Chapter 406 Destroy!

The Grand Ancestor, a Peak Venerable Cultivator in Zhenhai King's words, was actually picked up by Li Xuanfeng like a chick.

This scene had an immense impact on everyone; the King Realm was already a legend to them, and the Peak Venerable Realm was unimaginable.

Yet, such a powerful Cultivator, right after Zhenhai King finished speaking, was casually grabbed by Li Xuanfeng, who pierced through space from a distant location and pulled him out!

What kind of terrifying strength was this?!

What was Li Xuanfeng's background?!

Turbulent waves surged in the hearts of all Cultivators, and they almost lost the ability to think.

Zhenhai King's face turned even paler; he initially thought Li Xuanfeng was in the King Realm, then discovered he was a Venerable, and now he was so powerful that he could casually capture his Grand Ancestor from a distant location?!

What exactly was going on?

Even a Half-Saint couldn't achieve this, could he?

Could he be a Saint?

But why did he refer to himself as 'this Venerable'?

Although the title 'this Venerable' isn't exclusively used by Venerables, Cultivators who aren't Venerables generally don't refer to themselves this way.

Zhenhai King felt his mind in chaos, sensing that something terrible was about to happen.

As the person involved, Sky-Rending Venerable was still in a daze; he had left a jade pendant with Zhenhai King, and when the jade pendant detected that Zhenhai King's life was in danger, it would automatically shatter, allowing him to sense it immediately.

The moment the jade pendant shattered in Zhenhai King's Sea of Consciousness, Sky-Rending Venerable instantly detected it, but not wanting to alarm the Peak Venerables of the Sky Feather Race and Blood Spirit Race, he did not overtly release his Divine Sense to investigate the cause.

Instead, he first sensed and locked onto Zhenhai King's location, preparing to come directly to see what was happening.

However, before he could make a move, a large hand pierced through space, appearing directly before him and grabbing him.

The opponent's strength was so terrifying that the moment the large hand descended, all his power was suppressed, and he couldn't even resist.

Even a Half-Saint, capable of crushing a Peak Venerable, couldn't achieve such a degree; only a true Saint could render him completely helpless.

Yet, when he was captured, he found that Li Xuanfeng had no Saint power fluctuations on him whatsoever.

Saint power is one of the hallmarks of a Saint; one can easily judge whether someone is a Saint by whether they possess Saint power fluctuations, but Li Xuanfeng had none!

So Sky-Rending Venerable was completely bewildered, still unclear about the situation even now.

"Junior Qiu Wutian, an Elder of the Xuan Tian Sect, is stationed on Xuanxiao Star by order of the Sect. I don't know what matter has startled Senior into action; I hope Senior will enlighten me!"

"If this unfilial descendant has offended Senior, everything will be handled according to Senior's wishes!"

Sky-Rending Venerable quickly recovered from his daze, and despite his body being restrained by powerful forces, he still had to speak with a fawning smile.

Although he couldn't figure out why Li Xuanfeng had no Saint power fluctuations, his immense power was an undeniable fact. Without a Saint from his Sect present to support him, Sky-Rending Venerable dared not be presumptuous.

Zhenhai King, maintaining his humiliating posture with his face to the ground, felt his heart turn cold upon hearing this. Li Xuanfeng wanted an explanation, and given what they had done to Anya, it meant certain death!

"Wutian? Sky-Rending? Your titles are quite imposing."

Li Xuanfeng did not answer Qiu Wutian's words; instead, he spoke with interest.

In the Eastern Barrens, when Li Xuanfeng's title 'Peerless' first spread, Cultivators felt he was too arrogant. With countless heroes in the world, who dared to call himself 'Peerless'?

But Li Xuanfeng felt that, compared to his Peerless title, titles like 'Sky-Suppressing,' 'Sky-Slaying,' 'Sky-Opening,' and 'Sky-Rending' sounded even more audacious.

Qiu Wutian, by calling himself Sky-Rending, was likely an arrogant person at heart, and being able to cultivate to the Peak Venerable Realm indeed gave him the capital for arrogance.

However, no matter how arrogant, in the face of absolute power, he could only smile fawningly. Even if Sky-Rending Venerable was arrogant and confident at heart, he understood that in front of Li Xuanfeng, he couldn't resist by merely erupting in anger or uttering threats.

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare! Senior can just call me Xiao Tian!"

Sky-Rending Venerable said with a terrified expression.

However, just as his voice fell, he noticed Anya beside Li Xuanfeng, and the expression on his face instantly froze, his heart sinking to the bottom.

His entire body's power was suppressed, and he had just recovered from his daze, so he naturally hadn't noticed Anya, who was just a Mortal, immediately.

Now seeing Anya, he realized that Zhenhai King was suppressed by Li Xuanfeng not because he had offended Li Xuanfeng, but because of Anya!

Although Anya was just a Mortal, she was a relatively important part of Xuan Tian Sect's many current plans.

In order to force out Anya's Heaven Devouring Demonic Body without attracting the attention of the Sky Feather Race and Blood Spirit Race, Xuan Tian Sect had only dispatched four Life and Death Realm Cultivators specifically for this matter, and had even deliberately planted a Soul Restriction.

Sky-Rending Venerable, to guard against the two Peak Venerables of the Sky Feather Race and Blood Spirit Race stationed there, rarely even extended his Divine Sense over Da Xuan City.

He hadn't expected that a powerful individual would ultimately discover the anomaly.

"It seems Senior already knows the secret about her?"

Sky-Rending Venerable looked at Li Xuanfeng.

Li Xuanfeng said nothing, casually throwing Sky-Rending Venerable next to Zhenhai King, the powerful suppression rendering him immobile. Then, he picked up Anya with one hand and removed the illusion that had shielded her perception.

Looking at the suddenly changing scene, the little girl was still a bit bewildered.

"These two are bad guys who targeted you. They ordered their subordinates to kill people and then shifted all the blame onto you, deliberately creating the false impression that you are a 'Calamity Star.'"

As Li Xuanfeng spoke, he performed a Soul-Seizing technique on Zhenhai King in front of Anya and everyone, making him confess his deeds. However, under Li Xuanfeng's control, he did not expose the secret about Anya.

This scene caused Sky-Rending Venerable's pupils to constrict violently. He had never heard of such an eerie method of Soul manipulation, capable of making someone reveal the truth without triggering a Soul Restriction; it was infinitely more effective than violent Soul searching!

At this moment, he finally became 100% certain that Li Xuanfeng had already learned all the details of Xuan Tian Sect's plan, and at the same time, he knew that his death was at hand.

After listening to Zhenhai King's plan targeting Anya, everyone suddenly understood that it was all their doing.

Although they didn't know why such powerful Cultivators would go to such lengths to target a Mortal little girl, everyone also knew that there must be secrets they couldn't know.

Anya's eyes immediately turned red after hearing this.

Li Xuanfeng said nothing, merely glancing around at the surrounding crowd.

Soon, some quick-witted individuals reacted and bravely spoke up.

"We misunderstood her; she is not a 'Calamity Star,' nor will she bring misfortune to people. It was all these two culprits behind the scenes!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I said how could such a cute little girl be a Calamity Star? She is not wrong; we are wrong, and these two bad guys are wrong!"

"I truly deserve to die; I shouldn't have doubted such a cute little girl!"

…Everyone spoke up, vindicating Anya.

Listening to the voices that were completely different from before, Anya could no longer control herself and began to cry.

She wasn't a Calamity Star; everyone said she wasn't a Calamity Star.

It wasn't her who killed her clansmen, it wasn't her who brought death to her family; it was all the fault of those bad guys.

"Big Brother…"

Anya buried her head in Li Xuanfeng's shoulder, softly weeping.

Li Xuanfeng could only gently pat her back in comfort.

"Big Brother will help you get revenge."

Li Xuanfeng said softly.

"Mm."

Anya cried for a while with her head buried before softly humming in response.

Li Xuanfeng clenched his hand, and the light in the eyes of Zhenhai King and Sky-Rending Venerable quickly extinguished, their Souls dissipated, and their life force extinguished.
