Cultivating Immortality in a Family: I Prove Immortality Through the Chaotic Dao Realm

Chapter 29 Demon Alliance Invasion! The Pioneering of the Li Kingdom!
"There are some family matters that need to be discussed and coordinated by Father. He will be here shortly."

Chen Qian frowned slightly, feeling somewhat puzzled.

At this point in time, the father-in-law should be waiting for his daughter to return home.

What could be so urgent that it needs to be discussed at this particular time?

There must have been some unexpected situation, but Chen Yunyi remained calm and showed no signs of tension.

Then it shouldn't be anything serious.

Although Chen Qian and his wife were initially curious, they could understand why.

As the head of the family, Chen Hongming is naturally involved in everything, so isn't it normal for him to have occasional meetings?

They should be back soon, right?
Chen Yunxi returned home excitedly, but was slightly unhappy that she didn't see her father right away.

But I've gotten used to it.

My father always puts family matters first.

"Sister Yunyi, I have admired you since I was a child."

Feng Momo looked at Chen Yunyi with bright, sparkling eyes and said:
"When I see you, I feel that you are confident and have everything under control, which makes me feel very at ease, while I always seem carefree, impulsive and reckless."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yunyi's eyes lit up with a smile as she looked at Feng Momo and said:

"You're more like a little girl now. I like your personality."

"I rarely experience emotional fluctuations, but I envy your innocence and childlike heart."

"Yunxi is also on the quieter side, and I wish she could have a personality like yours."

Chen Yunxi glanced at her sister with displeasure and laughed:
"So, my sister isn't entirely satisfied with me. If I had been as lively as Sister Momo since I was little, would you have had a headache?"

Yunxi lost her mother at a young age and was much younger than her older sister. As the saying goes, the eldest sister is like a mother, and Chen Yunyi took care of many things for her.

If it weren't for her quiet nature and aversion to trouble, Chen Yunyi would probably have a headache too.

Unable to maintain an aloof and detached demeanor.

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

The entire Qingwei Hall was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation, creating a lively and joyful atmosphere.

Just then, a figure appeared at the entrance of Qingwei Hall, and Chen Hongming walked in hurriedly.

Upon seeing this, everyone stood up and bowed.

"Daddy."

"Father!"

"Hello, father-in-law."

Chen Hongming's expression was somewhat solemn, but upon seeing his children gathered together, his expression softened slightly, and he waved his hand, saying:

"Don't stand on ceremony, please sit down."

Chen Yunyi served her father a cup of tea and asked:

"Father, have you reached a consensus with the elders?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked slightly surprised. It seemed that something urgent had indeed happened, but they didn't know how serious it was.

Chen Hongming pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, I'll tell you. It's not a secret."

"It is only right that you have some understanding of the major events in these families."

Chen Hongming paused, downed his tea in one gulp, and only after everyone's attention was focused on him did he speak:
"As you all know, we have a long-standing grudge against the Lu family and the other families, with constant friction and countless blood feuds between us."

"Over the past few decades, the Lu family has developed quite well. They now have two Foundation Establishment ancestors, and the territory they occupy and the resources they harvest each year far exceed those of us."

"Although our Chen family has formed an alliance with the Zhao and Qian families, we are only capable of maintaining the status quo and not of expanding our territory."

"The cultivation world in Li Kingdom is not peaceful right now. It has been nearly ninety years since the last invasion by the Demon Alliance. A hundred years is just a figure of speech, so an invasion by the Demon Alliance could happen at any time."

"Although our Li Kingdom will not be the first to be hit, if the invasion begins, we will definitely mobilize the entire nation to support Jiangyin Kingdom." "There are also reports that our Li Kingdom's dominant sect, Cangfeng Pavilion, intends to launch a pioneering war, and this time the direction will be south. In that case, the families under our Beast Taming Sect are very likely to be called up as the main force to participate in the war."

At this point, Chen Hongming couldn't help but feel worried.

Whether it's the Demon Alliance's invasion or the reclamation of the Li Kingdom, these are the general trends in the cultivation world. As families that make a living under the auspices of the immortal sects, they can only passively obey orders and commands, powerless to escape or resist.

Under such circumstances, if anything goes wrong or any unexpected event occurs, it could very well lead to the extermination of the entire clan.

Everyone present understood this principle, especially Chen Qian, whose sense of powerlessness was particularly unsettling.

He will surely be invincible in the future, but in the present he is like an ant.

We must improve our cultivation level as soon as possible; there is no time to lose. Our own strength is the guarantee of everything.

Chen Qian gritted his teeth and made a silent decision.

After a brief pause to allow everyone to process this important information, Chen Hongming continued:
"Therefore, no matter what the future holds, the strength of the family is the fundamental way to withstand risks."

"To increase our strength, we must acquire more territory, gather more resources, and cultivate more family members."

“Our shops in various markets are the most important part of our family business, especially in Aobayama Market.”

“A few days ago, the Lu family acquired a shop in Qingye Mountain, mainly selling talismans and magical artifacts.”

"This is also the main business of our Chen family. They want to weaken our revenue as much as possible and do everything they can to drag our family down."

"We have nowhere to retreat; we can only fight them to the bitter end."

"Therefore, after discussions with the elders, we have made a decision."

Chen Hongming then earnestly instructed Chen Yunyi:
"Yunyi, this time I will go to Qingye Mountain with you, and we will also gather a batch of first-grade high-quality talismans and magical artifacts to accompany us. We must do everything we can to protect our core business."

"Yes, Father, I understand."

Even Chen Yunyi's usually calm and composed eyes couldn't help but ripple slightly.

The situation is indeed not optimistic. Although Chen Yunyi is young, her cultivation has reached the peak of the eighth level of Qi Refining, and she can be considered a backbone of the Chen family.

He is undoubtedly the number one among the younger generation, and the burden on his shoulders is indeed very heavy.

Although she has always been indifferent to worldly affairs and doesn't dwell on anything, her family is also her root.

This matter, which concerned the life and death of her family, stirred a sense of urgency in her usually calm heart.

After finishing his business, Chen Hongming's tone softened, and he adopted a relaxed expression.

"Today is Yunxi and Momo's homecoming, which should be a joyous occasion. However, there are priorities, and our family will have many more days to spend together."

"Given the situation, it's not wise to waste any more time at home. Yunyi and I set off this afternoon."

"You three should live peacefully in the valley. It's not time for you to contribute yet. Qian'er, just focus on your cultivation and improve your strength as soon as possible."

Chen Qian cupped his hands in greeting and replied, "Yes. Father-in-law, Sister Yunyi, please take good care of yourselves."

"Father and sister, take care. Don't worry about us."

"Take care, Godfather! Take care, Sister Yunyi!"

Although Yunxi and Momo were both very worried, they knew they couldn't appear too weak at this time.

She could only try to appear relaxed, to comfort her father and sister who were about to leave, and to alleviate their psychological pressure as much as possible.

The morning passed quickly.

Chen Hongming and his daughter Chen Yunyi have almost finished their preparations and are about to set off.

Before leaving, Chen Yunyi prepared to give her sister a few more instructions. Chen Qian came to their side first and asked the father and daughter to find a quiet place, as he had some things to say.

The father and daughter were both a little surprised, wondering what Chen Qian was up to, but it didn't matter, they still had some time no matter what Chen Qian wanted to say.

Guided by Chen Hongming, the three of them went directly into the inner room of Qingwei Hall.

This is Chen Hongming's cultivation place, which is equipped with a spirit-gathering array and a soundproof array. It is very quiet and secluded, and can be used to discuss highly confidential matters.
