Chapter 421: The Backbone of the Li Family
“If you dare to shoot, you will definitely regret it!”
In a moment of crisis, Jade Linglong could no longer hold herself back and hurriedly spoke up.
Until now, she still had one last trump card in her hand.
“What can make me regret?”
The Little Demoness said disdainfully.
“Luo Zhen is in my hands!”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone from the Li Family fell silent; even the Little Demoness couldn’t help but change her expression.
“Yue’er… about this…”
Li Mu tensed up, looking hopefully at the Little Demoness. He truly regarded Luo Zhen, this adopted son, as his own, feeling both grateful and guilty.
If possible, he hoped to save Luo Zhen!
“Grandpa…”
The Little Demoness looked over and saw the struggle in the old man’s eyes, momentarily unsure of what to say.
“Haha… now you finally know the pain, right? I’ll give you one last chance: immediately destroy the Sacred Forbidden Weapon and hand over the schematics and the weapon master, or get ready to collect Luo Zhen’s corpse!”
Jade Linglong said excitedly, feeling that the situation had finally turned in her favor!
“I will never do it!!”
Suddenly, Li Mu clenched his fists, and his eyes turned bloodshot.
“What… what are you saying? Do you want Luo Zhen to die? Do you know how much he sacrificed for the Li Family? You old fool, are you trying to be ungrateful!”
Jade Linglong quickly retorted, standing on her moral high ground and pointing fingers!
“Listen to me!”
Blood vessels popped at the corners of Li Mu’s eyes as he made an extremely difficult decision.
“There are no intact eggs beneath a collapsed nest; our Li Family will absolutely not self-destruct because of this threat!”
“If we really destroy the Sacred Forbidden Weapon, we won’t be able to save Luo Zhen, and we will face irreversible doom. Can I agree to her demand?”
“Absolutely not!!”
The various powers of the Li Family shouted in unison, sensing Li Mu’s determination.
“Hmph, in the end, you are nothing but a coward, ungrateful wretch. If Luo Zhen dies, it will all be your fault, and he will resent you in hell!”
Jade Linglong continued, attempting to morally blackmail them again, leaving everyone speechless.
The dignified Master of the Profound Sky Hall not only failed to dominate through power but could only rely on hostages to protect the sect; it was laughably absurd!
Even more ridiculous was her way of operating, which was truly lowly and eye-opening.
From the beginning until now, Jade Linglong had indeed created history, accumulating the failures of the Profound Sky Hall one after another and lowering its bottom line step by step, shattering the world’s perceptions!
“Luo Zhen would never do that!”
The old man said decisively: “Moreover, you can’t kidnap me; after all, it was the Profound Sky Hall that harmed the Li Family, and it was also you who harmed Luo Zhen. If he is harmed, I will do everything in my power to avenge him, without rest until our death!”
“If I succeed, I will take my own life afterwards and personally go underground to apologize to that child!”
As these words were said, everyone trembled.
They had truly underestimated the Li Family before.
Perhaps it was because the Li Family was too low-key, causing them to overlook a certain spirit within the family.
Absolutely unwilling to yield, absolutely unwilling to compromise, and absolutely unwilling to accept any threats!
Whoever dares to harm them will have to pay an even greater price, even at the cost of their own demise!
They would make sure that all violators gain nothing!
This may sound simple, but it was incredibly difficult to achieve.
Once accomplished, the entire family would become invulnerable, and if they gained enough strength, they would become the number one existence in the world that one cannot provoke.
The Li Family now exhibited such a trend.
“Damn old fool…”
Jade Linglong gritted her teeth. She couldn’t understand why the members of the Li Family were all so difficult; obviously, they were emotional and loyal, even willing to sacrifice their lives for friends and family, yet they would accept no threats.
That Luo Zhen was like this, and this damn old man was too!
For a moment, she felt a bit jealous; if her husband had such qualities, how could she have killed him?
“Girl, take action; don’t mind anyone else. I will bear all the consequences, and I will go to hell to speak with the King of Hell!”
Li Mu nodded at the Little Demoness.
“You dare!! Think it through, even if this old fool doesn’t care, will that little ghost not care? Luo Zhen has helped him, and you are his fiancée; are you not afraid that he will harbor resentment against you?”
Upon hearing this, the Little Demoness did hesitate for a moment, but immediately her gaze turned resolutely firm!
“Perhaps she may be afraid, but this Empress will never be!”
At that moment, the Empress came to the Little Demoness’s side, placing a hand on her shoulder, her expression cold as she said, “With strong enemies ahead, we must not show mercy. If the Guest Senior has grievances, let him blame me!”
“You!!”
Upon hearing this, Jade Linglong was truly frightened; she felt that her last trump card had lost its effect.
“Alright, alright, I don’t believe you can hold firm after seeing Luo Zhen. Bring Luo Zhen out for me!”
With this command, both the Empress and the Little Demoness paused their actions.
Even if they couldn’t save Luo Zhen, it would be good to see him.
But then, the people from the Profound Sky Hall brought unexpected news.
“Not good, Master! Luo Zhen is missing!”
