253: Let’s go, Mirror Clan!

After fully absorbing the bloodline energy, the figure waved a hand, dispelling the formation and restoring the main hall to its original state.

“Come!”

The figure’s voice rang out, neither loud nor soft, yet exceptionally clear.

It echoed from within the hall, notifying those he wished to inform.

And so, the other figure who had previously retreated appeared, offering congratulations as soon as he entered, “Congratulations, Clan Head, on your greatly increased cultivation!”

The figure nodded, his eyes filled with eagerness from the effects of the collected bloodline energy.

If things continued this way, he might truly have a chance to break through to the Ancestor Realm.

Moreover, the Xuan Clan’s matter, delays could lead to complications…

Lost in thought, the figure walked out of the hall, followed closely by the other figure.

Looking at the scene within the clan, and after a moment of contemplation.

He immediately gave orders, “Notify everyone! Clan cultivators are to prepare immediately! Our target is the Mirror Clan!”

“Understood!”

That figure was none other than Ming Ya, the Clan Head of the Ming Clan, as for the other.

If Chen De were here, he would find him incredibly familiar.

For this person was precisely the Black-Robed Figure who had battled Chen De multiple times.

Just as they were making preparations, someone reported to Ming Ya that there was a situation outside.

A person was flying towards their Ming Clan territory.

Normally, such a minor matter wouldn't need to be reported to him, the Ming Clan Head.

But the person leading this time was not of ordinary status.

It was Xiao Linger, the younger sister of Xiao Dou, the Clan Head of the Eight Clans' current most powerful clan on the surface, and she herself was a Piming Realm Fifth Level cultivator.

Such a person could not be simply dismissed.

Furthermore, it was a special time; they had just annihilated the Xuan Clan and were now preparing to annihilate the Mirror Clan.

According to Ming Ya's plan, if the bloodline extraction technique proved powerful enough.

He would eliminate the Eight Clans one by one, from weakest to strongest.

In his plan, if sufficient, the Xiao Clan would be the last clan he dealt with.

If not sufficient, the Xiao Clan would still be the second to last clan he dealt with.

Engaging with the Xiao Clan now would not give him much advantage.

Although his strength had increased significantly, he was still within the Piming Realm Ninth Level.

Moreover, at the Piming Realm Ninth Level, the closest to an Ancestor Realm expert, the battle power boost from bloodline was no longer as substantial.

It was just that their inherited cultivation technique became stronger the stronger their bloodline was.

That was why his absorption of bloodline energy this time resulted in such a significant boost.

Previously, his bloodline accounted for only about ten percent of his battle power.

But after absorption, the bloodline's contribution to his battle power was approaching fifty percent.

This was not merely a five-fold increase; it was an overall enhancement of his total battle power.

For example, if his original battle power was one hundred, with the bloodline accounting for ten percent.

Now his battle power was one hundred eighty, with the bloodline accounting for fifty percent.

Calculating it, the bloodline's contribution to his battle power was actually more than five times greater.

He was certain that if he were to strike again now, Xiao Dou would definitely not be his opponent.

However, Xiao Dou's original strength was already somewhat greater than his.

Therefore, the gap between the two of them was not yet so vast as to render one utterly incapable of retaliation.

Since absorbing bloodline energy could bring him such a significant improvement.

Ming Ya was perfectly willing to wait a bit longer, and only make a move against Xiao Dou when his strength was more or less sufficient.

So, after some thought, he still had someone invite the person from outside in.

The other party dared to come alone, so they definitely weren't here to cause trouble.

Ming Ya speculated that it was highly probable the matter of the Xuan Clan had come to light, and they wished to inform him.

Perhaps, there might even be an invitation to discuss this matter.

For such a significant event, having the Clan Head's younger sister deliver the notice was quite weighty enough.

Of course, this was also inextricably linked to the strength of their Ming Clan.

As Clan Head, Ming Ya naturally wouldn't personally go to greet her.

Moreover, his formidable power also gave him the capital for pride.

Thus, Ming Ya intended to quietly await her arrival where he stood.

Suddenly, a tremendous commotion came from afar.

Ming Ya sensed it briefly and understood that a Piming Realm cultivator was making a move within his Ming Clan territory.

The one who struck was none other than Xiao Linger of the Xiao Clan.

Everyone else's strength was far inferior to Ming Ya's, but now they also understood what was happening over there.

For a moment, all the Ming Clan members felt a sense of indignation, even a bit of fury.

Who dared to be so audacious as to run to their Ming Clan and act wildly?

It had been a million years, and this was the very first time such a thing had happened today!

Even the weakest of the Eight Clans, the Xuan Clan, had never done such a thing before they started their cleansing!

This wasn't just killing their people; it was slapping them in the face!

Ming Ya, however, thought a bit more deeply; after all, among the Eight Clans, there were not many forces capable of eliminating the Xuan Clan without either side summoning their Ancestors.

His Ming Clan could definitely be counted as one.

Was the other party's high-profile action a form of probing?

Immediately, Ming Ya dismissed this thought; probing, how could one probe like this?

He had no evidence; this was creating a major enmity!

Then, Ming Ya flashed, appearing several thousand miles away.

The Black-Robed Figure followed closely, and then all the Ming Clan's Piming Realm cultivators followed suit.

When Ming Ya arrived at that location, he saw Xiao Linger wantonly destroying everything.

Facing his Ming Clan members, whether they were Heaven Profound Realm, Di Gang Realm, or Divine Infant Realm cultivators.

Without exception, they were like helpless chicks before Xiao Linger, utterly unable to retaliate, and were wantonly slaughtered by her.

Seeing this scene, although Ming Ya did not care about the lives of these clan members.

But these were, after all, his Ming Clan people, and possibly even one of the sources of his bloodline energy.

How could Xiao Linger be so presumptuous in front of him?

He immediately made a move, intending to suppress Xiao Linger.

However, Ming Ya still held back a bit, not truly intending to kill Xiao Linger.

It was still the same line; he did not want to officially clash with the Xiao Clan right now.

In a few days, he would be able to eliminate the remaining clans one by one.

There was absolutely no need to do anything attention-grabbing at this time, bringing his Ming Clan into the public eye.

How terrifying was Ming Ya's strength now after his improvement?

The original Xiao Linger was no match for Ming Ya, let alone the current Ming Ya?

With just one move, Xiao Linger was utterly defenseless.

She couldn't even react to Ming Ya's attack.

By the time she realized it, she had already been hit.

Her internal organs were shattered, she vomited blood, and retreated hundreds of miles.

One move, just one move, almost made Xiao Linger lose her combat ability.

Of course, if Xiao Linger were still the normal Xiao Linger.

This move would have been completely fine.

And Ming Ya would have gotten the result he wanted.

But the current Xiao Linger was no longer the Xiao Linger of the past.
