Even though Tianxue Futu was exceptionally intelligent and the son of the head steward, she would never tolerate such a thing happening.
Just as Tianxue Liuli was about to execute him, the head steward, who was also a father, stepped forward and declared that he would personally take the punishment, upholding justice even at the cost of family ties.
It was precisely because of this incident that Tianxue Liuli placed such great trust in the head steward.
But what Tianxue Liuli didn't expect was that the person who was originally executed had returned, and his cultivation had greatly improved, reaching the level of a half-step Great Dao Transformation.
That's why he was able to deceive her and successfully launch a sneak attack.
"Tianxue Liuli, you never imagined that not only did I survive, but I've now become a disciple of the True Demon Palace."
A proud look appeared on Tianxue Futu's face, and his aura became even more magnificent, a transcendence brought about by the three words "True Demon Palace" he spoke of.
"You actually became a member of the True Demon Palace!" Tianxue Liuli's eyes were filled with shock.
The True Demon Palace is one of the twelve divine Divine Hall under the Realm Lord, guarding the order of the Mysterious Heaven Realm, and possesses a transcendent status and power.
Compared to them, the Snow Heaven Clan is like a snowflake facing the sun; they don't even need to be touched, they'll melt as soon as they're exposed to it.
They are not even in the same league.
Even worse news came: Tianxue Futu not only survived, but also became a disciple of the True Demon Palace.
Thinking of this, a glint suddenly flashed in Tianxue Liuli's eyes, and she shouted loudly.
"Tianxue Futu, since you are a disciple of the True Demon Palace, you must know the rules of the Mysterious Heaven Realm, right?"
The Snow Heaven Clan is a race recognized by the Mysterious Heaven Realm and is recorded in the annals. Do you dare to do anything about it?
This was her last straw; she didn't believe the Tianxue Futu would dare to destroy it.
Upon hearing her words, the head steward chuckled, his laughter filled with sarcasm.
"Clan Chief, are you getting senile? Fu Tu is Snow Heaven Clan. He's handling his own family matters; the rules of the Mysterious Heaven Realm don't apply to him!"
"You..."
Before Tianxue Liuli could finish her sentence, she suffered a stroke and spat out a mouthful of blood. The sharp weapon in her chest emitted black laws that kept drilling into her body, making it difficult for her injuries to heal.
"Hehe... What a wonderful person. As long as I devour you, my cultivation will be restored, and I might even reach a higher level."
The head steward stared longingly at Tianxue Liuli lying on the ground, a strange light flashing in his eyes. He had coveted this body for countless years, and today he was finally going to get his wish.
Moreover, Tianxue Liuli's natal Yuan Dan is no ordinary Yuan Dan. As long as he can swallow it, restoring his cultivation will be a minor matter, and he might even be able to break through to the half-step Great Dao realm.
With this in mind, he prepared to take action, using the cultivation boost brought by the elixir to turn his dream into reality.
Otherwise, once one's cultivation level is lost, even if one has the will, one will no longer have the ability.
How could an ordinary person possibly breach the territory of a half-step Great Dao? It's no exaggeration to say they couldn't even pry open their legs.
So he has to do it soon... while it's hot.
"Wait for Father." Just then, Tianxue Futu reached out and stopped him, saying righteously:
"This woman's cultivation level is extraordinary. Let me teach her a lesson and show her what's what!"
"Son... you!" The head steward looked at his son with surprise and a strange expression.
"Father, my cultivation has reached a critical moment. After absorbing her, my cultivation will make a great breakthrough, and my status in the True Demon Palace will also be elevated."
"I can only ask you to make do for now and, as a last resort, devour that vile woman Tianxue Yaoyue."
Tianxue Futu explained in a serious tone, a hint of covetousness flashing in his eyes.
He had been thinking about Tianxue Liuli for a very, very long time...
Hearing this, the head steward hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Tianxue Yaoyue possessed the cultivation level of the ninth level of Taiji, and her appearance was no less than that of her older sister, Tianxue Liuli, with a unique charm.
Well, for my son's future, I have no choice but to compromise.
"Futu, your future is important. It's alright for your father to suffer a little." The head steward said seriously.
Suddenly, I thought of my deceased grandson again.
"It's a pity. If Junjie were still alive, Tianxue Ji could have been given to him. Wouldn't it have been perfect for three generations of us, grandfather and grandson?"
He was filled with regret and sorrow, and by the end, he was almost in tears.
Tianxue Futu's expression also darkened, his eyes flashing with cold light and his killing intent boiling.
"Once I've dealt with this vile woman, I'll avenge my son!"
"That's perfect. The murderer who killed Junjie is still in the Snow Heaven Clan." The head steward nodded, reaching a consensus.
Tianxue Liuli, severely injured and paralyzed on the ground, listened to the two men's disregard for others and felt a mixture of shock and anger, wishing she could tear these two beasts to pieces.
But she felt mostly despair.
Tianxue Futu has the same cultivation level as her. If she hadn't been injured, she wouldn't have been afraid. But at this moment, she probably couldn't even handle a ninth-level expert.
"No! Even if I die, I cannot let Xue Ji and Yao Yue get hurt."
Thinking of this, a fierce glint flashed in Tianxue Liuli's eyes. She desperately mobilized all her magical power and launched a violent attack on the father and son.
The sudden attack caught the other party off guard.
The head steward, due to his unstable cultivation level, was sent flying by a single palm strike and nearly dismembered.
"You shameless woman, how dare you act so aggressively?"
Enraged, Tianxue Futu's black robe billowed as his magical power surged forth, crashing towards Tianxue Liuli.
Boom...
The two engaged in a fierce battle instantly, and Tianxue Liuli, who was filled with the will to die, unexpectedly unleashed powerful magic.
Even though she was seriously injured, Tianxue Futu was unable to subdue her in a short time.
The atmosphere of battle swept through the Snow God Palace, shaking the entire mountain range.
This towering mountain, seemingly the center of the universe, stood in the endless void, unleashing a tremendous aura that shattered the perpetual snow of the boundless land.
In an instant, the entire Snow Heaven Clan was shaken. Everyone flew out of their caves and stared in shock at the main hall on the mountain.
"A powerful enemy is attacking! Be on alert!"
Tianxue Yaoyue appeared out of nowhere and flew towards the Snow God Palace. She immediately sensed something was wrong and rushed to provide support.
Immediately, the powerful members of the Snow Heaven Clan mobilized and attacked the Snow God Palace.
"Who dares to act so recklessly in my Snow Heaven Clan tribe?"
The last great battle left all the Snow Heaven Clan basking in the afterglow of victory, each one of them unstoppable, their momentum overwhelming, their faces radiating invincibility.
"Haha... Die, all of you!"
A domineering laugh rang out, shattering the Snow God Palace. The sound waves spread outwards like a tidal wave, causing the powerful figures to cough up blood and fly backwards.
Everyone stared in horror at the dark figure, which stood proudly alone, enveloped in a black aura of transcendence.
Opposite him stood the clan leader Tianxue Liuli, whose robes were stained with blood, whose breath was weak, and whose chest was pierced by a sharp weapon, clearly indicating that he was seriously injured.
"This is... a half-step into the Great Dao, the same realm as the clan leader!"
A powerful figure cried out in alarm, his face contorted with fear.
