Now, as soon as Yunlin emerges from seclusion, he will be the Sect Master of the Skyveil Sect.
Second Sister is in the Thunderfire Cave and the Demon Subduing Alliance. With Yunbing's help, it is the perfect time to gradually seize control of power."
"Father and Mother are also bringing back many corpses to transform into zombies, especially the body of Xuan Tianzi, a Nascent Soul expert. This will become a trump card for our family."
"The blood of these numerous experts will allow the Blood Frenzy Demon Lord to gradually recover, and our family's divine tree can also grow stronger."
"We also have many friends: the Cloudsea Pavilion, the Hundred Weapons Sect, many families in Tailin... What we need to do now is wait and gather more and more strength. When the time comes..."
"...we will become invincible throughout Azure Cloud region!"
This time, even Li Dalong didn't object. A glimmer of longing flashed in the eyes of the Li family members.
After years of wandering, they all longed to return home. Li Yaowen was right; the only way to go home was to carve a bloody path back!
"The Cloudsea Pavilion will help us manage the family. Our Kuangtu, from the 'Kuang' generation, is already eight years old. I will have someone send the fifth generation of descendants back to our ancestral home."
"We can gradually gather resources. As long as we don't truly reveal ourselves, no one will dare touch the younger generation of our Li family."
As expected of Li Yaowen.
Li Wei actually showed a doting smile towards the old-woman-like Li Yaowen. With her around, Li Wei always felt at ease, having to worry less.
Li Yaowen continued to give instructions to the younger generation of the Li family.
"Tianyue," she said, "you are the Eighth Young Mistress of the Liu family in Azure Cloud region's main city. You've done well in the Liu family these past years. Your next task is to help your husband ascend to the position of family head."
"Tianshuang, you control the demonic beasts in the Swamp Forest. I hear there are two Demon Kings dividing the territory within. Take them down, and the Swamp Forest will become a source of support for our family."
"Tianqi, I know you enjoy seeking thrills. Go to Black Tortoise Sect. Go as a descendant of the Li family, defeat all their geniuses, and beg them to accept you as a true disciple."
"..."
Hearing Fourth Aunt assigning tasks to his siblings one by one, Skyveilyi quietly took a step back, turned around, and stealthily prepared to slip away.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Li Yaowen called Skyveilyi over and whispered something in his ear.
Soon after, the Li family members bowed once again to Li Wei's ancestral tablet. Each taking a tablet, they scattered in all directions, leaving behind only the lingering smoke still rising and spreading from outside the Skyveil Sect.
It was imaginable that for a long time to come, the Skyveil Sect would be contaminated with radiation.
They would need to use their true energy and spiritual power to protect themselves whenever they left the sect.
Skyveilming watched in bewilderment as his family members decisively left. Only the table where the ancestral tablets had been placed remained, a testament to their presence.
"Hey! Fourth Aunt, it's me! You haven't given me a mission yet! I can do anything, really! I can even be like Tianniu and become a pretty boy!"
"...."
There was no response, not even a flicker from the ancestral tablet. A sound came from behind him, startling Skyveilming. Two daggers shot out from his sleeves as he swiftly turned and lunged towards the source of the noise.
His daggers were quickly caught between his fingers. Seeing the person who had made the noise, Skyveilming was stunned. "Drunken Madman?" he exclaimed. "What happened to you?"
Over the years, while killing people here and there, he had occasionally encountered the Drunken Madman. This old, wine-loving beggar always wanted to learn a few killing techniques from him.
But now, the Drunken Madman looked rather disheveled. His clothes were tattered, he was holding a bowl and chopsticks, both of his shoes were torn at the top, he was limping, and his entire body was stained with blood.
"..." The Drunken Madman was speechless for a moment. He couldn't very well tell him that he had been injured by the aftershocks of the weapon used by that mysterious person from the Li family while trying to join in the fun and was almost killed by Abbot Wuyou, who was fleeing for his life, could he?
In the distance.
Skyveilyi trudged along dejectedly with the twenty-three old men, like a resentful woman. "Ah!" he lamented, "I want to rob graves, I want to play the zither in those legendary pleasure houses, I don't want to go to the Azure Cloud Pavilion!"
Perhaps because he had spent his whole life taking care of his younger siblings, he also wanted to experience freedom. Unfortunately, Fourth Aunt had shattered his dreams.
The twenty-three old men were still laughing and chatting merrily.
"Tianyi, your Fourth Aunt might be a bit irascible, but she has a good eye for people."
"Hahaha, she's going to help you become the Pavilion Master of the Azure Cloud Pavilion! Our Azure Cloud Pavilion has a successor!"
"I could tell at a glance that the Li family is remarkable and reasonable. I was so afraid they would destroy the Azure Cloud Pavilion. Your Fourth Aunt is actually quite a decent person."
The twenty-three old men chattered on, while Skyveilyi, feeling utterly dejected, was speechless.
How could they know how those people outside viewed his Fourth Aunt?
He had wanted to refuse, to wander the world like his eldest uncle, wouldn't that be carefree? But Fourth Aunt had whispered to him that if he refused, she would take away his twenty-three old men and use their souls to replenish Great-grandfather's Heaven-Piercing Coffin...
