Chapter 75: Thanks for the invitation, just arrived in Heijiao Yu, I

Xiao Li slowly opened his eyes, a strand of blood‑red light flashed, and his whole aura surged another level.

Seven‑Star Fighting Spirit

After a month, Xiao Li broke through again, left the underground world, and arrived atop the main hall.

(Current time: about two years and four months until Xiao Yan reaches adulthood.)

"Send for all the Fighting King‑level elders and Fu Ziyi, Liu Hongxia, come here."

"Yes."

Soon, Chen Long, Su Mei and others entered the hall; now the Thunder Sect could be said to be at its zenith, Yin Gu Lao and the others were glad they had joined the Thunder Sect, whose business now far exceeds what they had before.

Leaning against a big tree for shade, Yin Gu Lao and Su Mei have earned quite a bit these days; at least the new industries of the Thunder Sect will share some profit with them.

Looking at the seven Fighting Kings on stage, Xiao Li was quite satisfied, "Everyone, you've rested enough, it's time for a new action."

Hearing this, the crowd reacted differently; Tie Wu, who is combative, though his strength is mid‑range among the elders, is the most quarrelsome. It is said he has just broken through to a three‑star Fighting King, and now this is a chance for him to show his worth.

"Sect Master, what is it? Assign it to me, I'll handle it beautifully!"

Xiao Li chuckled, then in a serious tone said, "I heard that in Heijiao Yu there is a Feng City, whose city lord Han Feng is a Fifth‑grade Alchemist; is this true?"

Su Mei nodded, "Indeed, Han Feng hasn't been in Heijiao Yu long, but with the power of a Fighting Emperor and his alchemy, he has many followers. Are you looking to recruit him, Sect Master?"

Xiao Li shook his head, "No, my goal is to kill him."

The crowd gasped; Yin Gu Lao was the first to advise, "Sect Master, we cannot; Han Feng has extensive connections and is a Two‑star Fighting Emperor. If the seniors of our Thunder Sect don't act, we alone are unlikely to…"

Everyone was startled; only Chen Long raised an eyebrow, "That can't be what the Sect Master means; Han Feng's territory is far from ours, we have no relation. Could this be an order from a senior in seclusion?"

Chen Long's words clearly reminded the others; Xiao Li gave a non‑committal smile, saying that indeed because of Yao Lao, he would act against Han Feng.

Of course, there is another main reason: Han Feng possesses exotic fire; killing a future opponent and taking that fire is a great boon.

"Indeed, besides Elder Chen Long, the other elders may not know—we have a Six‑grade Alchemist in the Thunder Sect."

"Six‑grade!"

"I feel like a good kid whose parents told him the family is actually rich."

Su Mei and the others gasped, their excitement almost uncontrollable; a Fighting Sect strongman plus a Six‑grade Alchemist makes the Thunder Sect the strongest force in Heijiao Yu.

Thinking of this, Su Mei and the others were about to ask, when Xiao Li continued, "This senior holds a grudge against Han Feng; we didn't expect him to come to Heijiao Yu either. Unfortunately, the senior is about to break through, so he cannot act immediately, but fears unforeseen changes, so he entrusted us to act."

After a pause, Xiao Li added, "If we bring back Han Feng's corpse, each elder who earns merit will receive one Dou Ling Pill."

Su Mei and the others held their breath, Dou Ling Pill!

Dou Ling Pill: it can cause a Fighting King‑level strongman who takes it to instantly increase one star level!

However, it has extremely high resistance; a Fighting King can only take one Dou Ling Pill in a lifetime.

Even so, it can make all Fighting King strongmen flock to it; for example, Su Mei, once she breaks through again, will become an Eight‑star Fighting King, swallow the Dou Ling Pill, and instantly reach the pinnacle of Fighting King, just one step away from a Fighting Emperor.

Watching the audience's fighting spirit ignite, Xiao Li smiled, "Sorry, Yao Lao, more business again, but like the Purple‑Clear Spirit Vine, Han Feng's life is a condition Yao Lao would never refuse."

Fu Ziyi and his companion exchanged glances; they will soon break through to Fighting King rank, and they also want the Dou Ling Pill.

"Sect Master, give us a few days; we can send someone from our family to help." Liu Hongxia said immediately.

Both Fu Ziyi and Liu Hongxia have some backing, and one reason they joined the Thunder Sect is the existence of a Six‑grade Alchemist; if they can hitch a ride on this opportunity, they'll make it big.

"Fine, in ten days we'll dispatch troops to Feng City!"

Xiao Li set the time and returned to the underground for cultivation.

…Meanwhile, Xiao Yan, who had just wiped out the Mo family and was preparing to hide in Heijiao Yu, felt a bit helpless.

"Master, I really can't bring myself to do it."

Yao Lao was a bit displeased, "Foolish disciple, have you forgotten how your second brother taught you? Cutting the grass without removing the root leads to endless trouble!"

"But Master, you made me slap even the passing dogs twice; they're innocent!" Xiao Yan was speechless.

"Alright, that's enough, hurry up, we're almost at Heijiao Yu." Yao Lao waved his hand.

Looking at the black ground ahead, Xiao Yan's confidence surged; his second brother made a name here, he can too!

"My god, that Thunder Sect Sect Master Xiao Li is so strong, occupying the northwest alone, and he's still so young—truly a prodigy!"

By chance, hearing a passerby's talk, Xiao Yan was startled, "Xiao Li, my second brother?"

Xiao Yan quickly perked up his ears.

"Yeah, yeah, I heard when he strikes, a gale roars and red lightning fills the sky!"

Red lightning, gale roaring, Xiao Yan's face froze, thinking maybe it really is his brother; how did he come to dominate the northwest?

Xiao Yan stopped in his tracks; the merchant caravan beside him thought he wanted to join, but after observing, they realized the Xiao Yan who has already broken through to Great Dou Master is clearly worth recruiting.

"Kid, want to join our caravan? Two thousand gold coins a day."

Xiao Yan waved his hand, two thousand gold coins?

Stop joking, his second brother is now the northwest boss; does he need two thousand gold coins?

Thanks for the invitation, just entered Heijiao Yu and already became a pampered second‑generation rich kid.

Yao Lao also heard this, and transmitted through his ring, "I knew your second brother wasn't ordinary, didn't expect him to develop so fast. Let's go to the Thunder Sect's base to investigate; it's probably your second brother."

Yao Lao also heard these words and sent a voice transmission from the ring: "I knew your second brother wasn't an ordinary person; I didn't expect him to develop this quickly. Come on, let's go to the Thunder Sect's stronghold to inquire— that very well might be your second brother."

"Enroll? If it's really your second brother, you still lack Canaan Academy's resources? Wait until you're stronger, then join; the Falling Heart Flame still needs to be obtained, now go recognize relatives first!" Yao Lao said bitterly.

It's now on the shelf, thanks to all the big‑shots for the first purchase.
