Outside the side room of Dongyuan, Li Gu burst in, standing at the doorway and bellowed, "Li Xiaoyao, come out and meet your death!"

Li Xiaoyao, who was in the midst of cultivation, suddenly opened his eyes.

After his bloodline awakened yesterday, his cultivation level surged by three ranks, and in these past few days, Li Xiaoyao had been devotedly cultivating in the Combat System, not daring to relax for a moment.

The sudden roar woke him, and Li Xiaoyao frowned; he did not recognize this aged voice.

He rose from bed, pushed open the door and stood at the entrance, seeing the man standing outside and asked, "Who are you?"

"Li Xiaoyao!" Li Gu saw him and his eyes flickered with a cold murderous light.

A crowd of clan members quickly gathered, surrounding the entire side room, watching the two men with anticipation.

"Did you kill Li Shisan?" Li Gu questioned.

Seeing him this angry, he was likely seeking revenge for Li Shisan.

Li Xiaoyao gave a cold smile and said indifferently, "He deserved to die."

"Deserved to die? Very well, then in my view, you who killed a fellow clan member, also deserve to die. Today, I shall use your blood to pay respects to Shisan!"

As Li Gu’s voice fell, an overwhelming aura erupted from his body, turning the area dozens of meters around him into a vacuum zone, void of any life.

"Elder Li Gu has made a move!"

"Is he really going to strike?"

"Elder Li Gu’s temper hasn’t changed a bit; Li Xiaoyao is the clan leader’s son, and yet he dares to make a move."

"Elder Li Gu is famously protective. Li Xiaoyao killed his brother. If he could bear it, then I’d be the one truly surprised."

Feeling the aura emanating from Li Gu, Li Xiaoyao immediately judged his cultivation level.

"Peak of the Spirit Cultivation Realm."

"Not too bad, but still not enough to kill me."

When Li Xiaoyao was at the peak of the Abstinence Realm, he could kill Li Shisan, who was at the eighth rank of the Spirit Cultivation Realm, not to mention that his cultivation level had reached the fourth rank of the Spirit Cultivation Realm just yesterday. A mere peak cultivator from the Spirit Cultivation Realm like Li Gu truly did not concern him.

"Li Gu, stop!"

A furious shout came from behind, and as the clan members turned their heads to look, they saw Li Chengfeng coming over with anger on his face, accompanied by the Third Elder, Li Yiming.

"The Clan Leader is here, guess the fight’s off now."

"There’s no need to think about it. Even if the Clan Leader didn’t show up, I don’t believe Elder Li Gu would really dare to act against Li Xiaoyao. He’s the Clan Leader’s son, after all. Unless Elder Li Gu no longer wishes to live, that’s more like it."

Seeing the arrival, Li Gu’s expression shifted slightly: "Clan Leader."

Li Chengfeng glanced at him and then at Li Xiaoyao, relieved to see that he was unharmed.

"Li Gu, what are you trying to do?" Li Chengfeng asked in a deep voice.

"Clan Leader, Li Xiaoyao, as a member of the Li Family, has wantonly killed a fellow clansman. According to clan rules, he should be executed." Li Gu clenched his fist, his knuckles well-defined, his voice tinged with obvious anger.

Li Chengfeng snorted, "Do you even know why Xiaoyao killed him?"

Li Gu certainly knew, but he couldn’t say it at this time.

Seeing him silent, Li Chengfeng said, "Because Li Shisan was the first to strike."

"Even you know that clan members should not kill each other. Li Shisan knew this and still committed the offense. Xiaoyao, in self-defense, killed him. What fault does he have?" Li Chengfeng asked, making the matter clear in front of all the clan members. He wanted everyone to know that Li Xiaoyao’s killing of Li Shisan was because Li Shisan struck first, and the fault did not lie with him.

Li Gu was furious inside, even though he also knew that Li Shisan deserved to die; after all, that was his brother.

```

His brother had been killed, how could he remain indifferent?

Li Gu suddenly lifted his head, turned around, and glared at Li Xiaoyao with anger. This action caused Li Chengfeng to narrow his eyes.

If Li Gu dared to disregard the clan rules and rashly make a move against Li Xiaoyao, then today, he might have to take action himself.

"Ready to make a move?" Li Xiaoyao sneered in his heart, not scared of Li Gu while also hoping that Li Chengfeng wouldn’t interfere.

Being targeted by a cultivator at the pinnacle of the Spirit Cultivation Realm was no small matter. If he could take this opportunity to eliminate him, nothing could be better.

"Li Xiaoyao!" Li Gu said coldly, "I challenge you to a duel to the death. Do you dare to accept it?"

"What!"

The clan members were shocked. Li Gu had actually challenged Li Xiaoyao to a duel to the death.

Although the Li Family had rules against killing one another, there was a separate rule for initiating a duel to the death.

After all, the Li Family was vast, and there were many conflicts among its members. Plus, the blood relations among many members had already become diluted or non-existent over the years.

The Li Family was akin to a miniaturized society.

Here, it was the survival of the fittest, where the might of one’s fist was the ultimate truth.

In a duel to the death, once both sides accepted, there could be no regrets, and in the end, only one person would survive.

As a wager, all resources owned by both parties in the family would directly become the stakes, becoming the reward for the one who survived.

Li Gu forced out a drop of fresh blood, drew a formation in the void with his right hand, and merged the blood into it, causing an energy to burst forth from the blood.

"Li Xiaoyao, a duel to the death. Do you dare accept?" Li Gu asked again.

This drop of fresh blood was a death duel contract. Once Li Xiaoyao accepted it, the contract would be formed. Within three days, the duel must begin, or else both parties would suffer backlash from the contract’s power, with consequences ranging from severe injury to death and complete cultivation dissipation.

Li Chengfeng’s expression turned icy, his anger almost uncontrollable: "Li Gu, get out!"

Facing the clan leader, Li Gu was unafraid: "Clan Leader, I have initiated a duel to the death with him, and that does not violate the clan rules. Even if you are the clan leader, you have no right to interfere!"

"Nonsense!" Li Chengfeng rebuked, "Then I too challenge you to a duel to the death."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the clan members were stunned.

The clan leader of the Li Family, actually challenging an elder to a duel to the death, wasn’t this bullying?

Upon hearing his words, Li Xiaoyao was also slightly startled, feeling a warm surge within his heart.

He knew that Li Chengfeng was in turmoil, caring about him so deeply that he acted in a way that might invite criticism.

Li Xiaoyao stepped forward, and under the expectant gazes of many, nodded his head, "Okay, I accept."

"Xiaoyao!" Li Chengfeng cried out anxiously, knowing a duel to the death was no trifling matter. Once accepted, in the end, only one person would live.

So goes the saying, love breeds chaos. At this moment, Li Chengfeng didn’t care how strong Li Xiaoyao was; he was only worried that Li Xiaoyao might get hurt.

"Dad." Li Xiaoyao suddenly called out, bringing Li Chengfeng to instant silence.

This was the first time Li Xiaoyao had called him by that title since they met.

Li Xiaoyao looked at him and smiled faintly, "Someone will die, but it definitely won’t be me. Trust me."

His tone was calm, but his words were filled with strong confidence.

Li Yiming also spoke softly, "Give Xiaoyao some confidence. Even Xie Min is no match for him. Li Gu won’t pose a threat to him."

Having regained his composure, Li Chengfeng considered the risks involved and finally decided to trust him. He then said, "I respect your decision."
