Chapter 795: Visitation And Gift (II)
Tongmo Prefecture.
Li Chengliao stood atop drifting clouds, his feet treading on shimmering currents of air. The white ape, now transformed into an old man, silently rode the cloud beside him.
When news of Tu Longjian breaking through to the Purple Mansion Realm reached them, the Li Family had deliberated carefully. Given the current instability of the area, Li Ximing was not suited to make an appearance, and Li Zhouwei had yet to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm. It seemed more proper for the family head, Li Chengliao, to go instead.
Moreover, Li Chengliao had grown up within the family and had never seen the outside world. He had spent his days in secluded cultivation. Now, since there was nothing urgent at hand, he was quite pleased to venture out. He was looking forward to the experience.
The Yuyang’s Chen Family of Tongmo Prefecture was below his feet. It had many mortals, and was vibrant with life. Having governed his own household for many years, Li Chengliao nodded in approval at the orderly buildings and well-kept courtyards.
The Chen Family was also a renowned great family. Setting aside the Yuyang’s Chen Family, Lingyu Gate had once borne the same surname. However, the two had different origins. The Yuyang branch had lived here for generations, while the founder of Lingyu Gate had seemingly migrated from Ning State.
It was the same with the Li Family. Rumor had it there was another Li Family in Wu State that had lived there for generations, while the Moongaze Li Family was thought to be a remnant lineage from the North.
However, the Chen Family’s position was far better than that of the Li Family. As long-established locals, they had kin in nearly every sect. Though they had only one Purple Mansion Realm cultivator, they maintained good relations with all major factions.
Seeing Li Chengliao lost in thought, the white ape who rarely spoke, said a few words, “Patriarch, the Chen Family from Lijing within our household has excellent blood. They must be related to these two Chen branches.”
