Chapter 737 Integrating the Four Prominent Families

"Ancestor, the second matter is that Zerui has gone missing," Lin Litian said, relieved when he heard the Old Ancestor didn’t blame him for the death of Uncle Li. He hurriedly reported Li Zerui’s disappearance, which only the Old Ancestor could clarify.

"Zerui? What happened?" Li Deming was already very annoyed when he learned about Li Li’s death. The news of Li Zerui’s disappearance added to his confusion. Li Zerui was the Li Family’s future hope, a talent in cultivation second only to him. How could he possibly go missing? What exactly happened?

"This is what happened..." Without hesitation, Lin Litian detailed the cause and circumstances of Li Zerui’s disappearance. His only hope now was to inform the Old Ancestor and get help in bringing Li Zerui back; the Old Ancestor was his only hope.

"So, that’s what happened," Li Deming finally understood after listening to Lin Litian. He was not surprised that Li Zerui had been severely injured by Lin Feng, since Lin Feng had the capability and had shown mercy by not killing Li Zerui. Yet, hearing that Li Zerui had gone into demonic cultivation sent a wave of tension through Li Deming; he understood the consequences, especially during an AAA-level breakthrough to S-level, and even he was not confident in saving Li Zerui.

But hearing that Li Zerui mysteriously vanished from his own room, Li Deming was completely shocked. Li Zerui had no ability to move at that point, so leaving the room was impossible, especially since the guards heard nothing, making the disappearance all the more baffling. What exactly happened?

Could it be... could it be that some supremely powerful expert took Li Zerui away?

After much consideration, Li Deming could only conclude this. But this thought frightened him; the Li Family was a Prominent Family of cultivators, with nearly everyone a skilled practitioner, and their security was stringent. Not even a fly could enter or exit unpermitted; not even he could silently take someone away from the Li Family. Whoever did this must be a super expert far stronger than him!

Thinking of this terrified Li Deming even more. Apart from that Old Monster in the Capital City, he couldn’t think of anyone else capable of this feat. One thing Li Deming was sure of was that the person who took Li Zerui meant no harm; otherwise, they would have killed him instead of taking him away. The exact motive was unknown, but Li Zerui’s life was not in danger, which eased Li Deming’s mind. This matter would eventually come to light; there was no need for him to worry.

"Ancestor, what should we do now?" Seeing the Old Ancestor deep in thought, Lin Litian waited a while before speaking again, seeking guidance on what to do next.

"Let’s put Zerui’s matter aside for now; rest assured, the boy’s life isn’t in danger. However, Li Li’s death cannot be left unaddressed. Otherwise, what would become of our Li Family? How could we stand in the Cultivation World? Lin Feng must die!"

Li Deming simply stated the resolution to the two issues after hearing Lin Litian’s words. From any perspective, Lin Feng had to pay for killing Li Li, otherwise how could the Li Family maintain its standing in the Cultivation World? An S-level expert killed with no repercussion would tarnish the Li Family’s prestige, and how could they continue to be considered the foremost among the four great families? As for Li Zerui, that matter had to be set aside for now until the time was right for the truth to reveal itself, which wasn’t a concern.

"The Ancestor is right; Lin Feng must die!"

"Ancestor, we’re all waiting for your emergence."

"Ancestor, please tell us what to do."

"Ancestor, with your intervention, Lin Feng’s death is certain!"

...

Including Lin Litian, everyone was excited upon hearing the Old Ancestor’s words. They all truly wished for the Old Ancestor to take action and kill Lin Feng. It was all because of Lin Feng that the Li Family had been in turmoil recently. They had considered sending another of the Li Family’s S-level experts, but they decided against it. Uncle Li had perished at Lin Feng’s hands, and they didn’t want to risk losing another expert. If another expert died, they wouldn’t know how to explain it to the Old Ancestor.

So, hearing the Old Ancestor’s declaration, everyone rejoiced. In their eyes, with the Old Ancestor’s involvement, there was no escape for Lin Feng, certain death awaited him. The Old Ancestor was a revered figure in the Cultivation World, second to none. No matter how formidable Lin Feng was, he could never be the match for the Old Ancestor!

"Enough, the matter is not as simple as you all think. If Lin Feng is so powerful, then his master must be at least on my level, perhaps even higher. Killing Lin Feng is easy, but we must plan carefully. Acting rashly could bring disaster upon the Li Family," Li Deming waved his hand, signaling for everyone to not oversimplify the situation and explained his point, hoping everyone would understand the state of affairs.

"What! Even more powerful than the Ancestor!"

"This... This is impossible!"

"Heavens... Heav..."

...

When the people heard what the Old Ancestor had said, they were all dumbfounded. Never had they considered such a possibility. If it were as the Old Ancestor had said, then Lin Feng must have a master so formidable as to defy description. If Lin Feng were to die, then his master would surely seek revenge. The Li Family would indeed be in danger...

With this thought, everyone became anxious once again. They all looked to the Old Ancestor, hoping he would have a solution to the present crisis.

"Let’s do this, relying solely on the Li Family’s strength, we may indeed be unable to cope with the retaliation from Lin Feng’s master. To be on the safe side, let’s first integrate the four Prominent Families. By combining the forces of the four Prominent Families, even if Lin Feng’s master were to be extremely powerful, he would not surpass the united force of the four. Moreover, it’s about time we integrated them into the Li Family. Once we have absorbed the four Prominent Families, we will have the strength to handle Lin Feng without fail," Li Deming pondered for a moment before stating his final solution. Before his retreat, he would not have dared to speak of absorbing the four Prominent Families as there were still several strong S-rank experts among them, thus making it an impossible task. However, now, after his breakthrough, he had the confidence to do so. He decided to take advantage of this opportunity to integrate the four Prominent Families, which would be beneficial as it would not only strengthen the Li Family’s power but also prepare them for any future threats.

"What!"

"Old Ancestor!"

"Integrating the four Prominent Families!"

...

The people present, who could never have dreamed of such a declaration from the Old Ancestor, were utterly astounded. Their jaws nearly dropped to the ground, and they found themselves speechless, overwhelmed by shock. This had transcended their understanding. But upon seeing the Old Ancestor’s confident demeanor, they realized that he was not joking.

Since the Old Ancestor had said this, it meant he truly possessed the strength to integrate the four Prominent Families. Such a feat was previously unthinkable. If he succeeded, the Li Family would become the sole prominent family in the Cultivation World. Under the guidance of the Old Ancestor, the Li Family would march towards an incomparably glorious future...

......

Su Xiaoxi’s three concerts in Tianhai had sparked a global craze. Her songs were being played everywhere around the world, and almost everyone who had heard her songs had become her fans. Some of her more zealous followers gathered their strength demanding she perform in their countries, determined to see her in person and to express gratitude for her mesmerizing music.

Almost simultaneously, the same phenomenon unfolded in multiple countries: spontaneous parades of Su Xiaoxi’s fans asking for her to hold concerts again, preferably a global tour, so they could have the chance to attend at least once.

The headquarters of Jones Corporation was besieged by fans and several major international corporations to the point where it was no longer accessible, an event nobody had anticipated!

Some countries even made official requests to the Huaxia embassies, a situation previously unheard of. This sudden issue left the embassies at a loss, unsure how to respond. With no other options, they had to report the matter back to the homeland for a solution.

This demonstrated the unimaginable influence of Su Xiaoxi’s super concert on a global scale, undoubtedly unprecedented...

Pressured from all sides, Chu Meng finally had no choice but to decide that Su Xiaoxi should prepare for the upcoming world tour. This had to be done; otherwise, there was no chance the global fervor would settle down.

After a few days of rest, the day when Su Xiaoxi had to leave Tianhai finally arrived, leaving her heart heavy. Her time in Tianhai, with all its happenings, had been deeply etched into her memory. Everything about Lin Feng was now permanently carved into her heart, impossible to erase.
