These Nascent Soul Realm powerhouses, despite their strong cultivation levels, had youthful faces.

Reaching their level of cultivation, changing one's appearance was a very easy thing to do.

"Ancient Li Family?"

Several people furrowed their brows slightly, and the Northern Alliance's Underworld King said in a cold and ghostly voice, "No matter what Ancient Li Family, hand over the fruit immediately, and I'll let you live."

Li Chaotian's smile slightly receded from his face, his biggest concern being that these old fellows wouldn't give the Li Family face.

However, at this moment, only a Northern Alliance Underworld King had spoken; the other powers from ancient sects hadn't yet said a word.

"What about the Li Family, they've only sent a protector here. As long as we don't harm their lives, the Li Family will definitely not go to war over such a trifle."

The elders nodded slightly, with interests at stake, who would care about who you are.

When Li Chaotian heard their conversation, his heart sank, and he said, "Elders, the Seventh Elder of my Li Family is on his way, please give the Seventh Elder some face."

"Hmph, what is Li Yu to talk about giving face, ask him if he dares to take that face!" Elder Chen said abruptly, waving his sleeve, and a tyrannical spiritual power flew out of his sleeve, causing the sea below to burst into waves.

Li Chaotian's expression changed, his brows furrowed.

The Seventh Elder Li Yu had cultivation at the peak of the Spirit Condensation Realm, but his status in the Li Family was higher than Li Chaotian's. He was one of the twelve Elders of the Li Family, representing the Li Family.

He had thought these people would give the Li Family some respect, but it seemed he had expected too much.

The allure of this gigantic spirit of grass and trees was enough to make them choose to stand against the Li Family.

"Elder Chaotian, let me handle this matter," Li Xiaoyao suddenly said.

Li Chaotian frowned and said, "Don't speak."

Li Xiaoyao shook his head, feeling somewhat helpless. He didn't want to burden the elders. Besides, this kind of situation wasn't one where more people could solve the problem.

"Whoosh!"

Another sound of breaking through the air was heard, and upon hearing this sound, everyone knew that another Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse had arrived.

The elders all looked over, and the cultivators below also followed the sound and looked.

This was a man in black, with black pupils and short hair like steel needles, his eyes were cold and devoid of emotion.

"Master!"

Zhen Jie on the fishing boat saw the newcomer and his face was filled with joy.

"Ling Tian!"

The elders, upon seeing the man, showed a trace of surprise in their eyes.

"Wouldn't have thought that even someone from the military of Xuan Country has come!"

"Ling Tian, this name sounds familiar?"

"Are you an idiot, it's Ling Tian, the top person in the Xuan Country military!"

"So it's him!"

"It's said that this Ling Tian has the strongest cultivation talent in the Xuan Country military in recent years. At only forty-eight years old, his cultivation level has already broken through the Nascent Soul Realm."

"Truly terrifying. When it comes to the speed of cultivation, even the ancient sects seem pale in comparison."

```

"Nonsense, haven't you thought about it? That's a genius built up by Xuan Country's entire army with huge resources. How could he not be formidable?"

The appearance of Ling Tian triggered a wave of discussion among the cultivators. Ling Tian's reputation was simply too great; thirty years ago, when he was just eighteen, he was still an ordinary person.

An ordinary person without any exposure to cultivation who reached the Nascent Soul Realm in a mere thirty years – this rate of cultivation was nothing short of defying the heavens.

One could say that Ling Tian was a legend. From an utterly average person, he became the army's number one genius within thirty years, all starting from scratch.

Ling Tian's fame was not just widespread in the military; even the entire cultivation world and the ancient sects knew of such a cultivation prodigy in the Xuan Country's army.

Young, talented, swift in cultivation, and powerful in cultivation level – these factors combined naturally made him the spokesperson for the military.

Ling Tian's gaze swept across the faces of the Ancient Sect's elders and the leaders of some forces like Yunhui, finally resting on the Elemental Spirit, bringing a hint of color to his otherwise indifferent face.

"Elemental Spirit!" Ling Tian's lips tilted into a smile, but the smile disappeared as quickly as it had appeared.

"Why don't I see the Spirit Fruit?" Ling Tian's gaze shifted to the Ancient Sect's elders and others, asking coldly, "Where's the Spirit Fruit?"

"Humph!" The Elder of the Ancient Sect felt somewhat annoyed and said, "Have some respect! Even the Military Governor has to treat me with courtesy when he sees me. You're just a junior, how dare you speak to me with such a tone?"

Ling Tian sneered, "In the path of cultivation, respect is given to those with higher achievements. You want to discuss status with me?"

"You!"

"Master, we fought for hundreds of Spirit Fruits, but most of them were taken away by Li Xiaoyao!" Zhen Jie shouted from below.

"Li Xiaoyao?" Ling Tian furrowed his brow in thought, "This name sounds familiar."

"I remember now." Realization flashed in Ling Tian's eyes, and his gaze turned cold as he stared at Li Xiaoyao, "If I'm not mistaken, you're that genius from the Xuan Country Li Family."

Even in the face of the military's top genius, Li Xiaoyao showed no hint of fear, nodding slightly, "Yes, it's me."

Seeing this, the other Elders frowned, saying, "Ling Tian, do you intend to monopolize the Spirit Fruits? Humph, don't think you can be so arrogant just because you're backed by military power!"

Ling Tian scoffed, "The Li Family of Xuan Country is my friend. Did you get my approval before you made a move on him?"

"Your approval? What are you even worth? You really think I wouldn't dare touch you just because you have the army behind you?" Elder Chen of the Sword Sect laughed angrily.

Ling Tian didn't even bother to look at him, speaking to Li Xiaoyao from a position of superiority, "Give me the Spirit Fruits, and I'll ensure your safety."

Li Xiaoyao looked at him with a sly gleam in his eyes, this Ling Tian was indeed a conceited fellow.

"No need," Li Xiaoyao stated bluntly.

Ling Tian raised an eyebrow in frivolity, a few strands of killing intent flashing in his eyes. For all these years, no one had dared to refuse him to his face.

At that moment, the atmosphere became somewhat tense, and nobody, including the onlookers, expected Li Xiaoyao to refuse Ling Tian so decisively.

"Ling Tian, it seems this kid doesn't respect you," Elder Chen said with schadenfreude while laughing.

"As for the Spirit Fruits, let's rely on our own abilities then," the King of the Northern Alliance said in a deep voice, booming like thunder; upon finishing his sentence, he turned into a streak of lightning, lunging at Li Xiaoyao.

"King of Darkness, it's not quite polite to attack someone from Xuan Country in front of us!" Elder Chen's eyes gleamed fiercely as he immediately gave chase.

The other Elders also transformed into afterimages, rushing toward Li Xiaoyao.

Ling Tian stood still, watching Li Xiaoyao rapidly being surrounded, his eyes brimming with killing intent.

"If you don't want to drink a toast, you must drink a forfeit," he muttered to himself. Ling Tian's right hand, hanging beside him, slowly clenched into a fist; his figure blurred, he exploded with a piercing sound, vanishing from the spot in an instant.
