There was a reason why the position of the Li Family was so outstanding and their position was higher than that of the other families.
The only reason was that the Li Family had an emperor powerhouse.
The ancestor of the Li Family, Li Wuqiang, was a mighty figure who had an Emperor level cultivation.
He was on the same level as Leng Wuyan, Liu Xunhuan, Chen Yundao, and the others.
Moreover, he had outlived them.
For some unknown reason, Li Wuqiang had always lived in the secret land of the Li family in seclusion, never taking a single step outside.
He was secretly guarding the Li family's descendants.
Only when there was a major incident in the family, or when there was a powerful enemy attacking, would he reveal his true body.
Now, the Grand Elder wants to invite the ancestor out of seclusion?
Li Daoyuan frowned and said, "Isn't this making a fuss? If you dare to interfere with the ancestral cultivation, his anger is not something we can bear!"
The Great Elder refused to let go. "It's a big deal that family members want to kill each other. Moreover, this was also related to the patriarch's son. We will let the ancestors make a decision!"
"But ..." Li Daoyuan was extremely resistant.
As the Patriarch, no matter what Li Ran did, he would be able to protect him.
However, once the ancestor emerged from seclusion, his position would change.
The ancestor was dressed in iron and was right. His most serious taboo was for the family to kill each other.
This, without a clear indication of who is right or wrong, is clearly not good.
“Grand Elder is very smart. This was the only way to punish Li Ran! According to family rules, as long as half of the elders agreed, they could invite the ancestors out of seclusion. Let's choose!" When he finished, he raised his hand first.
After which, the Fourth Elder and the Sixth Elder raised their hands to express their agreement.
As for Patriarch Li Daoyuan, the Second Elder, and the Fifth Elder, they did not raise their hands.
Three votes to three, only half!
A trace of pride flashed in the Grand Elder's eyes. "It's good, ring the bell, enter the secret land, and respectfully welcome the ancestors out of seclusion!"
Li Daoyuan secretly expressed his hatred towards the Grand Elder, but this time his hands were tied.

The secret land of the Li Family …
After arriving at the ancestral hall, several elders stood before the large stone door.
The stone door was carved with various Dao Marks, and there seemed to be a Grand Dao phenomenon that inevitably attracted people to drown in it.
Dong~
As the melodious bell rang, ripples spread on the stone door.
A moment later, an indistinguishable voice sounded.
"Why are you interrupting this emperor's rest?"
His voice was filled with unexpected majesty, as it clearly echoed in everyone's hearts.
The Grand Elder fell to his knees in a "Buk" voice". "Disturbing the ancestral cultivation is worth the death penalty. However, there is one thing we want the ancestors to decide!"
The voice of the ancestor seemed to be from the nine heavens. "Li Daoshi. What's going on?"
The Grand Elder lamented, "The Patriarch's son, Li Ran, has no sense of justice. He is a member of the same family, yet he crippled the cultivation of my son Li Sheng. Please give me justice, ancestor!"
His voice was miserable as if he had suffered a great grievance.
To confirm his words, he even brought Li Sheng, who was unconscious, with him. He's lying on the ground.
"Are there really things like that?" The voice of the ancestor contained a hint of anger.
Li Daoyuan's brows surged, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground. "Li Sheng attacked Li Ran's fiance first. Ancestor, help!"
"Xiao Qingge is not from our Li family! Moreover, he is safe and sound, yet my son's cultivation is crippled!"
The ancestor's dignified voice rang out, "Li Daoyuan, is what he said true?"
Li Daoyuan's heart pounded a thousand times, but in the end, he sighed helplessly. "That's true…."
The divine abilities of great emperors were unfathomable, able to see through the past and present. There is no point in lying.
If he angered the ancestor, Li Ran would end up in an even more miserable state.
Li Daoyuan was determined. Even if he did not want the position of the family head, he still had to protect Li Ran.
The ancestor said, "Because that's the case, then we have to deal with it according to the rules of the family. We will wipe out his cultivation and lower him to death!"
"Our ancestor!"
Li Daoyuan exclaimed, "Absolutely not! Ran'er is a saint-level talent, the future hope of our Li family! We can't cripple his cultivation!"
He wanted to persuade the ancestors to change their minds.
Unexpectedly, the ancestor snorted coldly. "So what if he has a saint-level talent? Family rules are family rules! For the sake of beauty, she decided to make a move against her fellow family members, this kind of genius, the Li family is unnecessary! "
His natural talent is ordinary. But he relied on fortuitous encounters to become the Dao Emperor, so he did not have a good impression of these geniuses.
These words of persuasion are actually not helpful.
The explosion!
He fell to the ground with a pale face.
"It's over…"
The great elder was overjoyed. "Our ancestor, thank you for your help!"
He had the chance to rise as the head of the family.
Li Sheng in exchange for Li Ran.
This is not a loss.
Then, the grand elder thought of something and said, "But regarding Li Ran's punishment, I still have to ask the ancestor to personally take action!"
The ancestor asked confusedly, "Why?"
The Great Elder explained, “Li Ran, the thief, has entered Youluo Temple. He was a disciple of an emperor ranked expert, Leng Wuyan. We're probably going to anger that female demon!"
"Ahems... Whose student is he again?"
The Grand Elder said, "Youluo Temple Master, Leng Wuyan."
The ancestors are silent. "......"
"Our ancestor?"
He's still quiet.
The air was calm for a long time.
Just as everyone was confused, the voice of the ancestor sounded.
"Li Daoyuan, you said that Li Sheng attacked Li Ran's fiancee, right?"
Li Daoyuan was stunned for a moment before nodding. "Indeed…"
The ancestor replied, "What Li Ran is doing is not necessarily wrong."
???
The Grand Elder had a black question mark on his face.
"Our ancestor! Didn't you just say you'd cripple ..."
The ancestors snapped at him. "I didn't say that. You heard it wrong."
Grand Elder Jiao said anxiously, "Then, won't my son's cultivation be in vain?"
He took the unconscious Li Sheng and pleaded, "I beg you, Ancestor!"
Waves of ripples appeared on the stone door. A large hand stretched out from the stone door and the index finger lightly pressed down on the space between Li Sheng's brows.
A scene of a real image appeared in the air.
It was all Li Sheng's past actions.
Five years ago, he had killed three people in the Drunk Wind Restaurant, simply because the other party's voice was too loud.
Three years ago, in the Spring Pavilion, five people were burned to death and three people were burned to death.
Two years ago, he broke into someone else's house to rob a civilian girl of her innocence and tortured her to death for four consecutive days. However, it was all to blame on Li Ran.
Last year………
The Grand Elder was paralyzed on the ground, his face as pale as paper.
The voice of the ancestor pouted. “Such a scoundrel is worthy of being a disciple of my Li Family? Even crippling his cultivation was too light!"
His fingers exerted a hint of strength, and Li Sheng's body instantly showed a crack mark, before it turned into fine sand and disappeared.
He was actually killed by the ancestors.
"Sheng!" The Grand Elder shouted in grief.
He really did not understand why things had become like this.
The voice of the ancestors sounded once again. "Because it's your fault for not teaching your son properly, you should be punished against the walls of the ancestral temple for three years."
Pu's!
The Grand Elder spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
The Fourth Elder and the Sixth Elder shivered.
What the hell is going on?
It was clearly Li Ran who made a mistake. Why did the ancestor kill Li Sheng?
He said that his face was unyielding, and he said that he was upright and unyielding?!
The ancestor said, "If you don't need anything, then go."
Only then did Li Daoyuan react and kowtow. "Thank you, ancestor!"
The ancestor added, "By the way, when Li Ran returns, ask him to come and see me."
Although Li Daoyuan did not understand, he still replied, "Yes."
His ripples disappeared, and the stone door calmed down again.

Behind the stone door…
A white-bearded old man wiped away his cold sweat.
"F* ck! I didn't expect him to be Leng Wuyan's disciple! I almost fell in love! What if I really cripple it ..."
The old man could not help but shiver.
"The devil will slash this old man!"
