"Scum of the Li Family, come out and accept your death!"
"Scum of the Li Family, you have secretly abducted and murdered many young girls. Your crimes are monstrous and unforgivable. Come out and accept your death. We will enforce justice on behalf of the heavens and kill you all."
Loud voices of condemnation rang out from the mouths of the various family heads. Their voices were accompanied by their cultivation, and the sound waves spread throughout the entire city. Almost everyone in the city could hear them clearly, and everyone came out to watch.
Many people in the city let out hateful cries, criticizing the Li Family for their sins.
"Li Family, these damned animals. They said they would hire my granddaughter as a maid, but now, a month has passed and there is no news at all. I dream of my granddaughter being murdered every night, but the Li Family does not care about it at all. They did not even give me an explanation. What am I supposed to do? My poor granddaughter."
"Li Family scum, everyone has the right to kill them. They snatched my beloved daughter in front of me and even crippled me. I beg but no one will come."
"Li Family scum, f * ck them. Even if I am only a martial artist, I am still willing to lend a hand."
Following the cries of the crowd, many people with cultivation also joined in the fray.
Xiao Yang, Gu Shanhe, Chen Zhifu, and the others could not help but smile when they saw this. Wasn't this the perfect time to unite the will of the people?
The Li Family had angered the heavens and the people, and the people were already dissatisfied with them. Xiao Yang was like the person who lit the fuse, intensifying their conflict.
"Who dares to be impudent in my Li Family? Are you courting death? "
A middle-aged man flew out from the Li Family mansion. He was probably a high ranking steward of the Li Family.
After he came out, he realized that there were so many people around him. His heart tightened and his scalp went numb. Almost all the big and small families in the city were here. Just how much hatred did the Li Family have?
"Zhao Family Head, Qian Family Head, Sun Family Head, Lin Family Head, Ye Family Head, if you don't give me an explanation today, don't even think about leaving this place."
The steward of the Li Family shouted at the family heads with a cold face.
The Li family was the overlord of Flame City, a lofty giant that no one dared to provoke. Whoever dared to touch their whiskers was the same as provoking the tiger's might.
"Explanation? Your Li Clan should give us an explanation first. Our clan's women have been abducted by your Li Clan. Furthermore, many young girls have gone missing from the commoners in the cities and towns. It was all done by your Li Clan. What is your Li Clan trying to do? Just because your family is powerful, you think you can do whatever you want and be lawless? "
The Zhao Family's Patriarch didn't show any fear, and he roared righteously at the other party.
This represented the thoughts of many people behind him.
The steward of the Li family couldn't help but feel his heart sink. Of course he knew about the huge matter that had happened in the family. He also knew that if this matter was too big, it would explode sooner or later. He just hadn't expected it to explode so quickly.
The situation was a little bad now, and he didn't know how to deal with it.
"Slander, this is slander. The Li Clan is a grand family. How could they do something like abducting young girls? I think you all have evil intentions. You've already colluded with each other to touch my Li Clan. Let me tell you, don't even think about it."
The steward of the Li Clan retorted with a red face. If he hadn't personally seen his own clan's women return, he would've been deceived by him.
However, no matter how he retorted, it was useless. Basically, all the big and small clans in the city had come. Almost all the commoners in the city were condemning them. Their Li Clan had to be exterminated.
Lan Jiaoye's face turned red from the other party's shameless words. She clenched her fists and couldn't bear it anymore. "The young girls that were imprisoned in the underground prison of your Bamboo Forest Courtyard were all rescued by us. Wouldn't we know once we go back and take a look? Is there a need to quibble here?"
The steward of the Li Clan's expression kept changing. It should be known that the location of the underground prison was unknown even to the ordinary Li Clan members. How did Lan Jiaoye, a mere outsider, know about it? She must've gone in or asked around.
"Hmph, just you wait. If you dare to deceive me, I'll definitely tear you to pieces."
After the steward of the Li Clan left his ruthless words, he immediately returned to the Li Clan's residence.
At this moment, the Li Clan's residence was in chaos.
Their high ranking steward was roaring in the hall and slamming the table.
The Patriarch of the Li Clan, who was sitting on the high seat, roared, "Who did this? They actually released all the captives. They were used by the Blood Ancestor for his breakthrough. As long as the Blood Ancestor breaks through to the sixth level of the Martial Ancestor Realm, our Li Clan will be on equal footing with the three great clans. Our future development will be limitless. However, someone interfered and disrupted our Li Clan's plans. Find out who it is. I want him to suffer a fate worse than death. "
The Great Elder of the Li Clan coldly snorted. "Isn't this all because of your connivance with Li Hongwei? Who gave Li Hongwei such power? Even we can't meet the Blood Ancestor, but Li Hongwei, the leader of the outsiders, has the right. "
The matter had been investigated long ago. It was completely Li Hongwei who cooperated with Xiao Yang and the others to rescue the prey in the prison.
Li Hongwei's status in the Li Clan was very high, comparable to the elders. Moreover, he controlled the Li Clan's trump card elites, almost 50% of the Li Clan's battle strength. The black-clothed team under his command had more than ten Martial Ancestor Realm experts, among which there was no lack of third level Martial Ancestor Realm experts.
Now that Li Hongwei had betrayed them, even the black-clothed guards had disappeared without a trace. To the Li Clan, it was a great loss and also one disaster after another.
If the black-clothed guards were still there, those ants outside would not dare to provoke the Li Clan's supreme dignity.
Seeing that they were shirking responsibility and falling into a dispute, the Second Elder immediately stood up and interrupted. "The cause of this matter is basically known. Now is not the time to find out who is responsible. Let's deal with the people outside the Li Clan's residence."
The Patriarch of the Li Clan's face could not help but darken. Although the outsider's battle strength was not enough to be feared, there were many of them. Moreover, the Li Clan was not at its peak now. It was really worrying.
"What else can we do? Split half of our forces to protect the secret room in the underground prison. The Blood Ancestor's breakthrough is not to be disturbed. " The Patriarch of the Li Clan said without hesitation. Then, he continued, "The remaining forces will follow me out to fight. Block all non-Li Clan people outside the Li Clan's residence."
He slowly stood up and prepared to take action. "Let's see if we can contact other helpers, even if we have to pay a price. Also, let's see if we can instigate those ants outside. Their numbers are a problem after all."
"Yes!"
The many elders and senior stewards in the hall hurriedly responded respectfully. Then, they stood up solemnly and prepared to fight.
