“Wow, this is hilarious! Did I just hear that right? Someone wants the Tai Long Sect to submit?”
“What kind of family is the Li clan? Are they crazy coming here to seek attention?”
“Goodness, that’s just asking for death. Truly brave!”
“I thought they were here to pay respects, but turns out they came looking for trouble.”
Some sneered, others showed disdain, and some simply laughed scornfully.
The small town suddenly buzzed with excitement.
Tai Long Sect was famously powerful nearby, and now someone dared to challenge them during their disciple gathering!
Wasn’t this a slap in Tai Long Sect’s face?
Even the street vendors shook their heads dismissively; they all knew Tai Long Sect’s strength. Probably any elder from Tai Long could easily crush this Li family.
Actually, not just crush—they wouldn’t even break through Tai Long Sect’s protective formation.
An old man held the hand of a little girl. The girl blinked and asked, “Grandpa, are they here to challenge Tai Long Sect?”
The old man scowled slightly and nodded, “Yes, but remember, if you don’t have strength, you must be cautious. Don’t be like this Li clan.”
The girl responded with a soft “Oh.” “Grandpa, isn’t the Li family strong?”
The old man nodded. He was once a scholar himself. Stroking his beard, he wanted to compose a poem mocking the Li family but found no fitting words. “I’ve never even heard of the Li family. How could they compare to Tai Long Sect?”
Meanwhile, upstairs…
“What kind of little lackeys think they’re so tough, daring to poke the Tai Long Sect’s tail? Haven’t they heard the saying, ‘Don’t touch a tiger’s tail’?”
A man fanned himself, shaking his head in disbelief. “Where did the Li family crawl out from? Such ignorance.”
The leader of Tai Long Sect was a Refining Void powerhouse!
Those upstairs all agreed.
“A mouse provoking a cat—just asking for death.”
“Heh, what a nice gift to Tai Long Sect.”
As they chatted, everyone inside Tai Long Sect was stunned.
The disciples were eagerly discussing who might enter the inner sect, never expecting someone to bring such entertainment.
“Does the Li family have any brains? How dare they provoke us Tai Long Sect!”
“Seeking death! Who knows if the elder will intervene!”
The deputy sect leader sneered and immediately sent a telepathic message to an elder.
At that moment, a figure shot out, and someone exclaimed, “It’s Elder Zhu Long!”
The disciples and elders of Tai Long Sect looked toward the Li family’s warship, silently mourning for them.
Elder Zhu Long was ruthless—those who died by his hand would be utterly obliterated!
His cultivation was at the Refining Spirit level, but his combat prowess rivaled a deputy sect leader at the Spirit Transformation stage!
Despite his old and frail appearance, a lump bulging on his back, Elder Zhu Long leapt into the air, sneering at the Li family’s warship.
“How dare you provoke my Tai Long Sect! I’ll leave nothing of your Li family alive!”

Zhu Long raised his hand and struck the Li family’s warship with a palm.
Inside the Li family’s ship, the visiting guests, including Sect Leader Wang, blinked leisurely, completely at ease.
“Wait, is Tai Long Sect really this bold?”
“It’s not their fault. Anyone who crosses my Li family is dead! Tai Long Sect supporting that Ye Bufan in his forced marriage is a sure path to ruin!”
“What? You’re shameless! That’s our Li family!”
Sect Leader Wang and the others were very happy, completely unflustered, even somewhat amused. The Tai Long Sect leader had already lost a head.
What so-called Tai Long Sect? It was a dead end for them!
Therefore, they were calm, even a little amused.
All the clan elders of the Li family were present. Li Xuan calmly sipped tea. He hadn’t liked tea before, but this one was brewed from branches of the Enlightenment Tea Tree he had stolen in his youth, and he cherished it greatly.
Li Xuan set down the cup and looked at the Tai Long Sect leader. “Since you Tai Long Sect refuse the chance we offer, you will have to die.”
The Tai Long Sect leader roared with fury, “Li Xuan, you cannot touch my Tai Long Sect!”
Li Xuan shook his head. He stretched out his hand, and an invisible giant hand gripped Elder Zhu Long, applying a slight force.
Elder Zhu Long’s face in the sky turned blank, then flushed deep red. His body creaked and twisted, deforming grotesquely.
Everyone watched eagerly, expecting to see Zhu Long unleash his fearsome power to slaughter the enemy—but no one noticed anything was wrong.
With a loud bang, Zhu Long collapsed into a mass of flesh. Li Xuan released his grip, and Elder Zhu Long fell noiselessly to the center of the martial arena.
Smack.
The disciples and elders of Tai Long Sect, who were watching from above, were splattered with blood on their faces. In an instant, silence fell. They stared dumbfounded at the puddle of flesh that was Elder Zhu Long!
That was bloody pulp!
For a moment, everyone’s breath and heartbeat seemed to stop.
“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!” The first to react was the deputy sect leader, whose piercing shout sent chills down spines. “Activate the Great Formation! Activate the Great Formation!”
Hiss!
At this moment, gasps filled the arena. They could hear their hearts pounding fiercely.
Yet they couldn’t see their own faces—everyone was deathly pale, their skin covered in goosebumps.
Something terrible had happened: the Refining Spirit elder of Tai Long Sect had been instantly killed!
Reduced to a bloody mess!
“Ahhh!”
A disciple screamed, blood staining his hair and clothes.
He was outright terrified!
The guests attending the ceremony were stunned, feeling incredibly unlucky.
Then someone calmed down, believing in Tai Long Sect. “Don’t panic. This is an accident. Tai Long Sect has the Great Tai Long Formation and the sect leader and elders are here.”
“The Tai Long Sect leader is a Refining Void powerhouse!”

Within Tai Long Sect, the deputy sect leader’s figure flickered as he floated into the air, his face grim. He unleashed a mighty aura to suppress everyone.
“Everyone, be quiet. Our Tai Long Sect has the Great Tai Long Formation, capable of withstanding even peak Refining Void attacks!”
“Our sect leader will return soon! Remain calm!”
Suddenly, a beam of light enveloped the entire Tai Long Sect—that was the protective Great Formation set up by the former sect leader.
In a corner of Tai Long Sect, Mo Yao frowned slightly, speaking to the old granny beside her. “Granny Yin, with Brother Bufan gone, I must protect his sect. No more deaths.”
Granny Yin, dressed in gray, wrinkled her face but smiled gently. “Miss, don’t worry. With me here, nothing will happen. Besides, the Great Tai Long Formation is here. No Li family could break through it.”
Mo Yao nodded.
…
In the great city, a hush fell.
The street vendors swallowed hard and rubbed their eyes, doubting what they saw. That was an elder of Tai Long Sect—how could he have died instantly?
Their hearts skipped a beat, but they comforted themselves. Tai Long Sect had stood tall for years—nothing would happen to them.
Then they saw the light of the Tai Long Formation and felt reassured.
“Nothing will happen. Tai Long Sect still has the Great Formation and the sect leader!”
One vendor muttered to himself, as if to calm his nerves. Otherwise, if Tai Long Sect fell, they’d have to leave immediately to avoid getting caught in the chaos.
His words caused many others to nod in agreement.
Nearby in a tavern, both upstairs and downstairs heard this and nodded in unison.
The old man holding the little girl stroked her head and looked at the warship in the sky, ready to flee at a moment’s notice. But when he saw the Tai Long Formation, he calmed somewhat.
“Grandpa, can the Li family defeat Tai Long Sect?” the little girl asked curiously.
The old man was about to answer…
When suddenly, a head flew out from the Li family’s warship, its eyes blazing with fury.
“Li Xuan! You have no honor!”
Figures darted out from the ship.
A figure in blue lifted his foot and stomped down.
Boom!
The Tai Long Formation exploded instantly, ripples spreading out as powerful spiritual energy dispersed.
“Seal off Tai Long Sect!”
Li Xuan hovered in the air, speaking calmly.
