Excessive ferocity due to caution

"It wouldn't have been like this."

"I said calmly."

"But after the three rulers of the Li family died, the power of the suppression formation was lost here, so it began to frantically devour the source power of the Li family's small world, to the point that it was almost impossible to stop."

Lü Mingbing's legs went weak:

"You can't turn this off either?"

Xiao shook his head.

"The formation was activated using the divine artifact. Now that the artifact is lost, it's a pipe dream for me to shut it down on my own."

Hearing the terrifying heartbeat echoing from the void, Lü Mingbing gritted his teeth and said:

"If we continue to let this formation run rampant, what will eventually happen?"

Xiao said calmly:

"It will cause a lot of noise."

"The people at Tianhai Pass will find that they may very well send back a powerful deity to carry out a complete purge of the capital."

After speaking, he turned his head and looked at Lü Mingbing:

"The four major families will be the first to be affected."

"Don't you dare think that the four major families are really that important to those old folks..."

"They want to completely purge you and then help their descendants establish a new ruling power... It's as easy as turning their hands."

"Let's take a look at Zhao Yi..."

"I admit he was quite remarkable in the past, but that was then. He had nothing, yet he went from a remote, impoverished place to the capital and easily defeated the twelve rulers..."

"Only idiots like you would actually accept something so outrageous."

"Those old fogies at Tianhai Pass have long since lost trust in you. They wanted to replace you, and that's how... Zhao Yi appeared."

As he listened to Xiao's account, Lü Mingbing trembled violently.

He never imagined that he would be betrayed and abandoned by his ancestors.

Their blood flows in his veins!

How could they do such a thing?

After fear comes boundless anger!

Damn old bastards, if you won't let me live, then don't blame me for being ruthless!

"Li Mao committed a serious crime, and the Li family found a reason to settle accounts with him. He fled to escape punishment, and now many people are looking for him."

Lü Mingbing slowly approached the edge of the formation.

"You're not going to kill him?"

Whether he lives or dies is no longer of any consequence.

The special little ball reappeared in Xiao's hand.

After absorbing the massive power of the small world created by the Li family, it underwent a change.

"What is this?"

"Portal".

"What are you going to send me?"

"No need to ask any more questions."

Lü Mingbing's expression changed repeatedly.

He sensed absolute contempt from Xiao.

He knew he was no longer in a position to negotiate with Xiao.

What he has to do now is obey.

Only in this way could he possibly survive.

"I need the Lu family's authorization."

"Use the legacy left by the Lu family's predecessors to resist the continued excessive spread of the formation's power."

Xiao's gaze was cold.

"It's a bit too early to expose the teleportation array now."

"We'll make a decision after the man in the red gloves and black boots arrives."

His words revealed a deep fear of the people of Tianhai Pass.

Clearly, the church has suffered greatly at their hands.

Lu Mingbing looked terrible; he had never been in such an embarrassing situation before.

He was the one who threatened others; no one ever threatened him.

"I see."

He can see the situation clearly.

Even if compromise is so unpleasant.

He still holds the authority of the head of the Lü family.

This is why Xiao hasn't killed him yet.

Lü Mingbing dared not act recklessly.

After the initial fear subsided, his thoughts gradually became clearer.

Xiao protected him mainly because he didn't want to expend the effort to establish a new head of the family.

This will be troublesome.

Compared to the new head of the Lü family, Lü Mingbing was obviously much easier to control.

The two stood within the formation for a while, and then Xiao suddenly looked in a certain direction.

"interesting……"

"A guest has arrived."

Lü Mingbing followed his gaze but couldn't see anything.

"Who?"

"An outsider."

Do you know him?

"I don't know them, but there's definitely something wrong with them."

With a swift grab, the fingers piercing through the bizarre torture instruments emanated terrifying divine power, almost tearing through the void!

hum!

The heavens and earth trembled here.

But Xiao didn't catch anything.

It frowned.

Did it all fall through?

That shouldn't be the case.

The opponent seemed timid and weak, so how could he possibly dodge my deliberate attack?

Xiao vaguely sensed something was wrong and wanted to make another move, but suddenly realized that the strange guy had disappeared.

A deep sense of unease washed over him.

"Lord Xiao, have you captured him?"

Jiao calmly looked at his palm and said:

"no."

"He's too cunning."

"This guy isn't acting right... You'd better move over as soon as possible."

...

The Fifth Federation.

Xu Shengzhi slumped into his seat, panting heavily.

That was truly a close call.

Even though I had hidden myself so well, I was still discovered.

The man in black robes really frightened Xu Shengzhi.

The methods are terrifying!

He almost killed his true self because of that faint connection in the dark!

Luckily, he cut it off quickly!

"No...we must inform the cult leader immediately!"

Xu Shengzhi immediately relayed the message to Zhao Yi.

After reading it, Zhao Yikao's eyes sharpened.

"The Li family's forbidden area?"

Why were you in that place?

Zhao Yi hesitated for a moment.

"That's strange..."

He pondered for a moment, then set off for the Li family.

Someone blocked his way at the entrance of the Li family's house.

"Who has trespassed into the Li family's residence?"

Do you have an appointment?

Zhao Yi glanced at them, a half-smile on his face, and said:

"My name is Zhao Yi, and I have no appointment."

Are you going to stop me?

The moment those guys heard the name Zhao Yi, their expressions changed immediately. The once imposing guards hurriedly retreated behind the family formation, looking at Zhao Yi with great fear.

"The Li family's family formation was originally a treasure left by our ancestors, but you have ruined it like this. Now, if a sovereign were to descend and slaughter you, this formation would not be able to stop it."

Now that Zhao Yi has reached the Dominator Realm, his evil eyes can see through everything and clearly see how incomplete the Li family's protective formation has become.

Moreover, the power of the corrosive array left its own mark on the damaged parts—the power of torture instruments.

Clearly, the Li family has been completely controlled by the Skull Church.

Zhao Yi doesn't need to go in to watch.

"Zhao Yi, stop being so arrogant!"

"I... my clan still has a reclusive ancestor who hasn't yet emerged. If we act rashly here, be careful..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao snapped his fingers.

A dazzling brilliance unfolds at your fingertips.

This is a finger technique I learned from Ren Wudi – Heavenly Tribulation.

With a single finger, everything before him turned to ashes.

He strode out, intending to break into the Li family's house.

An inexplicable force enveloped Zhao Yi, attempting to exclude him.

That's the Li family's protective formation.

The source of this power was extremely vast, but it was already exhausted. Countless laws transformed into runes, flowing across Zhao Yi's body. Purple lightning crisscrossed all around, and the void trembled.

*Smack*

The sound of bubbles burst rang out, and Zhao Yi entered through the door without any hindrance...
