Heaven's Gate Pass, Azure Cliff City.

The Magic Array on the city wall has been completed, and squads of the Blood Fiend Army and volunteer Warrior are patrolling the city walls to check for the movements of Demon.

Li Hongzhuang, clad in bright red Battle Armor, climbed to the top of the city wall. She gazed at the horizon Outside the Pass the pass, her brows furrowed.

"It's been two days, why hasn't the child come back yet..."

She was worried.

Although the three Demon Kings were wanted by the Demon Suppression Division, they had most likely escaped their lair, but it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn't be lurking nearby and run into Li Hao.

They were sworn enemies, and the area Outside the Pass was the territory of Demon, extremely dangerous.

"Li Ye."

After pondering for a long time, Li Hongzhuang suddenly spoke up and summoned her deputy general.

She planned to send out an elite force to investigate the lair of the three Demon Kings.

Upon hearing this, a middle-aged deputy general walked towards her, but suddenly, a series of exclamations came from afar.

As if by reflex, the deputy general and Li Hongzhuang tensed up and looked toward the source of the exclamation. Then, following the gaze of the soldiers there, they looked toward the Outside the Pass side of the pass.

A black dot appeared on the azure horizon, gradually expanding like a floating hill flying in.

"Demon attack?"

Li Hongzhuang's expression changed slightly. She took a few steps forward, placed her palm on the brick wall of the city wall, and stared intently.

When her vision narrowed and she could clearly see the shape of the dark figure, her solemn expression froze.

"Hao, Hao'er?"

Whoosh!

Li Hao rushed towards the pass, with numerous Demon corpses entangled and dragged by Fishing Line behind him, swaying like kites at his feet, pulling the Fishing Line taut.

Upon seeing the city walls inside the pass, Li Hao felt a long-lost feeling and accelerated his flight.

As Li Hao entered the pass, the soldiers on the city wall also saw this horrifying scene. In their shock, they couldn't help but burst into exclamations.

"It's Young General Haotian!"

"These... these are all Demon that the Young General has slain?"

"My god, these Demons are all at the Three Immortalities Realm, and there are so many of them!"

The Blood Fiend Army soldiers were relatively restrained, but the Warrior who came to reinforce them were constantly exclaiming in alarm.

Great Demon at the Three Immortalities Realm are rarely seen on ordinary days. They are powerful beings who can control a territory spanning hundreds or even thousands of miles, making them extremely rare.

At this moment, they were like a net full of Catch, Angling in mid-air by Li Hao, and all of them perished.

With Li Hao's return, the whole city received the news. Hearing that Li Hao had killed many Great Demons, everyone excitedly rushed over.

Li Hao returned to the city and placed the Demon corpses on the open ground where the Black Bird Demon King had been piled up. When he saw Li Hongzhuang, Li Hao smiled and said to her:

"Keep an eye on things for me. I'll prepare some extra food for everyone when I have time."

"..."

Li Hongzhuang was stunned for a moment, then asked in astonishment, "You hunted all of these? You, how far did you go?"

"It wasn't far, I just wandered around outside."

Li Hao said casually.

Li Hongzhuang looked at him suspiciously. How could they encounter so Great Demon so far away?

She suspected that Li Hao had gone not only to the lair of the three-headed Demon King a thousand miles away, but to a place even further away.

"Have you been to the lair of the three-headed Demon King? Is it empty now?" she asked.

Li Hao nodded. "They've all run away."

Li Hongzhuang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that you ran away. I'm glad you're alright. With your Heavenly Talent, why take risks now? After ten years of hard training, you'll most likely reach the Four Establishments Realm. It's not too late to go on your adventure then."

She had complete confidence in Li Hao.

Ten years later, when Li Hao entered the Four Establishments Realm, he was only 24 years old and was still far ahead, breaking the record.

After all, most people would be overjoyed to reach the Three Immortalities Realm by the age of 24, and would be considered top geniuses.

She only recently learned that Li Hao's father, her Seventh Brother, was also extremely Heavenly Talent, having reached the Three Immortalities Realm at the age of 23. It was clear how amazing it would be if he could reach the Four Establishments Realm at the age of 24!

Upon hearing her words, Li Hao couldn't help but give her a strange look.

Is this aunt Curse herself?

It took ten years to reach the Four Establishments Realm, what a vicious Curse...

"I'm a little tired, I'm going to rest now."

Li Hao said.

When Li Hongzhuang realized what was happening and saw Li Hao's tattered clothes, her expression changed, and she asked, "Are you badly injured?"

"It's a bit heavy."

Li Hao said, "I need to get a good two days of sleep."

"..."

After bidding farewell to Li Hongzhuang, Li Hao returned to the Hedge-Enclosed Courtyard. Upon seeing Ren Qianqian coming to greet him, he immediately noticed that her Aura had changed, and she exuded a sense of inner divine Divine Radiance.

"You've entered the Spirit Wandering Realm?"

Li Hao smiled.

Ren Qianqian is a year younger than him, only thirteen years old, and has already entered the Spirit Wandering Realm. Her cultivation progress is quite good.

The vast majority of those with Prodigy Heavenly Talent the Ninth Grade Battle Body, even after joining a major power, only Spirit Roaming at the age of fourteen and the Fifteen Li.

After that, it depends on Heavenly Talent. Those with high comprehension can enter the Heaven and Man Realm at the age of eighteen or nineteen and still maintain an unstoppable speed of breakthroughs, making them true Heavenly Prodigy.

Those with poor comprehension might not be able to enter this field until they are in their twenties or thirties, while those with even worse comprehension might not be able to until they are in their forties or fifties.

"Young Master, are you alright?"

Ren Qianqian gasped softly, her eyes filled with heartache and anxiety as she looked at Li Hao's tattered clothes.

Li Hao smiled, handed her the sword, and said, "It was just a minor injury, it's already healed. Just find me a new set of clothes."

Ren Qianqian took the Dragon Sky Sword, listened to Li Hao's words, and looked at Li Hao's exposed body. Seeing no wounds, she felt slightly relieved and said:

"I'll go find it for you right away."

He then grabbed the sword and ran back to his room in the Small Courtyard.

Li Hao went to the Tea Room in the courtyard, picked up the teapot, shook it, and seeing that there was water inside, he drank directly from the spout.

After two days of fierce fighting, we were quite thirsty.

Not long after, Ren Qianqian ran over carrying the new clothes, which Li Hao took and then went to the Bathing Room.

After washing and cleaning my hair, removing all the bloodstains, and changing into new clothes, I felt refreshed and clean once again.

The Little White Fox stood guard outside the door. Li Hao bent down, picked it up, and ruffled its fluffy head. He then went to the Tea Room, brewed a pot of hot tea, and said with a smile:

"Old Feng, want some?"

"I won't go; there are too many people and too much attention in the city now."

The sound of the Old Feng drifted into my ears.

Li Hao's smile faded slightly, but after a brief silence, he picked up the teapot and tea table, letting Ren Qianqian and Xiaobai do their own things in the courtyard. Then Sky Traversal flew out and arrived at a Mountain Peak not far from the city.

"There's no one here now."

Li Hao set up the tea table, personally brewed the tea, and gestured for the tea to be served.

"You bastard."

Feng Boping's figure appeared, drifting by like a Qing Feng, and landed on the opposite side of the tea table.

"Old man, I don't need your tea." Feng Boping said, but still picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, his face full of smiles and satisfaction.

"But I lack it."

Li Hao said.

He then poured himself a full cup and sat on the Mountain Summit. The cold wind rushed towards him, but it was automatically blocked by his Supreme Body, and the teapot was not affected at all. In addition, his True Power enveloped the teapot, making the tea not easy to cool down.

Spring is almost here.

Feng Boping gazed at the Heaven and Earth before him, let out a soft sigh, and breathed a warm sigh of relief.

Li Hao nodded.

With the battle over, the two were finally able to relax and shared a drink, enjoying a peaceful and comfortable time together.

Once the teapot was empty, Li Hao got up, said goodbye to Old Feng, and returned to the Hedge-Enclosed Courtyard.

Ren Qianqian practiced her sword for a while, and when she saw Li Hao return, she quickly ran over and asked, "Young Master, did you go to a far place these past two days?"

"It's not far, just a few thousand miles," Li Hao said with a smile, holding the Little White Fox that had jumped into his arms. He noticed that the dark red in its eyes was gradually fading, and it seemed to be in slightly better spirits than before.

Ren Qianqian clicked her tongue slightly, then said with a bitter expression, "Young Master, you've already climbed to the Mountain Summit. When will I be able to catch up with you?"

Although her current cultivation speed is considered fast, it is still far behind Li Hao's. She worries that she will only participate less in Li Hao's actions in the future, and they will drift further and further apart.

No need to chase.

Li Hao smiled and said, "I will come down the mountain to see you."

Ren Qianqian was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but look at Li Hao, her eyes flashing.

Shortly after Li Hao's return, a large number of Warrior came to the Hedge-Enclosed Courtyard, making a lot of noise. After inquiring, Li Hao learned that they wanted to serve in the army.

However, they did not want to join Li Hongzhuang's Blood Fiend Army; instead, they wanted to join Li Hao's forces.

Li Hao did not resist this. Since the emperor had appointed him as a general, he also had the right to recruit troops, albeit on a limited scale.

However, it was more than enough to accommodate these reinforcements of Warrior.

After all, only one or two thousand Warrior are willing to stay, and of those, only seven or eight hundred are willing to come and serve.

Li Hao immediately pulled up a small stool and set up Hedge-Enclosed Courtyard. He had Ren Qianqian register the people, while he had each person come forward to demonstrate their talents, assigning them different positions based on their cultivation level and other skills.

Some are suited for reconnaissance, some for frontline assault, and some for joining the cooking squad as his assistants.

The days passed in this leisurely atmosphere filled with laughter and joy.
