Chapter 683: Chapter 683: Those who provoke the Li Family shall not leave alive!【Second update】 Chapter 683: Chapter 683: Those who provoke the Li Family shall not leave alive!【Second update】 “`
The news that a treasure had been gestated within the spirit of plants and trees spread throughout the entire Cultivation World like a hurricane.
Everyone knew that Li Xiaoyao, who had been missing for fifty days, had returned, and not only that, he had also rescued the equally missing Li Chengfeng.
And the treasure had been seized by Li Xiaoyao.
The Li Family of Xuan Country, at this mont, was at the center of the storm, with Cultivators from all over the world secretly planning.
The Cultivation forces of Xuan Country had a natural geographical advantage, so naturally, they were the first to take action.
Yet Li Xiaoyao, the initiator of this turmoil, was still unaware of these matters.
Taihang Mountains, Qingyang City.
...
An inexplicable, eerie atmosphere seed to perate the Li Family, with the events that occurred within the Secret Realm already relayed back.
Li Chengfeng had gone missing, Li Xiaoyao had offended Ling Tian and then disappeared; the two Elders, Li Yunchen and Li Tinghai, were captured in succession, just like Li Chaotian of the Ancient Li Family.
A succession of negative news plunged the Li Family into an unprecedented slump.
Now, the strongest in terms of cultivation level within the Li Family was only Li Pingshuang, at the pinnacle of the Spirit Condensation Realm.
Li Pingshuang, who had been guarding the Human Realm, rushed back nonstop upon hearing the news.
As for the Offering Elders of the Li Family, they showed no intention of intervening. Li Pingshuang was both angry and irritated by this, but there was nothing he could do.
These Offerings had a mutually beneficial relationship with the Li Family, how could they possibly stand up for a clan that had fallen into misfortune?
But not standing up was one thing; to kick the clan while it was down was another, and that seed a bit too much.
In the Council Hall, Li Pingshuang sat in the chief seat, his expression grave, and said, “Starting today, I will take charge of the Li Family. Everyone must report to before undertaking any actions, and only proceed with my permission.”
Li Pingshuang could only do so, as the declining Li Family could afford no further mistakes.
But just because he thought so didn’t an others did.
Xie Nan and a group of Elders imdiately opposed, “Since the Clan Leader is no longer present, the position of the next Clan Leader should be announced. Although the Ancestral Elder holds a high position and has great authority, seizing the position of the Clan Leader is sowhat unjustified.”
Li Yiming snorted and slapped the table, “In the absence of the Clan Leader, the Ancestral Elder naturally holds the highest authority in the family. The words of the Ancestral Elder are equivalent to those of the Clan Leader, so if anyone has objections, keep them to yourself.”
Li Pingshuang raised his hand to signal Li Yiming to remain calm.
He looked at the people below, his gaze settling on the faces of Li Pengcheng and Xie Nan, and said, “Our Li Family is not what it used to be. Put away all the scheming. As for the position of the Clan Leader, when the ti cos, I will step down, but for now, the priority is to ensure the safety of the Li Family. I know your petty thoughts better than anyone else. I’m going to say this one more ti: if anyone leaves the Li Family without reporting to , they will be dealt with according to the house rules. Is that understood?”
His last sentence rose sharply in volu, like a thunderclap in the Council Hall, startling everyone present.
Especially Xie Nan, who felt uneasy under Li Pingshuang’s intense gaze, shivering slightly and bowing her head in resentnt.
“Humph, as mbers of the Li Family, only caring about your own interests—do you not have brains? Without the Li Family, what use is the title of Clan Leader? A bunch of incompetents holding positions they don’t deserve!” Li Pingshuang waved his sleeve fiercely and stood up to leave.
Li Yiming soon stood as well, casting an indignant glance at the gathered people before following out.
After the two departed, the quiet Council Hall began to buzz with discussions.
“The Ancestral Elder is being too excessive, speaking to us in such a manner!”
“How have we not considered the family’s interests? In his mouth, we have turned into vampires. Humph, it’s simply bullying too much!”
After leaving the Council Hall, Li Yiming said, “Uncle, there’s been an incident with the Offerings.”
“What now? What have those guys been up to?” Li Pingshuang asked with a frown.
“`
Li Yiming said with a bitter smile, “They want a share of the Li Family, otherwise they’re unwilling to help.”
“A share of the Li Family?” Li Pingshuang chuckled coldly twice and said, “Their appetite is indeed large. I offer it to them, but would they dare to take it?”
“A bunch of ants that don’t know the height of the sky or the depth of the earth!”
“Don’t bother with them. If sothing really happens, a few Golden Core Realm offerings won’t be much help. On the contrary, they might create obstacles.”
Li Yiming nodded, sighed, and looked at the sowhat gloomy sky, inevitably feeling disheartened.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”
A series of breaking sounds suddenly ca from the distant sky.
The two of them looked in the direction of the noise and saw more than a dozen figures coming towards them rapidly from the far sky.
On a huge Ancient Sword, about thirteen people stood, their figures swiftly enlarging, with the Li Family being their target.
Li Pingshuang stared at the sky, squinting his eyes, and said, “Those who co are no good!”
Before his words fell, the Ancient Sword had already arrived above the Li Family.
“The Rakshasa Sect is here, where is Li Xiaoyao? Co out and et your death imdiately!” The man standing at the tip of the sword was none other than Elder Huang Yi of the Rakshasa Sect.
Huang Yi’s voice shook the heavens and the earth, drawing out all the mbers of the Li Family.
The clan mbers looked at the more than a dozen people on the Ancient Sword, and were surprised and abuzz with discussion.
“The Rakshasa Sect? What sect is that? I’ve never heard of it before.”
“You’re ignorant, then. To not even have heard of the Rakshasa Sect.”
“That’s an Ancient Sect.”
“An Ancient Sect? Damn, are you serious? An Ancient Sect coming to our Xuan Country Li Family? Are they here to drink?”
“Drink? Are you out of your mind? Didn’t you hear what the old man said? He’s here to kill Li Xiaoyao.”
“Kill Li Xiaoyao? Ill-intentioned visitors indeed!”
Li Pengcheng, standing beside Xie Nan, frowned and asked, “Didn’t Li Xiaoyao die?”
Xie Nan shook his head and said, “Perhaps he caused trouble before he died. He was a restless fellow, causing so much trouble even in death, and in the end, it’s still our Li Family that has to clean up his ss.”
Li Pingshuang and the other looked up at the sky, their faces sullen and ugly.
“This is the land of our Li Family. Your sudden visit really lacks respect for the Li Family!” Li Pingshuang stepped forward, releasing an imposing aura from his body. The peak Spirit Condensation Realm presence instantly raised his morale.
“Respect? The weak are also worthy of talking about respect? How laughable!” Huang Yi’s tone was arrogant. The Ancient Sword slowly descended, and his gaze swept over Li Pingshuang’s face with so surprise, “Eh, at the peak of the Spirit Condensation Realm. I thought all the cultivators of the Li Family had died. I didn’t expect there to be fish that slipped through the net.”
Each of Huang Yi’s words was filled with insult, enraging Li Pingshuang, who scolded, “Leave imdiately, and we can let bygones be bygones!”
“Let bygones be bygones?” Huang Yi looked at him with a strange expression, chuckled, and said, “It seems you still don’t understand the situation at hand.”
Huang Yi spoke word by word, “Your Li Family, in front of our Rakshasa Sect, is nothing. Now, imdiately, hand over Li Xiaoyao, and perhaps I can spare the lives of your Li Family Clan.”
Just at that mont, from the distant sky, a piercingly cold voice that made people tremble in their hearts slowly rose.
“Today, those who challenge the Li Family shall find death and not life!”
