Chapter 353: Chapter 353: Anyone who dares touch him will face family punishment!
The news of Li Shisan’s murder spread across the internet at a terrifying speed, and the video of Li Xiaoyao descending from the sky also went viral.
Conspiracy theories swarmed the net, with some digging up old tales of celestial beings and spiritual phenomena.
Others brought out various pictures of aliens, simply trying to further fuel the incident.
At the base of Taihang Mountains lay a city called Qingyang City, its buildings imbued with an ancient charm.
The entire city had an ineffable sense of antiquity, and stepping into it felt like entering a new world.
This was the location of the Li Family Clan, one of the Eight Great Sects of Xuan Country.
The Li Family did not choose a major city like Jindu to establish their headquarters; they originated from Qingyang City.
Moreover, after hundreds of years of development and the efforts of several generations, they had arranged a vast Spirit Gathering Array in Qingyang City.
Because of this, the concentration of spiritual energy in Qingyang City was several times stronger than in other cities.
At that moment, in the Li Family mansion.
In the spacious living room, a group of elders filled the sofas, while the younger generation stood at both sides and behind them.
An old man said, “Li Shisan is dead!”
Someone asked, “How did he die?”
Another person said, “He was killed by a cultivator named Li Xiaoyao.”
“It’s said that this Li Xiaoyao is…” The person’s gaze flickered slightly and his expression turned odd.
“Is what? Speak your mind.”
The person chuckled and said, “Apparently, this Li Xiaoyao is the long-lost son of the Family Head.”
“Nonsense!” An elder with graying hair scoffed, “Apparently? According to whom? Don’t spread baseless rumors.”
The man wasn’t offended and simply responded calmly, “This is what Li Shisan himself said.”
“Li Shisan said it? Isn’t he dead?” The elder furrowed his brow, confused.
Thereupon, the person recounted in great detail the events that had transpired earlier that day.
After the details were relayed, the living room fell into a deep silence; no one spoke.
“Thud, thud, thud…”
Footsteps resonated from outside. Everyone turned towards the sound and saw Li Yiming and Li Tu walk in.
As soon as he entered the living room, Li Yiming said, “You all must have heard about Li Shisan’s incident, I presume?”
Someone said, “I just heard a joke. It’s said that the guy who killed Li Shisan is the Family Head’s son?”
“A joke?” Li Yiming wore a strange expression and scanned the faces of those present. “This is no joke.”
The atmosphere in the living room instantly became still.
This isn’t a joke?
Could it be that Li Xiaoyao really is the long-lost son of the Family Head?
If these words were spoken by an ordinary person, the members of the Li Family present would certainly not take them seriously.
But now, the one who said these words is none other than the Third Elder of the Li Family, Li Yiming!
“I don’t care who he is, he killed my Uncle Wu, and he must die!” A cold, angry voice came from upstairs; the voice slowly fell as steady footsteps began to echo.
Everyone looked towards the source of the voice and their expressions subtly changed. Several elders furrowed their brows slightly, while a few others revealed a smile that seemed to delight in the misfortune.
Li Yiming frowned and looked at this woman, feeling somewhat annoyed in his heart.
What a foolish woman who doesn’t know the gravity of the situation. Do you think that just because you are the Family Head’s Second Lady, you can dispose of Li Xiaoyao at will? If Li Xiaoyao really is the son of the Family Head, not to mention a single Xie Min, even if the entire Xie Family were annihilated, no one would dare to utter a word.
However, he ultimately did not voice these thoughts. After all, this woman was the current wife of the Family Head, and with this status alone, she held a certain position and right to speak within the family.
“Xie Min deserved his death.” Li Yiming said indifferently, a statement which caused the Second Lady Xie Nan’s brows to furrow deeply, and she immediately berated him, “Third Elder, what do you mean by that? What do you mean my Uncle Wu deserved his death?”
Li Yiming replied calmly, “If Li Xiaoyao truly is the son of the Family Head, Xie Min dared to make an attempt on his life. Not to mention that he’s already dead by Li Xiaoyao’s hand, even if he hadn’t died, I would personally see him put to death.”
Xie Nan was furious, “You…”
Li Yiming ignored her, his gaze sweeping over the people in the living room. His voice was not loud, but it carried an authority that brooked no challenge or rebuttal, “Li Tu, proceed to Ling City immediately and invite Li Xiaoyao to the Li Family. If anyone dares to take action on their own, they are defying the family rules, and should not blame me for personally taking action. Is that understood?”
Li Yiming’s message was very clear: until Li Xiaoyao’s identity was clarified, nobody was allowed to harm him. Anyone who dared would be punished by him personally.
Currently, with the Li Family Head absent from the family and both the Great Elder and the Second Elder handling other matters, Li Yiming, the Third Elder, was the de facto leader of the Li Family.
As for Xie Nan, the nominal Second Lady, she was, after all, a woman and could not truly control the Li Family. She only held a symbolic status within the family.
“Fine, Third Elder, you do not regard my Uncle Wu’s life; once Chengfeng returns, I will clarify everything with him and then see how you explain yourself,” Xie Nan said with a face full of anger, her beautiful and delicate features exuding resentment.
Li Yiming remained unmoved and responded indifferently, “Second Lady, you can say whatever you like, but until the Family Head returns, the Li Family is under my command.”
Everyone was silent for a few seconds, when suddenly someone asked, “Then, what about the death of Li Shisan? Our Li Family Clan rules do not allow bullying among our own, let alone mutual killing. Can it be that just because he might be the son of the Family Head, he can break this rule?”
Hearing this, everyone immediately looked at Li Yiming, waiting to see how he would explain.
“Li Shisan and Xie Min took matters into their own hands and attempted to murder Li Xiaoyao, but were instead killed by him. Even if Li Xiaoyao had not killed them, according to the rules of the Li Family Clan, they would have been sentenced to death.” Having dropped this statement, Li Yiming waved his sleeve and said, “Alright, everyone scatter.”
After hearing Li Yiming’s explanation, everyone was shocked in their hearts.
Who exactly is this Li Xiaoyao?
This content is taken from fгeewebnovёl.com.
If he truly is the son of the Li Family Head, then his age could at most be no more than thirty years old.
A young man, only around thirty years old, actually managed to survive the joint attack from Xie Min and Li Shisan. One must know that Li Shisan was a Cultivator at the Eighth Rank of the Spirit Cultivation Realm, and as a member of the Li Family, he had powerful spells at his disposal. Xie Min was even a Cultivator at the First Rank of the Golden Core Realm. Despite the formidable cultivation of these two Cultivators joining forces, not only could they not kill Li Xiaoyao, but they were instead killed by him.
Such an age, such strength, just the thought of it was frightening to all present.
“Perhaps, Li Xiaoyao really is the son of the Family Head; otherwise, he absolutely could not possess such a terrifying talent for cultivation.”
“Even so, it’s too terrifying. To be so powerful at just over twenty years old!”
