"It's him!!!"

Xiu Xiu was furious, waving his hand to strike a palm into the air, terrifying palm prints overwhelming the two of them. However, the black shadow hidden in the ice and snow easily dodged it.

The speed and reflexes of the shadow were too fast; although Xiu Xiu could suppress his opponent, he actually had no intention of attacking.

Swoosh!

The black shadow flashed behind Xiu Xiu, mouth slightly open, and blew out a blizzard, knocking Xiu Xiu down from the air.

Ah!!!

Xiu Xiu suddenly landed on the ground, making the atmosphere tense. The fact that Xiu Er's sister, Xiu Xiu, had appeared meant that a major incident was happening in the inner door, which would definitely alert the council of elders. Perhaps the elders of the council were already preparing to come over at this moment.

"Long Wuxian, I command you to release my brother!!!"

Ignoring the black shadow, Xiu Xiu shouted at Long Wuxian, releasing the aura of an early-stage Saint Emperor. She was furious, never having been so angry in her life.

In this presence, she, as an elder, had never been so embarrassed.

"Hahaha, why is everyone trying to command me today? Hey hey hey, do you think just because you are good-looking and throw me a tsundere act, I, Long Wuxian, will comply? Let me tell you, if you want me to release him, come and save him yourself!"

Long Wuxian laughed.

"Long Wuxian, dare to harm a hair on my brother's head and see what happens, I will make sure you have nowhere to bury yourself!"

Xiu Er threatened fiercely.

"Elder Xiu Xiu, are you threatening your brother's life? I indeed can't disable your brother for a while, but to kill him… that's more than achievable!"

Long Wuxian sneered.

"What did you say? Long Wuxian, listen carefully, you must know how serious the consequences will be! You're messing with someone you shouldn't be messing with!!!"

In fact, Xiu Xiu was overcome with anger at the moment, unwilling to bow to Long Wuxian, and also not believing that Long Wuxian would actually dare to kill Xiu Er. Setting aside their family ties, this was the inner door of a power sect—committing fratricide here would have severe consequences!

Long Wuxian's pupils narrowed, his killing intent escalating, his palm flat against Xiu Er's neck.

No one could threaten Long Wuxian, and he wanted this woman to understand what the rules of this world truly were!!!

It's truly laughable to ask oneself if they dare?

Honestly, at first, Long Wuxian just wanted to give a lesson, but with those words spoken, Long Wuxian truly became enraged.

"D-don't kill me… Sister, he really wants to kill me, sister… help!!!"

Feeling the icy killing intent emanating from the Coral Palace Bead, Xiu Er knew Long Wuxian truly had murderous intentions and realized that threats were futile against this maniac.

Spurt!

Ignoring Xiu Er's fear, Long Wuxian's palm slightly moved, leaving a blood mark on Xiu Er's neck.

Xiu Er's shocked pupils dilated, he forcefully covered the wound on his neck with his hand but was unable to stop the blood from spurting out.

"No!!!"

Xiu Xiu screamed from a distance, veins bulging in her neck, completely consumed by madness.

Watching her brother being killed, seeing him in agony on the ground, witnessing his helpless and pleading eyes, brought upon a deep sense of despair.

And as an elder sister, she was utterly helpless!!!

Xiu Er lay on the ground, life draining from him rapidly, his face turning purple, devoid of any semblance of a living person.

Yet Long Wuxian remained expressionless, showing no mercy towards an enemy who sought his destruction, with no pity in his heart.

If he were merely incapacitated, with the strength of a Saint Emperor, he would be up and about within a few years. However, if he were killed... hmm, even nurturing the soul would take decades of effort, let alone resurrection!

Long Wuxian knew very well that if he didn't kill Xiu Er, and if Xiu Er had a chance in the future, he would definitely seek revenge.

With a bang...

The entire Coral Palace Square stirred, a pungent scent of blood filling the void as Xiu Er's body lay there, creating a tremendous shock among the onlookers.

No one had expected Long Wuxian to actually kill Xiu Er. Many thought back to his words before he acted, where Xiu Xiu's life hung in the balance.

Now it seemed to be true indeed!

In the face of a lunatic who feared neither gods nor demons, threats were the most foolish approach.

All eyes on Long Wuxian were filled with astonishment, unsure how to evaluate this man.

Known for his loyalty, everyone knew he was willing to commit such unfathomable deeds for his friends, disregarding sect regulations and the retaliation from the city. All in the name of justice!

Such a person had long transcended the shackles of morality and law.

Sticking by his friends, showing no mercy to his enemies.

Such a person... was undoubtedly rare!

"Long Wuxian, I will annihilate your whole clan!!!"

Xiu Xiu erupted in rage, Chi radiating from her hands, displaying the battle prowess of a Saint Emperor, she stepped forward, already by Long Wuxian's side, and her Chi laced with cracks in the void, struck out towards him.

Her posture clearly aimed to crush Long Wuxian into oblivion, the hatred from killing her loved one had deeply woven its way into her being.

But Long Wuxian remained unchanged, swiftly retreating behind himself.

As for himself, if he were to indeed face a direct confrontation with a Saint Emperor-level powerhouse now, it would be a dead end. Abilities like Last-Retreat Survival might not even help.

At the moment Long Wuxian retreated, a tornado mixed with a blizzard suddenly descended between Long Wuxian and Xiu Xiu.

Boom...

Xiu Xiu's spatial-tearing Chi collided with the tornado, igniting a frenzied Chi storm.

Though powerful, Xiu Xiu was still no match for the black shadow. In direct combat, she found herself on the losing end.

"Enough, why do you always oppose me? Let me tell you, the Coral City is not afraid of you. If our Coral City Blood Moon Eye succeeds, you are nothing but ants!!!" Xiu Xiu roared at the figure in the blizzard.

For a moment, the sun in the sky suddenly disappeared without a trace, replaced by a dim blood moon!

Instantly, a powerful pressure and a stench of blood pervaded the entire area, even weakening the black shadow.

"Everyone retreat, get out of the square to avoid getting caught in the crossfire!!!" Someone shouted, and all inner disciples flew out of the square.

Everyone could see that Xiu Xiu had gone mad, intent on killing Long Wuxian at all costs, the frenzied combat risking harm to bystanders.

No one wanted to be hit by attacks from a Saint Emperor; even though they were interested in the event, they did not want to play with their lives.

The previously incapacitated inner-disciple by Long Wuxian was also taken away by others. In the blink of an eye, the huge square was completely cleared, becoming a battlefield between Xiu Xiu and the mysterious figure... with Long Wuxian the sole observer.

Whoosh...

At this moment, formidable figures began flying from within the Coral Palace to the sky; these people were all high-level Saint Emperors, the upper echelon of the Coral Palace, the members of the Council of Elders.

Although someone had already reported the situation here, witnessing the current scene left many of these high-level Saint Emperors visibly shocked.

"You... you are truly audacious!!!"

"These crazy disciples must be eliminated!"

"There's nothing more to say, such progeny cannot remain in the Coral City."

"Wait, everyone, we must first investigate the situation thoroughly. Our Council of Elders runs a proper sect; we cannot act recklessly!"

The elders were extremely angry; the Coral Palace had never experienced such an incident before, and it was now challenging the sect's bottom line.

However, upon witnessing Xiu Xiu engage in battle with Long Wuxian, many elders did not intervene. To many, if Xiu Xiu were to kill Long Wuxian, it would be for the best, a form of avenging her brother.

Long Wuxian's actions today were indeed overly arrogant; a disciple like this, the sect had to eliminate. Since the decision was made to do so, leaving it to Xiu Xiu was a way to provide an explanation for the sect.

Meanwhile, Wind God Elder and the others had also arrived, observing the scene clearly and were taken aback.

"What on earth is happening here?"

"…Oh my goodness."

Of the two, Wind was the most stunned, frozen in shock.

"That girl Feiyue is worth it, but this Long Wuxian... has really stirred up trouble."

Elder Wind shook his head helplessly, but there was a sense of admiration and respect in his eyes when he glanced at Long Wuxian.

Though not Xiu Xiu's match, Long Wuxian's courage and resolve had earned him a new level of respect from Elder Wind.
