Korr was dead, his skull shattered by a palm strike from the Lion King.

The body was tossed into the sea; the Lion King turned to leave, saying, "Mr. Li, after this matter concludes, you must visit Yun Country, where I will receive you with the highest standard of ceremony."

"Certainly, I'll visit," Li Xiaoyao smiled in response, thinking given the Lion King's cultivation level, his status in the Northern Alliance wouldn't be too modest, particularly since he mentioned having a mentor above him.

The King of the Underworld of the Northern Alliance, possessing the title of the Northern Alliance, was probably no ordinary character.

"Then it's settled," the Lion King smiled, "I won't disturb you further, I'll take my leave now."

As the Lion King departed, he felt rather pleased; befriending Li Xiaoyao was his intention, but showing up at the door to express goodwill would have been too abrupt. Korr's incident had indeed been unexpected, but it inadvertently served as a lubricant for the Lion King's aims.

"What's the background of that big guy?" Li Tinghai approached and inquired.

Li Xiaoyao casually replied, "Lion King Solomon, ever heard of him?"

"Lion King Solomon!" Li Tinghai appeared slightly surprised.

Li Xiaoyao asked, "Is he famous?"

Li Tinghai nodded, "He does have a reputation, but his cultivation level is merely at the Golden Core Realm, not worth mentioning."

If an outsider had been there to hear Li Tinghai's words, they might think him arrogant.

A venerable figure of the Golden Core Realm, in his eyes, was trivial.

It couldn't be helped; they were not on the same level and couldn't see eye to eye.

Li Xiaoyao agreed wholeheartedly, saying, "Indeed, not worth mentioning."

"However..." Li Tinghai played coy, "His mentor is quite the influential figure."

"His mentor? I remember, he said he was a disciple under the King of the Underworld of the Northern Alliance," Li Xiaoyao asked, "Is this King of the Underworld very powerful?"

"I recall, over a decade ago, the King of the Northern Underworld was already an A-grade Spirit Attacher," Li Tinghai mused, "So many years have passed, his cultivation level must have grown even stronger, but whether he broke through to S-grade is unknown. Moreover, he hasn't indulged in seeking challenges everywhere as before but has settled into tranquility."

Li Xiaoyao was silent, always feeling the strong came from Xuan Country, yet now he saw, in Hui Country and other nations, there were quite a few formidable ones as well.

Take this King of the Northern Underworld, for instance; over ten years ago, he was already at A-grade, which is the Spirit Condensation Realm. In those intervening years, his cultivation level surely grew, and he might, with some luck, have broken through Spirit Condensation to reach the Nascent Soul Realm.

All of these, were possibilities.

Suddenly, Li Xiaoyao remembered something and hastily inquired, "The Rakshasa Sect, what is the highest cultivation level of their strongest?"

Li Tinghai fell silent for a moment, "Although the Rakshasa Sect is strong, it is not the strongest among ancient sects. There should be one or two cultivators at the Nascent Soul Realm. And also..."

The first half of the sentence slightly eased Li Xiaoyao's mind, but following Li Tinghai's 'but,' Li Xiaoyao's heart was once again lifted.

"And also what?"

Li Tinghai said, "If I remember correctly, it seems the Rakshasa Sect has a Divine Beast protecting the sect, which is also at the Nascent Soul Realm."

Li Xiaoyao could scarcely fathom, how powerful was a Divine Beast at the Nascent Soul Realm?

People of the same level and demon beasts, when compared in terms of overall combat ability, are not as strong as the demon beasts.

Demon beasts possess enviable, powerful physiques, and those that can cultivate to the Nascent Soul realm often have one or two Divine Skills. If a demon beast has ancient bloodline, when their cultivation level reaches a certain realm, the bloodline within them will awaken, bestowing upon them even stronger Divine Skills.

For Li Xiaoyao, as well as for the entire Li Family, this was not good news.

Li Tinghai seemed to notice his worries and, patting him on the shoulder, said, "Don't think too much. Even though the Rakshasa Sect is strong, our Li Family is not weak. Even if they really have the gall to attack the Li Family, it doesn't necessarily mean they can leave unscathed."

Li Xiaoyao didn't understand why Li Tinghai was so confident, but Li Tinghai seemed to see his puzzlement, smiled, and said, "Because the Li Family also has Nascent Soul realm powerhouses."

"The Li Family also has!" Li Xiaoyao was suddenly shocked; he had been unaware that the Li Family had Nascent Soul realm powerhouses.

Because neither Li Yunchen nor Li Tinghai could hide their cultivation levels from him, he could tell that at most, they were at the Spirit Condensation realm and had not reached the Nascent Soul realm.

Could it be that there were others in the Li Family who were even stronger?

The cultivators below suddenly became agitated, and Li Xiaoyao faintly heard some exclamations.

"What's the situation?"

Li Yunchen and a few people from the Nangong Family, hearing the commotion, quickly walked over and looked in the direction of the noise. It turned out that a fishing boat had docked at some point, and about a dozen people from Xuan Country had disembarked from the boat.

After these people appeared, the cultivators on the island couldn't stop exclaiming.

Li Yunchen squinted his eyes, gazing into the distance, and after seeing clearly, said in a low voice, "It's the Rakshasa Sect!"

"They really did come, after all," Nangong Yan sighed softly.

Li Yunchen said, "Elder Nangong, please go down."

Nangong Yan, startled by the words, then understood his meaning and frowned, "Elder Li, we are allies. Although the Rakshasa Sect is powerful, the Nangong Family is not weak. How could we abandon our comrades out of fear of offending the Rakshasa Sect? We, the Nangong Family, will share this burden. If they wish to fight, then we shall fight!"

Nangong Yan didn't hesitate to speak these words, deeply believing in Li Xiaoyao's potential.

It's easy for anyone to add flowers to a brocade, but only true sincerity is shown when one sends charcoal in snowy weather.

Nangong Yan believed that the Nangong Family's current sacrifices and their willingness to face danger would one day be reciprocated by the Li Family in an extremely generous way.

Xia Li emerged from behind a rock and quickly walked up to an elderly man with white hair dressed in a simple robe, saying, "Master!"

The elder frowned, "What's the hurry?"

When at the Rakshasa Sect, Xia Li was known for her cold beauty and never panicked. Even when sparring with disciples who had greater cultivation levels than her, she was able to meticulously plan her strategies.

The elder truly saw her flustered like this for the first time.

Xia Li's nose twitched as she suppressed the fear in her heart, almost subconsciously looked back, and saw Li Xiaoyao standing on higher ground, watching coldly towards this side. Despite being hundreds of meters away, she could almost feel the superiority in Li Xiaoyao's eyes that regarded all beings as lesser.

"Chen Feng... is dead," Xia Li said with a trembling voice.

"What!" The elder's white eyebrows shot up, and a powerful aura surged and released from within him, "With his cultivation level, how could he possibly die here? How did he die?"

Xia Li immediately recounted what had happened outside of the secret realm, and after listening, the elder roared in anger, his voice thunderous, "Where are the Li Family? Come out and face your death!"
