Meanwhile, far below her, Xiao Tian had already arrived in the city of Chang’an. His steps were unhurried. Yet each movement carried sharp awareness. After walking around for quite some time, the impression he gathered became clear: this city had no ruler. There was not a single leader directing the course of life. The city streets were bustling with merchants, but there were no signs of binding authority. No symbols of power, no banners flying high. Everything functioned under an unspoken law born from fear and self-interest. The merchants relied solely on the protection of the Four Directions Sect—but even that was no absolute guarantee. Protection was given only if payment was made. If not, they would not be disturbed, but neither would they be saved. They lived in a system without a system. A form of uncertainty that had been left to take root. A fragile balance that could collapse at any time from a single malicious intent strong enough. However, Xiao Tian did not care much

Her gaze pierced deep into the hearts of those still standing, their bodies trembling. There was no room for defense. No strength to lift their heads. Even now, the air itself seemed too afraid to flow in the presence of someone as exalted as Xiaoxiao. Silence wrapped around them like a death shroud that could never be drawn back. No sound. No whisper of wind. As if the universe itself understood that one mistake would trigger the end of life. Her hand moved again. With a single light sweep, all the divine rings floated off the fingers and bodies of the newly summoned members of the Black Desert. There was no resistance. No surprise. The rings seemed to sever their bonds with their owners, as if admitting they had pledged themselves to the wrong hands. They hovered in the air, spinning in a perfect spiral, casting circular shadows like a silent dance in the blood-stained sky of the hall. Their movement wasn’t hurried, yet it was precise—like a final dance of honor before their loyal

Everyone remaining in the room shuddered. Their heartbeats were erratic. Even those who tried to hold their breath could no longer control their bodies. The atmosphere shifted. The room that had once been filled with a dominating aura now felt like a silent execution chamber, where time itself seemed frozen in tension. “Though you are quite strong,” Xiaoxiao's voice came slowly but firmly, as if each word carried the pressure of a thousand mountains, “at your age—already five thousand years—you are still stagnant as a Heavenly God King. Talent like yours will never be of use to me. Now, all of you... die!” There was no movement. No signal. Xiaoxiao simply blinked. But in that blink, the balance of existence collapsed. There was no wind, no rumble, not even a flash of light. Yet the result shook the space. In an instant, everyone in the room was reduced to a mist of blood. Not a single one remained. Not even their bones could withstand it. Only droplets of blood hovered in the air

Xiaoxiao stared at him blankly. Her gaze held neither anger nor mercy. “Who I am is none of your business. What you need to explain now is this—why are you kidnapping people? Profiting from selling humans shouldn’t be necessary for you! After all, you belong to a Clan with limitless resources. The kind of treasures your men have been seizing should mean nothing to you, yet you still do this! Are you deliberately trying to cause chaos, or are you searching for a specific kind of body? The useful ones you keep, and the useless ones you sell.” Her tone remained light, but the weight behind each word landed like a heavy hammer. The atmosphere grew even more suffocating. The surviving members of the organization bowed lower. Their bodies trembled, and some could no longer stand. The masked man looked at the little girl with rising tension. In his panic, he tried to activate his bloodline power. His body shook violently as energy surged, forcefully breaking through rank boundaries. With

Xiaoxiao raised her index finger. The movement was gentle, but filled with authority. Instantly, everyone fell silent, as if invisible strings had tied their voices. Some even clutched their own throats, realizing that their voices had truly vanished—not out of fear, but because they were forced into silence by a single gesture from the little girl. The room returned to silence, broken only by the sound of the girl chewing her food. She continued eating the meal before her, paying no attention to the horrified stares directed at her. Occasionally, she let out a small sigh of satisfaction, as if the room had belonged to her all along. There was no pressure in her actions, but that was precisely what made everyone even more terrified. Because she wasn’t trying to intimidate anyone—yet the world around them crumbled on its own, simply because of her presence. The leader of the Black Desert organization gritted his teeth. Despite the overwhelming pressure, he refused to show fear. Wi

Blood splattered in all directions, staining the clothes of the nearest members. Charred flesh, scorched by an unknown energy, clung to the banquet table. A severed arm remained on the chair's armrest, while the head was nowhere to be found. The explosion was clean, precise, as if the will to kill had manifested into an absolute blast. The metallic scent of blood quickly filled the air. The serving women stifled their screams, none daring to move. Their bodies froze in fear. Some covered their mouths, while others bowed their heads, not daring to look. Meanwhile, other members of the Black Desert Organization stood rigid. Some began stepping back slowly, but their movements were halted by the chilling aura enveloping the room. No one knew exactly what they were facing, but all of them realized—this was no ordinary child. In the next few seconds, the room turned into a field of tension. Those who had laughed moments before were now motionless, not even blinking. Their faces were tig
