In the early morning, as the first rays of sunlight fell upon the ancient city walls of the capital, the city's inhabitants emerged from their homes. Just like every other day, they went about their respective duties.
Adults went to work, students to school, and the constant honking of car horns filled the streets. The entire city seemed to come alive, bustling and prosperous.
Everything appeared perfectly normal, but it was precisely this normalcy that felt eerie.
The capital seemed as if nothing had happened throughout the night.
"What's going on? What exactly happened? Where are the people from the various factions? Where is Li Xiaotian? What happened last night?"
The powerful individuals who had secretly projected their consciousness were stunned, their minds filled with confusion. The capital before their eyes gave them the impression that nothing had occurred.
"Damn it!!! Where are my people from the Wuyun Sect? Why are they all gone?!"
From the shadows, a powerful figure exclaimed, his tone filled with shock. He couldn't sense his people within the capital; his eight Emperor-level experts had vanished as if into thin air.
"I haven't detected anyone from my sect either. What happened last night? Where did they all go?"
Gradually, the sects that had dispatched experts to the capital discovered this problem – their people were missing!
This was utterly inconceivable and chilling. They considered one grim possibility: Li Xiaotian had not died, and all their people had been wiped out!
"This is impossible!!! With over a hundred Emperor-level experts, they could have destroyed Great Qin countless times. How could they all have disappeared!"
Someone roared, filled with disbelief.
"Quickly dispatch people to the capital to question Great Qin about what exactly happened last night! Demand an explanation from Great Qin!!"
The leaders of the sects issued orders. Each sect involved had dispatched at least five or six Emperor-level experts. To lose them all like this was unacceptable.
"They're gone, could it be that Li Xiaotian killed them all? How is that possible?! Does Li Xiaotian have that strength?"
Slowly, some began to realize that they might have been tricked by Li Xiaotian. But they couldn't comprehend how he had accomplished it.
"To kill over a hundred Emperor-level experts in one night, Li Xiaotian might have broken through to the Overlord realm?"
Someone said with a tremor, suddenly feeling a chill. If Li Xiaotian had broken through to the Overlord realm, everything would make sense. But could Li Xiaotian break through to the Overlord realm? How long had he been cultivating?
Just as everyone's attention was focused on the capital, Li Xiaotian appeared outside the stronghold of an ancient sect.
Behind him were Long Shiwu and fourteen other Emperor-level experts, along with dozens of Dragon God Mechs.
And before him stood the ancient sect, Wuyun Sect!!!
As soon as he learned that the twenty warriors from Qin Palace had been killed by people from the Wuyun Sect, Li Xiaotian had decided to annihilate them.
The Wuyun Sect, clearly, had not yet discovered Li Xiaotian's arrival. Some of their powerful figures had been killed by Li Xiaotian last night, while others were entirely focused on the movements in the capital, paying no attention to their surroundings.
In essence, they had never considered anyone would dare attack them. Everyone else feared them, who would dare to proactively attack them?
"Buzz!"
Li Xiaotian gripped his blade with both hands, the surrounding heaven and earth energy surging into him. His aura continuously climbed, and his blade grew sharper.
"Crack! Crack!"
The space along the edge of his long blade seemed to shatter, creating layers of ripples.
Gradually, the entire sky began to change, clouds churning. Energy from several miles around converged.
As if a storm was approaching, everyone felt a strong sense of crisis at this moment.
"Who is it?! How dare you!!!"
At this point, the Wuyun Sect experts finally discovered Li Xiaotian and his entourage. An Emperor-level expert instantly ascended, and upon sensing the long blade in Li Xiaotian's hand, his face changed drastically. He quickly retreated to the sect, shouting.
"Enemy attack!!! Powerful enemy approaching!!! Strengthen the protective mountain array!!"
However, despite his swift reaction, it was too late.
"Rumble!!!"
Li Xiaotian swung his blade. At this moment, the sky seemed to split open, the earth trembled, and the mountain gate of the Wuyun Sect appeared insignificant before this world-altering phenomenon.
A rift seemed to open in the air, spreading infinitely towards the Wuyun Sect's protective mountain array.
"Boom!!!"
A world-shattering roar erupted, followed by a blinding light from the Wuyun Sect's mountain gate. A terrifying wave of energy instantly exploded, stirring up violent winds in the surrounding area.
The protective mountain array was broken!!!
"Who?! Who dares to destroy my Wuyun Sect's mountain gate?!! You are courting death!!!"
At this moment, the Wuyun Sect experts finally reacted. Figures radiating powerful auras ascended, each filled with immense fury.
Leading them was an old man in black robes, whose aura was incredibly terrifying. He was the Sect Master of the Wuyun Sect, Wu Hai, a peak Emperor-level expert.
"It's you! Li Xiaotian!!!"
Wu Hai was slightly stunned upon seeing Li Xiaotian but quickly regained his composure. His eyes turned bloodshot as he stared intently at Li Xiaotian and shouted.
"Li Xiaotian, you are seeking death!!! You destroyed our sect's array, I will make you wish you were never born!!!"
Saying this, he charged towards Li Xiaotian. Li Xiaotian tilted his head slightly, his gaze cold as he looked at Wu Hai. Then, he raised his long blade and calmly stated.
"The Wuyun Sect wantonly killed my Great Qin warriors and provoked Great Qin. Today, Great Qin shall seek justice! Kill!!! Leave no one alive!!!"
Li Xiaotian shouted, raising his blade and charging forward. Following him, Long Shiwu and the others, including the Dragon God Mechs, also surged forward.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
Countless projectiles were fired from the Dragon God Mechs towards the Wuyun Sect, immediately causing a series of explosions. The entire Wuyun Sect was engulfed in flames.
"Damn you!! You will all die!!"
The Wuyun Sect experts roared upon seeing this, their expressions contorted and their eyes bloodshot as they glared at the people of Great Qin before furiously charging at them.
At this moment, Wu Hai unleashed his terrifying aura, shooting towards Li Xiaotian like a beam of light. His rage and killing intent could be felt even from a distance.
"Die!!!"
Wu Hai roared. A colossal palm suddenly materialized from the clouds and slammed towards Li Xiaotian. Terrifying fluctuations emanated from it, pushing towards Li Xiaotian with a booming sound.
"Hmph!"
Li Xiaotian sneered at the sight, a trace of mockery flashing in his eyes. He forcefully swung his long blade.
"Boom!"
Instantly, Wu Hai's giant palm shattered, but Li Xiaotian's blade light continued to rush towards Wu Hai.
"What?!! This is impossible!!!"
Wu Hai was shocked. He was a peak Emperor-level expert. Even if Li Xiaotian was in peak condition, he shouldn't have been able to break his attack so easily.
And now, Li Xiaotian had casually neutralized his cloud palm, and what shocked him even more was that the power of Li Xiaotian's blade had not dissipated at all!
