NOVEL NEXT Chapter 87: Chaos Is Imminent
[Year 46th]
[Bai Rourou gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, after ten months of pregnancy. They were named Li Yunqian and Li Yunxing!]
[Congratulations! You have gained +30 Incense!]
Bai Rourou is definitely the most hardworking and meritorious daughter-in-law of the Li family. The cries of babies echoed once again in the delivery room. The midwife skillfully handed the two children to Li Dalong and his wife. The Li family was overjoyed beyond words.
"Ancestor, look at me! I've been blessed with two more children, much better than my eldest brother!"
Li Yaotie looked at the children in his parents' arms, their large size making him so happy that he spoke without thinking.
Li Yaozu glared at Li Yaotie, but he was already used to his third brother's recklessness. There was more hidden joy in his eyes than anything else, and he scolded with a stern face, "What kind of talk is that? Do you think just because we've grown up, I won't beat you anymore?"
"Ahaha, sorry, sorry! Just a bit overwhelmed with joy today."
Li Yaotie scratched his head.
Looking at the happy family on the screen, Li Wei took the opportunity to give each of them a "Love from the Ancestor."
"Time passes so quickly for them."
Li Wei's face was full of smiles.
Soon the scene changed, and the Li family was already holding a grand banquet to celebrate the arrival of the newborns.
Li Wei noticed that over the years, the Li family had made many friends, and the hall was filled with guests.
The Su and Chen families from Tailin Town, the Gu family, the Han family supported in Lantier Town, and other prominent families from other towns who have business dealings with the Li family all came with gifts.
Li Wei was just taking stock of the Li family's friends.
At this moment, words that were completely out of place with the joyous scene suddenly appeared in the event bar.
[Special Event]
[The two major sects behind the scenes of Sky Jade County, after many years, are once again in conflict. The situation has reached an irreversible point, and a great war is about to break out. Chaos is imminent.]
"???"
Li Wei was taken aback for a moment. He remembered that when Li Yunlin joined the Skyveil Sect, there was a prompt about the conflict between the Skyveil Sect and the Black Tortoise Sect. Li Yunlin's master also died in the conflict between the two sides.
These two sects seem to have a major fight every once in a while; they've been fighting for thousands of years.
However, he had always been focused on the development of his family and hadn't noticed that the outside world had become so chaotic.
Looking at the game screen, They were discussing this matter at the dinner table!
Chen Chuang shook his head and sighed, "Alas, the conflict between the sects will ultimately bring suffering to us families and even the common people.
"The head of the Gu family also had a worried expression."
I have a friend in the Skyveil Sect who told me some inside information."
"It all started when the two major sects obtained an ancient stele, learning that an ancient war had taken place around our Sky Jade City, where a Mahayana expert had fallen. This expert left behind some kind of treasure, like a heavenly coffin. So they found the ancient tomb and used magic to trigger the eruption of the tomb's grand formation, causing a severe drought that afflicted Sky Jade City and the surrounding cities and towns for nearly twenty years."
"They claimed to be searching for some heavenly coffin, but it turned out to be a joke. There was nothing in that ancient tomb except for the fart of an ancient mighty being, preserved for eternity by their great power."
"For the sake of a joke, they completely disregarded the lives of the common people and us. Now that the two sides are at war, how can we protect ourselves?"
"..."
Hearing this, the Li family members remained expressionless, but their hearts were already in turmoil!
Even Li Wei in front of the screen was the same!
"Holy sh... ?!?!?!"
In an instant, Li Wei understood!
No wonder Li Dalong found that mysterious spear in the Wild Boar Forest at the beginning of the great drought.
It's also no wonder that the Heaven-Piercing Coffin appeared.
"In other words, they searched in the wrong place and activated their power, causing the mysterious spear and the Heaven-Piercing Coffin, far away in Green Valley Village, to break through the ground one after another, and ultimately fall into the hands of our Li family."
Li Wei's scalp suddenly went numb.
Fortunately, both the Skyveil Sect and the Black Tortoise Sect believe that the ancient legend is false, and that they were tricked by the tomb of a powerful being. As long as we don't reveal anything, no one will suspect that the Heaven-Piercing Coffin is in the hands of the Li family!
"Phew..."
Li Wei let out a long sigh of relief.
He was now grateful for his caution in always having the Li family keep the secret of the Heaven-Piercing Coffin. Otherwise, if even a trace of it were exposed, the two major sects, who had been tricked by the ancient powerful being, would undoubtedly tear the Li family apart!
Soon, the banquet in the game interface came to an end.
The descendants of the Li family walked to the ancestral hall with worried expressions.
The most important thing at the moment was that if the two major sects were to fight, they would also be affected!
Li Wei clicked on the profile picture of the Violet Tempest Python and asked everyone for details.
He heard Li Yaowen say solemnly:
"Ancestor, for a long time, the twelve towns within the territory of Sky Jade City have been controlled by the two major sects. Sky Jade City is just one of their strongholds; each of the two major sects also dominates two other major cities in the region."
"For many years, Sky Jade City and its surrounding territories have been under the joint control of the two sects, with tax revenues divided equally between them. Now that the two sides are at war, I fear Sky Jade City will become a battleground in their conflict. The city government will likely lose control, and chaos will reign. We could be forced to serve the interests of either sect or become targets for those seeking to exploit the unrest."
"Patriarch Gu said that their conflict is irreconcilable. According to the ancient texts I've consulted, this war is likely to last for decades, or even a hundred years!"
Li Wei rubbed the mouse.
He could sense that the days to come would probably no longer be peaceful!
