"Please forgive me, sir. I was just anxious today. I never meant to threaten you!"

Yuan Shi also felt Li Chengtian's anger and displeasure, and he immediately kowtowed to apologize. Today he was indeed a little clever, thinking that with his previous understanding of Li Chengtian, he could rely on everyone to make Li Chengtian compromise. After all, that was how he kept Li Chengtian before.

Now Yuan Shi is taking a risk and wants to use the same trick again.

Unexpectedly, this directly angered Li Chengtian.

He also didn't dare to continue to press the issue and cause Li Chengtian's displeasure, as that would be a waste of time.

Li Chengtian lowered his head and glanced at Yuan Shi. His eyes were calm, even a little cold.

"Today was supposed to be a happy day. First, you have the means to kill the extraterritorial demons. Second, you have become the new clan leader and will be able to lead the clan members to resist the extraterritorial demons in the future. I didn't want to ruin this great atmosphere, but you acted like this, which is really disgusting. I just hope that what happened today is the last time. If it happens again, don't blame me for not remembering our friendship." Li Chengtian said calmly, not only to Yuan Shi, but also to all the Yuan clan members.

No one dared to say anything more and just nodded.

"It's not that I am selfish, but this sword technique is of great importance. In addition, the way you practice is not the same, so even if I intend to teach you, you will not be able to practice it. This is the difference between the two practices. Moreover, the method I practice is a road to decapitation, and the one I teach you is a method of immortality that can lead to ascension. Why bother to learn this flawed method? As for wanting to annihilate the extraterritorial demons, you need your own practice." Li Chengtian continued, "Remember, it is better to seek help from yourself than from others! Just as I told you clearly when I stayed here, this is the outcome that your people should endure. All the suffering needs to be solved by your own hands, instead of waiting for so-called external aid to save you."

Li Chengtian was really disappointed with Yuan Shi, which is why he wrote this long speech.

After saying this, Li Chengtian left the place alone.

The moment Li Chengtian left, Yuan Shi raised his head with a look of distress on his face, but this instantaneous change was fleeting, and then, like an actor who instantly entered the role, he began to behave in self-annoyance after doing something wrong.

And all this seemed so natural in the eyes of the Yuan clan.

It was as if he really knew he was wrong, and he was sincerely annoyed and ashamed.

……

Within the Li family, after Li Chengping had settled the affairs in Jinyang, he returned to Tongye Lake. When passing by the Yang and Miao families, both of them had changed their respective royal flags, which was something that surprised and astonished Li Chengping.

Now that the Li family no longer has Li Yang as a middleman to pass messages between the two parties, even though they received Xiao Heming's suggestion to expand immediately, they were unable to pass the message back so quickly. The Li family was able to take down the Yang family so decisively.

But when Li Chengping thought about Cai Yanzhi still staying at home, this kind of thing was normal. After all, with Cai Yanzhi's strength, she did not regard the Yang family as a threat at all, but rather as something that could be easily obtained.

After Li Chengping returned home, he learned the whole story from Li Xuanhuang.

Li Chengping said with emotion: "As expected of my aunt, she does things so neatly and efficiently, which is beyond the reach of others. In this case, I still have a long time to continue learning."

Li Chengping was certainly not flattering, but was speaking from the heart.

"According to what my uncle said, Jinyang in the north is also beginning to expand. Now that both the north and the south have taken action, it's a good momentum to work on both fronts. We need to continue expanding first, and take advantage of this momentum to capture more new territories." Li Xuanhuang said happily after hearing that the Li family in the north had achieved good results after dividing its troops into three groups.

The Li family has now survived the most difficult period and finally no longer has to worry as much as before. After all, before Cai Yanzhi's return, there were cultivators coming to the Li family from time to time to test them, and the Li family members were not tired of it.

Now, they are finally no longer troubled by this matter, and the Li family can take this opportunity to eliminate all threats.

"It is indeed possible to do so in the north, but the position of the south is special. Apart from my aunt who may take action to intimidate others, the entire family should not act rashly. Otherwise, it will lead to unnecessary enemies." Although Li Chengping agreed with his proposal, he also listed the inconveniences.

Li Xuanhuang naturally understood that all the actions of the Li family today were mostly based on Cai Yanzhi. After all, the Li family only had so many Nascent Soul stage cultivators, and Lu Huan was somewhat shady, so naturally they could only rely on Cai Yanzhi to go further.

However, the situation in the entire Lingnan area is extremely complicated. It is no longer easy for the Li family to expand again, unless they completely break off relations with the Qin family, thereby triggering a huge disaster. During this period, both parties can annex other people's territories.

"Don't be too hasty. Wait a little longer until things get more chaotic before taking action," said Li Chengping.

The two continued to discuss for a long time before finally coming to a conclusion on the matter.

Li Xuanhuang continued, "Now that I have cultivated to the middle stage of foundation building, it is time for me to pass on the throne to Jiangque. Unfortunately, the other members of the clan are all in Jinyang, so the only person who can be chosen as the successor to the clan head is Jiangzhu, who is intelligent and has a good relationship with Qin Xianyun and others. Today, I want to make him the successor to the clan head."

Li Chengping was in a dilemma because the Li family had always established the eldest son as the heir, and Li Xuanhuang's wife and children were far away in Jinyang. The successor to the head of the family could only be chosen from among the sons still in the Li family.

If Li Xuanhuang makes this decision now, the rule of appointing the eldest son as the successor will be completely broken, and more disciples will start to seek the position of successor to the family head because of their own ambitions.

"Logically speaking, the rules of family inheritance cannot be broken. Once the beginning is made, future generations will think that they can achieve the effect of establishing a virtuous person through their own management, but in the end everyone will want the position of the head of the family." Li Chengping continued: "So if you want to pass the throne to Jiang Zhu, then his mother must be the principal wife, and Li Jiang Zhu can use this identity to become the successor of the head of the family, lead the main courtyard of the family, and exercise the right of supervision."

Establishing the eldest son as the heir can avoid more messy things. After all, the protectors of the eldest son say that there is only one legitimate eldest son, and the definition of a wise man is too broad.
