Chapter 25: The Total Annihilation of the Su Family! A Grand Gift for Su Wan!

Inside the Su family compound, everyone stared in shock at Li Xuan and the corpse lying on the ground.

Is the Li family insane? Is this really the legendary ancestor of the Li family?

To kill a member of the Su family right in front of the Su family members themselves!

Arrogant, utterly arrogant!

Su Cheng’s fury ignited instantly. A junior of his Su family had been slaughtered by Li Xuan right before his eyes! How dare Li Xuan do such a thing!

"Li Xuan!" Su Cheng stood up, glaring coldly at him. "You dare kill a member of my Su family in front of me? You are truly courting death!"

With that, Su Cheng swept his gaze over those Li Xuan had brought with him. "There was a path to the Immortal Realm you refused to take, yet you chose to barge into the gates of the underworld! Today, neither you nor anyone you brought will leave this place alive!"

Li Xuan smiled faintly. "Ancestor Su, Su Cheng, I came here on this trip to ask about the day of my grand wedding, when your Su family's Su Wan left with Ye Bufan of the Xiyue Sacred Land. You, Su Cheng, must be aware of this, right? So, can you give me an explanation?"

Li Xuan’s smile was approachable and gentle.

But Su Cheng was so infuriated he laughed, his body trembling. "How bold, truly bold. You kill my kin in front of me, and you still dare to question me?"

"The Li family is pushing us too far!"
"Kill them! Fight them to the death!"
"Who is this man, thinking he is worthy to marry Sister Su Wan!"

The surrounding Su family members were filled with murderous intent, their rage soaring; they wished nothing more than to tear everyone from the Li family to pieces. The guests in the courtyard also wore icy expressions and chimed in.

"Your Li family is far too arrogant! Not only have you killed so many of the Su family, but you dare to commit murder here and demand an explanation from them?"
"I advise you, Li family, do not dig your own graves."

They were naturally siding with the Su family. Who would be foolish enough to speak up for the Li family? Besides, Su Wan was a disciple of the Holy Master of the Xiyue Sacred Land—a Holy Master!

The members of the Li family standing behind Li Xuan remained completely unmoved. What was their Li family’s background? They had wiped out the Tai Long Sect, and they had the Mo family by their side. A mere Su family was nothing to them. Seeing their ancestor slandered, the Li family disciples glared with ferocity, their own killing intent boiling over.

Li Xuan looked at them and then back at Su Cheng, sighing softly. "Why is it that you cannot understand what I am saying?"

"However, judging by your tone, Ancestor Su, you are certainly siding with Su Wan. So, regarding this matter of the bride being snatched away, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Before Su Cheng could speak, a figure appeared in an instant. Zhang Zhi, radiating a majestic aura, locked his eyes on Li Xuan. "An explanation? I’ll give you an explanation—I’ll send you to the underworld to find it! How about that?"

"I never expected it to be so effortless. You, Li family, dare to come to the Su family seeking death!"

Clink. Two tokens hanging from Zhang Zhi’s waist rattled, and the crowd instantly recognized who this was: a Venerable of the Dao-Integration Realm from the Xiyue Sacred Land!

The Su family ancestor bowed, "Welcome, Venerable Zhang..."

At that very moment—*bang!* A sound like a watermelon exploding rang out. Su Cheng felt liquid splash onto his face and body. He reached up to touch it, and his hand came away covered in red.

He looked up, his body shuddering.

The figure of Venerable Zhang, who had been standing right in front of him just a moment ago, was gone. And there was Li Xuan, holding someone in his hand.

Su Cheng’s gaze tightened. That person was undeniably Zhang Zhi. He suspected his eyes were playing tricks on him. How could this be? Shouldn't it be the Venerable holding Li Xuan?

*Thud.*

Li Xuan tossed Zhang Zhi’s body to the ground. Zhang Zhi’s body twitched, his eyes, losing their remaining spark of spirit, filled with horror. He had been blasted apart by a single punch! He hadn't even been able to see how Li Xuan had struck!

Wasn’t it said that the Li family was just a small, insignificant clan? Why was their ancestor so terrifying?!

The light in Zhang Zhi’s eyes vanished completely.

Something vanished from Zhang Zhi’s body, and Li Xuan smiled. "All sorts of people dare to meddle in these affairs now."

"Welcome, Venerable!"
"May the Venerable live for ten thousand years..."

In the courtyard, some people were still bowing. They looked up, hoping to catch a glimpse of the powerful Venerable from the Xiyue Sacred Land, only to see Li Xuan toss a corpse aside. They widened their eyes, seeing the Venerable lying on the ground in a pool of blood.

His pale, grey face was frozen in shock and terror, mixed with confusion and bewilderment, as if he had witnessed something impossible!

They stood frozen, their pupils shrinking, their bodies trembling slightly. Before their minds could even process the reality, a chill washed over their entire bodies.

The Venerable is dead?! Killed by the Li family ancestor?!

Someone rubbed their eyes, looking again. It was no illusion, no dream—it was real! The invincible Dao-Integration Venerable of the Xiyue Sacred Land had died in the Su family, dying in the most common of ways, slumped on the ground like a dead dog! The powerful aura of the Dao-Integration realm seemed to still linger on them, yet the master of that aura was gone in an instant!!

*Gulp.* At this moment, everyone was swallowing hard. Their eyes turned involuntarily toward the Li family ancestor. The Li family ancestor had killed a Dao-Integration Venerable in seconds!

Li Xuan looked at Su Cheng. "It seems you cannot give me an explanation or a statement."

Under Li Xuan’s gaze, goosebumps broke out all over Su Cheng’s skin. He forced a smile. "Son-in-law Li, it’s all a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding! Su Wan has always held you in her heart! I will call her back right now and have her marry you!"

Instantly, the Su family members joined in, echoing him.

"Yes, the Li family has always been the family I admire most! Sister Su Wan loves Ancestor Li the most!"
"It’s all a misunderstanding!"
"Haha, so what if a few people died? That’s a small matter! The Su family has plenty of people!"
"The Ancestor and Sister Su Wan are a match made in heaven, a legendary pair! For the Ancestor to be willing to marry my Sister Su Wan, it is the honor of our Su family!"

The Su family members spoke with hearts full of shock, alarm, and even a feeling that their guts were being torn apart. The Li ancestor’s strength was truly terrifying!

Nearby, the guests who had finally regained their wits rushed to chime in as well.

"Indeed, indeed, the Ancestor is truly imposing and peerless!"
"The Ancestor’s strength is absolute, supreme, and unmatched! It is the honor of three lifetimes for us to see the Ancestor in person!"

Li Xuan picked at his ear, somewhat speechless. "Ancestor Su, why the sudden change from arrogance to fawning? Your flattery makes me feel a bit sick."

Su Cheng said sincerely, "Ancestor Li, what I say is the truth. As for the disciple of the Xiyue Holy Master, we don't know her at all; it was all just rumors."

"Son-in-law Li, it is all a misunderstanding."

Li Xuan shook his head, which made Su Cheng’s heart skip a beat. Then he heard Li Xuan say, "I am planning to send Su Wan a grand gift. What do you think?"

Su Cheng was overjoyed. "Haha, Son-in-law Li, that’s easy. Our Su family has everything; we can add flowers to the brocade."

Li Xuan shook his head again. "No, you are the ones providing help in the snow."

Li Xuan smiled faintly. "One of your Su family members said it well: what does it matter if a few people die? Your Su family has plenty of people."

Su Cheng froze, stepping back, and shouted sharply, "Li Xuan, we already know we were wrong! Why must you still kill us!"

Li Xuan chuckled. "I told you I was sending a grand gift to Su Wan. Besides, you don't 'know you were wrong'; you are just terrified because you know you are going to die."

Li Xuan flicked his finger, and *bang!*—Su Cheng’s body exploded inch by inch. He let out a piercing scream. "Li Xuan! Even as a ghost, I won't let you go!"

"What kind of gift is this! You came here just to kill us!"

Li Xuan gave a noncommittal "hmm." "Didn't you say I came here to bully others? Let’s kill everyone then, and send a grand gift to Su Wan."

Instantly, the Su family members erupted—some roared in rage, some screamed in agony, and some knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

"No! Get away from me!"
"Ah! Spare me! I don't want this! Ancestor Li, I'm kneeling to you—it was all Su Wan’s own decision!"
"Ancestor, there is a debt for every wrong, please spare my life!"
"Su Wan!! It’s all your fault! Damn you! You deserve to die!"

Soon, all was quiet.

The Su family members were dead, though some still lived, sealed by Li Xuan. The Li family members were exhilarated, yet calm. The Su family had to be wiped out; they had dared to insult their ancestor! The Su family members deserved to die! Su Wan’s act of insulting the ancestor in front of everyone at the wedding was a capital offense! The Su family’s end was well-deserved!

"Ancestor, everything is prepared."

Li Xuan nodded slightly. "Very good. Send it to Su Wan!"

Li Xuan also released two objects—the things that had flown away after killing Yang Rong and Zhang Zhi. He had intercepted them, and now, it was time for them to make their entrance.

...

Outside the Su family residence.

Many people were watching from a distance, curious. They had seen the Li family arrive and enter the compound.

"The Li family actually came to the Su family. It looks like they’re here to apologize."
"The Su family really has hit the jackpot. Miss Su has become a disciple of the Xiyue Holy Master; she’s ascended to the heavens in one step!"
"The Li family won't get off easy. I wonder if the Su ancestor will kill them."
"Who knows? The Li family is quite something, though; they already killed members of the Su family. Coming to apologize now is useless."
"I heard it was because Su Wan declared her true love for someone else at the wedding to the Li family, and that’s why..."
"Shh, keep it down. The Su family is different now."
"Sigh, I really envy the Su family."
"Indeed. I wonder when someone like that will appear in our family."
"Heh, the Li family must be feeling so stifled. They have no choice! That’s a Holy Master’s disciple! The Li family has to obediently come and apologize. It’s truly humiliating."
"After killing the Su family members, I wonder how the Li family will make amends."
"Amends? They’ll probably have to pay with their lives!"

The crowd whispered and speculated, full of envy. The Su family was truly lucky to have produced a disciple of a Holy Master. It was a true ascension.

Just then, the Su family gates opened. Everyone looked over, and they were stunned by the group that walked out.

The people walking out of the Su residence were actually the Li family?!

The Li family members not only showed no signs of injury, but they were also in high spirits, carrying festive gift boxes. The onlookers were bewildered. What was going on? Wasn't the Li family the enemy of the Su family?

Why did the Li family come to the Su residence and leave with gifts?!

Was the Su family that magnanimous? Could they treat the enemy who killed their kin with such hospitality?! They were completely baffled.

At that moment, they saw the leader of the Li family smile at them, and the group departed quickly. They looked toward the Su residence; the gates were open, and it was eerily silent.

"Did no one from the Su family come to see them off?" someone asked.

A curious patriarch of a small family in the city said, "I'll go take a look."

He arrived at the gate, froze in his tracks, his body tense, staring into the compound without moving.

"What’s going on?"

The scene sparked confusion among the others. They followed, and in an instant, a chill ran through them all.
