Hua Xianggu joyfully said: “Once you want to cause trouble for the Li Family, there will be fighting.”
Xiao Hanshan excitedly said: “Once there’s fighting, it will turn chaotic—wonderful, truly wonderful.”
The three burst into laughter, clutching their bellies in delight.
After laughing, Song Yan suddenly regained his composure and cautioned: “Tell the youngsters to restrain themselves, hide within the Crane Spirit Sect, and avoid senseless killing—it’s still not the time.”
Hua Xianggu said: “Got it, got it. They are just Loose Cultivators now; they won’t act without orders.”
…
…
On a cold, solitary cliff, a young man in a white robe stood with skirts billowing, seeing before him, apart from the vast realm itself, the invisible secret realm barriers.
A grain of sand, a world; even looking upon the empty earth, it might, in fact, be bustling.
This place is not like Emperor’s Heart World, where there’s nowhere to go beyond the heavens.
Here, once breaking through Divinity Transformation, one can choose an “Immortal Position” and leave freely, search for resources, experience events, and pursue the path of Profound Yellow. As for those who choose the “Divine List,” they follow the Master of Heaven and Earth in service.
Thus, among the cultivators wandering this expanse, those in the Divinity Transformation Realm are the most numerous.
The young man stands here, unaware of how many cultivators outside are on tiptoe looking up, wondering what tremendous upheaval this Li Family Head is going to cause, how much change will occur in this Cultivation Profound Land.
Swish!
As space gently fluctuates, a figure in a green robe with black cloth covering the eyes appears.
Li Jingfeng worshipfully bows to the youth and then says: “Family Head need not worry; without strength of self, anyone can be bullied. What seems unfavorable now has actually improved significantly compared to before.
Mediocre people cannot see this, they just curse at the slightest fault, causing unrest, unaware that this change is much better than the original conclusion.
I can be sure that if the Family Head had not acted strongly that day, the Li Family would surely have been like fish on a cutting board, at others’ mercy. But… now some plans must be made to promote a three-way alliance, linking my Li Family, the Crane Spirit Sect, and the Sea Break Sect.
With such prestige, cultivators from everywhere, even Loose Cultivators, will come, allowing my Li Family to grow rapidly…
Thus, we need to divert attention from my Li Family, let them see more of Changfeng Immortal Dynasty’s ferocity.
Changfeng Immortal Dynasty’s holding back is precisely to let us fight among ourselves, causing internal chaos.”
Song Yan’s expression subtly changed.
Li Jingfeng came from the Lower Realm, previously regarded as an unusual freak in the family, and today, it seems his presence made Li Jingfeng decide to step forth.
He would not treat Li Jingfeng as he did with little Wei’Er.
Little Wei’Er was a naive fool who couldn’t hatch a cunning plan, the kind of antagonist in a novel who’d be humiliated by the protagonist with a miserable end, both stupid and evil.
But Li Jingfeng is highly vigilant.
Having turned He Wuya into an Outer Body Incarnation, he naturally learned of He Wuya’s scheming.
Li Jingfeng’s judgment is extremely accurate.
Therefore, he couldn’t dismiss it lightly.
Being the Family Head, he can be proud but cannot be foolish; otherwise… this person before him will certainly detect something amiss.
Song Yan squinted and said: “Jingfeng ah…”
Li Jingfeng listened carefully.
Song Yan said: “The current turmoil is internal, not external.”
Li Jingfeng pondered and said: “Family Head, forgive my frankness, the way you crushed He Wuya could be shared with the family elders, or even… exaggerated somewhat, allowing stability.”
Song Yan laughed and said: “Do you know that Li Zhongshan had long disclosed all details of the Li Family to He Wuya? Before coming here, He Wuya already knew that I planned to encounter him with the grand chessboard, and he even knew the layout of my family’s Memorial Hall inside out.”
Li Jingfeng was stunned, not expecting the Family Head to have such means to know all this, making the youth’s once weary silhouette seem unfathomable.
But, he swiftly and fiercely said: “If so, might as well cut through with a sharp knife… kill Li Zhongshan.”
Song Yan said: “No hurry.”
Li Jingfeng wished to say more but thought better and said: “Jingfeng greatly admires the current Family Head and is willing to serve with devotion.”
Song Yan nodded and responded harmoniously.
Li Jingfeng bowed and took his leave.
As he left, not far away, a black-robed female cultivator descended from the sky.
This was none other than the “Ignorant Female Cultivator of the Han Family—Han Lingzi” as the elders of the family called her.
Han Lingzi walked with hands behind her, kicking a small stone, saying: “Didn’t expect you to be pretty good.”
Song Yan turned to look at Han Lingzi, who was nimble and lively, more straightforward and fearless compared to the soft and gentle Han Weizi.
He beckoned with a nod.
Han Lingzi raised her head arrogantly, saying: “Considering binding with you, it’s not quite enough.”
Song Yan’s figure abruptly moved, in the next moment appearing by Han Lingzi’s side, wrapping an arm around her waist, pulling her tightly against him.
Han Lingzi blushed and said: “What are you doing?”
Song Yan said nothing, merely kissed her deeply.
Han Lingzi’s delicate body quivered, but she didn’t resist, instead, responding fiercely.
As they responded, an Array Shield isolating sight and sound instantly formed, inside it, shoes were kicked away, sashes were undone, and two figures slowly merged into one.
A long time passed…
A longer time passed…
Han Lingzi lay exhausted, gazing skyward, then suddenly stubbornly sat up, struck Song Yan’s chest hard, and said: “Previously, Li Xuanchan was awfully dumb and petty, but you are truly bad.”
Song Yan gently adjusted her hair, asking: “Are you tired?”
Han Lingzi said: “I’m beginning to admire Han Weizi.”
Song Yan said: “She will admire you too.”
Han Lingzi scoffed, but her beautiful eyes sparkled endlessly, then she said: “Forget it, since there’s no one else to bind with, you’ll have to do.”
She raised her hand, intending to use the “Shadow” technique but was stopped by Song Yan.
“Wait until you reach the Realm Realm to bind.”
Song Yan worried that Han Lingzi would discover his true power.
And once Han Lingzi reaches the Realm Realm, he should be capable of completely controlling the situation with the Ghost Cultivators, at the very least… gain significant control.
…
…
The following year…
Crane Spirit Sect welcomed two secret guests.
One was “Song Yan’s Outer Body Incarnation, Lu Jueyun,” and the other was “Sea Slaughter Demon Monarch of Sea Break Sect.”
Upon being ushered into the secret hall by He Wuya, Sea Slaughter Demon Monarch directly asked: “Do you wish to rid of the Li Family?”
He Wuya shook his head, saying: “Li Xuanchan is the Vice Sect Leader of our sect; why would I…”
Before he could finish, Sea Slaughter Demon Monarch interrupted, laughing: “Then why hasn’t this Vice Sect Leader come to the sect again? Wise brother Wuya, stop pretending. We’ve already investigated the situation with the Li Family, and finding nothing but the childlike Ice Abyss Phoenix. So, what? Isn’t it time to act?”
“Song Yan’s Outer Body Incarnation, He Wuya” lowered his head in contemplation.
Beside him, “Song Yan’s Outer Body Incarnation, Lu Jueyun” began carefully trying to persuade.
Occasionally, Sea Slaughter Demon Monarch also joined in the persuasion.
A lengthy time passed…
“Song Yan’s Outer Body Incarnation, He Wuya” was finally swayed by “Song Yan’s Outer Body Incarnation, Lu Jueyun” and Sea Slaughter Demon Monarch. He nodded and said: “Alright!”
