Feeling the immense pressure, Huang Tianhua hurried to deny it.
"Fellow Daoist Li, you've misunderstood!"
"Fellow Daoist Li is a supreme expert. The Huang Family has always sought your protection. How could we possibly hire someone to assassinate you?"
"This must be the Nine Suns Sword Sect's doing. Only they have a motive. I hope you'll see the truth, Fellow Daoist Li..."
The moment he finished speaking, Huo Dongxi leaped forward and roared at Huang Tianhua, "You bastard! You dare throw mud on us right in front of me? What are you playing at?"
"Do you really think the Nine Suns Sword Sect wouldn't dare touch you?"
After berating Huang Tianhua, Huo Dongxi hurried to explain to Li Yun, "Fellow Daoist Li, please don't misunderstand. The Nine Suns Sword Sect truly had nothing to do with this, from beginning to end..."
Before he could finish, Li Yun waved a hand and cut him off.
"Misunderstand what?"
"What's there to misunderstand about such a petty matter?"
"I've already killed the Saint Gold-level assassin from the Rakshasa Hall. I even erased every trace of his existence from this world. If I couldn't tell who was behind something like this, what would I still be sitting here for?"
"I might as well smash my head against a block of tofu and die."
Li Yun curled his lip in disdain and swept his gaze over Huang Tianhua. "But the Huang Family... tsk, tsk. So many schemes, so many tricks. Pity you're short-sighted and far too full of yourselves. With that paltry strength of yours, you dared play the chessmaster and use others as your pieces?"
"Scheme against me?"
"As if you're worthy."
As his words fell, Li Yun thrust out a hand and brought it down toward Huang Tianhua.
In an instant,
Huang Tianhua
