Chapter 739: Chapter 724 Qingcheng Sect
“The Family Head, he… The Family Head has just been killed by that bastard Su Xuan!” Fourth Master Liu struggled to put on a grief-stricken expression as he spoke weakly.
To also clear himself of any involvent, Fourth Master Liu continued, “The one with the highest martial arts, Taoist Chongxu, as well as Zhuge Xuan have also been killed by him. I too nearly died at his hands. After he managed to take us all down, the Family Head was slapped dead by that Su Xuan!”
When Fourth Master Liu personally revealed the death of Li Chenggang, mother of Li Fuyang was utterly panicked and almost fainted from the shock!
“Old Master, how tragic your death was!” And with that, mother of Li Fuyang broke down in tears.
What she hadn’t realized was that all these things had their causes and effects. Had they not engaged in wrongdoing on a daily basis, the Li Family wouldn’t have co to such an end—this was nothing but the workings of Heavenly Dao Retribution.
Seeing Li Fuyang faint from fright and his mother wailing like a banshee, Fourth Master Liu couldn’t help but scorn them in his heart. “If it weren’t for needing you to get close to the core of the Li Family, I wouldn’t bother with you two wastes of space!”
“Lady, now is not the ti to grieve. We must make haste to attend to the Family Head’s body, and also, quickly notify the main branch in the Capital City. We can’t let this slide; we must have our revenge!” Fourth Master Liu said to mother of Li Fuyang.
Hearing this, mother of Li Fuyang snapped out of it, wiped her tears with her hand, and said with hatred, “Right, we must take this revenge. Whoever dares to provoke our Li Family must die!”
After saying this, mother of Li Fuyang instructed Fourth Master Liu, “Fourth Master Liu, send soone quickly to Qingcheng Mountain to invite Old Master Li back to handle the family affairs. As long as Old Master Li returns, Su Xuan must die!”
Old Master Li was Li Chenggang’s grandfather and was already over a hundred years old. He was also a cultivator, and his strength far exceeded that of Fourth Master Liu and Taoist Chongxu.
Decades ago, Old Master Li was a disciple under the master of Qingcheng Hall in Qingcheng Mountain and now he was even one of the Four Elders of this prestigious sect!
Old Master Li originally didn’t involve himself in family affairs. When he left, he had instructed that unless the family faced an absolute catastrophe, they were to never disturb his cultivation!
But now, with Li Chenggang dead, and Li Fuyang practically useless, this could hardly be considered anything less than a catastrophe.
Upon receiving mother of Li Fuyang’s instructions, Fourth Master Liu couldn’t help feeling displeased. His plan was to directly involve the Li Family in the Capital City, so that he could climb the ladder to them. However, now he was tasked with inviting Old Master Li from Qingcheng Mountain. Although irritated on the inside, Fourth Master Liu dared not disobey and nodded before leaving to carry out the task.
Mother of Li Fuyang, of course, had her own plans. After all, although their Li Family was a branch of the Li Family in the Capital City, there was a saying that it’s better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. Once the Capital City’s Li Family got involved, she probably would no longer have any say in matters in Qiuyuan City.
By inviting Old Master Li, she could not only avenge Li Chenggang; two, as Old Master Li was her own grandfather, he certainly wouldn’t usurp their family business. Furthermore, she wanted him to see whether there was any chance for Li Fuyang to recover.
“Su Xuan, just wait until Old Master Li returns; I’ll eat you alive!” Mother of Li Fuyang slamd a vase in fury and exclaid.
…
The next day, the news in Qiuyuan City broadcast a very brief ssage that the city’s Mayor Li Chenggang, due to health issues, had resigned from his position as Deputy Mayor with imdiate effect!
Such a brief and routine piece of news would not stir up much uproar among the public, but Su Xuan couldn’t help sneering coldly upon seeing the ssage.
Having dealt with the Li Family of Qiuyuan City, Su Xuan began pondering if he should also get to know Wang Fangqian, after all, this person had sought trouble with him ti and ti again!
Additionally, Su Xuan called Feng Shanshan, who had been living in fear and trepidation. Of course, he didn’t tell her about the misfortunes of the Li Family. He simply assured her that he had used so ans to force Li Chenggang to resign and that no one would bother her again!
Upon hearing Su Xuan’s words, Feng Shanshan couldn’t help but feel elated. After all, she and her parents had been tornted by Li Fuyang and his family. Now with the complete downfall of the Li Family in Qiuyuan City, she finally felt safe.
To nd things with Feng Shanshan and to make a good impression on her parents, Su Xuan took the initiative to pick up her family and bring them back!
When Feng Shanshan heard that Su Xuan was coming to pick her up, her heart was even sweeter, for in her eyes, Su Xuan was her idol! With their relationship gradually becoming clearer, Feng Shanshan couldn’t express just how happy she was.
anwhile, in another location in Huaxia!
Qingcheng Mountain, a renowned mountain for Taoism in Huaxia, was not very famous at first. However, ever since the ergence of the Qingcheng Sect on the mountain, Qingcheng Mountain began to gain great fa throughout Huaxia.
Lush and green all year round, the trees of Qingcheng Mountain ford a landscape resembling city walls, hence the na Qingcheng Mountain.
With a thousand steps like a jade staircase and winding paths leading to secluded spots, the mountain is known for its tranquil beauty and has been praised as “the most secluded place under heaven” since ancient tis. It is as renowned as the perilous Sword Gate, the elegant Ei, and the majestic Kui Gate.
Qingcheng Mountain is said to have “thirty-six peaks”, “eight great caves”, “seventy-two small caves”, and “one hundred and eight scenic spots”. The mountain has 36 peaks, all of which encircle and resemble city walls.
At this ti, in the third of the Eight Great Cave Mansions of Qingcheng Mountain, an old man with a white beard sat with a cold expression, glaring at a letter, unable to suppress his rising anger.
The Eight Great Cave Mansions of Qingcheng Mountain were divided thus: the Upper Four Caves were the places of cultivation for the Four Elders of the Qingcheng Sect, while the Lower Four Caves were the residences of the Four Great Protectors of the sect.
The old man now, wearing a square cap and a long beard, dressed simply in coarse cotton clothes, exuded an air of an immortal despite his plain attire.
He was currently examining a letter sent by Fourth Master Liu. Upon reading that his only grandson had been killed by Su Xuan, and that his only great-grandson had been crippled by him, even his well-practiced Qi Cultivation Technique couldn’t prevent him from erupting in rage!
“Good, good, good. There’s actually soone who dares to bully . They are simply courting death!” Old Master Li, with eyes flashing with fury, exclaid angrily.
“Child, where art thou!” Old Master Li called out, and a child hurriedly ran in with small steps!
“Master, your disciple is here. What are your orders?” The child said respectfully.
Old Master Li pondered for a mont and then ordered, “Summon Shangguan Zheng for …”
“As you command!” The child, upon hearing Old Master Li’s words, bowed and then turned to leave the cave mansion, heading down the mountain.
