106: Sacrifice

On Guyue Peak, Chaos glow covered everything. What should have been daytime was still enveloped in darkness.

Suddenly, three streaks of light appeared simultaneously at the peak of Guyue Peak.

As the light dissipated, three aged but spirited figures were revealed.

As soon as they landed, the yellow-robed old man leading them frowned, “Not good, Chener’s life soul has also shattered.”

The blue-robed old man on the left, hearing this, was immediately enraged, “To dare attack my Xie Family, it must be the Xuan Sheng Immortal Dynasty’s doing!”

The green-robed old man on the right nodded, “It seems the Xuan Sheng Empress is determined to be an enemy of my Xie Family. In that case, there’s no need to hesitate anymore. Let’s directly gather all forces of the Xie Family and go to war with the Xuan Sheng Immortal Dynasty.”

The yellow-robed old man interrupted them in a deep voice, “Calm down first. It’s not too late to act after we’ve clarified the situation.

Look at this place. There are Spiritual Array fluctuations within my Xie Family ancestral home. Let’s break the array first and ask if the person inside is related to the annihilation of the City Lord’s Mansion.”

“Good!”

The other two old men simultaneously shouted and urged their full Spiritual Qi.

Immediately, yellow, green, and blue, three unparalleled Hunyuan Realm powers bloomed with magnificent colors on Guyue Peak.

“Iron Flame Boundless Hand: Break Array!”

The leading yellow-robed old man shouted in a deep voice, concentrating his lifelong cultivation into his palm, while the two blue and green robed old men behind him simultaneously channeled their cultivation to him.

Just as the monstrous flames swept over the array in an instant—

Boom!

An earth-shattering explosion rang out, and a flash of Dao light scattered from the peak of Guyue Peak.

The next moment, the Spiritual Array shattered.

“It’s a success!”

Just as the three were excited about breaking the array, Shen Lian’s arrogant voice rang in their ears.

“I thought it would be Liu Yixue, but I didn’t expect it to be three old dying men. Can you bear the price of disturbing Shen Lian’s cultivation?!”

A deep shout, and the sound wave directly forced the three Xie Family old men to retreat several steps.

As the dust settled, what appeared before the three was a cold and uninhibited figure.

“Grand Elder, this person is definitely not simple. His cultivation is not beneath ours.”

“Act according to the situation!”

The yellow-robed old man steadied his mind and stepped forward, “I am Xie An, one of the Six Ancestors of the Xie Family. May I ask, Fellow Daoist, why are you in my Xie Family ancestral home?”

Shen Lian slowly opened his eyes, and with just a glance at Xie An, a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes.

“Fourth Level of the Hunyuan Realm, yet you dare call yourself an Old Ancestor. I can only say that the Xie Family is nothing special.”

As soon as these words came out, the blue-robed old man couldn’t help but retort, “Young man, are you provoking the Xie Family? If so, then Xie Tian would like to have a good spar with you.”

“Hunyuan Realm third level? Even more Vulnerable trash!”

Shen Lian gave Xie Tian no Face at all, his words were extreme mockery.

“You!”

Xie Tian was so angry that he fumed.

“Young man, do you know the price of arrogance?”

“A bunch of dying people, talking to me about the price of arrogance?” Shen Lian raised a hand and pointed at the three, “Today, aren’t you here for the City Lord’s Mansion family?”

“How did you know?” Xie An frowned.

The green-robed Xie Hui said, “Could it be that you killed Xie Nianhua’s family?”

Shen Lian curled his lips, “Since you already know, we can save the unnecessary talk. You can all stay here and be buried with them.”

Xie An’s expression turned cold, “Your Excellency is so vicious. Why are you targeting my Xie Family? Has the Xie Family offended you somewhere?”

“What a joke. Shen Lian always acts freely and uninhibited. If I killed them, I killed them. What do I need to explain to you trash?

I just want to know, facing the murderer before you, what do you plan to do?”

Xie Tian could no longer bear it, “Grand Elder, I must kill him to avenge Chener!”

With that, he was the first to charge forward.

“Xie Tian, don’t be impulsive!”

Xie An wanted to stop him, but he was a step too late.

Xie Tian’s hands glowed with scorching flames, Spiritual Radiance scattered, and surging palm force containing countless Dao Rhyme rushed directly towards Shen Lian.

“Iron Flame Red Lotus Hand!”

He unleashed his full power without holding back.

Wherever Xie Tian’s palm force passed, it turned into scorched earth.

However, facing such a fierce palm strike, Shen Lian neither dodged nor avoided, standing firm like a mountain.

“Void Concealment: Transform Force.”

Half a foot before the palm force reached him, Shen Lian raised his hand, and the Yin and Yang Qi transformed into two polarities, instantly neutralizing the surging flames.

“What?!”

Seeing his palm power, which was capable of splitting mountains and burning stones, vanish into nothing, Xie Tian was greatly shocked.

“Come, what other Moves do you have? Just use them!”

After absorbing the residual Chaos power, Shen Lian’s cultivation had greatly improved. Facing Xie Tian, who was only at the Hunyuan Realm third level, he naturally didn’t take him seriously.

The mocking tone, the contemptuous attitude, the mortal enmity of the annihilated family.

The three exchanged glances in an instant, resolving to eliminate this terrifying opponent.

“Help me out.”

With a firm resolve, Xie An Li immediately channeled his full cultivation, condensing it into his palm in an instant.

In a flash, surging flames gradually spread from his palm.

Xie Tian and Xie Hui simultaneously channeled their full cultivation into Xie An’s body.

“Young man, you killed my Xie Family members. This grudge must be repaid today. Considering your commendable courage, I’ll allow you to leave your name, then turn into ashes.”

As they spoke, the combined cultivation of the three had reached its peak.

A hurricane swirled around the three, shooting straight into the sky.

“Hahahahaha!”

Upon seeing this, Shen Lian’s Battle Intent soared.

“Very good. In that case, I will use this Move to repay your courage to challenge fate in this life.”

The next moment, Shen Lian flipped his hands, his left palm holding up the sky, his right palm pressing against the earth, and a Spiritual Qi gathered from the essence of heaven and earth slowly entered his body.

In an instant, the Yin and Yang Qi absorbed Chaos, and the Fusion of the heaven and earth root within his body immediately created a miraculous sight in his hands.

“One Move. If you live, I will commit suicide.”

Upon hearing this, the three’s cheeks twitched with anger.

“Iron Flame Boundless Hand!”

A thunderous palm strike shot out, a thirty-foot flaming palm print, carrying the force to split mountains and crack stones, directly rushed towards Shen Lian.

“Void Concealment: Sun and Moon Flow Together!”

At the same time, Shen Lian’s tightly clasped hands merged the sun and moon.

In just an instant, the vast Dao Rhyme, like surging waves, instantly devoured the thirty-foot iron flame.

The remaining power of the sun and moon swept over Xie An and the other two like a violent storm.

“You… ah~”

“Ah~”

Accompanied by Xie An’s unwilling groan, the three instantly turned into ashes, scattering between heaven and earth.

“Truly Vulnerable.”

After the battle, Shen Lian looked expressionlessly into the Void Realm.

In his deep pupils, a cold, sharp light shot straight down.

Shen Lian stepped back half a step, and Sword Qi landed directly in front of his feet.

Boom—

In just an instant, the Sword Qi plunged three hundred feet, directly causing Guyue Peak to collapse.

“Shen… Lian!”

With a tragic roar, Liu Yixue stomped her foot.

Immediately, Guyue Peak sank three feet, causing the entire Yuntian City to shake uncontrollably.

Liu Yixue looked at Shen Lian furiously, “Shen Lian! Return Chener’s life to me!”

Hearing this, Shen Lian clasped his hands behind his back and sneered, “It seems you failed to rescue Xie Chen. What a pity, he ended up dying at the hands of the Revered Master who loved him the most.

This feeling is truly thrilling, isn’t it? I imagine he must have hated you after his death.”

“No, it wasn’t me, it was you, it was all your doing!”

Liu Yixue was unwilling to accept that Xie Chen died because of her, so she naturally poured all her resentment onto Shen Lian.

“Shen Lian, pay with your life for my Chener!”
