Lord of Bones

Chapter 648 Longyang Li Family
Li Lieyang was about to respond when suddenly, three white dots appeared in the sky.

The white spot quickly enlarged and turned into three long rainbows in an instant, breaking through the air and causing everyone to look up.

In just a few breaths, three long rainbows landed in front of the gate of the Li family mansion in Longyang, revealing three middle-aged men and women in white clothes.

One man and two women, with elegant temperaments, and their every move exudes an otherworldly aura.

Especially the middle-aged woman in the lead, with a beautiful face and sharp eyes.

Looking at the three people, Li Lieyang's heart trembled, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

All three of them are powerful warriors who have reached the semi-successful stage of Half-Step Transformation Realm.

With such strength, I didn’t expect that he would come to Longyang Li family as an envoy today.

"Li Lieyang, the head of the Longyang Li family, and the clan's senior leaders and outstanding descendants are here to welcome the three envoys from the Tianyun Sect." Li Lieyang suppressed his surprise and confusion, and bowed to his clansmen.

The middle-aged woman in the lead nodded slightly, raised her jade hand, and said lightly: "Master Li, you are welcome."

Li Lieyang smiled and said: "The three envoys have come from afar and have worked hard along the way.

"Please follow me into the mansion for a chat."

As he spoke, he stepped aside to make way and made a gesture of invitation.

At this time, more lights had been lit in front of the mansion, illuminating the surroundings like daylight.

The middle-aged woman waved her hand gently and said, "We came to your Longyang Li family because we received a temporary mission.

"Since it's not a big deal, we don't want to stay too long."

Li Lieyang exchanged subtle glances with several supreme elders, and then said respectfully: "Since it is not a big deal, why bother the three messengers to come here in person? Just deliver the message."

The middle-aged woman suddenly said seriously: "Master Li, I am too lazy to say some polite words, so I will just pass on a few words for you.

“This matter was personally explained by the Grand Elder of Shuiyun Peak, asking the three of us to come in person and inform the Longyang Li Clan.

"More than fifty years ago, the Great Elder and the Longyang Li family made a sixty-year agreement, which will be up in a few years.

"I hope Longyang Li will not forget the time."

As the middle-aged woman finished her words, silence fell in front of the mansion.

Li Lieyang and the senior executives of Longyang Li family were all surprised.

Obviously, they were surprised by the sudden news.

Taking a deep breath, Li Lieyang tried to keep himself calm, and said with a hint of helplessness and apology:
"More than fifty years ago, my son's bones were destroyed and he could no longer cultivate his essence. He became an ordinary person and has been missing for a long time.

"Even if I'm still alive, my life span is coming to an end, and I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill the promise I made back then."

The middle-aged woman said unhappily, "Regarding the whereabouts of Li Yuanlong, the Great Elder asked me to ask the head of the Li family, does the Longyang Li family take the Tianyun Sect seriously?"

Li Lieyang was shocked when he heard this, and his expression instantly became solemn, and he hurriedly asked: "What does the messenger mean?

"The Longyang Li family has always respected the Tianyun Sect and would never dare to neglect it in the slightest."

The middle-aged woman's eyes were sharp as she questioned, "The Great Elder said that the Longyang Li family asked Li Yuanlong to change his name and identity, wasn't it just to avoid the sixty-year agreement he made that year?"

Li Lieyang's face froze, and he defended himself, "Longyang Li would never dare to do this. There must be a misunderstanding."

The middle-aged woman said indifferently: "Master Li, we are only responsible for delivering the message, not investigating the matter."

She paused for a moment and continued, “The Great Elder said that since Li Yuanlong cannot keep the appointment, then let Li Yuan go to Tianyun Sect on his behalf to fulfill the agreement made that year.

"I have delivered my message. It is up to you to decide whether to go or not."

After saying this, the middle-aged woman no longer gave Li Lieyang any chance to respond. She moved her body, flew up on her sword, and turned into a long rainbow.

Upon seeing this, the other two messengers also controlled their swords, transformed into two long rainbows, and chased after them.

In the night sky, three long rainbows shine against each other, leaving beautiful arcs.

"We have finally come to Wenhe Baijia, why don't we get something before leaving?" said one of the messengers with a hint of regret.

The middle-aged woman responded without even turning her head: "This is not something we should do, we are just helping to pass on the message.

“Since this concerns the great elder of Shuiyun Peak, it’s better not to make things more complicated.

“It has already taken quite some time to get to Longyang Li’s, we have to hurry.

"It's too late. The treasure has been taken by someone else. Don't regret it."

Upon hearing this, the other two messengers said no more and accelerated their flying speed, following closely behind the middle-aged woman and galloping away into the distance.

The three long rainbows gradually moved farther and farther away and finally disappeared into the vast sky.

In front of the Li family mansion in Longyang, Li Lieyang and other senior executives were still standing there, looking at the sword light disappearing in the night sky, with solemn expressions on their faces.

An old woman next to Li Lieyang said worriedly: "Where can we find someone?
"Where on earth did this Li Yuan come from?"

The old man on the other side looked confused, sighed, and said in a low voice: "Yes, we have been trying to get in touch with this person for the past month, but since he appeared in Lingpei City, it seems that he has evaporated from the face of the earth, and there has been no news since then."

Just as everyone was discussing, a young man about 27 or 28 years old suddenly ran out of the mansion, his face full of excitement, and shouted loudly: "Master, good news, good news!"

Hearing this, Li Lieyang raised his eyebrows, looked at the young man, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

The young man ran to the crowd breathlessly, his face filled with joy and smile, and said excitedly: "I just received news that our Longyang Li family's ranking has been raised to 85th!"

"Eighty-five? What nonsense are you talking about?" A senior member of the clan immediately questioned.

The young man hurriedly explained: “It’s true, the news just came.

"Li Yuan defeated Ren Zhiyuan of the Qingyuan Ren Clan, and his ranking on the Top 100 Prodigies Ranking rose to 118th.

"This is an honor that our Longyang Li family has never had in many years!"

"Li Yuan? Where is he?" At this moment, Li Lieyang didn't care about the family ranking at all and asked anxiously.

If they cannot find Li Yuan and cannot fulfill the agreement they made with the great elder of Shuiyun Peak, the Longyang Li family will probably face a huge crisis.

.........

late at night.

The lights in the Longyang Li family meeting room were bright, as if it were daytime.

On the surrounding walls are portraits of ancestors from past generations, with deep eyes, as if they are watching the family affairs at the moment.

In the center of the hall, there is a huge round wooden table covered with an exquisite silk tablecloth, which looks solemn yet luxurious.

All the high-ranking members of the clan who had been welcoming the envoys from the Tianyun Sect at the gate of the mansion were now gathered here.

Their faces were filled with solemnity and expectation, and their eyes were focused above the hall.

Above the hall, in addition to the patriarch Li Lieyang and several highly respected supreme elders, there were several other figures with extraordinary aura.

Their cultivation had all reached the Half-Step Transformation Realm, and their powerful aura made the air in the hall seem to solidify.

"Clan leader, do you really want to go to the Longshan Tan family in person?" A middle-aged man stood up and asked worriedly.

Li Lieyang sighed, looked through the window at the dark night sky in the distance, and said slowly: "It is a blessing for the Longshan Tan family to support us.

“As the head of the family, I naturally have to show some sincerity.

"Otherwise, people might just be talking about it."

A young clan member curled his lips and said disapprovingly: "Humph, the Longshan Tan family is not a great family.

"They are only ranked 50th, and our Longyang Li family is now ranked 85th. The difference is not that big."

As soon as these words came out, some elders present immediately aroused dissatisfaction. They pointed at the young tribesman and scolded him, "You really don't know your place!

"Don't you know what the Longyang Li family's financial situation is?

"If it weren't for Li Yuan, we wouldn't even be able to keep our current ranking!"

"Yes, Li Yuan is indeed not a simple person." Someone echoed, "Do you think he is the young patriarch?"

"Shh..." A tribesman made a gesture to silence the crowd, "Don't say that."

"Clan leader, Li Tingxuan, the head of the Qingwei branch family, has arrived. Should we ask her to come directly to the meeting room?"

Just as discussions were rising in the hall, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall suddenly became quiet.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the door, with confusion and surprise on their faces.

"Li Tingxuan...why is she here?"

"Didn't the Qingwei family set up their own branch?
"How did Li Tingxuan become the head of the Qingwei branch family?"

"Yeah, what's going on?"

……

For a moment, the hall was filled with various questions.

Li Lieyang cleared his throat and coughed twice.

Suddenly, all the whispering sounds in the hall stopped.

"Let Tingxuan come directly to the conference room." Li Lieyang said loudly towards the door.

"Yes, Patriarch." The family member outside the door responded respectfully, then turned and left.

Li Lieyang retracted his gaze and spoke again: "Everyone, I originally wanted to announce this matter on a later date, but tonight happens to be the day to welcome the envoy of the Tianyun Sect, and everyone is here, so I will tell you in advance.

"After careful consideration, the Qingwei Li family has decided to officially return to the Longyang Li family and become an important branch of our Longyang Li family..."

.........

At the same time, Li Tingxuan, accompanied by a middle-aged man and led by a family member, walked through the winding corridor towards the meeting room.

“Eh, that’s not right.

"I remember that when people from the branch family came before, they would go to the reception room first. This seems to be the direction to the meeting room."

Although Li Tingxuan had left the Longyang Li family for more than 50 years, he still remembered the layout of the mansion clearly and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Yes, Senior Tingxuan.

"Tonight, the Patriarch, some of the Supreme Elders, and the clan leaders are all in the meeting room, so let me take you there directly."

The family member replied respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Li Tingxuan showed a look of realization and stopped asking any more questions.

She adjusted her robes, making sure she was presentable, and continued on her way.

It wasn't long before they crossed the garden and arrived outside the meeting hall.

The door was closed tightly, with exquisite patterns carved on it, looking solemn and majestic.

The family member knocked on the door gently, and after getting permission, he slowly pushed the door open and made a gesture of invitation.

Li Tingxuan nodded slightly and stepped into the conference room with the middle-aged man beside her.

As soon as she entered the hall, she was shocked by the scene before her.

The hall was brightly lit, and the family leaders gathered together, all eyes focused on her.

She felt an unprecedented solemnity and seriousness, but she did not retreat. Instead, she straightened her back and walked steadily to the center of the hall.

"Patriarch, all the great elders, elders, Tingxuan is here to greet you."

Li Tingxuan bowed deeply to Li Lieyang who was in the upper position and the members of the Li family who were near the upper position on both sides, and spoke in a loud and respectful voice.

"Tingxuan, you're here."

Li Lieyang nodded with a smile, and then turned his gaze to the middle-aged man next to Li Tingxuan.

He raised his eyebrows slightly. He felt that the man's face was somewhat familiar, but it was difficult to remember exactly, so he asked: "Tingxuan, who is this junior?"

Li Tingxuan introduced: "Master, this is a genius I accidentally discovered in the Qingwei Li family.

“This time, in addition to letting the Qingwei Li family return to the Longyang Li family, Tingxuan has another important matter.

"Just introduce him to the master of the family. I believe he will be of great help to the master in the future."

As soon as he finished speaking, some questioning voices were heard in the hall.

Some outstanding young descendants of the tribe looked at the middle-aged man's age and cultivation, and said with disdain: "Help us?
“A young man who is over seventy years old and is only in the early stage of Yuan Dan realm.

"Li Tingxuan, are you the head of a branch family? Do you think you have a high status and start talking nonsense?"

Li Tingxuan remained calm, raised his head, looked at those doubters, and said, "His cultivation is indeed not high.

“However, he started practicing from an old man who was about to die and unable to cultivate, and in just six or seven years, he reached his current level of cultivation.

"Is this rate of improvement worse than everyone here?"

Someone sneered, obviously not believing it: "In six or seven years, from an old man who couldn't cultivate Yuan, to reach the Yuandan realm?

"It's simply a fantasy!"

Li Tingxuan ignored the sarcasm and bowed to Li Lieyang again, saying solemnly: "Master, everything Tingxuan said is true.

“Not only does he have an amazing talent for cultivation, he also has a deep connection with the Longyang Li family.

“He has some connection with Li Yuan, who has become very famous in recent years, so he was able to make rapid progress in just a few years.

"I guess the master has also gained a lot of benefits because of Li Yuan's existence."

"Li Yuan..." When this name echoed in the hall, the whole hall fell silent.

All eyes were focused on the middle-aged man next to Li Tingxuan, as if they wanted to find some trace of Li Yuan in this man.

In the meeting hall of the Longyang Li family, the atmosphere was heavy and tense because Li Yuan could not be contacted.

Li Tingxuan's words were like a breeze blowing by, bringing an unexpected turn of events.

Everyone had a look of surprise and doubt on their faces, as if they couldn't believe that God was so kind to them.

Li Yuan has received constant praise from the outside world, and the Longyang Li family members are also proud of this.

However, the clan leaders sitting in the hall knew the truth.

Li Tingxuan and the middle-aged man felt the complicated emotions of the Longyang Li family and looked confused.

I don't understand why everyone has such a mixed reaction.

Li Lieyang took a deep breath, tried to calm the waves in his heart, and asked:
"Tingxuan, you just said that this young man has a great relationship with the Longyang Li family.

"What's the relationship with Li Yuan?
"Can you tell me a thing or two?"
