Li Wenbo’s gift, to put it bluntly, was to smear Li Xiaotian, tarnishing Li Xiaotian’s current image.
Just as the Shen family was annihilated by Li Xiaotian, it was because those people had been implanted with blood seeds by Li Wenbo. The end result was either becoming beast-like blood slaves or being killed.
But outsiders didn’t know, so in the eyes of outsiders at this moment, it was Li Xiaotian provoking the Shen family without reason and then destroying the Shen family.
Of course, the ordinary people who survived in the hotel might be able to testify for Li Xiaotian, but they were ordinary people, and who would believe their words?
However, Li Wenbo still didn't understand Li Xiaotian. His methods had no impact on Li Xiaotian.
If ordinary people encountered such a situation, they might be unable to move an inch due to the misunderstanding of the world, but Li Xiaotian wouldn't, because he simply didn't care.
Outside the hotel, Shen Feiyu and more than a dozen powerful figures from the Luanghai Sect had completely sealed off the surroundings, exuding murderous intent.
Seeing the tragic scene in the hotel lobby, everyone was enraged. Just as they were about to make a move, Li Xiaotian walked out unhurriedly.
Upon seeing Li Xiaotian’s appearance, everyone froze in place.
"Overlord Li Xiaotian!!!"
Someone exclaimed on the spot, his face filled with horror and disbelief.
These people from the Luanghai Sect were martial artists, unlike the ordinary people in the hotel. How could they not recognize Li Xiaotian’s appearance?
Instantly, everyone’s faces changed, becoming pale and bloodless, their eyes filled with fear and confusion.
"It’s actually Lord Li. How could it be him? Why would he attack an ordinary Shen family? And why would he kill our Luanghai Sect elder!"
Someone’s face turned pale, and their body trembled slightly. That was Li Xiaotian, a霸主-level powerhouse who dared to challenge top forces like the Desolate Hall and the Divine Sect.
He had even slain an overlord-level monstrous beast at the Imperial level, possessing terrifying combat power and being domineering and ruthless.
Why would the other party be here? With his status, for a mere mortal Shen family, the other party could have anyone handle it with a single word; he wouldn’t need to act personally.
Let alone the Shen family, even their Luanghai Sect could be destroyed with just a thought from him.
But! He was an overlord-level powerhouse! He was the second figure in Great Qin. For him to bully the weak like this completely broke the rules. Wasn't he afraid of damaging his own prestige?
"Li Xiaotian!!! As an overlord, and with Lin Hai City now under Great Qin’s control, and my Shen family being citizens of Great Qin! Why?!!! Why did you destroy my Shen family?!!!"
Shen Feiyu roared, his eyes filled with hatred. Although he knew Li Xiaotian’s identity, so what?
His family was dead, his father and grandfather were dead! The revenge for the annihilation of his clan, and the enemy was right before his eyes, how could he restrain himself?
"Feiyu! Calm down!!!"
From within the crowd, a middle-aged man immediately spoke and instantly arrived beside Shen Feiyu, grabbing him. He was afraid Shen Feiyu would impulsively offend Li Xiaotian.
He was Qin Shan, the Sect Master of the Luanghai Sect. He had initially been filled with killing intent and rage upon hearing that the Shen family was destroyed by a young man and that the young man had also killed an elder of their sect.
But after recognizing Li Xiaotian, he calmed down, breaking out in a cold sweat.
This was a true god of death, whose victims among the powerful were countless, killing and destroying families without a word.
And their Luanghai Sect was just an ordinary sect, and he himself was only at the peak of the Imperial level. Facing Li Xiaotian, they didn't even have the strength to fight.
If they truly angered Li Xiaotian, their Luanghai Sect would not be far from destruction.
"Lord Li, I am Qin Shan, the Sect Master of the Luanghai Sect. When Lord Qin announced the unification of Yan Zhou in the capital of Great Qin that day, I was also fortunate enough to witness Lord Li’s demeanor."
Qin Shan clasped his fists and spoke, already deciding not to stand up for the Shen family. A mortal family, if it was destroyed, it was destroyed.
Now, he wanted to understand Li Xiaotian’s purpose for coming here, why he destroyed the Shen family, and whether his Luanghai Sect would be implicated.
"May I ask Lord Li, what transgressions did the Shen family commit that led you to personally take action? Is there some misunderstanding in this?"
After speaking, Qin Shan felt uneasy, regretting asking this question. Logically, he should have apologized and then left with his sect members. That would have been the most prudent approach.
Li Xiaotian looked up at Qin Shan, then at Shen Feiyu, a flicker of mockery in his eyes.
Among the sixteen people from the Luanghai Sect present, ten of them had blood seeds in their bodies. Both Qin Shan and Shen Feiyu were among them.
He chuckled self-deprecatingly. It seemed he had to kill again. However, in doing so, his reputation would be completely ruined.
So be it! If it’s ruined, it’s ruined! Li Xiaotian smiled. Of course, he also wanted to let these people die with understanding. He then looked at Qin Shan and spoke unhurriedly.
"First, the Shen family disregarded Great Qin’s system, privately established an army, and wantonly killed innocent people! Second, this is the reason I personally took action to destroy the Shen family: those Shen family members who died were all controlled by someone and were no longer human."
"What???!!!"
"Controlled by someone? Not human? How is this possible?"
For a moment, the people from the Luanghai Sect were all surprised, each speaking involuntarily. The first reason was directly ignored by them, and what shocked them was the second.
The reason Li Xiaotian gave was simply too preposterous. If the Shen family was controlled by someone and was not human, how would they not know?
"Absurd!!! Li Xiaotian, you are lying!!! Controlled by someone? Not human? These are simply excuses you fabricated!"
Shen Feiyu roared, his face contorted with hatred. His gaze towards Li Xiaotian was filled with resentment.
The reason Li Xiaotian gave was too absurd! Were his father, grandfather, and family controlled by someone, not human? Didn’t he himself know?
In his opinion, it must be that his Shen family had offended Li Xiaotian, and that was why they were annihilated!
"Li Xiaotian, you are an overlord! The God of War of Great Qin! Are you ashamed to deceive us with such a shoddy excuse?!"
Shen Feiyu questioned, his heart filled with hatred. As a modern person, Li Xiaotian could be considered his idol.
In his eyes, Li Xiaotian was brave and righteous, powerful, and never threatened by anyone.
But now, he couldn't imagine that the person he admired had killed his relatives.
"Feiyu! Don't be rash! Lord Li must have his reasons for saying this. Let Lord Li finish speaking."
Qin Shan stabilized Shen Feiyu, frowning. He also felt that Li Xiaotian's words were very absurd, but their Luanghai Sect was no match for Li Xiaotian at all, so no matter how absurd it was, he had to accept it!
At this moment, he could only hope that some top powerhouses would hear about this and seek justice from Li Xiaotian.
Qin Shan thought to himself, with Li Xiaotian doing such a thing, he didn’t believe that some of the top powerhouses in Yan Zhou would ignore it?
After all, an overlord casually killing ordinary people was undoubtedly breaking the rules and incurring the wrath of the public.
If the strong did not restrain themselves and arbitrarily acted against ordinary people, the world would have long been in chaos.
What’s more important was that what Li Xiaotian was doing at this moment had violated the system of Great Qin. According to Great Qin’s rules, everyone was equal. Martial artists could not arbitrarily act against ordinary people. Even if there were grievances, they had to be resolved through Great Qin’s official channels.
But he didn't expect that Li Xiaotian’s next sentence would make him, and everyone present, change their expressions drastically.
