Stand Up and Dance

"I was the one who did it, but who could have guessed that a fellow Daoist would suddenly appear here?"

The old woman stared vigilantly at Li Zhōujūn as she spoke.

Her staff strike was filled with killing intent; even someone at the Tribulation Stage would have died on the spot if they took a direct hit.

Yet, after this suddenly appearing young man took the blow to his head, all that resulted was a bump, with the rest of him completely unharmed.

With such strength, could this person have already achieved physical sainthood?

Thinking this, the old woman treated him as a formidable enemy.

After all, the Lingxue Mountain Lord of the Dao Tian Sect had called out this person's name; they clearly knew each other.

"You are Grandma Golden Flower?"

Li Zhōujūn asked the old woman.

"Indeed," the old woman nodded. "With your appearance, Daoist, are you here to save this Lingxue Mountain Lord of the Dao Tian Sect?"

"That's right," Li Zhōujūn replied. As he spoke, he turned to Murong Xue and asked, "Why did you suddenly appear here and provoke someone into wanting to kill you?"

Murong Xue's expression was grave. "Yesterday, I received news that a disciple from my mountain had accidentally trespassed onto Golden Flower Island and was captured by Grandma Golden Flower. I came to retrieve my disciple. Initially, the conversation was quite normal, but Grandma Golden Flower refused to release him. I heard movement from a room nearby, so I took the opportunity to open the door. I never expected to find countless cultivator skeletons inside, along with an evil entity encased in a cocoon."

"Hmph, the owners of those skeletons were people who coveted the treasures of my Golden Flower Island. Should they not be killed?" Grandma Golden Flower snorted coldly.

Murong Xue said, "If I'm not mistaken, the rumors of a treasure that allows cultivators to achieve immortality on Golden Flower Island were spread by you, Grandma Golden Flower, right? You deliberately lured cultivators to your Golden Flower Island to seek treasure, only for you to feed them to that evil entity."

"That's right, little girl, your mind is quite sharp. If this person hadn't suddenly appeared, you would already be nourishment for my child," Grandma Golden Flower sneered.

"So, what you're saying is that my disciple from Lingxue Mountain has already been killed by you," Murong Xue said, her face darkening.

"Would I keep them alive for the New Year?" Grandma Golden Flower scoffed.

"Hiss, you old hag are incredibly arrogant," Li Zhōujūn remarked.

"Heh heh, I advise you not to meddle in other people's affairs. Your strength may not be weak, but the person standing behind me is not someone you can afford to offend," Grandma Golden Flower said with a cold smile at Li Zhōujūn.

"Who is standing behind you? I'd really like to know," Li Zhōujūn said with a light chuckle.

"Since you want to know, I'll tell you who it is," Grandma Golden Flower snorted, chanting a spell. "Vast blood sea, surging to the heavens, with my blood, I summon the Blood Ancestor to descend!"

"Blood Ancestor?" Li Zhōujūn's face froze upon hearing Grandma Golden Flower's chant, and then a playful look appeared in his eyes.

In the next moment, blood energy surged from Grandma Golden Flower, forming a bloody phantom above her.

"Blood Ancestor? Could it be the Blood Ancestor who descended to Qingzhou from the outside world ten thousand years ago?" Murong Xue's expression turned worried upon hearing this.

At the same time, seeing the bloody phantom condense, Grandma Golden Flower respectfully bowed to it. "Golden Flower greets the Blood Ancestor."

However, the Blood Ancestor did not reply for a long time.

When she looked up, she saw the Blood Ancestor looking at Li Zhōujūn with anger.

Grandma Golden Flower was stunned. She hadn't even stated who the enemy was, and yet the Blood Ancestor had already locked eyes with Li Zhōujūn.

What's going on?

"It's you again," the Blood Ancestor said slowly to Li Zhōujūn.

"Call me Daddy," Li Zhōujūn grinned.

"Brat, don't push your luck," the Blood Ancestor snorted coldly. "When my true body..."

Before the Blood Ancestor could finish speaking, Li Zhōujūn threw a punch at him, emitting a thunderous sonic boom.

Seeing this, the Blood Ancestor roared in fury, "Scoundrel!"

As he spoke, the Blood Ancestor retaliated, also throwing a punch at Li Zhōujūn.

Their fists collided, and a terrifying wave of energy swept out in all directions.

The ground where everyone stood cracked, forming spiderweb-like fissures.

"How is this possible? This person can actually withstand a blow from the Blood Ancestor?!"

Grandma Golden Flower was utterly shocked.

The Blood Ancestor was a Mahayana True Immortal level expert!

Even a clone possessed the might of an immortal, so how could a cultivator at the Tribulation Stage possibly withstand it?

There was only one possibility: this young man was also a Mahayana True Immortal level expert!

It was just that this young man was relatively weaker, only able to fight the Blood Ancestor's clone to a draw.

But even so, it would be as easy as flipping a hand for this young man to deal with her!

Thinking this, Grandma Golden Flower panicked.

After all, the Blood Ancestor's clone couldn't be maintained for long. Once the clone dissipated, wouldn't she become a lamb to the slaughter?

Murong Xue also looked at Li Zhōujūn with an incredulous gaze.

Li Zhōujūn is a Mahayana True Immortal?

"Brat, you can only fight my clone to a draw. If my true self were here, how many rounds could you withstand?!"

Just as Grandma Golden Flower and Murong Xue were shocked by Li Zhōujūn's strength, the Blood Ancestor said to Li Zhōujūn with a cold snort.

"Then why don't you bring your main body over? All talk and no action, you're just a blowhard," Li Zhōujūn taunted.

"You just wait! Sooner or later, this old ancestor will tear you to pieces!" the Blood Ancestor spat, his form dissipating as he fled.

After all, if this clone were to be depleted by Li Zhōujūn again, it would be a terrible loss.

Li Zhōujūn didn't pursue as the Blood Ancestor escaped, knowing he couldn't catch him anyway.

He just ran off?

Seeing this, Grandma Golden Flower was stunned. What had he said when he asked the old woman to submit to him?

"As long as you help me raise that blood demon, I'll guarantee you reach the Mahayana stage."

This old woman had raised that blood demon like her own son all these years!

Is this how you treat me?

"Immortal Sir, spare my life!"

Grandma Golden Flower dropped her cane and knelt directly before Li Zhōujūn.

[Ding: Congratulations to the host for successfully rescuing Murong Xue!]

[Ding: The System is issuing rewards: 'Ao Xue Flying Sword's grade has been upgraded to Ninth-grade!']

[Ding: The System is issuing rewards: 'Oath Array!']

[Ninth-grade Flying Sword]: This is a True Immortal's sword!

[Oath Array]: This can be inscribed in the heart of a swearing cultivator. If the swearing cultivator breaks their oath, the Oath Array will summon heavenly lightning!

Li Zhōujūn was currently examining the rewards issued by the System.

Seeing Li Zhōujūn remain silent, Grandma Golden Flower panicked.

"Immortal Sir?" Grandma Golden Flower asked tentatively.

"Hmm?" Li Zhōujūn snapped back to attention, looking at Grandma Golden Flower, who was kneeling on the ground with a worried expression.

"Stand up and do a dance, and I'll consider whether to let you go," Li Zhōujūn said with a grin at Grandma Golden Flower.

Murong Xue: "..."

Grandma Golden Flower: "..."
