There is no Pan in the world anymore

When Li Tan returned to his residence, he opened a cabinet that had been sealed for a long time, revealing a madman lying inside like a dead dog.

His hair was messy, as if he had scratched it vigorously with his hands; his clothes were askew, both sleeves were empty, and even his legs were somewhat bent.

If an uninformed disciple were to see this, they would surely think Li Tan had some peculiar habits.

This person, who looked like a madman, was none other than...

“Li Yasi”

“Oh, still alive?”

As he spoke, Li Tan had already lifted him out with one hand and casually tossed him onto the room’s floor.

“This Grain Abstinence Pill is truly remarkable; after such a long time, Li Yasi has no excretions whatsoever.”

Li Tan kicked Li Yasi with his leg in surprise. Seeing no reaction, he increased the force.

With a cry of pain, Li Yasi also woke up in a daze. He was like a startled bird, frantically surveying his surroundings.

Then he saw that face, so familiar yet so loathsome!

“Villain, what more do you want?!”

Before the words even fell, he saw Li Tan’s empty sleeves. The next moment, he beamed with joy, his remaining two legs bouncing back and forth excitedly.

“Indeed, the Heavenly Dao has Reincarnation! Evil begets evil! Those with malicious intentions will not die well!”

“This is your retribution, villain!”

His words were filled with indignant passion and excitement, his entire being so happy that he couldn’t suppress the corners of his mouth.

“Li Yasi, after my long observation, you have no trump cards left.”

Li Tan looked down at him from above, his attitude arrogant, his eyes filled with coldness and killing intent, his tightly clenched right fist further solidifying his resolve to kill at any moment.

“Now you have no way to ascend to Heaven, no door to enter the earth. Speak your final value; perhaps I can let you linger for a few more days.”

As soon as Li Tan finished speaking, the Blood Thorn Blade in his hand appeared. The blade emitted a scorching fire, and even the slightest leak of its aura caused Li Yasi to scream in pain.

......

Under the threat of death, people are fragile. Only a small portion of people can recognize their “Heart” and embark on their own path.

Those with an unsteady Heart cannot walk far on the Dao. Only those who clearly understand why they live can walk further on the Cultivation Dao.

And every Cultivator who can recognize their Dao is a favored child of Heaven. Their lives are all brilliant and magnificent, full of legendary color.

Perhaps they are very small, but they will surely illuminate all directions! The moment they affirmed their Dao, they had already broken through the shackles of death and were no longer slaves to death.

“They will, of course, die, but they do not fear death. The fear of death has long been cast aside by them....”

.............

Li Yasi faced external pressure, and ocean-like fear completely filled his mind. The trembling from the depths of his Soul made him nowhere to escape.

He felt his body stiffen, or rather, he couldn’t move. His tense muscles were identical to his tense nerves.

The threat of death caused the thoughts in his mind to collide wildly, trying to find a shred of leverage from within.

From Li Tan’s perspective, looking at Li Yasi, who was dominated by fear, his stiff body remained motionless like a statue.

Li Tan couldn’t help but sigh. He hadn’t extracted any useful information, so Li Yasi was of no use. Just as he was about to eliminate this hidden danger,

Li Yasi suddenly screamed like a madman, tears and snot streaming down his face, and a faint stench permeated the air.

“I remember! I remember!”

“I have news of the Li Family Old Ancestor!”

Li Tan’s thoughts collided, and his mind surged: “This Li Yasi can truly give me an unexpected surprise. It’s like someone giving a pillow when you’re sleepy.”

At the same time, Li Tan put away the Blood Thorn Blade and spoke leisurely with a harmonious expression:

“Li Yasi, congratulations on surviving! Tell me the news you know.”

The disheveled Li Yasi had a look of relief after escaping disaster. His back was already soaked with cold sweat. At that moment! He had once believed he was doomed.

“Before my mother went to the Secret Realm, she told me a piece of news! It was to make me wary of the Li Family Old Ancestor in the future!”

Li Tan frowned, a displeased expression on his face: “Get to the point; I’m not interested in your experiences!”

Facing the strong and overbearing Li Tan, Li Yasi, a mere Mortal, could naturally only comply.

“My mother said! The former Li Family did not have the position of Old Ancestor! There were only three Clan Chiefs!”

“They were the current Li Family Old Ancestor, Grand Elder Li Nianhua, and Second Elder Li Yong. The three of them once jointly managed the internal affairs of the Li Family. Their relationship was even deeper than brothers, a bond of life and death!”

Hearing Li Yasi reveal such news, Li Tan beside him immediately became interested and eagerly urged him to speak slowly.

“However, an incident occurred that caused the three of them to become Mortal enemies when they met again in the future!”

“At that time, all three were Cultivators at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, with comparable strength, but Li Nianhua discovered a medicinal herb that could enhance strength!”

“It seems that because of a woman’s betrayal, the Li Family Old Ancestor went to seize it!”

“During that time, he wanted to kill Li Nianhua, but at a critical moment, Li Yong went and coincidentally saved Li Nianhua’s life.”

Li Tan nodded slightly. Cultivators inherently seize the fortune of Heaven and Earth to forge their supreme cultivation! Killing people and seizing treasures is human nature.

“To seize someone’s Opportunity is like killing their parents!”

If there truly was an Opportunity to improve one’s cultivation, turning against each other would be a perfectly normal minor matter.

“I never thought there was such a relationship between these three Elders. The waters of this Li Family are truly unfathomable, from a tripartite standoff to one person dominating!”

“How interesting!”

Immediately, Li Tan instructed the maid to bring in some good food and drink. With Li Yasi’s appearance, he naturally wouldn’t be recognized; he would only be seen as a captive captured by Li Tan.

Li Yasi, without hands, knelt on his legs and began to devour the food in front of him.

Li Yasi’s life was no longer important. Second Elder Li Yong single-mindedly wanted to leave this cannibalistic Li Family.

Since he had already recognized Li Tan, why would he change his mind at the last minute? To choose a Mortal who had lost both arms.

Even if this was his most beloved grandson! The resources invested and the results obtained were not proportional. Who to choose? He must have known clearly in his heart.

“Li Yasi, you should know that you have been abandoned. Why not accept reality? Join me?”

Hearing Li Tan’s taunt, the downcast Li Yasi stopped his wolfing down of food, his eyes constantly darting over him.

“Do you think I would be your dog?”

Li Tan was full of surprise: “But this can save your life. Don’t you want to live?”

......

“But would that still be me? That wouldn’t be Li Yasi, that would be a Puppet.”

“I once saw that Puppets are controlled by threads, but Puppets will eventually age, while the person behind them can replace countless Puppets.”

Li Tan frowned slightly, killing intent surging in his heart.

“You will never understand, because you are a cold-blooded Devil Head. I can already see it in your eyes....”

Li Yasi looked at Li Tan with a foolish smile, no one knew what he was mocking.

“Hahahahaha, I am greedy for life and afraid of death, I am dull. I, Li Yasi, am a good-for-nothing! An out-and-out fool!”

“But you killed Pan’er, and took everything from me. Do you even want to erase my right to be a human?”

Li Yasi’s expression was complex, and his body stood up straight. Where was the cowardice and fear in his eyes? There was only firm belief!

“A swift horse in the clear breeze, truly free and at ease, once promised to be the foremost young master of the human world. Family estranged, friends betrayed, a heart cold, yet fortunately, a beautiful companion by my side. A dull and rotten wood, beyond carving, entangled in lovesickness, guarding a hopeless dream. Since there is no Pan’er left in this world, I will reunite with her in the Yellow Springs.”

After reciting this poem, Li Yasi knelt on the ground, bidding farewell to the world forever. Blood continuously overflowed from his mouth, and his head hung limply....
