Li Bi's tone was completely uncompromising, his attitude was extremely firm.
The Haoran Sect has been gaining momentum recently, which is a threat to the Nine Stars Empire. Suppression is necessary, but it cannot be too lenient.
The Imperial Family absolutely will not allow anyone within its sphere of influence who is not afraid of them.
Just like this Haoran Sect, they actually dared to kill members of their Royal Family in broad daylight, which has already crossed the line with the Royal Family.
If the Imperial Family is not properly suppressed, where will other forces find the respect they should have for it?
Yun Mo's face was extremely grim. "Elder Li Bi, only Li Liang died, this punishment is a bit too much!"
"Too much?"
Li Bi sneered, "So your choice is for the entire Haoran Sect to be wiped out? You killed my Royal Family members first, so even if I destroy your Haoran Sect, no one will say a word against it."
"Don't think that just because your Haoran Sect has one Immortal King, it's enough to make the Imperial Family wary. One Immortal King is nothing; even three or four wouldn't be enough to make the Imperial Family wary."
"Of course, the Immortal King is a formidable expert. Our Imperial Family has already shown him some respect, which is why we haven't destroyed the Haoran Sect. Otherwise, do you think the Haoran Sect would still be alive?"
His words were unequivocal and left no room for negotiation.
He seemed to be the Dominator of the Future of the Haoran Sect.
Yun Mo clutched his chest; Li Bi's attack had still caused him considerable injury. His face was ashen. How could a mere Li Liang want to cripple him, the sect Sect Master, and even the Heavenly Prodigy of their Haoran Sect?
How ridiculous!
Is this what Imperial Family is like?
Yun Mo considered himself to be from Righteous Path sect, so most of the things he did did not violate human nature. He also understood the cause and effect of Li Liang's matter. Li Liang was the one who was wrong, and Su Chen killing him was a way of eliminating evil and restoring peace.
The Imperial Family, however, acted so unreasonably.
Yun Mo suppressed his anger and forced a smile, saying humbly, "Elder Li Bi, my Haoran Sect is, after all, a vassal of the Royal Family, paying tribute to the Royal Family every year. Could you please be more lenient with the Imperial Family? Furthermore, my Haoran Sect is willing to offer any compensation."
That's how Sect Leader are; they have to do things that make them look good, and they also have to do things that make them look bad.
As the Sect Leader, he cannot escape responsibility; he must resolve every problem.
Li Bi's face showed a hint of impatience. "I've Elder said, the Imperial Family doesn't care about your stuff. What, Sect Leader Yun Mo, do you not want to die? Or do you want me to do it myself?"
"Don't blame me for being ruthless. If I make a move, your Haoran Sect will have no survivors."
After he finished speaking, he released an extremely dense killing intent from his body, which filled the entire hall with a chilling Mi Man.
Li Bi's eyes were full of mockery. The more Yun Mo wanted him to let Haoran Sect go, the less likely he was to agree.
The Haoran Sect, does it really think it has any weight?
He wanted everyone in Fengyang County to know that offending the Imperial Family would have no good end, and that the Haoran Sect would suffer a terrible fate so that others President their lesson.
While a hierarchy of disdain exists within the Imperial Family, Collateral Line are indeed insignificant.
However, the Collateral Line are also members of the Royal Family. If their deaths are ignored, it will greatly affect the prestige of the Royal Family. After all, the Royal Family is a collective, where everyone prospers or suffers together.
Yun Mo's eyes gradually turned cold. Although he was not a bad person, he was not a good person either. Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone a human being.
Li Bi pressing him relentlessly, leaving him no way out. Isn't that just forcing him into a corner?
But the problem is... what will happen to the Haoran Sect?
Even if he fights desperately, the Imperial Family will ultimately take their anger out on the Haoran Sect. Can the Great Elder withstand that?
Yun Mo was filled with helplessness. When facing the Imperial Family, he felt powerless. If he were all alone, he could try to escape at all costs, but the problem was that the Haoran Sect was still here.
Li Bi seemed to have him figured out as well, and sat there unhurriedly.
"Elder Li, does this mean you absolutely want to destroy my Haoran Sect?"
Suddenly, a clear and refreshing voice rang out, and the oppressive atmosphere in the hall instantly dissipated.
Li Bi's eyes narrowed suddenly. He looked in the direction from which the voice came. There stood a man dressed in white, his hands behind his back. He had an extraordinary air about him and was clearly a hermit.
The moment Li Bi saw the Great Elder, his eyes immediately turned serious.
I originally thought that the Immortal King of the Haoran Sect had only recently broken through, but now it seems that the information was wrong. This person's Cultivation Level is definitely not that of someone who has just broken through to Immortal King.
"You must be the Great Elder of the Haoran Sect, right?"
Li Bi's words were icy.
The Great Elder laughed and said, "It is indeed I, Elder Li Bi. Perhaps we should wait until the person in charge returns before discussing Li Liang's matter?"
"You said you wanted Elder Su Chen's life. If he agrees, my Haoran Sect will naturally cooperate."
Li Bi snorted coldly and said in a chilling tone, "So, if he doesn't agree, then your Haoran Sect won't cooperate? Or do you think that having an Immortal King gives you the right to challenge my Imperial Family?"
Even though the Great Elder was not a newly ascended Immortal King, he was not afraid.
With his strength at the Mid Immortal King, he could hold out for a while even against late-stage Immortal King. As long as the Great Elder dared to make a move, he would immediately send a message to the Imperial Family for support, and then the Haoran Sect would be destroyed in an instant.
The Great Elder said calmly, "Of course not."
After saying this, he did not say anything more.
Li Bi stared intently at the Great Elder's retreating figure, his eyes filled with coldness. After a Past while, he let out a cold laugh and sat back down in his chair.
"Alright, let's call that Su Chen over."
He wanted to see what the Haoran Sect was really up to.
However, the Haoran Sect truly displeased him, so he harbored murderous intent and wanted to destroy Haoran Sect completely. But the Haoran Sect had Immortal King powerhouse, and their strength was not weak, so he alone was definitely not enough.
The only way is to get the Haoran Sect to take action first, or to refuse his previous request.
This way, he could get the Imperial Family to kill him directly.
Yun Mo didn't quite understand the Great Elder's purpose in doing this, but since he had already gone this far, he could only comply.
He used the Sect Leader 'Jade Pendant to Su Chen.
Soon, a figure arrived outside the reception hall.
The person who arrived was Su Chen. He had been paying attention to Chunlan, but the Haoran Sect hadn't really noticed her.
Xiao Tian followed closely behind and came to Su Chen's side, but he did not enter the hall; instead, he waited at the door.
Su Chen stepped closer, glanced around, and then looked coldly at Li Bi.
Looking for me?
Su Chen's completely indifferent attitude made Li Bi extremely unhappy.
As expected, the Haoran Sect deserved to be destroyed.
