"..."
Suppressing his anger, Kong Ting remained unmoved.
Instead, he stared intently at the old man with the sword on the bamboo chair, waiting for the other man to respond.
Their own Supreme Elder has not yet arrived.
Whether today's matter can be resolved amicably depends on this True Person of the Divine Connection Realm from Xuantian Retreat.
But the powerful Heavenly Supervision Department behind him couldn't contain themselves either, their eyes bloodshot. "Su Xue!"
"Watch your words! Do you really think the Heavenly Supervision Department has no evidence of your crimes? My father died at your hands!! I..."
The Star Sword Elder suddenly stepped down from the bamboo chair.
A surge of Sword Intent swept down upon the sky above!
He walked step by step, his imposing presence reaching the powerful Heavenly Supervision Department.
"You mean... Xue'er killed your father?"
He then turned to Kong Ting, whose brows were slightly furrowed. "Is this the evidence of the Heavenly Supervision Department's crimes? Didn't you tell me some time ago that no one below knew about this?"
Su Xue is extremely important to Xuantian Retreat, and there must be no mishaps.
Therefore, the old man had subtly inquired about it with Kong Ting some time ago, and the answer he received was that there was absolutely no problem.
In retrospect, it seems that this Manager Kong told him a little lie.
"Well..."
Kong Ting first patted the ashamed-looking expert from the Heavenly Supervision Department on the shoulder, then slowly stepped forward:
"That's not the point. The point is, you need to get your people out of here right now and never set foot here again, understand?"
"Hand this person over to me, and I'll consider it," the Star Sword Elder said calmly.
"Impossible."
I'll give you ten breaths to think it over.
Under Su Xue's mocking gaze, the Star Sword Elder remained indifferent and slowly said, "Ten breaths later, you will bear the consequences... ten."
Just as he finished speaking...
A sudden golden light flashed and appeared from the horizon in the east.
Like an earthly deity controlling the dawn and dusk, the dazzling golden light swept across the land, freezing the shattered white clouds in mid-air. Each wisp was pierced by the golden light, refracting into countless sharp, angular rainbows!
The golden light's trajectory wasn't a perfectly straight line; its incredible speed caused the White-robed Youth's figure to fold into countless overlapping afterimages.
The first afterimage was still tearing through the clouds atop a mountain thousands of miles away, while the last one had already arrived above the Blue Jade Mountain Range!
Boom!!!
The ground trembled, and it took a fraction of a second to catch up with his speed!
As the Star Sword Elder widened his eyes, the golden light had already reached his face!
A golden meteor streaked across the sky!
In that instant, the old man's pupils, imbued with Sword Intent, suddenly contracted. What they reflected was not a human figure, but a beam of golden fire that scorched the sky, leaving a striking mark. All the dust and Sea of Clouds in its path were swept up, and countless horrified and astonished gazes rushed towards him.
The scattered ashes suddenly swirled back, like fragments pulled back by an invisible hand, piecing together a phantom sun behind the newcomer!
That's too fast! That speed is absolutely incredible!!
"You..."
The sonic boom swallowed up the Star Sword Elder's subsequent horrified words.
Boom!!
Ye Li's stance was terrifying. A huge amount of kinetic energy burst out from his fair fist. The Star Sword Elder had no chance to fight back. The sword in his arms and most of his body were instantly shattered!
A fierce storm swept across the entire world in the blink of an eye!!
The strong winds violently pounded against the towering mountain walls, crushing the hard precious ore inch by inch.
Even with the suppression of the Laws of the Taiqing Ancestral Star, a shockwave visible to the naked eye completely flattened the mountains in this area, stretching for thousands of miles!
[Publicly killed the Star Sword Elder of Xuantian Retreat, Divine Connection Realm expert! Malice Points +!]
[Publicly killed...]
The terrifying roar rendered all living things in the vicinity deaf, and the earth trembled violently!
Ye Li's clothes billowed in anger as he turned around again.
Looking at the green-skirted girl who had narrowly escaped being dragged in not far away, he casually said:
"Su Xue, right? Your family is gone."
Being unfamiliar with the area, cleaning up Xuantian Retreat took some time.
Fortunately, a spirit arrived in advance to take his place, so he wasn't too late.
Su Xue slumped to the ground, her body weak, staring at the scene before her, her voice trembling:
"Grandpa, Grandpa..."
That seemingly invincible Grandpa Star Sword was instantly and utterly killed without any chance to fight back!!
She stared intently at the other person's flawless face, a terror she had never felt before welling up inside her, almost overwhelming her reason!
Who on earth is this person?!
And what do you mean by "my home is gone"...?
Snap!
Before Su Xue could regain her senses, the Master of Purple Cloud Cave, who was following behind Ye Li, threw a bloody head directly in front of her.
Judging from his face, it was indeed her father!
"Father!!"
A heart-wrenching scream erupted from Su Xue's mouth, "Who are you?!"
How so?
How could this be?! My father usually meditates in the Xuantian Retreat, how could this person have taken his head?!
No wonder they said their home was gone... the other side probably wiped out even the Xuantian Retreat!
This is a nightmare!!
Why would such a terrifying being descend upon me in such a manner?!
[Detected that the Dao Heart Su Xue, the young master of the Xuantian Retreat at the second level of the Sun Moon Realm, has collapsed! Malice Points +2000!]
A sigh of utter disappointment echoed in the air.
Su Xue's body convulsed with fear. The White-robed Youth in her sight sighed, and an overwhelming pressure, as heavy as a mountain pressing down, suddenly crushed her body!
Amidst the piercing, abruptly stopped screams.
A system notification sounded in Ye Li's ear.
[Publicly killed Su Xue, the young master of the Xuantian Retreat, who was at the second level of the Sun Moon Realm! Malice Points +2500!]
The group of powerful figures from the Qingping Prefecture's Heavenly Supervision Department were speechless with shock at the scene of such rapid impact before them.
My mind went completely blank.
"Elder Ye, with such a commotion, that Griffon Great Demon should have noticed your arrival."
At this moment, True Fire Elder, looking tense, hurriedly flew in from the horizon.
He was dressed in a sky-blue robe with the words "Eastern Continent" embroidered in gold on the back, and should have been an incomparably dignified Supreme Elder.
At this moment, however, he was accompanied by the dazed-looking Prefect of Liuyun County, along with many skilled Heavenly Supervision Department, who followed closely like servants, barely daring to breathe loudly as they spoke.
There's no other reason than it's absolutely terrifying!
In just two days, Elder Ye visited eight major prefectures in the Eastern Continent, and even those Divine Connection Realm True Person who had sensed the danger and tried to escape were all wiped out!
He's a born killer!
At this moment, in their field of vision, a mountain range covered in rubble stood silently.
Thanks to that punch earlier.
Even a powerful expert at the Sun Moon Realm could see a striking blue light rising from a distant mountain peak, no matter how hard they strained their eyes.
That's a sight that only appears when mineral resources are abundant to a certain extent; it's also the location of the [palace] meticulously crafted by that Griffon Great Demon.
"I roughly understand the situation. A Griffon Great Demon at the sixth level of the Divine Connection Realm... and besides that—"
Ye Li paused briefly, raised his eyes to look at the undisguised, soaring demonic aura in the mountains ahead, and calmly asked:
"Is there anything else you'd like to add?"
"This..."
The Prefectural Magistrate of Liuyun County quickly pulled the Manager of Qingping Prefecture in front of him, who immediately bowed and replied:
"Reporting to the Elder, this Griffon Great Demon is most likely to have some dealings with the Celestial Horse Demon Race outside the Eastern Continent!"
"Pegasus?" Ye Li glanced sideways at True Fire Elder beside him.
He didn't stay in the Eastern Continent for long; he even needed to consult files to find out about the top-tier forces he had just wiped out two days ago.
They knew even less about the external Demon Race beyond the borders of the Eastern Continent.
"Exactly!"
The Manager of Qingping Prefecture, thinking Ye Li didn't believe him, quickly added, "I dare to guarantee it with my life! I witnessed it using techniques personally taught by the Celestial Horse Demon Race Clan; otherwise, its Law of Divine Wind wouldn't be that powerful!!"
True Fire Elder swallowed hard and transmitted his thoughts to Ye Li using his Divine Consciousness:
"The Celestial Horse Demon Race is one of the four major foreign races outside the Eastern Continent. It's normal that you don't know this since you're new here."
"I see."
Ye Li nodded slightly, seemingly unconcerned. "Don't worry, it'll be gone in a second."
This Griffon Great Demon is the last Divine Connection Realm being that can be killed within the Eastern Continent.
The sooner we resolve this, the sooner we can set off for Central Continent.
With that thought in mind, he leaped into the air.
Amidst a multitude of bewildered and awe-inspiring gazes, Ye Li instantly approached the mountain peak.
Under the terrifying aura, a huge griffin, several hundred feet long, hurriedly soared into the sky. It had barely appeared when it was pierced through the body by a giant Divine Spear that fell from the sky!
