Otherworldly-Cultivator

After he saw the three women lying exhausted on the floor, Qin Li was dazed, but she remembered the gravity formation within the residence. However, she was confused by Yan Qingcheng's presence, especially since she had never seen her together with Chen Li before.

Diao Hudie soon walked out of the room, but then sighed softly, looking at the condition of the three women. "Were you the one who stopped the formation, Yudie?"

"Yes, Big Sis Hudie." Bei Yudie nodded to her. "When I came back here, I saw the three of them were close to losing consciousness, so I turned it off."

Diao Hudie was then crouching down between them and putting a recovery into their mouths. "So why are you here, Li'er?"

"My parents came here with Gu Jiazhen, and they intended to take me home by force, so I ran away here to hide." Not only Diao Hudie but also Leng Yueyan and Yan Qingcheng turned to Qing Li with frowns, and both women hurriedly swallowed the recovery pill.

Shou Xiang didn't know Gu Jiazhen, but she often heard about the Gu Clan, especially since her race lived in the western wilderness, and that clan was one of several clans that always tried to attack them.

Bei Yudie contacted Chen Li, especially since Qin Li was his dual cultivation partner, so she couldn't let her be taken away by others, including her parents.

Chen Li's clone came out of the Tianyi Realm without waiting long, immediately meeting the woman and speaking to Qin Li. "Don't worry about them; I won't let anyone take you away. Even though this is my clone, it is enough to deter them if they dare to come here. Furthermore, they won't be able to break in, so you can hide here in peace."

"That's why I ran away here, especially since this residence was the safest place for me." Suddenly, Qin Li received a voice transmission from Diao Wudie, which made her panic even more. "My master just told me that Sheng Du has returned to the sect, and he brought his family, so I'm afraid there will be a commotion in our sect."

After hearing that, Chen Li's clone raised his eyebrows, but he wasn't too worried about Sheng Du and instead wanted to meet him immediately.

"Let me handle them, and you just have to wait here." Leng Yueyan stood up from the floor, but her fatigue persisted, prompting her to hastily leave the residence. Yan Qingcheng decided to follow her because they were one and their strengths were equal, and she had heard about Li Jingyun and Hua Gaoyun's malicious plans before.

"I will join them to meet our guests." Diao Hudie quickly left the residence, following Leng Yueyan and Yan Qingcheng.

Shou Xiang also wanted to follow them, but Chen Li's clone immediately stopped her. "You are not their opponent, so you should stay here."

"But-"

"You don't need to argue with me." With a shake of his head, Chen Li's clone interrupted Shou Xiang. "I know that you hate the Gu Clan and the others because they've killed some of your race members, but if they see you here, you'll only worsen the situation."

Shou Xiang looked at Chen Li's clone for a while before nodding at him, and he immediately sat cross-legged on the floor to recover. "All right, I'll stay here."

Chen Li's clone then used his divine god eyes to monitor those people from afar, as well as his scan to check their strength. However, the result surprised him, especially since Qin Li's parents did not have the darkness element, and neither did Gu Jiazhen. "Do your parents have any relationship with the Dark Moon Sect? After all, the Gu Clan is one of that sect's founding clans, right?"

"I don't know for sure about that." Qin Li replied while shaking her head. "They always forbade me from interfering in clan affairs, and I never saw them meet people from that sect. However, they have indeed known people from the Gu Clan for a long time, so they wanted to marry me off to Gu Jianhen, and you already know the rest of the story."

"I see." Chen Li's clone nodded in understanding and sat down on a chair, but his gaze never left the direction of the guest hall. Even so, his expression looked very relaxed, and there was not the slightest worry on his face. 'You guys came at the wrong time, especially since I'm no longer the old me, and I won't have any qualms towards you all. If all of you really want to find trouble with me, then I will eliminate you all at once.'

"When will your true body return to the sect?" As she sat beside him, Qin Li inquired.

Hearing that, Bei Yudie immediately teased her. "Hehe. Are you already addicted to dual-cultivating with him, Big Sis Li?"

"Aren't you the same as me?" With a pout, Qin Li asked her back. "Even though I've only dual-cultivated with him once, we did it for a few days, and the pleasure made me addicted."

"Haha! You're really shameless, Big Sis Li!" Bei Yudie laughed quite loudly as she said that. "It's not just the two of us who feel that way; my other sisters, including my mother, also feel the same way."

Qin Li was shocked by that. "Your mother?"

"Yes." Bei Yudie nodded to her. "Actually, my mother preceded me to become his wife, but I've loved her since I was very little, so I decided to become her wife too, even though it made our relationship sound weird."

Qin Li immediately turned to Chen Li's clone with a sharp glare, but he responded with a smile. "Anyway, my real body will return here in two or three days, and we will dual-cultivate after that."

The guests had already gathered in the guest hall, but Diao Wudie frowned when she arrived because Li Jingyun was among them. Additionally, people from the Sheng Clan were present, and Sheng Du continued to exchange sharp glances with Gu Jiazhen. She ignored them and asked Qin Li's parents directly. "What is the need for the three of you to come to this sect?"

"Elder Wudie, we came here to see Li'er, and Sect Master Jingyun has already told you that you are her master, so I hope you will allow us to see her." Qin Yi was the first to answer her question.

However, Diao Wudie shook her head and refused. "Unfortunately, the two of you coming here was in vain because Li'er didn't want to meet you, especially since you two kept forcing her to marry that guy, and she was enjoying her life in this sect more, so you can go back to your clan directly."

"Elder Wudie, you are indeed Li'er's master, but we are her parents, so you have no right to forbid us from seeing our daughter." Ruan Lufei finally spoke up in a high voice. "Moreover, her grandfather made the decision for her to marry Jiazhen a long time ago, so she must obey his decision and return to our clan to marry him."

"I object to that." Ruan Lufei, Qin Yin, and Gu Jiazhen turned to Sheng Du with dark faces. "Qin Li is my partner, and we have been together for several years, so I will not hand her over to anyone else."

"Heh!" Gu Jiazhen snorted at that and immediately mocked Sheng Du. "Do you think you have the ability to object to our marriage? Your cultivation is only at 8th Stage Earth Realm, and I can crush you easily, so you better know your place and not interfere in our affairs."

"You-" Sheng Du wanted to scold him back, but Gu Jiazhen directly suppressed him with his aura, causing the chair beneath him to shatter. He fell on his buttocks before lying flat on the floor.

"Du'er!" Sheng Du's parents exclaimed as they relieved Gu Jiazhen's pressure, which caused him to spurt fresh blood from his mouth.

However, Qin Yi and Ruan Lufei immediately moved to protect him with their aura, and they quickly blew Sheng Du's parents away, sending both of them flying out of the guest hall.

Diao Wudie shook her head, but she had no intention of stopping them, and she actually felt happy if a fight broke out between them. That way, she just needed to take action against the winner.

On the other hand, Li Jingyun wanted to stop them, especially since he still needed them to get rid of Chen Li. However, before he could take action, Leng Yueyan and Yan Qingcheng had already arrived, swiftly capturing Sheng Du's parents before they fell to the ground.

After helping them up, Leng Yueyan looked at Qin Li's parents and Gu Jiazhen with a furious look, and she immediately released her aura to suppress the three of them.

*Bam... Bam... Bam...*

Leng Yueyan instantly forced the three people to kneel on the ground, but she didn't stop there and made them kowtow, shocking Li Jingyun, who hadn't expected her strength to increase again. "I don't care about your identities, but this is my sect, and I won't allow anyone to make a ruckus. Since the three of you dare to attack my disciple and his family, I have to teach you guys a lesson."
