Chapter 15

In this courtyard, Luo Li was confident that he could easily assassinate anyone, even the head of the Luo family. Even if he killed them, Luo Li was confident he could leave easily.

In the afternoon, Elder Luo began to impart knowledge about cultivation. Luo Li felt it was about time and stood up to ask:

"Grandpa Xinlin, I have a question!"

Elder Luo replied, "What question?" Luo Li said, "Grandpa Xinlin, why do we need to learn these things? Our Luo family has the 72-form Luo family boxing, so why don't we cultivate that?"

As soon as he said this, Elder Luo had not yet answered, but the other young people burst into laughter:

"Ha ha ha, cultivating the martial arts of mortals, that's useless!"

"Country bumpkin, you really are a country bumpkin! You don't understand anything!"

Elder Luo also smiled and said:

"The 72-form Luo family boxing is just a martial art for mortals, only useful for strengthening the body. It has no use for cultivation, so it's better not to practice it!

Alright, alright, I will continue to impart the knowledge of cultivation. Luo Li, when you leave here and reach the Central Earth, and feel the existence of spiritual energy, you will understand why."

Thus, Luo Li occasionally asked some childish questions. With Luo Li's questions, he was seen as a diligent and studious young man by the elders, but in the eyes of the other four Luo family companions, he was just a country bumpkin.

As time passed, people gradually discovered that Luo Li particularly enjoyed helping others. In the morning, he would help the old man sweep the ground, help the steward repair broken tables and chairs, and help the servants clean the rooms, always being kind to others.

Whenever there was a chance for him to help, he would go and assist. Everyone had a good impression of him, and he quietly integrated into the Luo family.

Besides the recognition from everyone, there was also an intangible benefit, which was merit. As people expressed their gratitude, Luo Li's merit began to increase, adding two more, reaching a total of nine. Unfortunately, the things he could do were all minor, and there were no major deeds that would earn him endless gratitude, so he only gained two more points of merit.

Finally, the day of the once-every-twenty-years reception by the immortals arrived. The entire Luo family was tense, eagerly awaiting this day.

Led by the head of the family, many elders, including Luo Li, were waiting silently at the foot of a high platform in the city from dawn.

During this time, Luo Li had already figured out the situations of his companions. Luo Xin had water and wood spiritual roots, making her the most talented among the children, and was being intensively cultivated by the Luo family, so she could become the leader of these people.

The other three, Luo Lan, Luo Feng, and Luo Ming, all had five-element spiritual roots, barely able to cultivate, and had almost no future, making it difficult for them to achieve the Foundation Establishment stage. However, Luo Lan and Luo Feng each had special abilities, which somewhat compensated for their disadvantages.

Actually, Luo Li did not pay much attention to them. According to Master Ciyun's prediction, even if he left the Silver State Continent as a Luo family member and joined the Lingdie Sect, he would initially only be an outer sect disciple, despite the care of the Luo family's ancestors.

This was the rule of the Lingdie Sect. When joining the sect, one started as an outer sect disciple, and only after achieving outstanding results through hard cultivation would one be admitted to the inner sect, becoming a true disciple of the Lingdie Sect.

However, Luo Li had no such intention. When the time came, after adapting to the Central Earth, he would find an opportunity to sell the top-grade blood crystal stone and then quietly set out on his journey to Tianmu Mountain to receive the divine legacy. This was Luo Li's goal, and the Lingdie Sect was merely a stepping stone.

Just as Luo Li was lost in thought, a loud thunderclap echoed in the sky. However, the weather was clear, with not a cloud in sight, let alone rain!

The waiting crowd immediately began to chatter:

"Here they come, here they come!"

"The reception envoy has arrived, I wonder if it's the Third Ancestor or the Sixth Ancestor!"

"According to the rules, it should be the Sixth Ancestor, right?"

The so-called Third and Sixth Ancestors were all descendants of the Luo family who had joined the Lingdie Sect, entered the inner sect, and successfully achieved the Foundation Establishment stage, living for over two hundred years. There were six such ancestors in total. If any of them broke through to the Golden Core stage, the Luo family would become even more prosperous.

At this moment, a golden cloud appeared in the sky, accompanied by thunder, quickly flying towards them. The thunder was caused by the cultivators crossing from the outer realm to the Silver State world, creating a celestial phenomenon.

The head of the family, Luo Tianlong, shouted, "Everyone, be orderly, play the music, set off the fireworks, and burn incense to welcome our ancestors home!"

Immediately, the drums and gongs sounded, fireworks exploded, and everyone stood in a neat line, waiting for the ancestors to return.

In a moment, the golden cloud arrived at the high platform. This cloud was not made of mist but resembled a water droplet, with a streamlined shape and a brilliant golden color, exuding an indescribable beauty that made people like it at first sight.

Luo Tianlin, who was in front of Luo Li, whispered:

"See that? That's the Lingdie Sect's colorful-winged flying car. There are only twelve of them, and this one is the vehicle of our Luo family's ancestor, Xi Yi!"

This flying car was a means of transportation in the cultivation world, capable of flying through the sky and traveling thousands of miles in a day.

Luo Tianlong shouted, "Welcome our ancestor home, disciples pay your respects!"

After saying this, he led the way, kneeling and bowing, and all the Luo family descendants followed suit, welcoming the returning ancestor!

At this moment, the flying car emitted a clear sound, and the entire car flowed like water, quickly transforming into a small ball, which was caught by a delicate hand!

The flying car disappeared, revealing the person inside. To everyone's surprise, it was not one of the Luo family's Third or Sixth Ancestors, but a woman, a woman no one in the Luo family had ever seen!

This woman looked very young, with a beauty that could topple a nation, her radiance captivating. She wore purple palace attire, her skin as white as snow, her hair reaching her waist, and a purple butterfly on her head, looking as if it were alive, about to take flight! However, her delicate face showed no smile, cold and stern, making people feel a sense of fear.

After this woman appeared, all the old people of the Luo family were stunned, wondering who she was.

The woman glanced at the crowd and said:

"Passing through a thousand flowers, not a single leaf sticks to me!

I am the beloved concubine of the Xi Yi Zhenren, the master of Kongyang Peak, Su Cai Zhen. You may call me Immortal Su!"

"Passing through a thousand flowers, not a single leaf sticks to me!" This was the Lingdie Sect's motto! Each cultivation sect had its own motto, and when unfamiliar cultivators met, they would exchange mottos to understand each other's identities.

Her voice, though not loud, echoed throughout the city. With her voice, an intangible pressure was emitted, making everyone feel as if their livers and gallbladders were about to burst. This was the pressure of the Foundation Establishment stage, indicating that she was a true cultivator at that stage!

At this moment, Luo Li's mind became highly focused. He knew something was wrong with the Luo family!

Apart from the Golden Core cultivator Xi Yi, the Luo family had six Foundation Establishment cultivators, known as the Six Ancestors. One of them would always return to the Silver State, stay for a while, and then take the descendants with spiritual roots to the Central Earth.

However, today, none of the Six Ancestors had come, but instead, this Immortal Su had arrived, claiming to be Xi Yi's concubine. If this were true, the situation was even more serious!

Logically, Xi Yi would not let his wife or concubine handle such matters. Her presence suggested that Xi Yi had no one else to send, but where were the Six Ancestors?

Not only Luo Li, but also the head of the family, Luo Tianlong, and Elder Luo Tianlin, were deeply troubled, looking at Immortal Su.

Immortal Su frowned and said, "What, not welcoming?"

Luo Tianlong quickly reacted, shouting:

"Welcome, welcome our ancestor's return! Quickly, play the music, set off the fireworks!"

Immediately, the drums and gongs sounded again, and fireworks exploded. Immortal Su slowly walked down, with Luo Tianlong leading the way, entering the mansion. It seemed that Immortal Su had something to say.

Luo Li and the others waited outside. The other Luo family members, such as Luo Xin and Luo Lan, did not notice anything was wrong and continued to chat:

"Our ancestor's grandmother is so beautiful!"

"Yes, she's so beautiful, like a celestial fairy!"

"I like that colorful-winged flying car even more. It's so beautiful, capable of flying through the sky and traveling underground. I wish I could have one!"

"Ha ha, Feng, don't dream. The Lingdie Sect only has twelve of them, and our ancestor only has one. You want one? Only if you become as great as our ancestor!"

"Why not? I will become as great as our ancestor and own a colorful-winged flying car!"

Luo Li, however, was deeply thinking, silently praying:

"Don't let anything happen, please don't let anything happen. I must leave here!"

"Please don't let anything go wrong, everything must go smoothly, I must succeed. Father, please protect me!"

"Father sacrificed his life for me, and 1,374 people from the Heaven-Defying Assassination Hall died because of me. I must leave here, I must leave here!"

Immortal Su entered the Luo family mansion and quickly came out, heading straight for Luo Li and the others. Luo Li and the others immediately stood up, respectfully looking at Immortal Su!

Immortal Su arrived in front of them, looked around, and said:

"Are there only these five?"

Luo Tianlin respectfully replied, "Yes, ancestor's grandmother!"

Luo Li, who was good at observing, immediately noticed that although Luo Tianlong and Luo Tianlin were forcing smiles, their faces were ashen, a sign of extreme despair!

The Luo family had indeed encountered a problem!

Immortal Su looked at the five of them, focusing on Luo Xin, and asked:

"What is your name?"

Her voice was strange, carrying a terrifying power that directly targeted the heart, a secret technique of the Lingdie Sect used to prevent infiltration by spies, known as the Heart-Questioning Technique!

However, this was a secret technique of the Heart-Clever lineage of the Lingdie Sect, and the Luo family's ancestor was from the Heart-Clever lineage. How could she know this technique?

Luo Xin, hearing the question, honestly answered:

"My name is Luo Xin!"

Then Immortal Su looked at Luo Li and asked:

"What is your name?"

As she asked, a terrifying force entered Luo Li's body. Instantly, Luo Li began to involuntarily recall the past:

The destruction of White Flag Town, the passing of Master Ciyun, the betrayal of Xiaoqing, the 32 assassinations of powerful enemies, the intense cultivation during the Shadow Killing period, all the scenes played in Luo Li's mind, and then he opened his mouth, involuntarily saying his true name!

...

"Luo... Li!!!"
