I planted the spiritual roots for my people, and they bestowed upon me a body inscribed with incense

Upon arriving at the Luo family's residence in Suiyun County, Luo Yuan, upon learning that Li Yuan had come in person, warmly welcomed him into the guest room.

After Li Yuan explained his purpose, Luo Tong accepted Li Yuan's invitation after only a moment's thought, which surprised Li Yuan. He didn't expect Luo Tong to be the most straightforward person.

"Brother Li, I, Luo Tong, will certainly assist you in this matter. However, if you kill the Qian family traitors, it would be appropriate for us to divide the Qian family's property equally. But what about the Qian family's spiritual fields? After all, we are from Qingshan County, while the Qian family are from Longling County."

Li Yuan pondered for a moment, then said:

"My Li family will not take a single penny from this spirit field, only spirit stones and cultivation supplies. If Brother Luo can manage it, then we will give it to you."

Upon hearing this, Luo Tong's face lit up with excitement.

"Alright, with Brother Li's words, I, Luo Tong, will definitely do my utmost to help you when the time comes."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan slowly said, "In that case, let's meet in Luoshan County in three days, and then we'll head to Longling County together."

After the two reached an agreement, Li Yuan left the Luo family. As someone of the same cultivation level, Li Yuan could naturally sense that Luo Tong had clearly broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining. Although he was still relatively weak at the moment, he was still a genuine late stage Qi Refining cultivator.

With this late-stage Qi Refining helper, the chances of dealing with the Qian family are naturally much greater.

Li Yuan originally intended to continue to endure, but the Qian family continued to cause trouble for the Li family. If they were not eliminated, the Li family might face even greater trouble.

After returning to Zhushan, Li Yuan began to make arrangements.

Li Daqiang guarded the Li family, while Li Chang led the people of the Sishui Escort Agency and the advance party toward Longling County. This trip was bound to wipe out a thousand families, leaving no hidden dangers.

With Li Yuan's arrangement, the Li family and the Sishui Escort Agency in Luoshan City began to work together closely.

Three days later, seeing Luo Tong arrive at the appointment, Li Yuan smiled.

"Brother Luo, you'll be in charge of leading the way. We'll take care of that old woman from the Qian family and those two young cultivators."

Luo Tong nodded.

"Alright, since that's the case, I'll back you up. The Qian family doesn't have a good reputation in Longling County, so I'm not afraid of them having any helpers."

After saying that, the two of them set off on their journey to Longling County.

The reason Li Yuan dared to go to Longling County was naturally due to the White Snake. Although the White Snake wrapped around Li Yuan's sleeve was still at the late stage of the first level, judging from the feedback it gave Li Yuan, it was only one step away from the peak of Qi Refining.

This is all thanks to the Qian family for attracting the late-stage level one white jade pangolin. The white jade pangolin's inner core also successfully helped the white snake advance its cultivation level further.

It was ten days later when the group crossed Qingshan County and arrived at Longling County. After arriving at the Qian family's residence, Li Yuan investigated the Qian family and found that there was only one Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator and two Qi Refining Level 2 cultivators.

After discovering that besides the three people, only the old woman from the Qian family remained, Li Yuan felt relieved.

After the members of the Sishui Escort Agency and the bandit-suppression team arrived near the Qian family's residence, Li Yuan no longer held back and entered the Qian family's gate in the same way.

The Qian family's residence was a beautiful place with clear waters and lush mountains. The entire mountain forest behind the courtyard belonged to the Qian family's residence. Li Yuan estimated that there were about thirteen acres of spirit fields.

Li Yuan, who swaggered into the Qian family's house, was quickly spotted by the family's servants.

"First, a servant shouted loudly, and then many servants came up and surrounded Li Yuan. Li Yuan was not flustered at all. He simply released his magic power and immediately suppressed the surrounding servants."

Then Li Yuan, his face cold and stern, roared at the crowd:

"Anyone who is not from a thousand families should leave quickly within half an incense stick's time."

These words, imbued with magical power, deafened all the servants of the Thousand Families. Those who could serve as servants in the immortal realm were all extremely shrewd; seeing the situation was dire, they all began to flee into the distance. Only a portion of the Thousand Families' mortal servants remained, none of them having left.

Just then, someone from the Qian family finally couldn't sit still any longer. The Qian family's most powerful cultivator, a fourth-level Qi Refining cultivator, stepped forward.

"Senior, I, Qianliu, greet you. I don't know who I am, but I apologize to you." After saying this, he bowed to Li Yuan.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan's face remained unmoved, and the corners of his mouth slightly lifted.

"Where are your elders? Summon them out. If they don't come out today, your entire family will be wiped out."

Upon hearing this, Qianliu's face paled with fear. He immediately took out a blue jade pendant and began to send a message. A hundred miles away, the old woman from the Qian family was drinking tea with the Li family members who had conspired with her that day.

A jade pendant flashed at his waist, and after picking it up and glancing at it, his face immediately darkened.

"Fellow Daoist Huang, it must be that scoundrel from the Li family who has come knocking on our door. Help me kill this man, and I will fulfill my promise immediately."

Upon hearing this, the cultivator surnamed Huang's face lit up with joy.

"Haha, in that case, I will immediately accompany Fellow Daoist Qian on a trip and we will definitely annihilate this hothead from the Li family."

The two of them hurriedly headed towards the Qian family.

Standing in the courtyard of a thousand houses, Li Yuan was already getting impatient.

"Where is your ancestor?"

Seeing the man's anxious expression and inability to answer, Li Yuan stopped waiting. After signaling to Luo Tong, Li Yuan unleashed two fireballs at Qian Liu.

Qianliu, who had desperately blocked the two attacks, was immediately pinned to the ground by Li Yuan's two more wooden spike techniques, leaving him powerless to resist.

As for the other two Qi Refining Level 2 cultivators from the Qian family, they were pinned to the ground by Luo Tong like chickens. However, Luo Tong did not kill them. After capturing them and bringing them to Li Yuan, he stepped aside.

Li Yuan looked at the two men who had already wet themselves in fear, and then slowly said:

"Your Qian family elders have trespassed into my Li family's sacred land without cause, and even plotted to seize my Li family's spiritual fields. Considering that your Qian family elders did not make the first move against my Li family's young children, I will let you two die knowing the truth."

After saying that, Li Yuan ended their lives with two palm strikes.

Li Yuan was surprised that none of the three of them had a Qiankun bag. After waiting for half an incense stick's time at the Qian family's residence, the old servant of the Qian family finally returned to the Qian family.

Seeing the scene before him, the old servant of the Qian family was instantly consumed by rage, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"You little bastard from the Li family, how cruel you are."

Li Yuan, standing on the ground, looked at the old servant.

"If you hadn't lured that monster to my Li family, your Qian family would have been safe for the time being. But after two offenses, your Qian family will surely be wiped out."

Upon hearing this, the old servant's eyes turned fierce, and his aura became more imposing than ever before.

"What a peaceful life! In that case, I'll let your Li family have a peaceful life too." After saying that, the old servant cast several spells at Li Yuan, and then controlled the silver hairpin on his head to attack Li Yuan.

At this moment, the patriarch of the Qian family had clearly lost his mind. As soon as Li Yuan showed a weakness, he would frantically bite at Li Yuan.

Under the onslaught of countless magical forces, Li Yuan was clearly struggling to cope.

Realizing he couldn't delay any longer, Li Yuan decisively released the white snake from his body. As soon as the white snake appeared, a huge snake tail lashed out at Old Woman Qian.

With a single blow, he knocked the strongest member of the Qian family to the ground, where he lay motionless.
