On the path from the Long family to the Li family in the Azure Cloud region, Long Xuankong approached with the Long family disciples in a grand procession. They were aboard a massive flying ship, with Long Xuankong himself and all the family's Golden Core cultivators present!
He held a compass in his hand. This compass was the one obtained from Yu Xian in the cellar.
Within the compass, red dots were moving around.
The compass represented all the directions within the Azure Cloud region, and the red dots represented the individual members of the Li family.
At this moment, he suddenly burst into laughter. "Hahaha! Interesting, how interesting!"
Hearing Long Xuankong's laughter, all the members of the Long family couldn't help but smile as well.
They knew clearly what Long Xuankong meant. As long as they killed the Li family members, they could seize the Li family's destiny.
What "era of the Li family"? From now on, the Azure Cloud region will no longer be called the Azure Cloud region. It might as well be renamed "Long Clan region"!
This was a battle for the fate of their clan.
He even saw that all the Li family members, seemingly having received the news in advance, were rapidly converging within the Azure Cloud region. He had no doubt that this was the work of Li Yaowen, the Lord of Dawn.
But suddenly, Long Xuankong's smile faded. Among the Li family members who were originally converging, a few unusual red dots were moving in the opposite direction!
"How dare they come out?" he thought, bewildered. "Something's not right. How could they possibly dare to show themselves? They should be tucking their tails between their legs, scurrying around with their heads down under the encirclement of our nine forces, desperately seeking help!"
Now, he didn't even know whether he should lead his clan members back or continue toward the other sects to join forces.
"Stop!"
Long Xuankong's mind froze. Within the compass, the Li family members moving in the opposite direction were still charging forward, seemingly fearless. The other Li family members had already gathered together, then vanished in a chaotic manner.
Some red dots were moving towards him, getting closer and closer.
In an instant, he was once again reminded of the terror he felt during that explosion outside the Skyveil Sect.
His mind raced in confusion. "Impossible," he thought, "the Li family couldn't possibly have another one of those weapons crafted by a divine artisan, could they? Otherwise, none of us would have escaped that day."
"Did they learn of our plans and gather the two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Skyveil Sect and Black Tortoise Sect, intending to defeat us one by one?"
"No, could it be that the Li family possesses another high-grade magical treasure, or that they have other mysterious experts hidden elsewhere?"
"I..."
Long Xuankong, his face filled with bewilderment, started leading his clan members back home!
He began sending messages to the other factions.
It seemed everyone else was doing the same. Then, gradually, he could no longer receive any messages.
But the Li family members were getting faster and faster, closing in on their Spirit Weapon flying ship.
Until...
"What is that thing?!"
Long Xuankong stared at the compass, his scalp tingling as he saw the red dots moving erratically, their numbers even increasing.
"What the hell is this compass?!"
Long Xuankong's eyes widened in fury. He viciously crushed the compass in his hand. The red dots within it numbered in the tens of millions, covering the entire compass and staining it red. "A fake compass?!" he roared. "Everyone, return home immediately!"
As soon as he finished speaking, mocking laughter echoed from all directions in the sky.
"Long Xuankong," a voice taunted, "you don't really think that it was my Li family who was hiding in fear all these years, do you?"
"All along, it was you, Long Xuankong, who cowered in your home, afraid to come out!"
"You can't forget that explosion at the Skyveil Sect. You're terrified."
"We told you long ago, my Li family is the true ruler of the Azure Cloud region!"
"Today..."
"...we will wipe out your Long family completely!"
