18: Chapter 18 The Intimidation of the Mysterious Man

After Cao Yang finished enjoying the sea of flowers with Su Xuan, he accompanied her on a tour of the entire Small World.

Because Cao Yang was the controller of the Huangqing Small World, he could appear anywhere instantly despite its vast area, so it didn't take long to tour the whole place.

Finally, at Su Xuan's suggestion, Cao Yang built a magnificent and comfortable two-story ancient-style pavilion for them to live in later, and only then did the two exit the Huangqing Small World.

Cao Yang and Su Xuan suddenly appeared in the inn. After tidying themselves up, they went downstairs to settle the bill and walked out of the inn.

Just as they left the inn, they heard many Cultivators discussing a major event that had occurred the previous night.

The event concerned the Wang family in Moyang City, which was backed by a Void Refining expert.

"Have you heard? The courtyard of the Wang Family Head was reduced to ruins by a single palm strike from a mysterious person, leaving only a terrifying palm print. The family head died miserably on the spot. The Wang Family Head was a Void Refining expert, it's truly terrifying."

"Exactly. I also heard that the Grand Elder of the Moyang Sword Sect came to take a look, and he said the person who attacked has unfathomable strength, at least an old monster at the Undergoing Tribulation stage."

"I wonder how the Wang family offended such an Undergoing Tribulation old monster."

"Yeah, Undergoing Tribulation old monsters are almost never seen."

Cao Yang hadn't expected such a large reaction. He only wanted to give the Wang family a deterrent to avoid endless trouble from them.

Walking down the street and hearing the discussions around her, Su Xuan's heart skipped a beat.

She suddenly remembered that Cao Yang had gone out for a while last night and immediately guessed the general course of events.

Su Xuan looked at Cao Yang, a hint of doubt and worry flashing in her eyes. She asked softly, "Junior Brother, you didn't kill any innocent people, did you?"

Cao Yang smiled slightly and shook his head, replying, "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I didn't kill any innocent people. Last night I visited the Wang family and crushed their family head's secluded cultivation spot."

He paused and then added, "However, no servants should have been living there, so it didn't cause any casualties."

Su Xuan nodded but still asked with some concern, "Will doing this cause trouble, Junior Brother?"

Cao Yang smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, Senior Sister. I did this to deter the Wang family so they won't dare to trouble us easily again. After all, I already killed the Wang family's young master during the day. If I didn't take some measures, I'm afraid they would be relentlessly persistent."

After hearing this, Su Xuan nodded slightly in understanding.

She knew that although Cao Yang's approach was somewhat aggressive, it was indeed an effective way to protect themselves.

She sighed and said to Cao Yang, "Junior Brother's thinking is correct; we can't always let others bully us. But you should still be careful in the future and try to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Cao Yang nodded, indicating he understood. He knew Su Xuan's concern came from a place of kindness and resolved to be more cautious in the future. The two smiled at each other, took each other's hands, and continued their stroll.

At this moment, in the deepest part of Moyang Peak of the Moyang Sword Sect, ten elders, each exuding a terrifying aura, were gathered together with solemn expressions.

The white-haired elder sitting in the center spoke, "Third Brother, you went to see it last night. Does it really look like the work of a Mahayana powerhouse?"

This white-haired elder was the First Ancestor of the Moyang Sword Sect, with a cultivation at the Late Stage of Undergoing Tribulation. Judging by his aura, he would soon be able to advance to the Peak of Undergoing Tribulation.

"It's likely correct. After the Grand Elder reported to me last night, I personally inspected the scene. That terrifying palm print doesn't seem like something the power of the Undergoing Tribulation stage could produce."

The elder addressed as Third Brother replied. His aura also showed the terrifying strength of the Middle Stage of Undergoing Tribulation.

Another Undergoing Tribulation elder spoke up, "Could it be that the one from Xianlin City took action?"

"Unlikely. According to the rules, that person is not allowed to act freely within the jurisdiction of the four Sects. Furthermore, that person has been in seclusion for a hundred years. If they had come out, our people in Xianlin City would have sent word."

This speculation was quickly dismissed.

The white-haired elder sighed and said, "I don't know why this mysterious person appeared within our Sect's territory or what they came for. Try to ensure the Sect members cause less trouble and keep a low profile lately."

Soon, the Sect's higher-ups found out about Cao Yang and Su Xuan killing the Wang family's young master in Moyang. This had happened the day before the Wang Family Head was destroyed.

This led many Moyang Sword Sect higher-ups to speculate. However, after questioning Ouyang Liuli, they confirmed Cao Yang was indeed recruited from a small village. This left the higher-ups completely baffled, and the Sect Master could only order more resources to be directed toward Liuli Peak.

If Ouyang Liuli hadn't also practiced the Immortal Stealth Technique, this matter certainly wouldn't have been hidden. Ouyang Liuli was still hoping Cao Yang would win rewards at the Four Provinces Exchange Meeting, which included a top-grade Magic Treasure sword.

Cao Yang and Su Xuan also returned to Liuli Peak and went to their respective Immortal Caves.

Returning to his Immortal Cave, Cao Yang sat cross-legged on the stone bed and thought, "System, open my status panel."

Host: Cao Yang

Looking at his panel, Cao Yang felt a great sense of achievement. He had been in this different world for less than half a month, yet he was nearly invincible and had three beauties.

Although he hadn't made a name for himself in the Tianxuan Realm yet, that kind of power and influence was empty and like drifting clouds in his eyes.

What Cao Yang pursued was only absolute strength and eternal life with his beauties!

Cao Yang suddenly felt the impulse of a Peak powerhouse, but then he thought of the Bloodline Seal on Su Xuan.

He immediately calmed down. There were countless powerhouses in the vast Universe!

The revolution is not yet successful; I still need to work hard!

With his mind at peace, he continued to sit and Cultivate.

Su Xuan had also returned to her Immortal Cave. She sat quietly on a prayer mat, closed her eyes, and began to feel the powerful force within her body.

That's right, Cao Yang had also used 300 years of Genius cultivation on Su Xuan.

By now, she had broken through to the Late Stage of the Void Refining Realm. This elevation in Realm made her feel as if she had been reborn. She could clearly feel every part of her body filled with endless spiritual energy, which surged like a turbulent ocean.

She slightly released a wisp of her aura, and it instantly spread, causing the air within the entire Immortal Cave to become heavy.

She was secretly amazed. If her former self had faced such an aura, she would likely have been instantly crushed to powder. But now, she could easily control this powerful force and even use it at will.

She couldn't help but think of her former self. Back then, she was just an insignificant little Cultivator who could only struggle bitterly against strong enemies, barely able to protect herself. But now, she had become a powerhouse, with every gesture containing the power to destroy heaven and earth.

Thinking of this, the corners of Su Xuan's mouth curled up into a confident smile. She knew that from now on, she would no longer need to fear any enemy because she possessed enough strength to face all challenges, not to mention her Junior Brother was there. In this world of immortal cultivation, she had finally joined the ranks of the strong, able to look down upon all living beings and pursue even higher Realms and achievements.
