Chapter 613 - 613 Something happened?Twentieth

Chapter 613: Chapter 613: Something happened?Twentieth Update? Chapter 613: Chapter 613: Something happened?Twentieth Update? “Where are you?” Li Tu’s voice betrayed a hint of anxiety.

Li Xiaoyao had no intention of answering the call, but after so many days since the breakthrough into the Human Realm, the Li Family had tried to contact him several times, all of which he had rejected. Ignoring them further would be hard to justify.

“At home.”

“I’ll be there by nine o’clock,” said Li Tu.

“Where are you now?”

“In Xiliang City, let’s talk when I get there.”

“Call me when you arrive.” After hanging up, Li Xiaoyao glanced at the time: five-thirty.

...

Li Xiaoyao pondered why Li Tu was in such a hurry to find him. What could it be?

Time flew by, and by eight o’clock, the girls woke up one after another. A surge of powerful spiritual energy burst from the rooms, and Li Xiaoyao entered each room in turn.

They had used the entire night to make several breakthroughs in succession, and their cultivation levels all reached the first level of the Condensation Realm.

The sudden increase in cultivation made it difficult for the girls to perfectly control their new abilities.

What Li Xiaoyao needed to do was to help them quickly familiarize themselves with this strength and cultivation level, to prevent them from causing trouble in their daily lives.

It took nearly three hours before the girls finally mastered their cultivation. Li Xiaoyao checked the time, which was almost nine.

Just as he was thinking that Li Tu should be about to call, the phone rang.

“I’m here.”

“Meet me at the World of Chaos,” he said casually, hanging up the phone, then turned to the still-excited girls, “I have something to take care of, I’ll be stepping out. Call me if you need anything.”

“Got it.”

Li Xiaoyao took the elevator down and drove to the bar.

Zhao Ge was not there today. In fact, Zhao Ge had not been to the bar for quite some time.

During this period, Zhao Ge had devoted himself entirely to cultivation, and as per Li Xiaoyao’s instructions, had selected a few brothers with pure intentions to teach them cultivation.

When Li Xiaoyao arrived at the bar, Li Tu was already waiting. Seeing him, the slightly furrowed brows relaxed, and he forced a smile.

But this expression did not escape Li Xiaoyao’s eyes.

There was trouble.

Li Xiaoyao came over and sat down, asking, “Out with it, what’s the matter?”

Li Tu opened his mouth, but the prepared pleasantries disappeared.

“Enough with the niceties, just tell me what’s going on,” Li Xiaoyao urged more bluntly.

Nodding, Li Tu said, “Actually, I’m not quite sure what happened. The Third Elder sent me to find you, saying that it’s imperative to call you back.”

“It’s imperative to call me back?”

Li Xiaoyao’s brow raised as he queried, “Good news or bad? If it’s some mess related to Li Pengcheng, I’m not going back.”

Li Tu shook his head, “The Third Elder doesn’t have time to deal with him right now; it seems to be about… about…”

Seeing him hesitate, a surge of anxiety gripped Li Xiaoyao, “About what? Just say it!”

“It’s related to the Clan Leader.”

Upon hearing this, the smile on Li Xiaoyao’s face disappeared. He frowned and demanded, “Be more specific.”

“It’s about the Hui Country Secret Realm, do you know?”

“I don’t know. Spit it all out at once, don’t make me beat it out of you.” Li Xiaoyao was burning with impatience. This matter involved Li Chengfeng, and since Li Yiming had sent Li Tu personally to call him back, it likely meant something serious was afoot.

Li Tu dared not conceal anything and said, “Some time ago, the Great Elder and the Second Elder heard about a secret realm in Hui Country and went to check it out. Just before we entered the Human Realm, the Great Elder and the Second Elder sent back a message confirming the existence of the secret realm and had determined its location. The Clan Leader went there at that time, and although the Third Elder didn’t explain explicitly to me, I suspect that the reason you were asked to return has much to do with the Hui Country Secret Realm.”

Li Xiaoyao had never heard of the so-called Hui Country Secret Realm, but since it was an entity coveted even by the Eight Great Sects of Xuan Country, it must not be something trivial.

“Meet me at the airport,” Li Xiaoyao said after a few seconds of silence.

Li Tu left, and Li Xiaoyao did as well.

Upon returning home, he briefly instructed the women and then turned to leave.

Jiuyin was still in the midst of cultivation, not to be disturbed, but because of their master-servant contract, communication was not hindered by distance.

Driving to the airport, Li Tu had already purchased tickets and was waiting there.

The two of them took their tickets, went through security, and the plane soon took off.

At three o’clock in the afternoon, the plane landed at Qingyang City International Airport in the Taihang Mountains; stepping off the plane, Li Xiaoyao immediately felt the thick spiritual energy surrounding him.

Elder Li Yiming, having been notified well in advance, had already arranged for someone to meet them at the airport, and after picking them up, they drove non-stop towards the Li Family’s home.

The car stopped, and the two got out.

Gazing at the Li Family houses he hadn’t seen in a long while, Li Xiaoyao felt a hint of emotion.

Entering the Li Family compound, Li Xiaoyao’s gaze swept across the expansive courtyard; the clan members who were scattered about, upon seeing the young man next to Li Tu, appeared startled at first and then showed a trace of surprise.

“Li Xiaoyao!”

“Why has he come back?”

“He’s probably here to find trouble for Li Pengcheng.”

“I think so too, given that Li Pengcheng has done such outrageous things in the Human Realm.”

“Li Xiaoyao has never been a kind sort; if it were me who suffered such a loss, I’d also make sure to settle the score.”

Li Xiaoyao ignored these rumors and gossips and walked forward with Li Tu.

At this moment, the Third Elder was in a meeting with other elders, discussing important matters.

A clan member approached and whispered a few words to Li Yiming, who nodded slightly, then turned towards the others and said, “Xiaoyao has returned.” Then he told a clan member by his side, “Go invite Xiaoyao here.”

Observant individuals noticed that the Third Elder used the term “invite,” not “bring,” or “lead.”

All present at this meeting were the pyramid’s top talents of the Li Family.

Many were not present the last time Li Xiaoyao returned and did not have the opportunity to witness his elegance.

Li Xiaoyao’s sudden return today certainly took them by surprise.

Indeed, many were curious about Li Xiaoyao. They wanted to know what kind of person he was and what virtues and abilities he had that earned the Third Elder’s favor.

If Li Xiaoyao were only the son of the Clan Leader, there wouldn’t have been much for them to be curious about.

Yet, this Clan Leader’s son, who had suddenly appeared, gained such esteem from Third Elder Li Yiming, which was quite extraordinary.

The Li Family was not an autocracy; even the words of Clan Leader Li Chengfeng faced opposition from many.

Besides Li Chengfeng, it was the direct line elders who held significant influence.

Each elder’s authority was equivalent to two-thirds of the Clan Leader’s.

Because of this, when everyone learned of the Third Elder’s special regard for Li Xiaoyao, they were particularly surprised.

For, to some extent, having the Third Elder’s attention implied possessing remarkable talent and ability.

They wanted to see for themselves if Li Xiaoyao had the qualifications worthy of such attention from the Third Elder.
