Chapter 930: Next!

Upon hearing Xu Fan’s voice, the expressions of many merchant association representatives changed.

These were families past their prime; otherwise, they wouldn’t still be lingering in Golden City.

Xiong Li waved his hand, and his Daoist robe transformed into heavy armor, while a thunderous hammer appeared in his grasp.

“Let’s go, and let the guardian true immortal witness this,” Xiong Li said, his eyes filled with killing intent as he looked at the family representatives.

“Then let’s go; we’re curious to see the fighting strength of your sect’s Chief Disciple.”

“Let’s see if a Quasi-Immortal can take down a group of true immortals,” the leading representative of the family forces chuckled.

Who did he think he was, the Chief Disciple of a top-tier Immortal Sect?

A Quasi-Immortal against true immortals, and not just any true immortals, but those at the peak of true immortal cultivation.

Then, everyone flew in the direction Xiong Li indicated.

In front of the massive bronze gate, Qian Bing, who was directing puppets to maintain order, glanced at Xiong Li’s departing figure.

“Senior Brother knows they’re trying to uncover our sect’s secrets; they’re all doomed,” Qian Bing said, shaking his head.

“Qian Senior Brother, should we help Senior Brother handle this? There’s a group of peak true immortals,” another Hidden Spirit Sect Disciple said.

“Don’t go. You might get splattered with blood,” Qian Bing advised, then called out to the crowd.

“Parents, please don’t cross the barrier; let the children enter the bronze gate on their own.”

“Entering the sect isn’t a final goodbye; they can visit home later,” Qian Bing said to the parents parting with their children.

“Boys in one line, girls in another!”

Just as he was maintaining order, the ground suddenly shook.

In the distance, a towering chaotic golden form—one thousand feet tall—gazed with eyes ablaze with golden flames at the family representative who had been reduced to scraps by its hammer.

The chaotic golden form put away its hammer and looked at the stunned family representative, saying, “Next!”

Its voice, like that of a god or demon, shattered the courage of the family representatives.

This was a Quasi-Immortal!

This fighting strength was that of a Quasi-Immortal!!

Many family representatives questioned their lives after being crushed to scraps by that single blow.

The peak true immortal, who still had two celestial tools, was turned to scraps with one strike.

The various family representatives exchanged looks, then spoke in unison: “Sect’s messenger, we surrender. Please give us some time; we’ll bring substantial gifts to apologize later.”

“I said, next!”

Xiong Li’s eyes burned with battle intent; his belief was that anyone who harmed or dared to harm the sect should die.

“Sect’s messenger, don’t push it. Continuing this won’t end well for anyone,” one family representative said.

At that moment, a few figures emerged from the distant mountains—the heads of those families.

“A sect without even a Golden Immortal thinks we’ll be afraid of you, just because you flatter us with a few words?”

The aura exuded by these family heads was clearly much stronger than that of the earlier family representatives.

They didn’t want to show up at first, but Xiong Li’s hammer strike made them nervous.

If they didn’t put Xiong Li in his place today, they’d lose their grip on Golden City in the future.

“Perfect timing! I was just wondering how to draw you out. Now that you’re here, let’s get started.”

“Same deal as before—if you can beat me, I’ll bring back all the eliminated kids to our sect.”

Xiong Li kept his chaotic golden form active, his aura growing more and more intense.

“Alright, let’s see if your sect’s Quasi-Immortal Chief Disciple can handle all of us family heads,” said the head of the Xiao family, stepping forward with a flicker of anger in his eyes.

The one crushed by that earlier hammer strike was from his family.

“So, you’re the head of the Xiao family!”

“Then come over here and die!!”

The thousand-foot chaotic golden form pointed its hammer at the head of the Xiao family.

“If you’re looking to die, I’ll oblige!” The head of the Xiao family stepped forward, furious.

He then transformed into a massive Divine Beast, the Golden Crow, turning the entire area into a blazing golden fiery domain.

A piercing cry echoed for miles as the Golden Crow, surrounded by golden flames, charged straight at Xiong Li.

“Old Xiao’s Golden Crow transformation has really been mastered. Back when we were still in the Great Ascension stage, this guy used this technique to reach the invincible realm ahead of everyone else. People even said he was the most likely among us to become a Golden Immortal,” one family head commented.

“Forget about the past. If we can’t crush that sect now, we’re all in deep trouble,” another family head said, his brow furrowed.

The two clashed, and at first, the Golden Crow seemed to overpower the thousand-foot chaotic golden form.

The sheer ferocity and intensity of the fiery domain made it seem like the Golden Crow was about to suppress the golden form completely.

Watching the battle from the Hidden Spirit Sect, Xu Fan couldn’t help but smirk.

“All show, no substance. He’s only mastered thirty percent of the Divine Beast technique, and he dares to come out and embarrass himself.”

“Master, should I step in and help Xiong Li? Or should I go handle the situation?” Xu Gang asked, itching to join the fight.

“Stay put and watch. This is our sect’s first battle in the Immortal Realm—we need to make a strong impression.”

“I’ve already given Xiong Li orders: every family head who shows up next is to be turned into scraps. Not a single one gets to walk away,” Xu Fan said.

If they were just here to steal some techniques or resources, that would be one thing—after all, they couldn’t join the sect anyway.

But these families were planning to dig up the Hidden Spirit Sect’s ancestral graves, with detailed plans from top to bottom.

There’s no way we can let them off the hook. You can’t guard against thieves forever.

“Master, this is too much for Xiong Li. Let me handle it—I’m worried he won’t hold up,” Xu Gang said urgently.

“You’ll get your chance later. As for whether he can handle it, do you think I don’t know?” Xu Fan grinned.

By now, the Golden Crow’s attacks were faltering, its momentum shaky, and the once-brilliant fiery domain was dimming.

Meanwhile, the thousand-foot chaotic golden form was growing stronger with every counterattack.

In the heat of battle, Xiong Li finally felt the advantage of his body refinement technique.

First, he could take hits, then strike back—using his unmatched Defensive Strength to crush his enemies’ spirits.

“Sect’s messenger, how about we call it a draw?” the struggling Golden Crow said.

“I told you before the fight—go all out, and don’t worry about lives and deaths.”

A voice like that of a god or demon boomed as a giant golden hand suddenly broke through the fiery domain surrounding the Golden Crow.

It grabbed the Golden Crow’s head in an iron grip.

As the fiery domain shattered, the massive body of the Golden Crow was exposed.

“Family heads, get ready—let’s see who’s next.”

With a crushing squeeze, the giant hand obliterated the Golden Crow’s head.

A mournful cry echoed across the heavens and earth, and below, where the ground had been scorched to crystal, lay a headless corpse.

“Next!”

Xiong Li’s voice, like that of a god or demon, rang out. He’d just received a message from the Grand Elder.

Anyone without the strength who dared to mess with the Hidden Spirit Sect had to die.

The remaining family heads exchanged uneasy glances, a sense of retreat creeping into their hearts.
