The rumors spread like wildfire throughout the city, and the reputation that the alchemist association had built for more than 1000 years started declining every day. The people in the city started talking about how the alchemist association was bullying the families with their power.

The answer to all these rumors came soon with a message from the association. This message said that they were not responsible for the start of the tournament and that the news that they had blocked the resources of the Li family was wrong. They even proclaimed that they didn't even know there was something like that and had no knowledge of it.

After reading the letter, the grand elder laughed loudly for a while. This means that the alchemist association cannot go back on their words and not give them resources. The first trap aside, he clenched his fists and sighed. However, now there was a tournament ahead. When they lose, they can only remain silent and wait for the other party.

Lu Yan looked at the content of the letter and looked at the boy sitting beside her. He played with the alchemists' association like a toy. She doesn't know how he was able to come up with all these plans. The intelligence she was proud of was nothing in front of this sly boy.

"Even if you stop the alchemist association, there is no way you can stop the tournament." What are you intending to do about that?"

Lu Yan laughed mockingly as she reminded him. In his heart, he sighed and was speechless when he heard her mocking tone. Beautiful women always hold grudges for a long time.

"I didn't want to play with them." But now that they are forcing me to oppose them, they can only face complete defeat. I didn't want to use force, but if I didn't do something about it, these dogs would keep barking."

Li Yang stood up and started walking to his hut, leaving behind a startled Lu Yan.

City Tower, east courtyard.

There was a sound of teacups falling on the ground, and a boy in white robes was clutching a piece of paper with hatred on his face. Yang Han had planned this for a long time. Here, the other party, whom he had never considered an enemy in his eyes, was opposing him. He felt that all his reputation was lost due to this.

If he had to report to the higher-ups that his plan had failed, he would face death. He gritted his teeth and called a servant over. He wrote something on a piece of paper and gave it to the servant.

A cruel smile formed on his lips as he looked at the Li family compound in the distance. He had planned this for a long time, and nobody dared oppose him. In the past, he never considered the Li family, and now he had to reevaluate his plans. He had to complete the task with minimal disturbance from the outside world. Now that they have dared to oppose him, blood should flow. The Li family should suffer. A powerful momentum gushed out of him, and the stones under his feet cracked from this force.

"You insects dare oppose me." I will show you what it means to face destruction. The whole younger generation is going to be crippled due to your arrogance

******************

Soon the days passed, and the day of the tournament arrived. The tournament was going to be held on a platform right in the center of the city. It was a very wide platform where two young emperors fought several years ago.

There were a lot of seats for the crowd built around the platform. Even though it was a bit early in the morning, there were a lot of people present. All of them looked at the Li family with sympathy in their eyes. It was not a secret that the younger generation of the Li family was not strong enough. There were two geniuses in the other families. From today onwards, there will likely only be two imposing families in the city.

The first to arrive was the Li family. The elder in front of them had wrinkles around his eyes, and one could see depression in his eyes. Today was going to be a day they wouldn't want to remember in the future. He could only sigh and hope that the younger generation could produce miracles.

The boy leading the younger generation of the Li family was a young boy. Arrogance filled his eyes as he gazed at the people around him in disdain. Li Zheng was waiting for the day. Today he was determined to beat all other opponents and show them that even with low cultivation he could beat all of them. He even had a Trump card hidden from others. When he stands on the stage and reveals himself, he will be worshipped by all the people around him. Thinking about this, a smile forms on his lips.

In the pavilion situated on the higher level, there was a girl dressed in a red robe. She looked below, and her searching gaze was focused on a boy in white. Not seeing him in the Li family pavilion Lu Yan twisted her lips in irritation

The guy had told her to come and watch the tournament if she didn't want to miss the show. She had come early, and now he was not here. All she could do was curse him in her heart.

Even though she felt irritated, there was something in her mind—an expectation that something big was going to happen today and she didn't want to miss it. She smiled and took a sip of tea.

"What are you planning to show me today?"
