Chapter 271 The person who broke the situation
Sanyang City, inside the City Lord’s Mansion.

As a prominent family with a thousand-year history, the Xingzhou Fan family attaches great importance to Li Yi's affairs. Three months ago, several powerful practitioners of the Fan family had already moved into the City Lord's Mansion. Among them was the current head of the Fan family, Fan Wentian. In addition, the younger generation of talents of the Fan family also came to Sanyang City.

And it wasn't just the Fan family. The Meng family of Qingzhou, the Zhao family of Yanzhou, and the Qi family of Jinzhou also sent people.

There were four people from the Eight Royal Families who came.

It’s not that the remaining four families didn’t want to come, but the four major families deliberately blocked the news. The other families didn’t know about this matter at all and are still kept in the dark.

"Li Yi is here. He really keeps his promise."

Fan Wentian was sitting in the main seat at the moment. He said with a half-smile, "Meng Que, I just don't understand. It's just the life span of a mere Sanyang City. You can give it to him, but why sacrifice Meng Changfeng, a thousand-year-old Yin God? Meng Kuohai of your Meng family also died unjustly. He challenged others to a battle, but was killed before he could get within a hundred steps of the opponent. Now he has completely become a joke."

At this moment, every time he mentioned this matter, he found it funny. Not only him, but the elders of the other two families couldn't help laughing as well.

Meng Que's face looked a little ugly. He said, "My Meng family waded into this muddy water for you. If we hadn't tested Li Yi, how could you have taken this little man from Sanyang City seriously?"

"Now this Li Yi is no longer a small figure."

Zhao Mingyue, the elder of the Zhao family in Yanzhou, said slowly, "When Li Yi entered the city just now, a young disciple of my Zhao family threw a punch at him without holding back, and all nine acupoints of the body were activated. In the end, he was defeated by a single punch, and even the Yin Horse under him was not hurt at all."

"He's practicing qigong?" Meng Que asked in shock.

Before March, he was certain that the other party killed Meng Kuohai with some powerful hidden weapon, not with his own strength, so the Meng family made a wrong calculation and sent Meng Changfeng, the thousand-year-old ghost, to kill him. But they didn't know that Li Yi had a backup plan, and not only did Meng Changfeng die, but all the wronged souls and evil spirits on Ghost Street were wiped out.

Some unknown and terrifying force made the Meng family feel panic and uneasy.

"Li Yi didn't get the method of practicing Gang, he should still be practicing Qiao. However, this person's strength cannot be measured by realm. When he first entered Sanyang City, he was able to kill people who were practicing Qiao across three realms. Doesn't your Meng family have a young female warrior named Meng Cai? She had great potential, but in the end, wasn't she starved to death by him at the foot of Daqing Mountain? Moreover, this time when Li Yi came to the world, he didn't bring the weapon from last time. What does this mean? You might as well think about it." Fan Wentian smiled and said seriously.

An elder of the Qi family who was at the level of Lian Gang knocked on the chair and said, "Although Li Yi may not be called a Lian Gang master, I'm afraid he is a real Lian Gang master."

"No, more than that."

Fan Wentian continued, "There were not just Meng Cai but five martial artists who died at the foot of Daqing Mountain. Although three of them died from that weapon, Meng Cai and Meng Yanwei actually killed Li Yi."

"I checked the bodies of the two men. Meng Yanwei was killed by a few punches, and Meng Cai used up all his blood. But when Li Yi left, Fan Zhizhou didn't see a single injury on him. This means that the two martial artists couldn't defeat Li Yi at that time. Fighting two against one was not his limit. He still had some strength to spare."

Meng Que couldn't help but close his eyes at this moment. He took a deep breath and said, "I understand. This Li Yi can not only fight across borders, but also be invincible across borders. If he has the strength of Lianqiao, he can be called invincible in the Lianqiao realm. If he has the strength of Liangang today, I'm afraid he can also be called invincible in Liangang."

"To attack this person, at least a strong person in the Spiritual Training Realm must take action, and more than one Spiritual Training Realm strong person is being mobilized."

Fan Wentian smiled and said, "So, Li Yi cannot be moved. Don't forget, how did your Meng Changfeng disappear? The cause of death has not been found out until now. We only know that after that day, Ghost Street was cleared out. And even if we capture Li Yi, what will happen? If the masters from the other world come to kill us, all of our aristocratic families will be wiped out."

"I'm just talking. My Meng family has no intention of taking action. I came here to apologize." Meng Que said, "And this gift is big enough. I believe it will satisfy the other party."

"That's right. It's better to resolve a feud than to create one. However, your Meng family is still a little short-sighted." Fan Wentian said.

Meng Que frowned and said, "What do you mean? What does Patriarch Fan have to say?"

Fan Wentian looked at the others, and then whispered, "Li Yi is a fierce dragon that crossed the river. He came here unexpectedly and will not stay here for long. He does not pose any threat to our aristocratic family. He has no intention of competing with us for power. Such a person is destined to venture into a wider world. We are, at best, an inn where he stops by to rest."

"That makes sense. Let's continue." The elder of the Qi family nodded.

"Why don't we four family heads fully support this person, submit to him, and provide him with all his needs, so that we can raise this young dragon. When it flies to the sky, that will be the day for our four families to come to the fore." Fan Wentian said.

The elder of the Qi family hesitated and said, "Although Li Yi is very strong and can dominate the Lian Gang realm, it is too spineless for you to make our four great families bow down to him in one breath, Master Fan."

Fan Wentian just smiled and said, "You must know that a minister should not serve two masters. It is better to recognize one master than to recognize multiple masters. What do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, the other people reacted immediately.

Meng Que stood up suddenly, and asked doubtfully, "You want to use Li Yi's hand to break the game of ghosts and gods?"

"Our eight great families cannot resist ghosts and gods. No family can produce a Dharma Realm figure. The limit of cultivation is to practice the spirit. Whoever dares to break through will die. Our Fan family's ancestors were like this, and so was Meng Changfeng from your Meng family. We are in the middle of the situation and are powerless. If we want to break through, we can only rely on outsiders." Fan Wentian said. "And after Li Yi broke through, do you think that with this person's character, he would care about having more Dharma Realm masters in our family?"

Everyone was silent at this moment.

I never expected that the head of the Fan family would have such courage.

But if you think about it carefully, this deal doesn't seem to be a loss.

If Li Yi failed, they would at most lose some resources. If he succeeded,
"This matter is of great importance. We have to go back to the clan to discuss it." Meng Que, as well as the two elders of the Zhao and Qi families, did not dare to make a decision at this moment.

Fan Wentian said, "It has to be quick, because I'm not sure how long Li Yi will stay in the four seas and eight continents. Once he leaves, when he comes back next time, maybe he has already cultivated to the level of God. By then, our financial support will be nothing in the eyes of others. After all, you have seen how terrifying the speed of others' cultivation is."

"Now I will use the dream technique to contact the head of the family." After Meng Que finished speaking, he walked out of the hall without looking back.

"I will also use the art of sending dreams." The two elders from the Zhao and Qi families were also impatient. Without caring about anything else, they immediately rushed out of the hall and soon disappeared.

Seeing this, Fan Wentian just smiled and did not stop it.

After waiting for the people from the three major families to leave, several elders and disciples of the Fan family came over from the back hall.

"Master, do you think they will agree?" An elder in the Lian Gang realm couldn't help but ask.

"This is a major change that hasn't happened in a thousand years. If their family head is not stupid, this will most likely succeed."

Fan Wentian drank his tea leisurely and said, "Besides, which of the eight great families has not been oppressed by ghosts and gods? A thousand years of hatred, a thousand years of resentment, just waiting for an opportunity. And they know very well that if this is accomplished, even if Li Yi becomes the common ruler of the four seas and eight continents and sits on the golden throne, he will not look down on this small piece of land. Just as Zhizhou said, the outside world is too vast, such a strong man can't live in a corner, and we will be the ones to take care of him when the time comes."

"If the other families don't put in enough chips this time, after Li Yi breaks through, the eight great families will become history."

"If we bet, we won't lose. If we don't bet, they will all be finished. Besides, our Fan family has a backup plan this time. If Li Yi is unwilling to take over the four seas and eight continents in the future, we still have the hope of Zhizhou. He will definitely follow Li Yi across the border this time. If he succeeds in cultivation in the future, he will also be the key to breaking the deadlock."

"But time is running out. Li Yi will soon become successful. After all, he is much more reliable than Zhizhou."

After hearing these words, all the elders of the Fan family present were convinced.

"It's a good deal for them this time." The elder of the Fan family sighed.

"It's safer to have more people. It's a bit of a stretch for our Fan family to support Li Yi alone, but if we use the strength of the four continents, it will be safe." Fan Wentian said, "Okay, prepare the banquet. I will host a banquet for Li Yi at the City Lord's Mansion at noon tomorrow."

"Elder Fan Gao, please take the trouble tonight and bring the elders from Qi and Zhao to visit Li Yi. Let's experience the charm of this man who is known as Yi Zhi's bravery and is unparalleled in the ages. This will also help to completely dispel the doubts of the two families."

"I know, please rest assured, sir." Fan Gao said.

Fan Wentian warned: "Be careful, don't die, this guy's punch is not easy to take."

"I understand." Fan Gao nodded solemnly.

Li Yi had no idea what was happening in the City Lord's Mansion. At this moment, a banquet was being held in the Zhao family martial arts gym, with laughter and joy, and it was very lively.

The banquet lasted until the evening. When Zhao Ge saw that Li Yi was a little drunk, he asked Rong Niang and Zhao Qian to arrange a carriage to send Li Yi back home to have a good rest.

And on the carriage.

Zhao Qian and Rong Niang blushed and looked shy.

Long before Li Yi came to Sihaibazhou, Zhao Ge had already told the two of them that if they saw Li Yi in the future, they should follow him, serve him well and not ask for any status. Li Yi was a man of loyalty and friendship and would not treat them unfairly.

At that time, the two of them agreed to it for some unknown reason.

But now that Li Yizhen is back, he doesn’t know what to do.
