"What to do, what to do, how the hell am I going to answer. Do you want to deceive him, or answer truthfully? But to say to a father, 'Your son is dead,' is also too cruel. I can't open my mouth. ”

Suddenly, a firm voice sounded in Li Yan's mind: "Tell him that Li Yang was killed by robbers in order to protect you." ”

This voice was not from the Blood Sea Demon Lord, but Li Yan's own.

Li Yan knew that this voice was asking for something to prove.

And he himself didn't want to know the status of Li De's heart.

This question was too tempting for him to refuse.

"Father, Li Yang...... He was killed by robbers to protect me. ”

Li Yan said sadly.

Li De originally pretended to be an understatement, as if he was inadvertently asking a rhetorical question, but now after listening to Li Yan's words, the teacup in his hand was instantly crushed.

In his eyes, there was an unconcealable sadness, and for a moment he seemed to be several years old.

The hot tea dripped down his fingers, dripping all over the ground, but he didn't mean to let go.

"Father, what's wrong with you? Are you alright?"

Li Yan hurriedly asked with concern, a strange brilliance flashing in his eyes.

"Oh...... I'm fine. ”

Li De realized that he had lost his temper, so he hurriedly restrained his expression, and said Mu Ran: "Since he died to protect you, then he died well, I remember his hometown, and some relatives, you must treat his relatives well." ”

"Got it, father. ”

Li Yan lowered his head and replied, and at the same time thought to himself: "It turns out that you still care about me? Hearing that I am dead, you will also feel uncomfortable and sad." ”

Knowing this answer, he was satisfied.

Li De's fierce emotions in an instant could not deceive him.

Today is the whole day, and he is the happiest at this time, even happier than breaking through the Heavenly Realm.

"Alright, let's go. I still have things to attend to. ”

Li De waved his hand and said to Li Yan, and the moment he turned around, his expression was inexplicable.

"Yes, father. ”

Li Yan took a step and walked away, he knew that Li De needed time to digest the news of his son's death.

Although this son is only an illegitimate child.

But, it is also his son, his blood, flesh and blood.

Back in the room, Li Yan sat on the bed, also restless.

On the way back before, he also thought about how to answer the news of Li De and Li Yang's death, but when he really faced it, he realized how difficult it was.

How heart-wrenching.

"Okay, don't be a mother-in-law, like a woman. Anyway, you're not dead, why are you so sad. I really don't understand you humans. ”

The cold voice of the Blood Sea Demon Lord came, which seemed very abrupt, but it lifted Li Yan's spirits.

"Senior, what are you looking for from me?"

Li Yan asked.

"Of course there is something, you have now checked all the memories of that Li Yan before, do you know how he died?"

The Blood Sea Demon Lord asked coldly.

"Yes. ”

Li Yan nodded, his voice slightly hoarse: "He agreed with you that you use the blood seal to help him cultivate, and he will provide you with the power of the blood element to help you recover." On that day in the cave, it was the day when Li Yan provided the power of blood yuan. As a result, he saw that his cultivation had been absorbed, from the ninth layer of the mortal realm, to the eighth layer of the mortal realm, and it continued to decline, and soon fell to the seventh layer of the mortal realm, he couldn't stand it, so he rebelled, wanting to compete with you for the power of the blood element. As a result, his true qi reversed, and he went mad, and he couldn't bear it himself, and was devoured to death. ”

"That's a good point. ”

The Blood Sea Demon Lord said: "I give you the Blood Seal to help you improve your cultivation, and every once in a while, I need you to feed back to me, this is a very simple investment and return relationship." He took my investment and didn't give me anything back. You say, 'Can I spare him?'

"No, you can't. ”

Li Yan shook his head bitterly.

Speaking of which, the previous Li Yan was really self-inflicted, if he didn't resist, he wouldn't die. Even if he died by himself, he had nothing to say.

The Blood Sea Demon Lord is the devil, how can he forgive people who don't keep their promises, so there is the following thing.

"Good, you're now seeing the benefits of the bloodmark as well. Then I will tell you clearly, the next time I devour the power of the blood element, it will be two years later. The amount of devouring is probably just the amount that will make you fall from the early stage of the Heavenly Realm to the ninth layer of the Mortal Realm. If you don't want to fall after being sucked by me, it's best to quickly improve your strength now. Otherwise, in two years, you will be miserable. I've heard that falling from the heavenly realm to the mortal realm is not pleasant. ”

"I see, thank you seniors for reminding me. ”

The words of the Blood Sea Demon Lord made Li Yan fall into deep thought.

Entering the Heavenly Realm, the cultivation speed of a cultivator will become very slow, and it is almost impossible to quickly improve his strength.

Unless, there is some adventure against the sky, such as the blood mark in his hand.

Li Yan thought for a while, and said bitterly: "Senior, you just tell me, kid, hurry up and kill people, the more people you kill, the more blood power the blood seal absorbs, and the faster your strength will increase, otherwise, just wait to be devoured by me." ”

"Hey, that's what I meant. ”

The Blood Sea Demon Lord smirked, sounding harsh.

Li Yan said angrily: "Senior, I have to complain, your blood mark is, to a certain extent, also a pit." ”

"Haha, that's right, my blood mark is a pit. It's you who pits. ”

The Blood Sea Demon Lord laughed happily and said, "Moreover, since you have entered the pit, you can only continue to kill, otherwise, hehe......"

The implication is self-evident. If you don't give me something in return, then you can only die.

As a demon, he would not spare Li Yan just because he was happy to talk to Li Yan.

Li Yan's eyes rolled, he thought of something, and said: "Then senior, you and that Li Yan must have a plan before, it is impossible for me to go to the street and kill people." In doing so, I myself will be treated as a murderer and be caught and killed. ”

"Of course not, you little ghost, you are really clever enough to trick me. Demon Lord, I'll tell you my previous plan, you sit down for me and listen to it......"

So, the Blood Sea Demon Lord told Li Yan about his original plan.

It was late at night.

The stars are all over the sky, the stars are dotted, and there is a beautiful scenery in the sky.

Li De leaned against the window, looking at the bright moon above his head, his eyes heavy.

Li Yang's death hit him hard, and until now, he has not been able to calm down.

"Master, our people found Zhu Jianwen's foothold, but let him run away again. ”

I don't know when, the Li family's housekeeper, Zhou Yong, stood behind Li De and said slowly.

"Our people, what are the casualties?"

Li De didn't turn around, looking at the moon's eyes, but suddenly froze.

"Zhu Jianwen's strength is very strong, the two Heavenly Realm killers we sent were killed and injured. Lost track of him again, and has not yet found him. ”

Zhou Yong didn't know what the head of the family meant, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Master, do you want to revoke the assassination of Zhu Jianwen?" You offered a reward for a low-grade magic weapon in the Dark Star, plus 50,000 taels of gold, and there have been four Heavenly Realm killers who have accepted this task, but these four killers have not killed Zhu Jianwen, but have been killed by three. Because of this, we have also paid Dark Star a large amount of compensation, is it a bit more than worth the loss?"

"You're right, it's not worth it. However, we can't revoke the bounty, but rather increase the bounty reward. Zhu Jianwen is the younger brother of the head of the Zhu family, and his strength is in the middle of the Heavenly Realm, and the number three person in the Zhu family, killing him will definitely deal a heavy blow to the Zhu family. ”

Li De pondered for a moment, and said loudly: "You send me a message to the Dark Star, and the bounty will be increased to 200,000 gold, and in addition, I will give them an additional five spirit crystals." ”

"Master, is this too valuable? Our Li family, there are not many spirit crystals, this is a scarce material, and refining magic weapons is essential. ”

Steward Zhou frowned slightly, Li De's reward was enough for a strong man in the late stage of the Heavenly Realm to make a move.

Because, spirit crystals are very important to the existence of the Heavenly Realm, and any force will try their best to collect spirit crystals, and rarely sell them.

In Zhou Yong's view, this level of effort is really not worth it.

"It's fine. ”

Li De turned around, looked calm, and said: "The spirit crystal is just a dead thing, and if it's gone, it's gone, but being able to get rid of Zhu Jianwen, the big enemy, is very good for our current situation." In the past two years, Zhu Jianwen has been operating in our Li family's territory and secretly collected a lot of information from us. So, he had to be eliminated. ”

In the end, Li De's words became categorical, fully reflecting the bearing of a family head.

"Yes, I see, sir. I'll do it. ”

Zhou Yong took a deep breath and slowly exited the room.

Li Deyou sighed, looked at the moon above his head again, and muttered: "Xiaowan, I'm sorry for you, I didn't protect your son, I didn't fulfill my promise to you, if you want to punish me, just come on." ”
