Chapter 381: Chapter 262: Water Divine Power! _2
They lifted the white cloth.
Gently touching the wound on Li Yifeng’s body, Li Yihong frowned and said, “This is a sword injury, but there is no trace of sword essence… Elder brother Yifeng must have been killed by a Daoist flying sword.”
“Daoist flying sword?”
“Among the major Daoist Sects in the martial world today, the number of cultivators who have achieved Daoist flying swords can be counted on one hand. Our Li Clan has neither grievances nor grudges with them.”
“Hold on…”
Suddenly, a member of the Li Clan said, “Could it be Xu Yang, the Northwest Hammer King? He once demonstrated his sword technique at Xishan Wanshou Palace.”
“Xu Yang?”
“This cannot be…”
“Our Li family indeed had some minor friction with Xu Yang, but would he dare to come to Li Manor to kill someone just because of that? Is he not afraid that our Li family’s ancestor would come out of seclusion to take revenge on him?”
“However… In terms of matching conditions and having a motive to kill, only Xu Yang is suitable!”
Li Yihong listened, his face full of silence.
Was it Xu Yang?
Very likely!
But judging from Xu Yang’s record of fighting one-on-one with Lu Shan Sect and forcing the two Lu Shan Sect ancestors to give up their fight… Even if the real murderer was Xu Yang, what could the Li Clan do to him now?
Should they ask the ancestor to come out of seclusion to kill Xu Yang?
Not to mention that Xu Yang is protected by Wang Hou…
It is said that he also has a Ghost Immortal by his side who once blocked a Lu Shan Sect ancestor outside Lu Shan and possesses the ability to communicate with “Lord Cui” of the Underworld Palace… I’m afraid even if the ancestor comes out, he won’t be able to catch Xu Yang!
They can only wait!
Wait for the humans to undergo drastic changes, and the ancestors to come out of seclusion together.
At that time, they can join forces with Lu Shan Sect, various major families, and other powerful people and kill Xu Yang!
Of course.
Most importantly…
Li Yifeng simply held a press conference, scolded Xu Yang a few times over the Internet, and was killed by Xu Yang overnight. Why should he bother looking for trouble?
Thus, Li Yihong coughed and said, “Without evidence, don’t talk nonsense. You guys continue your investigation, do not falsely accuse good people, but also do not let the real killer go!”
“Right.”
“Help me contact the media, and tomorrow morning, I’ll hold a press conference!”
…
On the highway from Ganshire Province to Wu City.
A black Mercedes-Benz traveled at high speed.
The atmosphere in the car was strange.
Xu Yang drove seriously while Yue Niang seemed to be… deep in thought.
She couldn’t help but ask, “Xu Yang, did you do it on purpose?”
“What did I do on purpose?”
Xu Yang became anxious and said, “Yue Niang, don’t wrong me! You saw what happened. We were discovered as soon as we entered…”
Yue Niang tilted her head and thought, “We went to negotiate, so it doesn’t matter if we were discovered.”
Xu Yang: “…”
After careful thought, it seemed… this was really the case?
With a red face, he said, “You can’t blame me. I was conditioned to react that way at the time… Our biology teacher said that some conditioned reflexes in humans are uncontrollable… If you have to blame someone, blame Li Yifeng for being unlucky.”
Yue Niang chuckled.
You killed someone, and you still blame the victim?
As a native being of the underworld, Yue Niang had seen too much killing. She had no qualms in her heart and asked, “What should we do next?”
“Play it cool!”
Xu Yang said, “Since the negotiation failed, we can only fight. Let’s see how the Li Clan reacts… I’m sure they’ll guess it was me who did it!”
The deed had already been done.
Talking about other things was pointless.
Xu Yang drove and returned to Wu City overnight.
At this moment, it was already 3 am.
Xu Yang quietly returned to his bedroom and practiced his talismans until dawn before going out.
“Huh?”
Yun Mengxi yawned, the first to notice Xu Yang, and exclaimed in surprise, “When did you return, husband?”
“At dawn.”
“How did the negotiation go?”
After a few seconds of pondering, Xu Yang said, “It fell through.”
“What?”
Upon hearing this, Yun Mengxi cursed angrily, “This Li family from Longxi, they really think highly of themselves, don’t they? My husband personally went to negotiate and reconcile with them, and they still won’t give him face?”
Xu Yang hesitated before saying, “It’s not that the Li family wouldn’t give me face, but there was an unexpected incident that occurred.”
He went downstairs.
He then heard Yang Yin saying, “You guys, come and see… the Li family is hosting another press conference… huh, why did their family head change?”
Yun Mengxi, Liu Shishi, Yue Qiluo, and the others all gathered around.
Xu Yang, curious, also came over to Yang Yin.
He saw Yang Yin holding her cell phone, and on it was an interview video featuring none other than Li Yihong.
Facing the camera, Li Yihong briefly introduced himself before announcing that he had taken over as head of the Li family and that everything related to the Li family would be under his jurisdiction from now on.
One reporter asked curiously, “Mr. Li Yihong, Mr. Li Yifeng is still in his prime, why did he suddenly resign from his position as head of the family?”
Li Yihong said, “He encountered some problems in his cultivation and went into a frenzy when he forcibly tried to break through to the Martial Arts Celestial Phenomenon Realm. This caused his heart meridian to rupture…”
“???”
Xu Yang was completely befuddled.
Entered a frenzy? Heart meridian ruptured?
Wasn’t it just because he whacked him on the head?
However, he quickly figured out the reason behind it, sighed, and thought, “It seems that the Li family of Longxi has already guessed that I was the one behind it. But since they know they can’t do anything about me for now, they are deliberately saying this in front of the media.”
The Li family of Longxi is a big clan.
They value their reputation more than anything else.
Admitting in front of the media that their family head had been whacked in their own home… how disgraceful would that be?
Whacked by someone… you have to find the culprit and seek revenge, right?
But what do you do when you can’t defeat or kill your enemy for now?
You can only swallow your anger… after all, it’s just losing a family head. The Li family is large and can afford the loss!
Once he figured it out, Xu Yang couldn’t help but laugh.
“What is my husband laughing about?”
The ladies wondered, guessing, “Could the death of the Li family head have something to do with my husband? Weren’t you going to negotiate?”
Xu Yang: “…”
His face darkened.
For the next few days, Xu Yang lived a leisurely life.
During the day, he would go to his office at the Martial Arts Academy, practice talisman drawing and playing games. At night, he would return home and play poker with his wives before spending the night cultivating…
Until August 24th.
Xu Yang was drawing talismans in his office when Minister Wang suddenly visited.
Quickly standing up, Xu Yang smiled, “Why does Minister Wang have time to visit me today? Please have a seat… please, have a seat.”
After pouring Minister Wang a cup of tea, Xu Yang sat down on the sofa next to him and asked, “Did Minister Wang come specifically to see me, or was just on your way?”
Minister Wang took a sip of the hot tea and said, “There has been some unusual activity at the site of the Silver City God Temple recently, so I came to take a look. I also dropped by your place to give you something.”
As he spoke, he took out a jade talisman and threw it to Xu Yang.
Xu Yang caught the jade talisman and examined it closely, finding that the jade was of good quality… But why would Minister Wang give him a piece of jade?
“Minister Wang, what is this…”
“This jade talisman was discovered by our Supernatural Affairs Bureau four years ago when we explored a secret realm. It contains a Daoist divine power. Since you are now in the Divine Transcendence Realm and are proficient in both water and fire elements in addition to the rules of the Thunderbolt, you should be able to practice the divine power within it.”
Jade talisman inheritance?
Xu Yang recalled something he had read about in many novels.
But he never expected that it would be real?
He scanned the jade talisman with divine sense and instantly “saw” a series of complex “lations”.’
“Ah, this…”
Xu Yang was stunned, asking, “Minister Wang, this divine power is recorded entirely in lations?”
Minister Wang laughed, “You are a master of talismans, so you must be proficient in lations, right? This shouldn’t be too difficult for you.”
“No problem, no problem.”
Xu Yang put away the jade talisman, smiling, “I’ll study it carefully when I get back.”
But in his heart…
He couldn’t help but complain!
No problem… my ass!
Me, Xu Yang, doesn’t even know lations… It is said that one must learn “lations” before learning talismans, but Xu Yang never learned this stuff at all. He would draw talismans by mimicking them, and they’d be formed at once, so why would he need to learn these?
