I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

Late at night, the Serpent-Slaying Assembly held by the Dragon Tiger Gate came to a successful conclusion!

However, it wasn't Snake Elder who was killed, but everyone in the Dragon Tiger Sect, from the two sect leaders Zhang Long and Zhang Hu down to every ordinary disciple.

Nowadays, the huge training plaza of the Dragon Tiger Gate is filled with bloody human heads.

In the half-collapsed treasure pavilion on the back mountain, Old Snake was searching for treasures to make up for his misfortunes these past few days.

Qin Li stood outside, glancing at his hands every now and then.

During the day, he absorbed all of Zhang Long and Zhang Hu's power, thinking he could successfully advance to the eighth rank, but to his surprise, there has been no progress at all.

Therefore, Qin Li set his sights on Bai Zhenzhen, who was standing beside him.

Sensing Qin Li's malicious gaze, Bai Zhenzhen quickly covered her chest with her hands and stammered, "W-what are you going to do?"

Qin Li didn't even bother to pretend, and said with a wicked smile, "I'm just one step away from advancing to the eighth rank. I need a true master to help me cultivate."

"Don't even think about it!"

She wasn't scared away by Qin Li outright, but only because Qin Li saved her today.

"I never think about it; I only let my actions speak for themselves."

"However, you've been locked up for so long, you're filthy and stinky. I'm a clean freak, so please go down and wash yourself properly."

"When I have time, I will go to see the real person."

After saying that, Qin Li waved his hand, ordering someone to take Bai Zhenzhen away for a proper bath, so that she would await his favor.

"I'm not dirty, and I don't smell bad."

Bai Zhenzhen was stubborn, but she couldn't resist and could only let them take her down to bathe.

After Bai Zhenzhen was taken away, Qin Li couldn't help but shout towards the treasure pavilion:

"Master, is it ready yet? Fang Yuan has already searched the inside, so there probably aren't many treasures left. It's better to loot the corpses of those martial arts sects than to search for treasures inside. You might find some good treasures there."

This time, the Dragon Tiger Sect held a snake-slaying ceremony, and all the prominent sects in Jiangnan came, undoubtedly carrying many valuable treasures.

"Don't worry about me, just do your own thing."

The old snake's voice came from inside the treasure pavilion.

It didn't sound like the voice of someone who had been imprisoned and tortured for a long time.

Upon hearing this, Qin Li shook his head helplessly.

To be frank, there was a reason why Old Snake was captured. He was only interested in treasures, especially poisonous ones. He couldn't resist them once he saw them.

They are no match for the Sword Immortal Li Fuyao. Look at him, he was injured today, and he immediately found a place to heal properly, afraid of damaging his cultivation.

After waiting outside for a while, Old Snake still didn't come out, but Wang Bao did.

Behind Wang Bao were members of the six major families, all of whom hunched over like Wang Bao's servants.

As soon as Wang Bao arrived, he said in a very casual tone, "Nephew, as you instructed, not a single person was left alive. The bodies were all thrown off the cliff, and the heads are still sitting in the square. Why don't you go and see for yourself?"

The heads of the six great families just came from over there.

The scene there was so terrifying that their legs were still trembling.

"I'm not going to go see it."

Qin Li waved his hand and deliberately said, "Well, now that the guests have arrived, I have to stay here and greet them."

The heads of the six great families were all shrewd people; how could they not understand the meaning behind Qin Li's words?

They were so frightened that they immediately knelt down, saying in a trembling voice, "Your Highness is too kind. We are just insignificant people. If Your Highness has important matters to attend to, please do so. You don't need to worry about us. When Your Highness has time, just send someone to summon us, and we will come immediately."

"Oh dear, this won't do."

"Gentlemen, are you the masters of Jiangnan?"

"I am an outsider; I should be the one coming to see you."

Qin Li then deliberately said something else.

These words nearly scared them to death.

They knew Qin Li was holding a grudge; he had initially invited them to dinner at the Yellow Crane Tower, but they refused, so he wanted to teach them a lesson.

"Your Highness, please forgive me! Your Highness, please forgive me!"

The six men kowtowed repeatedly.

In fact, if Wang Bao hadn't brought 100,000 Liangzhou cavalry, they wouldn't have needed to do this.

Even if Qin Li dealt with the Dragon Tiger Sect, they wouldn't be afraid.

Unfortunately, Wang Bao arrived, bringing with him 100,000 Liangzhou cavalry.

These 100,000 iron cavalry were like a knife hanging over their heads, ready to fall at any moment and cut off their heads.

Therefore, they had no choice but to grovel before Qin Li like slaves.

"If only we had done this sooner."

Qin Li looked at them, sighed deeply, and then his expression suddenly changed. He shouted, "Get down the mountain and wait for me at the Yellow Crane Tower. If any of you dare not be there, you will suffer the same fate as the Dragon Tiger Gate."

After saying that, Qin Li suddenly flicked his sleeve.

The heads of the six great families exchanged glances, then scrambled away from the treasure pavilion, running as fast as they could.

Their target is the Yellow Crane Tower in Jiangxia City. They will probably stay in the Yellow Crane Tower day and night for the next few days, waiting for Qin Li's arrival, not daring to close their eyes for a moment.

Seeing the heads of the six great families scrambling away, Wang Bao was successfully amused.

He grinned and said, "If you ask me, nephew, why did you let them leave? You might as well have just killed them."

"I heard from my elder brother that your trip to Jiangnan is to deal with the six great families. I heard that the six great families have the intention to rebel."

Qin Li didn't answer Wang Bao's question directly, but instead asked, "How is your uncle?"

Qin Li's maternal uncle is Wang Long, the King of Liangzhou, the head of the Wang family of Liangzhou in the Great Zhou Dynasty!

The three sons of the Wang family were named after the dragon, tiger, and leopard!

Qin Li didn't have a deep impression of this maternal uncle.

Unlike Wang Hu, who stayed by his side all the time, or Wang Bao, who came to the capital to visit him every two or three years.

Wang Long stayed in Liangzhou to intimidate the Western Regions and rarely left. Qin Li only saw him a few times when he was a child.

In Qin Li's memory, he was a serious and decisive person.

"Your eldest uncle."

Wang Bao casually found a rock in front of the treasure pavilion, sat down, unscrewed his water pouch, took a sip, and then said, "Your eldest uncle is doing well. He's been preparing to advance to the Grandmaster level these past few years."

"Is my uncle about to become a Grandmaster?"

Qin Li couldn't help but say happily.

Qin Li was happier than anyone else that Wang Long was able to advance to the Grandmaster level.

If the Wang family can produce a grandmaster, his position as crown prince will be more secure, and he will be one step closer to the throne.

This is also one of the reasons why Emperor Xuan disliked Qin Li, because Qin Li's maternal family was simply too powerful.

If Wang Long can truly advance to the Grandmaster level, the other princes will no longer have any ambition for the throne.

"Don't talk about your uncle, it's you, kid."

Wang Bao couldn't help but look at Qin Li and say, "We haven't seen each other for only a few years, when did your skills get so good?"

Although Qin Li made very few moves today, Wang Bao could tell that Qin Li was already a master.

His ability to absorb the power of others filled him with envy.

Qin Li said modestly, "It's just luck. It's all thanks to my master's excellent teaching. You, my uncle, have a grandmaster master, so you'll be able to do the same."

As luck would have it, Old Snake came out of the treasure pavilion, covered in dust, and said after dusting himself off, "Don't try to flatter me, kid."

Snake Elder said to Wang Bao, "Lord Guanwai, you may not know this, but this kid seems to have suddenly had an epiphany. His current cultivation level is entirely due to his own hard work."

Wang Bao nodded: "I think so too."

The two of them kept praising Qin Li until he was embarrassed.

Qin Li quickly changed the subject, saying, "Now that Master is out, let's go down the mountain."

After saying that, Qin Li was about to pull Old Snake down the mountain with him.

Wang Bao stopped the two men and asked, "What do we do here?"

Qin Li waved his hand: "Uncle, you can handle it yourself."

Wang Bao watched the two leave, muttering to himself, "Then I'm going to burn this scourge of a place down to the ground."
