The next piece of news made the members of the nine great families even more determined.
Bu Liqing and Fengyue brought their disciples and moved into Orchid Fragrance Garden!
This news was simply explosive!
Dong Wushang and Rui Butong also moved into Orchid Fragrance Garden, but it was clear that the crowd was not very concerned about these three. Their focus was solely on Bu Liqing and Fengyue.
The major families quickly sprang into action.
They felt the crisis slowly creeping closer, increasingly imminent, as if it were a fire burning at their eyebrows.
“As for the Li family, are we really going to let them go just like that?” Stone Shock asked again.
The second ancestors all frowned and remained silent.
“We are not at home, and with Li Xiangsi from the Li family there, they cannot be stopped.” Xiao Se said lightly.
Ling Fengyun’s eyes flashed with cold light and said, “How about sending word to ambush them along the way? One kill counts as one. After all, Li Xiangsi wouldn’t dare retaliate under these circumstances.”
Stone Shock agreed first. The Li family certainly wouldn’t dare to retaliate, as the route was under the control of the various major families. Each family had their first ancestral patriarch stationed at home. If things got stirred up and they angered them, Li Xiangsi would be dead for sure!
The Night Emperor pondered for a moment and said, “Very well! Immediately send word to the various families, organize elite personnel, and ambush the Li family along the way! We do not seek total annihilation, but… I want Li Xiangsi to be all alone, like a dog, returning to the Li family!”
“Alright!”
That evening, the Li family departed from Heaven’s Secret City.
As they left the city gate, Li Xiangsi turned around and looked at the city gate of Heaven’s Secret City, deep in thought.
“With this departure, the nine great families who were originally comrades will become sworn enemies from now on!” Li Xiangsi stood still for a long time, his clothes fluttering in the night wind, feeling an indescribable loneliness.
“My cultivation level has already reached its peak. I won’t live to see ten thousand years. But the descendants of the Li family need this ten thousand years!”
“So, my old brothers, I’m sorry.”
Li Xiangsi bowed deeply towards the city gate.
“Ancestral Patriarch, should we inform Chu Yang and the others about this?” the seventh rank supreme beside him asked.
“Forget it.” Li Xiangsi pondered for a moment and said, “After all, Chu Yang is not the Nine Calamity Sword Master, especially at this time. If they are cautious, we won’t be able to fight. Once fighting begins, regardless of whether the plan succeeds or fails, both sides will suffer losses, which would greatly benefit the Nine Calamity Sword Master and Nine Calamity. If Chu Yang’s strength grows, he will definitely become a formidable enemy to the Nine Calamity Sword Master and Nine Calamity. It’s better to eliminate him as soon as possible.”
Li Xiangsi waved his hand and led his people away like the wind.
“Move quickly. The sooner we enter the territory of our Li family, the better!” Li Xiangsi looked grimly at the vast night, saying, “This journey will not be peaceful! Although the Law Sovereign spoke and let us return, I’ve dealt with these people for thousands of years, how could I not know them? They will not let us leave easily!”
“This journey through the mountains and rivers will surely be filled with blood and carnage!”
A group of people, like arrows, quickly vanished into the vast night...
Chu Yang did not pause for a moment and began alchemy that very night.
He was refining the incomplete version of the Ninefold Pill to restore Chu Le'er’s body.
The Sword Spirit, in the midst of a crucial moment of meditation, was also pulled in to help.
The materials had all gathered together, now they were here!
Nine Absolute Vine, Nine-Colored Lotus, Nine Dead No Life Water, Nine Leaf One Branch Flower, Nine-Petal Jade Spirit Mushroom, Nine Lives Pangolin, Nine Earthly Yin Soul Ginseng, Nine Heavens Jade Spirit Liquid... and the materials for the Ninefold Pill were all complete!
