Lady Su’s Revenge
chapter-317

Chapter 317The Overthrow of Regime

“It’s the feeling of intrigue.”

Indifference gradually appeared on the face of the mirror spirit after Su Li disappeared, “Was it a conspiracy that she woke me up in the past?”

The mirror spirit was one of the oldest existences in the universe and had perceptions of everything both in the past and the future. It fell into a sound sleep again since Su Li had entered in Reincarnation Mirror. Its waking this time was due to Xiaoshen, and the feeling of the threat from Su Li.

What could threat the mirror spirit?

It was obvious… It wasn’t from Su Li but someone who manipulated her!

So, when it couldn’t trace to the source, it made a prompt decision to end Su Li’s life! Then, the underlying crisis could vanish in advance.

With the disappearance of Su Li, the mirror spirit was sure that the hidden crisis had faded, so, it closed its eyes slowly and fell asleep.

Because of the ancient war, it hurt severely that it had to rely on a long sleep to recover because there were no other healing treasures.

…

As time went by, suddenly, it passed half a year in the neverland. During the period, the secular world… was completely different.

There were quiescence and silence in the imperial palace in Dahan Country, which was like the peace after boisterous weather.

Bright sunlight brought warmth to the shady great hall through the wooden door. Standing in front of the golden chair, Ling Li’s face was as cold as winter, and like bottomless, shivery pool.

Dongfang Wuxue shrank his neck, and drew his eyes back. There was a sense of fear appeared on his face, though he had just killed his father.

It was just because his mother had been killed by his father in the past.

He could not receive any news about his mother in the past two years. It was not because she didn’t love him, but because his mother, the only one who cared about him in the world, had disappeared.

Thinking of this, the grimness appeared on his young face. He looked at the kneeling officials with hatred, and thought those people must have been related with the death of his mother.

Among the officials, Mrs. Gu felt the most stunned. She stared at her grandson, who looked like an outstanding emperor, standing in front of the golden chair with his tall and straight figure.

Was this… still her third grandchild?

Last night, she was ordered to participate in today’s levee and thought that would be a game with Dongfang Xiao as usual. To her surprise, as soon as she entered the hall, she saw all the officials kneeling on the ground, shouting at Dongfang Xiao who was in horror,

“We beg you to abdicate!”

“We beg you to abdicate!”

“We beg you to abdicate!”

…

Her third grandson, who had always been a playboy, stood beside Dongfang Xiao, holding a sword, with a killing sense,

“Dongfang Xiao, as the king, you are envious of people who had greater ability and go against the tide of history. You assassinated three generations of Ling Family, including my grandfather, my father and my brother! How can you be the king with your evil heart! Dongfang Wuxue!”

“Yes!”

Dongfang Wuxue had always acted as a harmless one among the numerous princes. But at this moment, he acted cruelly like a baby tiger, “You are my father, but you killed my mother. You must die for it!”

Then he raised the sword in his hand and mercilessly cut down Dongfang Xiao whose cultivation was sealed!

A big head rolled from the chair to Ma De who was trembling. Dongfang Xiao could never have imagined he would be killed by his son.

Meanwhile, he was confused why the supporters of Dongfang Family didn’t help them when they were in crisis.

In the palace, many officials pressed their breath for fear of disturbing the man that turned away from them until Mrs. Gu stepped forward excitedly and murmured, “Li…”

Ling Li was surprised slightly. He turned around and walked down from the golden stage. He helped Mrs. Gu sit down slowly in the increasingly frightened atmosphere and forced a smile,

“Grandma, except Dongfang Xiao, all the murderers of Dongfang Family who had participated in the action of assassinating have been killed. When I finish my chores, I will accompany you back home and bring the head of Dongfang Xiao to grandpa as offering.”

“Great! Great! Great!”

Mrs. Gu was very excited. She flushed, “My dear grandson, you misled us for years.”

Ling Li lowered his head, “Sorry to bother you, grandma.”

“Sorry? Why should you say so?!”

Mrs. Gu stared at Ling Li with proud and raised her head, and her voice rang through the hall like a bell, “If it is not because you have endured so many years of humiliation, how could you kill our old enemy today? If we knew your plan in advance, it would be easy to disguise it for a while, but Dongfang Xiao will surely find the truth finally!”

As she said so, Mrs. Gu pleasurably looked at the head at the foot of Ma De. When she looked back to Ling Li, her pride and joy turned into the tender love for her grandson.

“More than ten years of camouflage is not a joke! These years I thought you failed to live up to my expectations. You had a hard time at home, but endured these and improved yourself secretly. How difficult! So… I’m the one who should say sorry!”

Seeing the old woman wept bitterly in front of him, Ling Li suddenly felt relaxed, as if the sufferings and tiredness over the past ten years were nothing for him. At the same time, he was relieved.

Finally, it was over.

Then… he could have time to find Su Li.

“That’s great, Li! I didn’t expect you to be so promising.”

Tang Lei, who knelt behind Prime Minister Tang, suddenly stood up and came to Ling Li happily, “You’re great, I’ve been sick of Dongfang Xiao for a long time!”

Prime Minister Tang was slightly frightened and intended to stand up to pull Tang Lei back, but Ling Li smiled and patted Tang Lei’s shoulder, “You’re not bad.”

“You’re much better than me.”

Tang Lei laughed all the time. Seeing this, Prime Minister Tang relaxed but shook his head and sighed.

Did this mean that fools are lucky?

After cooperating with Yinmo Cult, he knew Ling Li was “Childe Li”, but he didn’t tell Tang Lei this for fear of frightening him.

After a short time, an imperial decree was issued, and the successor to the emperor was Dongfang Wuxue. Dahan Country had not suffered the fate of changing its name, but everyone knew that the real power no longer belonged to Dongfang Family.

…

After a while, at Ling Mansion,

Ling Ping and Qiu Meng, who hadn’t gone to the levee, stared at the young man who helped Mrs. Gu walk slowly, and couldn’t tell whether they were in reality or in dreams.

“Li, your legs…”

At this moment, Qiu Meng could only see the young man who was much taller than her. She looked up at her son and burst into tears, giving him a huge hug.

“Mom…”

Ling Li sighed and said nothing, because no other words were needed.

“Good boy!”

Ling Ping acted as if he met his third younger brother for the first time. He thought of something and connected immediately Ling Li and the one in his mind together. He laughed,

“I have always been curious about the man who secretly saved me for many times. Although the figure was very similar, it was not the same as what I saw before. It was you!”

Ling Li smiled and said quietly, “Dongfang Xiao killed our father and eldest brother in that way. When I was stronger, I could not confront him, but I would not let him do it again.”

Ling Ping immediately thought of something and became frightened, “Today grandma went to the levee, you…”

Before he finished, Mrs. Gu suddenly threw a package into his arms, “Ping, look at this!”

Everything was the same as Ling Li said. He cut the head of Dongfang Xiao to comfort the dead members of Ling Family. Everything was going well, but Qiu Meng felt Ling Li was unhappy and became more complicated.

“Is that because of her?”

A comely and beautiful face appeared in her mind, and she couldn’t help being lost in thought. More than a year had passed, but Li still remembered her.

Since her son had been pretending to be a foppish man, and didn’t judge girls by their appearance, did he really love her so much?

Su Li… Where on earth did she go?

Qiu Meng sighed. Lord Rui also had tried his best to look for her, but she seemed to vanish from the world and no news came in this year and a half.

“Mom…”

As she pondered, she heard Ling Li’s voice. She looked up and saw Ling Li standing in the doorway with a calm and impatient look.

“Li, come in.”

Ling Li walked into the room and closed the door as usual. It reminded her what Ling Li did for Su Li the last time. He came to her just for the question “How to win a girl’s heart?”

It’s no exception in this time.

“Mom, please take the token.”

Ling Li said no more words and thrusted a black diamond token into Qiu Meng. Seeing Qiu Meng was completely confused, he said, “It’s a amulet withstanding any form of attack under the longevity realm and it is also a commanding token mobilizing some power of Yinmo Cult.”

“Yinmo Cult?”

Qiu Meng was shocked, even if she did not practice, she still felt scared when she heard the name of Yinmo Cult.

“You can use the power of Yinmo Cult, the supreme power hidden in Dahan Country?”

She suddenly reminded of something and thrilled, “Li… The head of Yinmo Cult was called ‘Childe Li’. Are you…”

Ling Li smiled gently. Ling Mo stood beside the door. Finding that Ling Li did not intend to hide the truth, he immediately bowed down and said, “Madam is right, the young master is ‘Childe Li!’, the head of Yinmo Cult, the famous power in martial arts circle.”
