Chapter 320: You Call It Your Treasure, Will It Answer When You Call?
“Stop hitting her, don’t hit her anymore…”
Lin Ruoxii watched as her mother was about to be knocked unconscious, and directly stepped between the two parties, interrupting their interaction.
“Why are you hitting people!”
“Because this old hag dared to disrupt the assessment, hitting her is already lenient!”
The imperial official said coldly and turned to leave, showing no respect to the “Li Family.”
Watching that person’s back, Lin Ruoxii felt an itch in her teeth from hatred.
She swore in her heart that one day, she would make these people pay!
“The assessment continues!”
The host’s indifferent voice was transmitted over, redirecting everyone’s attention to the arena.
“Li San, kill this old dog for me, even if you have to self-destruct, it doesn’t matter! If you can’t win, just go die!”
Lin Ruoxii watched her family member in the arena and unhesitatingly issued a death threat.
Hearing this, Li San trembled, the light in his eyes completely extinguished.
He felt that everything he had sacrificed for the family over the decades was meaningless, as if he had fed a dog. No, even feeding a dog would evoke gratitude, but the Li couple would not, nor would the white-eyed wolf they had raised!
“Young man…”
Seeing Li San’s despondent appearance, Li Mu couldn’t help but feel pity and hesitated for a moment.
At this scene, Lin Ruoxii went berserk.
“What a hypocritical old fool! If you really pity this running dog, you might as well just give up. That way, he won’t have to die!”
“Otherwise, you will be the culprit who kills him!”
Upon hearing this, the old man’s gaze instantly became incredibly firm.
In the arena, life and death were fated—pitying others, who would pity them from fourteen years ago!?
“Young man, I also have a reason to win. If you insist on dying, leave a last word, and I will do my utmost to help you fulfill it!”
“No need, old man, I don’t want to die!”
Li San took a deep breath, and in the next moment, he seemed to relax significantly, as if liberated.
“I concede!!”
As soon as these words came out, everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief, and Lin Ruoxii felt as if she had been struck by thunder.
This dog servant actually surrendered, who allowed him to do that? Clearly, he still had sacred artifacts in his hands; why not use them!? This was clearly opposing her!
“Li San, you’re really something! Great job, I will make you regret being born into this world!”
Lin Ruoxii roared with a twisted expression, but the next moment, something even more unexpected happened.
Li San did not get off the arena; instead, he knelt on both knees and knocked his head three times towards Li Mu.
“Ancestral Head, I am willing to join the real Li Family. Will you take me in?”
Seeing this scene, even the crowd was completely shocked!
“You dare!!”
Lin Ruoxii was about to go insane with anger and immediately threatened.
“I dare, I dare!”
Li San’s rebellious genes seemed to awaken at that moment, deliberately opposing the other side.
What was even worse was that he pulled out a divine whip from his bosom, radiating overwhelming sacred might, and offered it to Li Mu.
“Head of the Family, this is my sincerity for surrendering, please accept!”
“What are you thinking? Since you’re here, why bring anything with you!”
Li Mu accepted without hesitation!
“Host, Judge, Moderator!”
Lin Ruoxii finally panicked, shouting at the imperial official.
“I report that they are rigging the match; quickly sanction them!”
“Sorry, Madam, we have found no evidence of match-fixing, and Li San voluntarily surrendered. As for siding with the Li Family afterwards, that is his freedom, and we have no right to intervene!”
“Even so, at least make him return the sacred artifact to us!”
“That is your sacred artifact? I only see an ordinary whip; does it have your name on it? When you call it, does it answer?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruoxii was about to curse, but suddenly her eyes lit up.
That divine whip was indeed a genuine sacred artifact, and it would surely bear the spiritual imprint of the Li Family.
She slapped the unconscious Li Congxin beside her awake, ordering him to quickly get to work!
“I understand, Madam. You’ve crossed the line, Li San, daring to betray the family, I will ensure you have no place to rest!”
After hearing the whole sequence of events, Li Congxin spoke ruthlessly.
“Less talk, quickly call the sacred artifact back!”
“Okay!!”
Li Congxin closed his eyes, attempting to activate the imprint on the divine whip, but unfortunately, there was still Zhou Tong sitting there.
The imperial level spirit, combined with an imperial weapon and a divine tool creation stele, plus the Art of Arms assisting, let alone a sacred artifact, even a Holy King’s artifact would have to change its surname if it fell out of hand!
As expected, in an instant, the imprint on the divine whip was completely erased, losing all reaction.
“It’s impossible! What have you done?!”
Li Congxin exclaimed in shock, but no one could answer him!
Just as he was about to speak again, the imperial official interrupted him.
“Time is limited; please unrelated personnel stop stirring the pot. I announce that the first participant from the Mu Family has been defeated!”
“Will the Mu Family choose to concede here and deliver the wager, or let the second participant continue on?”
“Li Si, you go! You’d better not follow Li San’s example; this battle can only be won, not lost, or you know the consequences!”
The Li couple was desperate, having lost their minds, wanting to seize the opportunity to take down Li Mu without a break!
After all, they were still unwilling to admit the fact of defeat!
“I will emphasize once more, if Li Si fails, you will be completely eliminated!”
“Bullshit, Li Si cannot lose!”
In their excited shouting, Li Si stepped onto the arena.
“Young man… have you heard of a talisman called No. 94?”
Li Mu slowly pulled a spirit talisman from his bosom, and upon seeing this, even Zhou Tong perked up, ready for a counterattack.
If this talisman detonated, even a sage would suffer!
“Wait!”
Li Si seemed to see his great-grandmother waving to him and quickly stopped the other’s movements.
“Old man, we are all a family of tool creation. Since we are to compete, shouldn’t we compare things that everyone is good at?”
“You make a point; so what do you propose we compete in?”
No sooner had he spoken than Li Si pulled out an even more dazzling Purple Gold Red Gourd from his bosom.
This made Zhou Tong’s heart skip. This gourd was undoubtedly a sacred artifact level treasure, while the one he had taken was merely a counterfeit.
“I call you, will you answer me!”
Li Si opened the gourd and shouted towards Li Mu.
As Li Mu hesitated, he suddenly heard Zhou Tong’s instruction in his ear, and immediately felt reassured.
He also took out a Purple Gold Red Gourd from his bosom, unhurriedly asking.
“I call you, will you answer me?”
