Chapter 308: Chapter 306: Do Not Provoke Qin Li
"Demon Technique! This is a Demon Technique!" a Han Family Elder roared, his eyes bloodshot with rage. He moved toward the other Han Family Elder, whose face was flushed, attempting to wake him.
"If you don’t want him to die, don’t touch him! A Demon Technique? You ignorant fool!" Qin Li’s voice was ice-cold, causing the Han Family Elder to freeze in his tracks. Then, Qin Li turned back to the Elder Han he had under his control with a single application of his Spiritual Power and continued his questions.
"What is your name?"
"Han Wentong."
"Who went to the Potala Holy Land back then? Also, do you have any special purpose for coming here this time?"
Inside the grand banquet hall, no one dared to even breathe too loudly. Everyone stared, dumbfounded, at the bizarre scene unfolding before them. Even Patriarch Lin and the upper echelons of the Thousand Mechanism Sect watched Qin Li with disbelief. They weren’t so ignorant as to think this was some Demon Technique.
They all knew this was an extremely profound Spiritual Power Cultivation Technique!
"I was the only outsider. Besides me, there were over thirty people from the Cui Family, a dozen of whom were High Level stewards. The one leading them was the Cui Family’s Seventeenth Elder. The Cui Family’s Seventeenth Elder and I are sworn brothers, and he holds a grudge against the Thousand Mechanism Sect. Hehehe, this time, he had me come and scout out the Thousand Mechanism Sect’s Young Master’s wedding to see how many important figures would show up. I’ve already sent the message out. A lot of big shots have come this time... Profound Island is about to undergo a massive change!"
As soon as Han Wentong said this, the expressions of all the Thousand Mechanism Sect’s upper echelons changed drastically. This was especially true for Shen Longxing, who had been sitting there calmly. The veins on the hand gripping his wine cup bulged.
CRACK!
With a sharp sound, the wine cup was crushed in Shen Longxing’s grip.
Because that Seventeenth Elder of the Cui Family was none other than the Cui Family man Shen Longmei had married all those years ago! The very same Seventeenth Elder who later had an arm severed!
These matters could all be considered top secret. Yet today, in front of everyone, they had been brutally dragged into the light by Qin Li!
Many of those with guilty consciences looked at Qin Li with expressions full of horror. ’In front of this young man,’ they thought, ’can anything truly be kept a secret?’
Han Feng and the other Han Family Elders were stunned. This was no longer just a matter of losing face. It was obvious that Han Wentong had colluded with the Cui Family, feeding them information. Even if he hadn’t, someone else would have, but given the current situation, the Han Family was now likely to suffer a major blow in the near future.
One only had to look at the way the surrounding people were staring at the Han Family members to understand the crisis they now faced.
A savage look flashed across Han Feng’s pale, handsome face. CLANG! He drew the sword from his waist and ruthlessly thrust it at Han Wentong!
"You disgrace to the family! Today, I will cleanse our house on behalf of the Han Family!"
"Stop!" Qin Li roared. His body shot toward Han Feng like a bolt of lightning, and he sent him flying with a single kick.
Before the other Han Family Elders could make a move, Qin Li grabbed the dazed Han Wentong. With his other hand, he struck several major acupoints on Han Wentong’s body. Then, with the speed of a striking falcon, he returned to his original spot.
Brilliant!
There were far too many people with discerning eyes in the banquet hall. From these few movements alone, they could tell that his ability to kill the Cui Family’s Venerable, Cui Leng, with a single strike was by no means a fluke or an accident!
It was like how every field has its super-geniuses!
And Qin Li was a super-genius of the Martial Dao!
At this moment, Han Wentong had woken up from his dazed state. Seeing that he had somehow been subdued, he began to curse loudly, "Qin Li, you’re provoking the entire Han Family! I’ll fight you to the death! Let me go, or the Han Family will not spare you!"
"The Han Family? Why don’t you first take a look at what your dear Young Master was planning to do? Heh, if I hadn’t saved you, you’d already be dead by his sword!"
"You’re lying!" Han Wentong retorted, but his eyes couldn’t help but drift toward Han Feng, who was climbing up from the floor.
Han Feng stood there holding his sword, looking somewhat disheveled. His eyes shot out a gloomy light as he said with deep resentment, "Qin Li, are you trying to interfere in my Han Family’s affairs? Furthermore, this was Han Wentong’s personal action. It has nothing to do with the Han Family as a whole!"
The other Elders nodded in agreement. "That’s right, that’s right. This was his personal action..."
Although Han Wentong knew that abandoning him now was the wisest move for the Han Family, he found it emotionally unacceptable—especially the fact that his beloved Young Master, Han Feng, had actually tried to kill him with a sword.
"So be it, so be it! This is all my own doing; I have no one else to blame!" Han Wentong sighed in defeat. He then looked at Qin Li and asked, unwilling to accept it, "I want to know, just how did you make me tell the truth?"
It turned out that what Han Wentong had just experienced was only in his mind! For some reason, that feeling of satisfaction had made him involuntarily recall the events of the past.
And Qin Li’s voice had been like a whisper from the heavens, ethereal and illusory, making one want to answer him without thinking. At the time, Han Wentong had even thought to himself: ’This is the most satisfying thing I’ve ever done in my life!’
But now that he was lucid, seeing the looks on everyone’s faces, he almost instantly concluded that he had spoken aloud everything he had just been thinking!
Qin Li glanced at Han Wentong and said flatly, "I’m not telling you."
"You! You little bastard, if you have the guts, kill me right now!" Han Wentong suddenly roared, his eyes turning red.
Then his eyes turned to the pale-faced Leng Yao, and he sneered, "Little girl, I know you hate me. Of your family members, I’ve killed at least three or four hundred, if not five hundred. Haha! And a few of the pretty, delicate ones were... well, you understand, right? Hahaha! Come on, kill me, and you can have your revenge!"
At this moment, Han Wentong was purely trying to provoke Leng Yao, to make this beautiful young woman kill him with her sword. That would be a release!
Sure enough, Leng Yao drew her sword, gritted her teeth, and thrust it toward Han Wentong without hesitation!
Qin Li grabbed Leng Yao’s wrist and said softly, "Letting him die like this would be letting him off too easy, wouldn’t it?"
"Qin Li, you little animal, you little mongrel! A life for a life is the most you can take, what more do you want?" Han Wentong glared at Qin Li with bloodshot eyes. If looks could kill, Qin Li would have died many times over.
"Qin Li, this is the Thousand Mechanism Sect. Don’t go too far," a Han Family Elder said, glaring at Qin Li with hatred. No matter what, Han Wentong was still a member of the Han Family. Although the family had expelled him, everyone present could see it was just a way for them to shirk responsibility.
"Too far?" Qin Li sneered, his eyes fixed on the Han Family Elder. "You think that just by expelling Han Wentong, this matter will have nothing to do with the Han Family?"
As Qin Li spoke, he grabbed Han Wentong by the collar and lifted him up, saying coolly, "Killing an animal like you here would spoil everyone’s mood. It’s a joyous day for the Thousand Mechanism Sect, and I don’t want to ruin my brother’s happy occasion. So, I’ll take you outside. I’ll make sure you wish you were dead!"
The Han Family Elder over there demanded loudly, "Qin Li, what do you mean by that? What does this have to do with our Han Family?"
Qin Li looked at this Elder and gave a grim sneer. "And where did your Han Family’s two Pill Formulas come from? You reaped a massive benefit, then pushed out a scapegoat. Your calculations are quite clever, but it won’t work on me!"
With that, Qin Li, holding Han Wentong, seemed to walk slowly, but in just a few steps, he reached the entrance of the banquet hall. He had once again displayed his skill, leaving a room full of wide-eyed, stunned onlookers.
The remaining Han Family Elders and Young Master Han Feng were left with ashen faces, staring at each other. That’s right—the two Elixirs from those formulas had brought the Han Family enormous profits over the years. There was no way they would ever hand them over to anyone!
Qin Li’s words had clearly pushed the Han Family to the edge of a cliff. By now, which of these Han Family Elders or the Young Master Han Feng still dared to believe that Qin Li didn’t have the power to eradicate the Han Family?
In truth, Qin Li wasn’t moved by the value of the two Pill Formulas themselves. Holding Ancient Pill Formulas in his hands, how could he truly care about those two?
What he cared about was how to let Leng Yao have her cathartic... bloody revenge!
As for everything else, Qin Li truly didn’t care much. A man in this world should act as he pleases! Unconsciously, Qin Li was falling deeper and deeper under the influence of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, Only I am Venerable combat technique. Even the Innate Purple Qi, while constantly nourishing his body, was also quietly changing his mentality.
Han Wentong shouted and cursed the entire way, but Qin Li paid him no mind. He carried him out of the Thousand Mechanism Sect’s guest estate. Ahead was a small mountain, quiet and still in the night.
Qin Li threw Han Wentong to the ground, then looked at Leng Yao and said, "This is your first enemy. How do you want to kill him?"
Leng Yao’s voice was incomparably cold, as if seeping out from ten-thousand-year-old Cold Ice. "I want him to suffer to the absolute limit before he dies! Otherwise, it would be letting this animal off easy!"
"You’ll all die horrible deaths!" Han Wentong knew he was not going to die a peaceful death, so he just started screaming curses. This left the many people who had followed Qin Li out and were listening from a distance at the guest estate’s entrance completely dumbfounded.
They couldn’t imagine that a high-status Han Family Elder could spew such filthy language.
However, Han Wentong’s subsequent, inhumanly shrill screams sent a chill through everyone’s hearts. The sound was like something out of the Nine Netherworld Hell; it was hardly a sound a human could make.
The members of the Han Family stood there, their faces filled with endless humiliation and veins bulging on their foreheads. They couldn’t even stop their bodies from trembling. But under the immense pressure from behemoths like the Thousand Mechanism Sect and the Lin Family, they truly did not dare to fight Qin Li to the death.
Even some of the old masters in the Venerable Realm felt a chill run through their bodies upon hearing that sound.
That Qin Li was not someone to be provoked!
