Talisman Emperor
Chapter 57 – Li Ming
Pine Mist City, Li Clan, Ancestral House.
Allegedly, the Ancestral House contained the most outstanding cultivation techniques that had been passed down by the ancestors of the Li Clan to this day and the various spirit pills used for cultivation.
At the same time, the Ancestral House contained various extremely brutal training sessions and was able to torture one until they were covered in bruises, and life was worse than death.
However, in the heart of all the disciples of the Li Clan, the Ancestral House was still the sacred cultivation place they wanted the most in their hearts. As long as they could become stronger, what was suffering from the small difficulty and endured the slight pain?
Unfortunately, the Ancestral House was the vital center of the Li Clan. Other than direct disciples or disciples with outstanding natural talent, others had no hope of taking a step into the Ancestral House in their lives.
Today, the door of the Ancestral House that was tightly shut for several months, slowly opened.
The step! The step! The step!
Waves of steady and powerful footsteps echoed in the deep and quiet path of the Ancestral House, and after a short moment, a young man walked out of the darkness. It shocked Li Ming, the youngest son of the Li Clan patriarch Li Yizhen!
However, he was a completely different person when compared to before, his clothes were slovenly, his hair was disheveled and he had an unkempt appearance, seemingly having not bathed for several months. His white skin was rough and dark, and his originally swollen and reckless eyes had already become as gloomy and sharp as an eagle now, shining brightly.
“So it turns out the feeling of having power is actually very beautiful. ”
He clenched his hand. His once white palm was now filled with calluses and the bones in his hand had become large and thick. When he clenched his hands tightly, a ferocious and ferocious aura suddenly shot out from his body.
"Second Young Master, the Patriarch has asked to meet you. "Iron Hand, who was shrouded in a ball of dark shadow came out from the darkness, and his sharp and gloomy voice like a poisonous snake flicked his tongue as it was hidden in the shadows.
"Uncle Iron Hand, please lead the way," Li Ming said respectfully. At this moment, when he had the strength, he finally understood just how frightening the cultivation of the Iron Hand, which was willing to become a shadow and be followed by his father's side the entire time, was.
The Li Clan Main Hall.
Li Yizhen sat upright in the middle position and on both sides were many Li Clan elders. Everyone's gazes descended on Li Ming simultaneously as they watched him enter.
Li Ming could feel shock and disbelief within this gaze, and this feeling was extremely overwhelming. It felt very pleasant to him, but his expression was calm and his pace was unhurried. After cupping his hands to greet him, he sat quietly in his chair.
"Three months of time, reaching the perfection stage of the Innate Realm of the Pascanatal Realm, was not bad, not bad. ”
The Grand Elder, Li Fengtu, spoke first, his expression revealing happiness as he said with a smile, “Now, Li Huai has been following Miss Su to enter the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain for a month, he might have already found the abode of the immortal sword. this time . It couldn't have been better if he could have gotten luck inside of him. Yizhen, you have brought two good sons into the world! "
"Grand Elder, you're too kind. “Li Yizhen is very happy to get compliments from the Grand Elder.
Li Fengtu smiled, then his expression became solemn as he said in a serious tone, “I actually gathered everyone here today for a very simple matter, that is to decide who will inherit our Li Clan. Although Li Ming was not bad, he was a little young, and there was a gap with Li Huai. I suggest Li Huai inherits the position of our Li Clan Patriarch, what does everyone think? ”
"Grand Elder, your sharp eyes are like torches in the dark, Li Huai is indeed not bad due to his outstanding talent and mentality among his friends as well. ”
"Yes, I agree for Li Huai to inherit the position of Patriarch. ”
"Ha huh! Of course, it had to be Li Huai. After he returned from the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain this time around, he might have already captured Miss Su's heart and helped bring about the relationship between our Li Clan and the Su Clan through marriage. This way, won't our Li Clan's status rise as well? ”
…
All the elders agreed with Li Fengtu's opinion.
Li Ming who was quietly sitting at the side felt extremely uneasy in his heart when he saw this.
If it was in the past, he wouldn't have bothered about any of this at all. Because he was too weak and could not compare to Li Huai who was like a genius whom the gods favored.
But it was different now, he already had great strength. Although he was still inferior to Li Huai, who could be certain that he would not surpass Li Huai in the future?
"Since everyone has approved of Li Huai, then .. Hah?" Grand Elder Li Fengtu had not finished speaking when the door of the Main Hall was suddenly pushed open violently.
Manager Wu had an expression of fear as he ran over staggeredly, then knelt on the ground before loudly shouting. "Patriarch, Elders, this is a disaster! The Light of Soul Vitality Young Master Li Huai .. has been extinguished! ”
Kacha!
The teacup in Li Yizhen's hand fell to the ground and shattered into a pile of powder.
Li Huai is actually dead?
Everyone's faces became extremely gloomy, and for a moment, the atmosphere within the Main Hall became extremely gloomy.
They held a clan meeting this time to confirm Li Huai's status as the next Patriarch, however, the results had not even been announced when they were informed of the news of Li Huai's death. Who could accept such a sudden change?
"Could an accident have occurred in the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain?"
“How is it possible? Li Huai followed Miss Su. Allegedly, there were still a few more disciples from the great power of Dragon Lake City with them. How could he face disaster? "
…
After a short period of silence, angry cries burst out within the Main Hall.
"Shut up!"
Li Fengtu shouted explosively, and when he saw everyone shut their mouths, he said coldly, "Everyone knows that the trial of the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain is only for a month's time. After a month, all of the cultivators inside would be teleported, and only those who had entered the sword immortal residence would be able to continue staying with the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain. ”
"The next time the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain is opened is three years from now, so, even if we are filled with more hatred, we will not be able to see the culprit for another three years. Then, is there any meaning in discussing this matter now? ”
"Grand Elder, what do you mean?" Li Yizhen forcefully endured the grief of losing her son, and her voice was low and hoarse.
"The urgent matter at this moment was to choose the person who would inherit the position of Patriarch in the clan. Since Li Huai was lost, then it would be changed to be assumed by Li Ming. '' Li Fengtu took a deep breath and said word for word. “Everything, losing a clan member is nothing. The important thing is that we can all not only drown in sadness, and make our close ones rejoice and make the enemy happy! ”
"Yes!" Everyone's faces went solemn as they agreed simultaneously.
Li Ming was a little in disbelief as he stared at everything that was happening before his eyes, I easily became the one to inherit the Patriarch's place?
He was far from sad or happy about Li Huai's death because he had lived in Li Huai's shadow since he was young, so the relationship between the two brothers was not so good.
But when he thought about how he became the one who inherited the Patriarch's place due to Li Huai's death, he felt as if he had eaten a fly in his heart. He felt very disgusted.
This is not what I want!
Li Ming roared in his heart, I already have strength and I am not inferior to Li Huai. The day will come when I prove it to you all!
"Li Ming!"
The Grand Elder's voice rang out in his ears, and Li Ming woke up from his chaotic thoughts, then he stood up and cupped his hands. "Grand Elder's. ”
"Don't think it's just because you've been chosen to inherit the Patriarch's place that you will definitely be able to obtain. You must use your strength to prove yourself to be seen by all the clan members. Only by gaining the recognition of everyone will you be able to become a qualified Patriarch! ”Grand Elder said in a deep voice.
Li Ming's gaze swept past his father and the many elders, and a high sentiment surged within his head as he said clearly. "Dad, Elder, I will definitely live up to your expectations!"
As he spoke here, Li Ming pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and continued. "Sister is gone. Then from today onwards, I have decided to replace her not only at the Patriarch's place, but I also want to marry Miss Su of the Su Clan of Dragon City! ”
"Oh, what are you planning to do?" A trace of strange light flashed in Li Fengtu's eyes.
"Since the Su Clan has agreed that as long as we humiliate the Chen Xi family to death, they will betroth Miss Su with my Li Clan. I'll start from here. ”
Li Ming replied without hesitation. “Of course, Li Huai always did this plan. But please calm down Grand Elder, I will be more ruthless and better than my brother. As long as they are in contact with the Chen Xi family, then I will not let any of them go! "
"Do you have a target?" Li Fengtu continued to ask.
"Yes! The boss of the Zhang General Store Pine Mist City, all the talismans made apprentices under him, and all the neighbors within 300m of Chen Xi's house. ”
A trace of madness flashed in Li Ming's eyes. "I want them all dead, destroyed! I want to tell everyone in Pine Mist City that they died because of Chen Xi! I want everyone to know that even if they have a little bit of a relationship with Chen Xi, then they will definitely face death and destruction! "
What a cruel and extreme character!
Many of the elders present were panting, and their gazes when they saw Li Ming could not help but carry a trace of worry. Is such a temperament suitable to inherit the Patriarch's place?
"Good!"
Grand Elder Li Fengtu was silent for a long time, yet he suddenly clapped his hands and praised. “Losers are always wrong, and only the strong are respected. As long as it is beneficial to my Li Clan, it is still feasible even if your methods are a hundred times more terrifying! ”
Li Ming was anxious and scared after he finished talking about his plan. At this moment, he couldn't help but be very happy for suddenly gaining the recognition of the Grand Elder, and he cupped his hands and said, "Please don't worry Grand Elder, please don't worry, it was not only in the interest of the married to Su Jiao, it was also for the sake of the strengthening and expansion of our Li Clan in the future. I will definitely deal with Chen Xi until the Su Clan is satisfied! "
As he spoke, a trace of regret could not help but appear in Li Ming's heart. Unfortunately, that child, Chen Hao, had left Pine Mist City. Otherwise, I will let him see his brother, Chen Xi, slowly being tortured and humiliated by me to death. That's all it'll be fun …
"According to my knowledge, Chen Xi had followed Du Qingxi to enter the abode of the immortal sword, and she probably wouldn't appear in the next three years. This period of time is enough to do anything. Li Ming, do you understand what I mean? ”Li Fengtu asked.
Li Ming nodded.
Li Fengtu said in a heavy voice, “Go! If you can take care of this matter beautifully and make the Su Clan satisfied. Then with my status as a Great Elder, I will guarantee that our Li Clan Patriarch will definitely become you! "
"Yes!"
Li Ming took a deep breath, then turned around and left. He knew that this was a test for him, and at the same time, it was the best chance for him to change his fate.
