After a large number of Transcendents were called away from Yanyun for various reasons, there weren’t many people left in the hotel.
The only ones left were about a dozen second and third generation disciples of the Daoist sect, as well as a few Earth Level Extraordinary beings and Li Changhe with his three companions.
"Not sending away the people from the Daoist sect... is he intending to use the Daoist sect as a stake, trying to fight off this crisis?" Li Changhe estimated in his heart and also guessed Li Kun’s thoughts to so extent.
No matter how dangerous this incident was, as the leader of the association, he wouldn’t ignore it. While sending away the other Transcendents to preserve the strength of the association, he also involved his disciples and grandchildren in the matter.
If this plan succeeded, then all would be well. Perhaps, under notification of the risk, the Extraordinary beings of the Daoist sect could really solve the problem by joining forces.
But if it failed... the Daoist sect would still face an extrely severe blow.
Pan Ke, the father who was still looking after the sect at the mountain gate, would beco an uninford spokesperson in the sect.
This Li Kun is really...
At this mont, a Daoist sect disciple entered and invited Li Changhe and the others into the room.
Li Changhe and his companions didn’t dawdle; Li Kun was already aware of their identities, and compared to other Extraordinary beings, he was more accessible.
Soon, they t Li Kun in the room.
The Daoist sect leader was sitting on a single sofa in the room, his hair graying but his back ramrod straight, dressed in a Daoist robe, seemingly ordinary. Li Changhe, however, could feel the mountain-like weightiness.
"This is the strongest Transcendent of this era... indeed very powerful. Even stronger than my godfather and Ye Gucheng," Li Changhe asked Pan Ke in [Friends], "Both being Mr. All-known, why is there such a huge gap between you?"
Pan Ke was Mr. All-known twenty years later, and he couldn’t be compared to Mr. All-known of this era at all. Both in terms of strength and status, there was a huge gap.
"Don’t compare to that ancestor. He is a legendary figure..." Pan Ke responded, "During World War II, various Extraordinary beings ca down from the mountains to fight against the Japanese forces. At that ti, Ancestor Li Kun was still among the disciples, and he joined the Daoist sect’s troops. As a result, he encountered Japan’s ’Seven Knives’ fad for wanting to cut off the Dragon Vein of Hua Country. After a night of fierce fighting leading to mutual injuries, only two of the Seven Knives were left, one of them gravely wounded. On the Daoist side, almost all the disciples were annihilated. Only Li Kun was able to fight. Seeing his fellow disciples suffer heavy losses, rage arose from his heart, and evil flared... he alone broke into the Japanese camp, killing over thirty n, finishing off the severely wounded one. Unfortunately, he hadn’t reached Earth Level at the ti, could not withstand the Japanese forces’ siege, otherwise, the other wouldn’t have escaped either."
"That’s powerful," thought Li Changhe. This era’s Extraordinary Association must be quite domineering indeed, given such a vigorous leader.
anwhile, Li Kun looked calmly at the four people entering the room. As the strongest Extraordinary being, his deduction ability was also more terrifying. He had deduced Pan Ke’s identity the mont he saw him. Therefore, he had guessed the identities of these few people as well.
To say he wasn’t curious about the world twenty years later would be a lie.
Although Li Kun’s face was serious on the surface, his mind was actively assessing the four individuals.
"Pan Ke’s son, he really does resemble him. Thinking about the age, did Pan Ke manage the sect after our incident while also getting a wife?" He silently assessed Pan Ke in his mind, "It seems that the association of that era is still barely holding on."
"Feels like the external techniques of the Zhang family." Li Kun looked at the fishpond owner and deduced his identity, "A descendant of the Zhang family? Calculating the age, he should only be six or seven now. I didn’t expect him to grow this tall..."
"As for this little girl... her murderous aura is quite strong." Li Kun looked towards Qiu Wentian and murmured to himself, "However, becoming a Confucian Extraordinary at such a young age, isn’t that just creating another Tianshan child grandma? Those from the Confucian school really have no scruples..."
Finally, Li Kun looked at Li Changhe.
"An Extraordinary Soldier, if not for the secret arts of the Tianyan Association, it ans that he has attained Soldier Karma sowhere." Li Kun fell silent for a mont, feeling sowhat emotional, "I just don’t know why, but I feel like punching him."
On the other side, Li Changhe beca alert, finding Li Kun’s gaze strange, inexplicably reminding him of Brother Dong.
Thankfully, the awkward silence didn’t last too long.
Li Kun broke the silence, "You must have seen my approach by now, haven’t you?"
"Yes, we understand you want to maintain the strength of the Association," Pan Ke responded, "This is good. If we can’t defeat the opponent, any more casualties would be pointless."
"Exactly, upon learning about the ’outco’ you’ve brought, I speculated that these youngsters might be our weakness. The enemy is likely to find a breakthrough from these youngsters. So, I simply transferred them away. Still, in case we need to form so kind of formation, I left behind disciples from the Taoist sect. They will be on lookout on the periphery while we act," said Li Kun as he stood up. Despite being well over a hundred years old, his body was still firm, even towering.
"The Ancestor is impressive," Pan Ke nodded, unable to help but admire Li Kun’s temperant.
If it were soone more cowardly, they might have left Yanyun to avoid trouble, to not muddy the waters.
Even if they didn’t leave, they wouldn’t risk their own people. Instead, they would transfer all their own people away.
Instead of being like Li Kun, who, knowing the mountain harbors a tiger, still boldly heads towards Tiger Mountain, and even specifically retained the strength of other sects. If sothing happened, the ones lost would all be their own Taoist people.
"It’s not about being impressive. I’m just doubtful there’s anything in this world that can threaten ," Li Kun huffed lightly, then looked at the four and said, "The four of you, although not at Earth Level in realm, possess strength that doesn’t fall short of Earth Level. Presumably, this is also why you could co to our era, right? Is this what the Tianyan Association calls the ’Evolutionary Cataclysm’?"
"That’s one way to understand it. Just based on physical abilities alone, we’re not inferior to Earth Level Transcendents. But coming here, most of our powers have been sealed," Pan Ke nodded. The ’Evolutionary Cataclysm’ is also considered [Evolution Ga].
"So, you’re not at your peak now? No wonder you have so few thods..."
Li Kun looked at Li Changhe and said, "Young friend, you must be a Celestial from an external path. It was quite the effort to kill Wu Ma last night. This must be the reason, right?"
"You’ve actually noticed? Well then, I won’t pretend any longer. Indeed, I am on Heavenly Road." Li Changhe extended his finger, a droplet of Black Mud erged, and the room imdiately filled with suppression and despair. This was the Black Mud Divinity... It was a power that belonged solely to Li Changhe, unblockable by the Evolution Ga.
"Speaking of which, the general’s robe was also comprehended by myself... maybe I can use it." Li Changhe thought to himself.
Looking at the Black Mud, Li Kun couldn’t help frowning.
He could faintly see a certain pitch-black path and the figure wrapped in Azure Fla on it...
In the end, he smiled brightly.
"So this is Heavenly Road..."
