### Chapter 132: Returning to the Li Realm After Ten Years

In the vast, empty sea, strong winds howled, stirring up monstrous waves.

Dark clouds hung low, accompanied by fierce winds and sudden downpours.

This was a medium-scale wind disaster.

From an aerial perspective, Li Fan clearly saw that this wind disaster was slowly moving in a certain direction.

Meanwhile, Zhang Haobo followed the wind disaster unhurriedly.

From time to time, he unleashed streaks of blue light, like a diligent gardener, trimming the direction of the wind disaster's advance.

Although the energy contained within this storm far exceeded that of Zhang Haobo, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he controlled the wind disaster as if a child herding livestock, guiding it towards his intended direction.

Li Fan vaguely perceived that another wind disaster was brewing in the distance.

“Interesting,” Li Fan thought, patiently observing what would happen next.

Thus, after more than ten days, two gigantic storms, manipulated by Zhang Haobo, collided.

Instantly, a flicker of green light erupted in his eyes, and the colossal blue sword formed by 108 Sea-Stabilizing Swords emerged once more, spanning between the sky and the sea.

Compared to what Li Fan had seen before, the blue radiance on this giant sword was even deeper.

The blue light bloomed, like dancing scissors, rapidly reshaping the two colliding storms.

Slowly, the two wind disasters merged as they collided.

Finally, they became one.

A brand new wind disaster was born.

Although this newly formed wind disaster was somewhat less powerful than the combined might of the previous two, due to a loss of some energy,

it was still more potent than either one individually.

Zhang Haobo gazed at the newly formed storm before him, which resembled a work of art, a satisfied expression on his face.

He looked into the distance, selected a direction, and once again herded the wind disaster, setting off.

Li Fan noticed that by merging these two wind disasters, Zhang Haobo's cultivation had also slightly improved.

He was herding the wind, and also cultivating through it.

“It seems he’s aiming for something big,” Li Fan vaguely guessed Zhang Haobo’s intention.

Currently, the deadline for the Crimson Flame Incinerating Sea was drawing nearer.

Yet Zhang Haobo was still in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Without a cultivation method for the Core Formation stage, he couldn't advance.

He was a person of little influence and no connections, so trying to meet with the higher-ups of Ten Thousand Immortals Island to warn them about the impending Crimson Flame was incredibly difficult.

What to do?

He could only create a grand spectacle to attract sufficient attention.

Li Fan couldn't help but anticipate the unfolding events.

However, Zhang Haobo's current storm intensity was clearly not enough to attract the attention of a Soul Transformation cultivator.

He needed to let it brew for a while longer.

Li Fan temporarily withdrew his attention.

“The ten-year period is up; it’s time to visit the Li Realm again.”

He immediately made some preparations and set off.

Arriving once more at the ruins near the entrance to the Li Realm, Li Fan didn't rush into the ancient well. Instead, he meticulously observed the ruins.

Massive stones, clearly bearing signs of artificial grinding, lay scattered across the seabed.

One could vaguely discern that this place was originally a palace-like structure.

Besides the exposed parts, many architectural remains were covered by the seabed's silt.

The entire ruin stretched for several miles, suggesting it was once a small town.

“An ancient civilization, then…” Li Fan mused, lost in thought.

He then summoned his Taiyan Boat, broke through the Immortal Severing Array, and entered the Li Realm.

Li Fan watched the volcano in the center of the Li Realm from afar.

Compared to ten years ago, this volcano seemed to have become somewhat more active.

Flying into it, Li Fan conducted an investigation.

It appeared to be merely a volcano formed by geological activity, with no trace of extraordinary power.

However, Li Fan always had a subtle feeling.

It seemed that something else was hidden behind the formation of this volcano.

However, with his current strength, he was still unable to investigate it.

Without dwelling on it, Li Fan committed it to memory and then flew towards the capital city of Dali.

He concealed his presence, not disturbing the Immortal Observers in the four watchtowers of the capital.

Li Fan sensed the trace of Azure Flame Illusory Spirit power he had left within Su Xiaomei's body and approached stealthily.

On the martial arts training plaza, dozens of exotic beasts forged from refined steel were displayed.

A petite figure continuously weaved among these exotic beasts.

Her speed was incredibly fast, leaving streaks of afterimages in the air.

Bare-handed, she continuously struck the refined steel beasts, producing loud 'thump thump thump' sounds.

Beside the training ground, Su Changyu and Xiao Heng stood by and watched.

A faint smile was on Su Changyu's face.

Xiao Heng, on the other hand, was sighing, looking terrified.

He whispered to Su Changyu, “Changyu, how can you still smile? Haven't you noticed how terrifying Xiaomei has become?”

Pointing at the indentations punched into the refined steel beasts, Xiao Heng gasped, “Look at her strength! If she accidentally slaps me, I might just be flattened!”

“I don’t think these steel beasts will last much longer either!”

Su Changyu first frowned upon hearing this, then relaxed, saying, “You and I both know Xiaomei’s special constitution. She has natural divine strength and a volatile temper. For the past few years, it was still manageable, as the method left by the immortal master allowed her to barely control her emotions.”

“But now the immortal master’s method is gradually losing its effect, and Xiaomei’s self-control is getting worse.”

“If she didn’t vent like this every day, who knows how many people she might accidentally kill.”

“However, Xiaomei is Xiaomei after all. Although she’s a bit indifferent to other family members, she’s quite good to you. I don’t know what you’re so afraid of.”

Xiao Heng immediately became anxious: “You call this ‘quite good’? You know perfectly well…”

Before he could finish, a thunderous shout suddenly rang out from the center of the training ground: “Xiao Heng, what bad things are you saying about me again!”

Before her voice faded, she flickered into existence, appearing abruptly before Xiao Heng in a swift, agile motion.

She brought with her a gust of wind that made Xiao Heng’s hair flutter.

His eyelids twitched, and he quickly exclaimed, “My dear little aunt, how could I dare speak ill of you? Wasn’t I just praising your great strength!”

Su Xiaomei glanced at Xiao Heng suspiciously, gave a soft hmph, and didn't pursue the matter further.

“Brother!” She looked at Su Changyu nearby, a smile appearing on her face.

Su Changyu looked at Su Xiaomei with affection, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

“It seems you’re doing quite well.”

Just then, a cold voice suddenly sounded beside the three of them.

Seeing the figure that suddenly appeared, Su Changyu and Xiao Heng’s expressions changed. Then, something immediately dawned on them, and their faces showed both surprise and delight.

Just as they were about to speak, they heard Su Xiaomei shout furiously: “Who are you, daring to play tricks in front of me!”

As she spoke, she brandished her fists and lunged at Li Fan.

“Xiaomei, stop!” Su Changyu and Xiao Heng couldn't help but exclaim.

Before their voices faded, they saw Su Xiaomei, who could smash even refined steel, now seemingly bound by an invisible net.

She was suspended in mid-air, unable to move.
