This Taoist Master is too Frivolous - Chapter 380
Chapter 380: Chapter 262: Water System Divine Power!
Xu Yang grabbed Yue Niang and used the Earth Escape Skill, turning into a misty yellow light that penetrated the earth.
When he reappeared, he was already outside Li Manor.
He did not stop – he continued to use the Earth Escape Skill several times, appearing next to a road 10 kilometers away from the Li Manor. Then, he waved his hand to summon his Mercedes-Benz from storage space, got in, started the engine, and stepped on the gas – all in one fluid motion.
The engine roared.
The black Mercedes-Benz merged onto the main road and disappeared into the traffic.
At the same time.
Inside the Li Manor, the cries were even louder.
An elderly man with a striking resemblance to Li Yifeng dashed towards the back mountain like lightning!
He was Li Yifeng’s cousin, named Li Yihong.
He was only three years younger than Li Yifeng.
His martial arts cultivation was slightly inferior, but he was also at the peak of the Martial Arts Heavenly Being Realm.
The Longxi Li Clan was immense, and each generation’s competition for the position of the head of the family was brutal… Although Li Yihong was defeated in the competition to be the head of the family, he had cultivated many of his own followers over the years and held considerable influence within the Li Clan.
Li Yifeng’s death was indeed a big deal for the Longxi Li Clan, but for some people in the Li Clan, it also meant opportunity!
Like Li Yihong…
“He deserved to die, he deserved to die!”
“I thought that in this lifetime, I would always be living under Li Yifeng’s pressure… Now that Li Yifeng is dead, there is no one more suitable for the position of the head of the family in the entire Li Clan than me!”
Soon after,
Arriving at the back mountain.
Li Yihong knelt down on the ground, wailing, “Ancestor… There has been a tragedy in the clan!”
“Someone sneaked into the manor and killed the head of the family!”
Li Yihong’s voice was filled with sorrow, and it was even slightly choked. While kowtowing, he said, “The Li Clan cannot be without a leader, I beg the ancestor to come out of the mountain and take control of the situation!”
From within the small mountain, a strong will of martial arts gradually surged.
“What?!”
A furious voice came out, coldly saying, “Who dares to commit such a crime in my Li Clan?!”
Li Yihong wiped his tears and said, “Elder… The head of the family was killed without making a sound. The killer had already fled after the murder, I’m afraid it is difficult to find out his identity…”
At this point,
Li Yihong paused, then said, “The only option now is to look for clues in the injuries… With the head of the family’s strength, there aren’t many experts in the entire Da Xia martial world who could silently kill him with one sword.”
Inside the small mountain, there was a moment of silence.
Vaguely, Li Yihong sensed two or three strong wills of martial arts “talking” to each other.
After a while, a voice spoke—
“Li Yihong, this matter is yours to investigate!”
“Daring to kill the head of my Li Clan, even the ancient emperor would not have the guts!”
“Also, my Li Clan cannot be without a leader; you shall be the head of the Li Clan from this day on.”
“Ah, this…”
Li Yihong was overjoyed in his heart, but on the surface, he said with sorrow, “Ancestor, the corpse is not cold yet, and the killer is still at large. I think at this time, we should focus on properly burying Big Brother Yifeng, avenging him, and wiping out the disgrace for the Li Clan. Besides, everyone in the clan has been under the management of Big Brother Yifeng…”
At this point, Li Yihong paused before continuing, “If I take over as the head of the family at this time, I’m afraid I will not be able to convince the crowd.”
“No matter.”
The voice sounded again, and a thread of true meaning of martial art flew out from the small mountain and landed on Li Yihong.
“Go, the chaos is approaching, and we will be leaving seclusion soon.”
“You should properly manage the family affairs, and there will be great rewards after we leave seclusion.”
Li Yihong was thrilled, stood up, and bowed deeply towards the small mountain. He retreated a hundred meters before turning around and walking down the mountain.
After he came down from the mountain, the first thing he did was to gather all the high-ranking members of the clan together.
“Li Yihong!”
A Li Clan elder with a gloomy face coldly said, “The head of the family has been killed, and you’re not going to pursue the murderer. Why have you assembled us?”
This elder was one of Li Yifeng’s people.
He naturally didn’t get along with Li Yihong.
The Li Clan was vast and had been passed down for more than 1,700 years. After so many years of development, the branches of the family had spread out; the main line and collateral lines combined had more than 100,000 people, right?
With so many people,
It was natural for factions to arise.
Several people stood up and echoed.
They clearly understood Li Yihong’s intentions, knowing that he wanted to seize the opportunity to claim power. However, faced with their rebuttals, Li Yihong remained composed and waited for everyone to finish speaking before he finally stood up and said solemnly, “I understand everyone’s feelings. Like all of you, my heart is filled with sorrow.”
“But our great Li Clan cannot be without a leader… The ancestor has decreed that I succeed as the head of the family.”
From Li Yihong’s body, a faint true martial intent burst forth.
The true martial intent was very faint.
But the pressure it emitted was as if it was a towering divine mountain that made everyone present feel suffocated!
Among the Li Clan high-ranking members present, those from Li Yihong’s line showed an ecstatic expression, while the others bowed their heads!
New officials take office and take three fires.
Li Yihong quickly issued orders.
First,
Find the murderer with all their might!
Second,
Bury Li Yifeng.
“Big Brother Yifeng has worked tirelessly for our Li Clan for decades and has done great work. His funeral must be grand… Moreover, according to tradition, a new head of the family needs to host a banquet and invite people from the martial world… Now that Big Brother Yifeng’s corpse is not cold yet, and the murderer is still at large, I think we should cancel this family chief’s banquet!”
After that,
Li Yihong went to inspect the corpse of Li Yifeng.
“Family Head,”
Someone reported, “The old head was killed with a single blow, his head severed… There were no signs of struggle at the scene, and I have checked the surveillance within the clan, and there are no suspicious traces.”
