97: Chapter 97 Han-Li Confrontation

Li Family Council Hall.

Patriarch Li Beicang stood up, his Aura as a 6-star Martial Saint vast like an abyss and deep as the sea. He glanced at Li Beixiong, who was still on the verge of rage, and said in a deep voice: "I am going to the Han Family."

Han Ming was a member of the Han Family and had destroyed Li Tianci's Dantian. This debt had to be settled with the Han Family. Cutting flesh directly from the Han Family was more practical than killing a mere Han Ming.

Patriarch Li Beicang took two Martial Saint Elders, soared into the air, and flew toward the Han Family.

Above Modu Base City, the Auras of the Martial Saint experts were undisguised. Countless people along the way looked up and discussed it heatedly.

"Are those people from the Li Family? Where are they going?"

"That direction... it's the Han Family! What is the Li Family trying to do?"

"The Li Family's Genius, Li Tianci, had his Dantian destroyed at Modu Martial Arts University by someone named Han Ming. It is said that Han Ming is a Bloodline of the Han Family that was lost outside. It seems the Li Family is going to the Han Family to demand an explanation."

"Indeed! I didn't expect Han Tianxiong to still be alive, and to have given birth to such a Prodigy of a grandson. This is going to be a good show."

Many forces in Modu felt the Aura of the Li Family experts and began to discuss it one after another.

The grudge between the Li Family and the Han Family was no secret in Modu.

Han Family, Main Hall.

Han Tianlin also felt Patriarch Li Beicang's Aura. He sat steadily in the main seat, his expression calm.

On both sides sat several Martial Saint-level Elders of the Han Family, their Auras imposing.

"Patriarch Li Beicang has arrived." Han Tianlin smiled faintly, showing no signs of nervousness.

As soon as he finished speaking, three figures descended from the sky and landed outside the Han Family's main gate. It was indeed the Li Family group.

Patriarch Li Beicang strode into the main hall, his gaze like a blade.

"Han Tianlin, your Han Family member destroyed my grandnephew's Dantian. How shall we settle this account?"

Han Tianlin picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said unhurriedly: "On the arena, fists and feet have no eyes. Li Tianci was not as skilled as others, who can he blame?"

Patriarch Li Beicang's Face sank: "Are you shirking responsibility?"

"Not shirking." Han Tianlin put down the teacup and looked at him. "I am reasoning with you. Li Tianci challenged Han Ming, lost, and had his Dantian destroyed. These are the rules of the challenge arena, which haven't changed for five hundred years. If your Li Family is not convinced, you can go to Modu Martial Arts University to change the rules."

Patriarch Li Beicang's knuckles cracked as he clenched his fists. Change the rules? Could their Li Family change the rules of Modu Martial Arts University?

"Han Tianlin, I don't want to bicker with you about this." Patriarch Li Beicang took a deep breath, suppressing his anger. "Han Ming is a member of your Han Family. He destroyed Li Tianci's Dantian, so the Han Family must provide an explanation. One Earth-Grade Purple Heart Lotus, ten Xuan-Grade Spirit Medicines, plus one billion Spirit Stones. These are the Li Family's conditions."

Han Tianlin let out a cold laugh upon hearing this.

This Patriarch Li Beicang was simply asking for an exorbitant price.

An Earth-Grade Purple Heart Lotus was the primary Spirit Medicine for repairing a Dantian, and one billion Spirit Stones might not even be enough to buy one. And they also wanted ten Xuan-Grade Spirit Medicines, plus one billion Spirit Stones?

It was simply a daydream.

General Spirit Medicines were divided into first to ninth grade. Above the ninth grade were higher-level Spirit Medicines, categorized as Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Yellow.

Above the Heaven-Grade were Divine Medicines, though no one had ever seen them.

"Patriarch Li Beicang, have you forgotten what the Li Family paid back when your brother Li Beixiong shattered my third brother's Dantian in the street?"

Patriarch Li Beicang's pupils constricted slightly.

"One ninth-grade Spirit Medicine, ten eighth-grade Spirit Medicines, and one million Spirit Stones." Han Tianlin stood up, his voice cold. "Now that your grandson's Dantian has been destroyed, you come to me asking for Earth-Grade Spirit Medicine? Patriarch Li Beicang, isn't your Li Family taking itself too seriously?"

"Or do you think our Han Family is easy to bully?"

As he spoke, Han Tianlin stood up, looking at Patriarch Li Beicang with sharp eyes, his 7-star Martial Saint Aura pressing down on him without reservation.

The other Martial Saint Elders also stood up one after another, looking at Patriarch Li Beicang unkindly.

"You... you have broken through to a 7-star Martial Saint?"

Patriarch Li Beicang stepped back, looking at Han Tianlin in shock, and called out in surprise.

Originally, Han Tianlin's strength was on par with his, both at 6-star Martial Saint. He didn't expect him to have broken through a step faster than himself.

Each star in the Martial Saint realm was like a heaven; it was incredibly difficult to break through, so he couldn't help but be shocked.

"Is... is this Han Tianlin's Aura? He has broken through to a 7-star Martial Saint?"

"Hiss... Once Han Tianlin breaks through, the Han Family's strength rises to another level. It seems the structure of the five great families in Modu is about to change again."

Many experts paying attention to the situation also felt Han Tianlin's Aura and were discussing it one after another.

"This is all thanks to my grandnephew destroying Li Tianci's Dantian. I was so happy in my heart that I accidentally broke through, hahaha..."

Seeing Patriarch Li Beicang's ugly expression, Han Tianlin laughed triumphantly.

"You—!"

Hearing this, Patriarch Li Beicang was furious and couldn't speak, pointing at Han Tianlin.

The two Li Family Martial Saints behind him also had very ugly expressions. If they weren't unable to defeat them, they would have loved to tear Han Tianlin's Face apart.

"What about me? Don't say I didn't give your Li Family Face. Take these as compensation for Han Ming destroying Li Tianci's Dantian."

Saying this, he took out a fifth-grade Spirit Medicine, ten fourth-grade Breakthrough Pills, and ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones from his storage ring and threw them in front of Patriarch Li Beicang.

Patriarch Li Beicang's Face was livid. This was humiliation, naked humiliation.

"Han Tianlin, are you sure you want to do this?"

"What? Think it's too little? If your Li Family isn't convinced, feel free to start a war. Our Han Family will accompany you to the end."

Han Tianlin looked down at Patriarch Li Beicang, speaking domineeringly.

In the main hall, the Han Family's Martial Saint Elders looked at Patriarch Li Beicang and his group simultaneously, their Auras pressing down like a mountain.

The two Martial Saints behind Patriarch Li Beicang also released their Auras. The two sides confronted each other, with swords drawn and bows bent.

"Good, very good." Patriarch Li Beicang gritted his teeth, not even looking at the items on the ground, and turned to leave with long strides.

Walking out the gate, he looked back at Han Tianlin, "Han Tianlin, the Li Family will remember today's events."

"Go slowly, I won't see you out." Han Tianlin sat back down and picked up his teacup.

The three Li Family members soared into the air and disappeared into the sky.

Modu, Gu Family.

Gu Qingcheng stood by the window, looking at the garden outside. Her makeup was exquisite, and her Face, though over sixty years old, looked like that of a woman in her thirties.

Behind her, a middle-aged beautiful woman whispered: "Young Miss, the news is confirmed. The Young Master's Dantian was destroyed, and the one who did it was none other than Han Tianxiong's grandson, Han Ming."

Gu Qingcheng's fingers trembled slightly.

Han Tianxiong, that waste from the Han Family whose engagement she had broken off. So many years had passed, and she thought he had already died outside. She didn't expect him to be alive, and to have given birth to such a Genius grandson.

"Han Tianxiong..." Gu Qingcheng murmured, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

She was not without guilt regarding what happened back then. But in the world of Martial Dao, the strong are respected. How could she, Gu Qingcheng, with her talent, marry a waste with a D-Rank Talent?

Later, although she married Li Beixiong, she rarely stayed at the Li Family and only met Li Beixiong occasionally.

"Young Miss, the Family Head says, do not interfere in this matter for now. The Li Family will naturally handle it." The maid whispered.

Gu Qingcheng did not answer, just stood there, looking at the garden outside, silent for a long time.

Modu Tianwu Hospital.

Li Tianci lay on the hospital bed, his Face as pale as paper. His Dantian was shattered, and he couldn't feel a trace of True Yuan in his body. That feeling of falling from the clouds into the abyss made him go crazy.

"Dad! Help me kill Han Ming!" Li Tianci roared hoarsely, his eyes full of resentment, "I want him dead! I want his whole Family dead!"

Li Weifeng stood by the bed, watching his son's miserable state, his heart aching.

He was the only son of Li Beixiong and Gu Qingcheng, with S-grade Talent and Peak Martial Emperor cultivation.

"Tianci, calm down." Li Weifeng's voice was hoarse, "Han Ming is a member of the Han Family, and your grandfather is already handling it. This matter cannot be rushed."

"Cannot be rushed?" Li Tianci widened his eyes, "My Dantian is shattered! You want me to calm down?"

Li Weifeng was silent for a moment.

"Dad, I don't care!" Li Tianci continued to roar, "I want Han Ming dead! Go and kill him right now!"

"Enough!" Li Weifeng shouted in a low voice, "The Han Family has a Peak Martial Saint Old Ancestor guarding them, do you want me to go and die?"

Li Tianci was stunned by the shout, his eyes full of disbelief. From childhood to adulthood, his father had never spoken to him loudly.

"Wait." Li Weifeng took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions, "Wait for an opportunity. Han Ming cannot hide in Modu Martial Arts University forever. Once he comes out, it will be his death date."

Li Tianci gritted his teeth and said nothing. In his eyes, a flame of resentment was burning.

Modu Martial Arts University.

The news that Han Ming was a member of the Modu Han Family spread quickly.

"Did you hear? Han Ming is from the Modu Han Family! That very Han Family!"

"No wonder he is such a Prodigy, it turns out he is the Bloodline of the Han Family lost outside!"

"No wonder he dared to destroy Li Tianci; he has the Han Family backing him!"

"The Han Family and the Li Family have always been at odds; it's going to be even more lively now."

"Do you think the Han Family and the Li Family will fight?"

"Fight? Impossible. The higher-ups won't allow a war between families with Peak Martial Saint levels. However, there will certainly be no shortage of secret tricks."

The discussions rose and fell, and the name Han Ming once again became the focus of Modu Martial Arts University.

Li Xuewei walked on campus, hearing those discussions, and stood there blankly.

Han Ming... is from the Modu Han Family?

A trace of inferiority flashed in Li Xuewei's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination. Her SS-Rank Profound Ice Spirit Body was not bad either; she must work hard to keep up with his footsteps.

Lin Fan and Gong Shuting were also very surprised, not expecting that Han Ming, who came from the same Jiangbei, had such a background.
