Li Wei watched as each child, guided by the Primordial Blood Tree's omen, cultivated and grew in their designated locations.
Without exception, they all developed an incredibly wild temperament this year, and various traits manifested within them.
Li Wei called the fourth generation the most ferocious generation.
If the first three generations were granted courage by his ancestral tablet, then the children of the fourth generation, because of Old Pig, possessed a fearlessness bordering on madness.
And now, this madness was descending upon their enemies like a butcher's knife.
...
[Azurewind Town - Xiao Family Estate]
From within this two-hundred-year-old branch family in Azurewind Town, a final, muffled groan echoed.
The gates of the Xiao family estate swung open.
Blood-stained guards and retainers of the Liu family emerged, escorting the Eighth Young Master and Eighth Young Mistress of the Liu family's main lineage.
The guards and retainers couldn't help but steal glances at the Eighth Young Mistress, quickly lowering their heads afterward.
This young woman, who had risen from the position of a servant girl to bee the Eighth Young Mistress of the Liu family, was undeniably alluring, a figure who often occupied the dreams of both men and some women.
"Hmph, that insignificant family from the countryside, how dare they covet a woman from our Liu family? Trying to scare me with the Azure Cloud Pavilion, ruining my good mood."
Liu Yifeng spat on the ground. No matter how naive and simple he might be, he was still a direct descendant of the Liu family.
"The Eighth Young Master is right."
A nearby elderly retainer, at the peak of Foundation Establishment, stroked his beard and chuckled. "The Xiao family is nothing to worry about. Even if the Azure Cloud Pavilion has an ancestor from the Xiao family, they are ultimately detached from worldly affairs and pose no threat."
Li Tianyue nodded slightly and prepared to return to the Azure Cloud region with Liu Yifeng. Before leaving, she paused, turned to the retainer, and said, "Make sure it's done cleanly. Next time I e to Azurewind Town, I don't want to hear the word 'Xiao' again."
"Yes, Young Mistress."
The retainer hurriedly bowed and nodded. Watching Li Tianyue's departing figure, he stroked his beard and sighed. "Such a bewitching woman. If the Liu family doesn't handle this carefully, they'll truly be possessed by a demon."
He had a vague feeling that since this Eighth Young Mistress entered the family after the old master's death, the branch of the family they controlled had been gradually growing in power. Unfortunately, it wasn't Liu Yifeng who was driving this unrestrained growth, but this Young Mistress, who came from a humble background as a servant girl.
As he finished speaking, blood flowed from the gates of the Azurewind Xiao family estate, pouring out through the drains in an endless stream.
...
Such events were happening on the same day, in different locations!
[Special Event—Xiao Family Elimination Plan]
[Your descendant, Li Tianshuang, received the family's order from the swampy jungle! She led a thousand crocodiles, various wolves, tigers, leopards, and countless birds, beasts, insects, and pigs toward the village where one of Xiao Huang'er's disciples was born!]
[Your descendant, Li Tianqi, wearing the Heavenly Weight Turtle Shell, received the order and headed towards a Xiao family mine!]
[Li Yaowen ordered the Dawn assassins, divided into twelve teams, to begin exterminating the various branches of the Xiao family at dawn!]
[Li Yaoqing ordered the demons of the Thunderfire Demonic Cave to emerge from their lair...]
A bloody massacre was unfolding silently.
It was like an unknown plague spreading across a vast area, carrying the Li family's boundless rage, orchestrated by Li Yaowen, beginning to infect everything in its path.
[Azure Cloud Region]
As dawn broke, a peculiar group of people journeyed through the morning mist.
Among them was a sturdy, middle-aged man. His honest and simple face held an unwavering determination, etched with the marks of time and experience. Dressed in plain clothes, he stood at the forefront. Most striking was the rope tightly bound around his waist and the object he carried on his back, covered in white cloth, resembling a massive coffin.
Beside him was a petite woman. Though strikingly beautiful, she possessed a rustic simplicity. Her hair was tied in a bun, typical of elderly women, and she wore old-fashioned jewelry. Her attire was a simple and loose-fitting peasant skirt.
Behind this couple were four others.
A young man with an exceptionally handsome face wore a black robe. Two strands of hair framed his face, unable to conceal the sharp glint in his eyes. His hands, hidden within his sleeves, swayed gently. From the black case on his back came the clinking sound of metal clashing against metal, as if something were struggling within.
A burly, bull-like man with a bare torso, his muscles bulging, walked barefoot, wearing only a pair of knee-length, tattered shorts. He was pletely hairless—no eyebrows, no hair, no beard—likely scorched off by fire, which only added to his fierce look. With a silver left arm, he looked like someone you'd best avoid provoking.
Yet, this fierce-looking man was carefully pushing an elderly woman in a wheelchair, a somewhat ical sight.
Beside them was a woman with a ponytail, tall and imposing, clad in armor that clinked with every step. A ferocious pig's head, plete with fearsome tusks, was carved on the front of her armor. A large saber with a ghostly design hung at her waist, giving her the appearance of a general.
In the thick fog, any passerby who encountered them fled as if they had seen a ghost.
Just then, they halted their journey. A woman emerged from the mist before them. She wore a tattered Daoist robe, her long hair disheveled, and her small face was grimy.
On these streets, they were like figures emerging from the mist, only to disappear back into it.
The first two generations of the Li family, after many years, were finally gathering together again.
