The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect killed them, it has nothing to do with me!

A mere 29th-rank Soul Grand Master; dying is just dying.

In this Star Dou Forest, people die every single day, and those without any background like Xu Xiao are beyond counting.

In the eyes of Tang Lie, being able to die at the hands of his Clear Sky Sect is your honor.

Xu Xiao looked the group up and down.

Aside from Tang Lie and the four stronger ones beside him, the rest were just small fries; it seemed Tang Lie had brought them along to hunt for soul rings.

Xu Xiao watched the other party quietly.

"Is your Clear Sky Sect always this overbearing?"

Xu Xiao spoke coldly, his gaze sweeping toward the direction Yu Luomian had left. The other party was already far away; he figured they wouldn't notice the commotion here.

Even if they did notice, they wouldn't dare do anything. After all, it was the Clear Sky Sect—they couldn't afford to provoke them.

"Heh, overbearing!"

"My Clear Sky Sect is the most reasonable of all."

"The words of my Clear Sky Sect are reason itself. If you feel it is unreasonable, then that is your problem."

"Now, I told you to think about how you want to die; do you think that is reasonable?"

Tang Lie playfully brought out his Clear Sky Hammer, slamming it heavily into the ground, his provocative gaze fixed on Xu Xiao as if looking at a dead man.

Someone who dared to eavesdrop on his Clear Sky Sect—they truly had guts.

Since you did it, you must pay the price.

My Clear Sky Sect is not so easily offended.

"Hahahaha, look at him, he's scared!"

"A rogue cultivator, daring to eavesdrop on our Clear Sky Sect's conversation—he's simply courting death."

"Don't kill him yet, let's play with him first. I think he actually looks quite delicate and pretty!"

"..."

Listening to their words, Xu Xiao sneered in his heart. The Clear Sky Sect, truly worthy of being a sect of beasts.

They throw heavy punches at those without backgrounds, yet they still harbor reservations when facing the Blue Lightning.

Xu Xiao scanned them coldly.

He had hoped to avoid them, but he had been discovered. Since he was discovered, then you all can go to hell.

If it weren't for the fact that Yu Luomian and his group left so quickly, who knows how many people would have died today?

"Tang Lie, oh Tang Lie, tell me, if you were to die here today, would that ancestor of yours avenge you? Would he be able to find me?"

A wicked, charming smile appeared on Xu Xiao's cold face, sinister and terrifying.

In an instant, Xu Xiao summoned his martial soul.

Seeing the small pagoda, Tang Lie paused and exclaimed, "You are actually from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

He quickly reacted, "Even if you are from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, so what? Today, you must die!"

Tang Lie became even less afraid. A mere support-type from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had no combat power; even if he died, who would know it was the work of the Clear Sky Sect?

No matter if you are from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, my Clear Sky Sect fears nothing.

"Do you think your sect master will avenge you?"

Returning the same words with a smile, Tang Lie waited to see what Xu Xiao would do.

The members of the Clear Sky Sect heard this and laughed in unison, as if Xu Xiao were already their prey.

They had thought he was some powerful soul master, but it turned out he was just a support-type from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Did he really think his Clear Sky Sect wouldn't dare touch someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

Heh, laughable, truly laughable.

Xu Xiao held a moment of silence for them in his heart. Mistaking him for someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect didn't just make them brainless brutes; it made them brainless idiots.

That was fine, too. What the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect does, what does that have to do with me?

"Kid, say your last words!" Tang Lie raised his Clear Sky Hammer, aiming it at Xu Xiao.

Xu Xiao chuckled and tapped his Spirit Pagoda lightly!

In an instant, an aura that blotted out the sky poured down, pinning the members of the Clear Sky Sect firmly to the ground.

Towering vines instantly coiled around the twelve members of the Clear Sky Sect.

"Emperor, kill everyone except this one!"

Xu Xiao spoke coldly, his expression chillingly calm.

The Blue Silver Emperor hesitated for a moment, but ultimately followed Xu Xiao's suggestion. With a gentle exertion of the vines, the heads of everyone except Tang Lie were torn off!

Tang Lie was trembling all over, his legs turning to jelly; he had already been scared into wetting himself.

"Heh, Clear Sky Sect? My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has offended you, so what can you do about it?"

"Tang Lie, say your last words!"

Xu Xiao returned his own words back to him.

But now, Tang Lie was so terrified that he couldn't even utter a single word.

Xu Xiao snorted. So much for the backbone of the Clear Sky Sect? Is that all they had?

Truly disappointing.

If they hadn't discovered him and lured him out, perhaps they would have had a way to survive today.

Now, it could only be said that those who court death shall not live!

"Let... let me go. If I die, the Clear Sky Sect will not let your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect off."

Tang Lie swallowed repeatedly, trembling as he spoke these words.

But all that greeted him was a strange, eerie smile from Xu Xiao.

"I only want you dead!"

Xu Xiao's icy words passed the death sentence. Tang Lie, a man with some reputation, but why did you have to be so fond of causing trouble?

I am kindly putting you to death, saving you from seeing the Clear Sky Sect beaten into hiding, and saving you from watching your son get killed.

Wait, you probably don't have a son yet, but it doesn't matter. In your next life, don't be so arrogant.

"Who told you to be so unlucky?"

As Xu Xiao spoke, the Spirit Pagoda in his hand suddenly grew in size, and he slammed it violently toward Tang Lie.

One hit, two hits, three hits!

After a full ten strikes, Tang Lie was beaten to death by Xu Xiao.

You wanted me dead, and regardless of the reason, I can only let you die.

Exhaling, Xu Xiao felt refreshed.

See, if you want to kill me, you have to have the strength to back it up.

"Emperor, release your Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast pressure to suppress this thing, then let's get out of here!"

Xu Xiao called out hurriedly. The Blue Silver Emperor did not ask any questions, unleashed the pressure of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast to suppress the area, and turned to enter the Spirit Pagoda.

Xu Xiao did not hesitate either; he turned and ran, found a place to take a nice bath, changed his clothes, and headed toward the Sunset Forest.

It seemed as if everything had nothing to do with Xu Xiao anymore.

It wasn't me who killed him; it was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. What does that have to do with me?

Tang Lie himself confirmed that he was from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. See, see, that's the Seven Treasure's business now, it has nothing to do with me, Xu Xiao.

No matter what, they would never trace it back to him. At most, they would think it was done by a soul beast. The Star Dou Forest is so vast—could they possibly find it?

Maybe they would even find Di Tian; that would be fun.

But all of this had nothing to do with Xu Xiao anymore.

Taking out someone from the Clear Sky Sect on the first try—it really was quite thrilling.

Three days later, the bodies of Tang Lie and his group were discovered, and the news quickly reached the ears of the Clear Sky Sect.

The current Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect was still Tang Chen.

"Zhan'er, investigate this matter personally."

"With Lie'er's skills, hunting soul rings for those little ones should have been an easy task."

"Soul beast interference? Heh, do they really think my Clear Sky Sect is easy to bully?"

"Investigate at all costs. Even if it is the Martial Soul Hall, I will make them pay a heavy price!"

The old man sitting on the main seat spoke coldly. A thick and biting aura rippled out in waves, his voice booming and filled with unquestionable authority.
