Chapter 317: Chapter 317 Borrowing a knife to kill someone

“So what if it’s the eight major sects of Xuan Country? If they anger me, I will kill them all the same!”

Li Xiaoyao’s face showed a cold gleam as he declared with unbridled killing intent.

“You insolent fool!” Li Zhong laughed angrily and said, “Do you even comprehend the extent of the Li Family’s power?”

Fang Han said, “Sect Leader Jiang, it’s not that I don’t respect you, but your elder is truly arrogant. To be so disrespectful to Mr. Li, I advise you not to intervene and invite trouble.”

Jiang Lichun’s eyebrows knitted tightly. The Li Family of Xuan Country was indeed powerful, more so than he had expected.

Yet, for Jiang Lichun, to do nothing about Li Xiaoyao was something he couldn’t bring himself to do.

“Sect Leader Fang, your words are misguided. Li Xiaoyao is an honorary elder of our Xuan Sect. How could we neglect him?” Jiang Lichun stood by Li Xiaoyao’s side, patted his shoulder, and said, “I’ve told you before, you’re one of us at Xuan Sect. Whoever insults you, insults my sect. Though the Li Family is large, my Xuan Sect is not a group of cowards who fear trouble!”

Li Xiaoyao was quite surprised; he truly hadn’t expected old man Jiang to still choose to stand with him under such circumstances.

Being ranked among the top in the whole Xuan Country indicated the immense strength of the Li Family, which the Xuan Sect couldn’t compare with. Yet, even with that, Jiang Lichun still chose to support him.

To say it wasn’t moving would be a lie; fair-weather friends are easy to find, but a friend in need is a friend indeed.

Li Zhong looked up, his killing intent filling the air as he said, “Are you implying that you want to be enemies with the Li Family?”

“Ha ha.” Jiang Lichun gave a dry laugh, with a feigned smile he flicked his horsetail whisk, and the aura of a Third Rank Spirit Cultivation Realm cultivator burst out instantly, turning the surrounding fallen leaves and dry branches to dust.

Feeling this terrifying aura, Li Zhong’s face changed, and he exclaimed, “You dare lay a hand on me?”

“Mr. Li wishes to kill an elder of my Xuan Sect, do you expect me to sit still and await death, simply accepting my fate?” Jiang Lichun’s eyes flashed with deadly seriousness as he whispered to Li Xiaoyao, “Kill them!”

The Li Family of Xuan Country was indeed powerful, and compared with it, the Xuan Sect might only count as a third-rate small sect, but Li Zhong was merely a cultivator at the ninth layer of the Condensation Realm, a level of cultivation that Jiang Lichun had yet to even consider a threat.

As long as today’s affair didn’t leak out, the Li Family would never know.

And the simplest way to keep someone silent is to kill them.

Li Xiaoyao was inwardly shocked; the old guy seemed amiable on regular days, yet he was quite ruthless. However, this temperament suited Li Xiaoyao very well.

Seeing this unfold, Fang Han was greatly alarmed and fearful.

Although his cultivation was not weak, he still lacked experience compared to Jiang Lichun. If Jiang Lichun truly intended to kill, none of them would survive this day.

“Sect Leader Jiang!” Fang Han stepped forward and shouted, “Today’s matter is just a petty squabble among the younger generation. Why escalate it to the level of sect conflict? In my opinion, we should let bygones be bygones. What do you think?”

“Let bygones be bygones?” Jiang Lichun laughed coldly, his gaze turning towards the frightened Li Zhong as he said coldly, “I’m afraid Mr. Li isn’t willing to let us off the hook.”

“You exaggerate, Sect Leader Jiang. Mr. Li is magnanimous, and Elder Li’s earlier act was an unintentional mistake. Such a trifle surely doesn’t warrant our relationship becoming so strained,” Fang Han managed a smile, looking towards Li Zhong, “Isn’t that right, Mr. Li?”

When under someone else’s roof, one has no choice but to bow their head, especially at a life-threatening moment. Li Zhong wasn’t foolish enough to court death.

“Sect Leader Fang is correct. I have no grudge against the Xuan Sect, so there’s no question of holding a grudge,” said Li Zhong, his smile forced, even as he resolved to contact his family and send people to eradicate the Xuan Sect once he left.

Li Xiaoyao remained silent, but he knew that under these circumstances, Jiang Lichun would definitely not let them off.

The murderous intent he had just exhibited was all too clear. To let them go now would be to plant a time bomb for himself.

However, Jiang Lichun’s response was beyond his expectations.

“I also think this is a misunderstanding,” Jiang Lichun grinned, revealing two rows of big yellow teeth.

Li Xiaoyao looked at him in surprise. Jiang Lichun covertly gave him a look, and Li Xiaoyao immediately understood that the old man definitely wouldn’t let them off as easily as he claimed.

Though the conflict seemed to be resolved, Li Zhong couldn’t wait to leave this place.

Fang Han had the same thought, and when their eyes met, Fang Han stood up and said, “Let’s head to that ancient tomb.”

Hearing that they were going to the ancient tomb, everyone was startled, then looked at them with a strange glint in their eyes.

Poor Fang Han and his companions were yet unaware of what that glint meant, and they were still discussing in low voices: “Let’s take advantage of the night to go. I’ll be in charge of killing the demon beasts, and you guys will take the opportunity to break the tomb’s formation.”

Li Zhong watched Jiang Lichun warily. Jiang Lichun was pretending to doze, as if he hadn’t heard a thing.

Once Fang Han and his group had left, Li Xiaoyao walked over and asked, “Why not kill them?”

Jiang Lichun opened his eyes, took out his tobacco pipe, lit it, and began to take loud puffs while his gaze followed the direction the group had gone. He laughed and said, “They’ll die sooner or later, why bother doing it ourselves?”

Li Xiaoyao suddenly realized: the old man planned to use Zhu Jiuyin’s hand.

“Cunning and ruthless, I like it,” Li Xiaoyao grinned, his smile complementing Jiang Lichun’s cold one. The cultivators nearby couldn’t help but shiver at the sight of their smiles.

“However, to ensure Zhu Jiuyin gets a midnight snack, we still need to do something,” said Jiang Lichun as he stood up.

…

Fang Han led the way, his gaze vigilant as he probed the darkness, though his heart wasn’t overly concerned.

According to Lin Changfu, the demon beast’s cultivation level was at about the Abstinence Realm, which posed no threat to him.

“Xuan Sect, Jiang Lichun, I must kill him!” Li Zhong, walking to one side, hissed through clenched teeth.

Fang Han said softly, “Mr. Li, rest assured, once we obtain the treasures within the ancient tomb, we’ll immediately go back and prepare to wipe out the Xuan Sect in one fell swoop.”

“Hmph, and that kid, how dare he talk to me like that! I’m going to tie him up and torture him little by little, to let him know what it means to beg for death!” Li Zhong’s chest was filled with an unrelenting murderous intent. When a demon beast suddenly appeared in front of them, killing intent flashed in Li Zhong’s eyes as he stepped forward and threw a punch at the beast’s skull.

“Bang!”

The demon beast was killed instantly, collapsing to the ground motionless.

Wiping the blood from his fist, Li Zhong exhaled deeply, feeling a refreshing sense of relief.

“Mr. Li’s move was swift and decisive. Surely it must be a special technique of the Li Family?” Lin Changfu seized the chance to brown-nose.

Li Zhong glanced at him sidelong and said indifferently, “It’s the most ordinary move.”

“Uh…” Lin Changfu’s face twisted with embarrassment.

“Ahem.” Fang Han cleared his throat and said, “The ancient tomb is just ahead; let’s pick up the pace.”

Just then, they suddenly felt the ground beneath them tremble. A huge silhouette slowly rose from behind the ancient tomb, and faces colored with fear emerged among them.
