It's already too late to run.

The Old Guild Leader's shadow gently waved his hand, and Li Shiyin vanished, leaving behind only two Demon Lotus Eyes like glass beads and two Space Rings.

The Old Guild Leader's shadow clapped his hands, and Li Shiyin's collapsing Beast Taming Space came to a halt.

"I'll take away the things in his space rings and with his beasts that you can't use. As for compensation, the principal of Shendu University will make it up to you for me."

The Old Guild Leader's shadow reached for the two Space Rings. Many things were pulled out from within and tossed upward, vanishing along with the Beast Taming Space.

Then, the shadow dissipated.

"So strong, unbelievably strong. Unbelievably powerful."

The Old Guild Leader erasing Li Shiyin left Li Cunxu's scalp tingling. He had thought that the Old Guild Leader was strong, but he hadn't thought he was this strong.

Also, the sealed power in the life-saving jade had a conscious thought, something that even Li Cunxu's max-level beasts couldn't achieve. In the game, Li Cunxu had only seen such a thing on the Four Gods.

This made Li Cunxu remember the rumors on the game's forum about the Old Guild Leader.

Some players believed that the Old Guild Leader was also a god, a deity on the same level as the Four Gods.

Previously, Li Cunxu thought the rumor was absurd, as the Old Guild Leader had no followers or church, so how could he be a god.

Now, Li Cunxu was starting to believe it.

Li Cunxu shook his head, dismissing the irrelevant thoughts.

Whether the Old Guild Leader was a god was not important; what was important was that he was now an ally. The stronger he was, the safer Li Cunxu felt.

Li Cunxu picked up Li Shiyin's pair of Demon Lotus Eyes and placed them in an eye cultivation solution.

Previously, he wasn't sure if he could get the Demon Lotus Eyes, but with the mindset of preparedness, he had bought some in the black market early on.

"If I can get the Pupil Demon's technique for stealing pupil eyes and absorb the essence of these Demon Lotus Eyes, perhaps my Blood Lotus Eye could transform into the Demon Lotus Eye."

The Old Guild Leader was considerate; he had erased the marks Li Shiyin left on the Space Rings, allowing Li Cunxu to use them directly.

Upon checking Li Shiyin's two Space Rings, he was stunned by their contents.

Both rings had 100 cubic meters of space, filled more than half with resources, most of which were precious dragon resources.

"Li Shiyin was a good man! He knew that my next contract beast would be a Dragon-type Holy Lotus Carp and gave me so many dragon resources."

It wasn't surprising to Li Cunxu why Li Shiyin's Space Rings held so many dragon resources.

Li Shiyin was also someone who had a stroke of luck; in his childhood, he picked up the Inheritance Key of Emperor Yin Long, allowing him to enter the Inheritance Secret Realm to gather dragon resources anytime and anywhere, which made him a specialist Dragon Beastmaster.

Li Cunxu found the Inheritance Key of Emperor Yin Long in Li Shiyin's Space Ring.

"What a pity. This key is useless to me. Emperor Yin Long's criteria for choosing an heir are cunning and deceitful, which obviously doesn't fit someone as upright as I am."

The Inheritance Key of Emperor Yin Long shimmered in his hand, making Li Cunxu fall silent, quietly tossing the key back into the Space Ring.

Though he had the Inheritance Key, Li Cunxu wasn't planning to go into the Inheritance Secret Realm.

The Master of Endless Time summoned a time projection of Emperor Yin Long, and Li Cunxu had battled against Yin Long, finding him to be a truly deceptive 'Yin Long Emperor.' This being was really treacherous, lacking all the demeanor of a great emperor. If he could ambush, he would never fight head-on, and even in direct combat, he would create opportunities for ambush.

Someone like Yin Long, with no moral bottom line, was hard for Li Cunxu to trust in caring about finding an heir.

Moreover, Emperor Yin Long had shown his possession and resurrection ability in battle.

Li Cunxu suspected there might be some hidden revival scheme left by Yin Long in the Inheritance Secret Realm.

"Now that Li Shiyin is dead, no one will wipe out Li Shiji's family, meaning Shiji won't be able to awaken the Demon Lotus Eye?"

Li Cunxu felt a bit regrettable, but even more relieved and happy for himself.

Happy for him: as a grandfather, Li Shiji sent him a Blessing Fruit that expanded capacity. Li Cunxu had a good impression of his grandfather Li Shiji and didn't wish for him to experience the despair of his entire family being wiped out.

Happy for himself: with Li Shiyin dead, he no longer needed to worry about a venomous snake watching him from the shadows.

Li Cunxu looked at the pile of powder on the ground, "The desk is gone, but most importantly, my parents' photos are gone."

"And there's no way to retrieve them, unless I can master the power of time reversal. The Dark Crow's death summoned some waters from the River of Time, but those waters are only effective on living things."

After staring for a long time, suddenly Li Cunxu's eyebrows relaxed, and he looked up with a cheerful face.

"I almost forgot, I sent some of my parents' photos to my sister."

Li Cunxu opened the window, and sunlight streamed in through it.

The Mechanical Annihilation Hunter sat on a rock, the guard dog lay on the grass, both quietly watching the grazing cattle and sheep. The scene was so harmonious and beautiful.

After observing for a while, Li Cunxu withdrew his gaze.

"Sure enough, Li Shiyin must have isolated this room from the outside; the Mechanical Annihilation Hunter and the others didn't hear anything."

After the incident with Li Shiyin, Li Cunxu no longer felt sleepy.

Running onto the grass, he basked in the sun.

The next morning, Li Cunxu went to Li Shiji's small courtyard.

Yesterday, Li Cunxu had made Lee Anle convey the message to his grandfather that he wanted to meet him the next day.

So today, Li Shiji didn't go anywhere, waiting for Li Cunxu's arrival in the tea room.

Li Shiji was actually quite curious about this grandson he hadn't seen much of.

Being specially recruited by the principal of Shendu University, consecutively conquering two secret realms in one day, second on the freshman list, these feats not only caught Li Shiyin's attention but also Li Shiji's.

Li Shiji was brewing tea, his expression not looking happy.

The previous night, he experienced a stabbing chest pain, and upon checking the life plaque, his brother Li Shiyin's plaque was shattered.

'Golden Silver Saves the World,' their family had four brothers. Eldest brother Li Shijin died avenging their parents, being hunted down, and fourth brother Li Shishi was killed alongside their parents by bandits, leaving only him and second brother Li Shiyin.

Although he didn't like his darker second brother, at the very least, they were full-blood brothers. His death warranted investigating the cause.

Li Shiyin died suddenly, without any clues.

He sought out a divination master overnight to divine the cause of Li Shiyin's death, but the master couldn't divine anything, frightening him so much that he fled to the safest place, Shendu, overnight.

According to the divination master, the only times he couldn't divine anything were cases related to the Four Gods.

"Could it be that the Four Gods killed my second brother? But why would the Four Gods want to kill him? Could it be because of his three sons? My brother went to avenge them and ended up getting killed by the Four Gods?"

Li Shiji guessed half right; indeed, Li Shiyin went for revenge and was counter-killed by the avenger. However, the targets of vengeance were not the Four Gods but Li Shiji himself.

Li Shiyin never thought his three sons were wrong to follow the Evil God or guilty of blood-sacrificing humans. The only one in the wrong, in his view, was Li Shiji, who dared to lay a heavy hand on his own nephews.
