In a courtyard on the Lan family's land, this courtyard was arranged by the Lan family for Yang Qi. According to the agreement, Yang Qi must protect the Lan family for ten years unless he encounters an irresistible powerful enemy.

Yang Qi's perception rushed towards the stone tablet. As his perception touched the stone tablet, he immediately felt a strong resistance. That resistance prevented his perception from penetrating into the stone tablet.
After realizing this, a thought flashed through Yang Qi's mind, "No wonder the Lan family's ancestor couldn't see the secret inside the stone tablet. The effect of this stone tablet in resisting perception is so powerful."
The resistance is not weak. Practitioners below the Martial Emperor level may not be able to penetrate into the stone tablet at all. In the eyes of practitioners below the Martial Emperor level, this stone tablet is probably an imperceptible stone tablet.
Even if it was a Martial Emperor, it would be difficult to penetrate the stone tablet's means of resisting perception. You have to know that Yang Qi is now at the peak of the two-star Martial Emperor, and with the powerful soul power, his perception is stronger than many three-star Martial Emperors. But after contacting the stone tablet, he still felt a strong resistance. It is conceivable how difficult it is for a one-star Martial Emperor like the ancestor of the Lan family to penetrate the depths of the stone tablet.
“It’s really something special!”
As Yang Qi's perception continued to penetrate, he immediately discovered that in the depths of the stone tablet, there was a strange aura. This aura was not the aura of a strong man, but a sealed aura!
"A seal that combines the power of the soul!"
Yang Qi's eyes focused. Deep inside the stone tablet, there was a seal, and this seal was not an ordinary seal. Ordinary seals were either formed by Yuanli or soul power, but this seal was a combination of Yuanli and soul power.
After carefully sensing the seal, Yang Qi's eyes focused and he frowned slightly, saying, "This seal is not weak. I wonder if I can break it."
It was sealed deep inside, at the level of a three-star Martial Emperor. Under normal circumstances, with Yang Qi's strength at the peak of a two-star Martial Emperor, it would be impossible to break it. However, Yang Qi's soul power far exceeded that of a cultivator at the peak of a two-star Martial Emperor, and his strength had long reached the level of a three-star Martial Emperor, so there might be a chance for him to break the seal.
Thinking of this, Yang Qi immediately carefully mobilized his Yuanli and soul power, rushed towards the stone tablet, and began to break the seal deep inside the stone tablet according to the sensed position.

After an unknown amount of time, a strong soul fluctuation dissipated from the stone tablet, and Yang Qi came back to his senses from his concentration, with a hint of fatigue on his face.
Looking at the stone tablet in front of him, Yang Qi's face showed a hint of helplessness. "It will be much more difficult to penetrate the stone tablet and crack the seal. I'm afraid I will have to try a few more times."
Yang Qi did not break the seal inside the stone tablet in one go. Although the seal was not too complicated, it was not easy to break. Even Yang Qi had to try his best. However, even so, the first attempt ended in failure.
Yang Qi immediately sat cross-legged to recover his consumed energy and strength. After his energy and strength were restored, he tried to break the seal on the stone tablet again.
…
Just as Yang Qi was in seclusion trying to break the seal on the stone tablet, three practitioners gathered in the void outside the Lan family's territory. These three practitioners were all at the Martial Emperor level, and the leader was a two-star Martial Emperor in the early stage.
The leading two-star Martial Emperor early stage cultivator raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Brother Zhao hasn't arrived yet?"
"Brother Zhao just sent a message not long ago. He should be here soon." An old man in a gray robe said.
Hearing this, the leading two-star Martial Emperor's face darkened and he said coldly, "We wasted a lot of time waiting for him. Now the Lan family is well prepared and has a two-star Martial Emperor at the peak of their powers. This time, it will be much more difficult to deal with the Lan family."
"Brother Chen seems to be somewhat dissatisfied with me?"
At this moment, a sudden voice was heard from the void, and then a figure flew over and appeared in everyone's sight.
Looking at the newcomers, the leading two-star Martial Emperor said calmly, "I dare not express dissatisfaction, but we have wasted so much time. If the Lan family secretly transfers their assets, the harvest this time will probably be greatly reduced."
"Since Brother Zhao Huai is here, let's start right away." The gray-robed old man quickly changed the subject.
Zhao Huai is the only three-star Martial Emperor among the four. Although he is only a cultivator in the early stage of three-star Martial Emperor, his strength is far above theirs. And although Chen Tong is only in the early stage of two-star Martial Emperor, it is said that he has the support of a three-star Martial Emperor behind him. Neither of them is someone they can afford to offend.
Seeing this, another cultivator immediately spoke up, "Brother Mu is right. Now that everyone is here, let's get started first, lest something unexpected happens later."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Huai and Chen Tong didn't say anything more. With a flash of their bodies, four figures immediately rushed towards the cultivation world where the Lan family was located.
The four of them who are at the Martial Emperor level are enough to deal with the top leaders of the Lan family. As for those shrunken practitioners, after they break through the Lan family, other practitioners will naturally be responsible for encircling and killing them. As for now, the elites under their command will not take action to avoid suffering unnecessary losses.
“Brother Zhao, the Lan family has a new two-star Martial Emperor-level cultivator…” the old man surnamed Mu said as he looked at Zhao Huai standing aside.
Zhao Huai heard this, a look of disdain flashed across his face, and he said coldly, "He's just a two-star Martial Emperor peak cultivator, leave him to me."
Although he was only at the early stage of the three-star Martial Emperor, he had been at the stage for quite some time and was considered a strong man among those at the early stage. For him, dealing with a cultivator at the peak of the two-star Martial Emperor would be a piece of cake.
…
In the training room, Yang Qi was concentrating on breaking the seal of the stone tablet. After several attempts, he was confident enough to break the seal inside the stone tablet. As long as the seal was broken, he would know what secrets were inside the stone tablet.
Boom!
At this moment, a loud bang was heard from the sky, and then a terrifying power erupted. Under the terrifying power, Yang Qi woke up immediately.
"Oh no, the Lan family's protective formation has been broken!"
Yang Qi, who had just woken up in shock, noticed the changes in the outside world and his face changed. The Lan family's protective formation that could withstand a two-star Martial Emperor was actually broken directly. The cultivator who took action was very likely a three-star Martial Emperor.
Whoosh~
Thinking of this, Yang Qi's figure flashed and he immediately rushed out of the training room. At the same time, four powerful auras appeared in his perception, one of which reached the level of the early three-star Martial Emperor, and the remaining three auras also reached the Martial Emperor level.
Sensing the four Martial Emperors, Yang Qi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Four Martial Emperors, they really think highly of the Lan family!" (To be continued)
