Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

”Trash will always be trash. So what if your daughter is Huang Tianling? I, Lin Ziyan, can beat you, curse you, even capture your family of three for Soul Refining to cultivate my Purple Flame Godslaying Technique! What can you do about it? Did you really expect that little bitch to come and save you? How laughable.”

At the gates of the Purple Flame Sect, a young woman in purple robes was commanding several gate-keeping disciples to trample Huang Chengde and his family.

The frail Huang Chengde wanted to protect his wife and child as he had before, but as a mere mortal, how could he possibly stand against disciples of the Immortal Dao?

He was completely unable to resist.

Each of the three family members was pinned under the foot of a different person.

Fortunately, these people knew they were Huang Tianling’s family, and Lin Ziyan, who had ordered the attack, was mostly aiming for humiliation. That was the only reason the three of them were still alive.

Otherwise, they would have been dead long ago.

But even so, while they weren’t dead, they were in a wretched state. Huang Tianling’s younger brother, a frail boy, had blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. His internal organs were likely injured.

That was why Yang Xiao was so furious when he arrived.

’These bastards, hitting even a child. They’re completely inhuman. They all deserve to die!’

Killing intent flared.

Yang Xiao was about to make his move.

”Father!”

But Huang Tianling was a step ahead of him, lunging toward the group.

”Oh? You actually bothered to come back after your little tryst with your lover? Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Wu, you stand your ground. I want to see if a mere Inner Sect Disciple dares to attack you right in front of a True Inheritor!”

Lin Ziyan’s face was a mask of cold mockery.

”Let go of my family!”

Huang Tianling roared.

But compared to her, the three gate-keeping disciples trampling her family were clearly more afraid of Lin Ziyan.

Besides, to them, this family was related to Huang Tianling, but they were nothing more than mortals from the mundane world.

’Would Huang Tianling really fight us to the death over them?’

’Besides, didn’t she just want that man to kill her own brother with his own hands?’

So, the three of them—Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Wu—refused to move.

”Are you going to move or not?”

Huang Tianling’s eyes turned red.

Yang Xiao had intended to intervene, but then he recalled her previous attitude toward the Chi Dragon Spirit and held himself back.

’I want to see if Huang Tianling is indiscriminately kind to everyone, or if her kindness is selective.’

’In my opinion, if it’s the former, then no matter how talented she is, her future achievements will be limited. She’d probably be manipulated and killed within days.’

’But if it’s the latter... with her talent, she would be well worth cultivating.’

And just as he was thinking this, the answer appeared.

Seeing that the three still refused to move, Huang Tianling acted decisively.

With a wave of her hand, she sent the three gate-keeping disciples flying.

She rushed forward and helped her father, mother, and younger brother to their feet.

At the same time, she glared at Lin Ziyan and the others.

A cold light flashed in her hand.

The Cold Ice Chi Dragon Sword, which she had just subdued, appeared.

Evidently, she knew the consequences of her actions.

Yang Xiao was very pleased with this.

”Well now, you little bitch, I seem to have underestimated you. It’s one thing to not greet your Senior Sister, but to actually attack someone and even draw your sword? You have no respect for your superiors. Have you given any thought to the rules of our Purple Flame Sect?”

Seeing Huang Tianling, Lin Ziyan showed no fear at all. Instead, she looked at her with disdain and spoke arrogantly.

At the same time, her eyes flickered over the Cold Ice Chi Dragon Sword in Huang Tianling’s hand.

She was instantly filled with both envy and jealousy.

With her experience, how could she not see how extraordinary the sword was?

It was probably much better than the Upper-Grade Spirit Weapon she herself possessed.

’I wonder which lecher gave a treasure like this to that little bitch. Hmph, if Father hadn’t kept saying how talented and important she is, I’d kill her right now!’

The thought made Lin Ziyan even more displeased.

She said coldly to Huang Tianling, ”If you want to stay in the Purple Flame Sect and avoid breaking the rules, then you’ll obediently kneel and kill these mortals yourself. Otherwise... you attacked fellow disciples and even drew your sword on me, a True Inheritor, all for a few insignificant mortals. Hmph, you should know what the consequences for that will be!”

As soon as she said this, Huang Tianling’s face flushed red with anger.

Her brother had just passed out, her mother and father were in terrible condition, and now this woman was demanding that she kill them with her own hands.

An intense hatred filled Huang Tianling’s eyes.

”What? You dare to glare at me? You little bitch, do you really think your pathetic True Tier First Layer cultivation makes you a match for me? How ridiculous! With your strength, you should go back and train for a few more years. To think you dare compete with me to be the number one beauty of the Purple Flame Sect... you’re truly courting death!”

Lin Ziyan burst out laughing.

Her eyes were filled with triumph.

The old Huang Tianling would have been angry, but she would have endured it. Back then, she was controlled by the will of the Lord of Immortal Dao, making her ruthless and cold-blooded.

But now that the normal Huang Tianling had returned, how could she swallow her anger and say nothing while her family was being humiliated like this?

Immediately, the aura around her began to fluctuate.

This surprised Lin Ziyan. She looked at Huang Tianling, whose face was a mask of hatred, and asked, ”Are you really going to attack me? For these lowlifes?”

”They are my family! My loved ones! They are the most important people to me, not lowlifes!”

Huang Tianling roared.

Her words stunned everyone.

Even the gate-keeping disciples stared at Huang Tianling in astonishment.

Their faces were filled with utter disbelief.

”Since you’re so willing to debase yourself by acknowledging these lowly mortals as family and even want to attack me? Hmph, then don’t blame me, Lin Ziyan, for being merciless.”

Lin Ziyan quickly came to her senses.

’This is the perfect opportunity to take Huang Tianling down!’

’As long as she attacks me, I can use it as an excuse to severely injure her. Best if I can shatter her Qi Sea and destroy her Origin. Then we’ll see if the Sect’s Elders still value this bitch.’

With this in mind, Lin Ziyan eagerly anticipated Huang Tianling’s attack.

But just as Huang Tianling was about to strike, a figure appeared in front of her.

”Let me handle this. Give these Pills to your father and the others. Any later and it might be too late.”

The newcomer was, of course, Yang Xiao.

After handing three Pills to Huang Tianling and explaining how to use them, he turned his gaze to Lin Ziyan.

”And who are you? That little bitch’s new lover?”

Lin Ziyan was startled at first, but when she sensed that Yang Xiao’s aura was only at the True Tier, she calmed down.

Since childhood, she had been the prodigy of the Lin Family and the Eldest Senior Sister of the Purple Flame Sect. Although her innate talent was far inferior to Huang Tianling’s, she had started cultivating early and, with a mountain of resources, had already stepped into the Magic Tier.

She was a True Disciple of the Purple Flame Sect.

’Why would I be afraid of some nobody of unknown origins at the mere True Tier Fourth Level?’

In fact, if not for wanting to strike a blow at Huang Tianling and being unable to discern Yang Xiao’s background, she wouldn’t have even bothered speaking to him. However, what Lin Ziyan hadn’t expected was that while she was arrogant and rude, Yang Xiao was even more so.

He didn’t even acknowledge her before he acted.

He raised a hand and pointed a finger at her.

”Insolent! Do you have any idea who I am! You...!”

Before she could finish, his Finger Force pierced through her forehead.

”Just a Magic Tier cultivator,” Yang Xiao sneered.

He strode toward the Purple Flame Sect.

He had already scanned the area once.

He had discovered that the Purple Flame Sect was, indeed, full of inhuman monsters.

’In that case, I’ll just destroy it!’
