A single rank 1 magical beast core cause thousands of golds one could only imagine how much a rank 2 magical beast core cost.

Due to this many was able to grow even faster than normal in terms of cultivation because their new incomes.

Xiao zhan was currently in deeps thoughts about the sudden changes in the recent months. He was proud of his adopted son to exponentially grew to helped their xiao clan but couldn't find how he had become stronger.

Nonetheless, he had come to decision to appoint him as the new patriarch. Xiao shen was better leader than he is that could lead the xiao clan to promising future.

xiao zhan visited his other son who had multiple bruises that came from people who bullied bcwyas of his crippled state. He smiled when he saw him with young woman the same age as her.

He left him alone then felt an immense pressure coming to them. Xiao zhan looked to the sky and saw multiple individual floating in the air.

He could sense they were powerful expert decided to pay his respect by greeting them personally.

"I bid you welcome supreme expert may ask why you are in our xiao clan?"

None spoke only observe xiao zhan intently. He shudders from their gaze that emitted death. One them in particular had deathly dou qi that eroding the air.

"Are you the patriarch of the xiao clan?"

The voice resounded throughout the xiao clan and every person felt the killing intent spreading all over the wu tan city. Xaio zhan used his duo qi to try to stay awake as the pressure was far too much for him to handle.

"W-Who are you and why are you doing this!?"

Xiao zhan never offended anyone bigger than themselves therefore how come a powerful expert had such a strong killing intent.

"We don't need t to tell you anything and die!"

The elder who hated xiao shen jumped to attack him grinning as he was certainly stronger than xiao Zhan but to his utter shock his fist collided with another sending him flying.

"GAH!!!"

Xiao zhan couldn't react fast enough but was relieve to see he was still alive and saw another figure floating in the sky.

"G-Gu lin!?"

"Master zhan please leaved or you will be in the crossfire. Please let me handle this and try to calm people."

The xiao clan patriarch was in utter shocked, he couldn't believe that the person his adopted son had brought was a powerful expert. Though the person was far too young to be powerful expert but remember that powerhouse could retain their youths.

He nodded understanding the situation left the place leaving gu in to face the attacker who grew wary of him. Gu lin was nervous to fight someone but he didn't want to disappoint his master who gave him better life than when he was in the gu clan.

"What is the reason you come to this place!?"

"Hmph! Why would we tell you youngster??"

The soul hall member observes trying to read what cultivation the young man but gain nothing. He couldn't gauge gu lin cultivation stage.

The other accomplice attack gu lin using each their dou skill. Doing different types of hand sign gu line released a barrage of fire you skill sending their attack back to them.

They were scolded while the person used soul-based skill to kill gu lin who easily evaded all of them shocking his opponent.

"How! This is skill that even 9th star dou zun won't escape!!?"

"Like my master would say "You do not know the vastness of the world!" now I shall you the result of my training."

Xiao shen made sure to train him before heading to Jia ma empire because gu lin had power but lack proper training. It had been several months since then therefore he had better control over his dou qi.

Gradually the dou qi in the surrounding gathers around gu lin surprising the soul hall member. The dou qi itself was moving like it was part of the person body.

"I-Impossible!?? D-Dou saint!?"

He was beyond terrified that backwater place like wu tan city to have an expert of dou saint was simply to unbelievable.

The people around him quiver in fear hearing a dou zun expert said their opponent was not just half saint but a full ledge dou saint.

With the flick of his hands gu lin created a huge wall of flames that devour the rest of the attack. The dou sun used the spatial shift to evade the attack sustaining minor injuries.

'I need to escape to warn the hall master!'

"Trying to escape!?"

Gu lin appeared then used his hand to pierce through his opponent's chest. Being taught by xiao shen, he had become quite brutal unlike the humble child from months before.

He did not want to disappoint his master making sure to burn their soul that they ever able to live again. They were trash who attack the weak and innocent which he hated the most.

"Blurgh! H-how can this be! You bastard will pay with blood!! My hall of soul come an avenge me and no one will be able to stop them!!!"
