The moment Xiao Yu saw that figure, Xiao Tianci's face instinctively surfaced in her mind.

As the figure receded into the distance, his back remained perfectly straight, his confident and powerful aura naturally radiating from his body.

This figure was simply far too similar to the Xiao Tianci she remembered.

Xiao Yu instinctively tried to stand, but her body was still limp, utterly devoid of strength.

Thus, she could only watch helplessly as that figure vanished from her sight.

"It probably wasn't Xiao Tianci, right?" Only after a long while did Xiao Yu finally regain some strength and barely manage to sit up against the wall, lingering fear filling her heart.

If not for that mysterious person, she might truly have met with disaster.

Even if the Xiao Clan had eventually rescued her, she had no idea how many times Jialie Ao might have harmed her by then.

As a result, Xiao Yu became increasingly curious about that departing back.

Her mind continued to speculate without pause.

She knew Xiao Tianci's strength. When she had seen Jialie Ao at the marketplace that afternoon, Xiao Tianci had still needed her to stand up for him.

Yet that figure had looked far too much like Xiao Tianci.

A seed of suspicion was planted deep within her heart.

After dealing with the three death warriors, Xiao Tianci naturally left without the slightest hesitation.

However, he was not headed toward his own room, but toward the Jialie Clan!

What the Jialie Clan had done tonight had already touched Xiao Tianci's bottom line.

He could accept the Jialie Clan challenging him openly and fairly. If his skills were inferior, he would willingly concede defeat.

But if they wanted to play dirty, then they could not blame Xiao Tianci for showing no mercy!

"The moon is lovely tonight. Using it to mark the Jialie Clan's day of death, they should be deeply grateful."

Xiao Tianci's voice gradually faded into the wind, and his figure disappeared into the distance.

His destination was none other than the Jialie Clan!

The brightly lit hall was extravagantly decorated.

At this moment, quite a few people sat within it, drinking and making merry.

Nearly all the Jialie Clan's core members were seated there.

At the very center sat a young man in white. He lounged lazily against the back of his chair, his features rather handsome. However, the occasional lewd glint flashing through his eyes utterly ruined that appearance.

As he drank, one of his empty hands slipped beneath the clothes of the pretty maid beside him.

He acted with complete abandon, showing no restraint despite the number of people present.

Clearly, this young man possessed an extremely high status!

Beside him, Jialie Bi and the Jialie Clan's three elders sat accompanying him, constantly raising their cups in toast.

"Master Liu, with your assistance, our Jialie Clan will surely drive the Xiao Clan out completely!"

Jialie Bi's face was full of smiles. The anger he had felt several hours earlier over Jialie Ao's injury had vanished entirely, replaced by smug satisfaction.

"Mm." Master Liu lifted his cup and casually took a sip.

Yet Jialie Bi and the others showed not the slightest displeasure.

Before long, Xiao Tianci arrived within the Jialie Clan compound.

His divine sense instantly spread across most of the Jialie Clan grounds.

Xiao Tianci immediately raised an eyebrow.

Everyone had gathered together. That truly made things convenient for him.

If they had been scattered about, even killing them would have been more troublesome.

Xiao Tianci sprang into motion, his entire body rising lightly into the air.

Behind him, two guards collapsed soundlessly.

Knock!

A knocking sound came from the hall.

The maid at the side hurriedly opened the door.

Then, quite a few people instinctively looked toward the entrance.

However, when they saw the person standing there, expressions of astonishment appeared on their faces.

Jialie Ao in particular froze for a moment before quickly reacting and shouting.

"What's going on? Didn't I tell you to kill Xiao Tianci outright? Why did you bring him back?"

As he shouted, Jialie Ao seemed to have accidentally pulled at his wound, immediately drawing in a sharp breath from the pain.

Yet very quickly, the displeasure in his eyes turned into excitement.

"Bring him over to me. Perfect—I'll let him watch with his own eyes as I humiliate that bitch Xiao Yu!"

Jialie Ao actually believed that Xiao Tianci had been kidnapped and brought back by the clan experts he had sent out!

After hearing Jialie Ao's words, everyone accepted it as truth. Their expressions immediately relaxed, and they resumed drinking, ignoring Xiao Tianci at the entrance.

"Jialie Ao, Xiao Tianci is yours to deal with." Jialie Bi spoke casually, then raised his cup again to toast Master Liu beside him.

It was as though Xiao Tianci's appearance was nothing more than an insignificant interruption.

"Jialie Bi, you truly went all out. To deal with Xiao Yu and me, two juniors, you sent out six Dou Shi at once? You really have no shame at all!"

Xiao Tianci sneered at this moment.

"Today, your Jialie Clan will disappear completely from Wutan City!"

The instant those words fell, everyone's attention was drawn back to him.

Someone immediately noticed that something was wrong.

Xiao Tianci had come alone. Not only was Xiao Yu nowhere beside him, even the experts they had sent out were absent!

"Just you?" A trace of contempt immediately appeared in Jialie Bi's eyes.

He could guess that the experts he had sent out had likely met with misfortune, but he did not feel the slightest heartache.

The Jialie Clan had already gained Master Liu's assistance. Crushing the Xiao Clan was merely a matter of his whim, so losing a few experts was of little consequence.

However, Xiao Tianci's audacity in charging into the Jialie Clan alone made him feel somewhat enraged.

How could a mere worthless trash possess such courage?

"Xiao Tianci, you worthless trash only escaped by luck, yet you still dared to come to the Jialie Clan to seek death!"

The Grand Elder spoke as well, his eyes brimming with killing intent.

"Xiao Tianci, I'll crush every bone in your body and make you watch Xiao Yu suffer humiliation beneath me!"

Jialie Ao gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with disdain.

For a moment, everyone in the Jialie Clan fixed their gazes on Xiao Tianci.

However, they looked at him as though he were already dead.

"Heh, just a pack of ants."

Under everyone's gazes, Xiao Tianci showed no trace of panic. Instead, he let out a cold sneer.

Then, he flicked a finger.

A fierce streak of sword qi shot forth at high speed!

The instant they sensed that sword qi, the expressions of many Jialie Clan members changed slightly.
