Powerful, and utterly mad!
In front of the screen, Li Wei was following the movements of the Giant Rock Spirit Jade Tribe while fast-forwarding time.
Even though they had prepared, Li Wei still felt nervous.
This battle was different from any the Li family had faced before.
This time, confronting the Giant Rock Spirit Jade Tribe was a war between races. Moreover, the entire tribe was unleashing its full strength, and their numbers were vast.
The Li family had never fought against the Wu Clan before.
He was preparing.
Fortunately, all the Li family descendants scattered outside were also preparing!
Li Wei looked at the scenes of his descendants one by one.
...
[Liu Family in Azure Cloud City]
A continuous stream of refugees poured into the city, seeking shelter at the Jun Prince's Mansion.
On the roof of the Liu residence, Li Tianyue watched all this with an expression of pity.
The gates of the Liu residence were tightly shut at this time.
Not long after, figures arrived from the Jun Prince's Mansion on the outskirts of the city.
They even brought, Li Kuangren, Feng Mi, and Li Changsheng, the whole family!
The men in black bowed to Li Tianyue. "Miss Tianyue," they reported, "we have completed our mission and brought back Young Master Kuangren and Miss Feng Mi."
Ignoring the confused looks on the faces of Li Kuangren's family...
Li Tianyue said softly, "Go back."
She glanced at Li Kuangren and his family and said with a smile, "Wait a moment. Your aunt will take you home."
After that, she slowly entered the main hall of the Liu residence. She glanced at Liu Yifeng, who was lying on the bed with his clothes disheveled, being attended to by four or five beautiful women, completely neglecting his duties. Her expression was complex. "Husband," she said, "I'm leaving."
"Get lost!" he retorted. "What does it matter to me where you go? Do you really think you're something special?"
Was this still the same Liu Yifeng, the foolish boy who used to obey her every word?
The Liu family's power in the city was growing, and he was now the head of the family. He could even obtain beauties more stunning than Li Tianyue herself!
He had obtained everything he desired, and now he felt nothing but disdain.
"Fine."
Li Tianyue took a deep breath and closed the door. Hearing the laughter of the beauties from inside, the last trace of kindness vanished from her eyes as she turned away.
The elders of the Liu family were gathered. One of them brought over a child and handed him to Li Tianyue.
It was a child born deformed. Years ago, due to Liu Yifeng's actions, Li Tianyue, who was pregnant with his child, had been kidnapped. Fortunately, she was saved by their ancestor, but the child was affected by the spiritual forces.
The child's legs were weak and powerless. He reached out his hands and smiled at Li Tianyue, making gurgling sounds, utterly adorable.
"Good child," Li Tianyue said with tender eyes, "come with Mother back to our family. We will build a new and even more powerful, more prosperous Liu family. We'll cure your affliction, alright?"
Li Tianyue's eyes were filled with love and tenderness.
The child smiled with pure joy.
Li Tianyue's gaze turned cold. Without even glancing at the bowing elders of the Liu family, she slowly walked forward, her voice icy. "Did you hear that?" she said. "My child has spoken. He will bring a better future for the Liu family."
"Yes, Madam."
The elders nodded slightly and entered Liu Yifeng's room.
A moment later, the bloodstained elders of the Liu family, along with numerous retainers, boarded the spirit shuttle with Li Tianyue and her child, heading toward the Li family estate.
Li Kuangren and his family were filled with happiness on the spirit shuttle.
Li Changsheng looked at his aunt's back as she held the baby, and he gulped. "Father," he said, "you didn't tell me that the Moon Fairy in the city was my aunt..."
Li Kuangren and his wife ignored their child's words.
The couple understood everything. They gazed deeply in the direction of the Jun Prince's Mansion and sighed.
...
[Swamp Forest]
Li Tianshuang, dressed like a member of the Wu Clan, her body covered in strange inscriptions, looked even more like one of them.
Beside her, Bai Rourou, Li Yaotie's wife, wore heavy armor.
Each of them rode a Demon King beast: a giant white eagle and an enormous crocodile!
"All those of the Swamp Forest, follow me back to the Li family!"
Behind them, countless demonic beasts surged, following the path of the Swamp King!
...
[Black Tortoise Sect]
Li Tianqi, carrying a tortoise shell on his back, held the ancestral tablet in his hands.
"Ancestor, assist me," he prayed. "This time, I will assassinate the priest."
He had just left the Black Tortoise Sect when Li Tianqi froze.
He saw his younger brother, Li Tianniu.
The handsome young master, Li Tianniu, was also holding an ancestral tablet. Behind him were... beautiful women?
"Elder Brother!"
Li Tianniu was extremely excited. "I'm bringing my confidantes home to help!" he exclaimed.
Li Tianqi glanced at the tortoise shell on his back, then at the thirty-six beauties behind Li Tianniu, all at least at the Foundation Establishment stage, with two even at the Golden Core stage. His expression turned sour.
While discussing their experiences over the years with Li Tianniu, they prepared to face the family's current crisis.
Li Tianqi occasionally glanced at the beautiful woman behind Li Tianniu.
He suddenly recalled his life spent constantly seeking thrills, dancing on the edge between life and death.
He let out a melancholic sigh.
"What have I been wasting my life on?" he wondered.
...
Inside a tomb, Li Tianyi, carrying two dried corpses, was chased out of the tomb by a group of ghosts.
A group of old men were clamoring in his mind.
"Tianyi, why are you running? Fight them!"
"Why are you in such a hurry?" one of the old men asked. "Didn't you used to refuse to leave until you had looted everything?"
"Have you finally remembered to return to the Azure Cloud Pavilion?" another questioned.
Like hell!
Li Tianyi gritted his teeth and, still carrying the two dried corpses, simply ignored the group of ghosts chasing after him and soared into the air.
He could feel the ancestral tablet in his bosom flashing!
His ancestor was summoning him!
"Grandpas," he pleaded, "you have to help me this time! Otherwise, our home will be destroyed!"
As he continued flying...
behind him... the original twenty-three old men had become...
Thirty-two!
...
Throughout the Azure Cloud region, the children of the fourth generation, like them, were returning to the Li family.
Beside each of them, the ancestral tablet glowed brightly.
They brought with them all the forces they had gathered over the years!
