Two Realms High Martial Arts: Gathering the Heavens to Become a Great Luo Immortal

Chapter 173 Life and Death Sword Sect, Blood-Clad Tower, Prince (Second Update)

Whether it was Li Jingde, Li Yan, or their trusted servants like the steward,

No one would believe that Li Xijun could cultivate to the [Qi Accumulation Realm] in ten days.

Because everyone believes,

This is the result of Li Xijun's secret martial arts training.

He just felt that his sister, the sister of the White Tiger Saintess candidate of the Star Palace, was coming back tonight.

Therefore, he no longer wanted to hide his strength and reveal his martial arts talent so that his sister could take him to the Star Palace for cultivation.

Most people only thought of this much.

Therefore, although surprised that Li Xijun was not a good-for-nothing playboy, but rather a person of strong character and maturity,

But that's it.

At most, people thought the master would be angry, but in the end he would give in to his son and compromise.

However, the butler, who had been subtly sensing over the years that Li Xijun's identity was not right,

At this moment, a cold sweat broke out on his back, fearing that the master might make a move at the banquet and do something astonishing.

Li Yan, who had always regarded Li Xijun as a cover for his own actions,

Recalling how easily she had been deceived by Li Xijun in the past,

After being constantly made a fool of by this cunning guy,

He was also furious and even had murderous intent.

If it weren't for Li Qinghan's presence and the fact that he had used Li Xijun as a cover to enter the Star Palace, he would have really wanted to take action right now.

He also hoped that Li Jingde, who had been tricked, would fly into a rage and teach the other party a lesson.

Anyway, Li Xijun has always been a front used to conceal his true identity.

Even if we go a little too far, it doesn't matter.

But to everyone's surprise...

This even surprised Li Xijun.

After laughing until he was almost in tears, Li Jingde beckoned Li Xijun to sit down next to him.

Not only that,

He actually poured Li Xijun a glass of wine himself, and then poured one for himself, tilting his head back and drinking it all in one gulp.

"You...you...even I, an old man, can be wrong about things."

Li Jingde shook his head repeatedly, his expression a mixture of a smile and a sigh:

"This is the most surprising thing for me tonight, I must have a few more drinks."

finished,

He drank several more glasses and kept pouring wine for Li Xijun.

This immediately made the atmosphere of the entire banquet relaxed and lively again.

Most people believe that "the father is still better than the son."

The old man, who had always been reluctant to let his sons learn martial arts, eventually acquiesced to this attitude.

Li Yan grew increasingly annoyed and confused, but due to his public status, he could only sit at the same table as the butler. He drank a few cups in frustration, head bowed. The butler, on the other hand, felt increasingly cold inside, looking at the table full of delicacies without having the strength to touch his chopsticks.

Because he could clearly see that his master had just stopped caring about something as taboo as the young master practicing martial arts.

Combined with the fact that starting three months ago, Li Jingde gradually became indifferent to the wealth and possessions in his mansion, and even to everything else, eventually giving away money to himself at will.

Several thoughts raced through the butler's mind:

"Is the master perhaps terminally ill?"

"His attitude now clearly reflects that of someone whose days are numbered."

"I've really started to not care about anything anymore."

"But why did I never notice anything like this before?"

The housekeeper was puzzled, but his unease only grew, so he kept drinking something to calm himself down.

the other side,

Li Xijun was also filled with curiosity as she looked at the adoptive father in front of her.

Based on his previous memories, the other party's attitude of wanting to ruin him and their stance that he couldn't learn martial arts were correct.

But this is the reaction now?

and!

Li Xijun, with his powerful mental state, clearly sensed it.

The other person's laughter just now clearly conveyed a sense of relief and exhilaration, as if they were about to die.

Considering the sincerity in my heart when I stepped into the Li residence tonight, and the crisis I foresaw,

This made Li Xijun realize that perhaps tonight's crisis did not originate from Li Jingde, but from the outside world.

But what was the trigger?

Almost instantly, after drinking the glass of wine poured by the other person, Li Xijun looked at Li Yan at the other table.

"So, all along, Li Jingde has been having me cover for Li Yan?"

"Will there be an assassination attempt targeting Li Yan tonight?"

"But why tonight of all times?"

Li Xijun is becoming increasingly curious and looking forward to tonight's events.

Holding the formidable combat power of the original body in his hand, Li Xijun withdrew his gaze.

He turned and chuckled as he looked at Li Jingde, then casually poured him a glass of wine as well.

This made Li Jingde on the other side even more amazed.

But at this moment, he didn't care about any of that; he simply accepted it calmly.

Until the moon reaches its zenith,

The banquet at the Li residence was more than halfway over, and many people had drunk quite a bit of wine, to the point that some servants were behaving in an unseemly manner.

Suddenly, a huge black cloud appeared and blocked out the moonlight.

An unexpected breeze swirled and howled through the night sky, finally blowing towards the Li family courtyard.

Suddenly, a strong wind arose in the courtyard, dust flew everywhere, and petals and leaves were blown all over the place.

"boom!"

A deafening roar, as if the earth were collapsing, suddenly exploded!

The two heavy, sturdy vermilion doors of the Li residence, along with their frames, were smashed to pieces from the outside by an immense force, splintering wood chips...

Gravel flew into the courtyard like a torrential rain!

"kill!"

The cold, emotionless voice, like a proclamation from the deepest hell, resounded throughout the entire Li residence.

! Swish! ! Swish!

Dozens of figures, like ghosts, surged in simultaneously from the broken gate and the surrounding high walls.

They were all dressed in robes soaked in dark blood, their faces covered with pale, expressionless masks, and the long swords in their hands reflected a chilling, unsettling glint in the remaining moonlight and lantern light!

"When the Blood-Clad Pavilion, a subordinate of the Life and Death Sword Sect, is at work, nothing is spared!"

The person who had spoken earlier issued the order again.

These dozens of assassins, all at the Qi Accumulation Realm, moved swiftly, coordinated perfectly, and were ruthless, instantly transforming into machines that reaped lives.

Plop! Plop! Plop!

The dull thuds of sharp blades piercing flesh echoed one after another!

The servants, who had just been drunk and laughing, suddenly had their heads shot into the sky without warning. Scalding blood splattered on their companions' terrified and contorted faces. The laborers who tried to escape were instantly torn apart by several sword flashes, their severed limbs and internal organs scattered all over the ground.

The martial arts guards roared and drew their weapons to defend themselves, but their blades were as fragile as paper in front of the Blood-Clad Tower's killers. With a flash of sword light, blood would bloom from their throats or their hearts would be pierced.

A piercing scream, inhuman in its despair, a mournful cry of despair, a dying groan—instantly echoed throughout the courtyard.

The pungent, nauseating stench of blood permeated the air, instantly turning the entire Li residence courtyard a glaring crimson.

What was just a place of joyous celebration has now become a slaughterhouse.

"Blood-Clad Tower!"

Li Jingde had already stood up abruptly when the incident first occurred, and his sharp shout, filled with shock and anger, came at the opportune moment:

"My Li family has never provoked the Life and Death Sword Sect or the Blood-Clad Tower. What are you trying to do?"

"Hehehe!"

The leader stood with his hands behind his back atop an ancient tree in the courtyard, and mocked:

"The emperor is a tyrannical and incompetent ruler, and his fate has been unknown for years. Three months ago, the crown prince also died suddenly... Now, the only remaining member of the royal family is the illegitimate son of that tyrannical emperor and the Azure Dragon Venerable of the Star Palace."

"Eunuch Li, don't you know why we're here tonight?"
