All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

After digesting all the ruthless man's legacy, Wang Gan looked at Li Xiaoman in front of him.

His divine embryo was forcibly removed. Although he didn't die on the spot, his soul was damaged. Only a minor medicine king specializing in soul repair could fix it.

Wang Gan possesses the Fountain of Life, but it may not be able to heal the wounds to the soul.

"Never mind..."

"Anyway, she's not my woman."

Wang Gan took Li Xiaoman's physical body into the space of the Chaos Chessboard.
"We'll let Ye Fan worry about it then."

"Ye Fan should thank me for giving his ex-girlfriend Li Xiaoman to him!"

Wang Gan's lips curled into a smile.

She completely forgot that she was the one who had stolen Ye Fan's marriage.

Wang Gan glanced at Hua Yunfei beside him, waved his hand, and gestured for him to leave.

He had no grudge against Hua Yunfei, so there was no reason for him to take his life. He also had no interest in this prodigy who was swallowed up halfway through the original story.

"Fellow Daoist Wang!"

Suddenly, Duan De's eyes widened as he looked in one direction.
"There was a fluctuation of magical energy nearby just now!"

"These two guys probably have protectors!"

As soon as Duan De finished speaking, Wang Gan had already disappeared from the spot.

Not far from this large tomb,
An old man appeared before Wang Gan, exuding a decaying aura. His cultivation was unfathomable, and he was clearly a powerful figure at the Saint Lord realm!

His face was full of wrinkles, and his gaze toward Wang Gan carried a hint of caution and apprehension.

“Holy Son of Yaoguang, we will keep to ourselves and not interfere with each other. You have already become a Holy Son.”

“You attacked my ruthless disciple just now, and I stood by and watched.”

"Do you intend to become an enemy of my ruthless lineage?"

Clearly, this old man was the ruthless protector of the ruthless lineage who was secretly monitoring and guarding Hua Yunfei and Li Xiaoman.
Upon seeing Wang Gan arrive, he retreated almost without hesitation or the slightest intention to make a move, but unexpectedly, Wang Gan still managed to catch up with him.

Although Hua Yunfei and Li Xiaoman are both from the Ruthless lineage, second only to the previous generation of Yao Guang Holy Son in terms of Gu worms, and know many secrets, the protector also knows that he alone is far from being a match for Wang Gan, who wields an imperial weapon.

Wang Gan laughed upon hearing this.

"Do you think I've forgotten what your ruthless lineage did to me in the Divine City, or do you think I don't know?"

"Don't forget, the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron is still in my hands!"

The old man's face was grim.
"Wang Gan! Don't think that just because you wield an imperial weapon you can act with impunity!"

"The depth of our ruthless people is beyond your imagination!"

"If you back down now, we can cooperate and jointly take control of the Yao Guang Holy Land, and even make you the Holy Son of our Ruthless lineage!"

Wang Gan remained expressionless, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Your holy son? What nonsense are you spouting?"

"I can't be bothered to listen!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Gan went all out without using his imperial weapon. This was because the ruthless protector was too old and frail, with only 50-60% of his peak strength remaining. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been assigned to be the protector of Hua Yunfei and the other person.

True Dragon Treasure Technique - Dragon-Summoning Hand!
The golden dragon aura seemed to have transformed into a dragon, its form no different from that of a legendary dragon, and it swung its tail as it attacked him.

His aura was enough to overwhelm even the most powerful saints.

The golden-white dragon claws extended, carrying a domineering dragon's might that looked down upon all things, and pierced directly through the chest of the powerful second-level immortal on the other side!

The power of divine prohibition is terrifying!
Damn it!

The old man stared in despair at his chest, pierced completely by the dragon's energy. Although his physical body from the Sendai realm wouldn't kill him immediately, despair still gripped his heart.
Unexpectedly, Wang Gan's combat power was astonishing. He had not only touched the divine forbidden zone, but had already firmly stood in the realm of the divine forbidden zone!
Although the old man's combat power was only half due to his advanced age, he possessed the secret techniques inherited from the ruthless man. Even with only half his combat power, he was still comparable to an ordinary second-level immortal!
But Wang Gan, relying on the power of divine restriction, was no match for even ordinary second-level immortals!

Now that things have come to this, he can only pray that the Ruthless Clan can finally kill this Holy Son of Yao Guang, so that the Ruthless Clan will not have such a great enemy!
"At least we need to get the news out of here."

The old man hardened his heart and stopped using the ruthless secret technique to heal his physical and spiritual injuries. Instead, he sent a wisp of his soul soaring into the sky to spread the news that Wang Gan was permanently stationed in the Divine Forbidden Zone, so as to at least alert the ruthless lineage!
"You old geezer, you're about to die and you still won't settle down!"

Wang Gan's expression turned cold, and he immediately activated the True Dragon Treasure Technique to seal off the surrounding void, freezing the old man's soul in place!
Then, activating his magic power, Wang Gan shattered the old man's broken body and began to search the old man's soul, using the soul-searching method of the Ruthless lineage that Hua Yunfei had told him about.

Wang Gan was not surprised to see the soul that had begun to burn on its own after being searched.

Every major sect has this secret method of self-destruction of the soul to prevent outsiders from obtaining their inheritance and techniques, let alone the ruthless lineage that rose to power by devouring others.

Fortunately, the soul-searching technique of the Ruthless lineage was indeed powerful. Even after the old man's soul was completely burned away, Wang Gan still managed to salvage a lot of useful memories.

"The Devouring Heaven Demon Art: Immortal Platform Chapter!"

"Some of the ruthless individuals possess the identities of Gu worms and the background of a ruthless lineage."

Wang Gan nodded in satisfaction.

"pity."

"There's no news about that Yao Guang Holy Son."

Wang Gan felt a little regretful.

If there's anything about the Ruthless Clan that he'd be wary of, it's only this guy, the Holy Son of Yao Guang.

In the original novel, although Yao Guang Sheng Zi was not a super genius like Wang Teng or Xiang Yufei at the beginning, but just an ordinary genius, he relied on the Devouring Heaven Demon Art and the Undying Heaven Art to catch up and surpass most of the geniuses of the Golden Age.

He walked with Ye Fan to the final Emperor's Road and fought Ye Fan for three days and three nights, which shows his potential. If he were allowed to continue to live a life of hiding, it would definitely be extremely harmful to Wang Gan.

"But the ruthless lineage has another problem: its reputation."

Wang Gan thought to himself that this was troublesome.

"Although I am not afraid of any of the Ruthless Clan's methods now, if I cannot completely eliminate them, and they feel they have no way out, they might resort to desperate measures and self-destruct, dragging the Yao Guang Holy Land down with them to become the remnants of the Ruthless Clan, and be hunted down by the entire Beidou cultivation world!"

At that time, the Yao Guang Holy Land, including him as the Holy Son of Yao Guang, will probably be in great trouble.

This is also why Wang Gan didn't push the ruthless faction too far—to prevent them from resorting to desperate measures.

"Ten years."

Wang Gan's expression hardened. At his cultivation speed, it would only take him about ten years to break through to the Dao-Slaying Realm.

Once he breaks through to the Dao-Slaying King realm, combined with his Emperor Weapon and Divine Forbidden cultivation, there will be few in the entire Beidou cultivation world who can do anything to him!
At that time, we can unleash the ruthless power of the ruthless clan without restraint, eradicating them completely! (End of Chapter)
