Updat𝓮d fr𝙤m ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com.
In less than five minutes, Li Xiaoyao led more than twenty people out of the dungeon.
When they emerged from the dungeon, the somewhat dazzling sunlight made them squint, causing them to raise their hands to shield their eyes.
Only when they saw the hundreds of Long Family members, Long Zaitian, and the remaining three elders standing neatly in the ruined plaza, waiting for them, did they finally feel a sense of reality.
They were truly free; it was Li Xiaoyao who had rescued them from the clutches of the Long Family.
Jiang Lichun felt that bringing Li Xiaoyao into the Xuan Sect before his rise to fame was the most correct decision he had made in his life.
As it turned out, his choice back then was incredible indeed.
...
The clan members had learned from Long Zaitian that the Long Family was about to submit to Li Xiaoyao, no, to the Li Family.
Reluctantly in their hearts, but what could they do if unwilling? With their meager strength, they were unable to change the reality that had already been established.
Li Xiaoyao had no extra words to waste; he really had nothing to say to these people of the Long Family.
Sparing their lives was already an act of great mercy. If they expected him to utter hypocritical words, he couldn’t do it.
He took out a Bone Corroding Pill, flicked it with his finger, and the pill soared into the sky, turning into a cloud of mist that enveloped the hundreds of clan members below.
As the clan members breathed in the mist, they felt no discomfort, but that didn’t mean they believed Li Xiaoyao was giving them anything beneficial.
Li Xiaoyao approached the steps, took out three more Bone Corroding Pills, and flicked them towards the three surviving elders, saying, “Swallow these.”
There was anger in the depths of the elders’ eyes, but ultimately, they helplessly caught the pill medicine and swallowed it.
The sight filled the hearts of the clan members with a deep sense of humiliation.
Li Xiaoyao completely ignored their inner turmoil, took out a white porcelain bottle, and tossed it to Long Zaitian, saying, “Here is their antidote, and the same applies, only one month.”
Long Zaitian caught the antidote; his face was devoid of any sign of life.
Li Xiaoyao, facing the Long Family members, suddenly shouted, “Those of the Spirit Cultivation Realm, step forward.”
After about ten seconds of silence, Li Xiaoyao frowned. Raising his voice, he shouted, “I said, Spirit Cultivation Realm, step forward now!”
The voice carried spiritual energy, causing the clan members below to stagger, and those with weaker cultivation levels directly fell to the ground.
About three or four cultivators of the Spirit Cultivation Realm stepped out from the crowd.
Li Xiaoyao looked at them with cold eyes and scoffed, “Such a large Long Family, and yet so few disciples are at the Spirit Cultivation Realm. Pitiful.”
At this remark, everyone was filled with anger.
Li Xiaoyao was insulting their Long Family.
They were angry and wanted to resist, but they were powerless to do so.
In the face of the powerful Li Xiaoyao, their so-called strength was laughably weak.
Li Xiaoyao didn’t care whether they were angry or not; it had nothing to do with him.
“Abstinence Realm cultivators, step forward.”
Suddenly, nearly a hundred people took a step forward.
Li Xiaoyao glanced at them and said, “Starting today, all Spirit Cultivation Realm disciples will go to the Li Family and await orders and assignments.”
“What!”
“How can this be?”
“This is too much; we are Long Family members, why should we take orders from the Li Family?”
The clan members were thoroughly enraged; Li Xiaoyao’s actions had crossed their line.
Long Zaitian and the three Elders also had gloomy expressions.
“Li Xiaoyao, my Long Family has already submitted to you, what more do you want?” Even a clay figure has some anger, let alone Long Zaitian, the leader of a clan.
Li Xiaoyao asked indifferently, “Do you have a problem?”
Long Zaitian’s face turned red with blockage, and he was unable to speak for a long time. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, “No.”
“If there’s no problem, then follow the order,” Li Xiaoyao left these words and added, “You have three days. In three days, all disciples at the Spirit Cultivation Realm must report to my Li Family. Do you understand?”
“Understood.” Long Zaitian’s breath was stuck in his chest, unable to rise or fall, and his anger almost turned into tangible flames.
…
“Did you hear?”
“What?”
“An Elder from the Ancient Rakshasa Sect is dead. It’s said to have been at the hands of Li Xiaoyao of the Li Family.”
“Holy shit, for real?”
“Of course it’s real, now the entire Cultivation World knows about it, how can it be fake?”
“Moreover, I’ve heard that the Clan Leader of the Li Family and an Elder have broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm!”
Conversations like these were quickly spreading throughout the families and Sects of the Cultivation World.
Sects in the Human Realm that had had disputes with Li Xiaoyao were terrified to the extent of being restless day and night upon hearing these news.
The Hehuan Sect and the Luo Family also received this information, and as part of the Eight Great Sects of Xuan Country, they had more detailed channels of information than other Sects.
The news of Rakshasa Sect Elder Huang Yi’s death was something they knew about a few days earlier. Besides that, they also learned that the military’s top talent Ling Tian was crippled.
And it was said to have been done by Li Xiaoyao himself.
However, there was some skepticism regarding Ling Tian being crippled, as Xuan Country’s government was suppressing the matter and very few knew the details. Therefore, they doubted the source of the news they had received.
After all, one was a Nascent Soul Realm Venerable, and the other was a Golden Core Realm Cultivator; the gap between these two individuals was excessively large.
But their skepticism did not last long.
When the news that the Long Family had submitted to the Li Family spread, they finally felt fear.
Li Xiaoyao, he had taken action against the Long Family.
The Sect Leader and the Elders began to discuss strategies on how to cope.
In their view, Li Xiaoyao’s move against the Long Family was surely for revenge for the Long Family’s past oppression outside the Human Realm.
Looking at the situation, neither the Hehuan Sect nor the Luo Family seemed capable of avoiding involvement.
…
“Return to Xuan Sect?” After leaving the Long Family, Li Xiaoyao asked.
“Yeah.” Jiang Lichun sighed, “This matter has dealt a great blow to Xuan Sect; we need to hurry back and find those scattered disciples.”
“After this incident, I’m afraid Xuan Sect’s status will fall quite a bit.”
Liu Chengxiang, however, was very calm, “Rises and falls are normal, no need for self-reproach.”
Ye Qingcheng and the others looked at him in surprise. This was really rare, the first time they saw Liu Chengxiang speaking to Jiang Lichun in this tone. Usually, whenever the two met, they either didn’t speak at all or were at each other’s throats, outsiders couldn’t even tell they were fellow Sect brothers.
Li Xiaoyao used his Flying Sword to send them back to Xuan Sect, and as he prepared to leave, Jiang Lichun stopped him.
“Kid, come back and visit when you have time. Xuan Sect is in decline now and needs your support,” Jiang Lichun even said these words, he really didn’t see Li Xiaoyao as an outsider.
Li Xiaoyao understood his meaning, nodded, and said, “I have just established a Sect, if you don’t mind, you can come and be an Honorary Elder.”
