After hearing Tang Ying's hesitant words, Duan Lingtian nodded slightly to express his understanding.
After bidding farewell to Tang Ying, Duan Lingtian returned to the Li family's residence.
Everything is business as usual.
However, in the afternoon, there was a complete sensation in the Li family mansion.
The eldest elder of the Li family died in the misty forest...
Duan Lingtian originally had no intention of joining in the fun, but Li Fei 'dragged' him and Ke'er out.
The martial arts arena in the outer courtyard of the Li family's residence is now crowded with people.
Seeing Duan Lingtian approaching, the crowd automatically parted ways.
For Duan Lingtian, the number one person on the "Hidden Dragon List" and the future pillar of the Li family, everyone must give some face.
"Xiao Fei'er, you pulled me here just because you wanted me to help you clear the way, right?"
Duan Lingtian's mouth twitched and he asked with some suspicion.
"I don't have one. Don't you want to come and join in the fun? I heard that it was someone from the Wang family in Triumph City who discovered the body of the great elder... Well, once the great elder dies, Li Qing has no support at all."
After talking about it, Li Fei's eyes were a little complicated.
"Why, do you care about him?"
Duan Lingtian's brows moved slightly.
"No, I'm just feeling a little emotional...Li Qing is like me. His parents also died in that disaster, and he has been living with his grandfather since he was a child."
Li Fei shook her head.
"So that's it."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
At this time, he also took Li Fei and Ke'er to stand in front of the crowd of onlookers.
In the martial arts arena, from Li Ao down, a group of elders of the Li family stood behind.
Opposite them were seven young people, both male and female.
These seven people are the children of the Wang family that Duan Lingtian met in the misty forest this morning.
In the middle of the two groups of people, the great elder "Li Tai" was lying there, dying in a miserable state. In addition to his right hand being chopped off, his throat was also sealed with a sharp weapon.
Li Ao and a group of elders from the Li family didn't look very good.
"Dear nephews, when you found the great elder's body, did you find anything else around?"
Li Ao looked at the seven members of the Wang family and asked.
"Clan Chief Li, we have looked around and found nothing."
A member of the Wang family said.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, dear nephews. It's a very important matter, but the Li family has no time to entertain you... These Yuan Sheng Dan can be regarded as a piece of my heart, Li Ao."
Li Ao took out a bottle of Sheng Yuan Dan and handed it out.
The children of the Wang family received the elixir, and they all looked happy.
"Clan Chief Li, we can understand and say goodbye."
The seven members of the Wang family come and go like the wind.
"grandfather!"
Suddenly, a shrill scream came from outside the crowd.
A young man dressed in white rushed into the crowd and knelt down beside Li Tai's body, his body trembling and crying bitterly.
It's Li Qing!
"Li Qing, my condolences... our Li family will definitely do our best to investigate this matter and bring justice to the elder."
The patriarch Li Ao comforted him.
"Check? No need to check, I know who the murderer is!"
Li Qing's eyes were red and he raised his head with a ferocious expression on his face.
"you know?"
Li Ao was stunned.
"Li Qing, if you know, you can tell me... I would like to know who is so bold and dares to kill the elder of our Li family. Do you really think that our Li family is a sick cat?"
An old man behind Li Ao spoke in a low tone, mixed with endless anger.
"That's right! Killing the great elder is tantamount to slapping our Li family in the face. Li Qing, you don't need to be afraid. You can just say it."
"I also want to know who is it that ate the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard!"
"If this person is found, he will be cut into pieces!"
…
The elders of the Li family were all indignant.
The eyes of the crowd of onlookers fell on Li Qing one after another.
They all want to know.
Who is the ‘murderer’ in Li Qing’s mouth?
Finally, Li Qing's eyes passed through the crowd of onlookers one by one...
Finally, it settled on a purple figure.
"The patriarch is him, Duan Lingtian!"
Li Qing pointed at the young man in purple clothes in the distance with an angry look on his face.
Seeing Li Qing reaching out and even calling him the murderer, Duan Lingtian's expression did not change and he looked at Li Qing calmly.
Neither humble nor arrogant.
When everyone present heard Li Qing's words, following Li Qing's fingers, their eyes fell on the young man in purple in the distance.
For a moment, the scene got a little out of control.
"Li Qing is crazy, he actually said that the murderer is Duan Lingtian!"
"Are you kidding? Even if Duan Lingtian has taken the spirit fruit and his physical body has the power of two ancient giant elephants than ordinary people, even if he has broken through to the Condensing Core Realm, his strength is only comparable to that of a third-level warrior of the Condensing Core Realm."
"With the strength of the third level of the Ningdan Realm, he can kill the great elder of the eighth level of the Yuandan Realm? Fortunately, Li Qing can tell that."
"Isn't he driven crazy by the death of the great elder? Duan Lingtian? How is that possible?"
"This Li Qing, doesn't he want to avenge his personal revenge? I heard that in this year's "Qianlong List" battle, Duan Lingtian even cut off one of his fingers because he was aggressive... Could it be because of this incident?"
"Even if he wants to avenge himself, he should find a reasonable excuse."
"Yes, Duan Lingtian was framed as the murderer. Who would believe it?"
…
The crowd's comments fell on Li Qing's ears, making Li Qing's face turn pale.
"I didn't lie, Duan Lingtian is the murderer, he is the murderer!"
Li Qing roared, stood up suddenly, and with a movement of his body, the power of the three ancient giant elephants exploded, and they went straight towards Duan Lingtian like crazy.
Wandering dragon steps!
Xuan Ming Finger!
As soon as he takes action, it is a killing move, directly hitting Duan Lingtian's vitals.
"Li Qing!"
Patriarch Li Ao's face darkened and he shouted lowly.
But how could Li Qing care about Li Ao now?
“Don’t overestimate your capabilities!”
Duan Lingtian's eyes turned cold and he took a step forward. He didn't even bother to use martial arts and threw out a punch casually.
The shadows of four ancient giant elephants gathered above his head.
boom!
A punch, far faster than Li Qing's finger, knocked Li Qing away.
Li Qing landed with a crash, his face looking ugly.
He struggled to get up, intending to take action again.
"enough!"
Li Ao's tall figure stopped in front of Li Qing with a cold look, "Li Qing, if you can produce real evidence, just say so... If you want to use the death of the great elder to attack Duan Lingtian and avenge you, I will do it now.
Deal with you according to the clan rules! Don’t forget, the Great Elder is your grandfather. His body is still cold, and you are busy avenging your personal revenge. How can you rest in peace while he is under the Nine Springs?"
"Clan leader!"
Li Qing knelt on the ground sadly, "I have no public revenge, and everything I said is true."
"Then tell me why you say Duan Lingtian is the murderer?"
Li Ao asked in a deep voice.
Everyone's eyes fell on Li Ao.
"Patriarch, now that my grandfather is dead, I will no longer hide some things."
Li Qing took a deep breath and said slowly: "At the last genius gathering, Duan Lingtian cut off one of my fingers and almost destroyed my "Xuanming Finger". Grandpa was very angry about this and threatened to teach Duan Lingtian a lesson many times.
Fan…”
Li Ao's face turned ugly after hearing what Li Qing said.
Li Tai, after all, is the elder of the Li family, but he is so narrow-minded.
The gathering of geniuses and the competition for "Hidden Dragon List" are jointly recognized by the three major families in Aurora City, so it couldn't be more fair.
In a martial arts competition, injuries are inevitable.
The crowd was in an uproar.
"It turns out that the Great Elder is this kind of person."
"I thought the Great Elder was different from us, but I didn't expect that he was the same as us, even more selfish... Li Qing was injured by Duan Lingtian at the genius gathering. Many people witnessed it. Li Qing was aggressive first, and Duan Lingtian was not wrong.
."
"Think about it, Li Qing is his only grandson after all."
"Hmph! Fortunately, I respected the great elder before, so he is such a person."
…
Duan Lingtian had a strange look in his eyes.
Is this Li Qing a fool?
His grandfather is dead, yet he still tarnishes his grandfather's reputation...
It is conceivable that if Li Tai comes back from the dead, Li Qing will probably be angry to death.
However.
At this moment, Li Qing had lost his mind and continued: "In the past few days, I saw that Duan Lingtian had to go to the misty forest every day, so I informed grandpa. Early this morning, grandpa followed Duan Lingtian... But, I
I never expected that it would be grandpa’s body that I was waiting for when I came back.”
"Master, tell me, if the murderer is not Duan Lingtian, who could he be?"
Li Qing said hysterically.
But he didn't notice that Li Ao's face became increasingly ugly.
Wow!
Almost as soon as Li Qing finished speaking, the crowd became restless again.
"Following Duan Lingtian to the misty forest? It's not like he simply intends to teach Duan Lingtian a lesson..."
"When Duan Lingtian enters the misty forest, even if he dies, no one will doubt the great elder."
"The Great Elder was too overbearing. Li Qing only had one of his fingers broken off, but it was reattached later... For this reason, he actually wanted to kill Duan Lingtian."
"The Great Elder is too scary."
…
The faces of the children of the Li family became condensed.
Follow Duan Lingtian into the misty forest just to teach Duan Lingtian a lesson?
Only a fool would believe it!
"Li Qing, don't talk nonsense. How could the Great Elder be such a person?"
Li Ao's face darkened and he shouted sharply.
"Yes, I believe that the great elder would never do such a thing."
"I believe too."
"Li Qing, don't be blinded by hatred. You should not slander your grandfather like this for your own selfish desires!"
…
The elders of the Li family expressed their opinions one after another.
What a joke.
There are so many children of the Li family present now.
Even if the great elder Li Tai really did this, they would not admit that the great elder of the Li family is no longer a mere individual, but represents the entire Li family.
"Clan leader, I didn't lie!"
Seeing that no one believed him, Li Qing suddenly became anxious and roared.
"enough!"
Li Ao shouted loudly, "Where is the law enforcement elder?"
"Master!"
Among the group of elders behind Li Ao, an old man wearing a black robe stepped out.
"Li Qing slandered me, the eldest elder of the Li family. I will drag him down and beat him thirty times to set a warning to others!"
Li Ao ordered.
"Yes, Master."
The law enforcement elder stepped out and grabbed Li Qing, just like an eagle catching a chicken.
"Patriarch, what I said is true, what I said is true..."
When being dragged down by the law enforcement elders, Li Qing was still roaring hysterically.
