Started out getting scumbags, but then invested in the invincible Empress.

Chapter 82: A great Confucian scholar will debate the classics for me!

Li Wudao was chatting with Wang Zhao, Qiu Zishi, and a few others in a very harmonious atmosphere.

Everyone gained quite a bit from this trip to the secret realm, and the resources they obtained are enough to last them for a while.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, a chill ran through him, and he felt inexplicably panicked.

Li Wudao frowned slightly, that familiar sense of crisis from before had returned!

"System... System... Requesting support!"

"Is it possible to find the source of this crisis?"

After experiencing this inexplicable chill several times, he couldn't take it anymore and directly sent a system request for help.

As a result, no matter how hard he tried, he received no response.

System, system, please help!

Li Wudao cried out in his heart, somewhat urgently.

"Damn system, it fails at crucial moments, it's utterly useless..."

After waiting for a long time without a reply, the boy couldn't help but start cursing.

[Ding! Host has been detected speaking rudely. First warning!]

[If this happens again, the reward will be reduced.]

"........."

Li Wudao was speechless.

Are you kidding me? Why are you pulling this stunt at a time like this?

Forget it, it’s better to rely on yourself than to rely on others.

Thinking of this, he shook his head, opened his double pupils and looked around, hoping to find the source of the crisis.

Unbeknownst to them,

The boy's gaze swept across the Thunderfire Sect, finally settling on a particular boy.

At this moment, Ren Zezheng looked towards the Xuan Tian Sect with a complicated expression, his eyes revealing both anticipation and a hint of trepidation.

He didn't seem to see Qi Xingyu. Could it be that he really died in the secret realm?

The next moment, their eyes met, and they glanced at each other.

Seeing the other person's anxious and questioning eyes, Li Wudao nodded slightly and gave him a meaningful smile.

Seeing this, Ren Ze blinked gratefully, a look of relief on his face.

After so many years, the thorn that had been lurking in my heart has finally been removed.

He finally avenged his sister, though he didn't do it himself, but at least he had a weight lifted off his shoulders.

Now, he really wanted to drink and chat with Li Wudao for three days and three nights, until they were drunk.

Given the current situation, we can only pretend we don't know each other and wait for another opportunity.

Just as the two were exchanging glances,

The leaders of the Lingwu Sect and the Leihuo Sect, their faces as black as charcoal, were carefully examining the suspects.

It doesn't matter whether the other disciples live or die, but martial arts geniuses in their twenties are rare finds, each one a precious gem, and we must find out the truth.

With their own peak master backing them up,

The disciples of both sects immediately complained bitterly, pointing the finger at Li Wudao and revealing all the dirty tricks he had played in the secret realm.

Soon,

The peak masters of Lingwu Sect and Leihuo Sect looked rather grim.

How could a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy cause such a disturbance that the disciples of both sects could not have peace?

In particular, when he heard that the other party had even stripped off his clothes, leaving him only in his underwear, he felt even more shocked and angry.

You know, before, Xuan Tian Sect disciples were only ever the ones being robbed, but now they've turned against the Heavenly Gang?!

Upon hearing this, one family was overjoyed while two families were filled with sorrow.

Compared to the defeated Lingwu and Leihuo sects, the Xuantian sect members were in high spirits and all cast "well done" glances at Li Wudao.

This scene caused the Lingwu Sect Peak Master's lips to twitch slightly, and he finally could not suppress the anger in his heart.

"Kid, tell me honestly, did you kill Zhong Shan and Wei Kangping?"

He stared intently at Li Wudao, his gaze icy.

The Thunderfire Sect Peak Master also cast a scrutinizing gaze upon them. This was the same question he wanted to ask, but out of consideration for face, he couldn't bring himself to ask it directly.

The atmosphere became tense for a moment, and all eyes were on Li Wudao, with varying expressions.

Facing pressure from all sides,

The boy glanced at him, his expression unchanged, and sneered, "Old man, are you a weathervane? You believe everything you hear. Be careful, or I'll sue you for defamation."

"you......"

Upon hearing these mocking words, the peak master of the Lingwu Sect trembled with rage, gritting his teeth as he said, "Are you blind? I've just turned fifty this year!"

Although he wasn't exactly handsome, he had a full head of black hair and was in his prime; he just didn't seem to fit in with an old man.

Li Wudao responded with an "oh".

"See? You get anxious even when I say that."

Immediately, he spread his hands and grinned, saying:

"So you can't just say things like that. Everything requires evidence. They keep saying that I killed them, but who witnessed it? Is there any real evidence?"

Upon hearing this, the Lingwu Sect Peak Master's expression froze, and he was speechless for a moment.

Damn it, we've fallen into their trap! This kid was waiting for him here!

"Did any of you witness this boy committing the crime?"

After a moment of silence, he suppressed his anger and asked his disciples.

The Thunderfire Sect's peak master followed suit, hoping someone would step forward and get to the bottom of this matter.

However, no one responded for a long time.

The disciples from both sects stood there, stammering, unable to utter a single word.

What a joke! If they could see the murderer, they wouldn't have left the secret realm alive; they would have been killed with a single sword strike long ago.

However, some of the disciples who had been abducted by Li Wudao, filled with resentment, stepped forward one after another, unanimously believing that the boy was the most suspicious.

Upon seeing the three disciples of the Spirit Martial Sect, the expressions of the Xuan Tian Sect members immediately turned cold.

The other party had robbed them not long ago, and now they dared to verbally attack Li Wudao. How could he hold back? He immediately retorted.

"Brother Li may be talented, but you can't fabricate facts and slander him out of thin air."

"You bunch of bastards, you still have the nerve to yell? You weren't like this when you were robbing us in the secret realm. Don't you find it laughable that you're playing the victim now?"

Several Xuantian Sect disciples who had been robbed were indignant.

If it weren't for the chance encounter with Li Wudao and his help, I probably wouldn't have survived.

"Hmph, if you're determined to find fault, you can always find a reason. I think they're just jealous of Brother Li's good looks..."

Wang Zhao grumbled.

In his eyes, it didn't matter whether Li Wudao was the one who did it.

In short, no one can hurt his good "godfather".

Beside him, Li Wudao nodded with some satisfaction, giving him a look that said, "Good brother understands me."

Haha, he doesn't even need to explain; a great Confucian scholar will naturally defend him!

The boy was secretly pleased; his newly adopted eldest son was indeed a good son, and his words were always pleasing to the ear.

He decided that after returning this time, it would be necessary to give Wang Zhao some more benefits.

At this time,

Even Du Quan, the peak master of Ziyun Peak, couldn't stand it any longer and loudly rebuked the two peak masters, saying:

"You two are supposed to be the leaders of a peak, yet you can't see that Li is only at the late stage of the True Yuan Realm?"

Upon hearing this, the peak masters of Lingwu Sect and Leihuo Sect scrutinized Li Wudao closely, their expressions gradually changing.

As expected, Li Wudao's aura was only at the late True Yuan Realm level.

Honestly, with such cultivation, even with exceptional talent, the idea of ​​killing a Martial Grandmaster in one strike is nothing short of a pipe dream.

"Speak up, you two old bastards! Why are you mute now?"

Du Quan questioned him, feeling a surge of satisfaction.

Having been subservient to the two sects for so long, the pent-up resentment in his heart has finally been released.

"......"

The entire room fell silent; no one spoke.

Now that things have come to this, few people doubt Li Wudao anymore.

Even if there is evidence, it's all for naught if you can't produce actual proof; it won't do you any good.

however,

Three people, however, kept glancing at the boy with thoughtful expressions, as if they had noticed something.

One of them was Jiang Churan.

Not long ago, she witnessed Li Wudao kill a mid-stage Martial Grandmaster demon beast with a single sword strike, so she naturally believed that the latter had this strength.

Thinking of the lineage of Venerable Panlei, she couldn't help but wonder if Zhongshan and Wei Kangping were really killed by Li Wudao.

"No wonder that guy didn't dare show his face back then..."

Thinking of this, the girl glanced at him strangely, muttering to herself.

The second person is Ren Ze.

He had followed Li Wudao and witnessed him lull Zhongshan to sleep with a single move; the baby-like sleep he experienced there remained a vivid memory for him.

To be honest, he couldn't think of anyone else with such strength besides the latter.

The third person is the leader of Lieyang Peak.

The images transmitted by the Twin Mirrors clearly recorded the scene of Li Wudao forcefully killing Qi Xingyu.

Cheng Yuanliang stood in the corner, his eyes narrowed, his killing intent growing stronger.

Whether Li Wudao was hiding his strength or not was irrelevant to him; in the face of absolute crushing power, it was all just fluff.

This time, even if the opponent is King Wu, he will not escape death!
