This is what villains are like

Deep inside the Li family at Suiji, in the magnificent palace, many clan members who held the positions of elders and peak masters in the Taiyi Sect rushed back.

The current head of the Li family is named Li Qingdu. He is a middle-aged man with handsome features and an easy-going demeanor. He wears brocade and satin robes with flower and bird patterns embroidered on them. He wears a crown and hair. He does not have the majesty of the head of a saintly family. On the contrary, he is like a secular scholar who has read many scriptures.

He is the second son of Li Ran and the second brother of Jiang Lan's mother, Li Qingshu. Above the two, there is an eldest sister named Li Qingping.

Li Qingdu is the head of the family. He has been obsessed with spiritual practice all year round and rarely interferes with family affairs. All matters, big and small, are left to other clan elders to handle. Until now, he has never married and has no children.

As the eldest sister, Li Qingping had conflicts with her father Li Ran for some reasons in her early years. The two had different opinions and concepts. In anger, she left the Li family and started her own business, changing her surname to Ji.

This matter has always been a taboo in the Li family that cannot be discussed.

Jiang Lan only recently learned about this from his mother Li Qingshu. He had always thought that he only had one uncle.

"The last time I saw Lan'er was more than ten years ago. In this blink of an eye, I have been in seclusion, and now I am as beautiful as a tree in the wind, rich and handsome, and I have a bit of the charm of my youth."

As the head of the family, Li Qingdu has no airs at all. When he speaks, he always has a free and natural smile on his face, giving people a sense of intimacy.

He was sizing up Jiang Lan at this time and praising her repeatedly, but his eyes looked at the gentleness of his close nephew.

"Don't put too much gold on yourself. When you were young, how could you compare to Lan'er?"

Li Qingshu was also in the hall. Hearing this, she immediately glanced at him. Li Qingdu immediately smiled. He felt both love and helplessness for this sister.

His father, Li Ran, had a daughter in his old age, so he doted on her very much. However, compared to before, Li Qingshu is now more restrained, steady and mature.

You must know that when she was young, she was called the little witch by many disciples and elders of Taiyi Sect. She was even more arrogant and domineering than Jiang Lan in the imperial capital.

"Isn't this a sigh of relief? I never expected that Lan'er would be able to achieve her current level of cultivation..." Li Qingdu sighed with emotion.

Li Qingshu was immediately dissatisfied and interrupted, "It's only normal that Lan'er has such strength."

After the last Fengjun ceremony, she hurried back to the Li family. Although the current generation of the Li family has produced saints, the middle and young generations are somewhat inactive, so she has to do many things by herself.

The greatest prosperity must inevitably decline, and the way of heaven emphasizes balance and restraint. This is an unchanging truth. Li Ran's becoming a saint also consumed the luck accumulated by the Li family for generations in some aspects.

If Li Mengning hadn't been around in this generation, I'm afraid the Li family wouldn't even be able to get a hold of the position of saint, and could only watch helplessly as the Ji family and the Wang family competed.

The clan elders in the main hall have long been accustomed to the conversational habits of Li Qingdu and Li Qingshu and are not surprised.

More people were looking at Jiang Lan, who was standing quietly in the hall. He was wearing a moon-white robe, even the sleeves were spotless, his dark hair was tied up casually, without a crown, his body was slender, and his face was like a crown of jade. He is handsome and elegant, with clear eyes, elegant and refined. His whole figure seems to be a world of its own. Just standing there gives people a feeling of being as vast as the deep sea.

At this moment, the elders, who were still a little confused about the sudden announcement of Supreme Leader Li Ran to hold the Holy Son Ceremony, all reacted and were extremely shocked.

No one paid much attention to Jiang Lan, who had grown to such an incredible level.

For a while, they couldn't tell whether the many rumors about Jiang Lan in the Great Xia Emperor's Capital were true or not.

Is he really unable to cultivate these years, or is he just hiding his capabilities and biding his time?

Of course, this kind of thing must involve the secrets of Jiang Lan and the Prime Minister's Mansion, so everyone knew enough not to ask any more questions.

Jiang Lan naturally did this on purpose. A saintly family like the Li family has always emphasized the law of the jungle.

If you want your family to devote resources and train them with all their strength, you must have corresponding strength.

Grandpa is also a saint in this world, who can decide the world with one word. Apart from the inheritance of the Blood Immortal Sect and some important secrets of his own, which are not easy to reveal, what is the purpose of cultivation? What else can he hide and worry about?

He doesn't have any invincible enemies now. He needs to lie dormant and hide, pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.

He simply showed his strength openly and openly. Now many clan elders in the hall have shut up. This is also the reason.

"Lan'er, have you condensed the Dharma of Heaven and Earth now?"

At this time, a voice came from the hall. An old man in gray robe with bright eyes, but some protruding cheekbones and a relatively tall and sturdy figure asked.

Jiang Lan already knew this person's identity through his mother's introduction. He immediately smiled and nodded, "Back to Third Master, I have just condensed the Dharma of Heaven and Earth not long ago."

After receiving his affirmative reply, the smile on the old man's face deepened, and the faces of many elders around him also showed excitement.

At this age, no matter what the actual combat power is, condensing the laws of heaven and earth and breaking through the seven realms is already a shocking thing.

You must know that some of the outer sect elders of Taiyi Sect are only in the sixth realm.

For example, many of the young leaders of the top immortal sects are only at the fifth level of cultivation. Only the most core and top geniuses like Li Mengning who can compete for the position of saint are at the sixth level.

With this alone, Jiang Lan is already far ahead of countless young geniuses.

"it is good……"

The old man in gray robe laughed, and then the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and his figure disappeared into the hall like a ghost.

The next moment, he appeared in front of Jiang Lan out of thin air. His big hands were like cattail leaf fans, glowing with earth-yellow light and runes flashing, as if a thick piece of earth was pressing down.

The surging and terrifying energy was like a rolling wave, overwhelming the sky and the earth. The faces of many clan elders changed, and they couldn't help but retreat back.

Some of the young clansmen who followed their elders and came to the hall were even more unbearable. Their faces suddenly turned red and they almost couldn't breathe.

In an instant, the formations engraved in the hall were activated, ancient symbols emerged one after another, and divine light intertwined to resist.

Jiang Lan seemed to have guessed that the old man in gray robe would take action, his face and expression remained unchanged, and his figure was even more motionless.

He also raised a hand and slapped it with the same gesture. The palm of his hand glowed very slowly, like a random palm. But in the eyes of many tribesmen, it became unpredictable, like an antelope. Hanging corner, no trace to be found.

Many young tribesmen were so sad that they wanted to vomit blood. They hurriedly looked away, not daring to look again. Their hearts were shocked and horrified.

boom! ! !

The palms of the two collided in mid-air, a terrifying sonic boom sounded, and layers of air waves flew away. If this was not the case in the Li Family Hall, the void would have been torn apart.

The next moment, the old man in gray robe who was the first to take action noticed something was wrong and let out a sigh. His palm failed to gain any upper hand. On the contrary, he felt a little numb in the tiger's mouth.

Then he increased his strength, and the palm of his hand was like an acre of thick loess. When it was pressed down, Jiang Lan's palm also glowed at the same time, evolving into a green lake-like glow, like water conducive to all things without competing for it. The vast and boundless breath carried this thick soil and held it firmly. Take it prisoner.
