A Deadbeat Son-You've Ruined the Entire Li Clan

Refining complete!

Congratulations, you have obtained one portion of yellow Destiny Nirvana Liquid.

Congratulations, you have achieved an accomplishment and obtained one yellow Destiny Treasure Chest.

Phew, it really was that simple.

Chen Chi let out a breath of stale air.

Meanwhile, Li Yunyou had already taken out a Sound Transmission Talisman and immediately infused it with Spiritual Energy.

"Brother Li?"

A clear, resounding male voice came from the Sound Transmission Talisman.

"Yes, Brother Gu, it's me. I have a matter I'd like to ask you to help me with," Li Yunyou said hurriedly.

"Brother Li, you're being too polite. Go ahead and tell me. I may not have much else, but I do have some connections."

"Phew, I knew Brother Gu was loyal."

"It's like this—doesn't your sister know disciples of the Emperor Clan? Could you ask her to do your little brother a favor?"

Silence. The silence of death.

"Where did this little nobody come from? Do I know you? Get lost."

At once, the other party decisively cut off contact.

I...

Li Yunyou's entire body stiffened as a chill wind swept over him.

Watching this unfold, everyone only found it laughable.

Now you fucking know fear? Where did all that arrogance from earlier go?

Phew.

Before long, Li Yunyou took another deep breath and pulled out another Sound Transmission Talisman.

"Brother Zhao, it's me, Li Yunyou."

"Hahaha, of course I know it's Brother Li. Is there something you need?"

"I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"Why be so formal between us? There's no need for the word 'ask.' Tell me, what do you need help with?"

"I heard you mention that you know someone in a Hidden Force. Could you help me ask them for a favor?"

"No, what do you mean? Did you offend a Hidden Force?"

"Perhaps, so I'd like to ask—"

"Are you sick? You offended a Hidden Force, and you fucking came to me? Fuck!!!"

Li Yunyou tightly clenched the Sound Transmission Talisman whose connection had already been severed. Fine beads of sweat covered his forehead.

Stop looking, brother. This demon doesn't care about favors at all.

Take my advice—go down fighting, like fish dead and the net torn. That way, you might still have a sliver of hope.

Watching Li Yunyou's actions, everyone could not help but sigh.

Right, I'll go find my father. Maybe he has a way.

With that thought, Li Yunyou hurriedly took another Sound Transmission Talisman from his chest.

This was his last hope.

After taking a deep breath, Li Yunyou finally infused it with Spiritual Energy.

"Xiao You?"

"Father, I made a terrible mistake."

Li Yunyou cried out anxiously, his voice trembling.

"Don't panic. Everyone makes mistakes. Your father will back you up no matter what."

Li Qingcang said with a faint smile, clearly brimming with confidence.

"I offended a force that possesses an Imperial Weapon," Li Yunyou said, drawing a deep breath.

At once, a series of explosive crashes came from the other end. Tables, chairs, and half the main hall were smashed into dust that filled the sky.

"You deadbeat son, you've fucking ruined the entire Li Clan, do you know that? Fuck!!!"

Li Qingcang instantly became like an enraged lion, roaring hysterically into the Sound Transmission Talisman.

"I..." Li Yunyou trembled all over, his face as pale as paper.

"Go die right now, immediately! Go die, do you hear me?" Li Qingcang roared again.

Li Yunyou said tremblingly, "Father, y-you-you said you would back me up no matter what?"

"What father do you have? Get the fuck out of here!!!" Li Qingcang was nearly angered to death on the spot.

"I..." Li Yunyou's mind went numb.

"How about I give you a little more time?" Chen Wen's leisurely voice drifted into Li Yunyou's ears.

Li Yunyou's stiff body immediately jolted.

Thud!

Without the slightest hesitation.

Li Yunyou dropped to his knees. "This lowly one failed to recognize Mount Tai. I beg Young Master to forgive my offense."

Then, he began frantically kowtowing.

"Forgive your offense? What a fresh phrase."

As he spoke, Chen Wen's gaze gradually turned cold. "This Young Master truly does not know what that means."

"I..." Li Yunyou felt as though the sky had collapsed.

"Kill him," Chen Wen said coldly.

"Wait."

Li Yunyou hurriedly said, "This lowly one is willing to be your slave and servant. I only beg Young Master to spare my life."

"You should never, under any circumstances, have harbored Killing Intent toward me."

Chen Wen spoke coldly. "For that alone, you were already dead."

Beneath Li Yunyou's lowered head, boundless madness flashed through his eyes.

Since death awaited him either way, then even if I die, I'll drag you down to the Yellow Springs with me.

At once, Li Yunyou burst forward, his Killing Intent soaring to the heavens.

"Young Master, be careful!" Jiang Taichu cried out in alarm, his face filled with terror.

Ji Youyue and the others were instantly seized by overwhelming horror, feeling ice-cold to their very bones.

If Chen Wen died here.

Then the entire Heavenly Maiden Sacred Land would be reduced to ashes. Everyone present, along with the Lineages behind them, would all have to die.

"Die for me!" Li Yunyou roared furiously, his eyes filled with madness.

Yet Chen Wen remained calm and composed, without the slightest trace of panic.

Just as everyone believed Chen Wen was doomed, a bolt of thunder suddenly crashed down from midair.

Pfft!

Li Yunyou was blasted into flying ashes just like that, not even leaving behind a wisp of Qi.

Under the blast of that thunderbolt, Heavenly Maiden Peak was directly blown into a massive crater, half the mountain reduced to powder.

This...

Everyone stared blankly at the scene, unable to stop themselves from swallowing.

What had just happened?

In an instant, an Eighth Layer Heavenly King Realm cultivator had been killed, and half of Heavenly Maiden Peak had turned into powder.

Wasn't that far too outrageous?

If that thunderbolt had been just a little stronger, would the entire Heavenly Maiden Sacred Land have been reduced to ashes as well?

I knew it, I knew it.

How could Chen Badao place all his bets on him alone? This was his biological son.

Jiang Taichu let out a long breath. Without realizing it, his back had already been soaked through.

The corners of Chen Wen's lips lifted slightly.

He was not surprised in the slightest.

At a critical moment, someone would definitely make a move.

His life was not something any stray cat or dog could take.

However, today's incident had also served as a reminder.

While strengthening his own power, he should also cultivate a force of his own.

Only what he could control himself was the most powerful.

"We congratulate Young Master on your successful cultivation and wish you an early ascension to the Imperial Throne."

After a brief silence, Ji Youyue hurriedly took the lead in kneeling and bowing to the ground.

This time, the disciples needed no reminder. They directly dropped to their knees, moving as fast as they possibly could.

Chen Wen swept his gaze around and discovered that only two people present had not knelt.

Especially that young woman dressed in a black gauze skirt with a white veil covering her face.

What intelligent, radiant eyes.

What a woman like an exiled immortal.

Chen Wen's gaze swept over Lou Lan Shengxue, and waves of amazement flashed through his eyes.

The woman before him was perfect in every regard—her figure, her bearing, and even her half-concealed appearance.

Simply standing there, she was the born protagonist, the brightest pearl.

Among all the women he had seen, only his elder sister could steadily overshadow the woman before him.

Perhaps noticing Chen Wen's scrutiny, Lou Lan Shengxue remained poised and graceful.

She merely shifted her gaze slightly and calmly met Chen Wen's eyes.
