Hiss~

Upon seeing this, A Bao and the others all gasped in shock.

His face showed fear.

Three breaths.

One hundred thousand martial artists have perished!

Even slaughtering 100,000 pigs would take a long time, but 100,000 martial artists would be gone in three breaths.

As a gust of wind scattered the ashes on the ground, the only proof that the martial artist still existed in the world was gone.

It was as if they had never appeared at all.

However, no one would think Ling Yun was cruel.

Xiao Yanran stared at Ling Yun, her face deathly pale, her body trembling terribly.

Is this still the same cowardly and easily bullied Ling Yun?

When Ling Yun shouted "No one will be spared," Xiao Yanran felt that in that instant, Ling Yun was the Immortal Emperor who looked down upon all the heavens and myriad realms.

His entire body exuded an unparalleled and unimaginable aura.

That aura, that presence—wasn't that exactly what Xiao Yanran had been dreaming of?

At this moment, Ling Yun's image in Xiao Yanran's heart was towering and unyielding!

Ling Yun remained calm throughout, his eyes as still as a deep pool, as if the deaths of 100,000 martial artists were as commonplace as crushing an ant.

Ah~

Just then, Han Yu and the thirteen cultivators at the Sealed Realm behind him screamed in terror.

The scene of annihilating 100,000 martial artists in three breaths was incredibly shocking to them.

He was so powerful that even their Dao hearts began to crumble; so powerful that when they saw Ling Yun, it was as if they were seeing a great terror.

"Devil! You are a devil! Ten thousand warriors!"

"Ah, what exactly is he?! Ah~"

Ling Yun shook his head speechlessly. Han Yu and the others... have gone mad.

I'm terrified!

Ling Yun looked at the divine phoenix and the phoenix standing proudly in the void and said coldly:

"Kill them!"

Just as Shenfeng and Fenghuang were about to make their move, Xiao Yanran, realizing what was happening, anxiously grabbed Ling Yun's arm and pleaded:

"Ling Yun, please let Han Yu go. Although we are no longer master and disciple, she used to be really good to me."

She's not a bad person; she just admires the Dean of the Immortal Martial Academy to the extreme, which is why she's so eager to make a name for herself.

I beg you, Lingyun!

Seeing Xiao Yanran's tearful eyes filled with pleading, Ling Yun nodded slightly.

"Han Yu can live, everyone else dies!"

boom!

The divine phoenix spewed out a burst of pure fire, turning the thirteen cultivators at the Sealed Human Realm into ashes.

After this scene, Han Yu completely lost her mind.

"Ah~ the devil!"

She screamed in terror as she subconsciously flew towards the Immortal Martial Academy.

A Bao, Shangguan Hong, Xiao Yanran, and Yan Ruyu looked at each other and put away their weapons.

I thought it would be a bloody battle, but it was taken care of so easily.

Immediately afterwards, the Crimson Phoenix and the Seven-Colored Phoenix returned to Xiao Yanran and Yan Ruyu's bodies respectively.

At the very moment the martial spirit returned to the body.

boom!

boom!

The two simultaneously unleashed terrifying auras.

Xiao Yanran went straight to the realm of being a sealed person.

Yan Ruyu was just one step away from becoming a cultivator, from the first level of Martial Bone Realm to the ninth level of Martial Soul Realm.

The two were completely bewildered.

Ling Yun explained with a smile:

"Having devoured the essence, spirit, and blood of 100,000 martial artists, your spirits have already surpassed the Nascent Soul Realm. Originally, you could have directly become great cultivators in the Divine Transformation Realm, but your cultivation foundation and physical bodies are too weak to be suitable for that realm."

Upon hearing this, the two were overjoyed. They had reached a level that others would take decades or even centuries to achieve, so quickly.

In particular, Yan Ruyu reached the pinnacle of martial arts within a month of becoming a martial artist.

She felt a little unreal.

Xiao Yanran also felt it was unreal; those at the Sealed Human Realm were at the level of Grand Elders in some sects.

They could even start their own sect.

"Sister Ruyu, I'm hungry~"

At this moment, the little white fox waved its tiny paws and said weakly.

She cares about nothing but eating.

Yan Ruyu took a chicken leg out of her spatial ring and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Let's have something to eat first, and then we'll have a proper meal once we get to Zhongling City."

Ling Yun looked at Shangguan Hong and said in a deep voice:

"It's time to take care of your business!"

Shangguan Hong nodded slightly, a terrifying killing intent flashing in his eyes. His fists clenched so tightly that the veins bulged, and his eyes were fixed on the direction of Zhongling City.

"This time I'm back, and I won't let any of my enemies get away with it!"

Immediately, the group spurred their horses and headed towards Zhongling City.

As he entered Zhongling City and looked at everything that was so familiar, Shangguan Hong's eyes were filled with memories, but even more so with hatred.

"Isn't that lecherous Shangguan Hong? Didn't he commit suicide to atone for his sins?!"

"This inhuman bastard, who killed his parents and sister because of his lust, still has the nerve to come back to Zhongling City, ugh!"

"Get out of Zhongling City! We don't welcome scum like you!"

"..."

When the people of Zhongling City recognized Shangguan Hong, they were immediately enraged, and many took out eggs and cabbages and threw them at Shangguan Hong's face.

Some people blocked Shangguan Hong's way, preventing him from continuing.

This scene was heartbreaking for Shangguan Hong. He was clearly the victim, so why was he the one bearing the blame?

He felt wronged, disappointed, and desperate.

Abao couldn't stand it and quickly spoke up for Shangguan Hong:

"You've all misunderstood. Shangguan Hong isn't a lecher; he was framed by Chen Qing and Wang Jinlian."

"Nonsense! Miss Wang is a gentle and virtuous woman, a well-known good woman in Zhongling City. How could she possibly frame Shangguan Hong!"

"That's right, you're definitely not a good person if you speak up for Shangguan Hong. All of you, get out of Zhongling City!"

"Get out of here and stop polluting Zhongling City!"

"..."

The more he explained, the more agitated the onlookers became.

A Bao was both angry and anxious. At this moment, Yan Ruyu and Xiao Yanran drew their swords and knives respectively.

"Get out of the way! Anyone who blocks your path will die!"

The onlookers immediately shut up, made way, and glared at Ling Yun and his group with resentment.

"Little brother, in this world, a knife is more effective than a mouth!"

Xiao Yanran sheathed her sword and gave A Bao a haughty look.

"Sister Ruyu, when are we eating? I'm so hungry!"

The little white fox, curled up in Yan Ruyu's arms, spoke weakly.

"Alright, alright, I'll take you to eat something delicious!"

Immediately afterwards, Ling Yun and his group arrived at a restaurant called Ke Lai Xiang.

Just as they were about to enter, the restaurant patrons and waiters became furious upon seeing Shangguan Hong.

"Get out! Scum and scoundrels are not welcome here!"

"If Ke Lai Xiang dares to serve Shangguan Hong, we'll smash the restaurant to pieces!"

"A scumbag who forcibly takes a respectable woman and brings shame upon his parents and family doesn't deserve to live, much less eat with us!"

"..."

When the diners in the restaurant saw Shangguan Hong, it was as if they were seeing the murderer of their fathers; their eyes were filled with resentment, as if they wished they could eat his flesh and drink his blood.

Seeing this, Ah Bao kicked the person blocking his way away, then went into the restaurant, drew his sword, and placed it on the counter.

He then took out a gold ingot and placed it on the counter.

"I've booked the entire Ke Lai Xiang restaurant today. If there's even one unauthorized person, I don't mind cutting them to pieces."

"Hmph! You win, I'm not eating it!"

The diners glared at Ah Bao and grumbled as they left the restaurant.

Ling Yun shook his head and smiled, "A Bao learns quite quickly."
