Li Tian Gang said in a chilly voice, “Then what surname do you wish to take?”

Upon hearing this, Li Hao was momentarily lost in thought.

Yes, if not surnamed Li, then what would his own surname be?

More crucially, in his previous life, he had also borne the surname Li.

The heart that had until now been calm suddenly felt a wave of bitterness.

In his previous life, his parents died early. He had not expected that after traversing through a rebirth, even his own surname would not be preserved.

Though he was born into a prominent family, he ended up in such a plight, truly laughable.

He took a deep breath, and the frigid, icy air filled his lungs, which oddly brought him some comfort.

He regained his composure and said, “What surname I take has nothing to do with you. In any case, I will no longer bear the Li surname. From now on, I have nothing to do with the Li Family!”

“Do you think by saying that you can sever your ties with the Li Family?”

Li Tian Gang’s gaze burned with fury as he said, “The Li Family raised you for so many years, and you just want to walk away like this?”

Li Hao looked up slightly, locking eyes with him: “Then, what do you suggest?”

“You want to leave, fine, but return everything you owe to the Li Family!” Li Tian Gang said angrily.

Li Hao said in a stern voice, “And how do you suggest I do that?”

“How do you repay us? You speak as if it’s simple. The Li Family’s cultivation techniques you’ve learned, how will you repay that?”

“The precious medicines that melted your blood for Foundation Establishment have been consumed; how will you repay that?”

“The blood flowing within you, how will you repay that?!”

Li Tian Gang demanded coldly, word by word.

Li Hao was silent for a moment before saying, “I can refrain from using the cultivation techniques. However many volumes I’ve cultivated, I will donate the same number to Listening Rain Tower.”

“The precious medicines for Foundation Establishment, I will find a way to repay you in the future. The blood essence of the Great Demon that you’ve slain, I will also repay you for that!”

“As for this body’s blood…

Li Hao looked up at him directly: “I’ve said it before, your son died a long time ago. The life I have now is my own!”

Now that he had entered the Heavenly Human Realm, cultivated his own path, and could create his own cultivation techniques, even if he didn’t use the other techniques, the impact on him would not be significant.

Li Tian Gang, overflowing with rage, laughed scornfully and said, “Very well! You’ve reached the Heavenly Human Realm and grown wings. I won’t talk about the cultivation techniques for now. A three-thousand-year-old Great Demon, how will you slay it?”

“Do you even realize what realm a three-thousand-year-old Great Demon is in? It’s at least in the middle phase of the Immortal Realm, if not the pinnacle!”

“Do you think just because you’ve entered the Heavenly Human Realm, you are guaranteed to become Immortal in the future?”

Li Tian Gang’s face showed a mocking smile: “After the Heavenly Human Realm, each step is a threshold. No matter how exceptional your talent is, it’s not a hundred percent sure you will become an unparalleled power!”

“There was once a prodigy who entered the Grandmaster Realm at the age of nineteen. A hundred years later, he just stepped into the Immortal Realm!”

“You want to delay, but I can’t wait!”

A chill flashed in Li Hao’s eyes: “Then tell me, how do you want me to repay it?”

As Li Tian Gang looked into his gaze, his heart filled with even greater fury, and said, “If you want to repay, fine! I’ll give you three years! Three years to replace every volume you’ve learned with a new one!”

“Within three years, bring me back the head of a three-thousand-year-old Great Demon!”

“With regards to the Li Family’s blood and talents within you, you better not waste them. Go to Heavenly Gate Pass, take over and guard it for the clan. I don’t expect you to hold it for long, just guard it for three years, and I’ll consider your debt paid!”

“Li Tian Gang, have you truly gone mad?!”

Li Muxiu exclaimed in shock and anger, “Do you realize what you are suggesting? Do you want to kill your own son before you’re satisfied?!”

The others also showed signs of unease; the threat seemed too harsh.

The other terms could possibly be negotiated with, but defending Heavenly Gate Pass was too difficult.

That is one of the most dangerous places defended by the Li Family!

Located deep in the Great Yu Borderlands, it sticks out like a thorn, bordered on two sides by the land of Demons, and tens of thousands of miles further, the Great Wilderness Heaven.

Moreover, nearby there’s a vassal state under Dayu, which, although it pays annual tribute to the Great Yu Dynasty and maintains a facade of loyalty, has long been conspiring with Demons to assault Heavenly Gate Pass.

However, there has been no evidence to prove such conspiracies. Even if evidence had been found in the past, the vassal state had always pushed the blame onto scapegoats.

Over the years, countless soldiers of the Li Family have died defending Heavenly Gate Pass.

Even with someone in the Four Stands Realm stationed there, it was only enough for Suppression!

The casualty rate at that location is extremely high. In the past, the third and sixth sons of the Li Family both defended that place and ended up buried in its soil!

Now, they want to send the young Li Hao there?

Even if he’s in the Heavenly Human Realm, in that place, he would merely be a handful of yellow soil!

However, they could all see that Li Tian Gang’s words were merely an attempt to force Li Hao to stay, not allowing him to leave.

Looking into the enraged face before him, Li Hao took a deep, hard look at the other and nodded, “No problem.”

Li Tian Gang’s expression changed, surprised that Li Hao actually dared to agree. He wanted to laugh out of sheer anger and said,

“Very well! Truly ignorant and fearless. Do you even know what Heavenly Gate Pass is? Three years? I really want to see if you can live for three years, and even if you do, what kind of shape you’ll be in after three years!”

He chortled coldly, continuing, “I will withdraw all of the Li Family’s forces from Heavenly Gate Pass, and I will not send a single soldier to reinforce you. You want to leave the Li Family behind? Then try to survive on your own!”

“Let’s see what difference you can make without the Li Family, without the protection of so many soldiers! Your comfort, your arrogance, all were bought with the blood of countless others. When the time comes, you will realize that your talent and abilities are worthless in the face of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!”

Upon hearing these words, Li Muxiu was fully enraged and said, “If you want to kill Hao Er, just say it directly, why go about it this way?”

“If Hao Er goes there, I will accompany him!”

“Uncle!”

Li Tian Gang’s color changed, angrily saying, “As an elder, I have tolerated you again and again. I hope you understand that this is our family’s internal affair!”
