At the foot of Azure Cloud Mountain, the Azure Cloud Martial Pavilion.
This was the place where Li Tianyi had once massacred the young generation of geniuses in the Azure Cloud region, creating a gap in their ranks. Now, talented youths gathered here once more.
Lofty arenas, made of unknown materials, numbered about a hundred. They floated ten meters above the ground, and the swirling snow was repelled by them.
Within the clouds, a woman dressed in luxurious attire sat upon a high seat, gazing down at the geniuses below.
Beside her, a steward pointed at the numerous geniuses on the ground and said, "Miss, look, that's a genius from the Azure Cloud Pavilion. I hear he's only forty-four years old this year and has already reached the fake Core Formation stage."
"And look over there," he continued, clicking his tongue in admiration. "That's a genius from Starfall Region. I hear he once survived two moves from a Golden Core cultivator."
"And that person over there," he added, "he comes from a small family. He was rejected from a marriage proposal, but later, step by step, he reached the fake Core Formation stage. It's said he has countless hidden trump cards and will soon break through to the Golden Core stage. He even has the potential to reach Nascent Soul."
The steward's words annoyed Feng Mi, but she was already numb to them, turning a deaf ear completely.
She continued to watch the many talented youths gathered at the Azure Cloud Martial Pavilion, searching, searching for the figure that haunted her dreams.
That day, she had watched her beloved leave with tears in her eyes. She was waiting, waiting for Li Kuangren to return and bring her home.
Finally, her eyes reddened visibly, her slender hand covering her mouth as tears streamed down her face.
A deep voice resonated from the sky!
"Amitabha."
"With geniuses gathered here, such a grand occasion, this poor monk wishes to test his skills. Besides my Li family members, who else dares to call themselves a genius?"
In the distance, two lotus platforms, one black and one white, descended from the clouds. Li Kuangshi and Li Kuangcai, dressed in black and white monastic robes, approached with their palms pressed together. They resembled monks from a temple, their expressions filled with compassion, yet their words brimming with arrogance!
The expressions of the many geniuses changed.
They could sense that these two were not ordinary individuals, or perhaps it was the three words "Li family members" that were extraordinary!
No one could forget the fear that Li Tianyi instilled in them after he massacred an entire generation of geniuses.
And this generation, they were still terrified of the formidable auras of these two individuals.
Another sound came from the distance!
"Hahaha! Kuangshi, Kuangcai? What are you doing here?"
A lovely young woman, riding on the back of a ferocious tiger, her pigtails flying behind her as the tiger roared, laughed wildly. "Who needs you?" she exclaimed. "I, Li Kuanghua, have arrived! If Uncle Tianyi could massacre a generation, I also want to see what this generation is capable of!"
"If you're scared, scram!"
"This place belongs to the Li family!"
Li Kuanghua's wild shouts caused the expressions of the many geniuses to change once again. Some even silently slipped away.
"Sister! That's too reckless! We agreed to keep a low profile! You guys... Sigh, as long as you win, it's fine. But what if we get surrounded and attacked?" Li Kuangtu followed closely behind, riding a donkey on the ground. He looked up at his elder siblings in the sky, his face darkening.
The people around them, hearing Li Kuangtu shout "Sister!", scattered in a panic. Li Kuangtu struggled to rein in his runaway donkey, gritting his teeth. "Stupid donkey," he muttered, "how can you be such a useless spirit beast???"
What is fear?
With all four members of the Li family's fifth generation present, the entire Azure Cloud Martial Pavilion, despite being filled with thousands of people and constant noise, fell silent. Only the shouts of the Li family members could be heard, along with the sounds of a few so-called geniuses discreetly making their escape, terrified of being noticed by the Li family!
Feng Mi, high in the sky, saw it.
A familiar figure, riding a majestic eagle, soared through the clouds towards them. It was—
Li Kuangren!
The current Li Kuangren, having shaved his stubble and donned new clothes for this occasion, gazed deeply at Feng Mi, who was seated in the sky. He gave her a gentle smile, concealing the longing in his eyes.
His eyes were cold as he directed the giant eagle to circle the Azure Cloud Martial Pavilion once before flying to the center of the pavilion.
"You think you can steal my wife from me?" he declared.
"Get out within the time it takes an incense stick to burn!"
"Otherwise, none of you will leave this place!"
At this moment, the fifth generation of the Li family revealed their sharpness!
