As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1925: Witnessing Emperor Xi Xi’s Growth Over the Years, Today She Slaughters Her Way Out of the Blood-Red Golden Light Prefecture...
Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
The dense, cloying smell of blood still hung heavy in the air, swirling with an incessant turbulence, as the foggy crimson mist continued its relentless drift.
An absolute hush fell over the entire courtyard.
The cultivators of the Liu Family stared with wide, unblinking eyes, their bodies chilled to the very bone, as if encased in an unfathomable frost.
Their own progenitor... a formidable expert at the Second Level Martial Saint realm! He was the very emblem of their family's pride!
And yet...
And yet, he had been utterly annihilated on the spot!
Flesh and blood had erupted outwards, leaving behind only a dissipating shroud of blood fog!
Every cultivator's gaze was locked, round with utter disbelief, onto the small figure of a girl gripping a pink Triple Cannon.
This young girl, barely eight years of age, still bore the innocent bloom of youth upon her face, her cheeks plump and full of a youthful elasticity, her large eyes sparkling with spirited vitality; there was no doubt she would blossom into a great beauty.
However, this adorable, exquisitely carved child was, in truth... terrifyingly potent, dispatching a Second Level Martial Saint with a single, decisive move!
Such ruthless efficiency!
The descendants of the Liu Family were left in a state of complete stupefaction; they were merely a second-tier noble house, and a Second Level Martial Saint ancestor was their most significant bastion of power, now, that bastion had been instantly pulverized!
With the Triple Cannon resting casually on her shoulder, Xi Xi’s large eyes betrayed no hint of remorse, her demeanor calm and detached.
She was one who had navigated the treacherous currents of life-and-death trials, who had borne witness to unimaginable wickedness, and who had narrowly escaped the clutches of Martial Saints with her life.
Her capacity for mercy had long since waned; she had indeed offered this Martial Saint an opportunity.
An opportunity to surrender the family member responsible for injuring an Inner Sect disciple of the Golden Light Sub-sect, and to likewise cripple his own cultivation.
But alas, the Martial Saint had refused.
Xi Xi tilted her head, her chin lifting ever so slightly.
Could it be...
He, this Martial Saint ancestor, was the linchpin of their family, but was she, Li Nuanxi, the newly appointed Sect Master, not the pillar of the sect? Was she to be treated with such blatant disrespect, unable to safeguard her own disciples?
This Martial Saint ancestor, in his defiance, had dared to challenge Li Nuanxi's authority within the Qian Yuan Divine Sect!
A heart filled with malice, utterly rotten to its core!
It reminded her all too vividly of Gu Chuan from the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect, who had relentlessly pursued her in the past!
Consequently, Xi Xi harbored no hesitation whatsoever and acted decisively, unleashing the trigger and firing a Thunderball, a product of the Immortal Work Barrett, from the Triple Cannon.
However, the Triple Cannon, enhanced and upgraded by her father, was reputed to possess terrifying might, a level of power that Xi Xi herself had not fully anticipated!
A solitary Wood Raven Thunderball had been sufficient to utterly obliterate a Second Level Martial Saint, exploding him into a mist of blood, leaving no trace of his existence.
This feat left Xi Xi with a peculiar sensation...
A feeling akin to employing a colossal cannon to eliminate a mere mosquito.
"It seems a trifle wasteful," Xi Xi mused aloud.
Her quiet utterance instantly shattered the palpable silence that had enveloped the surroundings!
A chorus of anguished cries erupted!
Wails, gasps of sheer astonishment, heartbroken lamentations...
A cacophony of sounds reverberated without cessation!
And observing from behind Xi Xi, Nan Lihuo and Zhang Qing Zheng, the original elders of the Golden Light Mansion, could only gaze upon her with profound admiration, their perception of Xi Xi undergoing a significant transformation.
When Xi Xi first ascended to the position of Sect Master of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect, they had believed it was solely due to her exceptional talent, which had compelled Lv Taibai to willingly relinquish his position.
But in retrospect, it was now evident that Xi Xi's ascendancy was not merely a product of her talent, but also a reflection of her evolved approach to leadership, no longer the mere child she once was.
Nan Lihuo experienced the most intricate medley of emotions, his sentiments in a state of flux; Xi Xi had undergone a profound metamorphosis since her days in the Golden Light Mansion!
Yet, Nan Lihuo understood with certainty that this transformation was for the better.
A trace of comforting satisfaction flickered in his eyes; this growth was sufficient to guarantee that Xi Xi, the young girl, would not be subjected to bullying in the future.
Although, frankly... who in this current world could possibly dare to bully her?
Furthermore, Xi Xi possessed an exceptionally protective father!
Nan Lihuo’s thoughts turned to Li Che, the man who had consistently defied expectations and achieved the impossible.
"Teacher Lihuo, the remainder is in your hands. Drive them all out, expel them from Golden Light Prefecture City entirely," Xi Xi instructed, effortlessly shouldering the Triple Cannon.
"Golden Light Prefecture stands as the undisputed territory of our Qian Yuan Divine Sect. Whether they be dragons or tigers, any who dare to enter must prostrate themselves in submission!"
"I, Li Nuanxi, the newly appointed Sect Master of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect, have decreed it so!"
Xi Xi puffed out her small chest, her thumb raised with a confident gesture, pointing directly at herself.
Such unyielding arrogance and absolute dominance!
Nan Lihuo offered a smile, brimming with satisfaction; this world indeed demanded a display of power, lest one be trampled upon and exploited for their perceived weakness.
"Understood."
Nan Lihuo, accompanied by Zhang Qing Zheng, promptly advanced towards the Liu Residence.
Within the confines of the Liu Family compound, sounds of desperate defiance and bitter reluctance echoed.
"Nan Lihuo, do you have any comprehension of the forces that stand behind our Liu Family?! It is the Second Prince! It is the illustrious Dajing Royal Family!"
"Qian Yuan Divine Sect! Your reign of arrogance will not endure for long!"
"Golden Light Prefecture shares its borders with the Third Prince's esteemed Mysterious Temple; you cannot possibly assert complete dominion here; your Qian Yuan Divine Sect utterly lacks the requisite qualifications!"
...
Furious growls emanated from the elders of the Liu Family, their gazes burning like fire.
With their Martial Saint ancestor, the very hope of their lineage, annihilated, they had descended into madness, abandoning all pretense of dignity.
"The Second Prince?"
Xi Xi tilted her head slightly, a flicker of thought crossing her eyes.
The mention of the Dajing Royal Family brought to her mind all the hardships their family had endured within the Great Scenic Divine Capital.
She recalled the circumstances under which their family had become the target of the Dajing Royal Family's machinations.
A shadow of gloom immediately fell over Xi Xi's expression.
Nan Lihuo's actions were executed with brutal efficiency, expelling the members of the Liu Family. For those who refused to depart, Nan Lihuo dealt with them decisively, without hesitation.
