"It's you! How could you possibly be!"
After hearing Ming Qi's words, Chu Huaiyuan finally confirmed that the person before him was the Tianqi Academy disciple who had caused such a stir in the Biyou Sect over a decade ago. He had never dreamed that this disciple would achieve such great success!
"Nothing is impossible. I won't waste any more time here. Please make your decision quickly!"
Ming Qi made no effort to conceal his presence. His overwhelming pressure was like an insurmountable mountain, looming over Du Fuling and Chu Huaiyuan.
Du Fuling remained calm and didn't speak immediately. He simply stared at Ming Qi quietly, wondering what he was thinking.
Chu Huaiyuan was already furious. Upon hearing Ming Qi's words, he immediately scowled, "You're betraying your master and ancestors. You must know that no matter how powerful you are now, it doesn't change the fact that you were once a disciple of the Biyou Sect!"
"It can't be changed. You should be lucky. That's why I came here in person. Perhaps you don't know the orders I gave to the others."
"You want to establish your authority in Xilan Province?"
Du Fuling finally spoke, but his question wasn't about anything related to the Biyou Sect.
Ming Qi remained silent, simply responding, "After I leave Xilan Province, there will be no more Xiantian cultivators in Xilan Province, let alone Martial Kings or Martial Saints!"
"Arrogant!"
Chu Huaiyuan was furious. There will be no more Xiantian cultivators in Xilan Province!
This statement was simply unbearable!
"Arrogant? Chu Huaiyuan, let me tell you, I've always held a grudge. Not pursuing you is already a good thing. If you say one more word, you'll die today!"
Ming Qi clearly didn't want to continue his verbal battle with Chu Huaiyuan. He addressed Du Fuling directly, "Sect Master Du, make a decision quickly."
"Sect Master, we can't agree to him!"
Chu Huaiyuan saw Du Fuling still pondering and spoke hastily.
Hearing Chu Huaiyuan's reckless words again, Ming Qi finally gave up. He extended his hand and pointed, sending a beam of starlight flying towards him.
It was still the Soul-Slaying Finger. In Guangling City, it had instantly killed two Martial Saint-level warriors. Chu Huaiyuan before him was only a Martial King, so using it seemed a waste.
The starlight seamlessly sank into Chu Huaiyuan's body. The next moment, Chu Huaiyuan's life was gone, and he fell to the ground.
Du Fuling's eyes twitched, and he gave Ming Qi a serious look before nodding. "You may submit, but you must agree to a few conditions."
Ming Qi wavered his hand and declared coldly, "No conditions! Those who obey me prosper, those who defy me perish! If Sect Master Du continues to hesitate, I wouldn't mind burning down the entire Bikong Mountains like I burned down Guangling City!"
During this brief conversation, many more people from the Biyou Sect arrived from various locations. Most of them were sect elders and elite disciples, some of whom knew Ming Qi.
Meng Junyi and Sang Yue'er of Tianqi Academy were the ones who knew Ming Qi best. Seeing Ming Qi confronting the Sect Master in the sky, and seeing that the sect's Grand Elder Chu Huaiyuan was already dead, they were horrified and wanted to approach to inquire, but their hesitation prevented them from taking a single step.
As for the other disciples who knew Ming Qi but weren't very familiar with him, they all fell silent. As veterans of the Biyou Sect, they naturally knew what had happened. Now that Ming Qi had returned with such force, filled with vengeance, no one wanted to be involved.
Du Fuling was finally shocked when he heard Ming Qi talk about burning down the Bikong Mountains.
"So it was you who massacred Guangling City."
"Indeed, Yan Dongliu has repeatedly turned against me. This is all his fault!"
"When will this cycle of revenge end?"
Du Fuling sighed, knowing that the Biyou Sect was doomed today. To be able to instantly destroy Guangling City, even the Divine Realm would have struggled with such strength. No one could have imagined that this was a solo feat.
"I don't need a timer!"
Ming Qi waved his hand. "Not one of those who destroyed my Liuli Holy Land that day escaped. If Sect Master Du wishes to verify this, follow my steps. In three to five days, perhaps even less, I will flatten Xiongfeng City!"
Take Xiongfeng City flat!
Du Fuling let out a laugh, but there was no trace of disbelief. Xiongfeng City's Governor, Mu Feiyun, was only at the peak of the Martial Saint realm. Facing two Martial Emperor-level powerhouses, he wouldn't even be able to resist!
"Well, today, I'll grant your wish. From now on, my Biyou Sect will submit to you and do your bidding!"
Du Fuling spoke loudly, deliberately ensuring that everyone in the Biyou Sect could hear clearly. He then explained, "From now on, you will simply follow the wishes of Venerable Liuli. Cultivation is a long and arduous journey, so I hope you will take care of yourself."
As Du Fuling finished speaking, his True Energy surged, and he transformed into a ball of light, rapidly exploding.
Self-destructing his spirit!
Seeing this, Ming Qi couldn't help but be surprised. Du Fuling might have chosen not to do it, but once he made the decision, he was so resolute. The Biyou Sect's inheritance had been lost, and as the Sect Master, his decision, while unwise, couldn't be said to be wrong.
The entire Biyou Sect was once again in an uproar!
In a matter of moments, the news had spread privately throughout the Biyou Sect: a forsaken disciple of the Biyou Sect had taken revenge, forcing the death of Sect Master Du Fuling and Grand Elder Chu Huaiyuan, completely destroying the Biyou Sect's inheritance!
"Junior Brother Ming, you've changed. Let's go!"
Meng Junyi clenched and unclenched his fists repeatedly, his expression shifting back and forth. This incident came so suddenly that he had no time to process it. Before he could even rejoice at Ming Qi's return, he was immediately doused in a bucket of cold water, plunging into the abyss of despair.
"Let's go check on Ouna. Maybe she already knows about this."
Sang Yue'er knew Ouna had been harboring someone in her heart. She also knew that if Ouna learned of this, she would be even more restless and might even do something.
"Alright, she's seriously injured. If she hasn't heard about this yet, let's not say a word."
Meng Junyi nodded, and he and Sang Yue'er flew directly to Tianqi Courtyard.
Soon, they arrived at the hall and were shocked to see Ouna, dazed and motionless, standing at the doorway. She didn't even register their presence.
"Ouna, what's wrong with you?"
Sang Yue'er was shocked to see Ouna so uncharacteristic.
After a while, Ouna regained her composure and recognized Meng Junyi and Sang Yue'er. She whispered, "Junior Brother Ming is back. Did you know?"
Meng Junyi, upon hearing this, felt a pang of worry. He opened his mouth but couldn't utter a single word. Since Ouna already knew Ming Qi had returned, she naturally knew the whole story.
"I'm fine, don't worry."
...
"Why bother? Just kill them. Why leave so many seeds of resentment here?"
Ever since Chu Huaiyuan and Du Fuling's deaths, Xing Yun could clearly feel the resentment rising within the Azure Sky Mountains.
"Demon? Haha, I'll give them a chance. As for what they think, that's their business!"
Ming Qi stopped talking and flew off into the distance.
Xing Yun pondered for a moment, then soared above the Azure Sky Mountains, channeling her True Energy and saying, "Today, I advise you all not to play with your lives. As an Emperor-level powerhouse, I leave this message: Anyone who dares to have any unjust thoughts or actions against Venerable Liuli will die!"
