"Elder Huai, are you threatening Xu Mou?"

Upon hearing Xu Guang's words, a mocking smile appeared on Elder Huai's lips.

"Not at all, just giving Dharma Protector Xu a chance to live."

"Besides, even if I were threatening you, what of it? Within three steps, I could kill you with just a flip of my hand."

Before the words were fully spoken.

Bam!

A huge trunk suddenly swung down from the sky!

Amidst screams of "Ah," the sound of bones breaking resonated.

Elder Huai felt the intense pain spreading through her body, her face changed dramatically. Ignoring her almost shattered half-body, she rushed towards Xu Guang.

"Make this beast stop!"

What intrigued her was.

Facing her charge, Xu Guang stood calmly without dodging, as if he was watching a dead person.

She didn't understand what Xu Guang meant, but her heart was filled with excitement. If she could capture Xu Guang, the situation on her body caused by the Feng Shui Master...

As she approached, Xu Guang's facial details became clearer, and she could even see the light fuzz at the corner of his mouth.

Just a step away...

A hand suddenly appeared on her neck.

Xu Guang's hand was warm, exuding a blistering heat.

But the smile on Elder Huai's face vanished.

The smile transferred to Xu Guang's face.

With a hint of mockery.

"You..."

"The world is so beautiful, it's a pity... you won't see it."

Elder Huai was dumbfounded.

Xu Guang's right hand exerted a bit of force as if lifting a powerless doll, he lifted and slammed down hard!

Bam!

The surrounding mud and stones exploded, Xu Guang kneeled on one knee, under his fist was a large pit with a diameter of one meter.

"Now, answer me honestly when I ask!"

Elder Huai was thrown with such force that she completely lost her ability to resist, like a mere toy.

Upon hearing Xu Guang's words, she was temporarily unable to respond.

Xu Guang waved his hand.

All Elder Huai saw was a massive shadow looming overhead, and upon realizing what it was, she was instantly terrified!

Something thick like a pillar hovered overhead!

Once stepped on by this, survival is impossible.

"You... please ask."

A fawning expression appeared on Elder Huai's face, speaking weakly.

This was a person even more insidious than her own cunning, with endless methods, and immeasurable strength. After roaming the Jianghu for years, she'd learned that in the hands of such a person, cooperation was the only option.

"How did you know I understood Feng Shui?"

Elder Huai truthfully told Xu Guang everything.

As the questions continued, Xu Guang's expression grew odd.

This Elder Huai wasn't from Qingshuo County but someone from another county in Songjiang Prefecture - Rongchuan County. She was once a noble young lady (an arrogant one), and coincidently, Rongchuan County had a Feng Shui Master. Influenced by her elders, she was quite obsessed with the Feng Shui skill and sought inheritance.

Rejected, she kidnapped the Feng Shui Master's only son as leverage, which unintentionally led to a death.

The Feng Shui Master somehow learned of this and, under the guise of offering inheritance, lured her to his home and forcibly changed her fate with a Feng Shui array.

Three months later, her entire family perished!

She also encountered numerous bizarre events, transforming into a shadow of her former self as neither human nor ghost. She broke through to Eighth Grade at eighteen, but for thirty years, she never reached Seventh Grade.

Recently, passing by Xu Guang's courtyard, she detected changes in Feng Shui.

Coincidentally, Xu Guang had been altering his courtyard for experience, confirming to her that Xu Guang indeed understood the Feng Shui skill.

Xu Guang squinted his eyes, "Where is this Feng Shui Master's inheritance now?"

This should be true, as though Elder Huai was quite dishonest, she seemed to want Xu Guang to help her solve her trouble in breaking through to Seventh Grade, so she wouldn't hide on such matters.

Like a wise patient who wouldn't lie about their symptoms to a doctor, even if the doctor wasn't fond of him.

He took an interest in this inheritance; even with the ordinary strength of that Feng Shui Master, he could deploy a Feng Shui array comparable to a noble family like the Zhu Family. Such a legacy must be extraordinary.

Elder Huai's eyes flickered, "In my home..."

Xu Guang found her demeanor disgusting, instinctively wanting to kill her.

But in the end, he restrained himself.

"You better behave yourself."

Unable to hold back any longer, Xu Guang slapped her hard, directly breaking Elder Huai's intact arm.

"Ah~ You~"

Feeling Xu Guang's cold gaze, she settled down a bit.

"The Feng Shui legacy is with you, and there's not a peep within the Iron Armor Sect? Do you take me for a fool? Speak any more nonsense, and I'll kill you."

Given Elder Huai's condition, if she truly had a Feng Shui legacy, even if she couldn't successfully cultivate it herself, she would definitely find someone to do so. Yet over the years, she's lived reclusively with almost no presence, even more so than him.

She doesn't have any legacy at all.

"I know the secret to breaking through to the Sixth Grade! And I know the movements of the Wei Family!"

Elder Huai screamed out loud.

...

A few hundred meters away from the Iron Workshop, a mound appeared on the ground.

Huff~

The mound was propped up, and an exceptionally ugly exotic beast drilled out from the soil, unable to resist surveying the surroundings.

Ren Ziji led Wei Ping'an out from a tunnel, with a cold arrogance on his face.

"Uncle Ren, just ahead is the Iron Armor Sect's base."

Upon hearing this, Ren Ziji looked towards the direction of the Iron Workshop, a murderous glint appearing in his eyes.

Today, everyone here must die!

"According to the information from our insider, Tie Kuang and Yu Shaohua have not been around lately. They should be hunting Zhou Qian and the others. There are only a few Eighth-Grade Elders here. Uncle Ren, let's make it quick, and when Tie Kuang and the others return, we'll catch them off guard!"

Wei Ping'an's face was cold, and his eyes were full of killing intent.

Ren Ziji nodded, whipping the alien species beside him, "Go, eat whoever you like in there."

Wei Ping'an seemed to recall something, "By the way, Uncle Ren, someone in the Iron Armor Sect has been taming a Kunlun Beast. Although it's not fully grown, it's very ferocious. My second brother once fought it and was defeated."

Ren Ziji originally paused when he heard the name Kunlun Beast, but upon learning it was not fully grown, his seriousness disappeared.

"I admit the Kunlun Beast is strong, even an ordinary Sixth Grade expert may not be a match. But since it's not fully grown… the Earth Rhinoceros should suffice."

He was full of confidence, looking towards the Iron Workshop as if it were already in his grasp.

Wei Ping'an contemplated, glanced at the Earth Rhinoceros alien species, and nodded.

This Earth Rhinoceros was tamed by Ren Ziji through violent means, spending a lot of effort. It's long since matured, and is a species with a Seventh Grade strength upon reaching adulthood.

Although it's not as large as Xu Guang's Great Beast, its small size means agility, coupled with its unique drilling skills, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with that beast.

"Follow me… kill!"

Ren Ziji led the charge, his weapon a spear over two meters long. This was related to his background, being poor as a child, often using wooden sticks as weapons. The spear is similar to a stick, so naturally, he practiced spear techniques.

It was currently 1:00 AM, the time when people are most drowsy.

Fine rain continued to fall over the Iron Workshop, making everything seem shrouded in fairy mist, as if something terrible was brewing.

A few disciples guarding the gate of the Iron Armor Sect were sitting around a table, some dozing off.

Suddenly, they heard footsteps.

"Who's there!?"

Before the words were finished, a glint of cold light flashed, rapidly closing in, appearing in the blink of an eye.

The long spear, with a rotating force, pierced three people, stringing them together like candied hawthorn, blood and rainwater instantly merging.

"Enemy attack!"

The last guard, with a hysterical shout before dying, echoed throughout the Iron Workshop.

Wei Ping'an's expression changed slightly. Why were there still guards? Wasn't that person supposed to eliminate them all?

Ren Ziji asked, "What happened?"

"No idea why, the insider didn't take action."

Ren Ziji smirked disdainfully, shaking his spear, causing blood droplets to roll off and hit the ground.

"Cowards, what difference does it make if they are there or not? Mere clay chickens and pottery dogs! Earth Rhinoceros, charge!"

"Follow me… kill!"

The remaining Wei Family retainers drew their swords!

"Kill!"

...

In the distance, under the night sky, a figure stood atop a towering giant, staring intently this way.

Rain mixed with blood covered the Iron Workshop, nearly turning it into a sea of blood.

Xu Guang quietly watched the distant battlefield, an unprecedented calm in his eyes. Only when his gaze swept over Ren Ziji and the Earth Rhinoceros did a slight ripple appear.

General Wei had long noticed the disturbance on the ground. When Elder Huai came over, he realized that the disturbance underground was heading this way.

Xu Guang didn't know the strength of those underground, so he withdrew from the Iron Workshop first.

As he always said, doing work is fine, but risking life is not.

The foundation of these noble families is indeed terrifying. Even though Tie Kuang had already destroyed most of the Wei Family forces, such masters were still hidden.

Xu Guang's gaze fell on the strange Earth Rhinoceros, and he naturally heard Ren Ziji and Wei Ping'an's conversation.

This Earth Rhinoceros was meant to deal with General Wei.

From its size, the Earth Rhinoceros was far inferior to General Wei, but its heavy armor and elusive burrowing methods were indeed a headache.

"General Wei, can you handle that big guy?"

General Wei's golden, bright eyes glanced upwards, carrying a hint of disdain.

It has no idea what real strength is.
