Su Mengli wiped away a few tears from her delicate cheeks.
"Father, I've thought it through. Instead of craving fleeting pleasure, I'd rather use time to cultivate a beautiful future!" Su Mengli said softly, her voice choked with sobs.
She knew clearly the gap between herself and Jiang Li. If she couldn't seize every opportunity, she would ultimately be unable to accompany him to the end.
Fuhai Supreme sighed. His daughter had always been intelligent and exceptionally rational. It was a pity she had encountered Jiang Li, this...
The inheritance of the ancestors was not easily obtained. But seeing his resolute daughter before him, Fuhai Supreme no longer tried to dissuade her.
The path of the Great Dao, after all, required following one's own heart...
...
Eastern Desolation.
Ninggu Plain.
Ninggu Plain was a vast expanse in the Eastern Desolation, with a broad territory where many ferocious beasts roamed.
It was also the only path from the Heavenly Monster Domain to the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect.
Around Ninggu Plain, many demon races also lived.
It was a gathering place for demons and ferocious beasts.
Above Ninggu Plain.
An exquisite flying boat was flying rapidly.
The flying boat's passage stirred faint streams of light.
Inside the flying boat, a handsome young man sat cross-legged, absorbing the spiritual energy from the surrounding top-grade spirit stones.
The young man was Jiang Li. After leaving the Heavenly Monster Domain, Jiang Li headed directly towards the direction of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
Just as Jiang Li was cultivating, a deafening roar suddenly reached his ears.
The appearance of this sound made the very air feel agitated.
Under the disturbance of this roar, the flying boat became unsteady, as if some force was interfering with it.
Jiang Li frowned slightly and slowly opened his eyes.
A vast spiritual power surged out, and he immediately discovered a powerful force field outside.
The force field flickered with blue-purple light. The flying boat was rocking precariously within this blue-purple glow, seemingly on the verge of falling at any moment.
What is this? Does someone want to deal with me?
Jiang Li's heart chilled. Immediately, his body flashed, and he left the flying boat, appearing outside of it.
"Scum, did you kill the Holy Son of our Blood Soul Sect?" The moment Jiang Li left the flying boat, he heard a hoarse voice coming from not far away.
Jiang Li looked towards the source of the sound.
He saw a group of cultivators, dressed in blood-red robes, staring at him menacingly from outside the force field.
These people exuded an extremely chilling blood-red aura, and an endless aura of killing intent intertwined around them.
Leading them was an elderly man, his gaze cold, filled with extreme murderous intent.
[Name]: Li Hongwang
[Realm]: Saint King Realm Seventh Heaven
[Physique]: Blood Spirit Physique
[Destiny]: Saintly Talent (Purple), Astonishing Fortune (Blue), Overlord of a Region (Purple).
[Life Script]: Supporting character in "Heaven Devouring Demonic Emperor," Grand Elder of the Blood Soul Sect, master of Li Wuxue.
[Favorability]: -90
[Recent Turn of Events]: In six days, he will break through to Saint King Realm Eighth Heaven after consuming the Saint Origin Pill.
Grand Elder of the Blood Soul Sect?
Jiang Li frowned. The master of Li Wuxue, that Void King Physique.
It seemed they were here for revenge. But how did they find me...
The other cultivators beside him were also from the Blood Soul Sect. There was another elder at the Saint King Fifth Heaven, and the rest were at the Saint realm, or ordinary cultivators below the Saint realm.
"Grand Elder, this fellow seems to be Jiang Li from the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect!" a disciple of the Blood Soul Sect whispered low as Li Hongwang was sizing up Jiang Li.
Li Hongwang's brows furrowed. Could it be that a disciple of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect had killed Wuxue?
And it was the renowned Jiang Li?
If so, he needed to reconsider.
"That's right, I killed him!" Jiang Li took a deep breath, his eyes showing no fear whatsoever, and then slowly said.
The surrounding blue-purple force field continuously released a magical power, enveloping Jiang Li in an aura of violence.
Moreover, the void within the force field seemed to be locked, with immense pressure emanating from all around.
"Are you Jiang Li of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect?" Li Hongwang then said solemnly, a flicker of hesitation in his eyes.
The Yellow Springs Demonic Sect's current influence was too great. If he were to kill Jiang Li here...
Their Blood Soul Sect would likely be unable to withstand the wrath of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect.
Li Hongwang himself did not care about his own life, but if he were to endanger the entire sect to avenge Wuxue, his heart would not allow it.
"If there is no other person named Jiang Li in the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect, then it must be me!" Jiang Li continued to speak indifferently.
These people's attitudes are a bit strange, Jiang Li mused to himself.
Especially this old man, whose eyes were burning with anger that was almost palpable, yet he suppressed his emotions.
"It really is Jiang Li, the one who possesses a Supreme Spirit Treasure..."
"I never expected it was Jiang Li who killed the Holy Son..."
"Even if it is Jiang Li, he must pay the price for killing our Holy Son..."
...
The other disciples beside Li Hongwang discussed amongst themselves.
Curiosity, admiration, hatred... various emotions intertwined in their hearts.
"If you want revenge, come at me. I will see you through to the end!" Jiang Li then declared.
Upon hearing Jiang Li's words, Li Hongwang's expression became somewhat complicated.
He clearly felt the powerful aura emanating from Jiang Li, possessing a confidence that feared nothing, even when facing a strong individual like himself.
This was a true peerless prodigy. Wuxue's death at his hands was not an injustice.
However, hatred was hatred, and it must be avenged in the end.
...
At the same time.
Yellow Springs Demonic Sect.
After integrating the various forces of Myriad Demon Mountain, the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect had successfully been promoted to a first-rate force.
Moreover, with the support of the Primordial Demonic Sect and the prestige accumulated from previous battles,
The Yellow Springs Demonic Sect was considered a top-tier force among the first-rate factions.
Spirit Yuan Peak, Yellow Springs Demonic Sect.
Spirit Yuan Peak was now planted with more spiritual herbs and various rare plants.
Vast spiritual energy permeated the surroundings.
In the main hall of Spirit Yuan Peak.
Li Yuanxiao sat cross-legged above the hall, his face filled with a gloomy expression.
Beside Li Yuanxiao, Chu Fangyu also wore a solemn expression, a hint of coldness on her beautiful face.
Below the hall, a group of black-clothed figures, exuding a strong golden aura, stared coldly at Li Yuanxiao.
"Sect Master Li, if not for the sake of the Primordial Demonic Sect, your current attitude alone would be enough to slaughter every single person in your Yellow Springs Demonic Sect a hundred times over!" the leader of the black-clothed figures said indifferently, his tone filled with disdain.
The numerous black-clothed figures behind him also wore unfriendly expressions.
