Chapter 174 - 174: The Rout of the Xuantian Sect, Mo Fan's Vicious Methods, Jun Xiaoyao Receives the News

"This... was this all your doing? And the unsealing of the Golden Horn Clan and Silver Horn Clan, that was also related to you?" Liu Qianqian's voice was trembling.

"Haha, that's right. The unsealing of their two clans is indeed related to me. Didn't you frame me before, saying I was associated with the Criminal Clans? Well now, I'll simply join forces with the Criminal Clans and annihilate the Xuantian Sect!" Mo Fan laughed maniacally.

"How did it come to this..." Despair filled Liu Qianqian's eyes. She had never imagined that, as the saying goes, a small leak could sink a great ship. A person she had regarded as an ant, Mo Fan, had ended up shaking the very foundation of the entire Xuantian Sect.

"Speaking of which, I should thank you. If it weren't for you, how could I have obtained such an opportunity?" Mo Fan stepped forward and patted Liu Qianqian's cheek with his hand. Being struck by lightning had, against all odds, placed a Star Figurine in his mind. Relying on this Star Figurine, Mo Fan had risen all the way, his strength skyrocketing. Not only that, but the former hegemon of the Starfall Continent, the Limitless Star Palace, had even sought him out, saying he was the 'Child of the Stars' and would become the most important figure in the Limitless Star Palace in the future. With his strength enhanced and the Limitless Star Palace as his backer, Mo Fan had completely taken off. And the first thing he wanted to do after taking off was to get revenge on the Xuantian Sect, as well as Liu Qianqian and the others. Liu Qianqian and the others deserved to die. And the people of the Xuantian Sect who had condoned Liu Qianqian's actions also deserved to die! Hadn't Liu Qianqian and the others falsely accused him of colluding with the Criminal Clans? So, Mo Fan simply used the power of the Limitless Star Palace to release both the Golden Horn Clan and the Silver Horn Clan. This was what had caused the current monstrous catastrophe.

"Mo... Mo Fan, spare my life..." Liu Qianqian's delicate body trembled like a leaf. She never thought that a single misjudgment would bring such a disaster upon herself and the Xuantian Sect. Of course, Liu Qianqian didn't know that even without her, Mo Fan was destined to experience other calamities. Because Mo Fan was the protagonist of heaven and earth for the Starfall Continent, one of the Ten Heaven-Defying Children. He had to go through tribulations to fully awaken his "cheat-like" life. Even if the tribulation with Liu Qianqian hadn't happened, other calamities would have forced Mo Fan to activate his 'cheats'. But, naturally, Liu Qianqian knew nothing of these hidden truths. At this moment, tears streamed down her face as she begged for Mo Fan's forgiveness.

"Heh, Liu Qianqian, you and I had a connection, after all. How could I bear to kill you..." Mo Fan revealed a cold smile. "Thank... thank you..." Liu Qianqian wept with joy. However, before the smile of having survived a disaster could form on her face, she heard Mo Fan's voice, as cold as frost. "If I let you die so easily, how would that do justice to the suffering I endured?" Mo Fan's words caused Liu Qianqian's heart to sink to the bottom of a valley. Next, Mo Fan tied Liu Qianqian to a bronze pillar – the very one he had been tied to more than a year ago. Then, under Liu Qianqian's terrified gaze, Mo Fan took out a long sword and began to slice her body, bit by bit. He was going to execute her by a thousand cuts. "No... don't... Ah!!!" A heart-wrenching scream came from Liu Qianqian. Blood splattered. As time went on, Liu Qianqian was on the verge of death, her entire body covered in blood. Her wounds were so deep that bone was visible; there wasn't a single patch of intact flesh left. Still not satisfied, Mo Fan struck again with his sword, severing the tendons in her hands and feet. He also shattered her dantian's Spirit Sea, completely crippling her. "Heh, Liu Qianqian, I won't kill you. I want you to struggle in this world as a cripple, haha!" Mo Fan laughed towards the sky. His thoughts became clear and unhindered, and the obsession in his heart was finally resolved. He then left with a group of experts from the Limitless Star Palace, leaving Liu Qianqian alone, struggling on the brink of death.

Meanwhile, the great battle between the Xuantian Sect and the Criminal Clans had reached a fever pitch. The Golden Horn Clan and the Silver Horn Clan also had Saint and Quasi-Saint experts, who completely tied down the Xuantian Sect Master and Vice Sect Master. "Damn it, what should we do?" the Vice Sect Master said, his face anxious. "Send the signal directly. We have to at least try," the Xuantian Sect Master said. Hearing this, the Vice Sect Master took out a jade slip and crushed it directly. This was a signal jade slip left to them by the Jun Clan. If it was crushed, it meant that the Xuantian Sect was in grave danger and facing an unprecedented crisis. "I hope the master Jun Clan has already dispatched experts to the Lower Realm," the Vice Sect Master prayed in his heart. Just then, in the void, a Saint-realm fluctuation was suddenly felt again. A black-cloaked figure had attacked, forming a great star palm print between his fingers and palm, blasting towards the Vice Sect Master. Puchi! The Vice Sect Master was caught off guard and couldn't stop spitting up blood. "The Limitless Star Palace, it really is you!" The Vice Sect Master, heavily injured, roared in anger. They had already suspected it before, but now it was confirmed. As for the reason the Limitless Star Palace attacked, besides Mo Fan's influence, there was another major reason. The original hegemon of the Starfall Continent was the Limitless Star Palace. Even though the Limitless Star Palace had declined due to the fall of the Limitless Star Monarch, its leading position could not be shaken. However, the arrival of the Xuantian Sect had gradually replaced the Limitless Star Palace's status on the Starfall Continent. Firstly, the Xuantian Sect was very powerful. Secondly, it was a faction that had descended from the Immortal Domain. Over time, the Limitless Star Palace was relegated to a corner, declining day by day, while the Xuantian Sect became the new hegemon of the Starfall Continent. Under these circumstances, how could the Limitless Star Palace be willing to be suppressed? Coupled with Mo Fan's push, this led the Limitless Star Palace to decide to make a move.

"Let's go." Seeing the situation, the Xuantian Sect Master's brow darkened. He directly grabbed the Vice Sect Master and began to retreat. Although he was extremely unwilling to abandon the rest of the Xuantian Sect, as Saint-realm experts, they were the strongest combat power in the Lower Realm and could not be lost here. If they were to suppress the Criminal Clans again in the future, they would be needed. Therefore, the Xuantian Sect Master was very decisive and retreated directly. Some of the other True God, Heavenly God, Dao God, and other experts also began to scatter and retreat. The Golden Horn Clan, the Silver Horn Clan, and the Limitless Star Palace naturally wouldn't miss the chance to beat a drowning dog and pursued them relentlessly, leveling many mountain ranges and killing numerous Xuantian Sect experts. In the end, only a few Xuantian Sect cultivators managed to escape.

At the same time as the Xuantian Sect's defeat, on the Tianxuan Continent, deep within the Nalan Clan's spiritual mountain, in a quiet pavilion. Jun Xiaoyao was calmly drinking tea. Su Ziqiong stood behind him, massaging his shoulders with her jade-like hands. Having the Holy Maiden of the Purple Mansion Holy Land give you a shoulder massage was not a treatment everyone could enjoy. Jun Xiaoyao was planning his next move. Just then, within his spatial artifact, a golden token suddenly began to emit an ominous bloody light. "This is?" Jun Xiaoyao took out the golden token. This golden token had been given to him by Jun Zhantian and was also a token of the Jun Clan. With this token, Jun Xiaoyao could command the five follower factions. At the same time, this token was also a magical tool for transmitting messages. And the bloody light represented that a follower faction was in an unprecedented crisis. "This message... is from the Starfall Continent..." Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flickered darkly.
