Chapter 271: The Visiting Card

The time the three Qi Refining experts spent fighting Li Yi was very short, only a moment, but this moment decided many things.

After quickly moving away from the Li residence.

Fan Gao suddenly stopped, then clutched his chest, and spat out a mouthful of blood. His aura instantly withered.

"Brother Fan, how are you?" Qi He and Zhao Mingyue on the side were shocked.

"I'm fine. I took a punch, and the Qi and blood in my body couldn't be controlled. My body suffered heavy injuries. Spitting out this blood will be fine," Fan Gao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "The courage of Yi is unparalleled in history, and it really lives up to its reputation. His muscles and bones, his fist force are too terrifying. In an instant, he tore through my Zhou Tian Qi. Fighting such a person is a nightmare for a martial artist. No wonder the family head told me to be careful before I came."

"Just now, this Li Yi's fists were glowing, and my Zhao family's Hundred-Refined Qi was shattered in an instant. Moreover, this person's reaction was extremely fast, and his punching speed was astonishing. Under the circumstance that I struck first, every one of his punches could accurately meet my sword Qi. If it weren't for the three of us working together, I wouldn't just be suppressed by one punch; I would probably have been beaten to death on the spot."

Zhao Mingyue said, recalling the scene just now, he still felt lingering fear.

Qi He said, "I have already seen it. This Li Yi has mostly condensed his soul and possesses Spirit Perception. Under the soul's sensing, he can easily capture our attacks. Any sneak attack is useless against him. Coupled with that monster-like physique and Qi and blood, it is impossible to win against him."

"Does he already possess Spirit Perception? No wonder I was discovered before I even appeared. It seems that his breakthrough to the Soul Transformation Realm is only a matter of time," Fan Gao said: "Within half a year, no one in the Four Seas and Bazhou will be his opponent. By then, the only one who can rival him might be the descent of the ghosts and gods."

"But even the thousand-year-old ghosts and gods cannot suppress this Li Yi for too long. I estimate that at most four years, at least two years, the family head's plan will succeed. If you still have any hesitation, just wait for your death and the destruction of your clan. I have said all I can. I'll go first, goodbye."

After speaking, Fan Gao's Qi permeated his body, and he flew out instantly, disappearing into the vast night.

Zhao Mingyue and Qi He's expressions changed slightly. After this battle, how could they not understand that what Fan Gao said was true? The ghosts and gods hanging over the heads of the Eight Great Families were about to become history. Just as Fan Wen said, the current Four Seas and Bazhou were experiencing a great change unseen in a thousand years.

The Eight Great Families could not stay out of it, nor could they be safe and sound.

Whoever fails to grasp this opportunity will truly face death and the destruction of their clan when they are liquidated in the future.

"Qi He, what do you think?" Zhao Mingyue asked suddenly.

Qi He laughed at this moment: "Need you ask? Naturally, it's to gamble with the Fan family. In addition, our four great families should unite against the common enemy, join hands to block the news, and exclude the other four families. The Four Seas and Bazhou are too small to accommodate eight kings. In my opinion, four kings are enough."

"Haha." Zhao Mingyue couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Good, that's what we should do. Now it depends on the attitude of the Meng family."

After a brief exchange, the two also left quickly.

No one would have thought that this seemingly simple night would actually affect the future pattern of the Four Seas and Bazhou.

However, Li Yi did not know this at the moment. He only felt that tonight's fight was a probe by the great families. If he hadn't passed this probe, then both he and the Zhao Zhao Wuguan would probably have been uprooted overnight.

But if he had accepted this probe, Li Yi believed that no matter what conditions he proposed tomorrow, the great families would agree.

This family ultimately speaks with fists. Without equal strength, there is no right to speak at all.

Li Yi had just returned to the residence when he saw Rong Niang and Zhao Qian waiting anxiously in the courtyard. Seeing Li Yi appear safely, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Senior Brother, it's great that you're fine. Who were those people just now? They looked like they didn't have good intentions," Rong Niang hurriedly greeted him.

"Qi Refining experts sent by the great families to test my strength," Li Yi said calmly: "But it's fine now. I have already sent them away. I believe they won't come to trouble us again in the future."

"Three Qi Refining experts?" Zhao Qian felt her body sway, almost unable to stand.

For a local like her, Qi Refining experts were existences to be looked up to. Moreover, someone with her martial arts realm would never see a Qi Refining expert in her lifetime. She didn't expect that three would appear at once tonight.

Could it be that the short commotion outside just now was Brother Yi fighting those three Qi Refining experts one-on-three?

Li Yi said: "I repelled them tonight. Tomorrow I will go to the City Lord's Mansion for the banquet and should get some benefits. You help me calculate what benefits I should ask for as compensation tomorrow?"

"Brother Yi, your heart is really big. You just had a life-and-death struggle, but you are still thinking about asking for benefits tomorrow," Zhao Qian's eyes revealed worry: "Dealing with great families is a very dangerous thing. If you are not careful, you will burn yourself. In my opinion, it's better not to go to tomorrow's banquet. It's better to find an opportunity to leave, so as not to cause more trouble."

Li Yi laughed out loud. He patted Zhao Qian on the shoulder and said: "Don't say such spineless words. Three Qi Refining experts couldn't take me down. Now it's those great families who should be afraid. You take the families too seriously. When I break through another realm one day, the Eight Great Kings, the thousand-year-old families, all have to look at my face."

Rong Niang sighed and said: "Junior Sister, things have come to this, how can it be so easy to withdraw? Senior Brother can leave, but can Master and so many people in the Zhao Zhao Wuguan leave? Why did the great families enter Sanyang City, this small place? Isn't it for Senior Brother? Now we can't retreat. Once we retreat, we reveal our bottom line, and that's when it's truly dangerous."

"Alright, Junior Sister, let's not talk about this. We should listen to Senior Brother. Let's calculate tonight and see what is better to ask from the great families."

"Rong Niang is right. When you come, you should be at peace," Li Yi said.

However, although he said it simply, he also felt vigilant in his heart, because he smelled the wind and rain coming. But Li Yi didn't think this was a big crisis or a big difficulty. Compared with being trapped in the Ghost Post Office some time ago, these things in the Four Seas and Bazhou were not worth mentioning at all.

"I think the most precious thing about the great families is the martial arts heritage. From the methods of skin refining, bone refining, and marrow refining, to the secret methods of meridian refining and Qi refining, they should all be asked for. If there is a method for soul refining, that would be the best. Moreover, the martial arts heritage of each family is different. After Senior Brother gets them, he can take the strengths of each family to improve himself."

"In our opinion, martial arts heritage is very precious, but in the eyes of the families, it may just be ordinary things. Brother Yi, don't forget the ghost and god life-collecting incident last time. I think the great families must have treasures that can prolong life. Take this opportunity to ask for more. By the way, treasures must not be less."

"..."

In the room, the lights were bright, and the sound of several people discussing came. Rong Niang and Zhao Qian racked their brains to devise strategies for Li Yi.

However, being reminded of this, Li Yi remembered the matter of prolonging life.

After he used the old and cracked short stick, his life span was only eighty years left. Although he was not very anxious now, considering that there might be opportunities to use that supernatural item in the future, he must make up for his life span, otherwise, if he used the supernatural item again next time, he wouldn't have much life span to squander.

"Life span is indeed very important," Li Yi secretly noted.

The great families, cooperating with the ghosts and gods to collect life, he didn't believe that these families wouldn't withhold a part of it. Asking for some was not an excessive request. Although these life spans were taken from the people of the Four Seas and Bazhou, when he achieves success in his cultivation in the future, he will definitely have to solve the problem of ghosts and gods collecting life.

"Senior Brother, why not take the opportunity to marry a few family women? After marriage, it will be more reassuring..." Suddenly, when the discussion reached the end, Rong Niang made such a suggestion.

Li Yi immediately said: "What kind of good suggestion is this? Don't come up with these bad ideas. Continue to think about something else. Marriage? What era is this? Still playing this set. Besides, I practice the White Bone View."

Rong Niang was scolded, but she didn't feel sad. Instead, she smiled, and she was a little happy in her heart, because at least she knew Senior Brother's attitude, which was very disgusted with marriage. She was scolded for bringing it up. If those great families brought it up, they would definitely be rejected on the spot.

After all, if the family really married Senior Brother, how would she get along then?

Several people discussed, and soon a night passed.

By the next morning, more than a dozen luxury carriages formed a motorcade, starting from the City Lord's Mansion and driving to the gate of the Li residence before stopping.

The team was led by Fan Zhizhou and a young woman named Fan Zhimeng.

They were ordered by the family head to invite Li Yi to the City Lord's Mansion for a banquet.

Fan Zhizhou was wearing brocade clothes, rich and noble, with an indelible excited smile on his face, because he knew in his heart that this time Li Yi returned to Sanyang City, his opportunity to cross dimensions was coming soon.

This Four Seas and Bazhou, filled with ignorance and backwardness, made him feel suffocated every moment.

He couldn't wait to feel the sweetness of that exotic land.

That world where heroes were everywhere and strong people were like crucian carp crossing the river must be wonderful.

"Cousin, stop laughing. You've been laughing for two days. Those who don't know will think you've become stupid," Fan Zhimeng on the side said coldly: "Hurry up and hand over the visiting card. If you miss the time, be careful of the family head's punishment."

"You reminded me correctly. We must not miss the time of the banquet." Fan Zhizhou sobered up. He tidied up his appearance, then came to the Li residence, handed the visiting card to a martial arts school disciple guarding the gate, and explained his intention. ===== CHAPTER 272 =====
