Chapter 121 - Post-war aftershocks

This night passed by very slowly. Some people felt as though they had lived a lifetime, and some people would never forget this night even more.

That night, lightning flashed, thunder roared, strong gales howled, and torrential rain began to pour. That was nothing. What made people astonished was the overflowing killing intent, the frightening and powerful aura, and even more so the dense smell of blood.

The smell of blood, even the pouring rain could not wash away the smell of blood.

That night, many experts on the continent were woken up. All of them stood by the window or on the mountain top, quietly staring at a certain place - near the border of Chuhan, near the place where Liu Bang and Xiang Yu had battled.

The aura that was as strong as a wild beast from ancient times, its monstrous aura that rose to the heavens, and its killing intent that was as violent as a wild beast, all caused these experts from the continent to be shocked.

This night, the entire continent's experts were filled with questions. Could it be that the war between the Li and Nangong Family had broken out?

However, on the second day, the sky was bright and clear. Early in the morning, he woke up and took a deep breath of air, causing people to feel extremely comfortable.

Many experts flocked to the place where the war broke out last night in an attempt to find some clues. To their disappointment, the only things left on the ground were the red raindrops, the thick smell of blood, and the lingering killing intent.

What shocked these masters was that this land area had been completely destroyed, and the ground was covered with potholes and scars. There was a place where these masters were startled, and it was a pit with a radius of nearly a thousand miles. How much energy was needed to cause such destruction!

All of these experts sucked in a breath of cold air. There was actually such a powerful expert on this continent.

Within a few days, the continent was filled with rumors, that the Nangong Family had joined forces with the Liu Family and engaged in an earth-shattering battle. However, no one was able to explain the outcome.

It was no wonder that Nangong Family was originally the number one clan in the continent. Furthermore, they allied with the Liu Family, so how could they not kill Li family to the point where he was defeated, not to mention that the Li family was only a clan that rose later on.

Some said it was the Li family's great victory, but this statement was somewhat unbelievable. However, those who supported this view said that the Li family wasn't exterminated, and on the contrary, there weren't many Li family casualties.

No matter what, the continent's rumors were circulating, and the three great clans that were involved in this matter were all silent.

However, there was one thing that caused the people of the continent to be alarmed. The Li Family's property had all been abolished overnight, and all the Li Family disciples that were stationed outside the had all been summoned back to the clan.

What was even more shocking was that both the Nangong Family and the Liu Family were the same, shrinking the businesses of their families into their own fortresses.

The three great families seemed to have reached a tacit agreement that their disciples would not go out.

This caused the other forces on the continent to be amazed and unsettled.

On the other hand, Xiang Family and the Ouyang Family expanded without restraint, not caring about anything else. Some of the smaller families took advantage of this opportunity to rise.

There was a new distribution of powers in the continent, but he didn't know how long it would last.

Li family's secret room.

In the secret room, there were only four people, the Zhang Danfeng brothers, Li Shengtian and Li Cangwu.

"Cangwu, have you finished counting the casualties in the clan?" Li Shengtian looked at Li Cangwu and said.

"Replying to Ancestor, we have already calculated that 486 Saint level experts have died, 23 God level experts have died, and there are many injuries, but none of them are life-threatening." Li Cangwu's expression became heavy.

"Sigh!" Those are my descendants! " Li Shengtian said solemnly, "If not for the help of Yi Er's formation, I'm afraid even more people would have died, and even the entire Li Clan would have been exterminated."

"Brother Sheng Tian, don't be sad. Compared to us, the experts that came out from those two families are almost all dead. I'm afraid it'll be hard for them to make a comeback in the future." Zhang Danfeng consoled.

The four of them nodded their heads. In terms of war alone, the Li Family could be considered to have returned victorious this time. If it wasn't for some accident in the end, the Nangong Family and the Liu Family would probably be removed from the continent overnight.

"Brother Zhang, Nangong Family has such a powerful backing. What should we do in the future?" Li Shengtian asked for Zhang Danfeng's help.

"Brother Sheng Tian, you don't have to worry about that. The older generation will never sneak up on the Lee family secretly, are we afraid of the rest?" Even if experts of the same rank as that old man came to the Li family, they would find it hard to walk out of the Li family's gate with our formation, not to mention that they would dare to come? " After saying that, Zhang Danfeng revealed a smile.

"Hur Hur Hur!" In the end, that formation array almost killed that old fellow. It is truly a big heart. In the future, they will also fear the Li Clan, not to mention that we also have a backer. " Dugu Feng was obviously a little angry at the last three people who appeared.

Li Shengtian's eyes lit up, and said to Zhang Danfeng: "Brother Zhang, do you know where those five experts came from? Why are they helping the Li Family? "

Zhang Danfeng laughed bitterly: "I don't have much contact with the five of them, but I know that they have an incredible teacher, and I don't know why they are helping the Li Family, I only heard them mention this before, as if after their teacher left the Illusory World of Heaven, he ordered the five of them to protect the Li Family in the dark."

A ray of light flashed across Li Cangwu's eyes as he said, "Could it be Yi Er?"

The eyes of the other three lit up as well. Li Shengtian said: "This is the only explanation, aiya! That brat Yi Er, gave me a pleasant surprise. "

"That's right!" Only he can make that old fellow be willing to help the Li family. " Zhang Danfeng lamented.

"Hmm, Brother Zhang, you two should stay in the Li Family for the time being!" On one hand, it's to prevent any accidents from happening, and on the other hand, we can accompany those five people. " Li Shengtian asked for Zhang Danfeng's help.

"Alright! Take this opportunity to communicate with them and invite their master over as well. It would be better that way, but I just don't know when Yi Er will be able to return. " Zhang Danfeng said.

The four of them were silent. Although they knew that Li Yi was fine, but when would he be back?

"Yi Er, I have the feeling that it won't be long before Yi Er returns." Li Cangwu said firmly.

The other three smiled and nodded.

Li Shengtian instructed Li Cangwu once again, "Recall all the disciples from the outer families and the family property. Also, liaise with the Nie Family to prevent any mishap that happens to them."

"Yes, Patriarch." Li Cangwu had the same thoughts. He had originally wanted to move all of them over, but later on he thought that it wasn't appropriate. After all, the Li Family wasn't stable yet.

Nangong Family!

"Seniors, you have to help little brother!" Nangong Ming told the two people who came with the old man in tears.

One of them was called Lin Fang. He looked middle-aged, and was slightly taller. His eyes flashed with a cold light.

The other person was called Du Yuan, and was slightly younger than the eldest senior brother. His sharp eyebrows were raised and he looked rather dignified.

"Third Junior Brother, sigh! For the time being, you shouldn't come into contact with the Li Family. Save your strength and speak of it after Master has fully recovered! " The senior monk was a bit helpless, especially when his Master was injured, "Do you know what kind of array they are using? Thirty Divine level experts were actually able to defeat Master.

This Eldest Senior Brother clearly had a taboo towards the Li family's formation.

"I've never seen the Lee family use these formations before. I wonder how the Lee family suddenly used such a powerful move and caused us so much damage." Nangong Ming's face showed grief.

"Third junior brother, how are the family casualties?" Second senior brother Du Yuan asked.

When he thought about the casualties of his family, Nangong Ming immediately felt like crying. He sobbed as he replied, "Eight hundred Holy-ranked experts are all dead, fifty Mantra God s have all fallen, and thirty-seven Sword God have lost their lives. This time, the family's vitality is greatly damaged, especially the loss of a Saint-ranked expert.

Second Senior Brother Du Yuan and Eldest Senior Brother Lin Fang looked at each other in shock. Second Senior Brother said in shock: "How can there be such a huge number of casualties? Furthermore, not a single Saint-rank expert or Mantra God has escaped. How is that possible?"

"Sigh!" "This time, we've been tricked by the Li Clan. They've used formations to surround and slaughter all of them. Their formations are just too terrifying." Nangong Ming said in grief.

In his heart, Nangong Ming secretly swore: If I, Nangong Ming, do not avenge this, Li Family, then I, Nangong Ming, will not be a human.

"Third Junior Brother, don't be sad. We should first shrink the clan's property. After Master recovers from his injuries, we can go invite Uncle Master and ask him to step in. I don't believe that I won't be able to destroy the Li family." Eldest senior brother Lin Fang had a very good relationship with the Nangong brothers. When the Nangong brothers were humiliated, there was no light in his face either.

"It's up to the two Seniors!" The Nangong brothers respectfully bowed to the two senior brothers.

"There is no need to be so polite, junior brothers. Since we are brothers, we will naturally take care of your matters." The Eldest Senior Brother said.

Nangong Ming suddenly shed tears. It was unknown if it was out of gratitude or sorrow for the heavy casualties of his clan.

From this day onwards, Nangong Family began to contract his industry, no longer participating in the power struggles on the continent, but secretly accumulating his strength.

Liu Family!

Liu Teng's face was filled with grief. After leading the family back to their home, they immediately ran to Liu An's room and knelt in front of him with a "plop" sound.

"Uncle An, I am a sinner of the Liu Family!" Liu Teng hugged Uncle An's legs and cried.

First, it was because his father's downfall had dealt him a huge blow. This time, he was full of hope and wanted to get a share of the Li Family's spoil of war, but he was slaughtered by the Li Family. How could he not be sorrowful?

Sigh!

Uncle An suddenly sighed, her voice was filled with sadness and helplessness.

"Get up first and talk about the casualties of our family." Liu An seemed to have known that he would fail this time.

"Uncle An, this time, all of the clan's Saint-rank experts and Mantra God s have died. Liu Teng sobbed.

"What!" Uncle An suddenly opened his eyes wide, which released two cold beams of light. He was extremely shocked, "How can there be such a large number of casualties! "Tell me what happened."

Liu Teng explained everything that happened, and then said: Uncle An, you have to stand up for the Liu Family!

After Liu An finished listening, he closed his eyes, but his hands were shaking uncontrollably.

Although the Uncle An did not participate in the management of the family, the ones that died were all of the Liu Family bloodline! Furthermore, there were so many of them. How could they not make the Liu Clan's Royal Elder's heart ache?

After a long while, Uncle An calmed himself down and opened his eyes.

Uncle An looked at Liu Teng for a long time, then said: "Will you listen to me?"

Liu Teng was startled, and immediately replied: "You're my uncle, I won't listen to whomever you say."

"Alright then, break off all relations with Nangong Family and get on good terms with the Li Family. Hurry to the Li Family to apologize and pay your respects." Liu An stared at Liu Teng and said sternly.

Liu Teng's face instantly paled as he anxiously asked, "Why, Uncle An, why did the Li Family still have to apologize after killing so many of our disciples?"

Liu Teng stared at Uncle An in disbelief.

Sigh!

The Uncle An suddenly sighed again, "Let me ask you, when did the Li family's formation start to exist? Why did Brother Zhang Danfeng help the Li family? Why did the Li family have so many Holy-ranked experts?

With every sentence Uncle An spoke, Liu Teng's face became paler.

"Sigh!" Not to mention the mysterious origin of the Li family's array formation, even the fact that the Devil Martial Academy brothers helped the Li family made people even more suspicious. Furthermore, how did they train so many Holy-ranked experts? The Uncle An pressed on.

"Could it be, could it be that all of this is related to Li Yi!?" Liu Teng was shocked.

The Uncle An nodded his head, and said: "Li Yi's powerful cultivation is very mysterious, in the short span of twenty years, even I have been proud of his cultivation, and the Li family has had Li Yi, and everything else has appeared for no reason, the powerful formation, the help of Brother Zhang Danfeng, the large number of Saint Rankers, the spiritual and powerful weapons, and the five experts that appeared in the last team you mentioned, all of these have something to do with Li Yi."

Liu Teng listened to Uncle An's story in a daze.

"My conjecture is that Li Yi did not die at all. Instead, he wanted to give the Nangong Family and our Liu Family a chance, a chance to bring about their own destruction." Uncle An released another bomb, and after he said that, he closed his eyes in grief.

Although he was not involved in family matters, his heart was transparent.

Hearing the last sentence of the Uncle An, Liu Teng's mind went into a mess. He only said that Li Yi was not dead, and that sentence continued to reverberate in his mind.

It was not that Liu Teng was stupid, it was just that he was blinded by the benefits. Nangong Family promised, "If we destroy the Li Clan, their assets will be divided evenly, what a great temptation!"

In the past, Liu Bang had warned Liu Teng to get on good terms with the Li Family, but Liu Teng did not take it to heart.

After a long while, Uncle An opened his eyes again. Seeing Liu Teng's sad and confused expression, he sighed in his heart and said: "Did you know beforehand that there is still an expert behind Nangong Family? Did they ever tell you? "

Liu Teng turned his head mechanically and looked into the distance.

Suddenly, Liu Teng's expression froze, his eyes released a fierce light, and he gritted his teeth: "Old thief Nan Gong!"

"Sigh!" "You finally understand that they just want to use our Liu family to work for them, but this time, the Li family's strength is too strong, that's why they called out their backers." Liu An was helpless, he thought, if I don't give you a dose of the fierce medicine, you won't wake up.

Liu Teng suddenly sat on the ground, then tightly hugged onto Uncle An's legs and said: "Uncle An, what should we do next? If Li Yi is not dead, then our family is really done for!"

Liu Teng remembered that Li Yi's power had suddenly shuddered. Although Li Yi was not as powerful as the old man, Li Yi had even more shocking power.

Liu Teng had also analyzed Li Yi's personality before, he was extremely protective of her, but this time Xue'er was dead, if Li Yi suddenly appeared, he would release all his anger on Nangong Family and Liu Family.

"Do you listen to me?" Liu An asked, his eyes staring straight at Liu Teng.

"Uncle An, how could I not listen to you at this time!" Liu Teng was really anxious now.

"Are you willing to sacrifice yourself for your family?" Uncle An was still the same.

Liu Teng's expression froze for a moment, and then he said resolutely, "Uncle An, I am a disciple of the Liu Family, don't you think I have dedicated my life to the Liu Family?!"

Uncle An nodded his head, and said sternly: "You will personally go to the Li Family to apologize. Then, you will bring over half of the Li Family's property, and explain everything to the Li Family. Especially the matter regarding Ouyang Xue's death, you must sever all relations with the Liu Family. "Luckily it has nothing to do with the Liu family."

Liu Teng was stunned, his face suddenly turned white, then red, then black, after that, Liu Teng suddenly took a deep breath and said: "Alright, we will do as the Uncle An says, after this matter is over, I will resign from my position as the person in charge, this position is not suitable for me, it is not suitable at all."

Liu Teng suddenly laughed bitterly!

Uncle An laughed. Although the Liu Family suffered heavy losses, their foundation was still there, wasn't that so!

Not long after, something that shocked the entire continent happened: The head of the Liu Family publicly apologized to the Li family and paid a large amount of compensation to the Li Family. He emphasized that from now on, Liu's disciples were not allowed to offend Li Family members.

This matter stunned most of the powers on the continent. They could not believe that the Liu family was actually apologizing to the Li family.

However, this made people even more suspicious, wasn't it the Liu Family and Nangong Family that were attacking the Lee family together, why was the Liu Family apologizing to the Li family again?

Could it be that the Li Family had defeated the alliance between the two great families? How could this be possible?

Helpless, the three great families did not reveal the news of the battle that night, instead, the three great families retracted their businesses, causing people to be unable to make sense of the situation. This time, the Liu Family publicly apologized to the Li family, allowing some people with foresight to guess the gist of it.

Only, that was too unbelievable.

When the Nan Gong brothers heard that Teng Qingshan was trying to build a good relationship with the Liu family, they were instantly enraged. Nangong Liang had even taken out his sword and shattered the table in front of him, scolding Liu Teng the bastard furiously.

This was not surprising, the Liu Family publicly apologized to the Li Family, didn't this say it was the Nangong Family's fault? Furthermore, he hinted that he lost the war at the Nangong Family.

The Nangong Family and the Liu Family began to become enemies.

On the other hand, Li Shengtian and Zhang Danfeng smiled at each other. They had accepted the Liu Family's friendship, after all, they were all rich people, so having more friends was better than having more enemies.

Li Shengtian thought about it more, Li Yi did not know when he would return, Xue'er's death had nothing to do with the Liu Family, if he was on good terms with the Liu Family, then it would give the Li Family a huge threat, why wouldn't they be happy about it, and even take the money.

This time, only the Li family and the Nangong Family remained to confront each other tit for tat!

I apologize with a smile! These two days are too busy, NND is hard to find a job! Helplessness! And he even had to give gifts and drinks every day! His head was dizzy all day.

This volume was finally over. The next volume was even more interesting, and would completely explain some of the mysteries of the continent, as well as Li Yi's future development. This was only the beginning stage of the main character. Hehe! You have to spend it when you smile!
