    Chapter 790: Chapter 790: The Lü Family Admits Defeat (1st Update)


    Crack.


    This illustrious figure who had controlled Yuxu Pce for a thousand years, Xia Dingchan, withered away rapidly.


    In the blink of an eye, he transformed from a dignified middle-aged man into a decrepit old man teetering on the edge of death.


    As for Ling Ruoxu, he didn’t even withstand the process before being directly shaken into dust by the powerful force of karma.


    In the void, there wasplete silence.


    Within and outside Wandan City, the onlookers, whether they were elder Pill Masters from the Elixir Dao Association or cultivators from noble families and sects from the Guiyi regions, were all dumbstruck by the scene before them.


    Because it all happened too fast.


    Just a moment ago, Yuxu Pce was imposing, with fleets of ships arriving from the skies, ready to seek justice. Yet, in the blink of an eye, it was totally annihted.


    Even Xia Dingchan, known for his high cultivation level and brutal nature, was no match for this man.


    “This sword… is simply too terrifying! Even a Golden Immortal couldn’t possibly have such horrifying Sword Intent!” An awe-struck cultivator of the Sword Dao murmured to himself.


    As for the elder Pill Masters from the Elixir Dao Association, they trembled with excitement.


    Some even shed tears of joy.


    For so many years, despite its immense wealth, the Elixir Dao Association had been bullied by major powerful sects due to the absence of its own top-tier martial strength.


    Take Yuxu Pce, for instance. Although they maintained the necessary respect for the Elixir Dao Association on the surface, privately, they extorted tributes from the Association under various pretexts more than once.


    At that time, the top figure in the Association, Quenching Elixir Ancestor, exploited his own people in every possible way, but towards Yuxu Pce and the major sects, it could be said he was nearly grovelling, always eager to please.


    The other members of the Association had no choice but to suppress their frustration in silence.


    Even until moments before, these Pill Masters had hoped to smooth things over, trying their best to suppress the incident.


    But who could have imagined that Yuxu Pce, this mighty divine-ranked sect, would be eradicated by a single sword strike from the newly-appointed Elixir King?


    Now… the Elixir Dao Association was finally going to have its day.


    But if one were to say who was the most shocked of all, it had to be the members of the Lü Family.


    Lü Lie, trembling all over and ashen-faced, watched the scene in stunned silence.


    He had just been brimming with rage, ready to kill Xue An’ge to avenge the ancestors of the Lü Family and his own son.


    But after seeing Xue An’s earth-shattering sword strike, he suddenly realized how ignorant and ridiculous his thoughts had been.


    Because he knew he couldn’t have dodged that sword.


    Not only could he not dodge it, but there were probably also few in the Central Region who could.


    Hence, amidst his fear, Lü Lie also felt a trace of relief.


    Had he acted prematurely, could those who died have been himself and his people?


    Meanwhile, Lü Baiyue at his side was at a loss for words, merely staring nkly as her mind went nk.


    At that moment in midair, Xia Dingchan, gasping for hisst breath, expended his final bit of strength to ask, “Who exactly are you?”


    Xue An stood tall and proud, smiling lightly, “Me? I am Xue An!”


    Despair flickered in Xia Dingchan’s dim eyes.


    He couldn’t believe that this man was a mere nobody.


    Because the sword strike just now, as well as the Divine Skills he subsequently used, were already beyond Xia Dingchan’sprehension.


    Even Xia Dingchan felt that not even the heir of the Blood Web Mountain’s Yuan Sect could possess such formidable strength.


    That’s why he posed the question.


    But Xue An’s answer left him disappointed.


    Unwilling to ept this, but his rapidly aging body could no longer support him to speak any further.


    Therefore, he could only re at Xue An with hatred onest time, before gurgling sounds emanated from his throat.


    Finally, the light faded from his eyes, and his aged form crumbled into a pile of bones.


    He might have been the only Golden Immortal strongman in the Central Region to have died of old age.


    Even his divine soul failed to escape and perished along with him.


    Seeing this, everyone fell silent.


    At this moment, Xue An turned his head and looked at the Lü father and daughter, then cracked a slight smile.


    “I remember you just said that you wanted to kill me to avenge your Lü family ancestor? Since I still have some time now, why don’t you alle at once! It will save me the troubleter!”


    Upon hearing these words, the Lü family members subconsciously took several steps back.


    Even the group of elite guards lowered their heads at this time, not daring to meet Xue An’s gaze.


    This was the crushing pressure from a superior force.


    No reasoning, just crude and direct.


    As for Lu Lie, hisplexion was alternating between pale and flushed at the moment, and his eyes shed withplex lights, clearly his inner world was in turmoil.


    It was at this moment that Lü Baiyue, who was beside him, was the first to regain herposure. She then stepped forward and said in a deep voice, “Xue An, you are immensely powerful and our Lü family stands no chance against you. Let’s put the past behind us. We, the Lü family, admit defeat!”


    The crowd was shaken upon hearing this.


    But soon after, many elders from the noble families admired Lü Baiyue’s decision.


    Because under the current circumstances, Lü Baiyue’s decision was the most correct one.


    The ancestralnd was indeed important.


    Butpared to the survival of a family, it was much less significant.


    As for the deceased eldest son of the Lü family, he was even less worth mentioning.


    Naturally, Lu Lie understood this principle too.


    His hesitation and struggle just now were because he felt it was too humiliating to bow his head.


    So hearing his daughter speak, Lu Lie hesitated for a moment then let out a long sigh, and bowed his head without saying another word.


    Xue An watched quietly as Lü Baiyue and the Lü family members behind her.


    Wherever his gaze fell, no one dared to meet his eyes.


    Only Lü Baiyue, her face pale, still forced herself to look up at Xue An.


    Then Xue Anughed.


    “Admit defeat, huh? Heh, have you ever considered whether I would let your Lü family off the hook?”


    The Lü family members were all shaken at once.


    Lü Baiyue’s body trembled, but then she took a deep breath, steadied herself, and said, “Yes, it was our Lü family who offended Your Excellency just now. We will surely give you a satisfactory exnation for this matter! We only ask that you spare us!”


    After speaking, Lü Baiyue lifted her skirt and knelt down.


    Seeing her kneel, those guards of the Lü family also knelt down.


    Only Lu Lie stood there, but after a moment of struggle, he too slowly bent his knees and knelt to the ground.


    Xue An looked on, unmoved.


    A few elders from the Elixir Dao Association nced at each other, then stepped forward. “Excellency…”


    They wanted to plead on behalf of Lü Baiyue.


    After all, Lü Baiyue was a Profound Rank Pill Master of the Elixir Dao Association.


    And with Lü Baiyue’s poprity being quite good, many wanted to plead on her behalf.


    Xue An waved his hand, signaling them to remain silent.


    Then he nced at Lü Baiyue and spoke indifferently, “Didn’t you ask me earlier why I wanted to kill your brother Lü Jinglong?”


    “I’ll tell you now, he tried to seize what was mine and covet Yan’er, so I killed him a dozen times over! And your Lü family’s ancestral spirit kept favoring him, so I killed it along with him.”
