Man covers the sky and conquers all worlds

Chapter 162 A Great Power Rebuilds?

In the dimly lit courtyard, the Princess of Chishui, dressed in a white silk robe, trembled and bowed deeply to the boy in coarse cloth.
"Mr. Li... you are truly remarkable, showing the potential of a young man of great talent!"

As soon as he finished speaking, neither the county magistrate in his black robe with python patterns nor his attendants behind him paid any attention.

They were all somewhat surprised.

In fact, he has been practicing for over fifty years.

Given Leon Lai's age and the difference in their social status, it wouldn't be inappropriate for him to call him "youngster."

On the contrary, they even seemed somewhat intimate.

But... in his eyes, this boy dressed in coarse cloth possessed an indescribable air of nobility.

Combined with his terrifying aura that seemed to reach only the other side of the world!

This actually made the Lady of Chishui County, a peak existence on the other shore, recall the scene when she was in the sect, watching a certain prodigy travel from afar!

The peerless genius he had met had joined the main sect of the Thunder Swamp Holy Land.

In just over forty years, he went from Dragon Transformation to Immortal Platform, and even now, he has achieved the position of Great Power!
His strength is even greater than that of the Great Xia Dynasty's ruler, who is only at the Dragon Transformation Realm!

It can be described as extremely powerful!

And today, he actually met such an unparalleled genius in such a poor family!
"Could it be... that he is a powerful cultivator who has undergone a major transformation?"

As I pondered this, such a crazy idea suddenly popped into my head.

Even he himself was startled by his own idea.

Beside him, the county magistrate, who had arrived with numerous treasures, narrowed his eyes slightly and also bowed to Li Ming.

"I am Li Ning of the Li family from the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty. I have come to greet you, Mr. Li!"

Although he was dissatisfied, he was very clear that his own strength and vision were far inferior to those of this county magistrate.

This is his weakness.

But... there is one who can make this seemingly plain and unassuming county magistrate, who actually harbors a deep sense of pride, bow down.

They are definitely not weak!
I will certainly be worthy of the respect of this county magistrate!
Therefore, as soon as he opened his mouth, he brought up his background!
Li family!

One of the four great families in the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty!

Despite being at the Other Shore Realm, he is second only to the County Lord in Chishui County!

However, if placed within the Li family, one of the four great families, he would be considered an extremely marginal and insignificant member of a branch within a branch!

If we can bring such a genius into the family, and then with the family's support, send him to the branch sect of the Thunder Swamp Holy Land!

So... for a long time, with such achievements, he will rise rapidly in rank, and it is not impossible that he may even be recognized by the main lineage!
Hearing what the two of them said, Dawn slightly raised his eyelids, glanced at them, and nodded slightly.

"Um... I'm sorry to have troubled you two to wait..."

Upon receiving Li Ming's reply, the white-robed county magistrate's eyes brightened slightly, and he said solemnly,

"This is the siege of Chishui County. I'm afraid we'll still have to rely on Mr. Li..."

"In that case, I'll trouble you two to wait a little longer!"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Ming turned and left, leaving behind only a faint remark in this simple and shabby little courtyard.

And... the white-robed county princess, whose body stiffened slightly.

Crunch!

The door directly opposite the main gate of the courtyard suddenly opened, and a strong smell of blood, mixed with a faint, eerie fragrance, instantly filled the entire courtyard.

The white-robed county magistrate slowly withdrew her somewhat stiff and awkward right hand, her face twitching slightly before she instantly regained her composure.

It's as if...the words Li Ming just uttered were never actually spoken.

However, although he was arrogant, that arrogance only applied to the weak. When faced with such a prodigy, reason and worldly wisdom prevailed in his thinking.

Based on the few clues he had, he quickly formed a deduction in his mind.

With many thoughts swirling in her mind, the white-robed county princess slightly raised her hand, summoning a servant from behind her. Her gaze fell upon the depths of the room, and she whispered...

"what happened?"

"According to those below, Mr. Li's father was seriously injured and poisoned on the city wall! And..."

At this point, the servant in blue hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

A ripple of unease stirred within the white-robed county princess; a bad premonition arose within her.

"Say it!"

"And... the number of times he went to garrison the city was taken by someone else, and that person... that person was none other than Madam Xu's younger brother!"

The servant appeared hesitant to speak, but inwardly he was overjoyed.

He also loathed Xu Erlang, who used the title of county magistrate to swindle and cheat people in the city with impunity.

Because this guy was just showing off and actually dared to embarrass him!

In Chishui County, everyone knows that he is the county magistrate's confidant, brought from the capital since the beginning of his tenure.

Although only he knew that he was just someone who had been taken in along the way!
But... that's not important!
"No wonder..."

This woman, Xu Niangzi, although she had no talent for cultivation whatsoever, was the most beautiful woman in the entire Chishui County.

Not long after he took office, he used some tricks to keep her confined in his house, turning her into a canary for his mere amusement.

He didn't care much about what his brother had done.

After all, this person is somewhat talented and has a keen eye for opportunity. He always gets the lion's share of the benefits gathered by leveraging his name.

Moreover... he knew who he could bully at will and who he couldn't offend, so he almost never caused him any trouble.

But this time… the white-robed county princess’s eyes twitched slightly, and she said indifferently,
"Sever the major tendons in his limbs and bring him here!"

Just a canary...

Suddenly, the familiar fluctuations of divine power stirred up a surge of spiritual energy that roared out of the room once more, causing the white-robed county princess's expression to change drastically.
"Such a miraculous medicine! He... is he truly a powerful cultivator who has restored his cultivation?"

……

call!
In the dimly lit room, a single, brilliant candle flame suddenly shone brightly on the wall.

Under the dim yellow light, Li's father's somewhat sallow and pale face was revealed.

At this moment, he lay paralyzed on the bed, his hideous wounds long since closed, leaving only a few fine lines.

But his aura was still waning at an extremely subtle rate.

Once this process comes to an end, it means that Li Yuandao's life essence has been completely exhausted, leaving him utterly drained!
"Xiaoming, your father..."

The woman's eyes were bloodshot, but a glimmer of hope ignited deep within them.

Before this, he had doubted that the seventeen-year-old Li Ming had the ability to save Li Yuandao.

Now, she has no choice but to believe it!
After all... even the two most important figures in Chishui County treated their mysterious stepson with utmost respect.

And... in this family now, her children are still young, and the only one she can rely on is Dawn.

"Don't worry, Aunt Xin!"

Li Ming's gaze swept over Li Yuandao, and a fruit condensed with the essence of the universe appeared in his hand.
