Within Purple Firmament City, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from the Shen family, instantly sweeping across the entire city. This aura exuded a chilling coldness that made everyone feel as if a sharp sword was hanging over their heads, causing them to break out in cold sweats.
"Huan'er!"
A sorrowful and indignant voice echoed through the clouds. It was Shen Zhong, the current head of the Shen family, a Sage realm peak expert. Shen Huan was his only son, born when Shen Zhong was over two thousand years old, making him a late-life child. Shen Zhong doted on him immensely, turning a scion of a Sage family into a notorious playboy, a scandalous affair within a radius of millions of miles.
"Boom!"
A figure shot out from the Shen family, speeding towards Li Beifei and the others' escape route like a meteor.
This person was naturally Shen Zhong. He was driven to near madness upon learning of Shen Huan's death. He intended to personally suppress Li Beifei and the others to avenge his son.
This scene was naturally observed by many interested parties, including the people from the Violet Firmament Holy Land.
At this moment, Elder Zishan and the Violet Firmament Holy Land representative, who served as the judge, stood respectfully behind a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man possessed extraordinary bearing, and even without revealing any aura, he would still be the center of attention.
This man was the Violet Firmament Holy Son's master, the Holy Lord of the Violet Firmament Holy Land!
"Holy Lord, if Shen Zhong takes action personally, I'm afraid Elder Li and the others won't be a match," Elder Zishan said. The Elder Li he mentioned were the three who were chasing Li Beifei after he stabbed the Shen family's Fifth Elder to death. Their cultivation levels were all at the peak of the Transcendent realm, while Shen Zhong was at the peak of the Sage realm. Even if the three of them joined forces, they wouldn't be able to withstand a single blow from Shen Zhong.
"Holy Lord, how about I take action!" The Violet Firmament Holy Land representative who had served as the judge of the Stone Gambling Assembly said. He was also an elder of the Violet Firmament Holy Land, but his strength was much greater than Elder Li and the other two. He had already reached the eighth level of the Sage realm. Even though his cultivation was a small realm lower than Shen Zhong's, he wasn't afraid of Shen Zhong.
As an elder of the Holy Land, whether it was the cultivation techniques or resources, they were not comparable to the head of a Sage family. Moreover, the Shen family was not the strongest among the Sage families, far inferior to the Yin Yang Holy Land.
The Violet Firmament Holy Lord shook his head and said, "If you take action, it will easily leave us vulnerable. There are more than just our Violet Firmament Holy Land eyeing the Immortal Gold and Quasi-Emperor Skull."
"Holy Lord, are you saying that other Holy Lands will also take action?" Elder Zishan asked.
"Zishan, send a message to Elder Li and the other two, telling them to be careful. I will send people to support them."
The Violet Firmament Holy Lord didn't answer. After saying that, his figure disappeared.
"The Holy Lord is truly mysterious and unfathomable. It seems he is about to take that step," the Violet Firmament Holy Land representative exclaimed.
Elder Zishan naturally knew which step he was talking about. The Holy Lord's cultivation had already reached the peak of the Carefree realm. The next step would naturally be to break through to become a Saint.
...
At this moment, Shen Zhong had arrived at the place where Li Beifei killed the Shen family's Fifth Elder. He saw that the area within dozens of miles was a mess, clearly the aftermath of a great battle. Soon, Shen Zhong discovered the Fifth Elder's corpse.
"Hmm?" Shen Zhong couldn't help but feel a chill down below when he saw the Fifth Elder's miserable state.
"Huan'er!" The thought of his own son dying in the same way filled Shen Zhong with extreme sorrow. To die and be cut off from descendants, how ruthless and heartless must one be to do such a thing.
"Li Yifei, I will tear you to pieces! Not only you, but everyone who is related to you will suffer eternal damnation!"
Shen Zhong roared angrily at the sky, his hair standing on end, filled with rage. Just as he was about to take off and continue chasing Li Beifei, he was stopped by a figure.
"Who are you?" Shen Zhong frowned as he looked at the person. It was a stunningly beautiful figure, dressed in white, moving without wind, with bare jade feet. Under normal circumstances, Shen Zhong might have taken a few more glances with appreciation, but he was now anxious to avenge Shen Huan. Even if the person before him was as beautiful as a celestial being, he was extremely irritated.
"Your cultivation is too high!" The White Tiger Demon Emperor said softly.
"What?" Shen Zhong was confused.
"I can't let you chase Little Feifei!"
"Little Feifei..."
Before Shen Zhong could finish speaking, he was stunned. He discovered that his body was slowly disappearing.
"You..." Shen Zhong wanted to look at the White Tiger Demon Emperor and ask her who she was, but he found that the White Tiger Demon Emperor had already disappeared, and he was gradually disappearing as well, as if he had never appeared in this world.
In the clouds, Gu Changsheng smiled wryly. He had only said, "Shen Zhong's cultivation is too high relative to my rebellious disciple," and the White Tiger Demon Emperor had decisively taken action.
"Little Feifei?" Gu Changsheng smiled wryly again after hearing this address.
This was the White Tiger Demon Emperor's favoritism towards Li Beifei. If Li Beifei knew, he would probably be moved to tears. Finally, someone cared about him!
...
After Li Beifei, with the cooperation of Li Wangba and Black Dragon, quickly killed the Shen family's Fifth Elder, they passed by a mortal village. They originally wanted to stop for a while, but the thought of being chased made them realize that staying in this mountain village might bring disaster to these mortals who worked from sunrise to sunset, so they continued to flee.
Black Dragon was naturally Big Black Dog. He strongly protested against Li Beifei and the others calling him Big Black Dog, but it was impossible to get Li Beifei and the others to call him Dragon Lord, so they each took a step back and called him Black Dragon.
A dog calling himself a dragon, if others knew, they would probably laugh their teeth out.
About half an hour later, on a towering mountain, Black Dragon panted heavily on the ground.
"I can't do it anymore, Dragon Lord can't run anymore!"
Black Dragon lay on the ground on all fours, unwilling to get up and run no matter how much Li Beifei promised him benefits.
"Dead dog, are you really up to it?" Li Wangba sarcastically said.
"Damn it, if you're so capable, you come! I'll sit on you!" Black Dragon was not provoked by Li Wangba's words at all. If he couldn't see through this dead turtle's trick, he would have lived in vain for so many years.
"Tch, if it were back then, your Turtle Grandpa could have destroyed them with a single thought, leaving them in eternal damnation." Li Wangba reminisced about the past, wishing he could return to the era when even the Red Dust Heavenly Emperor called him senior. Damn it, how did his cultivation disappear? He couldn't remember at all.
"Back then? If it were back then, would I have been bitten by you?" Black Dragon said with disdain.
"You fart, back then I was a Chaos Black Turtle, a fart could have killed you, a dog."
"Ah, yes, yes, yes, what you're saying now really sounds like a fart, stinky and unbearable."
Li Beifei saw that these two were at it again and quickly stopped them.
"Enough, you two, give me a break."
But the turtle and the dog only glanced at him and continued their verbal battle.
"Damn it, if you two keep bickering, the benefits I promised you earlier will be gone." Li Beifei was furious when he saw that these two didn't give him any face.
These words were quite threatening, and the turtle and the dog immediately stopped.
The benefits were naturally to help them restore their cultivation. This was difficult, but Li Wangba knew that a mysterious and unfathomable Gu Changsheng stood behind Li Beifei, who might really be able to help them restore their cultivation.
