"The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion iigated the Giant Rock Spirit Jade Tribe's territory many years ago. They suspect that the formation of the stos is reted to an innate spiritual object located beh the hundred mountains, ohat graieo stos."

  "...."

  The Li family members stared at Huang Xiujin in sileheir gazes making his scalp tingle. "Wh-what's wrong?" he stammered.

  "Why didn't you tell us sooner?!"

  Li Dalo out a long sigh. "Well, it's too te now. The Giant Rock Spirit Jade Tribe has already been divided up. The opportunity has passed."

  "It was Yu Xian who told you to reveal this now, wasn't it?"

  Li Yaowen frowned. "Was he afraid that our Li family might cooperate with the Wu ?"

  Huang Xiujin spread his hands. "Indeed," he said, "but there's o worry. Mr. Yu said that although they haven't been able to ehe Hundred Mountains to iigate these past years, if it were that easy to find, someone would have taken it long ago."

  "Even though the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion is involved, acc to his calcutions, they won't be able to find it for ahree to five years."

  As he spoke, Huang Xiujin took out another object. It was a token with the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion symbol on it!

  It was a token of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion!

  But this token was also covered in various inscriptions, seemingly suppressing the spiritual energy within it.

  "Mr. Yu has been with the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion for over two hundred years," Huang Xiujin expined. "He said that the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion's power is immense, and there's not much he do. But at least he could tamper with their tokens. Presumably, there should be members of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion within the Hundred Mountains now. This object track their whereabouts."

  It had to be said that Yu Xian was truly a talented individual, still scheming even ih.

  Undoubtedly, the treasure that could graience even to stones would be another powerful trump card for the Li family, ohey could use against the Wu , who had now bee their sworn enemies.

  But the Li family members were still staring at Huang Xiujin.

  It wasn't that they didn't trust Huang Xiujin, but rather that they didn't trust Yu Xian...

  Li Wei didn't trust him either. Who knew if this was some kind of trap?

  "It's too dangerous," Li Yaowen said.

  Li Yaowen shook her head. "It's not worth it," she said. "Let's not discuss this matter any further."

  Everyone nodded in agreement. Huang Xiujin also let out a helpless, wry smile.

  Even Li Tianqi, who loved taking risks, nodded and said, "Yes, that old Yu Xian tricked our family st time, leading the Giant Rock Spirit Jade Tribe to attack us. We 't trust him."

  Li Tianyi nodded slightly. "The seniors within me also said there's no need for that," he replied.

  "Elder Brother is right!"

  Li Tianming looked at Li Tianyi with admiration.

  ...

  The day, a group of Li family members left the estate!

  With Guan Tian's arrival, the Li family also felt a sense ency.

  [Your desdant, Li Yaowes to you that the Beast Division and the Spirit Jade Division are persuading the various Wu tribes to une-scale atta the Azure Clion. Feng lin of the Prince's Mansion is also secretly requesting reinforts from the Starfall Region and some other clions, which are he Azure Clion. Iure, this war will bee even more chaotic.]

  The Li family members all went into secluded cultivation in suitable locations. Many of them had already reached the Fake Core Formation stage and were close to breaking through to the Golden Core stage.

  Cultivating in enviros suited to their teiques and spirit roots could greatly increase their ces of a breakthrough.

  Meanwhile, on the road towards the Endless Forest, Li Tianyi, Li Tianming, and Li Tianqi were traveling together!

  "Heeheehee, absolutely right!"

  Li Tianqi, carrying the tortoise shell and walking on his sword, ughed loudly. "I want to see just how dangerous these Hundred Mountains are," he decred. "The greater the risk, the stronger I bee!"

  Li Tianyi was more cautious. "We still o prioritize our safety," he said, "but we should try to obtain that mysterious spiritual object. Buried deep underground, it create a million stos. If it falls into our Li family's hands, we could have an army of ten million, or even more! We would have a much better ce against the Wu ."

  As he spoke, he turned his head and g Li Tianming, who was closely following him, with a cold light fshing in his sleeve. He rolled his eyes. "What are you doing?" he asked.

  "Ahaha."

  Li Tianming hid his hands behind his back. With a flick of his fingers, the dagger disappeared. "N-nothing," he replied, "I just agree with what you said. It's just the Hundred Mountains. I dared to kill people in front of Soul experts even when I was only at the Foundatioablishment stage."

  "Damn..."

  Li Wei was cheg the whereabouts of his desdants. When it came to these three, he cursed under his breath. "No wonder you were so well-behaved st night!"

  [Your three desdants, defying the family's arras and refusing to give up on this treasure hunt, have used the opportunity of their training expedition to jourogether to the Hundred Mountains and seize the treasure for the family!]

  "..."

  It had to be said, these three were the craziest among the feion.

  Li Wei rolled his eyes. One of them loved digging underground, one loved killing, and the other loved c death. What a perfebination.

  Then, he was about to inform Li Yaowen about this.

  "..."

  Li Wei stared bnkly ahead, then said after a while, "Yaowen, you've ged. Even you are lying now..."

  At this moment, Li Yaowen was riding in her wheelchair, propelled by clouds and mist, followed by folden Core assassins from Dawn.

  She was heading towards the Hundred Mountains.
