144: Chapter 144 Lin Hao Recognizes His Father

At the city gate of Zhaoye City.

Luo Yunkai saw the flying boat bearing the Li Family's emblem from afar, his expression somewhat dazed.

"Old man, what's wrong? Feeling homesick?" Xiao Tian noticed his unusual behavior and teased him.

Luo Yunkai suppressed his complex emotions. "No, it's just that seeing the Li Family Crest makes me feel... a bit melancholy."

The Li Family was his starting point when he was insignificant; seeing this crest reminded him of when he was still a Mortal.

Decades had passed, things had changed, yet the Li Family Crest remained the same.

He thought that perhaps he should also prepare a Family Crest for his Luo Family.

Even if he and the children left this world many years later, if someone saw their Luo Family Crest, they would still remember that there was once such a Luo Family.

"Old man, the flying boat is close. Do you want to go say hello?"

Luo Yunkai snapped back to reality and shook his head. "I don't know the Li Family's thoughts yet. Let's wait until we can talk privately..."

"I think the Li Family should be willing." Ye Fan's voice was very calm.

Hmm?

Su Xin curled his lips. "Dad, the flying boat seems to be coming for us."

Chen Xuanfeng crossed his arms. "The Li Family should be very happy that you and my older brothers want to recognize each other. The fact that they arranged for them to come already says a lot."

Luo Yunkai listened to his sons' analysis and watched the approaching flying boat, his heart in a bit of a mess.

Could he really recognize four sons in such a short time?

Why did things going so smoothly make him feel a bit uneasy?

The Li Family flying boat, just as Su Xin said, was coming for them.

The flying boat hovered and stopped about a li away from Luo Yunkai and the others, and two figures leapt down from it.

One fell straight to the ground like a cannonball, while the other strolled through the Void Realm, his green robes fluttering.

Even from a li away, Luo Yunkai and the others could feel the ground trembling slightly.

The heavy object's fall kicked up dust, and amidst the rolling smoke, the two men approached together—one on the ground and one in the air.

The Li Family flying boat dropped off the two people and headed straight for the Cloud Carriage Service inside the city.

Luo Yunkai stared intently at the two brothers slowly approaching.

Even with the dust filling the air, he could clearly see their appearances.

The one below should be his eldest son, Lin Hao, over two meters tall with knotted muscles, looking like a human mountain.

He didn't even wear his clothes properly, revealing most of his bronze chest. Didn't he see those Female Demonic Cultivators whose eyes were about to pop out?

He really isn't afraid of being caught by a Female Demonic Cultivator for Plucking and Supplementing!

As for the one in the sky, it must be his second son, Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng looked very much like his mother.

Not in terms of looks.

At first glance of Li Changsheng, the blurry silhouette of his mother, Li Xiangjun, appeared before Luo Yunkai's eyes.

Too much time had passed, and her appearance had faded from his memory, but that indifferent and ethereal aura left a deep impression on his heart.

Li Changsheng's calm and ethereal nature was almost carved from the same mold as his mother's.

Just as Luo Yunkai was feeling sentimental...

Some blind fools popped up.

A Golden Core accompanied by several Foundation Establishment demonic Cultivators rushed out from the crowd, their killing moves following immediately, clearly intending to end the battle quickly.

As for retaliation from the Li Family?

After the kill, they would just dive into the Swamp Jungle; what could the Li Family do?

They only had themselves to blame for being arrogant and making such a dramatic entrance!

Stop fucking posing!

The leading Golden Core demonic Cultivator let out a "jie jie" laugh. People from the reclusive Li Family, their bodies must have been tempered by countless Spirit Medicines, making them rare and excellent puppet...

Suddenly, a familiar face appeared before the Golden Core demonic Cultivator.

It was that white-haired, white-bearded Righteous Path Cultivator he had tried to rob a few months ago, only for him to escape.

After the Golden Core demonic Cultivator's shock passed, he let out an even more delighted, sinister laugh.

"Good, good, good! Since you've walked into the trap yourself, you can also become my..."

Luo Yunkai's gaze was cold as he raised his fist.

Five-Colored Spiritual Power intertwined around his fist, extremely beautiful yet also extremely dangerous.

The intertwining and Fusion of the Five-Colored Spiritual Power seemed to contain a terrifying force.

Luo Yunkai's fist struck heavily against the Golden Core demonic Cultivator's heart, followed by his indifferent whisper, "I wanted to be a good person to avoid bad retribution falling on my sons, but unfortunately, you don't cherish yourselves."

The Golden Core demonic Cultivator grinned savagely. With this little strength?

It wasn't even enough to tickle him!

The long blade in his hand hooked toward Luo Yunkai's neck.

Seeing this, Li Changsheng and Lin Hao immediately wanted to shake off the entangled Foundation Establishment demonic Cultivators to go to the rescue.

But they only heard...

"Boom!"

That light, seemingly powerless punch erupted with a power that shook heaven and earth.

The Golden Core demonic Cultivator was blasted into powder, and even his blood turned into mist, leaving no trace of gore.

The power of this punch didn't stop there.

With Luo Yunkai as the center, the violent force vibrated everything around him into dust, and even the ground beneath his feet sank deeply, forming a massive crater.

Those Foundation Establishment demonic Cultivators who were pestering Lin Hao and Li Changsheng were weathered away along with their leader in this surging, terrifying aftermath.

Meanwhile, a faint five-colored ripple appeared on Lin Hao and Li Changsheng. The terrifying aftermath passed over them as gently as a breeze, not even ruffling a single hair on their heads.

"Is... is it over?" A rare look of confusion appeared on Lin Hao's face.

Li Changsheng's gaze fell on the white-haired figure with his back to them.

A throb originating from their Bloodline rose from the bottom of his heart.

Lin Hao also looked over.

Thinking of the terror of Luo Yunkai's punch just now, Lin Hao grinned, and just as Luo Yunkai was about to turn around, he shouted, "Dad!"

The voice was like thunder, and all the Cultivators at the city gate heard it clearly.

They began to whisper among themselves.

[Ding! Lin Hao has recognized his father. Ten million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones education fund has been received. Please check it, Host!]

Luo Yunkai's body stiffened, and then he quickly turned around, looking at Lin Hao in disbelief.

"You... you're willing to recognize me?" He thought Green Willow must have many grievances against him, and the child would certainly be unwilling to acknowledge him.

Lin Hao burst into loud laughter, his voice so loud it made people's eardrums thrum.

"I wasn't going to at first, but didn't I hear that you have a lot of Spirit Stones and give your sons a lot of pocket money? So I came rushing to recognize you."

He didn't hide his purpose of coming for the Spirit Stones at all.

Luo Yunkai was slightly stunned. To be honest, he felt a moment of disappointment in his heart.

But he suddenly remembered that he himself had initially sought to recognize his sons for the sake of Spirit Stones, so...

The boomerang had finally hit him.

Luo Yunkai looked at Lin Hao with appreciation. "As expected of my son, you know that any advantage that can be taken must be taken. Here, take this."

Surprise flashed in Lin Hao's eyes. He didn't take the space ring from Luo Yunkai's hand. "Are you not Life Qi that I recognized you for the Spirit Stones?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Luo Yunkai's mouth. "I'm only glad that I have something you desire, making you willing to recognize me."

Lin Hao frowned, scratched his scalp irritably, and snatched the space ring from Luo Yunkai's hand.

Without even looking at what was inside, he shoved it straight to Li Changsheng.

"Li Changsheng, you take it."

Li Changsheng shook his head. "This is what he gave to you."

Lin Hao curled his lip. "Aren't you also his son? It's not like he won't give you any. You take it, and I'll just ask him for more."

"Dad, you'll give it, right?"
