Chapter 1235

The middle-aged cultivator with the graceful demeanor looked at Ximen Wudi with a cold expression.

"The Gongsun family." Ximen Wudi's brow could not help but twitch; he had not expected this old man to have such a powerful backer.

The Gongsun family was a supporter of the Saint Dragon Empire Imperial Family, one of the four great emperors of the Saint Domain.

Therefore.

Even the Saint Dragon Empire Imperial Family could not completely suppress the Gongsun family; they could only ensure that the Gongsun family did not dare to act recklessly.

Gongsun Badao and Gongsun Hengyuan.

Were twin brothers, yet their personalities were poles apart; one was overbearing, the other was gloomy.

Gongsun Hengyuan's personality was relatively extreme, and his style of doing things was quite ruthless.

Gongsun Badao was relatively cautious and good at enduring; the conflict between the two was deepening, and there would be a moment when it would erupt sooner or later.

But the Gongsun family clearly wanted to win over Gongsun Badao to control the Gongsun family.

Ximen Wudi thought of a phrase: family power struggle.

Family power struggles were often accompanied by blood and slaughter.

The Gongsun family and the Saint Dragon Empire's imperial clan would inevitably engage in a game of chess.

Perhaps, it wouldn't be long.

Before there would be a battle between dragons and tigers.

At that time, Ximen Wudi could completely sit back and reap the benefits.

Thinking of this, Ximen Wudi decided to wait and see; he did not want to get involved in such disputes.

Ximen Wudi said, "Since it is people from your Gongsun family who want to kill me, I don't mind killing you all in turn. I wonder if you two can report your names?"

Ximen Wudi said with a smile, "You can choose not to say!"

As Ximen Wudi's voice fell, he instantly summoned the Stone Sword.

Swish.

A dazzling sword light slashed out, and that terrifying sword light slashed toward the leading middle-aged cultivator with the graceful demeanor.

This middle-aged cultivator with the graceful demeanor had a gloomy expression; he had not expected Ximen Wudi to dare to strike first.

And he did not dodge Ximen Wudi's fierce and peerless sword.

He directly waved his right hand.

Clang.

Sparks flew everywhere.

The iron mace in his hand blocked Ximen Wudi's sword.

That iron mace was a Saint-level treasure.

Its power was indeed not bad, worthy of being a treasure bestowed upon this person by Gongsun Hengyang.

Ximen Wudi said indifferently, "A mere Saint treasure? And you want to block my attack? Simply wishful thinking! Today you are dead for sure!"

A grim killing intent flickered in Ximen Wudi's eyes, then he channeled the Five-Fold Dragon Elephant Arm divine ability, and his right fist blasted toward the middle-aged man with the graceful demeanor.

Bang.

The two sides collided, and the middle-aged man with the graceful demeanor was instantly sent flying; he was severely injured.

Puchi, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

His face was filled with a look of horror, truly unable to believe that he had actually been defeated by this yellow-haired brat, Ximen Wudi.

"You... how is it possible."

This middle-aged cultivator with the graceful demeanor looked at Ximen Wudi in disbelief.

He simply could not understand.

Why would a brat who hadn't even broken through to the Quasi-Emperor realm be so heaven-defying?

"I said you are dead for sure, so you must be dead for sure!"

Ximen Wudi stepped toward the middle-aged cultivator with the graceful demeanor.

At this time, another group of cultivators pounced toward Ximen Wudi.

These people were all local rogue cultivators of the Saint Dragon Empire.

They had originally intended to take advantage of the chaotic situation to snatch the treasures and escape, but now Ximen Wudi's combat power was too terrifying; they couldn't get close to Ximen Wudi at all, so they had to join forces to besiege him.

Ximen Wudi unleashed the Heaven-Mending Technique.

Then, he turned into a stream of light and dashed toward that group of rogue cultivators, then.

He reached out and grabbed into the void.

Puchi.

The sound of tearing suddenly rang out, and the cultivator who had attempted to sneak attack Ximen Wudi had his skull crushed by Ximen Wudi.

Ximen Wudi continued to charge toward the remaining rogue cultivators.

Ximen Wudi's speed was simply too fast; soon, he annihilated all the remaining rogue cultivators.

Ximen Wudi looted the storage rings from these rogue cultivators, then left.

Just as Ximen Wudi left the city, a troop of cavalry arrived.

The leader was a middle-aged military officer.

"Greetings, Young Master Gongsun!"

Those cavalrymen knelt on one knee to salute the leading middle-aged cultivator.

The leading middle-aged cultivator was named Gongsun Henghe, and he was Gongsun Hengyuan's cousin.

Gongsun Henghe asked, "Where are the rogue cultivators I sent out?"

"Reporting to Young Master Gongsun! They... have all been killed!" the middle-aged military officer replied.

"Trash!"

Gongsun Henghe roared in anger.

Immediately, he said, "Issue the order immediately! Let the guard teams investigate the murderer! I want to capture him alive!"

"Understood..."

The middle-aged cultivator responded, then retreated.

And Gongsun Henghe led people into the City Lord's Mansion.

The defensive power inside this city was extremely strong.

So the guards of the City Lord's Mansion were extremely strong.

Ximen Wudi moved forward, feeling many powerful auras lurking in the dark.

"Worthy of being the Dragon Gate Inn, with many experts; there are many array prohibitions here, even if a powerhouse at the Quasi-Emperor level descended, it would likely be very difficult to break the arrays here. My strength has not yet recovered to its peak, but even without recovering to the peak state, it is enough to suppress and kill you all!"

A sinister smile appeared on the corner of Ximen Wudi's mouth.

Whoosh.

The next moment, he directly traveled through the void and disappeared from where he was.

When he appeared again, Ximen Wudi had arrived deep within the City Lord's Mansion, then activated the Great Teleportation Talisman paper.

Hum.

The Great Teleportation Talisman paper trembled slightly.

Then light surged.

A mass of white light wrapped around Ximen Wudi's body.

Swish.

With a flash of light, Ximen Wudi's body disappeared without a trace.

When he appeared again, he had already arrived ten thousand miles away.

Initially.
