Li Xiong Tu's imposing figure trembled suddenly, plunging into a deep silence as if the world around him had ceased to exist.
After a long while, he slowly raised his head, as if his head weighed a million pounds. His eyes shot out an intense sharp light, fixating on Chu Yang's face, and he asked word by word, “Who killed him?! Who?!”
“Xiao Chenyu! First Patriarch of the Xiao Clan!”
“Xiao Chenyu.” Li Xiong Tu nodded slowly, as if he had engraved these three words into his heart. He let out a mournful laugh and said, “I will take revenge! I will avenge the ancestral master!”
Suddenly, he let out a long howl towards the sky, channeling all his cultivation as he enunciated each word: “I, definitely, will, take, revenge! Xiao, Chenyu!!”
The howl echoed far and wide in the quiet northwest, reverberating throughout the vast expanse of the sky!
All the members of the Li family who heard it froze in place, stopping all their actions, standing solemnly in the snow, shedding silent tears.
Then Li Xiong Tu held his upright posture and looked at Chu Yang, slowly saying, “What about the women and children of the Li family? Are they also dead?”
“By a stroke of luck, they survived!” Chu Yang replied. “But this northwest is no longer the Li family's!”
Li Xiong Tu nodded and said, “I understand. Thank you!”
He then said, “Huan Huan, let’s go!”
Meng Huan Huan gracefully stood up, and Li Xiong Tu took the lead, turning to walk outside. After just taking two steps, his body suddenly shook, and he let out a “wow,” spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
The blood shot out like an arrow, creating a small hole in the ground!
“Li Xiong Tu!” Dong Wushang shouted sharply.
Li Xiong Tu and Meng Huan Huan stopped at the doorway but did not turn back.
Dong Wushang exuded a fierce aura, a turbulent flow of energy rushing towards Li Xiong Tu as he said in a deep voice, “You are too slow!”
Li Xiong Tu slowly turned his head, his equally sharp and domineering gaze meeting Dong Wushang's stare!
In Dong Wushang's eyes was filled with provocation, still ferocious!
“Thanks for the reminder!” Li Xiong Tu said in a deep voice. “I will catch up to you! I won’t keep you waiting long.”
After finishing his words, he turned and took steps, already determined as iron.
Chu Yang sighed and said, “Li Xiong Tu, this farewell may be for a long time, I don’t know when we will meet again, but before we part, I want to gift your wife something. If fate allows us to meet again in the future, you must repay me.”
With a wave of his hand, a purple jade bottle slowly flew out; Li Xiong Tu did not turn back, catching it with ease, and replied succinctly, “If I can ascend to Heaven's Gate in the future, I will definitely repay this kindness!”
Without saying anything more, his robust figure supported Meng Huan Huan, striding out!
Clearly, he understood what Chu Yang had given him. The most precious gift that the nine calamity sword master could give, and only the nine calamity sword master could give, was the ninefold pill.
Giving it to Meng Huan Huan was aimed at enhancing her aptitude, allowing her to accompany Li Xiong Tu on his martial path; directly aiming for Nine Heavens Pavilion! Otherwise, if Meng Huan Huan could not ascend, Li Xiong Tu would be entangled in emotional issues and would inevitably stagnate, indirectly losing the qualification to reach the peak.
Thus, this was a tremendous favor!
Li Xiong Tu also understood Dong Wushang's intentions, but he would not back down.
Revenge for Li Chunbo must be taken!
Dong Wushang's challenge must be answered!
The favor from Chu Yang must be repaid!
From beginning to end, Li Xiong Tu did not glance at Mo Tianji even once!
Watching Li Xiong Tu leave, Mo Tianji rubbed his nose and smiled bitterly, “He hates me, I’m afraid he hates me to the bone.”
“How could he not hate you!” Chu Yang rolled his eyes. “As long as you are aware.”
Mo Tianji shook his head and sighed, “Ah, what I did was bound to be hated; yet you, the nine calamity sword master, are quite adept at winning people’s hearts; all the good roles are claimed by you, how can I not play the villain? There must be someone to do the bad deeds, right?”
