Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch's Marriage - Chapter 231

Chapter 231: Chapter 166: Han Li Cuts the Grass and Removes the Roots! The Daqian Empire Trembles!_2
 

Leizhou’s title of “Ancestor of Concubine Acquisition” only spread within a small scope, such as a few manors, while Li Feiyu’s similar title became known throughout the entirety of Daqian, and even in the Xuan Domain.

Someone at the True Martial Realm engaging in such activities would always attract more and greater attention. The outside world buzzed with speculation about how many wives and concubines the master of the Li Manor, Li Feiyu, would take in a year, and whether Daqian Empire could really withstand this for four hundred years?

If Li Feiyu were to engage in some forceful abductions, especially targeting the Daqian Royalty, would the mighty ancestors of the empire intervene? Would the two sides come to a rupture?

“If I could ‘harvest’ that master of the Li Manor, Li Feiyu, could I rise to the True Martial Realm?” Yan Liulong thought to herself, her heart filled with longing.

Yet she knew this was merely a thought, one she could not act upon; she was a newly-advanced Grandmaster from the Myriad Phenomena Realm. Making such a move would simply be courting death.

Her sect, the Yinyang Sect, bore a deep grudge against Li Feiyu, as Emperor Wu Dugu Bing from the True Martial Realm had been severely injured by Li Feiyu, even falling in cultivation level. Although his wounds had since healed, it would still take a considerable time to regain his former realm.

Li Feiyu was also suspected of being a great demon, practicing the Collection and Supplement Method. Should Yan Liulong fall into his hands, she would effectively be delivering herself for him to ‘harvest,’ an outcome she dearly wished to avoid.

She enjoyed ‘harvesting’ others; she did not want to be ‘harvested.’ She pictured each of her targets carefully and selectively.

In the Capital City of Daqian, within the Li Manor.

Han Li stood atop the highest floor of Chong Xiao Pavilion, overlooking Daqian, contemplating a question.

Should he slay Yu Chengkong and his mentor, the Daqian National Teacher?

In years past, the Lin Family had been a moderately influential power in Yuanzhou, having once produced a Guru in the Hollow Void Stage, dominating in other manors within Yuanzhou.

When Yu Chengkong, the third disciple of the Daqian National Teacher, passed through the manor city where the Lin Family resided, he laid eyes on the beautiful, mature wife of the family head and, indulging his preferences, he outright demanded that the head gift his wife to him.

The head of the Lin Family refused, thus sowing the seeds of disaster. Bearing a grudge, Yu Chengkong conducted extensive inquiries, expending hefty resources to discover that the Lin Family possessed two Longevity Pills, capable of extending the life of a Grandmaster of the Myriad Phenomena Realm.

Yu Chengkong immediately informed the Daqian National Teacher of this information. Knowing his disciple wanted to use him as a cat’s-paw, the National Teacher still agreed, provided Yu Chengkong bring back the two miracle drugs.

Subsequently, Yu Chengkong led a raid on the Lin Family, wiping them out, and seizing the Longevity Pills, leaving the Lin Family’s head and his wives and concubines dead. Only two daughters were saved by their guards who fought desperately to help them escape to Leizhou.

These two daughters were Lin Yiwu and Lin Yiyin, who, since early years, became concubines of Han Li, each giving birth to three or four children.

After joining Han Mansion, the two sisters buried the incident deep in their hearts, never speaking of it, not wanting to place pressure on their husband, Han Li, or bring major troubles to Han Mansion.

But Han Li had not forgotten, just that previously the timing was not right and his identity did not permit action; now, the identity of Li Feiyu posed no issues.

Li Feiyu was a formidable Emperor Wu of the True Martial Realm, the pillar that would support Daqian for the next four hundred years—Daqian Empire’s greatest bulwark.

Killing a disciple of the State Preceptor was a trivial matter, and even if he were to kill the Daqian National Teacher himself, who would dare to object?

After pondering for a while, Han Li decided it was time to act, to kill Yu Chengkong and even the Daqian National Teacher together, to prevent future calamities.

He had refrained from acting before due to insufficient strength and the potential for trouble; now, his strength was adequate, and with this identity, there was no need for so much caution. If he still hesitated, too afraid to even avenge a wrong, he felt he would be unworthy of the identity of one who followed the way of survival.

The enemies of his concubines were also his enemies. Now that he, Han Li, had survived until he was sufficiently powerful, he need not be so cautious anymore. What use was his combat ability in the True Martial Realm if he still feared this and that?

Han Li’s Spiritual Sense surged forth, enveloping the entire Qian Dynasty, locating the residence of the Daqian National Teacher, and identified that the Teacher had even set up a Third Grade Formation around his manor.

Han Li’s Spiritual Sense did not try to forcefully break through, as disturbing the formation might alert Yu Chengkong and the Daqian National Teacher, causing them to hide, which would lead to complications.

His figure vanished from the Li Manor, and when he reappeared, he had changed his attire and proceeded to the Tianji Pavilion to check on Yu Chengkong’s whereabouts, discovering that he had recently been staying at Mentor’s Manor.

In the secret chamber of Mentor’s Manor.

The Daqian National Teacher sat at the head, with his disciples seated below; Yu Chengkong was also there, his mouth opening and closing as he spoke incessantly, “Master, are we really leaving the Daqian Empire?”

“Indeed, Master, if we leave the Daqian Empire, where can we go?” the second disciple asked, his head drooping.

“Hmph, would your master harm you?” the First Disciple snorted coldly, unsatisfied with the tone.

“That Li Feiyu is too arrogant, shamelessly taking on concubines, and at this rate, he might eventually set his sights on our wives and daughters.”

“If we don’t leave now, do you wish to present your wives and daughters to the Li Manor as concubines?”

“Eldest brother is absolutely right. I don’t dare to show my face anymore for fear that one day I’ll be snatched away by the lord of the Li Manor to become a concubine,” said the fourth disciple with a bitter smile.

She was the fourth disciple of the State Preceptor, known as Li Na, with a Fourth Grade Cultivation Talent. She was the State Preceptor’s last disciple with the lowest talent and had reached the pinnacle of the God Refining Realm. Additionally, she was an absolute beauty with a voluptuous figure, curvaceous in all the right places, and a cold but stunning demeanor.

“Enough, your master has made a decision; there is no need for further discussion,” the Daqian National Teacher said blandly.

In truth, he had long harbored thoughts of breaking away from the Qian Dynasty, although he had been hesitant, opting to wait and see if there was yet something to gain from the empire.
