Li Jue and Li Batian felt a chill run through their bodies. They never expected that the great formation had already reached its limit, and with just one more person, it would burst!
At this moment, Li Batian was filled with endless regret.
"What is going on?" An elderly woman with white hair and drenched in blood rushed over, interrogating Li Jue and Li Batian.
She was the highest-ranked person among the women and the widow of a certain ancestor of the Li family; usually silent and not involved in family matters; yet she was the calmest person at this moment.
Li Jue had originally been outside, but he suddenly appeared in the empty space that had materialized, which itself was peculiar.
Furthermore, it was because of him that this place had been exposed, which had previously shown no trace.
This was clearly a top-secret hiding spot, yet for some unknown reason, it had been revealed...
All the questions pointed towards Li Jue; it absolutely had a direct connection to him!
At this moment of questioning, she was gritting her teeth, her eyes filled with fury.
"This... this is a protective formation..." Li Batian realized that he had caused a huge disaster, and subconsciously recounted everything that had happened.
Everyone was stunned.
All the women were filled with despair! This was the first time they truly felt hopeless!
"According to what you said... these people were actually hidden descendants of the family, who could have escaped with their bloodline powers... and now, it has all been ruined by the selfishness of Li Jue?"
With this question, tens of thousands of women's gazes shifted in unison, fiercely focusing on Li Jue's face!
What was most important to men might be family, career, or benefits!
But to women, the most important thing would always be their children, a fact that surpassed everything else!
At this moment, they realized that their children had originally had great hopes of survival, only to be harmed by Li Jue, this selfish beast, and suddenly the resentment that surged within them could bring down the heavens.
In that moment, everyone was gritting their teeth, wishing they could tear Li Jue apart.
"I'm afraid that's exactly it, the situation turned out like this..." The highest-ranking elderly woman said weakly, "I once heard the men say that no one was allowed to go out; clearly, Li Jue must have used some secret method to try to hide inside and seek survival, resulting in the formation bursting. A slight mistake in the formation can lead to disastrous consequences..."
"Li Jue! You beast, you deserve to die! So many people have died, why are you still alive! You disaster!" Tens of thousands of people were suddenly enraged!
This was a hatred that could sever bloodlines!
The only ones capable of doing all this had to be those with shared consciousness of different bodies!
In an instant, everyone understood. They glared at Li Jue and Li Batian, and a chorus of gritted teeth echoed around!
Damn them!
The Li family had already reached this dead-end, and these two brothers still wanted to play tricks, harming the entire clan!
Now look, they had truly led to a massacre, completely annihilated!
Chen Jianlong, who was also puzzled, had excellent cultivation and had already locked onto the core location of the incident with divine thought. He understood the general situation and couldn't help but feel as if a pie had fallen from the sky.
Today was truly my lucky day. I initially planned to catch a coward for easier treasure hunting, but unexpectedly, I unearthed a whole bunch of hidden troubles. He laughed heartily, "Wonderful, wonderful! I was worried about not eradicating the roots; spring winds blow and they grow back! Li Jue, you have truly helped me a lot; I won't kill you, you are my noble person, hahaha..."
This laugh was the final straw. The women of the Li family, filled with new grudges and old hatred, suddenly abandoned their enemies and charged forward.
"You damned beast!"
The scolding voices nearly warped; Li Jue and Li Batian were almost dragged out of the crowd.
