Digging up spiritual roots and seizing blood? You scumbags, wait and tremble.

However, this was the first time Zhong Yan had used such a powerful divine ability to summon a Dharma form, and he was unable to control it well at all.

Those trapped inside could only be subjected to indiscriminate attacks.

"Young master, we are just passing by and have no grudge against you. Please let us go."

Some people felt their strength and vitality draining away, and were terrified.

If they had known that watching the commotion would lead to this trouble, they would never have come over.

As for the powerful figures in the City Lord's Mansion? They couldn't even move at this moment, let alone shout.

The fear in their eyes was impossible to dispel. They never dreamed that they would be driven to such a predicament by a mere youth.

He couldn't shout at all, not even using his divine sense to speak; he could only helplessly beg for mercy with his eyes.

However, Zhong Yan had already activated the stone tablet, naturally as a warning to others, to prevent these people from constantly causing trouble and affecting his sister's cultivation and advancement.

So even though he understood their gazes, he had no intention of stopping.

As for those who were caught in the crossfire? Well, they were just unlucky.

Just as they were about to activate the stone tablet to kill all of these people, Zhong Ran and Mu Jinning exchanged a glance and whispered at the same time, "Xiao Yan, wait."

The two figures flashed and appeared next to the powerful onlookers, kicking them away one by one.

Zhong Ran showed no unusual reaction, remaining the same as usual.

A small sapling appeared behind Mu Jinning; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to withstand the terrifying pressure of the stone tablet, which also contained a devouring power.

Lou Ying's expression changed repeatedly as she once again protected Zhong Zhihong and the others, retreating backward.

Fortunately, Zhong Yan's power was directed at those in front; while those behind felt the pressure, it wasn't as terrifying as the ones in front.

The leaders of various factions within the city were alarmed and came out to watch from afar, their faces showing fear.

"What is that? How can it be so terrifying?"

Even though they were so far away, they felt the pressure.

It should be noted that the lowest level among them is the Integration Realm, and the strongest among them are two experts at the Great Ascension Realm.

Even they felt the pressure; it was too eerie.

"Look, doesn't it look like the legendary Monument to Life and Death?"

"What? The Monument to Life and Death?"

Everyone was shocked. The Monument to Life and Death was a legendary object, said to be a treasure of the underworld.

One yin and one yang, one life and one death, hence the name "Monument to Life and Death".

It makes life and death hang in the balance, a truly terrifying prospect.

However, the Monument to Life and Death has long since disappeared into the annals of history. Now, it is only recorded in some secret manuals, but no one has ever seen it.

At this moment, the large stone tablet that Zhong Yan summoned was half black and half white, and the terrifying pressure emanating from it truly frightened them.

"He doesn't seem to be very skilled yet," a powerful figure said in a low voice.

"What, you're thinking of making a move?" another person sneered.

The man's expression changed. Putting aside the fact that not just anyone can control and recognize a monument to life and death as their master.

Just imagine, Zhong Yan possesses the Monument of Life and Death; who would dare approach him?

One careless move and you could lose your life.

"Who exactly are they? Haven't you all seen them before?"

"She looks very unfamiliar."

"Have you noticed that they're all very young? That kid's bone age is only around twenty-two, and that girl..."

"The number one genius, Zhong Yan! And Zhong Ran and her brother!"

Everyone gasped in surprise, their eyes widening in astonishment.

Such young geniuses were known only to the Zhong siblings.

Both siblings are prodigies. Zhong Ran is a seventh-level alchemist, a seventh-level talisman master, and a seventh-level array master, ranking first on the potential list and the talent list, and third on the popularity list.

Zhong Yan may not be as outstanding as Zhong Ran, but his combat strength is number one on the Wind and Cloud Ranking.

How many geniuses did these two siblings, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, suppress?

Although everyone had heard of the siblings' reputation, very few people had actually met them.

That's why their expressions changed when they finally guessed it.

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief, never expecting that the extraordinary siblings would actually come here.

They were still in Tianji City a while ago, and there was no news of them leaving, but they suddenly appeared here.

"Old Lei, how did your city lord's mansion get into trouble with them?"

An old man asked curiously, "I heard that the old men in the Array Master Guild dote on that girl. Anyone who dares to provoke her is going against the Array Master Guild."

Lord Lei's face alternated between pale and flushed, and between bright and dim light.

He was aware of the previous conflict, but didn't know much about it.

Regardless of who is right or wrong, it certainly can't be the people in his city lord's mansion who are at fault.

As the lords of a city, the Lei family had the confidence to do so.

But today we've run into a brick wall.

His eyes flickered with light, unwilling to admit their own mistakes.

"Is it Zhong Ran, the little genius?"

A voice boomed like thunder, and several more old men suddenly appeared, staring in astonishment at the enormous black and white monument.

"The Monument to Life and Death!"

"Is it really the Monument to Life and Death?"

"He hasn't fully mastered controlling the Monument of Life and Death yet, otherwise all of us..."

"What 'Monument to Life and Death'?"

Some people have heard of the Monument to Life and Death, but most have never heard of it.

Hearing this, he inquired out of curiosity.

But only the old folks truly knew, and no one had time to explain it to them at that moment.

After kicking out the wronged passersby who had been wrongly accused, Zhong Ran and Mu Jinning quickly slipped out of the room as well.

Although I wasn't afraid, I felt extremely uncomfortable.

When she heard someone ask her a question, she looked up.

Old Cheng flashed over, took out his Array Master Guild badge, and joined the Array Master Guild on this side.

Afterwards, he explained the previous conflicts without bias.

This was not their fault in the first place. They had no reason to be bullied like this and not fight back, letting others humiliate them.

"what!"

A scream rang out, and beneath the stone tablet, all the powerful figures from the City Lord's Mansion turned into blood mist and were swallowed by the Life and Death Stele.

Even their primordial spirits couldn't escape; they were utterly dead.

If they still have clones outside, they will also be affected in this situation, and their strength will be greatly reduced.

The faces of City Lord Lei and the other powerful figures in the City Lord's Mansion turned extremely ugly. The City Lord's Mansion had been humiliated badly today.

Unfortunately, they can't do anything about it.

At this point, apologizing is the right thing to do. If Zhong Yan continues to go mad, the entire City Lord's Mansion will disappear from Thunder City.

Moreover, now that members of the Array Masters Guild have stepped forward, even a city lord wouldn't dare offend the guild.

Zhong Yan put away the stone tablet. Instead of feeling tired, he was in high spirits and his breathing had improved.

Those who turned into blood mist were all powerful beings. They were devoured by the Monument of Life and Death, and it also fed back some of their power to him, and it was the purest power of all.

That feeling was so comfortable.

"Anyone else want to come up and die?" he roared, his eyes sweeping over the surrounding cultivators.
