Li Mu, Luo You, and several other Celestial Masters stepped forward and knelt on one knee in front of Ling Xiao. "Greetings, Palace Master!"
The people of the Wu Clan were speechless with their mouths wide open.
They could not wrap their heads around it. The young man in front of them was actually the Palace Master of the Proud Smiling Palace. What the hell was going on?
The Proud Smiling Palace had only been established for a few months, but it was already famous in the Central Region. Not only were they allies of the Dongfang Clan and the Feng Clan, but they also had a lot of friendship with the Spiritual Martial Pavilion. Moreover, they had killed the five thousand experts of the Black Demon Sect one by one. This reputation and record were enough to make them look up to many forces.
Before the Proud Smiling Palace became famous, as the Palace Master of the Proud Smiling Palace, Ling Xiao had already caused a sensation in the Central Region. His every battle record was so impressive that people could only look up to him. In the end, he even made the Gu Clan, who issued the Gu Killing Order, put down their pride and asked for peace.
These achievements had already made Ling Xiao the strongest genius of the new generation. He was also the idol of countless young people in the Central Region and the person the older generation looked up to.
As a fifth-grade family, the Wu Clan did not know the movements in the Central Region like the back of their hand, but they could still receive information about some big things quickly.
Of course, they had already heard about the Proud Smiling Palace and Ling Xiao.
They did not expect that the person who caused trouble in their Wu Clan City and crippled their disciples was from the Proud Smiling Palace. Moreover, the Palace Master was here in person.
Suddenly, they all felt a little suffocated.
Wu Chang felt his blood boiling. He originally wanted to ask Li Mu and the others to help the Wu Clan, but was it still possible now?
When Li Mu came to the Wu Clan to buy indigo firestones, there was already a terrifying Emperor Xuan by his side. Now, Ling Xiao also had Emperor Xuan by his side. Moreover, Ling Xiao's combat power was superior. It would be a piece of cake for him to deal with them, or even all of the Wu Clan.
"They said they want you to deal with me?" Ling Xiao said with a playful look.
His words were directed at Li Mu and the others, but his eyes were fixed on Wu Chang and the others.
The faces of the people of the Wu Clan were already pale to the extreme. They didn't dare to imagine the consequences of provoking such a force.
Wu Chang, who was sitting on the chair, panicked and actually flipped over and sat down on the chair.
He, a Patriarch of a Fifth Grade Clan, actually put on airs in front of a Palace Lord of a Third Grade Sect, and even threatened to kill them all. This time, he was completely flustered.
"Palace Master, I went to their Wu Clan to take the Indigo Fire Stone and came out with them on the way. I didn't expect them to offend you, Palace Master. How would I dare to be disrespectful to Palace Master!"
Li Mu said to Ling Xiao, then he turned around and glared at Wu Chang, "Patriarch Wu, how dare you disrespect our Palace Master!"
Wu Chang got up from the ground, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said with a smile, "This … this is definitely …"
Before he could finish speaking, Ling Xiao said impatiently, "There's no need to say anything. Your Wu Clan dared to cripple my Old Master and even tortured him for more than a year. This matter must be paid with the blood of everyone in your Wu Clan."
Ling Xiao's words were resolute and decisive, leaving no room for negotiation.
Regardless of whether the other people of the Wu Clan were innocent or not, his Old Master was indeed crippled by the people of the Wu Clan, and he suffered all kinds of humiliation. If he didn't massacre the Wu Clan, it would be hard for him to swallow this anger.
At the same time, he also wanted to prove one thing to everyone, and that was that no one in Ling Xiao's family could be casually touched. Otherwise, he would suffer ten times the salary.
As soon as Ling Xiao's words fell, the people of the Proud Smiling Palace took action at the same time, killing Geng Hong, Fang Chen, and Luo You, the three great Mystic Emperors.
A total of dozens of people from the Wu Clan came, but they didn't even have the chance to escape from the restaurant before they were killed one by one, including the Wu Clan's Patriarch Wu Chang.
When they went to hell, they would cry out for injustice!
Of course, Ling Xiao wouldn't just kill these people. If he said that he would massacre the Wu Clan, he would definitely do it.
Thus, he let Li Mu and the others bring Luo You, Fang Chen, and the other Empyreans to attack the Wu Clan, leaving only Geng Hong behind.
One day later, everyone in the Wu Clan was killed.
This matter caused great panic in the Wu Clan City, and everyone was in danger.
They couldn't understand why the Wu Clan, who had dominated this place for thousands of years, would be finished just like that. This was simply too unexpected.
On the second day after the Wu Clan was exterminated, countless rumors spread throughout the city.
"Have you heard? The Wu Clan was wiped out. What the hell is going on?"
"You don't even know? I heard that Master Wu San offended a beggar. Unexpectedly, the beggar had a very powerful background. As a result, the Wu Clan was wiped out. So in the future, you should be polite to the beggar, lest you die without knowing what happened."
"It's not like that. The beggar was crippled by the people of the Wu Clan. That beggar happened to be an elder of the Palace Lord of the Proud Smiling Palace. The Wu Clan kicked an iron plate and was wiped out. It's a pity that they lost thousands of years of foundation!"
"No wonder. The Palace Lord of the Proud Smiling Palace isn't even afraid of the Black Demon Sect, so why would he care about the Wu Clan? Isn't he courting death?"
…
No matter how the rumors spread, the prestige of the Proud Smiling Palace was once again spread.
Within the central territory, a sixth and seventh rank power could only be considered to be the weakest type of Sect or Clan, and these two ranks were the most numerous. On the other hand, only a power that had attained the fifth rank could be considered to be an overlord of an area, and it possessed a certain level of reputation. It wasn't something that just any power could easily touch.
The fact that such a fifth-grade force was completely annihilated in just one day and one night was enough to attract a lot of attention.
Those forces all knew that the people of the Proud Smiling Palace were overbearing, so they began to restrain their own people. In the future, if they met the people of the Proud Smiling Palace, they must be courteous. They must absolutely not provoke the people of the Proud Smiling Palace.
Otherwise, it would be a tragedy if the Wu Clan suffered the same fate as the Wu Clan.
With the destruction of the Wu Clan, the industries occupied by the Wu Clan began to be fought over by many forces.
Especially the indigo firestones that were mined by the Wu Clan, several sixth grade forces were fighting over them with all their might.
For a time, the places that the Wu Clan had occupied were filled with the flames of war and blood everywhere.
…
Ling Xiao and the others, who had eradicated the Wu Clan, had already left the Wu Clan City. Naturally, they did not know what happened later.
With Ling He in Ling Xiao's group, the speed of their journey was not affected.
Ling He also learned from Bai Yuxi on the way that he, a junior who was at the level of a great-grandson, had actually made a name for himself in the Central Region. All kinds of deeds made him even more shocked.
Thinking back to more than ten years ago, when Ling Xiao had just left Meteorite City, he was just a young man at the middle stage of the Mystic Realm. In the blink of an eye, he had actually become a high-level Celestial Master. He also held the power of a palace and became the Palace Master who was above everyone else. He even clashed with the top aristocratic families of the Central Region and did not lose the upper hand.
As an elder of Ling Xiao, he felt extremely proud of his achievements. He was so excited that tears welled up in his old eyes.
Their Ling Family had finally produced a remarkable figure!
This time, when Ling Xiao returned to the northwest, he planned to move the Ling Clan to the Central Region. Ling He firmly believed that the Ling Clan would also become a big family in the Central Region in the near future.
At the same time, he was also secretly praising Ling Xiao's character. He had become an overlord, but he still did not forget his clan. Such a person was most worthy of respect and following!
"Even if I am crippled for the rest of my life, I can still see the prosperity of the clan. I am also comforted!" Ling He sighed happily.
As the Supreme Elder of the Ling Clan, Ling He had always protected the safety and prosperity of the clan. Now that he had lost all his cultivation, he also opened his heart and did not care too much about his own cultivation when he saw that Ling Xiao had grown up.
Anyway, the Ling Clan was destined to prosper. He was quite satisfied.
"Old Master, didn't I tell you before? Young Master is now a Grade Seven Alchemist. With him, your cultivation will definitely come back, and it won't be a problem for you to go a step further." Bai Yuxi said.
Bai Yuxi had followed her Young Master for many years and knew of her Young Master's various brilliant methods. She believed that her Young Master was an omnipotent existence and had blind trust in her Young Master. She also firmly believed that Ling Xiao would definitely be able to help Ling He recover his strength.
Ling He laughed, "Haha, of course I believe in Xiao 'er, but if the price is too high, then forget it."
Of course, Ling He also wanted to recover his cultivation, but he did not want to make things difficult for Ling Xiao. It was not easy to refine a Grade Seven Pill, and the spirit herbs needed were even rarer. He did not want to drag Ling Xiao down because of this.
Ling Xiao said from the side, "Old Master, don't think too much. When we return to the clan, I will immediately refine a pill to help you recover. This matter cannot be any easier for Xiao 'er."
After hearing this, Ling He's eyes lit up. Since Ling Xiao had said so, he would definitely believe him.
"Good, it seems that my old bones can still move for a few more years," Ling He said happily.
"Don't worry, Old Master. You still have a long life ahead of you," Bai Yuxi said again.
"That's right. Once my husband becomes a Saint Alchemist, it will be hard for you not to advance. At that time, you will have an endless lifespan." Yu Lieyan had a sweet mouth and also chimed in.
Bing Ruoshui did not want to be outdone, "Yes, when that time comes, we will always be filial to you."
At the same time, she also looked at Yu Lieyan.
Although the relationship between the two women had improved a lot, as long as they were together, it was inevitable that they would fight a little.
"Haha, it's good that you have the heart," Ling He said happily.
Another month passed, and Ling Xiao and the others finally arrived at the Blood Demon Region that led to the northwest and the Southern Wasteland.
As long as they passed through the Blood Demon Region, they would be able to return to the Southern Wasteland's Gu City.
Feng Xianyun was getting more and more excited. She would finally be able to see her grandfather and son, whom she had missed for a long time.
