Li Xuan took a step, and in an instant, the Milky Way reversed, and he appeared in the Li family.

“Interesting. I’m an anomaly in this world.”

Li Xuan thought to himself that his current strength was extremely powerful.

However, there are still some things in this universe that he cannot control.

Therefore, these things need to be removed.

Just as she was pondering, a light footstep sound came, and Ye Qingcheng walked over slowly with graceful steps.

Today she was wearing a light purple silk dress, her figure was graceful and her face was beautiful, but her eyes were full of doubt.

"Li Xuan, what's wrong with you?" Ye Qingcheng leaned closer to Li Xuan, her beautiful eyes scanning him up and down, her doubts growing stronger. "I can't sense any aura from you anymore, you're just like... just like an ordinary mortal, this is so strange."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a subtle smile that seemed to hold a deeper meaning.

He didn't say anything, but simply reached out his finger and gently tapped Ye Qingcheng's smooth forehead.

"Ouch!" Ye Qingcheng winced in pain, instinctively covering her forehead and glaring reproachfully at Li Xuan. "Why did you hit me? Tell me, what happened?"

Li Xuan then slowly spoke, "This is the realm of following the natural way. How could you, a fool, possibly understand it? Don't use your shallow understanding from the past to judge my current state. Come over here and listen to me explain it to you."

Ye Qingcheng rolled her eyes. "What nonsense! 'Following the natural way'? You think I believe that?"

Li Xuan smiled and offered no explanation.

……

Within the Li family.

Li Zhan is entertaining guests.

They are guests from another major sect.

"I wonder what brings the elders of Emerald Valley to my Li family?"

Li Zhan was filled with doubts. This Emerald Valley was another extremely powerful sect, which had always been located in another distant region and rarely had any dealings with the Li family.

Moreover, as far as he knew, Emerald Valley had always been very close to the dynasty and held a pivotal position in many of the dynasty's affairs, wielding immense power.

Now, the elders of Emerald Valley have suddenly appeared uninvited at the Li family's residence, leaving Li Zhan quite puzzled.

While instructing his servants to treat him well, he secretly pondered to himself.

"Elder Zhang of Emerald Valley, your presence today is truly an honor for my Li family. May I ask what brings you here?" Li Zhan cupped his hands in greeting, his eyes filled with a hint of inquiry as he asked.

Elder Zhang of Emerald Valley put down his teacup, raised his head, and looked Li Zhan up and down with a meaningful smile on his face. He slowly said, "Clan Chief Li Zhan, I have long admired your name. I have come here today to discuss important matters, but this is a long story and I will explain it slowly."

Li Zhan was taken aback. Their Li family was so far away from Emerald Valley. How could Emerald Valley have something to discuss with their Li family?

When Li Zhan heard Elder Zhang speak so vaguely, he felt even more suspicious about the matter, but he still maintained a polite smile and said, "Elder Zhang, please speak freely. Although my Li family is not a major sect, we will do our best to cooperate if it is within our power."

Elder Zhang gave a soft snort, a hint of contempt and disdain flashing undisguisedly in his eyes. He slowly stood up, pacing back and forth, glancing at the Li family's hall furnishings out of the corner of his eye as he walked, a disdainful smile playing on his lips.

"Hmph, Clan Chief Li Zhan, don't be so sure of yourself. In this vast world of cultivation, your Li family is nothing more than a small clan. How much ability can you possibly have?" Elder Zhang's tone was full of sarcasm. "If it weren't for the King's order, why would my Emerald Valley condescend to come to this remote place to deal with you?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhan felt a surge of anger rising within him, but he knew he couldn't act impulsively at this moment. He suppressed his rage and asked as calmly as possible, "What are Your Majesty's orders? My Li family has always been law-abiding and loyal to the dynasty. If there are any requests, we hope the elder will give us instructions."

Your Majesty? What a load of bullshit!
What does the Piaoyun Dynasty, where Emerald Valley is located, want from the Li family?
Elder Zhang stopped and turned around, coldly looking at Li Zhan. "His Majesty's meaning is very clear. Your Li family should now recognize its own position. In the cultivation world, the strong are always respected. Among the many forces, your Li family is nothing more than an ant. Now His Majesty intends for your Li family to submit to Emerald Valley, so that you can be used by Emerald Valley in the future. This is a great honor for your Li family. Don't be ungrateful."

Li Zhan's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

He never expected that the elder of Emerald Valley would come with such an arrogant, rude, and domineering purpose.

To make the Li family submit? The Li family has been passed down for many years. Although they are not considered a top-tier clan, they still have their own pride and heritage. When have they ever suffered such humiliation?

"Elder Zhang, your words are excessive. My Li family has established itself in the cultivation world for many years through our own efforts and hard work. How could we easily submit to others? Moreover, why would the King issue such an order? My Li family has never offended the Piaoyun Dynasty or Emerald Valley in any way." Li Zhan's voice unconsciously rose a few decibels, his words revealing a resolute spirit of resistance.

Elder Zhang's face darkened when he saw Li Zhan dare to retort, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. "Hmph! Li Zhan, don't be so stubborn. Do you think your Li family has any other choice? You know the strength of Emerald Valley. If we disobey the King's decree, we will be making an enemy of the entire Piaoyun Dynasty. Do you think your Li family can bear such consequences?"

At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall instantly became tense. The Li family members behind Li Zhan also showed anger and clenched their fists, but they dared not make any rash moves for the time being because the other party was an elder of Emerald Valley.

Just as tensions were rising, Li Xuan and Ye Qingcheng walked over.

Li Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, instantly grasping the situation before him and understanding everything.

This so-called Piaoyun Dynasty is actually related to the Seven Star Immortal Dynasty, to which the Jiang family, the Jiang clan, belongs.

Do you want the Li family to be their dogs?
It’s a beautiful thought.

The Seven Star Immortal Dynasty is a colossal entity renowned throughout this region, with a vast and boundless territory encompassing countless sacred mountains, great rivers, and fertile lands.

Within the Immortal Dynasty, there are countless experts and numerous sects, with even more experts among them.

Its profound heritage, long history, and various mysterious magical artifacts are all enough to make other forces drool.

However, what does that amount to in front of Li Xuan?
Li Zhan said in a deep voice, "My Li family does not welcome Emerald Valley and the Piaoyun Dynasty."

"Please leave, Elder Zhang."

Elder Zhang was taken aback upon hearing this, and looked at Li Zhan with some surprise.

Elder Zhang was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, looking at Li Zhan with some surprise, seemingly unable to believe that the small Li family would dare to so openly refuse him and the decree of the Piaoyun Dynasty.

But immediately, a strong look of anger rose on his face, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light.

"Hmph! Li Zhan, how dare you!" Elder Zhang roared, his aura suddenly bursting forth.

In an instant, a powerful and domineering pressure swept outwards like a surging tide, and the entire hall seemed to be instantly swept into the center of a storm. The tables, chairs and benches began to tremble violently under this pressure, making creaking sounds, as if they would be crushed by this invisible force at any moment.

Elder Zhang glared at Li Zhan with a ferocious expression and said coldly, "Your Li family is truly courting death, aren't you? You're asking for trouble, aren't you? Don't think I'm negotiating with you. Today, your Li family has no choice but to accept this! With just a flick of my finger, I can crush everyone in your Li family right here and wipe your family's name off the face of the cultivation world forever!"
