As soon as these words were spoken, everyone collectively turned to look at Li Yunbing. The flames of war rekindled in their eyes.
They didn't know how strong the State Preceptor truly was, or how difficult it would be to kill Min Youguo, but they also saw hope. Before the negotiations begin, kill Min Youguo!
"Ancestor, please give your command!"
Many descendants knelt in the ancestral hall.
Looking at the screen in front of them, Li Wei clenched his fist. Raging Sky Flood Dragon's eyes were bloodshot as he issued the ancestor's directive——
[Become stronger in the shortest time possible!]
"Yes, Ancestor!"
All Li family descendants grinned. They were the Azure Cloud War Clan, and they stood at the peak of the Azure Cloud region! Since the ancestor's spirit manifested, they had protected this land generation after generation, driving out every enemy from their territory. Now, even though they faced more formidable foes, these were but mere trials and tribulations!
Behind them was the homeland they had to protect. Above them, the Ancestor was protecting them.
Min Youguo, that's all he is. They were not afraid!
[Special Event——Kill Min Youguo]
[Your descendants, despite being abandoned by those in power, still have not given up hope. Every single one of them is determined to become stronger in the shortest time possible to achieve the goal of saving their homeland, thus gaining the group trait——Unyielding War Spirit.]
[Before killing Min Youguo, the cultivation speed of your descendants is increased by 30%, and combat power is increased by 5%. Due to your descendant Li Yaowen continuously plundering luck from the Wu Clan, your family's chance of encountering fortuitous encounters during this event is increased, and the probability of breakthroughs is increased by 2%.]
"Thanks to the great State Preceptor, so far away in the capital, for sending this BUFF to my Li family."
Li Wei's voice in front of the screen was gloomy.
He was equally furious. A family business of over a hundred years, and Min Youguo, who popped up from who-knows-where, with just a word, wants to make his children displaced and homeless? What downward trend? All the regions on the border are fighting for their homeland, no one is retreating! Min Youguo, is he doing this to secure his position as State Preceptor, or is he truly worried about the nation and its people, just like his name suggests, who knows?
...
Three months later, the entire Li family clan had prepared cultivation plans, working harder and with more purpose than ever before.
Only by becoming stronger in the shortest time possible, just like the Ancestor said, would they have a chance to reach the heart of the Azure Dynasty, and find that State Preceptor Min Youguo.
Li Yunbing had already managed to dispatch Dawn Sparrows towards the Imperial Capital, in an attempt to gather some intelligence about State Preceptor Min Youguo.
At this moment.
Li Wei focused the screen on a prosperous land.
[Azure Imperial City]
The Azure Dynasty's territory is truly extraordinary. The city is enormous, yet ordinary people still live here. Even from high in the sky, one can see flying dragons, and the people seem to be accustomed to it.
"Worthy of being the Imperial City, Tsk~ the courtesan in those brothels are at the peak Golden Core stage?"
"Those eight things… a hundred meters tall, like small mountains guarding the Imperial City? And they're alive, Holy s..., I can't even see through their cultivation level."
"The ground is full of spirit arrays…"
Li Tianming toured the Imperial City, acting just like a country bumpkin.
Finally.
He arrived at a magnificent, gold, and jade-decorated mansion. Looking at the three characters [State Preceptor's Mansion]above it, the corner of his mouth slightly lifted, and he disappeared into the darkness.
Another full month passed.
In the State Preceptor's Mansion, an extra guard appeared.
[Your descendant Li Tianming has successfully become a guard in the State Preceptor's Mansion.]
Li Wei grinned as he looked at the screen. At this moment, Li Tianming was guarding the main hall inside the State Preceptor's Mansion.
Inside that main hall, there was singing and dancing. Two rows of Azure Dynasty officials in official robes were seated, with exquisitely beautiful servant girls attending to them. It was clear that the Azure Dynasty's border was still in the midst of war, and countless people were dying every day, yet they were indulging in this wine pool and meat forest!
This was also the first time Li Wei saw State Preceptor Min Youguo!
He was a very handsome middle-aged man, wearing black official robes, taking sips of wine. It was also at this very moment that Li Wei could see the small characters above Min Youguo's head.
"Grand Tutor Lin Jiu's northern expedition has been winning major victories all the way, this is a great fortune for our nation! However, my Southern Barbarian lands have repeatedly suffered setbacks. That place is already barren, and further plagued by the Wu tribe's incursions. Many forces in the Southern Barbarian region disobey the Imperial Dynasty's orders, and the Southern Barbarian people are un-blessed and worthless. Once this State Preceptor exchanges for ten thousand years of peace, ten thousand years later, when Grand Tutor returns, the Southern Barbarian region will still be the Azure Dynasty's territory!"
But as soon as his words fell.
Min Youguo and everyone present's expressions changed, the ground was trembling, and a terrifying aura was rising!
Throughout the entire State Preceptor's Mansion, all the experts appeared in an instant.
At this moment.
Underneath the State Preceptor's Mansion, a giant cylinder was burning fiercely.
Outside the State Preceptor's Mansion, Li Tianming calmly walked out, slowly taking off the guard's uniform, and muttered indifferently, "Hope this blast doesn't make you a total idiot, you old bastard."
"Rumble!"
Behind him, the State Preceptor's Mansion's array systems were fully activated. Firelight blasted cracks across the arrays, straight towards the sky, as if venting the anger of the 'Southern Barbarian lands' in Min Youguo's words!
This day.
People throughout the entire Azure Imperial City were watching the firelight soaring into the sky from the State Preceptor's Mansion, and above it…
A Heavenly Secrets Pavilion mark formed from smoke.
In a pavilion within the Imperial City, the firelight illuminated an old man's face, casting it in a fiery red. His brows furrowed deeply.
"Bastard, who is slandering my Heavenly Secrets Pavilion again?"
