142: Chapter 142 is wrong! It's the tenth and eleventh.

Zhaoye City was becoming more and more lively.

Today, the major sects arrived; tomorrow, the great Families would land; the day after, hidden powers would appear.

Near the city gates of Zhaoye City, it was crowded with people waiting to catch a glimpse of the styles of the various powers.

On this day, another colossal flying boat, thousands of feet long, sailed into view, exuding a magnificent Aura.

"Information Broker! Information Broker! Hurry up and tell us which power's flying boat this is? It's so grand! It feels even more imposing than yesterday's Tiger Roar Sect."

Amidst the calls, a thin, short Loose Cultivator, utterly inconspicuous in the crowd, shouted, "Coming, coming! Let your Information Broker take a look!"

The Information Broker stretched his neck to gaze, his movements overly dramatic. In reality, a little spiritual power applied to his eyes would suffice, but he insisted on acting this way.

He saw the huge emblem on the flying boat: a flourishing tree with myriad roots and abundant fruit.

The branches and twigs of the tree seemed haphazardly arranged, but ultimately formed a rather imposing character, 'Li'.

The Information Broker's lips curved into a smile. "It turns out to be the Hidden Family, the Li Family."

As soon as this was said, everyone was astonished.

"What? The Hidden Family, the Li Family? Is there such a power?"

"I know this power. Rumor has it their entire Family resides within their own Minor Mystic Realm, completely isolated from the world. I never expected that for this Righteous and Demonic Grand Competition, even they would come."

"Their own Minor Mystic Realm? This Li Family is incredible!"

"Exactly! Among the many great powers in the Southern Wasteland, how many possess their own Minor Mystic Realm? Not to mention the Li Family, which completely controls theirs—only a handful."

"What's so amazing about that? The Thousand Souls Sect is one, aren't they? Even the Soul Stone Secret Realm is stable."

"Hmph, if the Thousand Souls Sect truly controlled the Soul Stone Secret Realm, would they let us Righteous Path Cultivators benefit?"

"This..."

The crowd discussed animatedly, filled with curiosity about the Li Family.

Meanwhile, the Information Broker, who had recognized the Li Family emblem first, quietly withdrew from the crowd while others were still debating.

When some Cultivators remembered him and wanted him to arbitrate who was right or wrong, his figure was already nowhere to be found.

What was the Information Broker going to do?

Of course, he was going to pass on information!

The Information Broker, clad in rags that suggested he wasn't a Wealthy Cultivator, appeared before the entrance of Duobao Tower.

His tattered clothing contrasted sharply with the grandeur of Duobao Tower. A normal person in his position would feel timid and short of breath, but he did not.

With a flick of his sleeve, he swaggered into Duobao Tower.

As he entered, Demonic Cultivators who were selecting items inside cast their gazes upon him.

Seeing the Information Broker's appearance, a clear malice flashed in the eyes of the Demonic Cultivators.

The Information Broker, who had been acting so boldly amidst the splendor of Duobao Tower, shrank his head in fear when meeting the malicious stares of the Demonic Cultivators, resembling a mouse encountering a cat.

A shop assistant hurried over to the Information Broker, shielding him from the ill-intentioned gazes of the Demonic Cultivators.

"Fellow Daoist, what do you require?" The assistant kindly led the Information Broker toward a secluded corner.

The Information Broker huddled in the corner, trembling. "I... I want to see Senior Luo who resides on your top floor."

The assistant's smile vanished, and he scrutinized the Information Broker with an unkind expression. "Who are you? How do you know who lives on the top floor?"

The Information Broker craned his neck, putting on a brave front despite his fear. "I am the Information Broker. You must have heard my name. I've come to find Fellow Daoist Luo to deliver news about his two sons."

Rumor had it that Luo Yunkai was extremely generous. The Information Broker wondered how many Spirit Stones he would receive, his eyes darting around slyly.

The assistant frowned, naturally feeling no goodwill toward this shifty-eyed fellow.

Moreover, two sons?

Did that mean their Young Master would have to share his father again?

The assistant's eyes sharpened, and he was about to drive the Information Broker away.

"I don't know what you're talking about. Get out, get out..."

The Information Broker widened his eyes, being pushed towards the door.

"Report the news, and you'll know I'm not lying! I know, I know..."

"Wait!" The manager on the first floor stopped the assistant. "What's going on?"

The assistant's face turned pale, and just as he was about to explain, the Information Broker shouted loudly.

The group of Demonic Cultivators who were currently shopping immediately pricked up their ears.

Demonic Cultivators generally had no interest in the affairs of the Righteous Path.

But Luo Yunkai was too special.

After all, there was also a Duobao Tower in the Demonic Cultivator territory.

The biological father of the Young Master of Duobao Tower—the Demonic Cultivators naturally had to investigate a bit.

Subsequently, Luo Yunkai became the object of envy, jealousy, and hatred for all Demonic Cultivators.

"Two more? Wow, this Luo Yunkai is truly remarkable!"

"His Physique must be very special. Perhaps making Puppets with him would have miraculous effects."

"I think his Soul is more interesting. I heard he first gained fame as a Loose Cultivator at the Qi Refining stage, yet he could be involved with the female Cultivators from these great Righteous Path powers... Tsk tsk. Such an interesting person must have a special Soul."

"Control your gazes. This is Duobao Tower."

...

The manager's expression darkened as he listened to the Demonic Cultivators whispering.

If he had known it was about this matter, he definitely wouldn't have stopped the assistant.

But now there was no choice; he could only send a message to Luo Yunkai via paper crane.

On the top floor, Luo Yunkai was currently discussing with his sons how to acquire the solar true fire crystal essence.

Chen Xuanfeng said, "I'll go!"

Seeing everyone look at him uniformly, Chen Xuanfeng smiled faintly. "The Heavenly Sword Sect has a group of visiting Sword Cultivators. They want me to join their faction and take me away from the Southern Wasteland."

"However, I don't have the Spirit Stones to buy the solar true fire crystal essence."

Luo Yunkai immediately replied, "I have them!"

He was swimming in wealth right now!

He had enough wealth to support a hundred billion in profit, enough to achieve the Wealthy Physique!

Chu Feng didn't know what to say and could only stammer his thanks. "Brother Xuanfeng, thank you."

Chen Xuanfeng raised an eyebrow. "Is that all the thanks? Shouldn't you dance for me?"

Luo Yunkai slapped the back of his head.

The paper crane arrived at that moment.

Luo Yunkai was afraid after previously letting the transmission content be released too casually, only to have his romantic history investigated.

This time, he channeled the spiritual energy into his ear and listened first.

His expression immediately froze.

Xiao Tian was too familiar with that expression.

He narrowed his eyes. "Old man, don't tell me... it's news about another one of your brothers?"

Luo Yunkai had told them that they only had brothers and no sisters, so they could confidently find Dao Companions without worrying about finding a sister.

Xiao Tian had given Luo Yunkai a white eye roll at the time.

What did that imply?

It implied that the old man's scattered Bloodline was unimaginably numerous; otherwise, he wouldn't need to worry about that!

Luo Yunkai coughed lightly and made the paper crane's message public.

After hearing the message from the manager on the first floor, everyone fell silent.

Even Yan Huo looked at Luo Yunkai with the same expression as his brothers.

Luo Yunkai coughed dryly, stood up, shook his robe, "I..."

"Together!" Xiao Tian stood up first.

Chen Xuanfeng followed second, standing up elegantly. Dressed in golden robes, he looked like a radiant entity.

Luo Yunkai was also becoming increasingly thick-skinned.

"Together, together."

As they descended the stairs, Xiao Tian leaned close to his ear and murmured with a half-smile, "Old man, how many brothers have we found now?"

Chu Feng gloated. "The eighth and the ninth!"

Ye Fan shook his head. "Wrong! It's the tenth and the eleventh!"

Chu Feng looked surprised. "There are seven of us here, isn't that right?"

Su Xin's voice was subdued. "It is known that there are two more brothers, our Eldest Brother and Second Brother, but we haven't acknowledged them yet."

Chu Feng was dumbfounded.

"Dad, you really are..."
