Chapter 382: The Anger and Apprehension of Two Families
"What! Yi Zifeng has actually fallen!"
Almost at the instant Yi Zifeng fell, Yi Xiaoji stood up from the position of Family Head, his Face filled with shock and anger. He had not expected that even after sending out an expert of Yi Zifeng's level, he would still end up falling.
Furthermore, judging from the instant Yi Zifeng fell, it seemed he had been killed in a single strike.
Just who could possibly kill Yi Zifeng in a single strike? Aside from an expert in the God King Realm, Yi Xiaoji could not think of anyone else.
"Family Head, could it be that the Li Family has made a move against our Yi Family?"
"That's right, Family Head. Apart from the Li Family, who else would dare to make a move against members of our Yi Family right now?"
"In my opinion, I fear this was indeed the Li Family's doing. After all, Li Yuping's talent is about the same as our Yi Family's Young Lord. If not for the fact that God-Emperor Jing Rang does not accept female Disciples, I fear Li Yuping would have become God-Emperor Jing Rang's Disciple as well. The Li Family likely couldn't bear to part with Li Yuping's talent, and upon seeing Li Yuping, they couldn't help but make a move to protect her."
Hearing the words of the elders in the clan, Yi Xiaoji's expression became even uglier. He clearly had not expected the Li Family to have such audacity to dare to make a move against his Yi Family members.
He had been angry just a moment ago, but now, having calmed down and thought about it carefully, it was not impossible. His own son had only broken through to the Earth God realm one step earlier than Li Yuping, yet he was tens of thousands of years older than her. Perhaps the Li Family's previous act of expelling Li Yuping from the Li Family was merely a smokescreen thrown out to protect Li Yuping, but in reality, Li Yuping was still within the Li Family.
Thinking of this, the anger in Yi Xiaoji's heart grew even more intense, and the next second, he spoke angrily.
"Pass on my order: all experts of the Yi Family above the Heavenly God Realm are to assemble. Target: the Li Family!"
"Yes, Family Head!"
Upon hearing Yi Xiaoji's words, the high-level members of the Yi Family all became excited. If they were to go to war with the Li Family, their Yi Family would surely profit greatly from it.
Of course, this was under the premise of victory, but they did not believe the Yi Family would lose. After all, with the means left behind by Jing Rang Senior, a mere Li Family could be easily captured.
Meanwhile, inside the Li Family, just like Yi Xiaoji, Li Taiping perceived the news of Li Changqing's death at the first moment, and his expression turned ugly.
"Family Head, what should we do now?"
The Li Family Grand Elder came before Li Taiping and said with an ugly expression.
Li Changqing had actually fallen, so there were only two possibilities: either Li Yuping had made the move, or the Yi Family had made the move.
If it were the former, they would not need to be so afraid; after all, Li Yuping was a member of the Li Family, and no matter what, she would not exterminate their Li Family. But if it were the latter, it would likely mean that the Yi Family intended to go to war with their Li Family.
An expert in the Heavenly God Realm could be considered a top-tier expert whether in the Li Family or the Yi Family. If the Yi Family dared to take the life of the Li Family's top expert, then that was a signal of an all-out war.
"Huu, prepare yourselves. Have the Second Elder take the experts of the clan below the Heavenly God Realm and leave first. Wait until I send out the order before returning. This situation is not a good thing for the current Li Family."
"Yes, Family Head."
The Grand Elder nodded and gave the order.
The action was very swift. In almost half an hour, the Li Family's experts below the Heavenly God Realm were all gathered. After hearing from Li Taiping that they might have to leave their homeland from now on, everyone's expressions instantly became complex.
Just then, a voice came from among the clan members.
"Family Head, could it be that the Domain Lord will just watch as our Li Family is wiped out?"
One stone stirred up a thousand waves. The clan members spoke up one after another, their tones filled with trust in the Domain Lord.
"That's right, Family Head. We are residents of the Jingran Domain and pay Divine Source every year. The Domain Lord shouldn't just sit by and do nothing, right?"
"Could it be that the Yi Family dares not to give the Domain Lord Face?"
"Family Head, I think you are making a mountain out of a molehill."
Hearing this, Li Taiping did not answer, but spoke directly.
"Second, take them and leave. Wait for my message. Only return when I tell you to. If you cannot return, then find a domain where the Yi Family cannot find you and settle down. On the way, if anyone goes against the Second Elder's words, they will be expelled from the Li Family."
Hearing the irresistible tone from Li Taiping's mouth, the clan members present could not help but fall silent.
The Second Elder stepped forward, bowed to Li Taiping, and promised with a serious expression.
"Family Head, rest assured. Unless I, Li Tian Yu, fall, the clan members will not come to harm."
"Hmm, I believe in you. Go."
Li Taiping sighed, his tone filled with desolation. Seeing this, Li Tian Yu knew he could not delay any longer. With a wave of his hand, he gathered the clan members below the Heavenly God Realm into his body, and then headed in the opposite direction of the Yi Family at the fastest speed.
After Li Tian Yu led the Li Family members away, the Grand Elder came before Li Taiping and spoke with some hesitation.
"Family Head, could it be that the Domain Lord will really just watch as our Li Family is wiped out?"
"Sigh, you don't understand. Although the Domain Lord is a God-Emperor, the gap compared to God-Emperor Jing Rang is huge. Do you think God-Emperor Jing Rang is more important in the Domain Lord's eyes, or our Li Family? Therefore, the Domain Lord will definitely not intervene in the war between our Li Family and the Yi Family. It is more likely that he will make a move when the Yi Family needs help. Everything is simply because our Li Family has no backing."
When speaking to the end, Li Taiping's tone was filled with unstoppable desolation. For the sake of the Li Family, he could do anything. Even if it meant dying, he wouldn't blink an eye. Even Li Yuping, this sapling of a God-Emperor, could be abandoned without hesitation.
After all, only a God-Emperor who has grown up is a God-Emperor; those who cannot grow up are dead people.
Hearing this, the Grand Elder also couldn't help but sigh. There was always an uneasy premonition in his heart, as if some major event was about to occur.
Meanwhile, inside the Domain Lord Realm, the Domain Lord was looking in the direction of the Li Family, and beside him, the Vice Domain Lord asked with some hesitation.
"Domain Lord, do we really not need to intervene in the war between the Yi Family and the Li Family? If this precedent is set, I fear it will be difficult for our Domain Lord Realm to establish authority in the future."
Hearing this, the Domain Lord of the Jingran Domain, God-Emperor Wanjing, had a calm expression and a cold tone.
"No need. Compared to God-Emperor Jing Rang, the Li Family is nothing. When necessary, assist the Yi Family so that the Yi Family is not defeated by the Li Family."
"Sigh, understood."
The Vice Domain Lord nodded and agreed. He was only at the God King Peak, and he could not interfere with the Domain Lord's decision.
Just then, God-Emperor Wanjing remembered something, looked in the direction of the Xue Lang Realm, and said.
"Has the identity of the expert who made a move against Li Changqing and Yi Zifeng in the Xue Lang Realm been investigated?"
"Not yet. I plan to go find the other party to understand the situation. If they are not my match, I will personally send them on their way."
The Vice Domain Lord shook his head and said with a solemn expression.
"Hmm, do it cleanly. Try to make friends with the Yi Family. In the future, you will know to what height the Yi Family of today will grow."
"Yes, Domain Lord."
