Li Xiao's face was twisted with an extremely fierce expression. His foot, like a massive mountain, pressed down with an overwhelming force, suddenly stamping towards Lu Tianyu's head.

"Haha, little brat, you can't blame anyone for your death. Who made you dare to oppose the Wang family?" As his foot descended, Li Xiao couldn't help but mutter to himself, and a scene of extreme excitement appeared in his mind, as if he could already see a seventh-grade golden pill shining in front of him.

"Bang, bang!" Under the pressure from Li Xiao's right foot, Lu Tianyu's head made a series of thudding sounds. Fresh blood gushed out from his eyes, ears, and nose, obscuring his vision, making it impossible for him to see Li Xiao's hideous and fierce face clearly.

But at this moment, Lu Tianyu felt an intense sense of injustice. He didn't want to die so unjustly and confusedly.

"Little demon, come out!" In this life-or-death moment, Lu Tianyu roared in his mind.

"Whoosh!" As soon as Lu Tianyu's words fell, the nine-eyed demon beast, which had been hiding in his consciousness, transformed into a white lightning bolt and charged madly towards Li Xiao's foot.

At the same time, as the nine-eyed demon beast emerged from Lu Tianyu's consciousness, it quickly revealed its true form, with nine strange eyes opening simultaneously. Beams of light of different colors shot out from the eyes, merging into a colorful shield that blocked above Lu Tianyu's head.

"Boom!" Li Xiao's right foot also stomped down at this moment, accompanied by a deafening sound. The colorful shield in front shattered instantly, and the head of the nine-eyed demon beast collided heavily with Li Xiao's foot.

"Ah!" Taken by surprise, Li Xiao's foot was instantly pierced by the nine-eyed demon beast's invincible head, creating a thumb-sized blood hole. Blood spurted out, and Li Xiao couldn't help but let out a painful howl, quickly moving his right foot and retreating ten meters away.

"Zhi zhi!" The nine-eyed demon beast, hit by Li Xiao's powerful stomp, also flew backward, landing heavily beside Lu Tianyu, creating a deep pit in the ground. Blood continuously flowed from its forehead, quickly staining its white fur red, forming a red "meat ball."

Although the nine-eyed demon beast was of a high grade, it was still in the growth stage of a young one, with low strength, and was no match for Li Xiao. However, with its powerful physical body and the strong defensive strike, it caught Li Xiao off guard, causing him significant harm and successfully saving Lu Tianyu's life.

"Zhi zhi" The nine-eyed demon beast lay in the pit beside Lu Tianyu, emitting painful howls, its eyes gradually dimming. Clearly, after being stomped by Li Xiao, it had lost the ability to fight.

"I didn't expect this little brat to have such a great fortune, to have a powerful demon beast recognize him as its master. Therefore, he must not be allowed to live. If not, he will surely become a major threat to me in the future." Li Xiao's eyes turned bloodshot as he stared at Lu Tianyu, determined to kill him.

Lu Tianyu was an extremely rare five-element chaotic body on the Divine Wasteland Continent, with an unlimited future. Moreover, he had a deep fortune that ordinary people could not match, having a high-grade demon beast recognize him as its master. If given enough time to grow, Li Xiao believed that it would be extremely difficult to kill him in the future. Therefore, he must be eliminated as soon as possible.

With the killing intent in his eyes spreading wildly, Li Xiao moved and charged towards Lu Tianyu again without hesitation.

"Master, please, don't let Grandpa Li kill him!" At this moment, Xiao Yu suddenly struggled to free herself from the middle-aged woman's embrace, pleading desperately.

Just as Lu Tianyu was about to die under Li Xiao's foot, Xiao Yu felt a sudden pain in her heart. At that moment, she realized that even though Lu Tianyu had done such a thing to her, she did not want him to die. She couldn't figure out why, but she knew she didn't want him to die.

"Brother Li, hold on!" Hearing Xiao Yu's plea, the middle-aged woman's heart stirred, and she quickly turned to Li Xiao, shouting.

"Sister Hu, this little brat defiled your disciple. Are you going to protect him?" Li Xiao's body suddenly stopped, pausing three meters in front of Lu Tianyu. He turned to the middle-aged woman and shouted angrily.

"Brother Li, I think this matter is not so simple. We should hold off on taking action and wait until we have a clear understanding before deciding to kill him." The middle-aged woman said slowly.

This woman was Xiao Yu's master, Hu Lijuan. Although she was furious at the humiliation her disciple had suffered, she knew her disciple well. If there wasn't a reason, Xiao Yu would not have stopped everyone from killing Lu Tianyu. Moreover, Xiao Yu often mentioned Lu Tianyu's name, and whenever she talked about him, she was always very happy. As someone who had been through it, Hu Lijuan could see that Xiao Yu had developed a subtle admiration for Lu Tianyu.

Therefore, she couldn't kill Lu Tianyu so rashly, to avoid making Xiao Yu regret it for life.

"Fine, since you are so confused, I will not interfere. Whether to kill or spare him is up to you." Li Xiao, hearing this, angrily said and quickly returned to stand beside Zhan Longxing.

Li Xiao had always secretly admired Hu Lijuan, hoping to become her cultivation partner one day. Therefore, he dared not disobey her, to avoid angering her and losing any chance in the future.

"Xiao Yu, think carefully. What could have caused that boy to act like this?" Hu Lijuan thought for a moment and then asked slowly.

"Those pastries were made by me, so there shouldn't be any problem. But why did he turn bright red after eating them and lose his mind?" Xiao Yu muttered, her eyes suddenly brightening as she remembered the maid Xiaor, who had helped her. From the beginning of kneading the dough, Xiaor had seemed distracted, as if she had something on her mind. Her behavior was very different from usual, and she almost made a mistake when placing the pastries on the table.

Xiao Yu knew Xiaor well. The girl had been sold to the Zhan family as a servant since childhood and had grown up with her. She was very cautious and lively, and would not act so out of character unless she had something on her mind.

"I know." With this thought, Xiao Yu immediately called out loudly.

"What?" Zhan Longxing and Hu Lijuan were both startled, while Li Xiao's face turned grim, and he clenched his right fist.

"Master, Grandpa, it must be Xiaor's doing. If we find her, we can uncover the truth." Xiao Yu quickly explained.

"Good, I will go and bring Xiaor here to question her!" Zhan Longxing immediately moved, flying into the air, and his powerful divine sense quickly spread, covering the entire Zhan family estate.

However, Zhan Longxing's divine sense could not find Xiaor's trace. She must have already left.

Zhan Longxing landed with a dark expression and said slowly, "Xiao Yu, Xiaor is no longer in the Zhan family estate." At this point, Zhan Longxing also had suspicions. It seemed that the matter was not so simple, and the maid Xiaor was involved. Otherwise, she would not have left without a word.

"What do we do now?" Li Xiao immediately asked, his teeth grinding in hatred.

"In my opinion, we should temporarily imprison this boy and wait until we find the maid Xiaor before making a decision." Hu Lijuan immediately proposed her suggestion.

"Agreed, Sister Hu, this is a good idea. Bring him in!" Zhan Longxing immediately shouted, calling several guards from the estate to take Lu Tianyu to the dungeon outside the Flowing Cloud Sect's headquarters for detention.

As Lu Tianyu was taken away, the nine-eyed demon beast transformed into a white light and returned to Lu Tianyu's consciousness, entering a state of severe injury and unconsciousness.

"Alright, let's end this matter here. I hope everyone present will keep this a secret and not reveal it, to protect Xiao Yu's reputation." Zhan Longxing scanned Li Xiao and Hu Lijuan, his expression very serious.

"Yes, Brother!" Hu Lijuan and Li Xiao both nodded.

"Sister Hu, Xiao Yu has suffered a great misfortune. Please take good care of her these few days." Zhan Longxing looked at Hu Lijuan and said slowly.

"Brother, don't be so formal. Xiao Yu is my disciple, and it's my duty to take care of her. I will stay with her these few days and take care of her." Hu Lijuan nodded understandingly. She knew that after Xiao Yu's embarrassing experience, although Zhan Longxing was her grandfather, he could not personally take care of her, and it had to be her, the master.

"Brother, thank you. If not for your report, we might still be in the dark about Xiao Yu's misfortune!" Zhan Longxing looked at Li Xiao and sincerely thanked him.

"Brother, don't be so formal. Although Xiao Yu is not my granddaughter, I have always treated her like one. If she is in trouble, I cannot stand idly by. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave. There are many things waiting for me to handle at the sect." Li Xiao said calmly.

"Alright, go ahead." Zhan Longxing nodded.

Li Xiao slightly bowed and quickly turned to leave.

"Grandpa, was it Grandpa Li who informed you? How did he know what happened here?" After Li Xiao left, Xiao Yu immediately looked at Zhan Longxing, asking curiously.

"Oh, Brother Li happened to be strolling in the back garden and heard the commotion from the east wing, so he immediately informed me and your master to come here." Zhan Longxing answered truthfully, without any suspicion.
