Li Tiangang's Challenge (7K Guaranteed Double Chapter)
Li Hao immediately suppressed his internal energy, moved his hands and feet slightly, and with his understanding of the Sixth Dan of the Path of the Physical Body and the keen insight of the Grandmaster Realm, he easily measured his current physical strength.
Approximately 400,000 jin (200 tons).
Initially, it was 100,000 jin (50,000 kg). Later, with the improvement of the Path of the Physical Body and the completion of the Primordial Beginning Art to the Fourth Chapter "Primordial Beginning", along with the deduction and improvement of many other Cultivation Method, it increased to more than 300,000 jin (150,000 kg).
Now, this Perfection Demon Cultivation Method has directly increased his strength by 100,000 jin.
Don't underestimate the small increase in strength. Compared to the tens of millions of catties of True Qi, it may seem insignificant. However, apart from Demon, even Human Race experts at the Four Establishments Realm of the Qi realm may not possess a pure physical strength of 100,000 catties!
The stronger one's physical strength, the stronger the impact of energy one can withstand.
While others might be half-dead from a reversal of their Qi and Blood, Li Hao would at most cough up some blood and recover.
With the completion of the Five Viscera Primal Chaos Art, in addition to the increase in physical strength, Li Hao felt that his Organs and other Organs were like metal, providing him with strong support whether he was walking, sitting, or standing.
Without pausing, Li Hao continued practicing another technique, the "Bright Jade True Devil Art".
This Cultivation Method primarily trains the external body. As one cultivates, the energy of Heaven and Earth and earth gathers again and rapidly flows into the body.
These energies, like dark demons, obscured the once bright Star and Moon in the night sky.
This Cultivation Method mainly relies on condensing Sha Qi, and this place happens to be a battlefield, the place where Sha Qi is most concentrated.
Countless black Sha Qi surrounded Li Hao, shrouded in Sha Qi, resembled a true demon, with crimson light seemingly bursting forth from his eyes as they opened and closed.
"That Cultivation Method... you've mastered it just like that?"
In the shadows, Li He stared blankly at the scene. Li Hao had switched to another Cultivation Method, and his cultivation momentum was even more terrifying than before.
The Cultivation Method he just practiced, after several repetitions by Li Hao, went from unfamiliar to proficient, and then to Perfection, in just seven or eight repetitions.
This... is this young master's secret?
Repeat until Perfection?
Not only Li He, but Li Hongzhuang was in the distance, was also frightened. She had seen Prodigy before, but she had never seen one as Prodigy as this.
Even when Ninth Brother was a child, it would take him several days to practice his skills.
Back then, while others might not have fully grasped Cultivation Method in a single night, Ninth Brother would have already mastered it by the next day, making his brothers Sisters extremely envious and admiring.
But the Li Hao before me wasn't just a beginner in one night; he had clearly achieved Perfection in one night!
Not even for one night!
As the Sha Qi gathered and continuously flowed into his body, it was condensed and hammered throughout his body. Li Hao's physique was rapidly improving, and his skin became as white as jade, like porcelain Liuli, containing a fluid-like power.
While absorbing the Sha Qi, Li Hao practiced again.
First time, second time...
As he unleashed his power, the Sha Qi was absorbed like a storm.
In the blink of an eye, the eighth repetition was over.
Bright Jade True Devil Art, Perfection Realm.
The surrounding Sha Qi subsided, and the Star and Moon shone upon the boy's body.
Li Hao let out a soft breath and looked down at himself. His fingernails were white, but when he exerted a little force, a faint Black Killing Intent seemed to emerge between them.
This was originally a Devil Cultivation Method, more suitable for babies with Demon constitutions.
However, he modified it through the Path of the Physical Body Refining Cultivation Method suitable for Human Race to cultivate as well.
However, the trace of demonic energy and evil nature within the Cultivation Method cannot be erased; it is its core.
Li Hao closed his eyes slightly, then opened them again. A faint black aura swept across his eyes, and his vision seemed to have changed, becoming sharper and brighter.
He saw a faint, blurry outline in the shadows on his left; it was Li He hiding there.
He ignored it. At this point, he no longer needed to deliberately hide or pretend anything, since this was no longer the Li Manor.
After finishing his practice, Li Hao weighed his physical strength.
His pure physical strength increased to approximately 550,000 jin.
The enhancement brought by this Devil Cultivation Method is more obvious than that of the Five Viscera Primal Chaos Art.
However, this still hasn't reached the physical limits of the Power Through Realm.
Could it be a million jin of strength...? Li Hao's eyes flashed. Even with Divine Blood, a normal cultivator at the Power Through Realm only manages tens of thousands of jin. This is hundreds of times more...
I wonder how exaggerated the limits of other realms will be.
No wonder even in the Listening Rain Pavilion, there are no records of the limits of each realm. If he didn't have the Panel, ordinary people would not even be able to dream of such limits.
Gazing at the Star and Moon, Li Hao pondered for a moment, then refrained from further movement and drifted into a light sleep.
Li Hongzhuang glanced at the young man, suppressing the urge to Past and ask him questions. Tonight, Li Hao had killed Chi Tiger Lord, and there would likely be a fierce battle tomorrow. She needed to get herself in good shape as soon as possible.
Without the obstruction of city walls, when the dawn shone through the pass, it was like a warm hand gently caressing their faces.
Li Hao awoke from a light sleep. He possessed the Trait Chess Manual that allowed him to Keep a Low Profile; a light sleep of one or two hours was enough to relieve his fatigue.
However, besides relieving fatigue, sleeping is also very comfortable.
Unfortunately, the conditions Outside the Pass didn't allow him to sleep in late.
Li Hao searched the camp and found some more paper, which he immediately began writing again.
Li Hongzhuang also Awakening. The early winter morning was slightly frosty, and her breath was faintly white as she spoke.
"Writing Cultivation Method again?"
"Um."
"There may be a fierce battle today."
Let's wait until they arrive.
Li Hao looked casual, as if he didn't care much.
Li Hongzhuang glanced at the Cultivation Method written by Li Hao and said, "Even if you finish writing it, no one can deliver it back for you."
"Perhaps we can ask this old gentleman for help."
Li Hao looked at Li He was hiding in the shadows.
Li He hadn't expected Li Hao to be able to detect his location. His expression changed slightly. Now that things had come to this, there was no need for him to continue hiding in the shadows. He walked up to the two of them openly and said:
"I am here to protect you on your father's orders. I will not leave without your father's written permission."
"Sir, you'd better change your speaking habits; stop referring to him as 'your father' all the time."
Li Hao frowned and stared at the other person.
Li He was slightly taken aback, feeling a Chill creep over him.
He felt a little uncomfortable. Although he had been temporarily transferred here and had heard about the father-son battle in Qingzhou City, in his opinion, even if it was a battle, so what? These two were still father and son, how could they really be cut off?
"Young Master, you have been rather impolite," Li He said solemnly, his face full of reverence.
"Are you referring to me, or someone else?"
Li Hao narrowed his eyes, a black Aura swirling within them, flashing with a dangerous light.
Li He sensed it, but his upright character made him say frankly, "Of course it's your father. I don't mind how you treat me..."
Before he could finish speaking, the boy on the ground suddenly sprang to his feet.
With a whooshing sound, a punch was thrown out.
Li He was slightly taken aback, his gaze immediately hardening, and he quickly blocked with a palm strike.
With a loud bang, two enormous forces shook the area, and Li He's body was sent flying backward, retreating dozens of meters before coming to a stop, his aged face filled with horror.
Previously, when he watched Li Hao kill two Three Immortalities Great Demon, he had been an observer and his feelings were not as intense as they are now.
Li Hao's punches were so powerful that he found it difficult to withstand them.
"I'm letting this go because you're an elder, but if you don't learn to speak properly, I really will shut you up!"
Li Hao stood still, gave him a cold look, and did not pursue him further.
Li He's face was grim, and he hesitated to speak, but seeing the genuine Chill in the boy's eyes, he held back.
If Li Hao were to go all out as he did yesterday, he might not be able to stop him. After all, he couldn't really fight with his full strength; his duty was to protect him.
"Hao'er!"
Seeing Li Hongzhuang Li Hao had actually made a move, Li Hongzhuang frowned and cried out.
Li Hao glanced at her and said in the same way, "Senior Hongzhuang, I hope that besides the hard work of slaying demons, I can be in a better mood. I hope you will take care of yourself as well."
Hearing Li Hao's unfamiliar words, her expression changed slightly, and she stared at Li Hao.
She didn't know what had happened between the father and son, or why the child showed such strong aversion to her when Seventh Brother was mentioned.
She sighed inwardly and said nothing more.
Li Hao returned to his original spot and sat down, continuing to write the manual as if nothing had happened.
Li He's hands were behind his back, but the palm that had caught Li Hao's punch was trembling slightly.
Fortunately, the Three Immortalities possessed extremely strong regenerative abilities, capable of regenerating severed limbs, and the Meridians in his arm quickly became unblocked again.
Li He looked deeply at the young man, feeling sorry for him. He wondered if the general had received the letter sent to Qingzhou City.
Qingzhou City, the Divine General Residence.
A bluebird flew in from outside the window and landed on the desk beside the inkstone.
Its palm-sized body suddenly swelled to the size of its head, and a scroll of letter was squeezed out from its slightly protruding beak.
At the desk, a middle-aged man in brown clothes quickly picked up the letter, unfolded it, and began to read it carefully.
After reading it, the urgency on his face immediately turned grim, and he crushed the letter into pieces.
"My lord, is this a letter from the young master?"
Outside the room, Yu Xuan saw Qing Que and walked in, his eyes revealing a hint of concern.
He is, after all, the heir of the main family. If his Heavenly Talent grows, it will be enough to suppress Demon in the world.
"Snort!"
Hearing Yu Xuan's concerned voice, Li Tiangang snorted coldly, his eyes filled with anger:
"It's Li He's reply. No wonder he's so stubborn; turns out he has someone backing him up. Second Uncle Fifth Uncle, they've really done a lot of harm! Are they determined to ruin Hao'er before they'll stop!"
Yu Xuan was slightly taken aback and couldn't help but ask, "My lord, what makes you say that?"
Li Tiangang was in no mood to say anything more.
The matter in the letter reignited his anger, which had subsided over the past few days.
He sent Li He to secretly protect Li Hao along the way, but Li He discovered that another powerful figure was secretly following Li Hao, and speculated that it might be a top expert of the Four Establishments Realm.
That's Four Establishments Realm! Such a figure is rare even in the entire Great Yu. Why would he condescend to protect a child?
Without a doubt, it could only be my Second Uncle and Fifth Uncle who used their connections to ask their old friends to intervene.
This is tantamount to wasting a precious favor, and it's also a huge waste to have Four Establishments Realm accompany a child.
With this much free time, you could slay quite a few Demon!
Most importantly, this goes against his wishes.
He sent Li Hao to Heaven's Gate Pass and the Frontier to shatter his stubbornness, to let him experience the terror of life and death, and to let him know that the outside world is not as comfortable and warm as the Divine General Residence's Mansion.
Now, with the Four Establishments Realm expert secretly protecting them, what's the point of even seeing anything?
Does that mean I really have to wait three years for that kid to come back and cut ties with me?!
With that brat's stubborn nature, he'll probably still hold a grudge three years from now.
Li Tiangang grew angrier the more he thought about it, hoping that the expert at the Four Establishments Realm wouldn't have the patience to spend three years with Li Hao.
After all, this child's temperament is not likable, and the other party may not be able to tolerate it.
However, if my second and Fifth Uncle Second Uncle dote on me Xu Nuo huge promises, it's not impossible that I might actually stay for three years.
With that thought in mind, he immediately set off to find them and demand an explanation.
As soon as I stepped out of the room, snowflakes began to fall from the sky.
The first snow of early winter Descent.
Li Tiangang clearly didn't care about the snowflakes; he didn't even open his umbrella and flew straight into the Listening to the Listening Rain Pavilion.
Listening Rain Pavilion, the guards at the entrance bowed respectfully upon seeing Li Tiangang.
Li Tiangang went straight to the Seventh Floor, glanced around, but did not see his Second Uncle's figure, which made him even angrier.
He turned and went back downstairs, asking, "Where's the old man?"
"It seems the old Hou-rank Noble went Angling."
Where to Angling?
"I am unaware."
Li Tiangang was furious. He had heard since childhood that his Second Uncle was carefree and did not get along with his father's brothers, and it was indeed true.
The other party's duty was to guard Listening Rain Pavilion, but not only was there no sign of him, but they couldn't even find him when they tried to look for him.
Seeing his angry expression, the guard was terrified. As if remembering something, he quickly said, "My lord, I seem to know a place that the old Marquis might go to."
Where?
"That's the Blackwater Demon Lake that the young master mentioned, located two thousand miles east of the city," the guard said respectfully.
Li Tiangang was about to leave when he suddenly frowned and said, "Why did that child bring this up with you?"
"Young Master was just saying that casually. He often delivers pastries and snacks to the old Marquis, but the journey is long, and Young Master is worried that the food boxes won't keep warm..."
Li Tiangang's face immediately darkened. "He doesn't cultivate properly all day, instead using flattery and deceit to please others. No wonder Second Uncle protects him so much!"
With a flick of his sleeve, he leaped away and flew out of Qingzhou City in the blink of an eye.
Not long after.
Li Tiangang arrived at the Blackwater Demon Lake. The vast lake stretched as far as the eye could see, its black waters surging.
His gaze swept around, and after a moment, he spotted a figure on one of the lakeshores.
Li Tiangang flew straight Past and landed.
The figure by the lake heard the noise and instinctively turned around. "Hao..."
The smile on his face had barely appeared when he saw Li Tiangang's cold and stern expression, and he immediately snapped back to reality, his eyes dimming.
"Second Uncle."
Despite his anger, Li Tiangang bowed respectfully upon landing before approaching the Lake and asking, "Are you Angling here?"
Angling... Li Muxiu's expression returned to its indifferent state, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He was just here to sit quietly.
How did you find out about this place? What do you want with me?
Li Muxiu said calmly.
Seeing this, Li Tiangang didn't bother with pleasantries and said directly, "Second Uncle, I know you care about that child, but don't you think what you're doing is harming him?"
Li Muxiu turned to look at him and said, "How have I harmed your son?"
"You're asking your friend to look after Hao'er and protect him secretly? Doesn't that mean I should really sever ties with him?" Li Tiangang said angrily.
Li Muxiu was slightly taken aback, but immediately understood.
When Li Hao left that day, he had already sensed that Feng Boping was lurking in the shadows. The other party had also briefly told him via telepathy that he would escort Li Hao away.
He expressed his gratitude, but his feelings were extremely complicated.
Without Feng Boping's support, that child might not have stepped across that Dao Gate.
However, Feng Boping was willing to stand up for Hao'er, perhaps because he couldn't bear to see Hao'er being wronged in front of his father.
Even outsiders can't stand it; how utterly disastrous is this?
Thinking of all this, Li Muxiu looked at the anger in Li Tiangang's eyes and couldn't help but sneer, saying:
"Now you're scared, scared of losing Hao'er?"
"When you came back, I heard you even slapped Hao'er. Weren't you scared then?"
"Moreover, I've inquired about the details these past few days. The reason Hao'er slapped that little girl was because she was spoiled and arrogant, and verbally abused Qingqing, wasn't it?"
"Is it wrong for Hao'er to defend his mother?!"
At this point, his previously calm emotions surged again, and Anger flashed in his eyes.
Li Tiangang's expression changed slightly, and he remained silent.
He later investigated this matter, and Li Mingguang, Li Wushuang, and others were present and confirmed it.
It was indeed Li Rumeng, the eighth brother's daughter, who first mentioned Qingqing and spoke rudely.
In response, the eighth brother slapped his daughter and had a big argument with his wife that same day. These past few days, there has been no peace in his courtyard.
He could no longer blame or reprimand anyone, and felt a pang of regret for that slap.
"Second Uncle, I know I'm not a good father, but my only goal was to raise him well. I already regret not having kept him by my side to discipline and care for him all these years."
Li Tiangang said, "But you've seen that child's temper; it's as hard as a rock. If you let your old friend continue to protect him, he'll never experience the cruelty and hardships of the outside world."
Li Muxiu looked at him coldly and said:
"He's your son, not your enemy. Why do you insist on making him experience the hardships of this world?"
Li Tiangang was taken aback.
"I have no children. If I did, I would want to hold them in my arms and pamper them every day!"
Li Muxiu said coldly, "Having children isn't about subjecting them to the harsh realities of the world, but about letting them feel the love of their parents. I couldn't do that back then, so I didn't marry or have children, because I wasn't confident I could be a good father. But now it seems you're even less deserving!"
Li Tiangang paused for a moment, then said, "Second Uncle, you've never been a father, so you don't know my good intentions. I also want to be good to him and make up for all the years he's been alone, but there have to be limits!"
"Those men on the battlefield, longed for by so many mothers and wives, are forever buried on the battlefield. For him to see me come back alive is already a great blessing!"
"But I will die someday. If he doesn't grow up, how will he carry the Li Family forward? Are we to entrust the ancestral legacy to him? Can he bear it?!"
Li Muxiu sneered, "How do you know it won't work if you don't try? Hao'er isn't as bad as you think. You don't understand him at all, and you've never really cared about him!"
He raised his hand, caught the snowflakes in front of him, and handed them to Li Tiangang:
"Look."
Li Tiangang wanted to argue, but then he paused, and said, "What?"
It's snowing.
Li Muxiu said.
"I know," Li Tiangang said.
"This is the second snowfall since the day the child left."
Li Muxiu looked at Li Tiangang and said, "When the first snow fell, you forced him out of the Li Family. Now, with the second snow, you come to question me about why I let my old friend protect him. Ha, anyone who didn't know better would think you and him weren't father and son, but enemies with a deep-seated hatred!"
He looked directly into Li Tiangang's eyes and said softly, "When you saw this Falling Snow, did you first think about whether that child was cold, whether he had enough to eat and wear on the other side of the Frontier?"
Li Tiangang's expression changed slightly, he clenched his fist slightly, and said in a low voice:
"With your old friend protecting him, he must have had a very comfortable journey. Demon King at the Four Establishments Realm of the Realm dared not invade his territory, and even Great Demon at the Third Stage of the Three Immortalities Realm were safe with Li He around. Hongzhuang, who was also causing him trouble, stayed there to take care of him as well."
"This child is showered with love and affection; what does a mere Falling Snow matter to him?"
Li Muxiu stared at him and said, "Let's not talk about my old friend. As for Li He, whom you arranged, he shouldn't intervene unless that child is facing a life-or-death situation, right?"
"Nature."
Li Tiangang said, "Otherwise, how can we make him back down?"
Li Muxiu a deep breath, stopped talking to him, and said, "Go back now, and don't bother me unless it's absolutely necessary."
Li Tiangang immediately replied, "If you bring your old friend back and stop spoiling him, I won't come looking for you."
Li Muxiu sneered, "Do you really think my old friend is only taking care of Hao'er because of me?"
Li Tiangang raised an eyebrow and said, "Could it be that you're suggesting, Second Uncle, that Hao'er has befriended your old friend? That's a powerful expert at the Four Establishments Realm of the Qi Refining Realm; who would care about him?"
Li Muxiu was furious, but he held back his words.
It's inconvenient to reveal Feng Boping's identity, otherwise who knows what kind of commotion it would cause.
"You can leave now!"
Li Muxiu coldly replied, "You can rest assured. My old friend is sensible and won't usually make a move unless Demon King at the Four Establishments Realm crosses the line."
"Even Demon King at the Four Establishments Realm wouldn't dare to invade," Li Tiangang said.
"What if?" Li Muxiu stared at him.
Li Tiangang's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly fell silent.
"The results of Liu Yuerong's interrogation should be out soon, right? You'd be better off using this energy to seek justice for your son. As for the matter of the Divine Blood, do you really think Hao'er is just making things up and slandering us?" Li Muxiu said coldly.
Thinking of this, a glint flashed in Li Tiangang's eyes. He didn't say anything, but simply bowed and then turned and flew away.
Li Muxiu watched the other person's figure disappear, the coldness on his face dissipated, and he sighed.
His gaze fell on the Demon Lake before him, and then slowly shifted to a depression beside him.
Not far from where Li Tiangang was standing was the fishing platform where his son Angling.
"Second Master, I've taken the bait again!"
"Haha, Second Master, look! This time it looks like a big one!"
"Second Master, it's ready! Come and eat!"
Li Muxiu's eyes reddened slightly. He knew in his heart that, given that child's personality, he probably would never come back.
Great Yu Province, the Imperial Capital and Holy City.
In the magnificent Imperial Palace.
The civil and military officials stood on either side of the Dragonhide Carpet, having previously reported on the affairs of their respective states, and were now engaged in a heated debate.
"Your Majesty, it has been six days. You should make a decision now!"
"King Xingwu had just returned from his campaign in Northern Yan, and was granted the title of Third-rank Duke for his meritorious service. His son, relying on his favored status and extraordinary talent, challenged Heavenly Talent King Xingwu to a great battle. Father and son killed each other, which is simply a violation of moral principles and ethics!"
"If this is not severely punished, it will be a disgrace to social order. If the All Under Heaven were to follow suit, where would the filial piety between ruler and subject be!"
"Your Majesty, I believe there are underlying reasons for this matter, and we need to investigate it thoroughly before making any hasty judgments."
"I've heard that child is exceptionally talented, reaching the Heavenly Talent Heaven and Man Realm at the age of fourteen. He's even more formidable than the Li Family Ninth Son back then, so it's understandable that he's somewhat arrogant and conceited. However, he's already been disciplined by King Xingwu and exiled to Heaven's Gate Pass. This punishment is severe enough!"
"It's just for show. I don't believe he won't send people to guard it secretly. Hmph, if Heaven's Gate Pass falls, I'll see if his son can bear the consequences!"
"To entrust such a strategic location to a child is simply reckless! What if it falls? Behind Heaven's Gate Pass lie the lives of hundreds of millions of people in Great Liang Province!"
"Those who are impolite should be killed!"
The crowd debated fiercely, with two main viewpoints: one was that the punishment should be severe, while the other felt that the circumstances were excusable and that further investigation was needed, or that the matter should be left to the Li Family to handle, as it was not a matter of state but a private family affair.
However, regardless of the viewpoint, there are always gaps that can be refuted, so the debate has gone on for several days without a result.
On the Dragon Throne, the imposing Yu Emperor looked straight ahead, his eyes seemingly containing the Sun, Moon, and Stars, making it impossible for anyone to look directly at him.
Hearing their chaotic argument, a slight smile played on his lips as he thought of the scene before the Willow Tree Lake...
"That brat has quite the temper..." Yu Emperor Dark Dao to himself.
His gaze swept across the area, landing on a quiet group of civil officials on the other side. Intrigued, he said:
"My esteemed ministers of the Hanlin Academy, what are your thoughts?"
Upon hearing His Majesty speak, the others ceased their arguments and looked at the group of Confucian scholars with expressions of curiosity and puzzlement.
In the past, these frail scholars were always the first to jump out when it came to such things that violated etiquette; their sharp tongues were so incisive that even the scholars had to give them a wide berth.
They were, after all, just Warrior; when it came to verbal sparring, they were no match for these guys who wielded pens.
But this time, these guys didn't make a sound, acting like bystanders, as if they hadn't heard a thing.
Are they wary of the Divine General Residence? Wary of the Li Family?
That's what you call seeing ghosts.
These guys dare to criticize even princes, so what's the Li Family? Which of the Five Divine General Residences hasn't been reprimanded by them?
If it weren't for his countless merits, he would have been completely wiped out long ago.
"Breaking through red tape is tantamount to killing the people of the All Under Heaven," is a common tactic used by these scholars. They insist on equating the two things, which gives those of them, who dislike being bound by trivialities, a real headache.
Moreover, the emperor attached great importance to the Hanlin Academy, and the civil officials held a position in the court that was no less than that of military generals. In fact, because of their perceived weakness, they were often favored by the emperor.
It's true that military generals are responsible for slaying demons and monsters, but governing the country and ensuring its stability is the job of civil officials.
This world isn't just about Demon; what can bring down a great nation is also the human heart.
But civil officials excel at governing people's hearts!
"Your Majesty, we believe that while Li Hao is indeed young and impetuous, he is by no means a dissolute or arrogant person. He harbors lofty ambitions and a heart that loves his country and cares for its people. This conflict must have a reason, and we hope that Your Majesty can investigate it thoroughly and give this young man justice!"
After a while, the Grand Preceptor of the Hanlin Academy stepped forward as a representative and respectfully said.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the court was stunned.
Is this still the Hanlin Academy they know?
Is he still the same stubborn Grand Preceptor they know?
They've been bewitched!
"Grand Preceptor Excellency, do you know what you're saying?"
Before His Majesty could speak, a military commander from Liang Prefecture who had previously suggested severely punishing Li Hao Commander forward and loudly proclaimed:
"Father and son killing each other, no matter the reason, shouldn't one draw a sword against the father? This is his own father!"
"Yes, if we can tolerate even this, what won't we be able to do in the future?" another person quickly echoed.
A faint smile appeared on Yu Emperor's lips, but it quickly vanished. No one noticed, for no one dared to look directly at His Majesty. His expression remained calm as he said:
"My dear minister, how can this praise be justified?"
"Your Majesty, we certainly have evidence."
The Grand Preceptor glanced Liang Province Commander, his eyes filled with disdain. Although he was a civil official, with Yu Emperor backing him up, these military generals didn't dare to touch him even a hair's breadth.
Moreover, he knew why the other party had made such a strong suggestion: it was because King Xingwu had sent Li Hao to Heaven's Gate Pass, fearing that Heaven's Gate Pass would fall and Demon would invade, at which point he would have to be the first to slay the demons.
"Oh? What evidence?" Yu Emperor asked with great interest.
