"But it's in Qingyun Town, when those powerhouses come to search for the Li family's treasures and find nothing, they might destroy the Li family in frustration. What I'm talking about is relocating for ten or twenty years. Once things settle down, we can return to Qingyun Town. As for having nowhere to go, that's simple. Everyone has relatives and friends, right? Just seek refuge with them, and once things have settled, return to Qingyun Town," Li Lin said lightly.

  "Lin'er, although your plan is feasible, with the clan members scattered, wouldn't it be even more dangerous? If those powerhouses come searching for the Li family treasures and find nothing, they could easily locate our clan members," Li Zhong worriedly said to Li Lin.

  "Those powerhouses coming to search for the Li family treasures, even if they don't find them and see that the Li family members have evacuated, won't just give up after seeing ordinary members of the Li family; they'll only look for the clan leader," Li Lin said lightly.

  Upon hearing this, the Li family members understood. If someone came looking for the Li family, the first person they would seek out naturally would be the clan leader, not the ordinary clan members.

  "Lin'er, what about the Zhao family? This time, the Zhao family has suffered a great loss, and they probably won't let us off easily," Li Dong said.

  "The Zhao family has suffered heavy losses, with most of their elite gone, and Zhao Wuji seriously injured. They are too busy dealing with their own problems to worry about us. For the time being, the Zhao family won't be able to do much to the Li family," Li Lin said.

  Hearing Li Lin's words, everyone felt that they made sense and began to discuss. Under the discussion of the Li family members, all clan members decided to scatter and leave the Li family, returning to Qingyun Town after fifteen years.

  Everyone was clear that after this incident with the Li family, soon enough, many forces would come rushing over, including the Lingwu Realm and the mysterious family where Li Bei was. After discussing, they decided to prepare to leave that very day.

  Li Lin sighed inwardly, thinking that dispersing the Li family members was undoubtedly the best way to protect the Li family and minimize the dangers they might face. The powerhouses attracted by the treasures wouldn't be a problem, as rumors suggested that the Li family also had an absolute powerhouse. They would be afraid to act rashly, but the Lingwu Realm, the Zhao family, and others might seek revenge. Spreading out the Li family members would also minimize losses.

  After dispersing the Li family members, Li Lin guessed that those coveting the Li family's treasures, especially the Zhao family, the Lingwu Realm, and the people from the Du Gu family, would most likely target his father Li Zhong and himself. After all, he had already been involved in this matter, and it was very possible that these forces would guess that the treasures were in his possession, making him a target for those powerhouses.

  When the Li family elders and others dispersed, only Li Zhong, Li Xi, Li Dong, Li Wushuang, Mrs. Huang, Mrs. Chen, and Li Lin were left in the hall.

  "Fourth brother, what are your plans?" Li Zhong asked Li Xi.

  "Third brother, I plan to temporarily visit Shaoxiong's grandfather's home. It's quite far from Qingyun Town, and Shaoxiong has been staying there lately. After fifteen years, we can come back, hoping that by then, this matter will have passed," Li Xi said.

  "That's fine," Li Zhong immediately asked Li Dong, "Big brother, sister-in-law, what are your plans? Do you have a place to stay?"

  "We plan to stay at my mother's home for fifteen years. I haven't returned for a long time, and now is a good opportunity," Mrs. Huang said to Li Zhong.

  "Wushuang, do you want to go back with your mother?" Mrs. Huang asked Li Wushuang.

  "Mother, I promised my master that I would return to the Yunyang Sect for more training. I'll go to the Yunyang Sect," Li Wushuang said.

  "Lin'er, what about you? What are your plans?" Li Dong asked Li Lin.

  "Uncle, I'll see when the time comes. I'll have a place to go," Li Lin said, though in his heart, he had already decided to return to the ancient domain. It wouldn't be long before many powerhouses would be looking for him, and he would have to return to the ancient domain. On one hand, to avoid those coveting the Li family's treasures, and on the other, he was supposed to return to the Flying Spirit Sect. Two years had passed, and now that he had obtained the Ten Thousand Year Red Copper and the Fleeting Shadow, along with the secret alliance with the Yunyang Sect, it was time to develop the Flying Spirit Sect.

  However, Li Lin was also troubled by one thing at the moment. He had initially planned to take his mother to the ancient domain, but now, with this situation, having his mother by his side would be much more dangerous. Yet, it seemed his mother had nowhere else to go, which made Li Lin quite distressed.

  Although Li Lin wanted his mother to stay with him for convenience in taking care of her, it was now impossible.

  "Third brother, what about you?" Li Dong then asked Li Zhong.

  "I..." Li Zhong hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll see when the time comes."

  "Father, why don't you accompany Mother to the Yunyang Sect?" Li Lin looked up and asked.

  Everyone immediately turned their attention to Li Lin, as if surprised by his suggestion. Li Zhong's gaze brightened as he looked at Li Lin, clearly moved.

  "You plan to send your mother to the Yunyang Sect?" Li Zhong asked Li Lin.

  "I would be relieved if Mother went to the Yunyang Sect. If you could go too, that would be even better," Li Lin said lightly. Sending his mother to the Yunyang Sect seemed like a decision Li Lin made after much consideration. Given his current situation, sending his mother to the Yunyang Sect was the best option. Although Zhao Wuji was there, Li Lin had nearly dealt with all of his supporters, and Zhao Wuji wouldn't dare to act rashly at the Yunyang Sect. With Hong Ling and his master there, his mother's safety wouldn't be a concern. As for sending his mother to the Yunyang Sect, with a word from Hong Ling and considering his relationship with the Yunyang Sect, there definitely wouldn't be a problem. If his father Li Zhong could go too, it would undoubtedly be even better.

  "Your mother going to the Yunyang Sect is definitely a good idea. But you're still in danger now. It might not be long before we, father and son, become the target of many people's searches. Don't you plan to go to the Yunyang Sect?" Li Zhong looked at Li Lin, still emotionally stirred by Li Lin calling him "father."

  "I have my own place to go. It won't be easy for anyone who wants to harm me," Li Lin said lightly. Going to the ancient domain, he believed, would make it difficult enough for people to find him. Moreover, with the old poisoner and the Ghost Fairy in the Flying Spirit Sect, along with Bai Ling by his side, he had a small power base. Unless it was a martial king powerhouse, he wasn't afraid of ordinary people.

  "By the way, Lin'er, who exactly is Uncle Jiang? Has he been teaching you cultivation since you were young?" Li Xi asked. Hearing about Uncle Jiang, the Li family members turned their attention to Li Lin, understanding the shock Uncle Jiang had given them. They had never dreamed that a servant who had been with the Li family for over thirty years could be such a powerful individual.

  "Sort of," Li Lin said lightly.

  "Lin'er, we owe Uncle Jiang a lot this time. Why don't you take us to thank him?" Li Zhong said.

  "Father, there's no need for that. Uncle Jiang doesn't like crowds. I'll thank him," Li Lin said, knowing Uncle Jiang wouldn't care about the Li family's thanks.

  The others then inquired about Uncle Jiang, but Li Lin didn't say much. It wasn't that he was intentionally hiding anything; he himself didn't know much about Uncle Jiang's background.

  After a while, everyone started to prepare for their departure, reluctant to leave Qingyun Town for fifteen years.

  Li Lin returned to his courtyard and discussed sending his mother to the Yunyang Sect with Yun Hongling. Yun Hongling naturally had no objections, even feeling overjoyed. Having grown up without a mother, although she had not spent much time with Lady Rolan, she had felt a mother's love, making their relationship special.

  However, learning that Li Lin didn't plan to go to the Yunyang Sect made Yun Hongling quite upset. She insisted on following him wherever he went. Li Lin had to assure her he would visit the Yunyang Sect soon to appease her.

  Li Lin then found his mother and discussed sending her to the Yunyang Sect. Lady Rolan was worried about Li Lin but agreed after he assured her he would be safe.

  In the afternoon, the Li family began to disperse their servants, giving each three years' wages, while the Li family members reluctantly left, each with their own feelings of reluctance.

  The Li family, numbering in the hundreds, scattered in a chaotic and noisy departure. Li Dong, Li Xi, and others became even busier, as the Li family had many businesses and shops to manage, which couldn't be arranged in a single day.

  This dispersal of the entire clan was undoubtedly a significant impact on the Li family, but it was a necessary measure for the safety of the Li family.

  At night, under the peaceful night sky, in one of the Li family's courtyards, a young man with a dazed expression sat on the ground, rolling around, his hair messy. This was Li Shaohu, who had been rendered an idiot.

  "Ah!" Li Zhong sighed softly in the hall.

  "I spared his life, and that was already my limit," Li Lin's figure appeared in the hall, his gaze sweeping over Li Shaohu on the ground without any pity.

  "But he is still your brother," Li Zhong said softly.
