Over the village of Gu, as Jinlian was slapped twice by Venerable Yue, she was instantly enraged and frantic.
But who would have thought that as she hurled curses, the temperature of the world instantly dropped.
Venerable Yue reappeared before Jinlian and slapped her again.
This blow directly deformed Jinlian's face.
"One more foul word and I'll kill you!"
Venerable Yue's voice was calm, her killing intent boiling.
Behind them, Huang Mang and the others were furious and wanted to act, but the old man holding the saber stood beside them, making them afraid to move. Moreover, they sensed that two more killing intents from the depths of Gu Village were locked onto them.
"Venerable Yue, please show mercy!"
Huang Mang shouted, while repeatedly giving Jinlian meaningful glances, afraid that the latter would lose control and anger Venerable Yue again.
"Venerable Yue, fellow Daoist Jinlian was also impulsive. You've already slapped her three times, which is enough!"
Ancestor Shenzong said, feeling wronged but helpless, as they were on someone else's territory.
Furthermore, it happened that Li Xiaotian's wife and daughter were descendants of the Yue family, and the junior Jinlian had scolded was also a descendant of the Yue family.
The Yue family only had these four people, and Jinlian had offended three of them at once. How could Venerable Yue not be angry?
One must know that this person dared to fight with a supreme powerhouse in ancient times. If she hadn't appeared this time, they would have forgotten her fearsome reputation.
A formidable woman, not inferior to any man, who suffocated all the heavenly talents of her generation.
At this moment, Jinlian had calmed down and forced herself not to say a word, but she glared venomously at Venerable Yue.
"Slap!"
Unexpectedly, Venerable Yue slapped her again.
"Don't look at me like that. If you're not convinced, then curse it out!"
Venerable Yue said with a mocking tone.
"You!!"
Jinlian gritted her teeth, trembling with anger, but considering the gap in strength between them, she forcibly restrained herself.
She lowered her head, burying the resentment in her eyes.
Seeing this, Huang Mang and the others, though angry, could only endure.
"Heh heh."
The old man holding the saber chuckled and then instantly vanished from his spot.
"Get lost! You have quite the nerve to come to Gu Village demanding people!"
Venerable Yue snorted coldly and turned back into the sky above Gu Village.
Huang Mang and the others looked displeased. They had come aggressively to demand people, only to be so humiliated.
"Venerable Yue, may I ask if Gu Village also intends to interfere in our revenge?"
Huang Mang asked, unwilling to accept it.
"Looking for a beating?"
Venerable Yue glared at him coldly, her expression icy.
Seeing this, Huang Mang's scalp went numb. Why was this woman so unreasonable?
"Ahem, Venerable Yue, although Gu Village has deep foundations, our combined sects are not to be trifled with so easily."
Ancestor Shenzong coughed and said. Leaving just like this would mean losing face.
"Hmm, so what? You're not convinced? If you want the people, fine. Destroy my Gu Village, and you can take whomever you want."
Venerable Yue sneered.
Seeing such an overbearing Venerable Yue, Huang Mang and the others wore grim expressions.
"We only want two ants. Why are you, senior, so overbearing?"
It was Jinlian who spoke. Unable to capture Li Xiaotian's wife and daughter, she was very unwilling. Thus, even if it meant angering Venerable Yue again, she had to say it.
"Ants?"
Venerable Yue's face darkened again upon hearing this. She narrowed her eyes at Jinlian, radiating killing intent, and said in a flat tone.
"Say one more word, two what? In my eyes, either of those two is more important than you slut. Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"
Hearing this, Jinlian's face flushed with anger, but she forcibly suppressed it.
Huang Mang quickly stepped in front of Jinlian and looked at Venerable Yue, saying.
"Venerable Yue, there's no need to be angry. Since Gu Village is unwilling to hand over the people, we shall take our leave."
In fact, Huang Mang and Ancestor Shenzong were both peak Heavenly level experts. The six of them working together were not weaker than Gu Village.
However, they did not want to go to war with Gu Village. Their opponent was Li Xiaotian, and Li Xiaotian alone.
But if Gu Village intervened to help Li Xiaotian, it would be extremely difficult for them to kill Li Xiaotian.
"Hmph! Yue'e, escort them out! Next time some blind fool dares to provoke us, strike them down directly. If anything happens, auntie will bear the responsibility!"
Venerable Yue snorted coldly and returned to the depths of the village.
"Everyone, please leave!"
Yue'e said with a smile to Huang Mang and the others, her face mocking, her eyes filled with disdain.
Seeing this, Huang Mang and the others were inwardly furious but could only swallow their anger and leave.
"This matter cannot be let go!"
After Huang Mang and the others had moved far away from Gu Village, Huang Mang said to everyone, his face grim.
"Indeed. Gu Village, the Dao Sect, and the Sword Pavilion, they all have good relationships with Li Xiaotian. Although they have not explicitly declared their intention to interfere, we fear that at critical moments, they will all make a move. By then, it won't be Li Xiaotian who dies."
Ancestor Shenzong said in a deep voice, feeling a sense of crisis.
"Why does that bastard get it? He's just an ant, why do so many people help him?"
Jinlian said with an unwilling, ferocious expression.
"We cannot harbor any侥幸心理. I propose we mobilize all our territories and prepare for a major war with them!"
Huang Mang said, his expression solemn, his eyes filled with killing intent.
The others were all shocked by this suggestion, and then they nodded. Originally, they thought that with the six of them acting, Li Xiaotian was bound to die.
But with the intervention of Dao Xuan and Jian Chen, and Gu Village's stance, they all felt that things were becoming increasingly difficult.
Li Xiaotian was not so easy to kill.
It might even lead to a large-scale war involving all Heavenly level experts!
"I will awaken my junior brother. His lifespan is not long, and I had originally planned to awaken him only when our sect faced a crisis of extinction,"
The Sect Master of Shenzong thought for a moment and said.
"I will also return to awaken the Ancestor. The Desolate Hall still has some foundation,"
Huang Mang said, his eyes gleaming.
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the people present changed.
The Ancestor of the Desolate Hall was a very ancient existence, the founder of the Desolate Hall, and a contemporary of the Dao Master and the Tongtian Sword Master.
The Dao Master had achieved the status of an invincible powerhouse and had long since left this world. The Tongtian Sword Master was currently the supreme being of Yan Province, at the peak of the Heavenly level.
Although the Master of the Desolate Hall was not as powerful as these two, his strength was also terrifying, at least a top-tier expert among the late Heavenly level.
"Heh heh, my Shenhuo Sect has no foundation, but I can also add another Heavenly level expert."
Ancestor Huoling smiled and said, then looked into the distance.
Everyone followed his gaze and saw a stream of fire flying towards them. The other party was clearly also a Heavenly level expert, but his aura was somewhat weak, only possessing the strength of an early Heavenly level.
"Ancestor, junior greets all seniors!"
The newcomer said to Huang Mang and the others, with a respectful expression.
