Chapter 294: The Letter

Words : 1621 Updated : Oct 3rd, 2025

[Green Valley Town] Li Wei walked along the road. Green Valley Town was now divided into the restricted area, the inner city, and the outer city. The restricted area was naturally only accessible to Li family members and those truly loyal to the Li family. As for the inner city, only the original inhabitants of Green Valley Village were allowed to live and walk there, and cultivators patrolled every corner. The outer city... Li Wei saw many members of the Wu Clan. Over the years, Li Kuangtu had cooperated with the Wu Clan. The Spirit Jade Division had asserted its authority, wanting to gradually infiltrate the Li family, which led to the current situation in Green Valley Town. The old Green Valley Town had been very harmonious. Now, with the Wu Clan living in the outer city, it was filled with 'filth, disorder, and chaos.' He even saw cultivators from Green Valley Town fighting with members of the Wu Clan in the outer city's arena. This was also a method devised by Li Kuangtu. He had seen the discord between the Wu Clan and the humans, and in order to prevent the conflict from escalating, he specially set up an arena to allow both sides to fight to the death legally. At this moment, in the arena, a commoner from Green Valley Town was beaten to death by a member of the Wu Clan. The Wu Clan members below the arena shouted excitedly, while the people of Green Valley Town gritted their teeth and whispered among themselves. "If the old family head and Master Yunbing were here, how would these Wu Clan members dare to act so arrogantly? They would have been buried in the fields long ago to nourish our spirit medicines!" "They don't even treat us like human beings!" "I heard they even kidnapped old Yu's daughter and are treating her like a slave. I really want to risk my life and fight those Wu Clan bastards to the death." "..." Along the way, Li Wei could hear the curses of the people of Green Valley Town. The Wu Clan members were arrogant and strutted around as if they were the true masters of Green Valley Town. Soon, Li Wei arrived at a mansion. On the plaque above, only two words were written: [External Affairs]. Many members of the Wu Clan and some people from Green Valley Town were coming and going. Entering inside. Li Wei saw Li Kuangtu sitting behind a table, with Qingyu standing beside him. "How did he end up like this?" Li Wei frowned. While cultivating within the family's residence, he hadn't seen Li Kuangtu for over twenty years. Even during the Grand Ceremonies, Li Kuangtu didn't appear in the Li family ancestral hall. Yet, Li Wei had still received offerings from Li Kuangtu. But now... the once pampered and refined young man had a large, protruding belly, his face was wrinkled, and his hair was streaked with white. The years had left their heavy mark on Li Kuangtu. Many years ago, Li Kuangtu had already reached the False Core stage, but now... he was still at the False Core stage. And to think, he had a single spirit root! [Your descendant Li Kuangtu is burdened by inner turmoil. He is unable to overcome his inner demons and break through to the Golden Core stage.] [Your descendant dares not take another step into the inner city. He has exhausted all methods, even kneeling before Guan Tian once again, in order to preserve the inner city and the family's residence, which are like a sacred place in his heart, and prevent the Wu Clan from setting foot there.] Behind him was the Great River Dragon General Diagram. He had never used this spirit artifact again since that time. There was also the spirit spear gifted to him by the family, which was now enshrined on the altar behind him like an antique. Having dealt with the matters concerning the Wu Clan, he gazed at the Great River Dragon General Diagram behind him, lost in thought for a long time. Qingyu's slender hand rested on his shoulder. Li Kuangtu caressed Qingyu's hand, "Qingyu, I saw the message sent by Fourth Great-Grandaunt." "Many, many people in our family have made breakthroughs. There are many at the Golden Core stage." "There will also be many experts at the Nascent Soul stage. The power of our Li family alone can already compare to that of the entire Azure Cloud region." Hearing this, Qingyu's face lit up with joy, "Then we..." Li Kuangtu also smiled, "Fourth Great-Grandaunt said that I no longer need to be the family head. I can enter the inner city, follow the paths I walked as a child, and return to the family step by step, towards the Ancestor's ancestral hall)." Li Wei also smiled. Over the years, the Li family had been very happy, but he knew clearly that the reason the Li family was able to live in peace for these past decades was all due to Li Kuangtu's submissiveness outside. Then, Li Wei walked over to where Li Yaowen was, at the Dawn headquarters. At this moment, Li Yaowen was still sitting in her wheelchair, passing letters one by one into the hands of Dawn assassins. She had the puppet attendant next to her push her to the window. She gazed at the bright sun in the distance, "Wu Clan, even if you start regretting now, it's already too late." On this day, everyone in the Li family received a letter! The letters were marked with the character 'Li,' and they could smell the pungent stench of blood on them - the blood of the Wu Clan. And it wasn't just them. In the Thunderfire Demon Cave, all the forces from the Azure Cloud region that were hiding there also received letters from the Li family. They narrowed their eyes, picked up their weapons, and without exception, emerged from their closed-door cultivation. Throughout the Azure Cloud region, all the experts held the blood-stained letters in their hands, gazing up at the bright sun. It seemed like... the moment they had been waiting for had come! ..... As Li Wei left. In the room where Li Kuangtu was, the chieftain of the Spirit Jade Division's Wu Clan arrived. This chieftain narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Li Kuangtu, "Head of the Li family, the High Priest wishes to see you." Li Kuangtu sat upright. He smiled, "What does High Priest Guan Tian want?" The chieftain snorted, "What does he want? Li Kuangtu, you have angered the High Priest! Over the years, we have wanted to enter the inner city, but you have repeatedly made excuses. You were told to send your Primordial Blood Tree to our Spirit Jade Division, but you have stalled at every turn. The High Priest has run out of patience." "We wanted you to help us deal with external enemies, but your Dawn organization only helps us against the Wu Clan and never assists us in hunting down the powerhouses of the Azure Cloud region. Do you really think that our Wu Clan can't do anything to you?" "Now the entire Azure Cloud region is filled with our Wu Clan's people. You need to think carefully. Without sufficient value, the Li family will also become useless!" Li Kuangtu's expression remained unchanged. He slowly stood up, turned his back, and gazed at the Great River Dragon General Diagram, not even glancing at the chieftain. His eyes turned cold. "Qingyu, kill him." "Pass down the order: within a hundred-mile radius of Green Valley Town, kill every last member of the Wu Clan." As soon as these words were spoken, the chieftain's expression changed drastically. "Li Kuangtu, what are you doing?!?!" In an instant, assassins from the Dawn organization appeared from the shadows. Without even looking back, Li Kuangtu smiled faintly and gently took down the Great River Dragon General Diagram and the spirit spear that had once accompanied him on countless campaigns. The sun was setting over Green Valley Town. Countless townspeople rushed out of their homes, taking up their weapons. The Wu Clan members within Green Valley Town howled in agony and tried to flee. Blood soaked the entirety of Green Valley Town. Li Kuangtu did not return to the residence. He was dressed in his most magnificent clothes, with the spirit spear on his back and the Great River Dragon General Diagram rolled up in one hand. He walked slowly along the streets, treading through the blood, his shadow stretching out long behind him. He found a donkey in Green Valley Town. This donkey was a spirit beast that had once charged into the Azure Cloud Martial Pavilion with him. "Old donkey, accompany me on one last journey." Leading the donkey, he sat on its back. The once unruly spirit donkey now carried Li Kuangtu steadily out of Green Valley Town, tears streaming from its donkey eyes. Man and donkey walked out of Green Valley Town. Li Kuangtu laughed loudly on the donkey's back. He seemed to have once again become that high-spirited young man who had charged into the Azure Cloud Martial Pavilion.
