After experiencing the punishment at Qingwu Blessed Land, his father, Elder Xiao, took Xiao Shang and his mother Xie Nianci to the South Sea Sea Eye.
However, resentment had long taken root in Xiao Shang's heart, and he was not willing to accept that just because of an outsider, their Xiao Family received such treatment.
After his persistent pleading, Elder Xiao took him to visit the Mang Mountain Branch of the Taiyi Sect, to investigate information about Lu Yan.
Eventually, they learned that Lu Yan was merely an outer sect disciple who had paid to enter the Taiyi Sect, not even considered a formal disciple.
Upon learning this information, Elder Xiao, who was ready to resign himself to fate, decisively changed his mind.
As an elder at the peak of the Golden Core, Elder Xiao had his own pride.
He could accept being oppressed by disciples of a major sect with a deep background, as he himself had done similar things, using his status as an elder of the Cyan Simurgh Sect to wantonly bully people from outside sects.
But Elder Xiao could not accept being dispatched to the South Sea Sea Eye because of a mere outer disciple of the Taiyi Sect who was pretending to be powerful.
Thus, the Xiao Family group sought out information about Lu Yan, confirmed that Lu Yan would pass through this place, and lay in ambush to kill him.
As long as Lu Yan was killed, they would immediately escape overseas.
As long as they were not found by the sect, with their cultivation at the peak of the Golden Core, it would be enough to establish dominance in a region, and after seizing Lu Yan's opportunities, they could even potentially glimpse into the Nascent Soul Realm.
The plan was all clear, and as for how to kill Lu Yan, it became the least important part of the entire plan.
No one would believe that Lu Yan had the ability to counter-kill two Golden Core real people.
Yet just moments ago, Xiao Shang personally witnessed the most terrifying scene of his life.
Lu Yan wielded a Black Gold Banner, summoned thousands of Yin Soldiers and Ghost Generals to slaughter two Golden Core real people, even though Golden Core real people are considered distinguished within the Cyan Simurgh Sect, in front of Lu Yan they were like two small bugs, crushed at will.
The resentment in Xiao Shang's heart instantly transformed into fear.
He dared not flee, nor dared he to peek, using every means possible to seal himself within the Colorful Cloud Poison, hoping to use it to evade Lu Yan's detection.
As time passed by the second, Xiao Shang never sensed anyone touching the Colorful Cloud Poison, and his fear gradually eased with time.
"Lu... he... should be gone, right?"
This thought rose from the depths of Xiao Shang's heart, thankful that he narrowly escaped, while at the same time, the twisted emotions of resentment and anger in his heart surged again.
"Summoning a thousand Yin Soldiers and Ghost Generals with a wave, I've heard in rumors, only that Underworld Envoy who slayed more than ten Nascent Soul True Monarch Demon Kings and established the Nine Nether Immortal City could do it.
But the strength he showed doesn't resemble that Underworld Envoy, is there some secret? Or could he be the second Underworld Envoy?"
The twisted emotions in his heart continued to spread, Xiao Shang muttered grimly:
"After I escape, I must make this news public!"
"So many real people and True Monarchs have a grudge against the Underworld Envoy, once the news is released, he is doomed!"
"I want him dead, I want him to be buried with my parents!"
As Xiao Shang muttered nonsensically, he unlocked the Colorful Cloud Poison, attempting to see the situation outside.
But the moment the cloud dispersed, a familiar figure stood before the Colorful Cloud Poison, looking at him with a smile.
A fair hand gently rested on Xiao Shang's head, swallowed by fear, Xiao Shang couldn't muster any resistance.
In an instant, the True Spirit was annihilated, soul scattered.
