Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

”Damn it!”

He watched as Xuan Tianzhan and Xue Yi departed.

Yang Xiao’s expression soured. He hadn’t expected Xuan Tianxin to be so decisive, sending them into the Sword Mansion without another word.

It left him unable to pursue them even if he wanted to.

He could only watch helplessly as they left.

He was resentful, extremely resentful.

’Since I can’t kill Xuan Tianzhan, I’ll just have to kill these people first!’

Killing intent flared within Yang Xiao.

Before, he hadn’t moved against the people of the Profound Celestial Sect because Xuan Tianxin and Xue Yi were present.

But now...

Xue Yi was gone.

Only Xuan Tianxin remained.

’It might not be impossible to pull off.’

With this in mind, Yang Xiao’s gaze swept over the other members of the Profound Celestial Sect, sizing them up, his killing intent stirring.

Seeing such a look from this murderous star,

this time, it wasn’t just the ordinary Profound Celestial Sect disciples—even the heart of Xuan Tianxin, the Profound Celestial Sect’s own Ancestor, began to pound uncontrollably.

’This kid... he’s not thinking of going on another massacre, is he?’

If that was truly the case, Xuan Tianxin felt genuinely uneasy.

But on second thought,

Xuan Tianxin relaxed.

In the entire Profound Celestial Sect, there were only a handful of people he cared about.

The one he valued most, Xuan Tianzhan, had already entered the Northern Wilderness Sword Mansion.

Besides him, there was Xuan Shangqing.

Although he was usually very strict with Xuan Shangqing,

in reality, for a man with such a strong desire for power to allow Xuan Shangqing to serve as the Sect Leader of the Profound Celestial Sect was telling.

It showed the place Xuan Shangqing held in his heart.

Of course, mistakes still had to be punished.

That was just Xuan Tianxin’s nature.

As for everyone else,

to Xuan Tianxin, they were divided into two categories: useful and useless.

If the useful ones died, he would feel the loss.

If the useless ones died, it didn’t matter how many.

Therefore, even if Yang Xiao went on a killing spree right now, as long as Xuan Shangqing wasn’t the one who died, he wouldn’t care too much. At most, he’d feel a brief pang of regret.

It was just like before.

The Five Great Sects had pledged allegiance to him.

Four of those Sects were annihilated right in front of him.

The old man didn’t even bat an eye.

He was completely indifferent.

Because they were merely pawns.

Just as everyone from the Profound Celestial Sect and the Ice Profound Sect was feeling terrified,

Yang Xiao noticed two people whose expressions were remarkably calm.

”Hm? Them?”

Yang Xiao was slightly taken aback.

These two were Yang Tian and Zhang Mengfei. Speaking of them, they were a bit strange.

Before Yang Xiao had even made his move, Yang Tian had pulled Zhang Mengfei to a spot that wasn’t exactly remote, but was in a blind spot of Yang Xiao’s attacks, and they had stayed there the entire time.

As a result, they were completely overlooked. Even later, when Xuan Tianxin activated the Northern Wilderness Sword Order, he forgot about these two.

And so, they were left behind.

Of course, Yang Xiao didn’t have any particular ill will toward these two. It didn’t matter to him whether he killed them or not.

Especially Zhang Mengfei. While he felt it was a pity for him to be in this situation for his sister’s sake, he still held a degree of admiration for him.

As for that Yang Tian, he was shrouded in mystery. Although he appeared to be an Immortal Cultivator, Yang Xiao always felt that something was off about him.

He didn’t target them.

’Killing those two doesn’t matter, but Xuan Shangqing and Bing Wuying... ’

Just as Yang Xiao was plotting how to deal with the remaining members of the Profound Celestial Sect, the voice of the Pure Yang Ancestor rang out.

”Young Master Yang, this old one has another Northern Wilderness Sword Order. You should go with Ziling and Miss Bing Xin. I can see that the Profound Celestial Sect has been scheming for a long time; they must have a grand plan. I hope you can stop them and prevent them from succeeding.”

Hearing this, Yang Xiao was slightly taken aback.

He turned around.

”Pure Yang Ancestor, as far as I know, some disciples of your Pure Yang Sword Sect are still alive, just imprisoned. And surely, there are still people within your Sect, right?”

Yang Xiao said.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t considered the Northern Wilderness Sword Order in the Pure Yang Ancestor’s possession.

But, it was someone else’s property, after all.

Yang Xiao wasn’t so shameless as to demand it from him, although given the debt of gratitude the Pure Yang Ancestor owed him for saving his life, he probably could have.

But that was something...

Yang Xiao couldn’t bring himself to do.

”Young Master Yang, you jest. This old one is well aware of the Pure Yang Sword Sect’s situation. Besides Ziling, who is a promising talent, the others... forget them. Moreover, this old one acted against you earlier and was greatly disrespectful. If not for your mercy, Young Master, I would already be dead, and this Token would have fallen into your hands regardless.”

”Furthermore, the Northern Wilderness Sword Mansion is no small matter. If the Profound Celestial Sect truly gets what it wants there, I fear it will be the beginning of a disaster for the entire Celestial Cloud Region. Therefore, this old one begs you, Young Master, to put a stop to it all.”

The Pure Yang Ancestor’s words were sincere and earnest.

Although Yang Xiao was somewhat reluctant to accept,

he also knew that the Pure Yang Ancestor was right.

The Profound Celestial Sect probably did have a grand plan.

Besides, to be honest, he was also very curious about this Northern Wilderness Sword Mansion.

Now that the other party had put it like that,

refusing again would make him seem like he was putting on airs, feigning noble disinterest.

He didn’t say any more and just nodded. ”Alright, I’ll go. But I’ll have to trouble you with the situation out here, Ancestor. Oh, right, I have a brother. Can he come along too?”

”Is it the little one from the Lu Family? Of course, you can.”

The Pure Yang Ancestor smiled.

Yang Xiao wasn’t surprised by this. The Pure Yang Ancestor had lived for several hundred years. To ordinary people, the Lu Family was a mysterious existence.

But for someone like him, that wasn’t the case.

”Then I thank you, Elder Pure Yang.”

Yang Xiao also returned a respectful salute.

Having accepted a favor,

he naturally couldn’t keep calling him an old coot or an old fossil.

”Little Friend, you are too polite. But time waits for no one. You should enter the Northern Wilderness Sword Mansion quickly. Once inside, I hope you can take good care of Ziling.”

Master Pure Yang was now addressing him as ”Little Friend.”

Their relationship instantly became much closer.

Yang Xiao nodded, but he didn’t immediately ask the Pure Yang Ancestor to send him and the others into the Northern Wilderness Sword Mansion.

”Elder, please allow me to take care of some loose ends first.”

As he spoke, he once again looked toward the Profound Celestial Sect.

His killing intent began to rise.

The Pure Yang Ancestor frowned. How could he fail to see Yang Xiao’s intentions? But right now, the most important thing was to enter the Northern Wilderness Sword Mansion.

He immediately tried to persuade him, ”Xuan Tianxin is an indifferent man. The only ones he truly cares about are the father and son, Xuan Shangqing and Xuan Tianzhan. No matter how many others you kill, he won’t care. It would be better to enter the Sword Mansion first and deal with exterminating the Profound Celestial Sect after you come out.”

”Xuan Shangqing, you say?”

But Yang Xiao just smiled.

He had wanted to kill this man and Bing Wuying from the start.

Now, hearing the Pure Yang Ancestor say this, his killing intent grew even more intense.

And his resolve hardened.

Yang Xiao waved his hand and said, ”I appreciate your good intentions, Elder. I’m not someone who doesn’t understand priorities. But, since that old coot still has people he cares about, how can I let him have an easy time out here?”

”What you mean is?”

Yang Xiao gave a mysterious smile.

He didn’t answer.

Instead, he looked inexplicably into the distance.

There,

there seemed to be nothing at all.

But soon, a terrifying Light Arrow appeared.

SWOOSH!

It shot toward Xuan Tianxin.

However, what no one noticed was that just before the Light Arrow appeared, the mysterious Yang Tian had once again pulled Zhang Mengfei to another location.

There was even a hint of excitement in his eyes.

It was as if a good show was about to begin.
