Huo Dongjie was on his way to the yacht when he received the phone call, which made him feel incredulous.

The reputation of the "Four Young Masters" was indeed an exaggeration.

But even if it was an overstatement, the cultivation level of these four young men was truly not low; there were very few of their peers who could beat them.

However, from the account given over the phone by the Third Young Master Huo, the young man who dared to cause trouble at the Huo family's annual meeting seemed to possess a cultivation level much higher than the Four Young Masters; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to kill them off with such ease with a single sword strike.

Looking out the car window, Huo Dongjie pondered for a moment, "Who on earth is this person?"

After a few seconds of silence, Huo Dongjie dialed a number.

...

Today, the yacht, which should have been bustling, had become deathly still due to Li Xiaoyao's arrival.

In the first-floor lobby, the guests didn't dare to make a sound, fearing that even the slightest noise would displease Li Xiaoyao and lead him to kill them.

Li Xiaoyao checked his phone and said, "Fifteen minutes left."

At his words, Huo QD and the Third Young Master Huo both shuddered violently.

The lobby was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; no one dared to speak.

In such an atmosphere, Lisa's footsteps became particularly noticeable.

Wearing stiletto heels and draped in a suit, Lisa's slightly contradictory attire nonetheless added to her charm. She walked up to Li Xiaoyao, raised her eyebrows at him, and whispered, "Hey, quit while you're ahead. The Huo family is powerful. By the time their people arrive, it might be too late for you to leave."

Li Xiaoyao winked at her, saying, "I have some personal scores to settle with the Huo family today; I'll take care of it all at once."

Lisa rolled her eyes, thinking, "A myriad of curse words rushed through her mind. You have a grudge with the Huo family? Who are you, and who is the Huo family? Obviously, they're not on the same level at all."

Before she could ask, Li Xiaoyao had already beckoned to the Third Young Master Huo, "You, come here."

Hiding behind Huo QD, the Third Young Master Huo, with a trembling and stuttering voice, said, "Me?"

Li Xiaoyao smiled and replied, "Yes, you. Come here."

The Third Young Master Huo clutched his elder brother's arm tightly, making a face as if he were about to cry, "Second brother, save me, save me."

Huo QD was angry inside; with the Huo family's power and status in Zhu Island City, no one had ever dared to be as brazen as Li Xiaoyao. But at that moment, the latter could kill him on a whim.

Huo QD was not a hothead, and in such a situation, being able to protect himself was already quite an achievement. His anger was directed at Li Xiaoyao's attitude; as for whether the Third Young Master Huo lived or died, he really didn't care.

Within large families, familial affection was often thin. If in the end only one of them could survive, Huo QD would not hesitate for a moment to kill the Third Young Master Huo.

"Third brother, don't be afraid, he wouldn't dare to do anything to you," Huo QD stated firmly in front of others, patting the Third Young Master Huo's shoulder and trying to give him confidence while keeping up appearances.

A chill went through the Third Young Master Huo's heart; he knew his second brother intended to save himself without regard for his own life or death.

With a sorrowful heart, the Third Young Master Huo walked towards Li Xiaoyao in despair.

Li Xiaoyao raised a finger and touched him, leading the Third Young Master Huo to think he was about to die. The next moment, his body stiffened as he fell backwards, yet he remained conscious.

"I'm not dead?" the Third Young Master Huo thought to himself in surprise as he lay on the ground.

He then heard Li Xiaoyao's voice near his ear.

"How are you going to take him back?"

Lisa gave him a look and said, "Seeing things through to the end; do you expect me to carry him back on my shoulders?"

Li Xiaoyao shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you want me to deliver it, you'll have to wait. I still have some matters to resolve."

"I have all the time in the world." Lisa turned and sat back in front of the piano with an elegant motion, her two long legs lightly crossed over one another.

Huo QD stood at the doorstep, the blood from the corpses on the ground already dried, the faces of the deceased fixed forever in expressions of terror.

He wanted to turn and flee, convinced he could escape if the other party was merely a vicious and evil pirate. But facing an inscrutable cultivator, he believed that any sign of an escape attempt would lead to his brutal murder by the most ruthless of means.

"Thud, thud, thud..."

The sound of heavy footsteps came from outside, causing Huo QD to reflexively turn his head.

The arrival was a man in his forties, dressed in a moon-white, splendid robe with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, bearing a certain resemblance to Huo QD between his brows.

A sudden burst of hopeful radiance exploded in Huo QD's eyes as he joyously shouted, "Dad!"

The newcomer was indeed Huo Dongjie, the second son of the Huo Family and a powerful cultivator in his own right.

The primary reason the Huo Family had been able to stand tall in Zhu Island City for so many years was that the family itself boasted a number of cultivators.

From the Family Head Huo Yingfei to the second generation Huo Dongjie, Huo Dongjun, and Huo Dongcheng, all were cultivators.

Yet this exceptional cultivation talent seemed to dwindle by the third generation, with only the eldest son Huo Qibin possessing the aptitude for cultivation.

Even so, the terrifying count of five cultivators spread across three generations of the Huo Family was enough to make them the envy of most families in Zhu Island City.

Among the three brothers, Huo Dongjie's cultivation level ranked third. Nevertheless, he possessed the cultivation rank of the Third Rank in the Spirit Cultivation Realm.

Such a level, even among the families and sects on the mainland, was considered strong.

Huo Dongjie entered the hall, glanced at Huo QD, saw he was unharmed, and finally let his tense nerves slightly relax.

"What happened?" Huo Dongjie inquired.

Huo QD quickly summarized the situation in a few words before pointing at Li Xiaoyao and saying, "It was him."

Huo Dongjie's dark eyes filled with endless murderous intent as he said, "I've already notified your elder uncle, third uncle, and the leaders of the Four Factions. No matter who this kid is, he won't leave here alive today."

Huo QD was overjoyed. His father was very strategic in everything he did. Even though he was confident he could handle Li Xiaoyao on his own, he still notified the sects behind the four masters.

After all, a young cultivator couldn't possibly be alone; nobody knew whether he had the backing of a powerful sect.

In such a situation, the more allies one could muster, the better.

"The Huo Family has never had any grievances with any sects, who are you, exactly? And why are you causing such a disturbance at the Huo Family annual gathering?" Huo Dongjie questioned, enunciating every word.

Li Xiaoyao let out a cold laugh and said, "You don't need to know who I am. I've come today to find a person. Hand her over, and I might still spare the Huo Family."

"This guy is crazy, that's Huo Dongjie, the second master of the Huo Family. They say his cultivation is on par with a grandmaster!"

"Indeed, among the three Huo lords, even the sect leaders of the Feng Shui powerhouses in Zhu Island City show great respect."

"This youngster truly believes that with his cultivation, he doesn't have to take anyone seriously."

These average cultivators whispered among themselves. Suddenly, one spoke with a tone of doubt, "Do you guys have the feeling that this young man looks somewhat familiar?"

"Hey, now that Brother Huang mentions it, I also feel that this young man does indeed look a bit familiar."
