Chapter 76:

A lot of big things happened in Wu Yang recently.

The Devil Sect’s Sheng Zi Li Ran had returned.

This was a huge piece of news.

The first thing he did after coming back was to cripple Li Sheng's cultivation.

This caused all of the chosen ones to tremble in fear!

Naturally, the rumors of the annulment of the engagement naturally broke down.

The other important thing was that Xiao Qingge's cultivation had recovered.

The Xiao Clan's fallen genius, Fairy Qing who had fallen into the mortal realm, has re-embarked onto the path of immortality.

According to a reliable information source, this was also Li Ran's work.

It was him who used an exceptional immortal material, immediately restoring her talent.

After all, this was something that even the Divine Dao Palace was helpless with, and it was actually done by him alone.

Li Ran's reputation was unparalleled in Wu Yang City!

—

Li Family's residence.

The faces of all the elders and disciples were grave as if something huge had happened.

It wasn't about the wind and rain in the outside world, but about the internal affairs of the Li family.

They had to ring the ancestor bell.

The bell was the only way to get the ancestor out of seclusion.

Only when the family was dead, or when a major accident happened, would they ring the bell.

It had been nearly a hundred years since the bell last rang.

On the other hand, the Grand Elder was baffled by Li Sheng's crippled cultivation, so he forcefully invited the ancestor out of seclusion through a fifty-fifty vote.

Everyone had thought that this was the end of Li Ran’s luck.

Who would have thought that Li Sheng would die instead?

Even the Grand Elder was infuriated to the point of unconsciousness. After waking up, he would have to face three years of confinement.

After coming out of the room, the elders' expressions grew grim as they didn't say a word.

This was especially true for the Fourth and Sixth Elders. Their faces were pale and disoriented.

It was as if the sky had collapsed.

No one knew what had happened in the secret ground.

But the only thing that was certain was that this matter was definitely related to Li Ran!

—

And of course, Li Ran knew nothing about this.

After flirting and fondling Xiao Qingge until her face turned red and her legs went weak, Li Ran went home in a very relaxed and happy mood.

When he arrived at the entrance of the Li Mansion, he discovered that the door was closed, and there was not a single guard in front of it.

"What's going on, are the guards lazy in broad daylight?"

Bang bang bang.

Li Ran knocked on the gate.

"Li Manor has arrangements today. It's inconvenient for us to see guests. Please return." A voice came from inside.

"Back to you, open your dog eyes, and see who this young master is?" Li Ran raised his eyebrows.

"Young master Ran?"

"If you don't open the door, I'll deduct your salary."

Creak!

When the scarlet door opened and the servant who was guarding the door was certain that it was Li Ran, he immediately broke out in cold sweat.

"I didn’t know that you'd return. Please forgive me, Young Master Ran!" The servant bowed deeply, his waist was bent down.

"All right, get up!" Li Ran looked left and right and asked in confusion, "Why is it so cold and deserted? Where has everyone gone?"

The servant replied, "Today, the manor is closed for guests. The elders and deacons are in the meeting room."

"Meeting room?"

Li Ran sneered, "Is it because of Li Sheng? Coincidentally, I also wanted to see what Grand Elder had to say!"

He understood Li Daoshi's personality.

He had always coveted the position of Patriarch, and he often gave the Patriarch a hard time. This time, he had given Li Daoshi such a big opportunity, so he would definitely bite him to death.

Li Ran was already ready to fight him.

The servant looked at his back and hesitated.

"Forget it, I can't talk about this kind of thing. It's better to just see it personally."

—

Li Family Council…

Li Daoyuan said in a low voice, "Ai, big brother insisted on asking the ancestor to come out, but in the end, something like this happened. It's really…"

He helplessly sighed.

The other elders and deacons had different expressions.

Some of them had depressed expressions, while others had looks of joy… This change was related to the interests of everyone.

Li Daoyuan calmed down and said, "Patriarch's order can not be disobeyed. During the three years that Big Brother is imprisoned, the family's affairs will be handled by Second Brother."

"Yes." The Second Elder cupped his hands.

He was Li Ran's second uncle, as well as a determined clan leader.

The Fourth Elder and the Sixth Elder powerlessly collapsed onto their chairs.

In three years, the Grand Elder's power would have been lifted down. The Li Clan's Patriarch would be as stable as a rock by that time.

Moreover, without the Grand Elder, their interests would be devoured step by step.

The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with bitterness.

"We’re on the wrong side…"

At this moment, Li Ran rolled up his arms and rushed in. He acted as if he wasn't prepared.

"I'm sorry for entering. Tell me, what exactly is Uncle planning to do to me?"

The meeting room fell silent.

Everyone stared at him blankly.

Li Ran was stunned for a moment. He looked carefully and saw that the Grand Elder wasn't in his seat.

"Where is the Grand Elder?" He was confused.

Cough cough!

Li Daoyuan cleared his throat. "Ran'er, you didn't know that the grand elder was imprisoned by the ancestor?"

"Ah?" Li Ran scratched his head. "Imprisoned? For how long?"

"Three years."

Pu…

Li Ran laughed on the spot.

The other elders all covered their faces.

How could we be so obvious? It was fine to put on a bad show!

Even Li Daoyuan glared at him.

Li Ran wiped his face and forced himself to stop smiling. He nodded and said, "That's good too. Eldest Uncle has been working hard for my Li family day and night. It's time for him to rest and take this opportunity to take a three-year holiday."

"……”

The Fourth Elder was about to vomit blood.

Isn't he confined? He’s not allowed to take half a step out of Ancestral Hall. Do you call this a three-year-long holiday?

When Li Daoyuan saw that his words were getting more outrageous, he hurriedly interrupted, "Ran' er, you came back just in time. Let's go to the secret ground. The ancestor wants to see you."

"Patriarch wants to see me?" Li Ran was confused.

He had only heard of the legendary Emperor Li Wuqiang. It was said that he was a heroic figure.

Li Daoyuan said, "This matter is of the utmost importance. You can go over first. We'll talk about everything else later."

"Okay." Li Ran nodded.

—

Li Family's secret ground.

Li Ran rubbed his chin as he examined the stone door in front of him.

"This is where the ancestor lives?"

This was the first time he had come here. He felt very unfamiliar with this place.

He knocked on the stone door, "Is anyone here?"

He received no response for a long time.

"Strange, didn't the ancestor say he wanted to see me?" Li Ran felt a little strange.

Behind the stone door.

The white-bearded old man smiled mischievously.

“So what if he’s Leng Wuyan's disciple? He still had to obediently listen to me! I'll leave him alone today. I still don't believe he'll be able to open the door and enter by himself."

At this moment, a system notification sounded in Li Ran's mind:

【Mission Issued】

【Please open the secret ground gate and display the strength of the Youluo Temple’s Sheng Zi!】
