Family Cultivation: I Farm and Raise Fish under the Sea Chapter 169: 114: Shocking Change! 2

Chapter 169: Chapter 114: Shocking Change! _2

The howling wind whipped through his robes, making a flapping noise.

Lu Li traveled with abandon through the endless sea of fog, leaving behind a long tunnel of light.

After flying for several hours,

he arrived at an unfamiliar sea surface and stopped.

Looking up, a few miles ahead lay a small island.

The island was not large, about twenty miles in circumference, resembling a flying swallow with a coastline filled with a myriad of strange rocks.

The island was covered with lush vegetation, and the sounds of birds and insects were incessant.

This island belonged to the Li Family, used specifically for hosting large gatherings, a tradition that had continued for hundreds of years.

Lu Li landed upon the sea’s surface and slowly flew towards the island.

Before long, he approached the shore of the island.

Just as he was about to set foot on the land, a white tunneling light flew over, revealing a kind-looking elder—it was the patriarch of the Ye Family.

“Ha ha… Mr. Lu, it is fortunate to see you again so soon,” said Ye Hongren with a smile.

Lu Li gave a slight smile, “Elder Ye, I trust you’ve been well. Let’s go to the island together.”

The other, as the ancestral figure on his mother’s side of the family, had quite a friendly relationship with Lu Li.

The two flew towards the island together.

They quickly reached a large venue located in the center of the island.

In front of the venue was a high platform, with many seats arranged on both sides.

By now, many Foundation Establishnt Cultivators were seated.

Most were from Foundation Establishnt Families within the Li Family’s sphere of influence.

Upon Lu Li and his companion’s arrival, they rely glanced and paid no further attention.

However, two gazes carried hints of chilliness.

Lu Li followed those gazes and saw the two patriarchs from the Chen Family and the Wang Family.

It was Chen Yuanli and Wang Lin, who had uninvitedly co to his Foundation Establishnt celebration last ti.

Alongside the two were several Foundation Establishnt Cultivators who had also visited the Lu Family together previously.

That group of people was already morized by Lu Li.

His face turned cold and, along with the Ye Family elder, he took a seat at the edge.

Afterwards, they both quietly began to wait.

Ti slowly passed, and more Foundation Establishnt Cultivators kept tunneling towards the island.

By midday, all the seats on both sides were filled with Foundation Establishnt Cultivators.

The atmosphere in the venue suddenly beca tense and agitated, stirring the endless sea fog around them.

At that mont, Lu Li whispered to Elder Ye, “Elder, do you have any idea why the Li Family has called us here this ti?”

Ye Hongren’s expression grew a bit subdued, “It might be related to the last incident with the Demon Cultivator besieging us, I’ve also not heard a whisper; it’s rather peculiar.”

Lu Li nodded, which was not much different from his previous guess.

He did not speak again.

“Whoosh…”

Just then, two golden tunneling lights ca speeding over from the distant sea and sky; before those figures even arrived, an overpowering aura hit everyone, causing a heaviness in their chests.

The two figures were incredibly fast, and in a blink of an eye, they arrived on the central high platform of the island.

“They are Purple Mansion Masters!”

Everyone tensed up, and their bodies stiffened.

Lu Li’s expression changed as well; he hadn’t expected the Li Family to have invited two Purple Mansion Masters. This ti, sothing significant must be underway.

“These two are Master Zhang Miao and Master Qiu Guangling, allies of the Li Family in the nearby sea domains,” said Ye Hongren with a grave face.

Having lived for a long ti, he had of course seen several Purple Mansion Masters; he was familiar with these two.

Lu Li nodded, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

“Ha ha… You two have arrived quite early,” a hearty laugh echoed in all directions.

From a cave in the west side of the island, two cyan figures flew out swiftly, reaching the central high platform in an instant.

They were the two Purple Mansion Masters of the Li Family.

One was Master Li Haofeng, in the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion, and the other was Li Chengfeng, in the early stage of the Purple Mansion.

They were the only two Purple Mansion Masters in the Li Family, having secured their power for hundreds of years, with their reputation spreading far and wide.

Once cultivators reached the Purple Mansion stage, their lifespan significantly increased, but each minor advancent beca exceptionally difficult.

Therefore, it was not unusual for many Purple Mansion Masters to remain at the early stage of the Purple Mansion for hundreds of years.

“We couldn’t dare to be negligent when Li Daoist friend invited us,” Masters Zhang and Qiu both laughed heartily.

“Since Daoist friend has invited so many of us here, let’s get to the matter at hand,” said Li Haofeng, nodding and standing with his hands behind his back, a smile on his face.

The aura of the Purple Mansion was wantonly released, suppressing the entire venue.

Everyone’s faces tightened, and they sat up in their seats with serious expressions.

Monts later, Li Haofeng finally spoke slowly, “Several years ago, when our many families were besieged by an unknown demon cultivator, you all rember that incident, right…”

“At that ti, I sent a ssage to the Flowers Sect asking for help but received no response.”

His tone was extrely cold, and his face was frosty.

At these words, everyone’s faces beca even more tense. This was outright bla, a direct slap in the face of the Flowers Sect, causing the hearts of the people below to pound wildly.

How could the Li Family be so audacious, fearless of the Flowers Sect’s punishnt?

As one of the overlords of the outer seas of the Falling Dragon Region, the Flowers Sect had gained its imposing reputation over tens of thousands of years.

There were several venerated Golden Core cultivators within the sect, their might shaking the entire outer sea.

The faces of the other two Purple Mansion masters also showed difficulty in maintaining composure.

“Mr. Lu did not invite us here today just to say these things, did he?”

Zhang Miao displayed displeasure.

Seeing his reaction, Li Haofeng simply didn’t care and rely let out a cold laugh.

But the next words he said suddenly set the entire place ablaze.

In an extrely icy tone, he declared, “Since the Flowers Sect is not reliable, my Li Family has decided to join the Heavenly Demon Sect with all our mbers. How about all of you co with ?”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces went blank, as if turned to stone, and the venue instantly fell silent, so quiet one could hear a pin drop.

The two Purple Mansion masters were also shocked.

This was an outright trampling on the dignity of the Flowers Sect.

Was their Li Family courting death?

Lu Li sat in a corner, his expression slightly changing, feeling very surprised in his heart.

He couldn’t believe that everyone would be convinced by the Li Family’s unilateral account. If there weren’t so entangled benefits involved, he wouldn’t believe it.

If such a drastic change was due to just this reason, it would be a joke.

“It is said that the Li Family hasn’t produced a new Purple Mansion cultivator for over three hundred years; does Elder Ye know the reason?”

Lu Li quietly transmitted, with an indifferent expression on his face.

Upon hearing this, Ye Hongren’s pupils shrank.

“Are you referring to the Purple Cloud Jade?”

He wasn’t a fool and instantly understood the critical point.

It was said that this treasured object was in the hands of the Flowers Sect, and one needed to use sect contribution points to exchange for it.

The key to breaking through to the Purple Mansion was this item, which aided in opening up the Purple Mansion space.

This was far more precious than a Foundation Establishnt Pill; the two were incomparable.

“Elder Ye’s words are like waking soone from a dream.”

Ye Hongren transmitted softly.

“Presumably, the Heavenly Demon Sect has also offered a handso price.”

In this world, everything boils down to interests. Having lived for over a hundred years, he had gained a lot of experience.

After both of them understood all this, they sat quietly in their original places, with very serious expressions on their faces.

The many Foundation Establishnt cultivators also did not answer for a ti, looking at each other in dismay.

Not a single one dared to take the lead; if they disagreed, they feared they might be slain on the spot.

As for escaping, that was even more out of the question. Could anyone outrun a Purple Mansion cultivator’s Flying Sword?

Whoever takes the lead would die! This was crystal clear to everyone.

A group of people began to look towards the two Purple Mansion masters.

These two had the highest cultivation in the gathering.

Li Haofeng was aware of the situation and turned to the two Purple Mansion masters with a slight smile, “What do you think, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Qiu? The wise adapt.”

“Nothing doing! I’d really like to know what makes you think you could hold the two of us here.”

Zhang Miao flatly refused without hesitation.

Although their families were allies, such a significant matter was not to be taken lightly.

Moreover, it was obvious that the Li Family had already negotiated benefits with the Heavenly Demon Sect; joining halfway would be seeking death.

The Flowers Sect was not to be trifled with.

Next to him, Qiu Guangling also had an icy expression and remained silent, clearly deferring to Master Zhang.

He was only at the early stages of Purple Mansion, while Zhang Miao was at the mid-stage.

Seeing this, the people below all let out a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness the two masters didn’t agree. Even if a great battle were to start, they might be able to slip away in the chaos.

Lu Li sat quietly in his seat, scanning around, ready to retreat as soon as the conflict erupted.

But he felt quite uneasy in his heart. What kind of card was the Li Family holding to be so bold and brazen?

Seeing the situation, Li Haofeng wasn’t angry; instead, he laughed heartily.

At this mont, the situation on the island suddenly changed dramatically.

“Boom…”

Dozens of lights suddenly appeared around the island and then, shooting into the sky, transford into a giant do, enveloping the entire island within.
