The Scene shifted to the Li family's residence.
He quickly informed everyone in the Li family of the news.
In the ancestral hall, the Li family members were already fully equipped.
Li Yaowen looked remorseful, "Ancestor, it was my negligence. I failed to receive any news of Azure Cloud City region's attack and had to rely on your great power to foresee the danger."
Li Wei gave Li Yaowen a dose of 'Love from the Ancestor.'
This matter shouldn't be blamed on Li Yaowen at all. In these chaotic times, how could the Li family have enough influence to monitor the Azure Cloud City region?
Li Wei clicked on the portrait of the Violet Tempest Python.
[If they dare to come, we'll make sure they never return!]
As the Violet Tempest Python relayed the command, the Li family members felt a surge of confidence and determination.
"Yes, Ancestor!"
Immediately, all members of the Li family, young and old, gathered in the ancestral hall. Each took an ancestral tablet and tucked it into their inner robe, then, with a valiant and spirited air, began preparing to face the impending trouble.
Li Yaowen had also made preparations beforehand, having the villagers of Green Valley Village dig cellars.
In this situation, the elderly, the weak, women, and children all took shelter.
Li Wei, in front of the screen, wasn't particularly nervous.
After the Li family finished their preparations, as time accelerated into the night, figures within Green Valley Village started bustling about, and a notification popped up in the game once again.
[Azure Cloud City region force has entered Sky Jade City region and is splitting up. They are organized and have a clear objective!]
[The Dragon Tiger Sect is approaching Green Valley Village!]
[They have long known that this village is not ordinary, fully aware that the Li family once single-handedly wiped out two major families. Although they have also heard accurate information that the Li family achieved that victory by persuading the Su family through despicable means, the Dragon Tiger Sect is still determined to give their all and fight a glorious battle in front of their comrades from Azure Cloud City region!]
Li Wei took a big sip of his drink.
"Your news is outdated, brother."
"Our family is already prepared to confront Golden Core cultivator."
In the game scene, the ancestral tablet is pulsating, emitting an even stronger purple light than before. There were even dark shadows appearing behind the tablet, throwing punches wildly!
.....
The scene changes to Green Valley Village.
Green Valley Village was very quiet at night.
Above in the night sky, clouds drifted past, faintly revealing two figures flying on swords.
These were the Long and Hu brothers from the Dragon Tiger Sect.
The two of them looked very much alike, both with robust physiques and rugged faces.
Kuang Long, his face covered in a thick beard, listened to the insects chirping in the forest surrounding Green Valley Village and observed the sparse wisps of smoke rising from the few chimneys into the night sky. He grew increasingly confident. However, he still waited cautiously for a long time until he saw someone patrolling the village at night, and the lights in every household gradually extinguished. Even then, he didn't feel completely secure.
"They're too wealthy, Brother Long. Can you believe this is a family power that only rose to prominence fifty years ago?"
Kuang Hu stared at the Li family's spirit fields below, shimmering with spiritual energy even in the night, his mouth watering. "Look, it seems they're all asleep. Let's quickly wipe them out! Once we get our hands on their loot, we can amass wealth and buy pills to attempt a breakthrough to the Golden Core stage!"
"Let's wait a bit longer," Kuang Long said, still doubtful. "Green Valley Village is too exclusionary towards outsiders. We've been scouting for a month in advance, and no one has managed to infiltrate the Li family's inner circle within Green Valley Village. Our intel on them is still incomplete."
"What's there to be uncertain about?"
Kuang Hu raised an eyebrow, "If you ask me, we've already seen through them! They just wiped out two families and got rich, right? Let me break it down for you: they have a large formation in their town, set up by a ninth-rank formation master. Their Black Blood Hall knows the Spear Forest Formation, but they're all just Qi Refinement cultivators..."
Kuang Hu practically rattled off the Li family's information as if it were second nature to him!
"And they have no clue that we're coming."
Kuang Hu continued, "With our strength, we can easily prevent them from even activating their formation, especially since the Li family only has one remaining powerhouse at the fake Golden Core stage, the Violet Tempest Python. Hehe, Brother Long, both of us are at the fake Golden Core stage, and with a century of cooperation, our combined strength far surpasses that of ordinary fake Golden Core cultivators."
"In my opinion, Brother Long, you're just being a bit too cautious."
Hearing this, Kuang Long, however, turned a deaf ear. It was precisely his cautiousness that had led the Dragon Tiger Sect, step by step, from a small sect to its current level of power!
Until late at night, Kuang Long's eyes finally lit up!
In the innermost part of Green Valley Village's vast territory, outside the Li family compound with its pavilions and terraces, a robust young cultivator emerged from the Li family's Martial Arts Tower and washed away his sweat in a pool.
Particularly within the Li family compound, He could see that the maidservants had gradually finished their day's work.
A man walked out of the Li family's master bedroom. Who else could it be but Li Dalong?
Kuang Long clearly remembered Li Dalong's appearance from the intelligence reports!
Immediately after, He saw Li Dalong walk into a rather mysterious house.
"Dong!"
The sound of a bronze bell resonated, seemingly adding a touch of color to the quiet night.
Immediately, tiny specks of spiritual light, emanating from the Li family's center, spread outward, encompassing the entire Green Valley Village!
"Hahaha, Little Hu, did you see that?"
Kuang Long excitedly patted his younger brother's shoulder and pointed to the vast expanse of shimmering spiritual energy hovering over Green Valley Village and its surroundings, visible through his Sight Enhancement. He laughed, "It's been too long since we've attacked anyone, you've almost forgotten! They're incredibly cautious, even in the dead of night!"
"This is the spiritual tool the Li family uses to detect intruders. I reckon it's a high-grade artifact. When they haven't activated this tool, they're at their most cautious, because all their defenses are likely still in place."
"Once they activate it, they'll actually let their guard down."
"As long as we breach their defenses with lightning speed, giving them no time to react, that's the most reliable approach!"
Kuang Hu looked at his delighted elder brother, finally convinced. "As expected of Big Brother."
Kuang Long opened his mouth slightly, taking a deep breath of the cold air under the moonlight in the high night sky.
The night was so beautiful that even his voice softened a bit.
"This Li family, by contributing to the rise of our Dragon Tiger Sect, will not have lived in vain, fading in the dust of history."
