Chapter 395: The Li Family, Super Beasts!
“Destroy the Li Family?”
Hearing this, Jade Linglong was initially taken aback before bursting into laughter.
As the master of Profound Sky Hall, destroying a small family was simply a matter of reaching out; there was no need for her to get personally involved.
“Don’t be careless, or you’ll suffer a great loss!”
Seeing the other party’s nonchalant expression, Xuan Qiubai said solemnly.
“This opponent is extraordinary; our entire Worship Hall won’t intervene. You should take care of yourself.”
“Hmph, so what if you’re not there! Please don’t overestimate yourselves. What you can do, I can do too, and what you cannot do, I am still able to achieve!”
Jade Linglong said proudly, completely disregarding the other person’s words.
She had long been dissatisfied with that group of old folks!
After the confrontation, she finally noticed the heavily wounded Profound Song.
Just a glance revealed disdain in her eyes.
“Who took care of him? Wasn’t he quite arrogant usually?”
“I’ve told her long ago that there are heavens beyond heaven. She refused to believe it, thinking she was the best in the world. Now she’s finally learned her lesson; she deserves it!”
The moment these words were spoken, even Xuan Qiubai couldn’t help but feel anger rise within him!
“Is this how you act as a mother? Seeing your daughter being bullied, yet you still mock her? Don’t you think that’s going too far?”
“Going too far!? Compared to what your son did to me, this is already gentle beyond measure!”
Hearing this, Xuan Qiubai’s aged eyes dimmed instantly, and he couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.
“I’m tired. I’ll stay and take care of the girl until she wakes up. I hope you consider seriously what I just said and don’t raise a tiger to trouble you!”
The old man stepped out, leaving behind a hunched figure that vanished from the sight of everyone.
“The Li Family, huh? They actually managed to withstand my series of attacks and even plotted against the Profound Sky Hall. How interesting! In less than twenty years, they transformed from an ant into a little dragon!”
Jade Linglong glanced around and immediately issued orders: “Inform all craftsmen, within three days, restore Profound Sky Hall to its original state. Also, bring the hostage Luo Zhen out and have him wait in the main hall for interrogation!”
No sooner had these words left her mouth than everyone exchanged glances, knowing that there were very few who could identify Luo Zhen.
However, some understood his significance; he was Li Mu’s adopted son and a major reason for the attack on the Profound Sky Hall.
Moments later, an iron cage was pulled into the main hall of Profound Sky Hall.
Inside the cage sat a disheveled middle-aged man; his hair was unkempt, his beard reaching his chest, and he leaned against the cage with his legs spread wide, exuding a casual arrogance.
He resembled not a fallen prisoner but rather a debauched nobleman; there was no fear in his eyes, only a hint of disdain.
His gaze reflected a man who had seen through death, prepared to accept his fate.
“Luo Zhen, you have some nerve. You see the hall master and still refuse to kneel in greeting. Do you wish to suffer?”
The speaker was one of the three Advanced Sages behind Jade Linglong, known as Netherworld Master.
This name coincided with that of the three giants of the small hell, not by coincidence, as the other two Advanced Sages were Xuan Yin Master and Prison Lord.
Jade Linglong naming her subordinates this way indicated her considerable ambition, clearly seeing herself as a deity governing life and death, attempting to rise above all living beings!
“Hahaha…”
Upon hearing the Netherworld Master’s scolding, Luo Zhen couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“You killed my adoptive brother, harmed my adoptive father, imprisoned me for over a decade; what qualifies you to demand my kneeling? I’d rather devour your flesh and use your skin as a pillow. Don’t you find that hilarious?”
“Hmph!!”
Before his words fell, a wave shot from the Netherworld Master’s nostrils, smashing heavily into Luo Zhen.
“Poof!!”
Luo Zhen immediately took damage and couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood, but his expression remained unchanged, even his posture still mocking all those before him.
“Weak and powerless, unable even to kill, and you still dare to call yourselves a top-tier force? You might as well slit your own throats!”
As he vomited blood, he taunted, showing no intention of yielding despite being on the verge of death.
This scene made even the Netherworld Master furrow his brows; Luo Zhen was too tough, and while he wanted to teach him a lesson, he feared the man might not withstand it and would die directly!
“Not moving your hands? What a waste; no one in Profound Sky Hall is worthy of licking my shoes!”
“You’re asking for death!”
Xuan Yin Master couldn’t hold back any longer and was ready to erupt but was stopped by Jade Linglong.
“Luo Zhen, I admire your guts. As long as you are willing to submit obediently and reveal the whereabouts of Li Cheng and his wife, I will bestow upon you unparalleled glory and elevate you to the peak of power!”
Li Cheng was the biological father of Zhou Tong, whose whereabouts remained unknown. The Profound Sky Hall had searched for many years with no results!
“I spit on you! How dare a shameless woman like you try to recruit me? Can’t you look in the mirror to see your own ugly self? If it weren’t for you being the hall master, I wouldn’t even want you to hold my shoes!”
“Mind your words; our tolerance is not your capital for indulgence!”
Prison Lord could no longer bear it and couldn’t help but scold.
“Am I wrong? Isn’t she just a harlot who had an affair and caused her husband’s death and seized the authority of the Profound Sky Hall? Since you did it, don’t act like a victim; it’s disgusting to play both sides!”
Upon hearing these words, Jade Linglong’s complexion turned pale for a moment, and her heaving chest surged violently.
Then, she became extremely cold.
“I summoned you here not to engage in a verbal sparring match. Since you refuse to accept the soft approach, don’t blame us for taking the hard one!”
“Oh? I was born with fine teeth; I can’t take the soft approach; come at me all you want!”
“Hmph! Since you refuse to drink the wine and choose the penal wine instead, bring the person up!”
As soon as the words fell, someone brought forward a chained figure wearing a mask.
Upon seeing this person, Luo Zhen’s pupils narrowed slightly, and waves stirred within him.
“You are… Chen Ju? How did you end up like this?”
Chen Ju was Zhou Tong’s uncle, who had long been rescued; the person before him was an imposter, but Luo Zhen didn’t know that, making him a useful tool for coercing him to submit.
With a loud crack!
A punitive whip struck the imposter Chen Ju heavily, leaving him howling in agony as the flesh split.
“Help me, brother! Save me!”
The imposter crawled on the ground, incredibly miserable, struggling to reach Luo Zhen’s pants leg!
Seeing this scene, Luo Zhen’s face indeed became grave, filled with inexpressible sorrow.
This made Jade Linglong unable to help but smile; this tactic was indeed effective.
Even the hardest hero has a weak spot; using familial ties to blackmail the other was practically foolproof; she had tested it many times.
“You have only one opportunity. If you don’t speak up, we cannot guarantee Chen Ju’s life safety.”
The Netherworld Master said leisurely, trying to apply more pressure on Luo Zhen.
He pulled out an hourglass, flipped it, allowing fine sand to trickle down. It should last for some tea time.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Luo Zhen’s expression grew increasingly sorrowful, as if he would yield at any moment.
“Ten, nine, eight, seven…”
In the final stretch, the Netherworld Master continuously counted down, his voice growing louder, trying to escalate the feeling of oppression to its peak.
As the number “one” fell, he raised a large blade, grinning as he stepped forward.
“Time’s up; you have no more chances!”
He declared with resolute finality, taking slow, deliberate steps forward before raising the blade, halting it at the imposter’s neck.
This series of actions was all meant to pressure Luo Zhen, yet he remained silent, showing no signs of conceding.
This left the Netherworld Master feeling embarrassed.
“I’m going to kill him. With this strike, his head will fall, and his soul will disperse!”
“Oh…”
Luo Zhen only replied with one word, leaving the other party momentarily stunned.
“I’m really going to kill him!”
Upon hearing this, Luo Zhen immediately became furious. “Stop dallying like a woman; are you going to kill him or not? If you can’t, let me do it!”
As these words fell, the entire hall fell silent!
Is everyone related to the Li Family really some sort of super beast?
