Li Fenglin locked eyes with Jiang Chen and clenched his teeth fiercely.

"Mr. Jiang, do you know? When I insisted on becoming your disciple, apart from wanting your help, there was another reason, your temperament, your character, really reminded me of my great ancestor. I've seen the shadow of my great ancestor in you several times!"

As he spoke, Li Fenglin's eyes turned resolute, mixed with a trace of longing.

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, then he understood.

Although Li Fenglin had explained it before, Jiang Chen still found it hard to comprehend why Li Fenglin, who had been stronger than him, wanted him as a master based purely on the previous explanation.

But now, he truly understood Li Fenglin's actions; he must have seen in him a place to harbor the feelings of longing for his great ancestor!

Li Fenglin's expression turned serious, and he bowed deeply to Jiang Chen with a fist-cupped salute, "Please help me, from now on, as long as I, Li Fenglin, am alive, I will hold your command above all else!"

"Good!" Jiang Chen nodded, then turned and glanced at the group of Li family members in front of him, and coldly ordered, "Make them kneel!"

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Before Jiang Chen's words had finished, Yan Hu and Qingyuan Yingzi had already charged out swiftly.

"How dare you..."

The faces of the Li family members changed, and Li family's third grandfather bellowed.

Bang!

Before Li family's third grandfather could finish his sentence, a figure swiftly appeared in front of him. Yan Hu had reached him and fiercely punched him in the mouth.

Whoosh! Plop!

Li family's third grandfather was sent flying without any ability to resist!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Ah!"

Crack!

The sounds of muffled impacts, screams, and breaking bones rose in rapid succession.

Plop! Plop! Plop!

"Ouch!"

"My leg!"

"My Dantian, my Dantian is ruined!"

Three breaths later, the Li family members lay all over the ground, continuously wailing. Some even showed a look of despair on their faces, but not a single one could stand up again!

A few young men were completely terrified, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at Jiang Chen and the others. Their Dantians were all ruined, and their legs were bent strangely, their faces pale with terror.

"Bastards! Li Fenglin! Jiang Chen! You're finished!"

"How dare you strike in our Li family valley, you're dead!"

"Just wait, our ancestor won't let you get away with this!"

Two old men and three middle-aged men, all severely injured, lay on the ground, staring fixedly at Jiang Chen and the others, shouting loudly.

"Let's go!"

Jiang Chen spoke indifferently and began walking toward the valley, followed closely by the others.

"How dare you make a move in our Li family valley?!"

"Stop them!"

"Capture them and take them to the Family Head!"

In the valley, a group of people from the Li family charged out, yelling as they rushed toward Jiang Chen and his companions.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Yan Hu, Qingyuan Yingzi, and Wu Qianxun immediately confronted the Li family members, where several Semi Venerable Venerable Realm experts had already emerged. Wu Qianxun could no longer hide his strength!

Hum, hum, hum!

A powerful aura erupted at the mouth of the valley, spreading throughout the entire area.

Bang, bang, bang!

"Ah!"

The sounds of impact and screams continually echoed.

Li Fenglin walked quickly beside Jiang Chen, glancing left and right in shock and excitement at the Li family members strewn on the ground.

The two of them walked quickly, but the Li family members blocking their path fell even faster.

Yan Hu and his two companions fully unleashed their power, blazing a trail through the valley and creating a clear path paved with the bodies of the Li family members for Jiang Chen and him.

Initially, Li Fenglin was somewhat concerned that Yan Hu and the others might seriously injure or kill the Li family members, but when he realized no one from the Li family had died, his worrying heart completely relaxed, turning into excitement.

He had imagined many scenarios for his return, but he had never envisioned that he would forcefully make his way in from the mouth of the valley in such a strong manner.

Glancing at Jiang Chen, Li Fenglin's eyes filled with deep gratitude.

He knew well that Jiang Chen was doing all this for him.

Firstly, if it weren't for him, Jiang Chen would have had no reason to come here, and secondly, the disrespect shown by the people at the valley's mouth had been dealt with. Jiang Chen had no need to be so confrontational with the Li family just over a few words!

Jiang Chen's actions were meant to assert his stance and to intimidate the Li family, so that when they met the true decision-makers of the Li family, he could help Li Fenglin obtain a better bargaining chip for the rites!

In the center of the Li family valley, an ancient-looking pavilion stood by the riverbank.

In front of the pavilion, three square tables were set up, each seating four people.

"Supreme Long Huang, Mr. Juncheng, Mr. Long, thank you all for coming!" An old man with white hair and beard stood up from the central table in the front row and greeted the other three with a fist salute.

"Mr. Li is being too polite! The Li family is a subsidiary of the Huangluo Clan. Over the years, you have made great contributions to our clan. On the anniversary of the death of the three gentlemen, the Huangluo Clan surely could not miss it," a middle-aged man spoke with a light laugh.

"No need to be so courteous, Mr. Li. Mr. Tian Chong is a man of integrity, and since we were dealing with Mr. Juncheng already, encountering this event, we naturally had to come and pay our respects as well!" Supreme Long Huang spoke softly.

Chen Long, also known as Elder Qing, simply smiled lightly without speaking.

He and Supreme Long Huang were here to discuss matters with the Huangluo Clan and, having learned that Huangluo Juncheng was here, had sought him out.

The Huangluo Clan remained concealed in the north, their territory strictly off-limits to outsiders, and Huangluo Juncheng served as a liaison between the Flame Dragon Group and the Huangluo Clan, which was why they had come.

Hum! Hum! Hum!

Suddenly, a surge of aura fluctuated, causing everyone's expressions to change as they all turned to look toward the valley's entrance.

"Ha-ha, no worries, perhaps some petty thieves have come, they will be quickly dealt with," Li Tianjiang, the senior ancestor of the Li family, said with a slight change in his expression and a light laugh.

The four elders at the table to the left all shifted their gazes subtly, with two of them exchanging glances and turning to look at Li Tianjiang.

This table was occupied by Li Tianlin, the second elder ancestor, Li Tianzheng, the fourth elder ancestor, Li Tianyou, the fifth elder ancestor, and Fang Tiancheng, the sixth elder ancestor!

All of them had sensed the disturbance coming from the valley's entrance and, after extending their senses, had detected Li Fenglin's presence.

Meanwhile, at the middle table, both Supreme Long Huang and Elder Qing also showed slight changes in their expressions, having sensed Jiang Chen's presence.

"Is it him? He's come too!"

Suddenly, a light exclamation sounded.

Everyone was taken aback, turning their heads to look at a young man sitting at the right side table.
