Chapter 384: Chapter 163: Can a Maid’s Son Not Attain the Supreme Dao? Li Shentong—It Was I Who Killed Him, So What?
"If you want it, just seize it!"
"Relying on that bastard of yours, I’m telling you, don’t even dream about it."
"Before, when the Divine Techniques were not dead, I could still spare his life and let him barely survive, throwing him far away as if he didn’t exist."
"But..."
"Why should he live when Divine Techniques is dead?"
"And... he even joined the Life and Death Mountain and River Sect!"
"Clearly, my son is the one divinely blessed!"
Crack!
Throwing the teacup in her hand with great force, Dong Hongshuang’s phoenix eyes brimmed with malice, her chest heaving as she looked coldly at Li Shen Yao:
"Let me tell you."
"If you want something, fight for it."
"As for that boy..."
"Regardless of whether Divine Techniques’ death has anything to do with him, a boy with none of my blood trying to enter my household? Impossible!"
"If he dares to come, I’ll kill him on the spot!"
"Just you watch!"
At this moment.
Li Xuanzong, with a fine sweat on his forehead and panting heavily, watched his parents argue, a sense of unease slowly rising in his heart.
Having just descended from Nirvana Mountain, he hurried back to the Duke’s Mansion with a light cavalry.
Coincidentally,
Seeing him return, Li Shen Yao suppressed his anger, turned, and asked:
"Xuanzong..."
"Did you succeed with the business at Nirvana Mountain?"
"Your brother..."
"Li Shunfan, did you bring him back?"
Uh.
Hearing his father’s inquiry.
Li Xuanzong swallowed, revealing all he knew about the Mountain and River Immortal breaking through the Life and Death Profound Barrier, living a second life, and possibly realizing the True Man Technique.
And how he accepted Li Treading Immortal as a disciple, teaching the Primordial Spirit Technique, descending the mountain to eliminate demons, and vowing to settle scores with anyone who pursued and besieged the Life and Death Disciples, among other news.
All at once...
He divulged it all.
Once he finished speaking.
In the spacious, empty hall.
Dead silence reigned.
Li Shen Yao’s expression shifted like clouds, veins bulging on his forehead, and after a few moments, he fiercely flicked his sleeve:
"Look at the mess you’ve made!!"
Meanwhile, Dong Hongshuang furrowed her slender brows:
"Why panic."
"Even if Zuo Shanhe descends, he hasn’t truly become a True Master, and he’s only the top of our race’s Mystic Sect, not the greatest under heaven!"
"The Six Pillars of Divine Blood, Northwest Three Ancestral Courts, abound with exceptional talents!"
"With innate physical abilities and bloodline Divine Techniques, relying merely on a fragmented ancestral method falls short, you’ve seen it yourself."
"Without reaching the fourth step, without becoming a True Master, it’s all in vain!"
"As for that little bastard..."
"Hmph."
"So what if he has a backer?"
"The son of a maidservant, dare he come to this Tongye Duke’s Mansion, dare he come... before me, the mistress?!"
Dong Hongshuang sneered coldly on one side.
On the other side.
At the corridor’s end, before the stone lions at the entrance, stood a youth in white robes with wide sleeves, his hair draped over his shoulders, every movement accompanied by rising air currents, and at his brow seemed yin and yang transforming into a Divine Soul, ever spinning, connecting with the heavens and earth...
He listened with closed eyes to the nearby activity; when he perceived the movement within the Tongye Duke’s Mansion.
Accompanying him.
In terms of beauty and demeanor, surpassing Dong Hongshuang by three parts, was Luo Fuyao, who, having cultivated the same techniques and entered the Upper-Rank Primordial Pill Dao, looked on with pity:
"Your life hasn’t been easy, with such a lowly status of your birth mother..."
She whispered softly, seemingly recalling her own experiences, her heart heavy for a moment.
But Jixia shook his head:
"It isn’t."
As he spoke, both he and Luo Fuyao advanced, having cultivated the ’Nirvana Primordial Spirit Skill’ together. Upon achieving some success, they transformed into Primordial Spirit Bodies, making them imperceptible to ordinary mortals like the servants of the Tongye Duke’s Mansion.
Speaking leisurely and stepping casually, they traversed the corridor, arriving at the entrance of the main hall.
It was then they halted.
At this moment.
Jixia used a soft, gentle voice, yet each word struck like a heavy stone...
Facing the interior of the hall, he earnestly declared:
"It doesn’t matter how you were born."
"Can’t a maid’s son attain the rank of a prince, or become a True Master?"
"Dong Hongshuang."
The sudden appearance of Jixia and Luo Fuyao.
Caused Li Shen Yao, Dong Hongshuang, and Li Xuanzong to rise simultaneously.
With an appearance akin to a Divine Being, Jixia, his hair flowing with an energy stream, swung his sleeves and stepped over the threshold, facing the dignified and imposing Duke’s hall, showing no fear, only lightly laughing as he said:
"Li Shentong."
"I killed him."
"He wanted to kill me, so I killed him."
"What do you intend to do?"
