"The Azure Cloud War !"

  Li Wei loved these pertage bonuses. However, he still didn't quite uand this matter of being protected by destiny.

  The aral worship ceremony at the aral hall soon cluded. That night, the Li family desdants held a gra, inviting everyone in Green Valley Town and the friends who had e to help to celebrate.

  Green Valley Town was brightly lit, with spirit nterns hanging high.

  After the war, the people of the town weren't ed with formalities. They simply sat on the ground, gnawing on roasted demonic beast meat brought by the Giant Rock Spirit Jade Tribe, sharing wine, and dividing the spoils of war.

  The demon cultivators from the Thunderfire Cave and the Li family's spirit beasts were the most delighted. The corpses of the Wu members were a great supplement for them, much to the annoyance of the self-procimed righteous cultivators, who could only gnash their teeth at those broken totems and bones.

  The Li family members gathered together. They hadn't had such a reunion in many years, and they cherished this feast, chatting about all the happy events that had occurred over the years.

  Li Wei also cherished this se and didn't speed up the flow of time.

  "Those youngsters caused quite a stir at the Azure artial Pavilion. Guess what? I was there too! Let me tell you, after those geniuses left, I secretly went after them one by one. How dare they bully my nephews and nieces? Hmph..."

  Li Tianming, who couldn't hold his liquor, had one foot on a chair and the other oable. His face was flushed as he reted his "glorious deeds," pletely oblivious to the disapproving stares from his family members.

  And then...

  "oo~"

  The first and sed geions sat at oable, the third geion at another, and the rest of the children gathered around wherever they could find space. Li Tianming was tied to a pilr with his mouth gagged.

  "Don't mind him. He's a good-for-nothing!"

  Li Tianyi feigned anger, actually afraid that his brother would be kicked out of the family again. Then, he said proudly, "I'm different. Hehehe, I've been digging graves every day these years, and I'm getting more and more skilled. Not just the Azure Cloud Pavilion, even the Skyveil Sect, Bck Tortoise Sect, the Ghost Eye Sect... I've looted them all..."

  "oo~"

  Tied to the pilr, one drunk and one sober, both bound like adults, their eyes met, expressing their shared misery.

  Frightened by this sight, the feion of children sat up straight, not daring to mention the foolish things they had doside. They exged gnces, probably realizing that most of them werely upstanding citizens, then burst into ughter.

  Their fear subsided, and they tinued chatting freely about all sorts of things.

  "You little rascals!"

  Li Yaotie abruptly stood up again. He had heard that that punk, Li Tianqi, had actually enced the youo go and court death among the Wu , and that Li Tianniu wao meet the beauties of the Wu ... Their audacity was beyond even his, their elder!

  But just as he was about to speak, Li Yaoqing stopped him. Sed Sister rolled her eyes at him and said, "Why are you so worried? If the kids want to be reckless, let them be. They're smarter than you; they know what they're doing."

  "Smarter than me? Impossible!"

  Li Yaotie's eyes widened in disbelief. Seeing that no one aying attention to him, he turo Bai Rourou for support. "Wife," he pleaded, "say something!"

  Bai Rourou served food to everyone, ign her own stubborn husband.

  Li Yaotie then turo his elder brother, hoping for a fair judgment. "Elder Brother..." he said.

  "Yes, yes, yes, you're the smartest, alright?"

  Li Yaozu said with a fake smile.

  This pleased Li Yaotie so much that he rubbed his shiny bald head, as if to show everyone what it meant to be "smart and bald."

  Nearby...

  The Seven Ironcd, although still bearing demonic markings, had regained some of their simple and ho demeanor uhe influence of Li Yaowen's literary power, despite their serious expressions.

  They g their father, who roudly rubbing his bald head, and began whispering amongst themselves.

  "Old man says he's smart? Yeah, right! smart my ass! Remember how that stinky old man tricked us back then?"

  "Don't eveion it," one of the Seven grumbled. "He taught us to chase after women, and I ended up being treated like a hooligan."

  "Eldest Uncle and Grandfather were such a disappoi. We should give him a beating, just like he used to beat us when we were kids."

  Heeheehee~

  The old simpletons chuckled, seemingly recalling some amusing memories.

  "Ahem."

  Li Yunlin coughed lightly, interrupting the Seven Ironcds' fantasies. He looked at his younger brother. "Sed brother, why do you look older and older? Aren't you at the Golden Core Stage?"

  Everyo the table looked at the oldest-looking member of the family.

  Hearing this, Li Yunbing looked around cautiously like a thief, then covered his mouth with his hand and whispered, "Don't tell the others, but to be ho with you, those pces like the Thunderfire Cave and the Demon Subduing Alliance are really tough to navigate."

  "Those demon cultivators and righteous cultivators, none of them are truly good people. Later, I realized that the older I looked, the whiter my hair became, the more authority I anded."

  "Also, I secretly went out and observed the behavior of those powerful figures for three whole years. I practiced their mannerisms in front of a bronze mirror for three years before finally mastering their demeanor."

  "Tsk, tsk."

  Li Yunbing sighed with emotion. "To trol those ing and scheming people," he said, "you not only o be strong, but you also o domihem with your presence. My aura..."

  Li Yunlin gave him a thumbs up.

  He spoke with deep uanding. "You're right," he said. "I felt the same when I was the Sect Master of the Skyveil Sect. When I cked presehere were always those who would try to cause trouble. But with a strong aura and a stern gre, even if your strength is inferior to theirs, they will still cower before you."

  Listening to their two elder brothers sharing their experiehe Seven Ironcd pouted.

  Li Yundou scoffed and said, "What's so great about being a Sect Master? It's not like we haven't killed one before."

  "Hmm?"

  Two pairs of narrowed eyes gred at him, making Li Yundou's legs weak with fear.
