“I remember when Hai Xin and Tai Shang appeared in the night sky at the same time, you said you didn’t guess our identities, which probably won’t convince the public.”

"Who has ever seen Hai Xin and Tai Shang on the Pill Cauldron Ranking? How could they believe that two peerless pill cauldrons would appear at the same time and place? They would naturally assume that they were just imitations. They never expected that they were actually the real Hai Xin and Tai Shang."

"I still remember someone threatening to kill the three of us and seize our alchemy cauldrons." Zishu's eyes were icy cold; his patience had almost run out.

“If you don’t tell the truth, I don’t mind having the blood of your Li family on my hands.”

“You devil! I told you no one ordered me to do this. It was all my willful and reckless behavior. My father knew nothing, and the family is innocent.”

“Innocent. If all three of us were killed, who would we appeal to? Your father’s greatest misfortune was having a daughter like you.”

"Young Valley Master, what do you think we should do?"

"We request that Patriarch Li find you, Li Wen, as we need more evidence."

Li Wen was seriously injured by Zishu, but his life was not in danger.

"yes."

Half an hour later, Li Wen's nascent soul was brought over. When the tiny nascent soul saw Zi Shu in the hall, it couldn't help but reveal deep-seated hatred in its small eyes. It was all because of this damned brat who shattered his body with a single sword strike, leaving him with no choice but to escape with only a nascent soul.

"It's you, old man. I spared your life, shouldn't you be thanking me?"

"Hmph." It's just that his luck was really bad, that he actually encountered a monster who could challenge opponents of a higher level.

"Tell me, why did you kill me? What is your relationship with the two Nascent Soul cultivators who appeared at the end? Can you find them?"

"I am Yingxun. I hope everything you say is true and that you will not implicate the entire Li family."

"Elder Wen, please speak!" Li Hong's expression changed drastically in a short while.

"Of course I'm here to avenge Miss. Those two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators looked unfamiliar, like they weren't from within a few hundred miles, and we didn't recognize them. However, their power was extremely profound, and their aura was as deep as the ocean. We wanted to refuse, but those two Nascent Soul Venerables insisted on joining forces with us, and we had no choice. We originally thought we could end the battle easily, but we didn't expect to be caught off guard and had no choice but to join forces with them."

"That's what Li Feier said, but it's not necessarily the truth."

"You really don't recognize them, or me?" Yingxun pointed to his face, then flipped his palm over, revealing a palm-sized sea heart that spun beautifully in his hand.

"Do you still remember Hai Xin?" Ying Xun's face was cold.

“I recognized you and guessed your identity. It was all because I was too greedy and wanted to possess Hai Xin. It was my own idea. Miss doesn’t know anyone named Hai Xin. I was just blinded by greed.”

"You two truly have a deep bond between master and servant, don't you? Patriarch Li, do you have anything else to say?"

"I beg the young master to be lenient with this punishment."

"Li Feier, Li Wen, Li Wu, and Li Yu are dead. The head of the Li family has failed in his duties and should step down to a more capable leader. You have two choices: 1. The Li family will be disbanded from now on; 2. The Li family will live in seclusion for two hundred years and will not communicate with the outside world."

"Master, the Li family cannot be destroyed." People inside and outside the house knelt on the ground, their expressions filled with grief.

"This is already an immense favor. There are two words for this: guilt by association and misplaced anger." Zishu waved his fan. "You should be grateful that Medicine King Valley is merciful. If it were Pill King Palace, this place would be a river of blood tonight." Zishu's voice was very calm, but the bloody atmosphere beneath the calm was impossible to conceal.

“Thank you for your kindness, Young Master. I choose the second option. I will resign from my position as patriarch, gather the disciples who are away from the clan, and close the clan for two hundred years.” Li Hong’s face was deathly pale. He took one last look at his daughter, who was lying on the ground in a miserable state, and then turned and left.

Zishu threw Li Feier and Li Wen directly into the Supreme Realm and sealed them away.

The experts and disciples of Medicine King Valley arrived in haste and left in haste. In ten minutes, Gu Hua led the Medicine King Valley members away from the Li family in a grand procession. Ying Xun stood on Zi Shu's sword. The night was gradually fading, and the sky was tinged with a hazy white.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

On this land, the long-silent Medicine King Valley once again displayed its formidable power. The vast and mighty aura in mid-air made everyone's heart heavy.

Has the world really changed? I wonder if it's related to the great battle in the night sky earlier this night.

Medicine King Valley remains still until it stirs up a storm.

The next day, news shocked the entire continent. The youngest daughter of the Li family had plotted to murder Zishu, Yingxun, and Yexi Ruo, prompting the deployment of five Nascent Soul Venerables. Medicine King Valley was furious and immediately dispatched its Punishment Hall members, traveling thousands of miles to the Li family. The Li family patriarch abdicated, and all members of the Li family involved in the assassination attempt were executed. Furthermore, the Li family went into seclusion for two hundred years.

Many have forgotten the long history, profound foundation, and formidable power of Medicine King Valley. Many directors, shocked by the rise of the Pill King Palace, also feel sorry for Medicine King Valley. After this battle, who can remain unconvinced? The Li family, a prefecture-level clan, changed hands entirely because of Medicine King Valley, and was even forbidden from appearing on the continent.

Zishu and Yexi were unaware of all of this.

Last night, Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu were so engrossed in their conversation that she fell asleep without realizing it, and Xiu Qiyu eventually carried her to bed. Xiu Qiyu then stood guard outside Ye Xiruo's door all night.

So when Zishu and Yingxun returned, they saw Xiu Qiyu, dressed in white and with a tall and straight figure like a pine tree, standing at Ye Xiruo's door, seemingly cultivating.

"Junior Sister Ye is so lucky."

"Hmph, it's Xiu Qiyu who's truly blessed."

Xiu Qiyu slowly opened her eyes: "You're back. How are you?"

"Let us mourn for the Li family head. He has brought such a burden to the entire family by having such a daughter."

"There might be demons inside. It's just a pity that those two didn't stay."

"It's alright. Since we can make them fail once, we can make them fail twice and three times. The grudge from last night is not over."

"I will take good care of the little leaf."

"Actually, you don't need to worry too much. Xiao Yezi must have Master's bodyguards by her side. If it's a life-or-death situation, they will take action. Ordinary tribulations will be treated as training by them."

"I understand the Lord's good intentions."

“I brought Li Feier and Li Wu back. One has had his cultivation crippled, and the other is only at the Nascent Soul stage. Take them and interrogate them properly with your junior sister.”

"Thank you, Senior Brother. Thank you, Senior Brother Ying."
