569: Kill the head of the Li family in person

Li Family Residence, Family Head's Courtyard, Inner Courtyard Main Hall.

Zhou Luo stood at the doorway, his expression calm, effortlessly defusing the other party's imposing Aura.

Inside, Real Person Jingming looked at him with a suspicious expression, completely unaware of what had happened.

"Do you have a Spiritual Artifact on you?"

He finally couldn't help but ask in a deep voice.

In his opinion, Zhou Luo had just broken through and couldn't possibly withstand his pressure.

After all, he was also at the Golden Core Middle Stage, which was not something the other party could contend with.

At this moment, Real Person Jingming was still blindly confident.

What he didn't know was that although Zhou Luo had just stepped into the Golden Core Realm.

But because he possessed a Top Grade Golden Core, the density of his magic power far surpassed that of Real Person Jingming, who had only condensed a Low Grade Golden Core.

This was also something Zhou Luo had just discovered.

In reality, Golden Core True Persons were not significantly different from each other.

The reason there were the early, middle, late, and Peak four small stages.

It completely depended on the density of the magic power that the opponent's Golden Core could wield.

And Zhou Luo, who possessed a Top Grade Golden Core, actually wielded magic power already comparable to the Middle Stage.

Furthermore, if he were to take a few more Third-Order Spirit Pills, the energy he could unleash would not even be weaker than the Golden Core Late Stage.

Zhou Luo hadn't tried this yet, it was just a rough guess.

At least for now, facing a Golden Core Middle Stage, he was far from needing to avoid their edge.

"Real Person Jingming, I am merely one of the Loose Cultivators, where would I get a Spiritual Artifact?" Zhou Luo stepped on Li Chun's back, watching the other party with interest.

And Li Chun, beneath his foot, was in unbearable pain after his ribs were broken.

The crucial point was that he had no ability to resist and could only whimper and groan, hoping Real Person Jingming could quickly save him.

Hearing this, Real Person Jingming's face darkened, and he said sternly, "Zhou Luo, let him go, and I can pretend this never happened."

"Otherwise, I will consider you to be provoking the Azure Origin Sect."

"Oh?" Zhou Luo let out a sound of surprise, then smiled faintly, "Isn't my Zhou Family also an affiliated Family of the Azure Origin Sect?"

"What's more, the cultivation resources I submit each year are more than twice that of the entire Li Family."

"Right now, this is at most considered our internal conflict, how can it be considered provoking an Immortal Sect?"

What he said was well-reasoned and supported, making Real Person Jingming momentarily unsure how to refute him.

After all, the matter of the Azure Origin Sect helping the Li Family was currently still in the confidential stage.

If he were to rashly reveal this matter.

If it got out, it would have a negative impact on the Sect.

Although the Azure Origin Sect was the leader of the entire Qingyuan Domain, they still had to pay attention to their reputation.

Otherwise, a damaged reputation would lower everyone's expectations of the Sect.

Once the Sect's prestige was gone, the most direct impact would be that the Sect would no longer be the preferred destination for those Immortal geniuses.

Secondly, it would also cause dissatisfaction among other affiliated forces.

After all, if you openly helped one side, how would others view it?

Everyone is working under you; if you are so biased, then we won't do it anymore.

In any case, if the Qingyuan Domain isn't good, we will move our entire families to other great domains.

Don't look down on these Longevity Families with only one or two Foundation Establishment cultivators; if a large number of talents were to leave and all head to other great domains.

The Azure Origin Sect would face a situation where there was no one to recruit, and many resources within the domain would also severely lack manpower to manage.

Rather than doing things themselves, they preferred to reap the benefits.

Especially with the Crimson Light Sect, their sworn enemy, watching.

Once all their own people defected to the Crimson Light Sect, it would undoubtedly be a double blow.

In fact, the Crimson Light Sect thought the same way regarding the matter of targeting the Bai Family.

If they openly intervened, that would truly discourage other forces in the domain.

So, on matters like this, the Azure Origin Sect must not help either side, at most coming out to mediate and prevent the situation from escalating.

After a brief thought, his eyes flickered, and he raised his voice, "I don't care about your internal conflict, but for you, a Golden Core True Person, to bully a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it is simply too unjust."

In the world of Immortals, there was an unwritten rule.

Those of the same Realm could fight and kill each other freely, but if they were of different Realms, it was not allowed to bully the weak with strength or slaughter those of lower Realms.

This was also to ensure that Immortals could grow safely.

Of course, this rule was actually not followed by many people at all.

After all, if I am stronger than you, can I still not kill you?

Where does that logic come from?

However, for now, on the surface, Real Person Jingming brought up this rule.

If Zhou Luo insisted on taking action, it would be a violation of justice, and the Azure Origin Sect would have a reason to punish him.

This was equivalent to a reason for him to attack Zhou Luo.

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Luo suddenly lifted his right foot.

Seeing this, Real Person Jingming's mouth curled up, thinking that opposing the Azure Origin Sect was simply like a praying mantis trying to stop a chariot.

But just as he was sneering.

Zhou Luo suddenly stomped down heavily.

Real Person Jingming's smile froze; he had just wanted to stop him, but it was already too late.

Boom—

Zhou Luo's stomp was powerful and heavy; under the enhancement of magic power, his entire leg glowed with a faint spiritual radiance, carrying terrifying might as it slammed down.

Li Chun, who was still whimpering and groaning, had no idea what was about to happen.

He only heard a cracking sound, and then a piercing, tearing pain surged into his heart.

"Ah!"

He raised his head and let out a miserable cry, then his vitality seemed to be completely drained away, his head weakly hit the ground, and there was no longer any breath.

Stomped a Foundation Establishment cultivator to death with one foot.

Zhou Luo used an incredibly domineering and powerful stance to prove his attitude to Real Person Jingming.

"Oh dear, it seems I used a bit too much force."

Seeing the Li Family Head whose vitality had vanished, Zhou Luo feigned surprise.

"You..."

Real Person Jingming watched the Li Family Head die in the other party's hands, becoming so enraged that he couldn't even speak.

His eyes widened in anger as he stared intently at the other party.

Zhou Luo, on the other hand, directly stepped over the body and walked into the main hall.

He completely ignored the other party's gaze and calmly sat down on a large chair nearby.

"They've already climbed onto my head, Real Person Jingming, shouldn't I retaliate?" Zhou Luo looked at him quietly and asked casually.

At this moment, Real Person Jingming, burning with rage, wished he could tear the other party into pieces. He gritted his teeth and said, "Zhou Luo, you are truly audacious! How dare you kill the Li Family Head right in front of me?"

"Today, I will take you back to the Sect to face punishment."

Before his words fell, magic power suddenly surged within him, and a majestic Aura erupted with a bang.

That power came fiercely, especially since he was acting in anger. In an instant, the power of the Golden Core Middle Stage surged forth like a tide under his activation.

Throughout the entire main hall, wind howled.

Real Person Jingming extended his right hand, his palm flickering with golden light and emanating a sharp Aura, ready to grab Zhou Luo's head.

This attack was swift and fierce, and it carried terrifying might.

If it landed, Zhou Luo would either die or be severely injured.

"Hmph, such arrogance."

The other party revealed his true intentions, and Zhou Luo no longer hid. He suddenly stood up, his Golden Core releasing vast magic power that surged out along his Meridians.

His entire body was also enveloped in a brilliant golden light.
