Li Xiaozai bowed even lower, speaking in a deep voice: "The Daoist robe of the founder was left by the ancestors of the Divine Continent, not for outsiders. The ancestral teachings set by the Li Family's forefather must not be defied. Xiaozai dares not disobey."
King Li Tang of Chujiang snorted, waved his sleeve, and saw more than twelve hundred magical treasures fly towards the Hell behind the eighteen Judges.
In Hell, one by one, the Ghost Gods of the Li Family delightedly and eagerly jumped up to snatch the magical treasures.
They had long coveted the Li Family's magical treasures. Some of these treasures were indeed crafted by them during their lifetime, but as they did not belong to the main branch, they could not bring them to the underworld after death. Now they were thrilled to have the treasures in hand.
Li Xiaozai bowed, saying: "Ancestor Li Tang, the junior implores the ancestor to take the Nine Level Hell while leaving the other Nine Level Hell to protect the Li Family."
King Li Tang of Chujiang looked grim, fixing his gaze on him, and said coldly: "Why not replace the Sect Master of the Li Family in the Mortal World?"
Li Xiaozai remained unmoved and said: "The Li Family in the Mortal World is the foundation for the Li Family in the underworld, and must never be lost. If the skin is not preserved, how can the hair attach? Please leave the Nine Level Hell behind, Ancestor!"
His expression suddenly turned stern: "The Li Family of the underworld is the dependency of the Li Family in the Mortal World; this is the rule set by successive Sect Masters. Ancestor Li Tang, are you going to defy the rules?"
He shook his sleeve, and the Daoist robe on him suddenly emitted Immortal Light, making him akin to an Immortal True descending from the heavens, bringing immense and terrifying pressure.
King Li Tang of Chujiang's expression shifted uncertainly and suddenly laughed heartily: "Everyone is in this for the Li Family, why make distinctions between the underworld and the Mortal World? Since the Sect Master of the Mortal World requests it, I'll leave the front Nine Level Hell and Ghost Gods to your command."
Li Xiaozai bowed, saying: "Thank you, Ancestor!"
Li Qianyun was drenched in cold sweat, so tense she almost couldn't breathe. She always reverentially respected the Ghost Gods of the Li Family in the underworld, considering them the forefathers of the Li Family, and even the Sect Master of the Li Family must pay great respect to these ancestors.
But this time Li Xiaozai made her see the power of the Sect Master, forcing even King Li Tang of Chujiang to yield and acknowledge the legitimacy of the Mortal World!
"This is the true Sect Master," she thought to herself.
King Li Tang of Chujiang waved his sleeve, his robes covered the sky, plunging it into darkness. When the sky restored, he had already left with the other nine Judges, disappearing without a trace.
After Li Tang and the others departed, the remaining nine Judges began to slacken, preparing to set down layer upon layer of Hell. Li Xiaozai hurriedly shouted: "Do not set down the Hell! Let's begin the ritual, all raise them up!"
The Judge of Tongue-pulling Hell, Li Tinglan, laughed: "We listen only to King Li Tang, not to you."
The Judge of Iron Tree Hell, Li Zhou, ridiculed: "You are the Sect Master of the Mortal World Li Family, we are from the underworld, you have no sway over us. Speaking of generations, you should call us Great Ancestor Ancestor Ancestor Ancestor Ancestor Ancestor Grandfather!"
The countless Ghost Gods of the Li Family burst into unchecked laughter.
"Li Xiaozai, go back to the Mortal World."
"Rest assured, we are of the same kin, we won't leave you to perish. If someone truly attacks the Li Family, we will assist!"
"Go back!"
Li Xiaozai's face turned grim, feeling for the first time the impotence akin to Yang Bi's. He quietly walked back, Li Qianyun quickly followed him, whispering: "Sect Master..."
"I'm fine."
Li Xiaozai's expression was as calm as an ancient well, and he said indifferently, "This is the responsibility of the Sect Master. Qian Yun, one day you will understand this."
He murmured: "On the day of ascending to the throne as True King, taking advantage of the attack from the Twelve Families, we seize the Twelve Families in one fell swoop. I only dare to think about it, Chen Zhenwang, do you dare to do it?"
