Mortal: Fellow Daoist! May I borrow your essence for a moment?

"Brother Li, the Ye family's five protectors are dead. They will definitely not let this go."

"What should we do?"

Seeing that Li Feiyu was unharmed, Han Li quickly said.

He helped Li Feiyu kill the five protectors of the Ye family.

Once the Ye family finds out, they will definitely not let it go. I'm afraid that even experts at the Qi Refining Perfection stage or even the Foundation Establishment stage will come.

He and Li Feiyu were just two rogue cultivators, how could they possibly stand against an entire family?

"What do you think, Brother Han?"

"We should leave Jingzhou as soon as possible, and go as far away as possible."

Han Li hurriedly said that he couldn't stay in Jingzhou for even a quarter of an hour longer.

But Li Feiyu shook his head:

"Brother Han, the path of cultivation is about seizing the creation of heaven and earth and defying the heavens."

"If I hadn't killed the five guardians of the Ye family, how could I, elder brother, have broken through to the Qi Refining Perfection stage and been only one step away from Foundation Establishment?"

"Since the Ye family won't give up, then I'll wait for them in Jingzhou, brother."

"If it's just an elder at the Qi Refining Realm, then kill them all."

"If it were the Ye family patriarch who came, it wouldn't be too late for us brothers to leave. Why the rush?"

Upon hearing this, Han Li was terrified.

Li Feiyu possesses demonic powers, but he has no such advantage.

"Brother Li, I am truly incompetent. I have already risked my life to help you get rid of the Ye brothers."

"If eldest brother still wants to deal with the elders or even the patriarch of the Ye family."

"Please forgive me, I cannot help you."

Han Li helplessly cupped his hands and smiled bitterly.

Although he was persuaded by Li Feiyu to stay and deal with Ye Chengren and his two companions.

However, the process was full of twists and turns and dangerous situations.

Han Li didn't want to experience the same thing twice.

"The process was dangerous, but wasn't the result good?"

"If it weren't for Brother Han helping me kill Ye Chengren and the other two, how could you have received such good fortune?"

Li Feiyu smiled as she looked at the storage bag in Han Li's hand.

"Moreover, Brother Han's concern stems from the fact that he does not possess any secret techniques for survival."

"What do you think of Big Brother's self-destructive technique?"

With a thought, demonic energy enveloped his entire body.

In an instant, he transformed into Ye Chengren before Han Li's astonished eyes.

"The interesting things in Jingzhou are just beginning."

"Don't be in such a hurry to leave, brother."

"With the Devourer of Self still alive, even if the patriarch of the Ye family came, how could he possibly find us in such a vast place as Jingzhou?"

Li Feiyu was full of confidence, and patted Han Li on the shoulder, which finally made him grit his teeth.

A thunderous roar echoed above the Seven Mysteries Gate.

The Ye family patriarch was thin, yet incredibly cold.

His entire body crackled with lightning, and his sinister eyes were terrifying.

He steered a small boat with the arrogance of a god, reigning supreme before the members of the Seven Mysteries Sect.

With overwhelming pressure, he spoke coldly:

"In three days, we will find out the cause and effect of the deaths of my Ye family members in Jingzhou."

"Otherwise, under my heavenly lightning, you mortals will only be reduced to ashes!"

"I will obey the immortal's decree." The Seven Mysteries Sect Leader felt a chill run down his spine and kowtowed to accept the order.

Since the Ye family patriarch had already issued the decree, how could the Seven Mysteries Sect dare to delay?

The group of skilled individuals immediately set to work swiftly throughout Jingzhou, searching for intelligence.

However, they were unaware that their target was near the headquarters of the Seven Mysteries Sect.

"Brother Han, what are your thoughts on this patriarch of the Ye family?"

Li Feiyu raised her glass and smiled in acknowledgment, but Han Li had no interest in drinking it.

"Strong! Very strong!"

"The mere hint of pressure he exuded made me tremble all over."

"He truly lives up to his reputation as the patriarch of the Ye family; his cultivation at the early Foundation Establishment stage is terrifying!"

Han Li spoke with lingering fear.

Looking at his naive and inexperienced younger brother, Li Feiyu smiled:

"Brother Han, you're mistaken."

"The Ye family patriarch is not at the early stage of Foundation Establishment."

"If it's not the initial stage, could it still be stuck in the Qi Refining stage?"

Upon hearing this, Han Li breathed a sigh of relief and picked up his wine cup, ready to drink it all in one gulp.

If the Ye family patriarch is only at the Qi Refining stage, then he wouldn't be so scary.

Although he was far from being a match for Li Feiyu, Li Feiyu had already reached the pinnacle of Qi cultivation.

With such a reliable backer, what does Han Li have to worry about?

Li Feiyu smiled slightly: "Brother Han is joking. Generally, those who can become the patriarch of a family are Daoists in the Foundation Establishment stage."

"Based on my observations, elder brother," he said in a deep voice, his expression hardening.

"This patriarch of the Ye family is not at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, but at the middle stage."

With a bang, the wine glass fell to the ground, and Han Li opened his mouth wide in shock.

"What! The Ye family patriarch is actually in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage."

"Brother Li, let's hurry up and leave."

"If we continue to stay in Jingzhou, once he finds out, I'm afraid we won't even have a chance to survive."

Before he could finish speaking, he was already eager to leave.

But Li Feiyu said disdainfully, "Brother Han, you're just a Daoist in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage."

"What's there to be afraid of?"

"With your current state, what will you do if you encounter a Core Formation True Monarch or even a Nascent Soul Old Monster in the future?"

Han Li said with a long face, "Fine, I give up. This is a Daoist at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage."

"If you want to continue hanging out with him, I won't try to stop you."

"But I am truly lacking in knowledge and ability, and I cannot help you, so I will not keep you company."

"Hmph!" Li Feiyu sneered.

"Han Li, do you think you can get away with this by running away alone?"

"We did it together, and Ye Chengren's storage bag is still with you."

"If something were to happen to me, the eldest brother, in Jingzhou."

Do you think the Ye family will let you off the hook?

"My dear brother!" Han Li cried out, his face contorted with bitterness, "What exactly do you want?"

"It's very simple."

Li Feiyu looked arrogantly at the Seven Mysteries Sect headquarters: "You and I, brothers, joined forces and took down that Ye family patriarch."

Han Paopao was practically kneeling down to him.

He pointed to himself, then to Li Feiyu: "Just the two of us?"

"Um!"

"Did they take care of the Ye family patriarch?"

"Not bad." Li Feiyu nodded seriously.

At this moment, Han Li completely broke down.

"My dear Brother Li, my Uncle Li, my Ancestor Li!"

"You're amazing! I, Han Li, admire you."

"But wouldn't we be courting death if we actually did that?"

"Hahaha."

Li Feiyu laughed and said, "Brother Han, you don't know this."

"Originally, my elder brother had no way to deal with Foundation Establishment Daoists, but it just so happens to be the Ghost Festival recently."

"Did these fireworks blooming in the sky inspire me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand and something appeared on the table.

"Brother Han, would you like to take a look?"

"Gunpowder?" Han Li was taken aback. "Brother Li, isn't this for fireworks?"

"Are you really going to use this to deal with that Ye family patriarch?"

"Brother Han, don't underestimate this thing."

Li Feiyu said confidently, "You are proficient in pharmacology and have considerable skill in alchemy."

"If I follow your advice, brother, I might actually be able to create real gunpowder to help me eliminate the Ye family patriarch!"
