Chapter 343

“What a splendid Wolong Mountain!” A voice suddenly resonated, accompanied by the appearance of a figure taking a step forward.

Li Su looked at the figure, who appeared remarkably old, even somewhat hunched. Yet, the aura emanating from him was exceptionally powerful. Perhaps Li Su had seen the leader of the Returning Origin Sect, a powerful man with a declining nature. Although the old man in front of him gave Li Su a feeling of strength, he noticed a hint of weakness in his charm.

Is this also a strong man with five debilitates in heaven and man? Li Su wonders. “Dongfang Ancestor!” In the hidden expanse of the sky, Lord Feng Tian’s gaze narrowed. She recognized the figure for who he was—the ancestor of the Eastern Clan! He had come in person. Although Lord Feng Tian didn’t reveal herself, she became alert. “Are you Li Su?”

The gaze of the Dongfang Ancestor turned towards Li Su as he spoke, “Not bad. May I inquire about your identity?” Although Li Su did not know the other’s identity, he could sense the hidden coldness in the gaze.

“You’ve captured my son, and yet you still don’t know who I am?” said the Eastern Ancestor. As his words fell, Li Su understood.

This was the patriarch of the Eastern family. Surprisingly, he came to the Peak of Hopeful Immortality. Moreover, the attitude of the Eastern Ancestor was somewhat peculiar. It didn’t seem excessively bitter or vengeful. There was even a hint of affability. However, Li Su was not easily deceived. If the Eastern Ancestor were truly affable, how could the sect leader have encountered such adversity?

“How could he tolerate that woman’s wanton actions like this?” “Patriarch!” “Patriarch, you’ve finally come out. The things that woman has done over the years have almost torn the entire family apart.” At this moment, within the Flying Immortal Sect, some members of the Eastern family flew out. Even the sect leader’s aunt was among them.

The Eastern Ancestor looked at the family members who had separated from the clan and sighed. “I’ve been in seclusion for too long, and I’ve just learned about this. You’ve all endured hardships.” His words moved the great-uncle of the sect leader profoundly.

However, the sect leader’s aunt remained at a distance and did not approach. Besides her, some other family members also kept their distance.

“Li Su, I heard that you have a good relationship with Xiao Xue. How about this? As the patriarch of the family, I’ll decide to give Xiao Xue to you in marriage. From now on, you’ll be the son-in-law of our Dongfang family and a member of our Eastern family. What do you think?” The Eastern Ancestor looked kindly at Li Su.

“As for Dongfang Ping, you can handle him however you like. Just for my sake, spare his life.” The Eastern Ancestor added.

“He was indeed after Li Su, that old fox!” muttered Lord Feng Tian in the shadows.

She discerned the Eastern Ancestor’s intentions — he intended to use Dongfang Xue to draw Li Su into the Eastern family. Moreover, to achieve this goal, the Dongfang Ancestor had abandoned his son. She was worried that Li Su might be deceived, especially since she had noticed the deep emotional connection between Li Su and Dongfang Xue.

Lord Feng Tian was about to reveal himself when the Eastern Ancestor spoke again, “So, Lord Feng Tian is also here. It’s been thousands of years since we last met. Since our paths have crossed, why not come out and meet face-to-face?”

Lord Feng Tian, aware that the Eastern Ancestor had detected him, wasn’t surprised. As fellow powerful beings with the Five Decays of Heaven and Human, and not too far apart, sensing each other was quite normal.

She revealed herself and said, “Eastern Ancestor, that woman harbors an intense hatred for both Li Su and Dongfang Xue. Do you think they can live together peacefully?”

“It’s just a minor conflict. There’s nothing that can’t be resolved,” replied the Eastern Ancestor.

“Eastern Ancestor, may I ask, who is Dongfang Xue?” At this moment, Li Su’s voice rang out. Who was Dongfang Xue?

She couldn’t help but be stunned. Wasn’t Li Su deliberately asking a question he already knew the answer to? In the distance, the sect leader’s aunt had a smile on her face. Li Su’s rhetorical question not only left Lord Feng Tian dumbfounded but also left the Eastern Ancestor perplexed. It was quite confusing. What did Li Su mean by this?

“Li Su, Dongfang Xue is your master, the sect leader of the Flying Immortal Sect,” explained the Eastern Ancestor. Li Su shook his head and said, “My master is not called Dongfang Xue. From several hundred years ago, she has been known as Shangguan Xue, with no connection to the Eastern family.” This statement instantly lit up the eyes of Lord Feng Tian. She understood Li Su’s meaning.

The Eastern Ancestor’s expression darkened. He was not foolish, he naturally understood Li Su’s implication. “Eastern Ancestor, please leave. I have other matters to attend to and cannot accompany you further. As for your son, we did spare his life,” said Li Su. The sect leader’s aunt had already brought the wounded Gu Ping up. Gu Ping, indeed, had only one life left and couldn’t even speak anymore.

Li Su tossed Gu Ping toward the Eastern Ancestor. Since the sect leader’s aunt had spared his life, Li Su saw no need to kill him. The Eastern Ancestor’s expression turned completely cold. He hadn’t expected Li Su to refuse so decisively. If the Lord Feng Tian weren’t present, the Eastern Ancestor might have erupted in anger at this moment.

“Do you all want to leave the family too?” He looked at the sect leader’s aunt and some other family members. “Patriarch, our minds are made up,” said one of the sect leader’s great uncles. He had already realized that this time, that woman wouldn’t face much punishment. Truly making the patriarch punish that woman seemed more challenging than reaching the sky.

Today’s patriarch was not the same as before. “Patriarch, our minds are made up!” Other family members also spoke up. Only the other great-uncle of the sect leader and a few others were still hesitant. However, they soon made their decisions. “Patriarch, I won’t go back either,” said the hesitant great-uncle. “Good, all of you, very well,” replied the Dongfang Ancestor.

The aura of the Dongfang Ancestor had become somewhat unstable. This allowed Li Su to confirm that he was currently undergoing one of the Five Decays of Heaven and Human. He glanced at Li Su, snorted lightly, lifted the completely disabled Gu Ping, and then left the area.

“Li Su, the Dongfang Ancestor, is quite arrogant, and the impact of the Five Decays of the Heaven and Human on him is significant. By refusing him this time, he might be even more lenient towards that woman,” said Lord Feng Tian after the Eastern Ancestor left. “No matter,” Li Su replied, unconcerned. Even if he were to marry the sect leader, he wouldn’t join the Eastern family. After all, the sect leader had already changed her surname.

The efficiency of the Li family was remarkably high. Many cultivators volunteered to help, assisting with the transportation of materials and other tasks. The construction of the immortal abode progressed swiftly and smoothly.

On the day the immortal abode took shape, representatives from several distant sacred sects arrived almost simultaneously. These sects, having heard about Li Su’s recent events, had dispatched envoys to make contact with him.
