How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!
Chapter 437: 437 Ancestor Hall Takes the Blame

Chapter 437: Chapter 437 Ancestor Hall Takes the Blame

“What?” Ye Gui was shocked all over.

“The Li Tian Ancestral Hall! That bitch Li Qing!” Er Wutian’s voice was even more piercing: “That bitch has colluded with the Human Clan, set up a Poison Array, and killed all the Array Masters…”

“Nonsense!” a voice interjected, accompanied by four human figures, simultaneously landing before him, the four representatives of the Li Tian Ancestral Hall: “How could our Master Li possibly do such a thing?”

“Nonsense? See for yourselves!” Er Wutian raised his hand, revealing an Array Plate in his palm.

The array plate projected a horrific scene where inside a grand array, there lay a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, the brilliance of the Array Path everywhere, and Li Qing stood on a high platform, laughing heartily: “I might as well reveal today, that the ancestors of our Li Tian Clan’s Ancestral Hall are the Human Clan! You in the Bridge Realm, vainly trying to break the seal and bring forth your so-called ancestors across the worlds, this would inflict unbearable harm on the Human Clan. On the orders of the Hall Master, according to the Elder Council’s decision, we’ve endured in silence for a hundred years just for today! Expending your clans’ resources in the Abyssal, wiping out your Array Masters in one fell swoop, is the only way to completely terminate the Otherworld’s breaking-seal thought…”

The projection of the Array Path was so cruel.

Li Qing’s laughter was so ironic.

The crowd was first petrified, then exploded…

“The Li Tian Ancestral Hall! They’re mixed between the Li Clan and Human Clan themselves!”

“Exactly, recognizing the Human Clan as ancestors, and only these wretches!”

“I’ve always said that this lowly race with Human Clan blood can’t be trusted!”

“Dare to sabotage the millennia plan of our Bridge Realm Bai Races, this kind of race must not be allowed to survive in the Bridge Realm for even half a day…”

“Kill them!”

“Eliminate the threat…”

Hoo!

Two figures shot through the air, they were Li Feiyang and Li Xueyi. The siblings landed on either side of Er Wutian: “Our brother… how is he?”

Li Feiyang’s eyes were bloodshot, his expression extremely agitated.

Er Wutian let out a bitter laugh: “Everyone but myself has been killed, everyone! Naturally including your brother!”

“Ah…” Li Feiyang let out a long howl, filled with sorrow and anger, echoing through the Abyss.

Li Xueyi trembled all over, her body swaying unsteadily.

With a huff, the person in the middle of the four representatives of the Li Tian Ancestral Hall suddenly reached out sharply to grab the Array Plate: “I absolutely don’t believe…”

Er Wutian swiftly withdrew his hand, trying to reclaim the Array Plate first.

The hand of that Li Tian representative suddenly extended, with a thundering shock, striking Er Wutian’s chest.

This strike didn’t seem particularly heavy, but Er Wutian was directly sent flying, plummeting into the Abyss below, accompanied by a shrill scream.

“Courting death!” Er Dongsheng leapt up and shot straight to the high platform.

He stretched out his hand, swish!

The throat of the person snatching the Array Plate was pierced through.

Pierced by Er Dongsheng’s claws.

Li Feiyang suddenly turned back, his palm abruptly tripling in size, slamming towards the remaining three representatives of the Li Tian Ancestral Hall…

His expression was so sorrowful and angry, his strike was with all his might!

Boom!

One representative was instantly killed, the remaining two were shaken off the high platform.

“Kill them! Kill…”

In the crowd, countless people soared up!

In moments, chaos erupted in the scene…

Li Qing, this Array Master of the Li Tian Ancestral Hall, had massacred more than a hundred Array Masters, all of whom were the hearts’ flesh of various clans, who wouldn’t feel heartbroken?

At this moment, with Li Qing swaggering inside the array and no way to kill her directly, then annihilate the entire Li Tian Ancestral Hall lineage present.

At this moment, there were no so-called distinctions of factions.

The Li Tian Ancestral Hall had become the public enemy of the Bridge Realm.

On the high platform, there were originally over a hundred people from the Li Tian Ancestral Hall, but in a moment, they were slaughtered clean like chopping vegetables, even the several clans that had good relations with the Ancestral Hall in the past couldn’t intervene.

Because the Li Tian Ancestral Hall had secret dealings with the Human Clan, openly standing on the opposing side of the Bridge Realm, who dared get involved in this mess?

Especially since Li Qing, when killing Array Masters, didn’t care about so-called ally sentiments either. For example, the Long Ear Clan, ever since falling out with the Li Clan, the Li Tian Ancestral Hall had offered them olive branches, but external goodwill didn’t prevent Li Qing from slaughtering in the array. Then, did anyone need to consider friendship?

In a moment, all those from the Li Tian Ancestral Hall were cleared.

Li Feiyang cried out to the heavens: “The Li Tian Ancestral Hall cannot coexist in the same realm with all clans of the Bridge Realm, they must be exterminated!”

“Exterminate them!” someone echoed!

“Exterminate them!” the echoes gradually increased!

“Exterminate them…” it quickly became the mainstream voice.

With a whoosh, several figures leapt up from below the Abyss, belonging to the Long Ear Clan. They bowed to Er Dongsheng: “The seventh elder’s body was not found, it must have fallen into the Bottomless Abyss!”

Er Dongsheng spewed out a mouthful of anger: “Destroy the Li Tian Ancestral Hall, kill them all!”

Ye Gui slowly rose: “The Li Tian Ancestral Hall dares to oppose the Bridge Realm Bai Races, they’re courting their own destruction! I will now contact the leaders of the major clans to purge this traitor from the Bridge Realm!”

Nobody expected…

It was all just a stratagem.

The implementer of the stratagem used two inconceivable tricks.

First move: Disguise Technique!

For the first time, Lin Xiaosu disguised himself as an Earth Core Strange Race member: the Seventh Elder of the Long Ear Clan, Er Wutian. His True Qi Disguise Technique had already become comparable to the Blue Demon’s Transformation Technique, even elongating and sharpening his ears through True Qi.

The second move: Modern technology!

Everyone thought they were seeing a projection from the Array Path.

In reality, it wasn’t; the Array Plate hadn’t been activated. What was activated was a piece of high-tech eyewear: the Dragon Eye.

Inside the Dragon Eye, the image synthesis requires no internet; it’s handled by an internal microchip. Lin Xiaosu created a projection, said a few words, and instantly skewed the narrative.

No one doubted his words were false, simply because the situation in the Li Tian Ancestral Hall was too unique.

In the Li Tian Ancestral Hall, the Li Tian Clan is the mainstream.

How did the Li Tian Clan come to be?

It originated from the hybrid bloodline of the Li Clan and the Human Clan.

Claiming the Li Clan as their ancestor is justified.

Claiming the Human Clan as their ancestor is also justified.

Considering the irreconcilable relationship between the Li Tian Ancestral Hall and the current Bridge Realm Li Clan, they clearly don’t regard the Li Clan as their ancestor.

So the answer seems quite clear…

Their hall’s “ancestor” refers to the Human Clan!

That is the first point.

The second is, the Li Tian Clan is the only group capable of interdimensional travel.

They are more likely to ally with the Human Clan than to be enemies!

Based on this, a strategy to trap and kill all the Array Masters from various clans in the Bridge Realm and delay the breaking of the seal is entirely logical for them.

What no one expected was that the instigator, Lin Xiaosu, after being “knocked into the Abyss,” twisted and stealthily adhered to the rock wall. The moment he stuck to it, his clothes fell into the Bottomless Abyss.

His appearance changed.

The next moment, he emerged from the Abyssal depths.

The moment he emerged, his gaze was drawn to the high platform.

The anger and desolation of Li Feiyang seemed palpable; this was genuine sorrow sparked by treating him like a friend.

However, Li Xueyi surprised him. She stood at the edge of the high platform, her expression dazed.

No impulse, no heart-wrenching grief.

Well, the journey underground ends here. Before leaving, seeing that she wasn’t too heartbroken could also be considered a decent outcome…

Yet, why did he feel a faint sense of loss inside?

This little lass, swore just days ago, almost vowing eternal loyalty, and today upon hearing of his death, she’s not reckless? Damn! Does our friendship not measure up to your brother’s?

Upon exiting the Abyssal depths, he found himself outside an ancient city.

Lin Xiaosu disguised himself as an ordinary Li Tian Clan member and boarded a boat filled with Li Tian Clan people, mostly fleeing for their lives. The winds on the Abyssal side had shifted, with countless clans pointing their spears at the Li Tian Ancestral Hall. These Li Tian Clan members could not prove whether they were of the “Original System” Li Tian of the Li Clan or the “Magic System” Li Tian of the Li Tian Ancestral Hall. Fearing senseless disaster, retreat was the sensible choice.

Riding a turtle boat for hundreds of miles, the temperature began to rise again.

Lin Xiaosu changed boats at the front dock, this time heading for Flame City—the city he saw upon entering!

The underground tumult stirred; he needed to let the storm settle…

Before departure, he gathered news one last time.

He entered Flame City, stepped into a tavern.

The tavern was abuzz, entirely consumed by this event.

“Did everyone hear? Something big happened over at the Abyss; all the Array Masters are dead!”

“I heard! I heard it’s that dog Li Qing from the Li Tian Ancestral Hall, recklessly arrogant, openly crossing the shared line of the Bridge Realm Bai Races.”

“It’s not just that scoundrel alone. She openly declared that this extreme strategy was devised by the Hall Master and collectively discussed by the Elder Council. The ‘ancestor’ of the Li Tian Ancestral Hall isn’t the Li Tian Clan; it refers to the Human Clan…”

“Living in the Bridge Realm, but tethered to the outside world, acknowledging a thief as ancestor, causing havoc in the Bridge Realm—can the Bridge Realm Bai Races allow that?” Someone slammed the table.

“Of course not! The Bridge Realm Bai Races have already united, vowing to destroy the Ancestral Hall!”

“Indeed they should! It’s long overdue…”

The tavern was filled with passionate debates.

The unanimous opinion was that the Li Tian Ancestral Hall crossed the shared line and needed to be destroyed!

The Human Clan and Earth Clan were never meant to coexist under the same sky; their relationship was an irreconcilable conflict!

The Bridge Realm’s roots should lie on the other side of the seal, definitely not on the Human Clan’s side.

Any fool who muddles this clear-cut issue deserves to be eradicated.

Some analyzed that the reason behind the collective desire to destroy the Ancestral Hall was not only its current actions but also the fact that over the past three hundred years, the Ancestral Hall had amassed an enormous trove of rare treasures that all clans covet…

In the past, a single clan dared not entertain thoughts of annihilation and treasure plunder, but now with strength in numbers and a proper banner, the consolidation of clan strength allows for the possibility of extermination and plunder.

Listening to these discussions, the corners of Lin Xiaosu’s mouth curled into a smile. He pulled out a hundred-tael silver note and tossed it to the waiter, “Bring me some food and drink, and prepare a guest room for me.”

After enjoying one last Earth Core delicacy, Lin Xiaosu followed the waiter to a top-floor room.

After a night’s rest to regain his strength, it’s likely another tough battle awaits tomorrow.

He sneaked into this world, but leaving won’t be so easy!

As long as the Ancestor Temple stands, it will never allow him to leave with ease; this forebodes the tough battle expected tomorrow…
