God-Like Extraction

Chapter 262 First Elder (2)

Even the Li Family could not avoid this.

Li Mingfang and the other upper echelons of the Li Family would probably gather to discuss this matter.

In the Essence Soul’s illusory state, it was invisible to the naked eye.

Su Jingxing discovered this by accident.

When the Essence Soul turned incorporeal, it could not be seen with the naked eye. Ordinary perception abilities could not sense it either.

Even though the Blood Doppelganger’s hearing was better than the main body’s, there was one thing that could not be fixed.

That was soundproofing.

Once soundproofed and sound waves could not be transmitted, the secret ability would lose its effect.

The Essence Soul was different. It was even more magical than Blood Doppelganger which was an energy body. As long as Su Jingxing wanted to, he could even listen to the entire city.

Of course, listening to the entire city consumed a lot of soul power, and it couldn’t be sustained for long

There was no need for that. Neither would Su Jingxing do that.

It wouldn’t be a problem to narrow it down to a certain range. Even through a few layers of steel plates, he could still hear well.

Although the Li Family’s manor occupied a large area, it was still within the range of the Essence Soul’s listening.

Whether it was above ground or underground, as long as they spoke, Su Jingxing could hear the contents of the discussion between Li Mingfang and the Li Family’s higher-ups.

The development of the situation did not disappoint him.

About two hours later, in a basement in the northwest corner of the manor.

The Essence Soul listened to the discussion between Li Mingfang, Li Lilou, and the others.

Su Jingxing controlled the Essence Soul and decisively moved closer to reduce the consumption of his soul power.

“What’s going on? Who leaked our information out there?”

In the sealed off, secluded underground space, Li Lilou gritted his teeth and shouted with a dark expression.

“I also want to know who exactly leaked our secret!” said an old man with white hair, his eyes spitting fire. His name was Li Lichuan. In terms of age, he was the second oldest in the Li Family’s older generation. He was experienced and had a high status.

Most of the time, Li Mingfang, the Patriarch had to listen to his suggestions.

“Mingfang, did you receive any news? When did the Li Family offend the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce?” asked Li Lichuan angrily.

“It might not necessarily be the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce,” said a middle-aged man softly. “What do you mean?” Li Lichuan turned his head and glared at him.

y.

“I mean that Si Wujiu’s deliberate attack on us this time might be his own business, not that of the entire Tianlong Chamber of Commerce,” said the middle-aged man indifferently. “According to what I know, the chairmans of the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce aren’t close. Most of the time, they do their own things. Only when they encounter major matters that relate to all of them or something that every one of them wants will they join forces to deal with others.”

“In other words, targeting us this time is Si Wujiu’s individual scheme?” Li Lilou pondered.

“It’s just a guess.” The middle-aged man nodded and said, “No one knows what the truth is. But no matter what, we’ve been targeted. Third-grade martial artists, more than 10 in the fourth-grade, and more than a hundred in the fifth-grade. Even if they weren’t sent by all the chairmans of the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce, we wouldn’t be able to resist this power.”

“That d*mn Si Wujiu!” cursed Li Lichuan.

“Whether he’s d*mning or not, let’s put that aside for now. I’m even more curious about why he has his eyes on us. With Si Wujiu’s strength and identity, what does the Li Family have that he would want?”

Confusion was written all over Li Lilou’s face. Puzzled, he asked, “Even though the things we have in our collection are pretty, they shouldn’t have attracted Si Wujiu to fight us, right?”

“Shameful to say, but if he really had his eyes on something, he could have just asked us for it. We wouldn’t have dared to not give it to him. Was there a need to make such a big commotion?

“First, he deliberately baited Liu Xu’s id*ot brother. Then, he led his men to our door and then left with a big laugh. Anyone would know that there is something wrong with him!

“What is his motive for doing this?”

There was a moment of silence.

In the secret chamber, everyone fell into deep thought, not understanding Si Wujiu’s motives.

“Let’s ask the First Elder.”

Suddenly, Li Mingfang said in a low voice, “Perhaps, the First Elder would know some reasons.”

“Contact the First Elder at this time?” The middle-aged man continued. “The First Elder has been in seclusion for almost ten years. Will we be able to contact him now?”

“Sure,” said Li Mingfang in a low voice. “I’ve left an emergency means of contact. We can even video call.”

Uh…

The others revealed strange expressions when they heard this.

In ancient times, who would be able to video chat with others while in seclusion?

“Cough cough!”

Li Lichuan coughed lightly. “Then let’s contact big brother. Si Wujiu most likely also wants us to contact him. That’s why he put up this show tonight.” “That’s possible.”

“That’s right, that’s right. Si Wujiu definitely knows that the First Elder isn’t in Qinghe City. If he directly destroys us, we won’t even be able to send information out. When the First Elder returns, we would have long become a pile of ashes.”

“This fellow Si Wujiu, his target is the First Elder!”

“D*mned bastard. He injured so many of our men and caused such a big commotion. And it was all just to lure out the First Elder.”

“Perhaps he has other intentions! It’s not just to lure out the First Elder! The Mausoleum of Prince Qin is not the only secret in Qinghe City!”

The group discussed animatedly, and the atmosphere became lively. “Hold on, everyone. I’ll contact the First Elder immediately,” said Li Mingfang indifferently. He stood up, walked to a corner, pressed the button, and opened a small secret chamber.

The chamber door opened and Li Mingfang walked in. He fiddled with some machines.

In the room outside, the television on the wall immediately switched on, revealing an image.

It was a wall. On the wall were the patterns of the Li Family’s Seven Calamities Wheel Mantra.

After a while, the wall on the screen suddenly twisted and opened to both sides, revealing a secret chamber.

The secret chamber was dark at first. A ball of light lit up and slowly illuminated the room.

Li Mingfang and the others could only see the profile of the white-haired old man sitting cross-legged on the ground. He was motionless. Even through the screen, they could feel his aura lingering and charging.

“First Elder.”

“First Elder!”

“Big brother!”

When the people in the room saw the old man, they immediately greeted him.

Silence came from the television screen. There was no sound at all.

If Li Mingfang did not know that all the audio had been switched on, he would have thought that the television was broken.

The group waited for a while before sound came through the speakers.

“What’s the matter?”

A deep, resonant and slightly masculine voice reverberated through the room.

“It’s like this, First Elder.”

As the patriarch, Li Mingfang replied on behalf of everyone respectfully, “We’ve been targeted. By a person named Si Wujiu. He’s the president of the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce, a third-grade martial artist. Tonight…”

He quickly recounted the events of the night.

Finally, Li Mingfang said, “No matter what, we want to figure out what Si Wujiu’s motives are”

“You want to know what mysterious treasure the Li Family has, right?”

The First Elder’s calm voice sounded.

The faces of the upper echelons of the Li Family in the room burned a little when they heard this.

“That’s right.” Li Mingfang admitted frankly. “I want to know if the Li Family really has a treasure that can interest even top-ranked experts?”

“Of course.” The First Elder replied calmly, “I believe you all know who the Li Family’s first ancestor was.”

“Of course we do. Our lineage began to flourish starting with ancestor Li Nongtang,” replied Li Mingfang. “Ancestor Li Nongtang became the Chancellor while in the seventh-grade. He is the pride and idol of all the people in the Li Family!

“Because of a great merit, Emperor Yu bestowed the Seven Calamities Wheel Mantra to ancestor Li Nongtang. It was thanks to the Seven Calamities Wheel Mantra that our Li Family managed to develop to where we are today. “That’s right,” said the First Elder calmly. “This is something that everyone knows. However, outsiders don’t know; other than Emperor Yu and ancestor Li Nongtang; no one else knows that back then, Emperor Yu also bestowed something other than the Seven Calamities Wheel Mantra!”

“What is it?” Li Mingfang was stunned.

The others were also in disbelief.

“R-really?”
