After the three of them stepped out of the main hall, the scene outside had already turned into a sea of fire. Buildings blazed fiercely, screams and the clash of weapons echoing everywhere.
Xiao Jietian hadn't come alone. The rest of the Black Emperor Sect's cleanup—killing, capturing, subduing—was being handled by the other elders and elite members of Boundless Heaven Hall.
"Halls Master, this is Mo Ya, Mo Tianxing's only son."
Jin Mo appeared, one hand gripping the collar of a handsome young man dressed in white robes, dragging him forward like a chicken.
At this moment, Mo Ya's face was deathly pale, eyes wide with terror.
"My father is a four-star Dou Zong! If you kill me, you won't escape his wrath either!"
He still assumed Jin Mo—the one holding him—was the strongest among them. After all, Jin Mo was a one-star Dou Zong, and the three people in front of him looked far too young.
Xiao Jietian merely glanced at Mo Ya's panicked expression and casually waved his hand.
"If you miss your father so much, then go accompany him. Old Mo, finish him."
The moment those words left his mouth, the fear in Mo Ya's eyes skyrocketed to pure despair.
He wasn't stupid. From that single sentence, he instantly understood—his father was already dead.
Before he could even beg or curse, Old Mo's Dou Qi surged violently.
Crack—crack—crack!
A series of crisp, horrifying sounds rang out.
Mo Ya's body instantly went limp, collapsing like a rag doll with no bones left inside.
Indeed—there were no bones left. Every single one, along with his internal organs, had been shattered into powder by Old Mo in an instant.
In Boundless Heaven Hall, Old Mo was the feared head of the Enforcement Hall.
He was fair, strict, and utterly ruthless. Any criminal, traitor, or spy who fell into his hands rarely came out whole—if they came out at all.
Xiao Jietian fully supported this approach.
In chaotic times like these, leniency bred corruption. A sect without iron rules and a merciless enforcer would collapse from within sooner or later.
As for whether harsh punishments would breed resentment? With the unprecedented treatment and benefits Boundless Heaven Hall provided, such a thing simply didn't exist.
Old Mo casually tossed Mo Ya's corpse into the nearest blazing building, bowed slightly to Xiao Jietian, and returned to supervising the purge of the Black Emperor Sect.
Xiao Jietian, with Medusa and Little Fairy Doctor at his sides, strolled leisurely through the chaos, eventually locating the sect's treasure vault hidden deep underground.
Medusa stepped forward without a word.
Boom!
With a casual punch wreathed in seven-colored Dou Qi, the massive vault door—forged from special metals and layered with formations—was blasted into several pieces.
Afterward, she even turned her head and shot Xiao Jietian a proud little glance, as if saying: *See? Pretty impressive, right?*
Xiao Jietian immediately pulled her soft waist into his arms and kissed her deeply on her rosy lips.
It was brief but intense.
When they separated, he gently patted her perky bottom and said with a smile,
"That's your reward."
"You bad guy… bullying me again!"
Medusa stomped her foot in feigned annoyance, cheeks faintly flushed.
Little Fairy Doctor, standing to the side, covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
"Fei Yan, if you hadn't been smiling just now, I might have actually believed you were angry."
"You too, Xian'er! Teaming up with that bad guy to bully me!"
Medusa immediately pretended to be furious and reached out to grab Little Fairy Doctor.
Little Fairy Doctor dodged nimbly, then—imitating Xiao Jietian—gave Medusa's bottom a light pat.
"Don't tell me… it really does feel good. No wonder Jietian likes patting yours so much."
"Xian'er! You stop right there!"
Medusa's face turned completely red. With a "fierce" expression, she chased after Little Fairy Doctor.
After a few steps, Little Fairy Doctor suddenly stopped, turned around, and whispered mysteriously,
"I'll teach you a way to get revenge on Xiao Jietian. Want to hear it?"
Medusa halted instantly, curiosity piqued.
"Tell me."
"You can give him a son… and then beat his son every day."
Little Fairy Doctor said with an innocent smile, then quickly slipped inside the vault.
Medusa blinked.
"That… actually seems possible. If I can't bully you two, I can still bully your son."
A moment later, her expression changed as realization dawned.
"Wait—that's just bullying myself in the end, isn't it?"
Having finally regained the intellectual high ground, she immediately chased after Little Fairy Doctor.
"You hateful Xian'er! You actually tricked me!"
The two women started playfully chasing each other around Xiao Jietian, giggling and bickering like young girls.
Xiao Jietian watched their antics with a warm smile and made no move to stop them.
The once-cold and majestic Queen Medusa was increasingly letting down her guard among her own people, revealing the lively, adorable side of a girl in love.
Of course, in front of outsiders—anyone outside her sisters and Xiao Jietian—she still maintained her icy, elegant queenly demeanor.
When they had played enough, Xiao Jietian reached out and gently pinched both their cheeks.
"Alright, stop messing around. Time to get serious."
The two immediately retaliated by pinching his cheeks in return, then proudly took the lead and marched inside like brave vanguards.
The three of them continued deeper until they reached a vast, luxurious chamber.
Moonstones embedded in the walls and ceiling illuminated the space as bright as daylight.
Rows of bookshelves stood neatly arranged.
Xiao Jietian went straight to the section holding technique scrolls—mostly Earth-tier Dou Techniques and cultivation methods. One entire shelf contained nearly ten high-quality Earth-tier scrolls alone.
"As expected of a sect that controls an entire city and runs a major auction house. Far wealthier than the reclusive Demon Flame Valley."
Xiao Jietian smiled as he flipped through scroll after scroll.
Though the Black Emperor Sect had more techniques in number, their overall quality was noticeably inferior to Demon Flame Valley's collection.
He turned to look at Little Fairy Doctor and Medusa.
The two women were busy rummaging through a shelf filled with various ornaments, accessories, and functional treasures.
"Fei Yan, this one suits you perfectly. Try it."
"This one is ideal for Yun Yun… this one for Qing Lin… this one for Han Yue…"
Listening to their excited discussion, Xiao Jietian's forehead was covered in black lines.
He suddenly felt like he had spoiled them rotten.
Especially Little Fairy Doctor. The first time they went treasure hunting together, her eyes had sparkled only for rare medicinal herbs. Now her style seemed to have… shifted dramatically.
"What are you staring at? Don't interfere with girl talk. Hurry up and do your own thing."
Medusa noticed his gaze and immediately shot him an arrogant look.
Xiao Jietian gritted his teeth, already planning tonight's "household discipline" session with a very "big stick."
"I think you're thinking something very rude right now."
Medusa narrowed her eyes suspiciously, suddenly feeling a chill run down her spine.
Xiao Jietian ignored her and calmly swept all the valuable scrolls into his storage ring.
He didn't find the Earth-tier Dou Technique *Six-Harmonies Roaming Body Ruler* among them. Most likely someone else had already discovered it and sent it to auction.
He didn't dwell on it. Whether Xiao Yan would obtain it later would simply depend on his own luck.
Next, Xiao Jietian moved to the medicinal herb storage area.
Rows upon rows of rare ingredients greeted him—many of which were extremely difficult to find outside.
Without hesitation, he collected every single rare herb he needed, along with anything useful for alchemy or cultivation. The rest went straight into his storage ring as well.
There was no other choice.
Boundless Heaven Hall was enormous now. Too many people needed support—elders, hall masters, disciples, subordinates. He still had to "thank" the Black Emperor Sect for their generous "contributions" and for securing themselves the top donor spot.
In this treasure vault alone, Xiao Jietian also discovered many other treasures he urgently needed.
His eyes gleamed.
*Tonight's harvest… is quite good.*
