In the capital of Great Qin, six powerful figures disregarded their dignity and resorted to brute force. Dao Xuan and the others were helpless, and Great Qin had no means to resist, left to be slaughtered.
Afterwards, Huang Mang and the others left the capital and fanned out across Great Qin. Some Dragon King Hall warriors had already been hidden within the Great Qin army, but it was clear Huang Mang and the others intended to leave no one alive.
The capital was in disarray. The city guard camp was devastated. In the face of Heavenly realm experts, Great Qin's strength was like that of ants, utterly incapable of resistance.
"Damn it! To think Heavenly realm experts would resort to such despicable methods!"
Dao Xuan roared, his expression filled with rage.
"Heaven, why are you so unfair to our Great Qin? Why!"
The Qin Emperor roared at the sky, his eyes bloodshot. Great Qin had endured countless hardships on its journey. It had finally unified Yan Province and brought peace to the land, but with the awakening of Heavenly realm experts, Great Qin's promising situation was once again in crisis.
The entire capital was desolate, filled with an atmosphere of misery and hatred.
"Alas, might without respect. This world truly needs to change."
Dao Xuan sighed, his gaze complex. He had thought that his and Jian Chen's arrival would make Huang Mang and the others restrain themselves, but he had not expected them to abandon all shame in their pursuit of revenge.
"I will report this matter to the Ancestor!"
Jian Chen said with a cold expression. The Ancestor he referred to was the paramount expert of Yan Province, the Tongtian Sword Master.
At the same time, above Yan Province, the six powerful figures converged.
"Li Xiaotian's relatives and a few of the Dragon King Hall leaders were not captured."
Huang Mang muttered, his tone filled with unwillingness.
"They are being protected by the Dao Sect and the Sword Pavilion, especially Li Xiaotian's wife and daughters. They are in Gu Zhi Village, and it's difficult to capture them."
The Shenzong Old Ancestor said, his expression complicated.
They could disregard Great Qin and directly arrest people, but they couldn't use force against factions like the Dao Sect and Gu Zhi Village.
"No matter what, Li Xiaotian's wife and daughters must be captured. By killing them, I will make Li Xiaotian taste the pain of losing his loved ones!"
Jin Lian said with bloodshot eyes, her entire being consumed by the desire for revenge!
"To Gu Zhi Village!"
Jin Lian declared, then flew directly westward. The others had no chance to stop her.
"Let's go and see. Even if Gu Zhi Village doesn't hand over Li Xiaotian's wife and daughters, they must give us a promise that they will not interfere in Li Xiaotian's affairs!"
The Shenzong Old Ancestor said to the group. If Gu Zhi Village interfered in Li Xiaotian's matters, it would become quite troublesome for them.
The six of them headed towards Gu Zhi Village grandly, their auras filling the heavens and earth. Wherever they passed, people were shocked.
In the west, above Gu Zhi Village, Gu Wentian and Yue E stood in the sky, looking at the six powerful figures with grim expressions.
"This is Gu Zhi Village territory, outsiders are forbidden from entering. Please stop!"
Yue E said to Huang Mang and the six, her expression icy.
"Hmph! Hand over Li Xiaotian's wife and daughters, or face war!"
Jin Lian said coldly, her tone filled with killing intent.
"Indeed, we do not wish to be enemies with Gu Zhi Village, so we ask you to hand over Li Xiaotian's wife and daughters. If you do, we will leave immediately."
Huang Mang said, and the other powerful figures stepped forward, their auras erupting.
"Sirs, do you know what you are doing? Daring to act so presumptuously here, have you considered the consequences?"
Yue E said with a cold face, a flicker of anger in her eyes.
"Silence! Who do you think you are? You are just a junior, yet you dare to act so presumptuously before us? Have your village elders come out!"
Jin Lian boomed, a hint of disdain in her eyes.
Yue E and Gu Wentian were indeed juniors in the face of Jin Lian and the other five.
"Is this the hospitality of Gu Zhi Village? The sect leaders of our various sects have come in person, yet you only send two juniors to deal with us. What is the meaning of this?"
Huang Mang and the others spoke, their expressions turning cold, their tones mocking.
Yue E's face turned red at this, her eyes filled with anger. Just as she was about to lash out, Gu Wentian stopped her.
"Aunt! Someone is bullying my Yue family!"
Yue E shot Gu Wentian a glare, then shouted towards the depths of the village.
She wasn't qualified? Fine! Then she would call out those who were!
She was a junior, it was true, but she had a patron!
"Buzz!"
Instantly, a terrifying aura erupted. The sky above Gu Zhi Village was instantly buffeted by strong winds, and a blurry figure appeared out of thin air.
Seeing this, Huang Mang and the others' expressions changed. The aura of a late-stage Heavenly realm expert!
At the same time, they knew who had arrived, and their expressions became solemn.
"Bullying my Yue family? You slut, how dare you!"
A cold snort sounded, followed by a gust of wind that brought a woman in ancient attire before Jin Lian.
"Slap!"
With a loud smack, Jin Lian was sent flying.
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
Huang Mang and the others stood frozen, unable to comprehend how the opponent had moved. But then, their expressions turned grim. The opponent had slapped Jin Lian in their presence, clearly showing no regard for them.
Behind them, a hint of satisfaction flashed across Yue E's face. She knew her aunt would definitely stand up for her.
Gu Wentian, however, let out a wry smile. The ancestor of the Yue family indeed had a fierce temper, striking out at the slightest disagreement.
Furthermore, slapping a mid-stage Heavenly realm expert was an insult more painful than killing them.
"Ahhh, you dare to hit me? You slut, how dare you hit me?!"
From a distance, Jin Lian roared, her eyes scarlet, her expression incredibly ferocious as she charged towards the woman in ancient attire.
At the same time, Huang Mang's subordinates also reacted, erupting with their auras and locking onto the opponent.
"Hmph! Still spouting venom? You're asking for it!"
Unexpectedly, the woman in ancient attire paid no attention to Huang Mang's group's reactions. She glared at Jin Lian and instantly charged forward.
"Stop! Venerable Yue, do not push your luck too far!"
Huang Mang roared as he saw this, his face filled with rage.
"Venerable Yue, this is no longer the era of the Undefeated Families. To belittle us so, have you considered the consequences?"
"Do not force us to go to war with your Gu Zhi Village!"
The Shenzong Old Ancestor and the others roared, intervening to stop Venerable Yue.
But who would have thought that at this moment, another terrifying aura erupted from Gu Zhi Village, and an old man appeared before them.
He held a saber in one hand, his long hair flowing, and his presence alone made Huang Mang and the others feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Another late-stage Heavenly realm expert!
"If you dare to attack, then let there be war! Though the Undefeated Families have declined, they are not to be provoked by any stray cats and dogs."
The saber-wielding old man said, his killing intent boiling. Although he hadn't made a move, he made Huang Mang and the others feel a terrifying sense of crisis.
This made them hesitate to act, leaving them only able to watch as Venerable Yue charged at Jin Lian.
"Slap!"
As Venerable Yue approached Jin Lian, she delivered another slap.
This time, both of Jin Lian's faces turned intensely red.
"Ahhh! You slut, you've gone too far! I will kill you!"
Jin Lian shrieked. As a mid-stage Heavenly realm expert, a being who commanded respect, when had she ever suffered such humiliation?
