Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 329 - : The Origins of Li Xiaoyao
Chapter 329: Chapter 329: The Origins of Li Xiaoyao
Zhu Jiuyin, known as the ghost envoy of Hell, legend has it that the eye on Zhu Jiuyin’s brow leads to the Netherworld. Anyone caught by its gaze is doomed to lose their Three Souls and Seven Spirits.
This demon beast was definitely not something they could handle.
The wisest choice was to run.
Zhu Jiuyin was very angry, extremely angry.
In just this past month, no fewer than five groups of people had disturbed it, and each time, they had managed to escape.
This time, Zhu Jiuyin decided to strike back fiercely to teach these humans a lesson, to let them know that this was its territory. Whoever dared to enter, died!
Its colossal body in no way impeded its speed. With a twist of its snake body, it caught up in the blink of an eye.
The two slower men, faces filled with terror, desperately tapped into their spiritual energy to try and escape this calamity.
Zhu Jiuyin arched its upper body, then lunged forward suddenly. Its forked tongue shot out like lightning, coiling both men and pulling them into its belly. They didn’t even have time to scream before being devoured whole by Zhu Jiuyin.
Li Yu glanced back just in time to witness this scene, frightened out of his wits.
Those two were cultivators at the peak of the Condensation Realm, yet they couldn’t muster even a hint of resistance in the face of Zhu Jiuyin and lost their lives.
Lin Changfu and two others were lucky; they had changed direction midway through their escape. Zhu Jiuyin was only focused on pursuing the Li Family members and missed them.
Zhu Jiuyin was relentless this time, chasing them for over thirty kilometers.
The resting people felt the ground shake and looked up to see Zhu Jiuyin’s massive body rapidly approaching, scaring them out of their wits and sending them fleeing for their lives.
“Fuck!” Li Tu stood up from the ground, his eyes wide as he stared at Zhu Jiuyin’s colossal body that nearly blotted out the sky, and said, “It’s fucking Zhu Jiuyin. Aren’t we sending ourselves to death?”
“Shit, this beast has gone mad!” Jiang Lichun said. “Run for it!”
Li Xiaoyao had a way to deal with Zhu Jiuyin, but he didn’t want to show too much of his strength in front of so many people, so he followed Jiang Lichun and the two of them quickly fled the area.
After devouring about a dozen people, Zhu Jiuyin looked at the others running in panic and finally turned to leave.
Seventy kilometers away, a group of people gathered together, still wearing the lingering fear on their faces.
“That beast is too terrifying,” said someone.
Li Yu, one of the lucky survivors, with a stern face, walked away and took out his phone to call Li Shisan.
“Li Shisan, the tomb-protecting demon beast is Zhu Jiuyin.”
Li Shisan was now in Ling City. Since receiving the news yesterday that a powerful demon beast was spotted in Ling City, he had immediately rushed over with several powerful cultivators from the Li Family.
Hearing Li Yu’s words, Li Shisan was slightly taken aback on the other side of the phone.
“Zhu Jiuyin? Are you sure you saw it correctly?”
Li Yu shook his head: “Definitely not mistaken, that Zhu Jiuyin is too terrifying. It has already devoured more than a dozen cultivators at the peak of the Condensation Realm, and a few masters from the Abstinence Realm were also killed.”
“Alright, I got it.”
As Li Shisan was about to hang up, Li Yu hurriedly said, “Li Shisan, there’s another important piece of news.”

“Hmm, go ahead.”
“Does the name Li Changfeng ring a bell to you?”
“Li Changfeng? It seems familiar, who is he?”
Li Yu said, “A hundred years ago, the Li Family produced a genius named Li Changfeng. At the age of 39, he successfully broke through to the Golden Core Realm, becoming the first genius in the history of the Li Family.”
“I remember now,” Li Shisan asked, “Why bring him up all of a sudden?”
“There’s a tombstone in that ancient tomb. It’s engraved: The Tomb of Li Changfeng.”
“What!” Li Shisan exclaimed in shock. “Are you telling the truth?”
“Every word is true.”
After a long silence, Grandpa Thirteen said, “I’m aware of this now. You’ve done well, and once this matter is over, I will reward you handsomely.”
“Grandpa Thirteen…” Li Yu hesitated for a few seconds, then said, “There is one more thing, but I’m not entirely sure about it, so I don’t know whether to speak of it or not.”
Today, Li Yu had brought him too many surprises. If it had been any other day, Li Yu’s hesitance to spill the beans would have been met with his loud curses.
“Speak your mind, and I shall listen accordingly.”
Li Yu glanced towards the distant Li Xiaoyao and said, “Today, outside the ancient tomb, I saw a man named Li Xiaoyao. He…”
“What about him?”
“He bears a resemblance to the clan leader.” With that said, Li Yu felt it was inappropriate to elaborate further, and with Grandpa Thirteen’s wisdom, he could guess the implication.
“What!” Upon hearing this news, Grandpa Thirteen was more shocked than when he found out that the ancient tomb belonged to Li Changfeng.
After a few seconds of contemplation, Grandpa Thirteen asked, “Have you spoken of this matter to anyone else?”
“I have not.”
“Good, you’ve done very well. For now, just wait there, I’ll be there immediately.” After hanging up the phone, Grandpa Thirteen leaned back on the hotel sofa and sat in silence for a long while before picking up his mobile phone again and dialing a number.
The contact name displayed was: Xie Nan.
…
Li Yu sat on the ground alone, quietly observing Li Xiaoyao not far away, the more he looked at that face, the more he felt Li Xiaoyao resembled the Li Family Clan Leader.
It was strikingly similar, those eyebrows, the shape of that face, especially those eyes.
Night fell quickly, and everyone started a bonfire, grilled meat, and drank, attempting to chase away the fear of the day with alcohol.
In the depths of the night, a figure swiftly approached from afar.
Before people could react, the figure had already arrived.
Li Xiaoyao, who was eating grilled meat, suddenly felt the hair on his skin stand up. His instincts kicked in, compelling him to turn his gaze toward the newcomer.
The newcomer was an elderly man with graying hair.
They seemed ordinary, without the slightest hint of aura about them, yet Li Xiaoyao sensed an extremely terrifying presence from them.
Even Jiang Lichun had never given Li Xiaoyao such a dangerous feeling.
“This person is very strong!” Jiang Lichun’s voice rang out beside his ear.
Li Xiaoyao nodded subtly and concealed his aura completely so that to outsiders, he appeared to be just a cultivator who had just entered the Qi-Training Mirror.
The newcomer was Grandpa Thirteen of the Li Family, and his cultivation level had reached the Eighth Rank of the Spirit Cultivation Realm.
Grandpa Thirteen’s aged eyes scanned each face, and when he saw Li Xiaoyao, a tremor, albeit minute, shook his frame.
“Indeed, remarkably alike.” With an internal judgment, Grandpa Thirteen was about to speak when a few presences, no less formidable than his own, came rushing from the distance.
“Li Shisan, it’s been years since we last met, why come to Ling City without so much as a greeting?” A man with a youthful build appeared among the crowd as if out of thin air, smilingly asking.
Another figure arrived, standing beside the man, with a cold tone said, “This ancient tomb was found within the bounds of Ling City. Your Li Family’s reach is going a bit too far, isn’t it?”
“It’s said that the guardian demon beast of the tomb is the ancient Zhu Jiuyin. I don’t care about the tomb, but you must not vie with me for Zhu Jiuyin.” This was a charming woman, bearing a strong resemblance to Feng Xinran.
The sudden appearance of two men and a woman caused Grandpa Thirteen’s brows to furrow slightly.
It seemed the tomb held a great allure.
