Chapter 686: Whose Fairy Weapon Was It?
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
“Deacon Long Qingtian of the Tiandao Alliance of Tiankun World, your senses are really sharp!”
No sooner had Long Qingtian’s words faded, than a sportive voice rang from all directions of the Li family’s mansion, the source of which was impossible to locate.
“You must have great strength. But if you keep behaving in such an ominous manner, people will say that you are not a frank man!” Long Qingtian said. His expression turned ugly, and he withdrew the domineering Qi pressure he had sent forth a moment ago. He a.s.sembled all his energy and spirit as if preparing to combat against a formidable enemy.
“Don’t be so nervous. It’s useless to get so tense. Your Tiankun World has invaded our Heaven Realm, colluded with the Li Family of Pingzhou, and intends to carry out a malicious agenda. Now, under the order of the Human Emperor, I’m here to exterminate all of you. Tell me, do you prefer to commit suicide or to let me do you in. I think you will feel more comfortable if you commit suicide. Because when I do it, you guys will suffer!”
“How arrogant!” Long Qingtian’s expression became frosty, two jets of golden light shot out from his eyes. “Come out!”
“Fire Golden Pupil Sword! Bravo! But you used it at the wrong time!”
The place where the two jets of golden light hit was an artificial hill. Under the impact of the golden light, the artificial hill was reduced to pieces, but no figure was revealed.
“Bang!”
No one in the mansion had figured out what was going on yet. A m.u.f.fled thud sounded, and Long Qingtian was thrown into the air by a stream of invisible force. Meanwhile, above the mansion a layer of colorful light emerged, perfectly encompa.s.sing the entire mansion.
“Amba.s.sador of the Human Emperor Palace, what are you doing besieging the mansion of our Li Family?”
Seeing the mansion sealed by a newcomer, the members of the Li Family in the ancestor hall panicked instantly.
“Humph, Family Head Li, the Li Family of Pingzhou has been in league with an evildoer from the Alien Realm. Do you really believe the Human Emperor will continue to tolerate your behavior?”
The newcomer gave a cold smile. He had a cultivation at the Genuine Immortal level. Although he was a Genuine Immortal who had only underwent one tribulation, his power was sufficient to conquer anyone in the Li Family.
After all, the strongest combatant in the Li Family of Pingzhou was only an Individual Immortal.
Individual Immortals could only play the hero in front of ordinary people. Since they had not gone through any Thunder Tribulations, he could crush them with a finger. As for Long Qingtian from the Tiandao Alliance, also an Individual Immortal, he could kill him with one slap. Thus, in the face of questioning from the Family Head Li, he did not intend to explain anything at all.
“All members of the Li Family, come and hide behind me!” At this precise moment, Li Xiu’s expression altered, and a huge Elixir Furnace suddenly appeared above his head. The Elixir Furnace looked like an enormous skull, but it could not have been a normal man’s skull, for it was extraordinarily huge. Between its eyebrows was a mirror, in which bright light was revolving. Jets of mysterious light shot out from the mirror, hanging in the broad sky as if mocking the newcomer.
“A fairy weapon? This is a fairy weapon! How can it be! How come you have a fairy weapon?!” At the sight of the Skull Elixir Furnace, the Genuine Immortal could not maintain his unfathomable image anymore. He abruptly jumped up and pointed his finger at Li Xiu.
“This fairy weapon is a gift from King Wuyang, specifically for ensuring the safety of the Li Family of Pingzhou!”
“Bullsh*t! This is precisely the treasure our Human Emperor Palace lost 10,000 years ago. Today it will be returned to its original owner!” The Genuine Immortal declared with a serious look. He raised a hand and grabbed at the Elixir Furnace.
“You’re courting death!”
Watching as the Genuine Immortal targeted the Elixir Furnace, Li Xiu merely sneered and remained motionless. A shot of black flame spurted out from the eye sockets of the Skull Elixir Furnace and charged at the Genuine Immortal, trying to enclose him.
“c.r.a.p!” The moment the Genuine Immortal touched the black fire, he felt something was wrong and hastily withdrew his hands. But the flame advanced on him persistently as if it had intelligence.
“Get back!” Just when the flame was about to hit the Genuine Immortal, a cold snap sounded. Seconds later, a gust of vile wind arrived, blocking the two flames. A tall figure emerged in front of the Genuine Immortal, and a discontented voice rang in his ears.
“You idiot! King Wuyang is Zhou Bao. You dare to s.n.a.t.c.h his fairy weapon! Do you wish to end your life?”
Hearing this, the Genuine Immortal’s expression altered dramatically.
He had once been a Genuine Immortal working for the Divine Wind Palace and had put all his energy into protecting the interests of the Divine Wind Palace. He knew who Zhou Bao was, but had no way of knowing the other ident.i.ties Zhou Bao a.s.sumed in the Central Mainland Region. So when he heard the t.i.tle “King Wuyang”, all he felt was despise, a.s.suming it must be a n.o.body in the Central Mainland Region. However, realizing that King Wuyang was Zhou Bao, he almost bounced up. Zhou Bao had demonstrated his majestic power at the Human Emperor Selection Ceremony and easily defeated Yu Taihe. When he rescued w.a.n.g She, he had nearly demolished the entire Divine Wind Palace. And when the Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain upset him, he had rushed to their base and taught them a good lesson.
This kind of guy was absolutely not someone this One-tribulation Genuine Immortal could deal with.
“I am Yu Hui from the Divine Wind Palace. Hereby I pay my tribute to Family Head Li!”
The Genuine Immortal revealed his figure and politely cupped his hands toward the Family Head of the Li family, “Family Head, please don’t get me wrong. Our reason for coming here today is to catch the demons from the Tiandao Alliance, not the Li family. Although we adopted certain measures, we were just preventing the demons of the Tiandao Alliance from running away with their collaborators. If we have offended you in any aspect, please forgive us!”
Even though he was addressing the Family Head of the Li Family, he was staring at Li Xiu.
“Amba.s.sador, no need to be so courteous. Now that our family has fostered such a vile sp.a.w.n who disgraced our ancestors, I should be blamed for being incompetent as the Family Head. However, the reputation of the Li Family of Pingzhou, which has stood for a thousand years cannot be ruined by a few black sheep. Amba.s.sador, you may continue. This fairy weapon only protects my family, the demons are all yours!”
“Thank you for your help, Family Head!” Yu Hui smiled. With a fling of his hand, several figures materialized out of the hollow and hurtled in all directions. Soon, numerous roars sounded and a dozen light columns shot from the Li family mansion but were blocked by the colorful glaze cover. The Li family mansion was rendered into a fully separated s.p.a.ce by the colorful glaze, which was actually a Highest Heaven Celestial Device.
Since it was impossible to flee, the only choice left was to battle.
Among the members of the Tiandao Alliance who had invaded into the Heaven Realm, the most powerful ones were three Genuine Immortals at the Venerable Realm level. In addition to them, there were 10 One-tribulation Genuine Immortals and dozens of Individual Immortals. With such strength, they could easily dominate a district in the Seven-deity Regions. But the Human Emperor had obviously made careful preparation as well. Including Yu Hui, he had sent five Venerables, plus 30 One-tribulation Genuine Immortals but no Individual Immortals. The strength of this team was much superior to that of the Tiandao Alliance, thereby it only took them a few seconds to arrest all the members of the Tiandao Alliance and kill those who refused to cooperate.
“Family Head Li, there is another thing I have to discuss with you. I wonder if you could spare some time for me!” After catching the whole lot of the Tiandao Alliance in one go, Yu Hui came to Li Xiu and his father again and asked with a smile.
“Venerable Yu, please go ahead!”
“The Human Emperor ordered me to come to the Li Family not only for the purpose of arresting the demons from the Tiandao Alliance but also to escort their collaborators to the Human Emperor Palace. Family Head, please inform me whether you would mind!”
“Don’t worry, Venerable Yu. Given that this matter involves the interest of the entire Heaven Realm, I will not be partial to those traitors who colluded with demons from the Alien Realm. They are not worthy of the Li family’s protection, either. Seniors of our family, I would like to know where you guys stand on this matter!”
“The Family Head has a point. Those in league with demons, of course, do not merit our protection.” A Highest Elder in the Li family said slowly. “However, Family Head, Li Xian is, after all, your younger brother as well as a direct descendant of the Li family. Even if he should be punished, I think it should be our family to conduct the punishment, rather than bothering outsiders!”
“It’s you, Elder Moli!” Hearing the voice, Family Head Li screwed up his eyes slightly. This Highest Elder was on good terms with Li Xian, and his grandson worked directly for him as well. He had also contributed considerably in helping Li Xian form the cliques to betray the Family Head. This was why he was standing out to s.h.i.+eld Li Xian.
Family Head Li wished Yu Hui could also arrest the Highest Elder as one of the accomplices of the Tiandao Alliance. However, he knew that if he let the Highest Elder be taken away, he would seem discriminatory against those who held different views in front the whole family. He had to hold his horses. “Elder Moli, this matter is not only relevant to the Li family, but also the entire Heaven Realm. It involves too many interests. As far as I’m concerned, it’s better we let the amba.s.sador of the Human Emperor Palace deal with it!”
“Humph, you’re just getting rid of dissidents. Li Xian found evidence that your son is colluding with an evildoer. That’s why you want to take him down, push him into a corner. Given such a mindset and such a sense of responsibility, are you truly qualified to be our Family Head?”
“Enough, Elder Moli! You shall say no more. It’s not your turn to judge me in respect of whether I am eligible to be the Family Head!” Family Head Li’s expression suddenly grew distant. He shot a glance at Li Moli and then turned to Yu Hui. “I’m so sorry about that. The traitors are all members of our Li family. But we will not punish them, because we’re about to bother you to do it, Amba.s.sador!”
“It’s nothing!” Yu Hui smiled. He waved a hand and the Genuine Immortals standing behind him started moving. Within seconds, they had captured Li Xian and his lot, including Li Moli’s grandson. Seeing his own grandson being arrested, how could Li Moli stifle his anger? His body shook and he was about to rush forward, but Li Xiu appeared behind him and pressed him down by the shoulders.
“Elder Moli, stay calm. Your grandson deserves this. Let him atone for his crimes. You will stay here. Do not make any more trouble for our family!”
“You!” Li Moli bellowed. His eyes widened, exerting all his efforts to break free. However, he was no match for Li Xiu. No matter how hard he tried, he could not move a bit. He could only watch as Yu Hui’s subordinates took his grandson away.
Li Xiu did not loosen his grip on Li Moli until all the men from the Human Emperor Palace and the Divine Wind Palace had left and the colorful glaze cover hanging over the mansion had disappeared.
“Li Xiu, go to h.e.l.l!”
The second he let Li Moli free, he flipped out. He flashed his sharp knife and thrust it right at Li Xiu’s neck.
