Under the disaster of clan extermination, let alone a few young masters, even if the clan leader died, it could all be written off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only now do you know you couldn't distinguish right from wrong? It's too late. If you didn't know you couldn't afford to provoke me, would you have bowed your head?\" Xu Yang snorted coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether Song Shixian truly wanted to seek peace or was faking it, he couldn't let this matter be brushed aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, given Song Shixian’s injuries, even if he let him go, Song Shixian likely wouldn't live long enough to return to the Song family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment Song Wenxuan was killed by the Wushan Four Fiends, the outcome between him and the Song family had been one of life and death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he hadn't had some tricks up his sleeve, he would have already been dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Song Wenxuan has harmed the Song family!\" Song Shixian’s face was ashen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only hoped that after he met his end, the clan leader would be alerted and have the Heaven Origin ancestor Song Yushao kill Xu Yang at any cost before he broke through to the Heaven Origin realm. Otherwise, with Xu Yang’s monstrous talent, once he broke through to the Heaven Origin realm, ancestor Song Yushao wouldn't be able to keep him in check.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, it wasn't Song Wenxuan who had harmed the Song family, but he and Song Shirong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Song Wenxuan died, if the Song family hadn't sent people to kill Xu Yang, Xu Yang wouldn't have troubled the Song family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What truly forged the enmity was Song Wenshan and the others going to the mine to kill Xu Yang, leaving no room for turning back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang stepped down, and Song Shixian’s last breath was completely cut off, becoming a corpse full of unwillingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned down to loot the body, finding several thousand taels of silver notes and a bottle of Profound Origin Qi-Transforming Pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slashed out another wave of blade qi, blasting Song Shixian into pieces, before picking up the blade sheath that had fallen to the side and putting away the Green Water Blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next, be careful of the Song family’s Heaven Origin expert.\" Xu Yang’s expression was grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Song family’s Great Elder had personally taken action with a Spirit Weapon and still couldn't kill him. If the Song family made another move, it would inevitably be a Heaven Origin expert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Heaven Origin martial artist was a realm that truly transcended the mundane. It was said that martial artists in this realm started with a lifespan of two hundred years. No matter how strong his combat power was at the same level, it was impossible to fight across levels against a Heaven Origin expert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven Origin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A realm that truly transcended the mundane, wielding the power of heaven and earth, with unmatched might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His strongest Martial Dao Imagery was just the foundation for a Heaven Origin expert, and his body, battle qi, and martial techniques could not be compared to those of a Heaven Origin martial artist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing a Heaven Origin expert, he could be said to have no advantage at all. What he knew, the Heaven Origin expert also knew; what he didn't know, the Heaven Origin expert also knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to the previous spot, he found Gao Lin still waiting anxiously, not having left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Brother Gao!\" Xu Yang walked over with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother Xu, it’s great that you’re alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xu Yang was fine, Gao Lin was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but the next moment, his eyes were fixed on the Green Water Blade in Xu Yang’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... this is that Spirit Weapon? You killed him?\" Gao Lin’s scalp tingled, his eyes nearly popping out, his heart churning like a stormy sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought Xu Yang had relied on supreme movement techniques to escape the Spirit Weapon’s pursuit, never imagining that Xu Yang had slaughtered the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he looked a bit injured, compared to the feat of killing a martial artist wielding a Spirit Weapon, this was nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Marrow Cleansing Great Completion martial artist wielding a Spirit Weapon had just been killed by Xu Yang. How had he done it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This man had no brains. Relying on the Spirit Weapon in his hand, he thought he was invincible, blindly consuming battle qi until he was finally counter-killed by me,\" Xu Yang laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Lin didn't doubt it. Other than this situation, he truly couldn't imagine how Xu Yang could have counter-killed a Marrow Cleansing Great Completion martial artist wielding a Spirit Weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this didn't mean the matter was simple; without certain means, one couldn't hold out until the opponent’s battle qi was exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This person seemed to be coming for you. Did you find out his identity?\" Gao Lin asked, his face full of killing intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Xu Yang hadn't acted in time just now, he would have been dead. This matter wasn't over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A disciple of the Purple Sun Sect wasn't someone anyone could kill, especially a Ten Great genius. If the identity were known, the sect would definitely pursue it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was the Song family’s Great Elder, Song Shixian!\" Xu Yang said in a deep voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Lin suddenly realized, saying coldly: \"It was actually the Song family. They really are overbearing. Just because you didn't save the Song family’s spoiled brat, they used a Spirit Weapon to kill you. What great prestige, what great killing intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will report this to Master and have the Song family give you an explanation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Song family had killed Xu Yang, a Ten Great genius, he also knew the intricate relationship between the Song family and the Purple Sun Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Song family’s original ancestor was the Peak Master of Beast King Peak. It was said he hadn't died of old age, but had died fighting for the Purple Sun Sect. Furthermore, the Song family had always had disciples joining the Purple Sun Sect to serve, and they had good relationships with the current high-level members of the Purple Sun Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under various circumstances, the Purple Sun Sect might pursue this matter with the Song family, but they wouldn't go so far as to directly wipe them out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Li Huo Peak had this idea, Heaven Authority Peak and Beast King Peak would protect the Song family. This was not only because of old ties, but also out of fear of chilling the hearts of other families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most important point was that the current high-level members of the Purple Sun Sect also had families. They didn't want their own families to be wiped out by the Purple Sun Sect one day after they died. Such a precedent could not be set.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he only said he would have the Song family give an explanation, not that he would have the Purple Sun Sect wipe them out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An explanation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang shook his head: \"I don't need an explanation. Please keep this a secret for me, Senior Brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Lin was stunned at these words, but the next moment he reacted: \"Is Junior Brother Xu worried about being retaliated against by the Song family’s Heaven Origin expert?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't stupid and quickly figured out the reason Xu Yang wanted to keep it a secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang was only at Marrow Cleansing Great Completion at this time and had already counter-killed the Song family’s Great Elder who was wielding a Spirit Weapon. As long as the Song family’s Heaven Origin expert had any brains, he wouldn't give Xu Yang a chance to grow up and take revenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, as long as the Purple Sun Sect didn't directly wipe out the Song family, reporting this matter to the sect would actually bring Xu Yang little benefit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because in this matter, there was another important figure—Heaven Authority Peak Elder Liu Qingyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Song family might not have the means to deal with Xu Yang, but Liu Qingyuan, as an Elder of Heaven Authority Peak, had many opportunities to get Xu Yang out of the Purple Sun Sect to be killed by Song family experts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had Elder Huoyun’s guarantee, Xu Yang clearly didn't trust Elder Huoyun much; otherwise, he should have told Elder Huoyun about his Marrow Cleansing Great Completion long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This isn't a solution either. Why not report it to Master to increase the importance Master places on you?\" Gao Lin frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Choosing not to report it was a gamble that the Song family wouldn't suspect Xu Yang had counter-killed Song Shixian. Although this possibility was high, the Song family wasn't one hundred percent certain not to suspect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there was even a shred of suspicion, Xu Yang would be in real danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reporting it directly, although the matter would become public, would increase the importance Elder Huoyun and Li Huo Peak placed on Xu Yang. He would be safer, and Liu Qingyuan and the Song family would have to consider the consequences before reaching out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Brother just needs to help me keep it a secret!\" Xu Yang shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wouldn't put his life in someone else’s hands. His strength being exposed would indeed attract the attention of Elder Huoyun and Li Huo Peak, but what use would that be? A dead genius was no longer a genius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Song family killed him at all costs and then paid the price in compensation, and Liu Qingyuan and the others maneuvered behind the scenes, who would still go to wipe out the descendants of a former Peak Master for a dead person?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I wipe out someone else’s descendants, someone will wipe out mine in the future. No one wants to do such a thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xu Yang’s insistence, Gao Lin had no choice but to nod in agreement, while reminding him: \"Junior Brother Xu, be careful. Although the Song family’s younger generation has no stunning talent, three years ago, the Song family successfully recruited a genius who had achieved the second Dragon Ascension and married their legitimate daughter to him, helping him enter the Heaven Strategy Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you enter the Heaven Strategy Academy in the future, remember to guard against this person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang frowned slightly and said: \"What is this person’s talent like?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being able to achieve the second Dragon Ascension meant the opponent’s talent was definitely not weak. Plus, with a three-year gap, by the time he entered the Heaven Strategy Academy, the opponent’s cultivation would definitely be much higher than his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This person is named Han Yingjie. He was the first of the previous Ten Great and the only disciple from the Purple Sun Sect to enter the Heaven Strategy Academy three years ago. His talent is terrifying, and his performance after entering was even more stunning than that of Jiang Fan, Li Chuyang, and the others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for telling me, Senior Brother Gao!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Yingjie!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang carefully noted this name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A day later, he carried the Spirit Weapon wrapped in cloth and returned to the Purple Sun Sect with Gao Lin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two went straight to the Mission Hall and informed them of what had happened along the way, omitting the part about Song Shixian’s interception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The matter quickly caused a sensation in the Mission Hall. One had to know that there had been eight people who went to Camel Peak together, six of whom were at Marrow Cleansing Great Completion. Now, only Xu Yang and Gao Lin had returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adding the Zhang brothers from before, the disciples transporting ore, and the disciples guarding the Camel Peak mine, in this incident, the Purple Sun Sect had lost over ten disciples at the Marrow Cleansing Great Completion level alone. Even with the Purple Sun Sect’s vast resources, this was a very heavy loss.\u003C\u002Fp>",2065,"2026-06-16T12:17:43.130Z","2026-06-16T12:23:15.380Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","bc39618e25fcb690e616579e9cf08c01ff18e8139e88147103b52586cc69fa14","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-357","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-355",410,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-cover.jpg"]
