"Congratulations, Elder! We've finally received reinforcements!"

At this moment, the other members of the Liu family stationed here also came up to offer their congratulations. Heaven knows how eager they were for the aid to arrive. However, the Zhang family came out first from the teleportation array, followed by the Wang family. They thought that the next people to come out might be from the Liu family.

Unexpectedly, the force that emerged later was the Divine Martial Sect.

Now, when they send people to the Divine Martial Sect to ask for information, they are met with cold indifference and are even kicked out.

But if the Liu family's main force arrives, would the Divine Martial Sect still dare to do this?

"Elder, shouldn't we line up and go to the teleportation array to wait for the family members to arrive?" someone asked.

"No!"

Upon hearing this, the eldest elder of the Liu family revealed a sinister look in his eyes: "Although that bastard Qin Fei has been captured by Liang Xia, he still has brothers and friends left behind in the Li family. We must get our hands on them first!"

The eldest elder of the Liu family was no ordinary ruthless person. He had already made the worst-case scenario plan: if they failed to kill Qin Fei, he would slaughter the people around him and make Qin Fei live with guilt and regret for the rest of his life.

And this is what happened to Qin Fei for provoking the Liu family!

According to their previous agreement, the Liu family surrounded the Li family but did not attack, because they were all afraid that Qin Fei's master, the God of Wine, would suddenly appear.

Now Qin Fei has been personally kidnapped by Liang Xia, the sect leader of the Divine Martial Sect. Throughout the entire process, Qin Fei's master has not shown up, so it is unlikely that he will come to Qin Fei's rescue.

If even Qin Fei, the God of Wine, wouldn't save him, let alone anyone else.

So when the Liu family's eldest elder reappeared outside the Li family's residence, he immediately used his powerful strength to break the formation set up by Li Yan's protector.

The difference in their cultivation levels was significant; Li Yan's protectors were no match for the Liu family's Grand Elder.

"What do you want to do?"

As the strongest person in the Li family's territory, Li Yan, the protector, immediately unleashed his aura and stood in front of the Liu family's Grand Elder after the formation he had set up was broken.

“My Liu family’s main force will arrive immediately. I’m here to arrest Qin Fei’s henchmen. If you don’t want to die, get out of my way, or else…”

The Liu family elder deliberately revealed his killing intent, instantly chilling Li Yan's protector to the bone.

He never expected that the Liu family's eldest elder would act so brutally. He dared to launch a direct attack on the Li family's territory before their main force even arrived. If their main force had arrived, wouldn't he be capable of anything?

"This is the territory of my Li family, representing our Li family's land. How dare your Liu family do this?" However, as the strongest person here, Li Yan's protector still spoke with a strong voice.

However, the consequence of his actions was that he was immediately blasted away by the Liu family's eldest elder with a single punch, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"If you dare utter another word, I'll send you to see your great-grandfather immediately!"

The eldest elder of the Liu family had a cold expression. Then, with a wave of his hand, a large group of Liu family members, led by Liu Wen, rushed into the Li family's residence.

In fact, the Li family's act of protecting Qin Fei was enough for the Liu family's elder to slaughter everyone here, but he didn't want to go too far, mainly because he was afraid he couldn't bear the consequences.

He could kill ordinary members of the Li family, and dared to kill them, but the key was that Li Yan was mixed in among them. If he made a move against this guy, even if he had a group of big shots from the Liu family behind him, his final fate would likely be death.

This is a hornet's nest; you can see it, but you can't poke it.

"Arrest them!" Seeing that all the personnel were in place, the Liu family elder issued the order to search.

"Don't even move!"

Seeing that his own family members were about to rush forward to resist the Liu family, Li Yan, the future head of the Li family, finally spoke up.

He knew that the Liu family's eldest elder was now like a gambler with bloodshot eyes, and he had begun to use any means necessary to achieve his goals. Under such circumstances, if the Li family members rushed up to fight them, they would likely end up dying.

Given this, how could Li Yan possibly tolerate the needless sacrifice of his family members?

Anyway, Qin Fei's men had already been secretly moved out long ago. Since they want to catch them, let them take their time!

"Master!"

Seeing that Li Yan actually ordered his own people not to move, Li Yan's protectors couldn't help but shout.

"As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn; this is my order!"

Li Yan knew that his protectors also wanted to fight to the death at this moment, because for them, being forcibly invaded by the Liu family was tantamount to trampling on the face of the Li family.

As members of the Li family, if they don't resist at this time, wouldn't they be completely devoid of courage?

However, Li Yan did not want to see innocent lives disappear before his eyes, so he had to issue an order to stop the resistance.

In his view, death at this point was utterly meaningless.

"You're a smart kid!"

Upon hearing Li Yan's words, the Liu family's eldest elder snorted coldly, and then he also released his perception.

While the people below were searching, he, as the current strongest member of the Liu family, certainly couldn't rest. He had to search even the most obscure and hidden places carefully.

Before long, the search ended. Of course, the Liu family had nothing to show for it, because Zhen Tian and Su Chen had already moved away with Qin Fei. It would be a miracle if they could find them.

However, Jingyang, the deputy sect leader of the Blackwater Sect, who was in the middle of his cultivation, was found by them.

This guy did not leave the Li family's residence after Qin Fei was captured. He was still using the life force of the Evergreen Lamp to try to break through to the next realm.

However, his cultivation level has remained unchanged for far too many years, so he still looks lifeless and dull, as if a gust of wind could extinguish the flame of his life.

"What about people?"

After glancing at Jingyang, the eldest elder of the Liu family revealed a ferocious expression.

It should be noted that the Liu family had started monitoring this place a long time ago. Under their tight surveillance, all the movements of the Li family were under their watchful eye.

But now the person they're looking for has disappeared, which means the Li family must have hidden him away.

"Who is it?" Li Yan asked knowingly.

"Li Yan, I have limited patience. You'd better not try to fool me. I need to find those two people who are with Qin Fei. As long as you hand them over, I can leave immediately with my men. Otherwise..."

"Or what?" Li Yan pressed directly.

Li Yan's forceful questioning left the Liu family elder speechless. He really wanted to say that the Li family's territory should be wiped out, but once he said that, it would be difficult to take it back.

After all, words spoken are like water spilled; not only would he not dare to actually slaughter everyone here, but even if he just said it offhand, it would become a handle for the Li family to use against the Liu family in the future.

Therefore, he dared not talk nonsense.

"Otherwise, you know the consequences," the Liu family elder said dismissively.

"Your Liu family has surrounded our Li family's territory for a long time. Now the person you're looking for has disappeared. Instead of looking for the reason among your own people, you're asking us for someone. Everyone in my Li family's territory is here. See who you're looking for," Li Yan said coldly.

Li Yan's words awakened the Liu family's eldest elder, whose suspicious gaze immediately fell on his own family members, especially those Liu family members who were responsible for keeping watch here, who were his main targets.

"Elder, we absolutely did not slack off during our surveillance. I swear, we did not see any suspicious person leave the Li family." One of the Liu family members immediately swore a solemn oath.

“That’s right, we have a 24/7 surveillance system. Not even a mouse can leave the Li family’s house quietly.” The other members of the Liu family who were in charge of surveillance immediately chimed in.

The Grand Elder is known for his ruthlessness. If they don't seize the time to prove their innocence now, it will be too late for them to argue when the Grand Elder gets truly angry.

"Then explain the situation to me." The eldest elder of the Liu family had an exceptionally cold expression.

He couldn't believe that several living people had simply vanished into thin air. They must have used some unknown method to leave the Li family, or perhaps Li Yan had hidden them away.

"Elder, that brat Qin Fei once snatched a magical artifact called the God-Trapping Tower from the Qi family. Is it possible that he hid someone inside?" At this moment, Liu Wen's protector seemed to have thought of something and quickly asked.

"Trapped in the God Tower?"

Upon hearing this, the Liu family elder immediately focused his gaze on Li Yan.

"Don't look at me. Since you all know that the Tower of Trapped Gods is a treasure, how could Qin Fei possibly give it to me? If you have the ability, then go and verify it with the person in charge." Li Yan directly pushed the blame towards Qin Fei.

He knew that Qin Fei was currently trapped by the sect leader of the Divine Martial Sect and could not get out. If the Liu family really wanted to verify this, they would inevitably have to negotiate with the Divine Martial Sect. At that time, the two forces might even fight each other.

So if he doesn't try to shift the blame now, what is he waiting for?

"Elder, I think we should search them first." At this moment, a member of the Liu family came up with a bad idea in front of everyone.

“That’s right, we can’t just leave here based on what he said. The Tower of Confinement might be hidden on him.” Another member of the Liu family chimed in.

Although Li Yan spoke eloquently, who knew if he was lying? Therefore, the best way was to search Li Yan.

"search?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yan laughed, but it was a cold laugh.

He directly threw his spatial ring to the Liu family member who said he wanted to search him, saying, "You can search my spatial ring, but my spatial ring contains the core cultivation techniques of my Li family. If you can bear the consequences, then you can search as you please."

Li Yan and his group are indeed at a disadvantage, but that doesn't mean they have no deterrent power at all.

If this member of the Liu family dares to touch the core cultivation technique of the Li family, he will not only die, but he will also implicate the entire Liu family.

Because spying on someone else's core secrets is tantamount to declaring war, how could he bear the consequences?
