135: Blood Refining Divine Army

The center of Zhengyuan Holy Domain.

A mysterious region.

A magnificent hall stood high above the clouds.

In the main seat of the hall, a figure enveloped in mist and emanating an extremely terrifying Aura sat cross-legged, currently Cultivating. With each breath, the Aura he exhaled was enough to destroy a region.

Below, a middle-aged man with a weak Aura knelt in the hall, trembling with fear.

"You can't even handle such a small matter!"

"Useless thing!"

Looking at the middle-aged man below, the figure in the main seat said coldly, his eyes filled with anger.

Boom!!!

"Bang!"

An invisible force instantly sent the middle-aged man flying.

"Pfft!"

The middle-aged man spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his already weak complexion becoming even paler. He scrambled back to his original position, still kneeling.

Although his heart was filled with fear, he dared not beg for mercy, for he deeply understood the character of the one above.

The middle-aged man was none other than the Sun Family member who had gone to the Nine Emperor Upper Domain to demand that the Head of the Xu Family come to the Sun Family to apologize. He had been taught a lesson by Wang Changfeng and suffered severe injuries.

But he dared not recuperate; instead, he simply treated his injuries and rushed back to his Family, his purpose being to play the victim in front of the figure in the main seat, hoping he would see his efforts.

"Hmph! If not for your consistent good performance and your diligent service to the Family, this one would have long since slapped you to death!"

The indifferent voice echoed in the hall. When the middle-aged man heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing he would not die.

"Thank you, Clan Chief, for your mercy!"

The middle-aged man quickly expressed his gratitude to the figure in the main seat.

"Tell me! What happened? You returned covered in injuries? Did the other Families make a move?"

The figure in the main seat asked. He hadn't considered that the middle-aged man was beaten by Xu Qing.

Because although the Xu Family had powerfully annihilated five God-Emperor Realm Dao orthodoxies, such a feat, to him, the Clan Chief of a Saint Family, was merely a small skirmish.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man dared not look at the figure in the main seat.

"Hmm?"

"Speak! Did this one not send you to the Nine Emperor Upper Domain? Why are you in such a sorry state?"

Sun Family Head's eyes turned cold!

Under the gaze of the other party, the middle-aged man instantly felt a chill run through him, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

The middle-aged man dared not hide anything.

He quickly recounted everything that had happened in the Nine Emperor Upper Domain, adding fuel to the fire.

"Good, good, good!"

"The Xu Family, an ant-like existence, dares to insult my Sun Family. They deserve to die! They deserve to die!"

The figure in the main seat let out an extremely sinister voice, and the temperature in the hall instantly dropped to freezing.

"Clan Chief, this Xu Family is strange in every aspect. Our Ancient Ancestor once said that the Quan Family used a Saint decree, but it was neutralized by the Xu Family!"

"Clan Chief, throughout the entire Zhengyuan Territory, only Saint Families and a few others can achieve this. Moreover, the Xu Family came out of the Tianguan Realm."

The middle-aged man expressed his thoughts.

"This one doesn't care what power it is! Anyone who dares to insult my Sun Family, even a Half-Saint, must pay a heavy price!"

"Pass down the order, the Xuanyang Army is to assemble. Tell Sun Xuanyang to bring that ignorant Head of the Xu Family to this one. This one will personally refine him into a living puppet!"

Sun Family Head said with a sinister voice.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man trembled slightly. Although he was somewhat excited, he still wanted to stop him.

"Clan Chief, why not let the Liu Family make the first move? If the Xu Family truly are descendants of those Families from back then, and the higher-ups blame us..." The middle-aged man said with great apprehension.

"Hmm?" Sun Family Head's eyes narrowed. "How can you be sure the Liu Family will make a move?"

"They will!" The middle-aged man nodded affirmatively. "Because Liu Yinsheng is dead!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Family Head stood up in shock.

Liu Yinsheng's Cultivation was similar to the middle-aged man's, but it was entirely propped up by Heaven And Earth Treasure, making his combat strength among the weakest in the God-Emperor Realm.

However, he had a good younger brother, who was the current Clan Chief of the Liu Family.

Sun Family Head said somewhat shocked, "The Xu Family is that fierce? They even killed Liu Yinsheng?"

But the middle-aged man below did not reply; instead, he lowered his head very low, almost touching the ground.

Seeing this, Sun Family Head immediately understood.

"You did it?"

Sun Family Head asked with some hesitation.

"This subordinate dares not hide it from the Clan Chief. Liu Yinsheng, relying on the Liu Family Head, was arrogant in his words, and his injuries were even more severe than this subordinate's, even falling into a coma at one point."

"Therefore, this subordinate..."

The middle-aged man recounted the entire incident in detail.

"Do you know that the power of a Saint is mysterious and unfathomable? They can easily detect traces of your actions!" Sun Family Head said coldly.

"Reporting to the Clan Chief, this subordinate did not directly act, but found someone else to do it, and that person was also silenced by this subordinate. There's no way it will be traced back to this subordinate!" The middle-aged man said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Sun Family Head suddenly pointed at the middle-aged man, who looked aghast.

"Spare..."

"Pfft!"

Before he could finish his sentence, a bloody hole appeared between the middle-aged man's eyebrows, his Life Aura rapidly dissipating. He fell heavily in the hall, his eyes wide with incomprehension.

"Presumptuous fellow, how can the methods of a Saint be fathomed by someone like you!"

Sun Family Head said coldly.

But then he added, "However, your idea isn't bad. It's just a pity that for this plan to be implemented, you must die!"

"Liu Yangsheng, go avenge your brother! Let this one see what capabilities this so-called Xu Family truly possesses, daring to disregard my Sun Family!"

A playful look appeared in Sun Family Head's eyes.

Then he looked at the middle-aged man's corpse.

"Someone!"

"Clan Chief!"

Soon, an armored commander walked in from outside the hall.

"Pass down the order: Elder Sun Jingming suffered severe injuries and passed away. The Elder Council is to give him a grand burial, and his lineage will receive first-class Family resources for Cultivation until a God-Emperor Realm appears!"

Sun Family Head said with a cold expression.

The armored commander looked at the bloody hole in the middle-aged man's forehead and already understood everything, but he was not a fool and knew what to do.

"Yes, Clan Chief!"

The armored commander carried the middle-aged man's body out of the hall.

Sun Family Head closed his eyes and continued to Cultivate.

To him, as long as it benefited the Family, let alone an Elder from a branch lineage, even an Elder from the main lineage could be sacrificed.

Mortal Imperial Dynasties are ruthless, and similarly, in the Martial Dao Realm, Sects and aristocratic Families are equally ruthless, even more so. To achieve their goals, even relatives can be sacrificed.

Meanwhile, just as Sun Family Head had expected, when Liu Yinsheng's body was brought back to the Liu Family, the entire Liu Family was filled with Liu Yangsheng's rage.

Immediately after, the Liu Family army assembled. A million divine soldiers, filled with murderous intent, grandly marched out of the Sacred Willow Heavenly Prefecture.

This time, the Liu Family did not use the teleportation array. Instead, a thousand warships, carrying overwhelming killing intent, traversed across various Heavenly Continents and headed towards the Nine Emperor Upper Domain.

"It's the Liu Family's Second Divine Army, the Blood Refinement Divine Army!"

"That's the Blood Refinement Marquis! Three hundred thousand years ago, the Blood Refinement Divine Army once annihilated a supreme Imperial Dynasty!"

"Who is so courageous as to provoke the Liu Family into deploying the Blood Refinement Divine Army?"

In every Heavenly Continent, countless Families and powers trembled.

"Has the Xu Family stirred up a hornet's nest?"

When Tang Yuan received the news, his expression changed.

He didn't know what confidence the Xu Family had to dare offend a Saint Family.

But he knew that the subsequent events had nothing to do with him. He was merely a small Emperor, with some talent in his lineage, but in the entire Tang Family, he was nothing at all.
