The numerous Xiao Family Elders, hearing the echoing laughter, shed the surprise and shock from their faces.
In its place was deep joy.
They hadn't expected that Young Clan Head Xiao Yun, whom they had always called a waste, had hidden his strength so deeply!
Not only was he a powerhouse at the First Level of the Earthly Martial Realm, but his Battle Intent far surpassed that of the First Level of the Earthly Martial Realm!
They had all wronged Young Clan Head Xiao Yun before!
Xiao Yun retracted his palm, looked around, and spoke faintly.
"Who's next?"
"Step forward quickly, I'm in a hurry!"
As his voice fell, everyone's minds were pulled back.
Mo Tie looked at Xiao Yun, his eyes flickering, lost in thought.
Hua Ming and the powerhouses from the Hua Family and Guan Family, sensing the hostile gazes from Xiao Kuang and the many Xiao Family Elders, couldn't help but move closer to Mo Tie.
"City Lord, what do we do now?"
Xiao Yun's talent was still there, and if the Heavenly Saint Sect powerhouses found out, they would all be finished!
Not to mention, they were currently inside the Xiao Family!
Mo Tie heard this, a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly.
"Although Xiao Yun isn't the rumored waste, but a true Prodigy, the outside world doesn't know about this matter."
"As long as Xiao Yun dies, everything will remain the same as before, with no changes."
"Therefore, today, while Xiao Yiran is not here... we will destroy the Xiao Family, kill Xiao Yun, and seize the heavenly saint token!"
Xiao Yun could easily kill Guan Jiang, a First Level Earthly Martial Realm expert, but he didn't believe he could defeat him, a Sixth Level Earthly Martial Realm expert!
The power of that palm just now was good, but at most, it was only at the Fourth Level of the Earthly Martial Realm.
To him, it was utterly insignificant!
Destroy the Xiao Family, kill Xiao Yun, seize the heavenly saint token!
Hearing these words, Hua Ming and the other Earthly Martial Realm powerhouses felt their hearts tighten.
This decision was vastly different from their original intention when they came; their initial goal was merely the heavenly saint token.
But now, it seemed they had no other choice.
Only by destroying the Xiao Family could they prevent Xiao Yun from growing stronger and causing them trouble in the future!
And only this way could they prevent the Heavenly Saint Sect powerhouses from knowing that Xiao Yun's talent was still present and that he was not the waste rumored!
With a ruthless look, Hua Ming and the other powerhouses responded in agreement.
"We will listen to the City Lord!"
With Mo Tie, a Sixth Level Earthly Martial Realm powerhouse, present, even if their number of powerhouses was inferior to the Xiao Family's.
The final victory would still be theirs!
Hearing Mo Tie and Hua Ming's undisguised discussion, Xiao Kuang, filled with Battle Intent, said in a deep voice.
"All Xiao Family Elders, follow me to protect Young Clan Head Xiao Yun and help him break through the encirclement!"
"As soon as the Grand Elder returns, it will be our time for revenge!"
With that, his Third Level Earthly Martial Realm Cultivation erupted without reservation.
The many Xiao Family Elders heard this and let out long roars.
"Fight! People of the Xiao Family, we will never retreat even unto death!"
As they spoke, powerful Auras erupted, revealing ten strong Auras of the Earthly Martial Realm.
In addition, there were more than ten Auras of the Xuan Wu Realm Peak mixed in.
In the next instant, the many Xiao Family powerhouses moved in unison, blocking Xiao Yun's path.
In the past, they had indeed looked down on this waste Young Clan Head.
But today they understood that their Young Clan Head was not a waste at all, but a true Prodigy!
As long as Xiao Yun did not die, their Xiao Family still had hope!
Xiao Yun looked at the Xiao Family powerhouses blocking him, feeling a warmth in his heart.
Although these Xiao Family Elders had treated him coldly on normal days, at crucial moments, they still stood by his side.
This was their Xiao Family; despite internal strife, they were united against external threats!
Mo Tie saw this and smiled coldly.
"That old fellow Xiao Yiran isn't here, do you really think you can stop me with just yourselves?"
"Today is the day the Xiao Family is annihilated!"
Before his words finished, a powerful pressure, surpassing all the powerhouses present, suddenly erupted.
This was the powerful pressure unique to a Sixth Level Earthly Martial Realm expert!
Hua Ming and the Earthly Martial Realm powerhouses from the other two Families grinned ferociously, immediately unleashing their Cultivation Auras.
Indeed, today was the day the Xiao Family would be annihilated; from now on, Lingyun City would only have their Hua and Guan Families!
The Xiao Family's heavenly saint token would also help their Family's Prodigies enter the Heavenly Saint Sect to Cultivate, soaring to great heights!
Feeling Mo Tie's powerful pressure, Xiao Kuang and the many Xiao Family Elders looked extremely solemn.
Facing Mo Tie, a Sixth Level Earthly Martial Realm expert, they could only delay, not defeat him.
They only hoped that Xiao Yun could use this delay to leave the Xiao Family, or even Lingyun City, the farther the better!
"Yun'er, find the right time later and retreat from here! Go find your grandfather and return for revenge!"
"That's right, Young Clan Head, go as far as you can, and when your Cultivation is profound, come back to avenge us!"
"Young Clan Head, seize the opportunity and run!"
This time, they would use themselves to lay the foundation for the Xiao Family's new glory!
Xiao Yun heard Xiao Kuang and the Elders' resolute words, and he knew he couldn't wait any longer.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
Purple Qi wrapped around Xiao Yun's body as he slowly walked forward, reaching the very front of the many Xiao Family powerhouses, and smiled faintly.
"Father, Elders, I just said that these fellows are nothing but mere chickens and dogs, utterly insignificant."
"If the Xiao Family looks so bad because of a group of mere chickens and dogs, Grandfather will scold me when he returns."
"So, Father, Elders, leave these fellows to me from now on."
"You only need to witness from behind, witness the moment when Lingyun City is left with only my Xiao Family!"
As his voice rang out, a gradually strengthening Cultivation Aura bloomed from Xiao Yun's body.
At first, it was only at the First Level of the Xuan Wu Realm, but gradually, the Third Level of the Xuan Wu Realm... the Fifth Level of the Xuan Wu Realm...
The Peak of the Xuan Wu Realm... the First Level of the Earthly Martial Realm...
Even at the First Level of the Earthly Martial Realm, his Cultivation Aura did not stop growing; instead, it grew even faster.
Soon, the Second Level of the Earthly Martial Realm... the Third Level of the Earthly Martial Realm... the Fourth Level of the Earthly Martial Realm...
Finally, Xiao Yun's Cultivation Aura completely stabilized at the Seventh Level of the Earthly Martial Realm.
And this Seventh Level Earthly Martial Realm Cultivation Aura far surpassed that of ordinary Seventh Level Earthly Martial Realm powerhouses!
With surging purple Qi, Xiao Yun looked at Mo Tie, Hua Ming, and the others, who were already utterly horrified, and spoke faintly.
"Annihilate our Xiao Family? Do you guys even deserve to say such words?"
"Today is not the day my Xiao Family is annihilated, but the day your Hua Family, Guan Family, and the City Lord's Mansion become a thing of the past!"
As he spoke, his palm was raised again, but this time, there were flashes of Thunder Intent.
"Thunder Palm!"
Over the past six years, although his Cultivation could not advance, he had not been idle.
He had Cultivated the Low Grade Profound Rank Thunder Palm to the Perfection level.
Today, he would use these fellows to test the power of the Perfection level Thunder Palm!
"Crackle! Pop!"
"Boom!"
As the purple Qi surged, a thunderous palm print instantly condensed, carrying an Aura that annihilated everything, and descended towards Mo Tie and the powerhouses from the Hua Family and Guan Family.
Along the way, the surrounding walls and ground completely collapsed and shattered.
The already crumbling main hall was instantly destroyed, turning into ruins!
Facing this palm, Mo Tie, Hua Ming, and the others, who had just been grinning ferociously, stood frozen in place.
It wasn't that they didn't want to move, it was that they simply couldn't move!
The power carried by the Thunder Palm print directly suppressed them in place, unable to move!
Everyone's faces were filled with deep fear and confusion.
Seventh Level Earthly Martial Realm?
How was this possible? How could Xiao Yun be a Seventh Level Earthly Martial Realm powerhouse?!!
And this palm of his was not something an ordinary Seventh Level Earthly Martial Realm powerhouse could unleash.
The power of this palm had already transcended the Earthly Martial Realm category!
What on earth happened to Xiao Yun?!
Unfortunately, no one would answer their confusion.
"Rumble!!!"
In the despairing eyes of Mo Tie and the others, the Thunder Palm print smashed down, destroying everything.
A black, bottomless giant pit appeared on the ground.
As for Mo Tie and the others' life Auras, they dissipated the moment the Thunder Palm print fell.
They couldn't have imagined, even in death, how Xiao Yun managed to Breakthrough to the Seventh Level of the Earthly Martial Realm in such a short time.
One must know that, before this, the entire Lingyun City had never possessed a Seventh Level Earthly Martial Realm powerhouse!
"Gulp!"
Xiao Shan, the Second Elder of the Xiao Family, swallowed hard, staring at the dark pit, his face full of disbelief.
City Lord Mo Tie, and the powerhouses of the Hua Family and Guan Family, were all dead?
Just like Guan Jiang, the former Clan Chief of the Guan Family, they were instantly killed by Young Clan Head Xiao Yun's single palm?
The other Xiao Family Elders were not much better off, all looking at Xiao Yun with unfamiliar gazes, their eyes full of disbelief.
When did their Young Clan Head become so powerful?
Seventh Level Earthly Martial Realm, and the kind whose Battle Intent far surpassed that of an ordinary Seventh Level Earthly Martial Realm expert!
Xiao Kuang also looked a bit lost and couldn't help but say.
"Yun'er, this..."
Was this person still his son, Xiao Yun?
He hadn't finished his sentence just now, and now he was completely speechless.
Xiao Yun retracted the purple Qi around his body, turned around, and smiled faintly.
"Father, Yun'er has made you worry these past six years."
"But from now on, I, Xiao Yun, will soar straight to the Peak of Cultivation!"
With the Divine Rank 'Ten Thousand Times Cultivation Talent' entry, combined with the Great Heaven Creation Art.
He had only Cultivated for less than half an hour earlier, and his Cultivation had Breakthrough from the First Level of the Xuan Wu Realm to the Seventh Level of the Earthly Martial Realm, which was incredibly fast.
Although this included the effect of his six years of dormancy and accumulated power.
However, this Cultivation speed destined that in the future, his Cultivation Breakthrough would be as simple as eating and drinking!
What's more, this was only the effect of refreshing one entry; if he refreshed some other Divine Rank entries later...
Xiao Yun didn't even dare to imagine such a thing.
By then, he would surely have no obstacles in this Tai Cang Realm, soaring all the way!
