Chen Li knew they were powerful, but they were much stronger than he expected; even Di Xiong had already reached the Sovereign Realm. ‘The people of this clan sure are strong, huh?’
[Hehe! That old man feels grateful to you because you saved Di Chen, and those people also seem nice, so it would be better if you established a good relationship with them, Little Master.]
‘En, you’re right, Sister Kong’er.’ Chen Li then respectfully replied to Di Xiong. “Honestly, you don’t need to be like this, Senior. Moreover, the leader was focused on Uncle Meng, so he didn’t notice my presence, or else I wouldn’t have dared to show up because he could kill me like an ant.”
“You’re right about that.” Di Xiong replied as he nodded in satisfaction. “Even though you said that, your actions managed to save both of them. After all, Meng Wu’s cultivation was below his, and he wouldn’t have managed to kill him if you hadn’t distracted him.”
“Old man, we’d better talk about this later, and we can start the banquet now.” Di Xiong nodded in agreement with his wife, and Yu Shi immediately clapped her hands.
Soon, the maids brought many dishes into the dining room, and they also served each of them a bowl of soup.
At first, everything was fine, but when a servant placed a bowl of soup on the table in front of Feng Xian’er, Chen Li immediately stopped his wife and spread his senses throughout the dining room.
Feng Xian’er herself also noticed that there was something strange in the soup, but she nodded in understanding and left the matter over to him.
Di Xiong, Yu Shi, and Di Xun were shocked after they detected his sense, for it was too strong for cultivators at his level.
Soon, Chen Li’s gaze was fixed on a maid, who was standing at the very end.
Although the maid didn’t show any reaction, she could feel Chen Li’s gaze on her, and she was shocked as soon as she glanced at him because his eyes had turned golden, causing her to tremble in fear.
Di Xiong and Yu Shi, who noticed Chen Li’s eyes turning golden, glanced at each other. ‘How did his eyes change from silver to gold?’
However, they were shocked when Chen Li suddenly disappeared from his seat; even a strong cultivator like Di Xiong could not see his movements.
They then searched for Chen Li and found him standing behind the maid. He immediately strangled her neck and asked in a deep voice. “Tell me! Who ordered you to poison my wife?”
“I-” The maid trembled vigorously at the sound of his voice, especially since Chen Li had unknowingly used his dragon bloodline power.
“Tell me, or I’ll kill you and everyone related to you!” Chen Li said again as his golden eyes shone brighter, and his murderous aura leaked from his body, for he was extremely furious that someone dared to try to poison Feng Xian’er, causing them all to shiver in fear.
Seeing his grandchildren being suffocated by Chen Li’s murderous aura, Di Xiong immediately used his aura to protect them, and they could breathe smoothly again. ‘How could an extremely heavy killing intent emanate from a youth in his twenties like him?’
After experiencing that, Di Yun and Di Jun patted their chests and muttered in their hearts. ‘He’s terrifying! Luckily, he wasn’t mad at us for glancing at his wife earlier!’
On the other hand, Di Chen looked at Chen Li for a moment before glancing at Feng Xian’er, and she felt jealous of her.
‘He is far scarier than that woman named Xuanyuan Wan’er.’ Di Jing inwardly muttered as she looked at Hui Jing, who was lying on the ground trembling, and she used her forelegs to cover her eyes and ears.
Xuanyuan Wan’er smiled and shook her head at that. ‘Whoever was the person who ordered her to poison Sister Xian’er, I’m sure that person won’t fare well, and Brother Chen will definitely do something to that person.’
‘Brother Chen is truly amazing! He’s much younger than me, but his aura is much stronger than mine.’ Xuanyuan Feng’er muttered in her heart in admiration.
“Young… young master Nalan ordered me to give it to that crimson-haired woman.” The maid answered with a trembling voice.
Not only was Chen Li shocked to hear that name, but Di Chen and the others were also shocked to hear it, and they didn’t expect that he had planted a spy in their clan.
“Nalan Jie, huh?” Chen Li muttered under his breath before he snapped the maid’s neck and threw her corpse onto the floor.
Seeing that, Feng Xian’er sighed softly and moved to her husband’s side; she then hugged his arm and said to him. “Calm down, Hubby. I know you are furious at Nalan Jie, but the current you is not his opponent.” 𝑜𝘷𝑙.𝘰𝑟𝑔
“I know.” Chen Li answered softly as he calmed himself down, and his eyes turned silver again. Feng Xian’er then pulled him back to the dining table. “Please forgive me for killing that maid, Seniors.”
“No need, Long Wang.” Yu Shi replied as she shook her head. “We should be the ones apologizing to you; we didn’t realize that there was a spy from the Nalan Clan here, and she almost poisoned your wife.”
“Sigh, Nalan Jie is such a bastard, and I didn’t expect him to use a woman like her as a spy.” Di Xiong said as he ordered the guards to get rid of the servant’s corpse, and he then ordered his sons. “Xun’er! Xuan’er! After this banquet, you guys double-check the background of our maids, and you can expel them if you find them suspicious.”
“Yes, Father.” Both men answered with nods in agreement.
Chen Li then asked Di Xiong. “Senior, is the Nalan Clan that strong? I heard from Miss Chen that they are the strongest clan, but she hasn’t told me about their true strength.”
Di Xiong nodded and explained it to him. “Nalan Jie’s father’s cultivation is in the 3rd Stage Sovereign Realm, and his grandfather’s cultivation should be on par with mine, but they also have several cultivators in the Peak Heaven Realm.”
“I see.” Chen Li nodded in understanding, and a glimmer of cruelty appeared in his eyes. ‘Nalan Clan, huh? I will definitely make a reckoning for Nalan Jie’s actions.’
Di Xun then offered Xuanyuan Wan’er and Xuanyuan Feng’er to join the Silver Moon Sect according to his eldest daughter’s request, but they rejected his offer. They told him that they wanted to train elsewhere first and would join the sect when registration was opened.
“Do you want to join our sect, Long Wang?” Di Xiong asked him. “Although your sword qi hasn’t been refined yet, your killing intent is already much stronger than mine.”
“I’m sorry, Senior.” Chen Li replied with an apologetic look. “Although I also took the sword path, my main cultivation path is dual cultivation, so I plan to join the Blue Moon Sect.”
“Huh?”
“Miss Xian’er, do you really not mind if Long Wang joins the dual cultivation sect?” Even though Di Chen already knew that Chen Li was a dual cultivator, he also had many wives. However, she felt that it would not be good for him to join the dual cultivation sect, especially since the people in the Seven Moon Realm always hated and looked down on dual cultivators.
“Why should I mind that?” Feng Xian’er asked back with a smile. “If we really love someone, we must be able to sacrifice our ego, pride, and selfishness. Since he has decided to join the Blue Moon Sect, I will fully support his decision. Moreover, there are several things waiting for us in the future, and the dual cultivation path is the best choice for him.”
Di Chen felt weird upon hearing her answer. But Di Xiong and Yi Shi, who were very old and experienced, felt that she was a selfless woman, and they could see her loyalty to Chen Li.
After that, they continued their banquet as they chatted lightly, and Chen Li asked them more about the situation in Southern River City and the clans.
At first, Xuanyuan Wan’er wanted to inquire about the Xuanyuan Clan, but Feng Xian’er asked her to hold back first, for she was afraid that there were still other spies.
Di Xiong himself already knew from Di Xun that they came from another realm, but he did not ask anything about it, and his reasoning was the same as Feng Xian’er’s.
After they finished, Yang Nianxue said something to her two daughters. “You two can accompany them on a stroll through the city.”
“Yes, Mother.”
Afterward, the Di Sisters led them to go to the city, but Xuanyuan Wan’er chose to stay in the Di Clan, for she wanted to talk to Di Xiong about the Xuanyuan Clan.

Meanwhile, inside a volcano in the Seven Moon Realm, there was a gigantic red dragon sleeping in the lava. However, the dragon suddenly opened its eyes after it sensed something familiar, and it then looked up and muttered. “The aura just now was Big Brother’s aura, which means he’s in this realm now, but his aura is still very weak. Sigh, I wanted to go find him ASAP, but I can’t leave this volcano for now due to my injury from the last war, which has not fully recovered.”
After saying that, the red dragon immediately closed its eyes and continued its slumber.
