The old man was none other than Li Nian, the patriarch of the Li Household!
At this moment, Li Nian's aura was exceptionally violent, permeating the entire High Antiquity Li Household. Countless disciples knelt on the ground, their faces filled with fear and awe.
A disciple of the Li Household asked in a trembling voice, "Grand... what's wrong with Ancestor? Why is he so angry?"
But no one responded to him, because they were also in a state of confusion and had no idea what was going on.
At this moment, dozens of figures soared into the sky, finally stopping in front of Li Nian. The leader was a middle-aged man, tall and imposing, with hair that was no longer thick and black, but instead streaked with silver, exuding an aura of authority. It is worth mentioning that his appearance was remarkably similar to Li Ruobing's.
Li Yunshan, the patriarch of the High Antiquity Li Household, is a Mid-stage Immortal Emperor!
Behind him were dozens of elders from the Li Household, the weakest of whom was a High-Stage Immortal Sovereign- Immortal Sovereign Realm, none of whom were below the Immortal Sovereign Fifth Layer!
Li Yunshan looked at Li Nian, his expression grave and puzzled. "Ancestor, what happened? What made you so angry?"
Li Nian put his hands behind his back, took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, trying to calm his emotions, and then said, " Ruobing is dead."
"What!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Li Household elders changed drastically, their eyes filled with disbelief.
boom!
At this moment, the power of Mid-stage Immortal Emperor within Li Yunshan's body suddenly erupted. The dozens of elders around him were startled and hurriedly tried to block this power. Although they blocked it in time, they were still blown thousands of meters away.
Veins bulged on Li Yunshan's forehead, his fists clenched, his face contorted with rage. He stared intently at Li Nian. "Ancestor, is it true? Is Ruobing really dead?"
"Well."
Li Nian sighed deeply, and said with a complicated expression, "The wisp of my soul that I left inside her is gone."
Li Yunshan's face gradually lost its color, his lips trembled slightly, and he seemed to age ten years in an instant. As if he had thought of something, a soul lamp appeared in his hand, but it was extinguished.
Li Yunshan felt as if the sky had fallen. He refused to believe the result and shook his head repeatedly, "No... it's impossible. How could Ruobing be dead? She should have been strong enough to protect herself."
Seeing that Li Yunshan was about to lose his temper, Li Nian said seriously, "Yunshan, calm down."
"Calm down? My daughter is dead, how can you expect me to calm down!" Li Yunshan almost roared, his eyes bloodshot, each vein seeming to speak of his inner anger and sorrow.
Li Ruobing displayed extraordinary talent for cultivation from a young age, reaching the Immortal Sovereign Realm at a young age. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was the number one prodigy in the entire High Antiquity Li Household.
She was also Li Yunshan's most beloved child. From childhood to adulthood, Li Yunshan never let her suffer any hardship; she was raised with utmost care and affection.
Therefore, Li Yunshan was particularly agitated and angry after learning of Li Ruobing's death.
Li Nian knew how Li Yunshan was feeling, so she wasn't angry at being rebuked. "What's the use of being angry? Does being angry avenge Ruobing?"
An elder of the Li Household said, "Yes, Patriarch, what we need to do now is investigate who killed the young lady."
Upon hearing this, Li Yunshan gradually calmed down. After a brief silence, he spoke, "Ancestor, don't you know who killed Ruobing?"
Li Nian shook his head and said, "My wisp of soul didn't send me any information before it dissipated, so I don't know who killed me."
Li Yunshan's face turned grim, and his fists began to turn white from clenching them so tightly.
The sixth elder of the Li Household suddenly said, "I remember that Miss seemed to have gone to Shen Li's tomb with Li Fentian."
"The tomb of Shen Li?"
Li Nian and Li Yunshan both looked at the sixth elder of the Li Household.
Li Nian frowned and asked, " Shen Li has perished?"
The Sixth Elder nodded and said, "Yes, the Ancestor and the Patriarch may not know because they are in seclusion. Just recently, Shen Li's tomb appeared in the world, so Miss and Li Fentian went there to seek fortuitous opportunity and inheritance."
At this point, his heart sank. "Miss must have died there."
Li Yunshan's expression was uncertain, but he finally said to the Sixth Elder, "Take me to the Shen Li's Tomb."
The Sixth Elder nodded without further ado and turned to fly off in one direction. Li Yunshan and the other elders followed behind him.
Li Nian remained in place, lost in thought for a long time, before finally following after them. His intuition told him that things weren't so simple, but so what if they weren't? What did the High Antiquity Li Household have to fear? He wanted to see who dared to kill their Li Household's number one prodigy. If he found out who did it, he would make them wish they were dead!
Inside the Shen Li's Tomb, it was nighttime. Su Chen and the others arrived at a dead tree. Yang Zhenyu lit a campfire, and the group sat around it. As for Youyue, she remained unconscious.
Xiu'er looked at Youyue and said worriedly, "It's been half a day, why hasn't Youyue woken up yet?"
As she finished speaking, Youyue's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with confusion. As if she had thought of something, she suddenly stood up, looking around warily, but then she froze.
"Senior Sister Youyue, you're finally awake!"
The three women, Liu Cui and Xiu'er, immediately became excited. Xiu'er even cried. She had been worried about Youyue, fearing that she might not wake up.
Youyue snapped out of her daze and frowned, "What's going on..."
Before she could finish speaking, she noticed Su Chen standing to the side and froze again. "You... what are you doing here?"
Su Chen smiled and said, "Why can't I be here?"
Youyue was speechless, her expression full of doubt.
Yang Zhenyu then said, "Senior Sister Youyue, it was the Dean who saved us."
Upon hearing this, Youyue looked at Yang Zhenyu, frowned, and asked, "What exactly happened?"
She is completely bewildered and has no idea what happened while she was unconscious.
Yang Zhenyu recounted what had happened. When Su Chen had killed Li Ruobing and Li Nian in anger for her sake, Youyue feeling welled up in her heart, and the corners of her mouth even turned up involuntarily.
Youyue sat down beside Su Chen, her face slightly flushed, and whispered, "Thank... thank you."
Su Chen smiled faintly, "It's nothing."
Youyue smiled slightly, then said, "By the way, how did you end up in a tomb?"
Su Chen threw a wooden stick into the fire, and the fire instantly blazed up. The firelight illuminated his handsome face, adding to his charm, Youyue was almost mesmerized by his gaze.
Su Chen said, "Because you've been here for many days and haven't gone back yet, I came to check on you."
Upon hearing this, Youyue asked somewhat embarrassedly, "Is it... is it because of me?"
Su Chen looked at her, blinked, and didn't say anything.
