Chapter 144 - 144 Carrying a Coffin to Celebrate the Birthday!
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 sc.u.m 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.
