17: Chapter 17 Blood Raven Soars

Yicui Pavilion, top floor private room.

The bead curtains were half-rolled, and the moonlight was like water.

Luo Qingyue stood before the window, her white clothes like snow, cold and ethereal.

Her gaze pierced through the night, falling upon the five figures engaged in a fierce clash in the distance.

To be precise, it was three against two, a one-sided crushing.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and a rare look of daze appeared in her cold eyes.

The moment those few people clashed just now, the auras of Patriarch Shen Tianze and the other two could no longer be concealed.

Fourth level of the Primal Chaos Realm.

First level of the Primal Chaos Realm.

First level of the Primal Chaos Realm.

Luo Qingyue's breath hitched for a moment.

Having followed the Young Master for three years, she had seen countless experts.

In her eyes, the Primal Chaos Realm was not considered a top-tier powerhouse.

But the problem was—

This was Guangnan City!

Guangnan City, which ranked in the middle among the thirty-six main cities of the Southern Region!

Although the Shen Family had a Legacy spanning thousands of years, it was not considered a top-tier power in the entire Southern Region.

In her understanding, even the Old Ancestors in the Shen Family's ancestral land only had strengths at the Void Tempering Realm at most.

But what did she see?

A total of three in the Primal Chaos Realm!

Luo Qingyue remained silent for a long time.

She remembered that she had just told the Young Master she would go help.

Thinking about it now—

What help?

That Wang Tiangang was only at the first level of the Void Piercing Realm, and that Daoist Qiu was only at the third level of the Void Piercing Realm; before three in the Primal Chaos Realm, they didn't even have the qualification to flee for their lives!

"The Young Master was right, it truly is a good show."

Luo Qingyue whispered to herself.

She looked at Daoist Qiu being stepped on in the distance, and at Wang Tiangang sitting paralyzed and trembling in the ruins, a thought welled up in her heart:

With this strength, what is the Shen Family still pretending for?

Can't they just wipe out the Wang Family directly?

Three in the Primal Chaos Realm would be a force to be reckoned with even in the entire Southern Region.

Even in those top-tier Sects, the Primal Chaos Realm is enough to serve as a Sect Master-level figure.

Wiping out a Wang Family, wouldn't that be as easy as lifting a hand?

Luo Qingyue turned her head, looking at Shen Qingyuan on the soft couch emitting the aura of the Meridian Opening Realm, and a flash of insight crossed her mind.

The Shen Family is low-key!

So this is the low-key nature of the Shen Family!

Luo Qingyue recalled the incident from three years ago.

Three years ago, she was known as the number one Prodigy of the Southern Region, enjoying boundless glory and being the focus of everyone's attention wherever she went.

But in the end, she fell into another's trap, was afflicted with a strange poison, and nearly died in a Secret Realm.

If the Young Master hadn't happened to pass by and saved her life, she would have long ago turned into a pile of withered bones.

Speaking of which, the strength of her enemies wasn't that formidable; even if she was afflicted with a strange poison, it would have been enough to slay them.

But she hadn't expected that those people would have figured out all her Moves and Magic Treasures, causing many of her methods to be ineffective.

If she had hidden a few more trump cards, she wouldn't have fallen into such a dangerous situation.

Thinking of this, she suppressed her disguised Realm once more, lowering it from the ninth level of the Dharma Image Realm to the first level of the Dharma Image Realm.

In the future, I should also use poison less frequently and keep it as a trump card.

Everyone knows that Fairy Qingyue has an exceptionally high talent in the Dao of the sword and her swordsmanship is superb, but few know that her poison skills are also matched by few.

---

Under the moonlit night, Wang Tiangang sat paralyzed in the ruins, his face as pale as paper, looking extremely wretched.

He looked at the masked man in black robes before him, then at Daoist Qiu being stepped on not far away, and a deep sense of despair welled up in his heart.

Three!

A full three unfathomable powerhouses!

When did Guangnan City hide so many terrifying figures?

And why did these three want to attack them?

Wang Tiangang didn't associate the three before him with the Shen Family at all, nor did he believe that the Shen Family could have so many terrifying existences.

"You... who exactly are you people?"

Patriarch Shen Tianze didn't speak, but merely looked down at him from above, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes.

Since he already knew Wang Tiangang's identity, there was naturally no need to ask further.

He raised his hand, preparing to capture Wang Tiangang.

However—

At this very moment!

"Blood Crow Skyflight!!!"

A shrill roar suddenly exploded!

Daoist Qiu, who was being stepped on the ground, suddenly erupted, as a terrifying blood-red light blasted out from within his body!

"Not good!"

Shen Yuanshan's expression changed drastically, and he applied force with his foot, wanting to crush him to death.

But it was already too late.

“Bang—!”

Daoist Qiu's body exploded directly!

Blood mist filled the sky, transforming into countless blood-colored crows that fled frantically in all directions!

Every blood crow carried a trace of Daoist Qiu's Divine Soul aura, blotting out the sky in a dense mass—there were at least a thousand of them!

As long as even one escaped, Daoist Qiu could use the Blood Pool to achieve Rebirth!

"A secret technique of Blood Crow Mountain?"

A cold glint flashed in Patriarch Shen Tianze's eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled into a slight, mocking arc.

He had long been prepared for this Move!

"Where do you think you're going!"

Before his voice even faded, Patriarch Shen Tianze's hands formed seals, and the vast spiritual energy of the fourth level of the Primal Chaos Realm within his body erupted!

An invisible spiritual energy barrier instantly spread out, enveloping everything within a hundred-zhang radius!

Shen Yuanshan and Shen Yuanhe struck simultaneously, two fierce palm winds sweeping through; wherever they passed, the blood crows exploded one after another, turning into clouds of blood mist!

"No—!!!"

A shrill scream from Daoist Qiu came from within the swarm of blood crows.

He desperately controlled the blood crows to crash in all directions, trying to break through this spiritual energy barrier.

However—

How could a barrier set up by the fourth level of the Primal Chaos Realm be broken by someone at the third level of the Void Piercing Realm like him?

“Bang bang bang bang—!”

One by one, the blood crows crashed into the spiritual energy barrier and exploded, dissipating into blood mist.

The three from the Shen Family were like reapers harvesting wheat, their palm winds and fist auras sweeping through, annihilating the blood crows patch by patch.

A moment later.

The last blood crow let out a shrill mournful cry and exploded with a bang.

"Phew—"

Patriarch Shen Tianze withdrew his hands and stood tall, quite satisfied with his own methods.

However, just then—

A flurry of noisy footsteps and exclamations came from the distance.

"Quick! The sound came from over there!"

"With such a large commotion from the fight, it must be powerhouses clashing!"

"Go see what's happening!"

Patriarch Shen Tianze frowned.

It seemed the commotion was too great, and the powerhouses in the city had been alerted.

He glanced at Wang Tiangang sitting paralyzed in the ruins, then at the messy battlefield around them, and made a prompt decision: "Take him and leave the city!"

Shen Yuanshan grabbed Wang Tiangang, hoisting him up like a dead dog.

The three of them flickered and disappeared into the night.

...

A moment later.

A group of Cultivators arrived at the scene.

Seeing the blood all over the ground and the shattered roof tiles, everyone gasped.

"This... what level of battle was this?"

"Heavens! Look at the lingering aura on the ground!"

"It was a clash between powerhouses at least at the Void Piercing Realm or above!"

"Guangnan City actually hides several Void Piercing Realm powerhouses?"

Everyone discussed fervently, but no one could say for sure what had happened.

In the crowd, an old man in brocade clothes frowned deeply, staring at the blood on the ground for a long time before his pupils suddenly constricted.

"This is... the secret technique of Blood Crow Mountain!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar among the crowd.

"Blood Crow Mountain? That bandits' nest in the Tiannan Mountains?"

"How could people from Blood Crow Mountain appear in Guangnan City?"

The old man in brocade clothes said in a heavy voice, "From the looks of it, someone clashed with people from Blood Crow Mountain, and... the people from Blood Crow Mountain were killed!"

Everyone looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.

...

Outside the city, Shili Slope.

Under the moonlight, a deserted Mountain God Temple stood silently, with only a few black crows perched on the divine statue.

Patriarch Shen Tianze and the other two landed in front of the temple with Wang Tiangang.

Shen Yuanshan casually threw Wang Tiangang onto the ground like a dead dog.

“Thud!”

Wang Tiangang slammed heavily onto the ground, his bones feeling as if they were about to fall apart, yet he didn't even dare to let out a scream.

He lay paralyzed on the ground, trembling all over, his eyes filled with fear and despair.

Daoist Qiu was dead!

Daoist Qiu, at the third level of the Void Piercing Realm, had died just like that!

Not even a speck of him remained!

Patriarch Shen Tianze took off the mask on his face, revealing a majestic and square face.

"Wang Tiangang, your Wang Family colluded with Blood Crow Mountain; you wanted to deal with our Shen Family, didn't you?"
