348: Chapter 349 As expected, the Li family colluded with the demonic path!

Ye Changge lifted his foot and walked up the mountain.

Lin Zhengyuan followed closely behind, fine beads of sweat already seeping from his forehead. It was unclear if it was because of the hurried pace or nervousness in his heart.

Just as they reached the middle of the mountainside, a figure walked out from an Immortal Cave on the mountain and blocked their path.

It was an elder of the Li Family, with gray hair, a withered face, and a cultivation level of only the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Seeing Ye Changge, a trace of hatred flashed in the old man's eyes. He spoke to the other party in an unfriendly tone: "Hmph, Ye Changge, it is the middle of the night. You have come to our Li Family's Spiritual Land; I wonder what business you have here?"

His voice carried a hint of trembling, clearly indicating he was extremely uneasy.

Ye Changge did not stop his pace and glanced at him coldly: "Move aside."

The old man snorted coldly and said to the other party.

"Ancestor Ye, you and our Clan Chief signed a Spiritual Contract back then, stating that we would not interfere with each other. Our Li Family has now retreated to this place and is keeping to ourselves. Are you planning to break the contract!"

Ye Changge couldn't be bothered to waste any more words on him.

Slap!

He swung his palm out.

Spiritual Qi condensed in his palm, forming a translucent cyan palm print, which slapped toward the old man's face.

A crisp sound echoed through the mountains.

"The Spiritual Contract I signed with your Li Family was to give you a way to survive, not for you to bark in front of me!"

Ye Changge withdrew his hand, his voice cold as ice: "Li Xuanfeng, get out here!"

The voice was not loud, but it carried the Spiritual Power fluctuations of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, exploding like a thunderclap across the entire stone mountain and echoing through the valley.

For a moment, the remaining Li Family members in the surrounding Immortal Caves were all awakened. One by one, they poked their heads out to look, but upon seeing Ye Changge's stern face, they quickly shrank back, not daring to make a sound.

A moment later, the Restriction on the largest Immortal Cave on the mountainside slowly opened.

A figure walked out from the Immortal Cave.

It was a man in his thirties with a refined face and an elegant demeanor, wearing a cyan robe with a jade pendant hanging at his waist. He looked at Ye Changge, frowned slightly, and said with a tone of displeasure: "Ye Changge, why are you looking for me?"

It was indeed Li Xuanfeng.

Ye Changge's gaze fell upon this person, observing him carefully.

The appearance was Li Xuanfeng.

The aura was Foundation Establishment Early Stage, exactly the same as before.

The mannerisms were elegant and calm, showing no flaws.

But—

A cold sneer curled the corners of Ye Changge's mouth.

No matter how well the person before him was disguised, how could he deceive him?

His Divine Sense was comparable to a False Core Stage Cultivator, and his perception of auras was extremely acute.

"Li Xuanfeng?" Ye Changge smiled, his smile icy cold.

"You have done a good job with this face."

As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeve!

A golden Talisman flew out from his sleeve, transforming into a golden rope in mid-air, shooting toward that "Li Xuanfeng"!

It was precisely a second-tier supreme-grade Talisman—the Body-Binding Talisman!

"Li Xuanfeng's" expression changed drastically, and he instinctively wanted to dodge, but the Body-Binding Talisman was too fast and possessed tracking capabilities. Before he could react, he was bound tightly by the golden rope!

"You... what are you doing!?" He struggled and shouted angrily, "Ye Changge, you are breaking the contract! With the Spiritual Contract above, are you not afraid of the backlash from the Heavenly Dao!?"

Ye Changge completely ignored his clamoring. He raised his hand and struck out another beam of spiritual light, which landed on "Li Xuanfeng's" face.

As the spiritual light flickered, the elegant face twisted and deformed like water ripples, revealing another face.

It was a rugged face.

Thick eyebrows, large eyes, a square face, dark skin, and a hideous scar running diagonally from the brow bone to the chin.

It was completely different from the elegant and refined Li Xuanfeng from just a moment ago.

This was a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator with an unfamiliar face that Ye Changge had never seen before.

"As expected." Ye Changge's gaze turned cold.

His guess was correct.

Apart from the remnants of the Jin Family, the remaining person was Li Xuanfeng himself!

The person before him was merely a body double that Li Xuanfeng had found from somewhere to deceive others.

Ye Changge then said coldly to the crowd: "What else does your Li Family have to say? With both human witnesses and physical evidence present, you dare to collude with Demonic Path forces!"

His gaze was like a knife, sweeping across the face of every Li Family member present, his voice freezing to the bone.

Upon hearing this, the Lin Family Clan Chief's expression changed drastically. He made a prompt decision and shouted sharply to the Lin Family members behind him: "Quick! Call for people! Take them all down!"

"Yes!" The Lin Family members responded in unison.

They were all elites of the Lin Family and knew how serious the crime of colluding with the Demonic Path was. In an instant, dozens of figures brought out their Magical Artifacts, surrounding the area completely.

Several Lin Family members even took out jade slips for communication, sending beams of spiritual light shooting into the sky to request reinforcements from the Family.

The Li Family members on the side were terrified upon seeing this, their faces turning ashen.

"Ye Changge! You are slandering us!" A middle-aged Li Family elder roared angrily, his face flushed red.

"Ancestor Ye! There must be some misunderstanding here! We were not aware of the truth!" Another young Cultivator turned pale, waving his hands repeatedly, his tone full of panic.

"Ah? Where is the Old Ancestor? Where did Old Ancestor Xuanfeng go?"

Someone looked around, searching for Li Xuanfeng's figure, only to discover that the "Old Ancestor" was nowhere to be found.

For a moment, the Li Family members reacted differently. Some were surprised, some were angry, some were pale and trembling, while others had guilt flash in their eyes as they quietly shrank to the back of the crowd.

Ye Changge watched all this with cold eyes, ignoring the clamor of the crowd.

He took out a sound-transmission Talisman and activated it with Spiritual Power. His voice, carrying the Spiritual Pressure of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, rolled like thunder across the entire stone mountain: "All Li Family members, listen well! Do not resist! I have already reported this matter to the Lingxiao Sect, and the Sect will make its own judgment! Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"

The voice echoed in the valley, lingering for a long time.

Ye Changge sneered inwardly.

If it hadn't been for the Spiritual Contract he signed with Li Xuanfeng, he would have killed all these people long ago. Colluding with the Demonic Path and harming the Zhao State—they deserved to die.

However, not everyone was willing to be captured without a fight.

"Everyone, let's fight this Ye Changge! He must want to eliminate us and is deliberately framing us!"

A Li Family elder at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, his eyes bloodshot and his face ferocious, shouted loudly.

Before he finished speaking, his Spiritual Power erupted, and he brought out a cold, gleaming Flying Sword, shooting it toward Ye Changge!

"Yes! Fight him!"

"The Ye Family is bullying us too much!"

Several more Li Family members were incited, their eyes boiling with killing intent, and they all brought out their Magical Artifacts, charging toward Ye Changge!

In an instant, several beams of spiritual light tore through the night sky, carrying fierce killing intent, heading straight for Ye Changge's face!

"Noisy!"

Ye Changge didn't even look at them; he stood with his hands behind his back, his Spiritual Qi erupting instantly!

That majestic Spiritual Power, like a raging sea, surged out from his body, turning into a visible wave of Spiritual Power that swept out in all directions!

Boom!

The Li Family members who were charging over, along with their Magical Artifacts, were instantly blasted away by this terrifying force!
