Seven Deadly Sins System-Chapter 233: Bright Moon City(2)
According to the Blood God Temple, the temple's current situation was very bad and it did not have the time nor the manpower to help the Bright Moon City resist the monsters.
Patriarch Li was a little disappointed when he first learned of this, but he quickly calmed down, having already expected this.
His realm had reached the Awakening Realm and with his connections, he knew more than the senior members of the Li family.
As far as Patriarch Li knew, since the invasion of the Divine World and the Monster Disaster occurred, all the major forces were struggling to deal with the changes.
Among these forces, the Blood God Temple, the Human Emperor Temple, and the Sword Palace, which bordered the Myriad Demons Forest, were especially affected.
Not only were there many practitioners of the Divine World raging inside their territory, plundering resources and spreading strange beliefs but there were also countless monsters who rushed out of the Myriad Demons Forest and attacked the human settlements, seemingly regarding humans as their food.
Because of this, the Blood God Temple would of course not care about a mere Li family.
Many thoughts went through Patriarch Li's head as he placed the communication talisman back in his space ring and stood up, before exiting the room.
He didn't immediately rush to the walls of the Bright Moon City to assist in defending but walked deeper into the mansion of the Li Family, and after he climbed down a staircase, he found himself in an underground passage.
At the entrance of the passage, a young man in his late teens was already there, seemingly waiting for him.
When he noticed Patriarch Li's arrival, Li Huo breathed a sigh of relief.
"Father, you're finally here!", he said and rushed towards Patriarch Li.
Hearing his son's voice and looking at his somewhat immature, a complex emotion flashed in Patriarch Li's eyes, but he quickly hid it, not allowing Li Huo to notice it.
Glancing at his son, Patriarch Li took a space ring off his finger and placed it on Li Huo's hand, before explaining.
"You should know that the situation of the Li family and the Bright Moon City is very bad. But you don't have to worry."
"When I was younger, I traveled the world and became friends with the current Patriarch of the Yu family."
"As long as we ask for help, Patriarch Yu will surely rush to this place.", Patriarch Li said, and as he spoke, he took a map made out of leather out of his pocket.
Unwrapping the map, brought it in front of his son.
"This is our current location.", he said and pointed at a small dot on the southeast part of the map, before he moved his finger and placed it at the center of the map.
"This is the headquarters of the Yu family. If you rush with all your strength, you should be able to reach it within a month."
"When you get there, you should give my letter to Patriarch Yu.", Patriarch Li said and gently patted Li Huo on his shoulder.
"The future of the Li family is placed on you."
Hearing his father's words, Li Huo always felt that there was something amiss, but he couldn't pinpoint what that was.
In the end, facing his father's solemn expression, he could only nod his head, put everything away, and walk deeper into the passage.
According to his father, this passage led outside the Bright Moon City and by going through it, he could bypass the attacking monsters.
"Father, don't worry. I'll never let our Li family be destroyed!", Li Huo subconsciously clenched his fists, vowing to rush to the Yu family with all his strength.
However, what Li Huo didn't know was that Patriarch Li was currently staring at his leaving back, his eyes filled with emotion.
Only after his figure had completely disappeared did this emotion disappear and he turned his gaze away.
Then, he waved his hand, sealing the entrance of the underground passage and activating the formation guarding it.
After he was done, Patriarch Li finally breathed a sigh of relief and his tense body relaxed.
Now that his son had left, he had nothing to worry about.
"Although it's impossible for the Yu family to send us help, with the grace of saving Patriarch Yu's life in the past, he will guarantee the safety of Li Huo."

That's right.
From the very start, Patriarch Li didn't expect the Yu family to help them resist the monsters.
The reason why he sent Li Huo away was not for him to deliver the message, but to let him escape and prevent him from dying with the rest of the Li family.
In fact, it was not that Patriarch Li didn't consider abandoning Bright Moon City and escaping with the Li family, but he quickly suppressed that idea.
Doing so was bound to lead to the family's destruction.
Although the Li family was said to be independent, it was actually a force attached to the Blood God Temple and the real owner of the city was the temple.
As such, abandoning the Bright Moon City was equivalent to betraying the Blood God Temple.
The Blood God Temple might not care about the Bright Moon City's destruction and would not send anyone, but it would do anything in their power to punish the Li family if they were to betray it.
After all, if the Blood God Temple allowed the Li family to betray them without any harm, other forces, families, and cultivators would not hesitate to follow them.
With the invasion of the Divine World and the Monster Disaster, the Blood God Temple would never allow such a thing to happen.
"Fortunately, with the Yu family's protection and the sacrifice of the entire Li family, the Blood God Temple will not make things difficult for Li Huo."
"If anything, they'll make sure to protect him, showing to their subordinate forces that they'll take care of the martyr's family.", Patriarch Li thought silently and his plan was actually revealed.
Surprisingly, Patriarch Li was prepared to use his life, the lives of the members of the Li family, and the lives of every person in Bright Moon City, in order to pave the way for his son.
