Chapter 73 - The agreement 16

After branding Li Chen with the dagger, he then brought out salt and applied it to Li Chen's wounds.

The audience swallowed saliva and began to cheer for him weakly.

Li Chen's voice was unsealed and he cried for his mummy but unfortunately, mummy would not be there for him.

Many of the audience were crying profusely while trying to either cheer or clap for Long Ren.

They prayed very earnestly that he would look upon them favorably and let them go.

Long Ren took one more glance at Li Chen before his eyes turned red with fury.

'Li Chen, remember this, there is no next life for you. Just as you tortured my mistress and tortured me so I will do to you. Recall when you wanted to use me as a meal, you recall that right?"Ren asked.

Li Chen could only nod despite the pain he felt.

"You wanted to r*pe my mistress for what reason? No one except her other half is worthy of touching her back. Who do you think you are Li Chen?" he asked. His eyes had turned to dark black eyes showed that his anger had reached the peak.

"This is the final torture I give you," Ren said and he brought out a golden sword.

Li family residence.

The Li family were not rich and neither were they poor. However, they had several cultivators in their family.

One of their sons was an alchemist apprentice and the other happens to be Li Chen who is currently being served by Long Ren.

At this time it was already evening and so they were preparing to light the lamps.

Suddenly, a blast of wind hit the ancestral image in the ancestral hall.

A servant who saw this alerted the Li family patriarch who is 75 years old and in Master sage level 1.

The patriarch raced to the hall and went on his knees when he saw that the ancestral image had been broken into unrecognizable pieces.

"This is a bad omen. A bad omen. Ye Feng gets the whole household here now."The patriarch ordered.

"Yes great lord," said a young servant who could not cultivate. He was about 15 years old.

He quickly retreated and ran back inside the house in search of the Li family members.

In less than 10 minutes the Li family members had arrived at the ancestral hall and had gone on their knees.

This bad omen should be averted by all costs.

"Where is Li Chen?" the patriarch asked.

"Replying to the great lord, young master has not been seen since afternoon," said Ye Feng.

"What? Why did you not report to me? Where could that rascal be? I hope he didn't get himself into some trouble. We have to perform rituals but without him how can we go on? Find him"the patriarch barked.

"Yes great lord!" three guards replied and left immediately.

However, in less than a minute, their heads rolled back towards the patriarch.

This stunned all of them and they were on alert.

The Patriarch stood up and requested the intruder to show themselves.

However, what they got in response was a casket that suddenly appeared in their midst.

On the top was a letter.

The patriarch told the others to back away while he picked the letter by himself and opened it.It was written in blood.

"Li family, relocate in three days or I'll exterminate you from mother earth" by Ren.

This was the short content but it was indeed a threat.

"Father, what's it about?" asked a middle-aged man who is the older version of LI Chen likely his father.

"Open the casket"the patriarch ordered.

"Yes, father," Li Chen's father said and then he stepped forward to open the casket.

When he did so, what greeted them was a swarm of bees. These were not ordinary bees but devil bees.

These devil bees can cause one to be blind for 9 days if not properly treated in time. Another thing is that one of the ingredients called 'red missile' was almost extinct.

It was obvious the sender of these bees wanted them to die.

Since they were caught unawares.they were unable to protect themselves and their children from being stung.

After being stung by the bees for 5 minutes, the bees went away and also 7 more caskets appeared scaring all of them.

"What's going on? Who wants our entire family dead this much?" a little boy cried as he hugged his mother.

The caskets opened by themselves and the sight stunned them even more.

The first casket contained Li Chen's head, the second had lichen's cooked third leg, the third contained his intestines, the fourth and fifth contained his hands, the sixth contained his legs and the seventh contained the remaining battered parts of Li Chen's body.

Seeing this many vomited however his mother fainted while his father sank to his knees.

The patriarch looked towards the sky and back at the ancestral image.

"We should do as he says. We are to relocate in three days time"the patriarch gave his final verdict and disappeared to his chambers.
