Mortal: I became invincible after becoming sworn brothers with Han Li.

"senior……"

Yang Qingqi sensed the displeasure in Li Yunfan's words and hurriedly looked up to explain, but she was interrupted by Li Yunfan as soon as she uttered two words.

"Alright, I know you two are anxious to save your father and that's why you're pinning your hopes on me... Fine, I'll help you two rescue Fellow Daoist Yang this time, which will also be considered repayment for the spiritual fire I obtained from your Yang family's secret place. As for whether you can hold off the Qian family afterward, that's none of my business."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Chongying grabbed Yang Jingshen and, together with the black-robed Blood Poison, landed on the ground from the air. Both of them looked at Li Yunfan, this unfamiliar cultivator, with some wariness.

"Fellow Daoist, I am Qian Chongying, the head of the Qian family of Tieyan Mountain. May I ask your name and why you are here?" Qian Chongying casually threw the unconscious Yang Jingshen to the ground, then cupped his hands and said to Li Yunfan.

"Father!"

Seeing their father covered in blood, his life hanging in the balance, Yang Qingqi and Yang Qinghan's expressions changed instantly, their eyes filled with resentful killing intent as they looked at Qian Chongying and Xue Du.

However, Qian Chongying had no time to pay attention to them at this moment. Even Xue Du, who harbored ill intentions towards the two women, did not glance at them. Both of them stared at Li Yunfan with solemn expressions.

They had already entered the Foundation Establishment stage, so they could naturally sense Li Yunfan's undisguised spiritual energy fluctuations.

Late Foundation Establishment cultivator!

Li Yunfan glanced at the unconscious Yang Jingshen, scanned him briefly with his divine sense, and found that the other party still had some weak breathing. Only then did he turn his head to look at Qian Chongying and Xue Du.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Qian, a pleasure to meet you! I am Li Yunfan. May I ask the name of the other fellow Daoist?" Li Yunfan said calmly, his tone devoid of any emotion.

"This is my friend, known as the Blood Poison Cultivator. You can just call him Blood Poison, fellow Daoist," Qian Chongying introduced Blood Poison, and then asked again.

"Why is Fellow Daoist Li here today? Could it be that you know someone from the Yang family?"

"Fellow Daoist Qian is right. I do have some connection with the Yang family. Although I do not wish to get involved in the conflict between your two families, I would like to ask you to give me face and release the Yang family head in order to repay some of my debts. How about we stop fighting for now?" Li Yunfan said with a smile and a firm tone.

Upon hearing this, Qian Chongying's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"Why must you get involved in this mess, fellow Daoist? How about this: if you don't interfere in the Yang family's affairs, I, Qian, am willing to give you five thousand spirit stones as a gift from the Qian family. What do you say?"

Ningzhou is already resource-scarce, and the Qian family is just one of the small families. The number of spirit stones they can obtain each year is not much. In addition, with the maintenance of the family's operation, the cultivation of the family members, and the large amount of resources supplied to the Foundation Establishment family head, even less can be left.

Moreover, Qian Chongying had already given away a large amount of spirit stones to get Xue Du to help him. Asking him to take out tens of thousands more to give to Li Yunfan would be tantamount to cutting flesh from his own body. If it weren't for the considerable benefits he would gain after annexing the Yang family, he probably wouldn't even want to take out five thousand.

Moreover, in his mind, Li Yunfan was very likely a rogue cultivator. Although he was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, how much wealth could a rogue cultivator have? Just leaving this place would earn him five thousand, which he considered an extremely worthwhile deal.

"Patriarch Qian is truly generous. Five thousand spirit stones is indeed a considerable fortune for us rogue cultivators," Li Yunfan said with a light laugh.

Upon hearing this, a smile gradually appeared on Qian Chongying's face. Being able to send this late-stage cultivator away for a few spirit stones was naturally what he wanted to see most.

However, upon hearing Li Yunfan's words, the Yang family members all changed their expressions, feeling extremely anxious. They were very worried that Li Yunfan would succumb to temptation, since the other party had no connection with their Yang family. Even if the other party agreed, they couldn't say anything more.

"Senior, my Yang family is willing to offer 10,000 spirit stones, just hoping that you can save the family head and protect the Yang family!" Yang Taizhong suddenly shouted at Li Yufan, doubling the number of spirit stones that Qian Chongying had offered.

Qian Zhongying's smile froze, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes as he looked at Yang Taizhong. He wished he could just strike him dead.

However, the most important thing at the moment was to get rid of Li Yunfan. But he wouldn't engage in any "bidding" with Yang Taizhong. So he lowered his head slightly, moved his lips slightly, and began to communicate with the Blood Poison Divine Spirit beside him through telepathy.

However, the two of them had only just returned to this place and had not personally witnessed Li Yunfan suppressing ten Qi Refining disciples of the Qian Family to the ground with just his divine sense. Otherwise, they would never have used their divine sense to transmit their voices in front of Li Yunfan.

Hearing the telepathic communication between Qian Chongying and the Black-Robed Blood Poison, a subtle, cold smile crept onto Li Yunfan's lips.

A moment later, Qian Chongying ended the telepathic communication, looked up at Li Yunfan, and said with a very kind smile.

"Fellow Daoist, we only have a grudge against the Yang family, and have no intention of being your enemy. Don't be fooled and taken for a fool. My Qian family is willing to give you ten thousand spirit stones. With so many spirit stones, your cultivation will surely improve again, and you might even be able to touch the threshold of Core Formation. Don't miss such a great opportunity!"

After speaking, Qian Chongying deliberately paused, staring intently at Li Yunfan's expression. Finding that the other party remained calm, as if unmoved by his promise, he withdrew his smile and spoke again in a somewhat cold tone.

"Fellow Daoist, are you truly determined to get involved in this mess?"

"I appreciate your kind offer, but I have no shortage of spirit stones, and I have no intention of interfering in the conflict between your two families. I'll say it again: as long as you release Patriarch Yang, I'll stop fighting for now and leave. Whether you fight or make peace in the future will have nothing to do with me," Li Yunfan said calmly.

He had made his point very clear, but for Qian Chongying, if he missed today, he would never have such a good opportunity again. After all, Xue Du couldn't stay here forever, and once the other party left, it wouldn't be easy to invite him back.

Yang Jingshen was even less likely to let him leave. Today, his Yang family had been harmed by him, and he himself had been severely injured. How could he not avenge this? So today, he was determined to completely wipe out the Yang family.

"So, you're determined to protect the Yang family, fellow Daoist. You should think this through carefully, lest you throw away all your cultivation in a moment of impulsiveness!" Qian Zhongying said in a chilling tone, making no attempt to conceal the threat in his voice.

The reason he wasn't afraid of Li Yunfan, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, was entirely due to the blood poison behind him. As a steward of the Chizhou Dry Bone Sect, Li Yunfan's poison skills were something even late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators would be wary of. With Li Yunfan assisting him, he was 70% confident that he could kill Li Yunfan.

That's why he was able to threaten Li Yunfan with such confidence, without worrying about the latter's late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation level.

Li Yunfan sighed softly. As expected, the other party did not want to miss this opportunity to destroy the Yang family. However, he was not worried about the two of them joining forces. On the contrary, he was looking forward to the battle so that he could test the power of the yellow spirit fire.

"Further words are useless. If you retreat, you may be able to save your life. If you insist on going your own way, I, Li, will not mind sending you on your way."

Upon hearing this, Xue Du immediately stepped forward, exchanged a glance with Qian Chongying, and revealed a ruthless look on his face, clearly very confident in his poison skills.

The next moment, the two rushed towards Li Yunfan at the same time, and almost instantly they were in front of him. One raised his hand and released a black and red thorn light, while the other pulled out a light blue longsword at some unknown time and slashed straight at Li Yunfan's neck!
