In terms of aura, the leading demonic beast was the most formidable. Its wings vibrated, and the space's airflow expanded instantly, followed by two slightly weaker ones.

On the backs of these seven huge demonic beasts, the leading one carried five figures, while the two behind each had twenty figures on their backs. The last four also had about twenty people each.

"My goodness, those are fifth-tier demonic beasts."

"And two fourth-tier and four third-tier ones."

"Who are these people? They seem to be heading towards our Qingyun Town."

In Qingyun Town, there were indeed some perceptive individuals who immediately sensed the levels of the demonic beasts from their spreading aura.

The seven demonic beasts pressed down through the air, and on the back of the leading massive beast, five figures looked ahead. Among these five, the aura of the middle-aged man in a yellow robe was the strongest.

"We'll arrive at the Li family soon." One of the five, a robust man on the left side with a slender body, said, his eyes sparkling with a sharp gleam.

"This time, let's ask the Li family directly for that treasure. There's no need to beat around the bush. In fact, we should have done this twenty years ago," said a middle-aged man in gray.

"Don't underestimate the Li family. If the treasure is really with the Li family, their strength shouldn't be what it seems, and your father wouldn't have asked you to pay attention to that old man of the Li family," the middle-aged man in the yellow robe said.

"Third Uncle, that old man of the Li family is rumored to only have the strength of a Martial General. Even if he's a ninth-tier Martial General, he shouldn't be your match," said the first middle-aged man on the right.

"Martial General? You're underestimating the Li family. If that old man really only had the strength of a Martial General, our Zhao family could have taken the treasure directly twenty years ago," the yellow-robed elder said.

"Third Uncle, you mean that old man of the Li family has reached the level of a Martial Commander?" asked a muscular man.

"That, I don't know. The Li family is probably not as simple as it appears on the surface. That old man must be hiding something," the yellow-robed elder said.

"No matter what, this time, we must get the treasure of the Li family. If the Li family can hand it over, that's fine. Otherwise, we will level the Li family to the ground," the man in the gray robe said coldly.

In Qingyun Town, within the Tianbao Gate, a figure watched the sky, a sharp gleam flashing in his eyes, muttering, "The Zhao family finally couldn't bear it anymore."

If Li Lin were here, he would recognize that this person was the Mr. Wu of the Tianbao Gate.

In the courtyard of the Li family's backyard, Uncle Jiang, old and feeble, suddenly had a faint sharp gleam flash in his eyes, then it disappeared, and he lightly shook his head, murmuring, "It's been over thirty years without moving. It seems the Li family can't stay here anymore."

In the Li family's courtyard, Li Lin and Yun Hongling were eating breakfast made by their mother when suddenly, Bai Ling's voice was heard, saying, "Many people are coming. There's a fifth-tier demonic beast, a Martial Commander, and three Martial Generals."

"So, they've finally come," Li Lin raised his eyebrows, expecting the Li family to be very lively today.

"Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!"

Soon after Bai Ling's voice fell, a series of urgent bell sounds echoed in the sky above the Li family. Suddenly, all the family members and servants changed their expressions drastically. They knew all too well that this bell would not ring unless the Li family was in danger.

"Quickly, gather!"

"Quick, all Li family members gather!"

Suddenly, the Li family was in chaos. The family members, servants, and disciples all quickly gathered together, their faces filled with surprise and panic.

"This is the Li family's emergency bell. A formidable enemy is coming." Hearing the bell, Mrs. Luo Lan's face changed dramatically, and everyone in the Li family knew what this bell meant, including her.

"Mother, don't worry. It's okay. Let's have breakfast first," Li Lin said to Luo Lan with a slight smile, showing no concern.

"Roar!"

Outside the Li family, a beastly roar sounded. Seven huge flying demonic beasts were already circling the giant square outside the Li family, their formidable aura pressing down and stirring up a large cloud of dust on the square.

"Creak..."

The Li family's gate opened, and immediately, hundreds of people rushed out. The leaders were Li family members, roughly around three hundred people, young and old, followed by a hundred male servants. There were no women and children among them, except for several dozen female family members who were also practitioners, not ordinary women and children.

But the appearance of these roughly four hundred people changed dramatically when they saw the seven huge demonic beasts in the sky, revealing expressions of shock.

"Ha ha..."

Outside the Li family, a man in a gray robe on the back of the leading demonic beast laughed heartily. His voice, mixed with true qi, pierced through the space like thunder, saying, "The in-laws are visiting, but the Li family's welcome is a bit too grand!"

"So, it's the in-laws visiting. I wondered who was coming to the Li family with such pomp. It's a bit rude of us," a voice mixed with true qi echoed in the space, though this voice was much weaker than the previous one.

As the voice fell, about twenty figures stepped out from inside the Li family's gate. The leader was Li Dong, followed by Li Xi, Li Wushuang, Mrs. Huang, Mrs. Chen, Zhao Hui, Li Shaohu, Li Mei, and next to Li Mei, a middle-aged man resembling Li Mei, her father, and Li Bei, an adopted son of the Li family. There were also several elders of the Li family, seven or eight in total, mostly at the eighth or ninth tier of Martial Master, with no Martial Spirits among them.

"Third Uncle, Big Brother, Second Brother," Zhao Hui smiled when she saw the figures on the flying demonic beasts above.

"Third Grandfather, First Uncle, Second Uncle," Li Shaohu also showed a hint of joy, then walked over with his mother.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

At this moment, everyone from the seven huge demonic beasts leaped down to the ground, the fluctuations of their aura revealing that they were about one hundred and twenty or thirty people in total. But this group's aura was much stronger than that of the Li family's four hundred people.

The Li family members were mostly Martial Masters, with very few at the first or second tier of Martial Master.

And the hundred male servants were even less significant, merely for show, as a single fifth-tier Martial Master could easily kill them all.

The strength of Li Dong and others at the forefront was also evident. Li Dong and Li Xi were at the Martial Spirit level, with only one at the second tier of Martial Spirit, two at the first tier, and the rest were at the eighth or ninth tier of Martial Master.

At this moment, among those who leaped down from the back of the flying beasts, the last eighty people were all at the Martial Master level, with over thirty at the Martial Soul level. Additionally, from their aura, there were also three Martial Generals, and the elder in the yellow robe at the front had already reached the Martial Commander level. There were also two fourth-order demonic beasts and one fifth-order demonic beast.

With such a comparison of strength, there was absolutely no comparability, the Li family was far too weak.

"Li Dong, the head of the Li family isn't you, right? Where is Li Zhong?" At this moment, seeing the people of the Li family coming out, the leading group of five people quickly scanned over the bodies of the Li family members. A man in a gray robe spoke.

"Mom, slow down." Just then, from within the gates of the Li family, several figures slowly emerged and stepped out in front of the eyes of hundreds of people, a man and a woman supporting a middle-aged beautiful woman, followed by a servant who seemed to be the steward of the Li family. Oddly, this steward-like servant was carrying four backrest chairs on his shoulder, enveloping his entire figure within them.

The man had an air of sinister charm, with a yellow snake demonic beast and a white mouse demonic beast on each shoulder, appearing bizarre and peculiar. The woman's exceedingly beautiful face exhibited an arrogant air. And the middle-aged beautiful woman was holding a small blue rabbit in her arms, palm-sized, looking extremely well-behaved.

At this moment, however, what people didn't see was that on the roof of a courtyard within the Li family, several small demonic beasts had silently appeared, their bodies' auras completely concealed, without the slightest leakage.

Seeing these individuals emerge, everyone couldn't help but take an extra glance.

At this moment, these individuals were none other than Li Lin, Yun Hongling, Li Xiaobai, and Luo Lan, a group of four.

"Excuse me." Li Lin shouted in the crowd, not minding the people around him, and directly made his way through the ranks of the Li family's descendants, finally arriving at a corner. He looked around and then said to Li Xiaobai, "Xiaobai, put down the chairs."

"Yes, young master." Li Xiaobai then placed the chairs at the spot designated by Li Lin, arranging four backrest chairs side by side.

"Mom, please sit, let's enjoy the show." Li Lin said with a smile to Luo Lan, then helped Luo Lan to the middle chair.

At this moment, Luo Lan did not refuse, because she was shocked and staring at the seven huge demonic beasts in the sky, having never seen such gigantic beasts, she was immediately amazed and lost in thought.

Yun Hongling directly sat next to Luo Lan, and the people around didn't even spare them another glance.

"Wushuang, come over and enjoy the show." Standing firm, Li Lin's gaze swiftly swept across the scene, and finally, with a raised eyebrow, he revealed a hint of a smile and said to Li Wushuang, who was standing next to Li Dong.
