Chapter 1061: Chapter 218: Clearing the False Charges, The Arrival of a Desperate Situation_2

Grudges… Emperor Yu nodded slightly and said, “When we meet Haotian Venerate, we’ll certainly try our best to persuade him.”

He had already seen that while these Saints treated them politely, they mainly intended to use them to persuade Li Hao, otherwise, why show such a good face?

Moreover, they had no choice and couldn’t negotiate with these Saints.

The members of the Li family stopped saying anything further upon seeing Emperor Yu make a decision himself.

The Source Ancestor gestured to his disciple, Xiao Tianyu.

Xiao Tianyu understood the signal, turned around, and shortly after, brought a group of figures with him.

Seeing these figures, the Li family members were somewhat puzzled, but Li Muxiu and Li Qingzheng were stunned, as they recognized several familiar faces among them. These were ancestors of the Li family who had come to the Land of All Saints before, their portraits still in the ancestral hall.

With the introduction from the Source Ancestor, both sides quickly realized that they were all from the Li family.

Li Tian Gang led Li Xuanli and others to quickly pay respects, and even Li Muxiu and Li Qingzheng had to bow their heads in salutation. Although they might be older than these ancestors due to staying in the Mortal World, those in front of them were still their ancestors in terms of rank and bloodline.

Within the ancestral hall, many Heroic Spirits of the ancestors flew out to look at these members of the Li family who were in the Immortal Gate.

All Saints waited patiently for them to recognize each other. The Source Ancestor dispersed the projection, as many matters had already been explained in advance to the Li family members in the Holy Land, leaving it to them to carefully persuade Li Hao.

A night passed.

The next day, the Source Ancestor led the group, accompanied by All Saints, heading to a certain place in the void in search of Li Hao.

Thinking of soon meeting Li Hao, everyone was somewhat excited.

Ren Qianqian held her sword tightly, her heart surging. After over a hundred years, she was finally going to meet Li Hao again.

Not long after.

With successive crossings of the void, the Saints performed shifts of heaven and earth, and such means once again opened the eyes of the group.

As a grand Saint Mountain appeared in front of them, the Source Ancestor slowed his pace, leading the group to fly slowly closer.

On Saint Mountain, Li Hao was constructing the mountaintop.

With a powerful Primordial Spirit, he had long shrouded the surroundings. When the Source Ancestor and others just traversed through the rift, he sensed their presence; after all, with All Saints gathered together, their aura was too conspicuous.

However, beyond the aura of All Saints, Li Hao quickly noticed many familiar auras appearing.

He couldn’t help but be stunned, immediately looking joyfully over, at once seeing Emperor Yu, Ren Qianqian, and others.

Apart from them, he also saw Uncle Second, Uncle Fifth, and even Aunt He Jianlan, who had cared for him since childhood.

And that little chubby boy… how did he become a big chubby boy?

Li Hao was somewhat surprised to see Li Yuanzhao, already in middle age and portly.

If not for his unchanging aura, he might not recognize him; the change was too great.

As they approached, everyone also saw Li Hao and immediately recognized him.

Li Hao hadn’t changed much. For someone of his cultivation level, maintaining a youthful appearance over millennia was possible. If not embarrassed, even old Saints of tens of thousands of years could present themselves as children.

“Hao!”

The already middle-aged Li Yuanzhao couldn’t hold back his excitement upon seeing Li Hao, his eyes moist as he rushed directly to Li Hao.

Emperor Yu’s eyes subtly heated up, yet he remained restrained, with only one thought in his heart: this child indeed hasn’t changed a bit, still the familiar appearance.

Ren Qianqian bit her lip slightly, tears like broken pearls rolled down her cheeks as she slowly floated towards Li Hao, seemingly afraid that the dream would wake up if she moved too quickly.

Beside her, Li Ping’an stared blankly at that figure.

Just as the countless statues he had seen, while there were some changes, they weren’t obvious. He was even more handsome, full of heroic spirit, with an unparalleled, radiant aura, not a quality any statue could exude.

This is… his brother?

Soon, Li Ping’an noticed Ren Qianqian’s appearance. Although behind her, his Divine Sense could see the woman crying her heart out. It felt as though his heart was severely pierced.

“Yuan Zhao, Qianqian.”

Seeing them approach, Li Hao stopped his construction work, happily going to greet them.

Then, he glanced further to see the Source Ancestor and All Saints, instantly comprehending the reason.

However, at this moment, he didn’t want the Saints to affect his mood. Regardless, seeing them again was a joy.

“Hao, I missed you so much…”

Li Yuanzhao directly fell into Li Hao’s embrace, crying loudly.

Though appearing as a robust middle-aged man, he was like a child, uttering sentimental words.

Li Hao was a bit surprised but didn’t inquire further. He faintly felt this little fellow hadn’t been doing well.

Among the Li family members, a beautiful woman with a refined hairpin and a cold gaze was shocked watching this scene.

She was Li Yuanzhao’s wife, having married into the Li family recently; she had heard of Li Yuanzhao’s great friendship with the sole Heavenly General of Dayu, calling each other brothers. She had thought it was Li Yuanzhao’s own boasting. After all, Li Yuanzhao’s talent was one step short of a rare genius, let alone comparing with that Heavenly General.

Especially when soon after, Li Yuanzhao suddenly became dispirited, drinking daily. When she inquired about the reason, he didn’t answer.

She grew more dissatisfied, often unable to resist mocking him a few times, and over time, their marital relationship had worsened significantly.

Unexpectedly, such a scene unfolded before her eyes.

That invincible youth, the Heavenly General of Dayu, the Unbeatable of All Heavens, was embracing her seemingly worthless husband.

“Don’t cry, don’t cry, I’m still here…”

Li Hao gently patted his shoulder, softly comforting him.
