Chapter 1130: Chapter 1130: Challenging the Evil God
The people of the Xie Family shivered upon hearing these words; the Ancestor Xie, who stood at the pinnacle of the Martial Saint for over sixty years, was merely a larger ant in front of the Beihai Venerable?
The Xie family instinctively resisted believing this notion, but when they saw the fragments of bodies scattered across the ground, still faintly glowing with a blue light, they had no choice but to accept it.
Xie Jiacheng’s face turned ashen, his heart nearly overwhelmed by rage, and he said coldly, "Such arrogance, do you have other targets in mind?"
The Beihai Venerable glanced at Xie Jiacheng and chuckled, "I quite like your temper, if it were anyone else, I would have slapped them to death by now. But now I might as well answer your query. My primary purpose here is to spar with the Evil God. Your ancestor was merely blocking my path."
"The Evil God?"
At the mention of these two words, everyone in the Xie Family was stunned.
Previously, Ancestor Xie had devised a plan to lure the Evil God to the Xie Family’s old mansion and then kill him. However, the Evil God directly shattered their scheme and brazenly declared to everyone that he would soon head north to annihilate the Xie Family!
They didn’t expect the Beihai Venerable to specifically emerge into the secular world with the same goal. Does the Evil God possess such immense allure?
"Hmm?"
Observing the expressions of the Xie Family, the Beihai Venerable sensed something amiss, asking, "Do you have some connection with the Evil God? Hmph, tell me everything without any omissions!"
An overwhelming aura of terror emanated from the Beihai Venerable, pressing down on the Xie Family.
"Heh heh..." Xie Jiacheng merely sneered without a word.
However, not everyone in the Xie Family shared his indomitable spirit. Most realized that with Ancestor Xie already dead, they were like fish on a chopping block. To seek a chance of survival, they couldn’t defy any of the Beihai Venerable’s intentions.
Consequently, one elderly figure of the family ingratiatingly recounted the entire sequence of events.
"Hahaha, interesting, interesting!" The Beihai Venerable couldn’t help but laugh heartily after hearing, "I quite enjoy the Evil God’s style. It reminds me of my own in my younger days."
"Heh heh, since he’s heading north soon, I’ll wait here for him. It saves me the trouble of heading south; I might miss him otherwise."
The Beihai Venerable muttered to himself before turning to the Xie Family and instructing, "Prepare a place for me to stay, and spread the word about today. Announce to everyone that I, the Beihai Venerable, am waiting here at the Xie Family for the Evil God, so we can have a good spar!!"
Excitement flashed intensely in the Beihai Venerable’s eyes.
Previously, when Xiao Zheng was on his expedition to exterminate the Demon Shield Bureau, the battlefield was at the North Pole. At that time, the Beihai Venerable was also cultivating in seclusion there. He had sensed Xiao Zheng’s aura from afar and knew that Xiao Zheng was a formidable opponent.
The Xie Family exchanged looks of humiliation, yet there was also a sense of relief.
The fact that the Beihai Venerable wasn’t going to kill them made them feel as if they had escaped heaven, but it was a disgrace for the esteemed Xie Family, a prominent northern lineage, to serve the Beihai Venerable.
Yet, they had no choice but to endure the humiliation.
"For us martial artists, there is only one goal, which is to pursue the Martial Arts Peak. Our ancestor fought fairly against the senior and unfortunately fell. Even with such an ending, our ancestor would be relieved to meet someone stronger and see a higher horizon. Although we are grieved, we understand the bigger picture and know we must not be entangled in worldly grudges. If the senior has such demands, we will naturally do our utmost to serve."
At that point, an elder from the Xie Family stepped forward and spoke these noble words.
The Xie Family members were all visibly complex in their expressions, yet no one spoke at this time, all maintaining silence.
After all, preserving one’s own life was paramount! Facing this formidable Beihai Venerable, if they couldn’t defeat him, they had to submit.
Only Xie Jiacheng had a cold sneer on his lips.
"Heh heh, who could have thought, our esteemed Xie Family, a prominent northern clan with over eighty years of legacy, producing countless heroes throughout history, has ended up being composed entirely of such petty people!"
"Xie Jiacheng, how dare you speak like that, do you not fear the family rules?" many people exclaimed in outrage, rebuking him sternly.
"Family rules?"
Xie Jiacheng revealed a bitter smile, "This Xie Family has fallen, what use are family rules now? Hahaha, Ancestor, you depart first, I’ll join you shortly."
Xie Jiacheng laughed to the heavens, finally mobilized his True Qi suddenly, severing his own meridians.
"Jiacheng..." Xie Jiacheng’s parents and others cried out in sorrow and shock.
"He committed suicide?" Even the Beihai Venerable was taken aback.
"Heh heh heh, Beihai Venerable, you will fail, the Evil God... is a true legend. Even if you were a hundred times more powerful, you wouldn’t be his match." Xie Jiacheng stared at the Beihai Venerable and, finishing his last words, died completely, his body collapsing to the ground with a bang.
"Hmph, brat!"
The Beihai Venerable, enraged, swung his palm, and in the ensuing torrent of Gang Qi, obliterated Xie Jiacheng’s body to dust.
Observing this, except for a few, the expressions of the other Xie Family members were indifferent. Their own lives were what truly mattered.
Some even cheered loudly, their sycophantic demeanor bordering on excessive, pronouncing that Xie Jiacheng deserved death for offending the dignity of the Martial Saint.
The Beihai Venerable, casting a cold glance over these people, said, "Why are you still standing here? Hurry up and arrange a place for me to stay, and spread that news."
The Xie Family quickly complied.
This battle between Martial Saints, thus came to a close.
Ancestor Xie, brilliant and incomparable, entered the Martial Saint Realm at forty, ascended Huashan Sect, entered Shaolin Sect, and fought undefeated against the Martial Saints of those martial sanctuaries.
But today, at the zenith of his cultivation, he was blasted apart with a single punch by the Beihai Venerable, meeting a miserable defeat!
...
Soon after, what transpired within the Xie Family spread like a whirlwind, sweeping throughout the vast secular lands.
Various major forces were all shocked.
Everyone was flabbergasted.
Countless were left speechless by this news.
They had anticipated an upcoming pinnacle battle between Ancestor Xie and the Evil God, but unexpectedly, a Beihai Venerable emerged midway and actually...
Killed that Ancestor Xie!!
