22: Chapter 22 Third-Tier Elixir, The Li Family Invades!

"Start the draw!"

The wheel spun rapidly, eventually coming to a slow stop.

The pointer landed on the [Medicinal Pill] section.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a third-rank Medicinal Pill—'Spirit Pregnancy Pill'!]

[Spirit Pregnancy Pill: A third-rank special Medicinal Pill, limited to consumption by pregnant women.

After consumption, it optimizes the Origin and can improve the Spiritual Root quality of the conceived offspring,

while simultaneously increasing the probability of the offspring being born with a special spirit body or Physique.]

"This... this is a Divine Artifact tailored specifically for me!"

Ye Changge looked at the pill's description, his breathing quickening slightly.

For him and his many children, many blessings system,

the value of this item was simply immeasurable!

If he gave it to his wives and concubines who already had decent Spiritual Roots...

the children born might start at the sixth grade, fifth grade, or even higher!

The benefits fed back to him would also skyrocket accordingly!

"Good! Fantastic!"

Just as Ye Changge wanted to study it further,

a sudden change occurred above Biluo Lake!

*Buzz!*

Two powerful Spiritual Pressures descended without any concealment,

pressing down upon the entire Biluo Lake array.

The Family protection light curtain lit up in response, ripples shimmering across it.

Two figures stood suspended in the air.

One was a white-haired, white-bearded old man, the Li Family Old Ancestor Li Yuanhao.

The other was Li Xuanfeng, whose arrogance between his brows was even more pronounced.

The patrolling Ye Family disciples looked up.

Their faces instantly turned pale as they cried out in alarm.

"Found... Foundation Establishment Cultivators!

And there are two of them! Quick! Sound the alarm!

Report to the Old Ancestor and the Family Head!"

Urgent bell tolls resounded throughout Biluo Lake.

Li Yuanhao looked down at the array.

His voice was not loud, yet it was exceptionally clear.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, I, Li Yuanhao, have come with my junior Li Xuanfeng to pay a visit.

Do you have time for a chat today?"

As his voice fell, a streak of light shot up from the depths of Biluo Lake,

passing through the array—it was the Ye Family Old Ancestor Ye Fan!

He confronted the two from the Li Family from across the air.

The Ye Family Old Ancestor's expression was grave; when his gaze swept over Li Xuanfeng, his heart sank.

The Li Family... had actually gained another Foundation Establishment!

"Old Ghost Li!" the Ye Family Old Ancestor said coldly.

"Leading people to barge directly into my Ye Family's mountain gate—is this the Li Family's way of visiting?

Could it be that you intend to go to war with my Ye Family!"

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Ye, you overstate things." Li Yuanhao gave a fake smile.

"Go to war? That won't be necessary.

I have come today only to demand an explanation,

to seek justice for my Li Family's Elder who died in vain!"

"Slander!"

The Ye Family Old Ancestor said angrily,

"When did my Ye Family ever kill your Li Family's Elder? Stop spouting nonsense here!"

"Hmph, since I dared to come, I naturally have evidence."

Li Yuanhao's eyes turned sharp.

"About a year ago, in the barren mountains outside White Bird Market,

our Li Family's External Affairs Elder Li Mo, along with a Guest Elder, Talisman Master Lin, vanished without a trace!

Upon investigation, only your Ye Family disciple Ye Changge's flying boat passed through that area on that day!"

"Today, your Ye Family must hand over the murderer Ye Changge to be taken back and dealt with by my Li Family! Otherwise..."

Li Xuanfeng interjected from the side.

"Otherwise, in three days, my Li Family will consider your Ye Family to be harboring a murderer,

and officially declare war! When we meet on the battlefield, don't blame my Li Family for showing no mercy!"

The hidden daggers were revealed! This was clearly an overt scheme!

If they handed him over, the Ye Family would be cutting off its own arm, giving up its future hope;

if they didn't, it would provide the Li Family with the perfect excuse to launch a Family war!

No matter the choice, the Ye Family was in a passive position.

The Ye Family disciples within the array were all filled with indignation upon hearing this,

yet they felt a sense of powerlessness and frustration.

To be blocked at their own doorstep and threatened,

especially when the opponent's strength was greater,

this sense of humiliation was almost suffocating.

The Ye Family Old Ancestor's face was livid, his chest heaving slightly.

He naturally knew what the other party was planning,

but right now... two Foundation Establishments were blocking the gate,

and one of them was even at the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage!

The Ye Family only had him as a single Foundation Establishment;

if they truly started fighting, there was absolutely no chance of victory.

The two from the Li Family across from him showed looks of triumph.

Just then,

*Screech!!!*

A high-pitched, noble eagle cry

suddenly rang out from the depths of Biluo Lake, its sound shaking the surrounding fields!

In the next moment, under everyone's astonished gazes,

a dark-gold figure shot into the sky, its speed as fast as lightning!

It was a magnificent and extraordinary giant eagle!

On its back, a handsome young man with a face like jade stood with his hands behind his back,

his robes fluttering; he truly looked like a banished immortal descending to the mortal world, with peerless grace!

It was Ye Changge!

And beneath him was Xiao Jin!

The giant eagle hovered in the air, facing the two from the Li Family from a distance.

Under Ye Changge's command, Xiao Jin

released the spiritual power fluctuations of a Second-tier Demonic Beast without any concealment.

"A Foundation Establishment Stage Yao Beast?!"

"This... this is a second-tier spirit bird! How is this possible?!"

The triumph on the faces of Li Yuanhao and Li Xuanfeng instantly froze.

They never expected that the Ye Family, besides the Old Ancestor,

would also be hiding such a Foundation Establishment combat power!

And it was an extremely rare and difficult-to-tame flying-type Yao Beast!

The Ye Family disciples within the array were even more in an uproar,

each one staring with wide eyes and open mouths.

"So... so beautiful, what a big vulture!"

"What vulture! That's an eagle! Didn't you hear the cry!"

"My god, a Second-tier Demonic Beast! That's equivalent to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator! How did Brother Changge subdue it?!"

"I heard that Second-tier Demonic Beasts have already developed intelligence and are extremely hard to make recognize a master, especially such a majestic flying beast..."

"Could it be... this eagle is female?"

Someone whispered a small comment, though it was unclear who.

Instantly, countless gazes simultaneously turned toward the heroic Ye Changge in the sky.

"As expected of Brother Changge!"

This line of thinking was very Ye Changge!

Ye Changge stepped forward a few paces on the eagle,

his gaze calmly sweeping over the ugly expressions of Li Yuanhao and Li Xuanfeng.

"Fellow Daoists, aggressively blocking my Ye Family's gate and repeatedly demanding an explanation..."

His voice was clear and reached everywhere,

"So, the two lowlifes who set an ambush on the road a year ago,

intending to rob and kill me and my wives and concubines, were from the Li Family?"

"I haven't even gone to your Li Family to settle the score for frightening my ladies,

yet you have the nerve to come to our door and make false accusations?"

Li Yuanhao's eyes flickered, and he suddenly smiled.

"Little Friend Ye, you misunderstand. Today's matter might be a bit of a misunderstanding; why don't we come back another day..."

He wanted to retreat first and plan further.

"Another day?"

Ye Changge interrupted him, his voice turning cold.

"You two come and go as you please—what do you take my Ye Family for? A vegetable market?"

Before his voice finished, his fingers moved like a butterfly through flowers!

*Swish! Swish! Swish!*

Several streaks of spiritual light flew out from his sleeve,

hovering before him—they were actually three Talismans!

Every single Talisman radiated extremely strong spiritual power fluctuations,

making both men in front of him feel a sense of threat.

"These are... second-rank talismans!"

Li Yuanhao's pupils constricted.

Beside him, Old Ancestor Ye Fan was also stunned;

when did such a Qilin son appear among his descendants?

"Since you two have come, you're leaving without providing an 'explanation'?"

"My wives down there were just frightened; how shall we settle the cost of the calming Medicinal Pills!"

His tone was leisurely, the spiritual light from the Talismans in his hand flickering.

"I don't want much—just compensate us with some Spirit Stones and foundation establishment spiritual items to ease their shock.

Oh, right, and my Xiao Jin here is hungry after flying for so long, so count that in as well!"
