"Really not going to help out? The Li Family is no good thing."

Seeing Lin Hao about to be surrounded, Shen Fei grew tense. The Schen Family was outwardly amiable yet estranged with the Li Family, engaging in open strife and covert struggles—such an opportunity shouldn't be missed.

Shen Lian also frowned tightly, looking towards the onlooking crowd and inwardly judged something was amiss.

Suan San Sheng was Lin Hao's travel companion, a friend—they had even lent that invaluable ancient zither to Lin Hao for his use. In such a situation, Suan San Sheng was actually standing by, eating melon seeds. That could only mean one thing!

"Help him!"

Shen Lian's eyes suddenly brightened as he made a decision.

But just as he shouted to offer help, before the words even fell silent, suddenly, he saw Lin Hao appear like a ghost in front of Li Tianyu.

With an outstretched hand, he actually grabbed Li Tianyu by the throat, lifting him up!

The fight hadn't even started, and it was already over!

How is this possible?

The members of the Li Family didn't look any weaker than Lin Hao, yet Lin Hao could move freely among so many of the Li Family's experts and appear before Li Tianyu in a blink of an eye!

Moreover, Li Tianyu, a formidable practitioner, didn't even have time to react, and was grabbed by Lin Hao like an idiot!

In an instant, the desert once again fell silent.

Nobody understood what was happening; everyone was dumbfounded, except for Suan San Sheng who, like before, continued enjoying his melon seeds.

Li Tianyu felt that he couldn't breathe.

In fact, his face had long turned bright red, having completely forgotten he could still breathe!

At this moment, one thought echoed in Li Tianyu's mind: Impossible! This is an illusion! This can't be happening!

Li Tianyu couldn't figure it out. This man was clearly just a Bronze level; at most, a slightly more formidable Bronze. Yet, he could penetrate the formation of so many Li Family experts and suddenly appear before him, and Li Tianyu was totally unaware!

This man, named Mu Yi, a mere good-for-nothing in combat, shouldn't he be beaten to the ground by so many experts of the Li Family by now? Shouldn't he be begging for mercy while lying on the ground?

Li Tianyu felt his blood and shins freeze over from the boundless fear and bone-chilling cold. Other than shock, there was only endless fear!

He stared fixedly at Lin Hao, his eyes unblinking.

He couldn't comprehend how a mere Bronze level practitioner could grab him so effortlessly, as though picking up an ant!

Just how strong is this person?

And who exactly is he? Could he truly just be a Wandering Practitioner??

In an instant, both Shen Lian and Annie's father had this thought arise in their minds.

They essentially knew nothing about Lin Hao. It was only because Annie's father took money from Suan San Sheng that they agreed to travel with the caravan.

Now it seemed this man was no simple character!

Even Li Tianyu, a formidable practitioner, was struck down so easily. Such a powerful person had no need to travel with their caravan, let alone pay for it—he could easily make his way unhindered!

"Put down our Family Head!"

"Presumptuous kid! Do you know who you're holding?"

"Do you want to die? If our Family Head suffers the slightest harm, you won't survive ten days in the Desert!"

After the initial shock, the experts from the Li Family all regained their composure and shouted at Lin Hao.

They hadn't thought about it that much, simply feeling that they had kicked an iron plate today.

However, Shen Lian's eyes shone brightly as he looked at the Schen Family experts beside him: "What are you waiting for? Attack! Not a single person from the Li Family should be spared!"

As sharp as ever, Shen Lian, the second head of the Schen Family, had a unique vision. He knew that today the Li Family had provoked someone they shouldn't have—the Li Family was finished!

And for their Schen Family, there was a great opportunity to support this person called Mu Yi!

From now on, the Schen Family would gain a boost in strength and could take the chance to eliminate their rivals. Such a great opportunity was hard to find even with a lantern!

The people of the Shen Family immediately sprang into action, one of them charging forward with a loud howl.

"What are you doing!"

"Shen Family, aren't you afraid of retaliation from our Li Family!"

"Shen Family has no shame, daring to take advantage of others in their time of need!"

In an instant, the masters of the Li Family exploded in rage, bellowing furiously and engaging in a fierce fight with the masters of the Shen Family.

The well-organized caravan became chaotic all at once.

Meanwhile, Li Tianyu was still being held by the throat by Lin Hao, standing in the middle, completely ignoring the fierce battle nearby.

Li Tianyu was terrified and numb all over.

He wasn't foolish; he had now come to his senses and realized that the Li Family had collided with an immovable mountain.

Moreover, the Shen Family had even added insult to injury. With that, it was highly likely that the Li Family might be doomed for good!

The Li Family must not come to its end in the hands of Li Tianyu!

In his terror, Li Tianyu struggled desperately, trying with all his might to open his mouth wide.

"Spar..."

He wanted to say spare his life, willing to exchange it for countless top-quality Primordial Stones. But his throat was firmly gripped by Lin Hao, and he couldn't utter a word!

At this moment, Li Tianyu's eyes finally lost their killing intent, no longer filled with the anger they held before.

In his eyes, only endless pleading remained, looking at Lin Hao, hoping he would let go.

Regrettably, Lin Hao did not let go, and it was as though he did not even see the pleading in Li Tianyu's eyes.

Li Tianyu was petrified with fear!

He sensed the smell of death!

But, he didn't want to die!

The instinct to survive caused Li Tianyu's potential to burst forth; he struggled fiercely, trying to move his limbs, and gurgled three words from his throat: "Trea... treasure."

Treasure?

At this moment, Li Tianyu couldn't think of anything else; there was only one thing he could use to cling to life!

Treasure!

It was a world-shaking treasure he had recently stumbled upon in the Desert, a treasure he had intended to use to make the Li Family prosper, waiting for the right time to retrieve it.

But now, to save his own life, he could no longer wait!

Lin Hao did hear these two words.

Lin Hao was indifferent to most things, having already sentenced Li Tianyu to death today.

But, the mention of treasure did pique Lin Hao's interest for a moment.

At the same time, in the camp, the Shen Family and Li Family were locked in battle.

The Li Family, true to its name, had numerous masters and were a notch above the Shen Family, who were actually at a disadvantage.

From a distance, Annie watched anxiously towards where Lin Hao was, continually looking in her father's direction.

Annie's father's face was changing colors, and he finally made up his mind: "Attack! Wipe out the Li Family!"

With his command, the Lichang Clan's caravan also erupted, joining the fray.

Instantly, the sounds of battle cries were relentless.

And Li Tianyu, witnessing all this, felt his eyes were about to explode!

Two caravans attacking them; even if the Li Family were formidable, they couldn't withstand it!

The Li Family was finished!
