Song Donglai was restless inwardly, while fear gleamed in his eyes. The Lian Family was indeed under the Occult Sect and they looked like they did things in a just and correct way, yet they secretly committed evil and wicked deeds behind the scenes. It was something that he and his two brothers were very aware of.

He still remembers the members of the Lian Family he has killed in the past. Some of them used demonic tools to commit their atrocious inhumane deeds. Song Donglai then inhaled deeply to calm down his restlessness and sneered back, “Who’ll live or die today is still hard to say now!”

“Do you think we are afraid of you since you’ve set up a trap here?” shouted Lian Bai as he ferociously laughed, “Where are those two fuckers beside you? Ao Wei and Gong Quan? Make them roll out too!”

Not far away from them, Gong Quan came with a dozen of his confidants. Yet he didn’t even spare a glance to the aggressive and threatening Lian Bai’s group, and kept observing and sensing the air fluctuations in the surroundings with full vigilance. For him, the hidden assassin he just encountered was the most dangerous existence.

Halfway up the hillside.

Tang Xiu wore a profound expression and his eyes kept lingering on the Lian Family. Several hundreds of meters of distance were not far to him, and he could sense that the surrounding temperature drop all of a sudden right as these people arrived. It was like there was some hidden death qi coming from the Lian Family’s direction.

Is it the Ghost race, the resentful specters, or one who has cultivated a ghost cultivation technique?

It never occurred to him that such an interesting matter would present itself to him; after all, he was only here to watch and observe the battle. All that which has been unfolded piqued his interest as to what other existences Earth had. Not only has he found the traces of immortals and the legacies they left behind, but now has also encountered such a rich death qi. Could it be that a ghost race cultivation technique also exists on Earth?

Xue Yu, who stood beside Tang Xiu, also watched as the two sides drew their weapons and aimed them at each other. She then asked, “Tang Xiu, which side do you think is more powerful?”

“Dong Donglai and his people will definitely die this time if there’s no unforeseen accident,” answered Tang Xiu.

“Is it because of those two old men?” asked Xue Yu in surprise.

“That’s right.” Tang Xiu nodded and explained, “I’ve seen the ancestors of some families under the Occult Sect. They’re so decrepit and just half a step from their grave, yet they possess horrifying strength. Nearly all of them are martial artists who have embarked on the cultivation path. Although most of them don’t have any cultivation techniques, making it nearly impossible to break through the Foundation Establishment stage, many of them could still contend with those at the Foundation Establishment Stage just by their Qi Refining Stage cultivation.”

“So, are you really not going to help Boss Song?” asked Xue Yu.

“No.” Tang Xiu shook his head and said, “Song Donglai actually possesses great talent—he reached the martial art grandmaster level at less than 50 years old. It’s not an easy feat to achieve. This time, he wants to take advantage of the Blood Python Array to chance upon the opportunity with his two brothers—an endeavor they must only rely on themselves with, no less.”

Xue Yu didn’t ask again, yet she was mulling over some thoughts inside her mind.

Tang Xiu turned to look at her and said again, “Do you think I should help him because I, at least, are familiar with him?”

“Yeah, he’s very respectful to you.” Xue Yu nodded.

Tang Xiu shook his head and said, “There was once a time when countless people respected me. Those who once begged for my help were too many to count, just like the school of fishes that cross the river. I also could have saved countless people if I wanted to, yet I just watched them die. It’s not that I have a heart made of stone, but it was because the Heavenly Dao is merciless and ruthless. Ever since I set my foot on the cultivation path, I’ve been struggling and fighting on my own—though of course, there have been some exceptions to the case, regardless.”

“Which exceptions?” asked Xue Yu.

Tang Xiu smiled and said, “They are those whom I care about. Even if they are cripples or the so-called dregs on the cultivation path and are unwilling to get into danger, I will always help them. I’ll provide them all the cultivation techniques, resources, and experiences. I’ll also guarantee their safety.”

“I suddenly feel that I’m very lucky,” said Xue Yu softly.

“You know, luck is oftentimes an important factor in success,” said Tang Xiu with a chuckle.

In Green Lake Agricola.

The Lian Family’s ancestor, Lian Wenxin, slowly walked to Lian Bai’s side and likewise, watched the people in front of him as though they were already dead. He slowly took out some black ink from his green long robe and said in a grim voice, “What a waste of a quarrel, using just words. Just annihilate all the enemies today and don’t delay their move to reincarnation.”

Lian Bai unsheathed his saber and shouted ferociously, “KILL THEM ALL!”

Dozens of meters away, Boss Huang and his more than 20 henchmen were originally harboring the thought of watching the fun, even though they were also a bit restless. However, when the Lian Family’s ancestor spoke, a chilling current seeped into their mind, sending a chill down their spines.

The combat between martial artists always involved the glints and flashes of cold steel with a foul wind and a rain of blood in its wake. When arms were flying and blood splashing and the two sides suffered casualties and injuries during the fight, Boss Huang and his henchmen felt as though they were falling into ice holes, filled by a fear that nearly made them scream out.

Li Qiang suddenly grabbed Boss Huang and said in a pressed voice, “Boss, tell your men to help my cousin quickly! Otherwise, the other party will probably not let us leave if he gets defeated.”

Boss Huang was hardly able to turn head as he looked at Li Qiang with a face full of fear, saying, “These people… are from the martial world! How can I help them? Don’t tell me you want me to send them to their deaths?”
