Chapter Ninety-Six: The Li Family
At night, it was pitch black, and in the moonlight, a figure leaped out of the temple and disappeared into the street like a gust of wind. It was Ling Yun who explained the situation to Situ Xianhua and decided to go to Li's house and talk to Li Mofei about it.
Today's Li family is very unpeaceful, and while he is worried about Li Ying, he also wants to know Li Mofei's situation. He walked through the streets, swept past the shops, and according to the information given by the leader of the mercenary group, he soon found the address of the Li family.
The Li family's super-large courtyard is located in the center of the city, a downtown area, and dozens of families around it surround this large courtyard in the middle. Quite standing out from the crowd, Ling Yun cautiously touched it and observed the Li family up close.
It's midnight, but the huge courtyard is still brightly lit, as if it were day. The crowd came and went, as if they were all doing something. Ling Yun was extremely cautious and cautious when he approached here, he jumped lightly onto the wall, leaned on the wall, and observed every move inside.
Originally, this time, he planned to come here late at night to meet Li Mofei secretly. I don't want anyone in the Li family to know. But now it seems that something is slightly wrong. Something seems to have happened to the Li family. He leaned forward, his eyes more focused. I saw dozens of people in tattered clothes kneeling side by side in the middle of the courtyard, including old and young, men and women, all of them showed a common denominator, all of them stared at the Li family standing with torches on both sides with resentful eyes.
Ling Yun suddenly felt extremely strange, what was going on, and who were those people kneeling on the ground. He originally planned to find a way to find Li Mofei, but now he has temporarily extinguished this thought. The Li family is so big, and it doesn't seem to be very peaceful tonight, it will be extremely dangerous to find someone in this situation.
Ling Yun thought in his heart and figured out the situation in front of him first. At the top of the hundreds of Li family members with torches around, near the hall, there was a golden chair, and at the top of the chair sat an old man with a white beard, tall and wearing a gray robe. At this moment, he was smiling and radiant, with a pair of slightly tricky eyes, and he kept sweeping towards everyone in the field, and his face was looming and revealed, a touch of cruelty that was not easy for others to notice.
When Ling Yun saw this person for the first time, he couldn't help but feel a sigh in his heart, and he unconsciously felt a little fearful. This old man's cultivation is a little terrifying! From such a distance, the momentum that spreads through at will almost overwhelms him. His cultivation seems to be stronger than Uncle Hua's.
"This old guy is not simple, it is estimated that he is some heavyweight of the Li family. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been here. With this old guy in charge, it seems unlikely that he will enter the Li family tonight. No matter how much it is, let's see the situation first," Ling Yun muttered to himself.
Ling Yun was thinking about it, there was already movement in the courtyard of the Li family, and a middle-aged man kneeling on the ground suddenly raised his head, glared at the old man and scolded loudly: "Li Zhenghai, you old beast, in vain Elder Taishang and the patriarch trust you so much, I didn't expect you to do such a thing." What you are doing is trying to destroy the foundation of the Li family!" After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he became more and more indignant.
"Hehe, what do you know? Elder Taishang? That old bastard, since he chose Li Mingfeng as the patriarch of the Li clan, all of this today has been doomed. The old man has endured it for too long. This Li family is finally going to fall into my hands, even if there is some cleaning, the old man will not hesitate to do it. The old man named Li Zhenghai said with a sneer.
"You...... , you have lost your heart, and for the sake of this so-called right, you did not hesitate to kill our own people. Aren't you afraid that the Supreme Elder or the Patriarch will come back to punish you?" the middle-aged man raised his head and asked angrily.
"Haha...... , This is the biggest joke that the old man has heard in recent days? Elder Taishang treats me? Patriarch treats me? Elder Taishang The old guy has been in retreat for many years and is not alive, saying that he wants to realize life and death and break through the ninth-order mark, but who knows if he died in the back mountain. Even for such a big event as the opening of this wasteland, he didn't come out to preside over it. I look at the suspense, besides, even if nothing happens to him, he doesn't care about the affairs of our clan at all. Unless our Li clan really comes to the time of life and death, and we want to extinguish the foundation. Maybe he will come out, otherwise the usual struggle for power and profit within the clan, and the large-scale contradictions with other forces, even if most of our Li clan is killed or injured, he will never blink an eye. Moreover, as long as the old man really squeezed Li Mingfeng down, no matter what kind of means the old man used. can prove that the old man is stronger than Li Mingfeng,
More qualified than him for the position of patriarch, that old fellow had made the wrong choice. When the time comes, even if he comes out, he will naturally admit that the old man is the most suitable person to be the patriarch of the Li clan. He looked at the people holding torches around him, and then at the ragged Li clan members kneeling on the ground, and the smile on his lips was even worse.
Then he said, "Li Mingfeng?" The old man felt even more ridiculous. Didn't you notice that he hadn't returned to the Hui clan for more than half a month? Even when the old man launched a clan rebellion, killed most of the people in his lineage, and even hunted down his own grandson, he didn't show up. Is he
Is he a fool? I don't know all this? I think let's wait for him to escape from the hands of the master of the Nine Shadows Sect! He doesn't know if he will have his life back. Li Zhenghai continued to laugh wildly.
This time, the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground did not speak, and Ling Yun's heart was suddenly shocked.
"What? The grandson of Li Clan Patriarch Li Mingfeng was hunted down and killed? What's going on? Isn't Mo Fei the patriarch's own grandson, could it be him? How many grandsons does the patriarch of the Li clan have? Damn, why is it feeling worse and worse in my heart. By the way, even if the patriarch's grandson in his mouth is not Mo Fei, now that such a big change has happened in the Li family, the old Zamao wants to seize power. I'm afraid Mo Fei's situation is also extremely unfavorable. Where is he, I came to look for him today, but I didn't expect that before anyone could find him, he would encounter such a bad thing. Ling Yun said secretly in his heart.
Ling Yun's gaze looked into the courtyard inside, and his expression became more and more solemn. When the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground heard this, his eyes almost wanted to breathe fire. "You old beast, I really didn't expect you to dare to collude with the big sect with the ambitions of the wolves outside and assassinate the patriarch for that little selfishness. Do you know what awaits our Li family once the patriarch is dead? I'm afraid that our Li family will be wiped out in an instant, and it will be swallowed up by the outside world.
"Hehe, don't worry about this, the old man will take his place after Li Mingfeng's death. At that time, the Nine Shadows Sect will support the old man, who dares to go against my Li family. Isn't it just that every ten years, the quota for the Li family to enter the wasteland will be handed over to the Nine Shadows Sect? This price can still be paid by the old man. It's a big deal, our Li family doesn't want the quota to enter the wasteland. Although the wasteland is good, the resources in it are not something that a family clan like us can have, so it is better to hand it over happily. You can also get the blessing of the Nine Shadows Sect. The old man reached an agreement with the elders of the Nine Shadows Sect, once he took control of the Li family, all the places that entered the wasteland would be given to them. Only then did they get their support and promised to send a master to kill Li Mingfeng. Li Zhenghai became more and more happy, an old face full of wrinkles, constantly shaking up and down.
