Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

"Mu An is an unparalleled genius, destined to shine in the world from birth. His cultivation has no bottlenecks, and he has never encountered any difficulties since birth."

There's nothing he can't do if he sets his mind to it. A person like him will never understand the hardships of ordinary people like us, nor will he ever comprehend our despair.

You could practice martial arts your whole life and still not even touch the threshold of the innate level.

And him? He became a Celestial Martial Saint in his early twenties, and now he has even stepped halfway into the true pinnacle of the world.

Tell me, having seen someone so dazzling, how could your unfaithful wife and that child, whose paternity is uncertain, possibly respect you?

"Enough! Wang Wan is not unfaithful, and Le'an is my child too, there's no mistake about that!" Li Xiangwan suddenly burst out, interrupting the old master of the Li family with a sharp voice.

"Heh... That's right, this little brat has mediocre martial arts talent, so naturally he's your offspring. Mu An's offspring wouldn't be so ordinary!"

But ask yourself honestly, does this little brat really care about you?

"Compared to you, his biological father, wouldn't he rather go to the Mu family and find a godfather?"

Each word felt like a sharp knife piercing Li Xiangwan's heart, his face grew increasingly grim, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

Seeing Li Xiangwan's state, the old master of the Li family still did not give up. He continued to provoke her, intending to completely drive her into a corner.

"Would you like to make a bet with your grandfather?"

"What kind of bet?"

"Let's bet on tonight whether your loyal wife will return home, or whether she will abandon the reputation of our Li family to beg for her unparalleled childhood sweetheart."

His knuckles gradually turned white. Li Xiangwan gritted his teeth and stared intently at the old master of the Li family.

"After all this talk, you still want to join the Blood Robe Sect. I just don't understand, what benefits did the Blood Robe Sect promise you that make you want to drag our entire Li family down with you!"

Having his true purpose exposed, the old patriarch of the Li family showed no panic. He tapped the ground with his cane, his voice carrying a hint of seduction.

"Your grandfather was a member of the Blood Robe Cult, and your father was also a member of the Blood Robe Cult. Do you think that just because we've been exposed, you can wash your hands of all this?"

That guy surnamed Mu is like a mad dog, killing any cult members he catches. If he's exposed, Wang Wan might survive, but what makes you, Li Xiangwan, have the leverage to make that killing machine spare your life?

The almost threatening words made Li Xiangwan's veins bulge. He completely abandoned his respect for his elders and stared intently at the old master of the Li family.

If it weren't for his last shred of manners, he would have stabbed his own grandfather to death right now.

"Who do you think caused this situation? Mu An is at the height of his power; even the Great Qi Dynasty has to give him some leeway. What makes you, an old man, think you can fight him?"

Seeing that Li Xiangwan was extremely angry, the old master of the Li family remained calm.

He pressed down on Li Xiangwan's fist, which she was about to throw, and spoke in an almost manic tone.

"The Holy Sect's Venerable Wu Ma is about to break through to the level of a terrestrial immortal. As long as he sacrifices another city, he will be able to step into that supreme realm, become the new leader of the Holy Sect, and lead our Holy Sect to conquer the world."

Li Xiangwan felt that his grandfather had completely gone mad, and he asked in return.

"So what? Qi'an City a few years ago, and Jiangzhou two years ago—didn't those prove that the God of Slaughter is not afraid of any terrestrial immortals?"

Upon hearing Li Xiangwan's words, a strange light flashed in the eyes of the old patriarch of the Li family, and his wrinkled old face curled up into an ugly smile.

"Mu An is formidable, and we can't do anything about him, but the daughter he's so obsessed with isn't so formidable..."

"Mu Ling'er? That young lady is always surrounded by at least a hundred guards, and there's even a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm secretly protecting her. What makes you think you can capture her?"

The laughter inside grew increasingly sinister, causing Li Xiangwan to unconsciously furrow her brow.

"My dear grandson, haven't you heard the rumors circulating? This young lady isn't this god of death's biological daughter!"

Li Xiangwan pondered for a moment before hesitatingly speaking.

"Is the rumor true? Is this young lady really a survivor of the Blood Robe Cult's attack on Princess Yongning back then?"

"Hehehe!!!"

Amidst the gloomy laughter, the old master of the Li family slowly spoke.

"More than ten years ago, Venerable Weiyang of my Holy Sect killed a family surnamed Mu in Qing'an County. Coincidentally, this family was Mu Ping's confidant back then."

After that day, a little girl entered the Mu family, and this girl is now the eldest daughter of the Mu family.

Li Xiangwan's brows furrowed more and more. He considered all the possibilities, but still couldn't think of any solution.

"So what?"

"What if this young lady doesn't know about her background?"

Li Xiangwan suddenly looked up, slightly surprised, at the old master of the Li family.

"The Blood Robe Cult wants to use this young lady to deal with that god of death?"

The old patriarch of the Li family stroked his long beard, his smile growing increasingly sinister.

"At the age of teenagers, curiosity is at its peak and psychology is at its most sensitive. This little girl has been too well protected, and no one around her has told her the truth."

Since that's the case, let the Li family tell her what really happened back then.

Could a teenager remain calm after hearing news of their enemy?

Old Master Li paused for a moment, "It's interesting, the Holy Sect's Sheep Protector is currently in Yongzhou. If he only shows a trace in Lingzhou, the outcome is self-evident."

A series of dangerous remarks sent chills down Li Xiangwan's spine. He could already imagine the chaos that would engulf Qishan Road once the matter was accomplished.

More importantly, what appeared to be Old Master Li seeking his opinion was actually telling him something.

Whether he participates or not, the plan will be carried out. As long as Mu An is not completely defeated, the Li family is completely finished!

With that murderous temperament, not a single member of the Li family will be left alive!

In other words, Li Xiangwan now only has two choices: either participate in the plan or report it to Mu An.

Thoughts raced through her mind, and after realizing the crux of the matter, Li Xiangwan abruptly lowered her head.

He then realized that there were three shadows on the ground.

He stared intently at his grandfather, sneering repeatedly.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"My dear grandson, are you willing to make this bet with your beloved grandfather? If my granddaughter-in-law returns to the manor tonight, the bet will be over; if she doesn't..."

"I'll bet you! But let me tell you, if Wang Wan returns with Le'er today, I will personally report her to that Grand Commander! Even if I die, I won't let you drag the entire Li family down with you!"

……

As Li Xiangwan stormed back to her room, a mocking female voice suddenly rang out in the dimly lit room.

"Are you so sure you can win this bet?"

The old patriarch of the Li family, who was sitting at the table, stood up and bowed towards the location of the roof beam.

"It's to let the Venerable One know that winning or losing doesn't matter, the outcome was already decided. It's just out of consideration for the bond between grandfather and grandson that we're giving him a little hope."

The woman on the roof beam chuckled.

"Hehe! How vicious! No wonder you were trained by Wei Yang. Compared to you, I, this insignificant little snake, am far inferior."

"Protector, you jest! That damned Mu An killed my followers and then beheaded the Holy Church's Rat Protector, repeatedly sabotaging the Holy Church's important affairs. He deserves to die no matter what!"
