613  Talk With Xue Aotian

Xuanyuan Ling, who had just entered a room, was shocked when she saw one of the wooden plaques on the altar shattered.

"Impossible! How could Jingtian die? Who killed him?" Xuanyuan Ling then touched it with her index finger while mumbling some incoherent language, and it glowed for a moment before disappearing. "Long Wang? Why did he kill him? What happened between them?"

After that, Xuanyuan Ling summoned her descendants, and several people immediately entered the room, including Xuanyuan Lingyan.

They were also shocked once they saw the name on the wooden plaque, but the saddest among them was Xuanyuan Xing, especially since Xuanyuan Jingtian was his son. "Mother, what actually happened? How could he suddenly die?"

Xuanyuan Ling let out a heavy sigh before telling them, and they became even more shocked when they heard Chen Li's name. "I've used the technique taught by Ancestor Lanyin, and his name appeared in my mind, so I couldn't be wrong about it. However, I don't understand the reason he killed Jingtian, and we can only confirm this matter by meeting him."

Xuanyuan Ning then spoke to her. "Grandma, Long Wang previously said he wanted to meet the Xue Clan, so I think he should still be there now."

"Let's go there now." Xuanyuan Ling then led them out of the room. "However, you guys should restrain yourselves, especially since the little girl by his side is powerful, and she can kill us all without us realizing that we are already dead."

"Yes!"

"What exactly is your relationship with my daughter? Why does she address you as her father?" Without beating around the bush, Xue Tian questioned Chen Li, but there was jealousy in his eyes, especially since Xue Lan had never behaved like that to him, and she had always been cold instead.

"You're jealous of me because of Lan'er, huh?" Xue Aotian neither refuted nor agreed with Chen Li's words. "Didn't you already know that he is a reincarnator? Like her, I am also a reincarnator, and I was his father in our past lives."

Chen Li's confession made Xue Aotian's jaw drop, but he felt strange in his heart, especially since he was Xue Lan's current father. "Are you serious?"

"In fact, Lan'er is not my biological daughter; I met her accidentally, but I already regard her as my own." Chen Li then told Xue Aotian about his first encounter with Xue Lan, as well as the hundreds of years they'd spent together. "That's why you don't need to be jealous of me just because her attitude towards the two of us is different, especially since I've spent so much more time with her than you have, and I was also the one who taught her all her knowledge about cultivation."

After hearing that, Xue Aotian let out a helpless sigh, and he finally knew why Xue Lan was so cold towards him, even though he was his biological father. In the past, she only told them that she was a reincarnator; she didn't tell them too many details about her previous life. "Honestly, I still find it hard to believe about reincarnation and reincarnator, even though Lan'er has explained both to us in the past, especially since I've never experienced it myself."

"Well, such things are indeed unusual for ordinary cultivators like you, but people in higher realms always believe that reincarnation is real." Xue Aotian was silent as he listened to Chen Li speak, but he suddenly felt an unusual aura radiate from his body, which showed his superiority and majesty. "Many reincarnators exist, but not everyone can reincarnate with intact memories, and there are numerous requirements to preserve our old memories. Lan'er, on the other hand, differs from me in that she was able to retain her past memories without having to seal them before her reincarnation. Furthermore, she told me that she already had her past memories from when she was still in your wife's womb, and I had never heard of such a thing in my life, so I thought that it was truly a miracle for her to be able to do that."

Xue Aotian nodded in agreement with Chen Li, especially since he had always followed his daughter's progress since she was born, and she had even become a cultivator as soon as she was born. At first, he and his wife thought that their daughter was a genius, especially since Xue Lan could cultivate and master many high-level techniques so quickly, but she became colder and colder as she grew older due to the effects of her techniques. However, their assumptions changed after she told them about reincarnation and reincarnators, and it took them a long time to accept that fact.

Xue Aotian released a heavy sigh before changing the topic of their conversation. "What are your plans regarding the Xuanyuan Clan? I'm sure Old Madam Ling and the others already know of Xuanyuan Jingtian's death by now, and I think they will arrive here soon. Since their arrival in this realm, no one has dared to go against them, let alone kill their clan members, especially since they were afraid of Xuanyuan Lanyin, and the current ruler also respected them so much."

"I don't have any plans regarding them." Chen Li, with a casual smile, answered, making Xue Aotian frown. "I just need to explain to them why I killed Xuanyuan Jingtian, and I will fight them if they cannot accept my reasons. Even though they are Xuanyuan Lanyin's direct descendants, I will not hesitate to eliminate them if they choose to become my enemies."

Xue Aotian did not refute Chen Li's words, especially since he was several levels stronger than Xuanyuan Ling. However, Xiao Shijian could stop him without breaking a sweat, so he was aware that they could wipe out the Xuanyuan Clan so easily. "Do you think they deserve to die?"

Chen Li shook his head before answering his question. "Whether they deserve to die or not depends on their decision, but I will have no qualms about killing my enemies."

"If you really do that, then this realm will be thrown into great chaos, and the other cultivators will probably hunt you down throughout this realm." Xue Aotian expressed this with a solemn expression, especially since there are many clans who respected the Xuanyuan Clan, even though significant others also harbored a deep-seated hatred for them.

"Perhaps this realm will experience great chaos, but I can't care about that." Xue Aotian folded his forehead at Chen Li's indifferent answer. "I've lived too long in the past, and I've seen so much cruelty in all realms, so I can say that this realm is much more peaceful compared to other realms, which makes the cultivators here too soft-hearted. If they leave for higher realms, especially my original realm, they will all die as soon as they set foot there."

"Is life in your original realm really that harsh?"

"Life in that place is too brutal, and you can see many corpses on the side of the road every day. Never mind attacking other people for no apparent reason; your head will immediately be separated from your body, even if you just misspoke." Xue Aotian took a deep breath after hearing Chen Li's words, and he thought that life in other realms was too terrible. "Xuanyuan Jingtian and I didn't know each other before, but he suddenly attacked me with the intention of killing me, and he did it because of his friendship with Hua Gaoyun, so I had to kill him first."

"Have you killed Hua Gaoyun?"

"Not yet." Chen Li answered by shaking his head. "However, I will immediately clean up that old fart once I return to the southern region, and I will also eliminate the Hua Clan if they want to take revenge against me."

Xue Aotian fell silent as he continued to look at Chen Li, trying to understand the reason behind his indifferent and cruel attitude. "Were you also this cruel in your past life?"

"Ha ha." Instead, Chen Li laughed at his question. "To be honest, I was too kind in the past, and I always tried to do the best for everyone in all realms, especially since I was their emperor."

"Emperor?" Xue Aotian let out a soft scream upon hearing that, and Chen Li immediately touched his forehead before sharing a tiny bit of his past memories.

After that, Xue Aotian immediately closed his eyes to look at Chen Li's memories, but his expression changed to shock when he saw the figure of Xuanyuan Lanyin kneeling on one leg before Emperor Long, who sat on his golden throne along with so many other powerful cultivators.

However, Xue Aotian could see that Emperor Long was friendly and open towards them, even though they were all his subordinates, and they even joked with each other. In addition to them, Xiao Shijian was also seated on his lap, joyfully joining in their conversation.

After a while, Xue Aotian opened his eyes and looked at Chen Li in awe. "Even a woman as strong as Xuanyuan Lanyin is your subordinate, huh?"

"In fact, I was the one who brought Xuanyuan Lanyin and the Xuanyuan Clan to this realm, so I know her very well." Chen Li then turned towards the distance after he sensed several auras moving towards them. "They're here."
