129 Sage's Shroud!

Hmm?

Hearing someone offer 110,000 medium-grade spirit stones, the onlookers immediately looked in the direction of the voice.

...

With that, they saw a handsome young man in embroidered clothes slowly walking out of the crowd with an old man who had a haggard face and sinister eyes.

Both were in the Innate Sky realm.

Among them, the young man in embroidered clothes was only at the early stage of the Innate Sky realm, but the black-robed old man had the powerful strength of the peak stage Innate Sky realm.

Furthermore, it seemed that their relationship was quite good.

"Eighth Young Master, Li Chenzhou?"

Exclamations came from the crowd.

As they spoke, they subconsciously opened up a path for the two to pass through. Dense reverence floated in their eyes.

This person was the Eighth Young Master of the Li family, Li Chenzhou!

At the same time, he was also the third son of the Li family's current clan leader, Li Xuandao.

Li Chenzhou had been talented since he was young. His cultivation and strength were even stronger than the Ninth Young Master, Li Chengfeng. Moreover, he was the son of the clan leader, so his status was even more extraordinary.

Whether it was in the Li family or the Heishui Ancient City, he had a prominent status.

As for the black-robed old man beside him, no one recognized him.

However, to be able to possess cultivation at the peak of the Innate Sky realm, he was obviously no ordinary person.

"Saint Tianshi?"

With a glance, Lin Wudao learned about the black-robed old man.

The other party was actually a cultivator who refined corpses as his Dao!

At this moment, He seemed to have taken a fancy to the Innate Sky realm corpse as well.

"Li Heishui, I want this corpse," Li Chenzhou glanced at Li Heishui and said indifferently.

Hearing this, Li Heishui's eyes emitted a cold light.

"I've already sold this corpse! If you want to buy it, you have to see if he agrees."

Hmm?

Li Chenzhou's gaze landed on Lin Wudao. His gaze was indifferent as if he did not take the latter seriously.

"I'll pay 110,000 medium-grade spiritual stones for the corpse. How about it?"

"No!" Lin Wudao shook his head.

"120,000!"

"No!"

"150,000! Sir, this corpse is of no use to you. Why don't you give it to me and we can be friends?" Li Chenzhou said meaningfully.

As he spoke, he vaguely revealed a threatening intent!

However, Lin Wudao wasn't scared in the least.

"I'm sorry, I have a great use for this corpse. I can't give it to you."

Boom!

As he spoke, Lin Wudao stretched out his hand and was about to put away the Innate Sky realm corpse.

However, just as he made his move, Saint Tianshi couldn't stand by anymore. He first shattered Lin Wudao's hand and then grabbed the corpse.

"Kid, I'll pay 200,000 medium-grade spiritual stones for the corpse. "

Whoosh!

As he spoke, he waved his sleeve and 200,000 medium-grade spiritual stones appeared under Lin Wudao's feet.

Seeing this, Lin Wudao's expression was indifferent.

"No one has ever dared to snatch something from my hands…"

His calm voice sounded.

Whoosh!

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying sword energy suddenly cut through the void. Before Saint Tianshi could react, his head was severed.

It was Li Zangtian!

"What? Did he kill a peak Innate Sky realm cultivator in one strike? Where did he come from?"

Everyone was shocked.

Even the Eighth Young Master Li Chenzhou's eyes were filled with an intense shock. His handsome face was filled with gloom.

Saint Tianshi was his guest. Yet now, his guest had been killed with a single sword strike right under his nose!

For a moment, Li Chenzhou was both shocked and humiliated.

"Aren't you going too far? Saint Tianshi was a guest of the Li family. Since you have killed him, are you looking down on my Li family?" He clenched his fists and questioned.

He wanted to use the Li family's power to intimidate Lin Wudao! Unfortunately, he had found the wrong target.

"Eighth Young Master, do you want to avenge your friend?"

"I…"

"While I'm still in a good mood, you'd better disappear immediately. Otherwise, if I change my mind, I'll kill you too. At that time, even the Li family won't be able to protect you."

Lin Wudao's extremely indifferent voice slowly sounded.

What was that? He would kill even Li Chenzhou?

Everyone revealed a look of disbelief. They had never seen someone so arrogant!

"Ha, what an arrogant tone. There has never been anyone in this Heishui Ancient City who dares to look down on the Li family…"

"Li Zangtian, kill him!"

Boom!

The moment Lin Wudao's voice rang out, Li Zangtian raised his hand and swung his sword fiercely without saying a word.

"Shit!"

Seeing that Li Zangtian did dare to kill him, Li Chenzhou was so frightened that he turned pale with fright.

Crack!

Immediately, he crushed a green jade talisman as quickly as he could. As Li Zangtian's terrifying sword energy descended, Li Chenzhou's body turned into a green light and disappeared from where he was.

"Damn it, just you wait!"

In the air, a roar of hatred echoed.

Regarding this, Lin Wudao did not take it to heart.

If he seriously wanted to kill Li Chenzhou, even if the other party had a teleportation jade talisman, he would definitely die without a burial ground.

"City Lord, since you have already offended him, why don't you just kill him?"

Yin Siming was puzzled.

"Let's cast a long line to catch a big fish! Li Chenzhou is just a nobody who's not even worth mentioning. If he can attract the stronger powerhouses of the Li family, it will be more valuable than killing him. Moreover, he will not be able to escape death. Now, I am only letting him live a little longer…" Lin Wudao said calmly.

So that was how it was!

Hearing this, Yin Siming nodded thoughtfully.

He knew that Lin Wudao was conspiring after the Heishui Ancient City again.

…

"Li Heishui, are you selling the tattered burlap on your body?"

Lin Wudao ignored the shock of the people around him.

After he put away the Innate Sky realm and Lord Heavenly Corpse's corpses, his gaze fell on the tattered burlap on Li Heishui's body.

This thing was not ordinary. It was a shroud stained with the aura of a Sage!

In other words, this shroud had once wrapped around a Sage! It was definitely something good!

Uh… This person even wanted the tattered burlap on Li Heishui? Who was he?

Seeing that Lin Wudao was thinking of buying the burlap too, the onlookers immediately revealed shocked expressions. Their gazes were as strange as they could be.

In fact, not only them, even Li Heishui was stunned.

"This item is not for sale!"

He shook his head.

He had found the Sage's Shroud in the Heishui River. Although he didn't know what it was, as long as he draped it over his body, he would be able to offset the covetous eyes of the terrors at the bottom of the river.

It was the guarantee of his safety!

Naturally, he was unwilling to sell such an item.

"What a pity…"

Although he had expected this, Lin Wudao could not help but sigh when he heard Li Heishui's rejection. He looked as if he had missed out on hundreds of millions!

"I can't sell you this shroud. However, other than this one, I have another one. Do you want it?"

Hmm? Another shroud?

Upon hearing this, Lin Wudao, who was originally disappointed, suddenly became spirited again.

"Of course! Is it the same as yours?"

"No, it's more ordinary…"

As he spoke, under Lin Wudao's extremely expectant gaze, Li Heishui reached into the black cloth bag at his waist.

Then, he took out a tattered burlap cloth stained with pale golden blood.

"Demigod's Shroud?"

Lin Wudao's God's Spiritual Eye swept across the item, and his eyes lit up.

This one was not bad either.

130 Congratulations, You Have Received the Favor of the Heavens!

"How much is this shroud?"

"100,000 high-grade spiritual stones!"

...

Li Heishui pondered for a while before raising his head and saying.

What?! 100,000 high-grade spiritual stones?

Hearing this price, the onlookers all revealed shocked expressions. All of them looked at Li Heishui in disbelief.

They simply couldn't understand how an ordinary burlap could be worth 100,000 high-grade spiritual stones.

Yet, Lin Wudao agreed with this price.

"100,000 high-grade spiritual stones is indeed worth it!"

As he spoke, he took out ten supreme-grade spiritual stones and handed them to Li Heishui.

"Oh my god, supreme-grade spiritual stones?"

There was a commotion in the crowd.

At this moment, the way they looked at Lin Wudao had undergone a huge change. Those who could take out supreme-grade spiritual stones were all existences with extremely prominent status.

"This person seems to have an even greater background than Li Chenzhou…"

"Ha, is there a need to say that? Who can have top-grade spiritual stones?"

"No wonder he can take no heed of Heishui Ancient City's Li family. He must have a great background. Even if he did kill Li Chenzhou with a single sword strike just now, the Li family probably would not dare to make a sound either."

"Who exactly is this young master?"

…

Everyone was trying to guess Lin Wudao's identity and background.

Lin Wudao simply ignored them.

At this moment, he looked at Li Heishui with a very gentle gaze as if he was looking at a huge treasure!

"In the future, if you encounter such treasures or powerhouse corpses, I will take it."

"Alright!" Li Heishui nodded lightly.

Naturally, he could tell that Lin Wudao was not an ordinary person.

Whether it was the supreme-grade spiritual stones or the fact that Li Zangtian had killed a peak-stage Innate Sky realm cultivator with a single strike, all of these were enough to prove that Lin Wudao had a noble identity and background.

At the very least, he did not think much of the Li family at all!

"The Path to Heaven is about to descend. The water in Heishui Ancient City is getting deeper and deeper…" Li Heishui sighed as he watched Lin Wudao leave.

Then, he looked at the supreme-grade spiritual stone in his hand again, and his eyes were filled with excitement.

"With these ten supreme-grade spiritual stones, Qingcheng's cultivation should be able to reach a higher level. At that time, she'll be one step closer to breaking through to the Innate Sky realm. If only I could knock open the Heavenly Gate on the Path to Heaven and obtain a great fortune bestowed by the heavens…"

Li Heishui's eyes were filled with longing.

Ever since his parents and fiancée passed away, he had placed all his hopes on his sister, Li Qingcheng.

The greatest wish in his life was to nurture Li Qingcheng into a powerhouse.

At that time, they would take revenge for their dead parents!

However, walking the Path to Heaven was harder than ascending to the heavens!

With his aptitude and strength, there was not much hope for him to knock open the Heavenly Gate and obtain a great fortune bestowed by the heavens.

"I hope that the heavens will favor me and allow at least Qingcheng to knock open a Heavenly Gate…" Li Heishui prayed in his heart.

Boom!

It was also at this moment that a huge rumble suddenly sounded in his mind. It was as if a supreme will had descended on his soul.

[Congratulations, you have received the favor of the heavens!]

[In Jiuzhou, a heavens' emissary has just been born. As long as you sacrifice the corpse of a powerhouse above the Grotto-heaven realm, you will be able to obtain his help.]

[The heavens' emissary is named Dongfang Bubai.]

[With the corpse of a powerhouse as a sacrifice, you can invite him to descend into the mortal world and help you knock open the Heavenly Gate on the Path to Heaven to obtain great fortune.]

[You can also invite him to help you take revenge!]

[As long as you present the corpse of a powerhouse and pray devoutly, you will receive a response …]

…

A series of majestic voices shook Li Heishui's soul.

Heavens' emissary, Dongfang Bubai?

Facing the sudden and mysterious voice, even Li Heishui, who was calm and steady, felt endless horror.

His cold gaze quickly swept across the surroundings, but he did not find anything.

He even suspected that he was hallucinating!

[Do you wish to invite Dongfang Bubai?]

Suddenly, the mysterious voice from before sounded again.

This time, Li Heishui heard it clearly. There was indeed an unknown mysterious existence talking to him.

This caused his heart to tremble!

At the same time, a bold thought surfaced from the bottom of his heart.

"Can Dongfang Bubai help me with any request?"

[Not necessarily! You only need to prepare the corpse of a powerhouse as a sacrifice. At the same time, say what you need help with. If Dongfang Bubai accepts your invitation, he will come and help you fulfill your wish.]

[The stronger the corpse sacrificed, the higher the success rate of inviting Dongfang Bubai!]

[Seven days ago, Dongfang Bubai helped the Dari Demonic Sect to successfully survive the Great Tribulation of High Heavens in Nightmare Mode. You can rest assured that he is strong enough.]

…

The Great Tribulation of High Heavens? Nightmare mode?

Hearing this, Li Heishui could not help but be shocked!

He did have some understanding of the Great Tribulation of High Heavens. The Great Tribulation in Nightmare Mode was simply a declaration of death. It was extremely difficult to survive it safely.

Yet, Dongfang Bubai had helped the Dari Demonic Sect survive the tribulation. It was obvious how powerful he was.

With this precedent, Li Heishui could not help but be convinced.

"All these years, I've been fishing for corpses in the Heishui River. I didn't get many opportunities or fortunes, but I've accumulated quite a lot of corpses. If I can invite Dongfang Bubai to do something for me by using a corpse as a sacrifice, that's naturally best. Let's try. What if it's true?" He pondered.

Immediately, he returned to his residence and dug out an ancient corpse that had been buried for a long time in the backyard.

Although it had been eroded by time, after being washed by the Heishui River, the corpse still retained its appearance when it was still alive. There were no signs of decay.

Furthermore, the corpse he dug out was even more powerful than the one he had just found in the Heishui River.

It was the corpse of a Heavenly Cycle realm cultivator!

"How should I sacrifice the corpse?"

[Please wait a moment. Dongfang Bubai is being invited for you …]

The mysterious voice sounded in his mind.

Hearing this, Li Heishui did not get anxious. He immediately waited patiently.

…

Myth Inn, the largest inn in Heishui Ancient City.

This place provided all kinds of services.

It was said to belong to a force in the Green Heaven Region that wasn't weaker than the Green Heaven Chamber of Commerce.

The meaning behind its name was that anyone who stayed in the Myth Inn would reach the Myth realm.

After parting ways with Li Heishui, Lin Wudao stayed in the Myth Inn under Yin Siming's lead.

Qingshan Courtyard.

Lin Wudao had just sat down when he received a notification from the system.

[Ding dong!]

[You have received an invitation from Li Heishui. Please look into it in time.]

Hmm? Li Heishui?

Lin Wudao was stunned when he heard this name.

"Is it the Li Heishui from just now, or is it just the same name?"

Under his doubts, he immediately opened the Book of All Beings.

In an instant, the specific information regarding the invitation was reflected in his eyes.

[Invitation: Li Heishui]

[Wish: Unknown]

[Reward: A Heavenly Cycle realm powerhouse's corpse.]

Buzz!

A mysterious light appeared, and Li Heishui's appearance instantly appeared on the Book of All Beings.

"It really is him!"

Lin Wudao was surprised.

Then, the corners of his mouth curled into a mysterious smile.

"Interesting! You've been fishing for corpses in the Heishui River for so long, so your stock of corpses must be quite spectacular. Since that's the case, I'll have to extort you properly…"

As he spoke, he agreed to Li Heishui's invitation.

"What do you want me to do for you?"

…

Hmm? Did he really successfully invite the heavens' emissary?

Hearing the mysterious voice in his mind, Li Heishui's spirit was greatly roused.

Whoosh!

After a moment of silence, his eyes revealed an extremely strong light of hope.

"I would like to ask Emissary Dongfang to help me make a trip to the Path to Heaven and knock open the fifth Heavenly Gate to obtain the Sky-mending Divine Water that is the final heavens reward. Is that possible?"

Taking a deep breath, Li Heishui said the craziest thought in his heart.

"You want me to help you knock open the fifth Heavenly Gate of the Path to Heaven? You quite daring to make your request."

Looking at Li Heishui's request, Lin Wudao couldn't help but shake his head.

...

Also, what was that Sky-mending Divine Water?

Although he wasn't too sure, anything that could be placed after the fifth Heavenly Gate definitely couldn't be simple. It must be an extremely precious divine item or a supreme treasure.

"You want me to help you open the fifth Heavenly Gate by offering a mere Heavenly Cycle realm corpse? It's very difficult for me to help you with such a small reward."

Lin Wudao refused immediately.

This transaction was completely unfair. Naturally, he would not agree.

…

After hearing Dongfang Bubai's words, Li Heishui also fell silent.

He naturally knew that if one wanted to knock open the fifth Heavenly Gate, one had to be a powerhouse who could walk to the end of the Path to Heaven, which was very rare in history.

Not only did this require powerful strength but also unparalleled aptitude, Fate Energy, perseverance, and destiny.

A Heavenly Cycle realm corpse was indeed not enough.

Thinking of this, Li Heishui looked at the deepest part of the backyard.

A hint of determination flashed across his eyes.

"I'm willing to sacrifice the corpse of a Demigod. How about that?"

Demigod?

Lin Wudao was shocked when he saw this.

He had just bought a Demigod's shroud, and now, the other party had a Demigod's corpse?

"This Li Heishui does have many good things in his hands," Lin Wudao praised in his heart.

"Emissary Dongfang, my request is not high. If you can knock open the fifth Heavenly Gate, walk to the end of the Path to Heaven, and obtain the Sky-mending Divine Water, I only want half of it. The Sky-mending Divine Water rewarded by the heavens this time is enough for two cultivators to improve their aptitude and aptitude bone. It's useless even if there's more."

Seeing that there was no response, Li Heishui gritted his teeth and revealed some information.

Hmm? The Sky-mending Divine Water was used to increase one's aptitude?

Lin Wudao was shocked.

"If it is enough for two people, I can consider it," He pondered.

Then, he called Yin Siming over.

…

"Greetings, City Lord."

"Hmm, tell me in detail about the situation of the Path to Heaven. What are the tests of the five Heavenly Gates? Is there anything worth paying attention to?"

"Yes."

Yin Siming bowed.

Immediately, he organized his words and began his introduction.

"City Lord, there are a total of five Heavenly Gates on the Path to Heaven, namely the King Heavenly Gate, True God Heavenly Gate, Sage Heavenly Gate, Great Sage Heavenly Gate, and Great Emperor Heavenly Gate."

"Knocking open the fifth Heavenly Gate symbolizes having the potential to become a Great Emperor. At that time, one will arrive at the end of the Path to Heaven and obtain the supreme fortune bestowed by the heavens."

"The King Heavenly Gate tests the cultivator's perseverance. Outside the first Heavenly Gate is 3000 Dao steps. Only by crossing all the steps can one open the King Heavenly Gate."

"The True God Heavenly Gate tests the strength of the cultivator. At that time, there will be eighty-one magical golden sky bells outside the Heavenly Gate. By ringing all the golden sky bells with one's own strength, one can knock open the True God Heavenly Gate."

"The Sage Heavenly Gate tests the cultivator's aptitude. This is because if a being wants to achieve something, they must have a strong aptitude and aptitude bone. Within this Heavenly Gate will be obscure techniques. As long as one cultivates the techniques to a certain level within the stipulated time, one can pass."

"The Great Sage Heavenly Gate tests the cultivator's Fate Energy. The stronger the Fate Energy, the more one will be favored by heaven and earth. After reaching the Sage Realm, although one's aptitude is important, Fate Energy is even more important. Only those with great Fate Energy can knock open the Great Sage Heavenly Gate."

"The Great Emperor Heavenly Gate tests the cultivator's destiny. Destiny determines one's fate and achievements. The better the destiny, the stronger the potential."

…

So that was how it was.

After listening to Yin Siming's introduction, Lin Wudao had a more detailed understanding of the five Heavenly Gates on the Path to Heaven.

Soon after, he began to ponder.

"The first Heavenly Gate tests perseverance. Although 3,000 steps are long, I should be able to pass smoothly. The second Heavenly Gate tests one's combat strength. With the Origin Stone, I can increase my cultivation by a major realm. There won't be any problem. Then, as long as I have enough Fate Energy value, I can easily pass through the third and fourth Heavenly Gates. The key is the fifth Heavenly Gate. It tests one's destiny…"

"System, what kind of destiny do I have?"

Because he was uncertain, Lin Wudao could only ask the system.

[Host, you don't have a destiny.]

What was that? He didn't have a destiny?

Hearing this answer, Lin Wudao was shocked.

"What do you mean? Don't they say that everyone in this world has a destiny? Why don't I have one? Is it because I'm a transmigrator?" He asked in disbelief.

[That's not the case. The host does not have a destiny because you are not bound by the Great Dao. Without a destiny, it means that everything is possible.]

"Can I still pass the test of the fifth Heavenly Gate?"

This was what Lin Wudao was most concerned about.

[Yes.]

Although it was only one word, it made him feel relieved.

"So, what I lack now is Fate Energy value?"

Lin Wudao frowned.

"You can leave first."

"Yes."

After Yin Siming left, Lin Wudao took out the Demigod's Shroud. After examining it for a while, he sacrificed it.

[Congratulations, you have sacrificed a Demigod's Shroud and obtained 30 million Fate Energy value.]

Thirty million?

Hearing this number, Lin Wudao's spirit was greatly boosted.

Ten supreme-grade spiritual stones in exchange for 30 million Fate Energy value.

This deal was a huge profit.

[Name: Lin Wudao]

[Identity: The City of Sin's City Lord]

[Cultivation: Final stage of the Mahayana realm]

[Fate Energy value: 30,084,000]

…

Looking at the line of numbers on the system panel, Lin Wudao was extremely satisfied, but he felt that it was still not enough.

"I have to take advantage of him. Li Heishui still has a Sage's Shroud in his hands. If I can get it and sacrifice it, I'll definitely be able to obtain more Fate Energy value."

Thinking of this, Lin Wudao had an idea.

"A Demigod's corpse is still not enough for me to help you. Unless you can take out a divine item or a supreme treasure that can move my heart. After all, I'm not after your things. I just need to take your things to deal with your business," Lin Wudao said slowly.

Hmm? A Demigod's corpse wasn't enough?

Hearing the voice in his mind, Li Heishui frowned.

He did have divine items and supreme treasures.

For example, the Heaven and Earth Treasure Catalog was an unparalleled divine item.

However, that was the foundation of his peaceful life. He could not give it away no matter what.

Other than the Heaven and Earth Treasure Catalog, there was only…

Whoosh!

In an instant, Li Heishui's gaze fell on the Sage's Shroud on his body, and his heart was filled with struggle.

"What if I add a Sage's Shroud?" After a long time, he gritted his teeth and asked.

"Sage's Shroud? This thing seems to have been contaminated with the aura of a Sage. Its value is barely enough."

Dongfang Bubai's reply rang out in his mind.

Hearing this, Li Heishui could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that it was not enough.

"If I offer a Demigod's corpse and a Sage's Shroud, can you guarantee that I will be able to get the Sky-mending Divine Water?"

"Of course. My credibility and strength are guaranteed. You can rest assured."

"Okay, I believe you."

After saying that, Li Heishui immediately took off the Sage's Shroud and placed it beside the Demigod's corpse.

He waited silently.

132 Ascending to the Heavens in One Step, Entering the Grotto-Heaven Realm!

Buzz!

A slight ripple appeared in the void in front of him. Then, under Li Heishui's shocked gaze, a strange black hole appeared out of thin air.

...

The Demigod's corpse and the Sage's Shroud on the ground were absorbed into it.

"Three days later, when the Path to Heaven opens, I will descend on the Heishui Ancient City and knock open the fifth Heavenly Gate to obtain the Sky-mending Divine Water for you."

Dongfang Bubai's ethereal voice sounded in his mind.

"In three days, Qingcheng, you will become an overwhelming prodigy. Your future will be limitless. In this way, I can rest assured…" Li Heishui smiled.

This was the only thing he could do for Li Qingcheng!

"Oh right, Emissary Dongfang, before the Path to Heaven descends into the world, can I ask you to do one more thing with this Heavenly Cycle Realm powerhouse's corpse?"

"Tell me about it."

"It's like this. I want to ask Emissary Dongfang to bring me to Mystic Moon Lake in the Forest of Delusion. I have a grudge against Li Chenzhou. I want him to lose his reputation and die without a burial place. Of course, it's best not to let anyone find out…" Li Heishui said with a vicious look.

Hmm? Did he want to kill Li Chenzhou?

In the Myth Inn, looking at Li Heishui's wish displayed in the Book of All Beings, Lin Wudao could not help but narrow his eyes and smile.

Coincidentally, he also disliked Li Chenzhou! He could agree to this request.

"Very well. What do you plan to do?"

"Oh, once we get to the Mystic Moon Lake, Emissary Dongfang will know."

He was hiding the details? He most definitely had bad intentions!

Although Lin Wudao was curious, he didn't ask any further questions.

"When do you plan to go to Mystic Moon Lake?"

"Noon!"

"Alright, I'll come and pick you up. Just wait patiently."

After saying that, Lin Wudao collected the Heavenly Cycle realm corpse through the Book of All Beings as well.

Then, he cut off the connection.

"There are still about two hours before noon. Let's first collect the corpses I have obtained this time around…"

Bang!

With a wave of his hand, the Heaven Burial Copper Coffin appeared out of thin air.

Then, the Demigod's corpse, the Innate Sky realm's corpse, the Heavenly Cycle realm's corpse, and Saint Tianshi's corpse were all put into the coffin.

[Ding!]

[You have collected an Innate Sky realm corpse and obtained 8,000 Fate Energy value. After the system's tenfold enhancement, you have obtained 80,000 Fate Energy value!]

[You have collected a Heavenly Cycle realm corpse and obtained a thousand-year-old longevity spiritual medicine. After the system's tenfold enhancement, you have obtained a ten-thousand-year-old longevity spiritual medicine. After consuming it, your lifespan will be increased by 100 years.]

[You have collected the corpse of Saint Tianshi and obtained a dharma technique: Soul-searching Technique. After the system's10 times enhancement, you have obtained the technique: Great Soul-searching Technique!]

[You have collected the corpse of a Demigod and obtained a Small Heaven-ascending Pill. After the system's tenfold enhancement, you have obtained a Great Heaven-ascending Pill!]

…

A series of notifications sounded in his mind.

Hearing this, Lin Wudao's spirit was greatly boosted.

He did not pay too much attention to the Fate Energy value, the ten-thousand-year-old longevity spiritual medicine, and the Great Soul-searching Technique.

What he really cared about was the harvest from the Demigod's corpse!

[Name: Great Heaven-ascending Pill]

[Level: Spiritual pill]

[Rarity: Supreme-grade]

[Description: Obtained after the Small Heaven-ascending Pill underwent the system's tenfold enhancement. After swallowing and refining it, anyone below the True God realm can increase their strength by three major realms.]

…

"Increase by three major realms?"

Lin Wudao's eyes lit up when he saw the information.

The surprise came too suddenly!

He knew that after collecting the Demigod's corpse, he might obtain something unusual. However, he did not expect it to be the Great Heaven-ascending Pill.

This was simply a supreme divine item for living beings in the mortal realm!

"I'm so lucky this time! With my current cultivation, if I refine this Great Heaven-ascending Pill, my cultivation will be improved by three major realms and I'll reach the heavens in one step, becoming a late-stage Grotto-Heaven cultivator. I had just been worried that I could not find a way to raise my cultivation. I did not expect the opportunity to come so soon…"

Lin Wudao was all smiles.

"System, with my aptitude, how long will it take for me to completely refine and absorb the Great Heaven-ascending Pill?"

[One month.]

That long?

Lin Wudao frowned.

[Consuming Fate Energy value can speed up the process.]

"How much Fate Energy value does it take to refine the Great Heaven-ascending Pill in an hour?"

[One million.]

"Alright, help me to refine the pill then," Lin Wudao agreed readily.

Now, he was rich and did not lack this one million Fate Energy value.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

…

Under the system's help, the moment the Great Heavenly Pill entered Lin Wudao's stomach, majestic spiritual energy immediately surged out crazily and rushed into his limbs and bones.

In an instant, Lin Wudao's cultivation increased at a speed visible to the naked eye…

Peak stage of the Mahayan realm.

Perfection in the Mahayana realm.

Deva realm.

Myth realm.

Grotto-Heaven realm.

…

One after another, he crossed through the major realms.

Whoosh!

After some time, Lin Wudao's cultivation had risen by three major realms when the last bit of the pill was used up.

He had reached the final stage of the Grotto-Heaven realm!

At this moment, powerful energy surged around him. If he used the "invincibility" attribute of the Origin Stone, his battle prowess would be comparable to a late-stage Innate Sky realm cultivator.

It could be said that he had truly reached the heavens in one step!

Lin Wudao was extremely satisfied with his gains this time.

"Oh right, there's also the Sage's Shroud. I wonder how much Fate Energy value I'll get if I sacrifice it?"

With a thought, He sacrificed the Sage's Shroud.

[Ding-dong!]

[You have sacrificed a Sage's Shroud and received 1 billion Fate Energy value.]

One billion?

Lin Wudao was shocked!

"Li Heishui is really my lucky star. It's only the first time we met, but he has brought me so many benefits. Other than the Great Emperor's corpse that was collected in the Divine Ruins, the harvest this time should be the greatest."

A smile bloomed on his lips.

Li Heishui was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye…

"After receiving such a great benefit from him, I should help him properly next."

As he spoke, Lin Wudao circulated the Emperor's Scripture of the Primordial Imperial Race and began to familiarize himself with his newly obtained cultivation and strength.

Very quickly, an hour passed.

…

Next to the Heishui River.

In a dilapidated courtyard, Li Heishui was clenching his fists and waiting anxiously.

His heart was filled with both anticipation and hesitation.

"Dongfang Bubai should be real, right? It's already noon. Will he come? If he does come, how would he appear? If he doesn't come, I would have lost a Sage's Shroud. In the future, I am afraid that I will no longer be able to head to the Heishui River to retrieve corpses…"

He kept pacing back and forth. From time to time, he would look out of the courtyard.

Whoosh!

Just as Li Heishui was anxiously waiting, suddenly, a subtle ripple appeared in the void in front of him.

Immediately after, a mysterious person wearing a black cloak and a strange mask appeared out of thin air in the courtyard.

"You are… Dongfang Bubai?"

Looking at the mysterious person who suddenly appeared, Li Heishui gulped and asked carefully.

"Yes! I am very satisfied with your offerings. According to your requirements, I will bring you to Mystic Moon Lake in the Forest of Delusion."

As he said this, Lin Wudao threw over an invisibility jade talisman.

He had a lot of such things, all given to him by the Mad Daoist previously.

"If you crush it, you can hide your body in the void. Ordinary people can't see you."

Was it that magical?

Li Heishui was surprised!

Crack!

He crushed the invisibility jade talisman, and his body was instantly enveloped by a mysterious force, allowing him to hide in the deepest part of the void.

"Alright, let's go!"

Lin Wudao ignored Li Heishui's shock.

Boom!

Lin Wudao waved his hand and swept the other party up. Then, the two disappeared from the spot.

133 Li Chenzhou, You Must Die!

The Forest of Delusion was located to the west of the Heishui Ancient City.

At the same time, it was also adjacent to the Li family.

...

According to the information revealed by the Book of All Beings, Lin Wudao learned that the Forest of Delusion was an extremely dangerous place in the Heishui Ancient City.

There were many mysteries hidden within.

Ever since the Li family had taken control of the Heishui Ancient City, they had yet to fully understand the ins and outs of the Forest of Delusion even after thousands of years of exploration.

Anyone who entered had to be careful.

However, Lin Wudao did not have such concerns.

Whoosh!

Using the dharma technique of So Close Yet So Far, he took one step forward and arrived at the Forest of Delusion. He looked up and saw that an ancient dense forest was completely shrouded in fog.

The fog that permeated the air was extremely strange. Ordinary people's gazes could not see through it at all.

"What secrets are hidden in the Mystic Moon Lake? Would Li Chenzhou be there at this time?" Lin Wudao asked curiously.

Hearing this, Li Heishui nodded lightly.

"The Mystic Moon Lake is an extremely strange place. Its lake water contains a mysterious power that can cleanse the impurities in one's body, making one's body and spiritual energy even purer. As far as I know, every year at this time, the Eldest Miss of the Xia Dynasty's Qingyi Marquis's Mansion, Luo Qinghan, would come to the Mystic Moon Lake in the Forest of Delusion to wash. Every year, she will train here for half a month."

The Xia Dynasty? Luo Qinghan from the Qingyi Marquis's Mansion?

Hearing this, a strange look flashed across Lin Wudao's eyes.

"What does this have to do with Li Chenzhou?" He continued to ask.

"It's related, of course. I found out about a secret through a special channel. Li Chenzhou has been coming to Mystic Moon Lake every noon these days. Today is no exception."

Hmm? Li Chenzhou would come too?

"What is he doing here? Is it also to cleanse his body and purify his spiritual energy?"

"Hehe, of course not!"

Li Heishui shook his head.

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth curled into a mysterious smile that all men understood.

"Huh… It can't be that you're saying that Li Chenzhou is doing something to Luo Qinghan…"

Suddenly, Lin Wudao seemed to have thought of something and immediately revealed a shocked expression.

In response, Li Heishui nodded.

"Emissary Dongfang, you will know when you see it. Li Chenzhou's father won the position of clan leader twenty years ago through a scheme. He caused my parents and fiancée to die tragically. This hatred is irreconcilable. I once swore that I would make Li Xuandao and his son pay with their blood. Today, I finally got the chance. Next, I will make Li Chenzhou lose his reputation and die without a burial place."

At this point, Li Heishui's eyes revealed intense hatred and his expression turned vicious.

In the past, he didn't have the strength to take revenge.

Now, with the help of the heavens' emissary, Dongfang Bubai, and the fact that he had something on Li Chenzhou, he naturally would not let the other party off easily.

Li Heishui had long thought about his plan.

At the same time, after hearing Li Heishui's words, a hint of anticipation appeared in Lin Wudao's eyes.

He was very curious about how Li Heishui planned to scheme against Li Chenzhou to ruin his reputation.

Whoosh!

With this thought in mind, under the guidance of the Book of All Beings, Lin Wudao brought Li Heishui and walked toward Mystic Moon Lake without anyone noticing.

When they arrived at Mystic Moon Lake, they discovered a Heavenly Cycle realm woman in a palace dress a thousand feet away.

At this moment, she was sitting cross-legged on a bluestone, silently observing the movements around her.

Obviously, she was protecting Luo Qinghan.

"The Heavenly Cycle realm? Looks like this Qingyi Marquis's Mansion is extremely powerful," Lin Wudao thought to himself.

Soon after, with the help of the invisibility jade talisman, he and Li Heishui quietly avoided the detection of the woman in the palace dress and successfully arrived at Mystic Moon Lake.

"Hmm?"

Through God's Spiritual Eye, Lin Wudao saw a beautiful figure in Mystic Moon Lake.

[Name: Luo Qinghan]

[Identity: Eldest young miss of the Qingyi Marquis's Mansion]

[Cultivation: Peak stage of the Innate Sky realm]

…

A lot of information about Luo Qinghan was presented before his eyes.

After reading it, Lin Wudao didn't notice anything strange about her.

On the contrary, the Mystic Moon Lake in front of him caused a hint of surprise to appear in his eyes.

Everything was just as Li Heishui had said. The water of Mystic Moon Lake had the magical power to cleanse one's body and purify spiritual energy.

"If there's a chance, I'd like to give it a try."

Hmm?

Just as he was sizing up Mystic Moon Lake, he suddenly glanced at the shrubs not far away from the corner of his eye. Through the gap, he saw a mysterious figure hiding behind it.

Furthermore, the person was carefully peeping at the Mystic Moon Lake. That person's aura was restrained to the extreme, and ordinary people could not detect it at all.

In addition, due to the fog in the Forest of Delusion, no one could discover his tracks.

If Lin Wudao didn't have God's Spiritual Eye that allowed him to see through all disguises, he wouldn't have noticed that someone was hiding behind the grass.

"It really is Li Chenzhou."

Lin Wudao was interested.

Now, he had already figured out Li Chenzhou's intentions. To think the latter was hiding in the dark and peeping at Luo Qinghan bathing.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect the dignified Eighth Young Master of the Li family to have such a hobby."

This was simply a weirdo.

Similarly, Li Heishui smiled coldly as he looked at Li Chenzhou.

It was as if he had long known that Li Chenzhou was hiding there.

Soon after, Lin Wudao saw Li Heishui carefully approach.

"What do you plan to do?"

"Heh, one is the Young Miss of the Qingyi Marquis's Mansion of the Xia Dynasty, and one is the famous Eighth Young Master of the Heishui Ancient City's Li family. I'm afraid no one would have thought that Li Chenzhou would hide in the dark and peek at someone bathing, right? Moreover, that someone is the young miss of the Qingyi Marquis's Mansion. Emissary Dongfang, what kind of reaction do you think this will cause if this matter gets out?"

Li Heishui smiled evilly.

Huh? He wanted to expose this matter?

Lin Wudao was surprised.

He did not expect that this Li Heishui was such a ruthless character.

Whether it was Luo Qinghan or Li Chenzhou, they were both people of status. If the matter of the latter peeking at the former bathing was exposed, it would most definitely cause a huge uproar.

At that time, Li Chenzhou's reputation would be ruined. Even the Li family would not be able to protect him.

After all, the Xia Dynasty's Qingyi Marquis's Mansion was not to be trifled with.

"Is this your plan?"

"Yes. The Qingyi Marquis's Mansion is highly regarded by the Emperor of the Xia Dynasty. They have a lot of power and prestige there. As the eldest young miss of the Marquis's Mansion, Luo Qinghan is even more extraordinary. As long as this matter is exposed, Li Chenzhou will die. However, I will not let him die so easily."

As he spoke, Li Heishui took out a jade slip that he had prepared long ago and began to record the scene with a secret technique.

Although a fog separated them, they could still vaguely see Luo Qinghan's face and the peeping Li Chenzhou who was in the shrubbery.

Of course, some key parts were coincidentally covered by the lake water.

Regarding this, Lin Wudao felt regretful.

"Done!"

After a while, Li Heishui recorded the scene in detail before he carefully checked it again.

Then, under Lin Wudao's shocked gaze, he quietly arrived behind Li Chenzhou.

At this moment, Li Chenzhou was hiding in the grass, looking at Mystic Moon Lake with great interest.

"Luo Qinghan is truly a peerless beauty. I never thought that I would have the chance to enjoy beautiful scenery like this. If I can get close to such a beautiful person, it would be worth it even if I die."

His expression was filled with yearning.

Seeing this, Li Heishui, who was standing behind him, had a cold smile on his face.

"Since you want to do something to her, I will fulfill your wish."

Boom!

Seizing the opportunity, Li Heishui kicked Li Chenzhou's back.

"Ah!"

The powerful force sent him flying into the Mystic Moon Lake, landing right in front of Luo Qinghan.

134 Companion Treasure, Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror!

"Who is it?"

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

...

The moment Li Chenzhou fell into the lake, Luo Qinghan, who was immersed in her cultivation, immediately woke up. She was like a frightened deer as she looked in the direction of the sound.

Boom!

When she saw Li Chenzhou's face, her beautiful face instantly revealed intense shock.

It was obvious that she had never expected Li Chenzhou to appear here.

Worse than that, she was now naked and Li Chenzhou had seen all of her glory. Luo Qinghan, who had regained her senses, was immediately shocked and furious.

In an instant, her killing intent soared.

"Damn b*stard! Go to hell!"

Boom!

As she spoke, Luo Qinghan raised her hand and slammed her palm down on Li Chenzhou. A ferocious and majestic force swept out like an avalanche.

Seeing this, Li Chenzhou was shocked.

"Shit! She caught me red-handed!"

Whoosh!

Just as Luo Qinghan raised her hand to suppress him, an ancient-looking green bell appeared above Li Chenzhou's head. It cast down thousands of dazzling green lights that protected him.

Thump!

Luo Qinghan's furious strike landed on the large green bell, causing it to ring loudly.

"Pu!"

Even though Luo Qinghan's terrifying attack did not kill Li Chenzhou on the spot due to the powerful defense of the green bell, the huge rebound force still caused Li Chenzhou to suffer relatively serious injuries.

"This b*tch has such terrifying strength. She's at least at the peak stage of the Innate Sky realm. I can't stay here for long. I have to quickly escape."

Crack!

There was no time to think. After successfully dodging Luo Qinghan's hateful attack, Li Chenzhou immediately crushed a mysterious teleportation jade talisman as quickly as he could.

In an instant, he turned into a strange green light and disappeared from where he was.

"Damn it!"

Seeing that Li Chenzhou had successfully escaped from under her nose, Luo Qinghan's beautiful face was filled with unprecedented coldness and frost.

Her eyes were filled with killing intent.

Whoosh!

It was also at this moment that the woman in the palace dress who heard the commotion rushed over immediately.

When she saw Luo Qinghan's fierce gaze, she was shocked.

"Qinghan, what happened?"

"Aunt Yue, someone was hiding in the dark and peeping on me just now," Luo Qinghan said hatefully.

What was that? Someone had been peeping on her just now?

Hearing this, Yue Furong's expression changed instantly. Her sharp eyes swept across the surrounding space.

"Stop looking, Aunt Yue. That person has already escaped," Luo Qinghan sighed.

Hearing this, Yu Furong's expression turned even colder.

"Hmph, how dare he! Qinghan, did you see the face of the person who was secretly peeping on you?"

"Yes."

Luo Qinghan nodded.

Although it had been chaotic just now, she still saw Li Chenzhou's face clearly.

"Who was he?"

"If I'm not wrong, it should be the Eighth Young Master of the Heishui Ancient City's Li family, Li Chenzhou."

Hmm? The Eighth Young Master of the Li family?

In an instant, Yu Furong's eyes were filled with killing intent.

"Qinghan, you go back to the Myth Inn first. I will go to the Li family and seek justice for you. We must find that b*stard Li Chenzhou and kill him. The Qingyi Marquis's Mansion of Xia Dynasty is not to be trifled with."

After saying that, Yue Furong was prepared to rush to the Li family.

However, just as she turned to leave, Luo Qinghan pulled her back.

"Aunt Yue, it's useless. Li Chenzhou is not a fool. Since I've seen through his true colors, he definitely won't dare to return to the Li family. Even if Aunt Yue goes now, you won't be able to obtain anything. Furthermore, this matter concerns my reputation and the reputation of the Qingyi Marquis's Mansion. It's not appropriate for it to spread," Luo Qinghan clenched her fists and said in a deep voice.

"Hmph, are we just going to let it go like this?"

"Of course not. However, the Path to Heaven is about to descend upon the world, and tomorrow is the 800th birthday of the Li family's old ancestor. We are here on behalf of the Qingyi Marquis's Mansion, so we still have to be polite. After the Path to Heaven is over, we'll ask Li Xuandao for an explanation. I bet he won't dare to cover up for Li Chenzhou."

Her cold voice resounded throughout the Mystic Moon Lake.

After saying that, Luo Qinghan waved her hand, and a set of clothes appeared on her body. Then, she took a step forward and disappeared.

"Li Chenzhou, don't let me find you. If I meet you, I swear to make you die without a burial ground."

Yue Furong's eyes were filled with killing intent.

As soon as she finished speaking, she followed closely behind Luo Qinghan.

…

Buzz!

A long time after the two left, Lin Wudao and Li Heishui finally ended their invisibility state and revealed their figures.

At this moment, the corners of Li Heishui's mouth were filled with a smile after his scheme succeeded.

"Are you going to expose this matter once you return to Heishui Ancient City?" Lin Wudao asked with interest.

Regarding this, Li Heishui shook his head.

"No, now is not the time. Tomorrow will be the 800th birthday of the Li family's old ancestor, Li Duantian. At that time, guests will gather. Not only will the influential forces and figures from the Heishui Ancient City and Jiuzhou come to congratulate him, but even the Xia Dynasty will send people over. At that time, I will expose this matter at Li Duantian's birthday ceremony. Let's see how the Li family will deal with it. Moreover, I will bring Li Chenzhou to the birthday banquet. I don't believe that he can still survive then."

Li Heishui's face was cold.

There was only hatred in his eyes, no sympathy or pity.

To achieve his goal, he would resort to any means and pay any price.

Regarding this, Lin Wudao did not say anything.

All of this was Li Heishui's idea and choice. He would not take action or appear.

"Li Chenzhou has already escaped. He definitely won't dare to return to the Li family. How are you going to bring him to the birthday ceremony tomorrow?"

"Don't worry, Emissary Dongfang. I have my ways. "

Whoosh!

Li Heishui smiled mysteriously and took out an ancient square bronze mirror.

Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror?

Lin Wudao's heart trembled as he swept his gaze across the area.

[Name: Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror]

[Level: Divine Item]

[Description 1. An Innate Divine Item in the Great World of Divine Desolation that has evolved over countless eras. It can examine all things in the world and all living beings.]

[2. At the cost of his life, one can see some fragments of the future.]

[3. Li Heishui's accompanying supreme treasure.]

[Note: This item cannot be used by anyone other than Li Heishui. It is useless even if another obtains it.]

…

Information regarding the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror entered his eyes.

After reading it, Lin Wudao exclaimed in admiration.

This thing was even more powerful and heaven-defying than his God's Spiritual Eye.

Especially the fact that one could see some fragments of the future with the mirror.

Just this point alone was something that even the Extreme Dao weapons of the imperial races could not compare to.

"Unfortunately, the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror is Li Heishui's accompanying supreme treasure. Other than Li Heishui himself, no one else can use it," Lin Wudao sighed.

Even he was envious of such an item.

Unfortunately, a divine item could not serve two masters. It would always belong to Li Heishui alone.

"I can't let such a good thing fall into the hands of others. Although I can't get it, I have to think of a way to recruit Li Heishui. If not, I'll kill him."

Lin Wudao would not let go of anyone or anything that could pose a threat to him.

After all, this world was too dangerous. Many wanted to harm him.

…

Li Heishui naturally did not know what Lin Wudao was thinking.

At this moment, he was operating the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror to search for Li Chenzhou.

135 Two Prodigies in One Sect!

"Found him!"

The Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror could examine everything in the world.

...

After Li Heishui's operation, the originally silent ancient bronze mirror blossomed with dazzling light.

Immediately after, a clear image appeared.

At this moment, Li Chenzhou was wearing a black cloak and steering a spiritual boat quickly out of the Heishui Ancient City.

It was obvious that he wanted to take the opportunity to leave.

"It's indeed magical," Lin Wudao couldn't help but exclaim in admiration after witnessing the ability of the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror.

This was indeed a divine item.

At the same time, his divine sense quickly swept across the Heishui Ancient City. Not long after, he locked onto Li Chenzhou's tracks and location.

However, he didn't make a move immediately.

Things were different.

The corpse of the Heavenly Cycle Realm was only enough for him to help Li Heishui head to Mystic Moon Lake. It did not include helping the latter capture and suppress Li Chenzhou.

Therefore, the other party had to pay more.

Seeing that Lin Wudao did not move, Li Heishui seemed to understand something.

"Umm… Emissary Dongfang, can you help me capture Li Chenzhou? I'm willing to offer the corpse of a Heavenly Cycle realm powerhouse as compensation. However, I want him alive," He said carefully.

Hearing this, Lin Wudao nodded.

"Sure. I see that you seem to have a lot of needs. If you have any other wishes or need help, you can tell me all of them now. I'll deal with them in one go."

"Oh, there is one more thing. Around tomorrow morning, the eldest son of the Li family, Li Chengtian, will return to the Heishui Ancient City from outside Jiuzhou. I want to ask Emissary Dongfang to help me kill him," Li Heishui said with a vicious look.

Hearing this, Lin Wudao's expression was indifferent, and there was no fluctuation in his eyes.

"What's Li Chengtian's cultivation?"

"Peak stage of the Innate Sky realm."

"Alright. If you can take out the corpses of two Heavenly Cycle realm powerhouses, I'll help you with this."

"Okay."

Without thinking, Li Heishui directly agreed.

He still had quite a lot of stock from collecting corpses all these years.

Though, after this, his stock was almost at the bottom.

"Go back and wait. In less than an hour, I will bring Li Chenzhou to you alive. You just need to prepare a Heavenly Cycle realm corpse."

After saying that, Lin Wudao ignored Li Heishui's surprise and disappeared in a flash.

Looking in the direction he left, Li Heishui's expression was a little strange.

"Emissary Dongfang is such a strange person. Others like money, but he likes to collect the corpses of powerhouses. I wonder what he uses them for…" He muttered.

Then, he tried to use the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror to check Lin Wudao's information.

However, no matter how hard he tried, there was no reaction from the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror.

"Could it be that he really is heavens' emissary?"

Li Heishui was shocked.

At this moment, he felt a heartfelt respect for Dongfang Bubai.

Even the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror could not display any information about him. The other party's origin must have surpassed his understanding and imagination.

…

Lin Wudao did not know Li Heishui's actions.

Whoosh!

After he left the Forest of Delusion, he went straight in the direction Li Chenzhou had fled to.

On the other side, Li Chenzhou had already left the Heishui Ancient City.

Whoosh!

The moment he flew out of the Heishui Ancient City, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief. His tense mind was also completely relaxed at this moment.

"Finally… It was a close call. It was just too dangerous just now. I was so close to being caught by Luo Qinghan. If I really fell into her hands, I would most certainly die without a burial place. Now, I definitely can't go back to Heishui Ancient City. I should go outside and lie low for a while. I will think of a way after this matter has settled…"

He pondered in his heart.

He still held some respect towards the Qingyi Marquis's Mansion of the Xia Dynasty in his heart.

The other party's power and foundation were even stronger than the Li family's. Moreover, they were highly regarded by the emperor of Xia. They were far from what the Li family could compete with.

If the matter of him peeking at Luo Qinghan's bathing were to be exposed, the Li family would surely not be able to protect him.

The only solution now was to leave Heishui Ancient City. After everything calmed down, he would think of a way to go back…

However, his plans were good, but the reality was cruel.

Rumble!

Just as Li Chenzhou was smugly steering the spiritual boat, an extremely terrifying hand suddenly descended from the sky and shattered the spiritual boat under his feet.

"Dammit, what happened? Could it be…Did Luo Qinghan discover my tracks and catch up to me?"

The sudden turn of events shocked Li Chenzhou.

Crack!

He didn't have time to check the situation carefully. He immediately took out the last teleportation jade talisman and crushed it, wanting to teleport away by force.

"Heaven-Stabilizing Spell!"

The teleportation jade talismans were extremely effective, but unfortunately, Li Chenzhou's pursuer this time was Lin Wudao.

With the Heaven-Stabilizing Spell, Li Chenzhou's body and soul were forcibly locked in place. Even the teleportation jade talisman lost its effect.

Li Chenzhou panicked and was terrified to the extreme when he saw this.

"How did this happen? Who wants to harm me?"

He was scared out of his wits.

Pa!

Just as he was panicking to the extreme, a cold hand landed on his neck from behind. Before he could react, he lost consciousness.

At the same time, Lin Wudao's figure appeared soon after.

"There will be a good show tomorrow."

A mysterious smile appeared on his face.

After saying that, he disappeared in a flash.

…

Whoosh!

A moment later, when Lin Wudao came to Li Heishui's courtyard again, he saw that in the dilapidated courtyard, other than the latter, there was also a beautiful woman who looked intelligent and was like a fairy from the heavens.

At this moment, the two were sitting at a table, chatting and laughing.

The scene was warm and harmonious.

"Li Qingcheng?"

Lin Wudao's eyes flashed with surprise when he saw the beautiful woman.

Then, as God's Spiritual Eye swept across, information about Li Qingcheng entered his eyes.

[Name: Li Qingcheng]

[Identity: True Dragon Academy's disciple]

[Cultivation: Perfection of the Grotto-Heaven realm]

[Aptitude: Excellent]

[Aptitude Bone: Divine King Bone]

[Cultivation Technique: Great Desolation True Dragon Scripture]

[Skills: Seven Stars Sword Art, Great Demon Suppression Hand, Mystic Sword Energy, Treasure Elephant Seal, Mountain and River Seal, Diamond Seal, Spell -Heavenly Fire Meteor, Spell – Earth Reclusive Technique, Spell – Rejuvenation…]

[Treasure: Heaven-suppressing Bottle]

[Fate Energy value: 186,000]

[Remark: Possesses supreme talent in the path of spells. With just a glance, she can instantly comprehend any spell and cultivate it to the realm of Great Success in an extremely short time.]

…

"Another peerless genius?"

Lin Wudao was surprised.

Not only was Li Heishui a son of fate who had fallen into the mortal world, but even his sister, Li Qingcheng, was a rare genius?

Two prodigies in one family.

Even among those ancient aristocratic families, not many could compare to them.

"Could this be the legendary blessed persons? Both of them have supreme treasures. In time, they will most surely become great…" Lin Wudao praised in his heart.

This family was incredible.

"You are…?"

Just as Lin Wudao was sizing up Li Qingcheng, the latter's bewildered gaze landed on him.

Hearing this, Li Heishui, who was at the side, instantly came to his senses and immediately came to Lin Wudao with a respectful expression.

"Emissary Dongfang, you're back?"

"Yes. I have already brought back the person you want."

Bang!

As he spoke, Lin Wudao threw Li Chenzhou to the ground.

Seeing this, Li Heishui's eyes immediately revealed an excited light.

"Thank you, Emissary Dongfang."

As he spoke, he immediately took out three Heavenly Cycle realm powerhouse corpses from his Universe Pouch.

"I'll settle the other matter for you tomorrow morning."

After saying that, Lin Wudao glanced at Li Qingcheng and disappeared.

136 I've Found for a Great Fortune for You!

"Big brother, who was that person just now? I see that you seem to be quite respectful to him."

After Lin Wudao left, Li Qingcheng was silent for a while. Then, she looked at Li Heishui with a puzzled gaze.

...

Hearing this, Li Heishui smiled lightly.

A trace of respect appeared on his face.

"Qingcheng, that person just now was the heavens' emissary in Jiuzhou. His name is Dongfang Bubai. As for his specific identity and background, I'm not sure either. Previously, when I was fishing for corpses in the Black River, a mysterious voice suddenly entered my mind. It said that as long as I use the corpses of powerhouses as sacrifices, I can invite Dongfang Bubai to work for me. I didn't believe it at first. But later, with the intention of giving it a try, I offered the corpse of a Demigod and a shroud from the Heishui River. With that, I managed to invite Dongfang Bubai. What you are seeing now is what I hired him to do for me."

Li Heishui pointed at Li Chenzhou on the ground.

A heavens' emissary? Dongfang Bubai? Using the corpses of powerhouses as sacrifices?

Listening to Li Heishui's narration, Li Qingcheng was greatly surprised. It was the first time she had heard of such a bizarre thing.

Then, her gaze also landed on Li Chenzhou, who was on the ground. When she saw that familiar face, she immediately revealed a shocked expression.

"Li Chenzhou? Big Brother, you invited Dongfang Bubai to suppress Li Chenzhou?"

"Yes."

Li Heishui admitted without hesitation.

"Why do you want to suppress Li Chenzhou? He is the Eighth Young Master of the Li family. If he is discovered, the Li family will surely not let the matter go."

Li Qingcheng looked worried.

In response, Li Heishui snorted coldly.

"Qingcheng, you don't have to worry. The Li family doesn't know about this at all. Moreover, the Li family can't even protect themselves now. After tomorrow, God knows whether they can still exist in the Heishui Ancient City. Even if they know about Li Chenzhou's existence, they won't dare to do anything to us, because I have something on the Li family's life and death."

What? He had something on the Li family?

Hearing this, the shock in Li Qingcheng's eyes intensified.

She had only left for half a year, but when she returned today, she felt that she could no longer see through this big brother of hers.

"Big brother, the evidence you mentioned, is it related to Li Chenzhou?"

"Yes."

"What is it?"

"This… I can't tell you for the time being. This is a grudge between me and the Li family. Don't get involved. Just focus on cultivating."

As he spoke, Li Heishui handed over the ten supreme-grade spiritual stones he had obtained previously to Li Qingcheng.

Supreme-grade spiritual stones?

Li Qingcheng's eyes widened.

As a disciple of the True Dragon Academy, she was very knowledgeable and experienced. Even in the True Dragon Academy, there were no such things as supreme-grade spiritual stones.

Where did Li Heishui get them?

"I earned these supreme-grade spiritual stones from collecting corpses. Previously, I was lucky enough to find an Innate Sky realm corpse in the Heishui River. I sold it to a mysterious young master along with a shroud. The price was originally 100,000 high-grade spiritual stones, but the other party gave me 10 supreme-grade spiritual stones instead," Li Heishui said with a faint smile.

Although 100,000 high-grade spiritual stones were equivalent to 10 supreme-grade spiritual stones, if used for cultivation, the effect of supreme-grade spiritual stones was much stronger.

"Big brother, you really hit the jackpot this time. Even the True Dragon Academy doesn't have supreme-grade spiritual stones, yet the mysterious person who bought your corpses was able to use them for transactions. I'm afraid his identity and background are extraordinary. If we can befriend him, it will be beneficial to you…" Li Qingcheng pondered and said.

Hearing this, Li Heishui smiled faintly.

"That person is mysterious and unpredictable. If I can get a good corpse in the future, I can sell it to him again. Oh right, little sister, I've already obtained a great fortune for you. In a few days, your life and fate will be completely changed. At that time, you will certainly become a successive disciple of the True Dragon Academy. In fact, when the time is right, I'll bring you to a Holy Land to cultivate. At that time, even the Holy Son of that Holy Land won't be able to compare to you."

Suddenly, Li Heishui seemed to have thought of something and said with a smile.

What? He got her a great fortune? A successive disciple of the True Dragon Academy?

Listening to Li Heishui's words and looking at his incomparably serious expression, Li Qingcheng felt that it was quite absurd.

"Brother, don't tell me you… Are you out of your mind? Why are you spouting nonsense? Right now, I'm only at perfection in the Grotto-Heaven realm. If I want to become a disciple of the True Dragon Academy, I need to be at least in the Heavenly Cycle realm. How can I yearn for such status and identity?"

Li Qingcheng shook her head. She didn't believe this unrealistic idea.

Seeing this, Li Heishui only smiled mysteriously and did not explain much.

Now, the Path to Heaven had yet to open, and everything was still unknown. When Dongfang Bubai obtained the Sky-mending Divine Water, that would be the real great opportunity and fortune.

Before the matter was settled, Li Heishui did not elaborate.

"Qingcheng, you returned to the Heishui Ancient City this time for the Path to Heaven, right?"

"Yes. The Path to Heaven is an unprecedented event. It's said that anyone who can knock open the Heavenly Gate will receive a great fortune bestowed by the heavens. Therefore, I came to broaden my horizons," Li Qingcheng replied with a smile.

A hint of yearning appeared in her intelligent eyes.

She was extremely looking forward to this grand ceremony that happened once every thousand years.

"This time around, it will be extremely lively. Oh right, don't tell anyone about the heavens' emissary, Dongfang Bubai, and Li Chenzhou. Don't invite unnecessary trouble, understand?"

"Don't worry, big brother. I won't say anything unnecessary."

She nodded solemnly.

Be it Dongfang Bubai or Li Chenzhou, they could not let the outside world know.

Otherwise, it would most definitely lead to calamity.

She was naturally very clear about the stakes involved.

Li Heishui trusted Li Qingcheng.

Then, the two chatted for a while more before carrying Li Chenzhou's body into the backyard.

…

At the same time, Lin Wudao returned to Myth Inn and summoned Yin Siming.

"City Lord, you were looking for me?"

Yin Siming bowed.

"Yes. From my observation, your lifespan seems to be severely lacking. I'm afraid you won't be able to live for more than three months?"

What?

Yin Siming's heart trembled when he heard this. A look of disbelief appeared in his eyes.

"City Lord, you… You know?"

"Naturally. I won't ask about your past. As long as you do your best and serve me faithfully, I will solve all your troubles. With me around, no one can lay a hand on you."

As he said this, Lin Wudao flipped his hand and handed a jade box to Yin Siming.

"A ten-thousand-year longevity spiritual medicine?" Yin Siming exclaimed.

"This is something I obtained by accident. After consuming it, it can increase your lifespan. Although it is not a rare divine item, it can make up for some of your lifespan. In the short term, your life will not be in danger. As for the future, there will naturally be something better than the ten-thousand-year longevity spiritual medicine. Moreover, once the Golden Pool of Fate is completed, with the help of Fate Energy, it can also improve your condition. It's still the same sentence. As long as you follow me faithfully, you will naturally have a good future," Lin Wudao said calmly.

Hearing this, Yin Siming's eyes were filled with surprise and gratitude.

"Thank you, City Lord. I am willing to die for you!"

Thump!

He kneeled heavily on the ground.

"Alright. If there's nothing else, you can leave."

"Yes!"

Yin Siming bowed respectfully and left the room.

After he left, Lin Wudao immediately began to count his gains and make preparations for his next move.

137 Killing the Eldest Young Master of the Li Family!

First of all, he placed the three Heavenly Cycle realm corpses he had obtained from Li Heishui into the heaven burial copper coffin.

[Ding!]

...

[You have collected Zhao Youwei's corpse and obtained 100 years of lifespan. After the system's tenfold enhancement, you have obtained 1,000 years of lifespan.]

[Unfortunately, you didn't get anything.]

[Unfortunately, you didn't get anything.]

…

He had only gained 1000 years of lifespan from the three Heavenly Cycle realm corpses.

Seeing this, although Lin Wudao was a little disappointed, he did not feel too conflicted. It was always good to be able to increase his lifespan by a thousand years.

After that, He looked at the system interface.

[Name: Lin Wudao]

[Identity: The City of Sin's City Lord]

[Cultivation: Final stage of the Grotto-Heaven realm]

[Aptitude: Excellent]

[Cultivation Technique: Emperor's Scripture of the Primordial Imperial Race, Disaster-Avoiding Ancient Scripture (mortal scroll)]

[Skill: Heavenly Dragon Palm (small success), So Close Yet So Far (extreme Dao realm), Heaven-Stabilizing Spell (major accomplishment), Spirit-capturing Technique (major accomplishment), Great Disguise Technique (major accomplishment), Great Soul-searching Technique (major accomplishment), …]

[Items: Origin Stone, heaven burial copper coffin, corpse map, Great Desolation Cauldron, Great Nirvana Sword Talisman, God-summoning Paper, Heaven Evasion Cloak, Mask of Heavens, Great Five Elements Sword Array.]

[Lifespan: 20,736]

[Fate Energy value: 100,916,400]

…

A lot of information appeared before his eyes.

Looking at the 10-digit Fate Energy value, Lin Wudao could not help but feel a huge sense of accomplishment.

Ever since he started collecting the corpses, he had never seen so much Fate Energy value.

"One billion Fate Energy value should be enough to knock open the fourth heavenly gate on the Path to Heaven, right?"

He calculated in his heart.

"System, how much Fate Energy value do I need to raise the Heavenly Dragon Palm to the major accomplishment stage?"

[Ten million.]

Uh… So much?

Lin Wudao could not help but take a deep breath when he heard this number.

The higher the grade of the divine power or dharma technique, the more difficult it was to cultivate, and thus the more Fate Energy value required.

If he were to rely on comprehending it himself, the time and energy required to cultivate the Heavenly Dragon Palm to the major accomplishment stage would certainly be extremely terrifying.

Therefore, Lin Wudao still chose to rely on the Fate Energy value.

[Congratulations, host. You have consumed 10 million Fate Energy value and successfully cultivated the Heavenly Dragon Palm to the major accomplishment stage. You can now unleash the strength of at least 1,000 ancient heavenly dragons with one palm.]

[Combined with the Invincibility attribute of the Origin Stone, the host can suppress early-stage Heavenly Cycle realm cultivators.]

At least a thousand ancient heavenly dragons?

Lin Wudao nodded in satisfaction.

Such combat strength was already very good.

Coupled with the Great Desolation Cauldron, he wouldn't even need to fear a perfection-stage Heavenly Cycle realm powerhouse.

"Next, I'll just have to wait for the Mad Daoist to arrive. I wonder what place he was talking about?"

Lin Wudao was very curious.

The Mad Daoist was a lunatic. Since he said that the trip to collect corpses was very dangerous, it would surely not be a small matter.

Maybe he really dared to dig up the Li family's ancestral grave.

However, this was just Lin Wudao's wild imagination. As for what the "big thing" they had to pull off was, he would only know when the Mad Daoist arrived.

Thinking of this, he immediately started cultivating quietly.

…Whoosh!

Early the next morning, Lin Wudao left the Heishui Ancient City according to the route shown by the Book of All Beings and went to kill Li Chengtian.

Since he had accepted the request, he would naturally complete it.

He had taken the corpses offered by Li Heishui, so it was a given he had to help the latter and do the job well.

Broken Soul Ridge. It was located 30,000 miles east of the Heishui Ancient City and was famous for being dangerous.

Legend had it that Broken Soul Ridge was a cursed place. Ominous things were hidden within. At least half of the living beings that passed through the Broken Soul Ridge would die inside for no reason.

As time passed, this place had become a peerless place of danger.

Normally, unless one encountered an emergency, one would spend a little more time avoiding the Broken Soul Ridge so as not to be affected by the curse and become one of the dead souls inside.

However, according to the Book of All Beings, Li Chengtian's return route this time would pass through the Broken Soul Ridge.

It was quite apparent the other party was in a hurry.

After all, today was the 800th birthday of the Li family's old ancestor, Li Duantian. As the eldest young master of the Li family and the most outstanding prodigy, he naturally could not be absent.

Therefore, he had no choice.

To arrive at the Li family's residence on time, he could only take a shortcut.

…

100,000 miles away, an ancient and majestic spiritual boat tore through the void like lightning and headed straight for the Heishui Ancient City.

Soon, they arrived at the range of the Broken Soul Ridge.

"Eldest Young Master, the Broken Soul Ridge is right in front of us. It's a land of great danger. To be on the safe side, let's go around it," On the spiritual boat, a guard warned cautiously.

Everyone in Heishui Ancient City knew about the infamous Broken Soul Ridge. The thousands of corpses in it proved that it was an ominous place that contained great terror.

Those who were stubborn and still entered were basically dead.

"But if we go around the Broken Soul Ridge, it will take half a day. By the time I get to the Heishui Ancient City, I'm afraid the old ancestor's birthday ceremony will have ended."

Li Chengtian frowned.

He naturally knew the legend of the Broken Soul Ridge as well. Normally, he would not choose this path. However, he was in a hurry to go back and pay his respects, and crossing the Broken Soul Ridge was the shortest route.

For a moment, he hesitated.

"Eldest Young Master, for the sake of safety, it's best to be careful. It's better to be safe than sorry."

The guard continued to persuade him.

He naturally didn't want Li Chengtian to cross the Broken Soul Ridge. There was no need to risk their lives for that little bit of time.

"Alright then. We will not enter the Broken Soul Ridge. Instead, we will follow the edge of the place. There should not be any problems."

After pondering for a while, Li Chengtian said.

The guard agreed.

Whoosh!

At that moment, the guard carefully steered the spiritual boat and began to fly along the edge of the Broken Soul Ridge at high speed.

However, none of them knew that a pair of eyes had long been watching their every move.

"Is he here?"

Seeing Li Chengtian arrive, Lin Wudao did not hesitate.

Whoosh!

He took a step forward and his figure instantly disappeared from where he was. When he reappeared, he was already on the spiritual boat that Li Chengtian was on.

"Who… Who are you?"

Looking at the mysterious person who had suddenly appeared in front of him, Li Chengtian was instantly shocked.

At this moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of danger and immediately tried his best to resist.

However, Lin Wudao didn't give him that chance.

Boom.

Without any nonsense, Lin Wudao raised his hand and ruthlessly pressed down. The ferocious and peerless strength directly suppressed the other party on the spot.

Then, he twisted the other party's neck.

"Eldest Young Master! Who are you? How dare you kill… Ah!"

At this moment, the guard, who had come back to his senses, let out a heaven-shaking roar.

However, as soon as his voice rang out, Lin Wudao's ferocious hand went toward him. The Heavenly Dragon Palm landed and the guard was blown up.

His body turned into a blood-colored powder that filled the sky.

Lin Wudao was no longer interested in a Myth realm cultivator.

"Next, we will wait for the show to begin."

With that, he put Li Chengtian's body into the system space and returned to the Heishui Ancient City.

…

Bang!

In the courtyard where Li Heishui was, Lin Wudao threw Li Chengtian's corpse at the other party's feet.

"I've already finished your requests."

"Thank you, Emissary Dongfang."

Li Heishui bowed respectfully. His eyes were filled with surprise.

"Oh right. You've given me the Sage's Shroud. Without its protection, I'm afraid you won't be able to go into the Heishui River to retrieve corpses. Are you interested in working elsewhere?"

Suddenly, Lin Wudao seemed to have thought of something and asked Li Heishui.

Working elsewhere? What did he mean?

Li Heishui was puzzled.

"Emissary Dongfang, I wonder what you are talking about…?"

"Oh, it's like this. I think you're not bad. If you continue to stay in this small Heishui Ancient City, I'm afraid you won't have much of a future. I know someone who will surely bring you a brilliant future. If you are willing to work under him, your future will be limitless. You've seen that person before. He's the one who bought the corpse from you. Besides, you only have the first volume of the Ancient Fate Energy Scripture. If you can't find the following volumes, you'll be stuck in the Myth realm for the rest of your life. Not only can that person give you the next volume of the Ancient Fate Energy Scripture, but he can also provide you with a large amount of Fate Energy. This is much better than you robbing others. Plus, that person is a friend of mine. I can guarantee that he will not mistreat you," Lin Wudao said calmly.

It was him?

Hearing this, Li Heishui's heart trembled, and Lin Wudao's face instantly appeared in his mind.

"Emissary Dongfang, can I consider?"

"Sure. Before the Path to Heaven ends, I will wait for your answer."

After saying that, Lin Wudao disappeared.

Only Li Heishui and Li Qingcheng were left standing on the spot in a daze.

138 Netherworld Coffin Shop!

"Qingcheng, do you think I should agree to this?"

After a long silence, Li Heishui turned to Li Qingcheng and asked.

...

Hearing this, Li Qingcheng was stunned at first, but then she nodded thoughtfully.

"Brother, I think you can give it a try."

"Oh?"

"First of all, Big Brother, it's not a long-term solution for you to fish for corpses in the Heishui River. Now that you don't have that shroud, the danger is unimaginable. Besides, if you stay in the Heishui Ancient City, you will only be trapped in a corner of the world forever. Why don't you look at the wider world and head onto a wider stage? Perhaps you will have an extraordinary life?"

"Lastly, Emissary Dongfang is extremely powerful. His means and strength are far beyond our imagination. Since the other party is his friend, he must be no ordinary person. This point can be seen from the fact that that person used supreme-grade spiritual stones for the transaction. Since Emissary Dongfang has given you the invitation, why don't you go and take a look? I don't think Emissary Dongfang would joke with small figures like us…" Li Qingcheng analyzed slowly.

Hearing this, Li Heishui only smiled and did not say anything.

"I will consider it!"

"Oh right, big brother, is this Li Chengtian's corpse? You… You asked Emissary Dongfang to kill him?"

Suddenly, Li Qingcheng pointed at Li Chengtian's corpse on the ground with a shocked expression.

"That's right. I asked Emissary Dongfang to kill him!"

"Big brother, you are…"

"Hmph, it's to avenge father and mother, of course. I once swore that I would make Li Xuandao and his son pay the price in blood. Li Xuandao killed my parents, so I want them dead! Don't go anywhere later. Just obediently stay at home. Leave the rest to me."

After saying that, before Li Qingcheng could react, Li Heishui waved his hand and put Li Chengtian's body into the universe bag.

Then, he strode out of the courtyard.

…

A moment later, after disguising himself and wearing a huge black cloak, he unhurriedly arrived in front of a coffin shop.

Netherworld Coffin Shop.

"What do you need, sir?" A servant in green stepped forward and asked.

"Give me a coffin!"

Pa!

Li Heishui took out ten low-grade spiritual stones and slammed them heavily on the counter.

"What material do you need? The coffins in this store include ordinary ironwood coffins, slightly better bronze coffins, even better Nanmu coffins, and glazed jade coffins…"

"The most ordinary ironwood coffin will do."

"Alright!"

Bang!

The green-robed servant put away the spiritual stones on the counter, then turned and walked into the coffin shop. Soon, he carried out a black ancient ironwood coffin.

"Do you only want the coffin? We also provide all kinds of funeral services, such as playing mourning music, wailing at the funeral, carrying the coffin, taking part in the funeral procession, determining the Fengshui of the tomb, even pretending to be a filial son, and so on. One-stop service at a reasonable price. I guarantee that you'll be satisfied," The servant continued to introduce the services.

Li Heishui listened seriously.

It seemed as if they really were preparing to hold a funeral…

"Sir, our funeral service is definitely second to none in this Heishui Ancient City. Whether it's strength or price, we're honest. We take care of the entire process and guarantee that you'll be satisfied! Of course, the price might be a little more expensive," The servant said with a face full of enthusiasm.

Hearing his words, the corners of Li Heishui's mouth could not help but curl into a smile.

"Is your Netherworld Coffin Shop really that good?"

"Of course! What kind of service do you need? Just tell me. As long as you can put it into words, the Netherworld Coffin Shop will be able to do it for you, and we guarantee your satisfaction. If you're not satisfied, I'll give you a full refund!" The servant patted his chest and said.

Seeing that he said it so seriously, Li Heishui also became interested.

"I do have a funeral that needs to be organized. However, the identity of the deceased is a little special. I am afraid that your Netherworld Coffin Shop will not dare to take this job…"

Hmm? Don't dare to take the job?

"Sir, you have such big words!"

A gloomy sneer suddenly sounded.

Boom!

Under Li Heishui's surprised gaze, a terrifying giant man that was more than ten feet tall and as majestic as a wild dragon appeared behind him.

On his shoulder was an ancient black copper coffin. He looked very fierce.

"And you are?"

"Boss, you're back?"

Just as he was feeling puzzled, the servant respectfully went up to the other party.

The owner of the Netherworld Coffin Shop?

Li Heishui was even more surprised.

The person in front of him did not look like the owner of the coffin shop at all. Instead, he looked more like a lawless and peerless villain.

Just standing in front of the other party, Li Heishui felt a terrifying pressure. His soul started to tremble unconsciously!

"Customer, this is the owner of our Netherworld Coffin Shop, Qin Daofu. You can also call him by his other name: Scavenger. In terms of funerals and helping people clean up trouble, the Netherworld Coffin Shop is a professional. If you have any requests, please feel free to mention them to our boss," The servant chuckled.

After saying that, under Li Heishui's shocked gaze, he easily took the black copper coffin from Qin Daofu and then strode into the Netherworld Coffin Shop.

The entire process was very smooth.

With Li Heishui's knowledge and experience, he could naturally tell that the black copper coffin on Qin Daofu's shoulder was extremely heavy.

He had a feeling that he couldn't carry it at all.

To think a servant of the Netherworld Coffin Shop could do it so easily. What kind of power was this?

In an instant, Li Heishui felt that the seemingly ordinary Netherworld Coffin Shop was not as simple as it seemed.

"Ha, now you know the strength of my Netherworld Coffin Shop, right?"

Qin Daofu seemed to be extremely satisfied with Li Heishui's reaction.

"Brat, you were so arrogant just now. You were saying that there was a funeral that my Netherworld Coffin Shop can't handle, right? Tell me, what kind of service do you need? As long as you can afford it, even if it's the funeral of the emperor of the Xia Dynasty, I'll do it for you," Qin Daofu crossed his arms and said.

Huh? He even dared to host the funeral of the emperor of the Xia Dynasty? Was he not bragging?

While Li Heishui was shocked, his interest was greatly piqued.

"In that case, I'll be frank. The eldest young master of the Li family of the Heishui Ancient City, Li Chengtian, just met with an accident on his way back. I'm his friend, and I want to hold a grand funeral for him so that he can leave this world in peace. I wonder if Boss Qin's Netherworld Coffin Shop dares to accept this business?"

Hmm? Li Chengtian was dead?

Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Qin Daofu's eyes.

He then used a strange gaze to examine Li Heishui.

"In this world, as long as it's funeral, my Netherworld Coffin Shop will accept it!"

"Really?"

"Why? Do you dare to question the strength of my Netherworld Coffin Shop? Just tell me what kind of service you want. Whether it's playing mourning music, wailing at the funeral, carrying the coffin, taking part in the funeral procession, determining the Fengshui of the tomb, even performing an exorcism, and so on, I can do it perfectly for you. If you have any other requests, you can also say them. The Netherworld Coffin Shop will handle the entire process until you are satisfied!" Qin Daofu slapped his chest and said loudly.

He looked very arrogant as if he did not seem to put the Li family in his eyes at all.

Seeing how confident he was, Li Heishui decided to take a gamble.

"Later, I need you to carry Li Chengtian's coffin to the Li family's old ancestor's birthday celebration. How about it? Do you dare to accept the business?"

F*ck! This brat was really ruthless!

A strange light flashed across Qin Daofu's eyes.

"Of course, we'll accept it! Why not? One million medium-grade spiritual stones and I'll help you settle this."

"Guaranteed completion?"

"Of course! If anything goes wrong, come and smash the signboard of my Netherworld Coffin Shop."

"Alright!"

Li Heishui was also a frank person.

He immediately took out one million middle-grade spiritual stones from his universe bag and handed them to Qin Daofu.

Then, he placed Li Chengtian's corpse into the ironwood coffin.

"You guys wait outside the Li family's residence first and listen for my signal."

"Good! You're a frank person. I will definitely help you handle this matter beautifully. If there are any problems, just come and find me."

"Then I'll just wait for Boss Qin's grand funeral…"

After saying that, Li Heishui left without looking back.

…

After he left, Qin Daofu carried the ironwood coffin and entered the Netherworld Coffin Shop.

Soon after, with a flip of his hand, he took out a mysterious yellow paper and quickly wrote with his spiritual energy.

"It's time for work, brothers! Heishui Ancient City, Li family!"

Crash!

A burst of green light flashed, and the yellow paper instantly turned into ashes.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

…

Not long after, ferocious and powerful figures walked out of the void and appeared in the Netherworld Coffin Shop.

Each and every one of them had an excited look in their eyes.

139 Eight-hundred-years-old Birthday Ceremony, Aristocratic Families Arrive!

For Li Heishui, the Netherworld Coffin Shop was a pleasant surprise.

Originally, he had planned to carry Li Chengtian's coffin himself and head to the Li family to participate in the birthday ceremony. However, now that he had coincidentally encountered the Netherworld Coffin Shop, it saved him the trouble.

...

He could tell that the Netherworld Coffin Shop was not simple. It was a good choice to ask them to send the corpse to the Li family.

However, he still needed to handle Li Chenzhou's matter personally.

Thinking of this, Li Heishui pondered for a while and began to try to call out to Dongfang Bubai in his mind.

"Emissary Dongfang, are you there?"

"What is it? Speak."

Myth Inn.

Lin Wudao had just sat down and was about to bring Li Zangtian, Yin Siming, and the others to the Li family to watch the show when Li Heishui's message appeared in the Book of All Beings. This surprised him, but at the same time, he was filled with anticipation.

After all, Li Heishui was his big sponsor.

Every time the other party came to him, he wanted to ask for help.

Since there was a need, it meant that there was a corpse.

Therefore, Lin Wudao was very enthusiastic.

"Emissary Donhgfang, do you still have the invisibility jade talismans you gave me previously?"

"Yes."

"Really? Then can… can you sell me some?"

"A Heavenly Cycle realm corpse per invisibility jade talisman."

"Alright. I want three."

..

Learning that Dongfang Bubai still had the magical invisibility jade talismans, Li Heishui was overjoyed.

He immediately returned to his courtyard as fast as he could. Then, under Li Qingcheng's bewildered gaze, he picked up a hoe and walked toward the backyard.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

"Digging up corpses."

"What? Did you make a deal with Emissary Dongfang again?"

"Yes."

…

Li Heishui responded nonchalantly and waved his hoe hard, digging crazily into the ground.

Not long after, he dug out the last three corpses.

"Sacrifice," He muttered in his heart

Buzz!

In an instant, a strange black hole appeared out of thin air and sucked the three Heavenly Cycle realm corpses into it.

Immediately after, three green jade talismans flew out from the black hole.

Seeing this, Li Heishui grabbed them.

"Qingcheng, keep these two jade talismans well. In the future, if you encounter any danger, crush them."

"Brother, what is this?"

"The invisibility jade talisman. I bought this from Emissary Dongfang. I've already tried it once before. It's very magical. As long as you crush it, you can become invisible. At that time, even a Heavenly Cycle realm expert won't be able to find you. This thing can save lives at critical moments. Remember to keep it well and don't use it easily," Li Heishui warned carefully.

Invisibility jade talisman?

Hearing Li Heishui's introduction, Li Qingcheng's eyes were filled with surprise.

Although she had come into contact with all kinds of mysterious techniques in the True Dragon Academy, this was the first time she had seen something as rare as the invisibility jade talisman.

"Emissary Dongfang is indeed remarkable," Li Qingcheng praised sincerely.

Hearing this, Li Heishui smiled faintly and did not say anything.

Soon after, he gave a few more instructions before taking the unconscious Li Chenzhou out of the house and heading straight for the Li family.

…

At the same time, in the Myth Inn, Lin Wudao summoned Yin Siming and Li Zangtian.

Yin Siming's life aura had become much stronger after he had swallowed the ten-thousand-year-old longevity spiritual medicine.

However, because he had been punished by the forbidden technique of the Tianming Sect, his lifespan, Fate Energy, and cultivation were permanently halved. Therefore, even though he had consumed the ten-thousand-year-old longevity spiritual medicine, it had only increased his lifespan by 50 years.

It was only half of the original effect.

"The forbidden technique of the Tianming Sect is really terrifying," Lin Wudao sighed inwardly.

To think it could permanently reduce a person's lifespan, cultivation, luck, and so on by half. Even Lin Wudao felt a chill run down his spine when he learned of such a mysterious and terrifying power.

If this "punishment" landed on him, he would surely not be able to withstand it even with his Disaster-Avoiding Golden Body in the major accomplishment stage.

"I heard that today is the 800th birthday of the Li family's ancestor, Li Duantian. I believe that there will be many major factions and important figures appearing at the birthday ceremony. You guys can accompany me to join in the fun."

"Yes."

Yin Siming and Li Zangtian bowed in response.

Then, under Lin Wudao's lead, the three of them headed toward the Li family.

…

Li family.

It was located in the east of Heishui Ancient City. The residence occupied more than 10,000 feet. It was a magnificent sight.

With his identity as the City of Sin's City Lord, Lin Wudao easily entered the Li family residence.

The place was full of guests, and the weakest was in the Grotto-Heaven realm.

At this moment, inside the Li family's residence, lanterns and auspicious decorations were everywhere. Drum beats shook the sky, creating a festive and peaceful atmosphere.

The majestic Purple Cloud Hall was filled with laughter.

Everyone had smiles on their faces.

After entering the manor, Lin Wudao glanced in the direction of the Purple Cloud Hall. He saw a spirited old man in red sitting at the head of the hall.

It was Li Duantian.

As the old ancestor of the Li family, his cultivation had already reached the perfection of the Heavenly Cycle realm. He was just one step away from breaking through the shackles and advancing to a higher level.

The Heaven Capture realm!

There were quite a few people like him in the Li family.

From this, it could be seen that the family's foundation was extraordinary.

"Qi Changqing, the Seventh Young Master of the Beihai family, congratulates the Li family patriarch."

Just as Lin Wudao was sizing the old man up, a loud and clear voice suddenly swept over from the distant sky.

Whoosh!

An instant later, a huge spiritual boat tore through the air and entered everyone's eyes with its full boat of congratulatory gifts.

At the same time, a young man in embroidered clothes with an extraordinary aura stood on the spiritual boat.

He was holding a folding fan while smiling. He looked gentle and refined.

At first glance, he gave people a feeling of being approachable.

"The Beihai family is here?"

A wave of restlessness came from the crowd.

"I heard that the Beihai family and the Heishui Ancient City's Li family have always been at loggerheads. I didn't expect them to send someone to congratulate Li Duantian on his birthday," Someone exclaimed in surprise.

After all, both families were located in the Myriad Great Mountain Range and were adjacent to the North Sea. They could be considered enemies. For thousands of years, the conflict between them had never stopped.

Logically speaking, no one from the Beihai family should have come to attend the birthday ceremony.

Yet, they had sent the Seventh Young Master, Qi Changqing.

This was the famous peerless genius of the Beihai family. His cultivation and strength had already reached the final stage of the Innate Sky realm, not far from the peak.

"Ha, they're both hidden factions with thousands of years of heritage. Although they're enemies, they still have to give each other face. "

"Different actions on the surface and in the dark. That's them."

"Actually, compared to the Beihai family, the relationship between the Panlong family and the Li family is even worse. It's almost to the point of being incompatible with each other."

"Do you think the Panlong family will come to the birthday ceremony?"

"I don't think so. The Panlong family is famous for their bad temper. If they come, won't they fight with the Li family?"

"I think so too!"

…

Everyone agreed.

Whoosh!

However, just as they thought that the Panlong family would not appear, the sound of something whistling through the sky could be heart.

Immediately after, a spiritual boat carrying a powerful aura came from afar. On it stood a man with a robust physique, a battle spear in his hand, and a fierce aura.

In addition, behind him was a black-robed elder with a profound aura.

The moment they appeared, everyone present was shocked.

Those who shouldn't have appeared were here.

140 The Five Great Aristocratic Families of Jiuzhou!

"Is the Panlong family really here?"

Everyone was shocked.

...

They had just been discussing whether the Panlong family would appear. They hadn't expected that before they could finish, the people from the Panlong family had arrived.

"Who is this person? He seems to be very fierce…" Someone asked carefully.

"Oh, looking at his posture and attire, he should be the third young master of the Panlong family, Zhao Longxiang. This person is born with divine strength. It is said that he has the strength to fight ten thousand men all at once."

"In addition, he is known to be invincible in the same minor realm."

"They are both at the peak of the Innate Sky realm, but even the eldest young master of the Li Family, Li Chengtian, might not be able to suppress him…"

"Zhao Longxiang? The number one madman in Jiuzhou?"

"Yes, that's him."

…

The surrounding crowd chattered.

At this moment, all the guests, including Qi Changqing of the Beihai Family, and even the experts and clansmen of the Li Family looked at Zhao Longxiang.

"Zhao Longxiang, what are you doing here?"

After a long silence, the current clan leader of the Li family, Li Xuandao, walked out of the Purple Cloud Hall and asked with a dark expression.

His expression was very ugly.

It was apparent he did not welcome the sudden visit of the Panlong family.

However, facing Li Xuandao's cold questioning, Zhao Longxiang turned a deaf ear to it. Instead, the corners of his mouth curled into an arrogant and unruly smile.

"What can I be here for? I'm here to represent the Panlong family to congratulate your old ancestor on his birthday, of course. Why? We came from so far away, and your Li family doesn't welcome us?" Zhao Longxiang teased.

Hearing this, Li Xuandao snorted, "As an aristocratic family of Jiuzhou, if you come to congratulate my old ancestor on his birthday, the Li family will naturally welcome you. However, if you are here to cause trouble, then my Li family is not to be trifled with either."

His words were filled with warning.

Zhao Longxiang simply smiled indifferently.

"Don't worry. Your Li family is shameless, but the Panlong family isn't. I won't do anything rash."

Boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, he flipped his hand and took out a huge mutant beast corpse, smashing it heavily onto the ground.

"The Panlong family congratulates the Li family's patriarch on his birthday. I just killed this mutant beast in the Myriad Great Mountain Range. Take it as a birthday gift. It isn't considered expensive, but I hope senior won't mind…"

His loud voice resounded throughout the Li family.

Green Mountain Hou?

Looking at the huge corpse of the mutant beast in front of the Purple Cloud Hall, everyone cried out in surprise.

"The Green Mountain Hou is an ancient mutant. It's said that it has a trace of the bloodline of the divine beast, the Heaven Shaking Hou. It's extremely powerful, and it's comparable to a Heaven Capture realm powerhouse."

"With Zhao Longxiang's cultivation at the peak of the Innate Sky realm, can he kill such a mutant beast?" Someone questioned.

"Hmph, even a fool knows that it's impossible."

"Do you see the black-robed old man behind Zhao Longxiang? I dare to conclude that this Green Mountain Hou was killed by him…"

"In that case…That person has the terrifying power of the Heaven Capture realm?"

"I'm not sure. However, he is certainly not weaker than the old ancestor of the Li family…"

…

Everyone discussed in low voices.

All of them looked at the black-robed elder behind Zhao Longxiang, their eyes filled with respect.

Similarly, the sudden appearance of Zhao Longxiang and the other person caught Lin Wudao's attention.

[Name: Zhao Jiuyang]

[Identity: Third Guardian of the Panlong family]

[Cultivation: Perfection of the Heavenly Cycle realm]

…

"City Lord, it seems that the foundation and strength of this Panlong family are much stronger than the Li family," Suddenly, Yin Siming's voice rang out.

"Indeed. Zhao Longxiang is only the third young master of the Panlong Family, but his cultivation is at the peak of the Innate Sky realm. The eldest young master of the Li Family, Li Chengtian, also has the same cultivation. In terms of the strength of their children, the Li family is indeed inferior. However, this does not prove that the Li family's power is weaker than the Panlong family. After all, the two families have been fighting for thousands of years. If the Li family did not have any strength and trump cards, they would have been swallowed up long ago," Lin Wudao said indifferently.

Yin Siming nodded in agreement.

What was revealed on the surface was for outsiders to see.

As for how much strength and foundation these aristocratic families had hidden behind the scenes, perhaps only they themselves knew. However, they were surely stronger than they appeared to be.

"By the way, in Jiuzhou, other than the Heishui Family, the Beihai Family, and the Panlong family, are there any other hidden forces or aristocratic families?"

"Oh, there's also the Langya family in the south and the Penglai family on the coast of the East Sea. In Jiuzhou, there are five ancient aristocratic families with a heritage of more than five thousand years. Among them, the Heishui family is ranked last, the Beihai family is fourth, the Panlong family is third, the Langya family is second, and the Penglai family is first. "

"Among the five great aristocratic families, the Penglai family has the longest heritage, as well as the strongest strength and foundation. However, they are more mysterious and very low-key. They have never participated in any conflicts. The Beihai family and the Panlong family are on good terms, while the Heishui family and the Langya family are on good terms. For thousands of years, they have maintained a relatively balanced situation," Yin Siming introduced.

So that was how it was.

Hearing this, Lin Wudao nodded thoughtfully.

"In that case, the conflicts between the aristocratic families are all within a certain range?"

"Yes. Although fighting and killing between aristocratic families is inevitable to compete for resources, it's all within the rules of the game. Because once this balance is broken, it will lead to a crisis. At that time, the aristocratic families will also be toppled. In fact, when one of the aristocratic families is threatened, the others will lend a helping hand. The few aristocratic families have always maintained an extremely delicate situation…"

Whoosh!

Just as the two were talking, another huge spiritual boat sailed over from the distant sky. On it hung the symbol of an ancient sword.

"The Langya Pei family is here," Yin Siming said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Lin Wudao immediately looked in the direction of the sound.

On the huge spiritual boat, not only were there many congratulatory gifts but also more than ten Heavenly Cycle realm experts.

The leader was also a young man. His name was Pei Jianzhi, the third young master of the Langya family.

His cultivation was even stronger than Zhao Longxiang's.

Although he was now still at the peak of the Innate Sky realm, Lin Wudao could see that Pei Jianzhi would be able to break through the shackles and reach perfection in the Innate Sky realm in a month at most.

"The Langya family congratulates the Li family patriarch," His loud voice resounded in all directions.

Seeing this, Li Xuandao's face immediately blossomed with a brilliant smile as he welcomed them with incomparable enthusiasm.

"The Li family is honored to have you here. Please take a seat in the Purple Cloud Hall."

As he spoke, he personally welcomed Pei Jianzhi and turned to walk towards the Purple Cloud Hall.

Seeing this scene, Qi Changqing's expression was calm, but Zhao Longxiang snorted coldly as if he wasn't fond of Pei Jianzhi.

"Will the Penglai family come?" Lin Wudao asked curiously.

"Probably not. The Penglai Family has lived on the coast of the East Sea for generations. When their clansmen travel in the world, they either conceal their names or disguise themselves. They keep a low profile and never participate in any disputes. The 800th birthday celebration of the Li family patriarch can't attract the Penglai family. Perhaps only on the Path to Heaven the day after tomorrow will the people of the Penglai family appear," Yin Siming replied.

"The Xia Dynasty's Qingyi Marquis's Mansion has come to attend the birthday ceremony."

Hmm? Luo Qinghan was here?

Hearing this majestic voice, Lin Wudao's spirit was lifted and he immediately looked up.

Whoosh!

An ancient and exquisite spiritual boat tore through the air, with Luo Qinghan and Yue Furong standing on it.

At the same time, Lin Wudao also discovered Li Heishui. Relying on the effect of the invisibility jade talisman, the latter had quietly come to the residence.

"The show is finally about to begin."

The corners of Lin Wudao's mouth curled up into an expectant smile.

141 Birthday Celebration, Slap in the Face!

"The Qingyi Marquis's Mansion of the Xia Dynasty actually came to the Li family's birthday ceremony?"

Everyone was astonished.

...

Although the Qingyi Marquis's Mansion could only be considered a mid-tier power in the Xia Dynasty, they were much stronger than the Li family of the Heishui Water City.

Furthermore, behind the Qingyi Marquis's Mansion Manor was the Emperor of the Xia Dynasty!

It was said that the Qingyi Marquis's Mansion was highly regarded by the Emperor of the Xia Dynasty and had a bright future ahead.

"Is there a relationship between the Qingyi Marquis's Mansion and the Li family?"

"There should be."

"I heard that the first Qingyi Marquis of the Xia Dynasty once received the help of an ancestor of the Li Family. The latter saved the former's life. Therefore, the relationship between the two families has always been maintained. Although they don't usually interact, there is still some relationship between them."

"I see!"

…

Everyone was enlightened.

At the same time, after sending Pei Jianzhi to the Purple Cloud Hall, Li Xuandao hurried out again and welcomed the Qingyi Marquis's Mansion with a smile.

"It is the Li family's honor to welcome the Qingyi Marquis's Mansion. Niece Luo, please take a seat in the Purple Cloud Hall," Li Xuandao greeted warmly.

However, although Luo Qinghan appeared calm and indifferent in the face of his warm reception, she exuded a cold aura.

Compared to her, Yue Furong's eyes revealed a cold aura. Her gaze toward Li Xuandao was simply icy.

Hmm?

Sensing this coldness, Li Xuandao frowned.

He did not understand how he had offended Luo Qinghan or the Qingyi Marquis's Mansion.

"Niece Luo, you…"

"Clan Leader Li, may I ask if the Eighth Young Master Li Chenzhou is here?"

Li Chenzhou?

Li Xuandao was even more confused when he heard this.

"This … To be honest, I haven't seen Chenzhou in the past two days. However, he should appear at the birthday ceremony later. Niece Luo, why are you looking for him?" He asked curiously.

In Li Xuandao's impression, Li Chenzhou and Luo Qinghan didn't seem to have much interaction. Why did Luo Qinghan specifically ask for him?

"Could it be that there's something I don't know about?" He thought to himself.

Although he was puzzled, he didn't think too much of it.

After inviting Luo Qinghan and Yue Furong into the Purple Cloud Hall, he went to greet the other guests.

…

Thump!

After some time, a majestic bell rang. The long-awaited ceremony finally began.

"The auspicious time has arrived. The birthday ceremony begins! Inviting all the descendants and clansmen of the Li family to pay their respects to Old Ancestor Duantian."

Suddenly, a loud voice resounded throughout the manor.

Whoosh!

As the voice fell, the young masters, direct descendants, and clansmen of the Li Family came to the Purple Cloud Hall one after another. They were prepared to pay their respects to Li Duantian in order.

Li Xuandao glanced at them and immediately frowned.

Out of the nine most outstanding young masters of the Li family, only seven had come.

The Eldest Young Master, Li Chengtian, and the Eighth Young Master, Li Chenzhou, were nowhere to be seen.

Both of them were his sons.

"Chengtian has always been steady. Furthermore, he had sent a message saying that he would arrive this morning. Why is he still nowhere to be seen? Could it be that something happened on the way? And that unfilial son, Li Chenzhou. Today is the patriarch's 800th birthday. Why did he disappear without a trace?"

The more he thought about it, the more Li Xuandao was puzzled.

Hence, he waved his hand and called for the butler, Li Shanhe.

"Why hasn't Chengtian arrived yet? Didn't his message say that he would be here this morning?"

"This… I don't know either. Clan leader, could it be that Eldest Young Master was delayed on the way?" Li Shanhe asked tentatively.

Regarding this, Li Xuandao shook his head.

"Chengtian has a steady personality. He is capable of distinguishing the importance of matters. Besides, even if something did happen, he would've sent a message in advance."

"Patriarch, don't worry. Eldest Young Master will surely be fine."

"I hope so. Oh, right, where's Li Chenzhou? Why haven't I seen him for the past two days?"

"This… Clan leader, I haven't seen any traces of the Eighth Young Master in the past two days either. Ever since Young Miss Luo Qinghan of the Qingyi Marquis's Mansion came, his whereabouts have been a mystery," Li Shanhe replied.

Hmm? Luo Qinghan again?

Li Xuandao frowned even more when he heard this.

Luo Qinghan had just asked him about Li Chenzhou's whereabouts. Now, he learned that Li Chenzhou's whereabouts were mysterious all day long, and it seemed to be related to Luo Qinghan.

This made him wonder what kind of relationship there was between the two.

"Clan leader, the ceremony has already begun, but the Eldest Young Master and Eighth Young Master have yet to return. Why don't we let the other young masters and clansmen pay their respects to the old ancestor first? "

"Mm, that's good too. Immediately send someone to look for them and see if you can find them."

"Yes."

Li Shanhe bowed in response.

As he spoke, he arranged for many people to go out and look for Li Chenzhou.

Li Heishui, who was hiding in the darkness, saw this scene clearly.

"Heh, you want to find Li Chenzhou? You will be able to see him very soon."

It was soon time for him to perform.

…

The Li family did not know about Li Heishui who was secretly plotting against them.

At this moment, in the majestic Purple Cloud Hall, the birthday celebration was in full swing.

"Li Chengyin pays his respects to the ancestor. I wish the ancestor eternal life!"

A man in embroidered clothes with an extraordinary temperament took the lead to come before Li Duantian and kowtowed.

After saying that, he handed over an ancient jade box that contained a 30,000-year-old Dragon Blood Lingzhi. Its rich medicinal fragrance swept through the Purple Cloud Hall.

"A Dragon Blood Lingzhi… Chengyin is so thoughtful."

Li Duantian smiled and nodded. He seemed to be quite satisfied with this birthday gift.

"Li Chengjin greets the patriarch. I wish the patriarch a long and prosperous Dao path."

After Li Chengyin, another man in embroidered clothes with an imposing appearance came before Li Duantian and kowtowed respectfully.

Soon after, he also presented his birthday gift, a high-grade Face-preserving Pill.

After using it, all living beings below the Heavenly Cycle realm would look 300 years younger.

"Chengjin, this item is not bad. I like it very much."

Li Duantian was all smiles.

After all, everyone wanted to look young.

"Li Chengyuan greets the patriarch. I wish the patriarch good fortune and longevity."

"Li Chengyue greets the patriarch. I wish the patriarch…"

"Li Chengshan greets the patriarch."

…

As the ceremony proceeded, the outstanding young masters of the Li Family appeared in front of everyone one after another and respectfully offered their blessings to Li Duantian.

At the same time, they presented their birthday gifts.

"Li Chengfeng pays his respects to the ancestor. I wish that the ancestor will not fall and that he will live forever."

Suddenly, a voice caught Lin Wudao's attention.

Li Chengfeng? The Ninth Young Master of the Heishui Ancient City?

In an instant, Lin Wudao's gaze landed on the other party.

Previously, it was this person who caused him to lose nearly ten million Fate Energy value.

Lin Wudao had always remembered this name.

"If there's a chance, I must make this kid pay back all the Fate Energy value I lost. If he can't, I'll take the Li family's resources as compensation," He secretly calculated in his heart.

Then, Lin Wudao observed the situation of the birthday celebration in the Purple Cloud Hall for a while before turning his gaze to Li Heishui, who was hiding in the dark.

At this moment, the other party had already quietly arrived at the Purple Cloud Hall. Moreover, the corners of his mouth had curled into a cold and evil smile.

"Xuandao, where are Chengtian and Chenzhou?"

At this moment, Li Duantian's doubtful voice rang out in the Purple Cloud Hall.

"Patriarch, Chengtian may have met with some trouble on his way over. He'll only return to the Heishui Ancient City after a while. As for Chenzhou, it is said that he went out to look for a birthday gift for the patriarch and has not returned yet," Li Xuandao said respectfully.

Hearing this, Li Duantian smiled and shook his head.

"These two children are so worrisome. Remember to let me know when they're back."

"Yes. Ancestor, don't worry. If nothing goes wrong, Chengtian and Chenzhou will return very soon…"

Boom!

Just as Li Xuandao's voice rang out, a disheveled figure suddenly fell from the sky and appeared in the Purple Cloud Hall under everyone's watchful eyes.

The figure crashed straight into the ground at Li Xuandao's feet.

142 The Disgrace is Exposed!

Li Chenzhou?

The guests, Li Xuandao, and even Patriarch Li Duantian were all shocked to see the disheveled figure that had suddenly appeared in the Purple Cloud Hall.

...

Li Xuandao had just helped the other party cover up his lie and fool Li Duantian. Who knew that before he could stall for time, Li Chenzhou appeared?

Wasn't this timing too good?

At this moment, everyone present turned their gazes to Li Chenzhou.

Among them, two pairs of eyes were filled with cold killing intent.

"To think Li Chenzhou still dares to return to the Li family? Since you're here today, don't even think about leaving."

Yue Furong's eyes shone with a fierce light.

Similarly, when Luo Qinghan saw Li Chenzhou, her beautiful face darkened. She secretly clenched her fist and a sharp killing intent was brewing.

However, Li Chenzhou knew nothing about all of this.

At this moment, he had just woken up from his unconscious state.

"Hmm? Where am I? Why does this place look so familiar… Uh, father? Old ancestor?"

In a daze, Li Chenzhou opened his drowsy eyes and saw some figures that he did not expect.

"Damn it, this is… Purple Cloud Hall?"

He looked at the familiar surroundings, as well as the familiar faces of Li Xuandao, Li Duantian, and the others. There was even Luo Qinghan among the guests.

Li Chenzhou was scared out of his wits.

"This… How is this possible? Didn't I leave the Heishui Ancient City? Why am I suddenly in the Purple Cloud Hall? Oh right, I remember now. When I left the Heishui Ancient City, I seemed to have been ambushed by a mysterious person. So, I was schemed against?"

Ha!

Thinking of this possibility, Li Chenzhou instantly gasped. A chill ran down his spine.

If all of this was a deliberate scheme, he did not dare to imagine what the consequences would be.

After all, Luo Qinghan was currently in the Purple Cloud Hall.

This time, it was probably impossible for him to escape again.

Moreover, the matter of him peeking at Luo Qinghan bathing could not be exposed. Once it was exposed, not only would he lose face, but the entire Li family would also lose face.

At that time, he would surely die without a burial place. Even the Li family could not protect him.

The more he thought about it, the more Li Chenzhou felt terrified and uneasy.

At this moment, he didn't dare to look up at Luo Qinghan, because he could clearly feel two cold killing intents coming from behind him.

"What should I do? I can't let Luo Qinghan catch me. Otherwise, I'll be finished. "

Li Chenzhou was burning with anxiety.

However, whatever he was afraid of would ultimately come.

Just as Li Chenzhou was panicking and terrified, Li Duantian's voice suddenly rang out.

"Chenzhou, I heard from your father that you went out to look for a birthday gift for me. How did you end up in such a sorry state?"

Hmm? Looking for birthday gifts?

Hearing this, Li Chenzhou's spirits were lifted.

He secretly cast a grateful look at Li Xuandao before nodding his head vigorously.

"Yes, ancestor. I was indeed out looking for a birthday gift for you. Previously, I received the news that someone discovered an auspicious beast in the Myriad Great Mountain Range. It seemed to be an adult white deer. Therefore, I head over immediately to capture the white deer so that I could offer it to the old ancestor to celebrate his birthday. Who would have known that the Myriad Great Mountain Range was so dangerous? I had just found the white deer when I encountered a Heavenly Cycle realm beast. I had to use all my skills to escape. This time, I have disappointed you, old ancestor."

Li Chenzhou pretended to be unwilling.

A white deer?

As Li Chenzhou recounted his story, everyone was shocked.

"Is there really a white deer in the Myriad Great Mountain Range?"

"I don't know."

"I seem to have heard someone mention it before. Since the Eighth Young Master has seen it with his own eyes, it is most likely true."

"The white deer is an auspicious beast that can bring good luck…"

…

The crowd discussed animatedly. Their words were filled with regret.

Li Duantian felt the same.

"An auspicious beast like the white deer is rare in the world. It can only be encountered by luck. For mortals like us to encounter it once is already a great opportunity and good fortune. It's even more impossible to capture it. Chenzhou, I'm already very pleased that you have such intentions. Go back and wash up first."

Li Duantian said with a pleasant expression.

Hearing this, Li Chenzhou felt like he had been pardoned.

"Thank you, ancestor!"

Immediately, he bowed respectfully and prepared to leave the Purple Cloud Hall.

"Fortunately, I have finally successfully dodged this calamity…"

His heart was filled with joy and his pace sped up.

However, just when Li Chenzhou thought he could escape safely, an unexpected and shocking change occurred.

"Heh, you want to leave? Li Chenzhou, enjoy the gift I've prepared for you. Today, even if you have a hundred lives, you will die without a burial place. No one can save you, I said it," In the darkness, Li Heishui whispered.

Crack!

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately crushed the recording jade slip that he had obtained earlier.

Whoosh!

In an instant, a ray of light appeared in the sky above the Purple Cloud Hall.

Finally, under the surprised gazes of the guests, a clear image gradually appeared.

"Eh, what's this?"

"I don't know."

"Could this be the birthday gift Li Chenzhou prepared for Li Duantian? Does he want to give him a big surprise?"

"It's possible. We'll know after we see it."

"I wonder what Li Chenzhou has prepared."

…

Everyone revealed curious expressions.

At the same time, not only them, but even Li Xuandao and Li Duantian looked up into the sky.

"My son has such thoughts? Does he want to give the patriarch a surprise? I'd like to see what else this kid has prepared other than that illusory white deer."

Li Xuandao was curious.

Whoosh!

At this moment, everyone in the Purple Cloud Hall focused their gazes on the sky.

However, as the scene unfolded, they quickly discovered that something was wrong.

Because the scene was clearly a lake. Most importantly, someone was bathing in the lake.

This was the birthday gift prepared by Li Chenzhou?

Everyone was shocked.

For a moment, the expressions and gazes of the guests were extremely strange.

The Panlong family and Beihai family, who had always been on hostile terms with the Li Family, revealed gloating smiles when they saw the contents of the screen.

"Hehe, I didn't expect the Eighth Young Master of the Li family to have a strange hobby of peeping at people bathing? Furthermore, he even specially recorded the scene as a birthday gift. Could it be that you want to invite us to watch it together? Or do you want to let your old ancestor admire this scene?" Zhao Longxiang, who was fearless, laughed loudly.

"Bastard!"

As his voice rang out, Li Duantian was instantly enraged.

Boom!

A powerful aura suddenly surged out toward Zhao Longxiang. However, it was easily suppressed by Zhao Jiuyang behind him.

"What my young master said is the truth. It seems that he has hit your sore spot," Zhao Jiuyang laughed.

Hearing this, Li Duantian was shocked and furious. His fierce eyes coldly swept across Li Chenzhou.

However, at this moment, Li Chenzhou couldn't care less about Li Duantian's anger.

Rumble!

When he saw the scene that appeared in the sky, he immediately felt a bolt from the blue and his mind went blank.

That was because the video recorded him peeking at Luo Qinghan's bath at the Mystic Moon Lake.

At this moment, it had been exposed in public.

"This… This… How is this possible? Damn it, who is the one who is trying to harm me? Who is it?" Li Chenzhou roared hysterically in his heart.

At the same time, not far away, Luo Qinghan's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Li! Chen! Zhou!"

A monstrous killing intent surged toward Li Chenzhou like a flood.

After saying that, she raised her hand and struck out with her palm, wanting to shatter the scene in midair.

However, just as she made her move, the scene in the air froze on her face and Li Chenzhou's face. Their faces were clearly seen at this moment.

Boom!

For a moment, everyone's eyes widened.

In the Purple Cloud Hall, one could hear a pin drop.

143 I Want You to Kill Your Son as an Apology!

How was this possible? Li Chenzhou was actually peeking at Luo Qinghan bathing?

The surprise came too suddenly.

...

All the guests were stunned by this sudden scene. They would never have thought that this so-called "birthday gift" would be so explosive.

Li Chenzhou was the Eighth Young Master of the Li family. How could he do such a shameless thing?

At this moment, everyone in the Purple Cloud Hall fell silent and looked at Li Chenzhou in disbelief.

"Who is that bastard trying to harm me in the dark?"

Faced with everyone's strange gazes and sneers and mockery, Li Chenzhou instantly felt ashamed and his face burned.

His heart was filled with endless humiliation.

Now, it was as if he had been stripped naked.

The fact that the matter of him peeking at Luo Qinghan at Mystic Moon Lake was exposed had made his reputation and face completely lost.

At the same time, the entire Li family's reputation was also ruined.

From now on, as long as someone mentioned this matter, they would think of him.

At that time, he and the Li family would become the laughingstock of the world.

At the thought of this, Li Chenzhou felt endless fear.

"Ha, I really didn't expect that the dignified Eighth Young Master of the Heishui Ancient City would do such a shameful thing. This hobby is just strange."

At this moment, Zhao Longxiang laughed loudly again.

He had, of course, not come to congratulate Li Duantian on his birthday. Given the bad relationship between the two families, he naturally had to disgust the Li family.

Similarly, Qi Changqing from the Beihai Family nodded in agreement.

"Eighth Young Master's actions are indeed impressive. From now on, we should all have a new understanding of the Eighth Young Master," He said leisurely.

The two echoed each other, causing Li Xuandao and the others to be furious.

If looks could kill, Zhao Longxiang and Qi Changqing would have been cut into pieces long ago.

The two simply turned a blind eye to those angry gazes and continued as they pleased.

However, they said words of mockery and didn't do anything else because this matter involved the Qingyi Marquis's Mansion. Although they were happy to slap the Li family in the face, if the latter offended the Qingyi Marquis, the gains would not make up for the losses.

Therefore, after enjoying mocking the Li family for a while, the two tacitly fell silent. Their gazes fell on Li Chenzhou, Li Xuandao, and the others.

At this moment, everyone was very curious about how the Li family would deal with this matter.

"Li Xuandao, the Li family has to give us an explanation for this matter. Otherwise, the Qingyi Marquis's Mansion is not to be trifled with either," Yue Furong said with killing intent.

Hearing this, Li Xuandao's body trembled as he clenched his fists.

He was extremely angry with the person who schemed against the Li family behind their backs.

However, he did have to explain this matter. Otherwise, the Qingyi Marquis's Mansion wouldn't let them go.

"Bastard, hurry up and apologize to Miss Luo!"

Boom!

Enraged, Li Xuandao kicked Li Chenzhou to the ground and roared.

Hearing this, Li Chenzhou ignored the pain in his body and rushed to Luo Qinghan as fast as he could. Then, he knelt in front of everyone.

"Please forgive me, Miss Luo. Forgive my unintentional mistake."

Li Chenzhou kowtowed heavily. His attitude was very sincere.

However, faced with his kowtow and apology, both Luo Qinghan and Yue Furong's cold and murderous expressions did not soften in the slightest.

"Li Xuandao, your son has done such a shameless thing. Do you think it can be resolved with a mere apology? Aren't you too naive? Could it be that you really think that my Qingyi Marquis's Mansion is easy to bully?"

Yue Furong's killing intent soared.

As she spoke, she took out an Imperial Dao ancient spiritual weapon with a flip of her hand. It was as if she was going to start a massacre if there was any disagreement.

Seeing this, Li Xuandao's expression darkened.

"Then what do you want?"

"Li Chenzhou must die! This matter has already been exposed. It won't be long before it will cause a storm in the city. What will happen to my young miss? What about the dignity of the Qingyi Marquis's Mansion? Therefore, Li Chenzhou must die to atone for his sins. Not only that but to show the sincerity of your Li family's apology, Li Xuandao, you must personally kill Li Chenzhou! Only then can the hatred of the Qingyi Marquis's Mansion be resolved," Yue Furong said coldly.

What was that? She wanted Li Xuandao to kill Li Chenzhou with his own hands?

Hearing this, everyone present was shocked.

"Ha, isn't this too ruthless?"

"She doesn't accept any apology and is even demanding that he kill his son. She's indeed ruthless."

"I think it's reasonable."

"Once this matter is exposed, Luo Qinghan's reputation and the dignity of the Qingyi Marquis's Mansions will be severely damaged. If I were the Qingyi Marquis, I would probably immediately attack the Li family."

…

Everyone chattered.

On one hand, they were shocked by Yue Furong's ruthlessness. On the other hand, they felt sympathy and pity for the Li family.

Having an unfilial son like Li Chenzhou was simply the family's misfortune.

If they didn't handle it well, the Li family would be finished.

"Yue Furong, isn't your request a little too unreasonable? My son didn't do it on purpose, and you want his life?"

Li Xuandao was trembling with anger.

Even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs. How could he kill his son?

"So, the Li family is not willing to apologize?"

Yue Furong narrowed her eyes.

"I'm sorry, but I can't kill Li Chenzhou!" Li Xuandao replied coldly.

Boom!

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene immediately became tense.

"Very well. In that case, I can only return and report this matter to the Marquis. I'll ask the Marquis to report to the Emperor of Xia and ask the Emperor to uphold justice. I don't believe that a mere Heishui Ancient City can rebel against the heavens."

After saying that, Yue Furong was about to leave with Luo Qinghan.

What? Report the matter to the Emperor of Xia?

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.

Especially the members of the Li family, who were all panicking and terrified.

If they acted according to Yue Furong's request, only Li Chenzhou had to die. However, if this matter were to be reported to the Emperor of Xia, it would be a huge deal.

At that time, Not only would Li Chenzhou die, but the Li family would also be annihilated.

"Wait!"

Seeing that Yue Furong and Luo Qinghan were about to leave, Li Duantian's voice suddenly rang out in the Purple Cloud Hall.

He walked out with a cold expression.

"Li Chenzhou's actions are indeed unforgivable. He must be sentenced to death."

"Old ancestor!"

Li Xuandao and Li Chenzhou cried out in shock.

However, Li Duantian ignored them.

Ding!

With a wave of his hand, a long sword appeared under Li Xuandao's feet.

"Do as Yue Furong says and kill Li Chenzhou."

His unquestionable voice slowly sounded.

Hearing this, Li Xuandao's eyes widened as his body trembled.

As for Li Chenzhou, he was scared out of his wits.

"Old ancestor, you can't kill me, you can't kill me! Father, save me! I don't want to die!"

He knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.

Seeing this, Li Xuandao clenched his fists tightly, his eyes about to pop out of their sockets.

"Why aren't you making a move?"

A roar shook everyone's soul.

Li Duantian didn't care whether Li Xuandao was willing or not. He immediately used his powerful strength to forcefully control Li Xuandao's body and ruthlessly slashed at Li Chenzhou.

"Ah!"

With a scream, Li Chenzhou's head flew high into the air.

With that, he was completely dead.

144 Carrying a Coffin to Celebrate the Birthday!

"Chenzhou!"

Seeing Li Chenzhou beheaded, Li Xuandao's eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and his heart was filled with extreme grief.

...

That was his biological son!

Now, just like that, he had died tragically in front of him.

A parent faced with their child's death… No one could accept this.

For a moment, Li Xuandao, who had suffered endless grief, was dazed on the spot. He looked at Li Chenzhou's cold corpse on the ground as his body trembled.

There was not the slightest bit of life in his eyes.

At the same time, Li Duantian, the old ancestor of the Li family, took a deep breath to suppress the grief in his heart. Then, he pretended to be calm as he looked at Luo Qinghan and Yue Furong.

"Miss Luo, the culprit Li Chenzhou has been executed. Are you satisfied with the Li family's punishment?"

His calm voice slowly sounded.

Hearing this, Luo Qinghan remained expressionless and did not speak.

On the contrary, Yue Furong snorted coldly.

"Such a b*stard deserves to die. Regarding this matter, I will report it truthfully to the Marquis. If the Marquis is satisfied, he will naturally not pursue the Li family. If Lord Marquis is not satisfied… Hmph!"

After saying that, Yue Furong ignored the anger and grievances of Li Duantian and the others. She immediately brought Luo Qinghan and left the Li family.

…

"That woman doesn't look like a good person." Someone sighed.

Li Chenzhou had obviously been forced to his death by Yue Furong.

Furthermore, it was not over even if he died.

Yue Furong still chose to report this matter to the Qingyi Marquis. If the Qingyi Marquis was not satisfied with this result, wouldn't Li Chenzhou have died for nothing?

Thinking of this, everyone sighed.

"Sigh, this is the Li family's misfortune."

"All of this is because of Li Chenzhou. I hope it will end with his death too…"

"The joyous birthday ceremony has turned into a time of great sorrow."

"The Li family chose the wrong day…"

…

All kinds of discussions sounded.

At this moment, the onlookers all sympathized with the Li family's misfortune. The old ancestor's 800-year-old birthday was supposed to be a joyous occasion. Now, it had turned into a tragic matter.

It could be said to be a great misfortune.

…

"City Lord, this must be a deliberate scheme. Their goal is either to kill Li Chenzhou or to destroy the Li family," Yin Siming whispered.

As he spoke, he calmly glanced at where Li Heishui was.

Thanks to the Eye of Truth, Li Heishui's tracks naturally could not be hidden from his eyes.

"This matter has nothing to do with us. No matter how much chaos they're in, it won't fall on us. We just need to watch the show quietly. Moreover, I suspect that this is only the beginning. Perhaps the more exciting part is yet to come," Lin Wudao smiled faintly.

Hmm? Was forcing Li Chenzhou to death just the beginning? Would there be something more tragic than this?

Yin Siming was surprised. Although he was curious about how Lin Wudao knew, he didn't dare to ask.

He just stood at the side and quietly watched the development of the matter.

"Men, collect the Eighth Young Master's corpse and find a good place to bury it."

After a moment of silence, Li Duantian called over a few guards and instructed.

"Yes."

The guards bowed in agreement.

Immediately, they carefully collected Li Chenzhou's body and then respectfully retreated.

It was only at this moment that Li Duantian turned around and looked at the guests present.

"I'm sorry. We've made a fool of ourselves. It is truly unfortunate for the Li family to have a scum like Li Chenzhou. Today's ending is all his fault. We hold no grudges against anyone. From now on, I hope that the descendants and clansmen of the Li family can be careful with their words and actions, restrain their actions, and think twice before doing anything. Don't make the same mistake. If anyone dares to break the rules, they will be killed without mercy!"

His voice filled with killing intent swept through the residence, scaring the Li family members so much that they trembled.

They had been implicated in Li Chenzhou's matter.

"Alright. If there is nothing else, today's birthday celebration will end here. Everyone can leave."

As he spoke, Li Duantian waved his hand and prepared to leave.

Since such an unfortunate thing had happened during the birthday celebration, he was so angry that his lungs were on the verge of exploding. How could he still have the mood to celebrate his birthday?

Everyone could understand Li Duantian's feelings.

Immediately, they stood up to bid farewell and leave to avoid getting into trouble again.

Li Duantian wanted to end things here, but how could Li Heishui, who was hiding in the darkness, let him?

He had waited many years for this day. Naturally, he would not let the opportunity go so easily.

Whoosh!

Just as Li Duantian announced the early end of the ceremony, a firework whistled into the air and exploded in mid-air.

What was going on? Who would set off fireworks in broad daylight?

This sudden scene caused everyone to look over at the same time.

…

Outside the Li family residence, according to Li Heishui's instructions, Qin Daofu had already organized twelve powerful men to carry Li Chengtian's coffin and wait for a long time.

"Brothers, let's get to work!"

Qin Daofu, who was resting, immediately woke up when he saw the firework rising from the residence.

Whoosh!

At the same time, the others also came to their senses.

"Brothers, blow the instruments, roar, and sing! This is the first big business we've received in the Heishui Ancient City. We can't let anything go wrong. We have to satisfy our customers. Those who are supposed to wail, those who will be working in the funeral procession, those who are beating the gongs, those who are beating the drums, all of you better be more energetic. We have to create an extreme atmosphere! We are here for the funeral procession, understand? The Li family is right in front. Let's go!" Qin Daofu shouted.

As he spoke, he carried a specially made wreath and led the crowd.

At the same time, waves of wails sounded incessant.

"Boohoo, Young Master Li, you died a miserable death."

"The heavens don't bless you, Young Master Li! The heavens don't bless you…"

"Young Master Li, my Netherworld Coffin Shop was entrusted by someone to send you off. I hope that after you reach the netherworld, you can be reincarnated into a good family and be a good person in your next life."

"Such a pity, the Young Master Li! Such pain, the Young Master Li! Sob…"

…

Those who specialized in crying at funerals cried in grief, as professionals would.

The appearance of Qin Daofu's group immediately attracted the attention of a large number of cultivators. All of them widened their eyes, and their faces were filled with surprise and confusion.

"What happened? Young Master Li is dead? Which one?"

"I don't know."

"Could it be that a young master of the Li family has died? Are they heading to the Li family to hold a funeral?"

"I just received news that the Eighth Young Master of the Li family, Li Chenzhou, has died."

"What? Really?"

"Look, they're really heading towards the Li family."

…

The crowd discussed animatedly.

As Qin Daofu and the others advanced, they followed with shock and curiosity.

Not long after, they arrived at the entrance of the Li family.

At the same time, Li Duantian and the others in the residence had also heard the commotion outside. Their eyes revealed a look of surprise.

It was apparent they didn't know what had happened either.

"It seems that… Is someone holding a funeral?" someone asked in surprise.

"I heard them crying for Young Master Li? Could it be… Are they holding Li Chenzhou's funeral?"

"No way, the Li family is so quick?"

"Li Chenzhou's death isn't something to be happy about for the Li family. They definitely wouldn't make such a big deal out of it. Could there be a mistake?"

"Look, it's the people from the Netherworld Coffin Shop. They have entered."

"F*ck, it really is."

…

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Accompanied by the earth-shaking sounds of gongs and drums, as well as the loud wails, twelve burly men who were as muscular as tyrannosaurus carried an ironwood coffin and walked in under Qin Daofu's lead.

Seeing this, Li Duantian and the others were instantly furious.

145 Holding a Funeral Procession for the Eldest Young Master

"Patriarch Li, my condolences."

Qin Daofu walked straight to Li Xuandao and said regretfully.

...

After saying that, he raised his hand, and the wailing, gongs, drums, and coffin procession behind him all stopped. Everyone wore solemn expressions on their faces.

"Netherworld Coffin Shop. I've been entrusted by someone to arrange Young Master Li's funeral. Bow."

As he spoke, Qin Daofu led his brothers and bowed to Li Xuandao with a sincere attitude to express their condolences.

Huh?

Not only was Li Xuandao stunned by this scene, but all the guests present also revealed stunned expressions.

"The Li family invited someone over to hold the funeral? So fast?" Someone asked in surprise.

"Did they know that Li Chenzhou was going to die, so they made preparations in advance?"

"Impossible!"

"I know these people. They're from the Netherworld Coffin Shop. They specialize in handling all kinds of funerals. Other than that, they also help people clean up trouble. Therefore, they are also known as the Scavengers."

"Uh, the Netherworld Coffin Shop? Who invited them? They are very well-informed."

…

Everyone was shocked.

Li Chenzhou had just died, and his body was still warm. Had the Netherworld Coffin Shop received the news so quickly?

Furthermore, who was it that invited them over to hold the funeral?

Everyone wanted to get to the bottom of this. The Li family was also extremely confused.

"Netherworld Coffin Shop? How did you know that my son, Li Chenzhou, is dead? And who invited you here to handle the funeral?" Li Xuandao said coldly with a gloomy face.

He had yet to recover from the grief of Li Chenzhou's death and was now faced with the sudden appearance of the funeral team. This made him feel extremely angry.

In his opinion, someone must be deliberately humiliating the Li family.

Today, he had to find the mastermind behind the scenes!

However, what he didn't know was that the culprit of this series of events was in the Purple Cloud Hall.

At the same time, Li Heishui, who was hiding in the darkness, smiled when he saw the scene Qin Daofu had created.

"Looks like this Netherworld Coffin Shop is quite reliable. The funeral expenses of one million middle-grade spiritual stones were not wasted."

He was very satisfied with Qin Daofu's work.

…

Hmm? Li Chenzhou?

On the other side, Qin Daofu was stunned by Li Xuandao's cold question.

He had a strange look on his face.

"Clan Leader Li, we are not here to handle Li Chenzhou's funeral. We are here for another young master of the Li family."

What was that? Another young master of the Li family had died?

Hearing this, the surrounding guests burst into an uproar.

Whoosh!

In an instant, they all looked in the direction of Li Chengfeng and the others.

They only saw seven young masters.

"Most of the young masters of the Li family are here. Other than the dead Eighth Young Master, Li Chenzhou, there is only the Eldest Young Master, Li Chengtian…"

"F*ck, it can't be?"

"The Eldest Young Master Li Chengtian is also dead?"

…

Everyone was stunned by this speculation.

This was especially so for Li Xuandao. His heart fell into a bottomless abyss.

"You… You just said… What did you just say?" He pointed shakily at Qin Daofu.

"I said, we are not here to hold Li Chenzhou's funeral. We are here on behalf of someone to send off the eldest son of the Li family, Li Chengtian. Now, his corpse is lying in this coffin."

Boom!

After receiving Qin Daofu's confirmation, Li Xuandao immediately felt like a bolt of lightning had struck him, and his mind instantly went blank.

As for the others, they were all dumbfounded.

What did they hear? The eldest young master of the Li family, the number one genius, Li Chengtian, had died?

He was in this coffin? What?

At this moment, everyone gasped, and their faces were filled with shock.

"No! This is impossible! It's impossible! My son, Li Chengtian, is on his way back! How could he have died? You bunch of damned bastards, stop spouting nonsense here! I don't believe it!" The agitated Li Xuandao roared hysterically.

Boom!

After saying that, he raised his hand and pressed out fiercely. The powerful force shattered the ironwood coffin.

In an instant, a cold corpse entered everyone's eyes.

"It's indeed Eldest Young Master Li Chengtian!"

Seeing the familiar face of the corpse, the guests widened their eyes in disbelief.

It wasn't just them. Even the faces of Li Chengyin and the others, as well as Old Ancestor Li Duantian, who were standing in the distance, turned pale. They simply could not believe that this was real.

"Why… How could this be? It's really big brother?"

The young masters were shocked.

Originally, they had all thought that this was just a joke and farce. Who knew it was true?

Li Chengtian was dead!

"This… How did this… Maybe…"

Looking at the extremely familiar face in the ironwood coffin, Li Xuandao felt an unprecedented sorrow sweep through his body.

"Who dared to kill my son?! Pu!"

Li Xuandao's spirit was severely injured by his anger. He immediately spat out a large mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.

The aura on his body was weakening at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Clan leader!"

"Clan leader!"

…

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

Seeing Li Xuandao vomit blood in anger, the Li family members turned pale with fright.

Immediately, they surrounded him at the fastest speed, their eyes filled with concern and worry.

"Quick, bring him down to rest."

Li Duantian ordered in a deep voice after feeding Li Xuandao a pill to stabilize the latter's aura.

After saying that, his cold eyes landed on Qin Daofu and the others.

"Who asked you to hold the funeral procession?"

"Well… The Netherworld Coffin Shop deals with the dead. It's our business to handle funerals and send people to their graves. As for the client, this is our trade secret and cannot be disclosed. After all, we have principles," Qin Daofu said seriously.

Trustworthiness was the most important thing in doing business.

He knew this.

However, the moment he said this, he directly angered Li Duantian.

"Hmph, you won't tell me? Since you don't want to tell me, then go to hell!"

Boom!

With a heaven-shaking roar, Li Duantian immediately sent a palm toward Qin Daofu.

At this moment, he vented all his grief and anger from the deaths of Li Chenzhou and Li Chengtian on Qin Daofu.

Did he want to kill him?

Seeing this scene, Qin Daofu could not help but frown.

"I'm sorry, but we were only entrusted by someone to hold Li Chengtian's funeral procession. We don't want to have any conflict with you. Since the matter has been settled, we should leave. In addition, you are too weak. You are not worthy of me making a move," Qin Daofu said indifferently.

After saying that, he waved his hand gently in Li Duantian's direction. In an instant, Li Duantian's ferocious and peerless attack vanished into thin air.

At the same time, Li Duantian seemed to have suffered a huge impact as he flew backward.

How was this possible?

This scene stunned everyone.

Li Duantian was an expert at the perfection of the Heavenly Cycle Realm. Yet, Qin Daofu had suppressed him with just a gentle wave of his hand! Wasn't this too terrifying?

"Is this person a Heaven Capture realm cultivator? "

Everyone was shocked.

"Brothers, let's call it a day. Let's go back and split the money!"

Ignoring everyone's shock, Qin Daofu waved his hand and immediately led his brothers out of the Li family residence.

Very quickly, they disappeared before everyone's eyes.

…

"Netherworld Coffin Shop? This person is quite interesting."

As he watched Qin Daofu's departing figure, a smile appeared on the corners of Lin Wudao's mouth.

Through God's Spiritual Eye, he learned many interesting things.

To think Qin Daofu belonged to the Terminator organization as well. Other than the nickname of "Scavenger", he also had a title exclusive to the organization: Netherworld Terminator.

"According to the Mad Daoist, the Terminator organization is made up of extraordinary people who possess incredible powers and abilities. Now it seems that it's true. This Terminator organization is definitely more mysterious and powerful than I imagined. If I have the chance, I must see it for myself…" He muttered softly.

Then, seeing that there was nothing more to see in the Li family, he immediately left with Yin Siming and Li Zangtian.

146 Li Xuandao's Death!

"Everyone, please disperse."

After Lin Wudao left, Li Duantian looked at Li Chengtian's corpse and forcefully suppressed the sorrow in his heart. Then, he spoke to everyone weakly.

...

Everything that happened today could be said to be the great misfortune of the Li family.

In the past 5,000 years, the Li family had never suffered such a huge humiliation and blow. In one day, they had lost two outstanding young masters.

Moreover, the clan leader was also unable to recover.

This birthday ceremony could be said to be a huge blow to the Li family.

It was imaginable that it would not be long before today's matter would spread throughout the entire Heishui Ancient City, and even inside and outside Jiuzhou.

At that time, the Li family would surely become the joke of the world.

Regarding this, although Li Duantian's heart was filled with anger and sighs, he was unable to change the situation.

"Who exactly is scheming against my Li family? First, it was Li Chenzhou, then it was Li Chengtian. Why do I feel like someone is deliberately targeting Li Xuandao? Could it be that one of his enemies did it? To be able to possess such unfathomable methods, it seems that the other party is no ordinary person…"

He frowned.

He pondered the identity of the mastermind, but no matter how he thought about it, he had no clue.

Li Duantian sighed deeply.

"Men, collect Li Chengtian's body and find a good place to bury him."

"Yes."

A few guards walked out from the crowd.

Soon after, they carefully collected Li Chengtian's corpse and retreated respectfully.

"Recently, unless necessary, try not to leave the family to avoid attracting trouble. I have a feeling that someone is plotting behind all of this. For the sake of safety, everyone should be careful."

"Yes."

The group of Li family members bowed in agreement.

Following this, with all sorts of thoughts, they gradually left the Purple Cloud Hall.

Not long after, the originally noisy Purple Cloud Hall was desolate.

After they left, Li Heishui also used the magical ability of the invisibility jade talisman to leave the Li family without anyone noticing and returned to his residence.

Whoosh!

What they did not know was that just as everyone left one after another, a sneaky figure suddenly sneaked into the Li family residence with the help of the invisibility jade talisman.

Furthermore, he followed them to the courtyard where Li Xuandao was.

"Sigh, I'm still a step too late. I missed the best time to watch the show. I believe Brother Ren has already arrived at the Heishui Ancient City. I wonder where he is now? After I kill Li Xuandao, I have to contact him as soon as possible. The Path to Heaven is about to descend into the world. I have to complete the big job before that," The mysterious man muttered.

He was wearing a large black cloak and on his face was a mysterious ghost mask. His appearance was somewhat similar to Lin Wudao.

This person was none other than the Mad Daoist whom Lin Wudao had arranged to meet.

He had hurried over, but he was still a step too late. He did not see the wonderful show that the Li family had just put on.

For this reason, the Mad Daoist felt extremely regretful.

However, although he was a little unhappy, he did not forget about the important matter.

"According to my plan, I have to kill a big shot of the Li family, and it's best if it's an old ancestor. Hmm, since Li Xuandao's mind has been severely injured and he's crippled now, I might as well kill him. Once he dies, my plan will be considered half-successful. Then, I can inform Brother Ren to collect corpses, hehe…"

Whoosh!

He silently entered Li Xuandao's room.

At this moment, Li Xuandao, who had suffered a huge blow and was spiritually heavily injured, was lying unconscious on the bed.

At the same time, members of the Li family were taking good care of him next to the bed.

"With so many people, it's a little difficult. Fortunately, I managed to obtain a Resting Divine Curse from that stingy old man. It's said to be able to make a Heavenly Cycle realm expert die silently. Most importantly, it leaves no traces. This item is most suitable for Li Xuandao now."

As he spoke, the Mad Daoist took out a mysterious black jade talisman and crushed it.

Whoosh!

The jade talisman shattered, and a strange black gas surged out and instantly fused into Li Xuandao's body. No one noticed the entire process.

Immediately after, the Mad Daoist could feel that Li Xuandao's life force was being eroded by a mysterious force and was draining away at a terrifying speed.

In just a moment, it was all gone.

With that, Li Xuandao died silently in his coma.

"The Resting Divine Curse is indeed powerful. Now, I'll just have to wait for the big fish to take the bait. Once Clan Leader Li Xuandao dies, they'll most definitely open the Li family's ancestral land and bury him inside. At that time, my chance to dig graves will come. At the same time, Brother Ren can also happily collect his corpse, hehe…"

The Mad Daoist revealed an evil smile.

To dig graves, he would do anything.

Next, to confirm that there was no mistake, the Mad Daoist checked again to make sure that Li Xuandao was really dead. Then, he left the Li family in satisfaction.

…

"Not good! Someone, come quickly! The clan leader is dead!"

Not long after the Mad Daoist left, a burst of panicked cries came from Li Xuandao's room.

Everyone was scared out of their wits.

They immediately reported the news of Li Xuandao's death to Patriarch Li Duantian, as well as the members and young masters of the Li family.

"What? The clan leader is dead?"

When they suddenly heard this news, everyone turned pale with fright.

Whoosh!

The moment he received the news, Li Duantian appeared in Li Xuandao's room in a flash.

Upon closer inspection, there were indeed no signs of life on Li Xuandao's body.

"What's going on? The clan leader was fine before. How did he suddenly die?" He questioned sternly.

Hearing this, the clansmen who had been serving Li Xuandao instantly trembled from fright.

"Ancestor, we… We don't know either. We were looking after the clan leader by his bed just now. We didn't notice anything unusual until we couldn't feel his breathing. Only then did we know that the clan leader had passed away."

What was that? He died without any warning?

Upon hearing this, Li Duantian's expression darkened to the extreme.

Soon after, unconvinced, he began to carefully examine Li Xuandao's body.

After a long time, he sighed and shook his head.

"Patriarch, how did the clan leader suddenly die? Could it be that someone deliberately harmed him?" Second Young Master Li Chengyin said in a deep voice.

Whoosh!

As soon as he said this, the clan members and young masters present all turned their gazes to Li Duantian.

"No. According to my examination, Xuandao died because of excessive grief, which led to the exhaustion of his mental strength. His death is normal and there are no traces of harm. Moreover, he passed away very peacefully without any pain."

Li Duantian shook his head.

Although he was also very suspicious, no matter how he checked, the result was the same.

Seeing this, the other clansmen also went forward to check. Everything was just as Li Duantian had said. Li Xuandao had exhausted his mental strength and died.

"Sigh, today is truly an unfortunate day. First, there was the scandal of Li Chenzhou. Then, the eldest young master, Li Chengtian, was inexplicably killed. Now, the clan leader, he… Our Li family has been passed down for five thousand years and has never suffered such a blow," A clansman sighed.

His words resonated with many people present.

At this moment, everyone's hearts were filled with inexplicable fear and unease.

Within a day, two young masters and the clan leader died one after another.

This matter seemed eerie no matter how one looked at it.

Li Duantian was also frowning deeply. No one knew what he was thinking.

"Patriarch, what should we do next?"

"Send someone to the Netherworld Coffin Shop to prepare for the funeral."

After saying that, Li Duantian sighed deeply and left the courtyard.

The rest followed the instructions and went to prepare for the funeral.

Everything was developing according to the Mad Priest's expectations.

147 The Mad Daoist's Plan!

Myth Inn, Qingshan Courtyard.

Not long after Lin Wudao sat down and was about to focus on cultivation, he saw Yin Siming rush to him.

...

"City Lord, Li Xuandao is dead."

What was that? Li Xuandao was dead?

Lin Wudao was shocked when he heard the sudden news.

"When did this happen?"

"Just now! Not long after we left, the Li family spread the news of Li Xuandao's death. They've already sent people to invite the Netherworld Coffin Shop to hold the funeral," Yin Siming bowed and replied.

"How did he die?"

"This… It is unclear. According to the news from the Li family, Li Xuandao died of natural causes due to excessive grief. He did not suffer any pain during the entire process. He passed away very peacefully."

Hmm? He died peacefully?

Hearing this, Lin Wudao's expression became even stranger.

"Although Li Xuandao suffered a huge blow from the pain of losing his sons and his mind was heavily injured, it shouldn't be to the extent of dying of mental exhaustion, right?"

"Yes, I think so too. City Lord, perhaps there is some mystery behind this that no one knows about," Yin Siming said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Lin Wudao nodded thoughtfully.

"So be it. This is the Li family's business. It has nothing to do with us. Just treat it as a show."

"Yes."

After saying that, Yin Siming bowed respectfully and left the Qingshan Courtyard.

Buzz!

After Yin Siming left, Lin Wudao suddenly felt a throbbing in the system space. With a thought, an invitation letter appeared in his hand.

Words began to appear on it.

[Brother Ren, I've already arrived at the Heishui Ancient City. I'm now at the Canghai Courtyard of the Myth Inn.]

The Mad Daoist?

Looking at the words on the invitation, Lin Wudao smiled.

"Finally."

He immediately put on the Heaven Evasion Cloak and the Mask of the Heavens, disguising himself as Ren Woxing. Then, he crushed an invisibility jade talisman and headed towards the Canghai Courtyard.

…

Canghai Courtyard wasn't very far from the Qingshan Courtyard where Lin Wudao was.

Whoosh!

A few moments later, relying on the mysterious power of the invisibility jade talisman, Lin Wudao quietly appeared in the Canghai Courtyard.

He swept his gaze across.

As expected, he saw the figure of the Mad Daoist in the courtyard.

At this moment, he was leisurely sipping tea, and there was another teacup on the table in front of him. It was obviously prepared for Lin Wudao.

"Brother Ren, you're here?"

Seeing Lin Wudao's arrival, the Mad Daoist was very happy.

" Heh, you old thing, you didn't get killed by the Xia Dynasty's Imperial Heaven Bureau? "

"I was blessed with great fortune. Those grandsons of the Xia Dynasty's Imperial Heaven Bureau want to kill me? Dream on," The Mad Daoist said disdainfully.

At the same time, there was also a hint of anger on his face.

It was apparent he was still holding a grudge against the Xia Dynasty's Imperial Heaven Bureau for trying to kill him previously.

After teasing him, Lin Wudao sat down.

"What was the big job you mentioned earlier?"

He took a sip of tea and asked bluntly.

Getting down to business, the Mad Daoist's face also revealed a solemn expression.

"Brother Ren, have you heard of the Heishui Secret Realm?"

Heishui Secret Realm?

Lin Wudao frowned.

Then, he shook his head.

"What is the Heishui Secret Realm?"

"Oh, as far as I know, the Heishui Secret Realm was originally an ancient grotto-heaven. However, due to certain reasons, it collapsed and decayed. There's no spiritual energy inside. It's filled to the brim with decay and endless death energy. In addition, because the Heishui Secret Realm is located in the Heishui River, it has been eroded by the evil energy of the Heishui River for many years and has already evolved into a dangerous place. The Heishui Secret Realm can thus nourish evil and demons."

The Mad Daoist explained.

Hearing this, Lin Wudao was surprised.

He did not expect that such a secret place was hidden in the Heishui River.

"Is the big job you're talking about the evil and demons in the Heishui Secret Realm?"

"Yes, but not quite. Although the Heishui Secret Realm contains endless evil and terror due to the erosion of the Heishui River, the evils and demons in it are not the demons we know, because the demons in the Heishui Secret Realm are man-made."

Man-made?

Lin Wudao was even more surprised.

"Brother Ren, you surely can't have imagined that the Heishui Secret Realm has another identity."

"Oh? What is it?"

"The ancestral land of the Li family in the Heishui Ancient City," The Mad Daoist smiled and replied.

The Li family's ancestral land?

This answer bewildered Lin Wudao.

"Ever since the Heishui Secret Realm was abandoned, it has become an ancestral land of the Li family. For thousands of years, the Li family buried the bodies of their old ancestors, patriarchs, and clan leaders in the Heishui Secret Realm. Then, the evil energy in the Heishui Secret Realm will nourish their bodies so that they won't rot. At the same time, the Li family will use a secret technique to refine the corpses into powerful puppets. This is also a powerful trump card of the Li family. Those ancient corpses have been eroded by evil energy for thousands of years. I'm afraid that they have already broken the shackles of their lives and transformed into more powerful evils. We call them corpse demons!"

The Mad Daoist became increasingly excited as he spoke.

Similarly, Lin Wudao's interest was piqued by his words.

"Brother Ren, think about it. The Li family has been around for more than 5,000 years. How many powerful ancestors have been buried in the Heishui Secret Realm? Even now, their corpses have not decayed. Brother Ren, don't you like to collect other people's old ancestors the most? Heishui Secret Realm is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You must not miss it."

The Mad Daoist added fuel to the fire and bewitched him.

"Are you saying that you want to dig the graves in the Li family's ancestral land?"

"Yes, yes, that's right."

"But do you know the location of the Heishui Secret Realm? Do you know how to open it?"

"I don't know."

The Mad Daoist shook his head.

But then, he revealed a strange smile.

"Brother Ren, although I don't know the location of the Heishui Secret Realm and the specific method to open it, the Li family does. As long as the Li family opens the Heishui Secret Realm themselves, won't we be able to enter?"

The Li family opened it themselves? What the hell was this method?

Lin Wudao was surprised.

"You have a way?"

"Of course."

The smile on the Mad Daoist's face became increasingly creepy.

"Brother Ren, you must have heard about the death of the current clan leader of the Li family, Li Xuandao, right?"

"Uh, this… It can't be you're the one who did it, right?"

"Indeed! I used a kind of Resting Divine Curse on Li Xuandao. It can cause people to die a natural death silently with no human interference traces at all. The Li family has always had a tradition. As long as it's an important figure in the family, such as the Heavenly Cycle realm patriarchs, the clan leader, or someone who has made great contributions to the Li family, they can be buried in the Heishui Secret Realm after their death. Now that Li Xuandao is dead, as the clan leader, he will certainly be buried in the Heishui Secret Realm. When they open the Heishui Secret Realm then, we will thus be able to enter."

Huh… He really was a genius!

Lin Wudao couldn't help but give a thumbs up when he heard the Mad Daoist's plan and actions.

"The Li family has Heavenly Cycle realm powerhouses, and I heard that there's more than one of them. Can we really pull it off with just the two of us?"

"Don't worry about that. I have a plan. When the time comes, I will invite help…"

He had helpers?

Lin Wudao glanced at him but didn't say anything.

"Brother Ren, if nothing goes wrong, Li Xuandao's body will be buried in the Heishui Secret Realm tomorrow. I'll inform you when the time comes. You just have to be prepared in advance."

"Alright," Lin Wudao nodded.

The two schemed for some time before he returned to the Green Mountain Courtyard.

…

Just like that, time passed unknowingly.

Soon, it was nighttime.

At this moment, a mourning hall had been set up in the Li family. In the huge Purple Cloud Hall, the young masters and clansmen of the Li family knelt devoutly to guard Li Xuandao's spirit.

However, just then, something strange happened.

148 The Lucky One, Li Chengyin!

[Congratulations, you have received the favor of the heavens.]

[In Jiuzhou, a heavens' emissary has just been born. As long as you sacrifice the corpse of powerhouses above the Grotto-Heaven realm, you will be able to obtain his help.]

...

[The heavens' emissary's name is Dongfang Bubai.]

[Use the corpses of powerhouses as a sacrifice and pray devoutly. At that time, you can invite him to descend into the world to help you achieve your wishes and satisfy your various needs.]

…

Li Chengyin was currently kneeling at the front of the group of young masters, obediently keeping vigil for Clan Leader Li Xuandao.

However, at this moment, an illusory voice disrupted his thoughts and woke him up from his thoughts.

Dongfang Bubai?

Hearing this name, Li Chengyin's spirits were greatly boosted.

As the second young master of the Heishui Ancient City, although he never participated in the disputes of the forces in Jiuzhou, he was still very well-informed about the various happenings in Jiuzhou.

As far as he knew, when the Dari Demonic Sect faced the Great Tribulation of High Heavens, Li Xuanshan had invited a person called Dongfang Bubai to help them overcome the Great Tribulation at the final moment of life and death.

After that, the whole sect had obtained a great fortune.

At that time, this matter had shaken the entire Jiuzou. Even the hidden factions had heard of it. Everyone was guessing who Dongfang Bubai was. To think he could help the Dari Demonic Sect survive the Great Tribulation of High Heavens.

However, until now, no one knew the identity and background of Dongfang Bubai.

"So Dongfang Bubai is the heavens' emissary. Did Li Xuanshan of the Dari Demonic Sect sacrifice the body of a Grotto-Heaven realm expert to invite Dongfang Bubai to help them pass the Great Tribulation of High Heavens? And now, I've also obtained this opportunity? If I can offer the corpse of a Grotto-Heaven realm expert and above to Dongfang Bubai, will I be able to get him to fulfill my wish?" Li Chengyin pondered.

"Are you really Dongfang Bubai?"

To find out, he began to carefully probe.

[No.]

[I am the Book of All Living Beings. I listen to the voices and wishes of all living beings in the world. Then, I will randomly pick a lucky person among all living beings.]

[Be honored that you have successfully received the favor of the heavens.]

[As long as you offer the corpse of a Grotto-Heaven realm powerhouse or above as a sacrifice and pray devoutly, you will have a chance to invite Dongfang Bubai to help you fulfill your wish.]

[The more precious the offering, the higher the chance of you inviting Dongfang Bubai over…]

…

The ethereal voice continued to ring out.

This time, Li Chengyin heard it clearly.

"It's true!"

He instantly clenched his fists, and an unprecedented divine light burst out from his eyes.

At the same time, a thought that had been suppressed in the deepest part of his heart sprouted.

"Now that the clan leader has died unexpectedly, it won't be long before the family chooses a new clan leader. As a direct descendant of the Li family, I have the chance to compete for the position. If I can get Dongfang Bubai's help, wouldn't it be easy for me to become the clan leader?" Li Chengyin secretly calculated.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was hope.

"According to the Book of All Beings, if I want to invite Dongfang Bubai, I have to offer the corpse of a Grotto-Heaven Realm powerhouse or above as a sacrifice and pray sincerely. So right now, I'm only lacking the corpses of powerhouses to become the clan leader?"

Thinking of this, Li Chengyin couldn't help but look at Li Xuandao's corpse in the mourning hall ahead.

Wasn't this a ready-made Heavenly Cycle realm corpse?

His heart throbbed.

Moreover, as time passed, the urge became more and more intense.

Although he was the second young master of the Li family, he had no blood relationship with Li Xuandao.

Therefore, he didn't have any psychological burden in sacrificing Li Xuandao's corpse.

"I want to ask if I want to invite Emissary Dongfang to help me become the clan leader of the Li family in the Heishui Ancient City, what kind of expert's corpse would I need to offer?"

After a long silence, Li Chengyin asked carefully.

[Connecting to Dongfang Bubai, please wait…]

Hearing the voice in his mind, Li Chengyin was not anxious.

He waited patiently in the mourning hall.

…

On the other side, in the Qingshan Courtyard of the Myth Inn, Lin Wudao also received a notification from the Book of All Beings.

"The second young master of the Li family, Li Chengyin? He wants to seize the position of clan leader?"

Looking at the contents of the Book of All Beings, Lin Wudao's lips curled into a faint smile.

What a coincidence. He had just been thinking about how to get the Li family's resources.

Now, someone had automatically delivered himself to his doorstep.

"A fat sheep has delivered itself to my doorstep. It would be a waste not to slaughter it. Although it is not easy to become the clan leader of the Li family, I should still be able to do it…"

Thinking of this, Lin Wudao immediately accepted Li Chengyin's invitation.

"If you want to become the clan leader of the Li family, you'll need to prepare at least ten corpses of powerhouses above the Heavenly Cycle realm. If you do that, I might be able to help you fulfill your wish."

What? Ten corpses of Heavenly Cycle realm powerhouses?

Hearing the indifferent voice in his mind, Li Chengyin's body could not help but tremble.

Then, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

"As expected, it's not that easy. Even if I can get Li Xuandao's body, it's still far from Emissary Dongfang's request. What should I do?"

Li Chengyin fell into deep thought.

"Why don't I go and ask grandpa for help?"

Suddenly, Li Chengyin had a flash of inspiration and instantly thought of his grandfather, Li Qingshan.

Now, Li Qingshan had already cultivated to the peak of the Heavenly Cycle realm. Although he had not become the Li family's clan leader, he was the Li family's Grand Elder. He held a truly high position.

If he could get the other party's help, perhaps he could fulfill Dongfang Bubai's request!

"I remember that grandpa has the body of a Heaven Capture realm expert. He's going to refine it into a puppet. Should I go and ask for it?"

Thinking of this, Li Chengyin seemed to have found a way, and waves of excitement immediately surged from the bottom of his heart.

"Emissary Dongfang, I wonder if the corpse of a Heaven Capture realm powerhouse is worth ten Heavenly Cycle realm corpses?" He asked carefully.

Hmm? A Heaven Capture realm powerhouse?

Lin Wudao was surprised to see this message.

He did not expect Li Chengyin to have such a good thing in his hands.

"If it's the corpse of a Heaven Capture realm powerhouse, you can indeed invite me to help you. However, this also depends on the specific matter. How do you want me to help you become the clan leader of the Li family?"

"This… Can I think about it first?"

"Very well. Think about it carefully before contacting me."

Then, Lin Wudao immediately cut off the connection.

Whoosh!

He agreed?

Seeing that Dongfang Bubai had actually agreed, Li Chengyin was pleasantly surprised.

Soon after, he began to plan how to persuade his grandfather and how to ascend to the position of the Li family's clan leader.

Thump!

Just as Li Chengyin was deep in thought, an ancient bell chime suddenly rang out from the ancestral land.

"All the young masters and elders of the Li family, head to the ancestral land at the back of the mountain!"

Suddenly, a dignified voice entered the ears of Li Chengyin and the others.

"The old ancestors are out! If nothing unexpected happens, they will discuss the selection of the clan leader next…" Li Chengyin thought to himself.

He quickly looked around and then followed everyone to the ancestral land at the back of the mountain at his fastest speed.

149 The Battle for the Position of the Clan Leader

Ancestral shrine.

The forbidden area of the Li family was also where the old ancestors lived and cultivated.

...

When Li Chengyin arrived at the ancestral shrine with the others, he saw that there were already nine elders with powerful auras sitting in the ancient and majestic hall.

They were the old ancestors of the Li family. The weakest had reached the perfection of the Heavenly Cycle realm.

In fact, among them, three had broken through the shackles of the Heavenly Cycle realm and reached the Heaven Capture realm.

"Is this the foundation of my Li family?" Li Chengyin took a glance and was secretly shocked.

The three Heaven Capture realm experts were not something that the forces in Jiuzhou could compare to. This was the foundation that these hidden factions relied on to survive.

"Greetings, old ancestor."

"Greetings, old ancestor."

"Greetings, old ancestor."

…

Outside the ancestral shrine, under the leadership of the elders, all the clansmen knelt respectfully and piously and kowtowed.

"Today, we have gathered all of you here to discuss the matter of the clan leader…"

Just as everyone was feeling uneasy, an old voice came from the ancestral shrine.

The speaker was a spirited old man in red. His name was Li Tianhuang.

He was the number one patriarch of the Li family and also the person with the strongest cultivation. He had already reached the mid-stage of the Heaven Capture realm.

Although he looked like he was on the verge of death, there was a terrifying power hidden in his old body.

The members of the Li family were filled with reverence for him.

"A few days ago, I heard that the family had undergone a great change. Not only did the two outstanding young masters of the family die tragically, but even Clan Leader Li Xuandao also passed away due to excessive grief. I am also very saddened by this unforeseen event. However, a country cannot live without a ruler, and a family cannot live without a leader. Although we are deeply saddened by Li Xuandao's sudden passing, we must select a new clan leader in time to take charge of the situation. "

"Today, I gathered all of you here for this matter. After the discussion of the nine patriarchs, the clan leader will be selected from all the members of the Li family. The method of selection will be the Path to Heaven."

What was that? The Path to Heaven?

Hearing this, the clansmen kneeling outside the ancestral shrine were shocked.

In the past, the clan leader of the Li family was chosen based on seniority and strength. They did not expect that this time, the method would change.

Did this mean that everyone here had a chance?

At the thought of this, many began to become restless.

"In two days, the Path to Heaven that happens once every thousand years will descend upon the mortal world. At that time, all descendants and clansmen of the Li family can participate. Whoever achieves the best performance will become the next clan leader of the Li family. At that time, I will also give him an additional Great Heavenly Cycle Pill. After refining it, his cultivation will reach the Heavenly Cycle realm."

As he spoke, Li Tianhuang flipped his hand and took out a jade box.

Whoosh!

The moment it was opened, a dazzling spiritual light instantly bloomed, illuminating the ancestral shrine.

Everyone's eyes were wide with shock.

The crowd's breathing became hurried, and even Li Chengyin was no exception.

"With my aptitude and strength, no one other than Li Chengtian among the young masters of the Li family can compare to me. Now that Li Chengtian is dead, I am number one. Even so, I still can't guarantee that I'll be the clan leader since besides the young masters, many others from the clan will be competing too. Even the elders have a chance. Moreover, there is no guarantee that someone is deliberately hiding their strength. For this, I have to be well-prepared. For now, if I want a 100% guarantee of victory, the safest way is to seek the help of Dongfang Bubai…"

Li Chengyin secretly calculated in his heart.

Dongfang Bubai's reputation and strength were guaranteed.

If this matter was entrusted to the other party, he could surely become the clan leader.

"Next, I need to think of a way to get my hands on the corpse of the Heaven Capture realm powerhouse in grandpa's hands."

At this moment, Li Chengyin already had a preliminary plan in his mind.

…

"Alright, if there is nothing else, you can all leave now."

Whoosh!

As Li Tianhuang's voice rang out, the people outside the ancestral shrine quickly left with various thoughts and ideas.

Li Chengyin immediately went to his grandfather, Li Qingshan.

Shanhai Courtyard.

Li Qingshan sat at the head of the table, leisurely sipping his tea while looking thoughtfully at Li Chengyin who was standing in front of him. His eyes revealed a trace of puzzlement.

"Chengyin, why did you come over today?" Li Qingshan asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Chengyin took a deep breath and a smile appeared on his face.

"Grandfather, it has been a long time since I last saw you, so I just dropped by for a visit, hehe…"

"Stop. How can I not know what you're up to? Just now, the old ancestor already said that whoever can perform the best on the Path to Heaven this time will be able to become the next clan leader. How confident are you about this?" Li Qingshan asked calmly.

"100%," Li Chengyin answered firmly.

Hmm? 100%?

Hearing this, Li Qingshan was also shocked. He looked at Li Chengyin in disbelief.

"Brat, this is no joke. Although your aptitude and strength are ranked second among the young masters of the Li family, that's only on the surface. You have no idea how many are hiding their strength in the dark. In the entire Li family, no one dares to speak so arrogantly. What makes you so confident?"

Li Qingshan shook his head and sneered.

No one would believe this.

However, facing Li Qingshan's doubts, Li Chengyin didn't panic at all. He remained calm and collected.

He even had a confident smile on his face.

Li Qingshan's interest was piqued.

"Grandpa, since I said I have a hundred percent confidence, I naturally have something to rely on."

"Oh? Tell me about it."

"Grandfather, have you heard of Dongfang Bubai?"

Dongfang Bubai?

Hearing this name, Li Qingshan began to recall.

"I seem to have some impression of it. I seem to have heard of it somewhere…"

He frowned.

He couldn't remember.

"Grandfather, some time ago, the Dari Demonic Sect resisted the Great Tribulation of High Heavens. At the final moment of life and death, it was thanks to Dongfang Bubai's help that they safely survived the tribulation. Moreover, after the Great Tribulation, all the disciples of the Dari Demonic Sect received a great fortune from the heavens. Their cultivation and strength increased greatly."

"Yes, there was indeed such a thing."

After Li Chengyin's reminder, Li Qingshan also remembered.

The Li family had also sent people to investigate Dongfang Bubai's background, but they found nothing.

"Could it be… You found Dongfang Bubai?"

Suddenly, Li Qingshan seemed to have thought of a possibility and asked in disbelief.

"Indeed."

Li Chengyin nodded heavily.

"Grandpa, Dongfang Bubai is a heavens' emissary who has just appeared in Jiuzhou. Through the Book of All Beings, he randomly picks a lucky person from all living beings. Then, with the corpse in the Grotto-Heaven realm or above as a sacrifice and devout prayers, one will be able to invite Dongfang Bubai to descend and receive his help, thus achieving what one wishes for…"

Li Chengyin said everything he knew.

After hearing all this, Li Qingshan was shocked. He had never heard of such a strange thing in his life.

"Is what you said true?"

"Absolutely. I've already communicated with Emissary Dongfang once. He told me that as long as I can offer ten Heavenly Cycle realm corpses, he will help me seize the position of the clan leader. As such, I have come this time around to seek grandfather's help…"

At this point, Li Chengyin rubbed his hands in embarrassment. His eyes were filled with anticipation.

Hearing his words, Li Qingshan immediately frowned, and a bad feeling welled up in his heart.

150 Lin Wudao: You Need to Pay More!

"Tell me, how can I help you?"

Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Li Qingshan asked calmly.

...

Hearing this, Li Chengyin took a deep breath and immediately voiced out the thoughts in his heart.

"Grandpa, I seem to have heard you mention before that you once entered a mysterious ruin when you were young and obtained some opportunities and good fortune. In addition, you also obtained a nameless ancient corpse, right? According to your guess, that ancient corpse is at least in the Heaven Capture realm. I wonder if you still have it…" He asked carefully.

Hmph!

Hearing this, Li Qingshan's face darkened.

"I thought you needed my help. So you're after the ancient corpse in my hand?"

"This… I have no other choice," Li Chengyin braced himself and answered.

At this moment, he could clearly feel Li Qingshan's sharp gaze.

However, to ascend to the position of clan leader and revitalize their branch, Li Chengyin was unwilling to let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Grandpa, this is a rare opportunity! Our branch isn't highly regarded in the Li family. The branches of the other young masters all have patriarchs who have reached perfection in the Heavenly Cycle realm overseeing them. As for you, although you're a Grand Elder, your status and position are much lower. "

"If I can become the clan leader, then our branch will have a much higher status, position, and authority in the entire Li family. Whether or not we can revitalize our branch depends on this. Besides, since I can get the chance to invite Dongfang Bubai, others might get the chance too. Once someone else gets it first, we will never be able to turn things around. Grandfather, please consider the bigger picture."

Thump!

As he spoke, Li Chengyin knelt and kowtowed heavily.

Hearing his words, Li Qingshan was also moved.

"Sigh, very well…"

In the end, he let out a long sigh and seemed to have compromised.

"Chengyin, you're right. This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Since you want to fight for the position, I'll help you this time. That ancient corpse was definitely in the Heaven Capture realm when it was alive. It was a true powerhouse. Originally, I intended to refine it into a puppet. Since you want it, I will give it to you."

Boom!

Li Qingshan waved his hand, and an ancient bronze coffin appeared on the ground.

It emitted the decaying aura of time.

Bang!

Out of curiosity, Li Chengyin opened the coffin to take a look.

As expected, he saw a well-preserved male corpse inside.

Although it had been eroded over time, it did not show any signs of decay.

"Use this ancient corpse as a sacrifice and see if you can invite Dongfang Bubai."

"Yes, Grandpa."

Li Chengyin bowed and acknowledged.

He forcefully suppressed the surprise and excitement in his heart and immediately tried to communicate with Dongfang Bubai.

"Emissary Dongfang, I am Li Chengyin. I am willing to offer the corpse of a Heaven Capture realm powerhouse as a sacrifice to invite you to help me ascend to the position of the Li Family's clan leader. "

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

…

Li Chengyin kowtowed in an extremely pious manner.

In the Myth Inn, Lin Wudao was also waiting for Li Chengyin's sacrifice.

"Did he really get the corpse of a Heaven Capture Realm powerhouse?"

Looking at the information displayed in the Book of All Beings, Lin Wudao's spirits were lifted.

"How can I help you?"

"Emissary Dongfang, the old ancestor has said that the competition method for the Li family's clan leader this time is the Path to Heaven. Whoever performs the best will become the next clan leader of the Li family. Therefore, I implore Emissary Dongfang to help me achieve my wish…"

Li Chengyin continued to kowtow piously.

Path to Heaven?

Lin Wudao was surprised.

He did not expect that the Li family's selection of the clan leader would actually be linked to the Path to Heaven this time.

"Very well. However, if you want me to perform well on the Path to Heaven, the corpse of a Heaven Capture realm powerhouse is not enough. You have to pay more."

Lin Wudao would not let go of this good opportunity to kill a fat sheep.

What? Not enough? Pay more?

Hearing this, Li Chengyin was stunned.

This was different from what he had expected.

However, now that the arrow was already on the bowstring, he had no choice but to shoot. There was nothing else he could do other than bite the bullet and walk on.

"How much more do I have to pay?" Li Chengyin suppressed the anxiety in his heart and asked carefully.

"Not much. Just give me half of the Li family's resources."

What was that? Half of the family's resources?

Li Chengyin's heart was in turmoil.

This price was a little high.

"Why? Are you unwilling? Since you don't think I'm worth this price, I can only look for other young masters to seek cooperation. I believe that they are also very eager for the position of clan leader."

As he spoke, Lin Wudao pretended to want to leave.

These words frightened Li Chengyin.

"No, no, no. That's not what I meant. I agree with your request! As long as Emissary Dongfang can help me become the clan leader of the Li family, I'm willing to offer half of the Li family's resources as a reward," He quickly expressed his stance.

He seemed very afraid that Dongfang Bubai would leave him.

After all, Dongfang Bubai was his greatest reliance to become the clan leader. If the former left just like that, all his hopes would be dashed.

This result was naturally not what he wanted.

Lin Wudao was extremely satisfied with Li Chengyin's attitude.

"Alright. Since you're willing to offer the corpse of a Heaven Capture realm powerhouse and half of the Li family's resources as a sacrifice, I'll accept your invitation and help you become the Li family's clan leader. When the Path to Heaven descends, I will participate in it as you. You just have to wait patiently."

Buzz!

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange black hole suddenly appeared in midair.

Then, under Li Qingshan and Li Chengyin's extremely shocked gazes, the bronze coffin on the ground was instantly sucked into the black hole.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace.

"Wow, what a strange method! Dongfang Bubai indeed has divine abilities!" Li Qingshan exclaimed.

Originally, he still had some doubts in his heart, but after seeing this strange and magical scene, he completely believed in Dongfang Bubai's methods and strength.

He didn't dare to have any more doubts.

"Chengyin, you've hit the jackpot this time."

At this moment, an excited smile appeared on his old face.

Li Chengyin's expression was the same.

However, what they did not know was that half of the Li family's resources had disappeared along with the bronze coffin.

"Someone! Something big has happened!"

"Not good, a thief has gotten into the treasury!"

"Hurry up and inform the old ancestor that someone has infiltrated the Li family and stolen a large number of treasures from the treasury!"

…

With a series of earth-shattering exclamations, the entire Li family was in chaos in an instant.

Hearing the noise outside, Li Qingshan and Li Chengyin exchanged a glance. They saw the intense shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.

"What kind of method is this to take away half of the Li family's resources without anyone noticing? We must not offend Dongfang Bubai. Chengyin, you can't reveal a single word about this matter. Otherwise, we will most definitely die without a burial place," Li Qingshan warned sternly.

Li Chengyin nodded heavily.

He was not a fool. He naturally knew the terrifying consequences of this matter.

…

Lin Wudao ignored their shock and the panic of the Li family.

At this moment, he was enjoying the fruits of his victory.
