The new emperor personally summoned the civil and military officials of the court and said solemnly, "My beloved ministers, my Piaoyun Dynasty has now witnessed the power of the Li family. For the sake of my thousands of people and for the continued existence of my Piaoyun Dynasty, we must express our most sincere submission to the Li family. When we go to apologize, we must prepare the most generous gifts to show our sincerity."

The court officials nodded in agreement, and then each set about their own tasks, using the entire dynasty's resources to prepare a generous apology gift.

Rare treasures from all over the world were continuously transported to the palace, including many rare spiritual herbs, spiritual minerals, and various magical artifacts containing powerful spiritual energy.

These treasures were normally the national treasures of the Piaoyun Dynasty, but now, in order to gain the Li family's forgiveness, they were all brought out without hesitation.

After several days of preparation, everything was ready. The new emperor, accompanied by his high-ranking officials and several sage kings, embarked on a grand journey to apologize to the Li family.

In the Piaoyun Dynasty.

Seeing this, Jiang Yu thought to himself, "The Piaoyun Dynasty is really sensible; they know what to do to save their lives."

However, Tianyi seemed to see through his thoughts and said calmly, "It's not that they know what's good for them, it's that they're afraid. After such a painful lesson, if they still don't know what's good for them, that would be truly foolish. What they're doing now is just a helpless move to survive."

Jiang Yu nodded slightly, agreeing with Tian Yi's words. He then looked at the terrified people of the Piaoyun Dynasty and couldn't help but sigh that the cultivation world was indeed a place where the strong were respected. Once absolute strength was displayed, enemies could be completely subdued and dare not have the slightest thought of disobedience.

Old Huang seemed to be attracted by the commotion. He slowly stood up, stretched, and then shook his head as he looked at the group of people. His eyes revealed a hint of laziness and disdain, as if to say that the arrogance of the Piaoyun Dynasty was utterly ridiculous.

……

……

Li family.

"Li family, how dare you provoke my Xingyao Sect! Get out here!"

A furious roar exploded in front of the Li family mansion, making the surrounding air buzz.

A group of cultivators dressed in gorgeous clothes, their spiritual energy surging, surrounded a middle-aged man with a fierce face and an arrogant expression, standing in front of the Li family's gate.

This middle-aged man was Liu Meng, one of the stewards of the Xingyao Sect. He had come to the Li family to demand an explanation on the orders of the sect leader, hence his arrogant demeanor.

There were often many cultivators coming and going around the Li family mansion, either to purchase spiritual items or to visit the powerful members of the Li family.

Upon hearing this roar, everyone stopped in their tracks, their faces showing astonishment, and all turned their gazes toward the group of uninvited guests in front of the Li family's gate.

"What's wrong with the Xingyao Sect? How dare they cause trouble at the Li family? Do they have a death wish?" A young cultivator in a green robe muttered under his breath, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Who can argue with that? The Li family is a dominant force in Qingzhou, with a deep foundation and countless powerful figures. Although the Xingyao Sect has some reputation, compared to the Li family, they are nothing but a small fry." An old man next to him shook his head and sighed, seemingly already foreseeing the tragic end of the Xingyao Sect members.

Liu Meng, oblivious to the strange looks from the crowd, continued to shout at the top of his lungs: "Listen up, Li family! The spirit mine that my Xingyao Sect discovered a few days ago has vanished overnight. It must have been secretly stolen by your Li family. If you don't hand over the spirit mine today and give my Xingyao Sect a satisfactory explanation, don't blame my Xingyao Sect for being impolite!"

As he spoke, he waved his arms, looking as if he had already decided that the Li family was the culprit and was just waiting for them to confess and beg for mercy.

The people around were stunned.

"No way, if you're going to make an excuse, at least make a good one! Saying the Li family wants their spirit mine is ridiculous. The Li family is the overlord of Qingzhou!"

"Hahahaha, has the Xingyao Sect lost its mind? How dare they accuse the Li family of stealing their spirit mines? It's utterly ridiculous!" A cultivator in a brocade robe clutched his stomach, laughing so hard he almost fell over, his eyes full of mockery.

"That's right. The Li family has such a status and position that they can make all the forces in Qingzhou tremble with a stomp of their feet. If they want spirit mines, countless people will rush to offer them to them. Why would they need to snatch them from the Xingyao Sect? The Xingyao Sect thinks too highly of themselves. Do they really think their little fortune is enough to catch the eye of the Li family?" A gray-robed cultivator next to him echoed with a face full of disdain.

"In my opinion, the Xingyao Sect has probably gotten too used to being fawned over and doesn't know their own worth. They don't even know whose territory this is, yet they dare to act so wildly in front of the Li family. They'll get what's coming to them later!" A female cultivator carrying a long sword sneered, looking at the Xingyao Sect members with disdain.

Liu Meng sensed something was wrong, but he didn't care at all.

They have connections with Xingyao Sect; they have a noble young master from the Seven Star Immortal Dynasty behind them, and that noble young master is currently a guest at their Xingyao Sect.

Upon hearing that the Li family had offended the young master, Xingyaomen went straight to the Li family, whom they had never even heard of, to cause trouble without saying a word.

Liu Meng shouted at the top of his lungs, "Head of the Li family, stop cowering in there like a turtle! Get out here and apologize! Hand over the stolen spirit mines and give my Xingyao Sect a generous compensation, or I will wipe your Li family out of Qingzhou today!"

His arrogant words echoed in front of the Li family mansion, but the people around him only found him more and more ridiculous.

A cultivator nearby couldn't help but sneer, "The Star Glory Sect is really courting death! They actually made the Li family head come out and apologize. They probably really think they can bully the Li family. Don't they know how many years the Li family has dominated Qingzhou? Their foundation is deeper than anyone can imagine. How could they possibly afford to offend them?"

"Hmph, they probably really don't know how powerful the Li family is," another cultivator said, frowning.

At that moment, the world changed color.

The once clear sky was suddenly shrouded in a thin layer of mist. Sunlight shone through the mist, creating a strange light and shadow effect, as if the heavens were veiling a mysterious veil over what was about to happen.

In the distance, a flying boat slowly approaches.

The airship radiated a soft light, not dazzling, but exuding an indescribable sense of luxury. Its shape resembled a crane spreading its wings, its lines smooth and graceful, every detail showcasing exquisite craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail.

The ship's hull was engraved with various mysterious runes, which shimmered with a faint light, seemingly providing the airship with a continuous source of power.

This was the carriage that the Piaoyun Dynasty had brought to apologize. They knew that their purpose in coming was to express their sincerest submission to the Li family, so even though the flying boat itself was extremely luxurious, they deliberately concealed its presence and maintained a low profile to avoid offending the Li family.

As the flying boat drew closer, the surrounding cultivators cast curious glances at it.

Most of them had already guessed that this might be some force that had come to visit the Li family, but they never expected it to be such a grand affair.

The flying boat slowly landed on an open space not far from the Li family mansion. It landed almost silently, as light as a feather falling.

The hatch slowly opened, and the first to step out were several guards in uniform. They looked serious and scanned their surroundings warily to ensure there was no potential danger.

Then, the new emperor, surrounded by his courtiers and several sage kings, slowly stepped out of the flying boat.

The new emperor wore a magnificent yet dignified dragon robe and a crown. The jewels inlaid on the crown shimmered brilliantly in the dim light, but his expression was extremely humble, forming a stark contrast with his magnificent attire.

The court officials were also dressed in fine clothes, but they all restrained their aura and dared not be ostentatious in the slightest. They all lowered their heads and followed behind the new emperor, appearing cautious and timid.

The sage kings and patriarchs looked solemn. They knew the importance of this apology trip to the Piaoyun Dynasty, and they understood the power and inviolability of the Li family.

As their gaze swept over the Li family mansion and the Xingyao Sect members causing trouble, they couldn't help but frown slightly, secretly sighing that the Xingyao Sect was truly courting death, daring to be so presumptuous in front of the Li family.

Just as the flying boat landed and the people of the Piaoyun Dynasty came out one after another, Liu Meng, who was shouting arrogantly in front of the Li family mansion, finally noticed the strangeness behind him.

He was originally preoccupied with how to force the Li family to submit and make the head of the Li family come out to apologize, but the faint spiritual energy fluctuations that had been emanating from the approaching flying boat still caught his attention.

Liu Meng frowned, a strange sense of irritation rising within him. He reluctantly stopped shouting and slowly turned his head to see what was going on.

When his gaze fell upon the luxurious yet understated airship, and the group of elegantly dressed but humble-looking people emerging from it, his eyes widened and a look of surprise instantly appeared on his face.

The Xingyao Sect cultivators beside him also noticed something amiss and turned to look along with Liu Meng.

For a moment, everyone was stunned, their eyes filled with doubt and shock.

"Who...who is this person?" Liu Meng couldn't help but mutter to himself, his voice filled with disbelief.

He pondered to himself, judging from their demeanor, this group of people were clearly also after the Li family. But who exactly were they? Were they here to cause trouble for the Li family like he was, or did they have some other purpose?

The other cultivators from the Star Glory Sect were also whispering among themselves.

"Judging from this setup, they seem to have quite a background. Could they also be here to support the Li family?" a young cultivator whispered, his voice tinged with worry.

"Hmph, who cares who they are? Our Star Glory Sect has the noble young master of the Seven Star Immortal Dynasty behind us. Are we afraid of them?" Although an older cultivator spoke toughly, he could not hide the doubt and unease in his eyes.

As Liu Meng listened to the discussions, his brows furrowed even more. He carefully observed the people of the Piaoyun Dynasty, from the new emperor in his dragon robe and crown who wore a humble expression, to the well-dressed but cautious courtiers, and then to the solemn-looking sage kings. He felt more and more that these people were not simple.

"Could it be that some powerful force heard about the commotion here and came specifically to take advantage of the chaos, hoping to gain some benefits from the Li family?"

Liu Meng secretly guessed, but felt it was unlikely, since these people's expressions and demeanor didn't seem like they were there to cause trouble.

He looked at the airship again. Its exquisite and sophisticated appearance, as well as the mysterious runes that shimmered on its hull, all indicated the extraordinary status of its owner.

These people look incredibly powerful!

A powerful pressure instantly appeared; it was the pressure from a Saint King of the Piaoyun Dynasty.
Bang bang bang, instantly, everyone from Xingyaomen knelt down.

Everyone was stunned, staring at this scene.

The people from Xingyaomen were still kneeling on the ground, not yet recovered from their shock.

As soon as they looked up, they saw that everyone from the Piaoyun Dynasty had knelt down.

"We sinners pay homage to our ancestor!"

Shocked!
Gulp. Everyone around was stunned and swallowed hard.

Guests? These are hardly guests!

This is clearly an apology!
