"Will you do what? Are you trying to defy my orders?"
Li Yun sneered coldly, his gaze like swords as he fixed Lu Xiu in place. In an instant, Lu Xiu felt enormous pressure bearing down on him. He froze on the spot, his face turning pale with fright, stammering and utterly unable to explain himself.
Seeing this, Baidu Profound Venerable hurriedly came to Lu Xiu's rescue.
"Hall Master... you have misunderstood."
"Lu Xiu did not mean that. What he meant was that the repercussions of doing this would be too great. If things go wrong, the entire Immortal Scar Realm could fall into chaos, and the Immortal Slaying Hall could become a target for public outrage..."
Only then did Lu Xiu come to his senses. He nodded frantically. "Yes, yes, yes, that's exactly what I meant. Hall Master, please reconsider. Purging some of the surrounding factions and keeping it within a certain range will not bring much trouble to the Immortal Slaying Hall, but if we truly assassinate a Profound Venerable... then the trouble will be immense."
"Heh, the trouble is too great?"
"The greater the trouble, the better. What I fear is that the trouble will not be great enough."
"Do not forget that I am now the Hall Master. Whatever I tell you to do, you will do. Stop giving me all this nonsense."
"Anything I, Li Yun, decide will not be changed in the slightest."
"Within three months, I want to see you kill at least one Profound Venerable. You can decide the method yourselves. I do not care. I only care about the result!"
"It is decided!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yun flashed away, vanishing completely from the three men's sight.
Lu Xiu's body swayed, and he collapsed straight onto the ground.
