"There are quite a lot of things here, but unfortunately your Luanxing Sect is unwilling to use them. In that case, let me help you!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.

Swoosh!

His figure flashed, leaving an afterimage in place as he quickly rushed up.

A quarter of an hour later, when Zhang Xiaohao stopped again, all the precious books on the third floor were completely swept clean by him.

After finishing everything, Zhang Xiaohao’s figure flashed, once again disappearing into the void. With a thought, he retrieved all the Power of Reincarnation from his surroundings and headed towards the first floor.

Out of the treasure building, Zhang Xiaohao did not delay and directly exited the restriction, giving a glance to the hunched old man beside him. Seeing him still reading a book, Zhang Xiaohao was curious and swept his gaze over, instantly freezing.

"This old guy is actually reading children’s books? A monster who’s lived for thousands of years, how shameless," Zhang Xiaohao thought to himself, complaining.

However, he did not stop him from continuing to read. He moved towards the sleeping quarters of the Sect Master of the Luanxing Sect.

The main objective this time was to kill this old guy. Only by resolving this old fellow could the City Lord Mansion devour the Luanxing Sect without encountering any trouble. Otherwise, even if they could do it, the City Lord Mansion would have to pay a hefty price.

If it were before having a relationship with Liu Qingcheng, the survival of the City Lord Mansion would not concern Zhang Xiaohao at all, but now that everything has been done, the City Lord Mansion is considered his own people, Zhang Xiaohao could not let them suffer heavy losses.

Two hours later.

Zhang Xiaohao arrived outside the chambers of Luan Tianhai. The grand chambers, resplendent with gold and jade, were nine stories high. A terrifying aura of formation emanated from the massive palace in front of him.

Moreover, the palace’s exterior, resplendent in gold, was heavily guarded. Pairs of patrolling disciples roamed back and forth. If it weren’t for Zhang Xiaohao possessing the Great Covering Sky Reincarnation Thin Cloud Technique, silently infiltrating would be extremely difficult. Now, however, no matter how strong their defenses, they were like paper in front of him.

Swoosh!

With a flash, Zhang Xiaohao entered the resplendent palace in front of him.

The Reincarnation Heavenly Eye was deployed and he quickly found Luan Tianhai’s location.

At this time, the old guy was sitting on the ninth floor, cross-legged on a bed, circulating his Cultivation Technique, seemingly cultivating.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Xiaohao did not rush over to resolve him but instead, with a thought, entered the Xuantian Space and communicated with Hei Wuchang, the two using Divine Thought to converse.

Soon after, the three Xuantian Demon Treasures on Zhang Xiaohao disappeared into the Xuantian Space...

With everything prepared, Zhang Xiaohao did not delay, his body shifting towards the ninth floor. Soon, Zhang Xiaohao entered the formation, entering the palace without a ripple.

At this moment, Luan Tianhai’s cultivation had reached a critical juncture. Judging by his appearance, he seemed to be cultivating a powerful Secret Technique.

"Do it!!!" Zhang Xiaohao suddenly shouted in a low voice.

Immediately, Hei Wuchang’s figure flashed, the Wind Element Principle Silk infused into the Xuantian Extreme Demon Sword, slicing forcefully downwards.

Zhang Xiaohao didn’t stop, shouting in a low voice, "Time Freeze!"

As Zhang Xiaohao’s voice faded, Luan Tianhai’s body was frozen for a mere 0.01 seconds.

In that brief 0.01 seconds, his life and death were decided.

Moreover, with all his focus on cultivation in his own lair, he had not anticipated anyone would silently intrude and appear before him. By the time he reacted, it was too late; his body had already been frozen by Zhang Xiaohao. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Furthermore, forcibly ending his cultivation resulted in backlash. Although he hadn’t gone into deviation, his internal condition was far from good. At that moment, a terrifying black Sword Qi sliced him cleanly in two. Before his Nascent Soul could react, Hei Wuchang opened his mouth and swallowed Luan Tianhai’s Nascent Soul.

After finishing everything, Zhang Xiaohao grabbed his storage bag and tossed it directly into the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

"Brother Hei, great job!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.

"I dare not take the credit! Without your help, Brother Zhang, it would have been impossible for us to enter here silently or stand before him. Moreover, as he reached a critical point in his cultivation, even without the Xuantian Extreme Demon Sword’s aid, killing him would have taken only one move, especially since he was frozen by you, Brother Zhang! With so many methods applied, if he didn’t die, we might as well buy a piece of tofu and bash our heads against it," Hei Wuchang said earnestly.

"Brother Hei, I notice you always devour the enemy’s Nascent Soul. Is there some benefit in consuming their Nascent Soul?" Zhang Xiaohao asked curiously.

"Hehe! It’s more than just beneficial; it’s a great fortune! However, it must be the Nascent Soul of a cultivator in the Mahayana Realm. Every Nascent Soul is the essence of heaven and earth, nurtured over countless years, containing not only powerful, pure energy but also enhancing one’s potential! However, those who consume Nascent Souls are typically from our Black Dragon Clan, as our clan’s unique talent allows us to perfectly absorb the Nascent Soul Power!" Hei Wuchang explained with a chuckle.

"No wonder! By the way, Brother Hei, there are five other cultivators in the Mahayana Realm in Luanxing Sect. Do you want their Nascent Souls?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"Since we’re here, we might as well devour them too! Even small mosquitoes are still meat!" Hei Wuchang replied.

"Alright, we’ll wait for them here!" Zhang Xiaohao responded.

Immediately, his figure flashed, deploying the Great Covering Sky Reincarnation Thin Cloud Technique, exiting the palace. He took out a flare and fired it into the sky.

Swoosh!

The flare blossomed in the sky, casting a brilliant glow over the entire Luanxing City.

After doing all this, Zhang Xiaohao’s figure flashed again, reentering the palace, and he and Hei Wuchang disappeared into the void.

Meanwhile, at the City Lord Mansion.

These days, Liu Shentong was like an ant on a hot pan, unable to wait any longer.

At this moment, Liu Shentong paced back and forth in Liu Qingcheng’s room, his anxiety completely evident.

Suddenly, Xiaoqing rushed in from outside.

"City Lord! Miss! The son-in-law has fired the flare!!!" Xiaoqing said excitedly.

"Hahaha! I knew the lord would succeed!" Liu Shentong laughed heartily in triumph.
