The First Venerable of All Paths

Soul power is like spring rain.

Moisturizing is silent.

The girl wore a long green dress, the hem of which fluttered lightly, and her dark hair swayed in the breeze.

An invisible and gentle soul force slowly emanated from her body, flowing between heaven and earth.

The crimson in the eyes of the soul beast Blood Mosquito faded, and it regained its clarity for a moment.

"come over."

Li Xintong spoke softly, her voice gentle.

The Blood Mosquito, a soul beast, paused for only a moment before flying straight towards Li Xintong.

"You beast, what are you doing?"

Upon seeing this, Gu Can's expression changed drastically.

This spirit beast was something his master had gone through great lengths to find and give to him to protect his life.

And they even signed a contract with him.

However, with just one sentence from Li Xintong, the beast flew towards her without even glancing at its master.

The blood mosquito did not hesitate at all; although it was not fast, it was indeed approaching Li Xintong.

"You filthy beast, stop right there!"

Gu Can's eyes turned red with anger, and he quickly formed hand seals.

"Get back here!"

A faint soul power emanated from Gu Can's body, and a soul imprint flickered on his fingertip.

At the same time, a soul imprint appeared in the eyes of the Blood Mosquito. It paused, slowly turned around, and looked at Gu Can.

obviously.

Under the control of the Soul Imprint, the blood mosquito had no choice but to compromise with Gu Can.

"The soul is at peace, the seal is extinguished."

Just then, Li Xintong's gentle voice rang out again.

The dense soul power enveloped the blood mosquitoes.

"break!"

With a slight rise in tone, the soul imprint in the blood mosquito's eyes collapsed on the spot, vanishing into nothingness.

"Buzz~"

A soft buzzing sound rang in everyone's ears, stirring their very souls.

The blood mosquito flew towards Li Xintong without the slightest hesitation.

When it stopped next to Li Xintong, the blood mosquito even nuzzled her sleeve in a fawning manner, not daring to overstep its bounds.

They seemed quite cautious.

Seeing that Li Xintong ignored it, it took the initiative to land at Li Xintong's feet and gently lift her up.

"puff!"

Gu Can was completely stunned, and then spat out a mouthful of blood.

Half of it was anger, and the other half was the backlash caused by the release of the soul beast.

"Xintong, why...why?"

Gu Can stared at Li Xintong in disbelief, his face filled with disbelief.

He and Xintong were childhood sweethearts and had been engaged long ago.

If it weren't for Li Xintong's master insisting that the two of them reach the same Divine Realm before holding their wedding ceremony, Li Xintong would have already been Gu Can's woman.

Even so, Gu Can still regarded Li Xintong as his own.

Therefore, deep down, Gu Can believed that Li Xintong should always follow his lead and would not oppose him.

But unfortunately...

"No reason."

Li Xintong's red lips parted slightly, but her voice was three degrees colder than before.

This statement, though a reply, is not an explanation.

"Xintong, if you want this beast, just tell me."

Gu Can forced a smile and said, "Let alone a mere soul beast, even if I didn't have one, I would do everything in my power to find it for you."

However, Li Xintong didn't even glance at him. Instead, she turned her head to look at Fang Xuan, revealing a gentle and kind smile.

"Fang Xuan, are you alright?"

The deep concern in her words contrasted sharply with her coldness towards Gu Can just now.

"Thanks to your timely intervention."

Fang Xuan said, "It seems you've recovered quite well."

"Uh-huh."

Li Xintong nodded repeatedly and said happily, "Thank you so much, it's all thanks to you."

There's no need for thanks between friends.

Fang Xuan smiled calmly.

"Yes, there's no need for thanks between friends."

Seeing the two chatting and laughing, Gu Can could no longer bear it.

"Li Xintong, did you even hear what I said?"

At this moment, Gu Can's face was contorted with rage, his expression twisted, and his eyes were filled with resentment.

"Shut up!"

Unexpectedly, Li Xintong, who had been all smiles, suddenly turned cold and her pretty face darkened upon hearing this.

"Either get out, or die!"

A rare hint of murderous intent crept into Li Xintong's tone.

"What...what did you say?"

Gu Can could hardly believe his ears and looked at Li Xintong in disbelief.

Even Fang Xuan was somewhat surprised.

It seems that Li Xintong knows something.

"Do you want me to repeat it again?"

Li Xintong said, word by word, "Either get out, or... die!"

"You, you..."

Gu Can took a deep breath and said sternly, "How dare you speak to me like that? Have you forgotten that there's a... between us?"

"A marriage agreement?"

Li Xintong replied, "Then I can tell you that our engagement is null and void."

Before Gu Can could speak, Li Xintong continued, "I'm not asking for your opinion, I'm informing you."

"You dare!"

Gu Can flew into a rage, roaring, "This was agreed upon by the elders of both families years ago! How dare you break the agreement?"

"Shut up!"

Li Xintong gave a light rebuke and said, "Don't you know what you've done?"

"I...I don't understand what you're saying."

Gu Can's eyes darted around, and his voice sounded flustered.

"It's okay if you don't admit it."

Li Xintong grabbed a hairpin with her jade-like hand, and it floated over, spinning around in her palm.

"But I will not forget what you did for me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Xintong flicked her wrist, and the hairpin shot out with lightning speed, piercing through Gu Can's shoulder.

"Pfft!"

This attack not only severely damaged Gu Can's physical body, but also harmed his mind.

"Considering the feelings of both families, this will serve as a small punishment to deter others from committing a serious offense."

Li Xintong's tone was indifferent, devoid of any emotion: "If there's a next time, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"You... fine, fine, fine!"

Gu Can said "good" three times in a row, his face extremely gloomy.

"I will remember what happened today!"

He looked at Fang Xuan beside him, his tone chilling and full of killing intent.

"Fang Xuan, you just wait, this isn't over between us!"

After saying that, Gu Can took another deep look at Li Xintong before flapping his wings and flying into the night sky.

A cold glint flashed in Fang Xuan's eyes, and he was about to make a move to capture the other party.

"Fang Xuan, forget it."

Li Xintong spoke up at the right moment, saying, "Gu Can is his master's most valued disciple. He has many trump cards to protect himself. You can't keep him here."

Fang Xuan raised an eyebrow, then smiled and said, "Thanks for the reminder."

He understood perfectly what Li Xintong meant.

Li Xintong was telling him that Gu Can's identity was not simple.

Killing Gu Can will only bring endless trouble.

Of course, Fang Xuan wasn't afraid of trouble.

But Gu Can does indeed have quite a few trump cards up his sleeve.

"Boom!"

At that moment, a booming sound came from below.

But a figure plummeted from the rooftop, crashing into the sea of ​​fire and sending flames soaring into the sky.

"Elder Wenqing!"

"The elder has been defeated!"

The Wen family members were all stunned.

This is because the defeated figure was Wen Qing.

In his battle with Yuan Yan, he was at a disadvantage throughout.

Finally, Yuan Yan seized the opportunity and smashed him into the sea of ​​fire.

"Snap!"

The next moment, Wen Qing rushed out of the ruins, extinguished the flames on his body, and revealed a ferocious and terrifying face.

His body was covered in wounds and scars, and he looked like a demon.

"Yuan Yan!"

Wen Qing's voice was hoarse as he roared angrily, "Today, it's either you or me who dies!"

He raised his long, nicked sword high and spat out a mouthful of blood.

All the essence and blood were drawn into the blade.

In addition to his blood essence, Wen Qing's divine soul power also surged into the longsword.

"Buzzing!"

The blade trembled violently, and a sinister and dangerous aura swept out from it.

"Offer the soul to the blade, slay!"

Wen Qing roared angrily, pouring all his energy and spirit into this single strike.

"laugh!"

A long sword, several meters long, emerged from its blade and slashed fiercely towards Yuan Yan, who was standing on a stone pillar.

The blade's energy, like a rainbow, pierced the night sky with lightning speed.

"Hmph, a death throes!"

Yuan Yan was filled with fighting spirit, as majestic as a mountain.

The Ten Thousand Ferocious Battle Axe in his hand was like an ancient ferocious beast awakened, slashing at the incoming blade light like an evil dragon.

"Snap!"

The axe and blade clashed, locked in a fierce confrontation, yet the outcome was quickly decided.

The blade's edge quickly dissipated, but a wisp of axe light pierced the night sky, slashing towards Wen Qing.

A long trench remains on the ground between the two.

"Pfft!"

As the axe blade fell, Wen Qing, who was at one end of the ravine, was instantly cleaved in two and died on the spot.

"Elder!"

"We're doomed, run!"

"Don't kill me! I don't want to die!"

Upon seeing this, the remaining members of the Wen family quickly came to their senses and fled for their lives in the distance.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

However, at that moment, sword energy roared.

Golden and red light flashed and moved swiftly through the Wen family mansion.

It's the Phoenix Cry Sword!

Fang Xuan stood on the rooftop, wielding his sword with divine power, like a sword immortal.

But his cold expression made him seem like a god of death incarnate.

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

The sword energy swept across the land, slaughtering every member of the Wen family without leaving a single survivor.

In less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, all the Wen family martial artists within sight whose cultivation was above the Qi Gathering Realm were completely slaughtered.

Fang Xuan did not kill the other members of the Wen family.

For him, the feud between him and the Wen family was over.

As for whether the He family will cause them trouble again, that's none of his business.

"Clang!"

After killing the last Qi Gathering Realm martial artist, the Phoenix Cry Sword returned to its sheath, and Fang Xuan's killing intent gradually subsided.

Fang Xuan originally did not want to go this far with the Wen family.

However, Wen Donglin, despite being the head of the family, repeatedly attacked and suppressed him.

Finally, they even joined forces with Zhou Yan to forcibly enhance their strength using formations in order to kill him.

Fang Xuan couldn't let this go unpunished.

Immediately, Fang Xuan noticed that He Yaoyao and Li Xintong were both pale-faced and looked at him with fear in their eyes.

"Young Master Fang, you have quite the skills."

At this moment, Yuan Yan spoke up: "This sword control technique is truly enviable."

"You flatter me, senior."

Fang Xuan said modestly.

Yuan Yan shook his head and said, "The Wen family has been wiped out today. I must return immediately to report to the family head and cannot stay here any longer."

"Please do as you please, senior."

Fang Xuan glanced at Li Xintong and said, "I have some personal matters to attend to."

"Alright then."

Yuan Yan said, "Miss, this old servant will escort you home first."

He Yaoyao hurriedly walked towards Yuan Yan, not daring to say a single word to Fang Xuan.

What she just witnessed clearly terrified her.

"Young Master Fang, I shall take my leave now."

Yuan Yan cupped his hands and said, "The entire He family will forever remember your kindness in rescuing us today."

After saying that, he took the medicine and left.

Fang Xuan and Li Xintong exchanged a glance, then both flew out of the city.
