"Disciple, do not act rashly!"
Deep within the misty Cloudsmoke Mountain, the First Elder, Li Tianyao, flushed with shame and panic. In the blink of an eye, her red dress was torn to shreds by the frenzied Di Longxuan!
Her snow-white skin was instantly exposed to the air.
"Master, I... my internal organs feel like they are about to explode from the heat... I can't control myself! Quickly, please, just kill me!"
Di Longxuan’s eyes were blood-red as he pinned Li Tianyao to the floor.
"He must have attempted a breakthrough in secret and suffered a backlash!" the Second Elder, Xu Bingqing, gasped in shock.
"You all... come here and help me. I cannot withstand his True Yang alone! We cannot just let Longxuan explode and die..."
How could Li Tianyao bear to strike him with lethal force?
Seeing this, the remaining four elders, though mortified and trembling with fear, saw no other option. In the end, they could only choose to join in...
Strange, suggestive sounds echoed through the deep mountains, one after another...
Three days and three nights later.
The tall, robust Di Longxuan knelt on the floor, shirtless, looking at his five masters, who were covered in bruises and bites. He was filled with utter remorse.
His five masters were the world’s most exquisite beauties, and he had offended them all.
"This disciple has committed an act worse than a beast. I deserve death. I shall end my own life to pay for my sins!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Di Longxuan struck a fierce blow toward his own forehead!
But in an instant, a strip of red cloth wrapped around his arm, forcing him to stop.
"You are the disciple we five have spent six painstaking years raising. Who could bear to see you die?" the First Elder, Li Tianyao, whispered, utterly exhausted.
The red fabric was none other than the dress Di Longxuan had torn from her.
"Sigh, you were only driven by your thirst for revenge, which is why you attempted the breakthrough in secret. Perhaps this was destiny," the Fourth Elder, Mo Qingcheng, said as she looked at her own snow-white legs, which were covered in bite marks. She felt both shattered and ashamed.
In the end, all five forgave Di Longxuan.
"You have mastered everything the five of us know. From today, you shall descend the mountain to settle your blood feud!"
"Since you have just broken through, your True Yang may still become unstable. At the foot of the mountain are the nine Holy Maidens of Cloudsmoke Mountain. If you have any further... needs, you may find them to resolve it."
"This disciple thanks the five masters for their mercy. Once I have finished my revenge, I will surely return to serve you as a beast of burden to repay your kindness!"
Di Longxuan kowtowed three times, his forehead thumping against the floor.
Afterward, he hastily packed his belongings and descended the mountain.
The five elders stood at the mountain gate, watching Di Longxuan’s retreating figure, their eyes filled with complex emotions.
He had successfully broken through the Profound Dragon Vein—the first person in a century to do so, a true monster of talent!
His arrival in the mortal world would surely bring about a rain of blood...
Di Longxuan missed his five stunning masters, who had cared for him so deeply. However, every night, he dreamed of the hundreds of people from the Di Family who had been slaughtered!
In his dreams, they screamed, drenched in blood. Whenever Di Longxuan woke up, his tears had already soaked his pillow.
That was why he had to descend. He had to kill every last enemy of the Di Family; he would pile up a mountain of heads to offer as a sacrifice to his hundred kin!
Six years ago, the Di Family was the number one powerhouse in Zhangtai City, and Di Longxuan was just an idle, wealthy playboy. He could have lived a life of drunken luxury forever, but because his father provoked a mysterious figure, the Di Family was wiped out overnight!
Hundreds of family members were slaughtered, blood flowed like a river, and the mansion went up in a towering inferno—a living hell.
Even now, whenever Di Longxuan remembered that scene, every nerve in his body felt as if it were being torn apart; the pain made him want to collapse!
It was his father who had pushed him into the mansion's secret passage.
After fleeing in terror, Di Longxuan immediately contacted his girlfriend, Yan Lingfei—the only person he could trust in that critical moment.
But Yan Lingfei used that trust to lure him to the riverside wharf.
"Di Longxuan, you never thought you’d become a stray dog, did you? You idiot, you actually told me all the family secrets. If you don't die, who should?"
On that beautiful, charming face, there was no sign of the tenderness of the past—only indifference and cruelty!
At the time, Di Longxuan was shocked and furious to the point of madness. He never expected Yan Lingfei to betray him! To use him!
And appearing with Yan Lingfei that night was Zhang Tailai, dressed in a snowy white suit.
"Di Longxuan, Lingfei is the woman I love, yet I had to endure her playing house with you. Do you know how much I hate you? Now, I’ll give you your answer!"
What followed was a brutal beating by ten sturdy bodyguards!
Di Longxuan was covered in wounds, his flesh mangled, but enduring all the agony, he threw himself at Yan Lingfei like a madman and bit a massive chunk of flesh off her right cheek!
He even swallowed it, bloody and raw!
As one can imagine, amid Yan Lingfei’s shrill screams, Di Longxuan faced a horrific torture!
Directed by Yan Lingfei’s roars, they shattered every inch of his bones and every inch of his flesh.
Then, Zhang Tailai used an iron rod to pierce his heart, draining every drop of his blood...
Finally, he was dumped into the great river.
Originally, Di Longxuan should have died without a doubt, but he was saved by five wandering masters who took him back to Cloudsmoke Mountain as a test subject.
To sustain his life, they injected him with the Vermilion Bird’s divine blood from the sect’s treasury; they used the Black Tortoise’s flesh to repair his body; they filled his heart with the White Tiger’s killing intent; and they transplanted the Azure Dragon’s root and bone into his very frame!
Di Longxuan miraculously lived again, becoming the personal disciple of the five great elders of Cloudsmoke Mountain.
"Yan Lingfei, Zhang Tailai, you certainly never imagined that the Di Longxuan who had every bone broken and every drop of blood drained would still be alive!"
The muscles of Di Longxuan’s jaw twitched hideously!
As soon as he reached the only road at the foot of the mountain, he saw a car speeding toward him from a distance.
"Kid, do you know the way to Cloudsmoke Mountain?"
The car pulled up, and a sturdy man stepped out, asking coldly.
"What are you going to Cloudsmoke Mountain for?" Di Longxuan asked instead of answering.
"Don't talk nonsense. You must have heard of the 'Fairy CEO' of Zhangtai City, Yan Lingfei. I’m running errands for her!"
Zhang Hongtao said coldly, pulling a dozen hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and shoving them into Di Longxuan’s.
But Di Longxuan didn't even glance at them; instead, a terrifying, bone-chilling coldness radiated from his body!
"What is your relationship with Yan Lingfei, and why are you here for her?"
Di Longxuan narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharp and terrifying!
Just hearing the name "Yan Lingfei" ignited a fire of rage within his soul!
"None of your damn business. You’d better lead the way, or there’s no one around here—I could kill you, and no one would ever know."
Zhang Hongtao reached out and grabbed Di Longxuan by the collar.
In his eyes, Di Longxuan, dressed in tattered, simple clothes, was nothing more than a lowly mountain peasant—utterly beneath him, with no right to talk back.
But he didn't see the coldness in Di Longxuan's eyes beginning to boil!
"Since you treat me like this, I won't ask you again."
*Bang!* An explosive sound rang out!
Before Zhang Hongtao could even react, Di Longxuan slapped him across the head.
It was like a watermelon being smashed—red and white matter splattered everywhere!
Di Longxuan didn't give Zhang Hongtao a second glance. He tossed the dozen hundred-yuan bills onto the ground and walked toward the car.
The two men in black inside the car, who had been watching indifferently, were instantly shocked!
*Whoosh, whoosh!* They leapt out of the car with lethal agility and drew their pistols.
"You actually dared to kill Zhang Hongtao! He was a member of the elite Zhang Family, and he was sent by CEO Yan. You’re a dead man!"
The man in black on the left finished his sentence coldly and raised his gun, firing at Di Longxuan!
He was a master marksman; this shot was guaranteed to hit.
Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, Di Longxuan would simply lift his hand and catch the bullet!
"Too amateur."
Di Longxuan finished, flicked his hand, and—*Pfft!*
The bullet instantly pierced the center of the shooter's forehead, and the back of his skull exploded!
"Are you... a Martial Venerable?"
The other man in black felt his skin crawl with terror! He turned to run, not daring to make another move.
But as he turned, he slammed into Di Longxuan’s chest, which was as hard as steel!
"I didn't tell you to leave. Do you think you can?"
Di Longxuan said, his voice freezing. He then kicked out!
The man in black’s legs were instantly shattered into a bloody pulp!
He collapsed to the ground, shrieking, "Martial Venerable, have mercy! I apologize! I’m willing to give you all my tribute! I don't want to die!"
"Tell me, what did Yan Lingfei send you here for? And where is Yan Lingfei?"
Di Longxuan looked down at him, asking in a voice devoid of temperature.
"CEO Yan sent us to Cloudsmoke Mountain to find the legendary Medical Immortal. She wants to buy a secret recipe for skin regeneration. She has a piece of flesh missing from her face, and no matter how she gets skin grafts, it always leaves a scar!"
"She is currently... she should be at the Linglong Hotel hosting her wedding. The ceremony begins in three hours!"
The man in black shivered in terror.
But the moment he finished speaking, Di Longxuan crushed him with a single punch, turning him into a mist of blood!
"Yan Lingfei, how could I be absent from your wedding?"
"Zhang Tailai and you are finally tying the knot. How could I not send a grand gift?"
Di Longxuan kicked a nearby large tree, snapping it in half, and began carving two wooden stakes to craft his gift.
Ten minutes later, he finished, drove the car, and sped toward Zhangtai City!
