[The Li Family Estate]
A cultivator arrived from the direction of the city. He went to Feng Mi's courtyard. After hearing the information from the cultivator, Feng Mi's face turned pale, and she stumbled towards the Li family's main hall.
"Kuangren, Kuangren..."
She had originally wanted to find her husband, but the moment she stepped into the main hall, she saw that Li Dalong and his wife were already seated in the seats of honor. Li Kuangren glanced at his wife and shook his head.
The Prince's Mansion had been sealed off for two years, and no one knew what had happened. But today, the great formation sealing the Prince's Mansion opened!
The Li family had been paying close attention all along.
"My brother, he..."
Feng Mi knelt down, "He lost the fight for the position of the family head, and he's gone missing. Please, I beg you, help me find him. He's the last family I have left. My father won't let him get away with this."
Li Dalong and his wife exchanged a look.
Xu Cuihua went forward and helped Feng Mi to her feet. Her expression was gentle, "Mi'er, come, we need to talk to you about something."
...
Upon the Hundred Mountains, the masked man slowly removed his mask.
"Feng Chunlin."
As his true face was revealed, the temperature above the Hundred Mountains seemed to drop. Li Yaowen murmured his name under his breath, and the eyes of everyone from the Li family widened in shock.
The family had never stopped investigating the Feng family. As for Feng Chunlin, they had gathered every piece of information about him, even knowing how many sons he had and how many women he kept outside. They knew it all like the back of their hand.
But who could have imagined that the current leader of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, which had been fighting with the Feng family in the Azure Cloud region for over a hundred thousand years, was actually Feng Chunlin!
This father and son of the Feng family were completely unable to see through each other, despite being together day and night.
At this moment, Feng Chunlin was looking at the people of the Li family with a wry smile.
The entire sky fell utterly silent, only the sound of the wind remained.
Feng Chunlin tossed away his mask. He heaved a long sigh, then simply tossed his storage ring to Li Tianyi. Inside it was the 'Rootless Soul Soil' that he had painstakingly obtained.
At this moment, he seemed to have cast off all his burdens. He waved his hand freely.
"I've lost. Spare my life, in-laws, I can still be of use."
Hearing this, Li Tianyi looked towards Fourth Aunt, and seeing her nod, he dispersed the barrier. His power gradually dissipated.
Feng Chunlin, who was in the sky above, did not make a move, nor did he flee.
He, who had once groveled before Feng Qingyang like a dog in the Feng family, now stood tall and upright. He was now free of any burden.
"This isn't the place to talk. Let's go down and talk."
Li Yaowen smiled faintly at Feng Chunlin.
...
"Splat."
The milk tea in Li Wei's hand fell to the ground. After a while, he picked it up and drank it. There was still a little left.
[Your family has captured the masked man of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion!]
Inside the cave-dwelling, Feng Chunlin's voice was low.
"The Heavenly Secret Pavilion is far more complex than you imagine. Even I only know about the branch in this region city. It was because a deceased ancestor of mine, when I was a hundred years old, left me the legacy of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion."
"What?!?!"
The expressions of the Li family members changed once again. To allow the direct descendant of the Prince's Manor to succeed the Heavenly Secret Pavilion in the Azure Cloud region, what kind of logic was this?
Feng Chunlin smiled, "Surprising, isn't it? When my ancestor told me, I was just as surprised."
He continued, sighed deeply, "My ancestor also said that if I dared to betray them, the Feng family would face the full force of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion's revenge. We might even have to face cultivators at the Deity Transformation stage. Year after year passed, and for the sake of the Feng family's survival, I had no choice but to accept the Heavenly Secret Pavilion's missions. I've never even met my direct superior."
"Over the years, I've developed many, many members: Pavilion Master Yu Xian of the Azure Cloud Pavilion, Elder Qiu Li of the Skyveil Sect, an elder of the Black Tortoise Sect..."
As Feng Chunlin named the members of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion in the Azure Cloud region one by one, it became increasingly shocking.
Among them, Elder Qiu Li was the one who had helped Li Yunlin back then.
"Many years ago, I received a mission."
Feng Chunlin said in a deep voice, "They said the opportunity to destroy Azure Cloud region had arrived. According to their mission, I was to inform the Wu Clan and the major powers of Azure Cloud region, inciting them to besiege your Li family."
"That was the first time I resisted carrying out a mission. I didn't want to see the Azure Cloud region be destroyed. I had even made plans to reveal everything and have my father take the clan members and flee."
For some unknown reason, The members of the Li family could sense the immense burden and pressure hidden behind these seemingly lighthearted words. The Heavenly Secret Pavilion had cultivators at the Deity Transformation stage. Even if they fled, where could the Feng family possibly go?
