While Wang Xiaoqiang was enjoying the service of the two women, three figures streaked across the southwestern sky. These three figures flew at great speed, with a fierce momentum that made the air roar violently, as if heralding the onset of a storm.

After Wang Xiaoqiang had finished his bath, he instructed the two women, "Xianshu, you are responsible for the safety of your family members, Qingcheng, you are responsible for the safety of my family members."

Afterwards, Wang Xiaoqiang gave Ye Qingcheng the address of his old home but did not tell her his family members' names, asking her only to watch over Sanmiao Village.

With Ye Qingcheng's Divine Sense, she could completely envelop the entire Sanmiao Village, so that anyone with a cultivation base entering the village could not escape her detection.

The two women left to carry out their orders.

Wang Xiaoqiang, with a move of his willpower, released three hundred Spiritual Springs, so he still appeared to have the cultivation of the Divinity Transformation Stage.

Then, having concealed his cultivation base, Wang Xiaoqiang flew up into the air and started patrolling back and forth above the Zhoushan Archipelago.

If the Mount Hua Sword Sect intended to cause trouble, it would definitely target the Lin Family first, given that they hadn't yet ascertained who was responsible for the death of Li Taiyi.

Sure enough, not long after Wang Xiaoqiang had flown up into the sky, three figures appeared on the northwestern horizon. These figures approached quickly; initially, they seemed as small as pellets but rapidly assumed human forms and soon were close at hand.

Since Wang Xiaoqiang and the three men from Li Gufeng's side did not know each other, when they faced each other, both sides displayed strong expressions of doubt. However, after a quick scan with their Divine Sense, both parties soon guessed each other's identities because, in the Cultivation Realm, Cultivators of the Divinity Transformation Stage were few and far between. A young man in his twenties with such a cultivation wasn't likely to be anyone other than Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang had seen Li Taiyi, who greatly resembled his father, so when he saw Li Gufeng, he immediately suspected it was him and, upon observing his cultivation base, was even more certain.

"Kid, who are you?" Li Gufeng stopped abruptly, his narrow eyes focusing intently on Wang Xiaoqiang.

"And who are you?" Wang Xiaoqiang countered, his gaze equally icy.

"You answer me first…" Li Gufeng said very assertively.

"Why should I?" Wang Xiaoqiang replied defiantly.

Li Gufeng was taken aback for a moment and pursed his lips, "Kid, are you Wang Xiaoqiang?"

"Why should I answer you?" Wang Xiaoqiang responded bluntly.

"Gufeng, we don't need to waste words with him. A probe at the Lin Family will tell us everything…" Mo Wentian said coldly. With his insight, how could he not see that the youth in front of him was Wang Xiaoqiang? Was there another so young with the cultivation of Divinity Transformation in the whole world?

"Hmph, after dealing with the Lin Family, we'll take care of the Wang Family next." Li Gufeng said tentatively. He couldn't be sure whether Li Taiyi was indeed dead or if it was Wang Xiaoqiang who had killed him.

Of course, Wang Xiaoqiang also wasn't one hundred percent certain that the speaker was Li Gufeng, but hearing Li Gufeng talk about targeting not just the Lin Family but also his own Wang Family, his heart sank. The Lin Family was one matter, given that he had no real ties or feelings towards the Lin Family members, but he couldn't allow anything to happen to his own family.

Thus,

hearing Li Gufeng's words, a murderous intent filled Wang Xiaoqiang's heart.

However, taking on these three men together could be troublesome, so he decided to take them by surprise and eliminate one first.

When the three men coldly glanced at Wang Xiaoqiang and flew towards the Lin Family,

Wang Xiaoqiang released all the Spiritual Springs within him, not a single one left.

This act was extremely dangerous, but Wang Xiaoqiang did it nonetheless.

After releasing the Spiritual Springs, Wang Xiaoqiang pulled out an Invisibility Talisman and activated it, instantly rendering his body invisible.

Then, stepping on two Spiritual Springs, he quietly flew towards the slowly departing figures.

The remaining 1010 Spiritual Springs hovered around him, following his form.

Although a Cultivator's five senses are far superior to those of an ordinary person, they are still unable to see someone who has concealed themselves invisibly; they could only sense through Divine Sense or detect the qi of the other person.

Now, with Wang Xiaoqiang having concealed himself, he could evade detection by the five senses. With no Spiritual Springs left in his body, he appeared to be no different from an ordinary scholar and could thus evade Divine Sense detection. His realm had reached the Void Returning State; after reaching the Divinity Transformation Realm, one's qi would naturally become more subdued, giving off an air of profound serenity, and for those in the Void Returning State, all hints of their qi would be concealed.

Thus, at this moment, as Wang Xiaoqiang quietly approached the three men, they absolutely could not sense his presence.

But the three men were very fast, and Wang Xiaoqiang could not fly too quickly without making a sound of breaking through the air, so all the way, he never had a chance to get closer.

Until…

When the three men flew towards the Lin Family, Wang Xiaoqiang finally increased his speed.

Li Gufeng, along with Mo Wentian and Elder Mo, entered the Lin Family where Lin Xianshu, who had been waiting at home, flashed a look of panic and despair in her eyes.

Where is Wang Xiaoqiang?

A question surfaced in her mind.

Seeing Li Gufeng and two elders from the Mount Hua Sword Sect personally arriving, Lin Zhiyuan, the head of the Lin Family, was also terrified. After all, he knew that Li Gufeng's son, Li Taiyi, had died at the Lin Family's hands—a grave sin. If Li Gufeng found out, he would undoubtedly exterminate all members of the Lin Family without mercy. Even with his usually calm demeanor, a hint of panic couldn't help but show.

Li Gufeng and his two companions landed in the Lin Family's courtyard and did not enter the house. They just stood in the yard. Years ago, Lin Zhiyuan had brought Lin Xianshu to the Mount Hua Sword Sect, naturally having met Li Gufeng. Although his heart was in turmoil, he managed to suppress it and greeted Li Gufeng with a cupped fist salute, "Sect Leader Li, this humble one presents his respects…"

Li Gufeng did not reply. He reached out, and a hand formed from True Qi immediately grasped Lin Zhiyuan by the neck, pulling him closer.

Lin Zhiyuan's face turned beet red, unable to catch his breath.

Lin Xianshu rushed forward, saying, "Let go of my grandfather..."

Li Gufeng reached out again and another hand of True Qi formed, seizing Lin Xianshu by the neck and pulling her forward, "Wench, speak up. Did Li Taiyi and his men come here? If you don't tell the truth, I'll start with your grandfather first..."

At that moment, Wang Xiaoqiang had quietly flown above the Lin Family's courtyard, clearly witnessing everything happening inside. He quietly moved closer to Li Gufeng...

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang had not yet appeared, Lin Xianshu felt a wave of despair rising from her heart, she said, "Li Taiyi didn't come here. He—he got into a conflict with the evil cultivator Black and White Demon Duo..."

"Bullshit! The Black and White Demon Duo know my son; they would never dare to provoke Taiyi," Li Gufeng's eyes revealed a ferocious look. What he said was the truth. Even though evil cultivators are sinister, they are the type who bullies the weak and fears the strong. They wouldn't dare provoke a powerhouse like the Mount Hua Sword Sect, let alone the sect leader's son, Li Taiyi.

After saying so, his grip tightened on Lin Zhiyuan's neck, intending to snap it in one go.

Just then...

Crack!

The arm Li Gufeng was using to hold Lin Zhiyuan, severed from the shoulder, blood spurting wildly, spraying Lin Zhiyuan's face but also saving his life.

Using the Five-Color Spiritual Qi Blade to sever Li Gufeng's arm, Wang Xiaoqiang did not hesitate and immediately launched a Five-Color Spiritual Qi Spear, piercing through Li Gufeng's chest.

He nailed him just as he was trying to stand up.

Though these two strikes took time to describe, they happened in just two seconds. It could be said that it was an instant kill.

Originally, the well-hidden Wang Xiaoqiang had quietly landed behind the three men. Not only had Li Gufeng and his companions failed to guard against him, but their attention was also completely focused on the Lin Family grandparents. Wang Xiaoqiang had absorbed all 1012 Spirit Springs into his body, causing his Spiritual Power to surge. Using the Power of Void Returning, he empowered the Spiritual Energy Blade and Gun, achieving unparalleled destructive power. It was hard for Li Gufeng to survive.

Even as a cultivator of the Divinity Transformation Stage, Li Gufeng, despite suffering heavy injuries, did not die instantly. He forced himself to expel the Spiritual Energy Spear from his body.

Struggling to turn around. His eyes stared intently at the air behind him. Although he couldn't see Wang Xiaoqiang, he could sense with his Divine Sense an overwhelming surge of Spiritual Power, like a whirlwind. Soon, he discovered that the surging power was far beyond what could be possessed at the Divinity Transformation Stage. Not just Li Gufeng, but also Mo Wentian and Elder Moo realized that the erupting spiritual force was far higher than the Divinity Transformation.

Those who were supposed to counteract were stunned by the immense spiritual power emanating from Wang Xiaoqiang.

Meanwhile, Lin Xianshu had already freed herself from Li Gufeng's Spiritual Energy Hand and promptly and decisively drew the Ink Snow Sword, slashing fiercely at the dying Li Gufeng in front of her.

Although Li Gufeng was severely injured and close to death, he was not someone a Golden Core stage cultivator could easily handle. He waved his left hand, dispelling the Ink Snow Sword.

Lin Xianshu was shaken back by the tremendous force.

Worried that Li Gufeng might harm Lin Xianshu, Wang Xiaoqiang immediately struck with another Spiritual Energy hammer, smashing it into Li Gufeng's head.

Boom!

Li Gufeng's head was completely shattered by the Spiritual Energy hammer, splattering brains and flesh.

Besprinkling Mo Wentian and Elder Moo with gore.

After killing Li Gufeng, Wang Xiaoqiang no longer had any reservations. He revealed himself and said to Mo Wentian and Elder Moo, "I am Wang Xiaoqiang. If you don't want to die, just stand still and don't move, or I'll send you to hell..."

Mo Wentian and Elder Moo, who had just been about to move, immediately ceased all actions upon hearing this. They were as shocked as they were keenly aware that, even if they joined forces, they could not withstand more than three moves in front of Wang Xiaoqiang because he had reached the Void Returning State.

Void Returning, what concept is that?

That is, an unrivaled existence across the entire Earth.

The death of Li Gufeng served as solid proof. If Li Gufeng were not already dead, they might still stand a chance against Wang Xiaoqiang in a fight. But now, with Li Gufeng dead, any slight misstep would lead them to the same fate.

Mo Wentian and Elder Moo, though they had lived for a century, did not wish to die because they were only half a step away from Divinity Transformation. Once they achieved Divinity Transformation, they could live up to an additional two hundred years and possibly strive further to break through to Void Returning, living up to five hundred years.

Who would choose death when they could live? (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit qidian.com to cast your votes and support the author. Mobile users can read on m.qidian.com.)
