Chapter 159 - 159 Divide the Li Family? I Don't Agree!
159 Divide the Li Family? I Don’t Agree!
Thump!
Half a day later, when the last wisp of essence was extracted from the Corpse-refining Furnace, Lin Wudao’s cultivation had successfully broken through from the final-stage Grotto-Heaven realm to the Innate Sky realm.
“Not bad.”
He was quite satisfied with this result.
Although the low-quality Corpse-refining Furnace could only extract one ten-thousandth of the corpses’ essence, he had obtained a large number of corpses from the Heishui Secret Realm this time.
Just the Li family’s patriarch corpses over the past 5000 years alone were more than 100.
Added to Li Tianhuang, Han Buqu, and the others, all of whom were in the Heaven Capture realm, it was enough to push Lin Wudao’s cultivation to the Innate Sky realm.
“Time to go back.”
After familiarizing himself with the sudden increase in power, Lin Wudao stored the Sphere Heaven Prison in the system space. Then, he took a step forward and disappeared from the spot.
In an instant, he had returned to the Myth Inn.
…
“City Lord, we’ve just received news that the Beihai Family, the Panlong Family, and the Langya Family have all sent their Heaven Capture realm powerhouses to the Li Family.”
Lin Wudao had just sat down when Yin Siming came up to him.
Hmm? The three aristocratic families all went to the Li family?
Hearing this news, Lin Wudao could not help but narrow his eyes.
He smelled something unusual.
“What are they trying to do? Could it be that they want to take advantage of the Li family’s current weakness?”
“We can’t rule out this possibility.”
Yin Siming nodded gently.
“Due to the huge changes in the past few days, the Li family’s foundation and strength are far inferior to the other three aristocratic families. They won’t sit still, especially the Panlong Family and the Beihai Family. Their relationship with the Li Family wasn’t good, to begin with. Now that the Li Family has suddenly fallen, they certainly won’t let go of this golden opportunity. If they can divide the Li family, their strength will rise to another level. In short, the Li family is in danger,” Yin Siming said in a deep voice.
A strange light flashed in his eyes.
“City Lord, why don’t we go and interfere?” He abruptly made a risky suggestion.
Hearing this, Lin Wudao pondered, “The fall of the Li family is a foregone conclusion. I can’t let the three great aristocratic families monopolize such a huge piece of fat meat.”
A moment later, Lin Wudao also made his decision.
He agreed to Yin Siming’s suggestion to interfere.
“System, raise Li Zangtian’s cultivation to the Heaven Capture realm.”
[Ding!]
[Congratulations. You have consumed five million Fate Energy value and successfully raised Li Zangtian’s cultivation to the Heaven Capture realm. The mourner can now crush all Heaven Capture realm powerhouses and suppress those who have reached perfection.]
In his mind, a system notification sounded.
“Let’s go to the Li family.”
Lin Wudao called Li Zangtian, and then the three of them rushed to the Li family as fast as they could.
…
Purple Cloud Hall.
The three top ancient aristocratic families: Beihai Family, the Panlong Family, and the Langya Family, were gathered.
Every aristocratic family had sent a Heaven Capture realm old ancestor.
The atmosphere was extremely heavy.
Although this was the Li family’s territory, they had no right to speak at all. Instead, they were reduced to meat on the chopping board, at the mercy of the three aristocratic families.
At this moment, the three aristocratic families were in a standoff. They were quarreling endlessly in the matter of dividing the Li family.
“The Heishui Family has been on good terms with my Langya Family for generations. Although they’ve encountered a disaster now, they’re not someone that the Beihai Family and the Panlong Family can bully. If you want to take advantage of the situation and divide the Li family, you have to ask if the Langya family agrees first. As long as my Langya family still has a breath left, you can forget about touching the Li family.”
Inside the Purple Cloud Hall, a red-robed old man with a fierce aura said righteously.
Boom!
As he spoke, he instantly unleashed his power of the Heaven Capture realm, sweeping through the hall.
This person was called Pei Youming.
He was a respected old ancestor of the Langya Family. In terms of cultivation and strength, he was only slightly weaker than Li Tianhuang.
After learning of the huge change in the Li family, the Langya family immediately sent him to the Heishui Ancient City as quickly as possible.
Their goal was to stabilize the situation.
However, the schemes and ideas of the Langya family could fool others, but not the Beihai family and the Panlong family.
They were all old foxes who had been around for thousands of years.
How could they be fooled?
This time, the Beihai Family had also sent a Heaven Capture realm patriarch. His name was Qi Chunqiu, and he was no weaker than Pei Youming in terms of cultivation and strength.
“Hmph, you say it better than you sing,” He sneered coldly, “Pei, don’t think that we don’t know what the Langya Family is up to. On the surface, you’re helping the Li Family, but it’s just an excuse. You want to use righteousness to chase us away. Then, your Langya Family can naturally annex the Li Family. How can such a cunning trick deceive us?” Qi Chunqiu sneered.
Similarly, the old ancestor from the Panlong family also sneered, “Your Langya Family has a big appetite. Aren’t you afraid of being stuffed to death? I’ll make it clear that the Panlong family wants one-third of the Li family’s resources. No matter who comes, I won’t budge.”
His domineering voice resounded throughout the hall. His name was Zhao Panlong, and he was born to be more domineering than others.
“Ha, one-third? The Panlong family is greedy as ever.”
“Still better than the Langya Family.”
Zhao Panlong’s expression was cold. He sat there, not flustered in the least.
“Since the Panlong family wants one-third of the resources, the Beihai family must also get a share of the profits. To be fair, I want a third too.”
After Zhao Panlong, Qi Chunqiu also said slowly.
“You guys…”
Looking at the three great aristocratic families quarreling over the division of benefits in the Purple Cloud Hall, the remaining patriarchs of the Li family and many other family members clenched their fists.
Their eyes were filled with hatred. But more than that, they were panic-stricken and terrified.
A day ago, the Li family was one of the five great families in Jiuzhou. They had a lofty status, as well as strong strength and heritage. But just in a day, they had been knocked down from their pedestal.
At this moment, to think they had become a piece of juicy meat for the aristocratic families to fight over!
This huge change and blow caused many members of the Li family to feel extremely miserable. They were filled with despair about their fate.
…
“Pei Youming, I have already made it clear. If the Langya Family wants to monopolize the Li Family’s resources, then don’t blame the Beihai Family and the Panlong Family for being merciless. Although the Langya Family is strong, you can’t resist two aristocratic families at once, right? Choose one. Either we split it equally, each taking a third, or we fight. Your choice,” Zhao Panlong said domineeringly.
After saying that, he and Qi Chunqiu both erupted with powerful auras, and their cold and sharp eyes stared intently at Pei Youming.
It seemed like a battle was about to break out at the slightest disagreement.
Seeing this, although Pei Youming was furious, he was well aware that the piece of “fat meat”, the Li family, was definitely not something that the Langya family could eat in one bite. Thus, he could only choose to compromise.
“Sigh, since things have already come to this, I am also unable to help…” He looked at the Li family and sighed, his expression filled with helplessness.
Qi Chunqiu, Zhao Panlong, and even the people from the Li family were filled with ridicule and disdain for his pretentious behavior.
A cat crying over a dead mouse, pretending to be merciful. He was just putting on an act.
“Since no one has any objections, then this matter is settled. The Beihai family, the Panlong family, and the Langya family will each take one-third of the Li family’s resources. Immediately send someone to count the resources,” Zhao Panlong waved his hand and said.
His words had already decided the fate of the Li family.
“Wait a minute. I refuse to accept this!”
Just as the three aristocratic families were about to take over the Li family’s resources, an untimely voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
Looking in the direction of the voice, they saw a stalwart young man striding in.
Behind him were two men. One had a cold expression, and his eyes were void of emotion. There was only endless coldness and ferocity.
The other person had a refined expression and his aura was as deep as the abyss. He looked unfathomable.
Whoosh!
The appearance of the three immediately made Zhao Panlong, Qi Chunqiu, and Pei Youming frown.
At the same time, their faces also darkened.
