"Master, forgive me. I had no other choice."
As soon as he spoke, Shen Xiu drew a deep breath, then leaped into the air and brought his blade down heavily upon the Shen Family Elder's grave.
Crack!
A piercing sound of shattering rang out, and the grave collapsed in an instant.
"Will the Shen Family... ultimately be erased from history...?"
Shen Xiu sighed. He swiftly healed the injury on his arm, then turned and left.
At the same time Shen Xiu departed, an old man in white robe swiftly flew out from the Shen Family's valley.
His clouded eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Impossible. He was clearly only at the initial Heavenly Spirit Realm, yet he killed a Half-Saint!"
The old man in white robe was shaken to the core, unable to believe it was real.
He clearly remembered that the Shen Family had dispatched three Heavenly Spirit Realm experts that day, yet they had still returned empty-handed!
It could be said that Shen Xiu was an anomaly!
His talent and strength even surpassed Shen Yi's by a level.
This made the old man in white robe deeply wary.
However, that did not affect his judgment.
Though Shen Xiu was not weak, he was still only at the initial Heavenly Spirit Realm.
Thus, he decided to capture Shen Xiu, torture him harshly, and force out the power backing him. Perhaps then, he might gain a slim chance at survival.
With that thought, the old man in white robe set off in pursuit of Shen Xiu.
Shen Xiu was extremely fast, and he was fleeing for his life. In just a few breaths, he entered a small town.
The town was bustling with people.
Shen Xiu found an inn and sat down.
A trace of bitterness surfaced in his eyes.
