4: Chapter 4: If my brother is in trouble, the entire Zhen Tian Palace must die!

On the other side.

Qin Xiyue and the other person quickly reached the depths of the passage.

Here, dozens of Cultivators stood with solemn expressions, waiting in full battle array.

"Two lords!"

"This humble one is Li Yuan, a deacon of the Imperial Alliance's Heaven Suppressing Hall."

The leading middle-aged male Cultivator bowed forward, paying his respects to Qin Xiyue and the Grand Elder.

"May I ask what business brings you two lords here, and why you are so enraged?"

After speaking, he lowered his head and waited for a response, his gaze stealing a glance at Qin Xiyue.

He saw flames surging all around her, faintly manifesting into the phantom image of a Phoenix.

That scorching aura made his throat feel dry.

Unknowingly, fine beads of sweat had already seeped from his forehead.

Li Yuan swallowed hard, not daring to lift his head.

He was terrified that even a single unnecessary movement would provoke these two great figures before him.

Having served in Heaven Suppressing Hall for many years, he had naturally heard the legends of the former.

Qin Xiyue was born accompanied by heavenly and earthly phenomena.

Her Physique was the Nine Heavens Flaming Phoenix Physique, ranked in the top ten across the myriad worlds.

At the age of ten, she had charged into a Forbidden Life Zone alone.

She actually used the power of a young Flaming Phoenix to turn the forbidden zone upside down.

Afterward.

She took the Flame Emperor of the Southern Sky Domain as her master, excavating her potential to the extreme.

Since then, her strength had improved by leaps and bounds, and her Flaming Phoenix Physique soon reached Major Achievement.

At only nineteen years old, her cultivation had already reached the Peak of the Saint Realm!

It could be said that Qin Xiyue's achievements were enough to rival legends.

She was a standout among the younger generation of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

And the Qin Family Grand Elder before him was even more unfathomable.

Though he looked kind and gentle with no fluctuations of Spiritual Qi around him.

The moment Li Yuan shifted his gaze onto him.

An invisible pressure instantly descended!

It immediately made his knees go weak, nearly forcing him to kneel on the spot.

"Get lost!"

Qin Xiyue's gaze was icy, and a monstrous killing intent instantly enveloped everyone.

"This is bad!"

Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat, sensing that things were taking a turn for the worse.

"Lo... Lord..."

But just as he opened his mouth to explain.

A female Cultivator suddenly took a step forward and cut him off, saying,

"You, Young Miss!"

"My name is Li Qinger!"

"Although I don't know who you are or why you are so overbearing."

"But I must tell you that the Imperial Alliance has clear regulations: no one is allowed to cross the boundary as they please."

"..."

"Holy shit!"

"You stupid thing, if you want to die, don't fucking take me with you!"

Li Yuan's scalp tingled, a thousand curses running through his mind.

But before he could step forward to cover Li Qinger's mouth, something even more explosive came,

"I know that even if we combined the strength of everyone present, we might not be a match for you."

"But even so, that is no reason for you to be so arrogant and want to cross the boundary at will!"

"Now, you must apologize to Deacon Li and to us..."

Before Li Qinger could finish her sentence.

Suddenly.

Qin Xiyue moved; her gaze was like lightning, and a flash of fire swept across the woman's neck.

Splurt!

Caught off guard, Li Qinger's head was sliced clean off, her eyes wide open.

Thump, thump, thump!

The sound of the head rolling was like a death knell, echoing in everyone's hearts.

Bang!

Immediately after.

Li Qinger's headless body collapsed into a pool of blood with a thud.

Blood continuously sprayed from the bowl-sized wound at her neck.

The limbs of the corpse twitched a few times before becoming completely still.

The entire scene was suffocating!

It's over!

The sky has fallen!

Looking at the head that had rolled to his feet.

Li Yuan was so terrified that he immediately collapsed to the ground, kowtowing repeatedly,

"Two lords, please spare my life!"

"She was a newcomer and didn't know the rules!"

"It's all this humble one's fault for offending you two lords."

"I will make way for you two lords immediately, right now."

As he spoke, Li Yuan immediately led his subordinates to kneel to the side.

No one dared to even breathe loudly.

Fearing they might provoke this god of slaughter, Qin Xiyue, again.

"Hmph!"

"Foolish thing that doesn't know the value of life!"

Qin Xiyue's face was cold as she left behind these chilling words:

"Go back and tell your Hall Master to wash her neck and wait."

"If anything happens to my brother, every one of you in Heaven Suppressing Hall will die!"

After saying that, Qin Xiyue and the Grand Elder headed toward the Desolate Domain.

Long after the two had left, Li Yuan and the others finally regained their senses.

"Lord Deacon!"

A minor leader plucked up his courage, approached Li Yuan, and said,

"She just killed one of our people. Are we just going to let her walk away so brazenly?"

Hearing this, Li Yuan gave him an annoyed glare:

"Are you teaching me how to do my job?"

"For a monthly salary of three thousand Spirit Stones, why the hell are you risking your life?"

"If I hadn't been flexible just now, all of us would have been finished here today!"

The minor leader nodded repeatedly after being scolded, but he still didn't give up and continued to ask:

"But, Lord Deacon."

"She crossed the boundary so casually. If the higher-ups find out, we'll probably have hell to pay!"

"Lord, how about I report this to the Hall right now and request reinforcements?!"

Slap!

Li Yuan instantly flew into a rage upon hearing this, raising his hand and slapping the minor leader:

"Shut up, you greenhorn!"

"If we provoke that auntie into coming back, even if we died ten thousand times, it wouldn't be enough to satisfy her!"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and Li Yuan gave the minor leader another fierce kick:

"Use that brain of yours to think. Whether it's the Qin Family or the Imperial Alliance, we can't afford to offend either!"

"Besides, have you ever wondered why the higher-ups only sent small fry like us to block them?"

"The water here is too deep..."

After being beaten, the minor leader's gaze became much clearer:

"Lord Deacon!"

"So what you mean is, we're just cannon fodder?"

"Doesn't that mean we're dead meat?!"

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed wildly, and they slumped to the ground in terror.

They knew the methods of the higher-ups all too well.

If they were to be sanctioned, not even a speck of dust would remain.

Li Yuan was also shaken, his scalp tingling:

"This whole thing is very fishy."

"Li Qinger must have been bewitched by someone else."

Otherwise, where would she get such courage?"

"If something happens to that young master of the Qin Family, their goal is achieved!"

"Even if nothing happens, if I had antagonized that god of slaughter just now and caused the Qin Family to wipe out Heaven Suppressing Hall..."

"That might be exactly what some people want to see!"

The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became.

Li Yuan's pupils contracted violently, and he felt his hair stand on end.

"Damn it!"

"We've been set up!"
