Chapter 689 - 661 Sky Eye Flower
The old commander's tone shifted, becoming cold.
"Iron Crutch Li had an iron will, sacrificing his life for Huaxia's cause, but his descendants have bullied men and women, been greedy for wealth, forgotten righteousness, and framed the loyal and good. If Iron Crutch Li knew what was happening from his resting place, I really don't know what sort of rage he would feel."
The old commander looked at Li Xiangqian and Li Xiangshang, his domineering gaze chilling the brothers to the bone. They felt as if they were being seen through, as if their every secret was laid bare before him.
They could not rebut, terrified out of their minds, their legs shaking, and beads of cold sweat dropping down one by one.
The old commander spoke, "The Li Family will cease to exist from today. As for you two brothers, you are to be judged according to the law. However, for the sake of the old days and my friendship with Iron Crutch Li, I will spare Li Yuan's life. From now on, let him live an ordinary and mundane life!"
After he said this, the old commander immediately turned his head, looking as if he had aged a decade in an instant.
With a single statement, he had sealed the fate of the Li Family.
Li Xiangqian and Li Xiangshang collapsed onto the ground, their eyes hollow, as if the sky had fallen.
Then, both brothers scrambled to their feet, knelt on the ground, and shamelessly begged the old commander for mercy.
"Elder, elder, we admit our wrongdoing. For the sake of our grandfather's face, we beg you to spare our lives. We were wrong; we won't dare to do it ever again...!"
The old commander didn't look back, but waved his hand. Several members of Nidhogg swiftly rushed forward and dragged Li Xiangqian and Li Xiangshang away.
Those left were assassins hired by the Li Family. With a loud command from the Dragon Emperor, they were dispersed.
Having dealt with the Li Family, which was destined for destruction, the old commander seemed very tired at this moment. Lin Tian wanted to go up and say a few words to him, but after thinking it over, he decided to let it be.
The descendants of his closest comrade-in-arms were personally executed by the old commander. He must be suffering deeply in his heart at this moment!
But while heaven's acts may be forgivable, one's own sins are not. The consequences faced by the Li Family today are the result of their own doings, and nobody else is to blame.
Moreover, the Li Family could not truly be considered annihilated, as the old commander spared Li Yuan's life, and neither Li Xiangjin nor his son Li Tian were implicated in this affair.
Thinking of Li Xiangjin, the old commander still felt somewhat reassured. Not all descendants of Iron Crutch Li were of a vile nature.
After the downfall of the Li Family, Lin Tian finally let out a sigh of relief. Although he couldn't personally avenge himself, the Li Family was ultimately destroyed.
Lin Tian hated Li Yuan, but since the old commander had said to spare his life, Lin Tian naturally wouldn't hold a grudge, as long as Li Yuan didn't cause him any more trouble, Lin Tian would let him live.
Feeling happy and joyful, his great revenge accomplished, he could finally be at peace.
Afterward, the Dragon Emperor found Lin Tian, holding in his hands a flower.
The flower was a vibrant red, dazzling and about the size of half a palm, appearing unremarkable but containing endless spiritual power.
Huo Shaotian had once said that Dongfang Kun must have used the power of a treasure to set up the formation, and surely, it was with the power of this flower that Dongfang Kun had established it!
Seeing the Dragon Emperor heading straight for him with the flower, Lin Tian was surprised and thought: The Dragon Emperor can't be this generous, planning to give this treasure to me, can he?
It turned out that the Dragon Emperor was indeed generous, and he really planned to give the flower to Lin Tian.
The Dragon Emperor said, "This flower is called the Sky Eye Flower. After you swallow it, it may help you open the Heavenly Eye. Take good care of it."
"Thank you, Dragon Emperor," Lin Tian replied, gratefully accepting the Sky Eye Flower, and bowed deeply to the Dragon Emperor, which was not easy for him to do.
The Dragon Emperor replied nonchalantly, "No need to thank me; it was the old commander who asked me to do this!"
Emma, Lin Tian thought, his face full of black lines.
The Dragon Emperor was just too blunt. How could one show gratitude if even gratitude felt awkward? There wasn't a hint of sentimentality.
But the old commander was always kind, and he had always been so good to him.
…, ….
Afterward, the old commander and the Dragon Emperor left, and Lin Tian carefully placed the Heavenly Eye Flower in his bosom, taking great care to store it.
He brought Jian Cangsheng, Huo Shaotian, and others back to Wu'an City and called Wang Yuan and Bai Xiaoluo over by phone.
A grand celebration banquet was thrown.
This time, although fraught with peril, the Li Family was ultimately eradicated, and even though it was the Dragon Emperor and the old commander who stepped in to save everyone in the end, Lin Tian still wanted to thank this group of brothers who helped him.
At the largest five-star hotel in Wu'an City.
Dozens of stories tall, on a normal day, the place would be bustling with an endless stream of people, and finding a parking spot at the entrance would be as difficult as reaching the sky.
But tonight, it was unusually quiet, with only a few cars at the entrance, because the entire five-star hotel had been booked by Lin Tian.
He set up more than a hundred tables, and seated at one table were Lin Tian, He Qianqian, Bu Mengting, Shen Mengyi, Chen Lihui, Jian Cangsheng, Huo Shaotian, Chen Long, Wang Hai, Yue Lei, Fairy Zixia, Wang Yuan, Bai Xiaoluo, Wang Ying, and Jiang Hui.
The remaining dozens of tables were occupied by martial experts who helped Lin Tian; representing various powers, they were all brothers who aided Lin Tian, and now that the Li Family had been destroyed, it was only right for Lin Tian to treat them to a drink.
Lin Tian stood in the middle, holding a bottle of beer and standing on a stool while holding a microphone, he shouted out.
"I thank you all for helping me, Lin Tian, without regard for your own lives, this kindness, I, Lin Tian, will forever remember in my heart. From now on, your matters are my matters, Lin Tian's. Today, I thank you all here, and to that, I drink this bottle!"
"Glug, glug...!"
A bottle of beer was finished by Lin Tian in just a few seconds, a small feat for him!
"Such capacity, Boss Lin is so generous."
"Beer's nothing, let's go for the strong stuff."
"Chug a bottle of Moutai in one go, I'd respect you for that."
..., ....
The crowd below cheered him on, some genuinely admiring Lin Tian, some just there for the spectacle.
To chug a bottle of Moutai was indeed something Lin Tian could do, but afterwards, he would undoubtedly feel a bit dizzy, which he wanted to avoid, so he quickly changed the subject.
"Today, everyone sitting here is my brother. We're here for a victory celebration. Later, I will give you all red packets, big red packets."
"Wow, red packets, how much are we talking?"
"I want a red packet; I'm ten thousand short for getting a wife!"
"I want a red packet, a red packet!"
…, ….
As soon as the red packets were mentioned, everyone no longer cared about the drinks; Lin Tian quickly ran back, fearing he would be caught and made to drink until drunk.
He sat in the front and center, with He Qianqian on his left and Bu Mengting on his right.
One on each arm, the feeling was simply exhilarating!
Those who could sit at the same table as Lin Tian were all his kin, each and every one of them indispensable.
Right now, being accompanied by this group of people made him truly happy. With vengeance achieved and everyone safe and sound, this was indeed happiness.
Lin Tian picked up another bottle of beer and said, "Today, no one leaves sober. To celebrate our victory, to celebrate our brotherhood, let's do this!"
