w.a.n.g Lao Er was at a loss at how to handle the overwhelmingly one-sided situation. He turned his head to look behind, where an old monk sat silently, his face devoid of happiness or sadness. One was lounging lazily on the chair and continued chatting as if nothing had happened.
Great-Grandma: "This bunch of guys are so annoying, they don"t agree to my terms."
Love Every Job You Do: "Or do you want to snark at me? [trembling]"
Great-Grandma: "The details are not very clear. Let"s not talk about this and deal with something."
She ignored him and opened the private chat interface with Lightning King: "I saw your social media feed. Well done, young man."
Lightning King replied immediately: "Oh, it"s just a small matter, how did you manage to see it? It"s not worthy of mentioning it, it"s nothing."
Great-Grandma: "Can I ask you for a favor?"
Lightning King: "Don"t hesitate to ask."
Great-Grandma: "I"ll entrust my grandson to you. Train him hard. Don"t let him be in charge of small matters like supernatural occurrences, arrange the dangerous missions for him. Anyway, he won"t die that easily, as he has the ability of self-recovery. Just treat it as me owing Baoze a favor. After the symposium, I will stay at Lianghua Temple for a while."
Lightning King: "Did he anger you?"
Great-Grandma did not answer directly but said a non-sequitur: "This group of guys, as always, is not easy to deal with."
Lightning King: "Teach them a lesson."
Great-Grandma: "Well, with your words, I can rest a.s.sured when I kill people."
Lightning King: "!!!"
Chotomatte, I said that without thinking through, can I withdraw it? You must not mess around, elder.
Great-Grandma turned off her mobile phone and stuffed it into the pocket of her shorts. Her gaze was cold as it swept through the crowd.
The current Lianghua Temple cannot be said to have brought together the best combatants in the demon descendants community, but it is definitely a group of elite figures at the top of their power. But none of the masters of the seven great families came.
They were a bunch of young people, as usual, were as unreliable as ever. They will never put themselves in danger without completely distinguis.h.i.+ng between the enemy and their friends. Even if there was a little bit of possibility, they wanted to put an end to it all.
So they sent the second and third masters of the family to attend the symposium. In this way, they would give face to Baoze and Buddha Head, but also detach themselves out of the incident.
"What is the reason?" Great-Grandma said in a cold voice, her face expressionless.
"Putting aside the Great Deities Palace, our seven families and the heads of the great clans have a feud to calculate with you." A middle-aged man carrying a cut horse broadsword stood up. He had a beard and triangular-shaped eyes, with a rugged face.
"Who are you?" Great-Grandma asked nonchalantly.
"Zhao Bingliang from the Zhao family."
"Who is Zhao Youxin to you?"
"My uncle." Zhao Bingliang said, "At that time, Li Wuxiang hid the precious treasure of Great Deities Palace and killed many of us. All the people present here have family members who died in his hands. Doesn"t this debt have to be calculated?"
"The man is dead and the matter has ended. What is there to calculate?" Great-Grandma frowned.
"A son bears the debt of his father. My cousin was killed by Li Wuxiang," Wu Qilin spat with hatred.
"Oh, I remember now. You and your cousin were utterly thrashed by Li Wuxiang in the ring during the Taoist Conference that year."
Wu Qilin huffed coldly and did not continue this topic. He said loudly, "Li Wuxiang is dead, but his son is still here. All of us want to know what he had taken out of the Great Deities Palace. These are two different matters, the Great Deities Palace has yet to emerge. If you want us to let the descendant of Li family off, shouldn"t you take the treasure out first?"
Great-Grandma said exasperatedly, "I don"t know what treasure there is."
Wu Qilin chuckled coldly. "You said you didn"t know the position of Great Deities Palace then, but what about now? Li Wuxiang is dead and you wanted to seal yourself away. Even if we had our suspicions then, we know for sure now. You know exactly where the treasure is."
Great-Grandma was unhappy and said, "There is no treasure, sign the contract and get out of here."
"Infinite Heavenly Sovereign, there is a great gathering of elites at Lianghua Temple today, and I am afraid it is not up to you to decide on this matter." In the seat, an old Taoist priest wearing a lotus crown spoke.
"Amitabha." Buddha Head chanted and said solemnly, "The news of the treasure is but hearsay, and no one has seen it. Why be so persistent?"
Zhao Bingliang shouted, "Buddha Head, you don"t know. Just a few days ago, Shen Meng, the third son of the Shen family, tried to test the descendant of the Li family and killed him by mistake."
He paused, looked around the crowd, and said in a loud voice, "Unexpectedly, the next day, the Li family descendant revived and was completely fine. I"m afraid that even you Buddha Head, cannot accomplish this art of coming back from the dead."
"Yes, it"s true." The Shen family representative also stood up. Shen Kuo was the direct descendant of the Shen family, and the biological younger brother of Shen Gong, the master of the family, "My nephew is still hiding in the United States and dare not come back. He personally said that the Li family descendant was dead. As we all know, when it comes to life and death, it will stimulate the potential and thus awaken the bloodline."
"But if he were to die, there is no possibility of resurrection. Even weirder, on my way to the meeting, I received information that the day before yesterday, the Li family descendant defeated Ryder of the American a.s.sociation of Superpowered Beings, relying on his excellent self-healing abilities. Do you remember what the Li family is capable of?"
"Strengthen!" someone said.
"That"s right, but why is the Li family"s descendant ability to self-heal?" Shen Gong remarked in a very provocative tone, "Because of the treasure that Li Wuxiang brought out from Great Deities Palace is most probably on this boy."
There was a heated discussion at the table, and people who did not know went around to inquire about the credibility of the information. After many inquiries, they all got a confirmed answer.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Hand over the treasure."
Everyone"s emotions sky-rocketed and the crowd"s agitation soared sky-high.
"Li Wuxiang killed so many of us, you must hand over the treasure."
"It is fair to hand over the treasure and seek justice for our relatives and friends."
"Hand over the treasure, severely punish the Li family!"
"Hand over the treasure, severely punish the war spirit!"
No one knows who shouted it, but the agitated scene suddenly cooled down.
"What are you afraid of? With Buddha Head being in charge here, would we need to be afraid of a sealed war spirit?"
"Yes, we are not afraid of her. Our wills unite like a fortress."
"Please preside over this, Buddha Head. Hand over the treasure, punish the Li Family, punish the war spirit!"
Rumble.
More than a hundred people got up at the same time, and the scene was quite spectacular.
The leading representatives of several great families and Taoist clan leaders looked at each other, a cold smirk on the corners of their mouth.
Of course, the Unparalleled War Spirit was strong and terrifying, but she had too many limitations and weaknesses. The Li family descendant in this life was like a cub whose deciduous teeth had not even grown out, and cannot be compared with Li Wuxiang. Then there is nothing terrible about the Unparalleled War Spirit herself.
Once a man had a weak point, he was no longer indestructible. As long as one knew the enemy"s Achilles Heels, no matter how powerful the enemy was, they can also be killed.
As long as they do not harm the Li family"s descendant"s life, the Unparalleled War Spirit would not shatter her spirit bead. What was so terrifying about an Unparalleled War Spirit who doesn"t shatter her spirit bead?
Just because they didn"t endanger his life didn"t mean they can"t do anything. They had all kinds of ways to torture the Li Family descendant and not worry about the Unparalleled War Spirit shattering her spirit bead.
There was an example decades ago: the third generation of Li Family"s descendant had been held captive by great families and arranged for women to take turns mating with him.
Unparalleled War Spirit looked on as a disinterested by-stander and didn"t intervene.
Why? Because at that time, the Li family"s third generation had left behind a descendant before he was imprisoned. On the premise that the Li Family"s line of descendants would continue, the bottom line of the Unparalleled War Spirit was far lower than expected. But the end of the matter was disgraceful and could even be described as cruel. After the fourth generation of the Li family descendant"s cultivation became great, he killed all his half-brothers and sisters. No one was left alive.
Knowing clearly the bottom line of the Unparalleled War Spirit, they knew how to force her to hand over her treasure. Before coming here, the representatives of several great families had already discussed it clearly.
They were going to retaliate and suppress the Unparalleled War Spirit at this symposium.
"Please preside over this, Buddha Head. Hand over the treasure," a member of the Shen family said, who rushed out of his seat to the steps. "Severely punish the Li family, severely punish the war spirit…"
A bolt of lightning flashed in the sky, followed by the deafening rumble of a thunderstorm.
The Shen family member erupted with the sound of thunder like an exploding balloon. With a bang, blood, torn pieces of flesh, broken bones spurted out and splashed all over the ground. The remains of him also splashed on the people around them. Blood spattered in front of the great hall, dyeing the grounds red.
The sleet of rain crackled down. Pitter-patter. A summer rain descended swiftly.
