The crowd held their breath upon recognizing the golden tablet. It wasn’t an ordinary relic; it was a high-grade ancestral artifact, a power typically found only in the Martial Eternal Realm. Yet Zhao Wei, still in the Martial Ancestral Realm, possessed such a formidable artifact, showcasing just how terrifying the Zhao Clan was—even if it was merely a branch family. The elders of the Xiang Clan grasped the gravity of the situation. They turned to Zhao Wei, their faces still etched with pain from the oppressive force of the golden tablet. “Zhao Wei, what do you want?” “I command you to leave this place and stop causing trouble!” Zhao Wei declared firmly, his eyes flashing with an undeniable authority. “Of course, the final decision lies with Young Master Tian, as it’s evident your side is at fault here.” Zhao Wei cast a fleeting glance at Xiao Tian, signaling subtly that he would respect the young man’s decision while making it clear he would not hesitate to act if the Xiang Clan c

Six days after Zhao Wei's departure, Xiao Tian ordered Lao Xun to go to the Zu Pavilion and invite Zhao Jinhai. If Zhao Wei was also there, he was to come as well. Without delay, Lao Xun immediately set off to carry out Xiao Tian’s instructions.After Lao Xun left, Xiao Tian gazed at all the items ready for sale. “Now, I’ve completed refining pills, forging weapons, and crafting various array flags. In the next two days, I need to prepare the nameplate for this shop and also create the necessary runes,” he said with relief.Not long after, Zhao Jinhai and Zhao Wei arrived at Xiao Tian's shop. Zhao Wei immediately greeted him with a respectful smile. “Young Master Tian, it’s only been a few days since we last met, but your aura already feels different. It seems your strength has increased again.”Xiao Tian smiled in response to the compliment. In truth, he had not reached a new breakthrough. The change in his aura was due to his relentless training and sharpening of his spiritual power

The people around Lantian Store were astonished by the incredible transformation of the place. Even Zhao Jinhai, who had rented the store to Xiao Tian, couldn’t help but marvel. The store, which had once been simple, had now turned into a magnificent building with stunning decorations, drawing admiration from every passerby.Everyone who saw it was amazed and mesmerized, unaware that this transformation was the result of an intricate formation set up by Xiao Tian.In front of Lantian Store, a crowd as vast as a sea had gathered. Not only unaffiliated cultivators, but also members of noble clans came to witness the store’s opening firsthand. They flocked to confirm whether it was true that Lantian Store offered various necessities for cultivators, including mid-tier ancestral-grade treasures.When Xiao Tian stepped out of the store, all eyes immediately focused on the handsome young man. Rumors had spread that this young man was the owner of Lantian Store. Despite becoming the center o

The Fourth Elder took out a small hand-sized mirror. Activating it, he focused the mirror on Lantian Store. Once it was locked in, he could see everyone inside the store. However, he didn’t find Xiao Tian. “Damn it, is that boy not in his store?”“Deputy Patriarch, what’s wrong?”“The boy isn’t in the store; maybe he left with Zhao Guang earlier without us noticing.”“Who are you looking for?”Before they could react, a sword appeared in the midst of them. The sword moved with extraordinary speed.Slash—Slash—The sword’s movement was so swift that even the peak-tier Martial Ancestor and the first and second-tier Martial Immortals couldn’t evade it.Flop—Flop—The Third and Fourth Elders had sensitive reflexes. Sensing danger, they quickly retreated to a safe distance. However, their companions weren’t so fortunate. The three of them could only watch as the heads and bodies of their comrades fell lifelessly to the ground.After swiftly killing 17 people, Xiao Tian deactivated his co

Knock… Knock… Knock…Suddenly, loud knocks echoed at the palace doors, breaking the tense atmosphere. Xiang Bao turned sharply toward the door, his face filled with suspicion. "Who dares knock on my door at this hour of the night?""Patriarch, it's urgent! Someone is attacking our clan. All the guards at the entrance have been killed."Shoo—"Aagh!" Just as the messenger finished speaking, a sword flew and pierced through his back. The messenger collapsed, lifeless.Xiang Bao stood up, his aura bursting forth. "Who dares to lay a hand on my men? If you're not a coward, show yourself!"Buzz—Xiang Bao froze as a man in a black robe appeared before him. When the man pulled back his hood, Xiang Bao was momentarily stunned, unable to believe what he was seeing."You… You dare come here and kill my men?" Xiang Bao's voice was a mix of anger and disbelief.The person standing before him was none other than Xiao Tian. Yet, this only deepened Xiang Bao’s confusion. Xiao Tian was merely a se
