I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

She was truly frightened!

Li Xuan smiled warmly, "As a Taoist Ancestor, am I someone who delights in slaughter?"

Red Cat, Yu Xiaolong, and Little Ha had returned; they were all waiting to watch the excitement unfold.

Whoosh!

Xu Yan hurried back, "Master, I seem to have offended quite a few Realm Masters!"

Upon returning, Xu Yan spoke somewhat embarrassedly.

"It's a minor issue."

Li Xuan remained unperturbed as ever.

"Master, that old dragon has arrived."

Xu Yan looked towards the sky, where a swath of fiery red thunderclouds was rolling in, enveloped in an immense Dragon Might, with a giant dragon speeding towards them.

The Qinghua Great Formation had already been withdrawn at this moment; otherwise, it wouldn't withstand the impact of a powerful being such as Ao Lie and would suffer some degree of damage.

"Xiaoyao, I, Ao Lie, have no quarrel with you, yet you conspired against the True Dragon Clan like this. Since this is the case, don't blame me, Ao Lie, for being ruthless. Come out and meet your end, and let's see what you, the foremost of the Taicang Seven Heroes, are capable of, daring to plot against the True Dragon Clan!"

Ao Lie's angry voice transmitted through the air.

The enormous body of the True Dragon, accompanied by the fiery red thunderclouds, swiftly approached, locking onto Old Man Xiao from afar.

At this moment, Old Man Xiao was numb.

This has nothing to do with me!

I am the head of the Taicang Seven Heroes, praised by all for my exceptional talent, but damn it, I really haven't been monstrous enough to invent the Subduing Dragon Technique!

You're giving me too much credit, Xiaoyao!

At this moment, Li Xuan looked at Xu Yan and slowly said, "The Subduing Dragon Palm, you have cultivated it into Divine Skills, to cultivate the way of the Subduing Dragon, you still have a long way to go.

"Today, you'll witness what the way of the Subduing Dragon truly is, the ultimate realm of Subduing Dragon."

Upon hearing these words, Xu Yan and the others were all stirred up, excited to see their master take action again.

Old Man Xiao and the rest were even more thrilled, having the chance to witness the Taoist Ancestor in action—an immense honor and a tremendous opportunity indeed.

Ao Yuxue too was excited, her face flushing with anticipation, though when she thought about her grandfather being subdued, she grew somewhat concerned.

But then she thought, "Since the Taoist Ancestor has said he is not a person who delights in killing, he definitely won't kill Grandpa. In that case, it might be a good thing for Grandpa to be subdued by the Taoist Ancestor!"

With this in mind, Ao Yuxue's concerns immediately vanished, and her eyes widened in anticipation, eager to see how the Taoist Ancestor would subdue the dragon!

Li Xuan, unruffled, let Ao Lie's Dragon Might surge and rush towards him while he continued to speak, "The way of the Subduing Dragon is already at the level of the Dao, the ultimate goal of cultivation is to ascend to the great Dao.

"After the Holy Sword Realm comes the Sword Dao Realm, with the Dao as the sword and the sword as the Dao, this realm can only be comprehended through one's own talents.

"Once understood, you then carve out your own Dao, just like in the Establishing Dao Realm, establishing your own Dao. Sword Dao too is the same, establishing the way of the sword, your own sword Dao, opening up the grand way of the sword."

Xu Yan listened respectfully, with flashes of enlightenment sparkling in his mind, using the sword as the Dao, Dao as the sword, establishing the way of the sword...

Li Xuan turned to Meng Chong, Su Lingxiu, Fang Hao, and Jiang Buping, "Blade Path is the same, ultimately, Martial Arts converge to the same end, all are about ascending to the great Dao."

Old Man Xiao and the others were also stirred up inside; these were pointers from the Taoist Ancestor himself.

Yu Yao was greatly astonished but seemed to have some realizations, yet it was too profound, and she couldn't fully comprehend its significance for a while.

But she knew for sure that the real powerhouse here, Xu Yan's master, was the young man sitting in the chair, served by a beautiful sea spirit by his side.

"Xiaoyao, come on, let's battle!"

At that moment, Ao Lie was almost upon Qinghua City, his Dragon Might rippling outwards. The martial artists of Qinghua City couldn't help but tremble, though fear was absent from their faces; the trembling was an uncontrollable reaction to the Dragon Might.

Because with the Taoist Ancestor present, they feared nothing!

"Watch closely."

Li Xuan said with a light chuckle.

Everyone's eyes widened in excitement, waiting for the Taoist Ancestor to subdue the dragon.

Ao Yuxue was no different, her fingers tapping against each other, her face flushed, and her head raised, eager to see how the Taoist Ancestor would subdue her grandfather!

Li Xuan lifted his hand and gently waved, and to everyone's astonishment, auspicious purple clouds descended from the firmament, and a purple-golden dragon, upon the clouds, approached, its large eyes emanating supreme majesty.

As the Purple-Golden Dragon descended, there was no overwhelming Dragon Might felt, yet there was an aura of inviolable dignity and benign vastness.

Ao Lie was stunned; he felt all his scales rising on end, with his dragon whiskers trembling. Within the auspicious purple clouds, the body of the purple-golden dragon appeared both hidden and visible, manifesting a thousand zhang in front of his head.

Its massive dragon head, with eyes vast and majestic, coldly stared at him.

"Fiend, how dare you be so impudent!"

A voice of utmost majesty resounded.

Ao Lie swallowed hard; he suddenly realized that the purple-golden dragon had nine claws—the Nine-Clawed Purple-Golden Dragon!

He looked at his own claws; he had only five, while the purple-golden dragon had nine. What was more terrifying was that the Dragon Might felt like it originated from the bloodline, soul-deep, suppressing him.

The Dragon Might was unfathomable, yet it carried a sense of vast benevolence.

Thud!

Ao Lie knelt on the spot, "Ao Lie pays respects to the Ancestral Dragon, pays respects to the ancestor!"

"This is the highest realm of Subduing Dragon, to subdue the dragon as a dragon, to become the forefather of the True Dragons!"

Xu Yan muttered to himself, he had an epiphany, so this was the way of the Subduing Dragon Technique.

Old Man Xiao and Yu Yao were stunned, staring at the Purple-Golden Dragon, completely bewildered. Could the subjugation by the Taoist Ancestor be so forthright and simple?

"Where does this dragon come from?"

In her befuddlement, Yu Yao couldn't help but voice her doubts.

The others upon hearing this also showed looks of puzzlement.

"The Dao! The great Dao!"

Li Xuan spoke profoundly and inscrutably, in the manner of the Taoist Ancestor.

"Xiaoyao, come meet your death quickly!"

The voice of the Seductive Witch, full of murderous intent, came through, and a pink light was rapidly approaching.

Old Man Xiao's mouth twitched, and he simply couldn't be bothered to reply.

"Go, suppress her."

The majestic voice of the Purple-Golden Dragon rose again.

"Yes, ancestor!"

Ao Lie let out a roar and charged directly at the Seductive Witch.

"Seductive Witch, you brazen hag, I'm going to suppress you!"

"Ao Lie, you..."

The Seductive Witch was furious and astonished. Had Ao Lie actually betrayed their cause?

Behind her, the voice of the Giant Demon came through, "Ao Lie might have been subdued!"

"Die!"

Ao Lie roared, striking wildly. With the ancestor present, there was no need to fear the Charm Power of the seductive hag.

"I'll block him!"

The Giant Demon let out a low growl, revealing his true form. His massive body was enshrouded in demonic qi, his arms covered in frightening scale armor, with a single black horn on his forehead.

With a thunderous boom, the Giant Demon blocked Ao Lie's attack.

"Subduing Dragon, Dragon Control, so this is how it works!"

Seeing this scene, Xu Yan once again had a moment of realization.

The Purple-Golden Dragon had already disappeared, and Li Xuan continued to look unruffled, his face bearing a kind smile, watching the approaching Seductive Witch.

"Xiaoyao, you deserve to die!"

The Seductive Witch struck, first setting her sights on Old Man Xiao. Pink light wafted out, petals emerged, and a unique power surged forth.

"Seductive Witch, this is not the place for you to act recklessly!"

Old Man Xiao said sternly.

In his words was the implication that in the presence of the Taoist Ancestor, the Seductive Witch had no place to be wild, but in her ears, it was Xiaoyao's arrogance, as if he was scolding her, and his tone seemed like that of reprimanding a junior!

The Seductive Witch was even more infuriated. The pink petals turned into a vortex, filled with seductive and devouring powers, hurtling towards her target.

Old Man Xiao was incensed. He had always been laid-back, not bothering with the affairs of the Domain. But now, one after another, they sought to stomp over his head, completely disregarding the head of the Taicang Seven Heroes!

How would he live up to the renown of Taicang Seven Heroes if he did not display his might today?

"Seductive Witch!"

At that moment, Old Man Xiao's aura was formidable. He confronted her head-on, and with a raise of his hand, he unleashed an overwhelming might, instantly blasting open the pink vortex with a huge fist imprint.

Boom!

Old Man Xiao and the Seductive Witch erupted into a fierce battle, with strong shockwaves occasionally reverberating down, but as they neared Qinghua City, all traces of the shockwaves vanished into nothingness.

In the distance, Ao Lie and the Giant Demon battled fiercely, while above Qinghua City, Xiaoyao and the Seductive Witch fought, neither gaining the upper hand for the moment.

After all, the Seductive Witch was a formidable being of the Witch Demon Domain, one of the Minor Heaven and Earth Masters, much stronger than an ordinary Realm Master.

But Old Man Xiao was no less extraordinary. As the head of the Taicang Seven Heroes, having received guidance from Taicang, his strength was greater than that of the usual Minor Heaven and Earth Master.

"Seductive Witch, let me help you!"

Boom!

The Li Witch rushed over, and in a blink, revealed her true form. Her muscles bulged, steaming heat swirled around her, transforming into a small giant, displaying her savage strength.

Yu Yao waved her hand, a wisp of white cold light shot forth, intercepting the Li Witch.
