Xiao Lingchen's body radiated with golden light.

  He pushed the Divine Movement Step to its utmost, retreating rapidly with the threefold acceleration of the Fuguang Jade Mirror Sundial.

  At the same time, a mass of thunderclouds was accumulating madly above his head.

  In no time, the thunderclouds had covered the entire sky, with bolts of lightning surging and roaring like silver dragons.

  As He Nanru and the others launched their attack, the thunder in the sky descended with the swing of the Phoenix Emperor Sword!

  Anger of the Thunder!

  "Boom!!!"

  Countless divine powers and thunder exploded simultaneously, echoing through the heavens.

  The endless might and destructive force seemed to blast this entire space apart.

  Xiao Lingchen and He Nanru, along with the others, were blown away by this terrifying power!

  "Cough, cough..."

  He Nanru spat out blood, his body wounded in multiple places.

  He looked at the devastated battlefield before him, his heart filled with shock.

  "This guy is truly terrifying!"

  "Who would have thought he had such powerful means, capable of severely injuring so many Dao Palace Realm experts like us!"

  "If he grows any further, none of us will be his match."

  "Yes, but for now, we shouldn't have to worry."

  The group let out a long sigh of relief.

  The battle was finally over.

  However, in the next second.

  A bad premonition suddenly rose in their hearts.

  Almost instinctively, they turned their heads, nearly collapsing to the ground.

  Xiao Lingchen had somehow appeared behind them.

  At this moment, Xiao Lingchen was enveloped in a faint golden light, and the blood-red sword in his hand exuded a terrifying aura that seemed to pierce the heavens!

  He Nanru and the others felt their scalps tingle, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their bodies chilled to the bone.

  This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

  "This... how is it possible!"

  He knew better than anyone the power of their combined strike just now.

  Even a Breaking Illusions Realm expert would not dare to take it head-on!

  And Xiao Lingchen?

  He took a strike that even a Breaking Illusions Realm expert wouldn't dare to face, and remained unscathed!

  To him, this was simply inconceivable!

  They hurriedly tried to get up and flee.

  But.

  It was too late!

  Xiao Lingchen swung the Phoenix Emperor Sword without hesitation, slashing towards them!

  "Slash!!!"

  With one strike, the nearest person's head was severed instantly!

  Another strike, and two family patriarchs who had just stood up were cut in half by Xiao Lingchen.

  "No!"

  "This is impossible!"

  "How can you not be dead? This is absolutely impossible!"

  The previous strike had already exhausted all their spiritual power.

  Now they couldn't resist, nor could they escape.

  They could only face endless despair as Xiao Lingchen killed them one by one!

  He Nanru's legs were also severed, and he fell to the ground, screaming in agony:

  "Ah!!!"

  "Xiao Lingchen!!"

  "You should..."

  Xiao Lingchen grabbed He Nanru by the neck, lifting him like a chick, and asked:

  "Tell me, why did you attack my Xiao Family back then?"

  He Nanru struggled to say:

  "Because... because someone wants your Xiao Family destroyed!"

  Upon hearing this, Xiao Lingchen's eyes narrowed:

  "Who?"

  He Nanru's face was full of dread:

  "I... I can't say..."

  "Please..."

  "Crack!"

  As soon as He Nanru finished speaking, Xiao Lingchen mercilessly snapped his neck.

  He had no patience for nonsense.

  If he wouldn't talk, then he would die.

  As for who the mastermind was, Xiao Lingchen planned to visit the Tianyan Sect to investigate.

  Four months ago, the siege was led by the City Lord's Mansion and the Tianyan Sect together.

  So within the Tianyan Sect, he would surely find the information he wanted!

  Xiao Lingchen's eyes narrowed: "Tianyan Sect, and the one behind wanting to destroy my Xiao Family, I won't let any of you go."

  And now.

  After collecting the storage rings from these people, Xiao Lingchen headed deeper into the Secret Realm again.

  Being delayed by this group for so long, who knows how many opportunities he had missed!

  Xiao Lingchen's heart bled at the thought.

  The scene that had just unfolded was witnessed by many.

  All of them were shocked by Xiao Lingchen's formidable methods, silently etching his appearance into their minds, remembering not to provoke him in the future.

  ...

  This ancient sect was composed of eighteen main peaks, each covering a vast area, stretching for miles!

  With the Divine Movement Step and the Fuguang Jade Mirror Sundial's support.

  It took Xiao Lingchen a full quarter of an hour to reach the core area of the Secret Realm, the heart of the ancient sect.

  The spiritual qi here was noticeably denser than the outer areas.

  Walking here felt like traversing a marsh of spiritual qi.

  Some cultivators, disliking competition, chose to sit and cultivate here.

  As for those with a bit of ambition, most had already fallen in pools of blood.

  Xiao Lingchen didn't linger here for long.

  He headed straight for the Back Mountain of the ancient sect.

  Earlier, in Su Su's courtyard, Li Muyun had secretly told Xiao Lingchen a secret.

  That secret was the location of the Sect Master's Cave Abode in this ancient sect.

  Since it was the Sect Master's Cave Abode, it was also the foundation of the entire ancient sect.

  Especially the Heaven Grade Divine Artifact, the Cauldron of Fate, which was highly likely to be hidden in the Sect Master's Cave Abode!

  That was Xiao Lingchen's main goal for this trip.

  According to Li Muyun's instructions, combined with the map he had seen from Luo Xingxing earlier.

  Soon, Xiao Lingchen arrived at a mountain separate from the eighteen main peaks!

  This mountain was steep as if carved by a knife, suspended in the sky, shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, hidden within.

  If not for Li Muyun's guidance, not to mention Xiao Lingchen, any other person would likely be unable to find it!

  Here, lush trees provided shade, and various exotic flowers and herbs adorned the surroundings.

  Upon reaching the mountain, the view suddenly opened up.

  Here, one could overlook the entire ancient sect's undulating mountains and winding rivers, with the sky above seemingly within reach.

  Not far away was a Cave Abode set with a Restraining Spell.

  However, due to its age, the spell was already on the verge of collapse, and Xiao Lingchen easily broke it with a wave of his hand, entering inside.

  At this moment.

  Xiao Lingchen's eyes lit up.

  In this vast Cave Abode, all sorts of heavenly materials and treasures were everywhere.

  On the left was a medicinal field filled with a rich aroma, planted with various spiritual herbs and medicines.

  On the right was a pool of unnamed spiritual liquid, emitting a misty aura.

  In a nearby cabinet, neatly arranged were some ancient texts, containing divine powers and cultivation methods.

  Xiao Lingchen accepted everything without hesitation, sweeping all he could into his storage ring.

  This time.

  Xiao Lingchen's wealth was overflowing!

  At this moment.

  Xiao Lingchen's chest suddenly felt hot.

  He immediately took out the Heaven and Earth Mirror from his bosom.

  The Heaven and Earth Mirror emitted a ray of light, pointing in a forward direction.

  Previously, the Heaven and Earth Mirror had behaved this way, leading Xiao Lingchen to discover the Blazing Red Lotus.

  Now, the Heaven and Earth Mirror had evidently found another treasure!
