    Chapter 788: Chapter 788 Who Calls Xue An? (3rd Update)


    At the Elixir King’s grand ceremony, Xue An struck down Ling Ruoxu of the Yuxu Pce, the heir to their current era’s true teachings, turning him into pulp with a single palm strike.


    All observers were utterly terrified.


    Even the high-born daughters who had just misunderstood Xue An, thinking he “did not deserve to be called a man,” were now looking at him with infatuated gazes.


    Because the way Xue An crushed Ling Ruoxu with a single palm was too horrifying, that unaffected and nonchnt manner, it clearly represented that his strength was far superior to Ling Ruoxu’s.


    Yet, the elders of the Elixir Dao Association were all pale at this moment.


    They felt that they had now made an irreconcble enemy of the Yuxu Pce.


    After all, Ling Ruoxu was the true sessor of the present era of the Yuxu Pce.


    This also meant that he was very likely to be the next elder of the Yuxu Pce, if not the Sect Leader.


    Such a carefully nurtured talent was now killed by a single palm strike from Xue An.


    One could imagine how furious the Yuxu Pce would be upon learning of this.


    But just then, someone shouted in anger, “I didn’t expect it to be you!”


    The crowd was shaken and then looked towards the source of the voice.


    They saw Lu Lie, who had been sitting on the side and watching the situation unfold, now standing menacingly in mid-air, staring at Xue An with an extremely cold gaze.


    What was going on?


    Everyone was filled with surprise and confusion.


    They did not understand why the Lü Family Head, who had been calm just a moment ago, became so angry all of a sudden.


    Even Lü Baiyue waspletely puzzled, not understanding what her father was doing.


    At that moment, Lu Lie spoke with an extremely chilling voice, “Xue An, killing my eldest son, destroying my ancestralnds, all these deeds were your doing, right?”


    Upon hearing this sentence,


    everyone, including Lü Baiyue, couldn’t help but widen their eyes.


    The incidents that had urred within the Lü Family had already been wildly circted in the Central Region, and most people were aware of them.


    But who could have anticipated that these acts were perpetrated by this newly risen Elixir King?


    Several judges and elders could no longer afford to consider the affair involving the Yuxu Pce.


    The power of the Lü Family was by no means inferior to that of the Yuxu Pce; in fact, it was even greater.


    So, all of them said in utter astonishment, “Family Head Lü, such usations cannot be taken lightly as jokes. Besides, how can you be so certain that our Elixir King is responsible for these acts?”


    “Jokes?” Lu Lie shook his head and then, with gritted teeth, said, “I’m in no mood for jokes with you. As for how I know… Heh! Heaven has eyes. Originally, within the ancestralnds of the Lü Family, I found a remnant soul of an ancestor of the Lü Family, and mixed with that spirit was a breath of air!”


    “The first time Iid eyes on this Xue An, I felt something familiar, but because the breath was too faint, I didn’t recognize it immediately!”


    “But when he struck down Ling Ruoxu, I recognized that breath in an instant!”


    With these words, Lu Lie stared intensely at Xue An, and with a chillingly cold voice said, “Xue An, do you have anything to say for yourself?”


    Upon hearing Lu Lie’s interrogation, everyone’s gaze fell on Xue An, eager to see how he would respond.


    But just then,


    a glint of light suddenly emerged from the pool of blood and flesh on the ground, and with a speed faster than lightning, it soared into the sky and flew towards the heavens.


    “Not good! That is Ling Ruoxu’s spirit soul; he’s trying to escape to send a message!” an elder of the Alchemy Dao eximed in shock.


    “Send someone to stop him!” another elder yelled.


    Xue An, however, chuckled and said, “No need! Let him go and send the message.”


    “But…” Those people wanted to say more.


    Xue An no longer paid them any attention and instead turned his head to look at Lu Lie, whose face was filled with hatred, and said indifferently, “You’re right, the one who killed your eldest son, Lü Jinglong, and annihted the soul of your Lü Family’s ancestor was indeed me!”


    Hearing Xue An’s words, everyone was shocked.


    “His mastery of elixir arts astounds the heavens, and now he wields the true transmission that once extinguished Yuxu Pce. Furthermore, word has spread that it was also him who inflicted such a heavy loss on the Lü Family.”


    Just how many secrets does this man still hide?


    Lu Lie burst into an angryugh, “Good, very good. I’m d you dare to admit it!”


    As his words fell,


    the guards from the Lü Family who had followed him silently stepped forward, taking up positions behind Lu Lie, their eyes hungrily fixed on Xue An.


    One by one, their formidable auras locked onto Xue An firmly. At Lu Lie’smand, these guards would not hesitate to charge forward and tear him to pieces.


    “Today, I will avenge my ancestors and my son, Jinglong!”


    Having said this, Lu Lie stepped forward, ready to strike.


    Just then, Lü Baiyue suddenly shouted, “Father, don’t act yet!”


    Lu Lie paused, “Bai Yue, what…?”


    Lü Baiyue stepped forward, “Father, I have a few questions for this Xue An. It won’t be toote to act after I’ve asked them!”


    Lu Lie’s expression was as dark as water, but he silently moved aside.


    Lü Baiyue took a deep breath, then said solemnly, “Xue An, I only have one question for you. Why did you kill my elder brother, Lü Jinglong, and destroy our Lü family’s ancestral grounds? Who is really pulling the strings behind you?”


    Hearing Lü Baiyue’s question, Lu Lie was also visibly shocked, then he nodded to himself.


    After all, it was his second daughter who was meticulous. Had he acted recklessly in a fit of rage just now, he might have missed the real culprit.


    Xue Anughed, then shook his head.


    “No one instructed me. Killing Lü Jinglong and destroying your Lü family’s ancestors were merely actions I took at my convenience! As for why I did it… a minor character like that isn’t worth my exnation!”


    “You…,” Lü Baiyue was rendered speechless with anger.


    And Lu Lie could no longer restrain himself, he roared, “Attack, tear him to shreds!”


    Lu Lie’s personal guards were all elites among elites, each one incredibly strong.


    Moreover, they often trained together, proficient inbinedbat formations.


    Ordinary Golden Immortals wouldn’t dare lightly provoke their edge.


    So when Lu Lie gave the order, these guards surged forward in well-trained unison, ready to strike.


    But just at that moment, an angry shout came from outside, “Who is calling Xue An? Come out and face your death!”


    The voice thundered in like rolling thunder, intimidating everyone present.


    Clearly, the speaker was an exceptional powerhouse.


    Someone eximed, “That voice… it seems to be the Sect Leader of Yuxu Pce, Xia Dingchan!”


    Upon hearing this, the elders of the Elixir Dao Association and the onlookers all changed their expressions dramatically.


    Even Lu Lie and his daughter Lü Baiyue were visibly moved.


    Then Lü Baiyue whispered a few words in Lu Lie’s ear.


    Lu Lie pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.


    Xue An turned to An Yan with a smile, “Wife, watch how I ughter these fools!”


    After that, Xue An drained the wine in his ss, and with one step, he was instantly out in the open air above the Elixir Tower.


    The people in the great hall of the Elixir Tower followed shortly after him, pouring out and looking up.


    At this sight, many hearts sank.
