I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 715 Stepping In to Support
This tall, thin man was none other than a True Immortal of the Twelve Assemblies, and his immortal power was immense and surging.

Upon seeing that the newcomer was Zhu Liao, a once-proud young master who ranked above her and was expected to inherit the mantle of the ancestor but was later squeezed out by her and who had always been at odds with her, Zhu Qiluo's face darkened and she rebuked him.

"Zhu Liao, how dare you trespass into my cave!"

"Haha, your cave dwelling? Zhu Qiluo, don't you know your current situation? If I were you, I would have gone to Blood Lake Ridge to apologize long ago, so as not to drag my clan down with me!" Zhu Liao mocked.

"That's right, he's just a living dead anyway. Even if he stays in the family, it's a waste of resources. He might as well make some contributions and sacrifices for the family!" one of Zhu Liao's followers mocked.

"This matter is for the Ancestor to decide. If the Ancestor wants me to go, I will go. If the Ancestor doesn't want me to go, he has his reasons, and how can I make such a decision on my own? Besides, it was that Gong Ning who harbored ill intentions towards me first. As the Ancestor's personal successor, am I supposed to just surrender and suffer his humiliation? Now that I have killed him and escaped, what is there to say about apologizing?" Zhu Qiluo said coldly.

"Don't you know that Blood Lake Ridge is stronger than my Danxia Mountain? If you don't go to Blood Lake Ridge to apologize, you're putting my Danxia Mountain in danger!" Zhu Liao said coldly.

"The path of cultivation is inherently fraught with tribulations and dangers. My Danxia Mountain also endured many tribulations and dangers before it became a powerful Golden Immortal force, renowned throughout Qionghua Shangjun. If everyone had the same mentality as you, shrinking back and retreating at the slightest sign of danger or pressure from a strong person, even at the cost of sending your own people to their deaths, how could my Danxia Mountain continue to stand tall in Qionghua Shangjun?" Zhu Qiluo said in a deep voice.

"In the end, it's all because you value your own life, so why bother with such grand principles!" Zhu Liao mocked.

"Whether you value your life or don't want my Danxia Mountain to be humiliated, it's none of your business. I only obey the Ancestor's orders. Now you can leave, don't interfere with my cultivation!" Zhu Qiluo said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Liao gave a cold laugh, looking down at Zhu Qiluo with an arrogant gaze.

"Your foundation has been polluted and eroded by the Blood River True Water to the point that even the Ancestor is helpless. What are you still cultivating for? Let me tell you the truth, the Ancestor has already removed you from the position of direct successor. We are here on the orders of the Elder to move you away from Tianluo Peak."

"No, it should be called Tianliao Peak from now on!"

Zhu Qiluo's expression changed several times upon hearing this, but she quickly regained her composure and slowly stood up, saying, "Since it is the Ancestor's order, I will obey."

After saying that, Zhu Qiluo strode out of the Fire Luo Cave.

Just as Zhu Qiluo stepped outside the cave, she heard Zhu Liao's slow and deliberate voice behind her.

"You cannot take anything from Tianliao Peak, and all the attendants the family provided for you must also be left behind, pending the elders' reassignment. You are no longer the direct successor of the patriarch, nor are you a prodigy, so you are no longer qualified to have these attendants."

"Is this the Ancestor's will?" Zhu Qiluo suddenly stopped, the blood-red lines on her face twisting and writhing, making her look somewhat ferocious and terrifying.

“Since you are no longer the direct successor of the ancestor, nor a prodigy, all arrangements will be handled by the elders according to the rules, and there is no need to report to the ancestor!” Zhu Liao said coldly.

“Alright, I understand. However, there are many immortal herbs in the Immortal Herb Garden of Tianluo Peak that I found and carefully cultivated from outside. They are my personal belongings. Even if I can’t take them with me, I think I can at least bestow them upon those who once followed me!” Zhu Qiluo said after a long silence.

"No, don't forget, all your achievements were due to the support and cultivation of the family. You have betrayed the family's cultivation and even brought disaster upon the family. What face do you have to talk about personal property now? What right do you have to allocate these resources?" Zhu Liao refused resolutely. "I don't like to hear that. The family and its members are actually working together. The family cultivates its members, and the members contribute to the family's prosperity. When the family is in trouble, its members should protect it without hesitation; conversely, when its members are in trouble, shouldn't the family do its best to protect them?" Just then, a voice rang out from outside.

"Who are you to dare spout such nonsense in my Danxia Mountain!" Zhu Liao was furious upon hearing this. He suddenly looked up at the entrance of the cave and his gaze fell like a sharp knife on a man who was walking leisurely toward Zhu Qiluo.

“Reporting to the clansman, this man claims to be a friend of Miss Zhu. I originally asked him to wait at the entrance of the mountain, but I didn’t expect that he would follow us here.” A woman hurriedly knelt down, her face pale.

"Zuzi" is an honorific title for the most outstanding sons of the Zhu family.

"How dare you! This is the sacred ground of my Zhu family's Tianfeng. How can you, an outsider, trespass here? Surrender now and come with me to see the elders and await your judgment!" Zhu Liao said sternly.

However, wary of the opponent's Twelfth-Level True Immortal realm, he did not act rashly.

"Zhu Liao, how dare you be so rude! Senior Xia... is my honored guest!" Zhu Qiluo had already come to her senses and hurriedly scolded Zhu Liao.

"How dare you, Zhu Qiluo! Have you forgotten that you are no longer the direct successor of the patriarch, nor a prodigy? Your guest has no right to trespass on Tianfeng Peak. Trespassers should be killed without exception. However, today, for your sake, if he surrenders and comes with me to see the elders to await his judgment, perhaps I may show him some leniency!" Zhu Liao said coldly, his face dark and ruthless.

"Qiluo, do you have a grudge against this guy? He's a member of the clan, and one of the best among them. You were injured, and instead of showing you any sympathy, he humiliated you at every turn, as if he wanted to kick you a few times." Xia Daoming ignored Zhu Liao and turned to Zhu Qiluo to ask.

"Be bold!"

Upon hearing Xia Daoming's words, Zhu Liao and the others all showed anger on their faces, and one after another, magical treasures flew out, surrounding him and Zhu Qiluo.

"Very well, Zhu Qiluo has listened to my teachings and can be considered half of my disciple. How dare you treat her like this! It seems that if I don't use some tricks, you'll really think my people are easy to bully!" Xia Daoming smiled coldly upon seeing this, and as he spoke, two sword lights, one black and one white, shot out.

The two sword lights transformed into a Yin-Yang Tai Chi sword diagram.

As the Tai Chi Sword Diagram slowly turned in the air, the seven immortal treasures surrounding him and Zhu Qiluo were instantly drawn in by a tremendous force, shooting towards the Tai Chi Sword Diagram like arrows released from a bow.

The immortals' expressions changed drastically. They hurriedly circulated their immortal power and formed hand seals, attempting to control their respective immortal treasures.

However, apart from Zhu Liao's immortal treasure, which struggled a bit and wobbled in the air as it was projected towards the Taiji Sword Diagram, the other six immortal treasures, no matter how their owners controlled them, were all thrown into the Taiji Sword Diagram like moths to a flame.

　That concludes today's update.
