Chapter 1207: What Was Left Behind (I)
Li Hao waited for a while, but did not detect the presence of any living beings inside the Tranquil Star ruins. He frowned and said after a long pause, “Members of the Lis may have once visited this place!”
“Surely not!” exclaimed Capsize Sea. “This looks to have been built before the world changed. Zheng Hongyuan should’ve entered it after the great changes and never left. Powerhouses were unable to walk through the world outside when everything was shifting. How could those of the Li family visit?”
Unless... they’d done so after the first awakening. Maybe their replicas had been able to walk out of the ruins twenty-one years ago. Faces twitched when thoughts traveled here.
What did that indicate?
It meant that those of the Li family freely roamed the world after the first awakening. Was it Li Daoheng?
Li Hao also pondered the implications with a deep frown. The snake king had said that the person who gave it pointers possessed sword intent. There were also marks inflicted by sword intent in the Tranquil Star ruins. That meant to say that there were indeed Li members outside the seal traveling through the world.
The sword intent might not have come from the Lis, but Li Hao felt that there shouldn’t be any other sword dao powerhouses in the world apart from his family. In particular, Li Daoheng bore the brunt of suspicion.
He was the only one in the family known thus far who’d betrayed New Martial. He’d also persuaded many to turn traitor with him. But why was there no trace of him in the world?
There were hints to each of the main cities—even Zheng Hongyuan had appeared. Why not Li Daoheng?
Various ideas ran through Li Hao’s mind. Why had this mysterious person come to the fake Tranquil Star ruins? It looked like there was indeed something important that’d been left here.
Li Hao looked at the throne. Perhaps some answers would be forthcoming if he sat down in it.
