Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Feng Boping snorted coldly and flicked his sleeve, "I can’t be bothered to argue with a junior like you. Just mind yourself. If you want to fight, this old man will accompany you, but don’t even think about hurting Hao Er again!"

"Back then, outside the Divine General Mansion, I didn’t show myself because I didn’t want to smear the Li Family’s name. Now, here, it’s no longer your turn to be rampant!"

"So, I should thank you, should I?"

Li Tian Gang sneered and said, "You, a thief who commits evil everywhere, who instructed you, who gave you benefits to meddle in the affairs of the Li Family? It was you who led Hao Er astray, wasn’t it?!"

"Haha..."

Feng Boping was so angered he laughed, saying, "Hao and I hit it off from the first meeting—you say I’m the one instigating?!"

"Isn’t it? If not for you, Hao Er would still be in the Divine General Mansion by now. When he left the city and encountered the demon attack, he would have been brought back by Li He!"

Li Tian Gang’s cold voice said, "You keep saying it’s for Hao Er, but that’s a matter between father and son. When did it become your place to intervene?"

"What standing do you have to get involved in the affairs of the Divine General Mansion? And Hao Er is also the Li Family’s next True Dragon—what are you plotting?!"

Feng Boping’s cheek twitched slightly, wanting to rage, but the words "When did it become your place to intervene" extinguished the retort that had come to his throat.

Thinking of his life wandering without roots, he couldn’t help but laugh at himself.

"No matter what you think, the infamy I carry in this life is more than just this; it’s nothing more than the chirping of noisy insects."

Feng Boping’s expression calmed down, just quietly staring at Li Tian Gang:

"But today, as long as I’m here, you won’t even think about harming Hao Er!"

"Do you really think you can compete with me?"

Li Tian Gang narrowed his eyes and said, "I’m not unreasonable. If it weren’t for the fact that you did indeed protect Hao Er, I would have arrested you and sent you to the imperial prison long ago!"

"Is that so? Then try it. That would be a great achievement, at least enough to have your peerage raised from a third-grade duke to a second-grade one."

Feng Boping’s mouth curved up slightly, saying derisively, "I’ve long wanted to experience the Li Family True Dragon’s methods!"

Hum!

All of a sudden, the Dragon Soar Sword vibrated and floated in front of Feng Boping.

The hilt faced Feng Boping, but the tip pointed towards Li Tian Gang.

Dark Li Hao, sensing the escalating power between the two, took a step to stand beside Feng Boping, coldly saying, "Trespassers will be killed without mercy!"

Li Tian Gang’s face changed instantly upon seeing the floating Divine Sword, and seeing Li Hao stand by Feng Boping in defense, his expression turned ugly, a surge of blood fury flashing in his eyes:

"Say that again?!"

Feng Boping, aware of the power Dark Li Hao was summoning, glanced again at the Divine Sword floating before him, a trace of satisfaction flashing in his eyes, but he quickly subdued it and said in a low voice:

"Hao Er, just stand guard here for me. I’ll personally find out and show him if the so-called thief can shake the Li Family’s True Dragon!"

Taking a step forward, he addressed Li Tian Gang, "Li Tian Gang, do you dare to step outside and put yourself to the test with me?"

"Hmph, a sneaky rogue thief also dares to talk to me like that."

Li Tian Gang’s eyes were fixed on him, and in the next moment, the silhouettes of the two men disappeared from the courtyard in an instant.

"Feng!"

Ren Qianqian saw Feng Boping and Li Tian Gang disappear, her face changing instantly, unable to help herself from calling out anxiously.

But the heavens and earth were silent without a trace of them, only a surging sound coming from a far distance.

Both intended to avoid Cangya City and in the blink of an eye had sped off countless miles away.

Swoosh! Dark Li Hao took a step and chased after them.

"Young Master!"

Ren Qianqian was anxious, but could only see the Dragon Soar Sword turn into a beam of golden light following Li Hao’s figure, disappearing into the sky.

...

...

Outside Liangzhou Territory, by the Dragon City Mo River.

As Li Hao’s body tore apart and vanished, he felt his consciousness being ripped to shreds as well, merging into the universe, then melting away bit by bit like accumulated snow.

The more he melted, the weaker his consciousness became.

The feeling was extremely peculiar, and terrifying, as if something was slowly eating away at him.

Darkness, coldness, dampness, silence.

All sorts of unsettling sensations closed in, and Li Hao tried to struggle, but he was like a salted fish nailed to a chopping board, utterly powerless to move.

His world became blurry, the light dim.

In his vanishing vision, Li Hao saw Li Tianzong and Li Xiaoran’s anguished roars, but it seemed they couldn’t see him; their gazes did not focus on his consciousness, but rather mourned to the vast cosmos.

Li Hao wanted to say goodbye with a smile, but he had no body left.

The darkness closed like a shut window, engulfing the last streak of light.

Li Hao felt his consciousness disintegrating, as if plummeting into an endless abyss.

My superfluous life ends here, does it?

But at least in dying, I seem to have done one last good deed, marking a fitting end.

Li Hao thought to himself, feeling a chill envelop him in the darkness, while the sound of the river’s clear flow seemed close at hand.

At the same time, a voice seemed to rise from the depths of his heart:

"Don’t you want to go home?"

It was less of a voice and more like a thought that emerged from within.

Home...

Li Hao’s thoughts drifted, floating to that grand, empty courtyard, then out from the courtyard, over countless mountains and rivers.

Floating toward Heavenly Gate Pass, to the small fenced courtyard, then down Dragon Pass Road, past blossoming flowers along the way.
