Together in Life and Death

You dare!

Upon hearing the words of the Wind Spirit Race Chief, the old man beside Meng Wanning narrowed his eyes, took a step forward, and unleashed his full aura, like a surging tide, pressing Past on Jin Fengling.

However, the many powerful members of the Wind Spirit Race behind Jin Fengling were prepared and instantly unleashed their power to create a barrier for Jin Fengling.

"You just go, leave the rest of the people and everything else to me!"

The Wind Spirit Race Chief saw Jin Fengling Pause and said in a cold voice.

The Crescent Divine Sword in his hand suddenly burst forth with a dazzling silver-white light. The Heaven and Earth around the Emperor Platform suddenly seemed to transform into a World Domain, with long moons hanging in the sky. The Moonlight, like cold, crisscrossing eyes, looked down upon the people of the Great Dream Clan.

Sensing the chilling Sword Qi, the members of the Great Dream Clan were filled with shock and anger. The Old Woman holding the withered staff had a deep look in her eyes. Since the entire clan had come here, she had no intention of retreating easily.

Just as her Immortal Power gathered, Seven-Colored Iridescence light emanated from the divine stone in her palm, a clear, calm voice suddenly spoke:

"Sect Master, Great Dream Clan, everyone."

Everyone couldn't help but turn around and look at the young man by the Emperor Platform.

"Let them come here. If they want my life, let's see if they have the guts to take it!"

Li Hao's gaze swept over the Dream Master and the others, and he slowly said, "I appreciate this kindness!"

Upon hearing this, the Dream Master immediately became anxious. What she was doing was not merely to gain Li Hao's gratitude, but to rescue Li Hao. She said, "Don't be impulsive."

I don't want to implicate innocent people.

Li Hao interrupted her, shaking his head, "If there is a future, I am willing to fight alongside you all, but today's matter is mine to bear alone!"

"Kid, don't overthink it. Now that we're here, we can't just stand by and do nothing."

The old man beside Meng Wanning spoke softly and gently.

His eyebrows were sharp as swords, and he usually spoke in a gruff voice, rarely speaking softly.

Li Hao looked at the old man he was meeting for the first time and saw the sincerity in his eyes. His fingers clenched involuntarily. He knew that the old man was sincere, but precisely because of this, he could not involve his clan.

Even if the two sides fight to the death, it may not necessarily help him carve out a bloody path.

After all, there were two other people eyeing the scene with predatory intent.

Moreover, that Supreme has not yet revealed any intention, and no one knows whether there will be others like that white-haired youth who try to fathom the Emperor Heart's Emperor Intent and conform to his wishes.

Without uttering a single word, without speaking a single utterance, people will respond on their own; this is the way of the Emperor.

When they made their move, the Supreme did not stop them. This did not violate his promise, but not stopping them was tantamount to tacit approval!

Li Hao knew that relying on the intimidation of the Great Dream Clan to quell the desires of others was almost impossible. Perhaps only his death in battle today could end this.

But even if he dies in battle, he will drag down all those who try to set foot there with him!

"Seniors, Haotian virtue or ability do I possess to earn your favor and affection? Today, all those who have grudges against me, if they step forward, I will fight them to the death!"

Li Hao took a deep look at the members of the Great Dream Clan, then bowed deeply. When he looked up again, he surveyed the entire hall, his clear and Chill voice echoing throughout the room.

Hearing that the young man stood in the center of the storm's vortex, yet possessed an eagle-like gaze and a wolf-like disdain for all around, countless people were shocked!

The Great Dream Clan Wind Spirit Race, two of the top Top 100 Great Clans, almost fought to the death for each other. The other side refused to submit to the Supreme and offended the Heavenly Palace. Even in this desperate situation, they still refused to bow their heads!

Behind Li Hao, Mingyue's expression changed slightly. She frowned and stared at the figure's back. His tall and straight figure was like a divine Divine Sword soaring into the sky. The young man's spine only bowed deeply when faced with those many tender and complicated gazes. When faced with the pressure and swords of Jin Fengling Wind Spirit Race, it was like a strong grass growing in the wind, tall and unyielding!

She couldn't understand why the other party was so stubborn. This was Supreme's Direct Disciple, and he was willing to risk his life to refuse?

If one turns back now and pleads with Master in a soft voice, even if one may not be able to rejoin the Master's Sect, at least the Master will speak up and spare one's life.

Upon hearing Li Hao's words, the Dream Master, Meng Wanning, immediately changed her expression. The old man beside her and the other Great Dream Clan also paled, their faces showing anxiety. The Old Woman holding the divine staff, however, was slightly taken aback, looking at the young man with some surprise. When she saw the young man's sharp and profound gaze, she seemed to suddenly understand something.

She fell silent for a moment.

She tacitly allowed the entire clan to come here, including herself, in order to pave a path for them and gamble on a Future.

The young man did not treat them as mere Chess Piece, nor did he want them to bleed or be implicated.

Even in dire straits, she could still think of others' worries in the face of danger... Her fingers gripped the Withered Vine Divine Staff slightly, and she felt a long-lost ache in her throat, quietly taking a deep breath.

She longed to speak, to give the order, to sound the clarion call for attack, but ultimately she held back.

As the clan leader, she would never be easily swayed by her own emotions; instead, she remained remarkably calm.

Given the current situation, the boy's choice, though it pained and saddened her, was undoubtedly the most rational and calm decision.

Even if she risked her entire clan, she might not be able to help.

The Great Dream Clan of today is not the Great Dream Clan of Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Catastrophe... She cannot truly summon the ancestral artifact of her Lineage and fight for that boy with the idea of sacrificing the entire Lineage for its complete destruction; that is unrealistic. Even Meng Wanning, including herself, would not allow her Lineage to make such a sacrifice or take such action if she were in dire straits.

No one can bear the cost of their entire Lineage's destruction alone.

"Chief!"

Meng Wanning turned to look at the Old Woman, and seeing her head bowed in silence, her pupils contracted and her face turned pale.

The old man beside him also saw what the Old Woman was thinking. His face darkened, but he wasn't Anger. Instead, he silently reached out and pressed down on Meng Wanning's shoulder, shook his head slightly, and looked extremely complicated.

Seeing that the Great Dream Clan had compromised and the coldness in the Wind Spirit Race Chief's eyes had subsided, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ultimately, this is a feud between Jin Fengling and Li Hao. For the sake of a Great-Grandson, the entire clan was dragged into a bloody battle with the Great Dream Clan. He had to weigh the situation in his heart. However, this time it happened in the Heavenly Palace, and the young man refused the Supreme, which disgraced the Immortal Emperor. This move could be considered as pleasing the Supreme. Incidentally, he also had other plans with Emperor Jin. Based on all these factors, he came in person.

For him, avoiding war is naturally the best option right now.

After all, the Wind Spirit Race had already made their stance clear, yet they hadn't suffered any losses.

The other Great Dream Clan were all unwilling to accept the Old Woman's tacit agreement with Li Hao's words, but when they saw the Wind Spirit Race in front of them, they knew that it would be extremely difficult to get past them and send Li Hao away safely. Even if they all fought to the death here, they might not be able to do it.

"Ha, at least you have some backbone. In that case, I'll deal with you myself."

Jin Fengling sneered and strode towards Li Hao.

Li Hao's gaze swept over him, then turned to the Wind Spirit Race Chief behind him, lingering for a moment on the Crescent Divine Sword in his hand before settling on that aged face:

"If I slay the trash of your clan, what will your clan do then? Kill the young, and bring in the old ones?"

Upon hearing his cold and slightly sarcastic words, the expressions of the Wind Spirit Race members all changed, and some immediately rebuked him angrily.

"Ignorant brat, how dare you speak to our clan leader!"

"What kind of attitude is that? My clan leader is a powerful expert at the Immortal King Realm. You might not even reach that level in your entire life!"

"You only have a little Heavenly Talent; it would take you tens of thousands of years to cultivate to the Immortal King Realm, and yet you dare to be so arrogant!"

Li Hao ignored the angry shouts of the Wind Spirit Race members and simply stared coldly at the Wind Spirit Race leader.

"Snort!"

The Wind Spirit Race Chief narrowed his eyes. He had long witnessed the youth's arrogance, but he was a man of great stature. He knew that the youth was bold yet shrewd, and that these words were not simply a provocation, but rather an attempt to secure a way out for himself.

Does he really think he's confident he can defeat his Great-Grandson in adversity?

He was somewhat curious. Unless the other party had held back some power when facing that Sword Heart, but how could that be possible?

That's already the pinnacle of the True Immortal Realm.

However, just to be on the safe side, he added, "If you can defeat him, my Wind Spirit Race will not make things difficult for you, after all, it's just a battle between juniors. But whether others will cause you trouble is none of our concern!"

His words left much room for interpretation. If Li Hao could truly defeat Jin Fengling, he might not pursue the matter, but whether "others" would be secretly instructed by them to investigate was another matter entirely!

As a powerful clan, how can we allow such a danger to return to the mountains? No matter what, we must kill this young man here today!

Once you offend them, their entire family must be executed without exception!

A powerful clan that has stood firm in the True Realm for tens of thousands of years naturally employs ruthless methods.

Upon hearing the other party's words, Li Hao's eyes turned cold. These words were extremely similar to those of that Supreme, and the result was that he was now facing these troubles.

As expected, they didn't intend to let me leave... Li Hao couldn't help but laugh, but his eyes grew even colder.

As he retreated back to the Emperor Platform, past the Mingyue, his gaze remained unwavering, without even glancing at the other person.

Sensing the other party's disdain, Mingyue's expression changed slightly, but seeing the young man struggling like a trapped beast, facing a desperate situation yet remaining defiant, she suddenly felt that the other party seemed to be very different from her.

The other party did not rely on eagles, wolves, or tigers leaping from the mountains and fields, but she was a peerless Golden Lotus nurtured in Sacred Land grotto.

Whoosh!

As Li Hao stepped back onto the Emperor Platform, suddenly, a green figure flew over and also entered the Emperor Platform.

I'll stay with you.

The figure in green standing before Li Hao was none other than Lin Qingying.

Her sudden appearance stunned everyone at the Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Pavilion, who then gasped in surprise.

The noblewoman-looking elder, Lin Qingying's Master, immediately changed her expression and stepped forward, exclaiming in shock and anger, "Qingying, what are you doing?!"

Lin Qingying seemed not to have heard the voice, but turned to look at Li Hao, her eyes tender yet solemn and profound.

Li Hao was stunned, never expecting the other party to appear at this critical moment.

He saw the look in her eyes and immediately understood her feelings. He couldn't help but smile, but he also had an indescribable feeling.

"Leave me alone."

He stopped smiling and said in a low voice, "Even if I die in battle, I'll take some people down with me. You don't need to come with me."

"If you die, I will not live either."

Lin Qingying only said...

Li Hao's heart trembled slightly. He clenched his fingers slightly, feigning a relaxed demeanor, and transmitted his voice, "Leave quickly. I have the inheritance of Immortal Emperor and a means to protect myself. I might be able to live, but if you die first, wouldn't it be a pointless death?"

Lin Qingying was slightly taken aback, staring intently at Li Hao. Li Hao's words in the Cloudmist earlier, including those of the Supreme, all proved that Li Hao had inherited the Immortal Emperor's legacy.

She fell silent, her initial resolve to follow Li Hao to her death wavering.

If what Li Hao said is true, she really can't help with anything.

"Go, trust me."

Li Hao said.

Lin Qingying looked up at Li Hao, gazing intently into the boy's sincere eyes. In the end, she nodded and whispered:

"No matter what you say, I believe you."

After saying this, she turned and left the Emperor Platform, saying only as she left, "But if you die, I will not live on alone."

As she returned to the ground, countless eyes focused on her, filled with astonishment, confusion, and lively discussion.

At this moment, Li Hao was facing a desperate situation, with Jin Fengling and several other Immortal Lord Realm challengers, and was on the verge of death. Yet this woman was still willing to fight alongside him, which must be a testament to their deep affection. I wonder what their relationship is.

"Royal sister, Haotian seems to be your fiancé, right?"

On the other side, Chu Tianhuang, Bo Ya, Boya Xuejian, and the others fell silent. Chu Tianhuang whispered.

Behind him, Chu Yueli looked shocked and indignant, Non-Contention at Li Hao for his lack of ambition.

"I knew it. With his personality, he was bound to get into big trouble sooner or later. I never expected that the more capable he became, the more arrogant he would be. If he had just obediently become the disciple of the Supreme One, nothing would have happened. Why did he have to seek his own death like this!"

She was furious. If Li Hao became the Supreme's disciple, even if her relationship with him was nominal and without any real feelings, she could still gain access to numerous resources and factions within the Imperial Clan by leveraging his glory.

But now, if Li Hao were to perish, given this connection, even if the Betrothal hadn't been fulfilled, many people would likely avoid her.

"Back in the Ancient Immortal Realm, he dared to trample on the Imperial Clan. I knew then that he was an arrogant person!"

Chu Yueli was so angry she almost ground her teeth to powder. How could someone be so stupid? Even a toe could make the right choice, yet they still made the wrong one!

"That wretched woman, I wonder who she is. Didn't she want to go and die with someone? Why did she come back!"

She looked at Lin Qingying, having seen Li Hao exchanging glances with her earlier, and now her hatred intensified.

Chu Tianhuang frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Aren't you going to ask Father Emperor for help?"

"If Father wanted to help, would I need to ask? How would I know what Father was thinking? It's just his own Non-Contention!"

Chu Yueli said with a face full of anger.

Chu Tianhuang sighed inwardly, looking at the young man with regret in his eyes. He was originally an unparalleled Heavenly Prodigy, but due to his temperament, he eventually perished. Heavenly Prodigy geniuses have fallen throughout history, but he never expected to witness it with his own eyes, especially such a rare monster-level Prodigy.

"All the nuisances are gone, it's time for you to die too!"

At this moment, Jin Fengling also stepped onto the Emperor Platform, his sword surging with dark demonic energy.

Beside him, the two white-haired youths also arrived.
