A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 382

Chapter 382: The Two Families’ Anger and Fear

“What! Yi Zifeng has actually fallen!”

Almost the moment Yi Zifeng perished, Yi Xiaoji stood up from his position as Family Head, his face filled with shock and fury. He hadn’t expected that even after sending out a powerhouse of Yi Zifeng’s caliber, the outcome would still be his death.

From the instant Yi Zifeng fell, it seemed he was killed instantly.

Who could have possibly defeated Yi Zifeng with a single strike? Aside from a God King-level cultivator, Yi Xiaoji couldn’t think of anyone else.

“Family Head, could it be that the Li Family actually made a move against us, the Yi Clan?”

“Yes, Family Head, who else would dare attack someone from our Yi Clan besides the Li Family?”

“In my opinion, it’s likely the Li Family behind this. After all, Li Yuping’s talent is roughly on par with our Young Master. If Emperor Jingrang hadn’t refused to take in female disciples, Li Yuping might have become his disciple as well. The Li Family probably couldn’t bear to lose Li Yuping’s talent and, upon seeing her, couldn’t help but strike to protect her.”

Hearing the Elders’ words, Yi Xiaoji’s expression grew even darker. Clearly, he hadn’t expected the Li Family to have the audacity to attack someone from his Yi Clan.

His anger had just flared up, but now, calming down and thinking it through, he realized it wasn’t impossible. His own son had only just advanced to the rank of Earth God slightly earlier than Li Yuping, yet he was thousands of years older than her. Perhaps the Li Family’s earlier decision to expel Li Yuping was just a smokescreen to protect her. In reality, Li Yuping was still within the Li Family.With this thought, Yi Xiaoji’s inner rage intensified, and the next moment he spoke angrily.

“Relay my orders: all Heavenly God-level and above cultivators in the Yi Clan, assemble. Our target— the Li Family!”

“Yes, Family Head!”

At Yi Xiaoji’s command, the senior members of the Yi Clan became excited. If they went to war with the Li Family, the Yi Clan would definitely gain a great deal.

Of course, this was all under the assumption of victory, but they didn’t think the Yi Clan could lose. After all, they still possessed the techniques passed down from Senior Jingrang. The Li Family was merely a minor obstacle easily subdued.

At the same time, within the Li Family, just like Yi Xiaoji, Li Taiping immediately sensed the news of Li Changqing’s death and grew troubled.

“Family Head, what should we do now?”

The Great Elder of the Li Family approached Li Taiping with a grim expression and said,

“Li Changqing has actually fallen. There are only two possibilities: either Li Yuping was responsible, or it was the Yi Clan.

If it’s the former, then we don’t need to fear so much— after all, Li Yuping is one of our own, and no matter what, she wouldn’t seek to wipe out the Li Family entirely. But if it’s the latter, then it likely means the Yi Clan is preparing to go to war against us.”Heavenly God Realm cultivators, whether in the Li Family or the Yi Clan, were considered top-tier powerhouses. For the Yi Clan to dare to strike decisively against the Li Family’s elite was a clear signal that all-out war was imminent.

“Alright, get ready. Let the Second Elder lead the cultivators below the Heavenly God Realm to leave first. They should only return when I give the order. This kind of situation is definitely not good news for the Li Family right now.”

“Yes, Family Head.”

The Great Elder nodded and promptly issued the command.

The response was swift. Within just half an hour, all Li Family cultivators beneath the Heavenly God Realm had been gathered. When Li Taiping told them they might have to leave their homeland from now on, complex emotions immediately showed on everyone’s faces.

At that moment, a voice rose from among the clanspeople.

“Family Head, do you think the Domain Lord will just stand by and watch our Li Family be wiped out?”

Like a single stone stirring a thousand waves, more voices broke out in agreement, their tones filled with trust in the Domain Lord.

“That’s right, Family Head. We are residents of the Jingran Domain, and we pay the Divine Source tribute annually. The Domain Lord wouldn’t just stand idly by, would he?”

“Could the Yi Clan really dare to show such disrespect to the Domain Lord?”“Family Head, I think you’re making a mountain out of a molehill.”

Hearing this, Li Taiping didn’t respond but spoke directly.

“Second Elder, take them and leave. Wait for my signal. Only return when I tell you to. If you can’t come back, then find a place within the domain where the Yi Clan can’t reach you and settle down there. Along the way, if anyone disobeys the Second Elder, they’ll be expelled from the Li Family.”

There was an unmistakable tone of command in Li Taiping’s voice that brooked no opposition. The clanspeople present fell silent.

The Second Elder stepped forward, looking serious as he bowed and assured Li Taiping, “Family Head, rest assured. Unless I, Li Tianyu, fall, no harm will come to the family.”

“Hm, I trust you. Go.”

Li Taiping sighed deeply, his voice heavy with desolation. Seeing this, Li Tianyu knew there was no time to hesitate. With a sweep of his hand, he absorbed the family members below the Heavenly God Realm into his body and then quickly set off in the opposite direction from the Yi Clan.

After Li Tianyu and the Li Family members had all left, the Great Elder approached Li Taiping, sounding hesitant as he asked, “Family Head, could it be that the Domain Lord will really just watch our Li Family be wiped out?””Sigh, you don’t understand. Even though the Domain Lord is a God Emperor, the gap between him and Emperor Jingrang is huge. Do you think Emperor Jingrang is more important in the Domain Lord’s eyes, or is our Li Family? The Domain Lord definitely won’t intervene in the war between our Li Family and the Yi Clan. It’s far more likely that he’ll step in when the Yi Clan needs help. All this is because our Li Family has no backing.”

As Li Taiping spoke the latter part, his tone was filled with unrelenting desolation. For the sake of the Li Family, he would do anything—even face death without flinching. Even Li Yuping, this God Emperor seedling, could be abandoned without hesitation.

After all, only a God Emperor who truly grows can be called a God Emperor. Those who fail to grow are as good as dead.

Upon hearing this, the Great Elder couldn’t help but sigh, a deep unease stirring in his heart—like something serious was about to happen.

At the same time, within the Domain Lord’s Realm, the Domain Lord was watching in the direction of the Li Family. Beside him, the Deputy Domain Lord hesitated before asking,

“Domain Lord, are we really not going to intervene in the war between the Yi Clan and the Li Family? If we open that precedent, it might become difficult to assert our authority in the future.”

Hearing this, the Domain Lord of the Jingran Domain, Divine Emperor Wanjing, showed an indifferent expression, his tone cold.

“No need. Compared to Emperor Jingrang, the Li Family is nothing. When necessary, we will support the Yi Clan to ensure they aren’t no match for the Li Family.”

“Sigh, understood.”

The Deputy Domain Lord nodded in agreement. As a God King at the peak stage, he could not interfere with the Domain Lord’s decisions.

At that moment, Divine Emperor Wanjing suddenly recalled something and turned his gaze toward the Xuelang World. He said, “Have we identified the powerful figure who attacked Li Changqing and Yi Zifeng in the Xuelang World?”

“Not yet. I plan to seek them out to gather some information. If they prove to be weaker than me, I will personally deal with them,” the Deputy Domain Lord replied.

He shook his head with a grave expression and said, “Yes, handle things cleanly. Try to maintain good relations with the Yi Clan. One day, you will understand just how great the Yi Clan will become.”

“Understood, Domain Lord.”
