“Cause of death?”
Qin Li froze, then clenched his teeth, his face very ugly, “Fourth Elder, could it be that, what you mean is that my grandfather, he didn’t go out to look for me met the strongest members of the Dragon Family and the Huang Family and was surrounded and killed?”
The Fourth Elder nodded, “He did indeed meet the people of the Dragon Family and the Huang Family and was rounded up and killed, but how did the other party know about the news that your grandfather went out from here to the secular world in the first place?According to my investigation, it was someone who tipped off your grandfather, secretly followed him, and then told the people of the Dragon Family and the Huang Family about the location!”
Speaking here, she let out a cold snort, “Otherwise, how could the news of him going out be known by the people of those two families so quickly?Moreover, how could he be surrounded and killed just a few days after going out?How could there be such a coincidence?”
Qin Li’s face turned white with anger, gritting his teeth, he said with evil hatred, “Then do you know who it is?”
The Fourth Elder looked at Qin Li, “I can tell you something, but, don’t get excited!”
After saying this, she paused before turning to Qin Li, “The matter of the great battle back then, I can only suspect that it might have been the Grand Elder, but there’s no definite proof, and what I know about your grandfather’s matter is that at that time, not long after your grandfather left, there was a person who left the Qin Clan’s main house for a few days, and that person, was the Grand Protector, Zhou Lin!”
“Grand Protector?”
Qin Li frowned, trying his best to keep himself calm and hide his emotions, “Don’t worry, I won’t be impulsive and go directly to them, thank you for your reminder and for bringing me here, these people, I will keep an eye out for them in the future and be careful of them!”
Seeing Qin Li like this, the Fourth Elder’s eyes revealed a few moments of satisfaction as he nodded, “Very good, I didn’t expect that, you’re a lot more composed than I imagined, these things, are definitely not something you should have at your age!”
Qin Li smiled bitterly, “That’s because I’ve experienced more, sometimes, after experiencing more things, it’s only natural that you have to control your emotions, besides, even if I look for them, could it be that they’ll admit it?”
“Not bad, it’s people like you who have the potential to achieve great things!”
The old crone nodded once more, and then turned to Qin Li, “By the way, you can just call me Fourth Grandmother, after all, everyone calls me that, and according to seniority, I am indeed of this generation!”
“Many thanks Fourth Grandmother!”
Qin Li once again thanked the other party, “It’s just that, what I really want to know right now is, my parents, what happened to them?All I know now is that back then, there were two people who brought my parents and them back to the Qin Family, and they’re still alive, right?Where are they?Can I meet them?”
The Fourth Elder fell silent, clearly hesitating.
Seeing this, Xia Yu Fei immediately stepped forward and arched her hand at the Fourth Elder, “Fourth Grandmother, Qin Li, he really did pay a lot in order to find his parents, so just let him meet them, or, let him know their current situation?How about it?”
“Alright, letting you meet them shouldn’t be too much of a problem!”
After a moment of silence, the old crone then stood up, “Let’s go, the two of you can just follow me!”
“Well, thanks a lot!”
Qin Li’s heart was slightly delighted, he was finally going to meet his parents.
It was just that he didn’t know exactly how their situation was, nor did he know if he could cure them with his own medical skills.
Qin Li and the two of them followed the old crone and flew directly at low altitude, flying through a forest before circling around to the entrance of a cave in the back of the mountain almost to the top.
The Fourth Elder looked at Qin Li and realised that he was actually able to fly, and was somewhat surprised in his heart, “I didn’t expect that you were actually a Zong Shi!”
Qin Li smiled bitterly, “Thanks to the help of eighth grandpa, this is how I barely managed to break through to a Zong Shi, however, it’s no comparison to the geniuses of the Qin Clan’s main family!”
“Hehe, it’s already not easy for you to break through to a Sovereign Master in the secular world!No wonder this beauty will be your woman, so your kid’s cultivation isn’t low either!”
While talking, the few people stopped at the entrance of the cave.
Here, there were two old men with white hair guarding the place.
The old men seemed to sense something and snapped their eyes open.
“Fourth Elder, these two are?”
One of them asked with a puzzled expression after looking at Qin Li and Xia Yu Fei.
“Both of you, this is Qin Jiuxiao’s grandson, the son of Qin Yuanbo and Wen Shu, I brought him here to see his parents!”
The Fourth Elder looked at the two before saying.
“This is a forbidden land, under normal circumstances, one cannot just enter!”
One of the old men looked at Qin Li before nodding again, “However, since this is Qin Jiuxiao’s grandson, then you may go in, but don’t stay inside for too long!”
“Many thanks to the two seniors!”
Qin Li arched his hand and immediately thanked the other party.
After walking along the outside and inside of the cave for a while, they saw stone steps, and as they followed them downwards, there was an empty piece of land below.
However, just after coming down, Qin Li and Xia Yu Fei felt that the temperature in the surroundings was dropping constantly, and as they walked forward, the temperature dropped even more.
“Down here, why is it so cold?”
Qin Li sweats, such temperature, also thanks to his and Xia Yu Fei’s cultivation are quite high, this can withstand, this if replaced by ordinary people, I’m afraid that such temperature, simply can not withstand, estimated to have to be minus thirty or forty degrees.
Moreover, the front can be seen vaguely, there are some blue light shot over.
The Fourth Elder smiled bitterly, “You guys are Patriarchs, you should be fine, if your cultivation is too low, it would be difficult to come in, because on the ground where your parents are, the temperature has already reached minus eighty degrees!”
Qin Li and Xia Yu Fei glanced at each other and both swallowed hard, minus eighty degrees, what kind of concept is this!
Sure enough, the further they went inside, the temperature became even more frighteningly low.
At the end of the day, both Qin Li and Xia Yu Fei couldn’t help but gather some aura on their bodies, which made them feel a lot more comfortable.
When they came to a wide other side inside, Qin Li and Xia Yu Fei were stunned, inside, the ground was full of ice, and in the middle there, there were ice crystals almost two metres high, freezing a man and a woman inside.
Both of them had their eyes closed, looking very peaceful.
“Dad, Mum!”
Qin Li recognised the duo at a glance and directly ran over, kneeling on the ground at once, his outstretched hands trembling slightly.
He wanted to touch his parents, but unfortunately, his hands could only touch the thick ice crystals.
“Ai!”
The Fourth Elder sighed, she could understand this mood of Qin Li’s, at this moment, Qin Li looked very sad, even tears were falling from his eyes.
Xia Yu Fei stood by the side, also with mixed emotions, it was the first time she saw Qin Li this sad, finally he was meeting his parents, but, with his parents right in front of his eyes, he actually didn’t even have the chance to touch their bodies.
After a while, Qin Li then steadied himself, stood up, and asked the Fourth Elder, “Fourth Grandmother, my parents, what kind of situation is this for them right now?”
“Their situation, it’s very complicated, it can be said to be dead or not dead, specifically, it’s similar to a vegetable!”
The Fourth Elder smiled bitterly before continuing, “After we brought them back, we used a secret method of the family to barely stabilise their lives, however, they could die at any time.In order to keep them from dying, had to place those two beads, in each of their mouths, to instantly and completely freeze their bodies.”
“So, they still have lives now, but, it’s also the same as having no lives!”
The Fourth Elder smiled bitterly, “We are also helpless!”
“Fourth Grandmother, I know some medical skills, this ice is given a break, I want to examine and check my parents and their bodies, and strive to refine pills to save them back, is that alright?”
Qin Li asked after thinking about it.
He believed that as long as his parents still had a breath, there would definitely be a chance to save them.
“These two beads, are no ordinary beads, they were brought out by your parents and their family from inside that ancient relic back then, they are the most precious of treasures!”
“However, because of this, once these two beads are used, after freezing this place, these ice crystals, are simply unbreakable, even with a sword, a full force blow from a God level cultivation, is useless!”
After the Fourth Elder finished speaking, he paused before saying, “But, I think …… definitely have a way to break open this ice crystal!”
