Wurong County, the Bai Family in the eastern part of the city!

A vast, boundless, terrifying pressure as heavy as a galaxy suddenly descended from the heavens, crashing down over the entire hundred-acre estate.

**Bzzzz!~~~

The heavens and earth trembled faintly, and the air instantly froze solid.

Within the enormous Bai Family residence, every servant and guard caught their breath. Their hairs stood on end, their bodies shook like sieves, and one after another, they dropped to their knees with thuds.

The lights in the hall swayed wildly, the candle flames flickering violently and nearly going out altogether. The delicacies and cups spread across the table shook madly, wine continuously splashing over the polished rosewood tabletop.

Bai Yifan, who had been lounging with a contemptuous look in his eyes only moments ago, instantly turned deathly pale. An unimaginable pressure clamped down on his chest, making even breathing incomparably difficult. The arrogance and defiance in his eyes vanished completely, leaving behind only utter terror.

Bai Huaxiong, seated at the head of the table, underwent a drastic change in expression. His previously unhurried composure disappeared without a trace. His entire body began trembling violently, his pupils shrinking sharply to pinpoints, while his formerly ruddy, well-fed face turned paper-white and bloodless.

An expert!

A supreme expert!

Monstrous waves rose in his heart as his horror reached its peak.

Bai Huaxiong himself was a late-stage Acquired Realm martial artist. Having spent many years in Wurong County, he had once been fortunate enough to meet Xiantian Realm martial artists and personally experience Xiantian pressure.

Yet compared to the pressure he had felt from Xiantian Realm experts before, the pressure now enveloping him was as different as heaven and earth!

Bai Huaxiong was certain that this supreme expert was absolutely a Grandmaster Realm expert who had surpassed the Xiantian Realm.

But as thoughts raced through Bai Huaxiong's mind, he simply could not remember when his family had ever offended a supreme Grandmaster Realm expert!

"Father, th-this... what is going on?!" Bai Yifan, beside him, had long since been scared out of his wits. His entire body trembled, his lips white, with not a trace left of his usual arrogant tyranny. Looking at his father, he asked in a shaking voice.

"I..."

"The Bai Family must be executed!!!"

Before Bai Huaxiong could say anything, a voice like heavenly thunder boomed above the Bai Family, shaking the void as it spread across all of Wurong County.

The instant those words fell, the entire night sky shuddered violently, and the air currents churned and twisted madly.

A colossal silver palm, more than a hundred zhang across, slowly took shape from the void. Its palm force was vast and ancient, carrying terrifying strength capable of crushing all things and boundless killing intent as it crashed down toward the Bai Family's main residence below!

**Rumble!!!~~~

A deafening explosion suddenly erupted. The earth shook violently, and the ground throughout Wurong County trembled as though a giant dragon were turning over beneath it.

The silver giant palm crashed down. Raging waves of true qi swept in every direction, shattering bricks and stones, snapping beams and pillars, and instantly reducing the luxurious pavilions and towers to rubble.

Dust filled the sky, broken tiles and splintered wood flying everywhere. The Bai Family's main residence became ruins in an instant.

The powerful shockwave swept through the entire hundred-acre compound. The guards and servants inside did not even have time to scream before the violent force directly shook them to death.

In an instant!

The Bai Family, which had relied on its power and influence to run rampant through Wurong County, was wiped out in the blink of an eye!

Chen An stood in the air, his robes fluttering lightly in the wind. His eyes were cold and indifferent as he quietly looked down at the Bai Family residence, now reduced to broken walls and shattered ruins.

His gaze slowly swept through the depths of the ruins. Seeing clearly that father and son Bai Huaxiong and Bai Yifan had long been turned into pulp beneath the Grandmaster's giant palm, with not a shred of life remaining, the killing intent in his eyes completely receded, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

The next moment, the void rippled faintly. Chen An's figure suddenly blurred, vanishing from the night sky in an instant before appearing in a hidden courtyard behind the Bai Family estate.

If you can't find the book by searching its title, try searching for the author instead. It may have simply been renamed!

With a sweep of his right arm, Xiantian true astral energy surged out, transforming into a wild gale and tremendous force that blasted away layer upon layer of broken wood, rubble, and collapsed bricks and tiles.

The heavy ruins were forcibly pushed aside and stripped away. Beneath the ground, locked redwood treasure chests and iron-bound strongboxes were revealed. Box after box had been stacked neatly together, all filled with rare treasures accumulated through the Bai Family's years of plunder, vast quantities of Yuan Crystals, rare pills, divine weapons, sharp blades, cultivation techniques, and martial skills.

Without looking at the rare treasures or precious pills, Chen An directly opened the chests containing Yuan Crystals.

At once, purple radiance erupted into the void. Purple-glowing Yuan Crystals, each worth a thousand yuan, appeared before him one after another.

"I've struck it rich!!!"

Looking at the full five chests of Yuan Crystals before him, Chen An's eyes lit up. Without standing on ceremony, he waved his right hand.

"System, recharge!"

The next moment, a pale white halo suddenly spread over the five chests of purple Yuan Crystals. They dissolved in an instant and vanished into nothingness.

Chen An did not check the system balance. Instead, he turned his gaze toward the other rare treasures, cultivation techniques and martial skills, precious pills, divine weapons, and sharp blades.

With a casual wave, he haphazardly stuffed all those items into three wooden chests. Then, after glancing into the distance, he held the three chests in one hand, leapt into the air, and transformed into a streak of silver lightning as he fled toward the outskirts of Wurong County.

Half an hour later!

Three figures carrying immense Xiantian pressure shot out of the night and landed steadily upon the roofs of tall buildings near the Bai Family estate.

Their gazes suddenly dropped toward the hundred-acre compound below, now wholly reduced to ruins. In particular, when they saw the enormous palm-print crater at the center of the main residence—one hundred zhang wide, two or three zhang deep, its ground charred black and cracked—their expressions changed drastically, and they all drew sharp breaths.

"Grandmaster!!!"

One of them, a middle-aged man in a sky-blue brocade robe, stared at the Bai Family ruins and muttered in horror.

"Greetings, County Lord!!!"

"There can be no mistake. This was at least the work of a Grandmaster Realm expert!!!"

At that moment, the man beside him, dressed in a black robe with three wisps of long beard beneath his chin and appearing to be around forty or fifty, first cupped his hands toward the middle-aged man in salute. Then he slowly spoke, brows tightly furrowed as his grave gaze swept across the wreckage. Xiantian aura faintly rose and fell around him, while his heart was filled with shock.

"A palm imprint formed in the air, suppressing a hundred li. With a single blow, the entire Bai Family residence was destroyed. The method was clean and decisive. Only the Grandmaster Realm possesses such heaven-reaching might."

"Greetings, County Lord!"

The third was an elderly man in a water-blue brocade robe, his expression stern and cold. He too first cupped his hands toward the middle-aged man in salute, then looked at the Bai Family ruins with a slight upward curl of his lips. "The Bai Family head was merely a late-stage Acquired Realm martial artist. I wonder what sort of monstrous calamity he provoked, to actually bring a Grandmaster expert personally to his door to carry out such an extermination?!"

"By the way, I heard the Bai Family is related by marriage to the County Commandant and has close ties with him!"

"Now that the Bai Family has been annihilated by a Grandmaster expert with one palm, how does County Lord intend to deal with this matter?!"

The man in the sky-blue brocade robe was none other than Zhang Xuanming, County Lord of Wurong County.

The other two were respectively Fan Suiyun, instructor of Wurong County Academy, and Zhou Tong, the elder of the Zhou Family.

The three of them were the three Xiantian Realm experts stationed in Wurong County, holding authority over the county's martial world and secular affairs.

"There is no need for Senior Zhou to concern himself with this matter. I will naturally report it upward and inform the Prefecture Lord. I certainly will not allow the culprit to remain at large." Zhang Xuanming glanced faintly at Zhou Tong, his expression indifferent and his tone carrying a hint of official authority.

"The County Lord is wise."

Hearing this, Zhou Tong smiled faintly, a trace of amusement and understanding hidden in his eyes.

He knew well that this was a Grandmaster expert, with heaven-reaching methods and an unfathomable trail.

Not to mention a mere county lord—even if the Prefecture Lord came in person, he might not investigate deeply over a trivial Bai Family.

To him, Zhang Xuanming's words were nothing more than empty formalities, deceiving himself and others.
