#16 - Piaomiao Peak declares war on the Wannian Imperial Clan

Chu Ran's eyes, the aura emanating from his body.

That instant caused a sudden palpitation in the heart of the dignified City Lord.

That's right.

In that instant, he was actually afraid!

He, the dignified City Lord of Tianyang City, a Xuan Wang realm cultivator, was actually experiencing fear towards a young man from a small village?

(PS: Qi Refining Realm, Body Refining Realm, Mind Aperture Realm, Divine Power Realm, Xuan Heaven Realm, Xuan Wang Realm, Law Realm, Domain Realm, Divine Sea Realm, Heavenly Venerate Realm, Divine Emperor Realm, Heavenly Dao Realm, each realm from first to tenth order, breaking the Heavenly Dao leads to Immortal Emperor.)

As for Chu Ran, he had long since discovered through clues that the people who slaughtered Qingyun Village were sent by the City Lord of Tianyang City.

Therefore, killing one Li Ming was not enough for him.

He wanted to kill the City Lord of Tianyang City to avenge the villagers.

He was the one who volunteered to recount the entire process.

All for the sake of being able to stand before the City Lord.

Suddenly, the Spirit Restriction Talisman behind Chu Ran flew out.

And from his body, a powerful surge of spiritual power erupted.

He instantly drew the sword from a soldier beside him and thrust it towards the City Lord.

Everything happened in an instant.

The City Lord was startled by the power Chu Ran unleashed, but after all, he was a Xuan Wang realm expert.

"A petty trick."

The City Lord released his Xuan Wang realm aura and reached out to block Chu Ran's sudden attack.

But Chu Ran, using all his strength, was unable to get close in the slightest.

Subsequently, the City Lord struck Chu Ran's shoulder with a palm.

Pfft—

Chu Ran spat out a mouthful of blood and flew away.

The City Lord patted his clothes and said coldly: "You actually thought you could kill this City Lord? This Chu Ran is also a beast of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, kill him."

"Yes!"

Chu Ran lay on the ground, covered in blood, his eyes flashing with sinister intent.

He had failed.

Everything had been successful.

In this final step, he still hadn't anticipated that the City Lord was actually a Xuan Wang realm cultivator!

He thought he was only in the Xuan Heaven realm!

That's what he had heard!

If the City Lord had been in the Xuan Heaven realm, he would have succeeded!

Chu Ran gritted his teeth, clenching his fists tightly.

"Father… Mother, sister, Village Chief, everyone…"

"Chu Ran is useless, unable to avenge you…"

Just as the crowd was preparing to kill him.

A terrifying aura suddenly erupted.

"Divine Sea Realm!"

The City Lord revealed a look of shock.

Xiao Li walked over step by step.

She glanced at Chu Ran on the ground, relieved.

Thankfully, thankfully, she was almost too late.

"Who are you?"

The City Lord looked at Xiao Li warily.

"Oh, I'm here to take him away," Xiao Li said, pointing to Chu Ran on the ground.

Chu Ran turned his head, looking with difficulty at Xiao Li beside him.

In that instant, it was as if a ray of light suddenly illuminated the darkness.

"Young lady, this boy is a member of the Heavenly Ghost Sect and has a murder case on his hands."

"A member of the Heavenly Ghost Sect? But there's no aura of any evil arts on him," Xiao Li said.

"That's because he concealed his aura."

Xiao Li blinked her eyes: "Oh, you mean, a Divine Power realm cultivator can conceal his aura in front of a Divine Sea realm cultivator, right?"

The City Lord's expression instantly became extremely ugly.

"Can you get up?"

Xiao Li looked down at Chu Ran and asked.

"Cough cough."

Chu Ran covered his chest and slowly stood up.

"Thank you for your kindness, young lady."

Saying that, a determined look flashed in Chu Ran's eyes: "Please, young lady, do me a favor and hold back the others, I will fight this dog thief to the death."

"No, you can't beat him."

Chu Ran gripped the sword in his hand tightly: "Then I will die here!"

Xiao Li became a little anxious.

"Then what will it take for you to come with me?" Xiao Li asked.

Chu Ran stared at the City Lord: "Kill him!"

After speaking, a black aura surged from Chu Ran's body, and his momentum rapidly increased.

The City Lord was just about to say something.

Xiao Li directly slapped the City Lord from a distance.

This palm sent him flying dozens of meters away.

He was obviously dead beyond dead.

"Alright, can we leave now?" Xiao Li said.

Chu Ran: "…"

… …

Eighth Heaven.

Piaomiao Peak.

"Daughter! Daughter!"

Sect Master Wang Yuanzong looked at the corpse of his daughter Wang Zhiyin in disbelief.

Inside the main hall, the other experts also had shocked expressions.

The daughter of their Piaomiao Peak Sect Master had actually been killed?

Along with her was also the dignified Elder Nanshan of the Heavenly Dao Realm!

That was a Heavenly Dao Realm cultivator!

Even a tenth-order Heavenly Dao Realm cultivator.

A being whose one foot had already stepped into the Immortal Emperor realm!

"Who did it! Who did it!" Wang Yuanzong roared with murderous intent.

The others didn't dare to speak.

"Reporting to the Sect Master."

The only surviving expert from the Piaomiao Peak side of the Ye family said: "Xu Family, Xu Fengqiu!"

"What!?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

"Xu Fengqiu? He actually killed the young lady? Has he gone mad?"

"This Xu family is very strong, but our Piaomiao Peak is not weak either, how dare he?"

"He's simply a madman! Does he really think he can do whatever he wants just because he became an Immortal Emperor at a young age? He's simply outrageous, outrageous! A scoundrel!"

"This Xu Fengqiu, he's not even as good as Ye Feng, he's just a good-for-nothing with a background and cultivation, lawless!"

"… …"

Wang Yuanzong clenched his fists tightly, his face full of resentment, and then looked at the expert:

"Tell me in detail the cause and effect."

After the expert finished speaking about the cause and effect, everyone was even more angry.

"Just because the young lady said a few insulting words to him? He's simply outrageous! If it were someone else, that would be fine, but who is the young lady? Does he know that she's the daughter of my Piaomiao Peak Sect Master, and he still dares to do this?"

"A dignified Immortal Emperor went to the First Heaven to kill people, verbally agreed to spare his life for Ye Feng, but still killed him, narrow-minded, vengeful, this person is simply a disgrace to my martial arts world, a disgrace to the Immortal Emperor realm!"

"Lacking in vision, lacking the heart of an Immortal Emperor, hmph! Those who don't understand all think that his achievement of becoming an Immortal Emperor at the age of twenty-eight is heaven-defying, but who among us doesn't know that this is the result of the Xu family pouring all their resources into forcibly building him up, he's just a medicine jar."

"… …"

Wang Yuanzong trembled all over, gritted his teeth and asked: "What else did he say?"

"He said… He said…"

"Speak!" Wang Yuanzong roared.

"He said that the young lady insulted him first, and ordered Sect Master you to take people to the Xu family within three days to kneel and apologize, otherwise… otherwise…"

"Otherwise what!"

"Otherwise… he would slaughter Piaomiao Peak."

Bang—

Wang Yuanzong shattered the table with a palm strike.

"What a Xu Fengqiu, what a Xu family! Do they really think it's still the Xu family from ten thousand years ago? I'm so angry! Issue an order to the world, within three days, if the Xu family doesn't hand over Xu Fengqiu's life, my Piaomiao Peak will declare war with the entire sect!"

"This…"

Everyone exchanged glances.

To be honest.

They were angry, but were they really going to start a war with the Xu family?

Piaomiao Peak was indeed very strong.

The Xu family had indeed declined.

But, Piaomiao Peak facing the Xu family, basically, they really didn't have a chance of winning.

"Sect Master, is it too rash?" an elder asked.

"Yes, Sect Master, do not act impulsively, this matter should be considered carefully."

"This battle concerns the survival of my Piaomiao Peak."

"… …"

Wang Yuanzong's eyes narrowed: "Consider carefully? My daughter has been killed, if Piaomiao Peak doesn't show some response, do we still have any face? Do we still have any dignity? Does anyone else have any objections? Speak up!"

No one dared to speak.

Wang Yuanzong: "Issue my order, declare war on the Xu family!"

"Yes!"
