45: The secret of the Li family's "natural born saint" is revealed!

The eternal tears only allowed him to speak the truth, but they didn't force him to answer.

Therefore, if he refused to answer, and without resorting to some means, it would be truly difficult to get anything out of him.

"You don't want to answer?"

The Immortal Master of Demonic Brew laughed heartily, tilting his head back as if he had heard a huge joke: "I, the dignified Landlord of Tianji Restaurant, am asking you a question, and you can actually decide whether you want to answer or not?"

"Could it be that you don't know what our Tianji Restaurant does?"

Members of Tianji Restaurant are skilled at extracting information from others, and they naturally have methods to force people to speak, even categorized into many types.

"Do you want to try the 'Speak All You Know Curse'? Or do you want to try the 'Memory Exposure Technique'?"

"Do you want to wear the 'Lost Soul Mute Collar'? Or do you want to take a 'Talk to Yourself Pill'?"

Upon hearing this.

A hint of helplessness flashed in Li Fei's drunken, hazy eyes. He shook his head, giving a self-mocking bitter smile, and a few points of hesitation appeared on his face, which was flushed from drinking.

Finally, he shook his head fiercely: "I would rather die than..."

He only got halfway through his sentence.

The Immortal Master of Demonic Brew slapped a 'Speak' character spell onto his back—this was the Speak All You Know Curse.

"Speak!"

Seeing this, everyone focused their attention and listened quietly.

Some cultivators even took out spiritual tools and magic treasures with recording and video functions and began recording on the spot.

【Although you don't know the secret involved, seeing that everyone has gone this far, it would be rude not to speak, so you—】

【A: Suddenly learn the truth and speak it out.】

【B: Decide to wake up your father and let him speak, so he can take the blame later.】

【C: Continue to state that you won't speak.】

【D: Commit suicide. As long as you die, this secret should be preserved, or at least make the Li Family members think you are loyal and righteous.】

A.

Li Fei sighed helplessly and began to speak slowly:

"Our Li Family's so-called 'Innate Sage' is actually not an inherited status, but a pair of eyes called the 'Sage's Eyes'. This goes back to the Primordial Era, when the Ten Immortal Families jointly annihilated the ten-thousand-year-old Demon Kingdom in the East Sea..."

"Outsiders only know that our Li Family captured that arrogant and invincible Demon Emperor, but they don't know that we were able to capture him by threatening the 'Demon Pool Holy Mother'."

"The Demon Pool is the origin of the Demon Clan, the Holy Land of the Demon Clan, and the Demon Pool Holy Mother is a living being naturally conceived from the Demon Pool, the faith and totem in the hearts of the Demon Clan. No one could have imagined that a single ancestor of our Li Family simply used a lie to capture this kind Holy Mother..."

When he reached this point.

Li Fei seemed to be immersed in the story, his expression becoming somewhat melancholic.

"The Demon Pool Holy Mother has a pair of unique and beautiful eyes that can discern all things in the world, but they cannot see into people's hearts."

"We discovered that her blood had miraculous effects, so we trapped her at the bottom of a ten-thousand-year-old cold pond, drawing blood every so often. After accumulating enough, we used spells to transfuse blood into the newborns of our Li Family. This way, our Li Family members' blood also became extraordinary, and a small portion of them could even possess those eyes that discern all things..."

"We called these eyes the 'Sage's Eyes'. When newborns gained this ability after blood transfusion, we claimed that an 'Innate Sage' who could see through all things had appeared. After tens of thousands of years like this, 'Innate Sage' became synonymous with our Li Family..."

"To permanently utilize this secret, our Li Family even moved the entire clan to the edge of a hundred-million-year-old cold pond in the northern East Sea, claiming to the outside world that we were there to eternally suppress the East Sea..."

"All the Li Family members who knew about it at the time were killed by the patriarch, and it was claimed to the outside world that they were sacrifices made to capture the Demon Emperor. Now, only each generation's patriarch knows this secret, and I also accidentally learned the truth..."

No one had expected.

Such a shocking secret would be revealed here today!!

The people below were emotionally agitated.

"The Li Family is not fit to be the head of the Ten Immortal Families! They are a disgrace to the Primordial Immortal Families!"

"So the Innate Sage has such an ugly origin, hmph! It's a wonder I used to respect them so much!"

"The Li Family is finished! The Primordial Demon Gods all came out of the Demon Pool, and this Demon Pool Holy Mother is the shared mother of the Demon Clan! The wrath of the Demon Clan is not something a single Li Family can withstand."

"Quick, quick, send a message back and have the family draw a clear line with the Li Family! Quick!!"

"It seems it's going to become the Nine Immortal Families next..."

In the private room of the inn.

【Collapse Value +100】

【Congratulations on exposing the ugly secret of the Li Family, where the #4 Heavenly Mandated Protagonist Li Fei belongs, causing the Li Family's reputation to plummet and possibly leading to its complete demise, making the 'Innate Sage' no longer respected, significantly and permanently reducing the Li Family's luck, and invisibly eliminating many future opportunities for the Li Family.】

【Extra Reward Collapse Value: 100】

Looking at the system information that appeared before him, Lin Sheng couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Not bad!

It seems this time is another great harvest!

After Chen Nanzhi transmitted the news from here back to the Holy Land, her face showed a mixture of shock and joy.

"I didn't expect the Li Family to commit such evil deeds."

"Poor, kind Demon Pool Holy Mother, trapped at the bottom of the cold pond for tens of thousands of years. She must have come to hate the Li Family, and perhaps even the entire Human Clan?"

She looked at Lin Sheng, but her words suddenly changed: "That's great, Lin Sheng! We were originally worried that the Li Family would target us, or at the very least grow stronger, but instead, such a scandal suddenly erupted."

"The Li Family is now preoccupied and has no capacity to deal with us!"

"Not only does our Ten Thousand Beasts Holy Land have no crisis this time, but thanks to you, our reputation has significantly increased!"

"You are truly the lucky star of our Holy Land!"

Lin Sheng smiled lightly.

He raised his head, looking at the bustling and even somewhat noisy Tianji Restaurant square, and thought to himself: 'The Life Choice event isn't over yet, which means Li Fei still has a chance to change the situation...'

'Is it Qin Ruoruo?'
