Chapter 173

Ten Thousand Saints Sea, Xia Family Islands, inside the main hall, the senior members of the Xia family all felt somewhat uneasy!

Li Zhangsheng has already gone to the Moling Ancient Clan for two days, and he still hasn't returned!!

No one knows how things turned out.

"Xuan Zhou, we might as well make plans early," Elder Ancestor Xia Mingyuan sighed and said, having in mind the idea of leading the entire Xia family to leave the Ten Thousand Saints Sea!

You should know, the Moling Ancient Clan is undoubtedly the hegemon-level power of this region, boasting numerous peak Dao Sovereign Realm experts holding the fort!

Although Li Zhangsheng is a Dao Sovereign Realm cultivator, even arguably a high-level Dao Sovereign, trying to persuade the Moling Ancient Clan to let this matter rest is probably unrealistic!

After all, he killed the son of the Moling Ancient Clan's patriarch; with their modus operandi, how could they possibly let it go!!

Moreover, from the way Li Zhangsheng appeared when heading to the Moling Ancient Clan, he didn't seem to be going to persuade, but rather looked like he was going to cause trouble!

Although Li Zhangsheng told them not to worry and not to leave the Ten Thousand Saints Sea!

However, after all, they have offended the Moling Ancient Clan; they are somewhat uncertain, feeling anxious, afraid that if they delay leaving, once the Moling Ancient Clan's people come knocking, the Xia family could face extermination!!

"Let's wait for the senior to return before speaking," Xuan Zhou also let out a long sigh.

He saying he's not worried is a lie; after all, the Moling Ancient Clan's young master died in Xia family territory, and the cause of death is closely tied to the Xia family. Although the one who killed Mo Qin was Li Zhangsheng, not a Xia family member, the Xia family cannot possibly disentangle themselves from this matter!!

However, Xuan Zhou secretly had a hunch; he didn't know why, but he felt Li Zhangsheng could settle this matter!!

Swish!

At that moment, a white-clad figure descended onto the air above the Xia family's main island; it was Li Zhangsheng.

"The senior has returned," upon sensing Li Zhangsheng's presence, Xuan Zhou and the others' faces lit up with delighted smiles.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...

Several people immediately flashed out to greet Li Zhangsheng.

"Li Zhangsheng, you're back, are you alright?" Xia Yu rushed to Li Zhangsheng's side, checking him up and down, seeing if Li Zhangsheng had time, asking with some concern.

To be honest, these past two days Li Zhangsheng went alone to the Moling Ancient Clan, and Xia Yu felt moved and worried, after all Li Zhangsheng went alone for her sake; this kindness, Xia Yu keeps in her heart.

"Nothing much," Li Zhangsheng said with a carefree smile.

"Senior, how did things go, the Moling Ancient Clan..." Xuan Zhou looked at Li Zhangsheng, wanting to speak but stopping; Li Zhangsheng killed Mo Qin and then went alone to the Moling Ancient Clan—this courage is unmatched!

However, given the Moling Ancient Clan's overbearing conduct, Li Zhangsheng actually came back unharmed; to be honest, Xuan Zhou and the others were still quite surprised!!

"Rest assured, the Moling Ancient Clan will no longer come looking for your Xia family," Li Zhangsheng said.

He didn't reveal that he himself had annihilated the Moling Ancient Clan; there was no need, anyway the Moling Ancient Clan had already been destroyed, and Li Zhangsheng could be considered to have seen the Buddha off to the west.

"Many thanks for your help, senior; your kindness, the Xia family will never forget. In the future, if the senior ever needs the Xia family's aid, just speak up—we will go through fire and water without hesitation!" Led by Xuan Zhou, the Xia family members clasped their fists toward Li Zhangsheng; everyone felt grateful.

Although we don't know how Li Zhangsheng settled this matter, since he said the Moling Ancient Clan won't come looking for trouble, that's enough; after all, given his strength, he wouldn't deceive them, nor is there any need to!!

"No need for formalities," Li Zhangsheng waved his hand, looking at Xia Yu, "I said before, because Xia Yu is my friend, I helped her—nothing more."

Xia Yu felt moved inside, her voice somewhat choked: "Thank you, Li Zhangsheng; if it weren't for you, I..."

"Friends don't need to say such things," Li Zhangsheng smiled, "After this matter is settled, I should also be on my way."

While speaking, Li Zhangsheng looked at Huyan Que mingled among the Xia family crowd, "Huyan Que, from now on you can stay with the Xia family, or go wherever you wish; you don't need to follow me."

"Ah? Master, you're not taking me with you?" Huyan Que's face obviously showed some disappointment.

"I still prefer to travel alone," Li Zhangsheng said with a smile.

Originally, Li Zhangsheng kept Huyan Que by his side because he had just arrived at the Yuan Zhi Sheng Tu, being new there, he wanted Huyan Que to show him around the Yuan Zhi Sheng Tu.

But now it seems unnecessary, so let him go wherever he wants.

"I'm leaving, you don't need to see me off." After Li Zhangsheng finished speaking, his figure flashed and vanished from the spot; he was heading to the Canglan Holy Land to find the Canglan Realm Lord, to see if through the Canglan Realm Lord he could locate the three people who captured Mu Xuan Yi, for his origin at the Yuan Zhi Sheng Tu was precisely to find Mu Xuan Yi.

Xia Yu gazed at the place where Li Zhangsheng disappeared, feeling reluctant to part!

Xuan Zhou and the others were slightly stunned; they hadn't expected Li Zhangsheng to leave so decisively; they had originally wanted to set up a banquet to properly thank Li Zhangsheng.

Xuan Zhou shook his head with a smile, then looked toward Huyan Que, "Huyan Brother, will you stay with the Xia family or..."

Huyan Que smiled and said: "Anyway, I don't know where to go, so I'll just stay here; I hope the Xia clan chief can take me in!"

The Xia family, after all, is a Dao Lord Realm lineage; staying in the Xia family also grants its protection, which is far better than Huyan Que previously wandering alone; at least he has a backing, after all Huyan Que's strength in the Yuan Zhi Sheng Tu is merely the lowest.

"Most welcome," Xuan Zhou smiled, saying that although Huyan Que is Li Zhangsheng's servant, Li Zhangsheng did the Xia family such a great favor, Xuan Zhou ought to treat Huyan Que well.

"Thank you, clan chief," Huyan Que clasped his fists toward Xuan Zhou.

……

A few days later, a piece of news directly shocked the entire Xia family up and down!

"What did you say?" Inside the Xia family's main hall, Xuan Zhou suddenly stood up, looking at the clansman reporting the news, shocked beyond words, "You say the Moling Ancient Clan was annihilated, just a few days ago?!"

"Yes, clan chief; outside now it's in an uproar, several major powers have gone to the Moling Ancient Clan's territory to check the situation." The clansman delivering the news voice trembled, "I heard the Moling Ancient Clan's annihilation occurred exactly during those two days when the senior went to the Moling Ancient Clan."

"Good heavens!!" Xuan Zhou was startled, his heart pounding, he took a deep breath, trying to calm himself!!

Even if Xuan Zhou were stupider, he could guess who destroyed the Moling Ancient Clan!!

No wonder that Senior Li Zhangsheng confidently said the Moling Ancient Clan wouldn't come bother the Xia family anymore; originally Xuan Zhou was curious how Senior Li Zhangsheng managed to make the Moling Ancient Clan set aside past grudges and not bother the Xia family!

Turns out he annihilated the Moling Ancient Clan!

"Really... I didn't expect that!" Xuan Zhou took another deep breath.

Being able to annihilate the Moling Ancient Clan, what realm exactly is Senior Li Zhangsheng?

Probably only... Dao Emperor!

Dao Emperor Realm!!

Such a god-like figure!

Never imagined that their tiny Xia family would actually have a Dao Emperor deign to descend, and moreover casually help the Xia family—what merit do they have?!
