Chapter 69: Everyone Surrounds the Li Family

It really is Li Yilan!

Something's wrong, we three great sects together with the Tang and Du families are supposedly dividing the Li family's land—what is she doing back now?

The three sect masters of Hundred Flowers Valley, as well as the Tang and Du family patriarchs, look at me, I look at you, all bewildered.

And then suddenly.

Mom!

The five of them seemed to think of something terrible, and all jumped up in fright.

Li Yilan has returned with a quasi-emperor realm expert.

And then...

And then, we are dividing her family's land?

Aren't you tired of living?

For a moment, the five were like grasshoppers in a hot pan.

Voice transmission.

Send a voice transmission quickly!

Several people simultaneously sent voice transmissions to the elders heading to divide the Li family's territory.

——————————

And at this time.

Li family.

Li Cailing's brow bore a hint of solemnity as she gathered with the Li family's remaining dozens of women, children, and youths in a dilapidated courtyard.

This is the Li family, once extremely prosperous and flourishing, formerly known as the foremost of the three great families of Hundred Flowers Valley; now, destroyed by the Xiao family, only a few shattered courtyards remain, with broken walls and ruins everywhere.

A fifteen- or sixteen-year-old youth ran in to report.

Aunt Cailing, it's terrible—they're bullying us, completely ignoring the Hundred Flowers Valley's mutual respect and benefit agreement, and have outright seized our Li family's land.

The Myriad Phenomena Sect has occupied the western part of our Li family's land.

The Spiritual Rhythm Sect has occupied the southern part of our Li family's land.

The Marvelous Soil Sect has occupied the eastern part of our Li family's land.

The Tang family has occupied the northern part of our Li family's land.

And the Du family has seized the mineral vein area in the northern mountains belonging to the Li family.

They're really overbearing, giving us no way to survive at all.

The remaining Li family members surrounded Li Cailing, gritting their teeth, their hearts filled with endless anger.

Li Cailing also breathed heavily; such a blow was naturally hard for her to bear, but now, having fallen from power, she is bullied by the weak—the Xiao family destroyed, experts killed, not a single fighter left.

Those people naturally eyed the Li family's land hungrily, eager to devour it.

The remaining Li family members, eyes brimming with tears, said: 'Man does, heaven watches; those people will meet their retribution.'

Yes, we are all descendants of the Hundred Flowers Immortal Maiden; why do they want to exterminate us completely?

And at this time.

Aunt Cailing, it's bad—the elders of the three great sects and two great families are all coming our way. Another youth ran in panic to report.

Upon hearing this.

The remaining Li family disciples sighed.

Beasts! These beasts aren't satisfied with stealing our Li family's land; they also want to exterminate us.

Don't they fear reproach from their ancestors?

Rebukes rang out incessantly.

Li Cailing's brows knit together.

It's like a leaking roof meeting continuous rain; since the Xiao family destroyed the Li family, their days have been hard, and now these backstabbing beasts, having taken the land, still want to kill.

We share the same roots—why rush to destroy each other?

Li Cailing said: 'Li family's youths, although the Li clan has been destroyed, you still exist; hope remains.'

Now the Li family has reached the point of life or death; those beasts press their advantage, not letting us survive—so we will fight them to the end.

Children thirteen and older, step forward and follow me to resist them and protect the family.

Li Cailing's words were so resounding and powerful; indeed, she embraced the awakening of certain death.

Yet how helpless and powerless—once the mighty Li family, now it can only rely on those thirteen and older to protect it.

Yes, Aunt Cailing.

When the family is in peril, it is my duty; no one may offend the Li family.

I am willing to give my life to defend the Li family's dignity.

For a moment, all the women, children, and youths behind Li Cailing stepped forward.

Some of them had not even begun cultivation.

Yet they displayed extraordinary determination.

Li Cailing smiled proudly: 'Our Li family's youths are not bad.'

Come, everyone follow me to face them.

Immediately.

A group of people walked out.

And at this time.

Hum!

Several powerful auras descended before Li Cailing.

The person who came was precisely the Elder of the Myriad Phenomena Sect.

"Come on, fight, I, of the Li family, would rather die than ever compromise with you." Li Cai Ling said coldly.

The Li family members behind him also spoke firmly: "We, disciples of the Li family, would rather die than ever compromise."

"Hehe, Miss Cai Ling, we came to apologize."

The Elder of the Myriad Phenomena Sect smiled with an innocent expression.

"Apologize?"

Such a scene left Miss Cai Ling and the many Li family disciples somewhat caught off guard.

"Didn't your Myriad Phenomena Sect partition the western lands of my Li family? Where does this apology come from?"

"Uh... hahaha." The Elder of the Myriad Phenomena Sect gave an embarrassed laugh: "Miss Cai Ling, you misunderstood; our Myriad Phenomena Sect had no intention of partitioning your family's western lands. We are merely measuring for your Li family how many mu of western land there are."

"Hehe, your Li family's western lands total over 200,000 mu; this is the survey document—please keep it safe."

Immediately, the Elder of the Myriad Phenomena Sect shoved the document into Miss Cai Ling's hands, glanced anxiously at the sky, and chuckled.

"If there's nothing else, we'll be on our way; welcome the Li family to visit our Myriad Phenomena Sect anytime."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Elder of the Myriad Phenomena Sect quickened his pace and left the Li family; if not for the high-altitude flight ban, they would truly have wanted to fly far away from the Li family.

Such a scene naturally left Miss Cai Ling and the Li family disciples bewildered; this document was clearly a map partitioning the Li family's lands, yet the Myriad Phenomena Sect claimed it was a survey map and returned it to them.

"Miss Cai Ling, what's wrong with the Elder of the Myriad Phenomena Sect?"

Li Cai Ling shook her head; she also didn't know why.

"Uh-oh, the Elder of the Spirit Rhythm Sect has arrived." a disciple shouted.

Hearing that, Li Cai Ling dared not think further and again looked solemnly at the Elder of the Spirit Rhythm Sect.

The Elder of the Spirit Rhythm Sect, upon seeing Li Cai Ling, immediately laughed and said:

"Miss Cai Ling, I'm truly sorry; we drew a map of the Li family's southern lands without your permission, which is quite regrettable."

"At the same time, to show our apology, the Spirit Rhythm Sect intends to return this drawing to the Li family and also compensate them with ten thousand spirit stones."

"Please accept this." The Elder of the Spirit Rhythm Sect handed over the drawing and the spirit stones to Li Cai Ling.

At the same time, they glanced anxiously at the sky and said, "We won't disturb you further; feel free to visit the Spirit Rhythm Sect when you have time."

Then the people of the Spirit Rhythm Sect also hurried away.

"This..."

Li Cai Ling and the Li family members all frowned, unable to fathom why the Myriad Phenomena Sect and the Spirit Rhythm Sect were acting this way.

Before they could think further, another disciple shouted.

"Miss Cai Ling, the people of the Resting Soil Sect, the Tang family, and the Du family are running toward us."

Upon hearing that,

Everyone looked over; indeed, the personnel of those three sides were jogging all the way, like a hundred-meter dash, racing ahead.

"Be careful, everyone, definitely don't let your guard down." Li Cai Ling cautioned everyone.

Yet the three forces actually lined up neatly before Miss Cai Ling.

"Miss Cai Ling, the Resting Soil Sect has come to apologize..."

"Miss Cai Ling, the Tang family has come to apologize..."

"Miss Cai Ling, the Du family has come to apologize and is willing to compensate."

For a moment, the three forces resembled children who had made a mistake, their tones all sincere.

Yet this scene left Miss Cai Ling and the others completely dumbfounded.
