The middle-aged man suddenly stood up and immediately, a tremendous presence radiated from his body. It turned into a visible force that surged through the surroundings, causing the mountain to tremble slightly.
"Venerable Poisonsword, don't worry. I'm not someone who goes back on my word. I'll definitely do what I've promised you. Once I've avenged the Bi family, my body will belong to you. I won't resist at all." The middle-aged man's eyes were filled with determination. He was ready to face death with equanimity.
"Kekekeke, good, good, good. I trust you, but I hope you can move faster. Don't make me wait for too long," the unpleasant, hoarse voice rang out in Bi Dao's head once again. It seemed to be impatient.
Bi Dao said nothing more. With a wave of his hand, the sword stabbed into the ground beside him immediately erupted with an extremely great force, viciously slamming into the mountain. With a boom, the entire mountain collapsed. It had actually been pulverized by the supreme force that had erupted from the sword.
"My dwelling! My dwelling! Bi Dao, you brat, do you know that this is the dwelling that I built with great difficulty all those years ago? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
"Venerable Poisonsword, you'll be able to see the light of day again soon. Do you still care about a mere dwelling?" Bi Dao said coldly without any expression. He clenched his hand and gripped the sword beside him tightly.
The sword was no ordinary weapon. It was the Heaven-quaking Sword, a Saint Weapon left behind by the Holy Emperor at the Ninth Heavenly Layer. It was the Saint Weapon of venerable Poisonsword, a peak expert who had shaken up the continent five thousand years ago.
Venerable Poisonsword immediately fell silent when he heard Bi Dao's words.
Bi Dao remained silent. Holding the Heaven-quaking Sword in one hand, he immediately shot off like a cannonball, charging into the sky in a single moment. After determining the direction, he shot off into the distance with lightning speed. He was instantly submerged in the dense, poisonous mist.
Hellfire City was a king-level city within the Karl Empire. Both in terms of scale, area, and prosperity, it was only second to the seven capital cities of the Tian Yuan Continent.
Hellfire City had a history of tens of thousands of years in the Karl Empire. Its walls were made entirely of fine iron and were extremely sturdy. They could effortlessly defend against the attacks of Class 5 Magical Beasts. Throughout history, these sturdy walls of Hellfire City had withstood over a hundred waves of magical beasts. Each time, they would emerge unscathed.
There were several tens of millions of people living in Hellfire City. In addition to the daily flow of people, the total number of people living in Hellfire City was close to a hundred million. With such a large population, it was only natural that there would be many experts in Hellfire City, as well as many clans and forces of various sizes.
The Bloodcloud clan was the most powerful clan in Hellfire City right now. It used to be the second most powerful clan in the city, but ever since the Bi family was wiped out in a single night fifty years ago, the Bloodcloud clan had completely replaced the Bi family's position in the city, becoming the undisputed number one clan in the city.
This was because there was a new Saint Ruler in the Bloodcloud clan. This Saint Ruler was not the ancestor of the clan.
Instead, he was a prodigious junior of the clan. With his great talent, he had become a Saint Ruler in just a few hundred years and had even become the disciple of an Imperial Protector of the Karl Empire. He was greatly valued and was nurtured as a future pillar of the empire. As a result, the Bloodcloud clan's status in Hellfire City was like the midday sun. They were revered by everyone.
Suddenly, a tremendous presence appeared outside the city. A figure had already turned into a faint blur, flying over the walls of the city at an extremely low altitude. He directly flew into the city and did not slow down at all. He flew toward the center of the city with a pressuring presence, alarming countless people along the way.
The figure flew over half of Hellfire City in a high profile manner before finally landing in front of a large mansion at the very center of the city. This mansion was where the number one clan of Hellfire City, the Bloodcloud clan, resided.
This figure wore a black robe and exuded a powerful aura. It was so oppressive that it was difficult to breathe. His long hair and black robe fluttered without any wind. He stared at the mansion in front of him in a daze. His eyes revealed a look of reminiscence, mixed with deep sorrow.
The four burly guards at the entrance of the Bloodcloud clan glanced at the black-robed figure in fear. Without saying anything else, they immediately ran back to the clan to report the situation. They did not dare to stay a single moment longer.
The tremendous presence from the black-robed figure made them shiver in fear, causing their legs to tremble. Over the years, they had seen many experts, but this was the first time they had felt such a powerful aura. This aura contained a great pressure, and the guards felt as if their souls were about to be crushed by this aura.
Before the guards could report, all the experts of the Bloodcloud clan sensed the terrifying presence from outside. Immediately, a vigorous but extremely polite voice rang out from within the clan, "May I ask which senior has come as a guest to my Bloodcloud clan? I am the patriarch of the Bloodcloud clan, You Zixing. I represent all the members of the clan in welcoming senior."
With that, a handsome middle-aged man in golden robes slowly walked out from within the clan. Although the middle-aged man walked at a steady pace, he crossed several dozen meters with each step. In just a dozen steps, he arrived before the entrance, bowing to the black-robed figure politely.
You Zixing.
He was the prodigy of the Bloodcloud clan who had reached Saint Ruler in less than a thousand years. He had become the disciple of an Imperial Protector of the Karl Empire, so he was greatly valued. At the same time, he was the patriarch of the Bloodcloud clan.
Soon after, figures flickered within the clan. Several Heaven Saint Masters and a group of Earth Saint Masters arrived from all directions. They all stood behind You Zixing and sternly studied the black-robed figure who radiated with such a tremendous presence. They had no idea why he had come.
The black-robed man stood ramrod straight like a javelin in front of the entrance of the Bloodcloud Clan. His eyes were absent-minded as he stared at the golden plaque with the words "Bloodcloud Clan" written on it. His expression was extremely complicated. There was reminiscence, pain, and anger.
"I've been gone for fifty years. I never thought that Hellfire City would have changed so much. That glorious clan of the past has already become a memory of the past. Now, it's completely different. Not a single memory remains," the black-robed figure murmured to himself. The sorrow in his eyes became heavier and heavier. In the end, it rapidly turned into an ice-cold killing intent. At that moment, the reminiscence and pain in his eyes vanished, becoming abnormally cold.
Suddenly, the black-robed figure stabbed the sword in his hand into the ground. Immediately, a terrifying storm of energy erupted from the sword. As if it was under someone's control, it charged toward the Bloodcloud clan with an unstoppable force.
"Senior, what is the meaning of this?" The prodigy of the Bloodcloud clan, You Zixing, paled in fright. He immediately retreated while Saint Force surged out from his body, forming a barrier that protected him and the experts behind him.
Under the impact of the terrifying energy storm, You Zixing and the others did not suffer the slightest bit of damage. However, the Bloodcloud Clan's gate and walls were not spared. They collapsed one after another and were quickly submerged in the smoke and dust that filled the sky. Even the plaque made entirely of purple gold hanging above the gate fell down.
The black-robed man took a step forward and punched the purple-gold plaque that had yet to fall to the ground, shattering the incomparably hard plaque into pieces.
More and more people gathered in the Bloodcloud clan. Many guards and clansmen had arrived. They all hid behind You Zixing as they stared at the collapsed walls and doors in shock.
The disturbance from the Bloodcloud clan obviously alarmed the people in the surroundings. Very soon, many people gathered in the surroundings to watch the show. There were even a few Heaven Saint Masters who hovered several hundred meters in the air, watching from afar.
You Zixing's face became extremely ugly. He asked with a heavy voice, "I am You Zixing. My master is Mo Jian, Imperial Protector. Senior, may I ask how my Bloodcloud clan has offended you? Please enlighten me."
The black-robed figure's gaze finally landed on You Zixing. His gaze was cold and emotionless. He said, "Do you know who I am?"
You Zixing carefully studied the black-robed figure. A sliver of confusion appeared in his eyes. He said, "Junior is ignorant, so I hope senior can forgive me. I hope senior can enlighten me." You Zixing did not dare to be rude, because he had already determined that the black-robed man in front of him was a peerless powerhouse whose strength was comparable to his master. If he offended such a person, perhaps even his master would not be able to protect him.
"My name is Bi Dao," the black-robed figure said emotionlessly.
You Zixing immediately shuddered when he heard the name. Shock filled his face as he cried out, "What! Your surname is Bi! Are you a member of the Bi family?" You Zixing's heart churned as a great fear spread through him. This was because the estate of the Bloodcloud clan had been built where the Bi family used to be.
Fifty years ago, the news of the Bi family being wiped out in a single night had shaken up the entire Hellfire City. Now, not only had the Bloodcloud clan replaced the Bi family as the greatest clan in the city, they had even taken over the ruins of the Bi family. If this terrifying person from the Bi family misunderstood that the destruction of the Bi family had something to do with the Bloodcloud clan, You Zixing really did not dare to imagine what kind of impact the Bloodcloud clan would suffer.
