Upon hearing such words from the young woman, Xia Liu's hand trembled slightly as he held his cup.

However, he composed himself with effort, remembering well the appearance of the young woman!

"Junior Sister Qin Li, you did well, my care hasn't been in vain."

Xiao Yuan gave a knowing smile, and hearing these words, his anger subsided a bit.

The other two young men poured him tea, flattering him immensely.

"Hehe, thank you, Senior Brother, for the praise. I'll work even harder in the future to make you even more satisfied!"

Qin Li felt incredibly sweet inside.

It was the first time her senior brother praised her in front of others.

"Little girl, you're so young and already have the fifteenth level of Qi Cultivation, yet you use such power to harm mortals. Let me advise you, cultivation is not easy, cherish it as you go."

Just as Qin Li was feeling pleased, an old woman with a cane climbed up from the stairs.

She was completely aware of their conversation.

And so, spoke up to remind them.

"Old hag! What do you mean?"

Seeing his junior sister being bullied, Xiao Yuan couldn't stand it, immediately drawing his sword and pointing it at the old woman.

"My granny means, by harming defenseless mortals, watch out for retribution!"

Spoke the girl accompanying the old woman.

She had an outstanding appearance and was finely dressed, likely to attract some male attention wherever she went.

Because her demeanor was very high, and her figure was excellent!

"Oh! I would like to see what kind of retribution there could be!"

Xiao Yuan's gaze roamed brazenly over the woman's entire body.

He wanted to use Divine Sense to see through everything about her.

But met with resistance, clearly this woman had treasures on her.

"Foolish one, should you dare to disrespect me again, beware your eyes getting shattered!"

The beautiful woman was not one to be trifled with either.

Xiao Yuan's every move was under her watchful gaze.

"Haha, you are truly breathtaking, why not join our Heaven-Destroying Sect and enjoy rich resources?"

Xiao Yuan was not angry either.

He couldn't bring himself to be angry with such a beautiful woman for the time being.

"Senior Brother! She's a vixen, be careful not to be bewitched!"

Seeing Xiao Yuan interested in the beautiful woman, Qin Li became anxious.

If this woman really entered the Heaven-Destroying Sect, she surely wouldn't be able to continue following Xiao Yuan.

No way!

Absolutely no way!

Kill her and all worries will end!

"Go die!"

With an angry shout, Qin Li was about to draw her sword, intending to kill the beautiful woman nearby.

Whoosh!

Just then, the sound of something breaking through the air was heard.

Qin Li's every action halted.

Then she saw Spiritual Energy continually surging out from her lower abdomen.

"Ah! My Spiritual Energy! My Dantian!"

With her Dantian damaged, her foundation gone, Qin Li screamed frantically.

"Noisy!"

One impatient voice, and another streak flew towards Qin Li.

In an instant, the weakened Qin Li fell to the ground.

Everything happened too quickly, it wasn't until Qin Li fell that Xiao Yuan and others reacted.

They shifted their gaze to the opposite table.

Over there sat a fine-featured man!

Xiao Yuan had always thought he was quite the handsome man himself.

But seeing the man sitting opposite, his heart and soul felt ashamed.

He quickly discarded distracting thoughts, then shouted angrily at Xia Liu, "You dare to kill a disciple of our Heaven-Destroying Sect!"

"Killing her would only dirty my hands."

With a simple remark, casually lifting his cup for tea, Xia Liu was so dashing and unrestrained.

Both the old woman and the beautiful woman couldn't help but glance over.

"Good! Very good! Let me bring your head back to honor my junior sister!"

Xiao Yuan lightly flicked his longsword, its shadow agile, his movement technique swift, in an instant he was in front of Xia Liu.

"Perish!"

With the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Late Stage exploding, Xiao Yuan's surroundings were filled with flying dust for three feet.

Within a mile, mortals and Low-Rank Cultivators felt unprecedented pressure.

However, facing this immense pressure, Xia Liu raised his hand, effortlessly pushing the sword Xiao Yuan was about to draw back into its scabbard.

On the other side, the Sword Finger swiftly condensed, pointing at Xiao Yuan's lower abdomen.

Boom!

Blood sprayed from Xiao Yuan's back, and then viscous Spiritual Power dispersed from it.

Mm-mm-mm!

Giving Xiao Yuan no chance to wail, Xia Liu inserted the bamboo cylinder holding chopsticks on the table into his mouth.

Seal!

The Secret Technique touched down on Xiao Yuan's forehead.

A desolate aura spread, the One Leaf Obscures the Eye Technique reappeared.

Xiao Yuan's Sea of Consciousness was immediately sealed.

After finishing all this, Xia Liu pushed Xiao Yuan onto another disciple of the Heaven-Destroying Sect.

"Take them and get out of the inn! Go back and tell your Sect Master, if I hear of Heaven-Destroying Sect disciples killing mortals for no reason again, I will show no mercy!"

Dominating!

Every action and word Xia Liu made was so smoothly imposing.

After coming to their senses, those two Qi Cultivation Stage disciples knelt in fear.

Instantly defeating Xiao Yuan, at least he was at the False Elixir Stage, perhaps even the Golden Core Stage.

They couldn't afford to provoke him, couldn't afford to offend him!

"Didn't understand my meaning? Leave quickly!" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Xia Liu said coldly.

"Yes! Yes!"

In their panic, they carried Qin Li and Xiao Yuan away, not daring to linger in front of Xia Liu for even a moment.

"Young man, you don't mind me sitting here, do you?"

After the two left the second floor, the old woman with the cane suddenly stepped forward.

Though she was asking Xia Liu's opinion, she was already sitting down, no matter if Xia Liu agreed or not.

"Senior is already seated, how could I refuse?"

Xia Liu said with a bitter smile.

He faintly sensed that this old woman had the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Stage!

Though her Energy Body seemed to have some hidden ailment, he couldn't tell what it was.

"Young Friend, I saw from outside the inn that you carry a righteous aura, and indeed your style of action suits it."

"Thanks for the praise, Senior. I guess I saved their lives, if you had acted, they probably wouldn't have survived."

"Haha, you're overthinking it. A bunch of ants passing by the foot, one wouldn't bother to step down."

The old woman's face carried a slight smile.

However, her words left Xia Liu with a bitter smile.

Indeed very domineering, with the demeanor of a strong person.

"Qingqing, don't be reserved, sit down."

"Junior Xia Liu greets Daoist Fellow Qingqing and Senior."

The reason Xia Liu revealed his name was to gauge the old woman's attitude.

If she was a cultivator of the Baichuan Realm, then what followed would concern life and death.

"Oh? Your name is Xia Liu?"

Qingqing exclaimed in surprise, then glanced at the announcement that could be seen everywhere.

"Carrying Twin Swords, name Xia Liu, cultivation unknown, could it be you..."

Seemingly discovering a secret, Qingqing hurriedly covered her mouth.

"Qingqing, don't be disrespectful to this Young Friend."

The old woman reprimanded.

"Yes, Granny."

"Young Friend Xia, I'm not a cultivator of the Baichuan Realm, so you needn't worry."

The old woman explained.

Xia Liu didn't respond, smiling it away.

"Actually, I'm quite curious, how did you come into conflict with the Sha Family, making them spare no expense to rally the whole realm to hunt you down?"

"It's a long story, would Senior like to hear it?"
