

With his hands clasped together, they transformed into two dazzling fiery clouds, enveloping Xie Chucai, Li Shentong, and the young city lord of Licheng.

Xie Chucai sat there calmly, exhaling a breath of magical energy that condensed into dozens of flying blades of magical energy, shattering Shi Jiuzhai's supernatural powers and defenses.

Shi Jiuzhai's expression changed drastically as he realized he was in grave danger.

Even at the same cultivation level, I can't withstand a single breath from the opponent?

"Whoosh!"

He produced a translucent bead.

Numerous scriptures flew out from the bead, deflecting the incoming magical energy blades, causing them to retreat continuously.

The defenses were about to be breached...

"Ninth Brother, you're no good! Xie Lincai may have a big mouth, but you can't embarrass the Earth Wolf King Army like this."

Green flames erupted from Shi Liuyu's body, crushing the flying blades of magical energy.

The withered body flew through the air, clenched its fist and punched out, causing the air to explode and creating a huge green flame shockwave.

He wanted to help Li Weiyi find out Xie Chucai's true abilities, to see how capable this prodigy of the Du'e Temple really was, and whether there was any possibility of a fight between them.

This is the commander of the Earth Wolf King Army, a powerful expert at the Eighth Heaven of Dao Seed Realm.

Li Shentong and the young city lord of Licheng immediately retreated.

Xie Chucai had already stood up, as if facing a formidable enemy, and the Profound Ice Force beneath his feet spread out wildly. In an instant, dozens of pavilions Heavenly Pavilion were frozen solid.

"Sizzle!"

Dark energy emanated from his ancestral field, spreading out in wisps and forming an area of absolute darkness several meters in size.

The area is like a vacuum, swallowing up all external forces.

Shi Liuyu's fist force was undeniably domineering. Although his body was weak, his cultivation at the Eighth Heaven of Dao Seed Realm was by no means weak. However, the force of his fist strikes gave the feeling of having no leverage.

"Boom!"

Within the absolute darkness, a crack appeared in space, and a withered hand flew out along with countless scriptures.

That withered hand gave off an ancient and mysterious feeling, as if it had transcended endless years and come from an incredibly distant era. The moment it reached out, the souls of everyone in the Heavenly Pavilion trembled.

A single strike collides with the opponent's.

Shi Liuyu to retreat but landed next to Shi Jiuzhai and quickly regained his footing.

The absolute darkness that Xie Chucai had conjured shattered, and he was forced to retreat more than ten steps until he reached the gate of the Heavenly Pavilion. He exclaimed, "Thank you for the guidance, expert at the Eighth Heaven of Dao Seed Realm!"

Shi Liuyu and Shi Jiuzhai looked at each other in disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost.

They were well aware of the immense power of the Du'e Temple, but for someone to defy the Seventh Heaven from the Sixth Heaven was already an extreme act of defying the heavens.

It's completely incomprehensible that someone at the Sixth Heaven could take a punch from an eighth-level martial artist and emerge unscathed!

Not only the two of them, but all the martial artists in the Heavenly Pavilion were shocked.

Before this, what they had heard most was that Xie Chucai severely injured a martial artist at the Seventh Heaven Dao Seed Realm in three moves. But clearly, that was not Xie Chucai's full strength.

"If Xie Chucai were to put in just a little more effort, Li Weiyi would have an impossible time, let alone getting the talisman on him, let alone even touching the hem of his clothes."

"No wonder Xie Chucai was so resentful after the defeat of the West Sea Royal Mansion. If I had been careless and fallen into the hands of a petty scoundrel who could be crushed with a single finger, I would have been in agony too."

An Old Man who had traveled abroad looked on with horror. "That dark power is extraordinary. Could he... could he be a direct descendant of the Sacred Dark Family?"

Nearby, a young martial arts practitioner looked puzzled and asked what the Sacred Dark Family meant, as he had never heard of it.

The Old Man said, "The Sacred Dark Family comes from a habitat called Cangtu. They are the rulers of Cangtu and are known as the Mega-clan.' Members of this Lineage have extremely noble bloodlines and their lifespan is twice that of normal humans. Even if they don't reach the Longevity Realm, they can easily live to be two hundred years old."

"His surname shouldn't be Xie, it should be Xue."

"The Blood Surname' is an extremely prestigious surname in Southern Yingzhou, exclusive to the Sacred Dark Family."

Li Shentong, "Brother Xie is truly a peerless genius of the Sacred Dark Family! To be valued by him and regarded as an opponent is indeed an honor."

Xie Chucai's status was too noble. Although he was only at the Sixth Realm, he already had the combat power to withstand a punch from an eighth-realm expert without getting injured. Even the Song Siblings were shocked.

The remaining reclusive individuals, naturally, dared not show themselves.

"Fairy Yu has arrived!"

Someone shouted this, breaking the deathly silence in the Heavenly Pavilion.

Many martial artists in Lingxiao City breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how powerful Xie Chucai was, he had Fairy Yu to deal with him, so he wouldn't be an enemy of Lingxiao City.

Jiang Ning and Ge Xiantong arrived together and appeared before the people of the Heavenly Pavilion.

Imperial Court expert stepped forward to flatter and report the good news, "Lord Jiang has kept this a secret for a long time. Young Master Xie is actually the chosen one of the Sacred Dark Family. With him protecting us, what is there to worry about in the world being in turmoil? We will always have a way out in the future."

Jiang Ning had just returned from the Du'e Temple, so how could she not know Xie Chucai's background?

Xie Chucai immediately stepped forward and said with a gentle smile, "Ningning, I didn't intentionally reveal my identity. I'm not that high-profile. It's all for self-protection. It's been almost a month since we last met..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Ning took out the challenge letter. "Senior Brother Xie, I've come to deliver this challenge letter to you."

Heavenly Pavilion, an uproar immediately broke out.

Everyone was speculating about who in the Imperial Court was challenging Xie Chucai.

"On New Year's Eve, at the peak of Six Thoughts. Cold stars reflect the snow, life and death are in the hands of fate." Jiang Ning flicked his finger lightly, throwing the challenge letter out.

Ge Xiantong said, "Li Weiyi said, if you have the guts, then accept the challenge; if you don't, get out of Lingxiao Shengjing immediately and stop bothering Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning is his woman."

"Boom!"

This caused an uproar throughout the entire Heavenly Pavilion.

Xing Yenu, Hidden Nine, and Hidden Eleven felt both excited and deeply worried.

Xie Chucai was no ordinary man.

Shi Jiuzhai was somewhat incredulous, unable to believe that Li Weiyi would do something so rash. "Could this so-called challenge be a way for the two of them to force Li Weiyi to show herself?"

Ge Xiantong looked over and said, "Fairy Yu has personally come to deliver the challenge on his behalf! Does Dharma King Jiuzhai think that the fairy would joke about her own reputation?"

Shi Liuyu laughed loudly, "You've got guts! I'm truly impressed this time. Compared to him, I'm just a greenhorn. No wonder he keeps changing women. Haha! Xie Lincai, you've already lost before the battle even started. You've completely disgraced yourself!"

Xie Chucai's face was extremely grim. When he saw that Li Weiyi had chosen the Six Thoughts Zen Temple as the location for the final battle, he instantly understood many things and realized that there was a deeper meaning behind this battle.

If anyone else had challenged him to a duel at Six Thoughts Zen Temple, he would have found a way to refuse or ignore it.

But this person happens to be Li Weiyi!

Unfortunately, the person who delivered the challenge was Jiang Ning.

How did he avoid war?

Xie Chucai gripped the challenge letter tightly, his eyes turning icy as he looked at Jiang Ning: "I want to know, what is Junior Sister Jiang's attitude? Does he hold any weight in your heart?"

"My one and only soulmate in this mortal world," Jiang Ning said.

"What a kindred spirit in this mortal world!"

Xie Chucai strode away, his red robes as red as blood, his voice echoing through the night. "I killed my confidant in the mortal world! On New Year's Eve, remember to order him a fine coffin."

Inside the Heavenly Pavilion, countless people were puzzled.

It's puzzling why Jiang Ning chose someone whose ancestral field was ruined instead of a peerless genius from the Sacred Dark Family.

Those who know Li Weiyi are baffled as to why he would act so rashly and do something so unwise. Would he risk his life for a woman, for a mere squabble?

Seeing that many people were worried, Ge Xiantong said loudly, "Is the Sacred Dark Family so great? They still have to do things according to Carefree Capital's wishes! Sometimes, whether you stick your neck out or not, you'll die. Why can't you be a little tougher?"

Dressed in men's clothing, Yao Qingxuan stood by the window of one of the pavilions, looking at the corpse hidden in the box and the retreating Li Tribe martial arts practitioners. He could imagine Li Weiyi's heroic figure as he wrote the challenge.

That kid...

He's becoming more and more manly.

An Xianjing said, "We can't wait any longer. We have to stop him. I don't know what he's trying to do, but he's clearly heading down a path to his death. A woman has driven him to such madness. Can you find him?"

"The Death Spirit Fire I planted in his body can sense his location. But there are many places in Lingxiao City that isolate our senses," Yao Qingxuan said.

Li Weiyi retreated to the extraordinary mansion of the Jiu Li Hidden Gate for secluded cultivation.

Upon entering the Blood Mud Space, Tang Wanzhou exclaimed, "You've got a Heroic Spirit! What do you say, should I also issue a challenge to Demon Child? If we're going to cause trouble, let's make it big, and let those cowardly officials in the Imperial Court see the boldness of the two of us. Others have already made it clear that they want to seize Lingxiao Shengjing, yet they still harbor illusions, pretending to be deaf and dumb, thinking that the other side is just here for a visit."
