Li Xiang the Immortal
79 - Massacre

Li Xiang who was currently 14 years old was walking in the corridor to go to his father's room. The house is very large and there are quite a lot of bodyguards and servants in this place.

A few months ago, his father was lying on the bed. He never opened his eyes at all. As if he was 'sleeping'. The more days the less good. The longer, Li Jun's strength grew weaker. He doesn't know why his father could be like that. Even the healer who examined him could not detect any problems on his father's body.

Li Xiang tried to help by finding out about the science of medicine in his family library. But unfortunately, he had found no way to cure Li Jun of the condition.

"Ah, finally. soon that time will come. He will soon die with the poison. After all, he had continued to eat the food I had poisoned during this year. He must have not noticed it, because the poison I gave him did not change the taste or smell. I also just gave him a little at a time, so no one knows if there's poison in the food."

Li Xiang stopped when he heard the voice of someone in the room he passed by. The room is a place for meetings. However, there was no meeting today. At the door there were no guards.

"My husband is great. After getting rid of the woman, you will also immediately get rid of the sister-in-law and after, you can become the leader of the Li clan. Your wish can be realized now."

"Well, but actually back then I was planning to kill that unlucky child. But there's something I didn't expect. Not her dead, but her mother. I didn't even know he was going to kill his own mother. I didn't really notice what was going on at the time. How could a weak child like him possibly kill a person of Hua's level? Though his strength was at the level of 5-star earth.

Well, even now his strength is decreasing until he is only at the level of a 3-star emperor. This incident happened since she gave birth to the child, her strength was decreasing. Even when the child was not born."

"Is that? I just found out."

"You've helped me, Yi'er. Without poison from you, we won't be able to take over the Li clan's power. Though I have been taking care of the Li clan for months now, but they do not want me to take his place as the clan leader, huh. What do they expect from that fool?! They think I'm weaker than him?!"

"Let's calm. soon your wish will be realized."

Li Xiang directly opened the door in front of him firmly, causing a loud noise. His expression looks angry. He could conclude, if his uncle was the cause of his father's illness, "So you're the cause of my father's illness until now?!"

The two people in the room were shocked. The two of them were Li Jingmi Yang, Li Jun's younger brother. Li Jingyi was his wife. "You." both stood from where they were sitting.

"So all this time, you guys did it?! You guys poisoned dad just to gain a position as clan leader?! You betrayed father!"

Li Jingmi neutralized her shock. "Ah, you've heard it. You shouldn't have to know this, but what else?" he smiles.

"Then if you knew, what would you do? Put it on people and drive us out? What can you do? Will they obey you? Ah, more precisely, will they believe your words?" Li Jingmi.

"Uncle is right. I wouldn't be able to do that. I don't have any proof either." Li Xiang said. He clenched his hands, "Did uncle and aunt really do it? In fact, they were good to me. Is it all just a lie?"

Li Jingmi smiled, "You won't be able to do anything. Despite your status as the Young Master of the Li clan, but you are not considered that way by them."

Li Jingyi just silently listened to her husband's words.

"What did you say about Mom?" Li Xiang said arriving.

"Ah, you apparently heard about that too, huh? What if we told her what her father had hidden from her, Yi'er?"

Li Jingyi smiled sinisterly, "I want to know her reaction. It might be nice to tell him."

"Listen, Xiang'er, you definitely don't know if Li Jun is hiding something from you. For example, the truth about your mother's death a few years ago. You know, the one who killed him wasn't an intruder. Then who do you think did it?" Li Jingmi smiled obliquely.

"Your mother died because of you. From the beginning, I wanted to kill you. I put the evil spirit into a container and got your mother possessed by them. I told the waiter to tell you to go to the man-made forest behind the house because your mother was looking for you.

I've imagined you dying at the hands of your own mother with your father who will witness it. But I didn't expect, it wasn't your mother who killed you. Unless you killed your mother right in front of your own father."

Deg

Li Xiang was surprised. What does that mean, his mother wasn't killed by an intruder like his father used to say? But killed by him? And his father witnessed all that?

"He won't tell you the truth. Because he doesn't want you to feel guilty knowing it. He told me that you were possessed by an evil spirit, so you could do something like that to your own mother.

You know what not? Jun seemed to be very disappointed by what happened back then. His own son killed the woman he loved. You may have seen it well back then, but you don't know how much he hurt when he saw something like that right in front of his eyes.

And just so you know, I was there too. I saw what you've done. It's very surprising." Li Jingmi smiled sinisterly. "You don't remember that, do you?"

Li Xiang was silent with a blank look. What does all that mean?! If that was true, then indirectly, he had already hurt his father's feelings. He even killed humans. Moreover, it was his mother. The principle is never to kill a human being. He never wanted to kill someone. He does not want to be a murderer. His gaze looked at both of his palms. "I. who did it?"

"Young Master! You turned out to be here! We gotta get out of here!"

Li Jingmi and Li Jingyi turned her attention towards the direction the voice came from. Outside, Yan Cheng stood up with breathless gasps.

"Secte stream white–"

Uncompleted Yan Cheng spoke, an explosion sounded not far behind him. He was startled and reflexively turned around to see what was happening.

The fluttering dust made a slightly obstructed view, "Well, it turns out that the people of the Li clan are still quite a lot, yes. Though, I heard that most of the people of the Li clan died from that plague. Even so, still this much. hm.. The Li Clan was indeed the strongest clan with the most number of people compared to the other clans in this eastern continent."

After the scene disappeared, a man was seen standing in white clothes. There was a sword he held in his right hand.

***

The place suddenly turned into a room with a man sleeping on his bed. His eyes were closed, even though beside him right now was a man in white clothes raising a sword to kill him.

Li Xiang who got a long incision on his chest was currently face down on the floor. Blood soaked his clothes. "Ugh.." he felt pain. For the first time, he got a wound this bad.

But, he could not stand by to watch his father being killed by the white sect man. At the very least, he had to fight back and buy time until help came. And yet, he doubted. Is there maybe some help coming here? After all, everyone must also be in trouble right now.

However, Li Xiang stood up. He walked slowly closer to the man, "Don't approach my father.."

The man stopped. He glanced at Li Xiang. "Even if you're just a kid, that doesn't mean I'm gonna let you go. You guys have already used the devil cultivation technique. The entire Li clan must be wiped out, without exception."

Li Xiang gritted his teeth, "We didn't do that!"

"Maybe some of you didn't do it, but you'll still die. You may seek revenge in the future. So it's better to take care of it until it's left unnoticed, isn't it?" The man smiled slantedly. Without further ado, he directly thrust the sword into the heart of the man lying on the bed. After that, he just pulled it out.

Blood came out from the tip of Li Jun's lips. Even under these circumstances, he did not open his eyes.

"Dad..!!" Li Xiang was surprised. His feet immediately stepped quickly toward his father, "A-dad.."

"Haha, it turns out that the leader of the Li clan is this weak right now huh? It's easy to finish him off. We should've attacked since then if we knew it was like this."

Li Xiang looked at his father's face with a sad look. Even his eyes shed tears. This was the second time she cried. What is stalling? He was silent when the man was about to thrust a sword at his father. He couldn't respond. He didn't do anything.

"There's no need to be that sad, you'll catch up with him soon, too.."

Li Xiang immediately stood up, turned around and resisted the attack that the person made by grasping the sharp part of the sword using two hands.

"What?! You're.."

Li Xiang felt a pain in his bleeding palm. But more painful is to see the person he loves die right in front of his eyes.

The man drew his sword from Li Xiang's grip. But the boy won't let go "You dare too.." His other hand immediately took something from behind the clothes. He intended to attack Li Xiang using that dagger.

Realizing that, Li Xiang stomped on the man's foot and took out the dagger he was holding while off guard. Without further ado, Li Xiang directly stuck it right in the heart of the man.

Jlebb

The man who came from the white stream sect was shocked. He coughed up blood, before his body finally fell to the floor, "When you are only a weakling who cannot cultivate.." He said before he finally died.

Li Xiang was equally surprised. Blood splashed on his face and hands. He was too angry because of what he had done to his father. He had no intention of killing the man at all. The tip of the sword and dagger he was holding fell to the floor and he retreated backwards.

"W-what have I done..? I.killed him.." His golden-coloured irises seemed to fade and turn red. He killed a human 'again'? Even this time, he did it consciously even in an emotional state.

"I-I didn't mean to.. Why would I.. do that? I killed someone.." His gaze became empty.
