These eloquent words resonated in everyone's ears.
Behind the chief steward, the Snow Heaven Clan experts who had surrendered and were already in despair suddenly perked up and became radiant.
These words pulled them back from the brink of danger.
Genius!
This is genius!
They stared in awe at the steward's retreating figure, silently giving him a thumbs-up, filled with utter admiration.
Awesome! Absolutely awesome!
What seemed like a certain death had been turned around.
Because they noticed that the other party was starting to show interest, even whispering and discussing it quietly.
As everyone knows, the Mysterious Heaven Realm has a strict hierarchy, with the supreme Realm Lord being the Lord of the Twelve Divine Hall.
Besides the lords of the twelve Divine Hall, the next group consists of the generals of each temple. Regardless of their number, they all possess supreme cultivation and high status.
Tianxue Futu, who was at the half-step Great Dao cultivation level, was merely a disciple of a divine general.
With the power of a divine general, eliminating the Snow Heaven Clan would be as simple as saying a word; a flick of a finger could easily erase everything.
Tianxue Liuli frowned slightly, her eyes flickering with uncertainty, clearly indicating that she was going through a great internal struggle.
She carried the Fate of the Snow Heaven Clan on her shoulders, and every decision she made was crucial. Although she wanted to kill Tianxue Changming from the bottom of her heart, she suddenly felt that what he said made sense.
Bearing the weight of her race's Fate made her indecisive.
"Sister, don't listen to his nonsense. Kill this old beast. Who knows if what he's saying is true or false? Even if it is, will God give him face?"
The future of the Snow Heaven Clan cannot be entrusted to the hands of such a beast!
Tianxue Yaoyue shouted with a frosty expression, gritting her teeth and staring intently at the head steward, wanting to make a move but trying her best to restrain herself.
"Tianxue Liuli, I hope you will think this over carefully, as well as all the elders. If I become the clan leader, I will not only be able to avert the crisis for the Snow Heaven Clan."
I can also lead the Snow Heaven Clan to prosperity, because I have a divine general behind me. With this connection, how could I not prosper?
Do you all agree?
Seeing that Tianxue Liuli was interested, the head steward immediately launched a further attack. He knew Tianxue Liuli's character well, so he used the future of the Snow Heaven Clan as leverage to seize the key point in one fell swoop.
After hearing his words, Tianxue Liuli was indeed tempted, her face showing hesitation.
Just as she was struggling, a mocking voice rang out.
"Old man, aren't you being a bit too self-important? You've said so much, but did you even ask me?"
Ling Xiao said with a sneer, watching his performance with his hands behind his back.
"Ling Xiao, wasn't what I just said clear enough? If you leave now, I'll pretend nothing happened."
"I won't complain about you to that divine general, otherwise you will surely die when that general arrives."
Tianxue Changming glanced at Ling Xiao with surprise and some dissatisfaction. She wondered why he hadn't left yet, given how much she had said.
They're so immature.
After hearing his words, Ling Xiao waved his hand and laughed, "You don't need to worry about that. Anyway, you won't be able to see the Divine General."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Xiao raised his hand and pointed, and a beam of Primordial Nine Purities Immortal Light flew out, like the Milky Way pouring down, instantly engulfing the head steward.
"Ah... Ling Xiao, you can't kill me! Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Divine General?"
The head steward was terrified and tried to escape, but was enveloped by the divine light first. He roared in terror, his voice growing weaker and weaker.
"Could it be that the Divine General is your father? Even if it is, I'm not afraid." Ling Xiao chuckled; this father and son were quite a pair of talents.
No, we should also include the grandson; they're all loving fathers and filial sons.
He killed Tianxue Futu, yet this guy still wanted to take the opportunity to win people's hearts and seize power.
Even at a time like this, he's still thinking about that wretched position of clan chief.
Last time, Ling Xiao spared Tianxue Changming's life because of the system's choice, but today, without a choice and without any benefit, he could not let her go a second time.
In the blink of an eye, the head steward, who had been so full of vigor just moments before, vanished without a trace in the Nine Pure Immortal Light.
Although he was dead, his screams seemed to still echo in everyone's ears, his voice and appearance still vivid, making the Snow Heaven Clan who followed him feel as if they had lost their parents, just like losing their mother.
This wasn't a lament about the departure of the head steward; it was a clear sense that he himself was doomed, finished, and his future was bleak.
One hope after another was crushed and trampled to pieces.
Tianxue Liuli's body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground, powerless. Before she could make up her mind, the head steward was killed by Ling Xiao.
"This is terrible..." She was somewhat confused, unsure whether to cry or laugh.
One crisis is resolved, only to be followed by an even more serious one.
"Ling Xiao, you shouldn't have killed him."
"You'd better leave quickly, or it will be too late once the True Demon Palace investigates."
Tianxue Liuli said helplessly, somewhat numb, her expression indescribably bitter. She looked frail and weak, and even the clan leader showed the demeanor of a daughter.
Ling Xiao's actions left her exhausted and miserable.
They're such a troublemaker.
No one could have imagined that Ling Xiao would be this strong, Tianxue Futu was no match for him.
Even if I were completely unharmed, I probably wouldn't be able to defeat him.
Originally Tianxue Liuli was grateful to Ling Xiao for saving her from the fire, but she felt that it was a bit reckless, too extreme, and not steady enough.
Right now, the only option is to let Ling Xiao leave and let her bear the consequences herself.
Who told her to be the patriarch of the Snow Heaven Clan!
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao chuckled, a hint of mockery in his expression.
Do you think everything will calm down once I leave? Or do you think you can handle this on your own?
"That's not how you act as a clan leader."
"Constant forbearance and hesitation will not necessarily bring a bright future."
"Take a chance, and your bicycle might turn into a motorcycle."
"You are too indecisive. If this continues, the Snow Heaven Clan will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later."
Ling Xiao publicly criticized Tianxue Liuli, unable to bear her inner turmoil.
Based on Ling Xiao's experience, sometimes one cannot be too cautious; one must act decisively when the time is right.
Tianxue Liuli listened blankly, somewhat confused about what it meant for a bicycle to turn into a motorcycle.
After a moment of silence, she spoke up as if possessed, "Why don't you become the clan leader?"
Upon hearing this, all the powerful members of the Snow Heaven Clan were stunned.
You know what, it doesn't seem like a bad idea.
"Hehe..." Ling Xiao paused for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled, "I won't be the clan leader. You should take over yourself."
Tianxue Liuli smiled helplessly, finding her own ridiculous idea laughable.
Suddenly, a deafening explosion shattered the sky, followed by an endless torrent of lightning, rumbling and roaring, stretching for thousands of miles.
A figure emerged bathed in lightning, its entire body wreathed in surging arcs of electricity, even its pupils shaped like lightning bolts.
