33: Li Xianxian's Changes

On Nebula Island, at the Yun Family base, two Foundation Establishment Cultivators had died, so they certainly could not remain indifferent.

However, anyone capable of killing two Foundation Establishment Cultivators must be at least a Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

The Yun Family Head was the only Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator; at this moment, he frowned, looking calmly at the remaining clansmen.

In the Cultivation World, if one speaks of powerful strength, it must be the Sects, but if one speaks of unity, it is only the Families, with their shared Bloodline.

A Sect is a hodgepodge that might contain Families within it; Families are different, as they are all related by kinship, brainwashed from a young age, and grow up Cultivating for the rise of the Family.

It can be said that, with few exceptions, a Family is as solid as a rock.

The Yun Family is different; the Yun Family is divided into two factions: the Late Stage Foundation Establishment Family Head is one faction, and the three Middle Stage Foundation Establishment clansmen are another. If not for the Old Family Head pressing down from above, they would have probably been in chaos long ago.

The two killed Foundation Establishment Cultivators belonged to the Grand Elder's lineage, and the Grand Elder would soon be able to reach a Breakthrough to the Late Stage Foundation Establishment.

Because the Family Head controls a large amount of the Family's resources, the rest would band together to obtain more resources from the Family Head's hands.

The Old Family Head is in seclusion all year round; unless the Family is on the verge of destruction, he will not come out.

The current Family Head would not destroy the three Middle Stage Foundation Establishment clansmen of the Yun Family, but he often suppressed them; for example, the two Foundation Establishment clansmen who went this time were both arranged by the Family Head.

But at this moment, he did not know whether to be sad or to be in a state of Life Qi, after all, the two who died were both Yun Family members and belonged to the Yun Family's combat power.

Yet they were not his subordinates; although they obeyed his orders, they were not of one mind with him.

Such clansmen, logically speaking, deserved to die, but their deaths meant that the Yun Family's strength had decreased significantly.

The Grand Elder said with a cold expression, "The Li Family deserves to be destroyed."

The Second Elder and Third Elder both nodded and said, "To dare to kill our Yun Family's Foundation Establishment Cultivator, the Li Family must be destroyed."

The Yun Family Head frowned and said, "To be able to instantly kill them, can you do it?"

As his voice fell, the three Elders were silent, and only after a long while did they say, "What if the Family Head acts?"

The Yun Family Head shook his head and said, "I could kill them, but killing both at the same time is somewhat difficult."

"It is not certain whether the opponent is from the Li Family, so let's go and investigate first. If they are from the Li Family, then tell this news to the other two families."

"If the opponent is just passing by, then we will destroy the Li Family with lightning speed, which can be considered as avenging them."

Saying this, the Yun Family Head narrowed his eyes slightly.

This was a bit cowardly; if the Li Family was powerful, they would unite the power of the three families to destroy it, but if it was a passing expert, they would turn a blind eye.

This could avoid bringing disaster to the Family, while also eliminating the danger of the Li Family.

But the Li Family was not so easy to provoke; except for Li Ziqing and Li Ziyi, the rest had all hidden their Cultivation, and when walking outside, they all moved about in the Qi Refining Realm.

The several Elders nodded one after another, feeling that the Family Head's idea was quite good.

"Someone come here, go and investigate how the two Elders died."

Cultivation Families all have Soul Lamps; as long as the Soul Lamp goes out, they know whether the clansman has died.

That the Yun Family could know was naturally because of the Soul Lamps.

"Yes!"

The clansmen waiting outside hurriedly responded and then left quickly.

The Yun Family had its own intelligence organization, so there was no need for Foundation Establishment Cultivators to go personally; if they lost another one or two, they would also feel the pain.

...

Outside the Yun Family's Nebula Island, Li Xiantian could not help but frown, watching the Yun Family members going in and out, not knowing what had happened.

In a short time, most of the Yun Family's Foundation Establishment Stage members had all returned to the Family; could it be that something had happened?

Li Xianxian asked, "Big Brother, shall we retreat first?"

Li Xiantian shook his head and said, "No need. Let's do this: we will wait a while, catch a few Yun Family Cultivators, and ask them."

Li Xianxian nodded and said, "Alright, I'll listen to you."

Of the Li Family's Xian Generation, Li Xiantian was the eldest, Li Xianxian was the third, and the others had not succeeded in Foundation Establishment.

Not long after, several Cultivators walked out of the Yun Family, and Li Xiantian and the other became vigilant.

After they walked far away, Li Xiantian and the other hurriedly chased after them.

Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators can fly with swords; those few Qi Refining Stage Cultivators had not gone far before they were caught by Li Xiantian and the other.

After catching them, Li Xiantian and the other did not kill them directly but flew towards the distance.

On an unnamed small island, Li Xiantian stared at the people lying on the ground and asked, "What are you doing? Why have most of the Yun Family's Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators returned?"

"Hmph, don't even think about getting news about the Yun Family from our mouths."

They were Family Cultivators after all; when it came to the interests of the Family, they were not even afraid of death.

Li Xiantian nodded and said, "Since that is the case, then you also know that we Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators have a Spell; this Spell is called Soul Searching, and I believe you would like to taste the flavor of Soul Searching."

"Since that is the case, I will satisfy you and let you taste the feeling of being Soul Searched."

As his voice fell, Li Xiantian directly performed the Soul Searching.

"Ah!"

A miserable scream came from the opponent's mouth, which made one's hair stand on end.

Li Xianxian opened his mouth, wanting to stop him, but Li Xiantian did not let him speak.

"You must know that in this Cultivation World of the law of the jungle, apart from your own clansmen, there is no trust to speak of."

"If you appear too weak, then you will be eliminated in this Cultivation World; after all, this is a Cultivation World where it is either you die or I die."

"If you cannot adapt to such an environment, you might as well go back and stay at home to be an ordinary clansman."

Li Xianxian nodded thoughtfully and grabbed one of the Yun Family members next to him, starting a Soul Search.

He did not want to return to the Family and just be an ordinary clansman; he wanted to keep up with the Old Family Head's pace, grow quickly, and even surpass the Old Family Head to achieve the Golden Core or Nascent Soul.

"Ah!"

Another scream rang out, and this time there was not a trace of sympathy on Li Xianxian's face.

Through the opponent's memories, he knew the cruelty of the Cultivation World; if not for the Li Family having some strength, they would have probably been destroyed by the Yun Family long ago.

The reason was precisely that the Li Family had Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators, which threatened the Yun Family's position.

Li Xianxian knew that if he were not strong enough and the Li Family were not strong enough, they would really be destroyed.

"Big Brother, I know I was wrong; for the sake of the Family, and for myself, I will definitely not be soft-hearted again."

Li Xiantian nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, very good; then you must remember what you said today."

After speaking, he threw the Yun Family Cultivator in his hand to the side; the Yun Family Cultivator who had been Soul Searched had already become a fool and was drooling not far away.

The remaining Yun Family Cultivators were pale, not expecting that the high and mighty Yun Family would actually suffer such an encounter; it was truly damnation.

Li Xiantian smiled and said, "In my opinion, it must be that Grandfather has returned; otherwise, it would be impossible for the Family's Cultivators to have killed two Foundation Establishment Stage experts."

"There is no need for us to worry about the Family anymore; we can go out to train with peace of mind."

"Xianxian, where are you going to train next? I am planning to go to the Tiannan Cultivation World."

Li Xianxian was confused for a moment, then finally said, "I will still train in the South Sea Cultivation World, but I want to leave Tianmen Island and head to a more prosperous place."

Li Xiantian nodded and said, "Alright, then I wish you an early Breakthrough to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment."

As his voice fell, Li Xiantian flew directly towards the nearest market.

Li Xianxian did not expect Li Xiantian to leave just like that, and finally sighed, "It seems I should set off as well."
