Li Yanjing read the contents of the urgent intelligence sent from Chu Province, and his expression suddenly turned utterly grave.
He rose abruptly and hurried toward the Grand Elder's courtyard with the report in hand.
Half an hour later.
In the clan head's study.
"Clan Head, the phenomenon in Chu Province is no trivial matter. It may herald a tremendous opportunity. How should our Li Family respond?"
Li Xuantong spoke in a low voice.
After hearing Li Yanjing's report, he realized this was no longer something he could decide himself, so he immediately came to seek instructions from the clan head, Li Xinge.
Li Xinge sat behind his desk. At those words, he tapped his fingers lightly against its surface.
He looked at Li Xuantong. "Grand Elder, tell me what you think first."
Rather than answering directly, Li Xinge tossed the question back to Li Xuantong.
Li Xuantong paused at his words.
After a brief moment of thought.

Li Xinge nodded.
"It's just..."
Li Xuantong hesitated.
He voiced his concern. "It's just that this opportunity lies within Chu Province, which makes things rather difficult."
"Chu Province is the territory of the Cui, Qu, and Lin Divine Mansion Immortal Clans. If we rashly reach in to seize this opportunity, we may cause all three lineages to unite against us. Things would become difficult then."
"Your concerns are not unfounded, Grand Elder."
Li Xinge nodded.
"However..."
Li Xinge shifted his tone and sneered. "Who said our Li Family would be the only one competing with them?"
"Clan Head, you mean..."
Li Xuantong's eyes lit up.
