I just want to kill you all, or be killed by you all.

More than one!

Li Yang looked up, but he couldn't see anything.

Yet, one could sense several powerful auras descending upon the gates of the Xuan Tian Sword Sect.

Without a doubt, the elders of the geniuses he killed must have come knocking on his door.

Those prodigies who perished in the Yongning County incident generally had significant backgrounds.

This matter not only involves their own development prospects, but more importantly, the power that Ning Qingfeng represents and the benefits that their respective backgrounds and strengths can bring.

"You have come from afar with great fanfare. Is it only because a junior has died in a fight that you, seniors, have to come in person to punish me?"

A strange, sarcastic voice came from Xuantian Peak, where the patriarch of the Xuantian Sword Sect cultivated.

He deliberately emphasized the word "junior".

"This is the territory of Kunzhou, not Qianzhou. Your Xuantian Sword Sect has interfered in the affairs of Yongning County, ruining our plans and already overstepping your bounds. Now you are even condoning your disciples' wanton slaughter, harming our descendants!"

Another old woman's voice, filled with resentment, said: "Your sect's Li Yang is a bloodthirsty monster who harmed my grandson and has fallen into demonic ways. If you don't hand him over, the Xuantian Sword Sect will never have peace again!"

Faced with the threat, the patriarch of the Xuantian Sword Sect scoffed:

"Since you feel this is unfair, you may submit a petition to the Dao Alliance. Even if you wish to use insidious methods to intercept and kill those of our sect traveling outside, that is entirely your prerogative. However—"

His tone shifted abruptly, becoming icy: "Don't forget, my Xuantian Sword Sect is not one to be bullied! If pushed too far, these sword madmen may simply abandon their Kunzhou base. But then, the one who will take over the Xuantian Sword Sect will be me, Boss Xuanyuan! At that time, don't beg us to stop and make peace!"

Upon hearing this, the voices outside the sect fell silent.

a long time--

"We know that your sect's plan to eliminate the two demon lords of the Six Desires and Seven Emotions is for the sake of all living beings, and there is nothing wrong with it."

But your sect, led by Li Yang, slaughtered one or two of us juniors. If that were the case, it could be considered a misstep in the contest.

But he killed almost everyone, leaving no one alive.

This act is close to the path of evil, purely for the purpose of satisfying one's own bloodlust.

"If we are not given an explanation for this matter, Kunzhou is not a place where your Xuanyuan Sword Sect can control everything."

"Explain?" A voice came from Crane Cry Peak.

Lu Feng took a step into the sky and snorted coldly:

"Li Yang is my personally trained disciple, and he was sent to Yongning County on my orders. This time, Senior Yuanhua of the Sword Alliance is also in charge of overseeing the operation."

If you wish to explain, feel free to come and find us.

"Senior Ning hasn't even uttered a word, yet you've come to question me first. Do you disregard the rules and regulations of the Dao Alliance?"

In fact, they also knew that they couldn't really do anything to the Xuantian Sword Sect.

They never expected that they had come seeking revenge and trying to eliminate Li Yang, this rising star in swordsmanship.

Before even meeting Li Yang, they had already lost three of their own prodigies, which is why they couldn't hold back any longer.

"You sent your third disciple, Ning Xinyao, to serve Li Yang. What are you planning? Do you really think others can't see through it?"

Don't use the Sword Alliance and the Dao Alliance as shields; this matter will never end well. Within Kunzhou, you'd better behave yourselves. Even if you have the Xuanyuan Sword Sect as your backer, so what? We have our own methods, within the rules, to bring your entire sect to ruin!

Go tell your apprentice—before he's ready to stand on his own, he should know to be humble, discreet, and conceal his talents!

This is a threat, and also a warning.

Lu Feng frowned, and his dry lips moved slightly.

"Oh shit!"

Someone spoke before him.

It was neither the Supreme Elder of Xuantian Peak nor any expert from the Xuantian Sword Sect.

Instead, it was Li Yang, who was standing on the life-or-death arena, riding his sword at that moment.

He pointed his sword at the unseen powerful figures outside the sect, his eyes wide with rage, and spat out a mouthful of saliva:

"Ancestor, Elder Lu, why waste words with them! If you have the guts, then break in; if not, get out of here now. I'm waiting for your revenge!"

Everyone present was in uproar.

Especially at this moment, there are still many cultivators watching the excitement in Xuantian City outside the Xuantian Sword Sect.

They had just heard the two powerful figures clashing.

Suddenly, a very soft but incredibly explosive statement was made.

And that's not all:

"Li Yang did a good job killing me! I just regret that I wasn't there at the time."

Let me tell you, I've been wanting to kill them for a long time!

In the Yongning County incident, it's one thing for you and your group of juniors to treat the demons who were refining human puppets and cultivating the blood path as nothing.

In the midst of the fighting and conflict, they also wantonly trampled on the lives of ordinary people.

If a child is raised but not taught, it is the father's fault; if the teaching is not strict, it is the teacher's laziness.

I can tell from your words and actions that they deserve to die, and you, as elders, deserve to die even more!

"When I'm old enough to stand on my own, you'd better pray you don't fall into my hands, or I'll slaughter you all like I did you juniors today!"

Li Yang's gaze was fierce, and the spirit sword in his hand hummed.

Looking at him, no one could see a trace of bravado; it was all genuine emotion.

"Qin Feng has really gone mad!" someone exclaimed.

"They're not just crazy, they're utterly depraved! They'll say anything!"

"The old monsters outside are at least at the Nascent Soul stage. Even though Qin Feng is the young patriarch of the Qin family, the Qin family isn't an ancient immortal family!"

"Stop talking. Even the most outstanding talents from the Immortal Ancient Clan wouldn't dare to speak like that."

The patriarch of the Xuantian Sword Sect was silenced by Li Yang's words and remained silent for a long time.

Lu Feng, on the other hand, was not surprised at all.

He already knew very well what kind of person this kid was.

Li Yang can be as extreme as he can be, unless his life is threatened.

As for Sect Master Ling Wujiu, he rushed over immediately.

After all, he was Li Yang's nominal master at this time.

"Qin Feng, stop talking nonsense. It's not your place to speak when your elders are conversing!"

What seemed like a reprimand was actually an attempt to reduce Qin Feng's enemies as much as possible.

"I'm so angry!"

In the sky, an old woman's face blotted out the sun, and the pressure of the Integration Stage descended with a roar, crashing into the protective formation of the Xuan Tian Sword Sect.

"What a splendid Xuantian Sword Sect! I've truly witnessed it today. Even the main Xuanyuan sect isn't as arrogant and domineering as one of your branch sects!"

"Hey~" Li Yang raised his sword and pointed it at the old woman's face, "You'll see for yourself today."

Tell me the truth: who among this group are your successors? I will fight them to the death.

If you're scared, just tuck your tail between your legs and leave. I won't laugh at you.

But if you're spineless and still dare to come here seeking revenge, then don't spout nonsense and make any threats.

You dare to tell Li Yang how to behave? You fucking dare!

We sword cultivators have nothing but our worthless lives, so go ahead and try if you dare!

If anything happens to Li Yang, you'll see if I don't wipe out all the geniuses of your sect.

If anything happens to me, Li Yang will slaughter all your disciples.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that you are determined to publicly launch a sect war. Otherwise, if Li Yang were to be killed in such a fair setting, I wouldn't stoop so low as to come here and be humiliated.

Li Yang's words can be summarized in one sentence:

Your useless junior has been killed, and you still have the nerve to cause trouble? You're just being a jerk!

"Qin Feng, shut up!" Ling Wujiu scolded. "Although what you said makes sense, the other party is, after all, a senior. You still have to abide by the principle that the strong should not be insulted."

Li Yang put down his sword and shrugged: "What kind of strongman is he? He's just an old slut who came here looking for a beating."

As he spoke, he glanced at the group of arrogant young men who had come seeking revenge, scoffed, and shook his head, saying:

"What revenge are you talking about? Even if I killed your own parents, you piece of trash wouldn't dare step into the ring."

Ignorant, useless, incompetent, brainless, boring.

"You!" One person stepped forward, his spiritual power surging.

But someone next to him grabbed his arm and shook their head to stop him.

"Great! You're absolutely right!"

The old woman laughed in exasperation: "What sharp teeth and steel jaws, and what a passionate and impassioned speech!"

But young man, do you know that some things in this world cannot be resolved by mere words?

The path of cultivation is fraught with thorns; those who reach the end are never the sharpest swords, but rather the most patient and composed individuals.

A few eerie smiles reappeared on her aged face:

"The Immortal Relic State Secret Realm will soon open. It is said to be full of ancient sites and countless opportunities, and geniuses from all sides want to enter and fight for it."

In such a dangerous place, the protection of sects is difficult to reach, and elders cannot take care of you; life and death are entirely up to fate.

At that time, all old and new grudges will be settled together, which can be considered a karmic cycle, a just punishment.

Another voice came from the void:

"In all my years, I have seen too many exceptionally talented young people who act on impulse without considering the consequences or long-term implications."

They may have been incredibly successful and arrogant at first, but how many of them actually survived and reached the top?

The cultivation world has never lacked geniuses who die young; what it lacks are wise people who know when to advance and retreat, and who know when to restrain themselves.

Young man, now that I've said this much, you'd better take care of yourself.

In the land of immortal ruins, the mountains and rivers stretch far and wide; may you emerge alive.

However, Li Yang didn't interpret these threatening words at all.

He didn't hear any threats, but he did hear one sentence: "In such a dangerous place, the sect's protection is limited, and the elders can't look after you. Life and death are entirely up to fate."

This is wonderful!

No?

"I look forward to the day when I meet your descendants who come seeking revenge."

I remember the Dao Alliance had a rule:

"All grudges and feuds within the secret realm must not be brought out, including life-or-death hatred!"
