Just moments ago, he was battling at the Su family estate.
But now, Li Wei had returo his familiar room. Although he had only spehan five minutes in the game world, he felt an inexplicable sense of detat, as if a lifetime had passed. His emotions were a tangled mess.
He felt a sense of loss, a deep emptiness.
Like an elderly man living alone whose children were all striving far away, only able to hear about their ret lives through phone calls.
He loo see them again, to gather with these desdants he had never lived with, to chat about everything uhe sun, to discuss life's important matters. Ideally, they could share a meal together, and he could treat each of them to a ilk tea.
Perhaps some things in this world were just like that. Despite never havihey had already poured their emotions into each other, ected by an invisible thread that transded spad time.
"Ah, it felt like a real world. My desdants, even as characters in a game, they felt truly alive."
Li Wei let out a long sigh.
He suppressed the urge to return to the game world and suddenly widened his eyes.
Seeing the words "Farewell, Aor!" above Li Yundou's head in the game, he nearly went back to give the boy a good thrashing.
"You little rascal, your aor will remember this! Just wait until I get back there!"
...
It was also because of Li Yundou's interruption that Li Wei snapped back to reality. As for returning to the game world, that was a matter for ter. Right now, he should focus otlefield.
With all the Golden Core experts elimihe Su family was beyond saving.
As Li Dalong smashed another False Core cultivator with his coffin, the tide of the battle pletely turned in favor of the Li family.
The over twenty thousand people in Su Family Town couldn't withstand the onsught of the Blood Spirit Fruit Tree, along with the hordes of corpses and flying corpses.
The potio back by Li Yaoqing also allowed the Li family members to replenish their spiritual energy tinuously.
[You have used 'Aor's Raging Fury,' ing 500 inse value.]
Although he had returo his own world, Li Wei was still fighting. The aral spirit tablet, under his trol, tio sy enemies!
"Brother Su, you chose the wrong side."
Half a day ter, Su Family Town y in ruins. All the corpses of the Su family were collected into the Heaven-Pierg Coffin, and the Blood Spirit Fruit Tree returo the picture-like scroll—
[ Spirit Tool: Spirit St Scroll]
[Stores spirit beasts and treasures, tains the spiritual power of a peak Foundatioablishment cultivator, nourishes the objects within the scroll]
The Li family members stood before Su Jinming, the head of the Su family, now bound by s that sealed his magical power.
"As."
After all, he was the head of the family. Even after witnessing the downfall of the Su family and the destru of their seven-hundred-year legacy, he didn't resort to insults or express a for his wrong choices. Only a sigh escaped his lips, filled with the weight of the world.
He uood why Li Dalong had spared him. With a bitter smile, he said, "Brother Dalong, I will tell you about all the teiques, martial skills, and the location of the hidden treasury that the Su family possesses. But you must promise me one dition."
"The children of my Su family, and those within Su Family Town, are i. They are too young to uand, let them go."
"Also, the branch families of my Su family in various cities and towns, they are unaware of this matter."
Hearing this, Li Dalong gowards the young children huddled in a er of the Su family estate.
They had been pnning this for two months and were fully prepared. They were responsible for eliminating the Su family and Elder Qiuli's group, while Cloudsea Pavilion and the Gu family were in charge of eradig any future threats.
He frowned. "I apologize, Brother Su, but your branch families in various cities and towns are already gone. As for these children... I won't harm them. I will use a teique to extract their memories. As for their future, it depends oher they survive on their own."
"As, that's acceptable too."
Witnessing this se, Li Wei remained silent. Although ruthless towards enemies, Li Dalong ultimately had a ki.
Besides... killing children, no matter who faced such a decision, would evoke passion. This was a dilemma no one wao front. If it were Li Wei himself, would he omentary passion or eliminate all future threats? He, too, would find this choicredibly difficult.
However, Li Wei still respected Li Dalong's decision. Even if these children grew up seeking revenge, so be it.
Weren't human affairs often like this?
But as soon as Li Dalong finished speaking, Li Wei swallowed hard, his eyes drawn to a message in the event log.
When Su Jinming revealed all the valuables of the Su family,
[Your desdant, Li Yaowen, knowing the kindness of her family, anticipated that the Su family might offer their secret teiques and valuables as a bargain, causing her father, Li Dalong, to hesitate and ultimately choose passion, sparing the children.]
[To eliminate any future threats, she issued an order, and the Dawn assassins are currently on their way to the Su family estate.]
"..."
Li Wei was momentarily speechless. This girl had always been ruthless since childhood. Not only did she have a thh grasp of the enemy's intelligence, but she even anticipated her own family's thoughts.
But he also felt a pang of heaviness in his heart for Li Yaowen.
This was how the Li family was. Often, Li Dalong and others would show passion and kindness; after all, that was human nature. But every time this happened, Li Yaowen would secretly make a pletely different choice, ohat was most beneficial to the family.
Some people wholeheartedly pursued goodness, standing in the sunlight, while others carried heavy burdens, walking in the shadows.
Li Yaowen had always stood in the darkest ers behind the ses, doing the dirtiest deeds, unknown and unaowledged.
Perhaps the reason she was enduring such profound tributions and struggling to bee a cultivator of the schorly path was because she carried the weight of her sins.
Soon, the Li family members collected their spoils of war and headed back to their estate.
