"Uncle, it seems we can return to the family alive," Li Zhirui whispered through a secret voice transmission.
But if one looked closely, they would find that there was actually no smile in the depths of his eyes; instead, they were filled with worry.
The reason was that, with the birth of a Nascent Soul True Lord in Shen Leishan, their strength had risen substantially, and their attitude toward their vassal forces was likely to no longer be as friendly as before.
In the future, whether it was collecting tributes or summoning cultivators to fight, it would no longer be as lenient as this time.
The disciples of Shen Leishan would become arrogant, and if a few spoiled brats emerged, they might even bully others using their status.
The only consolation for Li Zhirui was that the Li family was far enough from Shen Leishan, tens of thousands of miles away, and should not be affected by it.
