Collect the rags and I become a clairvoyant doctor

"Young Master, let's back out!"

About half an hour had passed, and there was still no clear sign that the battle between Liu Wen and Li Yan had ended. It was then that Liu Wen's protector couldn't help but speak up.

With his exceptional skills and keen insight, he could easily see that Li Yan was becoming increasingly formidable under Liu Wen's tutelage.

Since Liu Wenjiu has failed to capture the city, why waste time staying here?

Moreover, their young master has already lost face in today's battle; continuing to fight will only make them a laughingstock.

"But I'm not willing to give in!"

Upon hearing his protector's words, Liu Wen's face contorted into a terrifying grimace.

"One loss or gain is not important; there's plenty of time in the future!" Liu Wen's protector continued to earnestly advise him.

"Li Yan, you're lucky this time. You probably won't be so lucky next time."

Although Liu Wen doesn't want to leave now, he has indeed lost all his initial advantage.

If Liu Wen had attacked Li Yan directly from the start, Li Yan might not have had the chance to break through his cultivation level during the battle. Therefore, all of this was caused by Liu Wen himself.

In order not to cause too bad a reaction, he originally wanted to create the illusion that he accidentally killed Li Yan in battle, but he did not expect that it was because of his foolish idea that Li Yan's realm broke through directly.

He did Li Yan a huge favor this time, but in doing so, he ultimately revealed his true intentions, and it didn't even have any effect.

If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have pretended!

It's too late to say anything now. He can't kill Li Yan, nor can he hurt him. He can only retreat.

"Do you think I'll wait for you to do it again?"

"You should think about how to get through today first!"

Since Li Yan began cultivating, he has probably never been beaten as badly as he was today, even though he successfully advanced to the new Divine Radiance Realm thanks to this beating.

But he had been thoroughly beaten, so how could he possibly let the other party leave so easily?

Liu Wen says he won't fight, so he just won't?

Who does he think he is?!

When the enemy tried to escape, Li Yan immediately adopted close-quarters combat tactics to entangle Liu Wen.

Although he knew this might be Liu Wen's strength, as long as he could slow Liu Wen down, he could change his fighting style at any time.

"Hey Li, I'm leaving, and you have no right to stop me!"

Liu Wen naturally sensed Li Yan's intentions, so he first sneered, and then his aura suddenly began to surge.

Ordinary cultivators would use forbidden techniques to enhance their cultivation and combat power when the battle was nearing its end. Geniuses like Liu Wen had naturally mastered this life-saving method long ago.

Li Yan wouldn't let him leave, so Liu Wen used a forbidden technique to leave directly.

After his aura surged, Liu Wen's movement speed suddenly increased by at least two times. He was like a bolt of lightning, instantly moving from one end to the other.

Just as Li Yan was about to use the same method to pursue Liu Wen, his protector suddenly shouted, "Young Master, don't pursue a desperate enemy!"

Li Yan has now successfully broken through to the early stage of the Divine Radiance Realm. Even if he doesn't fight Liu Wen to the death, Li Yan will still be the one who gains the most.

Moreover, Liu Wen has a large group of powerful members of the Liu family behind him. Even if Li Yan wanted to kill him, he would have to see if they agreed.

If we continue to pursue them like this, it will basically be fruitless, so why waste our energy?

"That bastard, he's really fast."

Li Yan ultimately did not chase after Liu Wen, but instead returned to his protector's side, cursing and swearing.

"When do you expect your family to actually come over?" Li Yan asked.

"According to the information we obtained when we left, the patriarch and the others will bring everyone here after all the resources have been divided up."

It's important to understand that this evacuation wasn't an ordinary one; it was a complete evacuation, abandoning the area where they had previously lived.

If a faction wants to completely relocate, there are certainly many things it needs to do, such as the issue of resource distribution that everyone is concerned about.

These forces are intertwined and interdependent, and disputes are inevitable, especially when it comes to matters involving interests. In some cases, bloodshed is not out of the question.

So they definitely won't be here anytime soon.

"This time, Liu Wen has essentially declared war on our Li family. We'll settle accounts with them when our family members arrive!"

Currently, both sides are roughly equal in strength here. If they rashly engage in a life-or-death battle, it might give other unscrupulous individuals an opportunity to exploit the situation. Therefore, this matter can only be put on hold for the time being.

Moreover, he has only just broken through to a higher realm and needs time to consolidate his gains.

These super geniuses must take every step with a firm footing, because only in this way can their future rise to a higher level.

"Where's the killer?"

This is when Li Yan begins to question the assassin.

Although he had been fighting Liu Wen, he still caught a glimpse of what was happening here. Taking advantage of the chaos to ambush Qin Fei, these assassins were truly despicable.

“The assassin is under our control and can’t escape,” his protector replied.

"Alright, keep an eye on them. We can't repeat the same mistake we made last time."

"Don't worry, as long as I don't die, no one can save this assassin!"

After asking about the assassin, Li Yan immediately searched for Qin Fei in the crowd. A moment later, he saw Qin Fei sitting cross-legged to one side.

On the surface, Qin Fei seemed perfectly fine, but Li Yan knew in his heart that Qin Fei must have paid a very high price to help him stop Liu Wen.

After all, Liu Wen had used his full spear intent, and Qin Fei had taken a full-force blow from him, so it was no wonder he was in trouble.

It was only thanks to Qin Fei's intervention that he managed to hold off Liu Wen for a while, giving him a precious breathing space. Otherwise, it would have been uncertain whether he could have successfully broken through to the Divine Radiance Realm.

"Brother Qin, are your injuries serious?"

Upon reaching Qin Fei's side, Li Yan asked in a low voice.

Upon hearing his words, Qin Fei slowly opened his closed eyes.

"I didn't...."

Before Qin Fei could finish his sentence, he let out a muffled groan, and a trickle of blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.

In fact, Qin Fei's injuries had already been suppressed through his own treatment. The reason he acted this way was entirely because he wanted to intensify Li Yan's self-blame in this way.

It's just a little trick, I guess.

Li Yan paid such a high price to save him before, so now that he wants to help Li Yan, he naturally has to make himself look even more miserable. Otherwise, when will he ever be able to repay this debt of gratitude?

It seems his strategy was quite successful. You can see that Li Yan's face instantly showed self-reproach. He said, "This time, I owe you a lot. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to break through my cultivation level, and I might have even been killed."

"It's alright. Since we're friends, it's only right that I do this. I believe that if I were in that situation, you would also help me without hesitation."

"Haha, well said!"

Hearing Qin Fei's words, Li Yan patted him on the shoulder and then said, "Don't worry, since you helped me, I certainly won't treat you unfairly. Let's go back first."

The killer has been caught. Their next task is to interrogate him and follow the clues to find the real culprit behind the scenes.

After returning to the city, Qin Fei could clearly feel that the atmosphere here had changed from before.

Although Li Yan and Liu Wen haven't launched a full-scale decisive battle, the conflict between them has almost reached an irreconcilable point. Under these circumstances, this powder keg could explode at any moment.

Moreover, since it concerns two super families, outsiders dare not discuss it openly, so the atmosphere here is somewhat oppressive.

"Say or not?"

"Are you going to tell me or not?!"

Upon returning to the Li family's residence, Li Yan did not rush to consolidate his cultivation level. Instead, he immediately interrogated the assassin who had attempted to ambush Qin Fei, and vented all his anger on the assassin.

As a result, the assassin had only been interrogated for less than five minutes, and was already beaten so badly that he looked like a ghost, which was quite frightening.

"Brother Qin, I feel like I can't get any useful information out of them. You should take over this task!"

He still vividly remembered the way Qin Fei tortured people last time, so since this assassin in front of him refused to cooperate even when being beaten, he certainly didn't want to waste any more time on him.

More importantly, he had vented most of his anger, and now he should use his time to consolidate his cultivation level.

"Okay, let me do it."

Without any unnecessary words, Qin Fei directly inserted the bone needle into the other party's acupoints, and then silently walked to the side to recover and heal.

"Humph!"

The assassin had no idea what he was about to face, so when he saw that Qin Fei and Li Yan were ignoring him, he couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

The bone needles did not cause him any pain, so he thought that Qin Fei's actions were a complete waste of time.

However, he soon realized how incredibly foolish his idea was. Intense pain began to spread within his body, first physically, and then even affecting his soul.

"If you have the guts, then... then give me a quick death!"

As he spoke, the assassin's lips trembled, but unfortunately, his voice did not attract anyone's attention; even Qin Fei and Li Yan did not open their eyes.

Both of them knew that the assassin's suffering was far from over. Since he still had time to speak, it meant that he definitely wouldn't cooperate with them yet.

Since that's the case, let him suffer the pain alone.

When he can't take it anymore, he will naturally cooperate.

"kill me!"

"Some of you, kill me now!"

"I can't take it anymore."

The killer's agonizing screams echoed throughout the room, sending chills down one's spine.
