Ten mier...

  No corpses could be seen within Medie King Valley. Only the Li family members remained, and Fairy Yao, who io the walls in a spread-eagle position with nail-like Spirit ons, uo move. The light had vanished from Yao Xian's eyes; she looked as if she had lost her soul.

  She saw it.

  A blood tree with a crimson appeared within Medie King Valley, its roots pierg through the living beings of the valley one by one. She saw tless zombies and innumerable crazed demonic beasts. These beasts and fiends were tearing and biting the people of Medie King Valley, and the zombies slowly dragged the drained corpses into a silver coffin.

  A demonic figure emerged from the silver coffin, its body filled with demoniergy but devoid of sentiehis demon and the Li family's demonic tree almost fought over the blood, and she withe demon gradually growing stronger, advang from the Qi Refining stage to the False Core Formation stage.

  "Demons, they are all demons!"

  Yao Xian'er murmured.

  She saw them, these heartless fiends, gathered together, feeling no remorse for the ret sughter, putting on a hypocritical show of passion before her.

  The first feions of the Li family gathered together, erected an altar, k before the aral tablet engraved with the character "Li," and cried out, "May the aors protect us!"

  The cloudy eyes of the seven demonic fiends flickered, briefly regaining a moment of crity. They k and bowed, one by oo the first two geions of the Li family.

  "Child... has bee a demon!"

  "If we truly lose our minds one day, Grandfather, you must throw us into the coffin a Father and Mother in to beat us until we regain our senses."

  "It's alright, Mother. Don't worry. As long as we have blood to drink, we'll be fine. Your child believes we maintain our sanity."

  "Yes, we have the recs. I don't know why, but as long as we look at those days we spent in Green Valley Vilge, the demonic thoughts in our hearts be suppressed."

  "..."

  The seven demonic fiends showed simple and ho smiles.

  Yao Xian'er couldn't uand. These demons deserved to be ned by all; they were devoid of humanity!

  But how could she know that it recisely those she sidered humahose who itted the most inhumas, that drove the Seven Sons to abandon their humanity. Now, they were struggling to hold onto the st vestiges of their human nature.

  "Father, Uncle, Sed Uncle!"

  The children of the Li family's feio and bowed to the Seven Sons. Even though they had already learned about the Seven Sons succumbing to demonifluence, seeing their current state still brought tears to their eyes.

  They knew deep down that their fathers, like them, had endured unspeakable experiences.

  The omens given to them by the Primordial Blood Tree were never just trials.

  Whehey had free time, they would recall Tailin Town and Green Valley Vilge. There, they had fields of spiritual crops, kind vilgers, and family gatherings. There, they could casually walk into any vilger's home for a meal, spar with their peers using wooden swords, and every day was filled with ughter and joy.

  Sometimes, they would even feel a sense of pride that they were members of the Li family, that it was the Li family who had led Green Valley Vilge to its current prosperity. At least in Green Valley Vilge, they were born with boundless glory.

  But now, they had left the vilge, left Tailin Town, and never saw those familiar faces again. They rarely had the ce to reuh their family.

  They had to battle ferocious beasts and tend with the forces of nature. They also learhat the world was filled with deceit and treachery. Who wouldn't want to live a life of innobsp;Shedding y and childishness and slowly being mature and strong was never an easy task.

  Growing up was so painful. They were like naked mortals, running through a jungle of thorns, far more painful than falling off their great-grandfather's back.

  The children of the feion, for the first time, felt the deep pain of growing up.

  Their seven fathers, who once eve so far as to "forbid people from urinating and defeg irine," should have been even more childish thahey should be yelling at the top of their lungs, their voices high-pitched, demanding to know why they were g here. And then, with a swift kick each, they should send them flying into the wall, stuck so firmly they couldn't be pried off.

  For the first time, they began to miss that feeling.

  But now, the Seven Sons simply stood silently, their eyes bloodshot beh their demon-marked faces.

  Their fathers had finally bee the responsible, mature, and quiet figures they had wished for as children, no longer scolding or fussing. But sometimes, what they had wished for as children turned out to be truly heir fathers had to endure far more than they ever did.

  "Father, Uncle, Sed Uncle!"

  The children of the feion called out again, and this time, the Seven Sons finally mao force a strained smile.

  Li Yaowen seemed to sehe children's distress. She gently waved her hand, and the children stood up. Li Yaowen smiled and said, "Alright, with your Fourth Aunt here, they'll be fine."

  "Yes!"

  Everyone nodded slightly.

  "Demons! You're all demons!!!"

  Yao Xian'er, pio the wall, finally shouted out. She uood. This Li family never cared whether their family members had succumbed to demonifluence. All they cared about was whether they could invade a peaceful pce like Medie King Valley and sughter her kied disciples!

  Amidst the roars, she saw the glint of sharpness in Li Yaozu's eyes in the distand the swradually enrging before her eyes.

  Then came endless pain.

  "Aagh!!!"

  Li Yaozu, using his sword, was mercilessly fying her skin!

  No one paid any attention to Yao Xian'er's wails. The Li family members gathered together. They still remembered the words of their aors: it should be the enemy who grieves, the enemy who suffers, not them.

  They looked towards the distao the pce where Li Dalong had fought Elder Qiuye and Xiao Huang!

  "I returned after sensing your auras."

  As the head of the family, Li Dalong gazed calmly into the distance. "Yaoqing," he said, "thank you for inviting Senior Drunken Madman. He is truly powerful."

  Li Yaoqing nodded slightly. "Even within the Demon Cave, the Drunken Madman is a top-tier expert."

  Li Yundou, one of the Seven Sons, with his bloodshot eyes, fshed a cold look. "Grandfather," he asked, "are they... still alive?"

  Upon hearing this question, everyone focused their attention.

  They khat if Li Yaowen wished, with the support of their aors and the Li family's current strength and influence, eliminating Qiuye and Xiao Huang discreetly would be an effortless task!

  Yet, they were still gathered here because they wao take reveogether, to repay the Li family's suffering pletely!

  "They are still alive."

  Li Dalong, with a smile, uttered the words everyone loo hear.

  They waheir enemies alive. If they died easily, it would be a grave disrespect to the Pig Demon King!

  The Heaven-Pierg Coffin rose into the air, gradually growing rger until its surface could aodate all the Li family members.

  Li Dalong led his family onto the coffin and soared into the sky.

  It was as if the Li family, riding the clouds, were bringing the coffin to their ehe enemies would be forever trampled beh their feet, their corpses subjected to eorment within the dark ae fines of the coffin.
