Chapter 28: Goodbye, Everyone

“Kid, come out here!”
“I’ll tear you to pieces! I’ll grind your bones to dust! I’ll destroy your soul!”
“No matter who you are or where you come from, our Xiao family must kill you!”
……
In Xiao Zushan’s cave, the powerful members of the Xiao family kept cursing nonstop.
But inside the light barrier, Qu Yi continued to take out spirit stones and pills. After all, he had obtained countless spirit stones and pills from the Xiao family’s pill vault and mineral store. If he didn’t spend them now, it would be difficult to do so in the future.
The Golden Qilin kept eating pills and spirit stones without pause. It would likely never forget this experience in its lifetime—so much wealth being fed into its stomach.
The Xiao family’s accumulated wealth over tens of thousands of years was now flowing into the Golden Qilin’s belly like water.
The Spirit of the Artifact God kept sensing the outside world and learned that the “Thousand Mountains Joint Attack Formation” had already reduced the Xiao family’s headquarters to dust. It then told Qu Yi to change the attack method.
Upon hearing this, Qu Yi immediately used his spiritual awareness to stop the five “No Distinction Between Friend and Enemy” formation discs he had prepared earlier. He then let the Golden Qilin control the “Thousand Mountains Joint Attack Formation” to attack specific targets.
Previously, because of the “No Distinction Between Friend and Enemy” formation discs set up by Qu Yi, the “Thousand Mountains Joint Attack Formation” had attacked the Xiao family’s headquarters randomly, resulting in an explosion of spells everywhere. Now that those discs were stopped, the Golden Qilin could control the formation to target specific enemies.
“Golden Qilin, control the formation and attack Xiao Du Bing, who is in the middle stage of the Tribulation,” Qu Yi ordered.
The Spirit of the Artifact God sensed the outside world, allowing Qu Yi to know the situation as well, so he spoke out.
The Golden Qilin immediately focused on the “Thousand Mountains Joint Attack Formation” and channeled all its energy to attack Xiao Du Bing at the exit of Xiao Zushan’s cave. Spells from the early stage of the Tribulation were sent at him one after another, endlessly.
Xiao Du Bing had been furious earlier, cursing his disciple Xiao Du Han for not being able to defeat someone in the early stage of the Tribulation despite being at that level himself. But before he could finish speaking, a silver blade formed from the silver light in the air and descended from the sky to strike him.
“I…” Xiao Du Bing was too angry to speak.
The powerful members of the Xiao family rushed over, not only failing to stop the “Thousand Mountains Joint Attack Formation” but also turning to attack him. What an infuriating situation!

In anger, Xiao Du Bing immediately grabbed the Chao Yin Ring and threw it into the air, summoning three blue water dragons once again. The three dragons soared upward and shattered the silver sword descending from the sky.
“Xiao Du Han, Xiao Han Tian, you bastards! Haven’t you killed that guy still in the early stage of fusion yet?” Xiao Du Bing was furious. Right after casting a spell to block the silver sword, he roared angrily.
At that moment, another silver sword formed in the air, but instead of targeting Xiao Du Bing, it swung toward Shan Meng, who was standing nearby with a cold smile.
Xiao Du Bing was puzzled—was Qu Yi actually working with this Shan Meng?
The silver sword flashed brightly and suddenly struck Shan Meng on the head.
Shan Meng had been prepared for this. Since Qu Yi already knew his identity and now controlled the formation, he would surely target him. So when the silver sword came down, he already held his Hook Dragon Sword and summoned another golden dragon to shatter the silver sword.
Meanwhile, inside Xiao Zu Mountain’s cave, Xiao Du Han heard Xiao Du Bing’s curses and felt so ashamed he wanted to die. But then he resolved himself, his gaze turning fierce.
“Xiao Han Tian, Xiao Han Lin, you ten of you, work together with me! Attack at the same time—we must break through this protective barrier!” Xiao Du Han shouted loudly.
“Yes, our ancestor,” replied the head of the Xiao family and the nine elders, also filled with anger.
Soon, Xiao Du Han and the ten powerful members of the Xiao family in the fusion stage gathered their magical artifacts, ready to concentrate all their vital energy to break through the defensive barrier created by the formation.
Qu Yi, inside the barrier, saw this and twitched his lips before shouting, “Golden Qilin, those annoying flies from the Xiao family are too bothersome! Control the formation and obliterate them!”
Qu Yi knew he must prevent them from attacking together. After all, the barrier only had the strength of someone in the early stage of tribulation and couldn’t withstand their combined attack.
“Sure thing, master! Just watch me!” the Golden Qilin cheered.
At this point, the Golden Qilin was in a state of extreme excitement. The thought of controlling the formation and having just slain two experts in the tribulation stage filled him with ecstasy.
Then, the Golden Qilin rotated the diamond-shaped crystal for controlling the formation, and soon a massive silver sword appeared outside Xiao Zu Mountain—this time, it was tens of thousands of meters long.
With a single swing of the silver sword, the summit of Xiao Zu Mountain was cut away, revealing the eleven members of the Xiao family, along with Qu Yi and the Golden Qilin.
Even Xiao Du Han was shocked by such a powerful strike and immediately gave up on casting spells to attack.

And those Xiao family disciples who had fled to Xiao Zushan also died in large numbers due to this slash. By now, fewer than a hundred disciples remained in the entire Xiao family, in a pitiful state. The Golden Qilin still wasn’t satisfied; it absorbed another hundred top-quality spirit stones and swallowed ten pills, restoring its vital energy. It then controlled the “Thousand Mountains Massacre Formation” to form a silver sword, which it used to strike Xiao Duhuan once again. “I curse you!” Xiao Duhuan shouted angrily. With no choice left as the silver sword approached, Xiao Duhuan threw his magical weapon, Man Tian Ling, into the air. The fabric spread wide in the wind, covering ten miles in length, and endless seawater emanated from it, all hitting the descending silver sword. The silver sword couldn’t withstand the erosion of this seawater; its silver light gradually faded, and the sword disappeared soon after. “Boy, who are you? Why target our Xiao family like this?” Clan Leader Xiao Hantian, his eyes blood-red with anger, shouted. From Qu Yi infiltrating the Xiao family, killing their disciples during the clan competition, to now controlling the formation to attack them, the clan leader still hadn’t figured out why Qu Yi was treating the Xiao family so badly. At that moment, Qu Yi inside the light barrier smiled, then glanced around and saw that among the remaining hundred Xiao family disciples, Xiao Chenlan still wasn’t dead. “Xiao Hantian, blame your son, Xiao Chenlan. He once threatened my brother’s wife, trying to force her to be his concubine. After being defeated by my brother, he even enlisted two early-stage merged elders from your family to hunt my brother. If I hadn’t arrived, my brother would have died, and his wife would have been captured by him,” Qu Yi said coldly with a smile. Hearing this, Xiao Chenlan shuddered violently and fell from the sky. All of this was because of his own momentary lust, and now he would have to bear the consequences alone. Xiao Hantian and the elders all glared angrily at the lying Xiao Chenlan, spewing fury from their mouths. “A young master who still indulges in beauty.” “This scoundrel has brought such disaster upon the family.” “My anger can never be appeased!”… These powerful members of the Xiao family could no longer afford to be angry at Qu Yi and immediately turned their anger on Xiao Chenlan. Clan Leader Xiao Hantian closed his eyes briefly, then opened them sharply, swinging his sword and beheading the lying Xiao Chenlan.

Although he was his own son, as the clan leader, Xiao Hantian could no longer allow Xiao Chenlan to live under the guilt of having nearly brought the Xiao family to extinction because of this son.
When Qu Yi saw Xiao Chenlan dead and sensed the situation, he realized it would be difficult to kill all the people in the Xiao family, so he decided to leave.
Inside the light barrier, Qu Yi suddenly took out a space transmission array from his space ring and set it up immediately.
While in the Tianhuo Star Region, he had obtained dozens of space transmission arrays from the enforcement teams of the JinYang Sect and other sects. After entering Dark Fragrance Star, he had already set up one in a secret location as a means of escape in case of emergency after infiltrating the Xiao family.
“You… you want to escape?” Xiao Duhuan immediately understood Qu Yi’s intentions upon seeing his actions and shouted anxiously.
Qu Yi waved his hand and smiled, “Aren’t you saying the same thing? If I don’t escape, am I waiting for you to behead me?”
The eleven members of the Xiao family all looked stunned but were unable to stop Qu Yi from leaving.
“Jin Qilin, control the formation and attack that strongman from the Taiyuan Sect with all your might,” Qu Yi said, ignoring the expressions of the Xiao family members, and sent a mental message to Jin Qilin.
The thought of that early-stage Tribulation-level strongman from the Taiyuan Sect constantly following him made Qu Yi very annoyed. He hoped to take advantage of the anger of the Xiao family to kill this strongman this time.
Upon receiving the order, Jin Qilin immediately controlled the “Thousand Mountains Joint Killing Formation” to create three silver knives, which all struck at Shan Meng.
Shan Meng glared angrily at Qu Yi on Xiao Zushan, vowing that once he escaped, he would definitely cut Qu Yi to pieces. But at that moment, he had to use his Hook Dragon Sword again, releasing three True Essence Golden Dragons to block the three silver knives in the air.
Meanwhile, Xiao Dubing, a mid-stage Tribulation-level strongman, launched another attack. His Tide Sound Circle was quickly thrown at Shan Meng, combining with the three silver knives to attack together.
Shan Meng managed to block the silver knives but not the Tide Sound Circle. After all, Xiao Dubing was no ordinary opponent—the powerful True Essence within the circle struck Shan Meng hard. Blood spat from Shan Meng’s mouth as he was sent flying, only to bounce back after hitting the energy barrier formed by the “Thousand Mountains Joint Killing Formation.”
Seeing Shan Meng bounce back, Xiao Dubing tried to attack again with the Tide Sound Circle, but Shan Meng skillfully drifted away, clearly unwilling to engage in a direct fight.
Qu Yi took out more spirit stones and pills, having Jin Qilin swallow them all. He then gathered more True Essence, controlled the formation to create a hundred silver knives, and sent them all at the fleeing Shan Meng.

Shan Meng saw that Xiao Du Bing was chasing him from behind, while a silver sword was swinging at him from ahead. In an instant, he decided to meet the attack of the silver sword. He continuously swung his Hook Dragon Sword, unleashing golden dragons to shatter the silver sword before fleeing again.

However, as Shan Meng was blocking the silver sword’s attack, Xiao Du Bing caught up to him and threw another Tide Sound Circle, forcing Shan Meng to shed more life force.

At this moment, Qu Yi saw that Shan Meng was injured and being pursued by Xiao Du Bing. Seeing that Xiao Du Han from the Xiao family was about to lead their powerful cultivators to attack the energy barrier, he decided it was time to leave.

“Golden Qilin, enter the space teleportation array,” Qu Yi ordered softly.

The Golden Qilin controlled the array, exhausting its own vital energy to launch one final attack with a silver sword at Shan Meng before immediately jumping into the space teleportation array.

Qu Yi looked at the people from the Xiao family outside, waved his hand, and said with a smile, “Goodbye, everyone.”

As soon as Qu Yi fed his vital energy into the space teleportation array, the array activated. A flash of white light appeared, and Qu Yi along with the Golden Qilin disappeared.
