Chapter 97: Cloudsea Pavilion
[Your descendant, Li Yunlin, has gained recognition from the Skyveil Sect and obtained the status of a direct disciple!]
"This kid, after being suppressed for twelve years, has he become so meticulous and calculating?"
Watching Li Yunlin, who had been punished with five days of confinement and reflection, carefully set up an altar within the Cliff of Self-Reflection and gently place his ancestral tablet upon it, Li Wei felt a surge of emotion.
He still remembered all that had happened before.
When Li Yunlin's mother was expelled from the family, he cried all night in his ancestral hall. Back then, Li Yunlin would come to his ancestral hall to cry every now and then, even on the day he was taken away by Elder Huolin.
And just look at his wild behavior earlier in the Skyveil Sect's grand hall, daring to draw his sword even when facing hundreds of experts.
He's like a true lone wolf, erupting after a period of silence!
"Ancestor."
After placing the ancestral tablet, Li Yunlin finally smiled, his eyes reddening, "Ancestor, I did it. Now, I have a firm footing in the Skyveil Sect and have inherited Master's legacy. I will attain the same status as Master within the sect and bring further strength to our Li family!"
His intentions are good.
However, Li Wei didn't consider the Skyveil Sect a trump card at all, not even an ally. When Li Yunlin was down and out, despite not making any mistakes, he was sentenced to five years of confinement. Now that Li Yunlin's talent has blossomed, even after committing a grave offense, he only received a five-day confinement.
In the end, it's all about interests. All feelings between factions are fake. But if even the feelings towards one's own people are fake, then... to be honest, Li Wei really dislikes this kind of hypocrisy.
However, being able to witness the growth of his descendants brought Li Wei peace of mind. He only hoped that Li Yunlin wouldn't be blinded by the momentary praise.
He then switched the view back to Green Valley Village, bringing news of Li Yunlin back with him.
The Li family members were also happy for Li Yunlin.
Next, as Li Wei observed Li Yaoqing, he furrowed his brow.
[Your descendant, Li Yaoqing, following the Skyveil Sect's disciple troop, has found the Thunder Fire Demon Cave!]
Li Wei immediately clicked on the map of the [Thunder Fire Demon Cave].
It's called a demonic Cave, but it doesn't look much different from an ordinary city. However, while the sky outside is clear, dark clouds gather above the Thunder Fire Demon Cave. Corpses and debris are scattered all around, leaving no blade of grass in sight. Moss covers the crumbling walls and ruins everywhere.
Li Wei clearly saw the hundred-strong demon-slaying team assembled, everyone frowning and wrinkling their noses, likely due to a foul smell emanating from within the Thunder Fire Demon Cave.
Just moments ago, it was calm and peaceful.
However, as two Foundation Establishment cultivators took flight on their swords, intending to survey the area with a compass-like spiritual tool, a red thread from the sleeve of one female cultivator extended into the Thunder Fire Demon Cave.
"Boom!"
Thunder roared as if a dragon were soaring through the dark clouds. Eerie ghostly flames rose from the ground all around the demonic cave.
They had no choice but to retreat.
The assembled group of one hundred, after several more attempts, finally retreated, unwilling to waste any more effort.
Li Yaoqing had been slacking off within the group, occasionally taking a look around the grassy areas near the demonic lair. Clearly, some unfamiliar herbs were much more approachable than these strangers.
"Ancestor, it seems we'll be staying here for a long time."
Li Yaoqing took out her token and gave a wry smile.
[The demon-slaying team has encountered difficulties. The demonic cave has been fortified for countless years, with remnants of formations and demonic barriers everywhere. Every plant and tree here is fraught with danger. Your descendant, Li Yaoqing, speculates that without the presence of a Golden Core expert, eradicating the demonic cultivators and finding the entrance to the underground lair could take years, if not decades.]
[The disciples of the Skyveil Sect are urgently seeking the assistance of formation masters, talisman masters, from various powers.]
Witnessing this scene, Li Wei didn't find it strange at all.
In the world of cultivators, Foundation Establishment is just the beginning. They can sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, utilize techniques, and fly through the air.
But once a faction possesses a Golden Core expert, it's a completely different story.
Their methods and abilities are countless.
Back then, if the Pig Demon King of the Silver Iron Forest hadn't insisted on guarding all of the Silver Iron Forest, Monk Shancai probably wouldn't have dared to touch even an inch of its territory.
As for human factions with Golden Core experts... they are even more formidable.
They possess thousands of years of heritage, far beyond what ordinary small factions can compare to. Who knows what kind of formations, spiritual treasures, or other hidden assets lie within their territory?
That's why the two major sects have been locked in battle for a hundred years.
Just as Li Wei was contemplating calling Li Yaoqing back and having the Li family lead their own expedition to the demonic cave...
A message on the screen startled Li Wei.
[Your family's assets in Tailin Town are under attack!]
[Special Event]
[The Cloudsea Pavilion from Azure Cloud City region, leading the three towns, six families, and two sects of Azure Cloud City region, has arrived in Sky Jade City region to plunder resources. Your location, Tailin Town, and Red Leaf Town are the first targets!]
Li Wei narrowed his eyes and casually instructed Yuexian to bring a refrigerator full of milk tea.
"Cloudsea Pavilion, is it? The grand stage of Green Valley Village awaits. If you have the guts, come!"
