Nantian City is full of autumn colors.

Rain pattered down the fallen leaves, and few pedestrians were seen.

A guest braved the rain and went straight to the courtyard.

Knock knock knock!

Knock knock!

Thump!

Squeak!

The courtyard gate opened, and an ordinary-looking middle-aged man opened the door.

"Greetings, OP!"

The middle-aged man was taken aback at first, then immediately bowed.

As the person in charge of Tingyulou in Nanzhou, Lin Ansheng naturally recognized the person in front of him.

You remain silent, the master of Tingyu Tower.

"An Sheng, let's go inside and talk!"

Jun Buyu removed his bamboo hat, revealing snow-white hair and a flawless, handsome face.

......

"On September 27th, Li Fan appeared in Shannan County..."

"Wei Chen dispatched two individuals from the Black Kill Ranking: the ninth-ranked Dry Bones and the tenth-ranked Headhunter..."

"Nangong Zhenxiang, the Governor of Nanzhou under the Zhenwu Commandery, left the city yesterday!"

"After he left the city, the sect leaders of the Sword Gate, Shadowless Gate, and Taiyue Sect announced that they would go into seclusion."

"A member of the eldest branch of the Jiang family has emerged from seclusion..."

"Wang Bao, the chief eunuch of the Prince of Zhennan's mansion, is also heading towards Tianshan County."

"Zhang Jin, the Tide Sword, ranked sixteenth on the Fish and Dragon List, and Wang Taicang, the Ink Blade, ranked eighteenth on the Fish and Dragon List, have arrived in Nantian City..."

Lin Ansheng was speaking, while Jun Buyu seemed somewhat inattentive.

He took out a pen and sketched on the paper.

The fact that Li Fan was surrounded and killed was obviously not worth his time.

Even if Yuwen Haotian, the Grand Commander of the Central Plains of Zhenwu Division, personally went to the Southern Plains, it still wouldn't be enough.

He came because of only one person.

Chen Kui!

The eldest prince's direct descendant, and the leader of the Heavenly Battalion.

Three years ago, he ranked fifth on the Heavenly Hero Ranking. Not long ago, he killed two Rank 10 Dharma Images and injured a powerful figure from Yanbei.

Jun Buyu was very curious as to why Chen Kui would return to Nanzhou at this time.

He had a vague idea in his mind.

Chen Kui disappeared for three years, and then Li Fan suddenly appeared.

The Blood Burning Blade is Chen Kui's favorite martial art.

This ordinary military killing technique was transformed into something extraordinary in his hands.

Coincidentally, Li Fan's signature sword technique is also the Blood Burning Blade.

He didn't believe there was absolutely no connection between them.

Chen Kui arrived, and naturally, his pursuers also arrived.

He didn't know which direction this great battle would ultimately take.

But the commotion will definitely be significant.

......

Outside Nantian City, there is a mountain sky.

The peaks are steep and precipitous, towering into the clouds.

Eighteen peaks rise to the sky, hidden amidst clouds and mist.

The houses stand side by side.

The population is not sparse.

This is the ancestral home of the Jiang family.

Besides the Jiang family, many servants who have served them for generations have also settled here.

The entire Tianqiong Mountain is almost comparable to a small city.

At the foot of the mountain, a horse-drawn carriage slowly approached.

It's driverless, yet it's moving straight ahead.

"This is the ancestral land of the Jiang family. Those who come here, stop!"

The mountain-guarding warrior stepped forward, and the carriage was blown away by a gust of wind.

A woman in a white dress appeared on the mountain path.

"Who are you......"

"You idiot, are you blind? You don't even recognize the young lady!"

The young martial artist wanted to say something, but the older man recognized the person who had come.

I left home at a young age to study at the academy.

When it does speak, it is sober that it is considered a great success.

Who in the world doesn't know Jiang Lan, the celestial being of the Jiang family?

"Greetings, Miss."

By the time the mountain-guarding warriors bowed, Jiang Lan had already crossed the checkpoint.

As she stepped onto the mountain path, a vast and powerful aura surged into the sky.

An indescribable surge of true energy erupted, condensing into countless scrolls behind Jiang Lan.

Books piled up like mountains, surging forth with boundless righteousness.

The guards stood there dumbfounded, completely unsure of what to do.

"You audacious madman! How dare you act so presumptuously on this important Jiang family property!"

"How dare you! I'd like to see who you are!"

Deep within the mountains, all the powerful members of the Jiang family sensed this immense aura.

Roars rose and fell.

"Oh, it's Lan'er!"

The ninth-ranked deity who came down the mountain first recognized Jiang Lan.

"Stop!"

"Jiang Lan is back!"

Jiang Tianyang stepped forward with a joyful expression, and as he spoke, the shouts from the mountains abruptly ceased.

Jiang Lan ignored him.

She looked into the depths of the mountains and said calmly, "Jiang Ruhuo, come out and face your death!"

boom!

His words were like a thunderclap.

Jiang Tianyang stood there, stunned.

The mountains were deathly silent.

Immediately afterward, someone spoke up: "Jiang Lan, is this the knowledge taught at the Jixia Academy? Disrespectful..."

Boom!

Before the sinister-looking old man could finish speaking, a pillar of righteous energy descended from the sky.

Around him, rocks flew everywhere.

He was unharmed.

But that was enough to shut him up.

"Dharma Image!"

Finally, everyone realized something terrifying.

That means Jiang Lan's cultivation level has reached the tenth grade of Dharma Image.

The Dharma Image is the Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth, borrowing the Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth, which is unfathomable to gods and ghosts!

The emergence of a fourth Dharma Image in the Jiang family should have been a joyous occasion.

But at this moment, they couldn't be happy.

This Dharma image has returned to kill another Dharma image.

......

"Jiang Lan, considering that your breakthrough to the Dharma Form was truly remarkable."

"I can overlook the fact that you have to kneel in the ancestral hall for a whole day and night."

Jiang Ruhuo arrived in the rain from the sky.

When he appeared, the surrounding temperature began to rise.

His intense inner energy was condensed, making him like a volcano, ready to erupt at any moment!

The two statues faced each other, and the celestial phenomena suddenly changed.

The rain began to swirl back, and Jiang Lan strode forward.

When she moves, the mountain of books moves.

She didn't speak, but her words spoke volumes.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"Today I will teach you a lesson, you ignorant little brat."

"Let me show you what it means to have a world beyond your reach and a person beyond your abilities!"

Jiang Ruhuo snorted coldly and charged out.

He has spent decades breaking through to the Dharma Form stage; how could he be inferior to a newly promoted Dharma Form stage cultivator?

A torrent of intense true energy erupted forth, and Jiang Ruhuo charged towards Jiang Lan like a meteorite.

Rumble!

The two streams of true energy collided in the sky, creating a loud explosion.

A huge mushroom cloud appeared in the sky and then rippled in all directions.

A figure crashed to the ground.

Jiang Ruhuo stared unfocusedly at the sky.

I've lost?

He looked incredulous.

how so?

A celestial being in white robes emerged from the mushroom cloud.

"Lan'er, stop!"

A middle-aged man appeared in front of Jiang Lan.

The man was none other than Jiang Wentian, the head of the Jiang family and one of the three tenth-rank Dharma Images of the Jiang family.

"Why didn't you tell them to stop when they drove my mother to her death three years ago?"

"With the change of imperial power, this is the only way for the Jiang family to remain unscathed!"

"Very well, then I will tell you today that if the Jiang family wants to preserve more strength, then let me kill Jiang Ruhuo."

After Jiang Lan finished speaking, she flew towards the mountain path.

"Sigh, let's put this farce to an end!"

"Strip Jiang Ruhuo of his position as the clan elder, seal the ancestral hall, and forbid him from ever leaving the mountain again!"

An aged voice echoed from the sky.

"Greetings, Ancestor!"

One by one, members of the Jiang family bowed to the sky.

That figure was Jiang Cen, the strongest member of the Jiang family.

"You guys!"

"Always so self-righteous!"

"I said, today I will kill Jiang Ruhuo."

"If you don't believe me, try stopping one of them!"

"Whoever makes a move dies!"

Countless true words fell in all directions.

The entire ancestral land of the Jiang family was shrouded in that terrifyingly powerful aura.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Cen's expression changed drastically.

Jiang Lan's strength was beyond his expectations.

He made his move, and no one could stop him!

"Jiang Lan, you can't kill me!"

Jiang Ruhuo was scared.

He tried to run, but the righteous energy had already suppressed him.

The terrifying power instantly shattered the true energy within his body.

Without the support of true qi, Jiang Ruhuo aged several decades in an instant.

The milky white aura of righteousness condensed into a white ribbon, which tightened around Jiang Ruhuo's neck.

Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Ruhuo was hanged on the mountain path.

"From this day forward, I sever all ties with the Jiang family!"

"It's up to my sister to decide whether to stay or leave."

"Anyone who dares to touch her will die!"

Jiang Lan drifted away, and the carriage headed down the mountain road.
