74 This Is My Explanation! (1/2)
”No! Never!” At this moment, Li You Ran revealed a calm smile. ”I’d rather have the Li Residence burnt to the ground than mobilize you!”
His smile contained an interesting mix of tenderness and chilling ruthlessness. ”As long as our people are still alive, the Li Family will still exist, but if you are going to show yourself, what the black masked men do no longer matter. One thing I can be sure of, we will eventually attract the attention of countless eyes! Regardless of whether or not your identities are exposed, the Li Family would end up in hot soup! Also, the rumours regarding the Li Family having the Xuan Core would spread in all directions. When that happens…”
”Senior, please remain in this secret chamber for now and do not come out! Once the matter is settled, I will immediately arrange for someone to send you out of the city! If your help is required in any other matter, I will immediately inform master and the other seniors.” Li You Ran laughed lightly. ”This time, not only am I not going to stop him, I will send more people to them to kill! I’d like to see how Old Man Jun settles this!”
”His sins are no different from the crime of rebellion. Even if the royal court was willing to overlook it, would the Emperor tolerate it? Li You Ran gave a rare sneer on his face.
”Well, if that is the case, I won’t say anything else. I will accommodate your wishes. The white-robed man’s face displayed dissatisfaction but he nodded helplessly. ”Junior, if you have the time, you should visit Master. Master has been… very worried about you.”
”Senior, rest assured, I will.” Li You Ran gave a faint smile and walked out.
At this moment, there was a sudden ”boom” sound from an exploding aerial signalling firework. The explosion created an array of colours in the sky, extremely beautiful.
Following the fireworks, all the masked men in black retreated just like a receding tide. They disengaged from their battles and retreated; some leapt across the walls while others rushed out through the doors. In a twinkle of an eye, they have disappeared into the vast night… ...
Then, the sound of thunderous hooves resounded as thousand of calvary reacted. In an orderly manner, the military cavalry units rode towards the Li Residence at high speed! In a blink of an eye, they arrived before the Grand Perceptor Li’s Residence’s door. A series of orders sounded, the cavalry dispersed and encircled the Li Residence.
”Boom” the main gate was smashed open. Grandfather Jun Zhan Tian stepped inside, his body was exuding with a killing intent!
His body was covered with a sky blue luminance due to him channelling the Sky Xuan qi within his body. Although the Li Family would not dare to do anything to him due to his authority, he must consider in the ‘what if’s. After all, it was better to be safe than sorry.
On both sides, the two team of elite soldiers entered the compound in two rows and their swords flashed.
”Everyone belongs to the Li Family, get out here! Assassins have appeared within the city and I am conducting a search on the entire city!” Grandpa Jun roared, his voice shook the entire residence.
”Ha Ha Ha, turned out that Old Brother Jun had personally come. Your presence has honoured my humble abode.” The Grand Preceptor Li Shang smiled and stepped out from the main hall. Step by step, he sohwed an eager demeanour of a person who had finally have been reunited with his long-lost twin.
Jun Zhan Tian's face remained passive, ”Grand Preceptor Li, please keep your subordinates and relatives in check. Princess Ling Meng had just suffered from an assassination attempt. Therefore, I am performing my duty by searching and capturing the assassins. If anybody here gets injured by interfering with my military duties, I will not be held accountable!” Thereafter, he waved his hand, ”Search!”
