"City Lord, I also believe that having Li Daozun alone control the twelve remnant scrolls of the Sword Spirit goes against the interests of all the major factions. As for this Heavenly Sword, everyone has surely seen the horrific footage brought back from the battle at Heavenly Sword Mountain. Such a terrifying thing—if one faction were allowed to control it, it would bring disaster rather than fortune to the Nine Heavens." Shengtu Hao rose to his feet as well. His relationship with the Gu Long family could still be kept under control. After all, the two of them had dealt with each other since childhood and knew how to avoid each other's sore spots. That was how the balance between their factions was maintained.
Li Poxiao gave a cold laugh before replying, "Have the Shengtu family stop invading the Northern Territory first, then come talk to me about this."
"You! Li Daozun, don't think that just because you've reached the Primal Chaos Realm, you can act recklessly! In the Hanging Sky Hall, no one is allowed to use personal strength to intimidate others!

If you want to take the twelve remnant scrolls of the Sword Spirit, then draw your swords and come take them!"
