The Dai Family was plunged into utter chaos as the clan elders desperately fled for their lives. The remaining warriors of the Dai Family were also running frantically, not daring to stop for a moment.
Never in their wildest dreams had they imagined they’d experience a day like this, a day when people would come to their doorstep to kill them – even their revered patriarch who had reached the cultivation level of Refining God was dead!
In this moment, treasures stored in the secret vaults, the dignity of their prominent family, the family’s reputation, all were forgotten.
Every single one of them regretted not having trained their movement technique well enough, cursing their excruciatingly slow speed.
When the corpse of the Qingtian Jiao appeared, they were shocked and terrified but they did not consider escaping because they had a “Refining God” power to protect them.
As expected, their Refining God patriarch had suppressed the Qingtian Jiao.
Then!
The terrifying young man killed their Refining God patriarch with just a couple of slashes of his sword.
And in the blink of an eye, he had butchered several of their grand elders!
The remaining elders, scared out of their wits, disappeared in an instant.
The entire Dai Family was in disarray.
Peripheral warriors of the Dai Family, guards, servants and the like, all were stunned as they watched the high and mighty seniors and young masters of the Dai Family run like madmen.
They also took to their heels and ran.
Before long, the entire Dai Family house was in chaos.
“Run, the calamity of clan destruction is upon us!”
“Run! The Dai Family is finished!”
“Child, run, hide! The Dai Family is done for!”
Cries and screams echoed throughout the household, spreading more and more panic. The calamity of clan destruction was looming right before their eyes.
Subsequently, more and more people started to escape.
As for Xu Yan, after he had raided the treasure vault of the Dai family, he left without even bothering to look for other treasure vaults.
Having ambushed and killed the Dai Family’s Refining God Heavenly Man, he wouldn’t stand a chance against Dai Sheng if he returned!
Therefore, he hurriedly slipped away while Dai Sheng had not yet returned. The treasures from one vault were more than enough.
The anger from being chased by Dai Sheng was also more or less vented.
This time, he made a great gain!
Although he was hunted down once, he ended up taking down the Dai Family.
As he parted, Xu Yan’s sword light swept across everything, and as he swooped by, his surroundings instantly transformed into ruins.
Had not almost all the inhabitants of the Dai Family fled, numerous people would have been slaughtered.
Whoosh!
With a flash in the sky, Xu Yan left gracefully.
Yu Xiaolong, who was wrapped around Xu Yan’s wrist, was completely flabbergasted. Xu Yan had spoken of taking the Dai Family down, which scared it tremendously, but Xu Yan had actually done it!
He killed a Refining God Heavenly Man!
Despite the hairy situation, isn’t a Refining God Heavenly Man not someone you could just ambush?
However, Xu Yan had done it.
Yu Xiaolong now began to question if the martial arts Xu Yan was practicing were somewhat different.
While not a Refining God Heavenly Man, he possessed a Divine Soul power similar to a Refining God Heavenly Man, and even seemed to be more mysterious and special than the Divine Soul power.
Yu Xiaolong could not comprehend its sophistication.
“You’ve destroyed the Dai Family and killed their Refining God Heavenly Man. I’m sure Dai Sheng must be mad. The Jade God Sect and Su Family might possibly deploy Refining God Heavenly Men to squelch you!”
Yu Xiaolong said worriedly.
“It’s a small matter. They won’t be able to chase me. Once I break through, I’ll annihilate them and their treasures will become my cultivation resources.”
Xu Yan said unconcernedly.
The harvest this time was enormous. He had taken over one of the Dai Family’s treasure vaults, and there were so many treasures that he didn’t even have time to count them.
However, the mere twenty-plus storage bags that were stashed in the vault were very telling.
Let alone the vast troves of scriptures, Spiritual Artifacts, and other items in the large vault, which filled all the storage bags he was carrying.
If he hadn’t killed so many people and gotten so many storage bags, he wouldn’t have enough to carry everything.
“My junior brothers and sisters will no longer lack treasures to accumulate their foundations, and my junior sister will not lack Spiritual Medicine for Alchemy anymore.”
Xu Yan was thrilled.
Nothing could accumulate foundations faster than raiding the vault of a noble family.
Once he returns to Inner Domain this time, he won’t be in a hurry to come back to Ling Domain anymore since he has enough gathered from the Ling Domain. His parents’ and the others’ cultivation will also rapidly improve.
After Xu Yan put a substantial distance between him and the Dai Family, he put on his carefully chosen clothes, activated his True Yuan, changed his facial features, and even grew a few scruffs of beard on his chin.
Even his physique changed to become more burly and robust.
He had changed everything from his physique to his appearance and aura.
To return to the Inner Domain, he had to pass through the Gate of Lingyu. Therefore, he concealed his identity to avoid being tracked, especially since there are gatekeepers at the Gate of Lingyu.
The Jade God Sect and the Su Family had been chasing him for such a long time without revealing that he came from the Inner Domain. Either the keepers of the Gate of Lingyu did not participate in these disputes or they had some restrictions.
Or maybe they were isolated from the outside world news.
No matter what the reason, the fact that the keepers of the Gate of Lingyu hadn’t revealed that he came from the Inner Domain was a good thing.
But when returning to the Inner Domain, he had no intention of using his real identity.
He was going to fake the identity of a Spiritual Sect Warrior.
Regarding what Spiritual Sect Warrior, it wouldn’t matter; the realm of the Ling Domain is so vast that the gatekeeper cannot possibly know about all the forces.
All he needed to do was put on clothes bearing the insignia of the Spiritual Sect.
This was also revealed by Shen Haizhou, about the difference between Spiritual Sect raiment and that of a noble family. Other Loose Cultivators who didn’t understand this trick, would find it very difficult to impersonate a disciple of a Spiritual Sect or a noble family.
Of course, there were instances of Loose Cultivators impersonating as such, but all of those Cultivators ended up terribly in the end.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Loose Cultivators would never dare to impersonate the disciples of a Spiritual Sect or a noble family.
