[Your descendant, Li Yunbing, had Ancestor Tianye and numerous subordinates monitor Grandhaven Prefecture for nearly a century, coveting the 'Dao of Cloud' that Banshu Weide had accumulated over many years.
He secretly had people relay news of the Banshu family to Jade Mist Valley, causing Banshu Qingping to face assassination at the border of Grandhaven Prefecture.]
[Upon learning that Banshu Weide had allied with the Immortal Infant and the watchdog, he sent messages to Jade Mist Valley and the Martial Academy, leaving Banshu Weide and the watchdog with nowhere to hide.]
[Banshu Weide and the Immortal Infant fell into a desperate situation.]
[Banshu Weide's fall into despair was entirely within Li Yunbing's grasp.
After Banshu Weide fell into absolute despair upon seeing Banshu Qingping feed on Grandhaven Prefecture, Li Yunbing seized the vulnerability to take in all the 'Dao of Cloud' accumulation from Banshu Weide's watchdog physique.
After five years, he glimpsed the Dao of Cloud—]
[Breakthrough, Body Integration!]
[The Dao of Cloud: ethereal and formless, coming and going without a trace!]
[With Banshu Qingping's half-immortal physique and the body of the 'watchdog' being heavily tainted by the extreme evil and demonic qi of the cultivators from the Three Prefectures, upon receiving the 'Dao of Cloud' imparted by Banshu Weide, your descendant Li Yunbing decided not to resist the evil qi on Banshu Weide's body!]
Back in the family.
Li Wei awoke in shock from his secluded cultivation.
The information of his descendants in the family continuously refreshed.
The messages from tens of thousands of descendants dazzled his eyes, but his Body Integration realm Spirit Soul allowed him to notice some crucial content.
The words "Breakthrough to Body Integration" caught his eye.
The older generation of children in the family were all striving to seek their Dao paths.
Li Wei never expected that the first to break through to Body Integration in recent years would actually be Yunbing!
[Descendant Li Yunbing, his evil nature is hard to quell.]
...
In the cloudy sky.
Li Yunlin looked at his younger brother's transformation.
Demonic and evil qi surged to the heavens. Beside his ear, the old cat's fur stood on end.
Yet, he remained utterly unfazed, only knowing that if the elders found out about this, they would definitely beat the two brothers half to death.
But Li Yunlin remained calm in his heart.
From possessing a Childlike Heart, to becoming the Patriarch, to becoming a regional overlord tangled in conspiracies, and now falling into the demonic path—he had grown accustomed to his younger brother's changes.
In the first half of his life, he had been away studying and neglected his duties as an elder brother.
He had failed to stop the family from making Yunbing become that damned Patriarch, and he had failed to stop Yunbing from becoming 'Jiang Chenghuan'.
And even now, he still failed to stop Yunbing from becoming a demon.
"Clatter, clatter..."
Chains covered in seals appeared one after another. Li Yunlin descended from the sky and landed in front of Li Yunbing, staring intently at his face.
"Brother."
Seeing Li Yunlin land on the ground, Li Yunbing glanced at the seal-covered chains in his brother's hands.
Suppressing the thirst for flesh and slaughter that came with becoming a demon, he called out softly.
That day, after the watchdog fell into disaster, the plan he had prepared in Grandhaven Prefecture for many years finally took effect.
The events in Grandhaven Prefecture had been full of twists and turns, but no matter what, one thing was inescapable: Banshu Weide was absolutely going to die.
This was his plan. The entirety of Grandhaven Prefecture was a trap for Banshu Weide.
The nine of them, siblings, along with the Demon Lord, had kept their eyes on the bodies of Banshu Weide and the watchdog.
He had also obtained the entirety of Banshu Weide's inheritance in the man's despair.
The family's Tian Xing Array and Zhao Clan Array were enough for him to completely devour everything of Banshu Weide's.
"Let's go home first."
Li Yunlin silently fastened the Spiritual power-sealing chains onto Li Yunbing. Layer upon layer of seals were placed on him.
This process took quite a while before he finally led the completely powerless Li Yunbing onto the clouds, heading in the direction of Azure Cloud Prefecture.
Left behind, kneeling in the darkness at the bottom of the abyss where the battlefield had been, was a skin-and-bones old man.
Banshu Weide.
This expert of the Banshu family, who had allied with the watchdog and ultimately transformed into a half-immortal in his quest to lead the Banshu family back to glory, stared with cloudy eyes at the gradually departing brothers.
In the darkness, he let out a hoarse laugh. "Ha... hahaha!"
A few years ago, when the Li brothers appeared before him during his disaster, he knew everything was over.
However, Banshu Weide actually felt a sense of relief.
In the entirety of Grandhaven Prefecture, Banshu Qingping was the ultimate victor.
Now, the descendants of the Banshu family had safely relocated to the Three Prefectures.
With Banshu Qingping around, even if the Banshu family had committed many evil deeds, no one in the Three Prefectures would dare touch their descendants. That was enough.
Even when Li Yunbing, this despicable, utterly inhumane creature, stood before him and threatened him with the lives of the Banshu descendants to force him to hand over everything, he felt absolutely no pressure.
In Li Yunbing, he seemed to see himself.
The conversation between the two Li brothers still echoed in his ears.
"Eldest Brother, what do you plan to do with the watchdog's corpse?"
"It's tainted with demonic qi and immortal qi. We have to let Third Uncle destroy it with Heavenly Fire. Yundou and the others can also try and see if it's of any use."
"I want to try..."
"Are you crazy?"
"The Demon Lord, Yundou, and the others can protect me. The Blood Moon is coming, and we must seize every single opportunity.
Inside the Blood Moon are Ba Siyu and Min Tiange. I have wanted to kill them for a long time. I am afraid that if I miss this chance, there will never be another."
"..."
"Hahahaha!"
In the abyss, the sinister, hearty laughter gradually faded away, accompanying the entirety of Grandhaven Prefecture as it fell into darkness and was swallowed by the Blood Moon.
Banshu Weide's aura gradually vanished. His skin-and-bones body exhausted its very last ounce of strength and slumped down.
"The watchdog... I am the watchdog of the Banshu family..."
"The Li Clan's Yunbing... the watchdog of the Li family."
