Chapter 581

"You..." Song Shixian's pupils shrank, and he could not help but show hatred in his eyes.

Song Wenshan and Song Shizhao had not met with an accident, but were killed by Xu Yang?

The next moment, he reacted. With Xu Yang's talent, Song Shizhao and the others going to kill Xu Yang was simply seeking death.

"My Song family does not distinguish between right and wrong; we deserve this retribution." Song Shixian suppressed the hatred in his heart.

Revenge?

Now he was considering whether the Song family would be annihilated. Under the disaster of family annihilation, let alone the deaths of a few young lords, even if the clan leader died, it could be written off.

"Only now do you know you don't distinguish between right and wrong? It's too late. If you didn't know you couldn't afford to provoke me, would you bow your head?" Xu Yang snorted coldly.

Whether Song Shixian truly wanted to seek peace or was faking it, he could not let this matter be glossed over.

Moreover, with Song Shixian's injuries, even if he let Song Shixian go, Song Shixian would probably not live to return to the Song family.

From the moment Song Wenxuan was slaughtered by the Four Fiends of Fog Mountain, the outcome between him and the Song family had been one of life and death.

If he had not had some means, he would have already died.

"Song Wenxuan harmed the Song family!" Song Shixian's face was ashen.

He only hoped that after he met with misfortune, the clan leader could be alerted and let the Heavenly Origin ancestor Song Yushao kill Xu Yang at all costs before he broke through to Heavenly Origin. Otherwise, with Xu Yang's monstrous talent, once he broke through to the Heavenly Origin Realm, ancestor Song Yushao would be unable to keep him in check.

In fact, it was not Song Wenxuan who harmed the Song family, but he and Song Shirong.

After Song Wenxuan died, if the Song family had not sent people to kill Xu Yang, Xu Yang would not have sought trouble with the Song family.

The true enmity was Song Wenshan and the others going to the mine to kill Xu Yang, leaving no room for this matter to turn around.

"Bang!"

Xu Yang stepped down, and Song Shixian's last breath was completely cut off, becoming a corpse full of unwillingness.

He leaned down to loot the corpse; besides several thousand *taels* of silver notes, there was also a bottle of Profound Origin Qi-Transforming Pills.

He slashed out another blade *Qi*, blasting Song Shixian into pieces, then picked up the blade sheath that had fallen to the side and put away the Green Water Blade.

"Next, be careful of the Song family's Heavenly Origin expert." Xu Yang's face was solemn.

The Song family's Great Elder had personally made a move with a spiritual weapon and still could not kill him. If the Song family made another move, it would inevitably be a Heavenly Origin expert making a move.

Heavenly Origin martial artists were in a truly extraordinary realm. It was said that martial artists in this realm had a lifespan starting at two hundred years. No matter how strong his combat power was at the same level, it was impossible to fight a Heavenly Origin expert across levels.

Heavenly Origin!

It was a truly extraordinary realm, grasping the power of heaven and earth, with peerless might.

His strongest martial arts imagery was only basic to a Heavenly Origin expert, and his body, *Gang Qi*, and martial techniques could not be compared with those of a Heavenly Origin martial artist.

Facing a Heavenly Origin expert, he could be said to have no advantage at all. What he knew, the Heavenly Origin expert also knew; what he did not know, the Heavenly Origin expert also knew.

Returning to the previous place, he found Gao Lin still waiting anxiously, not having left.

"Senior Brother Gao!" Xu Yang walked over with a smile.

"Junior Brother Xu, it's great that you're okay."

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.

"This... this is that spiritual weapon. You killed him?" Gao Lin's scalp tingled, his eyeballs about to pop out, his heart churning with stormy waves.

He had thought Xu Yang had relied on peerless movement techniques to shake off the spiritual weapon's pursuit, never imagining that Xu Yang had slaughtered that person.

Although he looked a bit injured, compared to the feat of killing a martial artist holding a spiritual weapon, this was nothing at all.

A Marrow Cleansing Major Success martial artist holding a spiritual weapon was just killed by Xu Yang like this. How did he do it?

"This person had no brains, relying on the spiritual weapon in his hand and thinking he was invincible, blindly consuming *Gang Qi* until he was finally counter-killed by me." Xu Yang smiled.

Gao Lin did not doubt it. Aside from this situation, he really could not think of how Xu Yang could counter-kill a Marrow Cleansing Major Success martial artist holding a spiritual weapon.

Of course, this did not mean the matter was simple; without certain means, one could not hold out until the opponent's *Gang Qi* was exhausted.

"This person seemed to come for you, but did you ask his identity?" Gao Lin asked, his face full of killing intent.

If Xu Yang had not made a move in time just now, he would have died. This matter was not over.

Profound Heaven Sect disciples were not people anyone could kill, especially a Ten Elites genius. If the identity was known, the sect would definitely pursue it.

"It was the Song family's Great Elder, Song Shixian!" Xu Yang said in a deep voice.

Gao Lin suddenly realized, saying coldly: "It was actually the Song family. They are truly overbearing. Just because you didn't save the Song family's playboy, they used a spiritual weapon to kill you. What great prestige, what great killing intent.

I will report this matter to Master and let the Song family give you an explanation."

Although the Song family killed Xu Yang, a Ten Elites genius, he also knew the intricate relationship between the Song family and the Profound Heaven Sect.

The Song family's original ancestor was the Peak Master of Beast King Peak. It was said he did not die of old age but died fighting for the Profound Heaven Sect. Furthermore, the Song family had always had disciples joining the Profound Heaven Sect to serve, and they had good relationships with the current high-level members of the Profound Heaven Sect.

Under various circumstances, the Profound Heaven Sect might pursue this matter with the Song family, but it would not go so far as to directly annihilate the Song family.

Even if Departing Fire Peak had this idea, Heavenly Pivot Peak and Beast King Peak would protect the Song family. This was not only because of old feelings but also because they were worried about chilling the hearts of other families.

The most important point was that the current high-level members of the Profound Heaven Sect also had families. They did not want their own families to be annihilated by the Profound Heaven Sect one day after they died. Such a precedent could not be set.

So he only said to let the Song family give an explanation, not saying to let the Profound Heaven Sect annihilate the Song family.

"Explanation?"

Xu Yang shook his head: "I don't need an explanation. Please keep this matter secret for me, Senior Brother."

Gao Lin was stunned upon hearing this, and the next moment he reacted: "Is Junior Brother Xu worried about being retaliated against by the Song family's Heavenly Origin expert?"

He was not a fool and quickly figured out the reason Xu Yang wanted to keep it secret.

Xu Yang was at Marrow Cleansing Major Success at this time and had counter-killed the Song family's Great Elder who was holding a spiritual weapon. As long as the Song family's Heavenly Origin expert still had a brain, he would not give Xu Yang a chance to grow up and take revenge.

So as long as the Profound Heaven Sect did not directly annihilate the Song family, reporting this matter to the sect would, on the contrary, not bring much benefit to Xu Yang.

Because in this matter, there was another important figure—Heavenly Pivot Peak Elder Liu Qingyuan.

The Song family might not have the means to deal with Xu Yang, but Liu Qingyuan, as a Heavenly Pivot Peak Elder, had many opportunities to get Xu Yang out of the Profound Heaven Sect for the Song family's experts to kill.

Although there was Elder Huoyun's guarantee, Xu Yang clearly did not trust Elder Huoyun much; otherwise, he should have told Elder Huoyun about the Marrow Cleansing Major Success matter long ago.

"This is not a way either. Why not report it to Master and increase Master's importance of you." Gao Lin frowned.

Choosing not to report it was gambling that the Song family would not suspect that Xu Yang had counter-killed Song Shixian. Although this possibility was very high, the Song family was not 100% without suspicion.

If there was even a little suspicion, Xu Yang would be truly in danger.

Reporting it directly, although the matter would be made public, would increase Elder Huoyun and Departing Fire Peak's importance of Xu Yang. He would be safer, and Liu Qingyuan and the Song family would have to consider the consequences before making a move.

"Senior Brother just needs to help me keep it secret!" Xu Yang shook his head.

He would not hand his life over to others. His strength being exposed would indeed cause Elder Huoyun and Departing Fire Peak to attach importance to him, but what use would it be? A dead genius was not a genius.

The Song family killed him regardless of everything, then paid the price in compensation, and Liu Qingyuan and others mediated in between. Who would still annihilate the descendants of a former Peak Master for a dead person?

I annihilate others' descendants, and in the future, someone will annihilate my descendants. No one wants to do such a thing.

Seeing Xu Yang insist, Gao Lin had to nod in agreement, while reminding: "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 ascended the Dragon twice and married their direct daughter to the other party, helping him enter the Heavenly Strategy Academy.

When you enter the Heavenly Strategy Academy in the future, remember to guard against this person."

Xu Yang frowned slightly, saying: "What is this person's talent like?"

Being able to ascend the Dragon twice, the other party's talent must not be weak. Plus the three-year time gap, by the time he entered the Heavenly Strategy Academy, the other party's cultivation would definitely be much higher than his.

"This person is named Han Yingjie, the number one of the previous Ten Elites. Three years ago, he was the only disciple of the Profound Heaven Sect to enter the Heavenly Strategy Academy. His talent is very frightening, and his performance after entering was even more stunning than people like Jiang Fan and Li Chuyang."

"Thank you for telling me, Senior Brother Gao!"

Han Yingjie!

Xu Yang carefully remembered this name.

A day later, he carried the spiritual weapon wrapped in cloth and returned to the Profound Heaven Sect with Gao Lin.

The two went directly to the Mission Hall and informed the Mission Hall of what had happened along the way, omitting the matter of Song Shixian's interception and killing.

The matter soon caused a sensation in the Mission Hall. One had to know that there were a full eight people who went to Camel Peak together, six of whom were at Marrow Cleansing Major Success cultivation. Now, only Xu Yang and Gao Lin had returned.

Added to the previous Zhang brothers, the disciples transporting ore, and the disciples guarding the Camel Peak mine, in this incident, the number of Profound Heaven Sect disciples who died at Marrow Cleansing Major Success cultivation alone exceeded ten. Even though the Profound Heaven Sect had a large family and a big business, it was a very heavy loss. ===== CHAPTER 582 =====
