#246 - Li Yuan exploded

He Yan said, "Li Yuan, do you think a simple apology can gloss over this matter?"

A hint of anger flashed across Li Yuan's face. "Otherwise? My Li family was unaware of this matter. It was all Li Er's doing."

"Does Dean He Yan intend to use this matter to bring my Li family to its doom?"

He Yan sneered, "Li Yuan, what skillful means! You've truly mastered this art of making it impossible to verify after death."

Li Yuan shouted, "He Yan, I address you as Dean out of respect. Don't push your luck!"

"Cease your slanderous accusations."

He Yan ignored Li Yuan and turned to look at all the Great Ascension realm cultivators present.

"Today, everyone is aware of the situation. This Li family colluded with the Great Qin Dynasty but now refuses to admit it."

"It seems necessary to employ some necessary measures."

After saying that, He Yan looked at Qin Buyi, who was standing to the side.

Feeling He Yan's gaze, Qin Buyi was speechless. He said, "It's me again?"

He Yan said, "Please be considerate of an old man. With age, my body is not what it used to be."

Qin Buyi thought to himself, "When you released your full aura just now, I didn't feel like you were an old man at all."

Despite thinking this in his heart, Qin Buyi didn't hesitate to act.

It just so happened that Qin Buyi was looking for a Great Ascension realm cultivator to test his blade on. It was like having a pillow delivered just as he was falling asleep.

Killing Wang Chenghai and the other seven Great Ascension realm cultivators previously didn't count as a blade test.

At that time, the situation was urgent, and he could only use the Annihilation·Slash combo, which had considerable destructive power, to destroy the teleportation array and kill Wang Chenghai and the other seven Great Ascension realm cultivators in the process.

Qin Buyi stepped past He Yan and walked forward.

"Clang!"

The Killing Life Blade was drawn. Qin Buyi held the Killing Life Blade and looked at Li Yuan.

Seeing this scene, Li Yuan's face turned pale.

He had personally witnessed Qin Buyi's terrifying combat power earlier, effortlessly killing seven Great Ascension realm cultivators with a single strike.

Li Yuan didn't think he was Qin Buyi's opponent.

Seeing that Qin Buyi was about to attack, Li Yuan shouted, "Qin Buyi, think carefully! My Li family has served the Great Ming Dynasty for generations and has made great contributions!"

"If you kill me, aren't you afraid of hurting the hearts of other families in the Great Ming Dynasty?"

These words, on the surface, were spoken to Qin Buyi.

In reality, they were spoken to Ying Gan, who was watching from afar. The underlying meaning was obvious.

That is, taking action against his Li family would cause a series of adverse reactions.

Even Ying Gan, a Half-Immortal realm cultivator, would have to consider this series of adverse reactions.

Li Yuan wanted to use this to get Ying Gan to speak and cover up the matter.

As for how to deal with it afterward, Li Yuan hadn't thought about it yet.

But if he couldn't get through the present, he wouldn't have to think about the future.

To Li Yuan's surprise, Ying Gan in the distance didn't speak, but watched the scene calmly.

Seeing Ying Gan's performance, Li Yuan felt completely hopeless.

Obviously, Ying Gan had developed a strong suspicion of his Li family, otherwise he wouldn't have refused to say even a word.

Qin Buyi said to Li Yuan, "Li Yuan, do you have any last words to say? If not, then depart on your journey now."

Li Yuan's face twisted. "Qin Buyi, He Yan, you are going too far! I'll fight you!"

After saying that, Li Yuan mobilized all the spiritual energy in his body, preparing to self-destruct.

Feeling this familiar fluctuation of spiritual energy, Qin Buyi immediately understood what Li Yuan was going to do.

His expression was somewhat helpless. "Li Yuan, did you only learn how to self-destruct from the Great Qin Dynasty?"

Li Yuan shouted, "Qin Buyi, cease your slanderous accusations! I, Li Yuan, will prove my Li family has nothing to do with the Great Qin Dynasty with my death today."

Saying this, Li Yuan looked at everyone around him and the Li family members below, and said loudly:

"Everyone present, and my Li family's children, watch carefully."

"The two deans of the Great Ming Academy are causing trouble in my Li family today, trying to pin the label of treason on my Li family."

"My Li family has been loyal for generations. Our ancestors shed blood and sweat for the Great Ming Dynasty and made countless contributions."

"Today, we are being envied by villains. I, Li Yuan, am not convinced! I only hate that my cultivation is not enough, otherwise I would definitely kill these two villains here."

"But even if I die, I will not let these villains succeed! I, Li Yuan, am leaving..."

In the distance, Wang Tiandao said, "This Li Yuan is trying to protect the entire Li family with his death."

Jiang Yu said, "Alas, things have reached this point. Even if he does this, how many Li family bloodlines can he leave behind?"

The Li family being linked to treason is like yellow mud falling into the crotch of your pants. Even if it's not shit, it looks like it is.

Moreover, judging from Ying Gan's cold-eyed observation, the matter of the Li family defecting to the Great Qin Dynasty is definitely not groundless...

None of the Great Ascension realm cultivators present spoke up for Li Yuan and the Li family behind him.

Speaking up at this time would be like the Old Man Star hanging himself, seeking his own death.

In case someone with ulterior motives puts a label of being a Li family accomplice on them afterward, their good days would basically be over.

Qin Buyi held the Killing Life Blade, looked at Li Yuan, and shook his head. "How many benefits does the Great Qin Dynasty give you a month? Why are you risking your life?"

The spiritual energy in Li Yuan's body had already been mobilized to the edge of self-destruction.

Li Yuan, with the will to die, decided to act until the last moment of his life.

Li Yuan said, "Qin Buyi, I suspect that you are the spy sent by the Great Qin Dynasty."

"Heh, your surname is Qin, and the royal family of the Great Qin Dynasty is also surnamed Qin."

"Now you are painstakingly disrupting my Great Ming Dynasty. If you say there is no relationship between the two of you, I don't believe it."

Qin Buyi glanced around. Every Great Ascension realm expert who met Qin Buyi's eyes couldn't help but lower their heads.

Qin Buyi said playfully, "You don't forget to throw dirty water on me before you die?"

"You are really an excellent actor."

"But you say these words, do you think they might believe them?"

Li Yuan didn't care whether others believed him or not. He just wanted to disgust Qin Buyi.

If he could bring some adverse consequences to Qin Buyi, even if he died, it would be worth it.

At this time, a voice came from everyone's ears.

"I don't believe it."

This was Ying Gan speaking a few words after watching here for so long.

These short three words completely broke Li Yuan's plan.

Ying Gan's words were equivalent to directly defining the matter.

Completely cutting off the idea that someone would want to use this to frame Qin Buyi in the future.

With Ying Gan taking the lead, other Great Ascension realm cultivators followed suit:

"I don't believe it."

"I don't believe it either."

"We have all seen Dean Qin's actions. Just from the fact that he killed eight senior instructors of the Great Qin Dynasty, it is impossible for it to be as you, Li Yuan, said."

After hearing the words of the crowd and Ying Gan, Li Yuan's face turned completely pale.

Ying Gan said that he didn't believe Qin Buyi was a spy of the Great Qin Dynasty, which meant that he believed that his Li family had defected to the Great Qin Dynasty.

Li Yuan stopped talking, on the verge of self-destruction, looked at the Li family residence below, with a little nostalgia and reluctance in his eyes.
