The five Feng family ancestors also glanced at Li Yunlin, and seeing his lack of interest, they exchanged looks and smiles appeared on their faces.
They were, after all, the Feng family, representing the Prince's Mansion!
Now, fighting for the Azure Cloud region, they were still superior. These cultivators had to listen to them!
Even if Li Yunlin spoke, they could easily handle such a young man.
"Since that's the case..."
One of the Feng family ancestors, a smile on his face, was about to set the plan, but the words caught in his throat. Everyone's expressions changed to shock, and they all looked towards the outside of the hall.
"Such a powerful sword Qi."
Two streaks of sword light arrived from outside the hall. Riding on their swords, the two figures were both dressed in long robes, resembling banished immortals. The sword Qi emanating from them was incredibly sharp, and their sword intent filled the surrounding space.
The two of them stood arrogantly upon their flying swords, paying no heed to the gazes of the dozen or so Nascent Soul ancestors present, and looked down upon everyone from their elevated position.
Li Yunlin, who had been sitting cross-legged, his eyes lit up with joy. He quickly rose and bowed towards the young man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes on the left, "Father!"
Then, he bowed to the other person, "Greetings, Senior Tianxing."
If Li Yaozu's sword Qi could be described as relentlessly sharp, then Sword Saint Tianxing's sword intent was aloof and solitary.
This Sword Saint Tianxing, dressed in a white robe, with his arms crossed over his chest, was truly a handsome man. Seeing Li Yunlin greet him, his thin lips curved slightly upward. "You are Brother Yaozu's eldest son. Your aura is not bad, but it's a pity you don't cultivate the sword."
Having said that, his gaze drifted to the ceiling of the hall, ignoring everyone.
Li Yaozu nodded slightly to Li Yunlin, gesturing for him to sit back down. He nodded in acknowledgment to the many Nascent Soul ancestors who had already greeted him, then finally looked towards the five Feng family Nascent Soul ancestors and said calmly, "Esteemed seniors, I have come here on my father's orders to bring you some unfortunate news. Prince Feng Qingyang suffered a cultivation deviation and died suddenly."
"What?!?"
The many Nascent Soul ancestors stared with wide eyes. Feng Qingyang was dead, and they hadn't even received any news.
The five Feng family ancestors frowned. When they had left, Feng Qingyang was no longer the family head, it had been left for Feng Qingyang and Feng Chunlin to resolve it themselves.
Now, hearing Li Yaozu say this, they could generally guess that the Li family had likely also taken action.
But... what could they do?
"The Feng family and the Li family are in-laws. I also feel deeply apologetic that such a thing has happened."
Even though Li Yaozu was clearly the only one speaking, the brat was getting impatient with his own words. "Now that the five seniors have ordered Feng Chunlin to succeed as the new Prince, I, representing the Li family, have come especially to offer congratulations. The congratulatory gifts have already been sent to the Prince's Mansion. I've said what I needed to say. The five seniors should consider this carefully."
"...."
The five Feng family ancestors raised their heads, their expressions displeased.
What do you mean they ordered Feng Chunlin to succeed as the new Prince? They had only just learned of Feng Qingyang's death!
What "consider carefully"? This was a threat, a blatant threat.
Li Yaozu hadn't said much, but the implication in his words was clear: if they didn't agree, they would be joining Feng Qingyang in death!
They looked at the surrounding Nascent Soul ancestors, and their expressions turned even uglier. Everyone's faces held an expression of intense, knowing amusement.
And then there was Li Yunlin, that brat still had his eyes closed. In his left hand, a black object with chipped edges appeared – it was the Skyveil Hall, and it was spinning.
It seemed to say that, at a single word from his father, he would launch the first strike to annihilate the five Feng family ancestors right here and now!
"Hahaha, Your Excellency Sword King is too kind. The Feng and Li families are in-laws; we are one family. There's no need to consider, no need to consider."
The Feng family ancestor's expression was amiable.
Li Yunlin retracted the Skyveil Hall into his body. The many Nascent Soul ancestors who had been watching the show shook their heads in disappointment, which irritated the Feng family ancestors to no end.
"Good."
Li Yaozu didn't say anything further. He glanced at Sword Master Tianxing, and the two of them turned their flying swords and departed.
As they reached the entrance of the hall, Li Yaozu paused, and without turning his head, said, "Oh, by the way, esteemed seniors, if my son Yunbing causes any trouble, I ask for your understanding."
Arrogant and insolent!
Watching the two swordsmen depart, the many Nascent Soul ancestors of the Azure Cloud region all felt Li Yaozu's overbearing attitude. The five Feng family ancestors, in the end, didn't dare to say a word, as if Li Yaozu hadn't even been there.
But everyone knew that Li Yaozu's visit was an order from the Li family, a declaration of sovereignty to everyone. They wanted to tell everyone that this era.
Was surnamed Li, and every single one of them had to accept this fact, even the high and mighty Feng family was no exception!
At this moment, Li Yaozu and Sword Saint Tianxing were leaving the border of Azure Cloud region, heading towards the Endless Forest.
"Brother Yaozu, on this expedition, I fought alongside your family's Yaowen against a Wu Clan tribe. Thanks to her assistance, I was able to defeat a Nascent Soul Great Priest.
I was hoping to thank her properly. Do you know where she is now? Would it be possible to see her?" Sword Saint Tianxing's eyes darted around, and he fidgeted with his hands behind his back, somewhat nervous.
"Hmm?"
Although Li Yaozu was devoted to his cultivation, he nevertheless detected the unusual expression and tone in Sword Saint Tianxing's words. His face darkened. "My fourth sister's whereabouts are unpredictable. I don't know where she is either. The purpose of this journey is for you and me to continue our duel. Brother Tianxing, it's best not to let other matters distract you. Otherwise, if I win unfairly, it would be unfortunate to injure you, Brother Tianxing."
With that, Li Yaozu gave a cold snort.
No wonder Sword Saint Tianxing had been so slow to leave the Azure Cloud region, sticking to him like a leech.
So that's it! I treat you as a brother, and you want to be my brother-in-law?
