501: They even dared to kill disciples of my Shangyun Sect?

Xiao Shan's expression was incredibly solemn: "Revered Master, the Young Revered Master seems to have a very significant background..."

He was reminding her that although Su Lan's cultivation in her previous life was very strong—at the Immortal Emperor Perfection Realm and only a step away from the Dominator Realm—

Once one saw how vast this world truly was, they would realize how small they were.

Even the Dominator Realm wasn't considered the strongest in these myriad worlds; there were even more powerful people above it.

Su Lan's expression became extremely solemn; clearly, the background of this 'younger brother' of hers was somewhat beyond her imagination.

After a long silence, Su Lan shook her head and smiled: "It doesn't matter. No matter what he was in his previous life, in this life, he is my younger brother. Our blood relation cannot be erased."

She had also thought it through; she felt there was no need to delve into Su Chen's matters, just as Su Chen had never asked about hers.

If she could see the differences in Su Chen, then Su Chen could certainly see them in her as well.

"As for this Shangyun Sect..."

Su Lan's face was full of disdain. If they really dared to come to her door, she would just kill them. The entire Shangyun Sect didn't even have an Immortal Lord Cultivator; they posed no threat to her at all.

When Su Chen returned to the Ye Family, the clansmen looked at him with extremely strange eyes, but Su Lan had temporarily suppressed the matter, so no one said anything.

Su Chen, however, looked completely indifferent and went straight back to his courtyard.

"Tongtian, stay in the neighboring place for now."

About three hundred meters outside Su Chen's courtyard, there was another small courtyard, but it had been abandoned for a long time as no one lived there.

Tongtian nodded and walked straight toward the small courtyard. He didn't bother with a thorough cleaning, just did a rough sweep of the trash, and then sat down cross-legged to begin cultivating.

As a Sword Fanatic, he wasn't like Su Chen, who required a very comfortable environment.

For Tongtian, any place would do as long as it didn't interfere with his cultivation... Shangyun Sect.

Halfway up the mountain, inside a massive palace.

A middle-aged man with three long swords floating above his head sat cross-legged on the ground. His expression was calm, and his clothes fluttered, giving off the aura of a Revered Master, mysterious and unfathomable.

Li Qing took a deep breath and shook his head: "I'm still a bit short of breaking through to the Middle Stage of the Immortal King Realm. However, if I can extract and refine the Bloodline of the Yue Family, it should be enough for me to make that Breakthrough."

At this point, his eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glint flickering within them.

The Bloodline within the Yue Family was somewhat unusual, something he had discovered by chance.

In his early years, in order to break through his Realm, he had specifically gone to the territories of Yao Beasts for experience and accidentally obtained a treasure that could detect Bloodlines.

It was precisely because of this treasure that he detected the strength of the Yue Family's Bloodline; the Yue Family's ancestors must have produced extremely powerful Cultivators.

The descendants of such powerful beings contained a faint Legacy of the Great Dao, but the Bloodline of the Yue Family members was quite thin, so these legacies were no longer of much help to them.

However, if he were to extract and absorb it himself, it would be of significant help.

Precisely because he knew the Yue Family had powerful ancestors, he didn't dare to act personally, fearing that those ancestors might still be alive. If they found out he was the one behind it, he would be doomed, wouldn't he?

"Elder Li, this is bad!"

Suddenly, a voice sounded from outside the hall.

Li Qing's brow furrowed slightly, and he said in an indifferent tone, "Enter!"

Soon, a young man wearing the attire of a Shangyun Sect Disciple approached, his face filled with panic and anger.

After walking to the platform below, the young man kowtowed directly to Li Qing and said:

"Please, Elder Li, seek justice for my Senior Brother. The Zhou and Yang families were about to successfully destroy the Yue Family, but a member of the Su Family's Direct Line intervened. Not only did he wipe out the two great families, but he also killed my Senior Brother. Please, Elder, seek justice for us!"

An ice-cold, bone-chilling killing intent suddenly erupted from Li Qing's previously calm face.

"What did you say? The Yue Family wasn't destroyed?"

He stood up, his entire body exuding an incredibly terrifying pressure that caused the entire hall to tremble slightly.

This person's Senior Brother was an Inner Sect Disciple, but since his Revered Master had long since fallen, he had agreed to protect him within the Shangyun Sect in exchange for doing this task.

To think he was a Grand Unity Golden Immortal; how could he possibly die in a place like Jueyang City?

"What is the origin of this Su Family? They even dare to kill a Disciple of my Shangyun Sect?"

Among the seven great families in Jueyang City, he only knew of the Wang Family and wasn't very familiar with the others. As for this Su Family, he had never even heard of them.

The young man said with some resentment, "The Su Family is at the bottom of the seven great families in Jueyang City. Their strongest person is only at the Half-step Grand Unity level."

Oh?

Li Qing's eyes narrowed instantly. A Family with only a half-step Grand Unity Golden Immortal could actually kill a Grand Unity Golden Immortal? This suggested the Su Family had something up their sleeves.

Could it be that they also discovered the situation with the Yue Family?

That should be impossible. If they were only at the Half-step Grand Unity level, it would be extremely difficult to detect the condition of the Yue Family's Bloodline. Moreover, with such a low Realm, even if they knew the Bloodline was powerful, they wouldn't be able to extract the Power of the Great Dao from it.

Li Qing didn't think much more of it; he gave a cold snort, his eyes filled with bone-chilling killing intent.

For the Su Family to be able to kill a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, they must have used some special means, or perhaps the Family itself possessed a powerful Cultivator who was simply hiding their cultivation.

Li Qing did not act rashly. He said in an indifferent tone, "Rest assured, I will avenge your Senior Brother!"

"First, tell me about the Su Family's situation in detail."

As a Cultivator who had scrambled his way up from a common Disciple to this level, he naturally wouldn't look down on his enemies, even if they were just ants.

The young man did not hesitate at all and immediately revealed everything regarding the Su Family's strength.

The more Li Qing heard, the more he felt something was off. The Su Family seemed like a very ordinary power; why were they able to kill a Grand Unity Golden Immortal?

"Could it be that someone else is using the Su Family's identity as a cover?"

The young man was stunned; he truly hadn't considered that possibility.

Seeing that he couldn't answer, Li Qing didn't bother asking more. He already understood the general situation; he only needed to make a trip to the Ye Family.

Although that person could kill a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, so what?

A Grand Unity Golden Immortal was nothing more than an ant in his eyes.

In a place like Jueyang City, no matter how strong a Cultivator was, how strong could they really be? In his eyes, weren't they all just ants?
