Everyone from the Xiao Family stared blankly at this scene.
The Chief of the Supreme Dao Palace, who was originally high and mighty, was now paralyzed on the ground like mud.
The skin on his face was lacerated, and his entire body was badly mangled. He tightly hugged Li Ran's calf, and he pleaded with Li Ran as he looked so tiny.
"Don't, don't hit me! I really can't spit it out!" Feng Wanjiang wanted to cry but had no tears.
How could he be a weakling if he could become the chief disciple of a top sect?
On the contrary, regardless of whether it was talent, aptitude, or comprehension ability, he could be said to be extremely strong, rarely having an opponent among his peers.
However, he just so happened to meet Li Ran, this freak.
As soon as they met, he sealed off his qi with the Spirit Suppression Secret Seal.
As a pure Dao cultivator, once he lost his Dao spirit energy, he would simply be a fish on the chopping block.
"If I knew that Li Ran had returned, I wouldn't have come to the Xiao Family even if I was beaten to death!" Feng Wanjiang's intestines were about to turn green with regret.
Li Ran pulled out his leg and stomped his cheek on the ground. "Just now, from your tone, it seems like I can't protect my own wife?"
"I can't, I can't!" Feng Wanjiang trembled. "Just now, I was the one who spoke indiscriminately. Please don't mind it, Sheng Zi Li!"
Li Ran smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm not that calculative when everyone says the wrong thing."
“???” Xiao Nian covered his face.
You've already beaten him to such a state. Aren't you just being petty?
"I knew that Sheng Zi Li was magnanimous and would not lower himself to my level." Feng Wanjiang laughed sheepishly.
"Of course." Li Ran raised his head to look at the Xiao Family members and asked, "Did he say anything else before I came?"
"This…" Everyone looked at each other in dismay.
At this time, the Xiao Family's Sixth Elder whispered, "Feng Wanjiang said that if Qingge doesn't wish to return to the Supreme Dao Palace, then he will cripple her cultivation and have her no longer have anything to do with the sect."
"Oh?" Li Ran narrowed his eyes slightly. "Crippling her cultivation? Chief Feng is really impressive."
Feng Wanjiang's heart instantly turned cold.
He swallowed his saliva and said in a flustered voice, "Sheng Zi Li, I'm just saying this to scare Junior Sister Xiao. How could I dare to cripple her cultivation!"
Li Ran shook his head. "No, you really dare."
Feng Wanjiang was speechless. "…"
A dark light appeared in Li Ran's hand. His face was icy under the light. "Then Chief Feng, guess. Do I dare?"
"No!" Feng Wanjiang's body trembled like a sieve.
This was the number one devil of the Vast Land. He was unrestrained!
What did he not dare to do?
"I'm the head of the Supreme Dao Palace. I'm the disciple of Sect Master Chen Yundao. Therefore, if you touch me, the Supreme Dao Palace will not let this matter rest!"
Pa pa pa.
Li Ran clapped, "Chief Feng's background is really great. Do you want me to introduce myself?"
Feng Wanjiang fell silent.
No matter how big his background was, it was impossible for him to surpass Li Ran.
Moreover, that devil Leng Wuyan…
Perhaps even Chen Yundao would have to consider it?
Veins bulged on Feng Wanjiang's forehead as he roared, "Elder Wu, if you don't show yourself, I'll really be killed!"
"Elder?"
Suddenly, he felt as if a light was shining on his back. He suddenly turned around to look.
Ripples appeared in the air, and a black-robed old man appeared out of nowhere.
His beard and hair were all white, expressionless.
With a wave of his sleeve, Feng Wanjiang was directly sucked into his palm and firmly placed on the ground.
A trace of qi entered his body, and his surging qi and blood instantly calmed down.
"Elder Wu, why are you only here now?!” Feng Wanjiang heaved a sigh of relief as he complained.
The two of them had come down the mountain together, but Elder Wu had gone somewhere.
He hadn't taken the Xiao Family seriously at first, so he came to the door by himself. But, of course, he didn't expect to meet Li Ran here…
Elder Wu shook his head. "Wanjiang, you're too impatient. Can I still watch you get crippled? Do you know that we missed a great opportunity?"
"Opportunity?"
Feng Wanjiang was taken aback for a moment before quickly reacting.
If Li Ran really wanted to cripple him, there would be a war between the two sects. Then Elder Wu would have an excellent reason to kill Li Ran.
However, that roar from before had instead reminded him.
"Are you using me as bait?" Feng Wanjiang frowned.
"Those who accomplish great things don't care about minor matters," Elder Wu said indifferently. "I don't need to say this. Wanjiang should understand."
Feng Wanjiang snorted.
This was the reason.
However, when he thought of Elder Wu hiding in the shadows and watching helplessly as he was beaten up, he felt extremely displeased.
Li Ran's eyes flashed with vigilance as he watched the conversation between the two as if no one was present.
Elder Wu was very powerful.
Even standing there, his presence was akin to a mountain, intimidating everyone present.
At this moment, he noticed that Xiao Qingge's body was trembling slightly, her eyes filled with fear.
Li Ran frowned. "Qingge, you know him?"
Xiao Qingge nodded and whispered, "His name is Wu Chengkong. He's at the peak of the Heavenly Tribulation Realm! Back then, I was expelled from the sect because of him."
"The peak of the Tribulation Realm…"
Li Ran's gaze grew increasingly solemn.
They were existences that were only second to Emperor-level existences. They were peak figures able to dominate over ten thousand kilometers!
Although he had killed an ancient tribulation puppet corpse, that was due to all sorts of coincidences. In the face of a true Heavenly Tribulation Realm, he didn't think of winning.
The difference in the cultivation realm was simply too significant. It was not the existence of the same level.
This was a gap that no divine ability could bridge!
Elder Wu looked at Li Ran and shook his head, sighing. "Sheng Zi Li’s talent is indeed exceptional. I've only seen him once in my life. At your age, you can be called the number one person in this world! Unfortunately…"
"I almost killed you!" he said.
He didn't conceal his killing intent at all.
But now that there was no longer a valid reason, he couldn't just take action. Otherwise, even the sect wouldn't be able to protect him.
After all, in front of Leng Wuyan, Heavenly Tribulation was just a joke.
Elder Wu shot a glance at Xiao Qingge. "You dare not even accept the sect's edict? Xiao Qingge, you're getting bolder and bolder!"
Xiao Qingge shook her head and said, "My talent cannot be considered unique. So why must the sect force me to return?"
Elder Wu snorted coldly. "Do you think the sect values talent? You lost all your cultivation and were expelled from the sect. Now that you've returned, wouldn't the world laugh at our Supreme Dao Palace?”
"Otherwise, you will be an honest mortal for the rest of your life, or you’ll die here!"
These words were truly overbearing!
Xiao Qingge's face was pale. "You!"
Boom!
Li Ran's entire body shone. Ancient seals, blood energy, and Buddha's light were mixed together. Finally, his aura reached its peak!
He stood in front of Xiao Qingge, his eyes shining with a faint golden light.
"Isn't it true that the Supreme Dao Palace is incompetent?"
