Chapter 205 You are too ugly and too weak!

Scene after scene played rapidly in her mind like a fleeting glimpse.

Combining this with some things she already knew, Xu Miaozhen quickly understood the entire sequence of events.

This person's name was Xu Shi, a Prodigy from the Xu Family's main lineage. Although referred to as 'Young Master' by his subordinates, he was actually several hundred years old.

As one of the eight super forces in Sacred City, the internal competition within the Xu Family was extremely fierce. From the moment they were born into this Family, individuals were passively drawn into various competitions for resources, status, and strength.

To receive better cultivation, one had to display sufficient talent to be valued by the Family and have resources allocated to them.

When Xu Shi was young, he possessed extraordinary talent and was a leader among his peers, but he wasn't the only outstanding one.

Other young Prodigies competed with him.

Among them, one person's talent far surpassed his, but he had no background within the Family. Xu Shi used his power to frame him, damaging his Foundation and forcing him out of the Family.

That person, knowing he would eventually be killed if he remained in the Family, concealed his tracks and traveled to a distant land. After many twists and turns, he eventually settled in the Great Yan Dynasty, married, had children, and expanded his lineage.

That person was Xu Miaozhen's Old Ancestor, her grandfather's grandfather. To be precise, she should call him her Great-Great Grandfather.

Her Great-Great Grandfather, due to severe damage to his Foundation, passed away twenty years later. His greatest regret before death was not being able to return to the Xu Family's main lineage.

He left a dying wish: if a person of extraordinary talent appeared among his descendants in the future, he hoped they could return to the Heavenly Spear Domain on his behalf and participate in the clan competition with the Xu Family token.

If they performed exceptionally and were valued by a Senior in the clan, becoming a Prodigy to be重点培養, they could request to return to the main lineage.

This was his only dying wish, passed down as an ancestral instruction.

Originally, during those twenty years, Xu Shi had been sending people to search for his whereabouts, wanting to completely eliminate him.

But Xu Miaozhen's Great-Great Grandfather had anticipated this, so he had made secret arrangements in advance.

Furthermore, the number of subordinates Xu Shi could mobilize at the time was limited, and he himself was busy competing with other Prodigies. Thus, he failed to find him for twenty years.

It wasn't until he learned that Xu Miaozhen's Great-Great Grandfather's soul tablet had shattered, confirming his death, that he completely gave up the idea.

However, with Xu Miaozhen's arrival, when she took out the Xu Family identity token to register for the clan competition, she was coincidentally discovered by one of the people who had previously been tasked with searching for Xu Miaozhen's Great-Great Grandfather.

So, they used some means, claiming her identity was questionable, and wanted to take her away for investigation.

Xu Miaozhen sensed something was wrong and naturally refused.

When she prepared to retreat, she was blocked.

The other party stopped pretending and directly made a move to keep her, but they hadn't expected Xu Miaozhen to have many trump cards, allowing her to Breakthrough the encirclement and escape.

After an unsuccessful pursuit, they sent a message to Xu Shi, explaining the situation.

Upon learning this, Xu Shi ordered his subordinates to capture her alive.

Of course, he wasn't kindly trying to spare Xu Miaozhen's life; it was just that Xu Miaozhen's ability to Breakthrough the encirclement in that situation greatly interested him.

Moreover, as the descendant of his enemy, he naturally harbored other intentions towards Xu Miaozhen.

After all, during his struggle with Xu Miaozhen's Great-Great Grandfather, Xu Shi had not been without cost; a certain aspect of him had been severely damaged.

Although he could still perform, he had lost the ability to procreate. Xu Miaozhen's Great-Great Grandfather had acquired some strange energy from an unknown source, causing Xu Shi's injury to be extremely severe.

That 'thing' could still be used after repair, but it had lost the ability to produce offspring.

This was also why, even at several hundred years old, he still retained the status of a 'Young Master'.

Although for a Cultivator of his level, offspring were not particularly valued.

However, if it spread, he would inevitably be secretly ridiculed. To vent the resentment in his heart, Xu Shi ordered Xu Miaozhen to be captured alive.

"It was actually for this reason…"

Watching the scenes extracted by Li Xuanfeng and combining them with her own memories, Xu Miaozhen understood the cause and effect. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

The root of everything still came from her Great-Great Grandfather.

She wondered if her Great-Great Grandfather hadn't explained clearly, or if he had omitted the matter of the identity token and the enemy Xu Shi when passing down his dying wish.

This had put Xu Miaozhen in danger.

Even if her identity hadn't been discovered by that subordinate at the time, Xu Shi would have found out sooner or later.

Her survival from this great calamity was only because she met Li Xuanfeng.

"Roar!"

"Senior, please spare my life! I am willing to be your mount!"

The Divine Power Ape suddenly spoke human words.

Although it was the overlord of this area, it ultimately only possessed the strength of an invincible King beneath, meaning it was nothing before a true King Realm expert.

Its temper was indeed bad; otherwise, it wouldn't have been so annoyed by the battle of Xu Miaozhen and her companions from dozens of miles away that it wanted to beat them to death.

Moreover, it also disliked the Human Race.

But in the face of absolute power, it had no choice but to bow its head and dared not show any temper.

Li Xuanfeng had offended the Xu Family. In this Heavenly Spear Domain, the Xu Family was like the heavens, and offending such a force usually had no good outcome.

The Divine Power Ape actually didn't want to be Li Xuanfeng's mount, but at present, there was no other choice; it could only endure it temporarily.

After Li Xuanfeng was eliminated by the Xu Family's strong Cultivators, it could completely switch allegiance to the Xu Family, becoming a servant of two masters… or rather, a mount of two masters.

Unexpectedly, Li Xuanfeng merely glanced at it indifferently, then waved his sleeve, and the Divine Power Ape watched helplessly as its body slowly turned into dust.

"You are too ugly, and too weak!"

"Moreover, you tried to kill this Lord's woman, so you no longer have a reason to live."

Li Xuanfeng looked at the Divine Power Ape indifferently.

Although the Divine Power Ape was three hundred zhang tall and looked fierce and irritable, it was actually just a bully.

It was ill-tempered when encountering those weaker than itself, but decisively submissive when encountering those stronger.

It wouldn't be impressive to take out, and Li Xuanfeng wasn't interested.

"Roar!!!"

The Divine Power Ape let out an unwilling roar.

It could accept any other reason Li Xuanfeng gave, but it particularly resented being called too ugly.

By the aesthetic standards of the ape race, it was mighty and majestic; this Human Race simply didn't know how to appreciate it!

Although it was extremely unwilling, it couldn't stop its own demise. Experiencing death approaching little by little filled it with extreme fear.

A Human Race with such means was certainly not an ordinary King Realm expert.

They must be a top-tier existence even among King Realm Cultivators!

Unfortunately, it was too late for regret now.

"Se-Senior, we were just following orders!"

The six people who had pursued Xu Miaozhen, intending to capture her alive, were trembling like sieves.

The leader wanted to defend himself.

But Li Xuanfeng was too lazy to listen and let them also experience the feeling of death gradually approaching.

"Offending the Xu Family…"

The desperate individuals were filled with intense unwillingness and resentment, wanting to curse Li Xuanfeng before death, but as soon as they opened their mouths, they found their voices completely sealed.

Ultimately, the six people and the ape all turned to dust, vanishing into thin air.

Xu Miaozhen watched this scene in shock. It had only been a few months since they parted, and Li Xuanfeng had already become this powerful?

She had originally thought that after undergoing the Legacy's baptism and the Battle Body's Nirvana, she might slightly catch up to his pace, but she hadn't expected the gap to have widened to such an exaggerated extent!

Xu Miaozhen's eyelashes trembled, a hint of undetectable inferiority flashing through her eyes.

However, she suddenly remembered what Li Xuanfeng had just said, and her clear, black-and-white eyes looked at Li Xuanfeng.

"Brother Li, what did you just say I… I am to you?"
