Chapter 165: Jumping Off the Cliff to Die
An hour later, She Rujie returned looking dirty and disheveled.
“Sir, what happened?” a beautiful woman asked, welcoming She Rujie with concern.
“Dad, are you okay?”
She Shiyun and She Shihan hurriedly inquired as well.
Just moments ago, they were preparing to go to the county to seek help, but unexpectedly, their dad returned.
“Damn it, how would I know? That group of officers were crazy! They took me to a cliff, and I was terrified. I thought they were going to kill me, but instead, they jumped off the cliff together, shattering to pieces! I ran back after they jumped,” She Rujie said, looking frustrated.
“W-what? Could it be that you encountered something unclean?”
Hearing She Rujie’s words, the beautiful woman looked horrified.
“I don’t know, but with so many officers dead, how am I supposed to explain this to the court?” She Rujie said with a worried expression.
“This…” The beautiful woman also looked anxious.
That evening, everyone in the She family wore a worried expression.
While the She family was frowning, several of Monkey Ling’s subordinates returned to the Hou family.
“Master, something terrible has happened…”
“What’s going on?”
“Master, those officers jumped off the cliff and died!”
“What? How did this happen?”
“Master, you sent those officers to capture Li Xiaojun, but unexpectedly, they didn’t capture Li Xiaojun, they went after She Rujie instead. Then, they took She Rujie to a cliff, and all jumped off. We saw it happen!”
“What?”
Monkey Ling looked shocked upon hearing this.
“Are you sure?”
“Sure, we saw it with our own eyes.”
Hastily, Monkey Ling said, “The cultivator must be Li Xiaojun, and he is definitely a powerful Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.”
“It’s over, the Hou family is finished…”
Monkey Ling’s face filled with fear.
Only a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator can make a group of officers jump off a cliff using mental control.
And a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator is not someone that a small county officer’s family like them can provoke.
“Master, maybe the other party doesn’t know it was you who did it,” one subordinate said to Monkey Ling.
“What do you mean by that?” Monkey Ling was taken aback.
“Master, those officers were controlled and took She Rujie from the She family. Perhaps the other party thinks the officers were sent by She Rujie.”
“Is that really how it is?” Monkey Ling was astonished.
“Of course it’s true,” a subordinate quickly said.
“If that’s the case, then that’s good, that’s good,” Monkey Ling nodded in fear.
“By the way, is She Rujie dead?” Monkey Ling hurriedly asked his subordinate.
“No, She Rujie didn’t jump off the cliff, but he was so scared he almost wet himself,” the subordinate replied.
Upon hearing this, Monkey Ling immediately understood.
Li Xiaojun must have taken a liking to She Shiyun of the She family, so he let go of She Rujie, his father-in-law.
It seemed that he should not provoke She Shiyun in the future.
No wonder She Shiyun liked him; it turned out he was a cultivator and possibly a powerful Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.
Just as Monkey Ling was deep in thought,
suddenly, at that moment,
a wave of mental energy struck.
Out of the blue, Monkey Ling began bleeding from all seven orifices and fell down straight.
Seeing the condition of Monkey Ling, all the subordinates were dumbfounded.
“Please spare us, we beg you, Immortal…”
Quickly, one clever person knelt down to plead for mercy.
Soon after, other subordinates also began to kneel and plead for mercy.
After a while, several of them had knocked their heads so much that they could no longer continue; they trembled as they knelt on the ground.
After a long time, seeing that they were safe, a few subordinates slowly regained their senses.
“What should we do, Brother Si Liang?”
“What to do? Pack up and run.”
“But shouldn’t we tell the master?”
“How do we tell him? Just say the young master was killed by a cultivator? Will the master believe that? Even if he does believe it, what if he orders us to deal with the cultivator?”
“Right, we need to pack our things and leave immediately.”
“But I have a family…”
“Just take them along and flee together. If the young master is dead, no matter how he died, the master won’t let us off.”
“Okay, let’s run.”
“First, we need to hide the young master’s body; we can’t let the master find out about it too soon.”
“Got it.”
Quickly, a few of them hid Monkey Ling’s body and then ran away together.
Four days later, the Hou family discovered the long-dead body of Monkey Ling in a cellar.
Shortly after, the Hou family also found out that several of Monkey Ling’s subordinates had fled.
Instantly, the entire county was in chaos.
In Xiaowan Village, Li Xiaojun naturally did not pay attention to the commotion in the county.
He continued to sneak over the wall into She Shiyun’s courtyard every night.
Under such circumstances, She Shiyun’s affection for Li Xiaojun grew deeper.
One day, as Li Xiaojun was about to leave, She Shiyun held his hand.
“Brother Xiaojun, you want me, right? If we just make it official, I can get my dad to agree to us being together,” She Shiyun said shyly to Li Xiaojun.
“Th-this…”
One hour later.
【System Notification: Detected target has top-grade spirit root talent.

“Eh? Top-grade spirit roots?”
Upon hearing the system’s notification, Li Xiaojun was very surprised.
He did not expect She Shiyun to actually have top-grade spirit roots.
A top-grade spirit root could go undiscovered until the age of 17.
But soon, Li Xiaojun thought about the situation in the Yu Hua Divine Dynasty.
The Yu Hua Divine Dynasty was completely controlled by the royal family, major families, and various small sects.
In the royal family of the Yu Hua Divine Dynasty, nearly every adult male had married many wives and concubines.
Royal women usually summoned sons-in-law, allowing the royal family to have a vast population resource.
This large population resource led to more children with spirit roots being born.
Thus, most of those who could cultivate in the Yu Hua Divine Dynasty were royal family members.
Ordinary people did not even have access to spirit root testing.
As for the major families and small sects, the situation was similar.
In the Yu Hua Divine Dynasty, those qualified to cultivate were all of royal blood and family members.
Even in the sects, they were all junior disciples from various factions.
As a result, ordinary people in the Yu Hua Divine Dynasty had no opportunity for spirit root testing, let alone for cultivation.
Even cultivation techniques were forbidden; if an ordinary person dared to privately collect or practice techniques, they would be punished severely.
Of course, this situation was not unique to the Yu Hua Divine Dynasty. Other places, like Taihuang Star and Tian Shu Star, had similar conditions for the Human Race.
Thus, this led to the cultivation world in the entire Big Dipper Star Field having great difficulty producing Tribulation stage great emperors.
The cultivation world of Taihuang Star was entirely different.
All ordinary children there had one opportunity for spirit root testing, and if they had spirit roots, they could receive training from the alliance.
In the Big Dipper Star Field, cultivation was entirely controlled by a few individuals, leaving ordinary people with little hope of involvement.
