"Brother Dalong, Xiao Huang'er... ot be killed."

  Huang Xiujin sat back down, fiddling with his teacup, but he couldn't find a fortable grip. "That Qiuye had phis all along. He deliberately let the Demon Kiurn. He wao provoke the Li family into attag Xiao Huang'er. If you harm Xiao Huang'er, it would be equivalent to attag the Azure Clion itself."

  "For many years in Azure Clion, the loablished powers have had an agreement: no matter what bees of the Azure Cloud Pavilion, as long as it doesn't viote humahid morality, anyone who bees an enemy of the Azure Cloud Pavilion is an enemy of the entire Azure Clion."

  "But the Demon King of your family..."

  Huang Xiujin didn't want to say more.

  But whether it was Li Wei or Li Dalong and his wife, they all uood that in the eyes of the world, demons could be killed, demons could be ehis was not sidered a viotion of humahid morality, even if Old Pig was a member of the Li family!

  Even if someone from the Azure Cloud Pavilion "actally" killed someone, as long as it didn't cause public e, the matter could be easily resolved!

  No matter how much it had deed, the Azure Cloud Pavilion still represehe memories aage of the region. tless fas and families would serve the Azure Cloud Pavilion for the sake of reputation and such empty fame.

  They were all silent, uanding that eveing to assassination against Xiao Huang'er would be futile.

  In fact, this was no longer a spiracy, but a btant scheme orchestrated by that old fox, Elder Qiuye!

  He had likely already anticipated the Li family's enraged and irrational response and prepared termeasures for every possible sario!

  Without even needing a Soul cultivator to intervehe Li family would be utterly destroyed across all 24 districts.

  "Hahaha, what a fine dispy of humahid morality! What a noble Azure Cloud Pavilion! What a ing and resourceful Elder Qiuye!"

  Li Dalong suddenly burst into ughter. In his hundred years of life, this was the first time he had ughed so wildly.

  Seeing Li Dalong's unusual behavior, Huang Xiujin's expression ged.

  "Brother Dalong..."

  He seemed to sense what Li Dalong was about to do.

  Ever since he first met the Li family, he has witheir growth step by step and watched as this family faced their enemies with relentless determination.

  They... feared nothing.

  "Brother Huang, thank you for looking after my Li family all these years. If it weren't for you, we would have faced tless troubles and might have even been forced into a life-or-death struggle with the Azure Clion. The Li family is eternally grateful."

  Li Dalong cupped his hands towards Huang Xiujin in gratitude.

  "Brother Dalong, you're too kind. As I said, we are bound by a life-ah friendship." Huang Xiuji out a sigh for no apparent reason.

  "Since we are life-ah friends, there's no need for thanks for such a great favor." Li Dalong smiled easily, the anger he felt at Old Pig's death gone. He took out two eighth-grade Blood Spirit Fruits and various Five Elements medial powders from his pocket and hahem to Huang Xiujin.

  There was even a spirit artifact.

  "Brother Dalong, this is..." Huang Xiujin uzzled.

  Li Dalong said gently, "This is a betrothal gift. Didn't Brother Huaion wanting to form a marriage alliah my Li family? In the fifth geion of my Li family, there is a promising son, still in his infancy. He could go to the Cloudsea Pavilion and live under an assumed identity. As for this marriage proposal, Brother Huang decide for himself."

  "But I wonder, Brother Huang, would you dislike my Li family?"

  At that moment, Huang Xiujin's eyes reddened. Perhaps he had other motives for befriending the Li family all these years. Perhaps, for the sake of profit, he would make selfish choices.

  But he couldn't deny his admiration for the Li family.

  He looked up at the sky and sighed. "Brother Dalong, what kind of person do you take me for? The world calls me Huang Xiujin a despicable vilin, a ing and treaan. But your Li family is worth me ag impulsively for once. I accept this marriage proposal!"

  On this day, Huang Xiuji, carrying a child in his arms. He didn't even know which Li family youhe child beloo. A group of Li family daughters-in-w tearfully hahe child to him.

  As he flew on his sword, he carefully used his spirit to protect the child. Seeing the baby in his arms g loudly, he smiled. "So the little one is called Kuangtu? Must have been named by those seven bears in your family, right? Don't worry; from now on, you are my kin, Huang Xiujin's kin. I, in Cloudsea Pavilion, will find you the most beautiful wife, alright?"

  "Waaah~"

  The baby in the swaddling clothes cried because it was far from its familiar surroundings.

  ...

  Li Dalong and his wife hugged and chatted for a long time.

  Soon, they led the remaining Li family desdants to the aral hall, where they all k before Li Wei's spirit tablet.

  Even Li Tianming, the family traitor, came along with Li Tianyi.

  This twisted young man was visiting the family's aral hall in the Silver Iron Forest for the first time. It was also his first time seeing the Heaven-Pierg Coffin and the various secrets of the Li family. For a moment, he was dazzled by it all.

  Until...

  The aral tablet, as everyoered, suddenly burst into brilliant light!

  "Ah? Is that a spirit tool?" Li Tianming stared at the aral tablet in a daze.

  Li Tianyi gred at his brother and made a hushiure. He dared t Li Tianming in because his great-grandparents didn't reize him. And Great-Grandfather definitely wouldn't reize him; he was the most mysterious figure in the family.

  Rumor had it that he killed his wife in his early years and ate children every day. Whenever sword light fshed in the depths of the Silver Iron Forest, another child had been devoured by Great-Grandfather. However, Li Tianyi k couldn't be that exaggerated. One child should st at least three days.

  It was said that Great Grandpa Li Yaotie spent all day bcksmithing. He was very fierce. See that silver arm of his? It was said that Great-Grandfather chopped it off. Grandpa couldn't defeat Great-Grandfather, so he could only vent his frustration by bcksmithing all day long.

  "Tianyi, what are you looking at?"

  Seemingly sensing Li Tianyi's gaze, Li Yaozu turned his head to look at his nephew. Although he had been practig swordsmanship for many years, he still tried his best to appear gentle. However, his slightly disheveled hair and the chilling glint in his eyes, honed by years of swordsmanship, still startled Li Tianyi.

  Li Tianyi forced himself to maintain a well-behaved demeanor. "Nothing, nothing, Great-Grandfather is truly... a divine being!"

  Li Yaozu frowned. "Fttery will get you nowhere. Don't do that again."

  "Yes, Great-Grandfather, Tianyi won't dare to do it again!" Li Tianyi quickly turned his head and pushed down Li Tianming's head, who was still staring at Li Yaozu. The two brothers the and bowed towards the aral tablet.

  Only Li Yunbing g Li Tianming for a moment longer. Although this fellow had grown up a lot, he still vaguely remembered Li Tianming's madness. However, he didn't say anything, only thinking to himself, "These foolish youngsters, they're still immature, thinking they hide their cultivation level with some cealment teique."

  Li Dalong, kneeling at the forefront, saw that all the members of the Li family had gathered at the aral hall.

  He bowed deeply and decred in a loud voice, "Aor, I uand the words of the Diviree. year, the nd shall be stained red with the blood of Azure Clion. Aor, this time, your child will truly be unfilial!"

  In front of the s, Li Wei had already recovered from the anger over the Pig Demon King's death and the worry about the Li family fag powerful enemies.

  He took a deep breath. Although the Violet Tempest Python was no lohere, he still had a way to express himself.

  Aor's Warmth, one surge for each person!

  The aral tablet transformed into spiritual energy, and before the Li family members, it inscribed a single character:

  [Approve!]

  If the Li family desdants were all cowards, that would be the greatest act of unfilial piety!

  He was gd that his desdants all possessed ce and a fighting spirit!
