Chapter 173: Greetings, Esteemed Seniors Of The Azure Cloud Pavilion

Chapter 173: Greetings, Esteemed Seniors Of The Azure Cloud Pavilion"If you had known this would happen, why did you act as you did?"

The vengeful spirits charged toward Xiao Huang'er, and the renowned Elder Xiao's expression became contorted as she was confronted by the accusations of her former family members.

She went from terrified disbelief to uncontrollable fear, and finally, in a fit of madness, she began slaughtering the remaining souls of the Xiao family.

A flicker of pity flashed across Li Dalong's eyes, but it was quickly masked.

He silently hoisted the Heaven-Piercing Coffin onto his shoulder. After becoming the master of the second layer, it had become an inseparable part of him. To outsiders, the Heaven-Piercing Coffin appeared to be just a high-grade Spirit Weapon.

Seizing the moment when Xiao Huang's mind was in turmoil, Li Dalong, wielding the coffin, viciously smashed it towards her belly!

In the distance, Elder Qiuye was locked in a fierce battle with the Drunken Madman. Countless maple leaves swirled around him, clearly no ordinary objects, as the two fought back and forth intensely.

Seeing Li Dalong, who appeared so simple and honest, ruthlessly strike his Dao companion's pregnant belly, Qiuye's eyes widened in fury. "Li Dalong!" he roared, "You will die a horrible death!!!"

That was his future, the hope for all his legacy in this life!!!

...

In Li Wei's memory, Li Dalong had always been the most benevolent member of the Li family.

Otherwise, the Li family wouldn't have had so many trustworthy friends over the years.

Now, Li Wei once again witnessed Li Dalong's ruthlessness and madness.

He saw it. Li Dalong's coffin was already swinging towards the pregnant woman's belly!

Perhaps the old patriarch of the Li family, who had been benevolent for over a hundred years, had also bottled up enough rage during these years.

The scene abruptly ended. Sёarch* The Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Li Wei clicked on Li Yaowen's icon.

[Your descendant, Li Yaowen, has set up an altar in front of the Azure Cloud Pavilion and is requesting your blessings!]

On this day, the Li family faced far more than just their enemies, Qiuye and Xiao Huang!

Those who needed to pay the price were no longer just the murderers but also those who had aided and abetted them. It was because of them that the Li family was forced to leave the land where they had lived and thrived for nearly a hundred years, forcing them to wander the world!

The scene changed.

Before the lofty gates of the Azure Cloud Pavilion, at the very spot where Li Yaowen had once erected the 'Tower' of Xiao family heads, sat a hunched old woman in a wheelchair. Behind her stood only a single puppet resembling a maidservant, protecting her.

Before she stood the many elders of the Azure Cloud Pavilion, on high alert, along with countless disciples soaring through the air on their flying swords!

Facing this seemingly harmless old woman, the entire Azure Cloud Pavilion's sect-protecting formation was activated without hesitation. The low-grade magical treasure, the golden bowl, which had been used to subdue Elder Qiuye and Xiao Huang that day, was also suspended high in the air.

A suffocating silence fell over the entire Azure Cloud Pavilion.

Everyone fixed their vigilant gazes on the old woman who was struggling to stand, her trembling hand taking out a fire starter to light the incense and place it in the incense burner. She looked as if she could collapse at any moment from exhaustion.

Yet, the people of the Azure Cloud Pavilion still didn't feel any loss of face.

They should be afraid, for this old woman was the Lord of Dawn. For all these years, the only time the forces of Azure Cloud region had seen her true face was on the day the Xiao family was destroyed!

It was also because of her that no one could find the Li family's hiding place all these years. During these seven years, she silently eradicated two Golden Core families. Wherever the Dawn assassins went, no one was left alive.

To annihilate one of those Golden Core families, this seemingly benevolent old woman employed every possible scheme and plot, driving the opposing family into a storm of power struggles. Over two years, plagues, ghostly night parades, flash floods, and other natural and man-made disasters followed them like shadows... She stopped at nothing. By the time Dawn assassins were perched on the walls of that influential family's estate, their fate was already sealed.

And now, she had arrived at the gates of the Azure Cloud Pavilion, alone. Nothing could be more terrifying!

At the slightest disturbance outside the Azure Cloud Pavilion, those experts soaring on their swords felt that great terror lurked in the shadows.

The wind and snow of the harsh winter swept past.

Snowflakes mingled with the white smoke rising from the incense sticks in the burner. The ancestral tablets, both of the ancestor and the Pig Demon King, weathered the wind and frost. Li Yaowen tightened her clothes, breathed hot air onto her wrinkled hands, and then stiffly knelt before the tablets, kowtowing.

She murmured softly, "Ancestor, Uncle Pig, there are so many of them. It's quite frightening."

"..."

Li Wei silently took a sip of his milk tea. "Wouldn't that be frightening?" he thought. "Even I'm scared!"

There were at least ten thousand people in the Azure Cloud Pavilion.

Li Yaowen had arrived at the Azure Cloud Pavilion alone, with nothing but a puppet by her side. The Dawn assassins had already been dispatched elsewhere.

But judging from the current situation, the people of the Azure Cloud Pavilion seemed quite scared as well. Among his descendants, Li Tianqi had a penchant for courting death. Li Wei sincerely hoped that Li Tianqi wouldn't learn from Li Yaowen in the future.

After finishing the ancestral sacrifice, Li Yaowen finally settled back into her wheelchair. She looked at the five Golden Core cultivators before the Azure Cloud Pavilion. The elder in the center had a broad back and a powerful build, his long robe further accentuating his imposing presence. This was the newly appointed Pavilion Master, Gu Cangsheng.

Gu Cangsheng, fixated upon by Li Yaowen's gaze, felt a sense of unease as he looked at her cloudy eyes from afar.

"Greetings, esteemed seniors of the Azure Cloud Pavilion."
