Well now.
Li Chuan’s lips twitched.
He finally understood. Anyone who dared provoke his father would die.
“Son, you’re still young. You don’t understand how sinister people’s hearts can be.”
Li Qingxuan patted Li Chuan on the shoulder and spoke earnestly, “In the cultivation world, people will kill their wives and even their parents just for cultivation. What good people are there? So once someone becomes your enemy, you must never let them escape. Otherwise, you kill the young one and the old one comes. It will never end. And remember, when you kill someone, always make sure to finish them off. What if they’re only severely injured and not completely dead?”
“Understood, Dad!”
Li Chuan straightened his face. “Don’t worry. From now on, when I kill someone, I’ll chop off their heads. That way they definitely won’t survive.”
“Good. You’re teachable.” Li Qingxuan nodded in satisfaction.
He was about to take his son back to the Azure Cloud Sect when he looked at the storage pouches and golden core in his hand. His eyes shifted, and an idea instantly formed.
With a kind expression, he said, “Chuan’er, your father just seized quite a few good things.”
Li Qingxuan poured everything out of several storage pouches in one go. “Here are 52,000 low-grade spirit stones, one top-grade Profound Tier Ethereal Mist Sword, one Low-Grade Earth Tier Blood Spirit Blade, 12 Foundation Establishment medicinal pills, 30 Revitalizing Spirit medicinal pills, 10 Rejuvenation medicinal pills, 3 Condensed Dew medicinal pills, 10 Heart-Questioning medicinal pills, one Nine Apertures Profound-Opening medicinal pill, one Beauty-Preserving medicinal pill, and a golden core from a Golden Core stage expert… all of it is for you.”
“All… all for me?”
Li Chuan’s eyes nearly popped out. He was deeply moved. “Dad, you’re too good to me!”
Although the system had rewarded him with many things, there were restrictions and missions required.
But his father gave things freely, and in huge amounts.
What was this?
This was selfless fatherly love!
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
Li Qingxuan said righteously, “You’re your father’s only son. Isn’t it natural for me to treat you well? In the future, if you lack anything, just tell me. Even if I have to punch a hole through the sky, I’ll get it for you!”
Really.
You’re talking nonsense.
If you don’t become talented, how can your father ascend to immortality?

Hearing the continuous notifications in his mind, Li Qingxuan froze.
This system… was not quite what he had imagined.
In novels, didn’t hundredfold and thousandfold returns usually mean higher-tier items?
Why was his system simply multiplying the quantity?
However, when he saw the mountains of spirit stones and medicinal pills piling up in his system space, Li Qingxuan could not stop grinning. “Still… this amount is ridiculously impressive!”
He had now roughly figured out the system’s return rules.
The higher the item’s grade, the lower the chance of triggering massive returns.
Aside from spirit stones, medicinal pills, and weapons, the golden core of a Golden Core stage expert could not be returned by the system.
The previous Spirit Feather Golden Phoenix Chicken had counted as a type of medicinal pill, so it had been eligible for return.
At that moment, a sharp sound of wind cutting through the air came from afar.
Su Yanran rushed in first, her beautiful face filled with anxiety.
“Husband!”
In a flash, she landed in front of Li Qingxuan. Her jade hand immediately slipped into his robe, feeling all over him to check for injuries. “Are you hurt?”
Li Qingxuan shuddered from her touch and laughed. “My wife, your husband is invincible. How could I be hurt? But why is your hand inside my clothes in broad daylight…”
“Ah!”
Only then did Su Yanran realize what she was doing. Her face instantly flushed red, and she quickly withdrew her hand, glaring at him in embarrassment.
Soon after, Ye Guixu and the others arrived one after another. Ye Guixu asked, “Supreme Elder Li, those two traitors…”
Li Qingxuan pointed casually. “Over there. All dead.”
He nudged Liu Ming’s corpse with his foot. “There was also a Golden Core Realm Elder from the Evil Valley who came looking for trouble. I crushed him as well.”
“What? Supreme Elder Li even killed an Elder from the Evil Valley?”
The elders of the Azure Cloud Sect exclaimed in unison, their gazes toward Li Qingxuan filled with even greater awe.
Any Elder from the Evil Valley was a notorious and ruthless figure, yet their Supreme Elder had dealt with one so easily.
“Enough about that.”
Li Qingxuan pulled Li Chuan forward. “This is my son, Li Chuan. I’ll have to trouble everyone to take care of him in the future.”
Li Chuan scratched the back of his head and bowed shyly. “Greetings, Elders.”
“As expected of Supreme Elder Li’s son!”
“What a fine young talent!”
“To remain calm in such a battle, truly like father, like son!”
The elders immediately gathered around, showering him with praise.
Li Chuan blinked in shock.
Good heavens.
His father’s prestige in the sect was this high?
These elders at the Profound Core Realm and Golden Core Realm were actually trying to curry favor with him, a mere Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator?
“Since the matter is settled, let’s return to the sect.”
Ye Guixu stroked his beard and instructed the elders, “Tomorrow, announce Supreme Elder Li’s identity to the entire sect. We must prevent any blind disciples or stewards from offending him.”
“Yes!”
…
Deep within the Evil Valley.
Inside a black stone hall, ten figures sat upon black iron thrones.
Candlelight flickered, illuminating ten ferocious faces.
“Big Brother!”
A burly man with a blood-red centipede tattoo writhing across his forehead slammed the table and stood up. “Tenth Brother was killed by someone from the Azure Cloud Sect. What should we do?”
He was the eighth among the Ten Evils, the “Blood Centipede” Wu Tianba.
“What do you mean what should we do? Of course we kill our way back.”
Old Nine, Zhao Tiezhu, punched the armrest and snorted coldly. “Otherwise, those scum from the Azure Cloud Sect will think we’re afraid!”
“Strange…”
Old Five, the “Poison Scholar” Bai Wuchen, gently waved his folding fan. “Though the Azure Cloud Sect is our enemy, our strengths are equal. We’ve maintained a delicate balance all this time. For them to suddenly kill our people is illogical.”
“Could it be…”
Old Six, Ghost Granny, narrowed her eyes. “That old bastard Qingyunzi made a breakthrough?”
“Silence!”
A deep and chilling voice echoed through the hall, and it fell completely quiet.
At the highest throne, a middle-aged man in a blood-red robe slowly opened his eyes.
His pupils were crimson, and a terrifying killing aura surrounded him.
He was the Valley Master of the Evil Valley — Xue Futuo!
“Tenth Brother is dead. This matter will not end so easily.”
Li Wutian’s voice was icy. “Forth Brother, take some men to the Azure Cloud Sect and demand an explanation. Remember, probe their strength first. If Qingyunzi has not broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm… then it will be time for us to bathe the Azure Cloud Sect in blood.”
Forth Brother, Thousand-Thread Evil Lord, curved his lips into a smile. “Big Brother, leave it to me.”
