"A voodoo curse requires blood essence to be cast, and blood essence is usually only stored in the family's blood bank."
Li Xuan spoke slowly.
These were all things he had specifically learned about before.
As the number one family in the capital, the Li family has bloodline essence collected at birth and strictly guarded as long as the child has family blood, whether it is direct or collateral line.
Those who can obtain the blood essence of my aunt must either be in a high position of power or have a noble status in the family.
"Aunt, you should have a few guesses in your mind."
Li Xuan said that at this point, he felt that he had the ability to find out the truth of what happened back then, and it was time to settle accounts with those people.
Listening to his words, Li Yun immediately fell into memories, which were memories that she had deliberately suppressed and not recalled over the years.
When she was young, she was as high-spirited as Li Xuan. At that time, she was dressed in white, had extraordinary talent in archery, and was one of the most dazzling prodigies in the Li family.
No matter where she goes, she always shines with her own brilliance. She is a favored girl admired by young talents from all walks of life.
However, Li Xuan had never seen any of these. In his vague memories, he remembered that his aunt was lively and lively when she was a child, and was always so bright and beautiful.
He is completely different from the person he appears to be in daily contact with.
Although my aunt still shows some of her former charm in battle, she is like a pearl covered in dust, no longer as high-spirited as she used to be.
From being a top-notch prodigy to becoming an ordinary housewife, not everyone can bear such a transformation.
"That was a long time ago. I'm afraid you don't remember what happened back then." Li Yun looked a little struggling.
With such a huge change, she could only seal up all the memories of that year so that she could persevere.
But she had never been willing to accept this. She was cursed by the demons, unable to use her strength and had to become a mortal. How could she swallow the anger in her heart?
However, at that time, I was the only one left in my family, and Li Xuan and Ke Xin were still young and needed someone to take care of them.
Otherwise, she would have rushed to the Li family to ask for an explanation regardless of everything.
"Back then, my talent was quite good, and thanks to your father's influence, I was hailed as one of the five greatest geniuses of the Li family."
"It's just that we were both side branches of the Li family back then. No matter how talented I was, I wouldn't have made it to the top five. But your father was so incredibly talented that he was even designated as the next head of the family."
"So, under his influence, I was selected as one of the five great geniuses, enjoying the treatment and various resources of the Li family's top geniuses."
Li Xuan nodded slightly as he listened. This was the first time he knew about these things.
As Li Yun was speaking, his eyes suddenly dimmed. "But not long after he was designated as the head of the family, an accident happened. A demon wormhole appeared, and he sacrificed his life to protect it."
So that's how it is...
Li Xuan already knew the cause of his father's death, but he didn't expect it to happen shortly after he was designated as the next head of the family.
"If something happened at this critical moment, even a fool could see something was wrong. But the mastermind behind this was so clean that nothing could be seen. It seems your father died in the demon invasion!"
Li Yun turned and looked at Li Xuan.
Li Xuan thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, "The mastermind behind this must be connected to the demons. He's either a demon spy or a traitor to the human race!"
That’s what I thought at the time... Li Yun continued:
"But at the time, the head of the Li family personally investigated the matter and said it was just an accident. With his mental strength and means, if there were any signs of collusion with the demons, he would not have been able to hide them."
"What if the patriarch is the mastermind behind this, or if the mastermind has an unusual relationship with the patriarch? Or if he's unwilling to expose this for the sake of the family's overall well-being?"
Li Xuan's idea is bold, but it can explain the reason.
If the mastermind is from the family head's lineage, or if the mastermind is extremely important to the Li family.
So, after weighing the pros and cons, will the head of the family shake the foundation of the Li family for the sake of a deceased designated head of the family?
Listening to Li Xuan's words, Li Yun's expression changed repeatedly. Yes, at that time she didn't even dare to think about it.
"It's just that this happened so long ago that there's no way to investigate it now." Li Yun sighed.
Sooner or later, I will figure it out... Li Xuan thought to himself.
"Auntie, let's not get too far off topic. Where is the person who caused you to be cursed by voodoo?"
At this point, Li Yun's eyes dimmed again. "Not long after your father passed away, the Li family discovered a secret cave that can refine one's physique, enhancing the attributes of future career upgrades."
The attributes improved after each profession is upgraded are different. Even some of the same rare professions will be different due to innate constitution and acquired changes.
Every time Li Xuan gains a level, the attributes he gains far exceed those of other professions, so he can possess such powerful combat power across levels.
Of course, this is also partly due to attribute plunder, which is obtained after killing a target for the first time.
Therefore, this secret cave that can enhance physical fitness is of vital importance to the geniuses of the human race.
"Only four people can enter this secret cave. At that time, I was ranked fourth among the Li family's geniuses. However, due to the influence of your father's recent death, those direct descendants' geniuses didn't dare to openly snatch this spot away."
"But just before entering the secret cave, I discovered that I had been cursed by voodoo and could no longer use my strength."
Li Yun's tone was very calm, as if she was talking about someone else's affairs. Perhaps after so many years of baptism, the resentment in her heart had long been washed away.
But I'm afraid only she herself knows how much pain she went through in this process.
"Who took your place?"
Li Xuan asked immediately.
"Li Mengdie was one of the five great geniuses at the time. Although her talent ranked last, she was from the family head's lineage, the most legitimate of the legitimate lines."
She always kept this name in her heart and never forgot it.
"Some time ago, I saw on the news that she has become the president of the Li Chamber of Commerce, in charge of the entire family's business and in charge of the family's internal affairs. She is considered half the boss of the Li family."
Li Yun said with a sigh.
Li Mengdie, whose talent was one level lower than his own back then, has become a big shot, while he has become an ordinary person who is unable to use his strength.
It's really fate!
If the Li family had not discovered that secret cave, or if the head of the family had directly chosen Li Mengdie to replace him, perhaps he would not have been cursed by voodoo.
