Old Lady Li's expression grew increasingly unpleasant. She genuinely wished she could slap this troublemaker to death. However, on one hand, Li Jue was the only survivor in front, and on the other, after all, they were a grandparent and grandchild. Old Lady Li had always doted on this grandson and simply couldn't bring herself to do it…
At this moment, a wild laugh echoed from afar: “Hahaha… so everyone is here. Now that you’ve all gathered, it saves me quite a bit of trouble. Since you are so considerate, I’ll make sure you all leave swiftly and reunite with your loved ones!”
Upon hearing this, Li Jue immediately lost control again. In a state of panic, he squeezed into the group of women, incoherently muttering, “They’re here, they’re here… Who will protect me… Hurry, hurry… I want to run… Help…”
“Shut up, you troublemaker!” Old Lady Li shouted.
Her voice wasn't loud, but it was filled with extreme authority.
Hundreds of thousands of people heard the sounds belonging to their enemies and simultaneously showed sorrowful expressions. Their last shred of hope was dashed; the enemy had reached the heart of the Li family, proving that… all their family members had already been killed!
Otherwise, how could they have come here? How could they be on this ground?!
But amidst the sorrow, they all straightened their chests, showing not an ounce of fear, but rather a sense of relief that liberation was near.
They have left; soon it will be our turn. Though we may be weak, our iron blood remains. The Li family members, even in death, have no fear?!
Shadows began to arrive one after another. Chen Jianlong led the charge, exuding extreme arrogance as he shouted, “Tell me, where have the Li family's treasures been placed? Hand them over quickly, and I’ll make your deaths painless. Don’t make it difficult for yourselves; that experience is truly unpleasant. Be smart about this.”
Old Lady Li replied calmly, “May I ask who you are? The Li family may not care much for treasure, but whether you qualify to seek it is another matter!”
With a lift of her head, her white hair fluttered, and two sharp eyes shot forth as she coldly said, “Not just anyone can take over the Li family’s treasures!”
Chen Jianlong snorted coldly, “Who do you think you are, old hag?”
Old Lady Li chuckled grimly, “This is the northwest, the territory of the Li family! Here is the Li family. I’m asking you, who are you?”
Chen Jianlong became furious, “The northwest of the Li family? This is the Li family? Perhaps it is still the Li family now, but it won’t be for long. The men of the Li family are all dead! Even that old ancestor, Li Chunbo, is dead. Do you really think this can still be the Li family’s territory? How ridiculous!”
Old Lady Li suddenly laughed towards the sky, her laughter both mournful and heroic as she said, “The Li family not only has men but also women. We are also Li family members! As long as there is still one person with the surname Li, this land remains the Li family’s!”
Everyone shouted in unison, “Indeed, as long as there is still one person in the Li family with the surname Li, this land belongs to the Li family! This is the Li family!”
Chen Jianlong laughed heartily, pointing, “Oh, there seems to be another man over there. Is he also from your Li family?!”
The person he pointed at was Li Jue.
Li Jue felt his divine thought locked onto by the newcomer and immediately fell into despair, shouting, “Don’t kill me, help me…” He turned and fled, squeezing toward the crowd regardless of gender, running farther and farther away.
Seeing this, Chen Jianlong’s smile grew even wider as he chuckled, “I didn’t expect the Li family to still have someone who knows the situation. Someone like him can survive because he knows fear, knows what can provoke trouble and what cannot! Do you still think this land belongs to the Li family?” He directed the question at Old Lady Li.
Old Lady Li replied calmly, “Let me first answer your first question. That beast, it doesn’t matter what surname he has now; he will never again be a Li, because even if he survives for another hundred years, a thousand years, or ten thousand years, the ancestors of the Li family will never acknowledge him as Li! He is unworthy! Secondly, this place is the Li family’s territory. As long as there is still one person from the Li family, this will never change!”
