Chapter 1319: Chapter 1313: Cloud Sea Army
Half an hour later.
Aboard the Cloud Sea Army’s spirit boat.
Fan Feixuan stared speechlessly ahead, listening to the raucous noise coming from the spirit boat’s cabin.
“Two good brothers…”
“Uncle Chen, drink! When we’re done, let’s find a nice place to reward the brothers, and hit the brothels while we’re at it.”
“Hit the brothels, my ass! I have a wife!”
“Auntie, please don’t mind me, I forgot about that. And Uncle Chen, my grandpa is your dad, you really shouldn’t spout nonsense like that…”
“Stop talking crap, keep playing the finger-guessing game!”
“…”
At this moment, Fan Feixuan rested her forehead in her hand.
Inside the family’s Ancestral Space, the clansmen monitoring everything all had dark, ashen faces.
Watching Li Xingchen, Li Xinri, and the Red Dust Immortal—who had instantly become chummy after violently crashing the Great Evolution Immortal Palace—it was clear these three were birds of a feather.
A single glance was all it took for them to know what kind of people they were dealing with, and without another word, they had hit the wine table.
However, the crowd didn’t say anything. These three weren’t exactly normal to begin with; as long as they were safe and sound, that was enough.
“Kuanghua, withdraw the friends we called in for rescue,” Li Dalong breathed a sigh of relief.
“The Great Evolution Immortal Palace’s Thunder Ancestor has lost his life. However, it seems their sect has also encountered something bizarre.
A half-immortal making a move is not something that can be easily explained to others.
Have our friends from the Hall of Heavenly Principles cover their tracks and keep a close eye on the Immortal Palace.
Leak some information to the Department of Immortal Suppression, so we can see the Imperial Dynasty’s reaction.”
“Yes.”
Li Kuanghua nodded.
The crowd gradually dispersed, but their eyes remained exceedingly grave.
Had the Red Dust Immortal not made a move, they would never have known that half-immortals and immortal kin actually existed within the Great Evolution Immortal Palace.
However, the affairs of the Central Plains were too far away. The trouble right before their eyes was massive enough, leaving them no time to pay it any heed.
Li Yaotie and the others remaining in the family estate now had their eyes shining brightly.
At the place where Li Yaoqing slumbered, a brilliant light burst forth.
The flowers and trees within the City of Merit were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye; even the Old Tree sprouted numerous new leaves.
As soon as he stepped out, Li Changsheng hastily issued commands.
“Lock down the City of Merit!”
“Open the treasury! Construct a Dao Field, build it right here within the City of Merit!”
As everyone in the City of Merit rejoiced, Li Wei’s eyes lit up.
[Special Event — Slaying the Thunder Ancestor at the Great Evolution Immortal Palace]
[The Red Dust Immortal, entrusted by Lu Niang, went to the Great Evolution Immortal Palace in the Central Plains to slay the Thunder Ancestor. The deed is done!
The Dao path of Nature has been thrown wide open. Your descendant Li Yaoqing, with Lu Niang’s assistance, has rapidly occupied the Dao Gate and is currently in the midst of breaking through.]
[Lu Niang is an immortal of the origin of life, the master of the world’s very first Spirit Plant living beings.
Her endless and unceasing vitality fills the Dao Gate, effortlessly capable of opening the Dao Gate on the Great Dao path for living beings to cultivate.]
[Only a Body Integration physique can accommodate Lu Niang’s meager immortal power, forging the physique of an immortal!]
“Tier-3… Immortal Pill!” Li Wei let out a low growl, suppressing the excitement that was practically bursting from his chest.
A Tier-3 Immortal Pill was an exceedingly rare thing even across the entire Imperial Dynasty, an absolute item of miraculous fortune!
Within the history recorded by the Red Dust Immortal, there were recipes for Tier-3 Immortal Pills.
He believed that with Yaoqing present, along with Yaotie’s Heavenly Fire, it wouldn’t be long before they could refine an Immortal Pill!
……
On a mountain in the Central Plains.
One by one, spirit boats could be seen parked in the night sky.
On the mountain peak, pirates were drinking, filling the air with boisterous laughter.
Three individuals with extraordinary cultivation realms, yet who most resembled ordinary mortals—two men and one immortal—lay on the grass.
They looked exactly as if they had just finished a satisfying drinking session and entered deep thinking mode.
“Uncle Chen, aren’t these brothers acting a bit too brazenly?” Li Xinri pointed at the spirit boats in the sky.
Aside from choosing a good location, their concealment methods couldn’t even hide from the prying eyes of the Nascent Soul realm.
Right now, there were over thirty thousand people on the mountain; the light from their campfires alone made them as bright as a beacon.
“What is there to be afraid of?”
Li Xingchen waved his hand dismissively while holding a wine gourd, then waved at a brother from the Cloud Sea Army in the distance who was looking their way. He then said,
“The people of the Cloud Sea Army came to the Imperial Dynasty to collect protection fees.
There’s also a batch of goods in the Imperial Capital that they need to transport to the Demon Race.
You guys are the ones causing a ruckus in the Great Evolution Immortal Palace; the Cloud Sea Army is merely passing through.
Whoever dares to look for trouble will really have to weigh their options carefully.”
“Hiding a little bit is just to avoid scaring the commoners and to give the Imperial Dynasty a bit of face.”
Li Xinri’s eyes lit up slightly. “Are the people in the sea domains really that powerful?”
“How big is the Imperial Dynasty, and how vast is the sea?” Li Xingchen broke into a wide grin.
“What does the Imperial Dynasty amount to? Once the Cloud Sea Army dives into the sea domains, they are completely unburdened.
If the Imperial Dynasty has the ability, let them try hunting us down to the ends of the earth.”
“…What a cowardly threat.” The corners of Li Xinri’s mouth twitched.
However, although the sea domains were vast, they had always been suppressed by the living beings of the continent.
He had heard that even the inheritances found within the sea were left behind by landmasses sunk by ancient experts.
Li Xinri glanced at his Uncle Chen. This was also his first time meeting this elder of the family; he had only heard people mention him when he arrived in Azure Cloud Prefecture.
Currently, only two people from the ‘Xing’ generation remained in the family: one was his father, and the other was Uncle Chen.
And these two had completely opposite temperaments.
His father had been bound by duties his entire life, endlessly busy, devoting his whole life to serving the family.
Uncle Chen, on the other hand, was carefree and uninhibited.
After having a child and waiting for him to make something of himself, he stopped caring entirely, taking his beautiful wife to travel the world, never bothering with family affairs.
Later, the massive family business was entirely left to his cousin Xinnian. Even now, with his cousin having children and grandchildren filling the halls, Uncle Chen rarely returned.
If he dared to fool around like this, wouldn’t Zhijing break his legs? His cousin was still too kind, possessing too good of a temper.
He couldn’t help but ask, “Uncle Chen, now that you’ve returned this time, how long are you going to stay at home?”
Li Xingchen rested his head on his hands, looking up at the starry sky, remaining silent for a long time.
He didn’t answer either. Instead, he looked at the Red Dust Immortal, who was still guzzling wine.
“Brother Red Dust Immortal, what exactly is going on inside the Great Evolution Immortal Palace? The aura on your body is somewhat similar to the people inside, though their bloodline isn’t as strong as yours.”
“…”
The Red Dust Immortal was momentarily stunned.
Ever since learning of the Red Dust Immortal’s identity and strength, Li Xinri had held the utmost respect for him.
He nudged his uncle, who wasn’t familiar with the situation, and winked frantically at him.
The Red Dust Immortal raised an eyebrow.
“The ones inside are immortals—the kind of immortals you’ve only heard about in stories.
You sensed it correctly. My aura is very similar to theirs because I am also an immortal.”
“…”
Li Xingchen’s brain spun rapidly. He looked at the Red Dust Immortal, then at Li Xinri.
He took another fierce gulp of wine, closed his eyes, and decided he’d deal with it after he woke up.
