Chapter 32: Seizing Opportunity, Offending the Li Family
Chapter 32 - 32: Seizing Opportunity, Offending the Li Family"It's definitely supreme swordsmanship."
Jiang Fan gripped the Chengying Sword, feeling very excited.
Previously, he had raw power but did not understand the techniques to harness it.
If he encountered a martial artist weaker than himself, perhaps he could rely on overwhelming strength and speed to crush them.
But what if he faced a martial artist far superior to him? He'd likely suffer a crushing defeat.
He might even be killed instantly.
This was currently a huge flaw for Jiang Fan.
But now it's different; he has learned the Aurora Swordsmanship, and paired with the Soaring Snake Technique's refined flesh, it's like adding wings to a tiger.
He felt his combat power had already increased several times.

"It's about time, time to head back."
Jiang Fan took a deep breath to calm his emotions, placed the Chengying Sword into the Space Ring, and then steered the Upturned Boat back toward Osmanthus Village.
Everything was peaceful along the way.
The night was tranquil.
No one noticed his departure in the dead of night.
It seemed that during this time, he avoided all unforeseen factors that might have led to discovery.
He safely returned home.
However, what Jiang Fan didn't know was that as he returned home, another warship silently appeared on Yunmeng Lake, sailing toward the uninhabited island hiding the Chengying Sword.
This warship came from the Li family in Tonghe County.
The Li family is one of the two major families controlling Tonghe County, with the Dragon King Gang as one of their forces.
The Gang Leader of the Dragon King Gang, Li Lei, is one of the elders of the Li family.
They are essentially the colossus of this region.
The owner of this warship is Li Haoran, a direct descendant of the Li family.
At just twenty-eight years old, he is a martial artist in the Refining Organ Realm, with extraordinary talent.
He is hailed as a peerless genius with the potential to become a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
"My lord."
"According to our years of re
"According to the few words left by our ancestor."
"The inheritance left by our ancestor is likely hidden on an island in Yunmeng Lake."
"Unfortunately, there are simply too many islands in Yunmeng Lake."
"Previously, we constantly sent people to search, but regretfully found nothing."
The Li family steward shook his head.
If it was really so easy to find, the Li family wouldn't have been searching in Yunmeng Lake for such a long time.
"Oh, why do I feel that uninhabited island seems a bit strange? Let's go check it out."
At this moment, Li Haoran seemed to have noticed something and immediately ordered his men to sail toward that distant island. Soon, the warship reached the vicinity of the island.
The island was already a complete mess, with churned-up soil dug out, leaving behind piles of wood debris.
The surrounding stones bore numerous sword marks, sliced open.
"These sword marks that slice through iron like mud could only be made by a divine blade."
"Could it be caused by the Chengying Sword?"
"Damn it, has someone beat us to it?"
"Obtained the Chengying Sword and Aurora Sword Manual before us?"
The Li family steward's face changed drastically.
He never imagined that they would truly find the treasure left by Li Chengying tonight.
But someone has gotten ahead of them.
To tell the truth, he couldn't imagine how furious the elders of the Li family would be if they knew of this.
The inheritance searched for with great effort over the years was seized by someone—this kind of thing is simply intolerable.
"Damn thief, who the hell are you?"
"How dare you steal my Li family's treasure?!"
"If I find you, I'll tear you apart."
Li Haoran was utterly furious.
He felt as if he had lost something very important, as if his fate had been stolen.
Without the inheritance left by ancestor Li Chengying, his chances of becoming a Martial Arts Grandmaster would be exceedingly difficult.
In some sense, that thief has ruined his martial path.
His inner rage was imaginable, as he wished he could rip that thief apart.
The problem is, he doesn't even know who took the inheritance now.
After all, Yunmeng Lake is far too vast.
People come and go here.
Not only local fishermen but also many visitors from outside.
If the thief took the inheritance and fled, hundreds of miles away.
Then, even with the Li family's power, they would be helpless.
After all, the world is vast, where else couldn't they go?
