Chapter 43: Stormy
In Yurun Palace, the broken decorations and chairs were replaced, and the interior was once again magnificent and luxurious.
Sun Nuoer stood on the second-floor balcony, her proud figure looming in the light, with a hazy beauty that made people feel itchy.
The sounds of fighting at the Li Mansion on the next street gradually subsided, and Sun Nuoer let out a sigh.
"What's wrong, Nuo'er, do you really like that person?" Palace Master Yurun is an experienced person. Since ancient times, heroes have loved beauties, and beauties have also been deeply attracted to strong men.
Li Wudao may not be good-looking, but he is a true young hero!
Sun Nuo'er did not answer Palace Master Yurun's words, but the sadness between her brows revealed her thoughts.
"You are my daughter. If you want something, you should take the initiative. You are no worse than others!" Palace Master Yurun is Sun Nuoer's mother, and now she is guiding her daughter.
Sun Nuoer's beautiful eyes instantly lit up, and she nodded and made up her mind.
At Li Mansion on the main street of Yilong Town, the battle subsided. Li Wudao won a great victory without losing a single person.
"Oh! Victory!"
"I killed three of them. I'm the best!"
"Sister Aoi is awesome!"
The twenty-four guards ran around happily; this was childish nature, and it couldn't be suppressed. But thinking of their outstanding performance in this battle, Li Wudao let them go.
All the members of the Li family were expelled, and now the Li Mansion is under Ge Ren's control.
While the children were playing and fighting, Li Wudao and others came to the main hall of the Li Mansion to count the spoils together.
The entire Li Mansion covers a large area. It is a horizontal strip of buildings protected by a ten-foot-high wall. From a distance, it looks like a sleeping dragon.
This mansion is worth ten thousand taels, which is a huge fortune.
"Two low-grade martial arts books, five low-grade martial arts, three mid-grade martial arts, thirteen thousand taels of silver, and some other medicinal herbs and pills, worth two thousand taels." Qi Meng was counting the harvest, and Li Wudao considerately poured her a cup of tea.
Thirteen thousand taels of silver!
This was a huge gain. Even when Li Wudao was at his richest, he only had half of this wealth. Now that he had razed the Li family, his net worth had doubled.
"The Li family is too rich!"
"Warriors always spend a lot of money. After squandering it all, I still have so much money."
At the wooden table in the hall, several people were talking, with excited expressions on their faces.
"You all have worked hard, so give one thousand taels each!" Li Wudao gave one thousand taels each to the shopkeeper Qian and the Luo Yuan couple, which instantly made them smile.
They risked their lives for Li Wudao, so Li Wudao would naturally not treat them unfairly.
"Now that we have destroyed the Li family, I'm afraid the Sun family and the Zhao family will take action." Manager Qian's eyes were cautious. Once the two major families took advantage of their unstable foothold and attacked together, the situation would be very unfavorable.
"For the time being, please ask the girl to contact Yurun Palace. We only need to stabilize one of the two families." Li Wudao had already made up his mind and said calmly: "Give me seven days to consolidate my cultivation. After seven days, I will destroy the Zhao family!"
Seven days later, destroy the Zhao family again!
Although his strength increased, Li Wudao became more and more domineering. His goal was not just to destroy one family, but to wipe out all three families and avenge Qi Meng's father.
Several people gasped when they heard this. They didn't expect that Li Wudao was so ambitious. He even had a plan in place to make Qi Meng the most beautiful courtesan so that she could get through the possible dangerous period.
"Okay!" Qi Meng didn't understand why Li Wudao wanted to deal with the three major families, but she still nodded obediently and helped Li Wudao achieve his hegemony.
"Although I am not a good person, the three major families are worse than me. I have disliked them for a long time. Let's kill them!" Luo Yuan's beard trembled and he was very excited.
Li Wudao responded to the call and decided to attack the Zhao family in seven days!
The overnight demise of the Li family, one of the three great families, was a shocking event in the small town. Some applauded, others fell into deep thought, and some even worried about the increased taxes on their shops.
However, after Li Wudao destroyed the Li family, taxes were reduced instead, which immediately made those people feel relieved and support Ge Ren with both hands.
Many people didn’t know who Li Wudao was before, but now he became famous overnight and everyone knows him.
The Zhao family was resolute, declaring they would unite with Yurun Palace to destroy Li Wudao. However, Yurun Palace remained ambiguous and refused to respond to the Zhao family, which was puzzling.
For a while, Yilong Town was in turmoil, and there seemed to be a storm on the horizon.
Seven days passed in a flash. Li Wudao had been practicing all the time. His realm was completely stabilized, his sea of true qi was full of true qi, and his combat power reached an unprecedented peak.
In the courtyard of the Li family mansion, there were three large barrels of medicinal herbs being boiled. Li Wudao, Manager Qian, and Luo Yuan and his wife were staring at the barrels.
"Will this really work?" Shopkeeper Qian looked surprised.
"By swallowing the medicinal soup, the children can break through to the Bitter Sea Realm and achieve a perfect physical body? This is too unbelievable!" Luo Yuan frowned, thinking that Li Wudao was joking.
The Guardians of Doom have unique physical skills, and Li Wudao’s memories of his previous life did not mention the level of their physical skills.
By practicing the Doomsday Guardian Body Technique, one can not only absorb the power of the five elements between heaven and earth through practice, but also directly absorb treasures rich in the power of the five elements.
Now Li Wudao is brewing three barrels of wood-attributed medicinal soup, just to allow the Guardian of Doom to quickly break through to the Bitter Sea Realm and achieve a perfect physical body!
"I've never heard of it before, and I've never seen it before." Wen Qing said frankly.
Ordinary body cultivators also use medicinal soup to speed up their cultivation, but they have never heard of using medicinal soup directly to improve their realm.
"Greetings, Master!"
Led by Qi Meng, the twenty-four guards came to the courtyard and saluted Li Wudao together.
Looking at the energetic children in front of him, Li Wudao smiled.
Under the guidance of Li Wudao, the twenty-four guards drank the medicinal soup and started sitting cross-legged to refine the medicinal power.
"Spending three thousand taels of silver must have some effect!" Qi Meng was a little obsessed with money. She pulled Li Wudao's sleeve and muttered.
Li Wudao looked at the twenty-four guards expectantly. He felt that this deal was a good deal as three thousand taels of silver could be exchanged for a group of great-achieving physical warriors in the Bitter Sea Realm.
Under the expectant gaze of everyone, an hour passed quietly. Just when Qi Meng was about to yawn out of boredom, the twenty-four guards opened their eyes at the same time.
A powerful aura emanated from the young children. They knelt on one knee and shouted to Li Wudao, "Thank you, Master, for the medicine. We have fulfilled your mission!"
"This... has actually broken through!"
"What's the principle behind this? Aren't all external martial arts training processes slow?"
Everyone looked at the Twenty-Four Guards in shock. In the Li family mansion, these children completed their transformation overnight.
Although they are still childish, they have resolute expressions and each of them has the fighting power to tear tigers and leopards apart at such a young age!
"Alright!" Li Wudao also became a little excited. He looked at the twenty-four guards and said, "Get ready. We're going to take down the Zhao family today!"
It is not yet noon, and Li Wudao has people send delicious food, intending to destroy the Zhao family in one afternoon.
