All the martial artists from the Shi family had grim expressions, lowering their heads.
"Damn Li family... To think they brought such a powerful adversary? Did the Stone King really die at his hands?"
Some within the Shi family martial artists harbored deep hatred, everything had gone so smoothly before, but it was all turned around due to Dao Wufeng’s appearance, leaving them no choice but to bow their heads in submission, hoping the other party would spare them.
"Head of the Li family, what do you think?"
Su Changkong turned to Li Song and the others, asking for their opinion.
"We cannot let them go... Each of these Shi family martial artists is a tyrannical murderer!"
"My father... died at their hands! We cannot let them go!"
Many Li family disciples became agitated.
Previously, when the Shi family had attacked, they had turned them all into stone statues. To force Li Song to submit, they brutally dismembered their kin in front of their eyes. With the cold bodies still laid out there, they naturally were unwilling to spare the Shi family.
Li Song naturally hated the Shi family and truthfully said, "Our Li family naturally does not wish to spare the Shi family, because they will not spare our Li family... But it all depends on Mr. Blade’s decision."
Although Li Song was quite stalwart and did not like strife or slaughter, he was no fool; with Shi Jingtian dead, they had effectively formed a deadly feud with the Shi family.
If the Shi family had no power now, they would surely bow their heads obediently, but if one day they birthed a martial artist of the Entering Saint level, or several years after Su Changkong died while meditating, then the Shi family might very well seek revenge on them. If they couldn’t retaliate now, in a thousand years, or even several thousands of years, their descendants would not forget this hatred!
However, Li Song also felt that only Su Changkong was qualified to decide whether to spare the Shi family.
Su Changkong looked at the burly elder and said without expression, "Your Shi family has destroyed many fallen noble families, devouring the bloodline power of other families, resulting in the emergence of many individuals with outstanding talent in your clan. However, you also sowed the seeds of disaster. You should have foreseen today. Although I am known for my kindness and soft hands... I never spare my enemies!"
Su Changkong certainly was not afraid of the Shi family’s revenge, but while he was not, Li family was, Spirit Taoist Sect was as well. Not pulling out the roots when weeding is inviting disaster!
"Dao Wufeng... may you die a horrible death!"
The burly elder’s face twisted, as he roared in a frenzy, knowing that the other party would definitely not spare them. Without further pleading in a servile manner, he began to loudly curse and, with abandon, lunged at Su Changkong.
"Scram!"
With a sweep of his sleeve, Li Zhengao sent the burly elder, whose veins and Dantian were sealed, flying backwards, crashing to the ground.
Ignoring the rest of the Shi family’s disciples, Su Changkong turned to Li Song, "Head of the Li family, the Shi family left standing is a disaster. Although I, myself, am not afraid, not pulling out the roots when weeding is a big taboo. I will accompany your Li family to the Stubborn Stone Mountain."
"Thank you, Mr. Blade!"
Li Song was overjoyed, repeatedly expressing his gratitude.
Now that they’d become sworn enemies, only by eradicating the Shi family could their Li family live on without further concerns, with no regard for good or evil! Being merciful to an enemy is the height of folly!
The Stubborn Stone Mountain is the ancestral land of the Shi family. Although not a true Cave Heaven and Blessed Land, it was still a place rich in Spiritual Energy, and only the outstanding descendants of the main Shi family could cultivate there.
What Su Changkong intended to do now was to eliminate evil thoroughly. He would join the Li family in a trip to Stubborn Stone Mountain to thoroughly eradicate the root of the Shi family.
"The Shi family... is finished."
A feeling of despair and coldness rose in the hearts of the burly elder and others, understanding that the Shi family was done for.
Times had changed. In the past, a family with an Entering Saint level martial artist could act with impunity, but now, even if an Entering Saint level martial artist dared to act recklessly, they would bring disaster upon themselves!
Su Changkong and the Li family members took a short rest and then hurried to the Stubborn Stone Mountain in Wuji Empire at high speed.
Two days later, outside Stubborn Stone Mountain, Su Changkong and dozens of capable Li family youths arrived at the Stubborn Stone Mountain.
It was an irregular mountain range with no abnormalities noticeable from the outside, but Su Changkong could feel the existence of a seemingly nonexistent separate space within the void, similar to a Cave Heaven and Blessed Land!
Su Changkong turned to Li Song, "Head of the Li family, can you open the path to Stubborn Stone Mountain?"
It was difficult for outsiders to enter Stubborn Stone Mountain, involving spatial issues; after all, it was a lair created by an Entering Saint level martial artist. Martial artists of the same level would find it hard to forcefully enter. Like the Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands owned by many millennium-old noble families, their biggest function was acting as a refuge. In case the family encountered an unmatched powerful enemy, they could still hide and continue to prosper within the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land.
The main Shi family had also presumably sensed the danger and had closed the passage to Stubborn Stone Mountain, preparing to hide from the world and not come out.
However, Li Song had been able to open a passage into the Yellow Stone Cave Sky and invade it, so for Stubborn Stone Mountain, which was just at the level of a pseudo-Cave Heaven, it was highly likely that Li Song could open a path!
"Yes, leave it to me. The Painting Becomes Reality Divine Seed left by our ancestors may not be that remarkable in combat, but it has its uses in other areas. By drawing a passage, I can directly reach inside the Stubborn Stone Mountain."
Li Song nodded confidently.
Li Song immediately got to work, taking out pen and ink and began to ’draw’ in midair.
As the pen danced and ink flew in the void, this was already the realm of Divine Skills!
Su Changkong could see that a twisted portal was beginning to show outside the Stubborn Stone Mountain, from an unstable state to one that settled steadily, able to accommodate passage through it.
