Back on Earth, I am the only cultivator.

The sudden blizzard that swept through the entire city last night had not yet dissipated by early morning.

The eaves of the Li family mansion were covered with glistening icicles, and the cold wind howled, swirling up the remaining snow on the ground.

Inside the main hall, Li Tiancheng sat in the main seat, holding a purple clay teacup, but hesitated to put it in his mouth.

His gaze swept back and forth across the faces of the three uninvited guests below, his heart filled with suspicion and uncertainty.

Sitting on the left is Ye Cangwu, the head of the most prestigious family in the provincial capital.

Sitting on the right is Situ Jing, the president of the Jiangnan Provincial Headquarters of the Wanmeng Chamber of Commerce and a Grandmaster-level expert.

As for Qian Baifu, who used to be a big shot in the city, he could only sit quietly at the end of the table with a cautious smile on his face.

These three people, especially Ye Cangwu and Situ Jing, could make the entire martial arts world of Jiangnan Province tremble if either of them were released.

But now, they seem a bit reserved.

"Brother Li, it's really impolite of us to come and bother you so early in the morning."

Ye Cangwu broke the silence first, cupping his hands slightly, his dignified face filled with a kind smile.

Li Tiancheng put down his teacup, a strange glint flashing in his eyes, but he simply chuckled and said:

"Patriarch Ye, you flatter me."

"You are all distinguished guests from the provincial capital. It is my honor to have you come to my Li family."

"I wonder what brings the three of you here today?"

Situ Jing smoothed his meticulously combed slicked-back hair, took a deep sip of hot tea, and then spoke in a deep voice:

"Master Li, let's not beat around the bush."

"The Lu family was wiped out yesterday. The methods behind this are probably clearer to Patriarch Li than we are."

"We have come here today for only one purpose: to meet that senior."

Upon hearing the word "senior," Li Tiancheng's expression turned solemn.

He had long anticipated that these old foxes were after Wu Fan.

The news of the Lu family's annihilation was too shocking. That was a century-old family with a Grandmaster in charge!

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of people, from top to bottom, were all turned into dried corpses, and even the ground of the mansion was torn apart.

These inhuman, extraordinary methods had already terrified the self-important tycoons of the provincial capital.

"To see a senior?"

Li Tiancheng deliberately sighed, his brows furrowed, and he looked troubled.

"The three of you, it is not that I, Li, am making excuses."

"The senior usually prefers peace and quiet. If he doesn't give the order, even my Li family would never dare to disturb him."

"The Lin family also came to me for help back then, you three must have heard about it."

Seeing this, Qian Baifu quickly took out an exquisite gift list from his pocket and carefully handed it to Li Tiancheng, a fawning smile appearing on his chubby face:

"Don't worry, Master Li, we people from the provincial capital know the rules."

"This is a small token of our appreciation that our Ye family and the Wanmeng Chamber of Commerce put together overnight."

"I will never make things difficult for Brother Li in front of the seniors."

Li Tiancheng took the gift list, glanced at it, and his eyes twitched uncontrollably.

"A ginseng plant that is a thousand years old."

"Three fragments of ancient relics, and two nameless ancient artifacts containing pure spiritual power."

What a grand gesture!

Any one of these items, if placed at an auction, would cause a frenzy of bidding among countless Heaven-level martial artists and even Grandmaster-level martial artists!

These three people are now treating these as a great gift.

Li Tiancheng closed the gift list and pondered with his eyes shut.

He knew very well that the Li family was now firmly bound to Wu Fan.

Although it's somewhat risky to help the Ye family and the Wanmeng Chamber of Commerce make introductions, if I can accept these extremely valuable treasures on behalf of my senior, I can not only gain favor with him, but also establish a tremendous connection with the two major powers in the provincial capital.

"Since the three of you are so sincere, then I will risk being punished by my seniors and take you on this trip."

Li Tiancheng suddenly stood up, his expression serious:

"However, let me make this clear from the start."

"Whether you see me or not, and how to speak to me after you do see me, is entirely up to you."

"If anyone oversteps the bounds in front of our elders, don't blame the Li family for being the first to turn their backs on them!"

"Don't worry, Brother Li! We know what's important!"

Ye Cangwu and Situ Jing were overjoyed and quickly stood up, their tense bodies finally able to relax a little.

……

……

A few minutes later.

A discreetly luxurious bulletproof limousine, escorted by several black SUVs, slowly drove towards the summit of Cloud Top Mountain Villa.

The sky was overcast, and a strong wind, carrying bits of snow, lashed against the car windows.

As the car gradually approached Villa No. 1 in Yunding Mountain Villa, the expressions of the people inside, who had been silent, suddenly changed drastically.

As grandmaster-level experts, Ye Cangwu and Situ Jing possessed an exceptionally keen perception of the energy of heaven and earth.

They rolled down their car windows almost simultaneously, their eyes fixed on the thick, almost tangible white fog outside.

"This! This white mist?"

Situ Jing cried out in shock.

"This is no ordinary fog; it's a phenomenon where the energy of heaven and earth has condensed to its extreme, resulting in fog formation?!"

He tried to take a deep breath and felt an extremely cool air rush into his body. Even his bottleneck, which had not been loosened for many years, trembled slightly!

"Spiritual energy transforms into rain, forming its own realm!"

Ye Cangwu's hands were trembling slightly, and his eyes were filled with awe.

"This is a scene only found in legendary celestial paradises!"

"Just who is this extraordinary figure?!"

Qian Baifu huddled in a corner, feeling that his former pride in his near-Grandmaster cultivation was utterly insignificant here.
