Chapter 72:
The air quieted down.
All eyes fell on the man on the stage.
The man wore a white robe and had a peerless appearance. His eyes were filled with killing intent and a hint of disdain.
As for Li Sheng, who was insufferably arrogant just a moment ago, his face was as white as paper, and he was paralyzed on the ground, bleeding profusely.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed, “Li Ran, he’s Li Ran!”
Following this cry of alarm, the atmosphere began to boil.
“Li Ran is back?”
“It’s really the Devil Sect’s Sheng Zi Li Ran!”
“Heavens, it really is him!”
“Could it be that he personally came back to annul the engagement?”
The expressions of the people from different families changed.
Li Ran, the son of the Li Clan Patriarch, the direct heir of Youluo Temple, the sect’s Sheng Zi!
The one born with a Dao Mark.
The reincarnation of an immortal emperor.
The number one genius in the vast lands.
The only Saint-grade talent in a thousand years…
Each and every one of these titles made it impossible for all the geniuses to raise their heads high.
Li Ran’s shadow was like a huge dark cloud covering the entire city. Even the Li Family members were dumbfounded.
When did Li Ran return?
Not only did he suddenly appear, he even attacked and injured Li Sheng. This made them feel that something was amiss.
Xiao Nian stopped in his tracks.
As he looked at the two figures on the stage, he felt a bit enlightened.
“No wonder Qingge had insisted, so they’ve long since…”
Xiao Qingge stared blankly at his tall and straight back.
This man had once again descended from the sky to save her.
“Li Ran, you’ve finally arrived…” Her voice was choked with sobs, tears welling up in her eyes.
If he came just a little later, she really wouldn’t be able to hold on.
“We meet again, Miss Sun!” He was clearly blaming her for hiding this fact from him.
After spending so much time together, he didn’t know that Sun Qingqing was his fiancée!
Before, he had felt strange, but he didn’t think much about it. Now, after thinking about her actions, he could explain many things.
Xiao Qingge lowered her head in embarrassment. “I’m sorry, I just wanted to give you a surprise.”
“Surprise? Shock was more like it!” Li Ran was angry.
“Am I wrong?”
Tears were still on Xiao Qingge’s face, but her smile was brilliant. “However, it’s good to see you come back safely!”
Li Ran fell silent.
Thinking back to the time the two of them spent in the Grand Myriad Mountain Range, a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes.
“I’ll deal with you later!”
“I’ll let you take care of me later.” Xiao Qingge pinched the corner of her clothes and blushed.
Li Ran was speechless. “…”
He turned around and looked at Li Sheng below the stage, his eyes gradually turning cold.
Li Sheng only felt that his entire body was about to crack.
Xiao Qingge was about to die from his attack, but he was suddenly struck flying by someone’s attack.
“Who exactly is it…”
He raised his head and looked up at the stage. He almost threw out a few drops of urine.
“Li, Li Li Ran?!
“When did this devil return?” Li Sheng’s back went numb.
Although he was Li Ran’s cousin, it was precisely because of this that he knew how terrifying his cousin was.
“Brother Ran, when did you come back? Why didn’t you greet your family?” Li Sheng struggled to stand up with an embarrassed smile on his face.
Li Ran smiled coldly. “Should I report back to you when I return to Wu Yang City?”
Li Sheng’s heart trembled. “I didn’t mean it that way…”
Li Ran raised his hand and snapped. “If I didn’t hear wrongly, did you just say that you wanted to annul the engagement on my behalf?”
Li Sheng gulped. “That’s the family’s order. I was only ordered to do such…”
“Then killing Xiao Qingge is also the family’s arrangement?”
“This…” Li Sheng’s heart trembled, and cold sweat soaked through his shirt.
When Li Ran extended his hand, a huge suction force generated, instantly sucking Li Sheng.
With one hand holding Li Sheng’s neck, Li Ran’s voice was like a bone-chilling icy wind. “Dare to attack my fiancée? Li Sheng, are you tired of living?!”
Li Sheng’s face turned green and purple as he struggled in the air as if he was drowning.
When the Li family saw this, they immediately panicked.
“Young Master Ran, don’t be rash! According to the family rules, it is a grave crime to kill someone from the same family!”
“Hmm?“ Li Ran looked at him. “Are you telling me how to do things?”
Tremendous pressure was released, directly pressing the deacon onto his knees, sealing his movements.
Everyone else’s hearts became cold.
It was over.
Li Ran had really gone mad.
Something big was about to happen.
The Li family is a family with many branches.
Not everyone was loyal to the patriarch’s lineage.
A group of people led by the grand elder would often openly and secretly oppose the patriarch.
As the son of the Great Elder, Li Sheng had secretly done a lot of dirty deeds to discredit Li Ran.
It could be said that half of Li Ran’s infamy was created by Li Sheng.
Li Ran knew this clearly, but he was far away in the Youluo Temple. He did not care about him.
Who would have thought that he would be so arrogant?
Li Ran clutched his throat with one hand, his voice ice cold. “As long as the marriage contract has not been annulled, Xiao Qingge is my fiancée!”
“Li Sheng tried to murder my fiancée. He is a person with no ethics, he should repent with his life!”
“Since he failed to commit the crime, his death penalty could be forgiven, but it is difficult to leave the living criminal roaming free.”
“I’ll abolish your cultivation to set an example!” Li Ran’s hand surged out with qi and poured directly into Li Sheng’s body.
Surging qi instantly destroyed his meridians.
Li Sheng’s body twitched, his eyes turning white as blood flowed out from his seven orifices.
Bang!
As soon as Li Ran let go of him, Li Sheng smashed onto the arena like mud.
His meridians were thoroughly crippled, and his dantian was empty. From this moment on, he had become the mortal he looked down on the most.
Even with immortal pills, the cure was useless.
When everyone saw this scene, their hearts were filled with despair.
This was the son of the Li Family’s Grand Elder, an inner sect disciple!
Just because he attacked Xiao Qingge, his cultivation was crippled?
Li Ran was indeed worthy of his name!
Too ruthless!
Li Ran kicked Li Sheng off the stage and smashed him right in front of the Li Family Executor.
“Bring him back to the Li Manor.”
“Yes.” The deacon was so scared that his legs went limp. How could he dare to disobey Li Ran’s orders? He picked up Li Sheng and quickly left.
Li Ran narrowed his eyes as he swept his gaze down the stage.
The disciples of the other families all avoided his gazes, and none of them dared to look at him.
They were all secretly thinking about whether they had offended Xiao Qingge or not, but they must not let this fiend come knocking on their doors.
Fortunately, Li Ran didn’t say much. He turned around and walked with Xiao Qingge.
As everyone looked at the bloody arena, a thought swept past their hearts.
The Xiao family couldn’t be offended!
