Li Pengcheng's method was to kill someone with a borrowed knife, using the blades of the Shenjian Sect and the Hehuan Sect.
Didn't both the Hehuan Sect and the Shenjian Sect want to kill Li Xiaoyao and be done with it? It would be perfect to leverage their strength, look for an opportunity, and then when a flaw was found, strike down Li Xiaoyao in one fell swoop.
But if it was in front of them, then he would avoid using force if possible, and even if he did make a move, it would have to be from the shadows.
Otherwise, once the news of the Li Family members killing each other got out, not to mention how outsiders would perceive the situation, just getting past his father Li Chengfeng would be an insurmountable obstacle.
...
Li Xiaoyao successively found five people, and fortune was on his side, as all five turned out to be disciples of the Xuan Sect.
