Chapter 1: When the father suffers humiliation, the son must avenge him

  "Off you go, my little darlings, enjoy your feast." The Grand Master's face revealed a hint of an evil smile, his eyes gleaming with coldness. With a sudden flick, the numerous female ghosts and spirits inside the black banner suddenly let out a shrill cry and rushed towards the convoy.

  "Oh no, it's a monster!"

  "Ghosts! Run quickly, they have someone who practices witchcraft."

  "Spare our lives, spare our lives! We absolutely did not intentionally offend you."

  But no matter how they struggled, as soon as the female ghost pounced on them, one by one, their faces twisted in agony, wailing and rolling around, looking like they were in unbearable pain.

  "Xuan Zhen Shifu, let's take action! This person is obviously an evil cultivator at first glance. As righteous cultivators, we can't just stand by and do nothing!" The young man who spoke earlier said urgently, his eyes blazing with fire.

  Wang Ziyang stood to one side, his mouth curling into a cold smile as he said calmly, "We have come here today for only one purpose: to kill that little witch. Be careful what you say, Zhang Jiexian." At this moment, Wang Ziyang's temperament was calm and steady, without the slightest hint of the flustered and reckless demeanor he had shown yesterday.

  "Zi Yang, you are right. You are not allowed to move recklessly. The lives of a few hundred ordinary people are nothing compared to our great plan for revenge. Just wait patiently here until we have killed the Demon Queen and then we can come back and avenge these ordinary people. Moreover, remember that killing one Demon Queen can save countless innocent lives. You must weigh what is important and what is not! Xuan Zhen's face was cold and stern as he rebuked them."

  "Hmph, a group of soft-hearted trash. If it weren't for the fact that I've spent so much effort raising you since you were young, I wouldn't even bother with you! Hmph, once the witch is killed, I'll just shift all the blame onto these few people. After taking care of you for so many years, it's about time you repay me." The old man's eyes flashed with a fierce glint as he exchanged a glance with Prince Wang, before quickly returning to normal.

  "Seize yin and supplement yang! Fierce soul flag! Evil dao cultivator!" Xiao Chen's eyes were icy cold, his words slow and deliberate, a fierce killing intent raging wildly in his heart.

  But at this moment, there was one person who acted faster than him.

  "A cultivator like you actually exists, you're going to die!" Li Xiaoyi's face turned bright red with rage, her eyes flashing coldly as she appeared in front of the carriage team in an instant, a spiritual artifact shining brightly in her hand as she charged towards the great priest.

  "Practitioner of the Dao!" The Grand Master was startled at the sight, a few shades of panic flashing across his face. With a flash of dark light on his body, he produced a golden silk handkerchief-like treasure to protect himself.

  Boom!

  A loud crash, the spiritual instrument in Li Xiao Yi's hand was clearly of high quality, and from the aura emitted, it seemed to be a top-grade spiritual instrument. The golden silk handkerchief offered by the great priest, on the other hand, was far inferior, let out a mournful cry, and the spirit light dissipated, only to crash directly to the ground.

  The Grand Master broke out in a cold sweat, if that attack had added just three more points of force, he would probably be dead by now. A dark light flashed on his body, and the man quickly retreated backwards.

  "How many of you are here? You and I have no grudges between us, why did you suddenly attack me!"

  "Hmph, for the sake of personal desires, massacring ordinary people, since I've encountered this kind of thing, I naturally can't ignore it!" Li Xiaoyi's face was cold and stern, his hand threw out a spiritual instrument, and in the flash of light, it transformed into a five-zhang long dragon with horns on its head and no feet under its belly, shaking its head and rushing straight towards the great offering.

  Transformation, originally one of the divine abilities that only a magic treasure could possess. The spiritual instrument on Li Xiaoyi's hand can actually transform, and it is obviously a peak existence among top-grade spiritual instruments. It's probably enough to rival some low-grade magic treasures in power.

  At this moment, Li Xiao Yi burst out with a hint of anger, her cultivation base was fully unleashed, and it actually reached the early stage of foundation building. Coupled with the extreme-grade spiritual instrument in her hand, even if someone's cultivation base was one or two levels higher than hers, she might still have the power to fight back.

  At this moment, Li Xiao Yi made a mighty move, and suddenly the vengeful spirits rose up in a big way, with a look of horror on his face.

  "Lethal soul flag, explode!" In this critical moment, this person was indeed a ruthless and decisive individual, without hesitation, he self-destructed the spiritual instrument that nourished his mind.

  Lethal Soul Banner, one of the most famous treasures in the Ghost Path. The initial materials for refining it are not precious, but as the holder's cultivation increases and the number of souls inside the banner grows, it can be continuously upgraded by adding more materials. Legend has it that a powerful demon cultivator from 10,000 years ago cultivated a Lethal Soul Banner from the beginning of his practice into a hundred million Lethal Soul Banners, with unparalleled power. With a wave of his hand, a hundred million lethal souls would fill the sky and cover the sun, leaving no one able to catch up!

  At this moment, the mighty soul flag of the great sacrifice is still not in its prime, but under self-destruction, its power is quite extraordinary.

  "Wow! Wow! Wow!"

  A ghostly face shattered into fragments, transforming into a stream of pure yin energy that swept out horizontally.

  The Great Offering Refining Spirit Tool was destroyed, and the divine consciousness suffered a severe injury. A mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out from his mouth. However, Li Xiaoyi's fatal blow was also blocked by this self-destructive power.

  "Fellow Taoist, there's no need to fight over a few ordinary people. If you spare my life today, I'll reward you handsomely." The Grand Master's face turned pale, his cultivation was only at the 7th layer of Qi Refining, and although he had several stolen treasures from the sect on him, his strength was insufficient, and he would eventually be killed by Li Xiaoyi. At this moment, he begged for mercy repeatedly.

  Li Xiaoyi's face also turned slightly pale, and the fierce soul banner's self-explosion power was not trivial, making his chest feel somewhat suffocated.

  "Enough idle chatter, today I will surely cut you down right here!"

  Having missed twice in a row, Li Xiaoyi finally felt a few points of impatience in his heart. He input several times more spiritual power into the spiritual instrument than before, and a low roar sounded. The instrument instantly transformed into a giant dragon over ten feet long, with great spirituality, let out a loud roar, opened its mouth and swallowed the Great Sacrifice.

  "Even if I die, you will absolutely pay the price!" The Grandmaster's eyes flashed with a hint of ferocity as he reached into his storage bag and pulled out a pink orb. "Others may not know your true identity, but can you still deceive me? Since you want me to die, I'll make sure you don't have a good ending either."

  A flash of resentment and venom in his eyes, the high priest waved his hand and threw out the sphere, muttering incantations.

  "Emotion-Pearl, give me boom boom boom boom!"

  Bang!

  As the sound fell, the pink pearl suddenly shattered and cracked open, and a sweet-scented fragrance of red powder instantly spread out. After the fragrance appeared, more than half of it quickly wrapped around Li Xiaoyi, while some scattered in all directions, drifting into the crowd.

  "Emotion Desire Pearl!" Li Xiao Yi's face changed instantly, and his eyes revealed a few points of fear, apparently having some understanding of the Emotion Desire Pearl.

  His figure quickly retreated, and he threw out a series of spells with his hands. A very inconspicuous jade pendant on his body shook violently, releasing a layer of orange-yellow light to envelop him.
