242: Get rid of evil!

This time, Xiao Miao used his most powerful martial skill.

The fourth star, a Di-tier martial skill — Nine Heavens Profound Thunder Break!

This move was the most powerful, made the biggest commotion, and was most suitable for this moment.

By using this move, the people outside would definitely discover the situation here.

At the entrance, his people were right there!

However, it was not as Xiao Miao had expected.

This strike landed, but it was like a stone sinking into the ocean, not even a small ripple was stirred.

Seeing that the attack hit the cultivation room without any reaction, Xiao Miao wanted to curse.

Who built this cultivation room so sturdy for?

Ah!

He remembered that the sturdiness of the cultivation rooms, especially the second-class ones, wasn't this high.

Even if it was incredibly hard, it shouldn't have made no sound at all after being hit, right?

At least, at least there should have been a sound!

Since things had come to this, further resistance was useless. So, Xiao Miao simply calmed down and said, "Your Excellency, what are your conditions? Whatever my Xiao Clan possesses, you may ask for it."

Another flash of lightning lit up, and the figure standing at the entrance suddenly vanished.

Suddenly, Xiao Miao lost the opponent's position.

From the moment this person suddenly appeared, Xiao Miao had tried to sense him.

He wanted to see the opponent's strength, his aura, and if there was still a chance.

As a result, the opponent was right in front of him, but what he felt was as if the opponent didn't exist at all.

This situation could only mean two things: either the opponent's strength far surpassed his own, or there was some secret treasure concealing him.

But he, Xiao Miao, as the son of the Xiao Clan's patriarch, one of the Eight Clans and the strongest clan...

He had never heard of a secret treasure powerful to such an extent.

And now, the opponent had hidden again, and he had completely lost track of him.

At this moment, Xiao Miao's heart sank to rock bottom.

Xiao Miao couldn't even sit idly by, so he tentatively took a step forward, feeling his way.

As he stepped out, a figure emerged from behind him.

A faint glint of blood-red light flickered in the eyes of the figure behind Xiao Miao.

...

Xiao Miao slowly walked out of the cultivation room with a gentle expression.

The cultivation room inside was still the same as when Xiao Miao had entered, as if nothing had happened inside.

The guards waiting outside saw Xiao Miao emerge.

The leader quickly led his subordinates in a respectful bow to Xiao Miao, saying, "Greetings, Young Master! Welcome, Young Master, out of seclusion!"

The current Xiao Miao was, of course, Chen De.

Chen De glanced at them and nodded.

Xiao Miao, as the son of the Xiao Clan's patriarch, currently only possessed the strength of the Heaven Profound Realm.

Such strength was still too weak.

Not to mention the other seven clans, even among other forces outside, there were many who could eliminate him.

If Xiao Miao didn't have guards by his side, under the sway of greed, there would be no shortage of people with ideas.

This guard was arranged for him by Xiao Miao's father, a Zhou Tian Realm Eighth-stage expert.

Of course, most of the time, Xiao Miao would handle matters using his own strength.

He almost never actively asked this Zhou Tian Realm protector to act.

These guards were also selected from within the Xiao Clan to be trained as trusted aides.

Only these people could they truly trust.

Soon, upon hearing that Xiao Miao had emerged from seclusion so quickly, the guardian of this Tian Xiao City hastily rushed over with his men from afar.

He was different from these guards; the entire Tian Xiao City was under his management.

Everything in Tian Xiao City had to follow his command, and he didn't have time to wait here for Xiao Miao to finish his cultivation.

What if Xiao Miao had an epiphany inside, gained some insights, and cultivated for several years? What would he do then?

Moreover, according to his understanding of this Young Master, if he truly waited here, the Young Master would instead be angry.

Conversely, if he was always diligent, so much so that he didn't even have time to welcome him out of seclusion, the Young Master might even praise him.

Chen De stood before these people. This was the taste of power!

Chen De didn't believe that these people had no selfish motives.

But precisely because of Xiao Miao's status, they would actively accommodate and cater to Xiao Miao.

They would even transform themselves into Xiao Miao's shape.

Chen De's eyes flashed; he nodded slightly, then turned again, waved his hand, and said, "All of you, come in with me!"

Everyone was a bit puzzled. What was so important that it had to be discussed inside?

If it was an urgent matter that he didn't want others to know, yet he let everyone present go in.

If it wasn't an urgent matter, why not just say it outside?

However, he was the Young Master, so everyone followed him inside.

The last one to enter carefully closed the door.

Chen De saw this and was quite satisfied.

So perceptive, Chen De would definitely treat him well...

A moment later, everyone walked out of the secret room again.

And Chen De was the last to emerge.

After coming out, he didn't look at anyone and said in a calm voice, "Let's go, back to the clan!"

So, the group set off in a grand procession.

...

The Black-Robed Figure returned to the place where he had previously absorbed the purplish-red light beam.

Now, this place was devoid of the purplish-red light beam.

The sky had become clearer, and the spatial cracks that were everywhere had also shrunk considerably.

However, it seemed as if something was maintaining this place.

After recovering to a certain extent, it stopped changing.

The Black-Robed Figure walked leisurely ahead, reaching a massive rock.

This rock had endured millions of years of vicissitudes, especially in such an environment.

From every aspect, its extraordinary nature was evident.

Even the sheer hardness of this rock was such that not even a Piming Realm peak expert could break it.

The Black-Robed Figure gently placed his hand on it, as if feeling something, caressing something.

With a light stroke of his finger, a scratch appeared on the rock.

"Soon, soon..."

The Black-Robed Figure murmured to himself.

Today, he received good news: he sensed that the person who was his mortal enemy had died.

Actually, when he first received this news, the Black-Robed Figure was a little incredulous.

Because he knew who the opponent's Dao Protector was; that level of strength, even he couldn't suppress it.

It could be said that he was truly the number one person on the continent today.

Who could kill someone from his hands?

Suddenly, the Black-Robed Figure remembered that when he was fighting that person, his great enemy was not by his side.

Instead, he was in a very distant place, in Zhongzhou, according to his senses.

Could it be that at that time, when he was holding that person back, his mortal enemy died?

Counting carefully, it seemed like he died on that very day.

As for whether he died during their fight, he didn't know.

He was so dazed from the fight at the time that he wouldn't have known such things.

However, that fellow was merely in the Qi Sea Realm; in Zhongzhou, where experts were as numerous as clouds, he truly amounted to nothing.

Even in that Ling Xu City, he was nothing.

There, the Di Gang Realm experts who died daily were counted in tens of thousands.

A small Qi Sea Realm cultivator dying there was not strange at all.

It's just, didn't that person leave any life-saving methods?

Or was he too confident in himself and didn't bother?

The person he had painstakingly plotted to kill was just gone, which was simply unbelievable.

So, at the moment he first learned this news, the Black-Robed Figure was first stunned.

The next moment, he felt a surge of ecstasy and exhilaration.

He really wanted to see now what kind of expression that person would have when the one he had painstakingly protected died.

Then, he looked at the large rock again.

Soon, at that time, he would simply kill him along with it.
