ALL NOVEL Chapter 122: Su Family Estate
[Su Family Estate]
The scene changed. As expected of a prominent family with over seven hundred years of heritage, the Su Family Estate was incredibly grand.
Led by members of the Su family, Li Dalong and his wife arrived at the main hall of the estate and met with the head of the Su family, Su Jinming.
By observing the auras of the Su family members within the hall, Li Dalong gathered intelligence, which was relayed to Li Wei.
The head of the Su family was at the False Core stage.
There was also an elder at the False Core stage, one person at the peak of Foundation Establishment, three Foundation Establishment experts, and a few juniors from the Su family.
After exchanging introductions and some brief small talk, Seated in the guest chair, Li Dalong went straight to the point and sighed. "Ah, Brother Jinming, I've come this time to apologize to you."
"Apologize?"
Su Jinming was taken aback.
"Yes."
Li Dalong forced a smile. "My grandson, Li Yunlin, had a feud with Su Cheng of your Su family many years ago. Young people are often hot-headed, going overboard with their fights and killings. But in my opinion, once the matter is clarified, it's easy to resolve. Su Cheng from your family was in the wrong first, and my grandson was also wrong to kill him. So, how about this: five hundred thousand spirit stones, and the matter between our two families is settled. Your Su family just needs to agree to no longer participate in any actions against my grandson. What do you say?"
"What do you mean?"
As expected of the head of the Su family, who had lived for over a hundred years, he didn't show any emotion and continued sipping his tea.
Moreover, the Su family was currently setting a trap to kill Li Yunlin. The Li family coming to the Su family at this time was inherently suspicious!
He was now full of doubts. The intelligence he received didn't mention that the Li family would come, but he didn't believe this was a coincidence.
"At this very moment, my Yunlin is approaching with Elder Qiuli of the Skyveil Sect."
Li Dalong didn't mince words. Having lived to his age, he knew well that some things weren't worth hiding. "Elder Qiuli is at the mid-Golden Core stage. It wouldn't be difficult for him to kill your ancestor who just recently reached the Golden Core stage."
Seeing the head of the Su family furrows his brow, Li Dalong slowly picked up his teacup and took a sip unhurriedly. "I know even more. The assassination attempt on my Yunlin was orchestrated by Elder Qiuye of the Skyveil Sect, who instructed your Su family to find assassins."
The expression of the Su family head grew increasingly grim.
Li Dalong continued, "This Skyveil Sect is quite interesting, wouldn't you say? Sect Leader Zhen knew about the assassination attempt on Yunlin, yet he turned a deaf ear, unwilling to kill Elder Qiuye, a peak Golden Core expert within the sect. Such negligence! Now, Elder Qiuye has anticipated that my grandson would come to eradicate your Su family, so he set a trap here beforehand. What a clever strategy."
These simple words were enough to make Su Jinming's face turn pale!
"In the eyes of the Skyveil Sect, both you and I are mere ants. Why sacrifice the lives of your Su family members for some past grudges, for the sake of one Elder Qiuye?"
At this moment, Su Jinming was drenched in sweat.
Everything Li Dalong said was about the past. But Su Jinming understood the deeper implication: it was a message that nothing between his Su family and Elder Qiuye had escaped the Li family's notice.
Furthermore, the Li family's visit this time wasn't actually about 'apologizing,' but about offering the Su family a way out.
It even implied that All the traps that the Su family and Elder Qiuye had set were within the Li family's sight.
But How was this possible?!
He stared intently at Li Dalong and his wife. This man was only at the Mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and his aura was ordinary. According to the intelligence Su Jinming possessed, the Li family from Tailin Town in the Sky Jade region was just a small family that had risen to prominence only sixty years ago. Their strongest assets were a Violet Tempest Python and a puppet comparable to the False Core stage.
The most impressive feat this family had ever accomplished was merely wiping out the Dragon Tiger Sect and becoming subordinates of the Cloudsea Pavilion.
In an instant, Su Jinming seemed to understand everything. His expression softened, and he even let out a long sigh of relief.
He stared at Li Dalong with amusement and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, Li Dalong, you're truly amusing! Those people behind you are from the Cloudsea Pavilion, aren't they? Did Huang Xiujin feed you all this information? Is that how you learned to weave such a tale?"
"Did you bring people from the Cloudsea Pavilion here in secret? Do you think you can bully my Su family just because we've only been a Golden Core family for a short hundred years?"
"Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous!"
"You think you can intimidate me, Su Jinming, within my own Su family estate with the help of the Cloudsea Pavilion? Do you really think you have already won?!"
In an instant, all the experts in the hall summoned their weapons!
They looked at the couple as if they were fools.
"BOOM!"
A tremendous roar echoed as Golden Core level true energy surged from beyond Five Peaks Mountain, bombarding the Su family's grand formation.
The sound was like a thunderclap, shaking the earth and mountains.
Seeing Su Jinming's arrogant laughter at his perceived advantage, Li Dalong rose to his feet along with Xu Cuihua, who had been sitting silently beside him.
Frowning, he summoned his top-grade spirit tool.
"Su Jinming, I gave you a chance."
