Second Elder ramd his hand on the table, "Let's fight back!"
Fifth Elder, who had been silent for a long ti, spoke, "And how are we going to fight back?"
"Should we go against the Family Head? And what about Killer Dragon? Even if we managed to kill him, then what? We'll beco the enemy of the Valley of Death, and that will be the end of our family."
Second Elder roared, "Today I lost my big brother, you have lost your First Elder, and my sister-in-law is being ravaged by that monster, even when we are speaking! What will you do if he'll have more demands?"
"What if next he wants to ravage your wife and daughter? How long will you suffer? I'm done with this! You are with or not?" Second Elder asked, glaring at the family mbers of the Li family.
Fourth Elder spoke, "This wouldn't have happened if Ancestor was still here. Don't know where he went, and now we don't have any knowledge of his whereabouts. Now our elite Li family has only been a na in na."
Second Elder spoke, "This was all the fault of the Family Head and his stupid son, and Third Elder for being his lackey. Open your eyes and stop taking his sides. He has ruined our family."
Fifth Elder questioned, "Then what do you suggest? Do you have a way to save our family?"
Second Elder got up from his seat, "I know a way which will save us from this predicant. I'm going to do that, and if successful, then we'll be safe."
His tone was serious, but faint nervousness could be seen in his eyes.
One of the won ca forward, whose daughter was chosen as one of the three virgins.
"I will not let my daughter suffer. Please do whatever you can to save our daughters. If there will be no help, then I'll kill my daughter with my own hands and then end my own life."
Fourth Elder nodded, "Rember not a word to anyone."
With that, he left while the remaining elders told everyone to conceal this information from everyone, including the Family Head and Third Elder.
anwhile, in the Alchemy Tower, Ye Yang was cultivating.
After taking the Pill given by the Chief Alchemist, he was gifted another pill, a rare treasure that helped him raise his yang energy significantly.
This surge in yang energy propelled his cultivation forward, and finally, he broke through to the early-stage Energy Transformation realm. A wave of euphoria washed over him as he felt a surge of power coursing through his veins.
Suddenly, a commotion erupted outside. A man in a dark cloak had appeared at the Alchemy Association, and the guards, alerted by the commotion, had imdiately surrounded him.
"Identify yourself!" one of the guards demanded, his voice stern.
The cloaked man remained silent for a mont, then slowly revealed his face. "I want to et Sir Ye Yang," he declared.
Second Elder, for it was he, removed his cloak, revealing his face. The guards, recognizing the esteed Second Elder of the Li family, hesitated. "Who are you, and what work do you have with Sir Yang?" one of the guards cautiously inquired, his sword still pointed at the Elder.
"I am Second Elder of the Li family," he replied, his voice firm. "I have urgent business to discuss with Sir Yang. It is of utmost importance."
The Alchemists who ca from inside the Alchemy Tower recognized him, "What are you doing here? This place is off-limits for the people of the Li family."
Second Elder spoke with an urgent tone, "This is very crucial, please understand. This is also a matter concerning Killer Dragon. Please let see Sir Ye Yang."
The elders, sensing the urgency in his voice and recognizing the gravity of the situation, exchanged glances. "Very well," one of them finally conceded. "We will inform Alchemist Yang."
He hurried towards the inner sanctum where Ye Yang was still basking in the afterglow of his breakthrough. He interrupted Ye Yang's ditation, his voice grave.
"Alchemist Yang, a visitor requests an audience. He claims to be Second Elder of the Li family and insists the matter is of utmost urgency."
Ye Yang, intrigued, nodded. "Lead him in." He didn't know why the people of the Li family wanted to et him, which intrigued him.
Second Elder entered the chamber, his face etched with worry. He bowed respectfully to Ye Yang. "Greetings, Sir Ye Yang. I apologize for the intrusion. I hope you can talk and let the matter of our Li family and you aside."
Ye Yang, observing the Elder's grave deanour, sensed that sothing was amiss. "Why do you think that? After coming for my life thrice, what makes you think I'll let the matter aside?"
Second Elder hesitated, then poured out his tale of woe. He recounted the tragic events that had unfolded at the Li family estate, the murder of the First Elder, the brutal assault on his sister-in-law, and Killer Dragon's tyrannical demands. The spoke of the impending doom that hung over their family, the fear that gripped their hearts, and the desperate need for a solution.
Ye Yang heard the whole story but didn't react and when second elder ended the whole incident, Ye Yang spoke, his voice stern, "what's the plight of Li family has to do with , you are facing the consequences of what you have done, this is called Karama."
Second Elder bowed, "I know the Li family is wrong in this, but this was not what the Li family wanted. It was the Family Head's decision, and we didn't know about this."
"I know I'm being selfish, but this will help in your Favour too. Killer Dragon will be vulnerable at this mont. If you strike him now, then you can kill him. You don't have to wait for him to co for your life, and with that, we can save our daughters from our family."
Ye Yang scoffed, "I have no reason to be afraid of him. With his asly cultivation of the middle stage of Spirit Awakening, I don't need to fear him. I can wait for him to co and die by my hands."
The Second Elder was stunned to know that for Ye Yang, a Spirit Awakening stage cultivator was just asly.
Second Elder spoke, "But when Killer Dragon will die, they will send another one."
Chief Alchemist, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke, "That's the concern. The leader of the Valley of Death Assassin group is rumoured to be a Spirit Core Formation realm powerhouse like , but I'm in the middle stage, and he is halfway through to the Nascent Soul realm. Things are not in our favour."
Ye Yang thought for a mont and then spoke, "It doesn't matter. If one cos, I'll kill one. If two co, I'll kill two. If all co, I'll kill all of them."
Second elder spoke, "Sir Yang, The Valley of Death is not so street thugs. They are cunning and ruthless. Be prepared, for this will be a difficult fight."
Ye Yang smiled, "I'm always prepared. Now, tell , what exactly do you need from ?"
