Five minutes later.
The Long and Hu brothers, who had come from the Azure Cloud City region and were even capable of exchanging twenty moves with a Golden Core cultivator before escaping, now plummeted from the sky.
[Under the relentless pursuit of the ancestral tablets, even their fervent combination techniques proved futile in destroying them. In the end, Kuang Hu was pierced through the chest by an ancestral tablet, and a dozen shadowy figures pummeled him into a pulp. Kuang Long, surrounded by the arriving Li family members, had his dantian crippled by Li Dalong and was captured.]
"Such might from the ancestors, even a Golden Core cultivator cannot match!"
Li Dalong, filled with awe, gazed at the ancestral tablets floating in the sky and led his descendants in kneeling and paying respects.
Witnessing this scene, Kuang Long, trapped by the magical artifacts, was already weak and delirious. "So... it's because of your ancestor? These ancestral tablets are controlled by a powerful being... In that case, I accept my defeat."
He knew that if the Li family dared to mention the word "ancestor" in front of him, they had no intention of letting him live.
He originally intended to commit suicide to avoid torture.
But then, the Li family's guardian spirit beast let out a hiss, and Li Dalong instantly understood something. He said in a cold voice, "Kuang Long, tell us everything you know."
"Just kill me," Kuang Long said with a scornful smile.
But his smile quickly faded as Li Dalong snorted coldly, "Of course, you can choose to say nothing and die with a clean conscience. But think carefully. if you can come to my Li family, my Li family can also go to your Dragon Tiger Sect. You wouldn't want your disciples to be wiped out, would you?"
Kuang Long finally relented, "I can tell you what I know, but you must agree to one condition: help me send a message, allowing the members of the Dragon Tiger Sect to escape."
"Alright."
Soon, The Li family members obtained useful information from Kuang Long and then threw him to the Blood Spirit Fruit Tree to be drained completely.
Afterward, Li Dalong tossed Kuang Long's corpse into the Death Coffin for refinement.
It's all about making the most of what you have.
After cleaning up the battlefield, the Li family members gathered in the ancestral hall, filling it with the smoke of incense.
"Ancestor, I am useless. If it weren't for your intervention, the Long and Hu brothers would have escaped." Li Dalong kowtowed repeatedly.
[You used 'Ancestor's Warmth' on your descendant Li Dalong, consuming 20 incense points.]
Li Wei took the opportunity to use the skill on Li Dalong.In truth, this wasn't Li Dalong's fault. The Long and Hu brothers lived up to their reputation, they were stronger than any fake Golden Core cultivator the Li family had encountered before.
If it weren't for 'Ancestor's Raging Fury,' it's uncertain whether they could have been stopped.
"This skill is truly powerful!"
Looking at the skill, Li Wei still felt a bit excited
Compared to its level one version, this skill is much more convenient to use. There's no need for mouse control at all.
One-click to activate, one click to track. The skill persists until the enemy is dead!
And the most terrifying thing is, When the skill is activated, every ancestral tablet carried by descendants within a kilometer radius adds +1 to the skill's effect, essentially summoning another peak Foundation Establishment cultivator's combat power!
"It's definitely worth it."
Li Wei suddenly felt that the 5000 incense points were well spent.
This special event quickly replenished his incense points!
[You led your family in protecting their homeland, displaying great power in this event. All members of the Li family witnessed your divine might.]
[Received incense points: 3000!]
Li Wei was relieved.
The family members had already begun reporting the information they had extracted from Kuang Long.
"Ancestor, this time, a total of ten factions came from the three towns of Azure Cloud City region. The remaining nine factions each have at least two peak Foundation Establishment cultivators in their ranks. They are acting under the orders of an elder from the Black Tortoise Sect to plunder a large quantity of spirit stones."
Li Dalong reported, "The most formidable one is the Cloudsea Pavilion. Their ancestor is a Golden Core cultivator, and their power has been passed down for two thousand years."
Li Yaoqing pondered, "The Dragon Tiger Sect's original plan was to destroy our Green Valley Village first, then Tailin Town. Within a month, the Cloudsea Pavilion will likely learn of the Dragon Tiger Sect's complete annihilation. We have one month to prepare. As long as no Golden Core cultivator appears, with the Silver Iron Forest backing us, we have nothing to fear."
"But now..."
She smiled, "Father, you said you would help the Dragon Tiger Sect send a message, and we should keep our promises. But once they flee, we can still kill them. The Dragon Tiger Sect's resources are also very important to us."Listening to his descendants discuss how to survive and seek development in this chaotic situation, Li Wei couldn't help but think their priorities were misplaced. The truly important matters, he knew, lay elsewhere.
He clicked on the portrait of the Violet Tempest Python.
He had the Violet Tempest Python emit a hissing sound.
Instantly, All the Li family descendants turned their heads to listen to the ancestor's teachings.
Li Yaotie's grown-up children didn't know the first thing about beast-taming techniques, yet their faces were still full of longing.
Li Yundou scratched his head and nudged Li Yunbing with his elbow, "Second Brother, what did the Ancestor say?"
Li Yunbing, with an innocent look on his face, replied, "The Ancestor told you to sow seeds."
"Huh???"
The corner of Li Yundou's mouth twitched.
Only Li Yunbing, still looking puzzled, asked Xu Cuihua, "Grandma, don't we have a lot of spirit fields? We have enough food, why do we need to sow seeds again?"
"..."
