Just as Li Wei felt relieved about this, an unexpected notification window popped up.
[Your descendant Li Dalong had a pleasant conversation with Daoist Jiuyou, and the grudge between the Li family and the Skyveil Sect vanished like smoke. At Xu Cuihua's friendly suggestion, Daoist Jiuyou gladly decided that once Li Yunlin finished his seclusion, he would inherit the position of Sect Master!]
[Your descendant Li Yunlin has been lying low in the Skyveil Sect for many years, determined to climb to the top. Finally, unknowingly, with the help of his family, he has acquired a new identity — Sect Master of the Skyveil Sect!]
"Huh?"
Li Wei was momentarily stunned, then clicked on Li Dalong's icon.
Indeed, within the Skyveil Sect, Li Dalong and his wife were chatting and laughing with Daoist Jiuyou. Daoist Jiuyou readily handed over the position of Sect Master to Li Yunlin, who was still in seclusion.
Li Wei truly couldn't imagine what kind of mood Li Yunlin would be in when he emerged from seclusion.
Soon, Daoist Jiuyou escorted Li Dalong and his wife out of the sect.
As they passed by the main hall, the three of them paused.
Two figures, mangled and bloodied, came into view.
It was Xiao Huang and Qiuye, the ones pursued by the Li family.
But now...
Xiao Huang had completely descended into madness. She was actually biting and tearing at Qiuye's flesh, laughing foolishly as she ate. "Eat you," she mumbled, "eat you, and my child will come back!"
"Coward! I was actually foolish enough to fall for a coward like you!"
"Hahaha, Qiuye, we're going to have another child."
"...."
Xu Cuihua initially wanted to pull Li Dalong away, leaving the insane Xiao Huang to continue living in torment.
But Li Dalong shook his head. With a single stroke of his saber, he severed her and Qiuye's heads, placing them into his storage ring. He sighed and said, "Let it go. She was also used by others. May she enter reincarnation swiftly."
Daoist Jiuyou looked at Li Dalong with admiration.
The information he had obtained from intelligence reports was all about the Li family's brutal deeds. However, after conversing with Li Dalong, he could see that the Li family patriarch was, at heart, a man of deep loyalty and compassion.
He pondered for a moment, then asked, "Patriarch Li, about Zhen..."
"He's dead."
Li Dalong narrowed his eyes slightly, telling a lie. Only he knew that Sect Leader Zhen's soul, which he had thrown into the formation, would never be able to enter reincarnation. The souls of those who had died in the Azure Cloud region over the past seven years would eternally torment Sect Leader Zhen's soul!
"That's good, that's good."
Daoist Jiuyou sighed deeply.
...
After Li Dalong and his wife left the Skyveil Sect, the Li family members didn't linger. They gathered together and bowed before Li Wei's ancestral tablet.
Seeing the words of praise appearing one after another from his descendants on the screen, Li Wei straightened his back and puffed out his chest with pride.
Each of his descendants also had faces filled with pride.
They clearly remembered how dangerous those seven years in the Azure Cloud region had been. Everyone in the entire region was hunting them down, and they had to be vigilant at all times.
But now...
Thirty percent of the experts in the Azure Cloud region had been killed outside the Skyveil Sect. Two Nascent Soul cultivators were severely injured and fled, and one was captured.
From now on, anyone in the Azure Cloud region who wanted to harm the Li family would have to consider whether they had the strength to do so!
Those forces that had once hunted down the Li family would now live under the shadow of the Li family, constantly wary of when the Li family might strike back at them.
Li Wei could even guess that many factions were probably fleeing the Azure Cloud region now, leaving their homes with their families or seeking protection from more powerful forces.
"Ancestor, I believe it is not yet time to return to our ancestral home."
A line of text appeared above Li Yaowen's head, standing out starkly against the praises from her family members.
The Li family members suddenly fell silent, all eyes turning towards Li Yaowen. The family's ability to remain safe and sound these past seven years was largely thanks to her secret assistance.
Li Wei clicked on the icon of the Ancestor Hall Guardian Beast in the top left corner.
[Thunder Flame Fury Python]
[Please enter the message you wish to convey.]
In the Thunderfire Cavern, the Violet Tempest Python had long since completed its transformation. It was also due to the presence of the Demon King Thunder Flame Fury Python in this operation that the Li family was able to easily break through the sect-protecting formation of a Golden Core power.
As Li Wei typed on the keyboard, the Thunder Flame Fury Python's deep voice resonated, "Master wants you to explain your thoughts."
"Yes, Ancestor!"
Li Yaowen nodded slightly. "Ancestor severely injured Abbot Wuyou and Long Xuankong," she said. "They will definitely not let this go! There are twelve known Nascent Soul experts in the Azure Cloud region. If we return to our ancestral home, they will seize the opportunity to attack us."
Hearing this...
Li Wei nodded slightly. The Li family members all frowned, clearly aware that this great battle had not truly brought them lasting peace and security.
He typed on the keyboard, prompting Li Yaowen to continue.
Li Yaowen continued, "We should disperse. Only by controlling the entire Azure Cloud region can we achieve true safety."
