[Your desdants, the Seven Ironcd, are heading towards Emerald Piemple.]

  [Li Tianshuang is heading towards the sy jungle.]

  [Li Tianqi is heading towards the Lake of Sinkis.]

  [...]

  As each message appeared before Li Wei's eyes, he finally smiled with genuine joy.

  The Li family desdants on the map were like flower buds waiting to bloom, blossoming outwards from the Li family residen all dires.

  The Pig Demon King's years of effort had not been in vain. The children of the Li family were spreading out, carrying his will with them. They had lived up to his expectations!

  In the past, it was the Pig Demon King who carried the children everywhere. Now, the children of the Li family, bearing the Pig Demon King's hatred and beliefs, were also running beyond the Li family home.

  "Huu."

  Li Wei let out a long breath.

  As time accelerated, the lingering notes of Li Tianyi's music faded, and the first light of dawn began to dispel the darkness, illuminating the entire Li family residence, giving it a vibrant and flourishing aura.

  The Li family suddenly fell silent, like a suppressed volo or a sharpened bde cealed in its sheath, ready to unleash its edge at any moment.

  Mr. Huang Xiujin of the Cloudsea Pavilion also stayed at the Li family residence.

  He stood at the highest point of the Li family's buildings, everything, watg the Li family members grief to silence, and then seeing the desdants leave home one by one.

  Huang Xiuji a shiver run down his spine.

  With the sudden appearance of the message "It should be the enemy who grieves" above the Li family reside was as if a giant dragon had burst forth from the ground.

  "I thought the war betweewo sects would gradually end, and the entire Azure Clion would be peaceful again. But... everything has just begun. I wonder which sdrel has caused such a monstrous disaster."

  With a sigh, something flew towards him from afar. Huang Xiujin caught the paper e, and a white light flowed into his head. He narrowed his eyes, hesitation flickering in his gaze.

  The paper e in his hand turo ashes.

  He took a deep breath, seemingly making up his mind, and theowards the main hall of the Li family residence.

  Ihe hall, he saw Li Dalong and his wife. Although the head of the Li family was Li Yunbing, Huang Xiujin knew clearly that while Li Dalong might not be as ing or ambitious as Li Yunbing, but he was the true erstone of the Li family.

  Even now... his divination teique could no longer dis Li Dalong's true strength. A withered corpse pletely obscured his vision.

  "Brother Dalong, Sister-in-w Cuihua."

  Huang Xiujin took a deep breath, the out a long sigh. At this moment, he hesitated no more. He took out a spirit storansferred a portion of his memories to Li Dalong, and said with a wry smile, "Brother Dalong, this matter... let it go."

  Li Dalong and his wife silently accepted the spirit stohen shook their heads at Huang Xiujin without a word. They were waiting.

  Huang Xiujin didn't try to persuade them further. He sat quietly to the side and called for a servant girl to pour him some tea.

  He khat from the moment he shared everything he knew with the Li family, he had already boarded the same boat as them.

  He had always been cautious and prudent throughout his life, ofteing to schemes and tricks.

  But this time, he wao gamble.

  He couldn't see the future, but he believed in what he had witnessed in the Li family. He believed in their loyalty to fight for their Demon King and in those eagles flying out from their home.

  Soon, a cloud of mist drifted from outside into the Li family residend transformed into a human figure. This person was dressed in bck, with a face mask and a bamboo hat, exuding a chilling killing i.

  As this person nded within the Li family grounds, Huang Xiujin was startled.

  He recalled an assassin anization that had suddenly emerged in the Azure Clion i years. No one knew who their leader was, only that they recruited orphaned aute children from the slums and traihem meticulously. They hid within the bustling marketpces, and their spies and informants spread throughout the Azure Clion. Perhaps even the beggars oreets were their people.

  They also recruited skilled individuals, keeping a close watajor powers and fas.

  They particurly liked to subtly guide those skilled individuals who were being oppressed. If someone was being huhey would find ways to rescue them. Or if someone was on the verge of death, it wouldn't be long before their people appeared before the dying person and provided treatment. They would also seek out those harb hatred, forced to hide in the marketpces, and promise to help them take reve any cost.

  These sufferers, before long, would join their ranks. This assassin anization, like a snowball, grew rger and rger as it rolled along.

  Its name was—

  Dawn.

  But those who entered Dawn usually never saw the light of day again.

  The assassiered and g Huang Xiujin, causing him to break out in a cold sweat. He quickly lowered his head and sipped his tea.

  "One of our own." Li Dalong owards the assassin, then touched the aral tablet pced oable beside the mai.

  Upon seeing the aral tablet, the assassin nodded, k on one kowards it, and with a fsh of their ste ring, tossed a spirit stoo Li Dalong. "The message from Dawn has been delivered. If there are no further orders, I'll take my leave."

  Li Dalong simply waved his hand, and the assassin vanished into a wisp of smoke.

  "Brother Li."

  Huang Xiujin was about to say something but quickly fell silent. He suppressed his surging Spiritual power as he sensed... a familiar demonic cultivator!

  An old man appeared, riding a cloud across the sky above the Li family residence. Landing on the ground, he picked up a wooden gourd and poured wio his mouth, stumbling as he walked into the main hall. He reeked of alcohol, his bulbous nose particurly red and swollen. His small body seemed as if it could colpse at any moment. Finally, he let out a loud burp, his eyes bleary, but he stared at Huang Xiujin with an amused glint.

  "..."

  Huang Xiujin wrinkled his nose in resignation, quickly gng around before pig up his teacup and using the lid to brush away the tea leaves. He sipped his tea, one mouthful at a time.

  But even though he was trying to keep a low profile, the drunken old man still walked over to him. A wave of alcohol fumes assaulted Huang Xiujin's nostrils, making him grimace. To make matters worse, the drunkard patted him on the shoulder, causing the tea in his cup to spill onto his clothes.

  "Oh, isn't this the old swindler from the Cloudsea Pavilion? Tsk tsk, you were sant in your youth, ued throughout Azure Clion, with no one among your peers in Azure Clion able to match you. What were you always ranting about? ht, you wao look down upon everyone in Azure Cloud."

  "Tsk tsk, a hundred years have passed since we st met, and you're still at the middle stage of Golden Core, haven't made any progress at all? Oh dear, and your lifespan is almost up, isn't it?"

  Well, now all my background has been exposed.

  He gnashed his teeth, somewhat exasperated. "You drunken madman, don't go too far! If this weren't the Li family residence, believe me, I..."

  The drunken madman rolled his eyes. His filthy, bck fingers, with dirt crusted under his nails, poi Huang Xiujin. "This sly old fox, is he also one of our own?"

  One of our own???

  Hmm???

  Huang Xiujin stared at Li Dalong and his wife, blinkiedly, as if to say, bribing them is ohing, but one of our own? Aren't you afraid of death, colluding with such a vilinous and dangerous person?

  But to his surprise, Li Dalong nodded, quickly stood up, cupped his hands iing, and then touched the aral tablet beside him. "Senior, have yht the item?"

  The drunken madman g the aral tablet. "Hmm, this tablet only has the character 'Li' on it. It seems to be the right pce, and the feeling is right too."

  His expression became slightly more respectful as he took a rge gulp of wine.

  "Of course I brought it. I re you two have also gathered quite a bit of informatio's put it all together and see what we have. This matter has bee quite serious; we'll even needed six divio calcute the oute."

  Li Dalong didn't hesitate. His ste ring shimmered.

  Huang Xiujin looked up and saw more than a dozen spirit stones, each shimmering with various lights, rising into the air. His face, which had just torted in displeasure at the drunken madman's appearanow became a picture of astonishment.

  For the first time, he wao curse.

  A message from an assassin and a demonic cultivator was ohing, but he was the one who had delivered the news first. But now...

  The Li family, you've hidden yourselves well! Just how many friends have you secretly made behind my back all these years???

  Apparently reag his breaking point, he looked up at the sky and sighed. No longer g about the drunken madman, he focused on sipping his tea.
