Chapter 126 The Li Family Gathering! (Please read, subscribe, and vote!)
Li Xuan's "It's alright" seemed to have a strange calming power, making Li Zhan's tightly clenched heart relax a little, but the worry in his eyes did not completely disappear.

"Ancestor, what are your plans?" Li Zhan asked tentatively.

Li Xuan smiled slightly, but did not answer directly. He simply waved his hand and said, "Go and prepare a banquet. Make it grand enough. Invite all the sect leaders in this region. Tell them that my Li family has something important to announce."

Although Li Zhan was full of doubts, since the ancestor had given instructions, he immediately set about doing so.

In an instant, the entire Li family was busy, with lanterns and decorations, and delicacies and wines were prepared in abundance. The whole Li family was immersed in a lively yet slightly mysterious atmosphere.

Within a few days, sect leaders from various factions arrived at the invitation.

When they stepped into the Li family's territory, they were awestruck by its magnificent scale and orderly layout.

Along the way, the Li family members were all in high spirits, exuding an extraordinary aura, which made the sect leaders secretly marvel.

When everyone gathered in the Li family's spacious and magnificent banquet hall, they were so amazed by the sight before them that they could not close their mouths.

The hall was decorated in a magnificent and resplendent style, with precious spiritual plants placed around it, emitting a faint spiritual glow, making the entire hall seem like a fairyland.

Many guests sat there, all deeply moved.

One of them was a cultivator who had followed them all the way from Yucheng.

Seeing the Li family like this, I was very excited.

In this magnificent banquet hall, the guests' chatter rose and fell like waves, each word revealing their amazement and praise for the Li family.

"The Li family is truly... truly admirable!" A middle-aged cultivator in brocade robes couldn't help but exclaim. His gaze was fixed on the luxurious surroundings, then swept over the imposing Li family members, his eyes filled with envy. "The destruction of the Tai Long Sect, the destruction of Tian Shang City, the destruction of the Zhou family, the destruction of the Tu Long Sect—each of these feats would have caused a huge uproar in Qingzhou. Yet the Li family accomplished them with such swift and decisive action, and now they are thriving. Such strength and courage are truly admirable!"

A female cultivator dressed in plain clothes nodded slightly, her eyes sparkling with longing, and added, "Yes, and there's also the Han Hai Sect. It's rumored that the Li family patriarch of the Han Hai Sect went there once and wiped it out! Destroyed overnight! What immense power that must have taken to accomplish that. Just think, the Han Hai Sect was once an invincible force in Qingzhou, with only the Zi Dian Valley able to surpass it. Yet, it was so easily defeated by the Li family. This shows just how profound the Li family's foundation is now."

"Hehe, you would never guess that the Li family used to be just a small family, an insignificant existence in that small town. Now, the Li family has become so powerful!" A young cultivator said excitedly, his eyes revealing an undisguised eagerness. "If only I could join the Li family, following such a powerful family, I wouldn't be able to walk sideways in this cultivation world, but at least I would suffer less bullying, and I would have more resources and opportunities to improve my cultivation."

"Your idea is not bad, but joining the Li family isn't so easy." An older cultivator shook his head with a smile, though a hint of envy flickered in his eyes. "Look at the Li family's disciples; each one is a dragon among men, possessing both talent and strength. Moreover, this family is so prosperous that it must have a complete cultivation method, abundant resources, and a strict training system. If one were fortunate enough to become a member, that would truly be a blessing from one's past life."

“Who says otherwise?” A thin-faced cultivator chimed in, sighing softly. “Although our sect has a foothold in Qingzhou, it’s worlds apart from the Li family. Take this banquet, for example. It’s so grand and luxurious. Any one of the spiritual plants displayed in the hall would cause a frenzy in our sect, but here at the Li family, they’re just used for decoration. The difference is really disheartening.”

"Hey, don't sigh. We're only here at this banquet because of the Li family. Who knows, there might be some good fortune later," a round-faced cultivator said with a smile, though his gaze never left the precious spiritual plants, clearly showing his own envy.

"Don't forget, the Li family isn't just powerful; their conduct is also admirable," an elderly man with white hair said slowly. His voice was somewhat hoarse, but it exuded composure and wisdom. "I've heard that the Li family has always upheld the principles of fairness and justice, treating all its members equally. As long as someone has talent and is willing to work hard, they will receive the family's full support. Moreover, in Qingzhou, the Li family never actively seeks trouble, but if anyone dares to bully them, they will definitely make the other party pay a heavy price. Such a family is truly worthy of respect and emulation."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and the hall was filled with praise for the Li family. Those cultivators who harbored the desire to join the Li family looked around with burning eyes, secretly hoping for even the slightest chance to establish a connection with this powerful family and embark on a different path of cultivation. "Joining the Li family is too difficult."

A young man shook his head.

"Don't you know the three prodigies of the Li family: Jiang Yu, Zhao Xin, and Li Wu?"

"Who doesn't know these three prodigies? These three are incredibly powerful, it's a mystery how they even appeared."

"Not only that, I've heard that their cultivation level increases dramatically every time they appear! It's truly astonishing!"

"Shh, have you heard? Zhao Xin and Jiang Yu of the Li family are not disciples of the Li family; they are outsiders. Jiang Yu once knelt before the Li family and almost died. It was the Li family patriarch who intervened, killed Jiang Yu's enemies, and saved Jiang Yu's life!"

"It also caused Jiang Yu's body to undergo another transformation, awakening the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart in him!"

Some people were hearing this news for the first time and were shocked.

"What's so special about you? The Li family only started to rise to power after their ancestor returned home, and in a short time, they became the overlords of Qingzhou!"

The people of Yucheng laughed and revealed an even more shocking piece of news.

"Good heavens, there's another level! Why hasn't our sect's patriarch returned?!"

"What exactly is the identity of the Li family's patriarch? Could he be a quasi-emperor?"

"The patriarch of the Hanhai Sect went there and wiped them all out. That was a sect with a saint. The patriarch must have been a saint king or a saint at the ninth level, if not a quasi-emperor!"

"Saint King! Quasi-Emperor!"

Everyone was somewhat shocked.

A quasi-emperor? Could the Li family patriarch really be a quasi-emperor?!

"Hey, do you guys think there might be some tactless people who want to cause trouble for the Li family at this big meeting?"

A person suddenly said.

The people nearby exchanged glances. "Impossible. Who would be so foolish as to come to the Li family to cause trouble at this time? Isn't that just courting death?"
