Chapter 176: Year 90th, The Grand Ceremony

Meanwhile, in various locations surrounding the Azure Cloud Pavilion, other Li family descendants were also carrying out their missions, just like Li Tianyi.

Many had already begun collecting spoils of war, sorting through the pills and rare treasures they didn't need and placing them before the ancestral altar.

Li Wei also received various messages.

[Your descendant, Li Yaotie, led numerous spirit puppets and zombies to attack the Wu family. He discovered that their strongest cultivators were only at the False Core Formation stage. The information from Li Yaowen about the Wu family possibly having Golden Core experts was completely false. He strongly suspected that his Fourth Sister was maliciously retaliating against him for his loose tongue. While besieging the Wu family, he was so angry that he jumped around, and he requested your permission to go to a more dangerous place.]

The muscular Li Yaotie was kowtowing and complaining, "Ancestor, this is bullying! How can a younger sister bully her elder brother like this? I..."

[Go to Medicine King Valley to provide support.]

Li Wei immediately blocked the scene. It wasn't that he didn't have other tasks for him, but Li Yaotie was simply too far away.

[Xu Cuihua, Bai Rourou, and the fourth-generation descendant Li Tianshuang, together attacked the Hundred Weapons Sect. Countless demonic beasts from the Silver Iron Forest and the Swamp Forest emerged, surrounding the Hundred Weapons Sect in layers. Jin Yu, the Golden Core ancestor of the Hundred Weapons Sect, activated the sect-protecting formation, vowing to defend the sect to the death. He then furiously hurled the sect's secret manual, the "Hundred Weapons Sect Secret Codex," at Xu Cuihua.]

[At Xu Cuihua's demand, Jin Yu and the Hundred Weapons Sect disciples made a blood oath, swearing that their disciples would never become enemies of the Li family. He also dispatched two Eighth-Grade Artifact Refiners to Green Valley Town to provide technical guidance and handed over a top-grade Spirit Weapon. Xu Cuihua then ceased her attack.]

[Following Jin Yu's suggestion, Xu Cuihua learned that the neighboring auction house, Crystal Lotus Pavilion, which had been oppressing the Hundred Weapons Sect for many years, was closely connected to the Azure Cloud Pavilion. The Li family members are asking you whether they should immediately and secretly join forces with Jin Yu and the three False Core Formation cultivators from the Hundred Weapons Sect to attack Crystal Lotus Pavilion...]

That Jin Yu was a real muscleman, his bulging muscles covered in veins, with a head of fiery red hair.

Seeing the three formidable women of the Li family still kowtowing towards the ancestral tablets they had set up, he was quite puzzled. However, he didn't say much, only urging them, "So, what's the decision? I'm truly afraid of your Li family now. Besides, the reason our Hundred Weapons Sect posted those wanted notices was because we couldn't disobey the Azure Cloud Pavilion. We never actually sent anyone to hunt down the Li family."

"Now, as long as we work together to take down Crystal Lotus Pavilion, you'll have leverage over my Hundred Weapons Sect. This way, I can have peace of mind."

It wasn't until the ancestral tablet gestured the character "good" in front of Xu Cuihua that Xu Cuihua turned around and nodded slightly. "My Li family has contributed more to this effort," she declared, "so we will have the first pick of the spoils. We'll take seventy percent, and your Hundred Weapons Sect can have thirty percent. From now on, the Hundred Weapons Sect is a friend of the Li family."

"If this is a trap..."

Jin Yu's lips twitched. "Fellow Daoist," he said, "the Azure Cloud Pavilion has yet to send any experts to help. Your Li family has so many powerful individuals, yet only three of you have appeared, and you've already brought my Hundred Weapons Sect to the brink of destruction. Besides, every member of your Li family is an outlaw. If you were to fall into my trap, wouldn't those monsters in your family slaughter my entire sect? Even I, Jin Yu, am not foolish enough to make the wrong choice here."

Xu Cuihua nodded slightly.

As they headed towards Crystal Lotus Pavilion, Jin Yu hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Everyone, why are you giving me thirty percent?"

Xu Cuihua replied, "No matter how treacherous or evil someone may be, my Li family has its principles. The Li family never mistreats its friends."

"Never mistreats its friends?"

Jin Yu paused, gazing at the backs of the Li family members, whose reputation had become legendary over the past seven years, surpassing even that of demons. He grinned, "Well then, it seems I, old Jin, haven't chosen the wrong side this time. Damn the Azure Cloud Pavilion! They treated our Hundred Weapons Sect like dogs!"

He glared at his three disciples behind him, who were also musclebound and whispering amongst themselves. "If you dare call me a coward again," he threatened, "I'll use you three rebellious apprentices as Spirit Weapon hammers!"

"..."

Seeing the four master and disciples moving slowly behind her, Li Tianshuang, dressed in animal hide and revealing her tanned skin, frowned. "Seniors," she urged, "please hurry up. We've already wasted a lot of time, and my Li family has other important matters to attend to."

"Alright!"

...

What a harmonious scene it was.

But this was also thanks to the joint planning of Li Wei and Li Yaowen.

They had even calculated the timing for dealing with their enemies, as well as the intervals between potential reinforcements arriving from other forces besides the Azure Cloud Pavilion.

Half a day was enough time for the Li family to seek advantages and avoid harm.

Of course, this was assuming that the Nascent Soul experts continued to adhere to conventions and didn't intervene against the Li family.

If Nascent Soul experts really did come, Li Wei wasn't afraid!

[Your descendant, Li Yaoqing, along with the Primordial Blood Tree, the Ancestor Hall Guardian Beast, and two Golden Cores cultivators from the Thunderfire Cave, attacked Seastone Island. Within two hours, they eradicated all members of Seastone Island. The Primordial Blood Tree drank deeply of the blood spilled and conveys its utmost respect to you!]

[Your descendants, Li Tianqi, Li Tianniu, and Li Tianyue, along with a hundred elite Dawn assassins, have gone to Whitestone Mountain!]

[Your descendant...]

This time, disaster was befalling various locations centered around the Azure Cloud Pavilion!

[Your descendant, Li Tianming, infiltrated the Azure Cloud Pavilion. While everyone was focused on Li Yaoqing outside the mountain, he secretly assassinated a genius who had reached the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment at the young age of 52. Holding the ancestral tablet in his hands, he requests your praise.]

"..."

Li Wei quickly opened the scene and saw Li Tianming holding a dagger, his face covered in blood, excitedly staring at the corpse while holding the ancestral tablet. Li Wei's facial muscles twitched. "Why did you get involved as well?" he asked.

He hadn't included Li Tianming in this operation and had no idea how the fellow even knew about the family's secret actions.

After all... this unfilial descendant, Li Tianming, was too unpredictable. If he carelessly caused some trouble, it would be a real disaster.

Never would he have imagined that this brat would actually sneak back to the Azure Cloud Pavilion.

However, seeing that Li Tianming had contributed, Li Wei casually bestowed upon him "Ancestor's Warm Embrace x1," making Li Tianming so thrilled that he spun around in circles.

Watching the Li family's descendants complete their assassination missions in twelve different locations, Li Wei knew that from this day forward, the entire Azure Cloud region should realize something!

The Azure Cloud Pavilion was no longer the savior it was hundreds of thousands of years ago.

And the Li family, like ghosts, could annihilate any faction right under the Azure Cloud Pavilion's nose!

They should remember the fear that the Li family brought upon the Azure Cloud region on this day.

But this was far from enough. This was only a part of the Li family's revenge plan!

He started moving the mouse, clicking on the icons of each Li family descendant.

At that moment, the ancestral tablets before them rose into the air!

Everyone knelt at the altar, commencing the Grand Ceremony, a ritual previously held only at the family estate.

[Year 90th, the once-a-decade Grand Ceremony begins!]

[Your descendants are presenting offerings to you—]

[Hundred Spirits Pill x10]

[Red Diamond Fruit x5]

[Life-Giving Azure Cloud Pill...]

The sole purpose of each of these pills and natural treasures was to increase spiritual power!

Li Wei looked at the room filled with spirit power-enhancing natural treasures and pills.

He frantically clicked the mouse.

[Do you wish to consume 50 incense merit points to instantly absorb the spiritual power of one 'Hundred Spirits Pill'?]

[Yes!]

[Congratulations! You have gained 50 spiritual power points.]

With each click of the mouse, Li Wei could clearly feel his dantian expanding!

Meanwhile, the Li family's descendants withdrew the altar and the incense.

They all headed towards Medicine King Valley at full speed!
