Blood Debt Repaid in Blood

Cui Xueyong's grandfather is in seclusion attempting to break through to the Foundation Establishment; he will not emerge unless absolutely necessary.

Because if one leaves seclusion at will, not only will all the cultivation gains made during the period of seclusion be lost, but it may also cause damage to one's physical body.

Cui Xueyong's grandfather has been in seclusion for over a decade, and he will not emerge unless the Cui Household faces a life-or-death crisis.

Tang Tianzi and her brother certainly understood this.

Tang Tianzi and her brother came to Iron Bridge Village at this time, partly because they were extremely grieved and wanted to avenge Tang Tiansong.

Secondly, coming to Iron Bridge Village now might catch the Ye Household off guard.

Thirdly, Tang Tianzi did indeed possess weapons capable of fighting.

Reckless charging is suicide.

Now that they have Cui Xueyong's life-saving jade pendant, their chances of winning are much greater. The Tang Household siblings certainly can't delay any longer; they just want to kill the enemy and take revenge as soon as possible...

At this moment, Ye Hailiang had already woken up in the main hall of the Ye Household Lineage.

Looking at Tang Tiansong's corpse lying on the ground, Ye Hailiang bowed to the mustachioed monk and said, "Immortal Master, if you don't cut off Tang Tiansong's head, you can just throw it to the Tang Household when you get there."

They'll be terrified and surrender immediately.

A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the mustachioed monk. "No."

Tang Tiansong was, after all, a Qi Refinement cultivator. He died a heroic death and deserves to be treated with dignity.

Go prepare a coffin and properly bury Tang Tiansong's body.

"This..." Ye Hailiang hesitated for a moment.

"Fellow Daoists, thank you for giving my elder brother the last bit of dignity, but please give me your lives!" Tang Tiandong roared and flew into the main hall.

"Hehe, you must be Tang Tiansong, Tang Tiandong's fourth brother."

You two mere cultivators at the Qi Meridian Opening Stage, you dared to deliver yourselves to our doorstep before we even had a chance to find you.

The Tang Household did indeed have some courage.

"But I'm going to chop off your head now to avenge my right hand." The goatee-bearded monk glanced at his severed arm and flew straight at him with his sword.

Tang Tianzi immediately stood in front of Tang Tiandong, intending to activate the Movement Method array given by Cui Xueyong. However, seeing the black talisman on the goatee cultivator's left hand, he raised the corner of his mouth, raised a Golden Light Shield, and threw out a talisman.

Upon seeing the talisman flying towards him, the goatee-bearded monk immediately stopped and began to make hand seals, attempting to summon Golden Light Shield to protect himself.

Tang Tianzi held a sword horizontally in his right hand and Hand Seals with his left. "Destroy the Great Luo above, destroy the demons below."

[Purple Lightning Talisman], Annihilate!

As Tang Tianzi finished reciting the Mnemonic, the talisman that was gradually flying closer to the ram-horned bearded cultivator emitted specks of purple light.

"Oh no! This is Purple Lightning Explosion Talisman! Junior Brother, quickly activate your protective shield!" The man with the mustache looked astonished. "Judging from the immense spiritual power contained in this Purple Lightning Talisman, it cannot be forged by anyone other than Foundation Establishment cultivator."

Could it be that the Tang Household has Foundation Establishment cultivator protecting them, who gave them this rare Purple Lightning Talisman?

The five elements of heaven and earth—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—are mutually generating and mutually restraining.

This lightning, born of the Five Elements, surpasses the Five Elements.

A common saying goes: In martial arts, speed is the only way to break through defenses.

And this lightning, with its incredible speed, is something even cultivators must be wary of.

Even if a cultivator achieves the [Heavenly Gate], [Golden Core], [Nascent Soul], or [Spirit Transformation], they will still have to face the Great Dao's [Heavenly Tribulation].

What is a [Heavenly Tribulation]?

Such a terrifyingly large lightning bolt!

No matter what kind of cultivator they are, encountering a cultivator with Thunder Spirit Root, or those using lightning-attribute Cultivation Method or talismans, is quite a headache.

The ten [Purple Lightning Talisman] were purchased by Tang Yuan from the Holy Cardamom Sect at a high price.

Seeing the talisman crackling with terrifying purple lightning about to fly right in front of him, the man with the goatee cried out miserably, "I don't know why, but I can't gather Spiritual Qi, I can't summon my protective aura..."

Boom!

Before the goatee-bearded monk could finish speaking, the Purple Lightning Talisman exploded!

A flash of white light, and the air was filled with the smell of burning flesh.

"You...

You've gone too far!

"We at least left your eldest brother with a complete corpse, but you actually blew my second senior brother to smithereens!" The green-faced cultivator was filled with a mixture of fear and indignation: Although he could summon a protective shield, the Golden Light Shield he summoned was obviously very weak.

"Senior brother, for some reason, my cultivation seems to have weakened considerably." The blue-faced cultivator looked at the mustachioed cultivator with a puzzled expression.

"It's good that your cultivation level has dropped. This is because you harmed my elder brother. It's Curse from Heavenly Dao on you!" Tang Tianzi had barely finished speaking when he threw out another Purple Lightning Talisman.

"Senior brother, save me..."

Boom!

Before Qingmian could finish speaking, he was blasted into dust by the Purple Lightning Talisman.

"I understand now. The black flames that erupted from Tang Tiansong's body when he was dying did not damage his weapons or his physical body, but they could suppress his cultivation, preventing him from gathering a large amount of spiritual power."

It's just unclear whether this suppression of cultivation is temporary or permanent.

Never mind it, I just hope it's just a temporary suppression of my cultivation.

"I need to stall for time as much as possible." The mustachioed monk thought to himself, trying to keep his voice steady. "It was my fellow disciples who were careless and fell into the trap of your Tang Household."

"That Purple Lightning Talisman is indeed powerful, but I imagine you don't have one anymore."

Tang Tianzi sneered and took out ten Purple Lightning Talisman. "My family has hundreds more Purple Lightning Talisman of this power."

When the man with the mustache saw the ten Purple Lightning Talisman in Tang Tianzi's hand, he broke out in a cold sweat: such powerful Purple Lightning Talisman, even Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn't just casually distribute them to people.

"My elder brother also brought two Purple Lightning Talisman, but he didn't use them. He wanted to catch us off guard." Tang Tianzi glanced at Tang Tiansong on the ground with hazy eyes.

Tang Tiansong died, but he had a smile on his face.

He didn't use the Purple Lightning Talisman so that Tang Tianzi could strike unexpectedly.

He used the black flames of [Burning Life, Dream Unfinished] to burn the enemy in order to suppress the enemy's cultivation and increase Tang Tianzi's chances of winning.

If their cultivation levels hadn't been suppressed and they hadn't been caught off guard, the two cultivators at the Qi Refining Second Layer wouldn't have been blasted to smithereens by the Purple Lightning Talisman; they would have only suffered severe injuries.

"Fellow Tang Household, this is all a misunderstanding."

"If you release me today, I will repay you tenfold in the future." The man with the mustache bowed respectfully.

"Hmph..." Tang Tianzi didn't believe the mustache-wearing monk's words at all.

"I'm asking you, why did you harm my older brother?"

What sect do you come from?

Also, there were four people who harmed my older brother. Who is the fourth person, and where is he?

If you answer truthfully, I might let you die a little easier, leaving you with a whole corpse.

What? They even know that the four of us at the Qi Refinement killed Tang Tiansong.

Could it be that the Tang Household has clairvoyance?

With a mustache, he cupped his hands and said, "Our journey here is for the great fortuitous opportunity that will soon descend upon the northern Gazing Dragon Lake, where the Tang Household resides."

We harmed Brother Gui in order to clear obstacles ahead of time.

As for which sect we belong to, and who the other person who harms Brother Gui is...

I can't say.

If I tell, I'll suffer a fate worse than death.

My sect is an existence you cannot afford to offend. Even the largest sect in Central Province, Azure Origin Sect, has to be wary of my sect.

Tang Tianzi nodded. "Then you can go die."

After saying that, Tang Tianzi threw out two Purple Lightning Talisman, which directly blasted the mustachioed cultivator into nothingness.

There was no other way; Tang Tianzi understood that, regardless of whether one was righteous or evil, the loyalty of ordinary cultivators was generally guaranteed.

Most monks need to keep their sect's secrets, and even if you kill him, he won't tell.

Furthermore, the effect of Tang Tiansong using the black flames generated by [Burning Life, Dream Unfinished] to suppress his cultivation was indeed time-limited...

... thump!

Upon being awakened, Ye Hailiang knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Two immortal masters of the Tang Household, you harmed your brother. I was also coerced."

However, I truly know nothing about the four cultivators who harmed your brother.

I'll agree to any conditions as long as you don't kill me.

I'd even make my Ye Household enslaved for life...

Tang Tiandong snorted coldly, "A blood debt can only be repaid in blood."

"If we don't teach the Ye Household a good lesson, how will my Tang Household ever be able to Gazing Dragon Lake again?"
