Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 878: What is this all about?

"Ancestor!"

"Ancestor, is there anyone else who can help?"

"Ancestor, quickly tell us, who is that person?"

"Ancestor, please tell us right away, we’ll invite them immediately."

...

As soon as the people inside the room heard the Ancestor speak so, their eyes immediately widened in disbelief. They truly couldn’t fathom anyone capable of aiding the Li Family. To help the Li Family now, one would need to find someone capable of defeating Lin Feng, but Lin Feng had even defeated the Ancestor—how could there possibly be someone that powerful in the Cultivation World? This... this was simply inconceivable!

However, they all knew that the Ancestor never spoke idly; if the Ancestor had said so, it meant that such a peerless Super Powerhouse must exist. With this thought, hope reignited in their hearts, and they clamored to know who this person was. As long as the Ancestor named them, the Li Family was prepared to pay any price to invite this person to help them through this crisis.

"This person, I’ve only seen once," said the Ancestor. "He was a black-robed elder, the one who took Zerui away. Furthermore, the reason I was able to become so powerful immediately upon my breakthrough, even to the extent of defeating the Old Monster, was all due to that person’s guidance. He is far more powerful than I; facing Lin Feng should be well within his capacity. That’s why I said that as long as he is here, the Li Family will definitely survive this crisis. We might even be able to use this opportunity to strike back at others, preserving our current status. The elder is just too formidable; I truly have no idea the extent of his power."

"But he has only appeared once, and we have no idea where he is. This is what troubles me greatly. If only we could find him..."

Li Deming related the matter concerning the black-robed elder. At this juncture, only the black-robed elder had the ability to save the Li Family. And in Li Deming’s view, considering the elder had already saved Li Zerui and had even come to enhance his strength last time, it suggested that the black-robed elder harbored good intentions toward the Li Family. If only they could find the black-robed elder, they should be able to plead for his aid this time, which would ideally resolve everything perfectly.

"What! This..."

"The black-robed elder is... is that formidable!"

"Ancestor, what... what does this person look like?"

"Yes, Ancestor, tell us what he looks like so we can dispatch someone to search for him right away!"

...

Hearing what the Ancestor had said, the Li Family members couldn’t contain their joy. The black-robed elder was indeed remarkable, having saved Li Zerui and even assisted the Ancestor in improving his strength—it was truly unbelievable. The Ancestor himself was a late-stage S-level entity, yet the black-robed elder managed to do what he did, which was enough to indicate that the elder was even more formidable than the Ancestor. How could it be that such an incredible individual had never been heard of in the Cultivation World?

Moreover, the Ancestor had stated that the black-robed elder was far more powerful than himself, and that Lin Feng would definitely not be a match. While they were astonished at the elder’s capabilities, they knew there was no time left to ponder these matters. Their foremost concern was to locate this black-robed elder quickly so he could help the Li Family through this unprecedented crisis.

Even though they had no idea where the black-robed elder might be or how to contact him, as long as the Ancestor could describe what the elder looked like, they were ready to pay any price to find him as quickly as possible...

"He is a supreme master; I am nowhere near his level. Elder... Elder, have you... have you come?" Li Deming provided a simple answer to the crowd’s questions. But before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a different kind of presence. Slightly surprised, he quickly realized—it was the Cold Qi of the black-robed elder he had just mentioned. This... this was too much of a coincidence. Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives.

Although Li Deming was now severely injured, he was after all an S-level expert in his later stages. Even if he was injured, his realm was still there, his powerful perception still existed. So, when the black-robed elder appeared, he immediately felt the presence of the black-robed elder, even without seeing the black-robed elder with his own eyes. But Li Deming knew he definitely could not be mistaken; this was certainly the aura of the black-robed elder.

Black-robed elder?

Where is he, where is the person?

Why can’t I see anyone? What is the ancestor talking about?

...

Upon hearing the ancestor’s words, everyone felt extremely confused. What was going on? Why was the ancestor saying a senior had come? Could it be that it was the black-robed elder? But... but why can’t they see anyone now? With this thought, everyone turned to look around inside the house, trying to find out who the person the ancestor was talking about was and where they were. Why couldn’t they see anyone when the ancestor was still talking like this?

Just when the Li Family was utterly puzzled, suddenly, they all felt an ice-cold chill in the house, as if it could pierce their skin and directly affect their internal organs, making them feel as if they were frozen by millennium-old ice.

In an instant, aside from Li Deming and Li Litian, the rest, including several S-level elders, were unable to move, standing there like ice sculptures, with only their eyes still able to move. Their eyes all turned to the black-robed elder suspended in mid-air, filled with incredible shock. The strength of this black-robed elder was truly terrifying, having achieved this without anyone else reacting, such strength was indeed too terrifying!

They never expected such a thing to happen, their hearts filled with more questions, thinking that this elder was supposed to help Li Zerui, to help the ancestor. Then, it meant that the black-robed elder should have had a good relationship with the Li Family. So, why would he do this to the people of the Li Family? What on earth was going on? But, as much as they wondered, no one dared speak up. In the presence of such a super powerhouse, they truly lacked the courage to question anything, only hoping that the ancestor could plead with the black-robed elder to let them go.

"Senior, please let them go. If there has been any offense, as the Family Head, I am willing to take the punishment," Li Litian also didn’t understand what was going on. Why was the black-robed elder doing this? If he didn’t get the black-robed elder to release these people quickly, they would definitely be injured. Thinking of this, Li Litian immediately reconsidered the events that had occurred earlier, trying to understand the intentions of the black-robed elder’s actions. However, Li Litian couldn’t make any sense of it, because the black-robed elder had not said anything before.

Then... then what was all this about? What was the intention behind the black-robed elder’s actions? Li Litian couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard he thought...

"Senior, thank you for saving Zerui, and thank you even more for enhancing my strength. But why are you doing this today? Please tell us, if our Li Family has wronged you in any way, I will personally punish them. Rest assured," Li Deming was also extremely perplexed in his mind. Why was the black-robed elder doing this? What was it for? He also couldn’t think of any reason for the black-robed elder to act like this. But for the sake of the people of the Li Family, he had to lower his stance and try to get closer to the black-robed elder, to ask why he was doing this. It was essential to get to the bottom of this.

Although his stance was very low, Li Deming didn’t feel the slightest discomfort because the strength of the black-robed elder was there after all. Even if he had not been injured, he was far from being the black-robed elder’s opponent, let alone now when he was injured in this way. If he didn’t act this way and caused a misunderstanding with the black-robed elder, it would be terrible for the Li Family. He still hoped to ask the black-robed elder for help for the Li Family. No matter what, they couldn’t offend the black-robed elder at this time.

"I came today simply to kill you all, nothing more. You don’t need to resist, it is utterly meaningless. Besides the people here, everyone outside is already dead. This is just the last stop!"

The black-robed elder spoke simply, his tone void of any emotion, as if he was talking about something completely unrelated to him, as if slaughtering the Li Family was nothing at all. In fact, it was indeed the case; destroying the Li Family was too easy for him. The people of the Li Family were incredibly powerful to others, but to him, they were like ants. Besides, he had already made his decision before coming here, and now it was being carried out just like that.

After saying this, with a wave of the black-robed elder’s hand, the solid ice that had already surrounded the other people in the house instantly engulfed them completely, turning them into ice sculptures. Undoubtedly, in the blink of an eye, several elders of the Li Family and many leaders had all lost their vitality, with no one able to survive under such circumstances...

Seeing all this, Li Deming’s anger surged, and he suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, then miraculously stood up straight from the bed. Looking at the black-robed elder, regardless of the fresh blood flowing down his chest, his heart was shattered. He knew the strength of the black-robed elder; if the black-robed elder meant to kill, there was not a single person in the Li Family who could be his opponent. So, the fact that the black-robed elder said this meant that aside from him and Li Litian, there were no more living people in the Li Family...

"Why, why is this happening!" Li Deming roared at the black-robed elder, truly unable to understand why the black-robed elder would lash out so venomously. The Li Family had never offended the black-robed elder, and moreover, Li Zerui had been cultivating with the black-robed elder. Why would the black-robed elder treat the Li Family this way? Li Deming was very self-aware; he knew that under today’s circumstances, there was not a single person in the Li Family who would survive. If he didn’t get to the bottom of this, he would not be able to die in peace!

The thought that thousands of people from the Li Family had all died today, at this very moment, and that the Li Family’s lineage which had been passed down for over a thousand years had been extinguished by this one black-robed elder, the pain in Li Deming’s heart was like being fried in boiling oil. If he had not been so severely injured, even if he could not match the black-robed elder, he would have charged forward. But now, he could only suppress his rage, he must understand why the black-robed elder did this, otherwise, he truly would have no face to meet the ancestors of the Li Family.
