"Dai Dalong, are you ever going to stop?"

Huang Zicheng angrily rebuked, as did the figure in black.

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong. Judging from the man's figure, it was not Dai Dalong.

The figure in black didn't waste any words with him, and summoned a large gray-white net, sweeping away the enemy.

This is the Yin Luo Net obtained by killing Liu Mingxin. It is a top-grade magical artifact with the effect of causing people to fall into a deep sleep.

He was startled and quickly slapped out a defensive talisman. Buzz! The talisman transformed into a light shield, blocking his way.

"Sizzle".

The gray netting kept eroding the light shield, but the shield's defense was amazing, managing to block it completely and preventing it from advancing even an inch.

Huang Zicheng breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Sir, who exactly are you? If you've come for spirit stones, I can give them to you; why bother with violence?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, he felt a wave of drowsiness wash over him, and in an instant, his eyelids closed and he passed out.

"Promenade"

A tremendous force woke Huang Zicheng. Just as he was about to cry out in pain, he found himself bound hand and foot and unable to move.

"Who was chasing you just now?"

The dark figure spoke in a hoarse voice.

"If I... if I tell you, will you let me go?"

Huang Zicheng asked tentatively, his face full of fear.

"Of course, I always keep my word."

The shadowy figure chuckled and nodded.

"It's Dai Dalong," Huang Zicheng said through gritted teeth.

To his surprise, the other party did not ask why Dai Dalong was chasing him, but instead asked him to repeat himself.

"Dai Dalong!"

"Speak louder, I can't hear you!" the dark figure sneered.

"Dai Dalong, it's Dai Dalong!"

Huang Zicheng roared with all his might, as if he wanted to shout out all the bitterness and grievances of the past few years.

But the next instant, an invisible sword aura struck his throat, and he stared wide-eyed at the fingertips of the dark figure.

"Didn't you promise to let me go?"

After killing Huang Zicheng, the shadowy figure immediately staged the scene, making it so that bystanders could see that Huang Zicheng was dead, but could not tell how he died.

After doing all this, the dark figure finally revealed its true form, which turned out to be Li Chengxuan.

"With Dai Dalong as a cover, they shouldn't be able to find me."

He smiled slightly, turned and left.

Immediately.

Li Chengxuan found a secluded spot with a good view and finally looked out over Qinghefang City.

By this time, the market was in complete chaos. Barbarians, bandits, and rogue cultivators taking advantage of the situation were fighting each other in a chaotic manner. He even saw a demonic cultivator covered in demonic energy.

The situation is too chaotic; even a Foundation Establishment cultivator who gets caught in it cannot guarantee a safe escape.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel relieved. If the Li family had hesitated even a little or acted even slightly slower, they might have been in deep trouble.

He looked around for a while, but did not see Li Defu or Li Deguo. The area around the "West Gate" had been occupied by a large number of barbarians.

However, he also saw many familiar faces, the first of whom was Niu Qingqing, who was over ten feet tall. She was radiating spiritual light and her figure grew several feet taller. With just one foot, she crushed several barbarians to death.

As for the Liu family, they were probably too slow to react. Now they are surrounded by a group of masked rogue cultivators who are taking advantage of the chaos and unable to escape. In just one glance, two members of the Liu family were killed. Even if they manage to break out in the end, probably less than one in ten will survive.

Within sight, the most eye-catching sight was the rock in the center of the market, where the giant rock was suppressing three Core Formation cultivators from the Yunxia Sect single-handedly.

Suddenly.

boom!

Then, the rock shook the mountain and suddenly burst forth with a terrifying aura. Immediately afterward, the Sun-Shooting Bow in his hand shone brightly, and an arrow was shot out.

puff!

The arrow pierced through the chest of a Core Formation cultivator, none other than Zhao Zhenren, who had long been stationed in Qinghefang Market.

The next moment, Master Zhao swayed and fell straight to the ground.

"To kill a Core Formation cultivator with a single arrow, this Rock-Shaking Mountain is indeed quite powerful. No wonder it dared to attack Qinghe Market."

Upon seeing this scene, Li Chengxuan's heart stirred slightly.

In his view, although Zhao Zhenren was only a fake core cultivator, he could barely exert the strength of a true core cultivator by relying on the remaining array of the market. Such combat power was not weak even in the entire cultivation world. Yet he was killed instantly by an arrow. One can imagine the strength of the Rock Shaking Mountain.

The key point is that the Panshi tribe is located in Yuezhou, which borders Longnan County in Yongzhou. Previously, it was separated by Qinghe Market, so the cultivators in Longnan did not feel any pressure.

But now that the market town has been destroyed, the future is uncertain. Living next to such a powerful alien race is not a good thing.

Li Chengxuan's mind raced, and he turned and left.

……

Several hours later.

In a relatively secluded valley.

Li Chengxuan reunited with the Li family group that had left earlier. About ten people with the surname Li were still there, while most of the people with other surnames had run away, leaving only two or three.

"The market town has completely fallen, Elder Defu..."

Li Chengxuan didn't finish speaking, but everyone understood what he meant.

After a few moments of silence, Li Chengjiu said, "Then let's go back to the family first."

"Okay, sure."

Li Chengxuan nodded and consciously walked to the front of the group to lead everyone.

"Steward Chengxuan, wait a minute. We can't take the same old route. I just went to scout it out. There are barbarian tribes hiding over there, from the Yinchuan tribe."

Li Chengfu quickly appeared from the side, speaking as he blatantly extended his hand, which had been injured while probing the path.

You should know that he had said the wrong thing earlier, intending to use his clansmen as scapegoats. If he doesn't do something now, he'll likely face a terrible end when he returns to his clan.

So he quickly took the risk and went to explore the area.

Upon hearing this, Li Chengxuan glanced at him, and then, thinking of his uncle Li Delu, sighed and said, "Fine, I'll do as you say."

This statement has a double meaning. What exactly does it mean to let bygones be bygones, or does it only refer to returning to the old path? The deeper meaning behind this is clearly something Li Chengxuan did intentionally.

……

The Li family took a long detour, using a side path to reach the nearby Longzhong County, and then from there entered Longnan County. It took them several months to finally return to Zhuxia Mountain.

Upon their return, clan chief Li Debao immediately summoned everyone for questioning, and Li Chengxuan and the others naturally explained everything in detail.

After a long while.

"Thank you for your hard work, Defu and Dede. The family will send people to search for them."

Li Debao sighed heavily, his face filled with grief.

"We'll take our leave now."

Everyone said in unison.

"Chengxuan, stay."

Li Debao suddenly spoke up.

After everyone left, only Li Debao and Li Chengxuan remained in the room.

"Thank you so much for saving everyone."

Li Debao bowed and said.

If it weren't for Li Chengxuan covering their retreat, those dozen or so members of the Li family would have been lucky to escape with half of their lives.

"Clan leader, you flatter me. I am also a member of the Li family."

Lee Seung-hyun spoke frankly.

"Alright, since that's the case, I'll give you a heads-up: the next Foundation Establishment Pill in the family is yours."

Li Debao looked very serious.

"Thank you, elder." Li Chengxuan bowed.

Given his potential, obtaining a Foundation Establishment Pill would have been a given, and now that Li Debao has personally promised, it's even more secure.

Moreover, Li Defu's statement proves that the Li family has the ability to obtain Foundation Establishment Pills.

"By the way, clan leader, may I ask Elder Deping if he is breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage?"

Lee Seung-hyun changed the subject and asked.
