ht be waiting for that silver glow.Suddenly, a scream echoed through the air. Lu Xia Tian strained his ears and looked in the direction of the scream. At that moment, Old Hu was already decapitated. H..."Jing Li, Hu Li, the two of you stay with me to hold this puppet back. Zhan Min, you take that little girl and hand her over to the Lord for disposal!" The leading young maid had just given the order when she realized this Ox-Head Giant puppet was incredibly powerful. If the four of them fought head-on, they probably wouldn't even be able to win together. After all, they were merely Xiang Yuze's playthings, and their own strength wasn't particularly high. If it weren't for the fact that this little girl, Yu Xiao Qiao, didn't have very high mastery over controlling the puppet, she would have been hurt as soon as the fight began.

Although he was a Jindan cultivator, he realized that he couldn't defeat the puppet and immediately thought of Yu Xiaoqiao as a weak point. Compared to the incredibly powerful ninth-grade puppet, Yu Xiaoqiao, a Qi refining junior, was undoubtedly very fragile in the eyes of several people. As long as they captured Yu Xiaoqiao, this Niu Shou giant puppet would naturally lose its threat.

Then hand this woman over to King Ze. Perhaps, if King Ze is pleased, he will take Fish Xiaoqiao and bestow this ninth-rank puppet upon one of them.

"Yi Ping truly understands my heart. Once I obtain this woman, her spiritual creature will be divided among the lot of you." Xiang Yu Ze cat-and-mouse played with Yu Ya while gleefully laughing loudly.

"Thank you, Master," the four maids exclaimed with delight.

Just as several people were overjoyed, Yu Xiaoqiao solemnly offered a talisman. Within the talisman, a wisp of sword energy fluctuated unpredictably.

Sword Talisman, Activate!

>

Yu Xiaqiao let out a sharp cry, the spiritual talisman, no more than a few inches long, suddenly burst with radiance, transforming into a white light. Within it, a graceful and agile sword intent gently slashed towards the female maid. At this moment, not only was the maid named Zhan Min frightened, but even the others paled with fear under this sword intent. Their bodies trembled; the attack of a Yuan Ying-level expert was something these four Golden Core maids could not withstand.

Whoosh.... A flash of sword intent streaked through the air, two screams erupted, Zhan Min and Hu Li, who were closer to each other, were directly bisected by this sword intent without any resistance. Amidst the screams, a large amount of blood splattered from the sky.

"Eh" This sword intent was activated too quickly. Even Xiang Yuze, who had fought with Yu Yaoyou before, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Of course, he wasn't surprised by the death of the two maidservants. In fact, he didn't know how many times these four had died. With his status and identity, even if all four died, he could replace them again the next day.

What truly surprised him was the sword intent contained within the talisman. It even gave him a sense of being threatened. The person who sealed the sword intent within the talisman must have extraordinary skill. To entrust the talisman to a woman who had only reached the Foundation Establishment stage, it showed that this person held great regard for Yu Xiaoqiao.

With a wave of his hand, Ze Wang swung a pitch-black wooden staff through the air, shattering the sword intent. While this sword intent was formidable, it posed no threat to Xiang Yuze, a cultivator at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

"Ze Wang, you must also be able to see that this woman's elders are extraordinary in skill. I have met this person before, and her methods are absolutely above yours. If you don't want to cause trouble for yourself, it's best not to target her." Yu Ya saw the change in Xiang Yuze's face and knowing she was no match for him, she spoke up to warn him, trying to make Xiang Yuze back down.

“Oh You've met this person before Tell me about him, who is he” Xiang Yuze didn't seem to care, his eyes twinkling.

A hermit, even Lord Ze wouldn't know his story. Yu Ya wouldn't reveal Lu Xia Tian's background, but she herself didn't know where he came from. She searched her knowledge and hadn't heard of such a person in the nearby several major cultivation countries. Even if she said it, others probably wouldn't believe it.

"Haha, just an imaginary person! Even if there was such a person, he's a nobody. What does this king have to fear from someone unknown" Xiang Yuze laughed loudly. Although there were many infant cultivators in the Xiang nation, he had a general idea of their strengths. Since the other party didn't even dare to give his name, he was probably not very powerful. Besides, Xiang Yuze was at the mid-stage of the Infant Soul realm, and he wasn't afraid of ordinary people. Although Yu Xiaqiao looked somewhat immature, she had a water-like agility and a pure and flawless aura that he couldn't find in any other woman."

Besides, this woman killed my concubine. It's not as simple as just letting her go. I shall first bring her back to the palace and discipline her. When her relatives come looking for her, there will be nothing they can say.

“Madam Ya, this king’s patience has worn thin. If you wish to save this woman, come as a guest to my palace later.”

Having said that, Xiang Yuze extended a hand towards Yu Xiaoqiao as if reaching for something invisible. He naturally had his own reasons. Although Yu Ya was also a rare beauty, he found himself itching with desire when he looked at her. However, the other party was no ordinary woman; she was the county princess and a Yuan Ying cultivator. If he were to forcibly take her to Ze Wangfu, it would surely cause a stir and attract considerable trouble. Of course, if he took Yu Xiaoqiao instead, Yu Ya might very well come to Ze Wangfu on her own accord, which would lead to an entirely different outcome.

"You're bold, Xiang Yuze. You will regret this someday. Xiao Qiao, Xiang Hua, the two of you, leave quickly!" Yu Ya immediately understood Xiang Yuhang's plan. With a flash of her figure, she stood in front of Xiang Yuhang.

However, Xiang Yu's black crystal staff swung through the void with a mighty force, whistling wind echoing its power as it surged forward like a mountain. Yu Ya had no choice but to desperately block it. Under the pressure of his suppressed realm, even trying to defend felt impossible.

“Lady Ya, you can’t stop me.” Xiang Yuze let out a long laugh, grabbed the void again, and was about to pull Fish Xiaoqiao over. As for Xiang Hua, that little punk, he wasn't even worth considering.

Yu Xiaoqiao's face changed, she turned around and wanted to run, but the difference in strength between the two was more than a thousand miles. She was just a Qi Refining cultivator, wanting to escape from the hands of a Nascent Soul ancestor. If this got out, people would laugh at her.

As soon as that phantom hand reached out, a loud crack echoed through the air. A thick bolt of lightning tore through space and shattered the phantom hand.

"Uncle Huzi!" Yu Xia Qiao exclaimed in surprise, but the smile on her face quickly faded. She then shook her head and said, "No, you're not my Uncle Huzi."

The person who just made a move was the man who had passed by earlier, lost his right arm, and had a disheveled beard. He held a purple-black spear in his hand, hunched over, looking extremely weak. However, his eyes were extremely sharp.

"Little girl, isn't your Uncle Huzi also a man who lost his right arm With silver hair" The disheveled man with a long beard held a gun in one hand, standing between Yu Xia Qiao and Xiang Yuhang, shielding them behind him.

"How did you know" Yu Xia Qiao blurted out. "Do you know my Uncle Huzi"

"Uncle Hu" The man with the disheveled beard twitched the corner of his mouth, his eyes flickered with a mixture of emotions, but the joy within was undeniable. Fortunately, after so many years, he finally received news from Brother Lu. Brother Lu was still alive!

This unkempt one-armed man was actually Luo Qian. Originally, he didn't intend to get involved in this muddy water. There were too many injustices in the world, and he couldn't possibly deal with them all. He just happened to pass by here and saw Yu Xia Qiao sacrificing the Oxhead Giant puppet. This puppet had been used by Lu Xiaotian before, even when he was still in the Golden Core period. During the battles between several major cultivation realms like Looking at the Moon, Nanhua, and Tianqiong, Luo Qian controlled this puppet to guard Lingxiao Palace's mountain gate for a while. So Luo Qian was all too familiar with this Oxhead Giant puppet.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

(Sānqī Chinese)en get to Lu Xiaoteng, he would be crushed by the pagoda himself."Roar!" The Kūyārōki, King of the Cave Apes, pounded his chest with a hand as thick as a tree trunk. His eyes blazed with madness, and...
