The old patriarch of Emerald Valley waited for news in the residence arranged by the Piaoyun Dynasty, filled with worry and indignation. Every moment felt incredibly long to him.

He both hoped that the Piaoyun Dynasty could send troops to avenge Emerald Valley as soon as possible, and worried that the Li family's mysterious and unpredictable strength would make all of this a pipe dream.

Just as he was feeling restless, he suddenly sensed a powerful surge of spiritual energy rapidly approaching him.

He felt a chill run down his spine and quickly got up and walked out of the room. Looking up, he saw five streaks of light streaking across the sky like shooting stars, rushing toward his location.

As the figures approached, the Jade Valley Patriarch recognized them and was both surprised and delighted.

The arrival was made by Emperor Piaoyun, who sent two Saint Realm experts and three Saint Realm masters.

The two Saint Realm experts, one of whom was dressed in black robes, had a cold and stern face, and his eyes were as cold as stars. He was also the Dark Saint whom the Jade Valley Ancestor had seen before.
The other person was dressed in white, with an otherworldly air, like an immortal descended to earth, but beneath that seemingly gentle face lay a sharp edge.

The three Saint Realm experts also possessed extraordinary auras, each exuding a strong killing intent.

When the old patriarch of Emerald Valley saw the crowd, he was first taken aback, then his eyes were filled with surprise and excitement.

He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully to everyone, his voice trembling slightly with excitement: "Dark Saint, and all of you gentlemen, I never expected His Majesty to attach such importance to the affairs of my Emerald Valley, and to send such powerful experts as you to help us. I am truly grateful!"

The Dark Saint nodded slightly, his expression still cold and stern, but a faint smile flashed in his eyes, which was his response to the ancestor of Emerald Valley's greeting.

He looked at the patriarch of Emerald Valley and slowly said, "Patriarch, there's no need for that. You and I are old acquaintances. Emerald Valley has suffered such a great calamity, and since His Majesty has given the order, we should come to help. However, the Li family is just a small family that doesn't know its own limitations. They dare to be so arrogant and should be taught a good lesson."

Upon hearing this, the Jade Valley Patriarch, though somewhat worried about the Dark Saint's disdain, refrained from saying much at the moment, simply nodding in agreement: "Indeed, the Li family is extremely arrogant. If it weren't for the assistance of you gentlemen, Jade Valley would likely never have recovered. However, the Li family's methods are quite bizarre, especially that yellow dog, whose strength is truly astonishing. I hope you gentlemen will not underestimate it."

Upon hearing this, the Dark Saint sneered disdainfully: "Hmph, just a yellow dog, what can it do? Even if it has some tricks up its sleeve, it's nothing but a chicken and a dog in front of us. I'd like to see what tricks the Li family can pull."

After saying that, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, clearly showing that he didn't take the Li family seriously.

Another white-robed saint beside him chuckled and chimed in, "Brother Anming is absolutely right. We are all seasoned veterans who have weathered countless storms. This little Li family is nothing but a showy facade. This time, we will make them understand the consequences of provoking my Piaoyun Dynasty."

The old patriarch of Emerald Valley smiled bitterly to himself. He knew the power of the Li family and was worried, but these people were so dismissive. He was afraid they would suffer because of this.

But at this moment, he could only hope that these experts were indeed strong enough to deal with the Li family.

He looked at the Dark Saint and couldn't help but advise again, "Dark Saint, you must be careful. That yellow dog from the Li family can kill many disciples with just a single hair, and it even blew up my Emerald Valley Master and Saint Elder with a single palm strike. It is not to be underestimated."

The Dark Saint frowned, seemingly impatient. "Ancestor, don't boost the morale of others while diminishing your own. How can we Saints compare to such insignificant figures? That yellow dog may be a bit strange, but we will have a way to deal with it. Rest assured, once we destroy the Li family, we will definitely seek justice for Emerald Valley."

Seeing his stubbornness, the Jade Valley Ancestor could not say anything more and could only sigh helplessly, silently praying that everything would go smoothly.

Seeing that the Jade Valley Ancestor would not say anything more, the Dark Saint turned to the others, his expression solemn, and said loudly, "Everyone, His Majesty has ordered that this operation be swift and decisive, and that the Li family should not be given any chance to catch their breath. Let's set off."

They took a step and disappeared.

As the old patriarch of Emerald Valley watched the figures of the Dark Saint and the other experts disappear with a single step, the already complex emotions in his heart intensified.

On one hand, he was genuinely surprised and grateful that the Piaoyun Dynasty could send such a powerful lineup, as it meant that Emerald Valley had a chance to avenge itself, and the Li family might truly be crushed under the crushing force of such power. Three Saint Realm experts—in this region, they were beings who could shake the heavens and earth with a stomp of their feet. With three Saint Realm masters assisting from the side, such strength would make anyone wary.

He pondered to himself that although the Li family had shown some amazing methods before, they would probably find it difficult to withstand such a lineup.

No matter how powerful that yellow dog is, how could it possibly contend with a Saint Realm expert? Moreover, there are three Saints by its side. This time, the Li family is probably doomed. The great grudge of Emerald Valley can finally be avenged, and the spirits of the deceased disciples, elders, and Valley Master can finally find solace.

However, on the other hand, he also had a faint worry in his heart.

The disdain shown by the Dark Saint and others towards the Li family was truly unsettling to him. The fact that the Li family could so easily annihilate the elite forces from Emerald Valley who had gone to the banquet meant they must have some unknown trump cards up their sleeves.

But these people are so dismissive; if something goes wrong during the battle, it could be a real problem. But with the die already cast, all they can do is hope everything goes smoothly.

Just as the Dark Saint and the other experts were rushing towards the Li family, the spiritual energy in the sky ahead suddenly fluctuated abnormally.

The Dark Saint's expression hardened, and he raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, his gaze turning cold as he looked toward the source of the spiritual energy fluctuations.

Before long, three figures slowly emerged from the spiritual energy fluctuations; they were Jiang Yu, Lao Huang, and Tian Yi.

Upon seeing the three, the Jade Valley Patriarch's eyes widened in fury and hatred.

He never expected to encounter these three guys he hated so much here.

He recognized the two people and the dog!
"Good! You three brats, how dare you show your faces here!" The Jade Valley Patriarch roared, his voice filled with boundless rage. "Seeing the Saint of the Floating Cloud Dynasty here, why don't you kneel down at once!"

The Dark Saint stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over Jiang Yu and the other two with indifference, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

In his eyes, these three were nothing but ants. If His Majesty had not ordered that all members of the Li family be brought back for trial, he would have wanted to kill them on the spot to save them from being an eyesore.

"Hmph, you insignificant ants, how dare you not bow your heads before this saint? I am in a good mood today, so I will allow you to live a little longer. I will take you and the rest of the Li family back with me so that you can properly face the judgment of the Piaoyun Dynasty. This will also let the world see the consequences of offending my Piaoyun Dynasty!" The Dark Saint said coldly, his voice as sharp as an ice blade, sending chills down people's spines.

Jiang Yu coldly looked at the Dark Saint and the Jade Valley Ancestor, among others, his eyes showing no fear but rather a strong sense of mockery.

Old Huang still had that seemingly simple and honest appearance, but the faint aura emanating from him was not to be underestimated. He lazily yawned, as if these people in front of him were not worth his attention.

Tianyi exuded a mysterious and powerful aura, like a vast deep sea, profound and unfathomable. He simply stood there quietly, giving people an insurmountable sense of oppression.

"You think you can force us to kneel? You think you can judge us? How utterly ridiculous!" Jiang Yu said, his voice calm yet filled with resolute confidence. "Who do you think you are, Piaoyun Dynasty? You instigated Emerald Valley to cause trouble for my Li family without cause, and now you want to bully us with your numbers. Do you really think our Li family is easy to mess with?"

Upon hearing this, the Dark Saint's face darkened, and a flash of anger appeared in his eyes. "Hmph, you ignorant fools! How dare you speak to this Saint like that? It seems you won't know your place until I teach you a lesson!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his spiritual power surged instantly, and a powerful sense of oppression swept towards Jiang Yu and the other two.
