Chapter 611: Ups and Downs

Li Yuanfeng stayed silent for quite a while, after the middle-aged man had finished retelling the situation.
No one uttered a sound.
The Hans present realized that the young looking man had to be a legendary battle pet warrior; Senior Feng would not have been so afraid if he wasn’t!
Such a powerhouse didn’t seem to like the Han Family.
It seemed that the Han family had managed to upset a legendary battle pet warrior… The onlookers felt as if they were being kept in a cage with a fierce beast.
Senior Feng was drenched in cold sweat. There were several times when he wanted to interrupt that middle-aged man, but he always felt someone was eyeing him with killing intent; he was afraid to talk. It was too late by the time he came back to his senses. The middle-aged man finished his story without any hindrances.
Senior Feng only regretted that he had not killed every last member of the Li family!
That talented family head led the Han family to glory, but left behind a ma.s.sive trouble as well!
The hidden problem had finally revealed itself that day!
The Feng elder didn’t even dare to breathe; he had never fought against a legendary battle pet warrior before, but being with next to one was already stressing him.
After a long while of silence, Li Yuanfeng said to the middle-aged man, “Get up.”
The middle-aged man was overjoyed. Li Yuanfeng had believed him.
The middle-aged man could not help but shed tears of excitement. Li Yuanfeng had returned. The Li family would no longer have to go through such an ign.o.ble existence!
They had suffered humiliation and unfair treatment for hundreds of years; no one could tell at that point how much they had sacrificed. They even had to witness the deaths of their beloved families right in front of their eyes.
Finally, from that point on, they could hold their heads up high and retake their surname!
“How many of you are left?” Li Yuanfeng asked calmly.
The middle-aged man pulled himself together and said, “Sir, there are two hundred descendants of the Li family but most of them are scattered across different branches of the Han family. Some of them have long been a.s.similated by the Hans; they no longer share our ideals. There are only twelve of us who are still hoping to rejuvenate the Li family.”
“Only twelve…” Li Yuanfeng murmured.
The once great Li family only had twelve left!
He wanted to put on a smile but failed.
It was sad.
He had tried his best to safeguard the Deep Caves, but then he almost lost his entire family while he was away!
Why did he even struggle for eight hundred years?
Li Yuanfeng took a deep breath to calm himself down. He patted the middle-aged man’s shoulder and said, “You will have your surname back from this day forth.”
“Yes, sir!” The middle-aged man was brought to tears.
It was their dream to have their surname back, which was also used by a legendary battle pet warrior. It was a great name!
“Han family…”
Li Yuanfeng looked around.
Senior Feng dropped to his knees once he sensed the other man’s anger. “Sir, the family that destroyed the Li family was not the Han family. We are the ones who took your people in so that the Li family could live on. They might not have enjoyed a good life here, but they’re still here, at the very least. Sir, please show mercy in return for that small favor!”
“Nonsense!”
Han Jinsong, no, Li Jinsong argued with Senior Feng, “We have our family records and there’s a log that says that the Han family played a part in the destruction of the Li family hundreds of years ago; we surrendered to you because we had no other choice. You have treated us harshly from day one. We were only able to survive because your former family head had set up that rule. Otherwise, you would have killed us all!”
“Sir, this is not true. We also have records left by our forefathers, stating that the Han family didn’t cause the destruction of the Li family. We were just implicated. There would have been another family without the Han family around. If that were in fact the case, the Li family might have indeed been wiped out in its entirety…”
Li Yuanfeng glared at Senior Feng. The former moved his hand. Senior Feng felt a tremor and the next thing he knew, he was on the ground, spitting out blood.
From Senior Feng’s ripped clothes flew out some metal objects, all broken.
One slap and Li Yuanfeng had broken several defensive items!
The onlookers had lost their ability to talk.
Han Yuqian, who had just been slapped away, watched in a daze.
She had known Senior Feng since she was a kid; she had always seen him as a peerless fighter. He was a famous t.i.tled battle pet warrior at the peak; never did she think she could ever see Senior Feng in such an embarra.s.sed state.
A legendary battle pet warrior.
“You…”
Senior Feng tried to crawl up, but his reserve of astral powers were decreasing, much to his horror. The vortices in his cells were collapsing… He was losing his strength!
His remaining doubts as to whether the warrior was at the legendary level were completely dispelled. The thing that was happening to him was terrifying him.
“The Han family doesn’t deserve an exit, but I will show mercy since you said that it was thanks to you that the remaining Li members were able to survive.” Li Yuanfeng put down his hand and announced, “The Li family surrendered to you. Today, the Han family will surrender to the Li family in exactly the same way!”
“From today on, the Li family will be the master and the Han family will become the slave. Any Han member who dares to fight back will be punished with death!”
Senior Feng trembled and struggled to raise his head; he could barely look into that pair of cold eyes.
He knew that the Han family was doomed.
Standing in front of him was the legendary battle pet warrior of the Li family, the one who contrary to the general consensus, was very much alive, having lived for hundreds of years!
He was still among the living and the Li family would rise again. The Li family would grow to become the most powerful force of the Dark Claw Base City!
“Sir…”
Li Jinsong was thrilled. His suffering in the past few years had not been in vain. Finally, such a grand development came to pa.s.s; a legendary battle pet warrior could change everything.
“Go and get all the members of the Li family. And you, go and get all the t.i.tled battle pet warriors of the Han family. I will kill a hundred for every one you leave out!” Li Yuanfeng ordered.
Li Jinsong hurried away at once.
Senior Feng felt bitter inside. Of course he didn’t dare to leave any one out. He could not imagine what a legendary battle pet warrior could do. A legendary battle pet warrior could leverage the Tower’s strength, while the Tower in turn controlled the great powers of the world. He knew that, so he had to obey orders.
“I will do that now.” Senior Feng crawled up while enduring the pain.
Li Yuanfeng closed his eyes to adjust his emotions.
He wanted to throw a temper and flatten that place, but the kindness in his heart ultimately stopped him.
All this time, Su Ping and Su Lingyue said nothing. Li Yuanfeng was an experienced fighter; he had his reasons to deal with that matter in any way he wanted.
Su Ping was even more disappointed at the Tower!
He felt so sorry for those legendary battle pet warriors who were still staying in the Deep Caves. He had seen their sincere smiles!
But… someone had to safeguard the Deep Caves.
Why are the ones hurting always the good guys?
Su Ping clenched his fists. He was even more determined based in a thought he had developed before.
Soon.
Li Yuanfeng came back with eight people. There were two children, three old men, a young man and two ladies.
Those people weren’t at a high rank and the hunchbacked old man was the most powerful of them all; he was at the t.i.tle rank but he hid it well. Su Ping had developed some amazing detection skills in the cultivation sites. If he didn’t have those skills, he wouldn’t have remarked that the old man was at the t.i.tled rank.
“Three people are outside on a mission but I sent them a message,” Li Jinsong reported to Li Yuanfeng with the utmost respect.
The eight people who arrived along with him stared at Li Yuanfeng in a daze.
The old man at the tilted rank opened his murky eyes. A glow flashed past his eyes and then he trembled. He had seen a portrait of Li Yuanfeng and the resemblance was uncanny!
