[The Li Family Estate]

  A cultivator arrived from the dire of the city. He went to Feng Mi's courtyard. After hearing the information from the cultivator, Feng Mi's face turned pale, and she stumbled towards the Li family's main hall.

  "Kuangren, Kuangren..."

  She had inally wao find her husband, but the moment she stepped into the main hall, she saw that Li Dalong and his wife were already seated in the seats of honor. Li Kuangren g his wife and shook his head.

  The Prince's Mansion had been sealed off for two years, and no one knew what had happened. But today, the great formation sealing the Prince's Mansion opened!

  The Li family had been paying close attention all along.

  "My brother, he..."

  Feng Mi k down, "He lost the fight for the position of the family head, and he's gone missing. Please, I beg you, help me find him. He's the st family I have left. My father won't let him get away with this."

  Li Dalong and his wife exged a look.

  Xu Cuihua went forward and helped Feng Mi to her feet. Her expression was gentle, "Mi'er, e, we o talk to you about something."

  ...

  Upon the Hundred Mountains, the masked man slowly removed his mask.

  "Feng lin."

  As his true face was revealed, the temperature above the Hundred Mountains seemed to drop. Li Yaowen murmured his name under his breath, and the eyes of everyone from the Li family widened in shock.

  The family had opped iigating the Feng family. As for Feng lin, they had gathered every piece of information about him, even knowing how many sons he had and how many women he kept outside. They k all like the back of their hand.

  But who could have imagihat the current leader of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, which had been fighting with the Feng family in the Azure Clion for over a huhousand years, was actually Feng lin!

  This father and son of the Feng family were pletely uo see through each other, despite being together day and night.

  At this moment, Feng lin was looking at the people of the Li family with a wry smile.

  The entire sky fell utterly silent, only the sound of the wind remained.

  Feng lin tossed away his mask. He heaved a long sigh, then simply tossed his ste ring to Li Tianyi. I was the 'Rootless Soul Soil' that he had painstakingly obtained.

  At this moment, he seemed to have cast off all his burdens. He waved his hand freely.

  "I've lost. Spare my life, in-ws, I still be of use."

  Hearing this, Li Tianyi looked towards Fourth Aunt, and seeing her nod, he dispersed the barrier. His pradually dissipated.

  Feng lin, who was in the sky above, did not make a move, nor did he flee.

  He, who had once groveled before Feng Qingyang like a dog in the Feng family, now stood tall and upright. He was now free of any burden.

  "This isn't the pce to talk. Let's go down and talk."

  Li Yaowen smiled faintly at Feng lin.

  ...

  "Spt."

  The milk tea in Li Wei's hao the ground. After a while, he picked it up and drank it. There was still a little left.

  [Your family has captured the masked man of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion!]

  Ihe cave-dwelling, Feng lin's voice was low.

  "The Heavenly Secret Pavilion is far more plex than you imagine. Even I only know about the bran this region city. It was because a deceased aor of mine, when I was a hundred years old, left me the legacy of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion."

  "What?!?!"

  The expressions of the Li family members ged once again. To allow the direct desdant of the Prince's Manor to succeed the Heavenly Secret Pavilion in the Azure Clion, what kind of logic was this?

  Feng lin smiled, "Surprising, isn't it? When my aor told me, I was just as surprised."

  He tinued, sighed deeply, "My aor also said that if I dared to betray them, the Feng family would face the full force of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion's revenge. We might even have to face cultivators at the Deity Transformation stage. Year after year passed, and for the sake of the Feng family's survival, I had no choice but to accept the Heavenly Secret Pavilion's missions. I've never eve my direct superior."

  "Over the years, I've developed many, many members: Pavilion Master Yu Xian of the Azure Cloud Pavilion, Elder Qiu Li of the Skyveil Sect, an elder of the Bck Tortoise Sect..."

  As Feng lin he members of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion in the Azure Clion one by o became increasingly shog.

  Among them, Elder Qiu Li was the one who had helped Li Yunlin back then.

  "Many years ago, I received a mission."

  Feng lin said in a deep voice, "They said the opportunity to destroy Azure Clion had arrived. Acc to their mission, I was to inform the Wu d the major powers of Azure Clion, ing them to besiege your Li family."

  "That was the first time I resisted carrying out a mission. I didn't want to see the Azure Clion be destroyed. I had even made pns to reveal everything and have my father take the members and flee."

  For some unknown reason, The members of the Li family could sehe immense burden and pressure hidden behind these seemingly lighthearted words. The Heavenly Secret Pavilion had cultivators at the Deity Transformation stage. Even if they fled, where could the Feng family possibly go?
