The rising sun that shone over Linyi City was just as impartial, bathing Ji City of Daze County in its light.
But some felt its warmth and glory, while others endured its scorching heat and torment.
Liu Xiao was not of the direct lineage.
Even his real surname was not Liu, and what it should be was unknown.
He was an abandoned infant found by the elderly Master Liu at the roadside years ago, an act of momentary kindness, raised casually among the clansmen as just another child born into the family.
But at a very young age, he displayed an extraordinary talent for martial arts.
The precious Channel-opening Pill was of course not to be wasted on a clan-born child.
Yet, it was Master Liu who, against all objections, gave him one.
And he did not disappoint, far surpassing others in mastering various Secret Techniques and Dao Techniques, as well as advancing in his cultivation.
Master Liu thus valued him more and more, providing resources along the way, and Liu Xiao lived up to his expectations.
Each resource invested in him saw adequate returns, allowing him to grow and eventually achieve the status of a Godly Cultivator.
During Master Liu’s life, he was utterly loyal to the Liu Family, accruing tremendous merit.
After Master Liu’s death, his support for the new generation, Marquis Xuanhuai Liu Yingqi, was equally unwavering.
The time when Liu Shentong died, he was the first to rush to Chang Ming County, swearing to intercept and kill Tian Anping on his way back.
Sadly, he failed to accomplish the task.
After that battle, the Liu Family fell from grace.
Never again was there another Liu Shentong.
Liu Xuanhu, entirely different from his dazzling brother, was dull and slow, limited in talent, truly incapable of enlightenment.
Struggling at the doorway of Heaven and Earth Gate, no one could help him.
Liu Xiuzhang was indeed a hardworking child, but sadly, compared to Liu Shentong, he was still far behind and simply insufficient to support the family.
Only a marriage contract set in his youth with the Yan Clan could be considered a safeguard.
As for Liu Yingqi…
The ambition of this Marquis Xuanhuai seemed to have completely dissipated with the death of Liu Shentong.
Struggling as a mediocre amidst the stage of top-tier families, he appeared versatile, but it seemed like everything he did was wrong.
Since Liu Shentong’s death, every action he took failed to achieve the desired effect.
The Liu Family’s power waned day by day.
The outcome of that battle in Chang Ming County was a punishment for Tian Anping, a painful amputation of assets by the Tian family, and a sizable resource compensation for the Liu Family.
However, the Liu Family from Fufeng did not lack resources; what they lacked were formidable talents!
Liu Xiao watched powerlessly as the Liu Family irrevocably plummeted, step by step into the abyss.
His expertise lay only in cultivation, only in battle.
After all, Master Liu had never taught him how to revitalize a family.
In an empire as great as Daqi, even with his Godly Cultivation, he was walking on thin ice.
There were many matters he dared not touch, many he did not know if he could touch.
The manipulations and intrigue within top families exhausted him.
All he could do was watch.
“As If A God Descends”, even a deity is powerless!
Now, Liu Xiuzhang’s engagement has been broken, and the lineage of Liu Yingqi is to be shifted.
The Liu Family from Fufeng has nearly become a laughingstock under heaven.
And Tian Anping, the cause of all this, has nearly completed a decade-long term!
That battle in Chang Ming County years ago deeply ingrained one thing in Liu Xiao’s memory—
Once Tian Anping breaks free, the Liu Family from Fufeng will never see the light of day again.
And he had long made up his mind.
Sworn to kill Tian Anping!
This timing could not be too early.
In the initial years when Tian Anping was trapped, the Tian family would surely be on guard against desperate moves by the Liu Family.
Any action taken then was doomed to fail.
Thus, the Liu Family from Fufeng had been lying low, seemingly trying to dilute this humiliation.
Nor could the timing be too late.
By the end of the year or next year’s beginning, the Tian family would grow vigilant again.
The fourth day of the third lunar month next year was both Liu Shentong’s death anniversary and the day Tian Anping would be freed.
With his Golden Frame and Jade Marrow shattered, four Saint Towers demolished, and pushed back to the Inner Mansion Realm, suppressed for ten long years, any other person would see no hope for resurgence.
But this man is Tian Anping.
A person who instills fear in everyone, whose very name has become a taboo.
Whether it is hatred or fear that people hold towards him, they only speculate how long it will take for him to return as a God Arrives, once he is free.
Liu Xiao, who struggled against Tian Anping, who witnessed his rise to Godly Cultivation, and who watched him being cast down to the Inner Mansion Realm, would never doubt Tian Anping’s terror.
All these years, he’s been doing just one thing – watching the Tian family.
Claiming seclusion as a pretext, he observed covertly, without any intermediaries.
The twenty-first day of the seventh lunar month of the fifty-fifth year of Yuan Feng was an excellent day.
Perhaps it was the best day.
A celebration ceremony was taking place in Linyi City, where after Qi Country’s triumphant unification, the leader of Yellow River’s achievements had returned before The Imperial Ancestral Temple.
Liu Yingqi had gone to Linyi for the ceremony, and so had Tian Xili, the Marquis of Gaochang.
And Tian Huanwen is still overseas…
Ji City was left without a Godly Cultivator to preside!
He wanted to kill Tian Anping, even if the Qi Court would pursue the matter afterward, an eye for an eye!
He wanted the world to know that the grudge of the Liu Family can be avenged after ten years, and will never be forgotten even after a hundred years!
If Tian Anping did not break through to the next realm, facing God Descending Realm with only Inner Mansion Realm, death was certain.
If Tian Anping did break through, violating the imprisonment agreement, he deserved to die all the same!
When Liu Xiao slapped a city guard to death and the remaining guards rang the alarm drums.
All over Ji City, one could see cultivators leaping up everywhere, even Tian Huanwen’s cousin, that old man Tian Huanzhang, had already flown towards the end of the long street.
But as soon as Liu Xiao announced his name and leaped into the air on the long street, a large number of figures ceased to move.
Tian Huanzhang even quickly retreated.
What is there to fear from a mighty God Descending Realm cultivator?
Back in Chang Ming County, he had met Tian Huanzhang.
At that time, the old scoundrel was haughty and arrogant, calling him “Weak Liu.” Today, his retreat was swift indeed.
Soaring under the high-hanging sun, Liu Xiao caught sight of a peculiar two-story building in the very center of Ji City.
This damned, squarely structured city, with that building at the very center.
Like a vertical well rising from the ground, the “well wall” covered with unsightly and bizarre burls.
Having only a solitary skylight that was open.
Three out of the four doors were wrapped with black chains, only the north side door was bare.
Tian Anping…
He whispered this name silently in his heart.
Suddenly, more than a dozen figures leapt up, a mix with Teng Long, Inner Mansion, and from the Outer Building, with varying levels of cultivation, forming a large formation.
The one in the lead holding the array map, bellowed loudly: “Liu Xiao!
The matter of the past was settled back then, do you know the crime you commit by doing this today?”
Liu Xiao grinned mockingly.
This was more like it.
After all, they were the opponents he had been facing alone for so long.
Today, he was indeed set on a killing spree; if the path ahead was unimpeded, and the Tian family was all like Tian Huanzhang, it would be far too disappointing!
Where would he find the resolve to make such a decision?
His spiritual sense swept through, and Liu Xiao didn’t say another word, a palm strike hammered down!
One palm was meant for six palms.
Up, down, left, right, front, back, enormous palms materialized from thin air, like six high walls firmly encircling the dozen or so cultivators, pushing simultaneously!
It was the Six Harmonies Obliteration!
Boom!
The figures of the dozen cultivators were swept away in an instant, leaving only a torn array map fluttering down in the blood mist that filled the sky.
This was Liu Xiao giving his all!
From Inner Mansion and Outer Building to God Descending, how could they surpass just with an array map?
Liu Xiao’s form surged through the blood mist in the sky, and in an instant, he was above Fubi Tower, leaping into that “wellhead”.
Then he saw, on the ground inside the tower, a man sitting cross-legged barefoot, wearing only a single-layer garment, looking up at him.
Sitting in the “well” watching him.
In his eyes, there was a hint of confusion!
At that moment, Liu Xiao was upside down, falling headfirst, a palm pressed forward, the power of a God Descending Realm cultivator instantly enveloping the two-story building.
“Tian Anping, you are indeed doomed!”
He barely felt any resistance; Inner Mansion level powers should not be an obstacle for a mighty God Descending Realm cultivator.
All the tactics within Fubi Tower were shattered as easily as decayed wood.
His palm, as expected, pressed against Tian Anping’s face.
The roaring Path Origin surged crazily into the man’s body.
He intended to destroy Tian Anping’s Five Mansions Sea, demolish Tian Anping’s five Inner Mansions, and even destroy Tian Anping’s Tongtian Palace!
To sever Tian Anping’s life’s path and make sure Tian Anping could never be resurrected!
But!
Where the Path Origin roared, there was emptiness!
With his powerful spiritual sense, he actually couldn’t find Tian Anping’s Inner Mansion!
What was going on?
Liu Xiao exclaimed in shock and confusion: “Where is your Inner Mansion?”
At this very moment, his palm was still pressing down on Tian Anping’s face.
And Tian Anping’s voice seeped leisurely through the gaps between his fingers—
“You are within my mansion, yet you ask where my Inner Mansion is?”
