The High Antiquity Li Household.
ancestral land.
A sinister atmosphere permeated the area, heavily enveloping every inch of the ground. There were ten tombs in the area, each exuding a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.
Li Yunshan knelt on the ground, his face sincere, and bowed respectfully, saying, "Esteemed Ancestors, the Li Household now faces a formidable enemy, whom we need your assistance in eliminating."
Ten breaths passed, and the scene remained the same as before, but Li Yunshan dared not move an inch, still kneeling on the ground with a sincere expression.
boom!
At this moment, the leftmost grave began to tremble violently, and the soil and stones on top of the grave were stirred up as if by an invisible hand, scattering in all directions. Immediately afterwards, a dark blue light burst forth from the grave soil, and as the light grew stronger and stronger, finally, with a loud "bang," the grave exploded open.
As the dust settled, the figure of an old man slowly emerged. His eyes gleamed with an icy blue light, his silver hair danced wildly in the wind, and he was surrounded by eerie blue lightning, as if he were a thunder god returning from the Nine Nether hell, exuding a chilling aura.
Li Lei, one of the founding ancestors of the Li Household!
At the same time, a tomb in the corner also began to stir. The ground around the tomb cracked rapidly, and streams of scorching lava gushed out, turning everything nearby a fiery red.
A crimson light shot into the sky, forming a massive pillar of fire that spun and roared, melting the tomb.
In the firelight, a burly man strode out. He was shirtless, and his bronze skin was etched with strange red patterns that resembled burning flames, flickering with his breath.
He held a huge flaming battle axe in his hand, the flames on the axe burning fiercely, the high temperature causing the surrounding air to become distorted and blurred.
Li Huo, one of the founding ancestors of the Li Household!
At that moment, another tomb burst forth with a blinding light, the light like a sharp blade, cutting the tomb into countless fragments. The fragments floated in the air before exploding into dust.
An old woman appeared in the room. She was hunched over, her face full of wrinkles, and she held a cane in her hand. Although it was just a cane, it exuded a chilling power.
Li Suqiu was one of the founding ancestors of the Li Household!
Li Yunshan looked at the three men with eyes full of respect, "Greetings to the three progenitors!"
Li Huo said in a rough voice, "So you are the current patriarch of the Li Household?"
Li Yunshan nodded quickly, "Yes!"
Li Lei said coldly, "Speak, what do you want to wake us up for?"
Li Yunshan recounted the events that had angered him.
"Snort!"
After hearing Li Yunshan's words, Li Huo snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with killing intent, "You dare to kill a Li Household? You're courting death!"
Li Suqiu said, "Lead the way."
The Shen Li's Tomb.
Just as everyone was waiting, the entrance to the tomb suddenly flashed with brilliant light, and then a group of people flew out from it.
Entrance closed!
"They're out!"
"I wonder who will inherit the legacy."
"It should be somewhere between Man Ya and Jun Yaoyang."
"What a pity, Fairy Li, she's dead."
The crowd buzzed with discussion, some even revealing greed; after all, it was the inheritance of Shen Li, and who wouldn't be tempted?
Jun Yaoyang's face was extremely gloomy, his fists clenched, and his eyes were filled with resentment and anger. He was just a hair's breadth away from obtaining the inheritance of Shen Li!
It was so close!
Those two deserve to die!
Man Ya sighed helplessly, "Sigh, they really are two monsters. Wait a minute."
He suddenly noticed that the atmosphere in the room seemed off, and not only him, but everyone who came out of the secret realm felt it.
Man Ya looked towards the Man Household and asked in surprise, "Clan leader, what brings you here?"
The Man Zun said, "Let's go back to the clan and talk about it."
He frowned, revealing his Man Ya.
Something's not right!
Something is very, very wrong!
"What are you all standing there for? Come here now!" the Man Ba.
Man Ya snapped out of his daze, nodded, and then flew towards the Man Household's direction.
Mu Xiu, " Yaoyang, come here too."
Jun Yaoyang suppressed his resentment and flew towards the High Antiquity Sword Sect.
Yang Zhenyu said in a deep voice, "Let's go too."
Xiu'er said, "But Senior Brother Lin Fan and Youyue are still inside. Shouldn't we wait for them?"
Yang Zhenyu said, "I sense something's off about the atmosphere here. Lin Fan and Youyue have the Dean and the others with them, so there's no need to worry. Let's go!"
"Gentlemen, you'll have to wait a while before you leave." At this moment, Li Nian suddenly spoke up and blocked everyone's path, including Jun Yaoyang and Man Ya!
Jun Yaoyang and Man Ya paused, turned to look at Li Nian, their expressions filled with doubt.
The Man Zun frowned and said, " Li Nian, what do you mean?"
Li Nian glanced at him, "No one is allowed to leave until the murderer of Ruobing is identified."
Who killed Li Ruobing?
The group that emerged from the secret realm instinctively looked at Yang Zhenyu and his companions. After all, although Su Chen Su Chen had killed the man, they were actually in cahoots with him.
The Man Zun said coldly, "Aren't my Man Household members allowed to leave?"
Li Juejun stared intently at Li Nian, but secretly transmitted his voice, " Yaoyang, did you kill Li Ruobing?"
Jun Yaoyang's face darkened, a surge of anger rising within him, but he still replied, "No."
Li Juejun didn't say anything more. Since it wasn't him, that was good. What he was afraid of was Jun Yaoyang, otherwise things would have been difficult, and they might have had to go to war with the Li Household. Fortunately, it wasn't Jun Yaoyang who killed him.
Li Nian calmly said, "Once I find out who killed Ruobing, they can naturally leave."
"You bastard!"
The Man Zun was furious, and his powerful energy spread out, causing everyone to feel suffocated and filled with fear.
Li Nian, however, remained unfazed and said indifferently, "What? Does your Man Household want to start a war with my Li Household?"
Just as Man Zun was about to speak, Li Juejun stopped him.
The Man Zun frowned, his expression filled with doubt.
Li Juejun transmitted his voice, "I learned from Yaoyang that it wasn't Man Ya who killed him, but someone else, so there's no need to worry. Let him investigate."
The Man Zun remained silent for a moment, then nodded and withdrew his aura.
Li Nian gave Li Juejun a deep look, but quickly looked away. He then looked at the group emerging from the secret realm and asked, "Tell me, who killed my Li Household's prodigy?"
Everyone hesitated. If they spoke, they might offend Su Chen, but if they didn't, they would offend the High Antiquity Li Household. They couldn't afford to offend either side, so they were caught in a dilemma: to speak or not to speak.
Just as Li Nian was getting impatient, Jun Yaoyang suddenly said, "I know who killed him!"
"Um?"
All eyes turned to Jun Yaoyang.
Li Juejun's heart sank.
Li Nian stared at Jun Yaoyang, "Who is it?"
Jun Yaoyang said, "That person hasn't come out of the tomb yet."
Li Nian frowned. "Are you kidding me? The tomb entrance is closed, how could he still be here?"
