The night was as dark as ink, and Medicine King Valley was even more silent than usual under the few lonely stars. All the disciples and stewards had closed their caves, and the faint sense of impending doom in the air made everyone feel uneasy.

The Valley of Medicine Kings, which had been peaceful for so long, was as still as a volcano before an eruption tonight. Occasionally, people with extremely powerful auras would fly into the distance from the night sky. Some sharp-eyed people recognized them as members of the Punishment Hall. The Punishment Hall rarely mobilized, but once provoked, it was sure to cause a bloodbath.

"Young Valley Master, do you really have to go?"

"Yes, since they're after me, wouldn't it be disappointing if I hid? Besides, if this matter isn't handled properly, the Pill King Palace will definitely not let it go." Jing Li's most outstanding and proud disciple, who was entrusted with the mission, almost met with death. If there wasn't a conspiracy involved, no one would believe it.

"How could I be absent from such a matter?" Zishu's lazy voice came from the council hall. Dressed in white as snow, his eyes were deep and cold, like a sharp sword, inspiring respect.

"Alright, Elder Gu has already led his men there. The Li family must be trapped now. Go and handle it! Be careful."

In the backyard of the Li family residence, Li Hong held a beautiful woman in his arms, teasing her. His amorous eyes shimmered, causing the woman in his arms to blush.

"Patriarch, Fei'er has been gone for so long, I hope nothing has happened to her!" As one of the four affiliated families of Medicine King Valley, the Li family is naturally quite powerful. Li Hong himself is a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, and there are also powerful cultivators in the Integration stage within the family. Li Hong has no interest in cultivation and spends his days indulging in pleasure. He has three sons and one daughter, with Li Fei'er being the youngest and most talented, naturally making her Li Hong's favorite.

When Li Feier returned this time, she tearfully recounted how she had been humiliated by three people, who had also taken her servant with them. She couldn't swallow this insult.

He then sent two Nascent Soul elders to assist Li Feier. He knew that Li Feier had also persuaded an elder who usually doted on her to help him vent his anger, as well as several Golden Core experts. He believed that there would be absolutely no surprises.

As for the person who caused trouble, Li Hongcai didn't care. If they offended his precious daughter and refused to admit their mistake, then they should just die!

"You flatter me, my beauty. How could I?" The Li family still holds some influence within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers. Even the other three of the four great families would not easily provoke them.

However, Li Hong never expected that the person Li Feier offended this time was someone who could wipe out the Li family hundreds of times over.

"What the patriarch says is true. Here, have a grape. I just peeled it."

"Good, good, good." Soft and fragrant, how delightful!

Suddenly, a dazzling light rose outside. Li Hong's eyes widened instantly. He threw down the beauty in his arms and rushed outside. That was their family's protective formation, which would not be activated unless it was a matter of life and death.

"Master, something terrible has happened! Miss has been captured by them, and they've threatened to wipe out our entire Li family."

Li Hong ran into the messenger as soon as he went out.

"Outrageous! Who is so arrogant? I want to see how they plan to wipe out the entire Li family! Men! Gather the whole clan and fight to the death!"

The urgent tolling of the bell resounded throughout the Li family in an instant, and countless martial artists hurriedly walked towards the main hall.

This bell only rings in extremely critical situations, casting a heavy shadow over the hearts of everyone in the Li family.

Li Hong headed straight for the door, wanting to personally ascertain just how critical the situation was.

From afar, when he saw the familiar blue robe and the familiar insignia on it, Li Hong's vision went black, and he almost collapsed.

People from Medicine King Valley have arrived. Why in this manner? He recognized the leader; it was Elder Gu, a powerful cultivator in the Integration Stage who had been in seclusion for thirty years. He wondered why Elder Gu was at the Li family's residence tonight, carrying Fei'er in his arms, her fate unknown.

Through the transparent protective array, Li Hong's voice was tinged with bitterness: "Greetings, Elder Gu. May I ask what brings such a large mobilization?"

"Is this your daughter?" Elder Gu's aged face was filled with murderous intent, and Li Hongsihao had no doubt that he would end Fei'er's life in the next second.

"It is my daughter who deserves our mercy."

"Li Feier is ruthless and tried to murder Young Master Yingxun. Your Highness Zishu and Your Highness Ye Xiruo, do you think I should come?" Elder Gu revealed a sinister smile.

"If it weren't for the young master's mercy, I would have skinned her alive, ripped out her soul, and condemned her to eternal damnation."

Li Hong's face was pale and bluish-white. He lost his footing and almost fell straight down from mid-air.

He was confident he could handle anything else, no matter the cost, but Elder Gu's words plunged his heart into an abyss.

"How could this be? Although it's very difficult to admit, Li Hong knows in his heart that this is probably true. Fei'er has been spoiled by him and has actually offended the person that should never be offended on the continent. She has actually committed such a serious crime. Even if she were the Ninth Princess, let alone her daughter, even the Taiyan Divine Emperor would not be able to save her life."

Dragons possess a rebellious spirit; touching them will result in death.

Ye Xiruo and Zishu are undoubtedly the Achilles' heel of the Pill King Palace, while Yingxun is the Achilles' heel of the Medicine King Valley. Offending both the Medicine King Valley and the Pill King Palace at the same time means certain death for anyone, no matter where they go.

Li Hong seemed to have already foreseen Li Feier's tragic end, and even feared that if things weren't handled properly, his Li family would become history.

"You can choose to resist. I'm just the first wave. There are still people from the Punishment Hall behind us, and they probably won't be so easy to talk to." Elder Gu sneered, slamming his palm into the clan's protective formation. The formation trembled violently before returning to its original state, though it seemed to be a layer thinner than before.

Li Hong gave a wry smile and activated the clan's protective array. His immediate priority was to clear up the misunderstanding and save the Li family. As for Li Fei'er, having caused such a great disaster for the family, she would be expelled from the Li family ancestral hall after her death.

"Elder Gu, I am truly unaware of this matter. Please have some tea."

Gu Hua led the people from Medicine King Valley directly into the Li family's residence.

"Surround the Li family compound. No one is allowed to make a move. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy." The aged voice echoed throughout every corner of the Li family compound.

The entire Li family looked at the Medicine King Valley members before them, their faces radiating murderous intent, and their expressions were filled with sorrow. Most of them didn't know what had happened, but they were all uneasy.

Master, you must save us.

The group entered the council hall, and Gu Hua threw Li Feier to the ground: "Wake her up. I have some questions to ask you four, and I need to make sure you understand."

Li Hua stepped forward to check on Li Feier's body. She was poisoned, and her internal energy was sealed, leaving her with only a sliver of hope.
