Chapter 293: The Li Family’s Reaction to the Impact of the Incident

“Alright, 1’11 contact the Li family when I get back.”
Sect Master Xu replied. Then, he asked,”Will the Li family believe this reason?”
“It will. Compared to a dead Elder, this puppet that can last forever is more valuable.”
“They definitely won’t pursue the matter. Instead, they’ll use this opportunity to snatch the puppet away.”Zhou Muchun laughed.
“This subordinate understands.”
Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed since Li Kezhao attacked the Chen family.
In this month, the consequences of this incident were sweeping through the entire Da Qian.
Whether it was merchants, peddlers, or nobles, no one had expected that the Chen family actually had a puppet on stage.
One had to know that decades ago, the Chen family was still in the midst of storms and living a precarious life.
It had only been a short time since they had reached the Eighth Stage. It was already shocking enough, but now they were told that the Eighth Stage was just a display of strength deliberately made by the Chen family.
There was still a lot of strength hidden within.
How could this not shock everyone?
Of course, even if the Chen family could be considered a sixth-rank force now, not many big forces were willing to make friends with them.
The reason was still the terrifying force that shrouded everyone’s heads.
The Li family!
No matter who it was, they were all waiting for the Li family’s opinion.
If the Li Clan acknowledged the Chen Clan’s status and did not take away the puppet, they would naturally try their best to curry favor with them.
If the Li family forcibly took away the Chen family’s puppet, the Chen family would be reduced to its original form, and at most, it would be an eighth-rank aristocratic family.
What would the Li family choose?
The Li family, which was in the center of everyone’s attention, was also arguing fiercely at this moment.
Li family, in the meeting hall.
Patriarch Li glanced at the elders and said indifferently,””Tell me, should we make a move?”
As soon as he finished speaking, an elder in a golden robe took the lead and said,”Of course we have to take action. The Chen family killed my Li family’s elder. If we don’t take revenge, how can my Li family talk about dignity!”
“The Chen family killed him? 1 really don’t know where you got the news from. Just based on the words of a passerby, you’re sure that the Chen family killed him.”
“Doing things so rashly will damage the dignity of my Li family.”A blue-robed elder mocked.
“Alright, there are no outsiders here. Why are you lying so much?”
“We must investigate Kezhao slowly and not let him die unjustly. However, we must get the puppet of the Chen family no matter what.”
“Only my Li family is worthy of possessing such a puppet.”A green-robed elder said.
The green-robed elder’s words struck a chord in everyone’s hearts. They naturally had to take revenge for Li Kezhao, but they also wanted the Chen family’s puppet.
The golden-robed man looked at the blue-robed man smugly.” Elder Ke Lu, you think so too, don’t you?”
“Oh, that’s not right. I forgot that Chen Yang is the disciple of that bastard Zhou Tianli. He’s also related to your lineage.”
“Humph!” Li Kerning snorted.” Li Kerning, watch your mouth.””
“Putting aside the fact that it was clearly your fault, what does it have to do with Zhou Tianli? Now that Zhou Tianli has broken through to the stage, we have to respect him!”
“Alright, alright.”
Seeing that the two of them were about to continue arguing, the Li Family Head hurriedly waved his hand.” Elder Ke Lu is right. Zhou Tianli has already broken through and stepped onto the stage. We still have to give him face.”
“From today onwards, no one is allowed to mention that matter.”
“In addition, if Zhou Tianli is willing to marry into our family, that would naturally be good. If not, we can’t force him too much.”
“With Qingya’s talent, it’s only a matter of time before she breaks through to the stage. We can’t let the two of them, who clearly can listen to the Li family’s command, enter the stage and hate the Li family.”
“Why are you talking about this? We are discussing how to deal with the Chen family.”
” 1 still don’t recommend dealing with the Chen Family.” Hearing this, Li Kehua took the lead and said,” Not only because Chen Yang is Justice’s disciple, but there are also other reasons.”
“Oh, what is the reason?”Li Kerning said playfully.
“Who does this puppet belong to now that we’ve seized it?” Li Kehua asked indifferently.”
The elders fell silent.
The current Li family was not like before. Everyone loved each other and focused on the development of the family.
Now that the clan had become stronger, there were naturally more schemes and infighting. Everyone wanted to take this puppet as their own.
At the same time, they didn’t want the other party’s bloodline to control this puppet.
After a long silence, the green-robed elder smiled and said,”No matter what, we still need to bring the puppet over.”
“As for how we distribute it, that’s our own business.”
“I don’t think so.” Li Kehua shook his head.” This distribution will definitely create a gap between us.”
“To put it bluntly, isn’t this puppet only at the third level of strength? If the clan were to fall into chaos because of this, it would really be unwise.”
“But we can’t just leave a puppet outside, right? Once it becomes hostile towards our Li family, it will also cause a lot of losses.”The green-robed elder retorted.
“What’s so difficult about that?”
Li Kehua glanced at the green-robed elder and said indifferently,””We can just directly include the Chen family into our vassal family.”
“There are so many dynasties and sects in the Endless Mountain Range, and there are all old ancestors in them. 1 don’t see any of them affecting my Li family.”
How could they, they could, they could, they could, they could, they could, they could?”
Even the green-robed elder fell silent.
Many of the ancestors of the dynasties and sects outside had reached the fourth level and above, but they did not pose a threat to the Li family.
“The energy required for this puppet of the Fourth Stage has to be provided by spirit crystals,” Elder Li Ke continued.
If we were to bring them into our vassal families, the restrictions on them would be even greater than the restrictions on the ancestors of the dynasties.”
“As long as we strictly restrict the Chen family’s Spiritual Crystals, how we use this puppet will depend on our eyes.”
“If we forcefully seize it, we will definitely be resisted. At that time, which faction will bear the losses?”
As soon as he said this, not only the Li family elder, but even the Li family head fell into deep thought.
Was it worth it?
No matter how good this puppet was, it could only display the strength of a puppet on the third level.
Snatching it would not increase his overall strength much. It would only make him look better when he brought it out.
Seeing that the family head was a little relaxed, Li Kehua struck while the iron was hot and said,”Patriarch, when we let the Chen family become our Li family’s vassal, we can also propose other conditions.”
“For example, if we want to use the puppets, we have to get our permission. If we want to recruit the puppets, they can’t object.”
“If we don’t snatch the Chen Clan’s puppets, the Chen Clan will be deeply grateful to us. How could they possibly refuse our request?”
“With this request, isn’t this puppet equivalent to our Li family? Moreover, it can avoid fighting with each other and hurt the harmony of the family.”
These words were the last straw that broke the camel’s back.
Not only the Li Family Head, but all the elders were also tempted.
Except for Li Kerning.
Li Kerning was from Li Kerning’s lineage. Now that their lineage had lost a third level mighty figure, they were in urgent need of new experts.
Puppets were his only choice.
Li Kerning immediately cupped his hands and said,”Master, you can’t listen to the words of the elder. He’s completely siding with the Chen family.””
“How can 1 be at ease if 1 leave this puppet outside?”
“I’m biased towards the Chen family?”” Hmph!” Li Kezhao snorted coldly and then admitted openly,” That’s right, I’m siding with the Chen family.”
“The clan head also said that it’s only a matter of time before Qingya breaks through to the stage. At that time, the only people related to the Chen clan will be two mighty figures.”
“And be it Justice or Qing Ya, their future achievements will not be limited to the early stages of the competition.”
“Because of this puppet that has ascended to the third level, two experts above the middle stage have been separated from the Li family. Is this worth it?”
“If we don’t seize the puppet, not only will the Chen Clan be grateful, but the two powerhouses above the middle stage will also be grateful to us..”
