The group of black-robed men in front of them were extremely fast. They didn't stop at all. Like arrows in the rain, they flew directly towards the patrolling guards of the Qi Family.
Their goal was very obvious. They wanted to quickly get rid of the patrolling guards around the Qi Family, so they had to be fast. Some of them even passed by the tree that Xiao Lingyu was on, but they did not notice Xiao Lingyu's presence.
It was as if the heavens were angry. The wind blew the grass and trees askew, and the heavy rain caused the ground to puddle. There were even bolts of lightning snaking out, temporarily lighting up the ground.
Xiao Lingyu gently pulled a leaf aside and happened to see a patrolling guard of the Qi Family being pierced through the chest by a sharp sword. Then, his body was shredded into pieces.
"Looks like they're going to be serious!" Xiao Lingyu's mood also became nervous.
Even with the cover of the heavy rain, strong wind, and dark night, the patrolling guards of the Qi Family still managed to send out the alarm. The Qi Family's courtyard, which was originally as dark as night, was suddenly brightly lit. On the tall and thick courtyard walls, there were many figures.
Xiao Lingyu also changed into a black outfit and jumped down from the tree.
It was not that he was impatient, but that there was a large group of cultivators in neat rows, braving the heavy rain and strong wind, coming through the night.
This large group of cultivators did not move very quickly, but they were all wearing heavy and sturdy battle armor. Furthermore, they were clearly filled with killing intent.
If it was like this here, it was probably like this on all sides of the Qi Family's courtyard.
It was fine if the Kong, Wang, and Bai Families did not move, but if they did, they would definitely move with the force of a thunderbolt. They would definitely not give the Qi Family any chance to escape.
If there were no accidents, the Qi Family would definitely not be able to withstand the attack of the three families. This time, it was likely that they would not be able to escape.
When the nest was overturned, no eggs would be left unharmed.
Xiao Lingyu had to save Yueru before or after the three families attacked the Qi Family. Thus, he also transformed into a black-robed man and rushed into the Qi Family's courtyard with the cultivators of the three families at the front.
The black-robed men at the front should be the vanguard of the three great clans. They were all Heavenly God Stage experts. Their goal was to launch a surprise attack and catch the Qi Clan off guard.
If the Qi Clan didn't know that the three great clans dared to make a move and didn't know when the three great clans would attack, this group of black-clothed men would be able to quickly and easily kill their way into the Qi Clan's courtyard.
The tall walls of the Qi Clan's courtyard were nothing to a Heavenly God Stage cultivator. This was why the Qi Clan arranged for a large number of guards to patrol around the courtyard.
These black-robed men quickly killed all the patrolling guards of the Qi Family. Then, without slowing down, they rushed towards the Qi Family's courtyard.
The Qi Family was indeed a little unprepared. In the face of a surprise attack in the middle of the night, they seemed to be unable to quickly gather their main forces and come up with a good countermeasure. They seemed to be standing on the courtyard walls, constantly attacking the oncoming enemies, but their attacks were a little messy and a little too weak.
It was also because they sensed that the Qi Family was indeed unprepared that these black-robed men had the confidence to attack. They only had to pay the price of a dozen of their men to force the Qi Family members guarding the courtyard walls to retreat. They successfully took over the courtyard walls.
Although the courtyard walls looked sturdy, it couldn't withstand the combined attacks of so many Heavenly God Stage experts. In just a few moments, the courtyard walls collapsed, and a large group of cultivators wearing battle armor rushed into the Qi Family's courtyard through this gap.
Xiao Lingyu also rushed in at this time. The black-robed men were focused on attacking the courtyard walls at first, so they didn't notice that Xiao Lingyu was different from them.
After entering the Qi Residence's main courtyard, Xiao Lingyu headed toward Yue Ru's small courtyard at full speed. Although the Qi Family members tried to stop him along the way, he had a body that was like a high-quality divine weapon. He could completely ignore the attacks that the Qi Family members threw at him. Therefore, he did not slow down much.
No matter how many Qi Family members there were in the Qi Family's courtyard, they couldn't block every place.
What Xiao Lingyu didn't expect was that when he finally rushed into Yueru's courtyard, he couldn't find Yueru at all.
Seeing that the Qi Family's enemies hadn't rushed in yet, Yueru definitely hadn't fallen into the hands of the three great families. The soul imprint that Yueru had left in Xiao Lingyu's communication pearl hadn't disappeared, which proved that she hadn't met with any mishap. There was only one possibility: she had been moved away by the Qi Family.
Xiao Lingyu searched around the Qi Family's courtyard again. Although he still couldn't find Yueru's shadow, he noticed something strange. Although the Qi Family's courtyard seemed to be in chaos, there weren't any non-combatant women or children. All he could see were the Qi Family's experts who were dressed neatly and had serious expressions.
"It seems like the Qi Family has already moved their non-combatant members away. Yueru must have been moved to a safe place."
Xiao Lingyu was relieved. Since Yueru wasn't here, there was no point for him to stay any longer.
In order not to get involved in the dispute, Xiao Lingyu quickly turned around and rushed out of the Qi Family's courtyard.
Xiao Lingyu was probably just a coincidence. While avoiding a group of Qi Family cultivators, he bumped into Qi Hongxuan. He could have gone around him, but he couldn't help but go up to him.
Qi Hongxuan had many Qi Family guards around him. When they saw Xiao Lingyu rushing over, they waved their weapons together.
"Wait!"
Qi Hongxuan recognized Xiao Lingyu and hurriedly shouted at the guards beside him.
Xiao Lingyu came closer and asked, "Where's Yueru?"
Qi Hongxuan replied, "Brother Xiao, don't worry. Medicine Master Yueru is now in a very safe place."
"Brother Qi, you have to be careful when the three great families attack together this time." Xiao Lingyu kindly reminded him again.
However, Xiao Lingyu also felt that the Qi Family must have been prepared for this if they dared to not compromise.
"Hehe, Brother Xiao, four hours later, you can make a trip to the Wang Family. Perhaps you can find what you want." Qi Hongxuan seemed to remind Xiao Lingyu in a relaxed manner.
Xiao Lingyu frowned slightly but didn't ask any more questions. He waved his fist in farewell and rushed out of the Qi Family's courtyard.
It was easier to come than to go back. However, the Qi Family's courtyard was completely surrounded. Rows of well-equipped cultivators with weapons surrounded the Qi Family's courtyard like an iron bucket.
This iron bucket couldn't stop Xiao Lingyu. He first sped up and then suddenly jumped high into the air, flying out of the encirclement.
The cultivators who formed the Iron Barrel Formation would naturally attack him. Crossbows shot up from the ground. Most of them brushed past him, but a small number of them hit his body.
However, although these arrows could injure Heavenly Gods, they couldn't penetrate his body. In the past, these arrows could make him feel a slight pain, but now he didn't feel anything at all.
After landing outside the encirclement, Xiao Lingyu still sped up. After shaking off the people who came to kill him, he circled back to a place not far from the Qi Family's courtyard and observed the situation there.
"Qi Hongxuan asked me to go to the Wang Family after two hours. Does it mean that the Qi Family has full confidence in resisting the joint attack of the three major families?" Xiao Lingyu thought silently after hiding his figure.
Not long after he rushed out of the Qi Family's courtyard, the cultivators of the three great families surrounding the Qi Family's courtyard shouted and attacked the Qi Family's courtyard together after a colorful firework exploded in the air.
The wind was still blowing and the rain was still pouring down. The thunder in the sky above the Realm of the Gods made it difficult for the battle cries in the Qi Family's courtyard to travel too far.
The other parts of the city were very quiet, but the smell of blood had already begun to spread in all directions with the wind.
In less than ten minutes, Xiao Lingyu had already discovered that the rainwater under his feet had turned into blood.
The four great families were fighting here, and there were more than ten thousand people involved. It was indeed a scene of blood flowing like a river.
However, with the three great clans joining forces to attack the Qi Clan, the battle should have ended very quickly. After all, with the three great clans joining forces, their overall strength was definitely much higher than the Qi Clan's. What should have been a one-sided massacre was actually still ongoing after an hour.
"It seems like the Qi Family is well prepared. I think the Qi Family of Du Hu City has sent many experts to support them."
Xiao Lingyu thought as he continued to observe.
After two hours, the battle was still going on. Furthermore, Xiao Lingyu saw that many of the cultivators who were originally charging towards the Qi Family's courtyard had already started to flee. He guessed that the Qi Family would not be defeated this time, and the three great families' joint operation would end in failure. He stopped observing and followed Qi Hongxuan's instructions to head towards the Wang Family's courtyard.
Along the way, he thought that even if the Wang Family really had the Lotus of Creation, it would definitely be in the hands of the Wang Family's experts. Furthermore, the Wang Family's experts should be fighting in the Qi Family's courtyard right now.
Even if the Wang Family's experts who had the Lotus of Creation were still in the Wang Family's courtyard, it would be difficult for him to snatch anything from them. Why did Qi Hongxuan want him to go to the Wang Family's courtyard?
There were many things that he did not understand, but he still felt that he should make a trip to the Wang Family's courtyard.
The three great families must have turned out in full force in order to finish off the Qi Family in one fell swoop. Even if the defense of the Qi Family's courtyard was not empty, it would definitely not be as tight as usual. This was an excellent opportunity for Xiao Lingyu to infiltrate the Wang Family's courtyard.
After an hour, Xiao Lingyu finally arrived near the Wang Family's courtyard. Although he was a little anxious, he still continued to wait because there was still an hour left before the four-hour deadline.
Seeing that the one-hour deadline was almost up, Xiao Lingyu was about to take action when he discovered a group of Wang Family members in a sorry state running back in panic like stray dogs.
Then, one after another, Wang Family cultivators rushed back in the heavy rain. At the same time, more and more Wang Family members rushed out of the Wang Family's courtyard.
