"What?"
"How can this be?"
Li Yuan was struck by thunder when he heard this. He stared with disbelief in his voice.
"Don't believe it?"
"Then I'll make you believe it."
Li Yihan painfully pointed to the place where Yi Feng and the others had just sat down, and said word for word: "Here, sat two second-step Martial Emperors."
"Here were four Martial Saints."
"And here in the black robe, was an existence beyond the Martial Emperor."
"As for the gentleman sitting here, he was a being beyond your and my imagination."
After saying that, she seemed to remember something and added, "Oh right, and here, the dog that was lying on the ground just now could also slap away any faction in Nansha with a single paw."
"So this is what you call an ordinary person!"
"What?"
Each of these pieces of information fell on Li Yuan's ears like a thunderbolt from the Ninth Heaven, echoing in his ears.
He staggered backwards, his face pale, murmuring to himself: "This can't be, how is this possible..."
Obviously.
Li Yuan couldn't accept this fact for a while, and was forcibly reassuring himself.
But he knew his daughter's personality very well, and she had no reason to lie to him at all.
In other words, the big figures that countless major forces in Nansha couldn't even get close to had come to his house, but he had chased them away.
Thinking of this, his face turned bloodless.
But he still forced a smile to comfort Li Yihan, "Yihan, this is indeed father's fault, because I really didn't know their identities!"
"Besides, I just asked them to leave, I didn't offend them. At most I missed out on a great opportunity. Maybe it just wasn't meant to be for our Li family. One has to be open-minded about this. It's no big deal, don't be angry."
But before his voice had even faded.
The steward of the Li family ran over with an ugly look and shouted, "Master, bad news, big trouble!"
"What's the matter?"
Li Yuan asked hurriedly.
"I just received the news that the Imperial Sword Sect we relied on has removed us from their subordinate families. What's more, they've taken back all three hundred shops that they granted us."
"What?"
Li Yuan's expression changed, but before he could say anything, someone hurriedly came to report again.
"Master, I just received a messaging jade tablet. Our cooperation with Wind and Cloud Valley's subordinate faction Ten Thousand Treasures Hall has been unilaterally canceled by Ten Thousand Treasures Hall."
"Report."
Then someone else rushed over with an ugly look and shouted, "The Blowing Snow Mountain Villa that the young master joined has expelled him, and at the same time all our other disciples who joined factions have also been expelled."
After these people, more and more bad news kept coming in.
As these pieces of bad news fell on Li Yuan's ears, his face finally lost all color and he slumped down on the ground.
From the news that had just been reported, all the connections, businesses, backers, and personal connections and resources that the Li family had accumulated over the years were gone in this moment.
"Why is this happening?"
Li Yuan sat limply on the ground, with tears flowing from his old eyes.
"Tell me why this is happening?"
Li Yihan said without the slightest surprise, "Because you offended that gentleman, and as for me, you didn't know their identities when you dismissed them, which can still be forgiven. But do you know, they were also my life-saving benefactors?"
"For our ungrateful Li family to end up like this, it serves us right."
After saying that, Li Yihan left the Li house with a cold face, leaving behind one last sentence before she left.
"I'm going to find the gentleman to atone for our sins. I won't be coming back for now."
Watching Li Yihan's departing figure, Li Yuan sat limply on the ground, his hair instantly turning white, filled with deep regret.
No more nonchalant words could come from his mouth.
Outside Jiayi City.
The major forces of Nansha gathered here.
"How did it go?"
Li Shuhua and others asked.
"I'll report to you gentlemen, from a subordinate of the Li family we found out that the gentleman did go to the Li house, but it seems the head of the Li family drove them away." The subordinate responded.
"What?"
Yang Tianyu, Li Shuhua and the other big figures all had huge changes of expression. They had been constantly guessing the purpose of this person's arrival in Nansha, so they would look into everything that Yi Feng experienced and every little sign.
When Yi Feng entered the Li house, they thought a major power was about to rise, but the Li family drove the gentleman away instead.
Who the hell did they think they were?
"But don't worry gentlemen, we've already sent word back to our sects, and the major sects have jointly severed all ties with the Li family. We were going to wipe out the Li family directly, but since that gentleman didn't make a move, it wouldn't look right for us to do so." The subordinate replied.
"Mm."
"Indeed."
The big shots present all nodded their heads, thinking this decision was well handled - it didn't court trouble but also didn't cross the line, hitting the sweet spot.
Just as everyone was about to continue secretly following Yi Feng and the others, another big event happened, and this one involved a major figure from Dongsheng Zhou.
Dongsheng Zhou.
It was an even more prosperous place.
In Dongsheng Zhou, Nansha was just a small part.
A month ago, this major figure in Dongsheng Zhou had sent word that he would come to Nansha to travel for a period of time, and inspect Nansha's factions along the way.
Originally, for this upcoming major figure, Nansha's factions had already agreed to gather together and receive him collectively when he arrived.
But Yi Feng's arrival and the series of major events it triggered made Nansha's factions forget about this major figure from Dongsheng Zhou.
Now, word had just arrived that this neglected major figure was furious about it.
This made Nansha's big shots at a loss for what to do.
If it was an ordinary person from Dongsheng Zhou, that would be fine, they knew who was more important compared to Yi Feng and company.
The key was that this major figure was no ordinary person.
He was the founding ancestor of the Xingyi Taiji sect in Dongsheng Zhou, Ma Baoguo.
He had left a legendary reputation with his one move Lightning Five Lash Whip, and his legends were everywhere on the mainland.
Most importantly, he was only 69 years old.
In the entire cultivation world, 69 was just a youngster. But at this age he had become a founding ancestor, which showed how terrifying his talents were.
Speaking of which, this major figure was also quite similar to Yi Feng - he had retreated behind the scenes many years ago and rarely made a move in recent years, so no one could see through his cultivation level either. On the surface he looked like an ordinary person.
But it was precisely because his depth was unclear that even the top experts of Dongsheng Zhou's super sects were wary of him to some extent.
Some guessed that he was at least a 10th step Martial Emperor.
Some guessed that he had already become immortal.
But in any case, this matter had placed Nansha's figures in a dilemma.
Yi Feng and Ma Baoguo, two peerless experts whose cultivation levels were unclear - who should they choose?
