424: Chapter 434 May you be reborn into a better family in your next life!

Winter Abyss. Biting cold winds howled across the ice plains.

Inside Zhu Ziqiu's private ice pavilion, the joy of reunion had not yet fully dissipated when a terrifying, heart-palpitating pressure descended from outside the valley.

"Rumble—!"

The strength of this pressure made everyone in the Su Family shudder.

"Again?" Su Hao frowned.

Su Mo, without a word, grabbed the demonic blade on the table, his dark red eyes surging with Battle Intent once more. "This old poison-monger is truly like a lingering ghost!"

However, the faces of Zhu Ziqiu and Pei Qingnan, who were standing by the window, turned deathly pale in an instant.

"Something is wrong... This aura is not just Great Emperor Wandu!"

Zhu Ziqiu's voice trembled. Her innate Divine Ability, which could see through the Origin, was frantically sending her warnings of extreme danger. "There is an even more terrifying existence..."

Above the Winter Temple, Zhu Nanrong transformed into a streak of ice-blue light, instantly appearing at the very front of the sect-protecting Formation.

Outside the barrier, the withered and sinister figure of Great Emperor Wandu emerged once again from the snow-filled sky.

But this time, the dishevelled look on his face had been wiped away, replaced by the arrogance of a petty man who had gotten his way.

"Wandu, it seems that kick just now didn't teach you a lesson?"

Zhu Nanrong's face was covered in frost, her voice as cold as a blade.

"Zhu Nanrong, I admit, I cannot do anything to you here."

Great Emperor Wandu sneered unscrupulously, extending a withered finger to point at the top of Zhu Nanrong's head. "However, in this Brilliant Star Domain, there are plenty of people who can deal with you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, "Dong—! Dong—! Dong—!" Three dull war drum sounds, as if they could shatter a Divine Soul, came from above the nine heavens!

The sky over the extreme north suddenly and without warning turned dim.

The white snow and thick, heavy clouds that never dissipated year-round were ripped apart by a brute force!

Immediately after, in the shrinking pupils of Zhu Nanrong, over a hundred golden war vessels, blocking out the sky and sun like ancient behemoths, crushed the Void Realm and descended with a roar directly above Winter Abyss!

Every war vessel was filled with elite soldiers whose Qi and blood soared to the heavens. Over a dozen terrifying auras belonging to the Quasi-Emperor level, like an interwoven web of firepower, locked firmly onto the valley below.

And what was most despairing was that on the largest dragon-headed imperial vessel, five Great Emperor Realm auras, as deep as the abyss and as vast as the sea, were circling!

"Lingxiao Alliance!!!"

Zhu Nanrong's expression turned extremely ugly in an instant.

Even though she was aloof and arrogant, and even though she had the support of the Winter Formation, a deep sense of powerlessness welled up in her heart when she saw that Lingxiao golden flag fluttering in the wind.

In the Brilliant Star Domain, apart from the Fanyin Empress who had guarded the Star Domain for generations, the Lingxiao Alliance was the absolute king under this starry sky!

"Girl Zhu, long time no see."

An old voice drifted from afar from the dragon-headed imperial vessel.

As this voice rang out, an old man wearing golden imperial robes with white hair and beard slowly appeared at the very front.

Late Stage Emperor Realm! Old Master Jin!

He merely stood there casually, and the surrounding space began to twist violently. The supposedly indestructible sect-protecting Formation of Winter Abyss actually began to emit ear-piercing cries, and fine spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the frost barrier!

"Old Master Jin!"

Zhu Nanrong took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in her heart, and coldly looked up at him. "I wonder why Old Master has gone to such lengths to surround my valley with the Lingxiao army?"

"Hand over the people."

Old Master Jin did not speak; instead, one of the Great Emperor Realm experts beside him spoke up. "That group of brats provoked the majesty of our Lingxiao Heavenly Palace and slaughtered our Alliance families. If you hand them over, the Alliance will withdraw immediately. If you do not, then today, Winter Abyss will have no need to exist."

A naked threat! Unconcealed arrogance!

"They are my guests!" Zhu Nanrong's beautiful willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed.

"It seems you prefer the hard way over the easy way."

The Great Emperor Realm expert snorted coldly and slowly raised his right hand. "Form up!"

As he gave the order, the four Great Emperors on the war vessels attacked simultaneously. Formation Flags flew across the sky, and a terrifying Formation diagram burning with world-destroying divine fire, capable of refining the stars of the Great Thousand Star Domain—the [God-Slaying Heaven-Burning Formation]—slowly took shape above Winter Abyss!

Facing such an impending catastrophe, Zhu Nanrong's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

She knew that once this Formation fell, the Winter Formation would definitely not last for half an hour!

At this critical moment, Zhu Nanrong hurriedly split a strand of Divine Thought and directly transmitted her voice to Su Hao below. "Su Hao! Didn't you say before that your father was at the Late Stage Emperor Realm?!"

"Hurry and notify him to come! The Lingxiao Alliance is playing for real. Old Master Jin is a Late Stage Great Emperor, and there are five other Great Emperors assisting! Once this [God-Slaying Heaven-Burning Formation] slams down, the Winter Formation won't last long at all! The valley will be razed to the ground!"

Zhu Nanrong's voice was filled with anxiety.

The next moment, the space fluctuated slightly. Su Hao, Su Mo, and nearly a hundred other Su Family descendants emerged from the void without the slightest fear, landing in unison beside Zhu Nanrong.

"Thank you, Senior, for your righteous assistance. However, it is better if we handle what comes next ourselves." Su Hao stood at the very front, his voice as steady as a mountain.

Zhu Nanrong's azure, autumn-water-like eyes shook violently, and she subconsciously blurted out, "Hand it to you?!"

She simply could not believe her ears. Do you want to listen to what you are saying?!

Opposite you are six Great Emperors! And one Late Stage Great Emperor who has held the power of life and death over the Brilliant Star Domain for hundreds of millions of years!

You are a group of Saints. Even if you have trained heaven-defying skills in a cage, what do you have to contend against such a world-destroying lineup?!

"Lingxiao Alliance Leader? Heh~~"

Su Mo carried his demonic blade, dark red demonic patterns surging wildly around his body. He looked up at Old Master Jin on the dragon-headed imperial vessel, his eyes devoid of any awe, filled only with an eager, fanatic desire to fight.

"You little brat, relying on your status as an ant, how dare you use such eyes to speak to our Alliance Leader?!" Beside Old Master Jin, a fox-in-tiger's-skin Alliance Saint immediately pointed at Su Mo and roared angrily.

Old Master Jin slightly raised his hand, stopping his subordinate's clamor.

He looked down condescendingly at Su Hao, Su Mo, and the others. A flash of greed crossed his turbid old eyes.

Such young bone age, such surging, dragon-like Qi and blood, and they are all Saints!

If he could strip the Origin of these hundred peerless Geniuses and refine them into supreme immortal medicine, it would certainly greatly increase his withered Lifespan!

"I have lived for hundreds of millions of years, and the Geniuses I have seen are as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river. But ones as stupid as you are rare." Old Master Jin's tone was flat, without a ripple.

"I am curious, who gave you the confidence to dare to touch the iron Laws set by the Lingxiao Alliance?"

"Iron Laws?" Su Mo curled his lips in disdain upon hearing this.

"Your Lingxiao Alliance, on the surface, pretends to uphold the Righteous Path of the Star Domain, but behind the scenes, you use low-level Cultivators to refine medicine and sell your own kind. In my view, you are not even as good as those animals from the Myriad Poison Demon Sect. At least they are consistent; they are clearly rotten. And you? You are just a group of hypocritical old turtles!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone on the Lingxiao Alliance war vessels glared in rage!

Su Mo's words had simply torn off the fig leaf of their entire plutocratic Alliance and thrown it on the ground to be trampled!

"And, not only are you rotten, but you are also a bunch of cowards!"

Su Hao took over the conversation, the Heavenly Tribulation Light swirling in his eyes, his voice like a great bell, spreading throughout the entire extreme northern starry sky.

"When the Realm Demons invaded the Great Thousand Star Domain, the Brilliant Star Domain dispatched a total of ten Great Emperor Realm experts to rush to the Realm Battlefield!"

"But as far as I know, your Lingxiao Alliance, as the strongest force in the Star Domain, did not send a single soldier, using the excuse of maintaining stability in the rear!"

"Not only did you not contribute in the rear, but you also took advantage of the army's departure and the internal emptiness to rely on your massive influence and forcefully seize the territory resources of those Great Emperors who went to war!"

"Is this your so-called iron Law?!"

Su Hao made the secret public. Old Master Jin, who had been calm, narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing this.

Some dirty deals are understood by everyone without being spoken; those are unwritten rules. But if they are brought to the table and loudly proclaimed, then the rules are truly broken!

"Aunt..." Zhu Ziqiu did not know when she had already walked out of the barrier, silently standing behind Su Hao.

She turned her head to look at Zhu Nanrong, her eyes showing a calmness of facing death without fear. "I am sorry, Aunt. This is Su Hao's choice. If he fights, I will fight with him. If he dies, I will never live alone."

Zhu Nanrong looked at her niece, who had always been cold and aloof, and sighed deeply, but silently pushed the Formation to its limit.

In mid-air, Old Master Jin looked at the Su Family descendants below, who were filled with righteous indignation, and suddenly sneered.

That laughter was filled with the pity and ridicule of an elder for ignorant children. "Heh heh... Righteous and awe-inspiring."

Old Master Jin slowly shook his head. "What a pity. A mere Quasi-Emperor actually dares to try to use morality and truth to change the operating Laws of this Star Domain?"

Great Emperor divine light began to radiate from his body, and that power of rules, which surpassed all living beings, made the Laws of this starry sky tremble. "You are too young; you do not understand the truth of this world at all."

"What is the truth? The truth is only in the hands of the strong." Old Master Jin looked down at Su Hao, as if pronouncing the final verdict. "The dead have no right to express their opinions. And history is always written by those who are alive!"

"The weak should have the awareness of the weak. Not like a frog in a well, trying to accuse the color of the sky."

Old Master Jin slowly raised that withered right hand, which contained the power of destruction, and waved it gently downward. "Now, I am the knife and the chopping board, and you are the fish and the meat. This is the reality you must accept."

"Remember to be reborn into a better life in your next life. Do not meet me again... Lingxiao Alliance!"
