Chapter 74:
Li Family's residence…
The first elder Li Daoshi looked at the sorry-state Li Sheng in front of him, flames were spitting out from his eyes.
"What exactly is going on? Li Sheng had only gone to the Xiao Family to put on a show. Why is his cultivation crippled!"
Could it be that the Xiao family broke the rules and that their family head or elder had attacked?
"Does the Xiao Family want to declare war on my Li family? Wait for it!" Li Daoshi gritted his teeth.
The attendant who was kneeling beside him trembled and said in a low voice, “First Elder, Young Master Sheng's cultivation wasn’t crippled by the Xiao family…"
"Not the Xiao Family?"
"Who did it? Was it the Liu family? Or was it the Feng family?"
"I don't dare speak…" The deacon trembled.
Li Daoshi picked him up with a bone piercingly cold voice. "If you don't say anything, I'll kill you right now!"
The deacon swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice, "It's Young Master Li Ran, he personally crippled Young Master Sheng's cultivation…"
"Li Ran?"
Li Daoshi froze.
He didn't expect this answer.
"Tell me exactly what happened!" Li Daoshi said coldly.
The deacon swallowed his saliva and explained everything he saw.
The more Li Daoshi heard this, the colder his eyes became. In the end, he stepped on the ground and cracked!
"He actually crippled my son's cultivation for that slut from the Xiao Family! He was simply going too far!"
"This enmity is irreconcilable! Li Ran, I will definitely make you pay the price!"
Li Daoshi's eyes were red, and his roar echoed out from within the room.
—
Xiao Manor…
A smile blossomed on Xiao Nian's face.
Ever since the Xiao family’s ancestor had passed away, he had never been so happy.
Xiao Qingge's cultivation had recovered.
The Spirit Fruit was indeed worthy of being known as an immortal material. Not only did it allow her to regain her transcendent talent, but her lost cultivation was also restored.
The Foundation Establishment Realm was only one step away from the Golden Core Realm.
"Nephew, hurry up and try this tea. This is my treasured immortal tea, and I've never been willing to drink it." Xiao Nian smiled.
Li Ran nodded and took a sip.
"Good tea."
"Good taste, nephew!"
Xiao Qingge smiled and said, "Father, you’re flattering too much."
"What do you mean by flattering? Nephew Li helped you recover your cultivation. He is a great benefactor of my Xiao family, so I naturally should treat him with courtesy."
The more Xiao Nian looked at Li Ran, the more he found Li Ran to be pleasing to the eye.
He was handsome and had great talent. He was also good to Xiao Qingge.
The only thing that was controversial was his devil sect background.
However, the cultivation world had always relied on strength.
If you came from a third-rate sect, even if you were the embodiment of justice, no one would take you seriously.
However, if one were to hail from a top sect, even if he was a demon who killed everyone like plundering grass, everyone would only revere it.
This was the reality.
Moreover, the Youluo Temple was different from the other devil sects. It did not have much of a bad reputation.
Xiao Nian looked at the two of them and rolled his eyes. He said, "This old man still has something to take care of. You two can chat slowly."
After saying that, he got up and left, leaving space for them.
The atmosphere calmed down, and a trace of a gentle and indistinct ripple rippled out.
Xiao Qingge said softly, "Li Ran, you haven't come for a long time. I thought that something happened to you in the secret realm, and you've been on edge all these days…"
Li Ran nodded. “There was indeed a small incident. It took me a few days.“
He briefly explained what happened after she left.
This included killing Song Qingsong, obtaining a Heavenly Flame, and being plotted against by the world laws.
When Xiao Qingge heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She covered her mouth and cried out in shock.
Especially the part where she heard that the secret realm had collapsed and almost buried him. She even carefully examined his body.
"Where are you injured? Is it serious?"
"It's nothing. It's just a meridian blockage. It's already healed," Li Ran replied.
"That's good." Xiao Qingge heaved a sigh of relief, but then she asked in confusion, "Then who took care of you during the past few days when you lost all of your cultivation?"
"This…" Yue Jianli's cold and proud face appeared in Li Ran's mind.
During that period of time, she took care of him in every way. She awkwardly concocted medicine, fed him food, and even fed him medicine with her mouth…
If Xiao Qingge found out about this…
Li Ran shuddered.
"Her name is Auntie Sun. She is a kind-hearted villager," he answered seriously..
"Oh." Xiao Qingge nodded.
She felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't find what’s wrong.
"Li Ran, will you be punished if you cripple Li Sheng's cultivation?" Xiao Qingge asked worriedly.
"I'm Sheng Zi of Youluo Temple. My father is the Li Clan's Patriarch. Who dares to punish me?" Li Ran laughed coldly.
However, even though his words were like this, his eyes turned cold.
He clearly understood,
Li Daoshi definitely wouldn't let this go!
—
The Li Family Council.
The top seat was occupied by the Patriarch Li Daoyuan, followed by Li Daoshi. All of the elders were seated in order.
The atmosphere was cold and ghastly!
They had just found out what had happened. This matter shocked everyone.
The Grand Elder was the first to make a move. He slammed the table. “Li Daoyuan, you raised a good son! Your son dared to cripple Sheng'er like this?"
The Fourth Elder replied, "Sheng'er is at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm. He is also an inner sect disciple, and his future is limitless! This is a great loss to the Li family!"
The Sixth Elder also agreed, "Matters of attempting to kill one’s fellow family members is a great taboo! I know that Li Ran had become a Sheng Zi, so I felt a little flustered!"
Both of them were from the same lineage as the Grand Elder, so they stood out to assist him at this opportunity.
Li Daoyuan frowned.
The Grand Elder had always been unwilling to accept him and had always opposed him.
This time, if the other party were to have leverage over him, he would have to bite himself!
"Strange, how could Ran'er be so rash…" He was confused.
Li Sheng wasn't a good person. Even if he wanted to kill, he should just kill. However, to cripple Li Sheng’s cultivation in public was a huge taboo.
"Li Daoyuan, you must give me an explanation today. My son needs an explanation!" the Grand Elder said angrily.
Li Daoyuan sighed. "Then what do you want?"
The Grand Elder snorted coldly. "Such atrocity should naturally be handled according to the family rules! Li Ran had crippled my son's cultivation. According to the clan's rules, he has to similarly cripple himself!"
Everyone present was stunned.
Li Ran was a dazzling genius with a saint-grade talent. He was the pride of the entire Li family!
Cripple his cultivation? What a joke!
"Impossible." Li Daoyuan frowned. "Even if I agree, the one from the Youluo Temple would not agree."
The Grand Elder seemed to have expected this response. "Since that's the case, let's ask the ancestor to come out from seclusion and let him help me uphold justice!"
Hiss!
Everyone present gasped.
Ask the ancestor to come out from seclusion?
So this was what the Grand Elder had in mind!
