"Lord Realm... Advanced?!"
When Qing Tiejun and Duanmu Xiong saw Li Xuan appear, their faces were filled with shock. At this moment, a faint pressure emanated from Li Xuan, and even they felt the pressure.
Only an advanced Lord Realm cultivator could make both Qing Tiejun and Duanmu Xiong feel threatened. What shocked them was that Li Xuan had only been at the initial stage of the Lord Realm before. And he had not broken through for long.
In just over half a month, Li Xuan had soared to such heights!
"Elder Shi Jing, did he leave?" Li Xuan glanced around and then his gaze fell on Qing Tiejun as he asked.
Qing Tiejun nodded immediately, "After dealing with Mu Hongguang and the others, that senior instructed us two to guard the place. Then, that senior departed."
Li Xuan was silent for a moment before nodding, "So be it. Everything has its beginning and its end, and there will always be a day for parting. Family Head Qing, Family Head Duanmu, the matters of Dou City are no longer my concern. From now on, it will be up to you."
After Li Xuan finished speaking, his figure moved and he vanished directly.
"Li Xuan..." The moment Li Xuan departed, a cry sounded from afar, approaching rapidly. The next moment, a graceful figure appeared before Qing Tiejun and Duanmu Xiong. The arrival was none other than Qing Ruoyi.
"Ruoyi, he has already left," Qing Tiejun said with some helplessness upon seeing her. As soon as the golden light changed, Qing Tiejun had sent a message to Qing Ruoyi, but he didn't expect her to be a step too late.
"Our Dou City is too small. How can it contain a powerful dragon like Young Master Li Xuan?" Duanmu Xiong sighed.
Qing Tiejun fell silent. Regardless of Li Xuan's strength and potential talent, even that Elder Shi Jing was not someone they could compare to. As Duanmu Xiong said, Dou City was indeed too small.
"This fellow actually just left like this," Qing Ruoyi murmured, looking into the distance with a complex expression on her face.
"Girl, let's go back. We cannot hope to match Young Master Li Xuan," Qing Tiejun saw that his daughter had developed some feelings for Li Xuan, but thinking of Li Xuan, even Qing Tiejun felt he was beyond reach. This relationship was destined to have no outcome.
Otherwise, why would Li Xuan leave like this?
However, the promise Li Xuan made had now been fulfilled. With the Mu Manor gone, Dou City could be said to be dominated by the Qing Manor and the Duanmu Family. And the Duanmu Family had suffered heavy losses in this battle, so it was not an exaggeration to say that the Qing Manor was alone at the top.
Of course, Qing Tiejun had no intention of eradicating the Duanmu Family. The current Duanmu Family posed no threat to the Qing Manor.
"Brother Qing, I will visit you another day," Duanmu Xiong naturally knew this. For the Duanmu Family to survive in Dou City, they had to forge a connection with the Qing Manor. Although Li Xuan had left, who knew if he would return?
"Good." Qing Tiejun nodded, then with a thought, he took Qing Ruoyi and they vanished.
A thousand miles outside Dou City, on a mountain peak, Li Xuan's figure slowly appeared.
"Young Master, you have reached the advanced Lord Realm now?" the voice of the Heavenly Dao Brush sounded in Li Xuan's mind.
Li Xuan nodded slightly, but there was a hint of helplessness on his face. Li Xuan had never expected Elder Shi Jing to intervene like this. And by directly using the spiritual energy of Mu Hongguang and the others, Li Xuan's strength had bypassed the intermediate Lord Realm, giving him a somewhat unreal feeling.
However, Li Xuan also understood that Elder Shi Jing did this obviously because he felt that defeating Mu Hongguang and the others was too simple. During his interactions with the powerful figures in the Zhenyu, Li Xuan had discovered something.
The stronger one became, the less they wished to get involved in karma. Elder Shi Jing's actions were, in essence, to completely sever his karma with Li Xuan.
What bothered Li Xuan at the moment was that he had not planned for Elder Shi Jing to resolve this matter. But who could have imagined that Mu Hongguang's advanced Lord Realm strength would be so formidable?
In fact, Li Xuan had previously thought of not relying on external forces and had even resolved not to rely on external help no matter what life-or-death situation he faced. Yet, this time, he had ultimately caused Elder Shi Jing to intervene.
Although Li Xuan also understood that without Elder Shi Jing's intervention, he would have died. And the Duanmu Family and Qing Manor would naturally not have survived. Thinking of his promise, Li Xuan suddenly felt a little ridiculous.
"Without absolute strength, some promises were made too hastily," Li Xuan said with a bitter smile, shaking his head.
"Master, actually connections are also a form of strength," the voice of the Cang Ling Tower sounded.
"Young Master, although I do not fully agree with you relying on these external forces, this time it is understandable. After all, with Mu Hongguang's strength, no matter how monstrous you are, you would not have been able to contend," the Heavenly Dao Brush said with rare agreement.
Li Xuan smiled, then after a moment of thought, he said, "Forget it, I won't think about it anymore. I have been in this 'Land of Chaos' for so long, it is time to leave. Unknowingly, so many years have passed since I left the Cangmang Continent."
"Young Master, you can now break through the restrictions of this Land of Chaos?" the Heavenly Dao Brush asked in shock.
In the memory of the Heavenly Dao Brush, only those in the Void Breaking Realm could forcefully break through the Land of Chaos. Although Li Xuan was now in the advanced Lord Realm, he had not yet crossed that threshold. Moreover, the peak of the Lord Realm was already the ceiling of this three-dimensional space.
Li Xuan shook his head, "Currently, I probably cannot break through. However, if I can advance further to the peak, perhaps it will be possible. And to advance further, this back region is a place I cannot miss."
The Heavenly Dao Brush then understood. So, Li Xuan was aiming for the back region. With Li Xuan's current strength, he probably wouldn't be able to stay in the back region for long.
The next moment, Li Xuan moved and shot straight towards the back region.
Several days later, Li Xuan's figure slowly stopped. Ahead of him was a barrier of light, like white mist. This was the division between the back region and the middle region.
"Young Master, there is only one city in this back region, named the City of Chaos. Although the number of powerful cultivators inside is not large, they are all genuine advanced Lord Realm existences. Moreover, the City of Chaos is several times more brutal than Dou City, so Young Master, you must be prepared," the voice of the Heavenly Dao Brush sounded.
Li Xuan nodded slightly. He was already accustomed to the Heavenly Dao Brush's omniscient ability. However, with the Heavenly Dao Brush's introduction, Li Xuan felt much more at ease.
Li Xuan moved and easily passed through the white mist barrier. In an instant, Li Xuan felt that the spiritual energy in this land was far denser than in the middle region. At this moment, Li Xuan understood why advanced Lord Realm cultivators would be here.
This place was indeed more suitable for the cultivation of advanced Lord Realm experts.
Soon, a vast and magnificent city appeared in Li Xuan's eyes.
The City of Chaos.
