The Orochi was startled as it looked at one of its heads, unable to believe what had occurred.

"How is this possible? How could your attack have harmed me?" The Orochi, a soul-body creature, was immune to all physical attacks, yet Li Xiaoyao's sword had indeed sliced off one of its heads.

"You know nothing, ignorant as you are of my methods," Li Xiaoyao said, shaking his head mockingly. He followed up with several more slashes, his sword qi slashing forcefully, instantly severing several more heads. In contrast, the Orochi was entirely powerless to resist, being utterly overwhelmed by Li Xiaoyao.

This feeling of frustration made the Orochi furiously angry, roaring continuously.

As each head of the Orochi was cut off, it immediately vaporized into a null essence and merged back into its body. Although Li Xiaoyao's sword qi had decapitated him, it was unable to harm him fundamentally.

"I cannot be killed, you cannot kill me!" The Orochi laughed maniacally as its heads were chopped off and just as quickly regrew.

"Is that so?" Li Xiaoyao swung his sword again, chopping off three more heads at once, and stood on the ground looking up at the Orochi in the sky.

If Li Xiaoyao wanted to kill him, it would be as simple as flipping his hand. However, doing so would be a waste. In Li Xiaoyao's eyes, the Orochi was a powerful tonic. If he could consume it, his spiritual power would surge enormously.

"Out of moves, are you? Now, it's my turn!" The Orochi was filled with murderous intent, having just been dominated by Li Xiaoyao, the humiliation fueling its rage.

Though the Orochi's body was massive, it did not hinder its agility in the slightest; its tail flicked and it instantly reached Li Xiaoyao's front.

"Die, man of Xuan Country!" The Orochi roared angrily, its jaws wide open, lunging to bite Li Xiaoyao.

"I've been waiting for you," Li Xiaoyao said with a grin, as his left hand suddenly reached out, revealing a glass bottle that shimmered with a sinister green light held in his palm.

Lightly uttering the word "Capture!" from his mouth, an irresistible suction force was released from the mouth of the bottle, catching the Orochi off-guard. In the next moment, the Orochi could only let out a wretched scream before it was sucked into the green bottle.

There were many ways for Li Xiaoyao to kill the Orochi, but to subjugate and refine it required the use of the Mysterious System.

This eerily green bottle, known as the Fiend-Refining Flask, could easily subjugate and refine any creature weaker than Li Xiaoyao.

Li Xiaoyao shook the Fiend-Refining Flask in his hand a bit before casually storing it in his Storage Ring.

Qiye Chuan, watching from a distance as the Orochi seemed about to devour Li Xiaoyao, was suddenly, mysteriously, sucked into the small green bottle, sending a shiver through his body as he turned to flee.

Li Xiaoyao stepped forward, arriving in front of him. Qiye Chuan began to plead for mercy, but the sharp Ancient Sword in Li Xiaoyao's hand greeted him instead.

The Seven Star Ancient Sword pierced through his chest, lifting him into the air and flying towards the direction of the arena.

Since Li Xiaoyao's departure, the people in the viewing stands were eager to leave but dared not move, remembering the poison he had mentioned.

Loud disturbances continued to emanate without the spectators knowing what was happening.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, the sound of a swift sword cleaving the air came from the sky, and everyone looked up. They saw a Precious Sword, carrying the body of a man, swiftly flying towards them.

"Bang!"

The Ancient Sword fell from the sky, impaling Qiye Chuan's body firmly in the one remaining patch of open ground in the center of the arena.

There was dead silence in the venue. Though the audience had been numbed, the sight of the Qianye Clan Leader being executed in such a manner still left them feeling bone-chillingly cold.

A figure slowly appeared beside the Ancient Sword, and the pupils of the crowd sharply contracted in response. Li Xiaoyao's terrifying speed filled them with fear.

Gripping the hilt, he slowly drew the Ancient Sword. With a single move, he appeared in front of the Great Elder below the stage.

The Great Elder, startled by Li Xiaoyao's sudden appearance in front of him, almost fell backward.

"Buzz~"

The tip of the sword pressed against the Great Elder's throat, and Li Xiaoyao's icy voice rang in his ear, "Zhang Meng, where is she?"

"She... she's in Zhu Island City, at the Huo Family."

"Zhu Island City's Huo Family?" Li Xiaoyao asked, "Be more specific."

"If I tell you, can you let me go?"

"Puchi!" The Ancient Sword pierced through his right shoulder, and the Great Elder let out a piercing scream. Li Xiaoyao said coldly, "You have no right to bargain with me."

"I'll talk, I'll talk." Beneath the shadow of death, the Great Elder told everything there was to tell about the Huo Family in Zhu Island City, clearly and quickly.

After getting the details, Li Xiaoyao's wrist moved slightly, and his sword blade slid across the Great Elder's neck. Blood gushed out wildly, and the Great Elder clutched his throat as the life quickly slipped from his body.

The onlookers on the platform held their breath, not daring to make a sound.

Li Xiaoyao moved like an assassin in the night, his methods of killing terrifying to all; a look, a gesture, were enough to make them crumble mentally.

Li Xiaoyao sheathed the Ancient Sword and looked at Qianye Zhiya, saying, "Come here."

Zhiya looked around to confirm Li Xiaoyao was speaking to her, her heart racing as she quickly walked forward with small, hurried steps.

"From today on, you will be the Clan Leader of the Qianye Family." Li Xiaoyao's voice wasn't loud, yet it was just enough for everyone to hear.

"I... I can't do it," Zhiya shook her head repeatedly, waving her hands while those around looked on in envy. Why should an ordinary girl like her control the vast Qianye Family?

Li Xiaoyao looked at her and said, "If I say you can, then you can. Whoever disagrees, kill them."

"I... I..." Zhiya wanted to refuse again, but Li Xiaoyao interrupted her, "What I say cannot be changed by anyone; the Qianye Family, from now on, is in your hands. From this day forward, you only take orders from me. Understand?"

Once Zhiya calmed down, she realized she couldn't refuse.

Firstly, Li Xiaoyao was too powerful. If she defied him, he might just kill her and replace her with someone else. In Li Xiaoyao's eyes, whoever became the Clan Leader of the Qianye Family was merely a symbol.

Secondly, if she could sit in the position of the Clan Leader, it would mean possessing supreme authority. Remembering how she had been manipulated by her parents without any way to resist, a desire for revenge surged in Zhiya's heart.

The chance to change her life was right before her eyes, and if she missed it, she might never get another in her lifetime.

"Zhiya understands," Zhiya said respectfully.

"Hmm, very good." Li Xiaoyao nodded, took out a Pill Medicine, and handed it to Zhiya, "This is an antidote for the poison. Every once in a while, I will send someone to deliver the antidote to you."

This statement made it clear that it was intended for those families participating in the annual meeting—he could use the poison to control them and ensure their absolute obedience.

If they dared to have a second thought, they'd die from the poison, dissolving into a puddle of foul water.
