Give Me a Way Out

Upon hearing Li Muxiu's words, the others' expressions changed slightly; some looked at Li Tiangang, while others lowered their heads and remained silent.

Li Tiangang remained silent in the face of Li Muxiu's mockery.

Li Muxiu was somewhat surprised by his expression, thinking that his words would enrage the other party.

Do you regret it?

A thought struck him, and suddenly he heard He Jianlan say, "Second Uncle, please take another look at this letter that Xuan Li sent."

Li Muxiu was surprised. He glanced at He Jianlan and noticed her strange expression. He then quickly opened the Military Report.

His pupils quickly contracted, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes.

That brat actually killed Three Immortalities Great Demon?!

Li Muxiu thought he knew Li Hao quite well, but now, the kid's rate of improvement still exceeded his expectations, or rather, it broke the upper limit of geniuses in the Great Yu Dynasty once again.

Defeating Grandmaster in the All Under Heaven is already outrageous enough, but to actually kill Three Immortalities, and they were even minor Lesser Demon King in the Undeclining Realm!

If it weren't for the fact that the Intelligence mentioned numerous testimonies from Grandmaster, Li Muxiu would have suspected that the Intelligence was incorrect.

"Hao'er, Hao'er..."

Li Muxiu's lips trembled slightly. At this moment, he was more excited than anyone else. He could almost see the Li Family about to usher in its most glorious era.

Only.

His eyes quickly dimmed again, and he felt a pang of pain in his heart.

He turned to look Anger at Li Tiangang, but seeing the other man remain silent, he felt both angry and amused, but mostly sorrowful.

Blaming Li Tiangang was pointless; he didn't know if the child would ever turn back.

"The Dragon Sky Sword, that famous Famous Swords was said to be in the Imperial Clan treasury, but now it's in Hao'er's hands. Was it bestowed by Yu Emperor? When did this happen?"

Gao Qingqing held the envelope, muttering to herself.

Upon hearing this, Chen Hefang, who was sitting next to him, was slightly taken aback, and immediately thought of the Eternal Night sword.

If Eternal Night were in that child's hands right now, it would surely become famous All Under Heaven along with him.

But now, Eternal Night sleeps here, just like Xiao Jiu, quietly lying in the darkness, sealed away.

Silence fell over the council hall as everyone remained silent, processing the news.

No one expected that the child who had just stepped out of the Divine General Residence would, in the blink of an eye, shock the entire All Under Heaven with his own abilities.

When Li Tiangang rebuked the young man, it was because of the Divine General Residence's Mansion. Although they didn't say anything, they secretly agreed with him to some extent.

Everyone present was bathed in this Millennial Glory. Even the high-ranking officials and nobles, whose positions were higher than theirs, treated them with utmost respect. Wasn't it all because of the Divine General Residence behind them?

But now, people are no longer focused on the boy's identity, but on his Heavenly Talent Prodigy!

"Heavenly Gang, why aren't you saying anything?"

Li Muxiu looked at the silent Li Tiangang and said, "If you regret it, it's not too late to go to Heaven's Gate Pass and apologize to that child now. Don't wait until three years have passed, or everything will be in vain!"

Hearing his Second Uncle's words, the ladies were all slightly taken aback and couldn't help but look at Li Tiangang.

Li Tiangang slowly regained his senses. He glanced at Li Muxiu and, seeing the Anger hidden in the other's eyes, his lips twitched slightly.

"Second Uncle, you've seen that child's Heavenly Talent, but do you approve of his behavior?"

"Um?"

Li Muxiu frowned slightly. "What do you mean?"

"By publicly suppressing the Buddha Child, causing Boundless Mountain to lose face, and making an enemy of that Buddha Master, and by suppressing Grandmaster in the All Under Heaven, how many connections and how much power do these Grandmaster have behind them? How many people can he possibly anger?"

Li Tiangang spoke slowly.

Li Muxiu retorted angrily, "Are you going to let them bully us? Are you scared?!"

"Afraid?"

Li Tiangang shook his head slightly. "Second Uncle, the reason you lost to my father and failed in the competition for the True Dragon was because Grandpa's choice was correct. Your overall perspective was really lacking."

"Are you lecturing me?!" Li Muxiu's eyes flashed with Chill and anger.

Li Tiangang looked at him quietly and said, "My Li Family, apart from respecting the Imperial Clan, naturally has nothing to fear from anyone. As for Boundless Mountain's secret interference in our family's affairs, I haven't settled that score yet!"

"What do the All Under Heaven's Grandmaster and their vast networks amount to under the iron hooves of my Fa Character Battalion and Yuan Character Camp?"

"Who dares to utter a single word outside my Divine General Residence?"

Li Muxiu said coldly, "Then what did you mean by what you just said?"

Li Tiangang said, "I've said it before, Hao'er has enough Heavenly Talent. I've never thought he lacked ability, but his actions and behavior are Taiji and crazy!"

"He's still young, and I can understand many things, but understanding doesn't mean allowing or condoning it. Otherwise, wouldn't I be just like you guys?"

"If he can't even listen to the slightest criticism, what kind of future can he possibly have?"

"Let's talk about this matter."

He picked up the envelope and threw it in front of Li Muxiu, saying, "That Buddha Child from Boundless Mountain provoked him. He can defeat him. This way, he can make a name for himself. Even if the other party is angry, at least he won't retaliate immediately. Or rather, if the other party retaliates, when the matter comes to light, others will only think that Boundless Mountain is narrow-minded."

"But if they retaliate after such an insult and the matter comes to light, others will find it understandable!"

"The same goes for the Grandmaster of the All Under Heaven. On the surface, they are nothing in front of the Li Family, but it's hard to guard against petty people. Do we have to spend every day dealing with the underhanded tricks these people are up to?"

He always had a better way, but he always chose the worst one!

Li Tiangang stared at Li Muxiu and said, "This is the bad habit he developed from being spoiled by you all. His behavior certainly made him feel good and satisfied, but what about the consequences?"

Children can be willful, but adults must learn to control themselves!

"Release your anger without hesitation. If he now bears the identity of the Li Family True Dragon, this action represents the will of the Li Family!"

"The Li Family is deliberately using this opportunity to suppress all the Grandmaster in the All Under Heaven, making Grandmaster unable to hold their heads high!"

Public opinion is like water; it can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it!

"The world reveres our Divine General Residence, not only for our role in guarding against Great Yu, not only for our bloodshed on the battlefield, but also for our unwavering loyalty to the people and our refusal to bend the law for personal gain."

"To put it bluntly, force can only suppress riots; it is the heart that can win over people's hearts!"

"He'll be leading troops into battle someday. Second Uncle has heard stories of generals beating and scolding their subordinates, and even having their heads cut off by their men when they're drunk, right?"

Li Muxiu was stunned. He took a deep breath and said, "Well said. You certainly have enough magnanimity for your soldiers and subordinates. Your heart can hold the people of the entire Qing Prefecture. Why can't you accommodate one more child, especially since he is your own son!"

"Just because he's my son, he's different," Li Tiangang said, enunciating each word clearly.

Li Muxiu laughed and said, "He saved the people of Great Yue City and previously saved Cangyu City, for which he was granted a title. Did you have such merits when you were fourteen? How do you know that he is not popular and is not loved by the world?"

"The common people are water, Grandmaster is the hand. Water can be guided and manipulated by the hand. Sometimes, how the water flows depends on how the hand moves," Li Tiangang said coldly.

Li Muxiu stared at him. "So, what do you mean? You really want to Past three years?"

Li Tiangang glanced at him, then turned his gaze to the letter in front of him. After a moment of silence, he slowly said:

"With the help of your friend, plus his own strength, it's indeed not difficult for him to hold down Heaven's Gate Pass."

"But now that he has killed the Ten Thousand Mountains Little Demon King, the Ten Thousand Mountains Demon King will not let him off easily. Even with your old friend's protection, it will be difficult. If the other party also gets other Demon King to join forces to avenge the killing of his son, he will be in great danger."

Li Muxiu raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "I thought you hadn't thought of that."

Li Tiangang ignored his sarcasm and said only, "I will write a letter. He is young and impetuous, so I will give him a way out."

Li Muxiu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since you're so willing, I suggest you Past yourself."

"I'm busy."

Li Tiangang shook his head slightly and tapped his fingers on the table:

"Second Uncle, don't forget what we were just discussing. Liang Prefecture is such a vast territory, and the fact that this Demon Calamity has appeared in Great Yue City shows that these Demon can no longer restrain themselves. I still need to go to Great Yu Province to see His Majesty about this matter."

Li Muxiu frowned, glanced at him, and then thought of the other person's personality. If he really Past, it might backfire.

He immediately stopped insisting.

Regardless, the fact that the other party is willing to back down is a good thing.

He sighed inwardly, then thought of Feng Boping.

He could almost picture his old friend's expression and smiling face in his mind.

I was instantly filled with a burning rage.

That guy must have known about Li Hao's situation for a long time, but he didn't write to tell me. He was probably just waiting to see how scared I was now.

"Old man, just wait till we meet again, I'll teach you a lesson," Li Muxiu Dark Dao to himself.

Boundless Mountain, the Brahma Pure Land.

Deep within the mountain peaks, in the highest Spirit Mountain and pure land.

The golden Buddha Light shines everywhere. There are steps leading from the secular world, but they only go up to the foot of the mountain, allowing the poor and the rich to come and burn incense to pray to Buddha.

At the summit, in a pure land bathed in Flash of Insight, covered by a Magic Array Barrier.

The Boundless Buddha sat serenely on Lotus Pedestal, his expression gentle and compassionate. To his left and right were two Bodhisattva, one being Lin Wujing, and the other a Bodhisattva with a peaceful demeanor, though her brows were slightly furrowed at this moment.

Several figures knelt on the Flash of Insight in front of them, two of whom were Buddha Child.

"I am already aware of what happened in Liang Prefecture."

The Boundless Buddha gentle, yet his voice was as resonant as a great bell, without being harsh or jarring; it was as warm and soothing as water.

"That young man's Heavenly Talent is unparalleled throughout Great Yu; he is undoubtedly the greatest talent of all time. You have no need to be upset or saddened by your defeat at his hands; everything is predestined."

The two Buddha Child are Qin Wuque and Li Qianfeng.

Hearing the words of their Master Buddha Master, they were all shaken, feeling ashamed but also relieved and bitter.

They were all Heavenly Prodigy, yet they suffered a crushing defeat. Judging from their Master's words, it seemed that they were simply no match for their opponent.

"Qiankun Vajra."

The Boundless Buddha said softly, "You have three more years. Stay on the mountain and cultivate diligently. If you can reach the Heaven and Man Realm, you will have the opportunity to compete with him for the True Dragon Position. If you do not reach the Heaven and Man Realm, then you can live peacefully under my tutelage as an Arhat or Bodhisattva. You do not need to be tainted by the karma of the mortal world. Your Divine General Residence protects the people, and my Buddhist Sect saves all living beings."

Li Qianfeng was startled, lowered his head, and kowtowed deeply.

"Yes, Master."

Beside him, Qin Wuque's bitter and gloomy eyes brightened slightly as he looked at the Buddha Master with a puzzled expression:

"Master, your disciple is incompetent. That young man's Grandmaster Martial Realm is extremely terrifying. Even if Heaven and Earth were to reach the Heaven and Man Realm, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to defeat him."

His question wasn't a challenge, but rather an attempt to get an answer. He knew that his Master must have had a reason for saying that to Li Qianfeng.

There are no fixed rules governing strength and weakness in this world. Flowers bloom in March and wither in September. If you can bloom in September, what does it matter if they are not so vibrant?

"Though Dragon Elephant are strong, they cannot cross rivers; though birds are weak, they cannot be stopped by mountains and rivers."

The Boundless Buddha said softly, "There are laws in this world. Heaven is jealous of talent, and excessive rigidity leads to breakage. That child has good aptitude, but he has already embarked on a dead end, and his path is destined to be difficult."

The two were puzzled, not understanding what he meant. Did he mean that Li Hao was too arrogant and would invite a death sentence?

The Boundless Buddha said softly, "You may leave now. Contemplate carefully, overcome your inner Heart Demon, and you may continue your progress."

"One should know that all consciousness is like an illusion, and all worldly actions are like Ru Meng; only then can one achieve transcendence!"
