Chapter 305: Return (Part 2)

The Yu family, Milin County.

"Li Li Tongya?"

Yu Yu Xiaogui's expression was gloomy. The stone door behind him closed slowly, his momentum surging, clearly having made progress again. Kneeling in front of the stone door was Yu Yu Mugao, dressed in black, his head hanging low, his expression unclear.

"There is a Jinlian Mohe in the north who reincarnated and cultivated in Short Chen Temple. He had the cultivation of a Dharma Master. I don't know how he killed Li Li Xuanling, but he was killed by Li Li Tongya."

Yu Yu Mugao answered respectfully. Yu Yu Xiaogui frowned upon hearing this, laughed contemptuously, waved his hand, and laughed:

"How is that possible!"

"I have also fought Li Li Tongya... he only won by a narrow margin. What level is a Jinlian Mohe reincarnation? Let alone Li Li Tongya, even if that Sword Immortal Li Li Chijing came personally, he would likely be helpless against him!"

Yu Yu Mugao nodded in agreement and replied:

"There must be fraud in this."

Seeing Yu Yu Xiaogui's furrowed brows, Yu Yu Mugao bowed lightly and said gently:

"Father, Yu Yu Muxian has broken through to Foundation Establishment and condensed an Immortal Foundation. I heard that in a few years, when the next tribute is collected, he will personally come to the lake."

"What? Xiao Xian'er has broken through to Foundation Establishment!"

Yu Yu Xiaogui was overjoyed and laughed loudly. Then he looked at Yu Yu Mugao suspiciously and said coldly:

"We are all family, why do you call your brother like that!"

"Brother?"

Yu Yu Mugao raised his head, smiled coldly, and replied:

"Father treats him as a son, but he doesn't treat you as a father! Father, you don't know, Yu Yu Muxian is now Tang Tang Yuanwu's precious son-in-law. He can sell out his own Old Ancestor to gain the trust of the Mount Qingchi Sect. Who cares about the tiny Yu family!"

Yu Yu Xiaogui was both shocked and angry. He suddenly grabbed Yu Yu Mugao by the collar and roared:

"What did you say?!"

"Yu Yu Muxian has long regarded my Yu family as a stepping stone! He knew about the Old Ancestor's death long ago! My family has cultivated him with great effort since he was young, sent him into the sect, and supported him for decades, letting him build connections in the sect..."

"As a result, the marketplace was destroyed, my family became desolate, and he wouldn't say a word! He even colluded with the Mount Qingchi Sect to sell out the Old Ancestor, specifically letting Chi Chi Zhiyan warn me..."

Yu Yu Mugao was a person who planned and worried a lot. He had discovered from Yu Yu Muxian's various signs that this younger brother of his had long since changed. He recounted scene after scene, line after line, leaving Yu Yu Xiaogui stunned and unable to believe it.

"How is that possible... how is that possible... We treated Yu Muxian with such sincerity, how could he be like this..."

The disbelief and grief on Yu Yu Xiaogui's face were intertwined, appearing particularly painful. Yu Yu Mugao stared into Yu Yu Xiaogui's eyes and said fiercely:

"Father had better not hold any hope for this person!"

Yu Yu Xiaogui slowly let go of him and took a step back, seemingly still digesting Yu Yu Mugao's words. After a long time, he said:

"Call your Fourth Clan Uncle."

"The Fourth Clan Uncle has passed away."

Yu Yu Mugao responded in a low voice. Yu Yu Xiaogui's expression changed drastically. He raised his head and exclaimed:

"He had Qi Refining cultivation and was only over seventy. How could he die!"

"He embezzled family property and was killed by me."

Yu Yu Mugao answered respectfully, but the words he spat out made Yu Yu Xiaogui feel powerless. His face turned pale, he gritted his teeth, and after a long time, he said:

"Let your Sixth Grand Uncle come."

"The Sixth Grand Uncle colluded with loose cultivators and sold family spiritual rice cheaply; he was also killed by me."

Yu Yu Xiaogui raised his head in disbelief to look at him, his lips trembling. He suddenly felt that something was wrong. In the time he had been in seclusion, the outside world had likely turned upside down. For a time, his face flushed red, and he said:

"How many people did you kill..."

"Fifty-eight clan uncles, sixty-seven clan uncles, one hundred and ninety-four clan brothers—all evidence is conclusive, and they were all wicked."

Yu Yu Mugao's expression remained respectful, but the words he spat out were chilling, causing Yu Yu Xiaogui to take a step back, staring at him in disbelief.

"You... you... you beast! You!"

Yu Yu Xiaogui's hand was raised high, and he slapped Yu Yu Mugao hard, knocking him back a few steps. He was furious, his eyes red, and he cursed:

"Beast! Beast! Is there anyone you dare not kill!"

Yu Yu Xiaogui's face was flushed red, his momentum surging, and he hissed:

"The Fourth Uncle personally held you when he brought you to Milin County, personally went to seek marriage for you, and the Sixth Grand Uncle raised you with your father... You... you... these are all kin! Yu Mugao! You are muddled!"

"The child knows."

Half of Yu Yu Mugao's face was red. He slowly straightened up, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. He remained calm and said lightly:

"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. If not for this, my Yu family would perish within three generations."

Li Li Tongya rested in the forest for a while. Using his finger as a sword, he cut a piece of wood from a tree, waved his hand to hollow it out, placed Li Li Xuanling's head inside, and carved another piece as a lid, storing it carefully.

Li Li Tongya held the wooden box, flying and stopping along the way, and finally arrived at the Li family's territory. He chanted a spell to disperse the mud and dust on his body, hid his figure, and entered Mount Lijing Mountain quietly.

The small courtyard on Mount Lijing Mountain was spotless. Clearly, someone had been sent to clean it these past few days. Li Li Tongya placed the wooden box on the table, transmitted his voice down with magic power, and turned into the inner courtyard to change into a set of clothes. After tidying up his expression, the juniors had already arrived in front of the courtyard to pay their respects.

Li Li Tongya sat high in the seat of honor. Looking out, Li Li Qinghong was the most grief-stricken, weeping in the seat below. Her beautiful apricot eyes were red from crying, sobbing in a low voice.

Li Li Xuanxuan had returned from the marketplace. The years of business had given him a calculating temperament. His beard and hair were mixed with some white, and he already looked old. He stood blankly in the seat below, staring blankly at the wooden box, saying nothing, not knowing what he was thinking.

Li Brother Yuanping's pale face looked even worse, his dark grey eyes filled with deep resentment. Li Li Yuanjiao in the middle had a look of grief, but his emotions were much more stable. His left hand was tightly gripping the dragon-coiled jade, his lips pressed tightly together.

Li Li Tongya sighed, handed the wooden box to Li Li Qinghong. Li Li Qinghong wiped her tears, took it silently, and said nothing. Li Li Tongya's voice was slightly hoarse as he asked:

"Hasn't Li Yuanyun arrived yet?"

Li Li Yuanjiao stepped forward and replied:

"I have already sent someone to pick him up from East East Shanyue."

Li Li Xuanling had one son and one daughter, Li Li Yuanyun and Li Li Qinghong. It was just that Li Li Yuanyun had no spiritual apertures and had never had much presence. This was also the first time Li Li Tongya had summoned him back to Mount Lijing Mountain. Hearing this, he nodded and fell silent.

For a time, only Li Li Qinghong's low sobbing remained in the courtyard. The juniors were silent, looking at Li Li Tongya's exhausted and pale face, with vague premonitions.

A full incense stick of time passed before footsteps came from below. The courtyard gate creaked, and a middle-aged man ran in, crawling and rolling. He was slightly fat, but his eye sockets were slightly dark, and his lips were trembling.

This middle-aged man knelt down in front of Li Li Tongya with a thud, with a hint of crying in his voice, and whispered:

"Unworthy descendant Li Yuanyun, greets Grandfather..."
