Chapter 202 Scheming

Li Wangxian had already decided to leave and had no intention of delaying any longer. He activated the Quasi-Emperor Gourd and unleashed a stunning beam of immortal light that covered the entire area ten thousand feet in front of him. Amidst the deafening roar, it created a void and forced Gao Tianchi back.

Then, he transformed into an indestructible divine light, instantly escaping hundreds of miles away. Without pausing, a vast array appeared in his hand, ready to traverse the void and travel hundreds of thousands of miles in an instant.

"Hey!"

A figure rushed in like a ghost. In an instant, Gao Tianchi moved tens of thousands of feet away, bypassing the void created by Li Wangxian, and then, from afar, he wielded the Great Saint Weapon and unleashed an unparalleled attack capable of killing gods and saints.

The sword light pierced the heavens and earth, penetrating many dimensions and disrupting the boundless void. Given Gao Tianchi's temperament, he had naturally already considered the possibility that his opponent's divine power was insufficient and that he might escape.

Therefore, as soon as Li Wangxian tried to escape, he followed without hesitation and unleashed a sword strike that shattered the void, making it impossible for anyone to traverse the void.

"Tsk, they were prepared after all!"

Li Wangxian was not surprised that his opponent was able to react. He unleashed his innate Great Sun Divine Light, transforming his body into an indestructible divine light, like the great sun in the sky. Once it rose into the sky, it illuminated countless mountains and rivers. In an instant, he fled hundreds of miles away, dodging his opponent's attack and widening the distance once again.

"boom!"

Behind him, Gao Tianchi did not hesitate and instantly traversed hundreds of miles to catch up. During this time, he wielded his Great Saint Weapon and repeatedly cleaved through the sky with a roar to prevent Li Wangxian from escaping across the void. He was determined to destroy this formidable enemy who was destined to be extremely terrifying in the future and would not allow the other party to escape.

"Hey!"

Li Wangxian did not linger. He unleashed the Great Sun Divine Light Technique, his speed was astonishing, and even a saint could not catch up with him for a short time. Of course, the help of the quasi-emperor weapon was indispensable in this process.

It wasn't to increase his escape speed, but rather he unleashed terrifying divine power, blasting the area behind him into ruins, filling it with destructive energy, forcing Gao Tianchi to detour around the area to continue the pursuit.

And so, the two chased and fled, covering tens of thousands of miles in a short time.

"No, I won't be able to catch up with him before his divine power is exhausted. He might actually escape!"

After a brief chase, the terrifying power of the quasi-emperor weapon forced even saints to retreat, and the distance between the two actually widened. Gao Tianchi's expression was gloomy. He had a premonition that if things continued like this, the other party would eventually get rid of him, which was something he absolutely could not allow.

After all, given the terrifying talent of the other party who is capable of stepping into the divine realm, it goes without saying that everyone understands that while proving the Dao may be uncertain, becoming a Great Sage is definitely within reach. In fact, barring any unforeseen circumstances, even a Quasi-Emperor would not be able to stop this person. Just thinking about such an enemy is enough to make one feel suffocated.

"No matter what, we can't let him get away!"

Gao Tianchi's face hardened, and he made a decision.

"boom!"

Ahead, Li Wangxian unleashed another devastating divine power, shattering the heavens and halting Gao Tianchi's pursuit.

"Hey!"

Gao Tianchi's expression was cold, but he had no choice but to use the speed of a saint to bypass the range of the quasi-emperor weapon's divine power and continue the pursuit.

Ahead, Li Wangxian was already more than a thousand miles away from him.

"boom!"

Gao Tianchi's expression hardened. Without hesitation, he unleashed a dazzling divine light that pierced through the heavens and the earth, burning fiercely like an eternal divine furnace. The surrounding land, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, turned crimson red. This was an unimaginable heat capable of drying up the vast oceans. Like the sun falling from the sky, the terrifying divine power instantly created a horrifying scene of scorched earth, with patches of red crystals resembling glass appearing on the ground.

He was burning his own holy divine power, even his own lifespan and origin.

"Buzz!"

In that instant, Gao Tianchi moved like lightning, causing the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers to recede before him. In a flash, he traversed vast distances, caught up, and appeared not far behind Li Wangxian.

Then, with a deafening roar, he didn't stop and raised his hand to unleash hundreds of earth-shattering attacks, cleaving the ten directions of the sky, in an attempt to hold Li Wangxian back.

"boom!"

Li Wangxian met the attack head-on, his quasi-emperor-level weapon displaying unparalleled divine might. With sufficient divine power, severing stars and shattering galaxies were commonplace, and the attack of a saint was naturally no problem.

In the midst of a devastating void, Li Wangxian continued to circulate the Great Sun Divine Light Technique and disappeared into the horizon. Behind him, Gao Tianchi, burning with his own essence, moved with incredible speed, dodging the devastating area created by the quasi-emperor weapon in a flash, and followed like a persistent leech.

"Sizzle, sizzle!"

This was a massive chase spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, which shocked the entire Central Plains. The commotion they caused during their pursuit was enormous, and the vast and boundless fluctuations terrified everyone.

"Young man, you can't escape. Surrender now and become my family's supreme war slave, and I might spare your life. Otherwise, once your divine power is exhausted and I capture you, I guarantee your fate will be worse than going to hell!" Gao Tianchi shouted in a sinister tone.

Having burned his very essence, he possessed unparalleled divine power. Li Wangxian tried several times with his quasi-emperor weapon, but could not stop him or shake him off. It seemed that only the exhaustion of his divine power and subsequent capture awaited him.

"hehe!"

After Li Wangxian let out a shout, he unleashed a quasi-emperor divine might in a backhand strike, forcing his opponent to detour. He then emitted a dazzling light, and a terrifying divine power burned around him, making him burn like a giant furnace, turning half the sky crimson.

He also unleashed his divine power!

"Hey!"

The Innate Great Sun Divine Light Technique was incredibly swift. After burning his source energy, he instantly traversed over a thousand miles, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Trying to run? Burning your divine power won't help."

Behind him, Gao Tianchi's expression was ferocious. In an instant, he traversed thousands of miles like lightning, closing the distance once again, a terrifying feat.

"It's time!"

After Li Wangxian unleashed a powerful counterattack, blasting away the approaching Gao Tianchi once again, he activated his divine power and transformed into an indestructible ray of light, just as he had done dozens of times before, and fled away.

Without hesitation, Gao Tianchi closed in again, closing the distance to within a thousand feet of Li Wangxian. He intended to continue wielding his holy sword from this safe distance, exhausting the junior's divine power.

But just then, as he arrived at this place and before he could even attack, Li Wangxian's expression turned fierce. He took a step forward, unleashing the unparalleled Xingzi Secret and the astonishing Dao of Time and Space. Time seemed to freeze in that instant, and the world lost its color. In a world that appeared as black and white, Li Wangxian appeared before Gao Tianchi in a flash, to his utter astonishment. The Quasi-Emperor Gourd in his hand had already unleashed an unparalleled attack, slamming into this ancient sage.

Chapter 203 Shaking the North Star

It was too sudden and swift. Gao Tianchi never expected that Li Wangxian, who had been on the run for so long, would suddenly turn around and launch a sneak attack on him. Moreover, this speed was far greater than the divine light escape technique that Li Wangxian had previously displayed.

The speed of the "Xing Zi Mi" technique was unparalleled, almost pushed to its limit by Li Wangxian. Stepping into the realm of time, this attack was so fast that even the sages were shocked and couldn't understand it.

"what……"

The quasi-Emperor weapon was incredibly powerful, capable of slaying gods and immortals and destroying the universe. At such close range, when it struck him, even a god would be helpless. There was no surprise at all. Caught off guard by Li Wangxian's scheme, Gao Tianchi had nowhere to dodge and took the full force of the blow. He was immediately ignited, and even his saintly body could not withstand the aura of the Emperor weapon. He was pierced through on the spot and turned into ashes amidst his cries of agony, dissipating into the world.

"Hmph, after all this time, I haven't been without any progress. Although my methods aren't sophisticated, with the information gap, even a saint would be tricked by me!"

Looking at Gao Tianchi, who had been reduced to dust, Li Wangxian let out a smug hum. To be honest, he had never been entirely satisfied with his underhanded skills, so this time, being able to successfully trick a saint filled him with a great sense of accomplishment.

"Before attacking the Gao family, I was prepared to face a sage. Did they really think I was Xuan Yi, that headstrong brat who just charged at a sage's weapon?"

Li Wangxian's scheme wasn't particularly sophisticated; he merely exploited an information gap and used the Innate Great Sun Divine Light Technique as a cover to confuse his opponent. After all, this was already an extreme speed, and unless one was a saint, it would be impossible to catch up with him.

In the eyes of ordinary people, he was not powerful enough and could not hit the saint, so he would naturally have to run away. If he ran away, he would definitely have to use his maximum speed. His divine light technique was fast enough, surpassing the speed of a Great Completion King. Gao Tianchi naturally had no doubt.

Furthermore, given that he had already mastered the Xingzi Secret Technique to an extraordinary degree and had entered the realm of spacetime magic after passing through the Yaochi Ancient Land, he was about to step into the realm of time with the Xingzi Secret Technique. Gao Tianchi was also eager to eliminate this major threat to his family, so it was only natural that he would be ambushed by Li Wangxian when he was caught off guard.

"Now that the Gao family has lost all its strength, should we eliminate them completely?"

Li Wangxian stood tall under the sky, his eyes deep and unfathomable. He was not the kind of bloodthirsty person who would find great excitement in killing.

Although he used a sacred weapon to kill thousands of people with a single strike of the Saintly Dao Sound when attacking the Gao family, and then wiped out countless members of the Gao family with a single strike of the Quasi-Emperor weapon, at that time, it was a life-or-death battlefield, and the outcome was uncertain, so there was no possibility of holding back. But now, the dust has settled.

"Should we keep the remnants of the Gao family alive? Although we are not afraid of their hostility and retaliation, this would still be a major hidden danger!"

Li Wangxian looked towards the Gao family's territory, where no one was left. Previously, Gao Tianchi had used his saintly abilities to shatter the void and move the Gao family members out of the battlefield, and it was unknown where they had been teleported to.

Moreover, even if Li Wangxian wanted to search for it now, it would be very difficult. It was originally the work of a sage, which was difficult to find. In addition, because he and Gao Tianchi fought fiercely there, they had already shattered the void there, making it impossible to deduce the coordinates.

"However, it's not impossible to find them if we spend some time on it. There are so many people, and the Gao family probably never imagined that their sage ancestor would be defeated!"

Li Wangxian pondered, somewhat hesitant. The extermination of a family is never something that can be simply summarized in two words. Given his values, which he developed in a peaceful environment in his previous life, it would be difficult for him to easily convince himself to do such a thing.

"In the conquest of the Imperial Road, I will not hesitate to ruthlessly eliminate my enemies, but now, is it really necessary to exterminate the entire Gao family?"

Li Wangxian remained silent. There was no doubt that the upper and middle levels of the Gao family agreed to treat him as an enemy and were filled with murderous intent towards him. He would not be pedantic about these people. What he was thinking was that there were still many people in the lower and middle classes of the Gao family, including a considerable number of the elderly, weak, women and children. Just because they were surnamed Gao, should they be killed and bloodshed would flow like a river?

"In that case, how am I any different from the Duanmu family?"

With that thought in mind, Li Wangxian stopped worrying.

"The middle and upper echelons of the Gao family must be killed. As for the remaining remnants, once the Gao family falls, there will be plenty of people in this world who will kick someone when they're down. It's up to fate what happens to them!"

Li Wangxian made his decision and felt relieved. As for the future, if any remnants of the Gao family were to rise against all odds and come to him to settle their karmic debts, he would accept it. He was confident that he could sweep through the Emperor's Road, so why would he be afraid?

"Buzz!"

Having made his decision, Li Wangxian quickly got to work. With a flick of his wrists, divine runes of the Great Dao leaped out from his palms, condensing into celestial power under his divine power, piercing through the sky and opening a void passage.

"rinse!"

With a burst of divine light, he stepped into the domain gate, disappeared from the scene, and rushed back to the region where the Gao family was located.

The Gao family was once a land of soaring dragons, a place of unparalleled beauty and wonder. But now, it has been reduced to scorched earth and barren land by Li Wangxian and Gao Tianchi. The once majestic and continuous mountain ranges have collapsed, and the magnificent palaces and floating divine islands have all turned to ashes. The divine power of the quasi-emperor weapons was too terrifying. Everything was destroyed, and there was not a single spoil left.

Li Wangxian appeared from the void, looking at the scorched earth with a calm expression. He opened his Martial Dao Heavenly Eye and shot out a golden light that stretched for tens of miles, piercing through the void. He silently calculated the void fluctuations that Gao Tianchi had created earlier, trying to deduce the coordinates.

But soon, he sighed. Sure enough, as he expected, the divine power of the quasi-emperor weapon was too terrifying. It had pierced through countless void dimensions, erasing all traces and making it impossible to calculate.

"We have no spoils of war and have not found the people. It seems we can only wait for the Gao family to reveal their whereabouts."

Thinking of this, Li Wangxian was about to leave when he suddenly stopped. Wait, there are still some spoils. The Gao family's various businesses in Zhongzhou, such as the gambling stone workshop and the auction house, must have a lot of good stuff.

The locations of these industries were in the information the Jiang family gave him. Couldn't he make a fortune from this?

Having thought of this, Li Wangxian did not linger. After glancing at the void, he used the "Travel" technique, took a step, and disappeared into the horizon.

"Why is the banished immortal here? Wasn't it rumored that he attacked the Gao family this time, leading to a massive pursuit and killing by the Gao family's powerful forces?"

Because the Gao family had produced an imperial weapon that clashed with a saint, the aura was so terrifying that all the powerful figures of the major sects sensed it. The subsequent pursuit by Gao Tianchi caused quite a stir.

Therefore, at this time, all the major sects in Zhongzhou sent people to investigate the Gao family's location, and there were also some cultivators who risked coming here to search for treasure.

At this moment, because the Gao family was suspected of having some terrifying hidden strength, these people did not dare to be too presumptuous. Therefore, they all concealed their figures and silently searched for any opportunities they might have.

Therefore, after Li Wangxian glanced at the void, everyone was terrified, fearing that the immortal might do something to them.

Li Wangxian had just displayed his terrifying Martial Arts Heavenly Eye; they couldn't possibly think that the banished immortal hadn't noticed their presence.

Therefore, these people breathed a sigh of relief after Li Wangxian left.

"Do you think it's possible that the Immortal really did attack the Gao family, and then he actually killed the powerful figures chasing him?"

Some people speculated that because the feud between the Gao family and Li Wangxian was now known to almost everyone, not just the Big Dipper, everyone thought of Li Wangxian after the earth-shattering change that happened to the Gao family.

Chapter 204 This wave is going to be explosive!

Undoubtedly, the great battle that took place at the Gao family has alarmed the entire Central Continent. Even the major sects in other regions have taken action upon hearing the news, based on reports from their spies sent to the Central Continent.

"Someone wielding imperial weapons attacked the Gao family; could it be the work of a banished immortal?"
