Old Lady Li's face became increasingly grim, and she truly wished to slap this wretched descendant to death. However, on one hand, Li Jue was the only survivor ahead, and on the other, he was still her grandson. In her daily life, the old lady had cherished this grandson, making it difficult for her to act against him.
At that moment, a loud, wild laugh came from afar: "Hahaha... So everyone is here! Since you’ve all gathered, it saves me a lot of trouble. I will ensure you all have a swift journey to reunite with your loved ones!"
Hearing this, Li Jue immediately lost control again, panicking and squeezing his way into the crowd of women, stuttering, "They’re coming, they’re coming... Who will protect me... Hurry, hurry... I want to run... Help me..."
"Shut up, you wretched descendant!" Old Lady Li shouted.
Her voice was not loud, but it carried immense authority.
At this moment, hundreds of thousands of people heard the enemy’s movements and displayed a sorrowful expression at the same time; the last shred of hope was dashed. The enemy had entered the core of the Li family, which meant… all of their own family members had been killed!
Otherwise, how could they have come here? How could they have arrived at this place?!
Yet amid the sadness, they all straightened their chests, showing no sign of fear, but rather a sense of relief that liberation was near.
They are gone, and soon it will be our turn. Although we are weak, our iron blood remains. The people of the Li family fear nothing, even in death!
Figures continued to arrive in succession, with Chen Jianlong at the forefront, exuding arrogance, shouting with his nostrils flared: "Tell me, where are the Li family's treasures? Hand them over straightforwardly, and I'll let you die painlessly. Don't make things harder for yourselves; that feeling is not pleasant, so be smart!"
Old Lady Li replied calmly, "Which esteemed guest are you? Please state your name! The people of the Li family have never regarded treasures highly, but if you want the Li family's treasures, you must also see if you are qualified!"
The old lady raised her head, her white hair fluttering as two sharp gazes shot out. Coldly, she said, "It is not just anyone who can take over the Li family's treasures!"
Chen Jianlong coldly snorted, "Old hag, who are you?"
The old lady chuckled, "This is the northwest, the Li family's territory! This 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? Or maybe it is still the Li family, but not for long. The men of the Li family have all been killed! Even that ancestral master, Li Chunbo, is dead. Do you think this can still be the Li family’s territory? You still insist on this question? How ridiculous!"
The old lady suddenly laughed to the sky, a mournful yet bold laugh, saying, "The Li family not only has men, but also women. We are also members of the Li family! As long as there is one person left with the surname Li, this land will still belong to the Li family!"
Everyone shouted in unison, "That's right! As long as there is one person left in the Li family with the surname Li, this land is the Li family’s! This is the Li family!"
Chen Jianlong laughed heartily, pointing over, "Hmm. It seems there’s still someone with a handle over there. Is he also from your Li family!?"
He was pointing at Li Jue.
Li Jue felt himself locked onto by the enemy’s divine thought, instantly terrified, and shouted: "Don’t kill me, help me..." He turned to flee, squeezing into the crowd, not caring about gender, running further and further away.
Seeing this, Chen Jianlong laughed even more, saying, "I didn’t expect the Li family to still have someone sensible. Someone like him can survive because he knows fear, knows what to provoke and what not to provoke! Do you still think this land belongs to the Li family?" He directed the question at Old Lady Li.
Old Lady Li said calmly, "I will answer your first question. That beast, what surname he carries now is irrelevant, but he will definitely no longer bear the surname Li. Even if he lives on for another hundred years, a thousand years, or ten thousand years, the ancestors of the Li family will never recognize him as a Li! He is unworthy! Furthermore, this is the Li family's territory. As long as there is one person in the Li family taking a breath, this will never change!"
