Chapter 382: The He Family’s Submission
Faced with the combined assault of the Five Great Forces, the Li Family was ultimately annihilated. However, there was one thing that all the Martial Artists in the Eastern Heart Domain surely remembered vividly: the power of Array Masters.
When the Five Great Forces joined hands, they could have destroyed even a power like Celestial Eagle Valley, let alone a mere small family. Yet, in the face of their combined siege, the Li Family’s Array Masters displayed immense combat power.
The price the Five Great Forces paid to annihilate the Li Family was a heavy one. While it wasn’t a crippling blow, it was still arguably the most painful price they had paid in thousands of years.
The fearsome power of Array Masters was self-evident. After that siege, all Array Masters in the entire Eastern Heart Domain—and even the entire Eastern Domain—vanished without a trace. Even if some survived, they would never dare reveal their identities, as the Five Great Forces were incredibly wary of them.
"I never thought... someone from the Li Family actually survived," Patriarch He said, looking at Li Tian after recovering from his shock. "Aren’t you afraid I’ll spread the word now that you’ve told me your identity?"
In response, Li Tian put away his Array Spirit Pen and smiled faintly. "You won’t, Patriarch He. Because from now on, we are friends. We will serve Young Master Lin together."
Hearing Li Tian’s words, Patriarch He looked at Lin Yun and mused, as if to himself, "It is said that every Array Master has studied the world’s Ancient Texts, possesses superior wisdom, and is a master strategist. As the only family of Array Masters in the Eastern Heart Domain, this was even more true for the Li Family. Back when the Five Great Forces besieged them, the wisdom of the Li Family’s Array Masters thoroughly impressed the Martial Artists of the Eastern Heart Domain."
"For Young Master Lin to have the help of a Li Family heir is truly like giving a tiger wings."
Lin Yun felt no pride as he listened to Patriarch He. He was well aware of Li Tian’s capabilities and knew just how fearsome he could be. Honestly, Lin Yun had always considered himself lucky to have Li Tian by his side.
"You’re too kind, Patriarch He," Lin Yun said confidently. "What I must accomplish is incredibly difficult, which is why I need brothers and friends to lend me their strength. Of course, that has nothing to do with you. All I require is the He Family’s help during my time at Flawless Palace. In return, the He Family will become a renowned power throughout the entire Eastern Heart Domain."
