truggled to his feet, realizing at that moment that he had messed with a dangerous person. He quickly managed a smile that was uglier than crying."Big brother, I... I was just joking around. I was jus...Seeing Li Fu like this, Li He yuan immediately frowned.

"What's going on Where is the Second Elder"

Even Shi Yaoyang put down his teacup this time, a bad premonition settling in his heart.

Li Fu gasped for breath and stammered, "T-two... Two Elders was also captured."

"What, the Second Elder was actually captured How is that possible"

Li He Yuan's expression changed instantly, "How was the Second Elder captured"

“He was poisoned by Ye Bufan and then arrested.”

"Pfft..."

Teacher Daliang Yao Yang originally wanted to drink some tea, to calm the shock in his heart. As soon as it reached his mouth, he spat it out with a "pffft."

Mu Sanniang has always been renowned for her unparalleled skill in using poison. In the martial arts world, the mention of the Poisonous Fairy would strike fear into the hearts of all. One who was the most adept at using poison, never imagined being poisoned herself today.

Shi Yaoyang didn't even bother wiping the water from his lips, and looked at Li Fu, asking: "Are you serious"

Even now, he can't believe it's true.

"It's true, I saw it with my own eyes. Even I was poisoned by Ye Bufan."

Li Fu went through the entire story, and finally said, "The Second Elder originally wanted to poison the person surnamed Ye, but for some reason, the other party didn't suffer any harm at all. In the end, she poisoned herself instead!"

"This kid is really something!"

Shi Yanyang suddenly stood up and looked at Li He yuan, saying: "Patriarch, I'll go this time. I will definitely bring Ye Bufan back to you."

Li He yuan's face was gloomy, but his heart was filled with shock.

I originally thought that once Ye Bufan lost the protection of Cangfeng Academy, capturing him would be a piece of cake. However, I didn't expect to lose two elders and over ten strong warriors in a row.

By now, he finally realized that the other party was definitely a tough opponent.

"Grand Elder, this time let's go together."

After Li He yuan finished speaking, he paced back and forth in the room for a few circles. Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he said to Li Fu: "You go find the second brother now."

"Have him mobilize three thousand city guard troops. We'll go to the Lingxiao Palace together. I don't believe that with all the power of my Li family, we can't deal with a mere upstart."

As a prominent family in Tianfeng City, the Li family boasts formidable strength. They not only possess a retinue of powerful warriors but also wield significant influence within both the imperial court and the military.

His second son, Li Chengzhong, was the commander of the city guard army, commanding 50,000 soldiers.

Li Fu knew this time the head of the family was truly angry, not daring to delay for a moment, he hurriedly ran out.

Shi Yaoyang's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Patriarch, there's actually no need to do this. With my cultivation at the Nascent Soul Stage, I'm confident I can bring that Ye kid back."

Besides, mobilizing the city guards has a formal procedure. If mobilized privately, there might be trouble later on.

"It's nothing, just moving three thousand won't cause too much of a stir, and besides, this matter couldn't possibly be known by those above."

Li He yuan said, "We're just being cautious. We'll have the second brother wait with people under the mountain. If the Grand Elder can catch that Ye kid, everything will go smoothly."

"If something really unexpected happens, I won't believe that he can still withstand the 3,000 troops."

This time Shi Yaoyang didn't speak, but his heart was a little uncomfortable. Li He Yuan did this, seemingly to make all preparations, but in fact, he didn't quite believe in his own abilities.

But he didn't dare say anything about it, so he could only secretly make up his mind to give that Ye kid a good lesson when the time came, and let the Li family see the strength of their great elder.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in armor walked in from outside. It was Li Chengzhong, the second son of the Li family.

After he entered the room, he asked, "Father, what's wrong"

"There have been some troubles..."

Li He Yuan recounted the events, finally stating, "It seems now that Tong'er most likely died at his hands. However, that boy is very powerful and has already captured over a dozen of our experts."

This time, we not only need to get revenge on Li Tong but also to uphold the honor of our Li family. Therefore, we must ensure absolute success.

You also stay with your men down the mountain, await my order. If everything goes smoothly, you'll take your men back and pretend nothing happened.

"If something happens on our side, come with your troops immediately. There's no way three thousand soldiers can't handle him."

"Rest assured, Father. I've brought three thousand ironclad soldiers this time. Even if he is powerful, he can't escape the grasp of our Li family."

As a military general, Li Chengzhong was confident. In his view, no matter how high an individual's cultivation level was, it would be impossible to stand up to a large army.

After everything was ready, the Li family set off and arrived at the foot of Lingxiao Mountain. Li Chengzhong led 3,000 soldiers to guard at the foot of the mountain, while Li He yuan and Shi Yaoyang, along with the Li family's experts, rushed towards the top of the mountain.

Ye Bufan and others had already finished dinner, but no one left, sitting there waiting for the arrival of the Li family.

"Little Brother, they're here!" Hu Yaoyao looked down the mountain and saw Li He Yuan leading dozens of people charging up the mountaintop with a fierce look.

Li Dao ran lay on the big stone and gulped down a mouthful of wine, then wiped his mouth and said: "Little fellow, the main person you're looking for has arrived. That old geezer is Li He yuan, the head of the Li family."

Ye Bufan nodded. At this time, the people from the Li family had already rushed to them.

Li He yuan cast a sullen glance in their direction, his eyes finally settling on Ye Bufan.

"Boy, did you kidnap someone from the Li family"

Ye Bufan smiled slightly: "That's right, but it wasn't me who caught them. As you saw, they came to me themselves."

Li He yuan's eyes flashed a cold light: "Then let me ask you again, did my grandson Li Tong die at your hands"

"You're talking about Li Tong, right Is he dead I don't know, it's been ages since I last saw him."

"They all say good people don't live long, and villains live for a thousand years. He shouldn't die so soon, right"

Ye Bufan now represents Lingxiao Academy. For something like this, he naturally wouldn't foolishly admit it in front of so many people.

"Boy, you have guts! No one has ever dared to disrespect the Li family like this in all these years!"

Although he didn't admit it, publicly calling his grandson a troublemaker had thoroughly enraged Li He Yuan.

"Listen up, kid. I'm giving you two choices: release the person immediately and get down on your knees to apologize. Then maybe, just maybe, I'll let you live. As for those women behind you, my family will take care of them."

Otherwise, this old man would surely dismember you and sell those women to brothels.

By the end, he was gritting his teeth, it was clear how much hatred he felt for the young man in front of him.

It's no wonder that after so many years in Tianfeng City, the Li family has never suffered such a huge loss. Once it gets spread around, their reputation will undoubtedly be ruined, and as the head of the household, he will naturally lose face.

Faced with his threat, Ye Bufan just gave a disdainful smile.

"Old Man Li, at your age you're still always fighting and killing. It's not good. I only give you one choice: pay money to buy all these people back."

"Kid, you're asking for it!"

Li He Yuan waved his hand behind him: "Get him!"

Shi Yayang had been watching from the sidelines with a predatory gaze. Now, upon receiving the master's command, he strode confidently towards them.

As a powerful being in his fusion stage, he grew stronger with every step he took. By the time he reached Ye Bufan, his boundless aura had enveloped the entire arena.e he couldn't get the treasure, and now all that anger was directed at Ye Bufan.After finishing his sentence, he raised his sword to attack but was pulled back by Meng Gang.He looked at Ye Bufan: “Do...
