Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

"Who's there?! How dare you kill someone in my Purple Flame Sect!"

Yang Xiao had made no attempt to conceal his killing, so as the men dropped dead one by one, an enraged voice suddenly rang out.

Immediately after, a red-faced old man wearing a purple robe with gold trim appeared before Yang Xiao.

When he saw the bodies on the ground, especially the young man in the purple robe whom Ma Liu had called Senior Brother Lin, the anger in his heart intensified.

But seeing Yang Xiao's fearless expression, the red-faced old man forcibly suppressed his rage and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you? Why did you kill my Purple Flame Sect's disciples?"

"No reason. I killed them simply because they're scum."

Yang Xiao replied indifferently.

In his heart, however, he sneered. 'Weren't these the guys who called others scum, saying they could kill them whenever they wanted?'

'Now, I'll give them a taste of their own medicine and see what they have to say.'

"You're saying... they're scum?"

As expected, the red-faced old man's expression changed in an instant.

"Yeah. Aren't they?"

"You! Do you have any idea?! They were all noble Immortal Cultivators! Those people next to you, they're the real worthless scum, understand?"

The red-faced old man roared.

But Yang Xiao just shrugged nonchalantly and said, "In my eyes, they're the scum. These people here are the noble Human Race, the future hope of our people. What's wrong? Are you the only ones allowed to declare others scum? Can't others call you scum too?"

"You! I understand now. You're a Loose Cultivator! Hmph, no wonder you're sticking up for this scum. You're all the same, worthless! You have no heritage, you just stumble upon some Cultivation Technique by chance, and you don't even know what a Spirit Seed is, do you? You worthless cultivator! Today, I will teach you what a Spirit Seed is! Only those who possess a Spirit Seed are noble! Without a Spirit Seed, all of you Loose Cultivators, and all this scum, are just a pile of trash! Wastes who can never enter the Immortal Realm! Wastes who can never become a True Immortal!"

If Yang Xiao's previous attitude and actions had made the red-faced old man unsure of his background and hesitant to attack...

Then now...

The red-faced old man understood completely.

This guy before him was just a Loose Cultivator. Only a Loose Cultivator would speak up for such scum.

That being the case...

The red-faced old man snorted coldly. "I don't know what despicable means you used to kill my Purple Flame Sect disciples, but with me here, none of your tricks will work. If you know what's good for you, you'll surrender quietly. Hand over your origins and your legacy. Otherwise, when I make my move, it won't be pleasant for you!"

"Another Immortal Dao dog, as expected! And a greedy old dog, at that! A shame you're destined only to bark. You think you can touch me? You're not worthy."

Yang Xiao sneered.

His aura flared, and he prepared to strike.

But at that very moment, the man he had just protected and saved suddenly ran out.

He knelt on the ground.

It looked like he was about to beg the red-faced old man for mercy.

This made Yang Xiao's heart, which had just been ready to strike, sink in an instant.

'Did I misjudge this guy?'

"Zi Tian Immortal Master, this is all my fault! It has nothing to do with this Junior Immortal Master! It's all because of my lowliness that these misunderstandings occurred! I beg you, Zi Tian Immortal Master, for the sake of my daughter, Tianling Immortal Master, please let this Junior Immortal Master go! I am willing to atone with my death! I only ask that you spare this Junior Immortal Master!"

After speaking, the man began to kowtow desperately to the red-faced old man.

One after another.

It was as if each impact was landing on his own heart.

It left Yang Xiao completely stunned.

At the same time, he was also a little confused.

'This man is loyal and righteous. It's a shame these Immortal Dao dogs have beaten him down to this state, stripping him of all self-respect to the point where he even thinks of himself as a lowly person. And what's this about Tianling Immortal Master? His daughter became an Immortal Cultivator. Shouldn't it be a case of 'when one attains the Dao, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven'? Why is it like this?'

However, Yang Xiao didn't have to wonder for long.

Because the red-faced old man quickly cleared up his confusion.

"So it's you? Now I remember. Back then, your son and daughter both underwent the Spirit Seed inheritance. Your daughter, Tianling, successfully received the Guiding Spirit Seed, but your son failed. At the time, Nephew Tianling said that as long as you killed your worthless son with your own hands, you and your wife could enter our Purple Flame Sect with her and become her servants. A pity you didn't agree. What, are you trying to use your connection to Nephew Tianling now? Don't you think it's a little late?"

The red-faced old man said with a cold, contemptuous sneer.

"I..."

The man was speechless.

Meanwhile, Yang Xiao, standing to the side, was about to explode with rage.

'What kind of creatures are these Immortal Cultivators? They're worse than beasts.'

'As a daughter, she would force her own father to kill his son, her own brother. And even then, it would only qualify them to be her servants.'

'And in the eyes of this red-faced old man, such a twisted mentality was actually seen as perfectly normal.'

Yang Xiao felt that he had been giving them too much credit by calling them 'Immortal Dao dogs.'

They were worse than dogs!

"Alright, it's useless to keep begging me. Besides, I've heard Nephew Tianling say she regrets not having killed you all back then. Now that you've fallen into my hands, I can kill you directly and save Nephew Tianling the trouble of worrying about it. As for you, you lowly Loose Cultivator, have you made up your mind? Will you resist stubbornly, or will you surrender obediently?"

"Surrender? You things that don't even have a shred of humanity, you think you're worthy?"

Yang Xiao could not hold back any longer.

With a flash, his figure appeared before the red-faced old man—the so-called Zi Tian Immortal Master—and he moved to shield the man who had been pleading for him.

He didn't want the man to get caught in the crossfire once the fight began.

"What? A mere True Tier Cultivator like you really wants to fight me?"

The red-faced old man was furious.

He felt that he had been humiliated.

But this time, Yang Xiao didn't say another word.

He raised his hand and jabbed a finger forward.

The Gathering Essence Finger, which he hadn't used in a very long time, was unleashed once more.

This guy in front of him was merely an Immortal Cultivator at the Fifth and Sixth Level of the Magic Tier, equivalent to the Small Divine Power Realm Fourth and Fifth Layer. Even a casual strike from Yang Xiao would have been enough to finish him.

And yet he had used the Gathering Essence Finger.

Before the red-faced old man could even react, Yang Xiao's finger struck him between the eyes.

Instantly.

He fell to the ground.

A large hole had split open between his brows.

He couldn't be any more dead.

"Ah! Zi Tian Immortal Master, he... Junior Immortal Master, quick, you have to run! The Purple Flame Sect is one of the three most powerful factions in the Eastern Domain! They say they have an incredibly powerful Immortal Master presiding over them, one who is almost an Immortal! You may be powerful, Junior Immortal Master, but you're no match for them! You should get out of here, don't worry about us..."

The man once again tried to persuade Yang Xiao.

But Yang Xiao simply held him in place.

He smiled faintly. "They can't do anything to me. Just watch. I'm going to kill every last one of them!"

Hearing this, the man was utterly dumbfounded.

Before he could recover and try to persuade Yang Xiao again, dozens of powerful auras descended upon them, surging with aggressive intent.
