I'm determined to become an immortal!

Countless tiny water droplets emerged from the surging waves beneath the azure parasol and clung to Elder Xu's robes.

The moment the word "break" was uttered...

These tiny water droplets merged together to form a bubble that enveloped Mr. Xu.

The moment the words were spoken, the bubbles began to collapse inward, and a terrifying burst of power exploded!

Xu Qiancheng's expression changed drastically; he sensed that this power was no less than that of the talisman!

At the critical moment, a snake's shadow appeared on the man's face.

follow closely,

A giant, gleaming python suddenly emerged from his sleeve and coiled around him instantly, causing him to shrink as if he had completely disappeared into the python's fortress of flesh and blood.

next moment,

The bubble burst open with a bang, and the giant serpent was blown to pieces, but at least it was still alive.

From its coiled body, a stream of red light shot into the sky.

It was indeed Elder Xu!

This person was actually preparing to escape from above.

"snort!

Can you escape?

As the cold snort sounded, the azure parasol suddenly accelerated, and the vortex formed by the water waves generated a tremendous suction force.

However, something unexpected happened!

But it turned out that within the red light was not only Old Xu, but also someone who, through some unknown secret technique, had shrunk his body to the size of a dwarf and was now riding on a large rooster with tricolor tail feathers.

"Get lost!"

Xu Qiancheng gave a sharp shout, and a mysterious symbol appeared in both his eyes and the rooster's eyes.

next moment,

Their eyes seemed to merge, and a fierce red light shot out.

boom!

The light was incredibly powerful; wherever it passed, the water instantly evaporated, and after a flash, it struck the azure umbrella directly.

A fist-sized hole was suddenly torn in the umbrella, and the magical artifact immediately became disordered, falling straight down from the sky, while the water waves naturally disappeared without a trace.

"What kind of tactic is this?!"

He Sheng, who was hiding in the shadows, suddenly narrowed his eyes and was greatly alarmed.

He sensed with his divine sense that Elder Xu's attack was no less powerful than the talisman treasure, and it directly destroyed Wan Tao's umbrella!

"This person is only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, yet he can wield such techniques. His strength is formidable; he is Lin Wanrou's capable assistant and must not be allowed to live!"

Upon realizing this, He Sheng did not hesitate for a moment and immediately used the Rippling Water Escape Technique to soar into the sky.

Relying on the speed of water escape, he arrived first after being caught off guard and intercepted the enemy in mid-air. At the same time, he also summoned a top-grade magic artifact - the River Pearl!

Splash...

moment,

Then a blue bead hung high in the sky, and the rolling river water rushed down, covering the head of the dwarf old man who had risen on a rooster.

at the same time,

He Sheng once again used the same method that had previously damaged Xu Lao's consciousness: the Vengeful Soul Seal!

This vengeful spirit seal can not only use resentment to pursue, but also use resentment to launch soul attacks.

This time, however, He Sheng held nothing back.

As he made a hand seal, the vengeful spirit seal that had been hidden in the river and shot down exploded with a bang a few feet away from Old Master Xu!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

...

The continuous shrieks of vengeful spirits, accompanied by streaks of blood, caused Old Xu, who was in mid-air, to freeze in shock.

As the river cascaded down, countless tiny water droplets surged forth, and He Sheng immediately used the Water Gathering Break technique once again.

However, the pre-shaking time before the Gathering Water Break is quite long, always requiring a few breaths to prepare.

But in those few breaths, the situation changed again.

giggle!

But as the rooster soared into the sky, it raised its head and crowed.

As the rooster crowed, the world turned white. The crowing of this colorful rooster caused the bloodshot color to fade from Old Xu's eyes, and he immediately lost more of his essence and blood to wake up from the attack on his soul.

Seeing that the bubble was about to collapse, Old Xu and the colorful rooster once again locked eyes and shot out a fierce red light.

boom!

When water and fire clashed, most of their power was neutralized, but the remaining power exploded with a deafening roar, as if a giant water ball and a fireball were exploding simultaneously in mid-air.

The aftershocks of the explosion directly halted Xu Lao's upward escape, and he and the rooster were thrown into the air and plummeted downwards.

Before he could regain his footing, it got dark!

He Sheng, who was well-prepared, secretly took out Piao Ge's trump card, the talisman "Frosty Yin Palm", while using the River Pearl to unleash the Water Gathering Break again!

This is why, despite his Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivation and the fact that his magical power had been refined by the Mindful Ripples Realm, making him far more powerful than others of the same level, he could still activate the talisman while using his trump card.

Even a typical late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn't do that, even if it meant sacrificing their own essence.

However, the pre-cast time of the talisman was even longer than that of the Gathering Water Break, requiring nearly ten breaths of continuous mana injection.

Just as Old Xu and the big red rooster fell back into the hall, a huge white hand, more than ten feet in size and capable of blotting out the sky, slammed down!

"No!"

Old Xu let out a terrified roar, but the sound was crushed by the giant white hand as soon as it rang out.

Boom!

Under that overwhelming white giant hand, the main hall of Wanzhi Residence was as fragile as paper, instantly turning into ruins.

A biting chill followed closely behind, freezing and crushing all traces.

Still uneasy, He Sheng used the Gathering Water Break technique again, preparing to destroy the evidence in the hall.

On the other side, Wu Feng used the same rope that he had used to capture Ji Yunlai. He then captured the giant snake, which was still barely alive and its skin was torn open, and threw it into the courtyard.

boom!

Amidst the ruins, the Water Gathering Broken Explosion occurred once more.

At this moment, the aura belonging to Old Xu completely dissipated, along with the colorful rooster, and was wiped out completely.

Seeing this, He Sheng quickly cleaned up the battlefield, put away Elder Xu's beast-taming ring and storage bag, and immediately let out a loud shout that echoed throughout the Lower River Branch:

"Xiang'er, what are you standing there for?!"

Old Ghost Xu is dead!

Quickly empty the vault, then loot the remaining valuables from the counter.

He Sheng's voice was like thunder, not only resounding throughout the Xiajiang branch, but also carrying far and wide, mixed with the pressure of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, causing everyone in the entire market to look in the direction of the sound.

......

Where is the thunder? Where is the thunder!

On the second floor of Wanlingzhai, Sheng Changming was dozing off, his legs crossed, leaning back in his chair.

A thunderous sound came from not far away, like a thunderclap exploding in his ears, making him jump up.

As a direct descendant of the main branch of the Sheng family, Sheng Changming, despite his poor spiritual root aptitude and lack of diligence in cultivation (he is almost forty years old and has only barely reached the sixth level of Qi Refining), has always been highly trusted by the clan's patriarch and is now the head manager of Wanlingzhai.

Sheng Changming pushed open the window and saw flames shooting into the sky from the inner courtyard behind the blue stone pavilion across the street!

"So, the Jiang branch... is really in trouble?!"

Sheng Changming was startled.

It turned out that he had returned to the clan yesterday as usual to attend the monthly clan meeting, but he did not expect that after the meeting, the ancestor would keep an eye on the Xiajiang branch opposite Wanlingzhai and report back to the clan immediately if there was any situation.

However, Sheng Changming did not leave immediately. He was an experienced man and knew that if he rushed back without finding out the situation clearly, and the patriarch asked in detail, it would turn a good thing into a bad thing, and merit into nothing.

Therefore, it was observed that waiters were constantly leaving the shop in the Xiajiang branch, each one with a look of panic on their face.

Sheng Changming leaped off the second floor, stumbled to regain his balance, and approached a member of the Xiajiang branch whom he had greeted before, skillfully trying to get information out of him.

Soon, Sheng Changming learned the whole story!

"The weapon-refining master Wu Feng killed Lin Wanrou's personal bodyguard, Elder Xu."

And then, together with Lin Wanrou's personal maid, they completely looted the Xiajiang branch?!

hiss!

Sheng Changming gasped, realizing the gravity of the situation, and immediately rushed out of the market.

As soon as Fang Yi rushed out of the market, Sheng Changming summoned a bronze mirror and flew towards Jinming Valley.

The Sheng family's ancestral land, Jinming Valley, is located in the middle section of the Yinsha River, about two or three hundred miles away from Xiajiangfang.

By the time Sheng Changming rushed back to Jinming Valley on his flying artifact, it was already midnight.

He disregarded everything else, took out the warrant given to him by the patriarch, and went straight into the Hall of Caution where the patriarch resided.

But as soon as they stepped into the courtyard in front of the hall, they heard a fierce argument!
