Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 272 - 10: Surviving Direct Lineage of the Annihilated Clan (Part 10)
Li Shuning sneered coldly, "How did I force you? Would the Clan Leader have allowed you to reincarnate if you hadn’t agreed? Without the Li Family, who do you think you are? You destroyed the Li Family, and you claim you’re not at fault? Sure, you’re blameless. To you, it’s all about you. How could you be wrong about that? The Li Family’s extinction doesn’t matter to you; after all, only those who were better and pushed you to strive died."
"Haha, how laughable. Without the capability, why pretend to be a big bad wolf? Without the capability, and yet you want others to admire you. Li Zuoming, you are truly hypocritical."
"Now without the Li Family’s aura, you’ve become someone’s lapdog and have to flatter Miss Chu. How do you feel about that? Haha, thrillingly satisfying, isn’t it, loser?"
Li Zuoming was on the verge of rage. He couldn’t believe Li Shuning was mocking him so viciously without even begging for mercy.
Li Zuoming retorted coldly, "Shuning, you might not know this yet, but inside the Marrow Jade, there’s a Deceitful Spider sealed. Haha, back then, the entire Li Family, along with all the families in the Divine Domain, combined forces to seriously injure and seal the Deceitful Spider. Yet it didn’t die, and I released it. Haha, I’ve become its minion, so what? In the Divine Domain, it is the strongest existence. The once mighty Li Family was destroyed by its hands, and now don’t the other nine families obey him? What’s shameful about becoming its minion? Others want to and can’t, I’m proud of it."
"Haha, Shuning, that’s power. That’s the charm of power. What are the ten families in the face of power? Nothing. You understand nothing. You may be a genius of the Li Family, but in front of the Deceitful Spider, you are nothing."
"So, for power, you wiped out the Li Family that birthed and nourished you. Did you know your real sister was strangled by the Chu family?"
"And yet what of it? Do you know why the Deceitful Spider was so intent on exploring the secrets of the Li Family? Because without the Li Family, it wouldn’t have been sealed. Haha, although it never found the Li Family’s secret, the family was wiped out, so now nothing can threaten the Deceitful Spider."
Then he said a few more words, and afterward, Li Shuning was sent away by Li Zuoming.
Of course, Li Shuning met the Deceitful Spider Li Zuoming spoke of.
Also, the one in the story that tormented her.
The Deceitful Spider wore a black robe, eerie and strange, just like in the plot, aiming to extract Li Shuning’s bloodline.
Back then, Li Shuning didn’t know why she was constantly tormented. Only after listening to Li Zuoming did she understand what it was after.
Was it their intention to transfer her bloodline to Li Zuoming?
Li Shuning merely smiled; that was impossible.
If the Deceitful Spider wanted to stay unrestrained, why would it create a Li Family member?
Li Zuoming was still too naive.
Soon, the Deceitful Spider realized there was no traceable bloodline on Li Shuning’s body. What was going on?
What on earth was the secret hidden within the Li Family?
Why did the Li Family destroy its bloodline long ago, unwilling to let anyone peek?
And why did Li Shuning have no traceable bloodline?
This was already a mere avatar of Li Shuning, who grinned upon understanding everything she needed to know.
With a flick of her hand, the avatar suddenly exploded into chunks of flesh.
The Deceitful Spider was absolutely furious.
When Li Zuoming saw the pieces of flesh, he was utterly despairing.
Without Li Shuning’s bloodline, how could he, how could he...?
In the end, Li Zuoming returned to the Chu Clan Territory.
Without substitutable bloodlines, he could only firmly cling to Miss Chu.
Returning to the Chu Clan, he found it in utter chaos.
When they saw him, their expressions changed drastically, and in the next moment, countless Chu family members surrounded him.
Li Zuoming found it baffling and managed to hold his temper, asking, "What are you doing? How dare you?"
"Li Zuoming, indeed, you’re audacious. Miss Chu was deeply affectionate towards you and did so much for you, yet you dared to harm her. You have a death wish."
"What do you mean? How did I harm Miss Chu?"
"Then tell me, what were you doing last night? Miss Chu was lured to the Cloud Sea by you, and she perished, yet you’re unharmed. Explain what you did to Miss Chu, you ingrate."
Li Zuoming stumbled, unsure of what this meant. Miss Chu perished?
How could she die? She was the Chu family’s Miss Chu. How could she die?
"No, I didn’t. I didn’t lure Miss Chu. Last night, I was with the elder, I didn’t lure Miss Chu. Miss Chu must have been harmed by someone else. Where are Miss Chu’s followers?"
"Hmph, if not you, then who? This note clearly bears your handwriting."
"Miss Chu’s followers, in their bid to protect her, have already perished too. And you dare to blame others; despicable."
A fight broke out among the crowd.
Before long, the Clan Leader of the Chu family arrived.
"Release him."
"Clan Leader, Clan Leader, how can we release him? He killed Miss Chu."
"I said release him. He was indeed with the elder last night."
"Li Zuoming, although Youyou wasn’t killed by you, what does it matter? She died because of you. From today onwards, leave the Chu family, and never set foot in the Chu family again. Or else, I won’t spare you out of respect for that elder."
Li Zuoming left the Chu Clan Territory in a daze.
How could this happen? How could this happen?
Why did it turn out this way?
The bloodline was gone, and all these years he had been searching for Li Shuning.
Back at the Li Clan Land, he never found Li Shuning’s body. He knew she was still alive.
This foolish cousin, he had been waiting for her to emerge. She would undoubtedly trust him. With her bloodline, he would naturally grow powerful, and though the Li Family perished, a greater Li Family would rise if he succeeded.
But now, that dream shattered.
Haha, he looked at his hands, unable to accept it.
Why did it turn out like this?
Originally, he’d thought without the bloodline, he could rely on Chu Youyou, but Chu Youyou died. Now what would he do?
What would he do in the future?
To the Deceitful Spider, he was probably just bait to lure out the Li Family people.
Now he had no use anymore.
Would the Deceitful Spider still help him?
No, it wouldn’t.
Li Zuoming knelt on the ground, feeling lost and confused.
In the shadows, Li Shuning watched everything unfold before her.
Hmph, if he didn’t want to be the Clan Leader’s son, choosing instead to be a lackey and destroying his every aspiration, she’d like to see what he would do now.
Li Shuning wouldn’t kill him in vain.
Killing him wouldn’t let the deceased Li Family members rest in peace.
It wasn’t solely this Deceitful Spider that caused the Li Family’s extinction; back then, all nine other clans were involved.
Perhaps Chu Youyou wasn’t involved and was innocent, but how innocent were the Li Family members back then? And how innocent was the Li Family girl strangled by the Chu family alive?
