The Young Master Was Now Invincible
"System, can this be put into the system space?"
"Yes, young master."
The next moment, the floating altar before him vanished into thin air.
"Ah, young master, you've stuffed me so full, I'm going to burst."
The system's sleazy voice rang out.
Li Xiao ignored the system's antics, tore open space, and left with the man and the dragon.
The Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Before Li Yaoyao and the other Li Lineage disciples stood a pack of pitch-black, two-headed wild wolves.
The wolves had surrounded them completely.
"Sister Yaoyao, I don't know what's going on, but since just now, the demonic beasts in the Hundred Thousand Mountains have all gone berserk, as if something provoked them."
A Li Lineage disciple looked at the bloodthirsty demonic beasts around them and spoke urgently.
Li Yaoyao looked around at the wounded Li Lineage disciples, despair on her face.
"What's going on?"
Suddenly, Li Xiao stepped out of the void with Li Dan and Long Aotian.
"Y-young master."
Seeing Li Xiao tear open space, everyone was secretly shocked.
Their young master's strength had to be at least at the Emperor Realm, right?
"Long Aotian, something's wrong with these demonic beasts. What's going on?"
Long Aotian carefully sensed the changes in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and his expression darkened.
"Boss, you dug up the dragon vein of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. The Spiritual Qi is rapidly dwindling."
Hearing this, Li Xiao understood.
That dragon vein was the foundation of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, sustaining the cultivation of all its demonic beasts. Now that he had dug it up, the beasts naturally felt uneasy.
Li Xiao rubbed his brow. If he didn't resolve this, a beast tide might break out in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and that would be troublesome.
Should I just flatten the mountains with one palm strike?
No, no. That seems a little inhumane. He was afraid some beast lovers would come looking for trouble.
Seemingly thinking of something, Li Xiao looked at Long Aotian beside him.
"Long Aotian, you're the boss here. Put some fear into them."
"All right, boss. I'll give it a try."
Long Aotian answered, and then his earthworm-sized black body rapidly expanded.
Soon, a black dragon clad in black armor appeared before everyone, utterly imposing.
"Th-this is... a dragon?"
"Dragons really exist."
Li Yaoyao and the others stared at Long Aotian, their faces pale.
"Wait, did he just call the young master boss? Did I hear that right?"
"You heard right. I heard it too."
"As expected of the young master. He's even subdued a dragon. The young master is freaking awesome."
"They say a demonic dragon guards the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Could that be him?"
Everyone looked at Li Xiao before them with admiration.
Roar!
The next moment, Long Aotian revealed his true form and circled high above the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
A dragon's roar resounded through the mountains.
Fear appeared in the eyes of the rampaging demonic beasts, and they prostrated themselves respectfully on the ground.
Seeing this, Li Xiao nodded in satisfaction.
"Long Aotian, tell them I dug up the dragon vein of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, but as compensation, I'll leave a strand of source power here."
"Though it won't be as effective as the dragon vein was, it won't be much worse. Ask them whether they're willing."
Li Xiao spoke with an indifferent expression.
"I'm not negotiating with them. Just let them know. If any refuse, wipe them all out."
Hearing this, Long Aotian's dragon body trembled, and he rattled off a stream of chatter.
Unwillingness flashed through the demonic beasts' eyes, but faced with the absolute suppression of his bloodline, they had no choice but to bow their heads.
"That's more like it. We're all good people who win others over with reason."
Li Xiao nodded in satisfaction.
Then Li Xiao turned his palm over, and a ball of light brimming with the presence of a peak Saint appeared in his hand.
Li Xiao clenched his hand, and the ball of light instantly enveloped the entire Hundred Thousand Mountains.
His source power was distributed among the demonic beasts of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
"System, stripping away my own source power won't affect me, will it?"
Li Xiao asked with some concern.
"Young master, don't worry. Your little system will replenish the power in your body at any time."
"That's good."
"Li Dan, gather everyone up. We're going home."
With that, Li Xiao strode toward the Li Lineage, and the surrounding demonic beasts respectfully cleared a path.
"Li Dan, what's the deal with that black dragon?"
"Yeah, Li Dan, what realm is the young master at now? How did he get so strong?"
"What exactly happened?"
The Li Lineage disciples had all forgotten their injuries and crowded around Li Dan like curious children, asking questions.
Li Dan looked at Li Xiao's retreating figure, respect in his eyes.
"All you need to know is that the Li Lineage is about to rise. The young master is now invincible."
