Chapter 146 - 146 Li Xuandao's Death!

146 Li Xuandao’s Death!

“Everyone, please disperse.”

After Lin Wudao left, Li Duantian looked at Li Chengtian’s corpse and forcefully suppressed the sorrow in his heart. Then, he spoke to everyone weakly.

...

Everything that happened today could be said to be the great misfortune of the Li family.

In the past 5,000 years, the Li family had never suffered such a huge humiliation and blow. In one day, they had lost two outstanding young masters.

Moreover, the clan leader was also unable to recover.

This birthday ceremony could be said to be a huge blow to the Li family.

It was imaginable that it would not be long before today’s matter would spread throughout the entire Heishui Ancient City, and even inside and outside Jiuzhou.

At that time, the Li family would surely become the joke of the world.

Regarding this, although Li Duantian’s heart was filled with anger and sighs, he was unable to change the situation.

“Who exactly is scheming against my Li family? First, it was Li Chenzhou, then it was Li Chengtian. Why do I feel like someone is deliberately targeting Li Xuandao? Could it be that one of his enemies did it? To be able to possess such unfathomable methods, it seems that the other party is no ordinary person…”

He frowned.

He pondered the identity of the mastermind, but no matter how he thought about it, he had no clue.

Li Duantian sighed deeply.

“Men, collect Li Chengtian’s body and find a good place to bury him.”

“Yes.”

A few guards walked out from the crowd.

Soon after, they carefully collected Li Chengtian’s corpse and retreated respectfully.

“Recently, unless necessary, try not to leave the family to avoid attracting trouble. I have a feeling that someone is plotting behind all of this. For the sake of safety, everyone should be careful.”

“Yes.”

The group of Li family members bowed in agreement.

Following this, with all sorts of thoughts, they gradually left the Purple Cloud Hall.

Not long after, the originally noisy Purple Cloud Hall was desolate.

After they left, Li Heishui also used the magical ability of the invisibility jade talisman to leave the Li family without anyone noticing and returned to his residence.

Whoosh!

What they did not know was that just as everyone left one after another, a sneaky figure suddenly sneaked into the Li family residence with the help of the invisibility jade talisman.

Furthermore, he followed them to the courtyard where Li Xuandao was.

“Sigh, I’m still a step too late. I missed the best time to watch the show. I believe Brother Ren has already arrived at the Heishui Ancient City. I wonder where he is now? After I kill Li Xuandao, I have to contact him as soon as possible. The Path to Heaven is about to descend into the world. I have to complete the big job before that,” The mysterious man muttered.

He was wearing a large black cloak and on his face was a mysterious ghost mask. His appearance was somewhat similar to Lin Wudao.

This person was none other than the Mad Daoist whom Lin Wudao had arranged to meet.

He had hurried over, but he was still a step too late. He did not see the wonderful show that the Li family had just put on.

For this reason, the Mad Daoist felt extremely regretful.

However, although he was a little unhappy, he did not forget about the important matter.

“According to my plan, I have to kill a big shot of the Li family, and it’s best if it’s an old ancestor. Hmm, since Li Xuandao’s mind has been severely injured and he’s crippled now, I might as well kill him. Once he dies, my plan will be considered half-successful. Then, I can inform Brother Ren to collect corpses, hehe…”

Whoosh!

He silently entered Li Xuandao’s room.

At this moment, Li Xuandao, who had suffered a huge blow and was spiritually heavily injured, was lying unconscious on the bed.

At the same time, members of the Li family were taking good care of him next to the bed.

“With so many people, it’s a little difficult. Fortunately, I managed to obtain a Resting Divine Curse from that stingy old man. It’s said to be able to make a Heavenly Cycle realm expert die silently. Most importantly, it leaves no traces. This item is most suitable for Li Xuandao now.”

As he spoke, the Mad Daoist took out a mysterious black jade talisman and crushed it.

Whoosh!

The jade talisman shattered, and a strange black gas surged out and instantly fused into Li Xuandao’s body. No one noticed the entire process.

Immediately after, the Mad Daoist could feel that Li Xuandao’s life force was being eroded by a mysterious force and was draining away at a terrifying speed.

In just a moment, it was all gone.

With that, Li Xuandao died silently in his coma.

“The Resting Divine Curse is indeed powerful. Now, I’ll just have to wait for the big fish to take the bait. Once Clan Leader Li Xuandao dies, they’ll most definitely open the Li family’s ancestral land and bury him inside. At that time, my chance to dig graves will come. At the same time, Brother Ren can also happily collect his corpse, hehe…”

The Mad Daoist revealed an evil smile.

To dig graves, he would do anything.

Next, to confirm that there was no mistake, the Mad Daoist checked again to make sure that Li Xuandao was really dead. Then, he left the Li family in satisfaction.

…

“Not good! Someone, come quickly! The clan leader is dead!”

Not long after the Mad Daoist left, a burst of panicked cries came from Li Xuandao’s room.

Everyone was scared out of their wits.

They immediately reported the news of Li Xuandao’s death to Patriarch Li Duantian, as well as the members and young masters of the Li family.

“What? The clan leader is dead?”

When they suddenly heard this news, everyone turned pale with fright.

Whoosh!

The moment he received the news, Li Duantian appeared in Li Xuandao’s room in a flash.

Upon closer inspection, there were indeed no signs of life on Li Xuandao’s body.

“What’s going on? The clan leader was fine before. How did he suddenly die?” He questioned sternly.

Hearing this, the clansmen who had been serving Li Xuandao instantly trembled from fright.

“Ancestor, we… We don’t know either. We were looking after the clan leader by his bed just now. We didn’t notice anything unusual until we couldn’t feel his breathing. Only then did we know that the clan leader had passed away.”

What was that? He died without any warning?

Upon hearing this, Li Duantian’s expression darkened to the extreme.

Soon after, unconvinced, he began to carefully examine Li Xuandao’s body.

After a long time, he sighed and shook his head.

“Patriarch, how did the clan leader suddenly die? Could it be that someone deliberately harmed him?” Second Young Master Li Chengyin said in a deep voice.

Whoosh!

As soon as he said this, the clan members and young masters present all turned their gazes to Li Duantian.

“No. According to my examination, Xuandao died because of excessive grief, which led to the exhaustion of his mental strength. His death is normal and there are no traces of harm. Moreover, he passed away very peacefully without any pain.”

Li Duantian shook his head.

Although he was also very suspicious, no matter how he checked, the result was the same.

Seeing this, the other clansmen also went forward to check. Everything was just as Li Duantian had said. Li Xuandao had exhausted his mental strength and died.

“Sigh, today is truly an unfortunate day. First, there was the scandal of Li Chenzhou. Then, the eldest young master, Li Chengtian, was inexplicably killed. Now, the clan leader, he… Our Li family has been passed down for five thousand years and has never suffered such a blow,” A clansman sighed.

His words resonated with many people present.

At this moment, everyone’s hearts were filled with inexplicable fear and unease.

Within a day, two young masters and the clan leader died one after another.

This matter seemed eerie no matter how one looked at it.

Li Duantian was also frowning deeply. No one knew what he was thinking.

“Patriarch, what should we do next?”

“Send someone to the Netherworld Coffin Shop to prepare for the funeral.”

After saying that, Li Duantian sighed deeply and left the courtyard.

The rest followed the instructions and went to prepare for the funeral.

Everything was developing according to the Mad Priest’s expectations.
