I Came, I Saw

As Li Ji'an slowly approached, Guangling's face showed a smug satisfaction.

"Fifth Uncle, this is heaven's will, hahaha…"

The old man gritted his teeth, his eyes nearly spitting blood: "Ah! You will ruin the family sooner or later! The destruction of the family is all thanks to you. I will wait for you in the underworld to atone…"

With that, the last trace of Magical Power in his Dantian erupted.

"Boom!"

However, it was already the end of its tether, its power less than one-tenth of its usual strength. It only managed to push Guangling back three feet, while he himself collapsed completely on the ground, lacking the strength to even move.

Seeing Li Ji'an closing in, the old man ultimately did not reveal the family's secret to this ant in his eyes.

No matter how the family argued, he was fighting for the family's eternal prosperity, not for outsiders to take advantage, let alone this Blood Slave.

Unwillingness, sorrow, and despair filled his heart, and his face grew even more deathly.

He slowly closed his eyes, awaiting the arrival of death.

"Swish~" However, just as he was about to close his eyes, an accident occurred.

Li Ji'an, holding his Flying Sword, was about to reach his side when he suddenly reversed his wrist and slashed at Guangling with lightning speed.

Guangling, whose Magical Power was already depleted, was also in a state of post-calamity survival. He had never imagined that the ant in his eyes would attack him, leaving him completely unprepared.

"Pfft~" A sword severed his head, blood splashing three feet.

Even as his head fell to the ground, his face still held that smug expression.

"Brother Li!" The four people behind him were startled again.

During the previous chaotic battle, they had fought for self-preservation, ultimately breaking free from the shackles of being "immortal" and daring to resist.

But at this moment, they were caught completely off guard.

This person who had slapped their Emperor, this Immortal Master who had guided them, was killed just like that by Li Ji'an!

The old man's eyes widened even further, staring at Li Ji'an in disbelief.

An ant from the Land Abandoned by Heaven had killed the "Immortal Master" who had come to guide them, and could remain so calm and composed.

If he were not bound by his circumstances, he would definitely warn the clan: this child must not be kept!

"I ask, you answer, otherwise it will be worse than death." Li Ji'an strode to the old man's side, looking down at him, his tone indifferent.

"Hahaha, cough cough… I never thought I'd be looked down upon by an ant in this lifetime…" The old man gave a bitter laugh, feeling only sorrow.

He did not answer Li Ji'an's question at all.

Let alone these mortals from the Land Abandoned by Heaven, even ordinary people in the Heavenly Azure Domain who were unable to cultivate were not qualified to speak to him, let alone be looked down upon so arrogantly and rebelliously!

The next moment, the old man bit his tongue hard, using his life essence to surge through his meridians, intending to self-destruct.

"Stubborn fool!" Li Ji'an, surprised, let out a cold laugh and pressed a palm onto the old man's crown.

He intended to self-destruct through Vital Energy and Blood.

But compared to his Vital Energy and Blood, the old man's meager amount was insignificant.

In an instant, the old man suddenly discovered that his meridians were being nourished by a powerful surge of Vital Energy and Blood. His own life essence was utterly incapable of shaking it in the slightest.

What followed was that this Vital Energy and Blood, which had been nourishing his meridians, instantly transformed into thousands of fine needles, charging wildly within his body, reckless and causing extreme pain.

Compared to the old man's magical cultivation, Li Ji'an, a physical cultivator, had a more thorough understanding of the body's meridians and knew exactly which method would inflict the most agonizing pain.

A magical cultivator without Magical Power was not much stronger than an ordinary person physically.

"What are Blood Slaves for?" After letting him experience a level five pain, Li Ji'an spoke again.

"Hmph! Ant."

"Ah!" The pain escalated to level six.

"Which family are you from?"

"How dare a mere ant question an immortal?"

"Ah!" The pain escalated to level seven.

"What is the Land Abandoned by Heaven?"

"Bah! Kill me if you dare."

"Ah!" The pain escalated to level eight.

"What are physical cultivators and magical cultivators respectively? Is the Martial Path you taught us physical cultivation?"

"You dream of extracting information from me!"

"Ah!" The pain escalated to level nine.

"How far is this place from the cultivation world?"

"Kill me!"

"What was the fate of the Blood Slaves brought back previously? And what about a woman named Ning Sujin?"

After suffering bone-gnawing agony and heart-piercing torment, the old man finally shed his former lofty demeanor as an Immortal Master.

However, Li Ji'an had underestimated the resolve of cultivators.

The old man refused to divulge any information about his family, choosing to answer questions selectively.

To force him to lead them out of this desert storm zone, Li Ji'an had no choice but to compromise, promising him a swift death if he guided them out of this place and into the cultivation world of Cangyun Prefecture.

This scene left the other four in a state of turmoil for a long time.

"Immortal Masters" could not only kill, but also feel pain and beg for mercy!

It wasn't until the old man used Spirit Stones to power the Flying Boat, and then controlled it with his spiritual sense, that they finally set sail again. Five days later, the endless yellow sand finally came to an end.

A desolate and barren wilderness greeted the five, yet it brought them the joy of finding a verdant oasis.

As the Flying Boat landed, Li Ji'an drained the Vital Energy and Blood from the old man's body, instantly extinguishing his life force.

"Pah!" Zhao Shuyao was the first to step forward, shattering the old man's head with a single palm strike.

The other three then stepped forward, each using their own methods to leave their mark on the old man's body.

A smile flickered across Li Ji'an's lips, understanding that they were making a blood oath.

He withdrew his gaze from the old man and looked into the distance, organizing all the information he had about this world in his mind...

Heavenly Azure Domain!

The Desolate Ridge Wasteland in the southernmost part of Cangyun Prefecture...

The old man's family was located in the northernmost part of Cangyun Prefecture, tens of thousands of miles away.

He was a cultivator at the Ninth Level of Qi Condensation.

The two masked cultivators were rising stars from the clan, at the Fourth Level of Qi Condensation.

The Guiding Immortal Master, Guangling, was a Prodigy within the clan, at the Eighth Level of Qi Condensation.

"Kirin Body Cultivator, Eternal Law Cultivator, Nether Soul Cultivator..."

"A desolate land abandoned by the Heavenly Dao... and not just Immortal Bestowed Dynasty alone."

After standing for a long time, Li Ji'an slowly exhaled, his gaze fixed on a point of light in the distance that was gradually growing larger.

"Cultivation world, I've arrived!"

After disposing of the old man's corpse, Li Ji'an instructed them to bury the storage bags and Flying Swords they had obtained from Guangling and the others.

Then, they prepared to head east with the four of them.

"Roar~" However, just as they were about to leave, a beast's roar suddenly sounded.

"Spirit Beast?" The five turned their heads and saw a canine beast the size of a small calf.

Immortal Bestowed Dynasty had no shortage of Spirit Beasts, and the five of them had eaten quite a bit.

In his previous life, at his peak, Li Ji'an had also searched extensively for Spirit Beasts in Immortal Bestowed Dynasty, hoping to find something special, but to no avail.

The Spirit Beasts of Immortal Bestowed Dynasty were wild beasts possessing certain special bloodlines, often beneficial for nourishing Vital Energy and Blood and strengthening the internal organs.

Their own strength was significantly greater than that of ordinary wild beasts.

However, there were limits; Martial Artists above the Blood Transformation realm could kill Spirit Beasts with ease.

"Be careful! This is no ordinary Spirit Beast. If I'm not mistaken, it should be a Yao Beast!" Li Ji'an warned.

"Yao Beast?"

Upon hearing the word "Yao," which was originally juxtaposed with "Immortal," the four immediately dropped their guard.

"Roar~" The canine beast roared again, simultaneously trying to intimidate Li Ji'an and his group, while its eyes repeatedly strayed towards the old man's corpse on the ground.
