Chapter 463: Chapter 469: Cooperation Chapter 463: Chapter 469: Cooperation “Halt, who goes there! This is the territory of the Wanxian Li Clan, outsiders are not to be allowed to approach!”
Even though the patrolling mber was only a Foundation Establishnt cultivator, they faced the Profound Ice Sect’s Fifth Elder, a Golden Core, without shrinking back, warning firmly, “If you remain obstinately ignorant, then do not bla the Li family for being impolite!”
Their ‘arrogance’ stemd from having Li Zhirui, a Nascent Soul True Lord, and several third-rank Mountain Guardian Spirit Beasts under the family’s control.
The forr could deter many cultivators, while the latter could take direct action against those who refused to heed warnings, showing them the strength of the Li family.
Although the Li family itself did not have many Golden Core cultivators, only Li Shiqing, Li Shilian, Li Zhixuan, and a total of six people, but when adding those protector Spirit Beasts, as well as Contracted Spirit Beasts, the Li family had nearly twenty at the Golden Core level.
Plus, as ti went on, that number would only increase more and more explosively!
The Fifth Elder’s face showed a trace of displeasure; after all, he was a Golden Core True Person and deserved respect, but he was being treated so rudely by a re Foundation Establishnt cultivator!
However, thinking of his purpose for coming here, he could only suppress his negative emotions, though his voice still betrayed his unhappiness, “I am Lei Feng, the Fifth Elder of Shen Leishan, and I co bearing a ssage from Cloud Thunder True Lord to visit True Lord Zhirui.”
Actually, there’s a very easy way to differentiate a Golden Core cultivator of a family from one of a sect, by seeing if they have a Taoist na or not!
In general, Golden Core cultivators from sects are given a Taoist na by a senior during their Core Formation ceremony, which is similar to a family’s generation na and signifies orderly inheritance.
For instance, Shen Leishan’s two Nascent Soul True Lords, Yun Lei and Qing Lei, the current Sect Leader Lei Tian, and the Fifth Elder Lei Feng all have Taoist nas that signify they are peers within the sa generation of cultivators.
Yet sects, while valuing the order of succession, still prioritize strength; for example, if the Fifth Elder were to break through and beco a Nascent Soul cultivator, although his Taoist na would not change, Lei Tian would have to address him as Master Uncle, and Yun Lei and Qing Lei would call him Junior Brother.
Thus, family cultivators, who are nad after their generation nas once their Spiritual Roots are tested, seldom bother to think up a Taoist na.
Let’s get back to the story!
The patrol mber, upon hearing that the visitor was an Elder from Shen Leishan, looked at him with eyes filled with hatred, for if he was powerful enough, he would have struck already.
“Wait here! I will contact the Clan Leader to see how he wants to deal with this matter,” the captain of the squad said unapologetically, with no respect or awe for a Golden Core cultivator.
With the developnt of the Li family, communication among clan mbers no longer required running about seeking others or using the expensive Communication Talisman, since they could use the Identity Jade issued by the family to make direct contact with each other.
“The Profound Ice Sect has sent an Elder, and with commands from Cloud Thunder True Lord?” Li Dayuan frowned, a sudden visit would likely an an important matter to discuss with the Li family.
“What matter could it be?” Li Dayuan reviewed past records in his mind, unable to find any clues to understand the visitor’s intention.
After thinking, he still decided to et with him to see what his purpose was.
“Welco, elder, to Wanxian Island. I had so matters to attend to urgently and couldn’t welco you from afar, I hope you can forgive !”
The Fifth Elder Lei Feng waved his hand with a smile, “Not at all, not at all.”
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lei Feng finally spoke of the purpose of his sudden visit, “I wonder if True Lord Zhirui is currently on the island?”
“You wish to see Uncle Shiling?” Li Dayuan furrowed his brows slightly and said, “He is indeed on the island at the mont, but he is imrsed in cultivation and likely won’t et with you.”
“If you have anything to discuss, just tell , and I’ll pass the ssage on to Uncle Shiling.” Li Dayuan was also curious to see what they were hiding up their sleeves.
“Master Yun Lei would like to discuss the Taixu Secret Realm with True Lord Zhirui, hoping that our two families can cooperate on this matter to jointly resist the pressure from the Devil Race and then enter the Secret Realm.” Since he couldn’t et with Li Zhirui, he settled for the next best thing, and it wasn’t a bad idea to relay the information to the Clan Leader of the Li family.
“There’s a Secret Realm in the Great Void Province?”
Li Dayuan wasn’t even born the last ti the Secret Realm appeared in the world, so naturally, he was unaware of it, but surely the other party wouldn’t threaten him with sothing like this—they could easily verify its truth.
Regarding the proposal from Shen Leishan to cooperate with the Li family, Li Dayuan was not as eager and excited as Lei Feng had imagined; he simply nodded indifferently and said, “I understand, I will tell him about it after Uncle Shiling cos out of seclusion.”
With the conversation reaching this point, Lei Feng knew it was ti to take his leave; he didn’t linger any further and left with a hint of dejection.
On Li Dayuan’s side, he also used the Identity Jade to relay the course of events to both Li Zhirui and Li Shiqing.
“The Taixu Secret Realm?” Li Zhirui put down the Spiritual dicine he was holding and muttered to himself.
He had never forgotten about that Secret Realm!
It was precisely this Secret Realm that had caused Li Shiqing to lose a significant amount of his lifespan and severely damaged his physical body, forcing him to rely on Life-Extending Spiritual Objects to survive until now.
And the pri culprits behind all this were Shen Leishan, the Taixu Devil Race, and the Profound Ice Sect!
But as of now, the Li family’s strength was still relatively weak; they were far from being able to confront all three powers at once, and even facing just one of them would leave the Li family with no advantages.
Therefore, Li Zhirui could only continue to suppress the hatred in his heart.
“If I rember correctly, the Profound Ice Sect played a trick on Shen Leishan last ti, sneaking into the Taixu Secret Realm…” Li Zhirui’s eyes flickered with contemplation.
On top of that, Shen Leishan’s particularly keen reaction this ti made Li Zhirui certain that there must be so precious Spiritual dicine within the Secret Realm.
“Strength, oh strength, if only the Li family had enough power, why would we need to join hands with our enemies!” exclaid Li Zhirui with a sense of helplessness.
Knowing that the Secret Realm contained so sort of precious Spiritual Objects, Li Zhirui couldn’t just give up easily because if he was lucky, he might be able to obtain a fourth-grade Spirit Seed, among other treasures.
On their own, the Li family was simply not strong enough to make the Devil Race of the Great Void Province back down; they could only consider an alliance with Shen Leishan as a possibility.
So it was destined that the Li family would join hands and cooperate with Shen Leishan.
Unless the Li family decided not to get involved with the Taixu Secret Realm at all, then they could ignore this matter.
But that was clearly impossible.
“Uncle, what do you think?”
“Of course, we should choose to cooperate. After all, without Shen Leishan’s help to share the burden, we alone cannot withstand the Devil Race of the Great Void Province,” said Li Shiqing, seeming not the least bit angry about the culprits who had caused him to end up in his current plight.
Actually, this was quite normal; after all, the incidents from that ti had passed for over a hundred years, and any deep-rooted hatred had already beco diluted by the passage of ti.
