Soon after, the battle came to an end.
Meng Ke, who was at the third level of the Dao Integration Realm, was forcefully killed by Xiao Hao, who was only at the seventh level of the Void Return Realm.
"Something terrible has happened! The Supreme Clan Chief has been killed!"
The Meng family members were terrified upon seeing this.
The entire Meng family is in turmoil; the newcomers are up to no good. If this is not handled properly, the family may be wiped out.
"I have many insights to share from this battle..."
Xiao Hao took a deep breath.
As expected, arduous training is not as effective as practical combat. It seems I should gain more experience.
"Xiao Hao, you have great talent. Let's spar more often when we have time."
Xiao Fan flew forward.
"Okay, Brother Fan, the most urgent thing now is to deal with the remaining troubles."
Xiao Hao glanced at the location of the Meng family.
The two nodded in agreement.
Xiao Yan had originally planned to enter the Meng family to search for the strange fire.
Aren't you taking her with you?
Xiao Fan pointed to Xiao Nannan, who was inside the barrier in the distance.
"Ahem... Brother Fan, you found out?"
"Of course, I had been hiding before Xiao Yan arrived, so I saw everything you did just now."
Xiao Fan smiled but remained silent.
Xiao Hao had no choice but to go and bring Xiao Nannan over.
The group introduced themselves to each other.
"Oh, it's Nannan. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, don't hesitate to come to us."
"Since the Meng family treats Nannanmei this way, it's not unreasonable for us to do the same. Besides, we've already offended the Meng family to death, so eliminating them completely is the best course of action."
Though ruthless, this is the nature of the cultivation world: the strong prey on the weak, and family interests come first.
Xiao Fan spoke up.
"Devouring Heaven Demon Art... Is Nannan really sure this technique is okay? Will it go out of control in the later stages of cultivation?"
Xiao Yan asked.
"Don't worry, Nannan will never become possessed by a demon, and I will keep an eye on her."
Xiao Hao assured him.
"Yes, I promise my brothers that if Nannan becomes possessed by a demon, then my brothers will kill me with their own hands."
Xiao Nannan said.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Xiao Hao rubbed her head.
"Alright, let's stop arguing and get started. I'll maintain the barrier so no one can escape."
Xiao Fan flew to an even higher place.
As the incantation was recited, a massive barrier slowly rose.
Now that the Meng family no longer has any experts at the Dao Integration stage, Xiao Fan will set up a barrier to ensure everything goes smoothly.
"Then let's begin."
......
After eliminating the remaining members of the Meng family, the four left the area.
The events happened so suddenly that other parts of the Eastern Region were unaware that the first-rate Meng family had been destroyed.
It's estimated that in a day or two, cultivators passing by will discover this place, and it will shock the Eastern Region.
Even if the people of the Eastern Region knew that the Meng family had been destroyed, they did not know who was responsible.
"No wonder they're a first-rate family; they've amassed a lot of resources."
Several people were amazed.
Instant wealth.
Xiao Nannan's aptitude also increased dramatically, almost surpassing that of ordinary chosen ones.
Xiao Yan also found the strange fire in the underground of the Meng family's backyard as he wished.
In fact, the Meng family had discovered the existence of the strange fire a long time ago, since it was so close. However, the Meng family did not have any experts at the Tribulation Transcending stage, so they could not break through the barrier to obtain the strange fire.
They didn't dare ask a Tribulation Transcending stage expert for help, wanting to devour this creation of heaven and earth on their own.
Therefore, they regarded the strange fire as their clan's treasure, and the area beneath it was transformed into a blessed land for cultivation.
Because the residual power of the strange fire can temper the mana within a cultivator's body, making their mana purer and of higher quality than that of others at the same cultivation level.
Where are you planning to go next?
Xiao Fan asked.
"Yes, I'm going to absorb the strange fire later, and then I'll go find other strange fires."
Xiao Yan said.
"My daughter and I just left home not long ago, and we're planning to go to other places to train. The Eastern Region is too small, so I plan to go to the Central Region, where there are many powerful people, making it an excellent place for training."
Xiao Hao replied.
"What about you, Brother Fan?"
"Well... I was originally planning to go back to the Xiao family. After all, I've been away from home for so many years, and I wanted to go back and see how the Xiao family has changed and whether anything unexpected has happened."
Now that I see you all, there's no need for me to go back. It's true, as Xiao Hao said, the Eastern Region is too small; there's no challenge at all.
Xiao Fan nodded.
"That?"
"Let's go together. Let's go to the Central Region and make our way there. Once we've established ourselves there, we'll move the Xiao family here."
"Is it even possible? Our Xiao family is only a third-rate family."
Xiao Hao pondered.
Xiao Yan and Xiao Fan's lips twitched.
"Third-rate? Have you ever seen a third-rate family have a Void Returning stage expert? Or a Dao Integration stage expert?"
"That's right, I didn't expect the Xiao family to change so much in just a few years."
Xiao Hao suddenly realized.
"Well, who can blame us for our clan leader being so extraordinary? To this day, I still can't figure out where he got the resources to train me back then."
Xiao Fan shrugged.
The others nodded in agreement.
But so what? The clan leader is genuinely good to them, so why bother with so much? Everyone has their own secrets.
"Then let's wait until Xiao Yan finishes absorbing the strange fire before we go to the Central Region."
The group finalized their plan.
......
The Xiao family.
Xiao Zhan, who was in seclusion, was unaware that Xiao Hao and the others were planning something big for him.
Xiao Zhan was still immersed in the pleasure of cultivation.
Is this what it feels like to be a genius...? It's so awesome!
It was so exhilarating that I couldn't breathe, and I wished I could devote every single minute to cultivation.
As Xiao Nannan's aptitude skyrocketed, Xiao Zhan's aptitude also increased significantly.
"It seems the girl's aptitude issue has been resolved. Is the cultivation technique complete...?"
Xiao Zhan smiled with satisfaction.
Once he finds out how his qualifications were improved, he probably won't be laughing anymore.
Six years later.
Zhongyu.
"A bounty is offered for a ruthless individual, rewarded with a bottle of Grade 7 Creation Pills and a bottle of Grade 8 Tribulation Transcending Pills!"
"Wow, that's quite a big deal. Is it a scam?"
"The reward offered by the Zhao family could not possibly be false. I never expected that such a ruthless person would offend the Zhao family."
"What happened? Does anyone know the inside story?"
"Ahem, I know about this. I was there at the time. It is said that the ruthless man killed Zhao Tian of the Zhao family and devoured Zhao Tian's sacred body, which angered the Zhao family."
"Wow, so you're the guy from the scene? If you were there, how come you're making these 'rumored' claims? Anyone can just spout nonsense."
"Believe it or not, this is the information I've received."
The man blushed and roared in shame and indignation.
Others were somewhat disdainful, but as more and more people revealed their stories, it was confirmed that what this person said was true.
"See! See! I told you it was true!"
"Tch, just a lucky guess."
"Ah! I promise I'll never leak any more information to you guys again!"
The man stormed off in anger, while the others ignored his presence and began discussing the bounty.
"This bounty is not easy to get. You know, Ruthless is on good terms with Huang, and their relationship is not simple."
"Not only is he on good terms with Huang, but he's also close to that Chaotic Ancient Sword Master and the Flame Emperor. These four have a very deep relationship!"
"No way? Really?"
"Of course it's true, so I'm not getting involved in this mess. Dealing with one ruthless person can be done by overwhelming them with numbers, but four prodigies? They should just give up and go to sleep."
The crowd agreed that this made sense, and worried that they might lose their lives in vain if they didn't get the reward.
The Zhao family can't afford to offend these four extraordinary talents, so they're planning to use them as pawns.
Forget it, only an idiot would accept this bounty.
