Sudden Pot

The Gao Family Ancestor on the opposite side was, after all, a master of the Soul Realm. Even as just a spiritual body, his strength had already reached around the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Zhang You's moves were still not quite enough!

As the Thunderclap Shield came into contact with the opponent's killing blow, cracks had already begun to appear. It was on the verge of being shattered, giving him no chance to use Stars Shift!

Ignoring his internal injuries, Zhang You's qi erupted within him, and the intensity of his moves instantly increased by several levels.

The momentum of the Thunderclap Shield shattering slowed down considerably!

Stars Shift was activated directly!

A series of spiral ripples appeared in his palm, clinging to the back of the Thunderclap Shield, directly beginning to transform the Gao Family Ancestor's killing blow!

"Hold on!"

Not long after, Zhang You's entire body began to turn red, his aura becoming unstable. He even spat out several mouthfuls of blood!

The opponent's killing blow was too strong!

"Absorb it for me!"

Several more gashes appeared on his physical body, but he finally managed to complete the conversion!

"Pah! Eat your own move!"

Zhang You directly sent out the energy ball in his hand!

"Interesting!"

The Gao Family Ancestor's spiritual body was surprised for a moment, and then its momentum exploded again. With just a flick of a finger, it dissolved the energy ball without even a ripple!

"Holy crap!"

Zhang You hadn't expected the opponent to be so powerful!

At this moment, the Gao Family Ancestor's spiritual body began to gradually fade!

It seemed that due to overexertion, it was about to disappear.

"If you let him go, that would be good! My Gao family guarantees to let bygones be bygones!"

The Gao Family Ancestor's spiritual body spoke again.

"I'm not doing charity work!"

Zhang You took the opportunity to recover from his injuries.

"This is your choice? Fine! Very good! Excellent!"

Although the Gao Family Ancestor's spiritual body did not show any outward anger, the killing intent in its eyes was almost solidified!

"Ancestor, save me! Save me..."

Gao Xuhai knelt before the Gao Family Ancestor, crying out incoherently, snot and tears streaming down his face in a rather comical fashion!

"My dear Hai'er! Rest assured and depart. Your ancestor will definitely avenge you!"

The Gao Family Ancestor's spiritual body flicked its finger towards Gao Xuhai, sending a stream of spiritual power into him.

"Anc... cestor..."

Gao Xuhai's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. He instantly turned to ash, dying with his eyes open!

He could never have imagined that the ancestor who had always doted on him would personally kill him!

Zhang You received a wisp of blue-white energy, but he wasn't particularly happy!

To be honest, Zhang You was also stunned for a moment!

What kind of melodramatic plot was this?

"You little bastard, I remember you. My Gao family remembers the enmity for killing my Hai'er. I hope you can run fast! Otherwise, once you're caught by my Gao family, I'll flay your skin and pluck your bones, making you wish you were never born! I will suppress your soul for ten thousand years!"

The Gao Family Ancestor's spiritual body faded a bit more!

"My goodness?"

This old man is truly wicked!

"Get lost, you scrawny bird! How shameless! You son of a bitch, your idiotic descendant was killed by you yourself, what does that have to do with me!"

Zhang You couldn't help but curse loudly!

This massive blame came out of nowhere!

While he considered himself to be accountable, it didn't mean others could fabricate things out of thin air!

"Hmph! How can my Gao family's people die at the hands of scum like you? Since he was bound to die, I might as well send him on his way myself! It's better than him falling into your hands and suffering!"

The Gao Family Ancestor's spiritual body faded a bit more, likely to dissipate soon.

Gao Xuhai was a direct descendant of their Gao family, a core member who held certain secrets. Although he had already made arrangements, there was no guarantee against unforeseen circumstances, so it was better for him to act righteously and eliminate his own kin!

"Little brat, do you dare to tell this old man your name!"

The Gao Family Ancestor stared directly at Zhang You, his eyes filled with killing intent!

"Heh! Since you asked, I don't mind telling you! Listen clearly, I go by no other name and have no other surname. I am Tang Julou! Remember this well, the one who will destroy your Gao family in the future is me!"

You can try searching for the author's name if you can't find the book by title; perhaps they changed it!

Zhang You was earnestly spouting nonsense.

He also released a wisp of aura he had captured from Tang Julou earlier!

He knew that there were curse-like spells in this world that could kill people from thousands of miles away just by knowing their name – impossible to guard against!

He wasn't stupid, so why would he reveal his own name?

If the opponent actually believed him, he might even be able to use this opportunity to trick that hypocrite, Tang Julou.

This deal was a sure win-win!

"Good, good, good! Tang Julou! Anyone with the surname Tang, my Gao family remembers you!"

At this moment, the Gao Family Ancestor's spirit body was about to disappear!

"You damn bird! I've wanted to get rid of you for a long time!"

Zhang You summoned the Broken Sword directly from his Dantian and vanished from his original spot!

"Insignificant ant, seeking death!"

Zhang You unleashed over a dozen sword strikes in an instant, shredding the opponent's spirit body!

The Gao Family Ancestor's spirit body roared once more before dissipating on the spot.

Meanwhile, at the Gao family residence in Liaoxiang City, thousands of miles away, a commotion arose after Gao Xuhai's soul lamp extinguished.

Then, a furious roar suddenly erupted from deep within the manor.

Soon, all the core members were summoned.

The name "Tang Julou" and his portrait quickly spread throughout the entire Gao family!

Before long, a small team of five departed the Gao family by carriage, speeding towards Xiaolin City!

Xiaolin City, in an alley!

A wisp of dense blue-white energy was absorbed by Zhang You!

"Gao family! Hmph!"

Zhang You retracted his Qi Armor and disappeared from the spot.

His final move with the Broken Sword was partly out of annoyance with the old man, and partly to mess with them!

He hadn't expected to gain any blue-white energy!

It was an unexpected surprise, a massive profit!

Shortly after he left, a group of cultivators gathered nearby!

They had all sensed the residual energy from the battle after Zhang You had withdrawn his Qi Armor and had rushed over.

Finding nothing but a mess on the ground, they left.

After returning to his residence, Zhang You noticed Shopkeeper Li's absence, assuming he had gone to prepare something.

After all, the night was dark and windy, and it was raining – a killing aura had been spreading through the city since early on!

Only a very small number of people seemed to have received some sort of warning and left early.

However, the majority of people remained in the city!

Zhang You sat cross-legged on the bed, beginning to stabilize and recover from his previous expenditures and injuries!

He took out the last black stone he had obtained in the Ghost Domain.

He refined it using the Extreme Path Soul Refining technique!

Just as he had guessed, his soul had grown slightly stronger!

The stone was a crystallization similar to a soul!

At the same time, within the Tang Family Grand Estate.

Shopkeeper Li's team of five was plotting!

"That old Daoist Qingyuan hasn't shown up since he disappeared; perhaps something really happened to him!"

Tang Julou sighed!

"Although Old Daoist Qingyuan wasn't particularly strong, he had many trump cards and had even killed a cultivator at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment Realm before. Whoever managed to kill him must be extraordinary!" Qin Fengtian shook his head.

"Alright, forget about him! Since he's not coming, it just means one less person to share the spoils!"

The others had no objections!

The discussion continued.

"Who is it?"

Suddenly, Tang Julou's eyes widened. Black energy erupted from his body, and he spat out a mouthful of black blood!

His face was filled with rage!
