Chapter 337: Heavenly Pure Essence (I)
The old cultivator was an unrefined Qi Cultivator at the fifth heavenly layer, but his cultivation had been sealed by An Zheyan. Blood covered his head and face, his beard and hair disheveled as he kneeled limply at the bottom of the stairs.
Dou Yi stood nearby, supporting him to keep him upright while reminding the man, "Rogue cultivator! You're in the presence of the Li Family's Young Master!"
The old cultivator remained silent, kneeling on his knees in a daze. Dou Yi raised his voice and called out to the old man again. Observing the furrowed brow of Li Yuanping, who remained seated, Dou Yi turned and called out to another person.
"Xu Gongming!"
Xu Gongming hurried forward, seizing the old cultivator by his collar and placing his other hand on the old man's back. After adjusting the old man's true essence, Gongming performed a series of hand seals and applied two Tranquil Mind spells. It was only then did the rogue cultivator stirred from his stupor, as if awakening from a dream.
"Gah!"
The old man coughed up two mouthfuls of blood, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the Li Family members. He whimpered, covering his face. Dou Yi moved to speak but was silenced by Li Yuanping's gesture, allowing the old man to sob.
Li Yuanping continued reading the letters on his table in silence as the guests from various families gathered around to observe the rogue cultivator. After a while, the old cultivator's sobbing subsided, and he opened his mouth to speak.
"Rogue cultivator Bi Huaxuan greets Young Master…" he said mournfully.
