Through years of careful cultivation, the Li family had made countless friends.
Among them were those like the Gu family, who had been working with the Li family for many years, engaging in the dirty business of plundering the two sects to strengthen their own families. There were also those like the Cloudsea Pavilion, who, after befriending the Li family, gradually discovered the immense benefits of the Li family's Blood Spirit Fruit and the five types of elixirs that enhanced the younger generation's aptitude. And there were those like the Silver Iron Forest, who had faced annihilation but were saved by the Li family's grace.
They all went to great lengths to gather intelligence for the Li family.
More than a dozen spirit stones, each containing information, floated in the air. The details of the Pig Demon King's murder appeared before Li Dalong and his wife, Huang Xiujin, and the drunken madman in the hall.
As the full picture became clear, although Li Dalong struggled to remain calm, the throbbing veins on his forehead betrayed his inner turmoil.
In front of the screen, Li Wei, who was drinking water, crushed the glass in his hand, and shards of glass fell to the ground.
...
[Your family has obtained intelligence, triggering a special event: Elder Qiuye's Revenge.]
[Twenty years ago, Li Yunlin, accompanied by Elder Qiuli, exterminated the Su family. This led to Elder Qiuye losing his allies, and his other forces were also completely divided up during his twenty years of imprisonment in the dungeon.]
[For the past twenty years, he has been tirelessly investigating that incident. Although the Li family handled it flawlessly, there are no impenetrable walls in this world. From the Gu family, who had seized a portion of the Su family's power, he discovered that the Li family was the mastermind behind the Su family's annihilation.]
[Elder Qiuye remained silent and concealed his intentions. Instead, he went to the Azure Cloud Pavilion to seek out his lifelong companion, Xiao Huang'er, to plot and scheme. He eventually reached a hidden realm and met with Xiao Huang'er of the Azure Cloud Pavilion, revealing everything to her. However, the Pig Demon King, who was searching for materials in that hidden realm, witnessed their meeting.]
The information received was not just in written form.
In the intelligence report sent by a major sect, a video clip was also included.
It showed Elder Qiuye and a stunningly beautiful woman chasing after Old Pig in the clouds!
Although he possessed the power of a peak Golden Core cultivator, Elder Qiuye didn't use his full strength, merely toying with Old Pig as he pursued him.
Xiao Huang'er was at the mid-stage Golden Core realm, dressed in a red palace attire. Her face was exquisitely beautiful, but her attacks were ruthless and merciless. Behind her, a phoenix manifestation wielded a hundred-meter-long blade shadow with a heaven-burning momentum, striking again and again.
Old Pig didn't fight back at all. Everyone could see his stubborn determination as he fled, desperately trying to escape towards the Li family. They also realized that the Pig Demon King knew he couldn't escape. He focused all his power on his flight speed. If he had chosen to defend himself, he might have had a better chance of survival, but he still chose to flee. He was determined to bring the news back to the Li family!
It was a brutal and arduous journey. No one knew how many times Old Pig was struck, nor could anyone comprehend the unwavering belief that sustained him until he reached the Sky Jade region under Xiao Huang'er's relentless assault.
In the final moments of the scene, it was Elder Qiuye who stopped Xiao Huang'er, allowing the Pig Demon King, who had burned his soul to the point of near-death and certain demise, to fall into the forest near Tailin Town.
"That's why the game notification for Old Pig's death indicated 'sacrifice' instead of 'casualty.'"
Li Wei wiped the glass shards from his lips. The objects in his room were stirred by his unconsciously released spirit power.
So, when Old Pig encountered Li Tianyi, he was already dead. It was his final surge of willpower that allowed him to utter those words, "Take me home."
He didn't want to see the children one last time; he wanted to deliver a message to the Li family: the enemy is coming!
Disaster is imminent!
"Xiao Huang'er... No matter who you are in the Azure Cloud Pavilion, I will bring the children of the Li family to find you."
...
"Qiuye, Xiao Huang'er, Azure Cloud Pavilion!"
Li Dalong narrowed his eyes, muttering the names like a wild beast growling through clenched teeth.
Then, he destroyed the spirit stones.
Huang Xiujin, no longer in the mood to entertain the drunken madman's antics, turned serious. "Azure Cloud Pavilion. Brother Dalong, Sister-in-law Cuihua, this matter...Aii..."
He let out a sigh, understanding that further words were futile. The Li family wouldn't let this go.
The drunken madman seemed to have suddenly sobered up. "Do you all know what's most important for the existence of an era?"
Seeing everyone looking at him, the drunken madman murmured, "Memories."
"The Azure Cloud Pavilion represents the memories of the Azure Cloud region. Before the Azure Cloud region was given this name, the previous era here was also called the Azure Cloud Ten Thousand Mountains. In that era of war and chaos, the Azure Cloud Pavilion was established and even became the last remaining power. The survivors of the Azure Cloud Thousand Mountains were all under the protection of the Azure Cloud Pavilion."
"After the war, the survivors of the Azure Cloud Pavilion emerged from the mountains one by one and settled here, giving rise to Azure Cloud region and its current 24 districts."
"The earliest traditions of this era originated from the Azure Cloud Pavilion and were born because of it."
"Generation after generation, the experts of the Azure Cloud Pavilion have fallen, leaving a gap in their ranks. Their most powerful member now is only at the Golden Core stage. But I must tell you the truth: killing a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator is easy, but making an enemy of a bygone era... is very difficult."
The drunken madman cupped his hands in farewell. "I'll take my leave. The decision of what to do rests entirely with the Li family."
With that, he ascended on a cloud and departed.
