Su Bai Makes His Move, Instantly Kills a Ninth-Level Qi Refining Cultivator

"Miss Lingxi slipped away yesterday. You truly had us worried."

A group of five approached, led by a middle-aged man who looked like a steward.

He strode over, his expression slightly cold. "By Young Master Baoxiao's order, we are to escort Miss safely to the Lingxiao Sect. Miss Lingxi, come with us!"

His tone was incomparably icy, leaving no room for negotiation.

"I'm not going!" Xiao Lingxi refused.

The middle-aged man gave Zhuge Feng and Su Bai an indifferent glance, ignoring them both.

"Miss Lingxi, the young master's command is as unshakable as a mountain. Your status is special. If you anger the young master, I fear it will not bode well for the Xiao Household."

At this point, he paused slightly before continuing, "The young master is True Person Tianxiao's final disciple. His talent is extraordinary, and his future prospects are boundless."

Zhuge Feng frowned upon hearing this.

These people were from the Lingxiao Sect, especially their leader, who was even a steward.

Of course, it was not the steward before him who made him frown, but the Young Master Baoxiao mentioned by the man!

Zhao Baoxiao was the disciple of Ling Xiao, the Lingxiao Sect's foremost prodigy. Though he had some talent, he was an utter wastrel.

Relying on his status as True Person Tianxiao's disciple, he usually bullied the good and harmed the innocent, terrorized the local people, and even snatched young women from the streets by force.

In short, Zhao Baoxiao was not only eccentric and violent, but also excessively lustful. He often drank virgins' blood. Put simply, he was a freak!

No woman he set his sights on had ever left alive!

Xiao Lingxi's pretty face went deathly pale, and she seemed utterly lost.

If she were sent before Zhao Baoxiao...

At the thought of that outcome, she shuddered with fear.

Perhaps this was the fate she could not escape as a member of a great family?

For the family's overall interests, some sacrifices had to be made.

She gave a bitter smile, turned, and bowed to Su Bai. "Immortal Master, sorry for the trouble. Farewell."

With that, she turned to leave, her slender waist held perfectly straight.

"My lord, how should we deal with them?"

One man stepped before the Lingxiao Sect steward, looked at Su Bai and Zhuge Feng, and asked in a low voice.

"They abducted Miss Lingxi. Kill them!" The steward's expression was grim, his eyes filled with viciousness.

Escorting Xiao Lingxi had delayed them for an extra day. Who knew how they would be punished for it!

He could not vent this anger on Xiao Lingxi, so he could only kill two ants to vent his rage!

"What are you doing? I'm already going with you, and you still want to kill people?" Xiao Lingxi cried out in shock and fury.

"Miss, there is no need to worry. We know our limits."

"Make your move!" The steward waved his hand.

The four men behind him immediately surrounded them, spiritual energy rippling from their bodies.

All four were cultivators, and their cultivation was not low. They were at the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining!

"Master, be careful!"

Zhuge Feng stood protectively before Su Bai. Even though he had only just succeeded in Qi Refining, he did not retreat a single step.

The battle was about to erupt.

Su Bai, who had remained silent the entire time, suddenly raised his head. His indifferent voice rang out. "Kneel."

The single word burst forth like thunder.

The roar was deafening.

The four Lingxiao Sect cultivators only felt an immense pressure descend upon them.

In an instant, their knees went weak, and with four thuds, they fell to their knees before Su Bai!

Their faces were filled with horror as they stared at Su Bai in utter terror.

Who was this young man? How could he possess such terrifying power?

"F-Foundation Establishment great cultivator?"

The steward's pupils suddenly contracted. A trace of panic appeared on his face as he asked in a trembling voice.

He was at the ninth level of Qi Refining. If a single shout could make his mind and spirit tremble, what else could it be but Foundation Establishment?

"Run!"

He instinctively wanted to flee, only to discover that his body could not move!

Su Bai extended one hand and seized the steward's neck from afar, slowly lifting him into the air. "On the territory of my Heavenly Dao Sect, who are you trying to kill?"

The steward dangled in midair, his face flushed red and his breathing difficult. Yet not only did he refuse to beg for mercy, he instead issued a threat.

"I am... a Lingxiao Sect... steward... Release me... otherwise..."

Slap!

Without another word, Su Bai swung a slap across his face, splitting the corner of his mouth and sending blood streaming down.

"Otherwise what?"

A vicious light flashed in the steward's eyes as he spoke resentfully.

"Otherwise, the Lingxiao Sect... will never... let you go!"

Boom!

The moment his words fell, flames erupted from his chest.

He let out a miserable scream as blazing flames instantly engulfed his entire body, reducing him to ashes that scattered through the air.

Thud!

A storage pouch dropped to the ground and was drawn into Su Bai's hand from afar.

With a sweep of his divine sense, the gleaming silver immediately dazzled his eyes.

Silver: 3,024 taels

Gold: 200 taels

The disciples' wages were no longer a concern!

Then Su Bai waved his hand, and the other four were instantly swallowed by flames as well.

These four had low cultivation and possessed no storage pouches, nor did they carry anything valuable.

Still, the steward's storage pouch was more than enough!

With one strike, he had killed a ninth-level Qi Refining immortal cultivator!

Zhuge Feng and Xiao Lingxi were both dumbstruck, their eyes brimming with profound shock and admiration.

They had guessed that Su Bai was powerful, but they had never imagined he would be this strong!

But then Zhuge Feng seemed to think of something and hurriedly said, "Master, a Lingxiao Sect steward died here. They definitely will not let this go. Should we relocate the sect?"

Su Bai shook his head. "No need."

"If they dare come, slaughter them all."

Hearing Su Bai's calm, cloud-light and wind-gentle words, the two were completely stunned.

Both of them suspected they had misheard him.

The Lingxiao Sect was one of the Immortal Alliance's top five hundred sects!

"Immortal Master, just what is your cultivation?" Xiao Lingxi could not help asking.

"Below the heavens, I am invincible. Above the heavens, I am invincible as well," Su Bai replied calmly.

"Hiss—!"

Upon hearing that, both of them sucked in a sharp breath.

The more lightly Su Bai spoke of such things, the more unfathomable they found him.

However, they soon came to terms with it.

The Heavenly Dao Sect possessed a supreme immortal art that circulated one hundred cycles in a single hour!

Even the core immortal art of Heaven Gate, ranked first among the Immortal Alliance's top five hundred, probably could not reach such a level, could it?

"What are you standing around for? Why haven't you acknowledged me as your master?"

Su Bai smiled at Xiao Lingxi and teased her.

Since he had acted, it meant that he had already acknowledged the young woman before him.

"Master above, please accept this bow from your disciple, Xiao Lingxi." Xiao Lingxi was first stunned, then a radiant smile bloomed across her face as she bowed.

This time, her expression carried respect and devotion.

"Congratulations, Master!" Zhuge Feng added.

Name: Xiao Lingxi

Age: 16

Cultivation: Mortal

Spirit Root: Superior Yin Spiritual Root, Primordial Yin Physique

Sect Loyalty: 80 (Note: Reaching one hundred loyalty unlocks a super reward)

"Primordial Yin Physique?"

Su Bai was somewhat surprised.

In this world, besides Spirit Roots, there were also different physiques.

Some powerful physiques allowed one to cultivate far faster than ordinary people and possessed all manner of strange wonders!

For example, the Battle Saint Physique possessed a peerless physical body that shook the world.

The Innate Dao Physique was close to the Great Dao, allowing cultivation to advance a thousand miles in a day.

As for the Primordial Yin Physique, if one engaged in union, it could enhance both parties' cultivation aptitude and cultivation. It was a sacred cultivation physique dreamed of by countless cultivators!

Simply put, it was the strongest dual-cultivation physique!

No wonder that so-called Young Master Baoxiao wanted Xiao Lingxi!

If one truly cultivated in dual cultivation with such a physique, even a good-for-nothing could break through their shackles in one stroke and become a peerless genius.

"Go choose an immortal art and enter Qi Refining as soon as possible." Su Bai nodded slightly.

"Thank you, Master."

Xiao Lingxi was overjoyed and hurried toward the Immortal Arts Pavilion nearby.

She had long been unable to wait to cultivate an immortal art that circulated one hundred cycles in a single hour!
