Chapter 747: Chapter 747: Depriving Elder Qualification [17th Update] Chapter 747: Chapter 747: Depriving Elder Qualification [17th Update] “How could it be so low?”

Li Hui’s face turned red with the effort to restrain himself, and he dared not speak.

Li Chaotian said, “This is a question for Elder Li Hui.”

The two turned to Li Hui and asked, “How were you injured?”

Li Xiaoyao, who had not spoken until now, felt it was time to speak up. He said, “I am Li Xiaoyao of the Li Family from Xuan Country.”

His voice drew their attention. They appraised him thoroughly and, though not fooled by the facade of his Qi Refining Stage cultivation level, said with evident interest, “You are Li Xiaoyao? I have heard of you.”

The Seventh Ancestor Elder then asked, “What was the result of your bloodline retest?”

...

“Sixth Grade,” Li Xiaoyao replied, not in a hurry to explain.

“Sixth Grade?” The two elders frowned even more deeply, “If it’s only Sixth Grade, you won’t be eligible to participate in the family competition.”

“If it were really just Sixth Grade, of course, I wouldn’t participate in the family competition, nor would I come to the Ancient Li Family,” he said, and his words so far were quite normal. But then he changed his tone and added, “However, Elder Li Hui tampered with the testing stele, causing the bloodline ranks of both my brother and me to be falsely assessed. Just now, Elder Li Hui was about to destroy the stele, but I stopped him.”

“Is that so?” Their expressions darkened as they turned to look at Li Hui, whose face was now a deep red.

Unlawful meddling with the testing stele was absolutely taboo within the Li Family. Furthermore, his action had the potential to disgrace the Ancient Li Family.

The Fifth Ancestor Elder sternly rebuked, “Li Hui, is what he’s saying true?”

Under these circumstances, how could Li Hui possibly admit it? He simply shook his head, “Fifth Ancestor Elder, his claims are false. I haven’t tampered with the stele.”

“Whether there was tampering can be easily verified by the cultivation level of the two Ancestral Elders,” Li Xiaoyao calmly remarked.

This situation necessitated an investigation.

“Li Yi, please check,” said the Fifth Ancestor Elder.

The Seventh Ancestor Elder, Li Yi, nodded and walked over to the stele, lightly placing his palm upon it. After a brief sensing, his brows shot up in surprise.

Seeing this reaction from the Seventh Ancestor Elder, the clan members understood that the stele had likely been tampered with.

Upon removing his hand, the Seventh Ancestor Elder turned around and said in a heavy voice, “It has indeed been tampered with.”

At this statement, the entire plaza fell silent, with no one daring to speak.

The two Ancestral Elders stood in the plaza, their gaze as heavy as water. Everyone could clearly feel the palpable anger emanating from them.

The Fifth Ancestor Elder inhaled softly, and before the crowd could react, he raised his palm. A fierce aura instantly struck Li Hui.

Li Hui was hit by this attack and was blasted to the ground of the plaza, his blood violently spewing midair.

The clan members watched in shock but dared not even breathe out loud.

They all knew that Li Hui’s actions today had truly enraged the Ancestral Elders.

“Thud!”

Li Hui hit the ground hard, while Li Bin and Li Mo on the plaza trembled, their faces turning deathly pale with fear.

At this moment, they were filled with regret, wishing they had not been persuaded by Li Hui to take part in such an act.

The Fifth Ancestor Elder, after all, did not deliver a killing blow, sparing his life, but the attack had left Li Hui unconscious. With such severe injuries, he wouldn’t recover for several months.

“The Ancient Li Family producing such a scourge is our dereliction of duty,” the Fifth Ancestor Elder said without shirking responsibility, which made Li Xiaoyao feel a bit more favorable about the Ancient Li Family.

It seemed not all of the Li Family were scoundrels like Li Hui.

“From today onward, Li Hui is stripped of his Elder status,” declared the Fifth Ancestor Elder in a detached tone. His voice echoed over the Li Family residence, and other clan members and protector elders, upon hearing this, were somewhat astonished, not knowing what had transpired.

It was known that since the Ancient Li Family’s existence, this was the first case of an Elder being stripped of their title.

After making the announcement, the Fifth Ancestor Elder’s gaze turned to Li Xiaoyao and said, “The testing stele has been restored to normal. Try again.”

Li Xiaoyao nodded and said to Li Pengcheng below the platform, “You go first.”

Only then did the two Ancestral Elders notice Li Pengcheng, scrutinizing him carefully. They recognized another promising young member, but the difference between him and Li Xiaoyao was undeniably vast.

Li Pengcheng stepped forward, performed a junior’s salute to the two Ancestral Elders, and stood in front of the testing stele. He took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and raised his hand to press it onto the stele.

This time, without any delay, as soon as his palm touched the testing stele, a blood-colored column of light rose beneath his feet.

Rings of blood-colored light descended continuously from the sky.

One ring…

Two rings…

Three rings…

The first six rings fell very quickly, with the seventh taking about twenty seconds to appear.

Just when everyone thought that this was Li Pengcheng’s limit, the eighth blood-colored ring condensed from the air and fell swiftly under the astonished watch of the crowd.

Li Pengcheng released his palm, his face seemingly calm yet unable to suppress the joy within.

“Eighth Grade Bloodline, very good!” the two Ancestral Elders were not stingy with their praise for him.

Standing at the level of Ancestral Elders, whether for the Li Family of Xuan Country or the Ancient Li Family, in their hearts, they were all members of the Li Family.

The emergence of a genius from the Li Family of Xuan Country was a matter worth rejoicing for the Ancient Li Family as well.

They began to look forward to Li Xiaoyao. Li Pengcheng’s talent was clearly not as good as his, but even so, he possessed an Eighth Grade Bloodline, so what grade would Li Xiaoyao’s be?

Not only were they curious, the clanspeople below were also very curious.

They clearly remembered that after the stele had been tampered with, Li Pengcheng tested for a Third Grade Bloodline, while Li Xiaoyao tested for a Sixth Grade Bloodline.

Now that the stele had returned to normal, in their hearts, they guessed Li Xiaoyao’s Bloodline would be at least Eighth Grade, or even Ninth Grade.

Good heavens, they almost dared not imagine it.

After all, in the entire Ancient Li Family, those who had awakened to a Ninth Grade Bloodline were only a few, and each of them was among the most talented members of the Li Family!

Li Xiaoyao did not make them wait long; he stepped forward and raised his hand to press it onto the stele.

“Boom!”

The momentum of the blood-colored column of light was much stronger than Li Pengcheng’s, as if the surge was like a rocket launch, making the ground beneath everyone’s feet tremble.

This blood-colored column of light seemed to connect heaven and earth so that the entire Li Family could see it.

“What is that!”

“A Bloodline Awakening Ceremony?”

“No, it’s a retest!”

“It must be at the testing square.”

“This aura is indeed ferocious; when did our Li Family produce such a genius again?”

One ring…

Two rings…

The speed at which the blood-colored rings emerged and descended was much faster than Li Pengcheng’s by far.

The seventh ring…

The eighth ring…

“Good heavens!”

“It’s already the eighth ring.”

“And judging by the speed, it doesn’t seem to be slowing down at all; could it be… truly a Ninth Grade?”

“Look, the ninth ring!”

Someone shouted, and everyone’s gaze focused on the top of the blood-colored column of light, where the ninth ring was rapidly forming and instantly descended.
