"Young Master!"
"D*mn it, you all deserve to die!"
The experts of the Sky Thunder Clan went mad, their eyes turning blood-red.
Tianyang Prefecture had really killed their young master!
"We won't let you off so easily, even if we lose our lives!"
An expert from the Sky Thunder Clan roared angrily, ready to fight to the death.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
What greeted him was the fierce counterattack of many Xuanwu Realm experts. Terrifying Xuan energy turned into blades, spears, swords, and axes, striking his body and instantly shattering it.
"Xiao Chen, we won't let you off even if we go to our graves!"
At the moment of death, a powerhouse from the Sky Thunder Clan spoke ferociously. His voice was cold and piercing, like a lonely soul from the Nine Serenities.
However, Xiao Chen only smiled coldly.
"No living thing can beat me. So what if I'm a ghost? Come if you dare. Let's see if I can't kill even evil spirits!"
"How dare you disrespect Young Master Xiao! Die!"
Meng Chen roared, his Xuan energy surging as he struck the expert's head with his palm.
At that moment, Zhao Qian was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, slaughtering relentlessly.
Clang! Clang!
The experts of the Sky Thunder Clan widened their eyes in disbelief. Blood flowed freely, staining the ground red.
After a while, Zhao Qian cupped his hands and said loudly, "Young Master Xiao, the remnants of the Sky Thunder Clan have all been killed."
Xiao Chen nodded approvingly. "Very good. I'm very satisfied. Don't worry, if the Sky Thunder Clan comes, I'll take full responsibility."
"Oh, Young Master Xiao, that's something rare to hear from you. Although the Zhao family is not as powerful as the Sky Thunder Clan, we are not cowards."
Zhao Qian smiled and said in a deep voice, "The Zhao family is willing to follow you anywhere, Young Master Xiao."
Beside him, the other major households also spoke solemnly:
"We are willing to follow you and fight against the Sky Thunder Clan, Young Master Xiao."
"Haha, I've long disliked the Sky Thunder Clan, but I didn't dare to say anything because of their power. It would be an honor to stand with you, Young Master Xiao."
"That's right. That clan has always been arrogant, thinking they're above us all. If they dare come again, we'll teach them a lesson!"
Xiao Chen laughed, paying them no mind.
He had never relied on these people. They were of little consequence to him.
His biggest trump card was himself.
He had the strength to reach the heavens and hold the world in the palm of his hand.
"I have to thank you, Prefecture Master."
Xiao Chen cupped his hands, speaking with a smile.
If the Prefecture Master had helped Lei Sanqian earlier, it would have been quite troublesome. He would have had to personally step in.
The Prefecture Master shook his head and said indifferently, "It was your own abilities that killed him. The palace has always opposed the power of clans, believing their existence weakens the palace's authority. However, there are too many experts within the clans, so we have to be cautious."
"That is why I can't support you on the surface. Everything is still up to you." The Prefecture Master took a deep look at Xiao Chen and added coldly, "I'll say it again. You destroyed the Sky Thunder Clan with your own strength. If you die, don't blame anyone else."
Xiao Chen nodded lightly.
Seeing that Xiao Chen didn't seem to mind, the Prefecture Master said no more. However, in his heart, he was filled with expectation.
Would this mighty young man shock the world by destroying the Sky Thunder Clan?
Or would he be mercilessly crushed by them?
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, a powerful group of experts rushed toward Tianyang Prefecture from the outside.
Leading them were three elders dressed in deep purple robes. Their bodies radiated a sea of Xuan energy, exuding terrifying pressure.
Even from afar, they were as dazzling as the sun, impossible to ignore.
Boom!
On the city wall, many experts of Tianyang Prefecture appeared one after another. Zhao Qian looked at the three elders and his expression changed slightly.
"Three golden marks! These are the Sky Thunder Clan's core elders!"
He continued, "Young Master Xiao, the Sky Thunder Clan is divided into the outer gate, the inner gate, and the core. Core elders have three golden marks on their sleeves, representing their superiority."
"A core elder's strength is at least at the peak of Level Two in the Xuanwu Realm."
"As far as I know, there are only three core elders in the entire Sky Thunder Clan. It seems all of them have come out now."
Beside him, Meng Chen, He Guang, and the other masters of the six greatest households looked grim.
Three peak Level Two Xuanwu Realm experts...
A bloody battle was inevitable!
"Master Lin, are you here?"
As the three elders arrived at the city, one of them spoke in a deep voice. His lowering tone was like muffled thunder.
"What is the matter?"
The Prefecture Master appeared quietly on the wall and asked.
"Master Lin, Lei Qianjie's men were attacked by the Xiao family, and he wanted to hold them accountable. Instead, he was attacked himself. Do you know about this?"
"Are you questioning me?" The Prefecture Master asked coldly, his aura turning chillingly oppressive.
"You have no right to speak to me like that!"
The elder sneered. "Three days ago, my clan's young master came to Tianyang Prefecture and was killed. Even five Xuanwu Realm experts were wiped out."
"And now you say I have no right to question you?"
"Then I must ask—what kind of Prefecture Master are you?"
"How could you let our clan's experts be slaughtered like this?"
"How disrespectful!"
The Prefecture Master's eyes flashed coldly. Behind him, Xuan energy gathered into a chilling arrow, ready to be fired at a moment's notice.
"Me, disrespectful? Haha, then I shall be disrespectful today."
The elder said flatly, "Not only that, but we'll impeach you from the Tenth Xuan Sect, stripping you of your immunity."
The Prefecture Master's face turned even colder.
The Tenth Xuan Sect was a second-class sect, governing all sects under the Fengyang Regional City. Their authority was nearly equal to the regional government's.
If they truly held him accountable, defending himself would be difficult.
"Impeach me? Haha, Master Lin, you are not my superior. You'd better reconsider."
Xiao Chen suddenly spoke. He stood with his hands behind his back, his white robes fluttering. His presence alone was imposing.
"Are you Xiao Chen?"
"That's right. I killed Lei Qianjie. Lei Sanqian and the Sky Thunder Clan experts were also slain by me."
"You heartless beast!"
The elder cursed, hatred burning in his eyes. "Do you feel no guilt for killing so many people?"
"Guilt?"
Xiao Chen's eyes turned cold. "Since we're on different paths, words are meaningless. In the end, only strength matters!"
With that, he pointed forward. His momentum surged wildly.
"Then, let me show you how an 'ant' like me can kill you all!"
