The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 216: The Ancient Ji Family
"You are……"

Li Tiangang's eyes fixed when he saw Feng Boping suddenly appear. He had known for a long time that there was a person in the Four Li Realms by Li Hao's side, who had been helping him all the time. That was why Li Hao was able to gain a firm foothold when he first came to Tianmen Pass.

I think it’s the person in front of me.

He looked at the other person carefully, his expression suddenly changed, and he said angrily:

"Are you a thief saint?!"

Feng Bo Pingyuan first avoided the yard because he didn't want to be exposed. After all, in the huge Li family, the only people related to him were Li Hao and Li Muxiu.

It was a helpless act for him to step forward at this moment, but since he had decided to show up, he had to be prepared for his identity to be exposed.

"it's me."

"It was you who followed Hao'er in secret?!"

Li Tiangang was somewhat shocked, his eyes wide open: "What are your intentions, what are your plans?"

Feng Boping sneered, "Without me, your son wouldn't have made it to this Heavenly Gate. Do you know how many pairs of demonic eyes were staring at him viciously the moment he stepped out of your Li family? You pushed a fourteen-year-old child out of the house, do you know what he has to bear?!"

"He bears the wrath of all the demons that your Li family has provoked over the past thousands of years!"

"He is bearing the hatred for your Li family. Without me, your son would have died long ago!!"

"What do you think my intention is? My intention is to let him live, to live with his spine straight!!"

Li Tiangang said angrily: "But if it weren't for you, Hao'er wouldn't dare to step out of the God General's Mansion. It's because you gave him protection that he dared to be so presumptuous and challenge me!"

Feng Boping was so angry that he laughed, and said, "Even if he wants to save his life, what's the problem with him staying in your God General Mansion? Will he listen to your discipline? You haven't been back in Yanbei for more than ten years. Has your son ever lost to others?!"

"Does he need your discipline? Does he?!"

Li Tiangang couldn't help but choke when he heard his angry words that were almost like a roar. Indeed, more than ten years of separation from Yanbei made him feel guilty towards Li Hao.

In terms of talent alone, that child is indeed not inferior to anyone.

But that is why he wants to guide it on the right path.

"You are a thief, of course you don't understand ethics and morality, or filial piety between ruler and subject!"

Li Tiangang stared at Feng Boping coldly and said, "Those who are going to accomplish great things, do you think you can win the support of the people just by relying on your ability? Even if you are an official or a general, you can suppress your subordinates by relying on your strength, but when you are on the battlefield, you may be stabbed in the back!"

“Officials are stronger than the people, but officials are like boats and the people are like water. Although water is weak, it can capsize a boat!”

"Even the current emperor must follow etiquette and virtue, and use both kindness and power. What does it mean to be brave and brave all the time?!"

Feng Boping laughed, but it was a sneer: "Are you talking about yourself? Can't you see whose flag is flying all over Liangzhou now?!"

"Whose fame is being praised by so many people?!"

"Is it yours, Li Tiangang? Is it from your Li family?!"

"Didn't Hao Er kill himself on his own?!"

Li Tiangang was furious and said, "This is why I came here. Who made that battle flag? It can't be you!"

Feng Boping sneered, "Whoever the name of the battle flag is, that's whoever made it. Can't you tell? Do you think it's some other hermit or master? Even if there really is such a person, why would he help Hao'er? Have you ever thought about it?!"

Li Tiangang was slightly stunned, many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and he was speechless for a moment.

Feng Boping saw that he was speechless and sneered:

"Just assume that there is such a master. Could it be that he is helping Hao'er for the sake of your Li family? Your Li family is so prestigious, how could there be no such master to help you even though six of your nine sons died in the battle?"

Li Tiangang looked unhappy, but he also realized that what the other party said was not entirely unreasonable.

"Did Haoer really make it himself?"

Li Tiangang stared at him, temporarily suppressing his anger and asked.

Feng Boping sneered twice but didn't answer.

Li Tiangang saw him like this, but didn't care. Instead, he was secretly surprised and excited.

If it was really created by his son, no matter how he mastered this secret method, as long as he has this ability, why would he worry about demons at the borders of various states in the future? !

If this flag can be mass-produced, with the Li family's reputation, it will be enough to guard the entire Dayu Divine Dynasty!

"Did you really make it yourself?"

Li Tiangang looked past Feng Boping and looked at Li Hao's clone.

The dark side Li Hao said coldly: "It has nothing to do with you, get out!"

Although he knew that the person in front of him was just Li Hao's clone and that he didn't recognize him, Li Tiangang still felt a little angry when he saw the other party speaking so impolitely to his son's face.

Feng Boping's eyes were cold, and he said, "What's the point of asking these questions? Now Hao'er's life or death is unknown, so what if it was made by Hao'er?"

"If he dies, everything will be gone!"

Li Tiangang's face changed slightly, and he said in a cold voice: "The background of my Li family is beyond your imagination. With my fourth uncle here, he knows the Dead River very well, and he is also very familiar with it. Hao'er's own fighting ability is not bad, so be careful and nothing will happen."

"I have deployed hundreds of thousands of troops outside the Dragon City Death River. We are just waiting for them to come out and escort them back!"

"You are a thief and a wanderer. How can you understand what connections and foundation are?!"

Feng Boping's lips trembled slightly with anger, but he did not refute when the words came to his lips.

He also hoped that the foundation of the Divine General's Mansion was indeed as Li Tiangang had described, and that it had such capabilities, so that Hao'er could return safely.

"I hope your Divine General Mansion really lives up to its reputation."

Feng Boping snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and said: "I am too lazy to argue with a young man like you, you should just take care of yourself. If you want to fight, I, an old man, will accompany you. Don't even think about hurting Hao'er!"

"I didn't show up outside your God General's Mansion because I didn't want to bring shame to your Li family. Now that I'm here, it's not your turn to be rampant anymore!"

"So, I should thank you instead?"

Li Tiangang sneered and said, "You are a thief, doing evil everywhere. Who instructed you? Who gave you the benefits to stir up trouble in our Li family? Hao'er was led astray by you, right?!"

"Ha ha……"

Feng Boping was so angry that he laughed and said, "Hao'er and I hit it off right away. You said I instigated you?"

"Isn't it? If it weren't for you, Hao'er would still be in the God General's Mansion. When he was attacked by demons when he left the city, he would have been brought back by Li He!"

Li Tiangang said coldly: "You keep saying that you are doing this for Hao'er, but that is a matter between us father and son. How can you, an outsider, interfere?"

"Who are you to interfere in the affairs of our God General Mansion? Hao'er is the next True Dragon of our Li family. What are your intentions?!"

Feng Boping's cheeks twitched slightly and he wanted to get angry, but the words "How can an outsider like you get involved?" silenced the words that were about to come out of his throat.

Thinking about how he had been wandering for half his life like a rootless duckweed, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.

"No matter what you think, the infamy I have carried in my life is more than just this. It's just some noisy insect chirping."

Feng Boping's expression became calm, and he just stared at Li Tiangang quietly:
"But as long as I'm still here today, you can't hurt Hao'er!"

"Do you really think you can compete with me?"

Li Tiangang narrowed his eyes and said, "I am not an unreasonable person. If it weren't for the fact that you did protect Hao'er, I would have arrested you and sent you to the Imperial Prison long ago!"

"Really? Then you can give it a try. This is a great achievement. At least it can increase your title from a third-class duke to a second-class duke."

Feng Boping raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said sarcastically: "I have long wanted to experience the methods of the Li family's real dragon!"

hum!
Suddenly, the Long Xiao Sword trembled and hovered in front of the wind and wave plane.

The hilt of the sword was facing Feng Boping, while the tip of the sword was pointing at Li Tiangang.

The dark Li Hao seemed to sense the power rising secretly in the two men, stepped to stand beside Feng Boping, and said coldly: "Anyone who trespasses will be killed without mercy!"

When Li Tiangang saw the suspended sword and Li Hao standing beside Feng Boping to defend him, his expression suddenly changed and became ugly. A trace of bloodshot anger surged in his eyes:
"Can you say that again?!"

Feng Boping sensed the power mobilized by the dark side of Li Hao. He glanced at the divine sword floating in front of him. A hint of relief flashed across his eyes, but he quickly withdrew it and whispered:

"Hao'er, you just stay here. I'll come and teach him a lesson myself. Let him see if the thief he mentioned can shake the real dragon of the Li family!"

He took a step forward and said to Li Tiangang, "Li Tiangang, do you dare to come out and compete with me?"

"Humph, a wild thief who hides here and there dares to talk to me like this."

Li Tiangang stared at him, and the next moment, the two of them suddenly disappeared from the courtyard in an instant.

"Uncle Feng!"

When Ren Qianqian saw Feng Boping and Li Tiangang disappear, her face suddenly changed and she couldn't help but scream out in anxiety.

But there was no sound in the world, and no trace of the two people could be seen. Suddenly, a burst of exciting sound came from a very far distance.

Both of them intentionally avoided Cangya City and rushed out for who knows how many miles in a blink of an eye.

With a whoosh, Li Hao, who was on the dark side next to him, took a step forward and chased after him.

"Master!"

Ren Qianqian was anxious, but she only saw the Long Xiao Sword turning into golden light and following Li Hao's figure, disappearing into the sky.

……

……

Outside Liangzhou, there is the Longcheng Death River.

After Li Hao's body was torn apart and disappeared, he felt that his consciousness was also torn apart and merged into the world, and then melted bit by bit like snow.

The more it melts, the weaker the consciousness becomes.

This feeling is extremely strange, but also terrifying, as if being eaten away bit by bit.

Dark, cold, damp and silent.

All kinds of unsettling feelings surrounded him. Li Hao wanted to struggle, but he was like a salted fish nailed to a chopping board, without any strength to move.

The world before his eyes became blurry and the light dim.

When his sight finally disappeared, what Li Hao saw was Li Tianzong and Li Xiaoran roaring in sorrow, but the two seemed unable to see him, and their sight was not focused on his consciousness, but they were just looking at the vast world with grief and indignation.

Li Hao wanted to say goodbye with a smile, but his body was no longer there.

The darkness was like a closed window, completely blocking out the light.

Li Hao felt that his consciousness was disintegrating and disappearing, as if he was falling into an endless abyss.

Is this the end of my unnecessary life?

However, before he died, he seemed to have done one good thing, which was a good ending.

As Li Hao was thinking, he felt a cool breath surrounding him in the darkness and he seemed to hear the clear sound of flowing river in his ears.

At the same time, a voice seemed to ring in my heart:

"Don't you want to go home?"

Rather than a sound, it was more like a thought that came to my mind.

go home……

Li Hao's thoughts drifted, drifting to the luxurious and empty courtyard, then drifting out of the courtyard, drifting across countless mountains and rivers.

It drifted to Tianmen Pass, to the small courtyard with a fence, and to the Longguan Road along the way, as well as to the blooming flowers seen along the way.

Where is home?
During this journey, there were storms, snowstorms and clear skies. The scenery was changing, but the laughter and joy that accompanied us remained the same.

He has no home, but he has friends.

Li Hao sighed in his heart, feeling regretful and guilty.

He could no longer accompany Old Feng on fishing trips, and he had not yet taught Qianqian the swordsmanship and helped her become a master. The little girl had followed him through many hardships and had suffered a lot.

There is also the little white fox. This little guy will have to find food for himself from now on.

Second Master, Auntie...Yuan Zhao...

Li Hao sighed in his heart, feeling that the chill in the darkness seemed to disappear, and his consciousness became weaker and weaker.

Is it because I'm about to die that I can't feel anything?

Li Hao's consciousness continued to sink.

But as I fell deeper and deeper, suddenly, a warm feeling seemed to emerge from my "chest".

Li Hao was about to lose consciousness from his drowsiness, but gradually he regained consciousness.

He looked down and saw a red light emerging from his chest. It gradually became stronger and stronger, like thick plasma, illuminating the darkness and surrounding his consciousness.

Then, Li Hao saw the darkness gradually dissipating.

When the darkness disappeared, he saw himself in front of a thatched hut.

Next to the thatched hut, an old man in a tattered robe was busy piling something in front of him, with his back to him.

Li Hao looked up and saw a mountain in front of the thatched hut.

That old man is moving mountains!

In other words, he is building a mountain!
Li Hao was stunned. Where was this and what was happening in front of him?
When Li Hao was puzzled, the old man seemed to realize something and suddenly stopped moving with his hands.

Then, the towering mountain in front of him began to tremble slightly, and then a huge crack appeared, and then it collapsed with a loud bang!
Li Hao subconsciously wanted to dodge, but the collapsed rocks fell straight down, and a bottomless hole seemed to appear under the mountain, swallowing up the entire mountain!

Li Hao was stunned, looking at the old man, it was a strange face. The other party was also staring at him indifferently with no expression.

"Don't you want to go home?"

After a while, the old man slowly spoke.

Li Hao was slightly stunned and looked around, only to see a bright moon. He was surprised and had a vague feeling that this place seemed to still be in the Dead River.

"I regard the world as my home. Old senior, are you also trapped in this Dead River?" Li Hao asked, suspecting that the old man in front of him was also a soul imprisoned in the Dead River.

The old man stared at Li Hao for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed: "No wonder I couldn't trap you by controlling the Dead River. I didn't expect to meet someone like you..."

When he said this, Li Hao's expression suddenly changed. Control the Dead River?
The old man in front of me can actually control the Dead River?
Li Hao suddenly thought of something and quickly called out to Muhe in his heart.

I saw golden fonts appearing before my eyes, gathering into several messages:

Dead River clearance progress: 99%.

Main quest: Guarding Dragon City (completed)
Side Quest: Growth (Completed)
……

Li Hao was stunned. The progress of clearing the level was not satisfactory.

All the difficult main quests have been completed.

Does that mean that completing the main quest won't clear the level?

As if he could see what Li Hao was thinking, the old man seemed to be in a very good mood and said:
"The so-called main mission you completed can only allow you to leave this dead river and break away from Li Tianzong's obsession. But you think it's too easy to pass the level."

Li Hao was speechless.

The main quest is so abnormal, but I still can't pass it. How difficult is this Youdu-level Dead River?
"But now you only need to do one more thing to truly pass the level."

The old man smiled and said, "This dead river was originally of the Netherworld level. It became the Netherworld level because my dead soul drifted here and merged with it. But now, its power and my obsession have been broken by you. There is only one last thing left. If you can do it, you can truly pass the level."

Li Hao's eyes flickered and he asked, "What's the matter?"

"take me Home."

The old man said: "The souls attracted and imprisoned by this dead river, because of me, all have a deep obsession with returning home. The deeper the obsession, the harder it is to break free. Similarly, people with the same obsession cannot truly pass through this dead river!"

"Even if you complete the so-called mission, if you can't see this in the end and can't give up your obsession with 'home', you won't be able to break through here."

He turned around and looked at the mountain behind him that had turned to dust, with a hint of sadness in his eyes:
"I merged into the Dead River, and my obsession deepened. I have been building mountains here all these years, just to build the home in my heart here. But over the years, because of my obsession, the Dead River has absorbed more and more dead souls, and these dead souls have made the power of the Dead River stronger and stronger."

"The stronger the Dead River becomes, the deeper my obsession becomes. This cycle will be hard to escape in eternity."

At this point, he smiled, but his eyes were somewhat sad: "Now, the obsession I built has been broken by you. As long as I return to my hometown, I can rest in peace, and the power of this dead river will completely disappear."

Li Hao listened to his story with his eyes flickering, but he was doubtful in his heart.

The old man in front of me is actually the obsession with the source of this dead river?

By this calculation, he is the big boss behind the scenes?

But he looked kind and amiable, not at all vicious. "You don't have to be suspicious. The Dead River is already in the process of collapsing, and the dead souls are scrambling to escape. I will let your consciousness return to your body, outside the Dead River, and I will shrink myself and live in your body."

The old man said: "When you bring me back to my hometown, I will completely dissipate. Otherwise, I will take root in you. Over time, the power of the Dead River will gradually grow stronger, and then it will return to its current state. Therefore, you don't have much time left."

Hearing this, Li Hao began to believe what the other party said. Return to the outside of the Dead River?
If we can return to our body, everything can be verified.

Moreover, if it was an illusion or something, he could test it through his physical body panel.

Thinking of this, Li Hao said, "Then send me away first."

Suddenly thinking of something, he hurriedly asked, "Wait, can you send the person who came in with me out as well?"

The old man smiled and said, "Of course, he has come here many times, but his obsession is too deep. He will never be able to pass through here. Even if he truly hears the truth, he will not be able to pass through."

"In addition, I will also send the soul of Li Tianzong away, but don't think that he can be truly freed by passing through the Dead River. You think too simply."

"This is a Netherworld-level dead river. The dead souls here have long been corrupted. Even if you pass through it, it will dissipate."

The old man said: "But I can use the little bit of power left in the Dead River to keep him going temporarily. At least, I can let him go home and take a look."

Li Hao was stunned. So, even if the grandfather returned to the ancestral hall, he would not be able to stay there forever?
But...can I go back and take a look?

Li Hao's face looked a little ugly, but he knew that this was something he could not do anything about now.

"If you are ready, I will take you away with me." The old man said quietly.

Li Hao nodded slightly.

In an instant, Li Hao felt that the surrounding scenery seemed to be changing, countless mountains and rivers were flowing, his vision became blurred, and finally fell into darkness.

When I opened my eyes again, bursts of light appeared.

At the same time, a strange fragrance of trees and grass wafted over.

When Li Hao opened his eyes, he saw towering trees. They were as huge as steep mountains and it took hundreds of people to hug one.

where is this?
Li Hao was puzzled. This didn't seem to be the rocky valley outside the Longchengmu River.

“Hao, Hao’er?!”

At this moment, two surprised and surprised voices, filled with disbelief, sounded beside Li Hao.

Li Hao turned his head and saw Li Xiaoran standing beside him in a daze.

Next to him, a shadow was floating. It was Li Tianzong, who also looked stunned and shocked at the moment.

"you are still alive!"

When Li Xiaoran saw Li Hao, he rushed over excitedly, hugged Li Hao in his arms, and hugged him tightly, as if he was feeling whether Li Hao's body was real.

Then, he grabbed Li Hao's shoulders and looked him up and down. When he saw a red glow on Li Hao's chest, he quickly asked, "Are you okay? What is this?"

Li Hao looked down. Previously in the River of Death, a strange red light emanated from his chest. Li Hao was also wondering what it was. At this moment, when he looked down, he saw that the clothes on his chest were stained red.

He turned over the clothes and saw two broken jade pieces, glowing blood, wrapped in the clothes.

"It's the Dragon Blood Jade!"

When Li Tianzong's heroic spirit saw this, he exclaimed softly, with a look of surprise on his face: "Is this a gift from His Majesty Emperor Yu?"

Li Hao was also stunned. He did not expect that the object emitting red light was actually the jade that he had worn since childhood and that was bestowed upon him by the emperor shortly after he was born.

"this?"

Li Hao picked up the two broken jade pieces in a daze.

Li Tianzong stared for a long while, sighed, and said: "The Li family has been favored by Emperor Yu. Xiaojiu died unexpectedly in battle, but fortunately Emperor Yu has preserved the next generation of the True Dragon bloodline for our Li family. Hao'er, you must remember Emperor Yu's kindness!"

Li Hao was stunned and asked, "This dragon blood jade saved me?"

He has worn this jade since he was awarded the title. He usually feels a warm warmth accompanying his body, which can drive away the cold and keep warm, and has the effect of slowly warming the body. Compared with these, it is usually more of a symbol of status.

"That's right. Not many people know the secret of this jade. This jade was made by the Taoist master of Qiandao Palace. It is said that the power of a powerful person who defies fate is sealed inside it. This jade has the effect of reversing a person's life. It can be called a second life in a desperate situation!"

Li Tianzong said.

Li Hao was stunned.

Seal the fate-defying power of the strong ones in the fate-defying realm inside?
What method is this?
When a strong person in the state of defying fate senses life or death, he can defy fate and change his destiny. If he encounters instant kill, it will be automatically triggered to defy his own fate!

I have never heard of any method that can plunder the power of a powerful person who defies fate!
This is too terrifying, is this the power of the strongest person in the Dayu Divine Dynasty?
and.

No one had ever told him that this thing was so precious!

He almost lost it several times!

"It's just deceiving fate."

At this moment, an indifferent voice sounded, and the three of them were stunned.

Li Hao looked over and saw the shadow of the old man who was the source of the obsession with the Dead River also appearing nearby. He looked at them calmly and said:
"Even without this precious jade, he would not have died. When he was on the verge of death, he had already broken the power of the Dead River, and the vitality in his body flowed into it. It was just that the precious jade sensed that he was on the verge of death and triggered it automatically."

"you are?"

Li Tianzong's face changed slightly. He felt an extremely strong sense of oppression from the other party. That feeling made him tremble a little. It seemed that the other party could put him into an irretrievable situation at any time with just a thought.

Li Xiaoran also felt the special aura emanating from the old man, but without the oppressive feeling that Li Tianzong felt. He just stared at him.

"You people from the wilderness wouldn't know my name even if I told you." The old man said indifferently, obviously looking down on Li Tianzong and Li Xiaoran.

Li Tianzong was slightly stunned. This familiar name reminded him of something.

"Senior, where is this place?"

Li Hao asked. He had already explored and found that there were towering wild trees all around. It was not the place where they had entered the Dead River before.

“This is the source of the Dead River.”

The old man said calmly: "The place you entered before was just an opening of the Dead River. I said that if I asked you to send me back, I would naturally take you out of the source. This place is closer to my hometown..."

As he spoke, he looked in a distant direction, his eyes showing a bit of nostalgia and hope, as well as a hint of impatience.

Li Xiaoran's face changed slightly, he looked at Li Hao and said, "Did you promise him any conditions?"

"Well, he is the source of the obsession with the Dead River. I have to send him back, otherwise the Dead River will revive." Li Hao said.

Moreover, I have already cleared 99% of the level, only the finishing touch is left.

"Where should it be sent?" Li Tianzong asked hurriedly.

Li Hao also looked at the old man. At this moment, he had already felt that this was indeed the outside world and not an illusion. In this case, the old man was probably not lying.

However, such a miraculous thing was somewhat beyond his understanding.

The Dead River was actually moved, and its source was actually a dead soul.

"The Great Wilderness Realm, the Ancient Saint Ji's Family of the Wilderness!"

The old man said indifferently.

Upon hearing the other party's words, Li Hao and the other three were shocked.

The words that Li Rumeng, the eighth lady's children, had said to Li Hao during the fight for the real dragon suddenly flashed through Li Hao's mind.

The Great Wilderness is where his mother is, and his mother’s surname is Ji!

Li Tianzong and Li Xiaoran's pupils contracted. They were present when Ji Qingqing married into the Li family. They had also been told about the origins of that woman...

The old man in front of him, his hometown is actually Li Hao’s mother’s family?
"You, are you from the family of the Ancient Saint Ji of Huangtian?" Li Tianzong couldn't help but ask.

If that's the case, they seem to be relatives?!

But the old man in front of them obviously didn't recognize them.

"You know?" The old man looked at him with some surprise when he heard this.

Obviously, they didn't expect that the people in the wilderness also knew the name of the Ji family. Could it be that their Ji family's fame has spread beyond the wilderness?

Li Tianzong was stunned for a moment, hesitating to speak, and finally said: "I don't know who you are in the Ji family, do you know Ji Qingqing?"

"You still know Qingqing?"

The old man was startled, and looked at him in surprise. Then he seemed to think of something and raised his eyebrows.
"According to the time, that little girl should be grown up. Why did she come to your Dayu to play? Ha, with her talent, I think she can easily sweep away the younger generation of your Dayu Dynasty, right?"

When he said this, the corners of his mouth curled up, as if he was a little proud.

Li Tianzong was speechless. They didn't know Ji Qingqing's level of cultivation, but they knew that her cultivation was pretty good.

I guess the other party didn't really show it.

His identity was only known privately during the marriage, and not many people knew this secret.

After all, many families of the Dayu Divine Dynasty, including other divine generals' palaces, were wary and repulsive towards the residents of the Great Wilderness.

Li Tianzong glanced at Li Hao and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

He knew the rules of the Ji family. Ji Qingqing and Li Tiangang's marriage was a private decision. If it weren't for their deep love, he, as a father, would not have agreed.

Li Tianzong sighed secretly and said nothing. He sent a message to Li Hao:

"Hao'er, do you also know your mother's identity? We will send her back together later, but you must not stay in the Ji family for long. You must not let anyone know that your mother is Ji Qingqing. I'm worried that they will harm you."

Li Hao was slightly stunned. During the time he was at Tianmen Pass, he had asked Old Feng about some things in the Great Wilderness during casual chat. Although Old Feng didn't know much, he knew a few things. That is, the families in the Great Wilderness have extremely excellent bloodlines, and therefore, they rarely marry outsiders.

The union of Li Tiangang and Ji Qingqing can be regarded as a result of their mutual solidarity, and with the protection of the Divine General's Mansion and the concealment of information about their mother Ji Qingqing, they have lived in peace over the years.

This is also why after my mother revealed her identity in Yanbei, the Holy Palace was scared away, and my mother left since then.

Li Hao fell silent.

I go to Ji's house, but can't recognize the mother?
Vaguely in his mind emerged the caring and loving eyes of that gentle and beautiful woman when she was in swaddling clothes.

"Come on, it's time for us to set off."

The old man urged.

"Let's go too." Li Xiaoran stood up and said.

Li Hao came back to his senses. He looked at the two people who were preparing to set off together and hurriedly said, "Fourth Master..." He turned around and wanted to call Li Tianzong, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to address him.

If I call him "Grandpa", doesn't it mean that I still recognize that identity?

But if I don’t call him that, the other person would probably be very sad if he knew my current situation, right?
Thinking of what the old man from the Ji family said, that the other party only had enough time to go home and take a look, Li Hao felt sad.

Having experienced the Battle of Dragon City, he knew how strong the other party's obsession to return home was.

"You guys go back first. The power of the Dead River has penetrated into grandpa's body. I'm afraid grandpa... can't hold on for much longer." Li Hao said.

On this last journey, he decided not to let the old man get hurt.

Li Xiaoran was startled and couldn't help but look at Li Tianzong.

Li Tianzong's face changed slightly. He also noticed his abnormality, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.

"That's right, you guys should leave quickly. This kid can take me back by himself." The old man of the Ji family said impatiently.

"Brother, is this true?!"

Li Xiaoran's eyes suddenly turned red and he looked at Li Tianzong.

Li Tianzong was silent. He looked at Li Hao and said, "It's just a glance anyway. It doesn't matter if you don't look at me. I am already satisfied to see that I have a good grandson like you."

"Since I will perish sooner or later, I will pass on my power to you. Perhaps it will help you reach a higher level!"

Li Hao understood his intention and shook his head slightly: "I haven't realized the Dao Heart yet. Your power can only enhance my soul strength, but it can't help me break through the realm."

Improving the strength of the soul is certainly a great thing, but for Li Hao, it can be achieved by practicing some soul-refining techniques.

How could something that can be accomplished with martial arts techniques cause this old man to lose his mind and soul over it?

Li Tianzong was stunned, and felt like crying: "But my dear grandson, I haven't given you anything yet, and you almost died for me..."

"You've already given it."

Li Hao looked at him, smiled, and said, "You recognized my paintings and my fun things that were not my main job..."

Li Tianzong felt even more sad when he heard this, and said, "Those are such trivial matters. My grandson is extremely talented, isn't he worthy of praise?"

Li Hao was silent for a moment, then smiled again and said to Li Xiaoran: "Fourth Master, please take Grandpa back. Be careful on the road."

Li Xiaoran heard that his elder brother Li Tianzong would soon die. At this moment, his head was still buzzing and he was a little lost. He came to his senses and said:
"I understand, Hao'er, you have to be careful too. Wait for me to send my brother back. If I don't see you come back, I will come to find you!"

"You don't have to come look for him. This kid is much stronger than you." The old man of the Ji family sneered. He is the source of the obsession with the Dead River. He knows everything that happened in it and is very satisfied with Li Hao's performance.

With such talent, he is considered a genius even in the Ji family.

"Fourth Master, goodbye."

Li Hao said goodbye to them immediately.

"This seems to be the border of the Great Wilderness. There are many monsters in the Great Wilderness and they are very powerful. You have to be careful too." Li Xiaoran said.

Li Hao nodded.

"Let's go quickly and stop nagging." The old man from the Ji family couldn't help but urge.

Li Xiaoran and Li Tianzong looked at each other and wondered which uncle in their family this person was. He had such poor patience.

The two of them asked him to tell Li Hao the information about the Great Desolate Heaven that he knew. The old man from the Ji family heard halfway and said:

"I'll tell this kid along the way, so hurry up and go!"

After hearing this, the two of them gave up, thinking that the other party was a strong man from the Ji family and would be able to show Li Hao the way.

Several people said goodbye.

Li Hao thought about Tianmen Pass and said to Li Xiaoran, "Fourth Master, after you send Grandpa back, please go to Tianmen Pass and say hello to my sword servant. Tell her that I can't come back for the time being and that Tianmen Pass will be handed over to her and my clone to guard."

He said he was a sword servant but did not mention Old Feng, mainly because he was worried that the other party would not be able to accept Old Feng's identity.

When the message reached Ren Qianqian's ears, it was naturally passed on to Old Feng, and Old Feng could understand what he meant.

"Ah."

Li Xiaoran nodded, and his expression changed slightly when he thought of the rumors about Li Hao and Li Tiangang that he had vaguely heard. However, when he thought that his elder brother was still by his side, he did not show any reaction immediately.

After saying goodbye, Li Hao watched Li Xiaoran and Li Tianzong leave together. They followed the main road, identified the direction of the Dayu Divine Dynasty, and then flew away.

"It's time for us to go."

The old man from the Ji family said.

Li Hao stared at it for a long time, then retracted his gaze and nodded slightly.

……

……

Li Xiaoran and Li Tianzong flew straight through the wilderness.

Every time it flew several hundred miles, it would stop and determine its direction.

As he continued to move forward, he finally found the exact location and couldn't help but show his joy:

"This is outside Liangzhou. Looking at the route ahead, we can just pass by Tianmen Pass on our way back."

"Tianmen Pass?"

Li Tianzong was curious: "I just heard Hao'er say that he is stationed there? How old is Hao'er? How can he be allowed to lead the troops to fight now? He is still at the age of cultivation."

Li Xiaoran smiled somewhat unnaturally and said, "Hao'er is extremely talented, as you have seen. His training speed is amazing. It is not a bad thing to practice in advance."

"That's true. He was only fifteen years old outside, but he was eighteen years old there and could compete with the demon king of the Taiping Dao realm..."

When Li Tianzong said this, his eyes kept shining with excitement and surprise: "My Li family has such descendants, I can die without regrets!"

I heard him say the words "no regrets in death".

Li Xiaoran's face changed slightly and he was silent. Thinking of what Li Hao had just said, his elder brother could only go back and take a look, and it would disappear immediately.

His heart ached, and he said nothing. He lowered his head and quickened his pace.
