"But my father's words relieved me."

  Feng lin ughed self-depregly, "I could never see through him. That day, I secretly leaked a bit of information, telling him that if he protected the Li family, everything would be resolved. He was very fident. He told me that the Feng family had to bee a pyer in the game."

  As he spoke, two trails of tears ran down Feng lin's face.

  His voice gradually turned into a low growl.

  "I believed him, so I carried out the mission step by step, even killing that troublesome traitor Yu Xian. I thought he had a foolproof pn, hahaha, a ughable foolproof pn! He only had selfish motives!"

  "Do you know what he said?"

  "He said he wao wait, maintaining a delicate bance, a all the experts of the various powers in Azure Clion fight until they were exhausted! He was well-prepared. The neighb Starfall Region was also preparing. They were all waiting to up the mess. My father exhausted the family's wealth aly promised Starfall Region thirty pert of the taxes for the housand years."

  "Even if things went wrong, he could still escape. He is a Prince, a noble of the imperial court. He could beg the Emperor to grant him new nds to develop."

  The members of the Li family could see Feng lin's breakdown.

  Just imagine, if Li Dalong suddenly turned into scum one day, the kind of scum who would abandon even his own family to achieve his goals, how devastated would they be? For a moment, everyo a chill run down their spines.

  At this moment, Feng lin was in tears, "Two years ago, I could no longer bear it. I also took off the disguise I had worn for many years and fronted my father directly."

  "I revealed everything to him. I wao bee the new family head, and the Heavenly Secret Pavilion agreed. But..."

  "I failed. I thought I had won the hearts of the Feng family, but I ter realized that I couldn't do it. Even my fidants were spies pnted by my father."

  "I had no choice but to follow the secret left to me by my aor and e to seize the Rootless Soul Soil, and to no longer myself with the affairs of Azure Clion."

  Look at this father and son.

  Feng li many years as a member of the Heavenly Secret Pavilio he was wholeheartedly thinking about saving the Azure Clion. And Feng Qingyang? A dignified Prince, yet he wao lead the Azure Clion to a point of urn. A person like Feng lin was led by the nose. How mentable.

  Li Yaowen closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and remained silent.

  Li Yaoqing g her younger sister, who narrowed her eyes, "Perhaps you should have e to us sooo eliminate Feng Qingyang. There's still a ow."

  "With you here, you expose everything. Whether it's rep to the Imperial City or leading all the experts of Azure Clion to directly take down the Feng family, both are viable options."

  "Now... the advantage is on our side."

  Everyone nodded in agreement, their faces breaking into rexed smiles.

  Even Li Yundou, one of the Seven Ironcd, shouted, "Right! Inform the surrounding regions... No, that kind of scum, we should rip his head off ourselves!"

  Feng lin gave a wry smile.

  Just as he was about to speak.

  But then Li Yaowen opened her eyes and exhaled deeply, "It's too te. It's all too te."

  As her words faded.

  "Rumble!"

  Suddenly, the earth trembled, and the air grew heavy with a sense of oppression!

  Everyone from the Li family paled, and they all turo look outside the cave.

  They saw, inally, many tribes were heading towards the destroyed Xishou tribe, but suddenly, all of these tribes halted iracks!

  This cave was already situated at a high elevation.

  Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief. Throughout the endless forest, as far as the eye could see, all the tribes suddenly began to move. It seemed as if they had all received an order at the same moment!

  Terrifying giant trees, hundreds of meters tall, uprooted themselves from the earth. Monstrous beasts, shaking off rocks and soil, moved cautiously through the endless forest. One by ohese monsters, each carrying members of the Wu , headed towards Azure Clion!

  This time, There were more of them thahree tribes two years ago, and they were stronger!

  "Fourth Aunt... this..."

  Li Tianyi swallowed hard.

  Li Yaowen sighed deeply, "The ambitions of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion and the Wu are eveer than we imagined."

  ...

  [Special Event - Unstoppable War!]

  [Your family and the righteous people of Azure Clion have tried to prevent a war. You have schemed against the chess pyers, and you were victorious. But you have never escaped the fate of being chess pieces. Azure Clion was merely a pawo distract the Azure Dynasty, to make the Azure Dynasty focus all its attention on the Azure Clion. You still have tle for survival in the midst of this chaotic world.]

  In front of the s, Li Wei ched his teeth.

  Li Yaowen said 'It's too te,' but it's not too te, it's not all too te. They had done very well.

  The only problem was that they had only focused on the Azure Clion.

  [Your desdant Li Tianshuas to you that she saw it, she saw the Wu suddenly charge into Starfall Region!]

  [Li Tiansi, reports to you that he saw several priests charge into Qi Region, besieging and killing a Soul expert.]

  [Your desdant Li Yunlis to you that his master, Daoist Jiuyou, traveled to the Imperial City to report on the events in the Azure Clioioning that they had captured a member of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion. However, he was hunted down by the powerful officials of the Imperial City. The st message he sent back was that the Emperor was seriously injured and in seclusion!]

  "So, Azure Clion was just a tiny, insignifit chess piece."

  His face darkehey had worked so hard, striving to give the Li family a peaceful life, just like these past few years, where the whole family could gather and enjoy each other's pany. But now, they were still being affected by the damned current situation.

  "Ring, ring."

  Suddenly, the ph. Li Wei turned off his phone. He wasn't in the mood. He khat this family crisis was immense. "I o go into seclusion and break through to the Soul stage. Only at the Soul stage I be of help to the family!"

  Meanwhile, In the boratory, Xiao Qingling, dressed in a white b coat, scowled. Hearing the message 'The number you have dialed is powered off,' she was just about to smash her phone.

  From behind her came the delighted ughter of a staff member.

  "We've found it! Hahaha, we've found it! There are a writings on it!"

  Xiao Qingling hurriedly went out and saw a staff member carrying a silver coffin. It was even a spirit artifact, indig that this person's status was extraordinary.

  All the staff members were deciphering the text.

  [We orived, striving to prevent disaster from befalling our homend, but we failed.]

  [I am still proud.]

  [Proud that we were born in this era, sacrifig ourselves for the future of Azure Cloud. No matter how dark the future, we still hold onto hope.]

  [I am proud that I fought alongside the Li family. I stood behind the era.]

  [And now, they are still fighting, carrying the will of us all, standing against those schemers, those who are high and mighty!]

  Even though ages have passed.

  Those looking at the words on the coffin could all feel the epic tragedy of that era!

  It seemed they had fallen into some immense camity. They were uhey never gave up, even ih.

  "This family..."

  Xiao Qingling murmured. She had already obtained various iances and relics. It seemed that this family was a very evil oheir children would kill from a young age and were devoid of emotion. They were filled with a monstrous killing i. Among them were corpse drivers, demon lords, despicable assassins, and poison masters...

  They should have been a rge and powerful evil cultivation family.

  But they... seemed to have also been the leaders of an era.
