Spirit boats, flying swords, demonic beasts... Azure Cloud region's vast army pressed towards the whole of Starfall Region like dark clouds!
[Special Event – Support Starfall Region]
[In order for your clansmen to successfully seize the Heaven-Defying Grand Array, resist the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, and break through to the Nascent Soul stage, your family has united all of the Azure Cloud region to support the Starfall Region and launch a war against the Wu Clan of the Starfall Region!]
"Is this the kind of influence the Li family has now?"
Li Wei's face was full of smiles. He still remembered that many years ago, the Li family was a target of public scorn in the Azure Cloud region. But now, with just a single command from the Li family, the members of the Azure Cloud region even dared to kill an official of the Supervision Office from the Imperial City!
At this moment, in the scene.
Li Kuangren and the others were traveling with the large supporting army from the Azure Cloud region. This support mission had taken half of the Azure Cloud region's experts and thirty percent of its cultivators. The Li family's in-law, the newly appointed Prince Feng Chunlin, was also among them.
Feng Chunlin and Chen Qingtian, the former and current leaders of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, stood together. The two exchanged a glance, their expressions somewhat strange.
"Kuangren, do you know why I support this operation?" Feng Chunlin simply gazed at everything on the ground.
Li Kuangren was slightly taken aback. As they advanced, he saw that the scenery of the Starfall Region was different from the Azure Cloud region. Here, there were ruins from battles everywhere. The broken walls and collapsed buildings seemed to bear the imprints of the prosperous traces of human life that once existed. Demonic beasts by the roadside gnawed on the decaying corpses of the dead. An indescribable emotion welled up in his heart. "Naturally, it's for the Azure Cloud region. The Starfall Region is near the Azure Cloud region; if the Starfall Region falls, our Azure Cloud region will be attacked from both the front and rear."
"That's right."
A satisfied smile spread across Feng Chunlin's face. "For more than thirty years, the entire Azure Cloud region has battled for their land. We all share this struggle. Behind us stand our families, friends, and everything we cherish. However, the Azure Cloud region also has its common folk, who will continue to thrive for generations. With immense power comes immense responsibility. We cultivators carry the future of the whole Azure Cloud region on our shoulders."
Li Kuangren nodded slightly, still staring blankly at the terrifying scene on the ground. He suddenly flashed down and rescued a pair of children who were being chased by demonic beasts in the ruins.
[Your descendant, Li Kuangren, has for many years witnessed the people of Merit City fighting desperately against the Wu Clan for their homeland. He has seen the cultivators of the Azure Cloud region risking life and limb, and even the weak commoners taking up arms to defend their homes. He has been constantly discussing the major affairs within and outside the Azure Cloud region with his brother-in-law, Feng Chunlin.]
[A belief gradually grew in his heart: to let the people of the Azure Cloud region live a peaceful life, and to ensure that the border would no longer be disturbed by the Wu Clan. Obtained Trait – King's Potential]
[His influence increased by 20%. When leading cultivators in battle, his personal strength increases by 20%. Subordinates under his leadership have their combat power increased by 3%.]
"Hmm? The Primordial Blood Tree really didn't misjudge him. Is our Li family about to produce a true noble?"
Seeing Li Kuangren's potential, Li Wei was stunned.
After all, influenced by what he constantly saw and heard, Li Kuangren had the deepest interactions with the Feng family. It wasn't just Feng Chunlin; he had also been greatly influenced by Feng Mi over the years.
However, Li Wei didn't mind. Each of his descendants had their own lives. Whatever they wanted to do, as long as it wasn't too excessive or harmful to the family's interests, the family would strongly support it.
...
Time passed quickly. The great army of the Azure Cloud region advanced towards the Starfall Region and joined forces with the cultivators who were resisting in the Starfall Region. The previously unfavorable battle situation instantly began to reverse, and the Wu Clan began to retreat, requesting aid from the Endless Forest at the border of the Starfall Region.
The previous structure of the Starfall Region was similar to that of the Azure Cloud region: six major powers. Their inheritances varied in length, with the strongest, the Myriad Arts Sect, having an inheritance of just over a thousand years, with three Nascent Soul cultivators. Their third-generation Sect Master, Ye Xiunian, was not even seven hundred years old, at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and was unmatched within the Starfall Region.
The Region Prince's Mansion, the Mi family, was vastly different from the Feng family of the Azure Cloud region. At the very beginning of the war, the former Region Prince, Mi Gaoyang, led the strong fighters and battled on the front lines!
To buy enough time for the Starfall Region to set up defenses, he led the troops of the Mi's Mansion and, using a secret treasure, perished along with two Wu Clan Priests.
The current Region Prince, Mi Zhunqi, appeared young, a little over one hundred and twenty years of age, at the peak of the Golden Core stage, a peerless genius. He was refined and humorous. At this moment, he was meeting with the major sects of the Azure Cloud region, and he cupped his hands towards Feng Chunlin. "That Azure Cloud region has come to our aid in this time of crisis, I am deeply grateful. Otherwise, the foundation laid down by generations of ancestors would truly have been destroyed in my hands."
Feng Chunlin smiled faintly, then pulled Mi Zhunqi aside to talk privately about something.
Mi Shufeng, who had once pursued Li Changyao in the Li family, was Mi Zhunqi's grandson. He was currently in the Li family's group, looking around, a bit relieved and a bit disappointed. Finally, he asked Li Kuangren, "Senior, I wonder how Miss Changyao is doing?"
"..."
Hearing this, Li Kuangren glanced at this young master of the Mi family, who had once pursued his daughter and was rumored to be somewhat of a playboy. He was silent for a long time. He suddenly understood a little why Feng Chunlin had always harbored a kind of inexplicable resentment towards him back then.
Mi Shufeng was still unaware that Li Kuangren was Li Changyao's father. He looked at Li Kuangren's murderous gaze. "Senior, why... why are you staring at me like that? I'm scared."
"Brother, leave it to me."
Li Kuanghua, who was standing nearby, tugged at Li Kuangren's clothes, then showed Mi Shufeng a gentle smile. "You must be Mi Shufeng, right? I'm Changyao's aunt. I often hear Changyao mention you."
"Re... really?" Mi Shufeng was overjoyed.
"Really."
Li Kuanghua smiled slightly, not mentioning that Li Changyao had once talked about 'some idiot whose name she couldn't remember, who was beaten black and blue by her Shoo-Shoo Pink Bow.' Mysteriously, she said, "Come, follow me to a secluded place, and I'll tell you all about it."
