Chapter 439: Head of the Li Family
"Alas, I don't know whose child has run in again. It's going to be hard for him to come back!" A man sighed helplessly, a look of regret on his face. His eyes were filled with worry, as if he was very familiar with the situation of the teleportation array.
"I don't know what the Li family's situation is like now. Can't we really go back and take a look?" Tears welled up in the woman's eyes, and her heart was filled with concern for her family.
"We can't leave here anymore. The teleportation array sends spirit stones here every day. We need to deliver them to the Pangu Spirit Trees in a timely manner, otherwise, how can these trees survive?" The man was Li Yanghui, the patriarch of the Li family. His tone was filled with a hint of helplessness and determination. He knew the importance of protecting this Pangu Spirit Tree forest. Although he was deeply worried about the family's situation, he had no choice but to stay here for the sake of these precious spirit trees.
"Husband, our children have all gone to another world. I don't know what's happening to them now. I'm afraid there's not much left in the Li family now. I don't even know if our daughter is alive or dead!" The woman was Li Yanghui's wife, Li Yuanyao, and her voice was filled with deep sorrow. She was adopted by the Li family, and although she had no blood relationship with Li Yanghui, she held an incredibly deep bond with the family.
"Alas, I just hope they're all well!" Li Yanghui gently hugged his wife, his eyes filled with fatigue and worry. If they hadn't shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting the Pangu Spiritual Forest and were unable to leave, they would have returned to investigate their family's situation long ago.
At the same time, Nangong Jingming and Su Siyi passed through the teleportation array. They felt a flash of light before their eyes, and their bodies seemed to be pulled by a powerful force, shuttling through an endless void. When they regained their vision, they found themselves in a completely unfamiliar place. The surrounding environment was strange and mysterious, and the unfamiliar aura that filled them instantly made them alert, not knowing what kind of challenge awaited them...
"The atmosphere here is so chaotic, the spiritual energy is so mixed!" Su Siyi frowned slightly, her delicate face filled with confusion. She slowly turned her body, her eyes scanning the surroundings with vigilance. The air around her seemed to be twisted by an invisible force, and the spiritual energy permeated the air like a tangled thread, sometimes thick, sometimes thin, giving people a sense of extreme instability. She wondered why the spiritual energy in this place was so strange. Could it be hiding some special secret?
"Who are you?" Just as Su Siyi and Nangong Jingming were warily observing their surroundings, a figure suddenly appeared not far in front of them. The figure was tall, dressed in a simple, ancient robe, with a stern face and a hint of doubt and vigilance in his eyes, staring closely at the two of them.
"Who are you?" Nangong Jingming reacted quickly, instantly pulling Su Siyi behind him. He looked at the newcomer with sharp eyes, his tone full of vigilance. He leaned forward slightly, his hands hanging naturally, ready to deal with any possible danger.
"Did you just come out of the teleportation array?" The man seemed to sense Nangong Jingming's vigilance and paused for a moment before changing the question. His voice was low and powerful, echoing in the silent space.
"Yes." Nangong Jingming hesitated for a moment, and felt that it was okay to answer the question truthfully, so he responded briefly.
"Which family in the world of cultivation are you from?" The man scanned them with a hawk-like gaze and continued to ask.
"The Li family." Su Siyi poked her head out from behind Nangong Jingming and spoke directly. Her voice was crisp and firm, with a hint of unquestionable momentum.
"Li family, descendants of whom?" A hint of doubt flashed in the man's eyes. Obviously he still had doubts about their identities and continued to ask.
"Descendants of Li Miaoyin." Su Siyi spoke her great-grandmother's name without flinching. An inexplicable confidence surged in her heart, as if simply saying this name would prove their identity.
"Li Miaoyin, that's my younger sister. How is she now?" When the man heard his younger sister's name, a look of surprise instantly appeared on his originally cold face. His eyes lit up and he looked at them eagerly and asked.
"Who are you?" Su Siyi looked at him suspiciously, her eyes full of confusion. She didn't expect that this person was actually Li Miaoyin's relative, and a hint of anticipation suddenly surged in her heart.
"Li Miaoyin is my biological sister!" the man said with a happy face, and the wrinkles on his face were smoothed out by the smile.
"Oh, then you must be my great-grandfather!" Su Siyi's eyes lit up, and a happy smile appeared on her face. She looked carefully at the man in front of her, trying to find any similarities between his face and her great-grandmother's.
"You're my younger sister's daughter's granddaughter. Has it been so long?" A look of regret suddenly appeared on the man's face, his eyes revealing a sense of regret for the passage of time. He sighed slightly, as if recalling every detail of the past.
Su Siyi and the others didn't answer his question, sensing he didn't really need an answer, merely lamenting the relentless passage of time. They stood there quietly, waiting for him to continue his questioning.
"How is my little sister now?" The man's eyes were rekindled with concern for his sister, and he asked again anxiously. In his heart, the little sister was the only one left in the Li family, and he was very worried about her safety.
"Grandma passed away a long time ago!" Su Siyi said calmly without hiding anything. Although she felt a little reluctant, she felt that she should tell the truth.
"What? Say it again!" Li Chenxing widened his eyes at this moment, his face full of disbelief, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.
"My great-grandmother passed away a long time ago, and my grandmother was thrown out of the cultivation world by the Ji family, left to fend for herself." Su Siyi's tone remained calm, but a hint of anger flashed in her eyes. She recounted the experiences of her grandmother and her daughter in detail, each word carrying a heavy weight.
"How could this happen? How dare the Ji family treat my little sister like this!" Li Chenxing's face was filled with shock and anger. He unconsciously clenched his hands, and his body trembled slightly. In his mind, my little sister had the entire Li family behind her. How could the Ji family be so bold as to bully someone from the Li family?
"Then I have to ask you. You've all disappeared one by one, leaving the Li family with no one left. How can they obtain the Li family's resources if they don't bully the Li family?" Su Siyi said bluntly, her eyes full of reproach. She felt that if they hadn't been so focused on finding the missing people without considering the family's development, the Li family wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state.
