Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength surged out from between his brows and entered Liu Huabai's body to investigate. In merely a moment, Xiao Yan had already clearly understood the condition of the sequelae in Liu Huabai's body.
The sequelae in Liu Huabai's body had existed for over ten years. After years of accumulation, it was no longer something that a clan like Liu Huabai could easily remove. If it was three years ago, with the wealth of the Liu clan, the sequelae in Liu Huabai's body would have been completely healed if they were willing to spend a large amount of money. Unfortunately, the internal discord within the Liu clan caused the sequelae in Liu Huabai's body to be difficult to remove. Moreover, it had quietly become increasingly intense. If Xiao Yan had not coincidentally arrived, it was likely that Liu Huabai's internal injuries would flare up and cause him to die in less than two years.
Xiao Yan explained to Liu Huabai while sensing the hidden injuries in Liu Huabai's body. A moment later, however, Xiao Yan smiled slightly. After which, he extended his hand and took out a medicinal pill from empty space for Liu Huabai to consume. Liu Huabai completely did not notice the tier of the medicinal pill. His face was dull as he looked at Xiao Yan's hand that randomly tore through empty space. Only when an incomparably enormous medicinal strength was suddenly transmitted from his body did Liu Huabai suddenly wake up. He hurriedly raised the Dou Qi in his body and began to refine it.
Xiao Yan's expression did not change. He still had an indifferent manner as he sat by the side of the tea table and drank his tea. However, the slight frown between his brows revealed the thread of impatience in Xiao Yan's heart. However, he did not say anything and continued to quietly wait.

Night, Qingyang City, Wu clan mansion.
"Bang!"
The head of the Wu clan, Wu Bai, violently slammed his large hand on the table, causing the entire table, which was made of cedar wood, to be forcefully smashed into pieces. Both of Wu Bai's eyes were filled with an endless killing intent. Waves of aura that belonged to an expert at the peak of the Dou Zong class surged out from his body, causing everyone in the clan's Discussion Hall to emit a muffled snort from their mouths and noses. One after another, they withdrew from the large hall, leaving only Wu Bai alone in the large hall as he roared furiously.
"Hmph! What a Liu clan! What a Liu Huabai. You actually dare to clash with the old me head on. Good! Since you, Liu Huabai, feel that the Liu clan has existed for a long time, the old me will help you stop here! Hmph! Men! " Wu Bai's face was filled with ferocity as he roared toward the outside of the hall. In the next moment, a family guard immediately ran in. Wu Bai opened his mouth and roared again.
"Let's go and see if the Grand Elder has come out of his seclusion. He said that he would come out today. As long as he comes out, it will be the day the Liu Clan will be exterminated!"
"Hehe, there's no need for Patriarch to worry. This old man has already come out. I just don't know when Patriarch plans to exterminate the Liu Clan?"
As soon as Wu Bai finished speaking, an old man in hemp clothes appeared at the entrance of the hall. The old man in hemp clothes naturally already knew about what happened during the day. However, he was still quite familiar with the character of his clan leader. Since Wu Bai said that he would take action the next day, he would definitely not let the other party live until the next morning. That was why he asked this question at this moment.
Hearing this, Wu Bai smiled as he looked at the hemp-robed old man who was slowly walking into the hall.
He then said, "Since the Grand Elder has come out of his seclusion, now is the best time to exterminate the Liu Clan!"
Hearing this, the hemp-robed old man revealed a sinister smile. The two of them did not discuss further and walked out of the hall. Amidst a flurry of footsteps, all the elite disciples of the Wu Clan had gathered. They were only waiting for Wu Bai's order to kill the Liu Clan.
Naturally, the Wu Clan's big movements could not escape the Liu Clan's investigation. Furthermore, the Wu Clan's victory was already in their hands, so there was no need for them to be sneaky. They all walked with large strides, their voices shaking the heavens. The entire Qingyang City became slightly noisy. Everyone was debating the final outcome of the battle between the Wu Clan and the Liu Clan. Some people hoped that the Liu Clan would be able to obtain the final victory. This was because the Liu Clan's way of doing things was truly acknowledged by the people of Qingyang City. However, there were even more people who could only sigh. Although the Liu Clan was good, the clan's fate was already exhausted. The destruction of the clan was already inevitable. Even if the Liu Clan could escape, they could only live a life of homeless dogs forever. How could they rise again?
Liu Clan.
What was different was that the current Liu Clan was calm and peaceful. Everyone did not feel the slightest bit of nervousness towards the upcoming big battle. It was as though all of this had nothing to do with them as they each did their own thing. They naturally knew that the Wu Clan was about to attack the Liu Clan. However, the clan had Xiao Yan, a senior whose strength was exceedingly high. Even if the Wu Clan sent out all their forces, what could they do? They would still return in defeat. It was even possible that all of them would die in the Liu Clan. However, although they thought like that, Liu Huabai did not think like that. Liu Huabai looked at the lazy members of the Liu Clan and a hint of worry appeared on his face. How could the rise and fall of the Liu Clan be completely entrusted to a senior that he had just met for less than a day? Moreover, the reason why Xiao Yan was able to stay in the Liu Clan was all because of the trace of good impression that Xiao Yan had towards Liu Xiang. How the Liu Clan ended up was none of his business. Therefore, in order to motivate the members of the Liu Clan, Liu Huabai had no choice but to fabricate the story that Xiao Yan would not care about the matters of the Liu Clan. When everyone heard that, their hearts were shocked and some of them became restless. However, at this moment, the sounds of war resounded outside the Liu Clan. The members of the Liu Clan woke up at this moment, but it was already too late. The big battle had already arrived.
Liu Huabai frowned as he looked outside the Liu Estate. There were two auras that made him feel extremely fearful. Compared to Xiao Yan's aura that was so calm that it was hard to detect, these two auras caused his entire body to be filled with an ice-cold chill. When the people of the Liu family also felt the two powerful auras, they were so frightened that their faces became deathly pale. Their faces became ashen, and even the minimum fighting spirit of a cultivator disappeared without a trace. In front of absolute power, they ultimately chose to retreat. That kind of power was not something they could contend against. That kind of power was really too strong. Even if the Patriarch, First Elder, and the other five people worked together, they would definitely not be a match for it. Unless … Unless Xiao Yan made a move. However, right now, Xiao Yan had already clearly told them that he would not make a move. So, there was no need to fight this battle anymore.
Seeing that the faces of the people of the Liu family were ashen, Liu Huabai's thoughts quickly spun. Finally, he thought of a way.
He shouted to the people of the Liu family, "Could it be that all of you are so willing to admit defeat?! Your defeat will only cause the little bit of goodwill that Senior Xiao Yan has for our Liu family to completely disappear. If you don't have the courage to fight, how can you exchange it for Senior Xiao Yan's favor and help? How can a family without strength and courage obtain the support of Senior?! Come! Bring out your courage and let Senior Xiao Yan see our value! Fight! Use our blood to exchange for the glory of our Liu family for eternity! Everyone, rise! Charge! Kill those bastards of the Wu family! " The more Liu Huabai spoke, the more agitated he became. In the end, he even seemed to be roaring at the crowd. Many of the cultivators of the Liu family were also affected. They all raised their hands and shouted in unison,
"Fight! Defeat those bastards of the Wu family! Let them see that our Liu family does not produce cowards! Kill them all! Fight! Fight! For the glory of our family! Fight! "
In an instant, everyone in the Liu family became excited by the illusory glory of the future. They began to circulate the Dou Qi within their bodies. Numerous bright lights accompanied by colorful Dou Qi soared to the sky. The moment their auras rose, everyone in the Liu family mansion, regardless of whether they were male or female, old or young, had Dou Qi wildly surging out of their bodies, forming numerous colorful light curtains that covered the entire Liu family. Even the five Elders who were resting after being injured by Xiao Yan earlier began to emit an aura that belonged to an elite Dou Zong. They forcefully supported their bodies and walked toward the main door of the Liu family mansion.
Xiao Yan, who was in the guest room, also lifted the corner of his mouth at this moment. He muttered to himself,
"This Liu family is not that bad. Perhaps, it is really worthy of my help."

At this moment, outside the Liu family's residence, a large group of cultivators wearing black robes with black cloth covering their faces had surrounded the entire Liu family's residence so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through. Everyone's faces were filled with nervousness and excitement as they looked at the Liu family's entrance. They had already heard from the waves of roars that came from within the Liu family's residence that the Liu family was really going to fight with the entire family this time. As the saying goes, when two tigers fight, one is bound to be injured. Currently, although the Wu family seemed to have a complete advantage, since the Liu family dared to make such a ruckus a few minutes before the big battle, it meant that they had something they did not know about. Since this was the case, they needed to be extremely careful. However, this was only for the ordinary people of the Wu family. For the hemp-clothed old man, as long as the opponent was not someone of the same level as him, he had full confidence that he could take down the Liu family. Therefore, he scoffed at the Liu family's reaction and ignored it.
Following the creaking sound of the door opening, the main door of the Liu family's residence slowly opened. Hundreds of figures filed out from the door. All of them held weapons and looked at the people from the Wu family covetously. Liu Huabai scanned the people that the Wu family had brought with them from afar. The total number of people that the Wu family had brought with them was probably much more than the Liu family's. This caused Liu Huabai's heart to sink slightly. With this additional number of people, in addition to the two auras that made him feel extremely fearful, it was likely that the Liu family would not be able to survive today without Xiao Yan's help. As for whether Xiao Yan would actually help, it was still unknown. Liu Huabai could not help but sigh in his heart.
Just as Liu Huabai was about to step out of the door, an arm was suddenly placed on his left shoulder. When he turned his head to take a look, he saw that it was the First Elder who had come to fight despite his injuries. Looking at his pale face, it was likely that he would not be able to fight. Just as Liu Huabai was about to persuade him to return, the First Elder suddenly said, "Family Head, there is no need.
No matter what, this old man is still a member of the Liu clan. Even if I am injured, I must fight for the clan. After today's matter, this old man has understood that what that elder said is right. This old man has too much authority. How can a clan be arrogant? Those ancient aristocratic families use humility as the foundation for the continuation of the clan. My Liu clan is just a small border clan. What qualifications does it have to be arrogant? If my Liu clan can survive today, this old man will no longer meddle in the affairs of other clans. Everything will be up to the clan head! " The First Elder's words were incomparably sincere, causing Liu Huabai to be unable to bear to refute. Additionally, the First Elder was currently seriously injured. Hence, Liu Huabai could only nod his head and agree. After which, the two of them looked at the head of the Wu clan, Wu Bai, and the linen-clothed old man.
The First Elder's eyes had just met the eyes of the linen-clothed old man when his eyes suddenly shrunk. His mouth was widened and a shocked expression surfaced on his face. It was a long while later before he spat out a couple of words,
"You … you … you are not dead!"
A cruel smile surfaced on the linen-clothed old man's face. He smiled and opened his mouth to speak to the First Elder of the Liu clan.
"How is it? Are you very excited to see the old man? That's right! The old man is not dead. Not only am I not dead, the old man has also obtained the strength of a Dou Zun. How is it? Are you happy to hear this good news? Ha ha ha! "
The hearts of the First Elder and everyone from the Liu clan shook when they heard this. Their eyes suddenly shrunk and their faces were shocked as they looked at the linen-clothed old man. The class of Dou Zun. That was an ultimate existence that would not appear in this Qingyang City for a hundred years. Once a Dou Zun appeared, what could their Liu clan be considered?
"You have become an elite Dou Zun? Then why are you still in this Qingyang City? Shouldn't you have been brought away by the people above? " The First Elder's body shook when he heard this. After which, he asked the linen-clothed old man in disbelief.
