03. Breaking off the engagement

Seeing the man's stubbornness and the audacity to insult the Li family, he was angry and prepared to step on the man's head until it was crushed. What the man had said had offended his shame all along, and even though what the man he had stepped on had said was true, for the head of the Li family, the help of the Long family now meant nothing, especially since his daughter had joined a third-level sect in the eastern continent.

"You don't know what's good, so don't blame me for your stupid actions."

"Stop there, Li Jun!"

As the head of the Li family was about to smash the man's head, a middle-aged man appeared and knocked Li Jun back. Seeing the man who so easily knocked him back, Li Jun was confused. How could Long Hu hit him so easily? Even though their strength is the same at the ninth level of the Body Tempering realm.

"Long Hu, it seems like you have improved a bit over the years."

"What are you doing here, head of the Li family?" Long Hu did not care about Li Jun's words right now. He just looked at Li Jun coldly. He had seen several dead youths along with the other Long Family guards.

The man who was kicked by Li Jun was helped by the elder who came with Long Hu, and the man was taken away to be treated by the Long family healer. When the elders realized that many of their family members were dying, their anger grew stronger. Even the Li family, who sensed the Long family's anger, became a little afraid, except for Li Jun.

"Why has the strength of the Long family suddenly increased? There are even some who have already reached the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm, and even the others are mostly at the eighth level!"

Li Jun was a little upset after seeing the strength of the Long Family. However, he regained his composure when he thought that his son was now at the fifth level of the body-tempering realm, so he was even more arrogant than before when he thought that his son was also at the third level of the sect.

There are several levels of sects in the Eastern Continent, and the third-level sects are among the most powerful sects in the entire Eastern Continent, because the leaders of these sects are in the eighth level of the Earth Realm, and there are even ancestors in the Heaven Realm. Although they are not as strong as the kingdoms or second-tier sects that have leaders in the soul or divine realms, they are still strong there.

"Long Hu, I have come here to immediately cancel my son Li Ziin's engagement to your nephew Long Chen, that trash. I hope you'll give me the engagement certificate."

When the elders and other members of the Long family heard that the Li family had only come because of the engagement between the families, they became angry. If that was all they wanted, shouldn't they have made such a fuss? And they shouldn't have killed or broken down the door of the Longhouse. It was clear that the Li family wanted everyone there to think that the Long family was weaker than their Li family.

"Isn't that good? The letter was signed by both my father and your father, especially since this is their wish, so you can't unilaterally break this engagement!" The other elders agreed with Long Hu's answer. What Long Hu said was true? If they decided unilaterally, especially in such a domineering manner, it would damage the reputation of the Long family.

"I don't care about that! I've heard news that my son has been spotted by a first-class cult. And my son is planning to be taken in by the elders there, so I hope you understand that my son and your nephew are like the earth and the sky!"

Li Jun said these words loudly so that the people there could hear clearly that their Li family would have big supporters from the third-tier sects. He also wanted to tell everyone there that his daughter was the only genius in Yulan City.

Of course, the people there heard that the Li family's daughter was lured into the first-tier sect by one of the elders who praised the Li family's daughter. Most of them looked at the Long family with disdain, and the first thing they thought was that the Long family wanted to climb up the Li family's ladder so that their family could be stronger than the current one.

In the Long family, many young people stared angrily at the Long family, and they knew very well what the Li family patriarch was planning to say to them loudly. Among the Long family, only Long Hu and a few elders were a little calmer, but they also felt like their hearts were about to jump out of their chests.

"I can make you a promise. Even though we are separated and no longer related. We will still be brothers, and we never interfere with your family's business or harm your family members. Now think about it! Do you want to end this engagement nicely or violently?" Li Jun arrogantly threatened the Long family in front of everyone watching outside the gates of the Long residence.

"Huh... I can't decide! Give us some time, and we'll ask Long Chen later. He isn't at home right now, so we also need time to look for him." Ling Hu replied with a heavy sigh. If it was still a third-tier sect, they would dare to go to war with the Li family. Unfortunately, the Li family's daughter Ziin would join a first-tier sect that was much more powerful than their current family.

"Hahaha, that stupid and futureless brat is a troublemaker! I didn't expect her to be so miserable, because of what happened three years ago."

"What do you mean?" Long Hu gave Li Jun a cold look after hearing Li Jun's words. He was now even more convinced that Long Chen's change was related to the Li family, or more specifically, Li Ziin.

Long Chen is the son of Long Hu's only brother. If it's true, Long Chen's change has something to do with the Li family. Then Long Hu would surely be angry because after all Long Chen was Long Hu's son.

"Did that boy ever tell you why he was like that? Hahaha, that boy loves my daughter to the point of defending her in front of you."

Li Jun was surprised by Long Hu's ignorance about the matter of Long Chen being injured and his meridian being damaged. He hadn't expected that the young man still loved his daughter even though she had betrayed him so cruelly.
