"Elder Qiuye of the Skyveil Sect is indeed a formidable figure."
Looking at the previous information, Li Wei couldn't help but sigh. Elder Qiuye had truly planned everything meticulously. Without even leaving the Skyveil Sect, he had, step by step, lured Li Yunlin into a trap.
Back in the display, Elder Qiuli, who was just moments ago so high-spirited and imposing, was now battling three Golden Core cultivators within that blood-red canopy.
The Triad Assassins were likely a team that had worked together for many years: one at the mid-Golden Core stage and two at the early Golden Core stage. They were using combination techniques similar to those used by the Dragon Tiger Sect Brothers before. However, Elder Qiuli was no ordinary cultivator either and was not losing ground.
[Elder Qiuli is trapped in the Triad Assassins' siege, confined by the Su family's Hundred Spirit Cyan Bird Totem Formation and the Five Peaks Soul-trapping Formation, making it difficult for him to escape!]
Soon, Li Yunlin and his eleven fellow disciples in the sky were surrounded from all sides.
With a gust of wind, a figure burst forth from the ground within Su Family Town. It was a powerful cultivator with the appearance of a middle-aged man who instantly appeared before the Skyveil Sect disciples!
This was the Golden Core ancestor of the Su family— Su Yuanwu!
Facing the pressure of this Golden Core ancestor, the Skyveil Sect disciples, worthy of being from a major sect, showed no fear in the face of Su Yuanwu's Golden Core aura. In this perilous moment, they gritted their teeth and summoned their magical tools, vigilantly watching the hundred or so Su family Foundation Establishment experts gradually encircling them, seeking a chance for survival.
Li Wei's hand tightly gripped the mouse.
Watching the Li family members fight time and time again, he gradually realized that the people in this game world were truly freaking crazy. In life-or-death battles, many didn't even utter a single word, no curses, no trash talk. They just went straight for the kill!
The moment they met, it was a deadly move.
Look at Su Yuanwu in the game. He merely glanced at Li Yunlin and the other Skyveil Sect disciples before striking out with a palm. This casual attack forced Li Yunlin and the others to use all their strength to defend.
Immediately after, a gigantic water dragon materialized out of thin air, soaring through the sky!
However, Su Yuanwu's movements suddenly stopped. He furrowed his brow, gazing towards the Su Family Estate on the ground.
A thunderous roar resounded, and smoke and dust billowed as Su Jinming, the head of the Su family who had been conversing with Li Dalong and his wife earlier, emerged from the main hall with the other family members!
The main hall at the center of the Su Family Estate, once a magnificent structure, lay in ruins.
Four colossal steel puppets emerged from the smoke and dust, catching the eyes of the Su family members.
Li Dalong and his wife stood atop the shoulders of the war puppet, soaring at the forefront!
The three puppets on the ground, however, moved somewhat slowly, unable to fly, and were charging around, crashing into things.
What else could those three puppets be but the spirit puppets crafted by Li Yaotie?!!
[8th-grade Spirit Puppet No. 1, with the corpse of Master Shancai as its core, primarily made from 8th-grade Spirit Iron. Its strength and defense are comparable to the False Core stage!]
[8th-grade Spirit Puppets No. 2 and No. 3, with the corpses of the Dragon Tiger Sect Brothers as their cores... their strength can reach the peak of Foundation Establishment!]
Li Wei had to acknowledge Li Yaotie's genius.
However, these three spirit puppets, though modeled after the war puppet, were still inferior to it in many aspects.
They couldn't achieve 360-degree omnidirectional attacks, move with agility, or have an intelligent control unit. The spirit stones piled within them consumed a lot of energy for movement. The flying corpses within them couldn't enable them to fly swiftly, and they were somewhat sluggish when floating in the air.
Nevertheless, these three puppets were still a considerably powerful fighting force!
Meanwhile, on the battlefield...
Seeing Li Dalong and his wife on the war puppet, Li Yunlin's eyes were red-rimmed. Although he had guessed from the family letter that his family would come to help, he still couldn't suppress the surge of emotions when he actually saw them.
Li Dalong and his wife simply smiled at their grandson.
It turned out that Su Jinming, who had just moments before conversing with Li Dalong and his wife in the hall, had now arrived beside Su's family ancestor and the other family members. Although he had shown boundless contempt in the hall earlier, the appearance of the Li family puppets had truly startled him!
He immediately reported to Su Yuanwu, "Great-grandfather, be careful! The information Elder Qiuye gave us was inaccurate! This time, it's not just Elder Qiuli and the Skyveil Sect disciples who have come, the Li family..."
"They brought people from the Cloudsea Pavilion with them!"
Su Yuanwu furrowed his brow. He used his Golden Core power to scan the surroundings but couldn't sense the presence of any experts from the Cloudsea Pavilion. There were only a few unfamiliar auras within the Su family residence, but none were cause for concern.
He glanced at Li Dalong and his wife and said indifferently, "Huang Xiujin, that charlatan from Azure Cloud region who pretends to be mysterious, is actually a cowardly rat. I'd like to see if he dares to show himself today."
With that said, Su Yuanwu casually waved his hand, and the water dragon behind him lunged towards Li Yunlin. He completely disregarded Li Dalong and his wife, simply waving his hand again, intending to knock them back.
He believed that if that Huang Xiujin truly dared to come, he would make sure he wouldn't leave alive. After all, this was his Su family's territory!
But at this very moment, Su Yuanwu's expression finally changed. The giant water dragon he had sent to attack Li Yunlin, which was roaring ferociously, suddenly turned around to protect him!
It turned out that Li Dalong and his wife had effortlessly broken through his casual Golden Core strike.
At this moment, two more puppets appeared beside Li Dalong and his wife!
These two figures looked like ordinary people, their expressions numb and their bodies covered in dust. As Li Dalong and his wife channeled true energy into their bodies, they opened their eyes and stared directly at Su Yuanwu. Although they didn't emanate any true energy, they made Su Yuanwu feel threatened.
"Wh-What are these?!!"
Su Yuanwu was certain that these two beings definitely possessed the power to fight a Golden Core cultivator and could even be fatal!
But just as he was about to use the water dragon behind him to block the two puppets, He was once again astonished.
The two puppets had no intention of fighting him at all. Instead, they charged towards Elder Qiuli in the distance, clearly aiming to rescue him!
Just as he was puzzled...
A wild wind swept through.
Everyone present stared in astonishment at the Li family members. Ancestral tablets, each emitting a purple glow, emerged from their bosoms and rose into the air, gathering before Su Yuanwu. Finally, the purple light from the tablets converged, forming a colossal tablet, about five meters tall, mysterious and sacred, with the following character engraved upon it— Li!
"The ancestor has manifested!"
"Th-This time, it's truly a manifestation!"
"Is this my enigmatic ancestor???"
Su Yuanwu's ears twitched. His divine sense seemed to be spread throughout the Su family estate, and he faintly heard several rough voices shouting in excitement, almost to the point of frenzy.
But he had no time to concern himself with other matters now.
He stared intently at the enormous tablet before him.
The spiritual energy of the tablet was like a burning flame, causing black smoke to continuously rise from the tablet. That black smoke gradually gathered in front of the tablet, And condensed into a human form!
Despite being only at the False Core stage, this figure made him feel an immense threat!
This, being formed from black mist, seemed to be rejoicing in his arrival. He didn't even glance at Su Yuanwu, who was at the early Golden Core stage, but instead spread his arms and looked up at the sky as if savoring the air and embracing the world despite the enshrouding mist.
It also seemed that the entire Su Family Town became incredibly still with his appearance!
Li Dalong and his wife, along with the surrounded Li Yunlin, were trembling as they gazed at the person shrouded in black mist, their eyes red-rimmed. They almost kneeled as if they were witnessing the supreme deity of the world!
As the debris from the previously destroyed hall fell again, making a clattering sound, The figure finally slowly turned his head. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he fixed his gaze on Su Yuanwu. His hoarse voice, though calm, sent shivers down the spines of everyone present!
