Chapter 743: Chapter 743: Tampering【13th Update】 Chapter 743: Chapter 743: Tampering【13th Update】 The Ancient Li Family was located within the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. The mountains of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains were vast and wide, and ninety percent of the ancient clans had settled here.

The place was rich in spiritual energy, essentially a natural Spirit Gathering Array.

Li Xiaoyao wielded the Seven Star Ancient Sword, flying to the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains with Li Chaotian and Li Pengcheng.

Even at Li Xiaoyao’s speed, it still took them over half an hour to reach the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

It was Li Xiaoyao’s first time coming to the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. As far as the eye could see, there indeed was a natural wonder—continuous mountain ranges forming a stunning landscape.

“We’ll enter from here. We need to cross seventeen mountains before we can reach the Li Family,” said Li Chaotian, looking in a certain direction.

“Seventeen mountains? There’s no need for all that trouble; we can just fly over them.”

...

Li Chaotian shook his head, “Xiaoyao, remember, if you’re in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, avoid flying unless it’s necessary.”

“Why?” Li Xiaoyao didn’t quite understand.

“This mountain range is the most mysterious and ancient, second only to the Kunlun Mountains. Even our Ancient Li Family has not fully explored the entire Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. The opportunities here are numerous, but so too are many hidden dangers. These dangers are invisible and intangible, yet they are very real.”

“You wouldn’t know how many demon beasts are hidden in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, nor could you comprehend the terrifying strength of these beasts. Once you fly high, your whereabouts are exposed, and besides, you won’t know if you have entered the territory of some beast. Therefore, the best method is to conceal your presence and travel on foot.”

“Then we’ll go on foot,” Li Xiaoyao said, not wanting any trouble. He held the world in awe and knew that with his current cultivation level, he could not afford to strut around the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, and even in the Cultivation World, there were many powerful beings he couldn’t afford to provoke.

Li Pengcheng had been very calm throughout the journey, not saying a word. But occasionally, Li Chaotian would share some matters to be heedful of, and he listened very attentively.

“Elder Chaotian, in the Ancient Li Family, what is the usual cultivation level for those who have reached the Seventh Grade Bloodline?” Li Pengcheng suddenly asked, as they crossed the sixteenth mountain.

Li Chaotian replied, “Most are in the Spirit Cultivation Realm, and few are in the Golden Core Realm. Your cultivation level is outstanding even among the younger generation of our Ancient Li Family.”

Hearing this, Li Pengcheng subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

He had little understanding of the Ancient Li Family and only knew that none of the ancient clans were to be taken lightly. His cultivation might seem formidable, but in the eyes of the ancient clans, it really wasn’t much.

Actually, he was mistaken. The Ancient Li Family indeed was powerful, but the younger generation was not as strong as they seemed.

If one were only to compare the younger generation, those of the same age were generally an entire realm ahead of the disciples from the Eight Great Sects of Xuan Country.

The journey had been smooth so far, without even a single encounter with a demon beast, which upon reflection, made sense.

After all, this path must have been trodden by the Li Family thousands of times, and even if there were demon beasts around, they knew not to provoke the humans who traveled here regularly.

Having climbed over the last mountain, they saw a group of ancient and quaint buildings coming into view.

…

“Are you saying that Li Xiaoyao has surpassed the Ninth Grade Bloodline?” In a spacious room within the Ancient Li Family, three middle-aged men gathered.

Li Bin had rushed back to the Li Family overnight, but when he arrived, all the elders had already retired for the night.

Early this morning, he brought in two of the elders with whom he had a good relationship to share the news.

“Yes, I saw it with my own eyes,” Li Bin nodded and earnestly said, “You haven’t seen such a scene before. That kid… he’s truly strong.”

As he said this, Li Bin’s feelings were actually quite complicated.

The Li Family of Xuan Country was merely a branch of the Ancient Li Family, yet they had a member who surpassed the Ninth Grade Bloodline. What an embarrassment for the Ancient Li Family!

Such an event had already occurred over twenty years ago; were they doomed to repeat the past?

“Let’s not rush to tell the Ancestral Elder about this. Once they arrive, we can retest him,” said the elder named Li Hui.

Li Bin gave a bitter smile and shook his head, “I tested with the new examination stele yesterday, and even if we test again, it will be of no use.”

“Of no use?” Li Hui gave a cold laugh, “With a Bloodline above Ninth Grade and such strong Cultivation Level, if nothing unexpected happens, he is likely to take one of the three spots to enter the forbidden land in this year’s clan competition.”

“Even if he takes the spot…what can we do? We don’t have any options.” Li Bin sighed repeatedly. Naturally, he did not wish to see someone from the Xuan Country Li Family using the resources of the Ancient Sect Li Family, but there was no use hoping it could be different; the reality couldn’t be changed by anyone.

“Thump thump thump!”

“Come in!”

A clansman pushed the door open and respectfully said, “Three Elders, Protector Li Chaotian has arrived with two people from the Xuan Country Li Family.”

“Already here?”

All three were surprised; it was only ten o’clock in the morning. They had arrived already?

“Lead them to the side palace to wait.”

After the clansman left, Li Hui’s voice lowered, “Later, during the retest, I will not let him pass. Then, we can directly send him back to the Li Family!”

Li Bin and the others looked at each other in alarm, their eyes reflecting a mutual concern.

“This matter… If the Ancestral Elder finds out, it might not end well,” Li Bin cautiously said.

Li Hui snorted coldly, “So what if the Ancestral Elder knows? This is the Ancient Li Family, not the Xuan Country Li Family. We make the rules here, and we won’t allow them to run wild.”

“This…”

They couldn’t help but hesitate. Although they were envious of the Xuan Country Li Family having such a talented individual, if they did what they were planning, it would be infighting between sect members. If the Ancestral Elder found out, they feared there would be punishment for them.

“Don’t worry, there will be no problems with this matter. Nobody will guess that we have tampered with the examination stele.” Li Hui said with a sly smile.

With gritted teeth, Li Bin and the others said, “Let’s do just that.”

Satisfied, Li Hui nodded, “Li Mo, you go to the side palace first and stall for some time. Wait for my signal.”

“Okay.”

With clear division of labor and a meticulous layout, this was almost a perfectly crafted conspiracy.

A conspiracy targeted at Li Xiaoyao.

Li Mo headed to the side palace, while Li Hui and Li Bin went to the Li Family’s examination plaza.

Side palace.

The clan servant presented tea, and Li Xiaoyao was chatting and laughing with Li Chaotian.

“The clan competition is scheduled to take place about a week from now. The method is simple—drawing lots.”

“Not many clan members are eligible to take part in the clan competition. After all, even in the Ancient Sect Li Family, the number of members whose Bloodlines have awakened to at least Seventh Grade can be counted on one’s fingers.”

Li Xiaoyao nodded, this information was to him neither here nor there.

If it came down to combat, what ultimately counted was one’s own strength.

A thought crossed his mind, and Li Xiaoyao suddenly remembered the situations when Li Chengfeng and Li Chaotian had participated in the clan competition in the past. He asked, “Can you kill someone during the clan competition?”

Li Chaotian looked up at him, delaying his answer.

After a long while, he let out a sigh, “You can, but if one side admits defeat, the other side must not continue to attack. Otherwise, the Ancestral Elder will personally intervene to mete out death.”
