Li Tangyu began.

“Thank you for your concern, Brother Li, my wounds are not a serious issue…”

Zhang Yuan replied.

“Come in, please…”

With that, Zhang Yuan gestured for everyone to enter the house.

Once inside, everybody took their seats.

A beautiful maidservant came over and poured a cup of tea for each person.

After the maidservant had left, Huang Qingling began to tease:

“Oh…”

“Zhang Yuan, I never thought that you, usually so quiet, would have such a pretty maidservant attending to you.”

After hearing this, Zhang Yuan’s face, which had been somewhat pale, flushed red in an instant.

He hastily explained to everyone:

“I was assigned a maidservant by the family to look after me only because of my injury.”

“Normally, I am on my own…”

Seeing Zhang Yuan a bit embarrassed, Li Tangyu quickly changed the subject:

“Alright, Sister Qing Ling…”

“Don’t tease Brother Zhang anymore…”

Having said that, Li Tangyu took a Pure Jade Box out of his Storage Bag and passed it over.

“We heard you were injured, so we specially got you this Pure Healing Elixir, hoping you would recover soon.”

This was something the group had discussed on the way over, that Li Tangyu would present a Pure Healing Elixir to Zhang Yuan.

Originally, Lin Jing and Huang Qingling had suggested compensating Li Tangyu in other ways, but he had refused.

“Brother Li, this…”

Zhang Yuan, upon seeing the Wound Healing Elixir, intended to refuse, but was interrupted by Li Tangyu:

“Take it, now that you’re injured, it’ll come in handy…”

“Yes, you should take it…”

Li Qingqing also spoke up at that time.

“Alright…”

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Yuan nodded and accepted the Elixir Medicine.

“Brother Zhang, can you tell us what exactly happened in the Demon Race Secret Realm?”

“That even the Zhang Family Patriarch was injured…”

Li Tangyu asked.

After hearing this, Zhang Yuan was initially silent for a while before he spoke:

“Not hiding anything from you, actually, we encountered Demon Cultivators inside…”

Zhang Yuan’s statement instantly provoked shocked exclamations from everyone.

“Demon Cultivators…”

“Are you saying that those attacking you were Demon Cultivators?”

Li Tangyu asked.

Zhang Yuan nodded and said:

“Yes…”

“Demon Cultivators, and moreover, one that could absorb human blood, a Demonic Path Demon Cultivator…”

“At the time, I was searching for Spirit Grass in the Secret Realm…”

“But while exploring, I suddenly came across signs of a battle and driven by curiosity, I followed the traces…”

“It was during my search that I found Li Yao and several members of the Li Family.”

“When I found them, they had all been drained of their essence and blood, their bodies shriveled up, reduced to just skin and bones, it was extremely horrific.”

“If it weren’t for their clothing, and the shattered Magical Treasures nearby, I wouldn’t have believed that those withered corpses were from the Li Family.”

Hearing this, everyone was astounded.

No one expected that such a terrifying Demon Cultivator would exist within that Secret Realm…

Recalling the previous times they had entered the Secret Realm, Li Tangyu, his sister, and Huang Qingling all felt chills.

“It seems we were really lucky the times we went in there…”

Huang Qingling said.

Li Qingqing nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, Li Tangyu was still deep in thought.

After a moment, Li Tangyu addressed Zhang Yuan:

“Brother Zhang, you said it was a Demon Cultivator…”

“So, you have actually seen him, haven’t you.”

Zhang Yuan nodded and replied:

“Yes, I have seen that Demon Cultivator…”

At that moment, Huang Qingling suddenly spoke up, saying:

“I’ve heard…”

“When the Demon Race Secret Realm had just opened, they encountered a beast-man cultivator with the head of a wolf, and his cultivation was very high.”

“At that time, it took several Golden Core Immortals to join forces to kill him.”

“Could this beast-man cultivator be the same as that wolf-headed cultivator?”

Zhang Yuan shook his head and said,

“I have also heard about that wolf-headed beast-man cultivator, who was said to be several zhang (a unit of length) tall…”

“The one that appeared this time, however, is somewhat different…”

“In terms of size, this beast-man cultivator is no different from an ordinary person, much smaller than that wolf-headed beast-man cultivator.”

“When I saw him, he was fiercely entangled in battle with the Li Family Patriarch. He wore a black cloak, so I couldn’t see clearly and couldn’t tell if he was a cultivator or a beast-man cultivator.”

“So…”

“I thought of getting closer to get a better look.”

“But it was because of this move that I was discovered…”

“As a result, that beast-man cultivator just struck and sent me flying with a single blow, fortunately, Uncle Wu arrived in time to block some of the attack…”

“Otherwise, I fear I would have died from that one blow right then and there.”

At this point, Zhang Yuan gave a bitter smile and then continued,

“The injuries on my body also came from this.”

“After that blow, I passed out due to the severity of my wounds.”

“However, before I lost consciousness, I still caught a glimpse of that beast-man cultivator’s face.”

“His appearance was not much different from that of the wolf-headed beast-man cultivator, and his eyes were blood-red…”

“I suspect that this beast-man cultivator is very likely related to that first wolf-headed beast-man cultivator.”

As Zhang Yuan finished speaking, Li Tangyu exclaimed in surprise,

“Your Uncle Wu? Zhang Wu?”

“I remember my grandfather mentioning that he was not much younger than the Zhang Family Patriarch. I wouldn’t have thought that after so long, he’s still alive…”

With Li Tangyu saying this, the rest of the people were even more confused.

“Uncle Wu is about the same age as the Zhang Family Patriarch…”

It sounded very chaotic.

Seeing Lin Jing and the other two puzzled, Zhang Yuan began to explain:

“My Uncle Wu is called Zhang Wu, originally a pitiable child saved by our family patriarch when he was young. Later, with the patriarch’s help, he also embarked on the path of cultivation and followed the patriarch on his adventures.”

“However, he has always considered himself a servant of the Zhang Family. The patriarch has tried to persuade him several times, but ultimately had to let him be.”

“But we younger generation usually refer to him as Uncle Wu.”

After explaining to Lin Jing and the others, Zhang Yuan said to Li Tangyu:

“Uncle Wu is indeed not young, but for the past few decades, he has been in closed-door cultivation, rarely going out.”

“That’s why…”

“The outside world believes that he must have met his end long ago.”

“This time, it was only because of the Demon Race Secret Realm incident that Uncle Wu came out of cultivation, to protect us younger ones.”

“So that’s how it is…” Li Tangyu realized.

“After that, did your family patriarch and Uncle Wu also join the fray?”

Li Tangyu asked.

Zhang Yuan nodded and said,

“Yes, when I woke up…”

“The fight had already ended, and it was Uncle Wu who told me about what happened next.”

“After I passed out, the patriarch arrived, and together with Uncle Wu, they fought against that beast-man cultivator.”

“But that beast-man cultivator was too powerful, and even the three of them together couldn’t kill him, only managed to wound him before he escaped.”

“And because of his family members being killed, the Li Family Patriarch went mad, ignored their advice, and recklessly pursued him…”

“Unexpectedly, he ended up tragically dead at the hands of that beast-man cultivator…”

Upon hearing this, the others sighed.

Li Tangyu let out a sigh and said,

“Alas…”

“The entire Li Family perished at the hands of that beast-man cultivator, and it was understandable for the Li Family Patriarch to make that move…”

Huang Qingling followed up,

“Yes, I have heard rumors from the outside that the Li Family had discovered something valuable in the Secret Realm, with nearly the entire family mobilized…”

“But who could have imagined, this would lead to the extinction of the Li Family.”

“Now, the Li Family can be said to have only the old and weak left…”

“Without the protection of Golden Core Immortals, it won’t be long before the Li Family estate will be occupied by others, and the Li Family will be driven out of the Nanshan Immortal City…”

“By that time, when all their old enemies come swarming in…”

“The Li Family will be finished…”

Zhang Yuan also lamented,

“Indeed…”

“Isn’t that always the way of the Cultivation World…”
