Chapter 154 Rebels Against the Li Family
Abyss Realm, Li Lan!
Upon hearing these two words, many people in the room showed expressions of confusion.
Not many people in the Immortal Realm know the name Li Lan, and even the fall of the Abyss Realm happened several years ago, and everything that happened has been gradually forgotten.
"The Abyss Realm, Li Lan..."
Li Qiankun was also puzzled. As the Holy Ancestor, he usually stayed in seclusion and rarely concerned himself with clan affairs. At this moment, he couldn't help but ask Li Daoling, "What's going on?"
Li Daoling, however, was filled with mixed emotions, including remorse and regret. He gave a bitter laugh and remained silent.
Li Cangxuan, standing beside him, also sighed and said, "Reporting to the Holy Ancestor, this person is a descendant of Li Qinghong of our clan!"
"Years ago, Li Qinghong was ordered to go to the Abyss Realm to fight against the Gray Mist, but unfortunately he was stranded there and never returned. Several years ago, Li Daoling was ordered to go to the Abyss Realm to stop the Gray Mist and at the same time prepare to bring back Li Qinghong's descendants. However, Li Daoling disobeyed orders. Originally, Li Huan and Li Xue'er were supposed to enter the sacrificial burning formation, but he pushed Li Lan into the formation for his own selfish reasons..."
"Li Lan is a man of exceptional talent. Even in the Abyss Realm, he had already cultivated to the third level of the True Dragon Technique... In order to save the people of the Abyss Realm, he took the initiative to rush towards the Bright Venerable Demon Soul and never returned. Everyone... thought he was dead."
Li Cangxuan can be considered a descendant of Li Qinghong.
Therefore, upon seeing Li Lan at this moment, the original hostility and anger were replaced by regret and helplessness, and the feelings in his heart were extremely complicated!
Li Cangwu and the others all realized the truth at this moment.
No wonder Tu Tianlong and Zhan Yiyuan repeatedly opposed the Li family, forcing the Li family to suffer heavy losses and defeats everywhere!
So all the grudges arose from this?!
It's all because of the injustice Li Daoling suffered back then!
Is this...revenge?
At this moment, none of the Li clan members felt anger; instead, a wave of intense regret flashed through their minds!
"If Li Daoling had followed the clan's orders and brought Li Lan back back then, our clan would have gained another peerless genius..."
"How could such a peerless genius be driven to the opposite side of the family?"
"Moreover, he has seen the Mingzun Demon Soul and may have obtained its inheritance, making it invaluable!"
"Li Daoling... deserves to be executed!"
Everyone couldn't help but speak up!
If Li Lan weren't a member of the Li clan, or if he weren't such a genius, they wouldn't have experienced such dramatic ups and downs.
However, if Li Daoling hadn't been so ruthless back then, and had taken some kinship into his clan and brought Li Lan back to the Li clan, then entering their Li clan would truly have created another peerless genius, bringing thousands of years of glory to the Li clan!
This feeling of missing out on something I should have had... it was too intense!
Even people like Li Cangwu looked extremely grim.
"Such an unparalleled genius, actually driven to a path of no return by the Li family?"
"The Li family's fortunes are about to decline greatly!"
"Blind as a bat, the Li family is truly blind!"
Upon hearing this, members of other major factions also spoke up.
They were both surprised and relieved!
What was surprising was that Li Lan was also a member of the Li family, and what was fortunate was that this peerless genius had completely broken ties with the Li family!
Upon hearing this, Li Qiankun's face darkened considerably, like a volcano about to erupt. He stared intently at Li Daoling, uttering each word with utmost intensity:
"Is this... really true?!"
Before Li Daoling could answer, he grabbed him with a large claw, a glint of light flashing in his eyes as he shot towards Li Daoling's eyes. Instantly, Li Daoling screamed in agony, blood streaming from his eyes, his whole body trembling, but he was unable to struggle or resist!
"Soul Searching..."
Upon seeing this, Li Cangwu and the others all paled!
It should be noted that the method of soul searching is a forbidden art. Forcibly searching another person's memories can easily turn the person into an idiot. Even if they manage to retain their sanity, their soul will inevitably be severely damaged!
It's clear that Li Qiankun is truly enraged, so he completely disregards even a direct descendant like Li Daoling!
No one dared to stop or dissuade them!
Much later.
"The glorious history of the Li family has been almost ruined by your selfish actions!"
Li Qiankun was furious, his face dark and gloomy, and he actually slammed down with his palm.
"No!"
Li Daoling let out a shrill scream, and in an instant, his soul was annihilated!
died!
Everyone was extremely shocked.
Li Daoling was a key figure among the younger generation, yet he was killed outright!
"If only you had known this would happen, you wouldn't have done it in the first place."
Li Cangxuan could only sigh!
Li Xue'er, standing beside her, had already lost all color in her face and turned deathly pale. She suddenly knelt down, pleading and crying, "Holy Ancestor... Xue'er knows she was wrong, Xue'er knows she was wrong!"
"Please spare me, please spare me!"
She was trembling all over.
Li Qiankun's eyes still held murderous intent, but Li Cangwu, mindful that Li Xue'er was his direct descendant, hurriedly spoke up: "Holy Ancestor, killing her is useless. The best course of action now is to mend the fence after the sheep are lost!"
His eyes gleamed.
Li Qiankun nodded, then turned to look at Li Lan and said, "Family, I'm sorry."
“But now, you have used your family’s Tengshe Water-Taking Array to become an unparalleled true immortal. I have already killed Li Daoling, so the conflict should be resolved.”
"Return to your family, and I will establish you as the Holy Son of our clan, and personally protect you!"
The dignified Holy Ancestor personally extended the invitation.
All the members of the Li family harbored expectations!
Ultimately, all of this was caused by Li Daoling. Li Daoling is already dead. If Li Lan is willing to return to the family, it would be a great thing for the entire Li family!
The Sun Moon Sect, Sword Sect, and other forces are also observing the situation.
But Li Lan just smiled and shook his head, saying, "I have already established the Yuan Clan in the Immortal Realm and am no longer a member of the Li Clan!"
Returning to the Li family? Of course not!
Upon hearing this, Li Qiankun frowned!
"Li Lan, this is our clan's Holy Ancestor! How dare you speak to your elder like that?!"
Taking the opportunity, Li Cangwu shouted, "Even though the family has wronged you in some ways, the blood flowing in your veins is still the family's blood. Without the Li family, where would you be? Moreover, the Heavenly King Tower and the Tengshe Water-Taking Formation both came from the family. The family has treated you well!"
Upon hearing this, Li Lan couldn't help but laugh in anger!
This guy's shamelessness is truly astonishing!
"If I remember correctly, the Heavenly King Tower was lost to me by your Li family during the time of the Sinful State."
He said calmly, "As for this Tengshe Water-Taking Formation, your Li clan forcibly occupied the land of my Yuan clan and enslaved my Yuan clan people. This formation belongs to my Yuan clan, which is only right and proper!"
Li Cangwu said in a deep voice, "You brat, are you openly rebelling against the family?"
"So what if we rebel?"
Li Lan retorted sharply: "Besides, I have never been a member of the Li family. You old dog, what are you barking about?"
Li Cangwu gritted his teeth in anger, but turned to look at Li Qiankun and transmitted his voice, "Holy Ancestor, it seems that this boy... has completely lost his ties with my Li clan!"
"If we keep them, they will surely become a great threat!"
"It would be better to kill him, take his flesh, blood, cultivation, and Dao fruit, perform a grafting technique, and let Hao'er return to his peak. Otherwise, my Li family will lose everything!"
Li Hao was his direct descendant, and he harbored resentment after Li Hao was crippled!
At this moment, Li Lan's refusal to return to the family is exactly what he wanted.
Only in this way can Li Hao have a chance to recover; otherwise, if Li Lan really returns, their lineage is destined to decline.
Now that Li Lan's return is just empty talk, he believes that the Holy Ancestor will weigh the interests himself!
Sure enough, Li Qiankun also had a look of displeasure on his face at this moment!
Having personally killed Li Daoling as the Holy Ancestor, how dare Li Lan refuse his invitation?
Even geniuses need someone to protect them.
Li Qiankun shook his head: "Dugu Yibai can't protect you, and neither can the Sword Sect and the Sun Moon Sect. Return to your family and walk the righteous path, otherwise, you are destined to be nothing more than a flash in the pan!"
He is still making a final effort.
But Li Lan simply shook his head and smiled, saying, "My Yuan Clan is about to rebuild our homeland, so we won't keep you any longer. Please—"
You are being asked to leave!
Li Lan paused for a moment, then said:
"Furthermore, there is one more thing. If the Li family dares to tread the path of gray mist mutation in the future and disrupt the main war situation, Li Lan will fight the Li family to the death!"
This is a warning!
Anger finally surfaced on Li Qiankun's face!
"You brat, do you really think that geniuses can do whatever they want?"
He spoke in a deep voice, saying, "Since you are unwilling to return to the family, then return the Li family blood flowing in your veins to my clan!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his terrifyingly large hand reached out to grab Li Lan.
Direct force!
As Li Cangwu said, now that Li Hao has been crippled and Li Lan is unwilling to return to the family, it can be said that they have lost everything. The only thing they can do is to capture Li Lan, strip him of everything, and graft him onto Li Hao.
Only in this way can the Li family protect their own interests!
Having achieved the status of a Celestial Saint, Li Qiankun would absolutely not show any mercy.
"Dare you!"
However, the Sword Saint of the Ocean was prepared. He unleashed a sword intent and stood in front of Li Lan, coldly saying, "Brother Qiankun, as a dignified Immortal Saint, isn't it a bit much to attack the younger generation?"
Li Qiankun coldly replied, "This is a matter within my clan. What does it have to do with your Sword Sect?"
"Today, even if it were Dugu Yibai himself, he wouldn't be able to protect him, let alone you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly said, "I beg the Great Sage of the Dark Phoenix to aid my Li family!"
The Great Sage of the Nether Phoenix!
Upon hearing these four words, the Sword Saint of the Sea's expression immediately changed.
Although he didn't know who Mingfeng was, the Great Sage...
People of this caliber are few and far between in this world!
Is there actually a Great Sage behind the Li family?
If that's the case, then even he probably won't be able to protect Li Lan.
As everyone was still in shock, a black figure slowly emerged from the sky. She gracefully descended into the arena, her long black dress making her appear extremely cold and beautiful, yet as the hem of her dress fluttered, there seemed to be flashes of dark flames...
"The Phoenix Clan!"
"Primordial Forbidden Beings!"
"So powerful, a Great Sage!"
Everyone was utterly shocked.
The Phoenix Clan had disappeared from the Immortal Realm long before the True Dragon, but now they have reappeared, and they are even Great Saints!
The Li family was quite excited.
"With the Great Sage's protection, what do my people have to fear?"
"Yes, with the help of the Great Sage, Li Lan was captured and stripped of his true dragon bloodline, Brother Hao was able to rise to prominence here!"
"All of this is rightfully ours, the Li family!"
Li Xueer and the others spoke up one after another!
"After the Li family, there was indeed a master to guide them."
The Sword Saint of the Ocean couldn't help but sigh, his expression slightly complicated.
A great sage...
It would be difficult to find another figure like him in the entire northern frontier.
What Li Qiankun said was indeed true. With such a master appearing, even the Sword Sect and the Sun Moon Sect probably wouldn't be able to protect Li Lan!
"Young friend, I will risk my life for you in a desperate gamble. You must leave immediately and head to the ancestral land of my Sword Sect. There is a Great Saint-level sword formation there that can protect you."
He sent a telepathic message to Li Lan, saying that he was prepared to fight to the death!
……
"Great Sage of the Nether Phoenix, my Li family is about to clean house, and I beg you to lend us a hand!"
Li Qiankun bowed respectfully to the young woman in the black dress.
With the Sword Saint of the Ocean at the scene, it won't be easy for Li Qiankun to capture Li Lan. Therefore, to be on the safe side, he has no choice but to ask the Great Sage of the Dark Phoenix to take action.
The Great Sage of the Nether Phoenix smiled slightly and said, "Purge the sect? You mean you're going to deal with Li Lan?"
Li Qiankun paused for a moment, but still said, "That's right."
"Can……"
The Great Sage of the Dark Phoenix smiled and said, "I am his protector. Tell me, should I help him or help you?"
She smiled calmly, but when she heard those words, Li Qiankun was instantly shocked. He looked up, his old eyes filled with disbelief!
Everyone in the room was shocked!
Is the Great Sage of the Nether Phoenix Li Lan's protector?
