The middle-aged woman sighed, lamenting, "No, you have no enmity with me. If you want to blame someone, it can only be your stubborn husbands who dared to oppose the Sacred Altar. Heh heh, I'm not saying this to be mean, but he's still too young. To date, there have been at least eight thousand people who dared to oppose the Sacred Altar, and countless more who were exceptionally talented. But what was the outcome? Without exception, they all turned to dust like smoke!"
"As for that Su Han, he's no different. Hmph, I can't refuse the Sacred Altar, so why should he!"
The middle-aged woman let out a sharp cry and instantly turned her gaze to Li Feier. After all, among these people, Li Feier possessed the strongest cultivation. Her first target was indeed Li Feier.
"Today, I'll collect some interest first. It's you, girl! You asked so many questions, you can't get away without paying a price, can you? I'll take your life as payment for your interrogation!"
It happened in an instant.
At this moment, with a light chuckle, the middle-aged woman lunged towards Li Feier!
After all, with Li Feier's current cultivation, she only needed to exert a little force, and Li Feier would die tragically on the spot. Moreover, she had already given Li Feier and the others a few chances.
Clearly, among the group, Li Feier was the one who annoyed her the most!
"Alright, after you die, I will ascend the supreme Dao in your stead. Heh heh... Remember my name, I am Nangong Yan!"
Nangong Yan!
As this name was spoken, a trace of grief and indignation inexplicably appeared on the middle-aged woman's face!
She was originally a proud scion of heaven, but unfortunately, she was abducted by the Sacred Altar and became a subordinate to those old fellows. It was a pity that all these years in the Sacred Altar, although she was considered an elder, she knew that her innate talent had been contributed to those old fellows.
Her cultivation, after reaching the Emperor Realm, had not advanced an inch, despite her extraordinary talent!
On several occasions, after being exploited excessively, she even risked falling in her cultivation realm. Even so, those old fellows only gave her a few days off, without even providing any restorative elixirs.
This was also why Nangong Yan usually appeared in an aged state. She simply couldn't withstand the consumption brought about by her youthful appearance and had to maintain herself in the most energy-saving manner to preserve a sliver of energy for survival.
"Killing you will sever your yearning for this Dao, and also grant you liberation!"
Nangong Yan sighed and looked at Li Feier. Countless times in the past, she had also wished to receive praise from her peers and friends like Li Feier. But later, things went against her wishes. Ever since she joined the Sacred Altar, her family had been exterminated by those old fellows, who claimed it was to solidify her Dao heart.
But she knew that it was because they wanted her to completely degenerate into a cultivation slave for those at the apex of the tower!
"Ah! Help..."
Suddenly, as Xu Yiran, who was beside them, cried out for help, and Li Feier was on the verge of disaster, while the other women stood by in stunned silence.
A bolt of lightning suddenly struck from the sky!
With a crack!
Instantly, the lightning was so fast that it directly struck towards Nangong Yan!
If she insisted on attacking Li Feier, this lightning would definitely strike her. It could be said that at this critical moment, as long as Nangong Yan did not insist on killing Li Feier, she would surely be able to dodge this attack.
Indeed!
Nangong Yan chose to dodge!
With a swish, as soon as she dodged, the lightning immediately split the ground, creating a terrifying crack!
It was enough to show the immense power it possessed!
"Who!"
Nangong Yan roared, unleashing a sonic attack that immediately shot towards the sky.
However, at this moment.
She saw streaks of red clouds flashing in the sky, transforming the midday weather into beautiful sunset clouds.
"Heh heh, what, three days apart, and you've already forgotten me!"
As soon as she said this, Nangong Yan was stunned for a moment. She looked around the air and chuckled, "Good, Su Han, so it's you. I didn't expect you to be so quick. Very good. Since you're here, you also know I've arrived at your home, right? If you don't want your entire family to die, then come out, kneel before me, kowtow a few times, and then return to the Sacred Altar with me!"
Upon hearing this, Su Han let out a hearty laugh.
He then said, "I say, Senior, you previously boasted of being a genius among geniuses, yet now you're doing such despicable things? I thought geniuses were all neat freaks. Turns out you're so unrefined. Alas, speaking of which, your threat doesn't really affect me. Feel free to kill my family, I don't care."
As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Yiran and the other women, although they knew that Su Han might be bluffing, still had tears in their eyes. After all, each of them deeply admired Su Han, and hearing this was difficult to accept.
However, clearly!
Nangong Yan did not believe this. She looked at Li Feier beside her and said directly, "Fine, you don't care, do you? Then I'll eliminate one of them first. Let's see how you, a half-step Emperor Realm cultivator, can stop me from killing an ordinary girl!"
As she spoke, Nangong Yan instantly launched a fierce attack!
After all, in her opinion, Su Han was a half-step Emperor Realm cultivator. Although he was only a step away from the Emperor Realm, that single step had cost her considerable effort to cross in the past, and she understood that the difference in strength across this single step could often be several times!
Just then!
As she was about to make her move, she suddenly felt an extremely terrifying power pressing down on her head.
It felt as if the entire sky had descended, and everything was crushing her, making it difficult to breathe!
"Damn it! Kid, you..."
Su Han laughed heartily and then said, "Who said I'm a half-step Emperor Realm cultivator? Heh heh, you're truly laughable, Nangong Yan. Do you know why I was hiding and not coming out earlier? It was to set up this Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Painting. And now, I'm sorry to tell you, you have entered my Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Painting. To break free, unless your strength far surpasses mine... Tsk tsk tsk, I'm sorry to tell you, my current strength is not some half-step Emperor Realm, but a true Emperor Realm!"
At this moment, Su Han was wearing the Great Emperor's cloak, exuding immense power!
Coupled with the setup of the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Painting, it could be said that Nangong Yan was completely at his mercy!
Upon hearing this.
Nangong Yan found it hard to believe, because the intelligence she had obtained before coming was that Su Han was still some distance away from the Emperor Realm, and when they had met before, she could also feel that Su Han indeed possessed the cultivation of a half-step Emperor Realm.
That was why she was fearless, thinking this mission was too easy!
But unfortunately!
Upon hearing about the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Painting, Nangong Yan suddenly realized that she had been too careless this time!
