Xu Chuan's original home was in Fengyang County, one of the thirty-six counties of the Great Wei Dynasty.
The Xu family was considered a prominent clan in Fengyang County, having amassed considerable wealth through generations of commerce.
However, to send Xu Chuan to the Taiyi Sacred Land, his parents in this world had to exhaust their fortune and bribe the administrator of Fengyang County's post, thereby securing Xu Chuan's entry into the Taiyi Sacred Land.
Before leaving home, to ensure his parents could rise again and not live a destitute life in their later years.
Xu Chuan had given his parents the method for refining salt from the modern era, hoping they could earn more money through this skill.
What he hadn't anticipated was that this salt refining method would bring about his parents' demise.
Had he known this would happen, Xu Chuan would never have done it.
Yet, in this world, there was no medicine for regret.
Now, he could only personally slay his enemies and rescue his sister to honor his deceased parents.
The Wu family was a top-tier martial arts family in Fengyang County, always harboring great ambition.
Xu Chuan hadn't expected that the Wu family would murder his parents and abduct his sister over a salt refining method.
As for the Blazing Fire Valley, Xu Chuan had already inquired about it on his way.
The strongest cultivator in the valley was its Valley Master, who possessed the strength of the Reincarnation Realm.
In a place like Fengyang County, a Reincarnation Realm martial artist was already considered a colossal figure.
Consequently, most families in Fengyang County essentially bowed to him.
The Wu family was no exception.
...
At this moment, within the Wu family's estate, Xu Lixing and her personal maidservant Xu Tong were imprisoned in a courtyard.
Outside the door, the Wu family's Great Elder was making earnest pleas.
"Xu Lixing, don't be ungrateful. What's wrong with marrying the young master of Blazing Fire Valley? Your status will be higher than mine then!"
"When he eventually ascends to the position of Valley Master, you will be the Valley Master's wife!"
Though he spoke these words, he knew in his heart that, given the Blazing Fire Valley's young master's temperament, Xu Lixing would likely not survive long after the marriage.
However, for his own future, he cared not at all for this.
"Your Wu family deserves to die. I will kill all of you to avenge my parents!"
Xu Lixing's hateful words echoed from within the room.
Upon hearing this.
The Wu family's Great Elder outside instantly turned ashen.
"Hmph, I'd like to see how long you can hold out!"
"Kill our Wu family members, do you think you're worthy?"
"And don't even think about your useless brother. After so many years, he's still an outer disciple. He's probably long since been demoted to a handyman disciple. Such a waste!"
"Think it over carefully yourself!"
With that, he let out a cold snort, his expression extremely grim.
He had come to persuade them many times, yet these two remained obstinate.
He had already decided that if Xu Lixing still maintained her defiant stance three days later, he would personally knock her unconscious and deliver her to the Blazing Fire Valley's young master.
No matter what, he had to satisfy the young master!
Only then could his Wu family climb onto the tree of Blazing Fire Valley and become the most powerful family in Fengyang County!
Seeing no further response from within the room, he was about to depart with a flick of his sleeve.
However.
At this very moment.
A voice rang out, like a solemn heavenly pronouncement, spreading throughout the entire Divine Intent Sect.
"Who allowed you to leave?"
Immediately following.
In the distant sky, a streak of colorful clouds appeared.
Above the clouds, a beam of light, wreathed in divine radiance and emanating infinite divine might, flew directly towards the Wu family.
"What... what is that?"
The entire Wu family, from young to old, watched this scene with wide, stunned eyes.
A common martial arts family like theirs had never witnessed such a spectacle.
Under their gaze.
The beam of light rapidly approached.
Only then did they clearly see that the beam of light was a carriage pulled by an immeasurably massive tiger demon beast.
The carriage was exceptionally luxurious.
Countless runes intertwined, adorned with precious gemstones, emitting blinding divine light.
On the carriage stood a young man with a handsome face, filled with Daoist charm, exuding an otherworldly aura.
Behind him stood a middle-aged man emanating an incredibly powerful aura, and an ordinary-looking young girl.
"Who are these people? They seem to be heading for our Wu family!"
"Such terrifying auras, just a glance makes me want to kneel and worship!"
"Who is this important figure, and why are they coming to our Wu family?"
Within the Wu family, everyone was utterly shocked, murmuring amongst themselves.
Indeed, these individuals and the carriage were incredibly awe-inspiring.
They felt no trace of a desire to resist.
Meanwhile, the Wu family's Great Elder's face contorted in extreme shock.
When Xu Chuan was young, he had met him once. The appearance of this youth bore a seven-tenths resemblance to the Xu Chuan in his memory.
Combined with the preceding words!
A guess suddenly formed in his mind.
"You... you are Xu Lixing's brother, Xu Chuan!?"
He asked with a trembling voice, his words filled with disbelief.
Simultaneously, a feeling of dread surged into his heart.
Because just moments ago, he had been pressuring Xu Lixing to marry the Valley Master of Blazing Fire Valley.
If the person before him was truly Xu Chuan, he had no idea how the latter would deal with him!
"Oh? You recognize me?"
Xu Chuan raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected this Wu family Great Elder to recognize him.
"Weren't you just an outer disciple of the Taiyi Sacred Land? How could you..."
The Wu family's Great Elder trembled, large beads of sweat trickling down his forehead.
He didn't finish his sentence, as he simply couldn't reconcile the youth before him with an outer disciple of the Taiyi Sacred Land.
"You mean, how could I be so powerful, right?"
Xu Chuan chuckled softly, finishing his unsaid words.
"Who told you I could only be an outer disciple?"
"You killed my parents, bullied my sister. Your Wu family deserves to die!"
Xu Chuan's smile vanished. Overwhelming killing intent erupted from his body. As if picking up a chick, he reached out, grabbed the elder by the neck, and lifted him.
The Wu family's Great Elder, who was at the fifth level of the Nirvana Realm, was utterly powerless in his hands.
The surrounding Wu family members watched this scene with horror.
But not a single one dared to step forward and intervene.
They could only watch as the Great Elder hung suspended in mid-air.
"Spare... spare my life!"
Grasped by the neck, the Great Elder's face turned red, struggling to breathe. He could only force these words out from between his teeth.
"Heh, spare you? Do you think you're worthy?"
Xu Chuan said calmly.
"Today, not a single person in your Wu family will leave here alive!"
With that, Xu Chuan gave him no further opportunity to speak.
With a crack.
Xu Chuan easily snapped the neck of the Wu family's Great Elder.
As he loosened his grip, the Great Elder's corpse slowly fell to the ground.
Then, with a wave of his hand, the Sun True Fire appeared, incinerating the corpse completely.
A gust of wind scattered the ashes, and they vanished with the wind.
This scene stunned everyone in the Wu family.
They had never imagined that the Great Elder, who had allied with Blazing Fire Valley, would die so easily.
Not even his corpse remained.
Then, recalling Xu Chuan's final words, the entire Wu family descended into chaos.
Clan members scattered in all directions, attempting to flee.
However.
Xu Chuan had already set up an array, encompassing the entire Wu family estate, making it impossible for anyone to escape!
"All of you, accompany me to the underworld!"
A torrent of rage erupted. Xu Chuan soared into the sky, drew his God Slaying Saber, and slashed down.
Instantly.
The entire Wu family, except for the courtyard where Xu Xingli and Xu Tong were held, was destroyed by this single saber strike.
The Wu family members within perished in an instant, turning into dust and smoke!
From that day forth, the Wu family of Fengyang County became a thing of the past!
