Chapter 678 Another Case of Seeking Death with Morality (Seventh Update! 19700 Monthly Tickets Added! Please Vote!)

Li Changqing did not comment on Li Qi's response, but said, "Li Qi, you've come back just in time. In about ten minutes, we will have guests, but they will not be hospitable."

“We are surnamed Li and we honor the Dao Ancestor as our ancestor. But at the same time, there is another family of saints in this world, the Li family, which has been recognized as the direct line of the Dao Ancestor throughout the dynasties.”

“Now that you have risen to fame and achieved the highest honors in the imperial examinations, the Sage Li has also set his sights on me, wanting my Tiannan Li family to be recognized as a branch of the Sage Li family.”

"Actually, if that's all there is to it, it's not a bad thing. Returning to the Holy Race will provide them with more protection."

"But I do know some secrets. This Sage Li has some kind of evil method to transfer fate. Although I can't be sure if this is true or false, there's no need to gamble on it."

"I say this to remind you that the people of that clan may try to tempt you with other things. After all, they are direct descendants of the Dao Ancestor, and they have some genuine skills that can be of great benefit to cultivation."

"But in this world, there's no such thing as a free lunch. If there's no reason, why would such a great benefit be shared with outsiders?! There's not enough for even our own people."

Li Changqing recounted the story in detail. He was a wise and experienced man who saw through everything.

He even knew that Li Qi must have understood this perfectly well, and that his words were meant to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.

In this world, many people are brilliant and capable throughout their lives, but due to a brief moment of infatuation, they fail at the last minute, and all their hard work goes to waste.

Some scriptures describe this situation as being caused by the calamity's influence on the mind.

Although Li Qi is now astounded by the Seven Immortals and possesses extraordinary talent, it is absolutely impossible for him to escape all calamities.

If it truly is a great fortune or a great calamity, then under the convergence of calamities, one might not be able to avoid being misled.

Upon hearing this, Li Qi nodded, and at the same time, he sensed something in his heart and immediately understood the ins and outs of the matter.

The lineage of the sage Li had indeed harbored designs on him for some time, but this family was too weak to affect his fate at all, so he didn't sense it even with his utmost sincerity.

The reason why the Knight King was so sincerely sensed by him was because the opponent's challenge would hinder his path, and the tribulation that blocked his way was naturally sensed.

Sage Li is different. Although he harbors malice, the Nine Provinces are under the protection of the Xuan Emperor. As long as Li Changqing is not confused, and he himself is not confused, he cannot be affected at all.

As for malice, Sage Li's slight malice was similar to that of those who wanted to study him. There were too many such people, and they didn't have the drive to act, so Li Qi simply ignored them.

At the same time, Li Changqing was only half right. This Sage Li not only wanted him to take his place in the calamity and seize his great fortune, but also wanted to seize his fighting spirit, which was the best in the world for thousands of years.

"Behind this Sage Li, there is actually a mysterious entity similar to a great will, which I cannot truly sense."

"Furthermore, it turns out that two hundred years ago, the direct line of Sage Li was wiped out by a collateral branch. The one who orchestrated all of this was this mysterious being. This person is not human, but a special kind of will."

"It's about seizing someone's fighting spirit. The Frozen Saint overseas also has this idea and this method. Could it be that they are on the same side?"

"However, neither the Great Will nor this newly emerged mysterious existence dares to stir up trouble in the shadows, nor does it dare to stand in the open. Clearly, it is not strong enough."

"It's true that even the most venerable spirits struggle to attain sainthood. These things don't even have a vessel. While they possess divine power, they're really not very effective in combat." Li Qi pondered to himself. At the same time, he knew that this method of seizing someone's fighting spirit, or even their talent, had limitations and couldn't be used indefinitely.

The lineage of Sage Li, having worshipped a mysterious being for two hundred years, has only accumulated enough power to seize power once.

Clearly, this power may not even belong to the mysterious entity itself; it is very likely some kind of mystery deep within the Void Sea.

In Li Qi's estimation, the true origin of the path to the extraordinary is a mirror. Mirrors, with their ability to replicate, should be considered the most basic element.

"It's one thing to plot against me, but to actually blatantly defy me. Fine, at my current speed, I'll head out as soon as it gets dark, wipe out his entire family by midnight, and be back by morning."

Li Qi made up his mind, convinced that the other party had a just cause for death.

He is now actively sensing things and has some insight into the future; he even knows what will happen next.

However, unless it is a sincere warning, he will not bother to constantly observe the various possibilities of the future.

Compared to doing that, he devoted most of his energy to comprehending the universe and humanity, and refining his own achievements.

Even now, while he is chatting with Li Changqing, most of his energy is being used to comprehend the Dao and deduce his own Qiyuan Method. He is making progress every moment and is stronger than the last.

For him, looking at the future is a distraction.

Once Li Qi made up his mind, he stopped thinking about the matter and simply chatted with Li Changqing, talking about what he had seen in the mountains.

Although he didn't actually spend much time in the mountains, his profound understanding and insight were clearer than that of many people who spent their entire lives in the mountains.

The human world has its own order, and the mountains also have their own law of the survival of the fittest, with all kinds of life forming a large natural cycle.

After chatting for a while, there was a commotion outside the door. A dozen seconds later, an old man and a young man walked in.

The old man had white hair and beard, but a ruddy complexion. He looked like a young man with white hair, and had a certain air of Taoist wisdom. If this man were to tell fortunes in a park, his appearance would definitely make many people think that he was a master.

In fact, Li Wenshu was indeed skilled in feng shui and numerology, but he was not a kind person. He appeared gentle on the surface, but in reality, he was ruthless and vicious, extremely cunning and scheming, and also eloquent and persuasive. Anyone with a lower level of skill would inevitably be deceived by him.

As for the young man accompanying him, he was ostensibly his nephew, but in reality, he was his son. It can only be said that large clans are often chaotic. The current Sage Li, this so-called direct descendant, was not properly appointed to his position. In addition, the mysterious figure behind him was unclear and not a good person. Naturally, the conduct of the entire family was also problematic.

"Old man, we've finally met."

Li Wenshu said he didn't care at all, as Li Changqing was only about twenty years older than him.

He then continued, “You should know why we have come. There are many storms in this world. Only by sticking together can we withstand the storms. If this matter is accomplished, our lineage of the Sage Li and your lineage of the Southern Li will be able to help each other.”
