Chapter 114: To Hell with Father and Son
"Do you want to die? It won’t be that easy. Even if I cripple you, I will still remove your stubborn nature. Otherwise, if you fall into demonic ways in the future, I, Li Tiangang, will have no face before the world!"
Li Tiangang said coldly.
He raised his hand, and a powerful force swept across the area.
His immortal Divine Sense rapidly covered the Divine General Manor. Suddenly, two chains shot out from a dark dungeon within the manor, racing through the air like black shooting stars, falling before Li Hao.
"I originally intended to make amends for you, but you have been spoiled for so many years. Even if I go back on my word, I must first break your stubborn bones!"
Li Tiangang said coldly, "Don’t forget what I do. I have many ways to erase your stubborn nature!"
"Li Tiangang!!"
Li Qingzheng, his eyes wide with anger, rushed over, his aged face flushed with rage. "What are you doing? Do you want to torture your own son?!"
"Fifth Uncle!"
Li Tiangang’s expression changed, and he snapped, "This is my family matter. Don’t interfere!"
"You, you are driving me mad!"
Li Qingzheng pointed at him and shouted, "You just returned from the Border Pass. Was it not enough to show off your power there? Do you have to do it here too?"
"For so many years, you never visited Li Hao once, and now you come back and want to change everything about him. Have you gone mad?!"
"Fifth Uncle, stop!"
Li Tiangang’s face turned icy. "I have been tolerating you and Second Uncle for years. Your indulgence has made him this stubborn. I didn’t want to say it outright, but you are the ones who were supposed to raise him in my place!"
"But isn’t it because of your indulgence and protection that Li Hao is like this today?"
"Can’t you see what he has become? He dared to attack me! He just obtained the True Dragon Quota and has a bit of strength, and he already acts so recklessly!"
"In the future, when he reaches the Three Immortalities and enters the Fourth Establishment Realm, even you, his uncles, might be trampled under his feet. He would dare to destroy the ancestral shrines!"
"You, you!"
Li Qingzheng pointed at him, trembling with anger, his eyes wide. For a moment, he was speechless.
How could he blame them for protecting Li Hao?
Who else in this vast manor could spend time with the child besides them two old men?
What wrong had the child ever committed?
"You are, you are simply unreasonable!" Li Qingzheng gritted his teeth.
The years of restraint finally broke. If it weren’t for the ancestral shrines in the Ancestral Hall, the Li Family’s thousand-year foundation, which was even more important than the Rain Listening Pavilion, he would have already taken action to teach his nephew a lesson in place of his late brother!
"Move aside!"
Li Tiangang’s face was full of murderous intent. He no longer wanted to argue with Li Qingzheng, seeing everything he said as an attempt to defend Li Hao.
"Fifth Master, please move aside. Don’t let this mad dog break your Heart Oath."
Li Hao’s voice came from behind Li Qingzheng.
Li Qingzheng’s body trembled, his expression changed, and he turned to look at Li Hao, who was covered in bruises, his clothes tattered, and his face bloodied. His eyes were full of pain and sympathy.
"Li Hao, just humble yourself and apologize!"
"You are, after all, father and son. Just apologize."
After all, father and son?
Li Hao laughed, a laugh that turned into a roar.
But soon, the laughter stopped abruptly.
"Fifth Master, please move aside." Li Hao said again.
Li Qingzheng’s face was grim, but in the end, he stepped aside.
With no more obstacles between them, the stern and intimidating face of Li Tiangang was revealed before Li Hao.
Li Tiangang said coldly, "Fifth Uncle is right. We are, after all, father and son. Although it’s too late for you to apologize now, if you do, I will spare you from torture today!"
Li Hao laughed again, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"To hell with being father and son!"
Li Hao roared.
Because of this notion, because of this thousand-year tradition of propriety, the child in his heart still had hope for the couple on the border for fourteen years.
But this tradition of propriety has led him to this dire situation, battered and bruised!
Hearing the young man’s roar, everyone’s faces changed.
Li Qingzheng was stunned, about to intervene.
But a wave of blood-red anger surged on Li Tiangang’s face, and he shouted, "You are a beast!!"
The chains on the ground suddenly shot out. The fronts of the chains were two hook-like scythes, which shot forward with deadly force.
Li Hao roared in anger, trying to resist, but with the Yin-Yang Dual Meridians drained and the Seven Stars Lighting the Lamp power dormant, his body was unusually weak. As soon as he raised his arm, the chains wrapped around him.
Two scythes suddenly pierced through, impaling his shoulder blades.
Like nailing a convict to the execution post!
The furious momentum propelled Li Hao's body to fly backward, but he was quickly yanked back and fell at Li Tiangang's feet.
"I will make you admit your fault!" Li Tiangang's eyes blazed with fury, his gaze like divine fire, cold and unforgiving.
But in the next moment, a roar erupted from the edge of the world.
"Li Tiangang!!!"
The roar had not yet reached them, but a gale already descended like a celestial pressure, sweeping through the surroundings and shaking the ruins and dust.
A figure descended in an instant, landing between the father and son, scooping up the youth from the ground and cradling him in his arms.
"Li Hao!!!"
The newcomer was Li Muxiu. He had rushed back to Qingzhou City, hoping to catch Li Hao's grand ceremony for inheriting the True Dragon, but instead, he found this scene.
With his perception, he could cover the entire city.
Looking at the youth in his arms, whose breath was faint and life nearly extinct, Li Muxiu's eyes almost bled!
His white hair fluttered without a breeze, and his eyes held a rage that had been absent for sixty years.
"Li Hao, don't be afraid, I'm back. No one will stand up for you, but Second Uncle will stand up for you!!"
Feeling the warmth of those arms, Li Hao's weariness seemed to ease.
Seeing Second Uncle's furious expression, Li Hao's lips curved into a faint smile, and he said:
"Sorry, Second Uncle. I wanted to wait until the guests left before seeking revenge, not wanting to disgrace the Li Family, but it seems I still disgraced the Li Family."
Their father-son battle, affecting Qingzhou City, would surely spread.
Hearing Li Hao's words, Li Muxiu's heart trembled. Although he didn't know what had happened, how could he misunderstand Li Hao's character after so many years of companionship, countless conversations by the lake, and shared moments?
"Li Hao, don't talk anymore. Second Uncle will stand up for you. Even if your grandfather were here today, Second Uncle would still stand up for you!!"
Li Muxiu almost gritted his teeth as he spoke.
Li Tiangang's face changed when he heard Li Muxiu's words, especially the mention of his deceased father.
His eyes flared with anger, and he said, "Second Uncle, Li Hao's character these past years has been spoiled by you, hasn't it!"
Li Muxiu gently set Li Hao down, looking at his body pierced by the chain dragon, his eyes filled with sorrow, but he dared not help Li Hao to avoid worsening his injuries.
He stood up and turned to Li Tiangang, his voice filled with fury, "Yes!!"
"So what if I spoiled him, are you going to punish me too?!"
Li Tiangang's face darkened, and he said in a grim voice, "Second Uncle! Although you are my uncle and have raised Li Hao, I am grateful. But Li Hao's indulgence has led to this, and you are partly responsible!"
"Gratitude? Who asked for your gratitude!"
Li Muxiu exploded in anger, "You and your wife guard the border. If we didn't spoil Li Hao, would you have done it?!"
Li Tiangang gritted his teeth, "Second Uncle, don't let your anger cloud your judgment. These words shouldn't be said lightly. I guard the border by imperial command and for the people of the Border Pass. Should I abandon the welfare of the common people for the sake of one son?!"
Li Muxiu's face changed. As a member of a military family, he couldn't deny this point.
Ordinary people might prioritize their families before the greater good, but they of the Divine General Manor could not.
If they did, how could there be countless other families?
"Although I don't know what happened, what could Li Hao have done to deserve such cruelty from you!"
Li Muxiu couldn't help but erupt in fury.
Li Tiangang laughed coldly, "He just inherited the True Dragon and immediately thought of killing his brother and father, relying on his Talent without restraint. He never considered that his Talent was given to him by me. Even though he hasn't awakened the Divine Blood, is there any Li Family son with inferior Talent?"
"He stands out among his peers because he carries the blood of Qing Qing and me!"
"He reached the Fifteen Li Realm at fourteen because of the Li Family's resources!"
"He can use these secret techniques because of the Li Family's cultivation methods!"
"Without the Li Family, what does he have?"
Li Muxiu roared, "He is your son! Shouldn't he enjoy these things?!"
"Besides, Li Hao hasn't consumed much of the family's resources over the years. He has achieved all this through his own efforts!"
