Li Qianye was the first to strike, deploying a massive net that rose to envelop the Silent Extinction Old Demon.

Li Mingxu and Long Xiangdao moved simultaneously, flanking from both sides to encircle the Ancestor of Silent Extinction.

These Profound Evil Three Demons were causing havoc in Yu Yang City before many powerful individuals, seeking to sacrifice the cultivators here, which was undoubtedly a harsh blow to the reputation of both the Li and Long Families.

If they allowed the enemy to escape, where would the face of the Li Family and Long Family be?

In the future, should the Silent Extinction Old Demon bear grudges, continually harming cultivators from the Li and Long Families, attacking the weak cultivators, it would be like releasing a tiger back into the mountain, leading to unending troubles.

Both families naturally did not want to see such a thing happen, so they aimed to slay their opponent on the spot, eliminating the future threat completely.

With the Void Celestial Sword Spirit present, they felt a newfound confidence.

"Old demon, you won’t escape!"

Li Qianye shouted, directing the Celestial Net to swiftly expand, transforming to six or seven zhang in size, moving with extreme speed, as it enveloped the Silent Extinction Old Demon.

Facing the enclosing net, the Silent Extinction Old Demon’s expression changed; he flipped his hand and released a black talisman, which shot forth brilliant radiance.

It was a Tier Five Middle-grade Talisman, the Black Ghost Blade Talisman.

The power of this black radiance was strong enough to cleave through artifacts of the same tier. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

However, the Celestial Net’s tier was superior, covering the black radiance with a clank, and the sound of metal interlacing was heard.

The Celestial Net was undamaged, though its descending speed was momentarily hindered, pausing in mid-air for a breath, as the black radiance shattered.

The Ancestor of Silent Extinction took this opportunity to escape from the coverage of the Celestial Net, intending to flee far away.

At this moment, with the lifebound magical artifacts of Li Mingxu and Long Xiangdao attacking together, the Ancestor of Silent Extinction was thrown into a panic, hastily ignoring his distress.

He utilized the Instant Teleportation Technique of Nascent Soul, and in the blink of an eye, was about to escape.

"Not good!"

Seeing the demon employ instant teleportation, Li Qianye’s expression changed, knowing how difficult it would be to intercept Nascent Soul cultivators with such divine techniques.

The Silent Extinction Old Demon was likely about to escape.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

Just then, the area where the Ancestor of Silent Extinction was located began violently trembling across a wide space.

A Spatial Cage appeared, forming its own realm, sealing the Silent Extinction Old Demon within.

Bang!

The Silent Extinction Old Demon, having performed teleportation, crashed violently against the spatial barrier.

Even though the Nascent Soul body was incredibly strong, under the explosive teleportation force, the entire body disintegrated and exploded in the void.

Only the Nascent Soul remained intact, trembling violently a few times, swiftly roaming about, attempting to find an exit, to escape alive.

"What’s going on?"

"Which Daoist friend is taking action?"

Witnessing such a scene, Li Qianye expressed surprise, couldn’t help but inquire.

Li Mingxu and Long Xiangdao were equally bewildered, instinctively looking toward the direction of the Void Celestial Sword Spirit.

"Only a Nascent Soul remains, how can it escape from my grasp."

It was Lu Ping who spoke, not the Void Celestial Sword Spirit.

The attention of the crowd was drawn, all eyes fell on Lu Ping, as in the instant the Silent Extinction Old Demon was about to teleport away, Lu Ping had immediately performed the Xuanyuan Sword Form, blocking the demon’s path.

"You all, why haven’t you acted? What are you waiting for?"

Noticing Li Qianye and the other two looking towards him simultaneously, Lu Ping spoke flatly, but his tone was filled with an authority that could not be defied.

"Thank you, senior, for your aid."

Li Qianye quickly regained his composure, saluting Lu Ping with gratitude, and then once again activated the Celestial Net, capturing the Nascent Soul of the Silent Extinction Old Demon in one move.

Without a physical body, the power of the Silent Extinction Old Demon greatly diminished, his might was now limited to the First and Second Layers of the Nascent Soul.

At this time, facing the encroaching Celestial Net, he could not evade, being trapped at once.

The Celestial Net rapidly contracted, tightly binding the Demonic Nascent Soul, and with a swift pull, Li Qianye and the others closed in.

"Slay him on the spot."

Li Qianye spoke coldly, and Li Mingxu and Long Xiangdao both nodded heavily.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Celestial Net quickly contracted, each golden thread transforming into blades, slicing the Silent Extinction Old Demon’s Nascent Soul into dozens of pieces.

After which, Li Qianye cast a Fireball Technique, using this most basic Fire Attribute Magic, completely annihilating and cremating the Silent Extinction Old Demon.

"Good!"

Surrounding them, seeing the Silent Extinction Old Demon slain, the cultivators cheered, feeling greatly gratified, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

The chaotic and tense atmosphere initially dissipated significantly, and the crowd no longer scattered to flee, regaining their composure.

In unison, Li Qianye and the others moved, landing beside Lu Ping.

"Senior, thank you for your help."

Li Qianye spoke with gratitude, bowing to Lu Ping, his attitude very respectful, a recognition and respect for the extremely powerful.

Li Xuming and Long Xiangdao also bowed in thanks, silently observing Lu Ping, and were quietly surprised to see how young he was.

Lu Ping nodded slightly, this time he simply didn’t want to let the Silent Extinction Old Demon escape, and incidentally assisted the Li Family.

If Li Chaoge was truly from this Cyan Simurgh Lake Li Family, they were indeed in-laws.

"Who is this senior, so formidable, yet unknown which power he hails from."

"It seems he’s not from Yu Yang City, previously hadn’t heard of a fourth Nascent Soul cultivator in the city."

Lu Ping’s identity and background sparked curiosity among the crowd, with the Void Celestial Sword Spirit and Shanshan also receiving attention and scrutiny.

Even Wen Xianhe could feel it at this moment, dozens of gazes focused on him, the first time experiencing so much attention.

Among them, there were even strong individuals of the Golden Ring Level watching, which made Wen Xianhe rather nervous.

How long has it been since such heightened attention was received?

"Master, their gazes on you are so intense."

Shanshan couldn’t help but murmur: "Many are looks of admiration."

Lu Ping heard this and smiled to himself, yet his face remained calm.

After letting the crowd observe him for a moment, he finally looked at Li Qianye, and slowly said, "Clan Leader Li, may I have a word with you?"

...

With the family competition concluded and the Profound Evil Three Demons slain, the visiting cultivators who came to observe the family competition left under the arrangements of the Li and Long Families.

The Long Family cultivators did not return to their family but chose to stay behind.

In the Li Family guest hall.

Li Qianye, Li Mingxu, and Long Xiangdao, the three Nascent Soul cultivators, hosted Lu Ping.

The Li Family descendants serving tea and water were extremely tense, fearing even the slightest mistake might displease Lu Ping.

Seeing only the three present, all being high-ranking members of the Li and Long Families, Lu Ping got straight to the point: "I have a purpose in coming to the Li Family this time, and that is to find someone."

Understanding Lu Ping’s purpose, Li Qianye and the others exchanged glances, Li Qianye slowly nodded and smiled slightly: "Please feel free to speak, senior, who is it you wish to find?"
