Lü Zhun sneered.

Li Xinnian understood the meaning behind the Night-Watch God's smile and words, as well as the absurd threat and scheme in his mouth. In truth, he had never cared about Wei Gang's or the Lesser Fate Master's lives. If this was another transaction, and Lü Zhun could pay a sufficient price, he would be more than willing to strike a deal for profit. After all, the family would also be happy to acquire two Integration Realm corpses.

The greater cause of humanity? At least in his heart, none of it mattered more than strengthening the family. Yet Lü Zhun's oppression made him realize a terrifying fact: in the eyes of the Immortal Court's immortals, their Azure Cloud Li Family stood even lower than the "lesser immortals" of the Four Immortal Divisions. This oppression was more like a "breaking-in."

All at once, Li Xinnian understood the meaning of the "greater cause of humanity."

Because they would never be accepted by the Immortal Court. Once they allowed themselves to be driven by the Immortal Court, it would be like falling into a mire—one wrong step, and they would sink ever deeper. In the end, their sins would grow heavier and heavier, and humanity's hostility toward them would only deepen. They could only passively submit to the immortals' commands. And that guilt would be laid upon their children and descendants. No matter how humanity schemed and deceived one another now, they were still human. Their descendants might one day encounter a flourishing age built by humanity.

"Perhaps my words were somewhat harsh, but as the master of Peerless Hall, I trust you can understand this principle." Seeing Li Xinnian sink into thought, Lü Zhun knew his severity had cowed this lowly yet arrogant human. The smile returned to his face.
