In Coldstone Valley, Li Yaozu and Li Yaoqing were ing up the aftermath.

  By this time, the Raging Sky Floon and Li Kuanghua had already awakened.

  Li Yaozu g Li Kuanghua, who was looking downcast, and shook his head. Then he said to Li Yaoqing, "Sed Sister, this Wu detat has been pletely wiped out, but the news of a floon undergoing tribution has probably spread. The Raging Sky Floon is at the Soul stage, so it's not a good idea t it back to the family, lest the Wu bee aware of our family's growing strength and ruin Kuangtu's good iions."

  "In that case, take the Raging Sky Floon back to the Demon Cave."

  In the distance, Li Kuanghua's ears perked up, and her eyes regained a spark of their former brightness.

  Li Yaoqing nodded slightly, "Alright. With the Demon Lord there, the Wu will have to think twice before ag recklessly ihunderfire Demon Cave."

  Without another word, Li Yaoqing then took the Raging Sky Floon and headed towards the Thunderfire Demon Cave.

  As the flooed, it looked at Li Kuanghua with a bit of reluce. When it was helpless and uo resist, the only thing it saw was Li Kuanghua shielding it and fighting for it with her life. It wished it could cherish Li Kuanghua as its own offspring.

  Li Yaozu also headed towards the family's residence along with Li Kuanghua and the other three members.

  As they were traveling, Li Kuanghua couldn't help but ask hesitantly, "Great-GrandfUncle, you just said..."

  Although Li Kuanghua was stammering, Li Yaozu still uood what she meant. "Are you referring to Kuangtu?"

  He sighed, "Kuanghua, in fact, being a 'coward' also requires ce. At least none of us in the family have his kind of ce. We 't accept his choice, but we also aowledge that Kuangtu has brought us time tthen ourselves. That's all."

  As he spoke, Li Yaozu smiled, "Kuanghua, cultivate diligently. Kuangtu bowing his head alone also represents our entire family bowing our heads. But one day, we will also lift our heads and gaze at the clear, bright sky."

  Without saying anything more, Li Yaozu took Li Kuanghua and the others bae.

  There were still quite a few members of the Wu outside the family's residence. Li Yaozu casually killed one who had just taken flight, seemingly intending to question him about his path, before entering the residence.

  As soon as they arrived at the Primordial Blood Tree, Li Yaozu's expression turned dark.

  At this moment, Li Yundou, covered in demonic markings, was sternly telling the family's history to several children from Li Tianniu's branch.

  The children listened, swallowing nervously from time to time.

  "Do you know how yreat-great-grandfather lost his hand? It was yreat-great-granduncle who chopped it off. He had a terrible temper, the fiercest of all the great-great-granduncle and aunt. Back then, yreat-great-grandfather only scolded him once, and he suffered such a camity. And your Freat-Great-Grandaunt, her legs were broken by him, that's why she spent her entire life in a wheelchair."

  "Oh, and your Sed Great-Great-Grandaunt, she doesn't dare to e home at all. She's been hiding ihunderfire Demon Cave, afraid that yreat-great-granduncle would chop off her hands a."

  "He eats children. If you see him, you must run. I used to have over thirty children, but he ate all but two of them, aigh..."

  Li Yundou sighed, his face a picture of varied emotions, as if he had truly suffered such a great tragedy.

  Suddenly, he was kicked it.

  "Who was that? I'm telling a story here..."

  Li Yundou turned his head, his pupils trag sharply as a shadow loomed over him.

  He saw Li Yaozu's face, which was as bck as charcoal!

  "Huff... huff..."

  Li Yaozu's breath was heavy and ragged, his chest heaving. His voice squeezed out from between his ched teeth, "So that expins it. I was w why all the juniors looked like they'd seen a ghost whehey saw me. For decades, all these years, I thought it was my enemies from outside plotting against me. Turns out it was you!"

  "You little brat... well done, very well done!!!"

  Li Yaozu's figure loomed closer and closer.

  Li Yundou trembled untrolbly. He gulped hard, his face pale. "N-no... Uncle, let's... let's talk this over."

  A moment ter, Li Tianniu's children scattered in terror, screaming for help.

  "Help!!! Eldest Uncle is going to kill someone!!!"

  That day, All the Li family members in the residence looked up. Li Yundou's screams of pain rose and fell. The children who had heard the rumors about Li Yaozu were as silent as winter cicadas, quickly hiding themselves away in closed-door cultivation.

  ....

  [Your desdant Li Yaoqis to you that she is currently taking the Raging Sky Floon to the Thunderfire Demon Cave.]

  [The guardian spirit beast requests that you give it a name.]

  Just as he was rejoig over the Raging Sky Floon's breakthrough and what o give it.

  Li Wei suddenly felt a sharp pain in his eardrums.

  Looking towards the source of the distant screams, he was momentarily stunned, "What's that noise?"

  Just as he was w what had happened, several desdants passed by and said that Li Yundou was taking a beating, and the other members of the Seven Ironcd, who had goo restrain Li Yaozu, were also gettien up.

  "Oh, the Seven Ironcd? Then it's fine."

  Li Wei closed his eyes and cultivated. In the past, everyone used to say they were like bears, but that wasn't really the case. The Seven Ironcd were more like a mix of a brown bear and a husky - both mischievous and goofy.

  The time spent prehending Heaven ah Qi was always dull.

  The Grand Sacrificial Ceremony of the 140th year cluded once again.

  Soon after, it was suddenly [Year 145]. The Li family was the same as always, with everyone focused on cultivation and rarely going out.

  It seemed like the family was mustering all their strength, cultivating and cultivating some more. They were like racers peting against time.

  As for the Azure Clion?

  [Your desdant Li Yaoqis to you that Li Yunlin, leading the disciples of the Skyveil Sect, went to the Thunderfire Demon Cave fe. The Bck Tortoise Sect, the Ghost Eye Sect, and other sects, with the help of the demon cultivators ihunderfire Demon Cave, fought their way through and also ehe Thunderfire Demon Cave.]

  When he saw this news, Li Wei shrugged. Back then, the Azure Clion was cm to destroy the Thunderfire Demon Cave, but now, in this time of great chaos, it was the only pce they had to hide.
