Chapter 1554 - 1553: Farewell, Li Li
"The position of Clan Leader holds no interest for me."
"Leave it to those other guys in the family to fight over it."
"What I seek is unmatched power."
"Like Seeking Defeat Ancestor, who, despite having the qualification to become Emperor of the Dugu Dynasty."
"Chose not to take it, instead focusing on constantly enhancing his own strength!!!"
"And even though Seeking Defeat Ancestor was not the master of the Dugu Lineage or the Emperor of the Dugu Dynasty."
"He held more power and had a higher status than the Emperor of Dugu at that time!!!"
"So, as long as you possess enough strength."
"Status, identity, power—all these."
"Will belong to you even if you don't seek them!!!"
Dugu Yi said coldly.
"Young Master is right."
"Young Master sees things very clearly!!!"
"No wonder he can cultivate the swordsmanship of the Dugu Ancestor!!!"
Uncle Gu remarked.
"However, the Dugu Nine Swords are not complete."
"I must find the complete Dugu Nine Swords."
"Only then can I fully cultivate them successfully!!!"
Immediately, Dugu Yi said coldly.
"Incomplete?"
"Doesn't the family have a complete set of Dugu Nine Swords?"
Uncle Gu asked in surprise.
"No, Seeking Defeat Ancestor never placed the complete Dugu Nine Swords in the Dugu Royal Family."
Dugu Yi said solemnly.
"In this vast world, and over tens of thousands of years have passed."
"Where are we supposed to find the complete Dugu Nine Swords?"
Uncle Gu furrowed his brows and said with a heavy face.
"It's said that Dugu Seeking Defeat Ancestor secluded himself for cultivation in a cave for a long time."
"And it is very likely that the Dugu Nine Swords were left there."
Dugu Yi said.
"But where is that cave?"
"How can we find it?"
Uncle Gu asked in confusion.
"We can only ask it!!!"
Dugu Yi said.
"What?"
"This... this is too dangerous."
"Since the end of the Ancient Era, the Dugu Royal Family has decreed that no one should step foot in that place or disturb that being."
"Anyone who violates this will be expelled from the Dugu Lineage."
"Young Master, you can't!!!"
Uncle Gu's expression changed as he looked at Dugu Yi and quickly spoke.
"No one can stop me."
"Once I get the complete Dugu Nine Swords."
"Being expelled from the Dugu Royal Family means nothing to me."
Dugu Yi said with a cold laugh.
"Very well, I will follow the Young Master's orders."
Uncle Gu nodded.
Soon, the two of them disappeared from there.
Chu Feng and his group also left that valley, preparing to return to the Mad Dragon Guard Base.
However, they hadn't gone far when they heard the sounds of intense battle in the distance.
"Something's happening, let's check it out!"
Chu Feng's gaze sharpened, and he rushed toward the distant commotion.
At that moment, by a stream,
a group of people was surrounding and attacking a female drenched in blood, exuding a murderous aura.
There were already more than a dozen corpses lying by the stream.
The clear water had been stained red with blood.
Those attacking the woman were all powerful warriors at or above the Seventh Level Nascent Soul Realm.
Among them, there were dozens of warriors from the First Tribulation Human Immortal Realm to the Fifth Tribulation Human Immortal Realm, making it a formidable lineup.
The three leaders were all masters of the Seventh Tribulation Human Immortal Realm.
They ferociously attacked the woman.
And this blood-soaked woman had reached the Third Tribulation Human Immortal Realm in terms of power,
her body radiating a blistering aura.
She wielded a long whip blazing with fire, containing terrifying power that she swung continuously.
Even the void was torn apart by her whip.
This woman's combat prowess was extraordinary,
especially since her body contained a dreadful Bloodline Power,
which constantly enhanced her fighting strength.
But she was covered in wounds right now, gasping for breath,
looking completely exhausted.
Clearly, she had been fighting for a long time and was barely holding on.
And this woman wielding the whip was none other than Li Li,
the Miss of the Li Clan, one of the destroyed Nine Great Royal Families.
Bang bang bang!!!
As Li Li swept her whip,
the heads of three First Tribulation Immortal Realm warriors exploded right there.
Slash!!!
Just then, a crimson sword light suddenly appeared.
Another woman appeared suddenly,
and as Li Li swung her whip, this new arrival stabbed a sword directly into her back.
A splash of blood erupted from Li Li's back.
Despite the pain, Li Li gritted her teeth and swung her whip back.
At once, the sword-wielding woman retreated.
Splatter!!!
Li Li's body shook, spitting a mouthful of blood, and she half-knelt on the ground.
Her back wound oozed fresh blood due to her exertion, continuously flowing out.
Excessive blood loss left Li Li on the verge of fainting.
But she couldn't fall, because if she did,
she wouldn't be able to avenge her family!!!
At this moment, Li Li stared intently at the woman who stabbed her.
Her eyes were filled with endless rage and murderous intent.
This woman was her half-sister, Li Yan.
Li Li had always seen her as her closest kin and trusted her deeply.
However, everything changed with the destruction of the Li Clan.
This sister had personally deactivated the Li Clan's protective array,
and even poisoned the clan's food with a colorless and tasteless toxin, undetectable even by Earth Immortal Realm experts.
Leading to the overnight annihilation of the vast Li Clan.
Almost all of the Li Clan were slaughtered without any power to resist.
That's when Li Li realized,
how much her sister had always hated her,
before this, she had been crippled to the point of losing her four limbs and having her Dantian shattered,
the mastermind behind it was her sister Li Yan.
While she thought highly of Li Yan, the latter was intent on killing her,
even conspiring with outsiders to destroy the entire Li Clan.
That night was the most terrifying night of Li Li's life.
She watched the members of the Li Clan fall one by one into a pool of blood with her own eyes.
Her father and elders of the Li Clan sacrificed heroically to let her escape.
Since that night, Li Li has been hunted relentlessly by these people, up until now.
During this process,
she doesn't know how many times she's been injured, nor how many people she's killed.
Overall, Li Li has endured countless hardships, facing death time and again to survive until now!
"Li Li, you are quite impressive."
"Worthy of being a descendant of Jiuli Ancestor, possessing the Jiuli Bloodline."
"To think that you could last this long."
Li Yan looked at Li Li, her eyes filled with deep jealousy.
"Li Yan, I always considered you my closest kin."
"But you treated the Li Clan like this, treated me like this."
"Is your heart made of stone?"
Li Li looked at Li Yan and said coldly.
"Ha, considered me your closest kin?"
"Was it just because I was born to a concubine and couldn't possibly threaten you?"
Li Yan said disdainfully.
