What use is such a team?
Those elders of the clan are extremely "self-serving."
When it comes to choosing the Lord, the team he assembles is crucial!
Even if there is a Divine Power Realm expert, it wouldn’t change much.
"Father, there’s no need."
"We better not disturb the experts from Mother’s side. Otherwise, those clan elders will definitely accuse Mother’s family of interfering in our Li clan, which would be detrimental to my competition for the position of the Lord."
"I already have a Divine Power Realm expert. Don’t underestimate this single expert; one can equal ten of theirs!"
"Experts should be refined, not abundant."
Li Guang spoke confidently.
The expert Li Guang was referring to was, naturally, Lu Changsheng.
His trust in Lu Changsheng was even greater than Lu Changsheng’s confidence in himself.
Of course, Lu Changsheng was currently in "seclusion."
Transforming his Dao Fruit into Divine Power, as long as there was Heavenly Spirit Water, would hardly be an issue.
Li Chengwu frowned slightly, gazing at Li Guang with suspicion, and said in a deep voice: "Guang’er, what kind of Divine Power Realm expert can be as strong as ten of them?"
"Don’t underestimate those other candidates for the Lordship in the clan. Among the teams they’ve formed are some of the top-tier Divine Power Realm experts, ones even I cannot rival."
"In fact, even if the experts from your mother’s side join, they wouldn’t hold much of an advantage."
Li Chengwu was genuinely worried.
With the current situation Li Guang was in, how many experts could he possibly recruit?
"Li Guang, are you talking about Lu Changsheng from Hao Immortal Pavilion?"
Suddenly, Li Chengwu spoke.
"Father, you already know?"
Li Guang abruptly raised his head, his eyes filled with surprise as he looked at Li Chengwu.
Li Chengwu chuckled and said: "Guang’er, you’re underestimating the Li clan. Whatever happens in Heavenly Saint City, there’s nothing that escapes the knowledge of the Li clan."
"In fact, I know more than you do."
"That Lu Changsheng won ten consecutive matches, earning the title of King of the Fighting Arena. Later, he also helped you shine brilliantly at the treasure contest, seizing the top position."
"However, you’ve offered Lu Changsheng tremendous respect and benefits. He even purchased eighty-three drops of Heavenly Spirit Water from the Commerce."
"Based on this, you’ve judged that Lu Changsheng is a Great Divine Power Martial Artist, which is why you’ve gone all in, igniting your passion to compete for the position of Lord, am I correct?"
Li Guang was truly shocked.
How much time had even passed?
His father had already investigated everything thoroughly.
"These are just the details you’re aware of. There’s also information about Lu Changsheng that you don’t know. Interested in hearing it?"
"Of course, I want to hear it!"
Li Guang nodded eagerly.
He had always been curious about Lu Changsheng’s origins.
But he didn’t have the authority his father, Li Chengwu, possessed to uncover Lu Changsheng’s precise background.
"Lu Changsheng first appeared in Hao Immortal Pavilion. According to our investigation, Hao Immortal Pavilion likely stems from a remote and insignificant region with a Super Long Distance Transmission Array and a Golden Core True Master guarding it."
"They’ve tried to establish themselves in the Holy Land, but lacking strength, they’ve only managed to set up the Hao Immortal Pavilion."
"Lu Changsheng, without a doubt, must have been a martial artist who came from a backward and isolated region. He’s likely their only hope."
If Lu Changsheng or True Master Cui Xuan had been present to hear this, they would’ve been utterly shocked.
Because everything Li Chengwu said was what they had fought desperately to keep hidden.
Yet, Li Chengwu had already known.
Or rather, when it came to matters in Heavenly Saint City, no secret truly escaped the reach of the Li clan.
"Hao Immortal Pavilion..."
Li Guang pondered deeply.
The Holy Land was a place of flourishing cultivation, a destination every martial artist dreamed of.
However, around the outskirts of the Holy Land, far from its core, there were other regions where martial artists and immortal cultivators resided.
But such places could never produce truly powerful experts.
The few strong individuals from those places often sought breakthroughs by coming to the Holy Land.
Lu Changsheng might very well be one of them.
No wonder such a talent was previously unknown to Li Guang.
Still, the Li clan Commerce held no interest in backward and isolated regions. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs Novᴇ(l)Fɪre .ɴᴇt
Perhaps, that was why Hao Immortal Pavilion, despite existing in Heavenly Saint City for so many years, had remained undisturbed all along.
The major powers of Heavenly Saint City had no interest in the backward and insignificant areas Hao Immortal Pavilion originated from.
"Father, no matter what Lu Changsheng’s identity may be, as long as he currently doesn’t have any major influences backing him, isn’t that enough?"
"If his strength truly surpasses other Divine Power Realm experts and he helps me seize the Lordship position, then that’s all that matters."
"I believe you, too, have investigated better than me and understand what Lu Changsheng’s performance in the battlefield and treasure contest signifies."
Li Guang remained calm.
He knew exactly what he needed.
Li Chengwu revealed a satisfied smile.
"Hahaha, well said, a hero is not judged by their origins."
"No matter what Lu Changsheng’s past identity or status, it doesn’t matter. We are martial artists, and everything is evaluated based on strength."
"If he truly manages to condense a Great Divine Dao Fruit, he will instantly become a prominent figure throughout Heavenly Saint City."
"But still, the Great Divine Power... it is exceedingly difficult."
Li Chengwu shook his head slightly.
He remained skeptical that Lu Changsheng could condense a Great Divine Dao Fruit.
Of course, this was the man Li Guang had chosen.
Whether Li Chengwu believed it or not wasn’t important.
What mattered was that Li Guang believed!
"Young Master, there’s a man outside who claims to be Lu Changsheng’s acquaintance and wishes to visit the Young Master."
