Chapter 824: Chapter 796 The Story of the Old Li Family

"Fourth Grandfather, what exactly is going on? Tell me!" Li Chen’s eyes became serious.

"Some things, I think An Qin should have already told you, right?" Fourth Grandfather looked at Li Chen and began to speak.

"An Qin?" Li Chen was startled: "Fourth Grandfather, you know An Qin too?"

Seeing the expression on Li Chen’s face, Fourth Grandfather seemed somewhat surprised: "Didn’t she tell you anything?"

Li Chen shook his head: "She only told me that all my questions would be answered here."

A contemplative look appeared in Fourth Grandfather’s eyes, then he suddenly burst into laughter: "It seems that girl treats you quite well, she must not have told you in fear that you would get yourself into trouble."

"Get into trouble?" Li Chen looked puzzled: "What exactly is going on?"

"Let me tell you this, us four old fellows can be considered the stewards of the Old Li Family. However, it seems now that you are the only remaining descendant of the Old Li Family," Fourth Grandfather said, his gaze a little murky as he lowered his head.

"In the past, the Enchanted World of the Old Li Family was destroyed by human hands," Fourth Grandfather said with some remorse: "The location of that Enchanted World was on the mountain behind Panlong Village. But now, there should be nothing left there."

"Destroyed by human hands?" Li Chen’s face changed, and his voice grew heavy: "Who?"

"That, you don’t need to worry about." Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Fourth Grandfather laughed and waved his hands dismissively.

"Why? I have only had you four grandfathers since I was young, no parents, no other family, I don’t even know where I came from. How can I not seek revenge?" Li Chen said through gritted teeth.

"Then that’s a pity." Upon hearing his words, Fourth Grandfather only lightly chuckled: "Because, your enemy has long ceased to exist."

Li Chen was taken aback.

"The Old Li Family might have been in decline at that time. But fortunately, a genius emerged. After that group of people destroyed the Enchanted World of the Li Family, some members of the Li Family managed to escape, including that genius."

"Later on, that genius, though he remained in the Secular World, started his cultivation and revenge relying on the foundation he had laid in the Enchanted World. In ten years, he completed his vengeance, killing all those involved in the destruction of the Li Family’s Enchanted World."

As Fourth Grandfather spoke, he led Li Chen through the jungle.

"Here we are, that’s the place!" Seeing the small lake outside the thicket, Fourth Grandfather’s face displayed a smile: "We’ve arrived."

"Arrived?" Li Chen looked towards the small lake, where there was also an ancient Wooden House, which seemed to have many years under its belt.

"Hold on, Fourth Grandfather, you haven’t finished your story yet? What happened next? Who is that genius, and where do I come from?" Li Chen curiously asked.

"Later on, he had a child, whom he named... Li Chen," Fourth Grandfather said with a smile.

At that moment, Li Chen’s breathing quickened.

"Fourth Grandfather, you’re saying..."

"Indeed, he is your father," Fourth Grandfather said with a nod and a smile.

Li Chen took a deep breath, and it took him a long time to calm his emotions.

"But, my... father, where is he now? And my mother?" Li Chen asked urgently.

"About that... I actually don’t know either," Fourth Grandfather said somewhat helplessly as he shook his head: "Your father, he has completely surpassed the imaginations of us old fellows, and I don’t understand his intentions. However, after he entrusted you to us, he left. Along with your mother, she also left with him."

Fourth Grandfather had walked some distance before he realized that Li Chen was standing still, his head lowered as if deep in thought.

And the Seven-Colored Being, since Li Chen did not move, also stood motionless.

Fourth Grandfather seemed not at all surprised by the Seven-Colored Being, completely ignoring it as he slowly stepped beside Li Chen, patting him on the shoulder.

"What’s wrong?"

Li Chen was feeling incredibly complicated, so much so that even he didn’t know what to do.

After learning his true heritage, he didn’t feel as happy as he had imagined, but rather didn’t know how to cope.

It was as if the goals he had been struggling towards all this time had vanished all at once.

He felt lost, uncertain about what he should do now.

"Fourth Grandfather, I..." Li Chen opened his mouth but found himself at a loss for words.

"Child, I know you must be feeling terrible right now. But I want to tell you, there are no parents in this world that don’t love their child. Your father chose to leave, and there must be some compelling reasons," Fourth Grandfather said with a serious expression.

"Also, you can’t just continue to be dejected because of this. Because, you don’t have the luxury of time to lament," Fourth Grandfather said gravely.

"When your father was around, those petty people didn’t dare to do much, they could only behave meekly. But your father has been gone for twenty years now, with nobody knowing where he’s gone. Many believe he’s dead. So, these people’s minds have started to become more active."

"Us four old fellows, our strength is decent, but after all, we’re just four old men. And our enemies could be countless!"

Fourth Grandfather gazed at Li Chen, his expression solemn: "Back in the day, your father exacted fierce revenge, thus making quite a few enemies. But they dared not entertain any ideas because of your father’s formidable strength. But now, things are different."

"Whether you’re willing or not, you have to shoulder your father’s responsibilities, the responsibilities of the Li Family!" Fourth Grandfather’s voice lost its former kindness: "Your father avenged the Li Family, but now he’s gone, and it’s up to you to carry on the task."

"What is left to do?" Li Chen raised his head, somewhat dazed, his eyes beginning to redden unknowingly.

"Reviving the Old Li Family!" Fourth Grandfather said decisively: "Now we, the old fellows, have found a new location for the Old Li Family. What remains to be seen is whether you can protect it or not!"

Hearing this, Li Chen fell silent.

He finally understood what he needed to do.

"Fourth Grandfather, may I ask you one more question?" After a while, Li Chen slowly spoke.

"Speak."

Li Chen looked hesitant: "I want to know... what is my father’s name?"

"Li Changcun!"
