Chief Li was extremely satisfied with the silent crowd.
In this world, the strong are respected.
As one of the top five families, the Li family had authority over those sects, families, and rogue cultivators who were weaker.
If they didn't obey, they would die!
Those who submit will prosper, and those who resist will perish!
They were just sects and families that had yet to reach the top, and even if they teamed up, they weren't a match for the Li family either!
Moreover, it was impossible for these sects and families to unite!
Although everyone was extremely angry at the Li family's actions, they still wouldn't join forces.
After all, no one could be certain that the temporary alliance wouldn't break and turn on each other.
There might even be a spy from the Li family among them.
As one of the top families, the Li family's power was unrivaled.
Many of them were sects or families affiliated to the Li family as well.
Moreover, who would want to take the first step which would put them right under the crosshair.
As long as there was the slightest intention of an alliance, the Li family would probably take action directly.
Not to mention that the Li family also had an Eighth-grade Pre-Emperor!
The strength gap between an Eighth-grade Pre-Emperor was not something that could be made up for with numbers.
An Eighth-grade Pre-Emperor was someone who could even interfere in the battle of Semi-Grand Emperors.
Their highest realm was only a Fourth-grade Pre-Emperor, how dare they join the alliance and resist?
Feeling helpless, the families and sects worked around the Li family and tried to take some of the Ye family's resources.
Fortunately, although the Li family was strong, the Ye family was a big family. Even the Li family couldn't take all the resources of the Ye family in a short time.
They could even give the sects and families a piece of the pie.
Just a mouthful of benefit was already extremely beneficial to these sects and families.
The Ye family was the most powerful family among the five great families.
Even if the Ye family dug out a little bit of mud from under their fingernails, it would be enough for the sects and families to benefit endlessly.
Just as everyone was silent, an untimely voice rang out.
"Chief Li, this is the Ye family's territory! Shouldn't you greet us when you arrive at our territory?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice in surprise.
The one who spoke was Ye family's elder, Ye Ding, a Fourth-grade Pre-Emperor.
Ye Ding looked at the family chief coldly and said, "Chief Li, this is not a good habit. The Ye family has not been annihilated yet."
Chief Li frowned when he saw Ye Ding, "Even if it's not, it's going to be. The Ye family's fate has come to an end. Why don't you help us? In the future, I might even burn incense for you."
Ye Ding snorted coldly, "Aren't you being a little too certain with your words, Chief Li? The Ye family's chief will be able to kill Chief Yuwen and Chief Shentu immediately. We'll wait until the chief and the Supreme Grand Patriarch can free themselves. Shouldn't you be afraid already?"
A hint of fear flashed through Chief Li 's eyes as he looked at the Patriarch Li.
Patriarch Li nodded slightly, indicating for them to be at ease.
Seeing the patriarch nod, Chief Li said, "That's not necessarily the case. The Li family is also one of the top families. Why would I be afraid of you, which is at the end of its strength?"
"Chief Li, are you really going to be a robber now?" Ye Ding clenched his fists.
Instantly, Ye Ding's Fourth-grade Pre-Emperor cultivation erupted.
Chief Li didn't want to be outdone. He used his Fifth-grade Pre-Emperor cultivation to suppress Ye Ding.
The two of them were daggers drawn, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"A Fourth-grade Pre-Emperor? I'm afraid it's not enough," Chief Li said indifferently.
Ye Ding's eyes were bloodshot as he roared and charged at Chief Li.
"It's not up to you to decide whether it's enough or not, let's see who's stronger!"
…
In the sky above the Ye family, the patriarchs of the three families all used their secret techniques. They knew that they didn't have long to live, so they began to exchange injuries with each other, throwing their fists at their opponents furiously.
The Supreme Grand Patriarch punched out and said angrily, "Old Dog, what do you think of my punch?!"
He was furious as all the vital energy and blood in his body were activated.
Although the spirit energy of a Semi-Grand Emperor was almost exhausted, the qi of a Semi-Grand Emperor could not be faked!
The punch sent Patriarch Yuwen flying a thousand meters away.
Patriarch Yuwen steadied himself and said sarcastically, "Ye Zhen, is this all you're capable of? How dare you shout with such a light fist?"
Patriarch Yuwen didn't back down. He raised his fist and punched the Supreme Grand Patriarch's face.
Just as the Supreme Grand Patriarch was about to dodge, he suddenly realized that the Patriarch Shentu had appeared beside him.
Patriarch Shentu had cultivated his body to begin with, so when he punched out at the Supreme Grand Patriarch, the power was not inferior to that of a Semi-Grand Emperor.
The Supreme Grand Patriarch took the punch head-on. He was also sent flying but something ironic happened.
While he was sent flying by a punch from Patriarch Shentu, Patriarch Yuwen, who was attacking the Supreme Grand Patriarch, accidentally landed the hit on Patriarch Shentu.
Patriarch Shentu's expression was ferocious as he said, "Yuwen Huakong, I have long found you an eyesore! Eat my fist!"
He was extremely furious. Not only had he been tricked by Patriarch Yuwen into beating up the Ye family, but he was also being beaten up by this cheater.
No matter how foolish the Shentu family was, it was impossible for them to not retaliate at this point in time.
If he didn't fight back now, he wouldn't have the chance to beat Yuwen Huakong up in the future.
Cheaters really should be killed!
Patriarch Shentu quickly stabilized his body and punched Patriarch Yuwen's face.
"Are you crazy?! " Patriarch Yuwen shouted in pain.
Although he was angrily rebuking Patriarch Shentu, Patriarch Yuwen did not stop. In the blink of an eye, he threw another punch at Patriarch Shentu.
At this point, Patriarch Yuwen no longer cared about whether they were allies or not. He did not even care about the Great Dao Oath also.
Since there was still some time before the Great Dao Oath came into effect. By the time the Great Dao Oath gathered the divine lightning of retribution, he would have long died from using the secret technique.
Now that Patriarch Shentu had given him a punch, he had to return the favor!
Moreover, the three of them had already used their secret techniques.
They were not far from death.
Patriarch Shentu received another punch from Patriarch Yuwen and immediately retaliated.
The two of them were already in a killing frenzy.
The Supreme Grand Patriarch crawled up from the distance and arrived at the battlefield instantly. He joined the battle between the two.
Every punch hit the flesh, no matter who they saw, they would immediately punch them.
Two Semi-Grand Emperors and one peak Ninth-grade Pre-Emperor's battle didn't have any gaudy skills, and divine arts. There were only punches and plain attacks.
The three top cultivators were fighting as if they were mortals.
However, even though they were using their fists and legs, the battle aura of the three of them was still extremely grand!
Countless mountains and rivers were punched with holes.
With a single kick, a river was forcefully cut off!
Even without the support of spiritual energy, a Ninth-grade Pre-Emperor and two Semi-Grand Emperors possessed powers that could not be underestimated.
Each and every punch was terrifying.
