10: The terrified remnant soul of the Third-Rank Yang God! Li Shengyuan's methods!

Li Shengyuan, who was in a small courtyard not far away, had been monitoring Liu Xiu with his spiritual sense.

It would naturally be best if he didn't have to act on the streets of the capital.

After all, his younger brother, Li Xinghe, had just had a conflict with Liu Xiu, and then Liu Xiu was killed by Demon Head Shura. This would inevitably lead some people to suspect their Li family.

Li Shengyuan mainly wanted to know from Liu Xiu why he harbored such deep hostility towards the Li family.

Since he began handling cases in the Demon Suppression Division, anyone who committed a major crime and fell into his hands was eradicated, leaving no one like Liu Xiu alive.

It could only be because of his Chief Assistant grandfather or his father.

While waiting for Liu Xiu, Li Shengyuan waved his hand, and the bewildered remnant soul of an old man appeared before him.

Not only was Liu Xiu baffled, but even the old man didn't know why he had lost contact with Liu Xiu, or why he had been imprisoned by someone. From beginning to end, he hadn't detected the slightest abnormality!

Such heaven-defying cultivation was simply unprecedented for the old man!

His heart was instantly filled with immense shock!

But upon seeing Li Shengyuan sitting by the stone table, the old man's eyes widened in astonishment.

He did all of this?!

He learned from Liu Xiu that this young man was the famous genius of Great Qian, Li Shengyuan!

Earlier, when he wanted to help Liu Xiu defeat Li Xinghe, it was also this person who used the power of his Golden Core, rendering him unable to move!

This young man was indeed as extraordinary as the rumors said!

That's why he advised Liu Xiu to endure, but his words were only halfway out before he was brought here...

The old man's heart was instantly swept by a stormy sea. What other methods did this young man named Li Shengyuan possess?

Why, after only a hundred years of slumber, had such a genius emerged in Great Qian?!

Though his heart was filled with shock, the old man's face remained incredibly calm. He finally couldn't help but ask Li Shengyuan:

"This old man has no grievances or grudges with Your Excellency, so why have you suddenly imprisoned this old man here?"

Li Shengyuan said with a cold expression, "You were a person who deserved to die, yet you appeared on my Li family's enemy and even helped him defeat my younger brother, attempting to reappear in the world through him. Such enmity is more than enough!"

Upon hearing this, the old man's heart grew heavier.

Li Shengyuan before him had no intention of being lenient with him...

It seemed difficult to escape this time, but since this person didn't directly annihilate him, there was still room for discussion.

Thinking this, the old man lowered his posture and respectfully said, "It wasn't this old man's intention to actively appear on him; it was all a matter of fate and coincidence."

"A hundred years ago, this old man was ambushed by a villain, resulting in my physical body decaying and my Yang God falling into slumber. That brat, by chance, found the treasure where this old man's Yang God was sleeping, and that's why I had no choice but to attach myself to him."

"If Young Master Li can spare this old man this once, I will be eternally grateful."

The old man lowered his head and eyes. After saying this, he felt an unprecedented humiliation in his heart.

If he were at the peak of his cultivation a hundred years ago, a mere Fourth-rank martial artist, no matter how talented, would be nothing but a single slap.

But now, times had changed, and he had no choice but to submit to others...

At the same time, he was afraid that Li Shengyuan didn't know his cultivation level in his lifetime, so he deliberately stated that he was a Third-rank Yang God Realm, hoping to make him wary.

But Li Shengyuan chuckled mockingly, "I didn't expect someone so old, who has even died once, to still be so naive!"

Upon hearing this, the old man's face also darkened, and he said in a low voice:

"Young Master Li, do you really think that just because you are a Fourth-rank Intent Realm martial artist and have a Golden Core protecting you, this old man can't do anything to you?!"

Li Shengyuan, however, scoffed, and then his voice gradually turned cold, "You are merely a wisp of a remnant soul. Let alone you are already dead, even if you were a living Third-rank cultivator, what do I have to fear?!"

As his voice fell, Li Shengyuan circulated the Great Sun Golden Core within his body, pressing the power of the Golden Core towards the remnant soul old man.

The already ethereal old man became even more transparent under the scorching of the Great Sun Golden Core.

The old man's face also grew increasingly grim, but he could only grit his teeth and endure.

He firmly believed that as long as he didn't die, his obedient disciple would definitely be able to rescue him. What he needed to do now was to endure, as he had told his disciple!

Li Shengyuan couldn't help but sneer, "You're truly tenacious. As expected of a Third-rank Yang God Realm Qi Refiner in your lifetime!"

Listening to Li Shengyuan's mockery, the old man's face showed no change.

Li Shengyuan then continued, "Seeing that you have such backbone, tell me your origin and also tell me the true identity of that brat. I can spare your life."

Upon hearing this, the old man's heart tightened, and he inwardly cursed, 'Not good.'

His obedient disciple was, after all, too high-profile, and the Li family had noticed something amiss.

The old man calmly replied, "What identity could he have? He's just a poor country boy with a bit of good luck. If not for this old man, he wouldn't have been able to enter this Black White Academy at all."

He firmly believed that as long as his obedient disciple Liu Xiu could endure and live well, cultivating according to the methods he taught him, he would definitely not be weaker than himself in his lifetime!

Pure Yang Body!

Whether practicing martial arts or becoming a Qi Refiner, he could achieve very high accomplishments. Reaching the top three ranks was only a matter of time.

Moreover, his obedient disciple's luck was extraordinary; he would surely transform into a dragon in the future!

Even if he perished in the hands of this villain today, his disciple, once he grew up, would surely avenge him.

Li Shengyuan, seeing this, shook his head and smiled, as if he had seen through the old man's thoughts.

"You're probably still harboring unrealistic fantasies about that boy named Liu Xiu. Hmm... let me think..."

Then, Li Shengyuan spread his palm, and a warm, scorching ball of light appeared in his hand. He smiled mockingly at the old man and said:

"Look at what this is!"

The old man, who had been calm and composed, instantly widened his eyes in horror upon seeing the Pure Yang Source in Li Shengyuan's hand, saying in disbelief:

"Pure... Pure Yang Source?!"

"Why is Xiu'er's Pure Yang Source in your hand?!"

Li Shengyuan, with a slight smile, put the Pure Yang Source into his system space and said indifferently, "That's not for you to ask."

Then his expression turned cold, "Without this thing, is that Liu Xiu still your reliance? Can he help you?!"

"Originally, I didn't want to cruelly use soul-searching on him. After all, I'm not skilled at it, and it would inevitably turn him into an idiot. I also wanted to give you a chance..."

"But since you won't seize it, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The old man looked at the cold Li Shengyuan, and a chill spread throughout his body. Even when he was murdered a hundred years ago, he had never been as terrified as he was now!

This young man was too terrifying!

His cruel methods and cold nature were one thing...

But his various unknown methods were even more endless. Not only did he capture himself here without anyone knowing.

He could even plunder his disciple Liu Xiu's innate Pure Yang Source?!

With such an existence, even if his disciple Liu Xiu still had the Pure Yang Body, could he truly get revenge?

The old man was so shocked he couldn't speak for a moment.

Suddenly, his body trembled, and he quickly pleaded bitterly with Li Shengyuan:

"I'll tell you who Liu Xiu is, and what enmity he has with your Li family. I'll tell you everything, I only ask that you spare my life, and I'll tell you where all the treasure resources I hid a hundred years ago are!"

Li Shengyuan, upon hearing this, scoffed and said coldly:

"You finally understand now?"

"Too bad it's already too late. Look who just came in!"
