Jia Lie Bi's Mockery!

The members of the Xiao Clan were overcome with excitement upon seeing Young Master Xiao Ze arrive to save them.

Conversely, the pressure sweeping across the opposite side shattered everything in its path; the members of the Jia Lie Family were left with their spirits broken and blood streaming from their seven orifices!

Perhaps they would never understand, even in death, when the Xiao Clan had come to possess such a powerhouse.

"A mere Jia Lie Family, daring to touch the people of my Xiao Clan—you are courting death!"

After resolving the conflict here, Xiao Ze did not linger, instead heading directly toward the Jia Lie Family estate.

Looking down at the Jia Lie Family compound from high above, Xiao Ze's face revealed his disdain; a family with only a Dou Grandmaster was nothing more than something he could wipe out with a flip of his hand.

"Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger!"

Without hesitation, Xiao Ze raised a finger and pressed it toward the Jia Lie Family.

Boom!

A simple finger was pointed out.

In an instant, the space within a hundred-meter radius stagnated, as if it were about to shatter.

Under the horrified and desperate gazes of everyone present, that terrifying finger descended straight toward them.

The members of the Jia Lie Family felt as if they had been struck by lightning, their bodies frozen in place; the shock brought about by this attack had already exceeded their imagination.

As the head of the family, Jia Lie Bi felt his scalp go numb.

Even he felt as insignificant as an ant before this attack.

"Damn you! To slaughter the innocent like this, how are you any different from a demonic cultivator? There will be no place for you on this Dou Qi Continent in the future!"

"Even if you are a Dou Emperor, dreaming of killing me is just that—a dream!"

Seeing this, Jia Lie Bi roared in a fit of rage.

Following that.

His aura as a Dou Grandmaster began to surge, and various Dou Techniques and sharp weapons flashed out, attempting to resist Xiao Ze's simple finger.

"Crack!"

His various Dou Techniques and secret arts failed to hold for even a second, instantly turning into powder.

They hadn't managed to hinder the attack in the slightest.

The pitch-black giant finger descended from the sky, the vast heavenly might seeming to freeze at this moment, finally stopping right before Jia Lie Bi.

"Wh... why?"

Feeling the finger that made even his soul tremble, Jia Lie Bi spoke with great difficulty.

"Because... you provoked someone you shouldn't have!"

As Xiao Ze's voice fell, the terrifying giant finger instantly engulfed Jia Lie Bi and his clansmen.

"No..."

"I... I am a Dou Grandmaster, you cannot..."

Without giving him a chance to beg for mercy, the bodies of everyone present instantly exploded into a mist of blood.

Even the souls within their bodies were instantly devoured, turning into nothingness and disappearing completely from the world.

"It's just a Dou Grandmaster, why so much drama..."

Xiao Ze rolled his eyes.

He swept his divine sense across the area below, and only after confirming there were no survivors did he return, satisfied.

As for the aftermath, he would leave that for the other members of the Xiao Clan to clean up.

He had already done what he needed to do.

As for whether he would be reviled by the world, he did not care.

If I want to kill you, one reason is enough: just because you are weak, you deserve to die!

Is there a problem with that?!

There is no problem at all.

"Father, I have already resolved the matter with the Jia Lie Family. You can take the clansmen to reclaim the marketplaces that were seized."

Upon returning to the Xiao Clan, Xiao Ze brought back good news.

"Good, you are worthy of being my son, Xiao Zhan! This father is proud of you!"

Xiao Zhan patted his shoulder with satisfaction, his eyes full of gratification.

To reclaim the seized marketplaces in just one day—let the Jia Lie Family dare not be so arrogant ever again.

Daring to look down on my Xiao Clan, this is the consequence!

The other elders, upon hearing this, also showed looks of admiration. With him in the Xiao Clan, why fear that it wouldn't flourish?

Fearing that everyone hadn't understood his meaning, Xiao Ze explained it again, "Father, what I meant was that the Jia Lie Family has been wiped out by me. From now on, there will be no more Jia Lie Family in Wutan City."

The elders of the Xiao Clan widened their eyes in shock upon hearing this, their eyes filled with horror.

The Jia Lie Family, which had been at the height of its power, was just gone like that?

Yet, as the clan disciples came to report, they were completely convinced.

"Report! Patriarch, the Jia Lie Family estate has vanished, leaving behind nothing but a massive crater!"

"According to reports from disciples at the marketplace, the Jia Lie Family attempted to seize control by force. Fortunately, Young Master Xiao Ze intervened in time, preventing any serious consequences."

The meeting hall fell deathly silent, and Xiao Zhan wore a look of utter astonishment.

It was over just like that?

Since when had the Jia Lie Family become so pathetic?

But when they learned that Xiao Ze was already a Dou Emperor, they were once again severely shaken, though this finally made sense.

To annihilate the Jia Lie Family in mere moments without leaving a trace—perhaps only a Dou Emperor possessed such means.

But these things were no longer important; since the Jia Lie Family had been wiped out, they would be the ones to reap the fruits of victory.

"Good, Ze'er! With you here, the revival of our Xiao Clan is just around the corner!"

Xiao Zhan was in high spirits; his son being a Dou Emperor truly brought great honor to his name.

"These are all things this child ought to do."

As for the clan elders, they could only look on with envy.

The dream of seeing one's child become a dragon was fully realized in this moment.

Xiao Yu, Xiao Ning, and Xiao Mei each wore different expressions, their thoughts unreadable.

Following this, Xiao Zhan immediately issued an order for all clan disciples to mobilize, not only to reclaim the occupied marketplaces but also to seize the ruins of the Jia Lie Family estate.

From this day forward, the tripartite balance of power in Wutan City would be gone forever, and his Xiao Clan would become the absolute hegemon.

This day was destined to be extraordinary.

News of the Jia Lie Family's destruction quickly spread throughout Wutan City, but unexpectedly, no one stood up to oppose it.

Perhaps they all knew that since the Xiao Clan had produced a Dou Emperor, becoming their enemy would be no different than throwing an egg against a rock.

The cautionary tale of the Jia Lie Family served as a constant warning to them all.

As for the families that had previously held grievances with the Xiao Clan, they were the first to arrive at the doorstep to offer their apologies.

Leaving the meeting hall, Xiao Ze brought Xiao Yi Xian back to his room.

The remaining matters no longer required his personal involvement.

And since he could not stay in Wutan City forever, he had to eliminate all potential threats before his departure.

In this life, he would never allow his father to be abducted by the Soul Hall again!

"Xiao Yi Xian, I will be leaving the Xiao Clan in a while. You won't blame me, will you?"

On the soft bed, the two held each other tightly, and Xiao Ze spoke with an apologetic expression.

He had only brought Xiao Yi Xian back to the Xiao Clan a few days ago, and now he had to leave; as a husband, he felt truly guilty.

"It's alright, Xiao Ze. I feel very good in the Xiao Clan; it has allowed me to feel a warmth I haven't experienced in a long time," Xiao Yi Xian said contentedly.

Compared to Green Mountain Town, there was less scheming here, and his father treated her very well, barely letting her suffer any grievances.

What more could she possibly ask for?

"Xiao Yi Xian, you are always so considerate."

Xiao Ze was deeply moved; with Xiao Yi Xian guarding the clan, he could leave with peace of mind.

It was a sleepless night, and Xiao Ze rewarded Xiao Yi Xian thoroughly.

She did not disappoint, as her cultivation advanced further, reaching the level of a four-star Dou Emperor!

"Xiao Ze, actually, Sister Xun Er is quite wonderful. I see that she treats you very well; why do you intentionally give her the cold shoulder?" Xiao Yi Xian asked, catching him off guard.

"Isn't that because I'm afraid you two will fight?"

Xiao Yi Xian merely pursed her lips and smiled, "Why do you assume we can't get along peacefully?"
