Tian Yazi's nickname was given to him by himself. His name was Huo Ya.
Huo Ya's name was also very influential. He used to be the Grand Elder of the Huo family. However, Tian Yazi kept a low profile and cultivated in seclusion for many years before falling into the Ice Fiend Lair.
Most people in the Huo Family only knew of the Cliff Ancestor, but they didn't know who Tian Yazi was.
Tian Yazi's return delighted the Huo Family, especially since Tian Yazi's strength had increased greatly. This made the Huo Family even happier.
However, Tian Yazi didn't like to keep a high profile, so the news of his return only spread within a small circle.
Tian Yazi started closed-door cultivation as soon as he came back. But before that, he told Third Patriarch to wake him up as soon as Lu Li came.
This Third Elder was Tian Yazi's descendant. Tian Yazi valued him so much, so how could he dare to look down on him?
When he learned that Lu Li was here, he came out to greet him at once.
The Huo Clan's welcoming lineup was also very grand. There were more than ten people standing behind Tian Yazi, and all of them were at the peak of the fifth tribulation. They were clearly elders of the Huo Clan, and not just ordinary elders, but elders with real power.
Lu Li flew down and bowed to Tian Yazi with respect, "Brother, greetings, lords!"
"Hahaha ~"
Tian Yazi laughed and said: "Little Lu, you call me big brother, but you call my junior lord. This seniority is a bit messy."
The elders of the Huo Family were displeased to hear Lu Li call Tian Yazi 'Big Brother'.
But after Tian Yazi spoke, nobody dared to show any dissatisfaction. They even looked at Lu Li with respect.
This Cliff Ancestor was already at the Sixth Tribulation before he disappeared. After disappearing for more than 10,000 years, his strength had improved by leaps and bounds. The few Grand Supreme Elders were somewhat respectful to him, and even the old patriarch was very polite to him. It must be known that the old patriarch was publicly recognized as the strongest person in the Huo family.
Several elders had privately asked one of the grand elders how strong Tian Yazi was right now.
The Grand Elder did not say it clearly. He only said that the only person in the clan who could contend against him was the Old Patriarch.
In other words …
Tian Yazi's combat prowess was currently ranked second in the Huo Clan. This world respected the strong, and it was the same in the clan.
Even though Lu Li was only at the peak of the third tribulation, nobody dared to belittle Lu Li given how serious Tian Yazi was.
They would be polite to Lu Li even if he were a warrior of the Second Tribulation, not to mention a warrior at the peak of the Third Tribulation.
Lu Li shook his head in embarrassment. Tian Yazi, on the other hand, took Lu Li's hand and walked inside.
A banquet had been prepared. Tian Yazi led Lu Li to the seat of honor before he introduced the powerful warriors to Lu Li.
This generation of the Huo Family Patriarch, Huo Yuan, the Huo Family Great Elder, Huo Fei, the Huo Family Second Elder, Huo Bo …
The Great Patriarchs and the Family Patriarch of the Huo Family didn't come out. The fact that the current Family Patriarch and so many patriarchs of the Huo Family were here to greet Lu Li was a great honor. Of course, to put it bluntly, they were doing Tian Yazi a favor.
Tian Yazi's aura was very vigorous. His combat strength should have recovered by more than half, but it would still take some time for his life force to recover.
The Huo Clan had top-notch divine medicine, so it was easy for them to recover. It was just a matter of time.
Tian Yazi didn't mention what happened in the Ice Den. He only mentioned that Lu Li was his friend despite the difference in age. Tian Yazi was probably too embarrassed to say that he was saved by Lu Li.
Of course, Lu Li didn't mention that, nor did he mention asking Tian Yazi for help. He just talked and laughed.
Huo Family warriors took turns to propose toasts. Lu Li was dizzy from all the drinking, but he managed to stay sober.
They drank for six hours. In the end, Tian Yazi thought Lu Li was almost sober. He asked them to leave and found two maids to help Lu Li to a manor he lived in.
Lu Li sobered up after he sat in the manor for a while and drank some tea.
Tian Yazi looked at Lu Li with a smile and said, "Things didn't go well in the Dragon Rebel Valley?"
Even though Lu Li was talking cheerfully and wittily just now, there was a trace of gloom lingering in his eyes. How could an experienced man like Tian Yazi not see it?
"I know I can't hide it from you, big brother!"
Lu Li forced a smile. He looked lonely. He sighed and said, "It's just that I am not strong enough. Otherwise, I will turn the Dragon Rebel Valley upside down."
"You are still young. What's the hurry?"
Tian Yazi waved his hand and said, "Go ahead. Now that you have come to me, I will help you as long as I can do it."
Tian Yazi's words warmed Lu Li's heart. He stood up, bowed to Tian Yazi and said, "Anyways, I will never forget your kindness."
"It's not that serious!"
Tian Yazi waved his hand to tell Lu Li to sit down. He asked, "What are the details?"
"I have a sister. I told you before!"
Lu Li told Tian Yazi in detail, including his speculation. In the end, he begged, "Big brother, I don't want anything from you. I just want you to think of a way to take me to my sister."
"Eh …"
Tian Yazi was in deep thoughts. He didn't say anything for the time for three incense sticks to burn. Lu Li didn't dare to disturb him. He just looked at Tian Yazi with anticipation.
"Your sister's soul and memory must have been sealed."
Tian Yazi said with certainty, "Based on your situation, your sister is valued by the Dragon Rebel Race. They don't want you to have anything to do with your sister."
"In other words … they don't want you to destroy your sister's mind. The Dragon Rebel Race has always been averse to outsiders. You and your sister are close. If you meet her, it may affect her cultivation. So …"
Lu Li had thought about Tian Yazi's analysis. He knew that for the Dragon Rebel Race, he was no different from an ant even though he had some abilities now.
They would not affect her cultivation for the sake of an ant. For them, the interest of the family was more important than anything else. Personal feelings could be put aside.
"Big brother, is there nothing you can do?" Lu Li asked with anticipation.
"Yes!"
Tian Yazi said, "We have spies in the Huo Family of the Dragon Rebel Race. I will send someone to get some information. If you just want to meet her, it won't be difficult, unless your sister stays at the Dragon Mountain forever.
When she comes out, we will be informed. I will take you there in person. We can talk for hours, let alone meet her … "
"Okay!"
Lu Li was a bit excited. Tian Yazi was here. Even if Lu Ling was protected by a warrior of the Sixth Tribulation, Tian Yazi could stop her easily and create a chance for Lu Li.
"But …"
Lu Li soon thought of a problem. Lu Ling had been staying at the back of the mountain all these years. What if she never came out and cultivated there for thousands of years?
Could he be waiting?
"Little Lu, don't worry!"
