With Li Yifei present, Zhao Xianmin didn’t dare lie, or rather, in front of Old Master Zhao, he dared not lie, thus... he confessed the matter truthfully, without deliberately omitting or embellishing.

Old Master Zhao, the steward, and the surrounding Zhao Family People heard the truth of the matter. Their expressions varied; some naturally thought Li Yifei deserved it and silently cheered for Zhao Xianmin, some even blurted out compliments but quickly shut up under the steward’s glance.

Others believed Zhao Xianmin was wrong, despite the feud between Li Yifei and the Zhao Family, he shouldn’t have done such... disgraceful things. The Zhao Family today should not stoop to scheming against others, and even if forced to, the plan should be clever, not relying on lowly methods.

The steward’s brow remained tightly furrowed, his face looking unpleasant, while Old Master Zhao’s sleeve fluttered. Li Yifei could sense his True Qi spreading everywhere. After Zhao Xianmin finished speaking, he continued to kowtow repeatedly, not knowing what else to do.

"Disgraceful!" After just a minute or two of silence, Old Master Zhao commented.

This set the tone for the matter, leaving those within the Zhao Family with differing opinions unable to argue.

Li Yifei, with a smile on his face, nodded and said, "So, Clan Leader Zhao knows what I came to do today, right?"

"You’ve already beaten him, and brought here to humiliate. Li Yifei, what more do you want?" the steward questioned.

Li Yifei turned to glance at him, then said, "Oh, is this the style of the Zhao Family’s conduct? Or maybe their tradition? Committing such a disgraceful act, and a beating solves it? Seems like the Zhao Family does this often, but only I escaped, others probably weren’t so lucky."

"Stop spouting nonsense!" A member of the Zhao Family Young Generation, unable to hold back, stepped forward and shouted.

"Me spouting nonsense? Ha! Come, tell me, is Zhao Xianmin’s issue settled like this?" Li Yifei pointed and said.

The rain still poured down in torrents, the sky appearing breached, the storm continuing furiously. Lightning occasionally flashed in the distance, with thunder rumbling, echoing into the ears. Li Yifei alone confronted the Zhao Family in their manor, fearless, only exuding endless defiance, though currently showing just a hint of it.

The member of Zhao Family Young Generation was speechless; after all, he’s just a minor figure unable to confront Li Yifei directly, speaking wrongly would also earn punishment.

"What do you want?" The speaker was Zhao the Fourth, Old Master Zhao’s fourth son, who just arrived and was over fifty years old this year. He held some status within the Zhao Family, thus stepped forward to question.

Li Yifei didn’t even look at him but focused on Old Master Zhao, asking, "I’m waiting for an answer from Clan Leader Zhao, not from you all."

"Ha, a battle of words is useless. Li Yifei, this is the Zhao Family; even if Zhao Family People did wrong, we have family rules. You, an outsider, dared beat Zhao Family People, you must give us an explanation!" Zhao the Fourth wasn’t angry but had no smile, stopping before Li Yifei.

Zhao the Fourth had cultivation, though likely would remain only robust and long-lived unless he encountered a great opportunity, unable to advance further. His cultivation even seemed ordinary, at least to the present Li Yifei, it was mediocre, not as formidable as Elder Shen of Shen Family.

Li Yifei uttered a sound, saying, "So, these are Zhao Family’s rules? Committing a wrong without correcting or remedying it, but retaliating instead?"

"If you’re upright, who plots against you?" Zhao the Fourth retorted.

"Clan Leader Zhao, is this the kind of descendants you’ve nurtured? They can’t distinguish right from wrong?" Li Yifei looked at the other, pointing at Zhao the Fourth.

"Fourth son!" Old Master Zhao gestured, Zhao the Fourth wanted to retort but shut up under Old Master Zhao’s command.

"Clan leader Li, what do you intend?"

"If I ask again, it’ll be the third time. The Zhao Family dominates Southern Sky, claimed as Southern Sky’s top family. From what I know, Zhao Family ranks strongest not just in Southern Sky but across several southern provinces. Yet, the conduct is like this; how laughable." Li Yifei said disdainfully.

Old Master Zhao raised his hand to interrupt the Zhao Family People, coldly saying, "Someone, cripple his limbs, throw him down the mountain!"

"Old Master!" Those who knew Zhao Xianmin or whose relatives were closer hurriedly exclaimed, "He’s our family, Li Yifei an enemy, invading our home is already a massive offense, how can you further cripple Xianmin, he..."

"Legally, this is criminal; according to family norms, it violates our customs, damaging the family’s reputation. I handle it this way; anyone else dissenting?" Old Master Zhao worried Li Yifei might exploit the situation, thus swiftly cutting off this possibility.

In the Zhao Family, the words of the Old Master were law, so someone immediately rushed over to grab Zhao Xianmin and, with several cracking sounds, broke his limbs.

Old Master Zhao asked in a deep voice, "Is this enough?"

"I thought you’d cut off his limbs. With broken ones, I can have them fixed in two days," Li Yifei shook his head, expressing dissatisfaction.

Hah! Zhao Family people immediately glared, showing various angry expressions, and then cursed, "Li Yifei, don’t go too far!"

"What, you find me unpleasant?" Li Yifei looked at the person cursing and asked.

"Damn, Old Master, I want to teach this person a lesson!" As he spoke, the man pushed off his feet, jumped out from the crowd, and landed on the ground with a thud, colliding his fists. This man appeared to be a little over thirty, nearly forty, with a body trained in external martial arts, but his level was too low, simply not worth seeing. When Li Yifei shook his head, the steward had already blocked him, stopping him with one hand, saying, "You’re not his opponent, go back!"

"Uncle, don’t stop me. I want to teach this arrogant guy a lesson today, damn, he’s spoiled!" The man was still cursing, but his feet kept retreating.

"Wealth doesn’t last beyond three generations, prosperity leads to decline, what a pity, what a pity!" Li Yifei shook his head, seemingly truly sighing.

These words fell into Old Master Zhao’s ears and sounded somewhat harsh, but Li Yifei had hit upon his worry; starting a family is difficult, but maintaining it is even harder. The descendants at home...each generation is worse than the last. Despite Old Master Zhao’s efforts in nurturing them, looking at these descendants’ performances, a previously smart grandson of the third generation inexplicably died from drugs in the Capital City. Old Master Zhao grieved for days and has not yet recovered. The Second Master Zhao, despite his rebellion, was actually very smart and not as foolish as he appeared.

Originally, Old Master Zhao thought of letting him play for a year or two before nurturing him seriously. Even if he couldn’t be the successor of the third generation, he could handle things independently. But in the end, he killed himself with drugs...

As more and more people gathered here, the elders of the Zhao Family who were cultivating in seclusion in the caves of the back mountain also came out, called over because a formidable enemy had arrived at the family’s door.

It had been years since the Zhao Family encountered such a situation. Even if experts came to cause trouble, it usually did not require these elders to show up. Of course, Li Yifei had already met one elder of the Zhao Family and knew that the top two ranked elders of the Zhao Family were the real experts; the others were just ordinary.

These two elders...based on the information Li Yifei had, they had profound cultivation, possibly even being the legendary Innate Experts. They hadn’t made a move in decades; thus, Li Yifei needed to be wary of these two. As for the others in the Zhao Family, they were of no concern.

This is also why the better one’s skills, the bolder he becomes, otherwise, rushing into the Zhao Family like this could potentially end badly for Li Yifei.

The arrival of the two elders made the Zhao Family realize the severity of today’s incident. They knew of the enmity between the Zhao Family and the Li Family from Ning Province, but they hadn’t expected this man to be so powerful that even the Great Elder and Second Elder were alarmed.

These two had not left the mountain for a long time, focusing on cultivation in the back mountain’s caves, ignoring external affairs.

Li Yifei naturally also noticed these two elders. Through the rain curtain, they came side by side, an old man and an old woman, appearing as though they were over a hundred years old. As for their exact age, Li Yifei did not know.

Seeing these two, Li Yifei couldn’t help but frown, as they gave off an eerie feeling. When they moved, it seemed as if a...red aura was spreading, but it wasn’t clear. Li Yifei couldn’t say if this was real or not, as it was just a vague sense, not something seen with the eyes.

It wasn’t killing intent either; killing intent is not the same as this.

"Great Elder, Second Elder!" As soon as the two arrived, countless Zhao Family members bowed, even the steward did the same, and Old Master Zhao also saluted with folded fists. Li Yifei noticed that Old Master Zhao used the junior’s salute toward them, which was unusual, for the clan chief to honor the family’s elders.

The Great Elder was the woman, the Second Elder was the man. The two stood about ten meters from Li Yifei, with Old Master Zhao and the steward beside them, and more and more Zhao Family members gathering behind.

Li Yifei stood alone facing the Zhao Family, with dark clouds looming behind him and rain pouring down on his head. Yet, it wasn’t just these two elders who came; besides the elders who were out, the others also arrived, though with ordinary cultivation, not catching Li Yifei’s eye.

Li Yifei stood there; oh, he wasn’t actually alone, as beside the car was Ye Liangchen, getting drenched in the rain. He deserved it, and no one pitied him.

"To be so young and cultivate to such a level is indeed quite remarkable!" It was the Second Elder who spoke, his voice magnetic, even mesmerizing. Li Yifei felt a brief daze, but it passed quickly, though many Zhao Family members were visibly enjoying it.

A voice attack, perhaps? Li Yifei smirked lightly and said, "Continue."
