Chapter 275: Chapter 13: Survivor of the Exterminated Direct Lineage (13)

Qianzhu Riqing took out a pearl the size of a baby’s fist and handed it to the Deceitful Spider.

The Deceitful Spider gently touched the pearl, and the next moment, a projection appeared before everyone.

Everyone’s actions within the Qianzhu Clan Territory on that day were clearly revealed before the crowd.

Finally, the Deceitful Spider saw the scene before the Qianzhu Clan members died, but the crowd did not notice anything unusual.

The Deceitful Spider squinted his eyes.

In the next moment, the Deceitful Spider suddenly grasped the pearl, and the scene replayed again.

A slight smile appeared on the Deceitful Spider’s face.

“What mysterious death; it’s nothing but Yu Meiren’s companion insect. Unexpectedly, someone would possess such an insect, but someone able to control such an insect might indeed be a remnant of the Li Family.”

“Yu Jiaxue, over the years, has anyone gone to your clan’s garden to catch insects?”

Yu Jiaxue thought for a long time and shook his head: “No, as you know, outsiders cannot enter the garden of our clan territory.”

Yu Jiaxue suddenly remembered that years ago, Xiaoshu had once visited Yu Meiren’s garden, but she had long since died, so she was not considered a suspect anymore.

The Deceitful Spider was silent for a moment, pointing at a scene in the projection: “Look, although it’s transparent and at night, if you look carefully under the light, there are some traces to follow.”

The crowd looked, and sure enough, they vaguely saw an outline.

Chu Guangyun was silent for a long time and asked: “So, the person behind these incidents should be from the Li Family?”

The Deceitful Spider nodded: “It’s certain that it’s from the Li Family. To control insects so ingeniously and have them enter the bodies of multiple clan disciples speaks of mastery in Insect Control, and those possessing such insects are likely ancient monsters who’ve been hidden for a long time.”

“Master, what should be done now?”

“Simple, since we know it’s these insects causing the trouble, there are naturally ways to counteract them. These insects also fear certain things.”

Afterward, each clan’s disciples carried some liquid on them, specially concocted to keep Li Shuning’s insects at bay. Li Shuning smirked, as they had discovered it, but it didn’t matter as many had already been killed; there was no need for this method.

Indeed, after this, no further disciple casualties were found among the major clans.

For a while, the major clans all breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the Deceitful Spider still dared not relax.

If the opponent was indeed one of the Li Family’s ancient monsters, more tactics might follow.

Later, the Deceitful Spider secretly convened the clan leaders.

The barriers of the major clans were not lifted, instead becoming more rigid inside and lax outside, with increasingly tight defenses.

When Li Shuning was in the Lower Realm, she found many insects, and with the presence of those counterparts, it was easy for her to release insects into those major clans.

Though fewer people were dying, they were still having an effect.

The Divine Domain became chaotic once more.

Li Shuning continued to disturb, with major clan members dying sporadically, leaving them helpless yet unable to find a solution.

Gradually, some clans became chaotic.

On the day the Li Family was exterminated, indeed, many Divine Domain families were involved, though some were not.

Those who didn’t participate remained safe, but such families were rare.

Was it due to the alliance with the Deceitful Spider back then?

What should be done?

It was all because of the Deceitful Spider, yet at this moment, that great person could no longer protect them.

The Divine Domain was truly in chaos.

Some families seeing the heavy casualties among major clans harbored certain thoughts.

The great war erupted, causing further chaos in the Divine Domain.

Although strong, the Deceitful Spider was unable to control the entire Divine Domain. Previously, those families served him mainly due to various interests. He could make examples, but he couldn’t handle widespread chaos.

Clearly, everything Li Shuning did was effective.

At this time, Li Shuning disappeared.

She reappeared in the Lower Realm, starting her cultivation anew.

The bloodline of the Li Family was extremely powerful, and with her potent Divine Soul, Li Shuning had an edge over other Li Family members.

Moreover, she had that giant insect, which boosted her defense; as long as she reached a certain realm, she could kill the Deceitful Spider.

Ten thousand years later, Li Shuning returned to the Divine Domain.

By now, the Divine Domain had changed greatly.

The Ten Great Families were no longer the same as before, having many new faces.

Of course, there were old faces, such as the Qianzhu Clan and another insect clan supported by the Deceitful Spider.

Both the Yu Family and Chu Family had fallen to second-rate families.

On the day of Li Shuning’s return, she began her bloody vengeance.

Those families that had acted back then were wiped out overnight, but Li Shuning spared their clan leaders and newborns.

However, she sealed their bloodline power and allowed insects to enter their bodies for monitoring.

She wanted those clan leaders to regret daily, yearning for death yet unable to die.

After settling some clans, Li Shuning directly confronted the Deceitful Spider.

The battle with Deceitful Spider was earth-shattering, even shattering many Lower Realms. Ultimately, the Deceitful Spider was controlled by Li Shuning.

After all, the Deceitful Spider was just an insect.

But when the Li Family and Divine Domain people could only seal the Deceitful Spider, it was because it was strong.

Yet now, Li Shuning’s power had surpassed the Deceitful Spider.

Li Shuning rebuilt her home on the ruins of the Li Clan Land.

The Li Family became the family that controlled the Divine Domain.

There were no so-called Ten Great Families anymore.

Only the one largest family of the Divine Domain remained, the Li Family.

After accomplishing these things, Li Shuning released Li Zuoming, freeing him from insect control, returning him to his previously severe wounds.

Seeing the state of the Li Family, Li Zuoming was dazed and couldn’t describe his feelings.

Upon regaining his senses, he immediately sought out Li Shuning.

“Shuning, sister, I know I was wrong. Now only you and I are of the direct lineage of the Li Family. I will obey from now on and never err again.”

Li Shuning sneered: “Li Zuoming, you really think of yourself as something. Yes, currently only you and I are of the direct lineage, but I have means; even the collateral lines with diluted blood that have been found are better than you. You are unworthy of the Li name.”

Then Li Shuning ordered Li Zuoming to be expelled and announced that he was no longer of the Li Family.

It wasn’t long and Li Zuoming died.

Originally, he wouldn’t have lived long, but the stress further strained his body.

Before his death, he kept shouting that he was the master of the Divine Domain, capable of dominating it and controlling all Lower Realms.
