“Later on, we might as well ask their ancestor directly.”

“That’s better,” Shen Ruyan replied with a smile.

Shen Ruyan suddenly smiled and nodded.

In the next moment, she stepped forward decisively.

One step, two steps, three steps…

With each step she took, her aura soared.

The previously clear and cloudless sky began to churn with dark clouds, brewing a storm, after Shen Ruyan took three steps.

Silver lightning streaked across the sky, gathering overhead like a harbinger of doom.

An overwhelming sense of terror descended upon everyone present.

Even those observing from afar were caught in this fearsome aura, their expressions turning into sheer panic. “What… what’s happening here?” they wondered, faces pale with shock.

At this moment, everyone could clearly feel the immense power emanating from Shen Ruyan in the sky. She seemed like a divine ent.i.ty bringing about destruction, instilling an indescribable fear in their hearts.

“Soul… Soul Formation Heavenly Lord!”

Someone finally managed to utter these words.

The situation had become clear to everyone there – if they hadn’t guessed the ident.i.ty of their adversary by now, they would be hopelessly stupid.

Including the cultivators from the Xu family, everyone’s expressions changed drastically.

Xu Hailong’s face, in particular, turned ghostly pale.

No one there knew better than him how terrifying a Soul Formation Heavenly Lord could be.

At this point, he truly wished he could claim that it was all a misunderstanding. But he dared not.

The unfolding events made it clear what had really happened.

Pretending ignorance in front of a Soul Formation Heavenly Lord would be akin to courting death.

Boom!

Suddenly, a thunderous explosion echoed from the stormy clouds, instantly causing Xu Hailong and the other Xu family cultivators to flush red.

They staggered, spewing mouthfuls of fresh blood. And all this was merely the result of Shen Ruyan’s mere presence.

She hadn’t even made a move yet.

But she had already severely injured all the Xu family cultivators.

“Fellow Daoist, show mercy!”

However, at this moment, a figure suddenly flew over from the distant sky.

Before he arrived, a terrifying aura that was like a mountain and a sea had already swarmed over.

It was clearly another Soul Formation Heavenly Lord.

“Great-grandfather!”

Xu Hailong, who was originally pale and heavily injured, immediately revealed a pleasantly surprised expression when he saw the figure rus.h.i.+ng over from afar.

The figure was none other than Xu Kunming, the ancestor of the Xu family. However, Shen Ruyan paid no heed to Xu Kunming’s arrival.

The oppressive force she exerted on Xu Hailong and the others remained undiminished.

On the contrary, with the appearance of Xu Kunming, the violent might of the lightning involuntarily became even more frightening.

“Arghh!”

Xu Hailong and the others once again spewed out blood violently.

The approaching Xu Kunming’s expression darkened as he angrily rebuked, “Fellow Daoist, isn’t it too much to vent your anger on these juniors?” “Too much?” Shen Ruyan remained unaffected by his words.

With a cold smirk, she retorted, “Are you the Xu family’s ancestor?

Why don’t you mention how your juniors offended me earlier?

Instead, you choose to focus on me bullying the young.

Fine then, I’ll have a proper discussion with you, the Xu family’s ancestor.” As she finished speaking, Shen Ruyan suddenly extended two fingers, forming a sword-like gesture, and lightly slashed towards the incoming Xu Kunming. Shriek—

Instantly, a horrifying sword light, wrapped in endless thunder, shot out from Shen Ruyan’s fingers.

The terrifying power directly ripped apart the s.p.a.ce in front of her, creating dark spatial rifts.

Seeing this, all the cultivators who were watching from afar could not help but be shocked.

A Soul Formation Heavenly Lord was indeed a Soul Formation Heavenly Lord.

A casual attack actually carried the power to tear s.p.a.ce apart.

“Senior Brother Yang…”

On the other side.

Junior Brother Yao looked at the scene in front of him and could not help but have a solemn expression. He turned to look at the white-robed old man beside him.

The white-robed old man was no longer as relaxed as he was in the auction room.

At this moment, his expression was almost the same as Junior Brother Yao’s. His face was filled with seriousness.

“It seems Old Xu has really hit a wall this time.”

BOOM!

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Kunming took out a huge furnace.

The entire furnace was dark gold in color.

As the light circulated, it immediately gave people the illusion that it was invulnerable to fire and water and that swords and spears could not manage it. However, to everyone’s surprise, when Shen Ruyan’s thunderous sword light collided with the dark gold furnace, the furnace vibrated violently.

In the next moment, its glowing light abruptly extinguished.

There was a rumble.

With a thunderous sound, the entire dark gold furnace was sent flying thousands of miles away by Shen Ruyan’s sword light, eventually cras.h.i.+ng into a giant peak, turning it into a cloud of dust and debris.

Xu Kunming himself was also shaken by the collision.

His forward charge turned into an uncontrollable retreat, and his complexion alternated between shades of green, red, and white.

Eventually, he couldn’t hold back and spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood.

All it took was one strike, just one.

The blow, delivered by a casual hand, had severely wounded Xu Kunming, who was also a Soul Formation Heavenly Lord.

This raised the question: how terrifying must her true strength be?

Many spectators widened their eyes and dropped their jaws in disbelief.

Junior Brother Yao and the white-robed old man could not help but look at each other.

They could see the shock in each other’s eyes.

One had to know that Xu Kunming, who had been severely injured by Shen Ruyan, was on par with them.

Since the other party could injure him in one strike, didn’t that mean that if the other party faced them, she could also injure them in one strike?

This realization s.h.i.+fted their mood from one of amus.e.m.e.nt to a grave sense of emergency.

However, compared to Junior Brother Yao and the old man in white, Xu Hailong, Xu Chuanping, and the other Xu Family cultivators felt as if they had fallen into an abyss.

They had not expected their ancestor to be defeated so quickly by Shen Ruyan. Although neither had used their full strength in the brief exchange, it was clear that Shen Ruyan’s power surpa.s.sed that of the Xu family’s ancestor.

Now, the Xu family members wondered how they could continue this confrontation.

Shen Ruyan, however, was indifferent to their concerns.

Facing Xu Kunming, whose expression had turned quite ugly, she spoke calmly, “Xu family’s ancestor, let’s hear it. How do you plan to resolve this matter?” Hearing Shen Ruyan’s words, Xu Kunming’s face darkened again.

He was furious, but on the surface, he looked at Shen Ruyan and said in a deep voice,

“What do you want?”

Shen Ruyan didn’t mince words. “Tell me how you acquired that Refinement Stone.

And a friendly warning: don’t try any tricks, or all your Xu family descendants here will be annihilated.”

As she spoke, the thunderbolts in the sky gathered around Xu Hailong and the others, poised to strike.

The terrifying aura made it clear that Shen Ruyan could, at any moment, fulfill her threat of obliterating them all.

This was a scenario none of the Xu family members, who had come to

Moonlight City, could have antic.i.p.ated.

Xu Kunming was also taken aback, surprised that Shen Ruyan was also after the Refinement Stone.
