Three months had passed since Li Shiming took up residence in the Wei Family's stronghold, and during this period, the Tie Clan and the Hu immortal family had used every trick in the book, yet they still hadn't managed to breach the stronghold's formation.
In a fit of rage, they set fire to the marketplaces outside.
After leaving behind a number of Qi Refining Cultivators, the two families left; however, once they were out of the valley, Li Shiming, through his divided soul, saw that they were lying in ambush just outside the valley, ready to launch an attack as soon as any cultivator from the Wei Family stronghold emerged to attack the Qi Refining Cultivators left behind.
Unfortunately for them, their plan was entirely ineffective. Li Shiming couldn't be bothered with them and let the few Qi Refining Cultivators stay in the valley.
