Chapter 649: Chapter 438: The Reason, Do You Dare to Take It?
When he heard the young man in luxurious clothes mention the name Li Weitian.
Lu Qing finally understood why he had suddenly felt a heart and spirit stirring moments ago.
Back when he was in the Jade Cave, he obtained the Inheritance Jade Scroll left by Li Weitian.
It provided significant assistance at the start of his cultivation.
He had indeed received Li Weitian’s favor.
Originally, he thought that after so long, everything concerning Li Weitian had dissipated.
Unexpectedly, the other side still had a branch of relatives who continued on.
Hearing the young man in luxurious clothes say that the small family had committed a wrong, Lu Qing knew that it was time to repay this cause and effect.
While Lu Qing was pondering, the conversation in the tavern still continued.
"Li Weitian?"
Yan Canghai looked a bit puzzled, clearly never having heard the name.
"It’s normal for fourth brother to not know this person; Li Weitian was someone from seven or eight hundred years ago, and back then, our Yan Family hadn’t even claimed kingship yet.
I only discovered some of his deeds by chance, when I deliberately went to investigate this person," said the young man in luxurious clothes with a smile.
"Someone from seven or eight hundred years ago?"
Yan Canghai was enlightened, just as he thought, even though he had left the royal capital for some years, if such a remarkable person had appeared, he shouldn’t have been completely ignorant.
He couldn’t help but curiously ask: "What is so special about this Li Weitian that makes you so concerned?"
"Li Weitian was an unparalleled powerhouse seven or eight hundred years ago.
It’s rumored that his cultivation back then had reached a peak realm.
Once, as the National Guardian of Ji Country, he single-handedly wielded a sword, suppressing all the Innate Realm experts around the neighboring countries, making them unable to raise their heads.
He could be said to be one of the strongest in the world at that time.
Even in Central State, few could match him!"
"Such a formidable one!"
Yan Canghai’s body shook immediately, but he quickly reacted.
"’Ji Country’? Isn’t that..."
"Precisely, it’s the predecessor of our ’Yan Country’—’Ji Country’." The young man in luxurious clothes nodded.
"Back then, ’Ji Country’ was considered strong among the countries in our Eastern Border region.
A large reason for this was the existence of Li Weitian.
But later, after Li Weitian disappeared, ’Ji Country’ declined.
After barely supporting itself for over a hundred years, it eventually fragmented.
Most of the territory was led by our Yan Family, which is how ’Yan Country’ came to be."
"Such secrecy indeed." Yan Canghai murmured.
"The map in my hand was obtained from the descendants of Li Weitian.
Back then, Li Weitian’s martial arts and cultivation were peak, rarely encountering rivals.
But similarly, his temperament was fierce and explosive, brave and fond of fighting.
While he was still the National Guardian of ’Ji Country’, he had challenged all the Innate Realm experts from the surrounding nations.
Even if they locked their doors and didn’t come out, he still forced his way to challenge them.
The records in the literature state that in those challenges, he never lost, he was invincible.
But because of this character, he offended quite a number of people.
So, after Li Weitian disappeared, his family naturally suffered retaliation.
Even if Innate Realm experts couldn’t directly harm ordinary people, under the instructions of many powerhouses, the Li Family soon fell.
Later on, they vanished from sight, never to be seen again.
Initially, many thought that some Innate Realm expert secretly took action to completely annihilate the Li Family.
It was only recently that I learned the Li Family wasn’t exterminated back then.
Rather, they actively scattered the clan members, divided into smaller groups, hid their names, and retreated to the mountains and countryside, thus continuing on.
However, because of this, after several hundred years of war and change.
The Li Family went from a great family that flourished for a time to a small clan with only a few dozen members."
Listening to the luxurious young man’s account, Yan Canghai felt an inexplicable emotion.
Even the most prosperous family can’t withstand the vicissitudes and ups and downs of time.
But what intrigued him more was something else.
"Since the Li Family has long hidden their identity, how did you learn of these things and obtain that map?"
"This matter indeed came by chance; I recently took a new concubine.
It turned out that on the day I took her out shopping, an insolent man collided with us.
Angered, I captured the whole clan, planning to detain and execute them.
Unexpectedly, that insolent man was the son of the current Clan Leader of the Li Family.
To save his life, the Li Family’s Clan Leader offered the map and explained the history of their family.
Trying to use this to preserve his family’s lives.
It’s said the map was left by Li Weitian in the clan before he disappeared.
After hearing it, I became quite interested and wished to uncover the secrets of the map.
If it indeed contains any treasure, it would be perfect to present as a birthday gift to Father King."
The luxurious young man spoke pleasantly, but knowing his nature, Yan Canghai immediately heard the hidden tricks in it.
He coldly chuckled and said: "What insolent man, perhaps they were originally a couple, and seeing the beautiful woman, you forcibly seized her as a concubine, didn’t you?"
The young man didn’t deny it, and calmly said: "Having caught my eye is her blessing, enjoying luxury and wealth is better than marrying into a small family."
"Once you uncover the map’s secrets, how do you plan to deal with the Li Family?" Yan Canghai asked.
"If the treasure within the map satisfies me, I may consider sparing their clan.
But if there’s nothing, then everything will proceed officially."
Yan Canghai revealed a mocking expression.
He too understood his seventh brother’s nature.
