157: Funeral hall

Li Haotian slowly wiped the blood from his Long Sword. Around him, there was no life left; all the Powerhouses had been completely slaughtered by him.

He collected a large amount of resources from the town below, storing them all in his spatial ring, then Li Haotian turned and left.

At this moment, a young boy slowly emerged from the ruins. He looked no different from an ordinary member of the Foreign Race. His face was covered in bloodstains as he pushed aside the surrounding earth and stones, pulling his entire body out from under the rubble.

He glared resentfully at the corpses scattered on the ground, among them his parents and relatives.

"Human Race, the damned Human Race! One day, I will Cultivate diligently and take my revenge!"

The Foreign Race boy's gaze was resolute, and tears he could no longer hold back streamed down the corners of his eyes.

Then, a crisp clapping sound came from nearby.

Li Haotian clapped his hands with a smile. The boy immediately froze, taking a step back, his eyes filled with wariness and disbelief. The other party had clearly left, his aura long gone, so how had he suddenly returned?

"I knew it, hehe. The protagonist always appears after experiencing a great upheaval. It seems you are the protagonist among the Foreign Race!"

Li Haotian chuckled, then grabbed the boy's head and gently squeezed. The boy's head instantly shattered into pieces, like a watermelon dropped on the ground.

Seeing that the boy was completely lifeless, Li Haotian turned and left again.

Then, a wriggling sound came from beneath the ruins, and a seemingly even younger boy emerged from the rubble.

At this moment, his fingers were clearly dug into his palms, and he looked extremely furious.

He had witnessed his parents and relatives die before his eyes, and just now, his elder brother was also killed by that Powerhouse.

For a moment, endless rage and hatred instantly clouded his mind.

"Brother, Mom, Dad, I will definitely conquer the entire Heaven Domain, slaughter every single Human Race member, and avenge you!"

The boy cried out hoarsely, kneeling on the ground, then dug a deep pit and buried his brother.

Li Haotian appeared behind him at some point and tossed him a shovel.

The boy turned his head in surprise, his eyes widening instantly. He involuntarily fell to the ground, his face filled with despair and terror.

"Hmph, I knew it. The scenery here is quite nice. Dig a pit and lie in it."

After Li Haotian finished speaking, the boy desperately wielded the shovel, then dug a deep pit and lay inside. Immediately, a Sword Qi instantly sliced across the boy's forehead, and he died on the spot.

Li Haotian launched a series of attacks on the ruins below, directly turning the entire town into a massive deep pit. Only after confirming that no living beings remained did he enthusiastically turn and leave.

Actually, he had noticed these two children earlier, but he hadn't made a move immediately. He just wanted to see if these two guys would be scared out of their wits and no longer dare to be enemies with the Human Race. If so, then that would be that.

However, after these two guys emerged, they started to act arrogant, each one speaking more excessively than the last. Li Haotian really couldn't stand it anymore, so he acted to deal with them all.

There was still some time before his Cultivation dissipated, and Li Haotian didn't plan to return so simply. He directly chose to fly to a more distant location, slaughtering every town he passed through.

Before this, no Human Race Great Emperor Powerhouse had ever dared to penetrate deep into the Foreign Race's heartland; he was the first. It wasn't long before the Foreign Race also discovered something was wrong, as many towns gradually lost contact.

One after another, Powerhouses went out to investigate, but they also disappeared. They then realized that a Powerhouse had made a move and immediately dispatched a large number of Great Emperors to encircle and suppress him.

Li Haotian consecutively killed more than ten Great Emperor Powerhouses. Their heads were neatly arranged in a row. He then turned and left with great interest, with only a quarter of an hour remaining until his Cultivation disappeared.

Now, the safest method was to head in the direction of the Human Race; he could sense their aura there.

At this moment, in the war room, Lin Tianxuan, along with Ghost One and Ghost Two, stood by Li Haotian's chair with regretful expressions. They couldn't go too deep into the Foreign Race's heartland, so they had no way to rescue Li Haotian.

Lin Tianxuan wasn't worried that the other party would be in danger; he only regretted why he hadn't discovered the other party's intentions sooner. He was clear about Li Haotian's strength; the other party wouldn't be in danger.

But the problem was that as a Death Retainer, he had clearly failed in his duty now.

To allow his master to be in such a dangerous situation, even dying to atone for his sin would probably not be an overstatement.

Crimson's eyes were red, and she angrily pounded the table. The table, which had just been repaired not long ago, was smashed by her punch.

"Damn Foreign Race! Damn them!"

Crimson's eyes were bloodshot. She now wished she could immediately write a letter to the Sect, asking her father to avenge Li Haotian.

He had left the town and was teleported away, with four Great Emperors around him. No matter what, Li Haotian could never have survived such a desperate situation.

The others also fell into silence. Although they had previously had generals captured and killed, it was never like this, directly provoking four Great Emperor Powerhouses to act.

With such intensity, the other party absolutely could not have survived.

Everyone's mood seemed a bit low, and their faces showed some helplessness. The only one present who might have been happy was Wang Lin.

"Report this matter to the Heavenly Profound Sect. After all, he died fighting for the soldiers. We should give him a dignified send-off. The entire city will observe three days of mourning!"

Wang Lin's excited voice betrayed his inner thoughts. He swiftly had his servants set up a memorial hall right there in the conference room, which looked quite authentic.

It was adorned with many offerings and looked quite fitting.

Before the next Heavenly Profound Sect Chief arrived, his memorial tablet would be placed in the conference room, serving as a comfort to his spirit in heaven.

Seeing this, Crimson's tears began to flow uncontrollably. Lin Tianxuan did not offer any explanation; his master had said not to expose his strength, and he was quite clear that if his master died, he would certainly die too, as the contract between them meant that if the master died, he, as a Death Retainer, would inevitably perish with him.

So, as long as he was alive, his master would be fine.

Just as everyone continued to discuss the war meeting, a figure had already appeared in the conference room, though no one noticed.

Li Haotian picked up a pastry from the memorial hall, examined it, and then put it in his mouth to taste. It tasted pretty good.

He had no resistance to food, especially since these items were originally offerings for him, and his cenotaph was now standing right here.

The crunching sound quickly caught Crimson's attention. Crimson looked suspiciously in the direction of the memorial hall, then instantly froze in place.
