As for Li Yuze and the evil hag, they were both staring blankly at Tang Rao, who had finally appeared again.

What was his purpose for coming?

Was it to rescue Li Yuze?

"Even kill me along with him? Do you really think that's possible?!" Tang Rao scoffed.

"Do you know what realm I am in now?" Tang Rao asked calmly, with an air of ease and clarity.

"You? What realm could you be in, the peak of Foundation Establishment?"

"So what if it's the Enlightenment Realm, with so many of us charging at you, a spit from each could kill you."

Tang Rao looked at these people and let out a cold laugh through his nose.

"Foundation Establishment? Enlightenment? Sorry, I am not. Perhaps, if you were fortunate enough to enter the Nine-Headed King Hall, you might know my current strength. Well, how should I put it? Above Foundation Establishment is Enlightenment, above Enlightenment is Integration, and above Integration is Golden Core…" Tang Rao spoke slowly.

The crowd suddenly fell silent.

They had heard of Enlightenment, but Integration, Golden Core—what were those? Realms above the Enlightenment Stage?

"I'm sorry to tell you, I am now almost at the Golden Core Stage. Not to mention you, mere dregs, even if ten thousand, a hundred thousand Enlightenment cultivators came, it wouldn't be enough for me to kill!" Tang Rao's aura suddenly changed, his mighty Spiritual Energy burst forth.

At the same time, he also released a bit of the Heavenly Dao's pressure.

Oh boy, though he had only comprehended it for two or three days in the Sky Palace, Tang Rao had indeed grasped a bit of the Heavenly Dao's pressure.

It was limited, but against these people, it was enough to completely suppress them.

Bang bang bang!

Almost at the same time, the thousand people in front of Tang Rao all lay prostrate on the ground.

Merely at the highest stage of Foundation Establishment, how could they withstand the Heavenly Dao's pressure.

As for behind Tang Rao, the Li Family were terrified to utter a single word.

This Tang Rao, truly... was like a celestial being, how could a human be terrifying to this extent.

A single aura made a thousand people bow down.

Li Yuze stared intently at Tang Rao, his eyes emitting an endless glow.

Admiration, shock, and some regret and loss.

If he had chosen to follow him back then, by now, he might have already surpassed the Foundation Establishment Realm...

"Are you not leaving yet? What, should I see you out?" Tang Rao withdrew the Heavenly Dao's pressure and spoke coldly.

He did not bother to argue about right and wrong, he had no interest and it was unnecessary.

Sometimes, absolute power is much more useful than any explanation or justification.

When you lack strength, you could say thousands but nobody would care; but when your power is above all others, even if you say shit smells good, many would agree with you.

Thousands of people immediately stood up at their fastest speed, not a word spoken, all fled.

Joking aside, why stay? To wait for death?

In less than five minutes, the Li Family Mansion was completely empty.

Tang Rao initially wanted to extort some Blood Spirit Pills, but then he thought against it, these Cultivation Families might not have many Blood Spirit Pills to give.

Letting one family bring out a thousand would already be difficult...

Thousands of Blood Spirit Pills, for Tang Rao, would be as good as none.

At the entrance of the Li Family Mansion, Yan Xiaoshuang foolishly watched everything that just occurred.

She had arrived just as Tang Rao landed in the courtyard of the Li Family. Then, she too lay down...

It was like being pressed down by an invisible force, unable to resist, completely overwhelming.

Too terrifying, she could never imagine that such power existed in the world.

And this power was held by Tang Rao.

Golden Core Stage... What was that realm, she really had never even heard of it.

Illumination, Fusion, Golden Core...

Only at this moment did Tang Rao turn around and look at Li Yuze.

"Tang Rao..."

"I've said before, I consider you a friend." Tang Rao smiled, "Since you're in trouble, I can't just stand by and do nothing."

"Thank you..." Li Yuze said to Tang Rao, his tone sincere.

If it wasn't for Tang Rao this time, perhaps, he would have been dead.

Death, no matter who it is, is hard to accept.

"No need to be polite." Tang Rao waved his hand, "By the way, I still hold to what I said, if you swear an oath to Heavenly Dao to follow me for twenty years, I will let you continue to live."

What?

Continue to live?

Li Yuze was stunned.

Immediately afterward, a sense of suffocation surged up to his chest.

Pfft!

Li Yuze's face suddenly turned pale, and blood crazily sprayed out of his mouth, gushing out unstoppably.

"With such severe injuries, unless I do my utmost to help you, you are sure to die. And for me to lend my full assistance, I need twenty years of your time. During these twenty years, I won't make you do anything against your conscience," Tang Rao said.

Li Yuze clenched his teeth; he belonged to the Yan Nation, he was a soldier, loyalty was his sworn duty.

"Yu Ze, Tang Rao is the Chief Instructor of the Special Ninth Department. In fact, being loyal to him is also being loyal to the country," Yan Xiaoshuang, not knowing when she had approached, said somewhat sympathetically.

Although she didn't like Tang Rao, she couldn't just watch Li Yuze die.

"Chief Instructor of the Special Ninth Department, what you're saying… is it true?" Li Yuze's eyes slightly lit up.

"Of course, it's true. I have no need to deceive you. You know I've already joined the Special Ninth Department, I wouldn't speak lightly," Yan Xiaoshuang said.

Tang Rao was somewhat surprised; he did not expect Yan Xiaoshuang and Li Yuze to know each other.

It seemed, perhaps due to his identity as the Chief Instructor of the Special Ninth Department, Li Yuze was somewhat swayed.

Actually, even if Li Yuze didn't agree, Tang Rao would still save him. He couldn't just let this guy kick the bucket.

"I..."

"Agree to it..."

Li Yuze took a deep breath and then nodded heavily.

"I... Li Yuze... swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao..."

"Forget it." Tang Rao suddenly waved his hand, interrupting Li Yuze.

Clearly, Li Yuze was a very loyal person, loyal to himself and to his country.

If he were forced to swear this Heavenly Dao oath, it might create a rift between them.

Once the twenty years were up, Li Yuze might just leave him, and that would be a loss not worth the gain.

There's a saying Tang Rao didn't speak lightly; he truly considered Li Yuze a friend.

This guy had spirit and responsibility.

Saying this, Tang Rao stretched out his hand and pressed directly on Li Yuze's chest.

A surge of wild Spiritual Energy flowed out from Tang Rao, starkly blasting into Li Yuze's body. Then, Tang Rao took out something heart-like and blood-red from Chen Tuan's Space Ring and forcibly stuffed it into Li Yuze's mouth.

That thing, once consumed, melted into a pure force that coursed through Li Yuze's body.

"Ah!!" In that instant, Li Yuze shrieked terribly.

"Hold on, young man, there's an old saying that goes, 'Bitterness before sweetness is like ascending to heaven,'" Tang Rao told Li Yuze.

Li Yuze felt an urge to curse, 'Easy for you to say, why don't you try it!'

The pain struck in an instant, making him feel like he had lost control of his bladder and bowels...
