Xuan Ning's eyes were bloodshot, filled with the raging flames of hatred.
After he spoke those words.
Fine white threads began to coil through the air before him.
The threads continuously intertwined and shifted, transforming into runes that contained the Dao Charm.
Xuan Ning bit through his index finger and sealed the pact with blood.
In an instant, the runes burst into white starlight and scattered away.
A Heavenly Dao Contract, not to be violated.
Su Chenxiao's expression remained unchanged. He stared into Xuan Ning's eyes for a long while before finally saying calmly.
"Get up. He will not escape."
"When the Crimson Meteor Burial Ground opens, let him be buried there alongside the Black Ancient Scripture of the Dark Era."
Xuan Ning was overjoyed upon hearing this. He knocked his head heavily against the ground and shouted.
"Xuan Ning thanks you, Young Master!"
What had happened to the Xuan Family caused no small stir among the Hidden Ancient Clans.
No one had expected that such a ruthless and decisive clan leader would choose to take his own life because of his son.
But the pursuit of Xuan Aotian did not end there.
The various Hidden Ancient Clans joined forces to seal off this Dao Domain.
At the same time, they issued a massive bounty. Anyone who captured Xuan Aotian or provided information about him would receive an enormous reward!
Faced with such a staggering reward, even at the risk of being eroded by the bizarre creatures of the Dark Era.
Countless cultivators still swarmed toward it like ducks, frantically searching for Xuan Aotian's trail!
At this moment, within the Mist Forest Mountain Range.
A tremendous blast erupted from the deathly silent ancient forest!
"Rumble—"
"All of you, die!"
Xuan Aotian was covered in blood, his face crazed and savage as he slaughtered the several dozen cultivators who had appeared here!
His right hand gripped an Ancient Clan cultivator who was struggling nonstop as he forcibly searched the man's soul!
Buzz.
After forcibly extracting the man's memories, Xuan Aotian's entire body began to tremble, his gaze terrifyingly cold.
Ignoring the man's agonized and shrill screams.
His right hand suddenly clenched, crushing the man's head alive!
"Bang!"
Blood splattered across his cheeks and into his eyes.
The news of his father's death filled Xuan Aotian with unbearable grief, and he could not help but throw back his head and howl.
"Aah!!!"
The Black Ancient Scripture floated beside him, releasing an incomparably eerie power that destroyed all the corpses around them.
A shadow appeared beside Xuan Aotian. Seeing him kneeling on the ground and trembling without end, it let out a sinister cackle.
"What is this? Didn't you hate your father terribly?"
"Why do you seem so pained after learning that he is dead?"
"Boom!"
Xuan Aotian hammered the ground with punch after frenzied punch.
Even after his hands had become a bloody pulp, he still did not stop.
Only when he had smashed a deep pit into the earth did Xuan Aotian slowly raise his head.
Two trails of bloody tears streamed down from those incomparably scarlet eyes.
The shadow produced by the Black Ancient Scripture clicked its tongue in admiration beside him.
"What wonderful eyes. In them, I see hatred, fury..."
Xuan Aotian turned his head coldly and threw a punch at the shadow, roaring.
"Shut your... mouth!"
Yet his attack only dispersed the shadow for a moment before it reformed.
"That old bastard clearly died for the Xuan Family, yet he had the gall to claim it was for me!"
"All of this is what he owed me, Xuan Aotian!"
"Did he think I would forgive him because of this? Not in a million years!"
From this day onward, he no longer had any damn blood ties. No one could restrain him anymore!
Whoever it was, if Xuan Aotian wanted to kill them, he would kill them!
Not one of those who had ever offended Xuan Aotian would be spared!
At that thought, Xuan Aotian threw back his head and laughed madly.
"Hahahaha!"
Even his eyes were gradually tainted by wisps of black qi.
He was utterly unaware of the shadow beside him, its mouth full of fangs stretched wide as it continued to cackle.
One day later.
At the summit of the Xuan Family's Thousand Mechanisms Peak.
An enormous scarlet vortex stood atop the mountain.
A barrier had been erected around it. Without a Qualification Token, no one could enter.
Tens of thousands of people had gathered here, awaiting the opening of the Crimson Meteor Burial Ground today.
Su Chenxiao sat in the seat of honor, while several Ancient Clan leaders stood respectfully beside him.
"You say you can capture Xuan Aotian today?"
Su Chenxiao looked with interest toward Qi Kong, the Qi Family's clan leader, at his side.
Qi Kong cupped his hands respectfully and said.
"In reply to Young Master, Xuan Aotian killed my youngest son and seized the Qualification Token from him, all so that he could enter the Crimson Meteor Burial Ground."
"Now, we have sealed off the entire Kan Ming Dao Domain."
"If that brat wishes to escape, his only option is to pass through the Primordial Teleportation Array within the Crimson Meteor Burial Ground!"
Xuan Ning swept his cold gaze across the crowd below and said in a deep voice.
"Perhaps he is already hiding among the crowd."
Su Chenxiao smiled faintly. "Would you like this Young Master to help?"
Qi Kong exchanged glances with the other clan leaders, and all of them replied with complete confidence.
"Young Master, there are four Saint Realm experts here. If we cannot even capture a mere abandoned son of the Undying Realm, would we not become the laughingstock of the world?"
Another clan leader also gave his assurance.
"If four Saint Realm experts acting personally still cannot capture Xuan Aotian, we might as well smash our heads into blocks of tofu and die!"
That damned sense of déjà vu...
Su Chenxiao's expression turned somewhat strange at those words, but he said nothing.
Buzz.
The system panel unfolded.
The bright, flashing red dot on the system map was right here.
Su Chenxiao smiled as he looked down into the crowd.
Within the crowd, a rough-faced man wearing a gray cloak hurriedly lowered his head.
Damn it, did this guy discover me?
A sinister laugh sounded within his sea of consciousness.
"What are you afraid of? You have the Black Ancient Scripture on you. Even if you are exposed, so what?"
"Your purpose in stealing the Qualification Token earlier was far too obvious. I can sense the aura of a killing formation here. This group has likely already laid a net that stretches across heaven and earth, intending to drag you out today..."
Upon hearing this, a cold killing intent flashed through Xuan Aotian's eyes. He smiled with extreme disdain.
"Just these people think they can capture me, Xuan Aotian, with this?"
He had long since made his plans.
Su Chenxiao withdrew his gaze.
Sitting in his chair, he lazily propped his head with his left hand. His eyes lowered as he smiled with a hint of amusement.
He had arrived quite early.
Make trouble. It would be best if he made this scene even bigger.
After all, he already had so many crimes on his back. One more would make no difference...
With a light flick of his right hand.
A Death Soul Beast in the form of a white furball suddenly appeared in his palm.
Ever since it had devoured the Divine Soul of a King Sealing Realm cultivator, the Death Soul Beast had spent a long time digesting it.
It had now evolved from its juvenile stage into its adolescent stage. Its aura had grown much stronger, and it was likely time for it to serve some purpose.
About the time it took for an incense stick to burn.
The Xuan Family's Great Elder looked toward the secret realm vortex atop the peak.
Only when the vortex of the secret realm had turned bright scarlet and fully manifested.
Did he step before Su Chenxiao and the Ancient Clan leaders, speaking with utmost respect.
"The time has come. We may enter the Crimson Meteor Burial Ground."
Qi Kong nodded. He exchanged looks with the surrounding Ancient Clan leaders, signaling that they could begin.
They had already arranged everything with complete confidence before coming here!
Qi Kong sneered and said.
"Then, let us begin!"
"Xuan Ning, lend me your blood!"
Before you continue
