Chapter 97 Entering the Ambush(1/2)
The next morning, Li Baishan came to invite him again.
However, this time, maybe it was because of face, just to let the children come.
Li Man had to decline again, but after Li Renkong persuaded him, he agreed to go.
As he expected, the important tribes of the Li family gathered together, and they were all compliments to Li Man, and they also had a very light and shallow test and asked him about his current cultivation status.
Li Man briefly talked about these things, but did not say much, and everyone did not ask, because this is not the highlight.
After three rounds of wine, Li Baishan was impatient to cry and told Li Man how much the Li family was overwhelmed and that his family's wealth was emptied. I hope he would support him more.
In this regard, Li Man had already had a countermeasure and refused it without any trace for various reasons.
He was completely disappointed with these tribe members. If he hadn't been concerned about his blood relationship, he wouldn't have even stayed here.
In fact, he had already had an idea in his mind about how to develop the Li family.
Seeing that Li Man was not on the trap, although Li Baishan was quite unhappy, he also knew that he could squeeze out his smile and let Li Man practice hard, so he didn't need to think about anything else.
But anyone with discerning eyes knows that these elders of the Li family regarded Li Man as a money tree and treasure pot. The treasures they asked for from Li Renkong have already tasted the sweetness.
When Li Renkong got those treasures, he was upright and had no selfishness. Except for leaving some spare parts, he was basically distributed to talents in the clan fairly.
So many people know that he has treasures left by Li Man.
Therefore, after Li Qianshan died, Li Renkong became disabled and Li Baishan seized power and demanded treasures.
Of course, Li Man was not at all stingy and gave the Li family a few calculating real pills, but the rest were not given at all.
He would never satisfy Li Baishan, who had obtained the spirit stone from Li Renzhang, and he almost turned over the table afterwards.
But he had no choice but to do anything, especially Li Man warned everyone that he would dare to hit his elder brother Li Renkong again, and he would never give up easily, and no one dared to doubt anything about this!
"Xiaoman, how long will it last at home this time?"
The dull banquet dispersed, and the two brothers were still talking about endless topics.
"have no idea!"
Li Man glanced at Liu Xiruo and turned to Li Renkong, "I'm waiting for Brother Zhang and Sister Ying, I believe they will arrive soon."
"Brother Zhang is indeed a man of affection and righteousness!"
Li Renkong nodded, his face a little heavy, and the family's heavy responsibilities were about to crush this iron-clad man.
"Brother, do you still want to be the patriarch?"
Li Man hesitated for a while and asked.
"Haha, can I still be the patriarch like this?"
Li Renkong smiled bitterly and shook his head, then said cheerfully, "Xiaoman, you know, I never want to be this patriarch. I hope that one day you can come back and lead the Li family to strength.
But judging from your current appearance, I am afraid I will never want to go back to this home again!”
Li Renkong has also become a little sophisticated in dealing with family affairs over the years, and of course he can see what Li Man is thinking.
"Haha, my brother understands me the best.
However, it would be better if this patriarch was not a good match, so the second uncle and the others would do it.
Brother, don’t worry, I have an innate pill here. With other treasures, you will become a innate powerhouse in just a few years.”
Li Man smiled.
"If you can't do it, the innate elixir is so precious, give me a waste..."
"Brother, don't say that!"
Li Man looked at Li Renkong with a serious expression, and a disproportionate but convincing maturity appeared on his slightly childish face. "Nanjun Sects are changing now. I am outside, and I cannot care about my family and cannot share my worries for my elder brother. Now that I have caused trouble, I still have to suffer from my elder brother's disability. All the elders of the family and brothers and sisters have died.
Although the second uncle and his friends' approach were heartbreaking, I had to do something.
Since my elder brother has no intention of being the patriarch, I will ask Uncle Hai to accompany you to choose a shop called "Outside Business" and will focus on martial arts inside, and secretly select young warriors from the clan and even in the city.
In my opinion, I will choose from the descendants left by the people in the city moat during the beast tide.
As for the cultivation resources, brother doesn’t need to worry. With my current resources, not to mention a Li family, even ten Li families can support it!”
These words were said in an orderly manner, which made Li Renkong look at him with admiration, and he couldn't even believe that this was his younger brother who was only sixteen or seventeen years old.
Especially the last sentence was like a reassurance, which made him convinced that this younger brother had really grown up.
"well!"
The two brothers' hands were tightly clasped together.
On that day, Li Renkong asked for a Li family shop that had been closed and reopened. Uncle Hai helped him take care of it, and recruited a few smart and capable young people who were already loyal to him, and they were soon ready.
Li Man lived in the clan with discomfort and moved there too.
As for the Chen family, after receiving the news that Li Man returned to the city, they did not dare to show up at all. They even had soldiers, for fear that Li Man would come to the door.
The Chen family is now worse than the Li family, and it is just a person in power in Chen Family Town.
Everyone knows that as long as Li Man is alive, Jiuli City will still have the surname Li!
The slightly anxious wait did not last long. Just three days later, Zhang Chaochang and Huang Ying came to the Li family to meet.
Brothers gather together, and they must have a lot of talk and drink and have fun!
After a warm greeting, the four of them finally decided to practice together for a while.
In fact, Li Man also knew that the Li family was threatened by the Demon Slayer Sect. Although they didn't know the reason, they would definitely not stop. Maybe they would get the news and prepare in secret.
Originally, Li Man did not agree to the three of them taking risks with him, but Zhang Chaochang and the other two insisted on not agreeing. Considering Zhulong's strength now, Li Man agreed.
Even if the strength of the Ghost Killing Sect is strong, they will not use the master monster to deal with their innate cultivation.
As a core innate disciple of the Qingyun Sword Sect, except for the time on the road, everyone has at least half a year to stay away.
After staying in Jiuli City for a few days, the four of them left on a scaled horse without even notifying the people in the family.
Of course, the four of them did not hide their whereabouts. Even if they concealed, they would probably not be able to avoid the eyeliner of those with ulterior motives. Instead, it would be better to leave Jiuli City with a swagger.
This will also make the enemy think that Li Man feels that three disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect are safe and can make the enemy careless.
"Brother, to be honest, what exactly happened in the mine vein?"
After leaving Jiuli City, Zhang Chaochang still asked about the first line of Tianling Stone Minerals.
Since Li Man and Liu Xiruo disappeared, Zhang Chaochang and Huang Ying have turned against Yan Zangfeng on the spot.
Of course, Yan Zangfeng would not tell the truth. He only said that he had a big battle with the ferocious beast, and the earth's veins collapsed and lost the traces of two people.
After searching for half a month but no results, the two of them discussed going back to the sect to bring reinforcements and saw the Qingyun Fireworks. They realized that they were safe and rushed up overnight.
As for Liu Qingshi and Tian Heng, after searching underground for a few days, they couldn't stand the boredom and left early, so they didn't see the blue cloud fireworks emitted by Liu Xiruo at all.
Of course, others can't understand these things.
"That's how it is!"
Li Man briefly explained it, of course he concealed the fact that he took off Liu Xiruo's clothes and healed his wounds.
"Yan Zangfeng, this bastard, is indeed not a thing!"
Zhang Chaochang was furious and his bald head was shiny.
"Brother Man, this Yan Zangfeng is really vicious. It's thanks to your help to help the junior sister escape safely.
If something happened to her, I don’t know how to explain to my master!”
Huang Ying grabbed Liu Xiruo's hand and patted her chest with lingering fear.
Her master is Liu Xiruo's biological mother, a powerful master who has fallen to the innate level in order to nurture her - Su Qianyun.
"I should have done it!"
Li Man secretly looked at Liu Xiruo, and changed the topic with guilt, saying, "Brother, Sister Ying, after going to the Forest City this time, we will go to the volcanic swamp. I heard that the Thunder Cloud Volcano there has a great effect on innate warriors in improving their martial spirit!"
"That's indeed a treasure land!"
No one objected. When the four of them had their current cultivation level, apart from going out to practice and looking for opportunities, even their masters could not teach them much.
In addition to martial arts and experience, the most important thing is practice and practical combat!
Without these, no matter how strong your cultivation is, it is difficult to become a strong man who stands alone.
After traveling for five consecutive days, there was only one day left in Huolin City. The four people who were not attacked along the way did not take it lightly.
"Brother, be careful, the people from the Ghost Killing Sect are inside!"
When he arrived at the entrance of a narrow canyon, Li Man suddenly reminded the three of them quietly.
Zhang Chaochang and the other two had long experienced Li Man's special skills, so they did not doubt it.
In fact, Li Man is not so powerful yet, and it is difficult to discover in advance without seeing people.
Of course, these were discovered by Zhulong!
Although the people of the Ghost Killing Sect are very good at hiding techniques, some things cannot be hidden without any trace, such as smell!
The most important point is that Zhulong noticed the smell of an old acquaintance. It was this smell that exposed the whereabouts of the people from the Demon Killing Sect, which made the four of them have been prepared for a long time.
