Chapter 585: The Li Clan’s Blood Feud (1/2)

Chapter 585: The Li Clans Blood Feud

Nie Tian examined Li Langfeng briefly with his soul power, and soon realized that the internal damage he was suffering from was far worse than Pei Qiqi.

Li Langfeng had allowed too many toxins into himself.

Even though those toxins contained a significant amount of power, and they had helped him achieve rapid progress and breakthroughs, he wasn’t a Fiend. The toxins were inflicting serious damage on him at the same time.

In Li Langfeng’s spiritual sea, profound spiritual power and deadly toxins were mixed together.

His whole body was under the unceasing influence of the toxins. Even his meridians and internal organs had become deeply eroded.

The reason why he would spit out grimy blood from time to time was because he had been suppressing his injuries with his spiritual power, and continuously forcing the most deadly kinds of toxins out of his system.

However, as long as he kept practicing his special incantations, he would allow more toxins into himself, which would form more toxic residue and further the erosion of his insides.

As this continued, Li Langfeng’s body would soon be drained of its essence, and his lifespan would drop significantly.

It was these toxins inside of him that made him so powerful, but they also riddled him with injuries, pushing him closer and closer towards death.

In order to advance to the late Worldly realm, he would have to allow more toxins into his body, which was already afflicted with severe damage.

If he did that, Nie Tian deemed that he would be like a flickering candle in the wind that could go out at any moment.

Li Langfeng sighed and said with a frustrated look on his face, “I don’t have a choice.”

Under Nie Tian’s inquiring gaze, he remained silent for a short while before slowly telling his story. “My clan was originally one of the Spirit God Sect’s subordinate clans in the Realm of Dark Underworld. We were given the responsibility of managing a mine for the Spirit God Sect. In return, the Spirit God Sect would bring us under their protection.

“One day, my father, the head miner, discovered a stone room in the depths of the mine by accident.

“It was a built in the Phantasm’s typical style. Inside the stone room, he found a skull, along with a few other small items.

“Then, he was surprised to discovered that there seemed to be a soul inside that skull.”

“A skull...” Nie Tian muttered with an intense look in his eyes.

Li Langfeng didn’t stop because of Nie Tian’s reaction, but went on telling his story. “Then, my father planned to inform their backer in the Spirit God Sect of his discovery, hoping they would give some advice as to what they should do with that stone room.

“However, someone in the clan leaked the information to another person from the Spirit God Sect first.

“That person was at the middle Worldly realm back then, and he happened to have a lasting feud with our clan’s backer in the Spirit God Sect.

“When he had learned about our discovery, he planted evidence of some random crime on our clan and massacred my clansmen.

“He wiped out my entire clan. My parents and younger sister all died at his hands.

“I only survived because I was sent to the Spirit God Sect to give word of our discovery to our backer in the Spirit God Sect.

“In order to suck up to Chang Qiu, one of the Spirit God Sect’s powerful elders, the man later gave everything we had discovered in the stone room to him.

“By the time I arrived in the Spirit God Sect, I learned of that man’s monstrous crime.

“However, our clan’s backer didn’t want to confront Chang Qiu, so he eventually drove me away and told me to forget about what had happened.

“I was afraid that that man would try to silence me if I continued to stay in the Realm of Dark Underworld, so I went to the Realm of Black Marsh, where I took on a new name and joined the Poison Sect. There, I only learned and practiced the incantations that would allow my cultivation to progress the fastest, since all I could think about was becoming strong enough to avenge my family and clansmen within the shortest time possible.

“However, later when my master in the Poison Sect learned about my true identity and my feud with the man in the Spirit God Sect, not only did he not help me, but he even talked to that man and planned to give me to him.

“I learned about his plan by accident, so I fled the Realm of Black Marsh overnight. That’s how I ended up in the Realm of Split Void.”

Li Langfeng looked down at the ground, his eyes brimming with hatred. “That fucker who killed my whole family is named Wu Qinghe. He’s probably already entered the late Worldly realm, considering that he has access to the Spirit God Sect’s profound cultivation resources.

“I, on the other hand, have no sect at my back. My cultivation base was way lower than his when I made up my mind to kill him. If I cultivated the regular way, I’d never have the chance to slay him myself.

“While I make progress in my cultivation, he’s making progress in his. That way, he’ll always be stronger than me.

“So I could only find another way to cultivate, a way that would allow me to make rapid advancements, even if they come with a price. All I want is to kill him before the toxins kill me.
