Heavenly Extremity Peak is not too far from the Xing family's residence. With Xing Peng’s rapid pace using the 'Wind Shadow Steps', he quickly arrived at the Xing family's dwelling.
The moment he appeared at the entrance of the Xing family's residence, the guards at the door suddenly became stupefied. They stared blankly at the disheveled young man in front of them, their minds greatly shaken, involuntarily covering their noses with their hands. The strong scent of blood emanating from Xing Peng made them very uncomfortable.
“Xing Peng?” One of the guards, named Xing Cheng, tentatively asked.
“What, you don’t recognize me anymore?” Xing Peng said indifferently. After days of slaughter, he no longer harbored strong hatred towards the Xing family. He had been treated as a discard by the Xing family, but he only blamed his own lack of strength. In situations like his, not only the Xing family would do so, but other clans would treat him the same way.
“So, it really is you, Xing Peng! Where did you get this hairstyle? It’s so trendy!” Xing Cheng exclaimed in surprise, his guard lowering quite a bit.
“Heavenly Extremity Peak!” Xing Peng still spoke indifferently, saying this as he walked towards the main gate of the Xing family.
“Wait!” Just as Xing Peng was about to step into the Xing family’s main gate, Xing Cheng suddenly shouted coldly at Xing Peng. At the same moment he rebuked Xing Peng, the long sword hanging at his waist was suddenly drawn, blocking Xing Peng’s path. Following Xing Cheng's action, other guards also stepped forward, blocking Xing Peng.
“What are you doing, not letting me in?” A cold light flashed in Xing Peng’s eyes. Having gone through a lot of killing, Xing Peng was still in a state of slaughter. Seeing someone provoke him, the killing intent he had condensed at Heavenly Extremity Peak immediately fell upon those guards blocking him.
“Boom!” Almost the moment Xing Peng’s killing intent fell on these guards, their hearts suddenly trembled, feeling a tremendous pressure. Their faces turned pale as paper, with terror arising in their eyes.
At that moment, in the eyes of these guards, Xing Peng seemed like a supreme fierce beast walking out of hell. Their spirits almost collapsed instantly, making them shiver and involuntarily step back, opening the way for him. As the guards retreated, Xing Peng didn’t spare them another glance and walked straight through the main gate, disappearing from the guards' sight in no time.
Only after Xing Peng had completely disappeared did the guards at the door fully recover, each wiping off a cold sweat with lingering fears.
“Xing Cheng, did I see that correctly? Xing Peng actually emitted such a strong killing intent!” After Xing Peng left, one of the guards looked at Xing Cheng tremblingly.
“Absolutely correct. That was killing intent, definitely killing intent. Moreover, that kind of killing intent was even thicker than some of the elders in our clan. Although Xing Peng only glanced at me, I felt as if several years had passed in that moment, and that killing intent almost devoured my soul,” Xing Cheng said, equally trembling.

“Yes! Absolutely correct. That killing intent, I am sure, is even stronger than some elders. I really don’t know what happened to Xing Peng at Heavenly Extremity Peak this month. That Heavenly Extremity Peak, not having reached Heaven Level, is impossible to come down from! And yet, Xing Peng was exiled there and came down in such a short time!” Another guard nodded in agreement.
“What do we do now? Xing Peng was exiled to Heavenly Extremity Peak, and now he has rashly come down, already violating the clan rules. Should we report this matter to the family elders?”
“Report? What else do you report! Previously, Xing Peng was a waste, so of course, he had no status. But now, just by looking at us, we involuntarily made way for him. Do you still think he is a waste? After all, he is the son of the Carefree King, a young master of the Xing family. Once he regains the recognition of the family elders, his status will immediately be elevated. We cannot afford to provoke such a young master!” Xing Cheng quickly shook his head.
“Yes, it’s better not to report. After all, the family is holding a family trial today. Since Xing Peng has returned to the family in such a mysterious way, he will not miss participating in the trial. Since he will voluntarily appear before the family’s upper echelons, why bother ourselves!” Hearing Xing Cheng's words, some guards immediately agreed. Being guards of the Xing family, their strength was mostly not weak, generally at the late Yellow Level. However, the fact that they were frightened away by a glance was somewhat terrifying for them. Xing Peng, in their eyes, became an unfathomable presence for a time.
After entering the Xing family, Xing Peng encountered many guards. The guards were shocked by Xing Peng's appearance, similar to Xing Cheng and the others. There were those who directly let Xing Peng in, and there were also those who, like Xing Cheng and others, tried to stop Xing Peng. For those who tried to stop him, Xing Peng warned them all with his killing intent.
Using killing intent to warn others was a tactic Xing Peng learned from the wild beasts at Heavenly Extremity Peak. Most of the formidable fierce beasts at Heavenly Extremity Peak would use such killing intent to warn intruders into their territory when they did not wish to move. Having interacted with these fierce beasts often, Xing Peng also habitually liked this method of using killing intent to directly repel the weaker ones.
Not long after entering the Xing family, the deafening sounds of cheers and attacks entered Xing Peng's ears, letting him know that the family’s internal trial had indeed begun. Knowing the trial had started, Xing Peng did not head towards the martial arts field where the sounds were coming from but went to his own room to freshen up.
Soaking in the hot water, Xing Peng felt completely relaxed.
Since coming to this world, this was the first time Xing Peng truly did not have to keep his nerves tense. He enjoyed this feeling very much. After a month of living like a savage, Xing Peng particularly valued this relaxation.
"Such days are comfortable. Compared to the days at Heavenly Extremity Peak, I'm really enjoying a god-like comfort now!" Xing Peng buried himself in the bathtub, very lazily.
Before coming down the mountain, Xing Peng was anxious about the trial at White Tiger Academy, hoping to come down the mountain early to participate in the trial. However, now that he had come down, Xing Peng was no longer in a hurry. As far as he knew, among the young generation of the Xing family, there really was no one who could be his opponent now. The only thing Xing Peng needed to do now was to conserve his strength and wait for the real trial at White Tiger Academy. That was his stage, and there would inevitably be another round of slaughter.
Xing Peng was enjoying his bath, while the descendants of the Xing family, who were striving to show themselves, were in the midst of shedding blood and losing their heads. No one would have thought that Xing Peng, whom they looked down upon, had run down from Heavenly Extremity Peak and even scorned the Xing family’s internal trial, enjoying himself in his own room.
