Chapter 615 - 284: The Hidden Longevity Sect (Part 2)

In an instant, the Three Wild Lands were swept over, and although the matter of the Immortal was not spoken of, other sects were interested in checking whether their own people were members of the Longevity Sect, bringing suspicious individuals to Li Changqing.

Li Changqing arranged for people to carry out the checks, and those who came to inquire had to pay with their own treasures.

This sweeping investigation took a full year before it was finally completed.

What they say is true: you don't know what you'll find until you look.

A total of over seven hundred members of the Longevity Sect were discovered; all were captured, and from their mouths, they inquired about the hideout of the Longevity Sect.

Unfortunately, the Longevity Sect was so meticulous in its actions that those revealed were merely small fry, while the more formidable ones had long since escaped.

Ultimately, they still couldn't find the location of the Longevity Sect.

But from these people's mouths, they learned about the target they intended to strike next.

Previously, they wanted to target Yin Changli, but unfortunately, they didn't manage to capture him in Beihan Country, leading to Yin Changli officially joining Dao Mountain Ancient Land and becoming a disciple of Xue Qianbai.

Xue Qianbai was originally one of their targets as well, but he was too difficult for them to tackle, so they eventually gave up on him.

Regarding this matter, Li Changqing was a bit surprised. Could it be that the key wasn't just eight people?

After interrogation, it was revealed that the key wasn't only eight people; Xue Qianbai's Sword Heart was just one of the keys. It could be him, or it could be someone else, like someone with a powerful Blade Heart, or something else.

This gave Li Changqing quite a headache. It seemed things were indeed more complicated than they had thought; originally, they believed that as long as they protected Xue Qianbai and Yin Changli, the Longevity Sect would have no way, but now it appeared entirely different.

As for the Long Night Ancient Kingdom side, Guang Ancestor and the others also sent experts over, but they secretly hid there so as not to attract the attention of the people in Cloud Wasteland.

It's as if there was no news from the Longevity Sect.

Soon after, they were inactive for so long that they were almost forgotten.

In the blink of an eye.

Fifteen years passed.

Fifteen years later, everything seemed unchanged, yet it felt as if much had changed.

Li Changqing remained the same, but Li Hengsheng had become the leader of a peak at Dao Mountain Ancient Land.

He was now a master at the Innate Perfection Realm.

In the seventh year, he also assembled Dragon Blood Essence and other materials, seeking Mu Qingge's help to refine a Seven Treasures Glaze Pill.

With the power of the Seven Treasures Glaze Pill, Li Hengsheng thoroughly stepped into the Great Success stage of the Divine Body.

Even the Sun and Moon True Flame posed no threat to Li Hengsheng anymore.

And after achieving Great Success in Divine Body, Li Hengsheng's Divine Body burst forth with even greater capability, the Yin Yang Realm!

Opening the Yin Yang Realm, its ability was almost comparable to an Earthly Immortal powerhouse opening up their own realm. Although not a true world, the existence of the Yin Yang Realm gave Li Hengsheng a stronger foothold.

Despite being merely in the Innate Perfection Realm, he had once slaughtered grandmasters.

Gaining fame through one battle.

Acclaimed as one of the strongest rising stars in the Cangyuan Realm.

Geniuses were not lacking everywhere else, either, and there were talents who could rival Li Hengsheng.

For example, Su Xianci from the Su family in the Southern Wilderness.

And Yin Changli, a direct disciple of Xue Qianbai in the Dao Mountain Ancient Land.

Had already become experts among the younger generation.

Yin Changli, at the Innate Perfection level, comprehended the existence of the Sword Domain, sweeping away many experts of the younger generation, making a name with one sword.

The Sword Qi contained the natural Dao, each sword strike seamlessly natural.

Even ordinary grandmasters couldn't withstand his three strokes.

Additionally, Lu Shiran, despite marrying Li Hengsheng, hadn't fallen behind in cultivation.

And over the years, Li Changqing rarely left the Yan family.

Constantly staying in the backyard of the Yan family, sunbathing, cooking, seeing the scenery every day.

Seemingly idle, but when major events affected the operation of the Evergreen Commerce Association, they still sought Li Changqing's resolution.

The Yan family, Zhao family, and the Bai family had long undergone significant changes.

Today, they truly held power and had entered the Innate Perfection Realm.

However, based on their talent, taking another step forward was very difficult.

On this day, firecrackers sounded in Changting Town, a bustling atmosphere.

Many mighty beings joined the celebrations in Changting Town, even Li Hengsheng returned.

"Father, you are back."

Seeing Li Hengsheng return, a young man at the Yan family's entrance could no longer hold back and hastily stepped forward.

Seeing Lu Shiran behind, he affectionately called out, "Mother."

Lu Shiran now had gained more charms compared to her past youthfulness.

"Where is Grandpa?" Li Hengsheng looked at the teenager in front and asked with a smile.

"Grandpa said to wait for you to come back and then find them." Soon after, the teenager spoke, with a grievance: "If it weren't for today's aunt's marriage, would you still not plan to come back, forgetting there's a son here?"

"You brat, isn't the sect busy with matters?" Li Hengsheng said with a bitter smile.

The young man in front of them was their son. In the third year after marriage, Lu Shiran gave birth to a son with Li Hengsheng.

Li Changqing named him Li Shu.

As long as he lived comfortably, that was good.

Li Shu was practically raised by Li Changqing, though he was Li Changqing's grandson, Li Changqing didn't indulge him at all; he raised and educated Li Shu strictly, preventing him from becoming a spoiled second-generation rich kid.

However, Li Shu was never interested in cultivation but was keen on doing business.

This left Li Hengsheng, as the father, with some regret, wanting to take him to Dao Mountain Ancient Land, but Li Shu refused.

So it was left alone, and he just stayed with the Evergreen Commerce Association to help out.

It would be fine to become an ordinary businessman in the future.

Today was the marriage of Li Shu's aunt.

It was none other than Zhang Siyao.

Zhang Siyao was Li Changqing's goddaughter; she led an ordinary happy life at Li Changqing's side all these years. After Li Shu was born, Zhang Siyao was very fond of him, caring for him as her own nephew.

Later, Zhang Siyao and Yan Yushi developed true feelings over time.

The two got together.

Yan Yushi was now at the Postnatal Peak realm, not far from Innate, and Li Changqing watched him grow up, knowing him well, thus marrying Zhang Siyao to Yan Yushi.

Li Hengsheng and the others returned to attend the wedding.

During the ceremony, Yan Botao sat there, grinning with joy.

Across, sat Li Changqing, but beside Li Changqing's table was Zhang Fuguang's memorial tablet.

After the wedding banquet ended that day, Li Changqing also came to Zhang Fuguang's grave and talked for a long time.

"Brother Fuguang, Siyao has grown up and got married; you saw it today too, you can rest assured." Li Changqing said with a smile at the grave in front of them.

Li Changqing stood in front of Zhang Fuguang's grave for a very long time.

The next morning.

Li Hengsheng came to greet Li Changqing.

"Will you return today?" Li Changqing asked while washing his face, glancing at Li Hengsheng in the courtyard.

"Yes, I'll head back this afternoon." Li Hengsheng said with a bitter smile: "Father, ever since you had Li Shu, you've been ignoring your son!"

"Already so grown-up, what's there to ask?" Li Changqing replied, not in a good mood: "Still think you're a young lad needing your father to worry about everything?"

"Alright, alright."

Li Hengsheng gave a bitter smile.

Feeling like a child abandoned by his father.

"Father, let me tell you something serious." Li Hengsheng frowned and said: "Recently, it seems the Longevity Sect is making moves again."

Upon hearing this, Li Changqing wasn't surprised, casually placing the towel aside and glancing at Li Hengsheng, asking: "Are you referring to the Huang family's situation in the Southern Wilderness?"

"Oh, Father, you know too."

Li Hengsheng said in surprise.

"The information you Dao Mountain folks received, we at the Evergreen Commerce Association naturally knew it long ago." Li Changqing said calmly: "It does seem like the Longevity Sect's methods, hiding for so many years, finally showing their fox tail."
