He had already cursed every disciple in the valley countless times in his heart. Their usual arrogance and tyranny were one thing—after all, Ice River Valley was one of the great powers of the Central Plains—but they should at least know who they could offend and who they could not. Their enemy had already come knocking at their door.
If this was mishandled today, the other party could wipe out Ice River Valley with a single slap. He did not doubt that the other party possessed such strength. The weight carried by the word Saint on the Dou Qi Continent was simply too great!
Liu Bai watched him tremble with fear, a faint cold smile curling at his lips. He did not know what twists and turns filled Ice Venerable's mind, nor did he care to know.
"Give me what I want, and I'll leave immediately. I'll even leave Ice River Valley with a surviving branch."
Ice Venerable was overjoyed upon hearing this. As long as they could negotiate, things were not hopeless. If they could communicate, there was still room to turn things around.
"May I ask what Your Excellency requires? So long as Ice River Valley possesses it, please name it."
Liu Bai stared at him and spoke slowly, one word at a time.
"Your body, and your soul!"
The smile on Ice Venerable's face instantly froze.
"W-What?"
He looked at Liu Bai in disbelief. For a moment, he even suspected that he had misheard. His body and soul? Was Liu Bai asking for his life?
But Liu Bai had no intention of wasting words with him.
"Xian'er, take him down! Leave that one-star Dou Venerate elder behind. It's been a long time since I fought, and my hands have been itching. I'll handle him myself."
