If someone had told them in advance that a peak Spirit Condensation Realm expert couldn't withstand a single move from Li Xiaoyao's hand, no one would have believed it.

Especially given that this expert was an Elder of the ancient Rakshasa Sect, such an event carried an air of fancifulness when spoken aloud.

It's like being told that an elephant in the Amazon forest was trampled to death by ants.

Eerie, isn't it?

Such an occurrence wouldn't be believed by anyone unless it happened right before their eyes.

Yet, that very thing happened right in front of them, unprecedentedly real.

The warmth had not yet left Huang Yi's body, his eyes wide with indignation, fear, and disbelief, showing that he too couldn't believe it.

Huang Yi's disciples stood stupefied in front of the Li Family gate, where they had actually entertained the idea of blocking the entrance. It wasn't until Li Xiaoyao's indifferent gaze swept over that they finally gulped and realized, the roles of hunter and prey had quietly switched.

The disciples turned to run, deservedly so as disciples of an Ancient Sect, even their escape was disciplined, all running in the same direction.

Li Xiaoyao doubted their intelligence for a moment, couldn't they see that in such circumstances, it was wiser to scatter?

"Buzz~"

With a flick of his fingers, the Seven Star Ancient Sword streaked a white line through the air, piercing the chest of the disciple at the back of the pack, then, like threading beads on a string, it continued without slowing, claiming the lives of the twelfth disciple before hovering in mid-air.

Blood slid along the blade, gathering at the tip, falling drop by drop.

The sole remaining disciple trembled all over, not daring to move. His legs shook uncontrollably, and his trousers were wet, the stench of urine carried away by the wind.

"Get lost, go back and tell the Rakshasa Sect to clean their necks and wait for me to come and kill them!" His voice was faint, devoid of human emotion, yet to the surviving disciple, it sounded like the most beautiful music.

"Yes, yes, yes." The disciple nodded frantically, stumbled as he started to flee, fell to the ground, and scrambled away with hands and feet, quickly making his escape.

They had come arrogantly, leaving behind thirteen lives and one person fled in utter humiliation.

This news wouldn't take long to spread like a hurricane, and soon people would know that the Rakshasa Sect, which had sought out the Li Family of Xuan Country, met with a humiliating defeat.

The Rakshasa Sect would not let things rest, but there would be a delay, enough time for Li Xiaoyao to grow stronger.

He must familiarize himself with the Trapped Sky Finger as quickly as possible. Today was just a stroke of luck, forcibly using it at the last moment. Otherwise, had the backlash been a bit stronger, there might be no Li Xiaoyao left.

Li Xiaoyao's face was somewhat pale, he poured Spirit Revitalizing Pills into his mouth like they were free, his complexion regained a touch of rosiness as he walked towards the body of Huang Yi.

With one sword stroke, he split open Huang Yi's Dantian, and a golden, richly spiritual Golden Core leaped out, clenched in Li Xiaoyao's hand.

Turning back towards Li Pingshuang and others, he handed the Golden Core to Li Chengfeng, "Refine this Golden Core, it should make you stronger."

Although he had seen Li Xiaoyao kill a Spirit Condensation Realm expert in the Secret Realm, Li Chengfeng was still shocked to witness it again.

Since when had Spirit Condensation Realm experts become so worthless?

"You keep it, if you are strong, then the Li Family can be stronger," refused Li Chengfeng.

Li Xiaoyao stuffed the Golden Core into his hand, also took out the Golden Core of the Spirit Condensation Realm expert killed in the Secret Realm, and handed it to Li Yiming, saying, "I have the Wooden Core of the Spirit of Plants and Trees, you refine these. It's not enough to have only me strong in the Li Family, the stronger you are, the more prosperous the Li Family will be."

The two no longer refused and stored the Golden Cores in their Storage Rings.

Li Pingshuang said, "Come with me."

Li Xiaoyao and Li Chengfeng's return was most certainly a surprise, the formidable strength Li Xiaoyao had shown was the icing on the cake.

It had been a long time since the Li Family produced a genius like Li Changfeng who emerged a hundred years ago.

Li Xiaoyao was undoubtedly a huge surprise for the Li Family.

Li Pingshuang seemed to see the future rise of the Li Family; as for the hardships once endured, Li Pingshuang did not feel bitter or angry.

The rise of any major family necessarily has to go through these fluctuations.

Having a smooth path isn't favorable; it's the ups and downs that make people cherish the present and strive tirelessly to maintain it.

Li Xiaoyao left with a few others, and before leaving, Li Yiming waved his sleeve, "Everyone, disperse."

Li Pengcheng watched their departing figures, clenching his teeth tightly, his eyes full of defiance.

Why does he always steal the spotlight in front of the family members? Why, being born from the same father, do I have to be inferior? Why does he, a wanderer for twenty-eight years, possess a higher cultivation talent than me?

Why does good fortune seem to favor him exclusively, while I can only passively accept things as they unfold?

Xie Nan read something in his eyes and patted his arm, "Don't mind it, the position of the Family Head will eventually be yours, and nobody can snatch it away."

"If he wants it, dad will definitely give it to him."

"If he doesn't want something and gives it to me as charity, I don't want it either."

Li Pengcheng flicked his sleeve forcefully, a determined look crossing his face, "If he cultivates for ten hours a day, I will cultivate for twenty hours, there will come a day when I will surpass him!"

Xie Nan was worried yet reassured at the same time, but since it was his decision, as a parent, the best they could do was to support him fully.

Confidence is always the most important, at any time.

"Mom believes in you, you can definitely do it."

"Mhm," Li Pengcheng nodded vigorously, clenching his fists, "One day, I will surpass him!"

...

In the Council Hall, only a few of them were present.

Li Pingshuang was like the head of a non-normal scientific research institute, wishing he could cut Li Xiaoyao into slices and examine him under a microscope.

"What's your secret in cultivation? How long has it been? Less than three months, and you've managed to kill someone in the Spirit Condensation Realm?" Li Pingshuang stared into his eyes as he asked.

Li Xiaoyao grinned, "Just lucky."

"Just lucky?" Li Pingshuang clearly did not believe it, asking, "What exactly is your cultivation level now?"

"Peak of the Golden Core Realm," Li Xiaoyao thought for a moment then added, "If nothing goes wrong, I should be able to break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm in the next couple of days."

"Peak of the Golden Core Realm!"

Although they had guessed something from the strength Li Xiaoyao had shown, they were still shocked to hear him say it.

"You kid, why does it feel like cultivation is as easy as child's play when it comes to you? You seem to break through just by letting one rip."

The others chuckled wryly and self-deprecatingly, "Can't compare at all, comparing with you, it's enough to kill someone from frustration."

"We've been cultivating for decades, and to reach this realm we're at now has been as difficult as ascending to the heavens. But for you, breakthroughs seem like child's play."

Li Xiaoyao scratched his head and smiled, "Actually, it's not as easy as you guys make it sound. It's been months, and I've only broken through from the fourth rank of the Golden Core Realm to the peak. That's already very slow."

Hearing this, everyone's faces turned red with restraint as they cursed in unison, "Get lost!"
