Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 505: The Mysterious Old Man

Li Litian now looked extremely haggard. After bringing his son back, he checked his son’s meridians and the result left him at a loss for what to do. His son’s meridians were filled with chaotic and uncontrollable True Qi. If he hadn’t sealed his son’s meridians, he... he would have already exploded and died...

Just thinking of this tore Li Litian apart. Such an outstanding and excellent son... how... how could he have fallen into cultivation deviation? Wasn’t this going to break Li Litian’s heart!

But Li Litian didn’t want to give up just like that, which is why he had struck the Ancient Bell, gathered all the people in charge of household affairs, and asked for their help. His only thought was to save his son’s life at any cost! At this moment, he was not the Li Family Head, but merely a father. For his son, he was willing to do anything!

So, once everyone had taken their seats, Li Litian began to speak, although his voice sounded exceptionally low and weak.

"Everyone has seen the condition of my son, Li Zerui, who has now fallen into cultivation deviation. I’ve called everyone together to think of a way to save Zerui; otherwise, the most talented prodigy of the Li Family is going to perish!" Looking at Li Zerui lying in the middle of the hall, Li Litian felt very powerless. Falling into cultivation deviation in the Cultivation World was basically a death sentence. At the least, the person would be ruined and become paralyzed, while at worst, they would explode and die. And Li Zerui’s condition was extremely severe. If his acupoints weren’t sealed, he would definitely explode and die...

"Family Head, falling into cultivation deviation is already unsolvable, but Zerui..."

"Zerui has fallen into such serious cultivation deviation..."

"We have no solution; we genuinely cannot help with this matter..."

...

Upon hearing Li Litian’s words, everyone immediately expressed their positions. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to help, but in the face of cultivation deviation, they simply had no solutions. Any cultivator would know that this condition was almost unsolvable, which is why it was regarded as the point of no return by all cultivators!

"I don’t want to hear this; I just want to know if there’s any solution!" Li Litian’s eyes had already turned red. He too knew very well that falling into cultivation deviation was essentially unsolvable. He didn’t gather everyone here to listen to their nonsense.

"Young Master, if there’s a possible way to save the Young Master, it seems that only the hope of the great elder’s intervention remains. But the great elder has already gone into seclusion..." The lean and tall manager of the Li Family’s medicinal garden, Li Lihe, spoke up. In the Li family, if there was anyone who could possibly save Li Zerui, it could only be the all-powerful great elder. But the great elder had already been in seclusion for a long time, and, most importantly, before secluding himself, he had made it clear that under no circumstances should anyone disturb him...

"The great elder, is there a chance with anyone else?" Li Litian also knew that if the great elder took action, there was a possibility of saving his son. But since the great elder had been in seclusion for a long time and had instructed not to be disturbed, not to mention that no one could even enter the place where the great elder was secluded, this made Li Litian very helpless.

"Elder Du Yun is still here. Family Head, I think we should invite him to have a look. Elder Du Yun is an S-rank expert just like Uncle Li. Maybe he might have a way," said Li Liben, who wasn’t tall but had a notably strong presence. Until now, they had been talking about how the great elder was in seclusion when suddenly he remembered Elder Du Yun—an S-rank expert who might have a solution.

Elder Du Yun held a special status in the Li Family. He was somewhat affiliated with the great elder, but what that relationship was, nobody knew. Nevertheless, he truly was the only external family Elder in the Li Family. No one knew just how formidable he was, but they had heard Uncle Li say that he could not defeat Elder Du Yun, so by comparison, everyone understood the realm of Elder Du Yun.

Moreover, ever since Elder Du Yun had suddenly appeared in the Li Family decades ago, appointed as an Elder by the great elder, everyone had been filled with doubts. But over the decades, everyone had observed what Elder Du Yun had done for the Li Family. Due to his kind-hearted nature, coupled with his superior medical skills, he had saved many of the Li Family’s AAA-ranked experts over the years. His abilities had gradually made everyone forget that he was an S-rank expert, viewing him instead as a benevolent elder with great medical expertise.

"Right, how could I have forgotten about Elder Du Yun? Quick, someone go and invite Elder Du Yun over," Li Litian’s eyes lit up upon hearing the suggestion. His mind had been in disarray from concern, how could he have forgotten about someone like Elder Du Yun? He immediately sent someone to fetch him.

It wasn’t long before Elder Du Yun arrived in the hall. He had already heard about Li Zerui’s mishap with cultivation, which was why he had been asked to come. So, without a word, Elder Du Yun went straight to Li Zerui’s side, picked up his hand, and with closed eyes, began to examine Li Zerui’s current condition.

The crowd, observing the situation, kept silent, not wanting to disturb Elder Du Yun.

It wasn’t long before Elder Du Yun opened his eyes, let go of Li Zerui’s hand, pulled out an elixir from inside his robe, and stuffed it into Li Zerui’s mouth. Then, he forcibly drove the elixir into him with his True Qi.

"I cannot help this child Zerui, the current situation seems extremely grave. If there’s a chance, we can only wait for the great elder to come out of seclusion. Just now, I gave him an elixir, which can only ensure that Zerui’s condition doesn’t get worse. Other than that, I’m powerless," said Du Yun as he looked at Li Zerui and shook his head helplessly. He had not expected Li Zerui’s cultivation deviation to be so severe. If the situation was a little lighter, he might have been able to do something, but now he really was powerless, barely managing to prevent the situation from deteriorating.

"Thank you, Elder Du Yun, for your attempt to heal my child, and for interrupting your rest. Come, send Elder Du Yun back," Li Litian, upon hearing that even Elder Du Yun couldn’t help, felt immensely discouraged. However, there was no one to blame in such a dire situation. His son’s cultivation deviation was just too severe. If not for the battle-hardened steward, his son might have already been gone. Accepting this, he could only politely utter his thanks and arrange for the return of Elder Du Yun.

Elder Du Yun didn’t say anything further and left the hall, heading back to his residence.

"Everyone, you can disperse. We don’t have a way to save Zerui now. We can only wait for the great elder to leave seclusion." Seeing that no one present had a solution, and even Elder Du Yun, known for his medical expertise, was out of options, Li Litian felt a great pain in his heart. He could only announce the disbandment, allowing everyone to return to their own affairs. In the current situation, they could only wait for the great elder to leave seclusion to find a solution. But it was uncertain when that could be, leaving his son’s fate hanging in the balance...

Li Litian felt more and more distressed as he thought. After he finished speaking, he lowered his head.

Seeing this situation, everyone in the hall stood up helplessly, shook their heads, and dispersed. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to help find a solution, but because there truly was no solution to such a predicament.

Sigh...

It’s still no use!

Li Zerui, though currently unable to control his body, had regained his normal senses and heard every word spoken in the hall. He truly hadn’t expected to fall into demonic possession. If he had known the consequences were so severe, he might not have been so eager for success. But now, it was too late for regrets.

"Carry the Young Master back to his room," said Li Litian with a feeling of helplessness, as he slowly got up. In that moment, he seemed to have aged many years. His son had been his sole hope, the hope of the Li Family, and now, to fall into demonic possession like this... he, as a father, had no means to save him...

Shaking his head, Li Litian too left the hall.

After being carried back to his own room, Li Zerui lay on the bed, his heart beginning to grow restless once again.

Lin Feng, it’s all Lin Feng’s fault!

If it wasn’t for Lin Feng defeating him, if it wasn’t for Lin Feng taking away Ding Wan’er, who rightfully belonged to him, how could he have been so desperate to cultivate like a madman, only to end up in a fate worse than death due to demonic possession!

The more Li Zerui thought about it, the more agitated he became, the anger inside him burning fiercely, his breathing growing rough. If he could, he wanted to kill Lin Feng at all costs!

Now, Li Zerui was filled with hatred towards Lin Feng. If it were possible, in his mind, he had already torn Lin Feng to countless pieces and thrown them into a pot of boiling oil...

Unknowingly, night had fallen, and the hatred in Li Zerui’s heart not only had not subsided but had grown even stronger. Just as he was pondering what he would do once his ancestor cured him, a strange event occurred.

"Such thoughts are wrong. It’s good that you have such persistence, but your Heart Demon has already taken over your heart. It was inevitable that you would fall into demonic possession," said a voice.

Suddenly, in the room appeared a thin old man wearing a black robe, his face wrinkled with age, and white-haired, who spoke calmly. Yet this calm voice was chilling to the bone, making one’s hair stand on end and exuding an indescribable coldness.

Who is he? How did he suddenly appear in the room?

Li Zerui was incredibly surprised by the sudden appearance of this old man in his room. One must know that the Li Family’s defenses were meticulously strict, and being a prominent Cultivation Family, they wouldn’t just allow anyone to come and go. How could a stranger suddenly appear under these circumstances? What... what on earth is going on?

But then Li Zerui felt that something was even more amiss. When that old man had just spoken, the aura he emitted was that of an assassin, and this murderous intent seemed almost tangible, mixing with a violent air that made Li Zerui feel a towering killing intent. Even the temperature in the room seemed to drop drastically the moment the old man appeared!

This... this is too exaggerated!

Who exactly is this old man, and how many people must he have killed to possess such a terrifying aura?

What... what on earth is going on?

...

As Li Zerui stared at the old man before him, his heart was completely filled with panic. He hadn’t expected someone exuding such a violent aura and an overwhelming killing intent to appear in his room. What exactly is going on, and who is this old man? Right now, he couldn’t move at all, not even able to shout for someone to come in...
