Luo Xiao and the two powerful members of the Red Chain Snake Clan possessed formidable strength. Even from a great distance, Patriarch of the Falling Cloud Sect could sense the terrifying aura emanating from Luo Xiao and the two Red Chain Snake Clan members. These were three individuals who were undoubtedly many times stronger than him!
Suddenly, pieces of flesh and bone rained down from the sky, terrifying the ordinary people in the city. They hid inside their houses and dared not come out. For a moment, the streets became deserted.
Patriarch of the Falling Cloud Sect and Lu Liang arrived at Li Jiudao's shop.
"This is... the aura of the Heavenly Snow Cat Clan and the Red Chain Snake Clan!" Patriarch of the Falling Cloud Sect's expression turned solemn. From the scattered flesh and bone on the ground, he could sense the auras of the Heavenly Snow Cat Clan and the Red Chain Snake Clan. These were top-tier beast clans in the central region and were no less formidable than the sacred lands of the human race.
He hadn't expected that powerful members of beast clans like the Heavenly Snow Cat Clan and the Red Chain Snake Clan could be slaughtered instantly, without any resistance. The person responsible for this was truly divine!
"Patriarch, take a look at this 'Dao' character!" Lu Liang pointed to the plaque of the shop.
Patriarch of the Falling Cloud Sect followed Lu Liang's gaze to the plaque. In an instant, his heart trembled. The 'Dao' character contained an unparalleled Dao rhyme, making him feel insignificant. In the face of this 'Dao' character, his own path of cultivation seemed like a mere speck of dust, utterly insignificant!
"What an extraordinary and venerable predecessor!" He was deeply moved, having never experienced such a supreme Dao rhyme before. Lu Liang was not exaggerating; this was an incredibly powerful and unimaginable master.
At this moment, Li Jiudao came out from the backyard, having heard the commotion on the street. He wanted to see what had happened.
Luo Shui also followed him and, upon seeing the scattered flesh and bone in front of the shop, instantly understood everything. Luo Xiao and the Red Chain Snake Clan members had followed them here without learning their lesson from the previous encounter at the willow tree.
"Are they insane? Even if they were the Red Chain Snake Emperor, they would still die here!" Luo Shui couldn't help but sneer in her heart. This place was too terrifying; every item in the shop was undoubtedly a priceless treasure. The power here was unimaginable, and anyone who dared to invade this place would surely perish.
Li Jiudao also saw the scattered flesh and bone in front of his shop and furrowed his brows slightly. The bloody scene and the stench of flesh and bone made him nauseous.
Lu Liang noticed his reaction and waved his hand, instantly collecting all the scattered flesh and bone and removing any traces of blood from the ground. The area in front of the shop became clean.
"These beasts have tainted your place, Mr. Li. It's their fault!" He said with a smile.
Li Jiudao saw Lu Liang wave his hand, and the area in front of his shop became clean again. He couldn't help but feel envious. This old man was indeed a cultivator. Although he might not have great strength and couldn't even handle a large tiger, his abilities were still something to be admired. Even an ordinary cultivator's techniques were something that ordinary people could only look up to.
Li Jiudao thought to himself, "Unfortunately, I don't have the aptitude for cultivation; otherwise, I could ask this old man to teach me."
He continued to muse, "Speaking of which, Xia Yan brought an old man named Wen Wuyou over, and he was quite generous. He gave me a spiritual treasure just for playing a piece of music for him. He must hold a high position in the Taihua Sect."
He recalled Wen Wuyou. Wen Wuyou was even more formidable than Lu Liang, and he belonged to the Taihua Sect. If he had the aptitude for cultivation, following Wen Wuyou into the Taihua Sect would likely be no problem. Unfortunately, he lacked the necessary talent.
"Come to think of it, Wen Wuyou probably sensed that I lacked the aptitude for cultivation, which is why he didn't suggest that I join the Taihua Sect. Otherwise, based on his admiration for my musical skills, he would have definitely wanted me to join the sect..."
Li Jiudao felt somewhat helpless. Talent was crucial in cultivation, and without it, even if one trained their entire life, they could never embark on the path of cultivation.
"It's impolite to talk through the door. Haha, please come inside, and we can chat." Li Jiudao dismissed his thoughts and invited Lu Liang and Patriarch of the Falling Cloud Sect inside.
As for why there were suddenly piles of flesh and bone in front of his shop, he didn't ask. He didn't need to ask...
People from neighboring shops had been discussing the incident all along, and he had overheard everything. It seemed that several bird and beast creatures were fighting over their prey in the sky, and eventually, the prey fell from the sky and was completely ruined.
"Great!" Lu Liang and Patriarch of the Falling Cloud Sect smiled as they entered the shop.
Upon entering, Patriarch of the Falling Cloud Sect was immediately struck by a sense of awe. The entire shop was filled with an incredibly high level of Dao resonance, even more potent than that of a heavenly abode. He had never imagined that such a supreme master existed in the world!
"Later on, we can ponder the Dao, but we can't miss out on Mr. Li's culinary skills. Last time, after having a bowl of rice porridge, my lifespan increased significantly!" Lu Liang hurriedly said to Patriarch of the Falling Cloud Sect.
"Excellent, let's go!" Patriarch of the Falling Cloud Sect's eyes lit up when he heard about the increase in lifespan. That was exactly what he needed most at the moment—more lifespan.
"Oh, it's not for us to eat!" When they arrived in the courtyard, Lu Liang saw Li Jiudao carrying the stewed fish to the little white cat.
He had thought that Li Jiudao was cooking the fish for them, but it turned out to be for a pet cat!
"What is this...!" Patriarch of the Falling Cloud Sect stared fixedly at the plate of stewed fish. Deep within his eyes was a sense of shock.
He sensed an astonishing bloodline power from that fish, coupled with an unimaginable aura of danger! Without a doubt, this was no ordinary fish. How could a fish like this, belonging to the top-tier clans of the Ninth Realm, be used as pet food?
Li Jiudao explained, "These are the fish I just caught today. They're for Little White to eat. Her teeth aren't in good condition, so I stew them for her."
The Falling Cloud Sect's Patriarch was amazed beyond words. These top-tier fish from the Ninth Realm were being used as pet food?
He was too terrified to even contemplate how powerful and formidable this person must be to consider top-tier Ninth Realm fish as pet food.
He didn't dare think further.
