I Can't See Me, I Can't See Me!

"I am Chou Yin, the Third Elder of Heavenly Firmament Academy. I have been sent by the Dean of Heavenly Firmament Academy and the Left Prime Minister to mediate the affairs of the Liu Family."

The old man's voice carried a powerful sense of danger.

That booming voice echoed throughout the entire Liu Family estate.

"Patriarch Liu, esteemed elders, please, there's no need for such formality."

The old man waved his hand, a faint smile on his lips. "I am already aware of the matters concerning you all."

Chou Yin.

Third Elder of Heavenly Firmament Academy.

A top-tier expert at the early Saint Lord realm.

Not just within Heavenly Firmament Academy, but throughout the entire Heavenly Flame Empire, he was a prominent figure.

With such a powerful individual present, The anxious hearts of the Liu Family members finally began to settle.

Qin Anlan, though formidable, was merely the Young Lord of the Divine Marquis.

Behind their Liu Family stood Heavenly Firmament Academy.

And behind Heavenly Firmament Academy were the First Prince and the Left Prime Minister.

Could mere Qin Anlan really turn the heavens upside down?

The Liu Family members felt a sense of relief, even a touch of joy.

"Thank you for your concern, Left Prime Minister. We are deeply grateful for Elder Chou's personal visit, Elder Chou. Our Liu Family is eternally indebted."

Liu Chongshan bowed respectfully once more.

He quickly fumbled in his pocket, produced a storage ring, and leaned in to whisper, "A small token of my appreciation. Please do not refuse it, Elder Chou."

"Haha..."

"Patriarch Liu is too kind."

Chou Yin chuckled lightly, accepting the ring from Liu Chongshan with a calm demeanor.

The smile on his face was now difficult to conceal.

Even without scanning it with divine stones, he couldn't be sure of the treasures hidden within.

But he knew, without a doubt, that the contents of this storage ring were no ordinary items.

After a few pleasantries, they returned to the main hall.

"Elder Chou, please take the honored seat."

Liu Chongshan gestured towards the Patriarch's seat, which had originally belonged to him.

Chou Yin didn't stand on ceremony and took his seat.

Given his status, his presence at the humble Liu Family was already a great honor.

It was hardly appropriate for an Elder of Heavenly Firmament Academy to sit below.

Once everyone was seated, Chou Yin surveyed the assembly and said with a faint smile, "Heavenly Firmament Academy is fully aware of the Liu Family's situation."

"It is indeed a pity that Liu Ruyan's exceptional talent has been crippled. However, Heavenly Firmament Academy possesses special Spiritual Roots. If they are transplanted, there is a possibility of recovery."

Upon hearing this, Liu Chongshan was overjoyed.

He hadn't expected Heavenly Firmament Academy to offer such timely assistance during their time of crisis.

That infamous Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate, bullying the weak and the infirm, was truly despicable.

"Our Liu Family will never forget the great kindness of Elder Chou and Heavenly Firmament Academy."

"Elder Chou, with your immortal bearing and dignified presence, it is truly a blessing for us, the members of the Liu Family, to behold you."

"Our Liu Family has prepared a banquet. We implore Elder Chou not to refuse."

Liu Chongshan cupped his fists again, expressing his heartfelt gratitude to Chou Yin.

The rest of the Liu Family members nodded in agreement, showering Chou Yin with praise.

The fawning expressions on their faces were evident.

This extreme display of deference and sycophancy.

Truly a model of simpering behavior.

Before long, The Liu Family's luxurious banquet was fully laid out.

Dishes made from exotic beasts and a vast array of immortal fruits.

The entire hall was adorned with treasures and exuded an air of opulence.

These were items that Qin Anlan had originally intended to use to win over Liu Ruyan.

Currently.

The Liu family, using a gift from Qin Anlan as their own, is trying to curry favor with Chou Yin.

The members of the Liu family, shifting from worry to joy, were already ecstatic, grinning from ear to ear.

Although Liu Ruyan had lost her cultivation, she had gotten rid of that simp, Qin Anlan.

Without Qin Anlan as their backer, the Liu family had suffered immense, albeit intangible, losses.

But they had seized this opportunity to pledge allegiance to Heavenly Firmament Academy.

Furthermore, Chou Yin had also mentioned.

That within Heavenly Firmament Academy, there was a miraculous medicine capable of healing Liu Chongshan's bone structure.

When all was said and done, their Liu family had suffered virtually no losses.

Their bone structure could be regrown.

The lost Skyflame Phoenix Blood could be reinfused.

Restoring their cultivation was merely a matter of time.

Most importantly, the Liu family had gained the attention of Heavenly Firmament Academy, and their status had soared.

They had won big.

The Liu family had truly hit the jackpot this time.

At least, including Liu Chongshan.

Everyone in the Liu family shared the same sentiment.

Just as the Liu family rejoiced, celebrating their successful alliance with Heavenly Firmament Academy.

Liu Ruyan, who had narrowly escaped death at Qin Anlan's hands and was still lying on her sickbed, barely clinging to life.

Upon hearing this good news.

A smile, difficult to conceal, also appeared on her lips.

Freed from Qin Anlan, that simp, and shedding the label of Qin Anlan's fiancée.

She could finally be with her Senior Brother Ye Qingyun legitimately.

Damn you, Qin Anlan.

How dare you cripple my cultivation.

Steal my Phoenix Blood.

Strip me of my Spiritual Root.

This humiliation today, Liu Ruyan vows to repay a hundredfold, a thousandfold!

A never-before-seen hatred flickered in Liu Ruyan's eyes.

She believed her Senior Brother Ye Qingyun would surely avenge her.

Senior Brother Ye Qingyun possessed exceptional talent, a standout among the younger generation.

More importantly.

Senior Brother Ye Qingyun had an incredibly powerful master, known as the number one female expert at Heavenly Firmament Academy.

Not only was she devastatingly beautiful, but her power was immense, making her someone not to be trifled with.

Subduing Qin Anlan would be a simple matter.

Senior Brother Ye Qingyun was ambitious, possessing great ideals and aspirations, and even an unyielding spirit.

What did Qin Anlan have?

Besides a good family background and a handsome face.

He wasn't even fit to carry Senior Brother Ye Qingyun's shoes.

Liu Ruyan and the rest of the Liu family were still immersed in their joy, unable to extricate themselves.

Dark clouds gathered over the Liu family's estate.

A sudden mass of black energy rapidly approached the Liu family.

A blinding radiance instantly enveloped the entire Liu family.

Nine golden divine dragons soared into the sky, emitting dragon roars.

The Nine Dragon Bell.

A Pseudo Saint Artifact.

It was a treasure controlled by the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate.

Legend had it that the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo had once used the Nine Dragon Bell to suppress and annihilate a top-tier force.

Figures flickered around the Nine Dragon Bell.

Dozens of powerful auras were faintly discernible.

The entire sky was blotted out, blocking out the sun.

A powerful aura inspired awe.

The experts from the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate had arrived.

"Rats of the Liu Family, all of you get out here for this old man."

A muffled voice boomed through the air.

Like thunder from a clear sky, it deafened everyone below.

The members of the Liu Family had no idea what was happening.

They only felt their Blood Essence churning within them, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.

Many of the timid were already terrified out of their wits, trembling on the ground.

Some clever ones hid in door cracks and inside cabinets.

Muttering to themselves, "Don't see me, don't see me!"
