Chapter 1099: Chapter 1093: My Poor, ill-Fated Daughter
“You tell him.”
Li Wei glanced at Li Zhijing.
Hearing this, Li Zhijing stared blankly ahead. Despite her reckless and unruly behavior in Northguard City, once outside, not many people gave her face.
Especially the Qiu Clan; those surnamed Qiu were notoriously domineering in the Northern Frontier, and their elders were extremely protective of their own. But today…
This was Li Zhijing’s first time seeing the Qiu Clan acting so subservient. The person in front of them was the legendary Ancestor of the Qiu Clan, Qiu Naihe!
However, with her own Ancestor right beside her, and remembering how she had been suddenly attacked and nearly killed while being hunted down, Li Zhijing hardened her scalp, gritted her teeth, and cursed,
“Your Qiu Xunfa tried to silence me and kill me while I was tracking a dragon demon! Tell him to come out!”
“What?!!”
Qiu Naihe knew about Qiu Xunfa tracking the dragon, but he never expected Qiu Xunfa to have stirred up such a massive disaster.
Behind him, a Qiu Clan elder who seemed to have a good relationship with Qiu Xunfa said deeply,
“Impossible. Ancestor Xunfa has always been cautious. Before killing someone, he would definitely ask for their background.
If he knew the other party had such a supreme expert behind them, he absolutely wouldn’t have done it.”
“No… for the sake of a dragon, it is completely normal for Qiu Xunfa to kill to silence witnesses. Why make excuses for him? This Senior is reasonable.
Ancestor, it’s better to send a message to have Qiu Xunfa return, to avoid provoking such an old monster at the Half-Step Body Integration realm who is proficient in spatial laws.”
Another person was deathly pale, partly scared by the black mist figure outside, and partly angry.
“Ancestor, your child has seen that little girl in the Northguard City! It’s the unruly girl of the Li Clan, Li Zhijing!”
Someone called out, adding a few traces of complex emotion to the panic of the Qiu Clan members.
“The Li Clan? The Azure Cloud Li Clan? How could they possibly have such an old monster?”
“Brother, you cultivate in seclusion year-round, so your information is outdated. In Shadowfell Prefecture, the Li Clan’s name has already spread across the world. If it’s the Li Clan… sigh.”
“Please, Ancestor, recall Qiu Xunfa!”
Cold sweat dripped from the top of Qiu Naihe’s head.
The Azure Cloud Li Clan… He knew the Azure Cloud Li Clan better than anyone.
The events of Shadowfell Prefecture in the Western Frontier had already spread back one by one.
To avenge Li Tianyue, the Li Clan had lingered in the Western Frontier for fifty years—silent and unmoving in stillness, yet when they finally struck, they moved like a hidden immortal clan emerging from the shadows.
Now, everyone in the world said not to provoke the Li Clan. They were like a pack of wolves—wolves that hold grudges.
Even the people of the Wenren Immortal Clan had warned their descendants to be a bit more amiable when facing the people of the Li Clan outside.
Just half a month ago, Qiu Naihe had instructed his clansmen to absolutely not act recklessly when facing the Azure Cloud Li Clan’s demon-suppressing branch in the Northern Frontier.
Yet, as luck would have it, Qiu Xunfa committed such a disastrous blunder while pursuing the dragon.
“Daoist friend…” Qiu Naihe’s lips and teeth were pale.
In his eyes, the Li Clan Ancestor was already like a giant from antiquity; he could only pant for breath under the other party’s aura.
“I know absolutely nothing about the matter of Qiu Xunfa. My Qiu Clan knows absolutely nothing!
It was entirely that beast’s own selfish desires, it has nothing to do with my Qiu Clan!”
He could no longer care about his identity as an Ancestor; only sorrow remained.
There was also a rumor that the enemies of the Li Clan were invariably exterminated by the roots, their killings even more ruthless than those of demonic cultivators.
He feared his Qiu Clan… was doomed.
“…”
In the cloudy sky, Li Wei frowned as he looked at the Qiu Clan.
A sorrowful wind blew, and the sound of wailing and crying rang out. He felt like a natural disaster.
“Ancestor, they…” Li Zhijing stared in astonishment at the usually insufferably arrogant Qiu Clan, now looking so miserable.
“How are they acting like I’m the one who harmed their clansman?”
“Who am I supposed to ask?”
Li Wei’s eyelids twitched. He almost forgot he was here to hold them accountable.
Acting like this made it seem as if he was using his power to bully people, about to annihilate the Qiu Clan for no reason. However, Li Wei still frowned.
Having experienced too much, his divine soul probed the area to prevent any conspiracies from the Qiu Clan, but ultimately, he found absolutely nothing.
Thinking about it carefully, not everyone was like the Zhao Clan, Bi Shihu, and the Yun Clan.
“Every injustice has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. Send Qiu Xunfa to us. As for other matters, the children of my clan will naturally discuss them with you.”
Li Wei took a deep breath. This was the Grand Tutor’s territory, after all.
“This…”
Qiu Naihe showed a difficult expression, but seeing the formidable Li Clan Ancestor, he could only grit his teeth and say,
“This old man will carefully obey my Daoist friend’s command. However, Qiu Xunfa is tracking a dragon, and this old man cannot locate him. Qiu Xundao…”
“Hmm?” Li Wei raised an eyebrow.
“Qiu Xundao is the Second Commander of the Asura Army and Qiu Xunfa’s elder brother. This old man truly does not know what is best to do.”
Qiu Naihe lowered his head. Seeing that Li Wei hadn’t attacked, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
“That’s not my concern. You should also be glad I saved the descendant of my family.”
A cold glint shone in Li Wei’s eyes.
“I have come seeking justice. In the world, every cause has an effect, and the effect must be concluded.
Qiu Xunfa was nurtured by your Qiu Clan. If he is not delivered to us, I am not afraid of forming further karma with your Qiu Clan.”
“This…” Qiu Naihe’s expression changed again, but when he raised his head, the Li Clan Ancestor had already vanished without a trace.
At this time, Li Wei had already taken Li Zhijing back to the Northguard City.
Li Zhijing stared blankly at the Ancestor, still unable to figure out why everyone in the Qiu Clan treated their Li Clan Ancestor like a god.
But as soon as they arrived in the city, Li Zhijing’s little face twitched.
So did Li Wei’s.
On the city walls of the Northguard City, numerous cultivators were beating gongs and drums, drawing the attention of the commoners throughout the entire city.
Li Xinri, that playboy, gripped the city wall with both hands, his face full of ferocity.
“Go, call everyone in the city! Call all my father’s old subordinates!”
“Send messages! Go to the Imperial Capital! Go to the Azure Cloud Prefecture!”
“My daughter… my poor, ill-fated daughter!”
