Inside a room in the inner palace, Li Qingzhou lay unconscious on the bed, his face pale. Beside him sat a beautiful woman who appeared to be in her thirties, looking at Li Qingzhou with a worried and distressed expression. This was Yang, Li Yunfan's biological mother.

"mother!"

Upon hearing the voice, Yang turned around and saw that it was her son who had been away from home for several years. The emotions that had been building up in her heart could no longer be contained, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

Seeing his mother like this, Li Yunfan felt heartbroken. He went over and wiped away her tears, while holding her hand and transferring a stream of spiritual energy to her.

Li Yunfan knew that his mother was just a mortal, not a cultivator. After staying by her bedside for several days, her body was already starting to give out, so he transferred some spiritual energy to her to nourish her body.

"Mother, don't worry, I won't let anything happen to Father!" Li Yunfan said solemnly.

"Fan'er, I heard that you not only joined the Yellow Maple Valley, but have also become a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Is there any way to save your father and wake him up?" Madam Yang asked Li Yunfan with hope in her eyes.

Li Yunfan didn't speak, but sat down on the edge of the bed, placed his hand on Li Qingzhou's wrist, and began to take his pulse to check his injuries.

After a moment, he stood up with a slight frown.

Seeing Li Yunfan in such a state, Yang thought that even Li Yunfan couldn't save him, and a look of despair appeared in her eyes.

"Mother, don't worry! I can heal Father's injuries, but I need some time to prepare," Li Yunfan said softly to comfort her.

"Really!?" Yang's eyes lit up and she asked with a look of delight.

Li Yunfan nodded with a smile, then said to Madam Yang, "Mother, you should go back and rest. I'll treat Father's injuries. I don't want to see you so exhausted when he wakes up!"

After he had coaxed Yang away, Li Yunfan put away his smile, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"The Gu family..."

At this moment, in Li Yunfan's mind, the Gu family had already been placed on the list of families to be destroyed!

Then, he sat back down on the edge of the bed, took his father's wrists in his hands, closed his eyes slightly, and channeled his own fire-attribute spiritual energy into his father's body to begin clearing his meridians and adjusting the chaotic spiritual energy...

More than two hours later, Li Yunfan finally left Li Qingzhou's room, his eyes showing signs of fatigue.

After saying goodbye to the two clan elders who had been waiting outside the main hall, he left the Li family's residence.

He didn't return to the Li family until the morning of the next day, and went straight into Li Qingzhou's room, where he didn't come out for more than ten days.

Fortunately, after his treatment, Li Qingzhou has fully recovered. Upon learning that it was his son who cured him, he was not only moved but also extremely proud.

Afterwards, he left the room with Li Yunfan, had a good meal with Madam Yang, and spent the whole day with her before arriving at a secret room in the Li family home.

"Yun Fan, are you saying that the demonic path is about to invade Yue Kingdom and force our entire Li family to move to Xi Kingdom?" Li Qingzhou asked with a furrowed brow and some disbelief.

"That's right! Our Li family is just a minor family. Once the demonic path invades Yue Kingdom, the seven sects, including Huangfeng Valley, will absolutely not be able to resist. At that time, we will either have to join the demonic path or be used as cannon fodder by the seven sects. Neither of these is something we can afford!" Li Yunfan said solemnly.

Looking at his son's determined eyes, Li Qingzhou fell into deep thought and finally asked the crucial question after a while.

"How can you be so sure that the demonic path will definitely invade? What if you guess wrong? Wouldn't the Li family be completely wiped out? Relocating a family isn't as simple as just moving there. We not only need to find a place with abundant spiritual energy, but we also need to deal with the local powers. If something goes wrong, we could very well face retaliation. With the Li family's strength, we could even risk annihilation if we're not careful!"

Li Yunfan sighed inwardly. He had long guessed that his father would not agree so easily, but he could not reveal how he knew the information. He could only make up a credible reason to convince the other party to believe him.

"Father, although the seven factions of Yue Kingdom seem powerful, they only occupy the territory of one kingdom. They are not only sandwiched between the righteous and demonic paths, but also do not belong to either side. Do you think the righteous and demonic paths will tolerate such a situation?"

"Everything is peaceful now, but that's only because both the righteous and demonic factions haven't fully recovered from the previous great battle. Once they're free, both the righteous and demonic paths will prioritize eliminating the seven sects to ensure they don't join the other side. And the most likely to make a move is the demonic path!"

"Now that I've not only joined the Yellow Maple Valley, but also become a disciple of a Core Formation cultivator, I naturally have access to more information. Combined with some other news I've gathered, I've deduced that the demonic path might invade, and that it could happen within the next few years, or at the latest, within ten years. Therefore, now is the best time for us to leave Yue Kingdom!"

Li Yunfan rattled off a long speech, and Li Qingzhou was clearly swayed by his words. After all, he dared not gamble, for if Li Yunfan's prediction came true, the Li family would truly be destroyed.

"But what about the two elders..."

"Father, rest assured, I am confident that I can get the clan elders to agree!" Li Yunfan said with a confident smile.

Upon seeing this, Li Qingzhou couldn't help but show a surprised expression, but he didn't ask directly. Instead, he nodded and said, "Alright! I'll have the two elders come over right away!"

After pausing for a moment, he looked at Li Yunfan again before speaking.

"However, if you cannot persuade the two elders, even if you are my son, as the head of the Li family, I cannot agree to your suggestion."

After saying this, he left the secret room to personally invite the two clan elders over.

Before long, the two elders entered the secret room with puzzled expressions, clearly Li Qingzhou had not told them about the family's relocation.

"Yunfan, Qingzhou said you have something important to tell us, and that it concerns the life and death of the Li family. Is that true?" The black-robed elder asked Li Yunfan.

"Indeed! Elders, the Li family must leave Qingmu Mountain as soon as possible, or more precisely, leave the Yue Kingdom directly!"

Li Yunfan then repeated what he had just said to Li Qingzhou. However, after listening, the two elders angrily accused Li Yunfan.

"Nonsense! How could the demonic path invade Yue Kingdom? Do you think the Seven Sects are just for show?"

Li Qingzhou glanced at Li Yunfan, a look of "I knew it" on his face.

Li Yunfan hadn't expected the other party to react so strongly, but he was still confident he could persuade them.

He then analyzed the current situation of the cultivation world in Tiannan for the two elders again. During the discussion, the two elders asked questions, which Li Yunfan answered carefully.

After hearing Li Yunfan's words, the anger on the faces of the two elders gradually dissipated, and they put on a thoughtful expression instead.

Seeing that the two elders were gradually moved by his words, Li Yunfan finally resorted to his last resort.

"Elders, I am also a member of the Li family. It is impossible for the Li family to move away from Qingmu Mountain, where we have lived for more than 600 years, without a reason. I did this in order to preserve the Li family and allow the Li family to have a better future."

After saying that, Li Yunfan patted the storage bag at his waist, and two jade slips flew out from it. He then presented them directly to the two elders.

"The two elders can take a look at the contents of the jade slip first. If they agree to the relocation, I will send it directly to the clan!"
