Chapter 1075: Chapter 1069: Have You Learned
Space fractured like a spiderweb, then tore open into a vertical rift.
Li Wei slowly stepped out from the void, with numerous clansmen following closely behind him.
As for the Old Tree, it was still on that mountain, sucking blood. He looked at Perfected Qinghe, noticing the wavering hesitation in his eyes.
The human heart truly cannot withstand tests—this was an experience Li Wei had gained over his many years.
“Good thing we arrived in time. A few steps later, and this fellow would have been tempted.”
Li Wei glared at his old rival, Nun Dairou.
The decline of modern inspiration peddlers—the “you can achieve anything if you just believe” type—had nothing to do with people getting smarter. It was simply because Nun Dairou wasn’t around.
With just a single glance, Nun Dairou’s face was struck with sheer terror.
Not only was Li Wei alive, but Nun Dairou sensed a familiar aura from him… Buddhist faith power!
For a moment, Nun Dairou actually didn’t dare to utter another word.
Li Wei had grown stronger. In front of him, she had nowhere to run, and with Perfected Qinghe added into the mix, it was more than enough to battle her.
Meanwhile, the Li family members slowly surrounded the scene, causing Zhou Chengli and the others—who had been on edge—to finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The Li family members all cast their gazes toward Fei Heng in unison.
Li Kuanghua, who had originally carried Fei Heng out of Shadowfell Prefecture on her back and stayed with him in the Dusheng Nunnery for decades, had a complex look in her eyes.
The current Fei Heng was too unfamiliar—so unfamiliar that looking at him felt like having a fishbone stuck in her throat.
Back when Fei Heng first came to Shadowfell Prefecture, she was the one who pulled him onto the spirit ship.
When Aunt Tianyue was in the Western Frontier, she was the one who brought her aunt and the three-hundred-and-twenty-thousand-strong army before Fei Heng.
Seemingly sensing the gazes of the Li family members…
As these gazes locked onto Fei Heng’s hideous, terrifying body reeking of corpse energy, they felt like needles piercing into his flesh.
He slowly raised his head, his lifeless eyes staring blankly as he muttered, “You’ve become different.”
Qilin Mountain was the first time he had seen so many members of the Azure Cloud Li Clan gathered together.
At that time, the Li family members had also flown into the air to fight Tian Xing, an invincible opponent.
Back then, the Li Clan was much weaker than they were now. Surviving had not been easy for them at all.
“Heh… heh.”
Fei Heng’s face was stiff. He wanted to smile at the Li family members, but he couldn’t force it out.
The Li family members just stared straight at him, making his mind go completely blank.
Even when Nun Dairou was about to kill him, he hadn’t felt as suffocated as he did now. It was as if he had lost his soul.
“Why are you looking at me like this? Why?!!” Fei Heng roared at the Li family members in panic and desperation.
“Don’t blame me! Li Tianyue’s death is not my fault!”
“How was I supposed to know she would die? The Yun Clan could flee, Bi Shihu could flee, the Dusheng Nunnery could flee, so why didn’t she flee?!!”
“She clearly could have escaped! She chose to throw her life away!”
“…”
Fei Heng roared with a hoarse voice. The Li family members frowned slightly, not saying a word, simply staring fixedly at Fei Heng’s maddened state.
Fei Heng’s features gradually twisted into a hideous scowl. In the eyes of the Li family members, he only saw unfamiliarity, and he saw their disappointment in him!
And this caused him to completely lose his reason.
“Are you blaming me for cooperating with Min Tiange? Yes, I am cooperating with him!”
“How do you think I, isolated and without backing, became the Crown Prince in the Imperial Capital?
He was the one helping me! Why do you think I came to the Western Frontier? I needed to become stronger!”
The Li family members still remained silent.
Li Wei took a deep breath.
Back then, they had found it unbelievable. Shortly after Crown Prince Sheng died, Fei Heng returned to the Imperial Capital and became the Crown Prince.
At the time, they guessed someone was helping Fei Heng, but they never expected the person behind the scenes to be Min Tiange.
“In the Imperial Capital, no one helped me.”
The veins all over Fei Heng’s body bulged.
“I had ambitions! I wanted to purge the imperial court, I wanted the human race to reclaim its glory, I wanted the human race to unite the world!
But ambition alone isn’t enough. My bloodline wasn’t enough to make me revered; strength is the true foundation!”
“Countless eyes in the dynasty were fixed on me.
Min Youguo refused to submit to me, Wu Neng of the Department of Immortal Suppression went behind my back to meet Crown Prince Sheng, and the Empress was wildly ambitious, wanting to seize my power.”
“And you didn’t help me either! The Azure Cloud Prefecture’s power was growing day by day.
You clearly knew I was struggling with every step in the dynasty; you clearly could have helped me!”
“…”
The Li family members still stared coldly at Fei Heng.
They stared until Fei Heng felt as if he had plunged into an ice cavern. Without realizing it, tears and snot were streaming down his face.
“I had no choice but to come to the Western Frontier. I wanted to survive, I wanted to learn—learn how your Li Clan did things!
With the Li Clan’s three hundred years of history, I learned a lot.
I learned enough to dance with wolves; I can step by step ascend to the pinnacle of the dynasty and slaughter everyone who covets my position!”
In the cloudy sky.
Li Wei’s voice was hoarse as he asked his first question: “Then have you learned?”
Have you learned…
Did you really learn?
Fei Heng lowered his head, looking at his current appearance that was neither human nor ghost. Beside him, there was only a corpse dragon.
Meanwhile, the people of the Azure Cloud Li Clan in the cloudy sky had never been alone, even when separated by vast distances.
