Li Xiaotian looked at Qin Shan and the others, then spoke in a flat tone.
"There are many situations in Linhai similar to the Shen family, such as you, him, and him!"
As he spoke, Li Xiaotian pointed at Qin Shan, Shen Feiyu, and the Luohai Sect martial artists whose bodies contained blood seeds, then paused and continued.
"You are the same as the Shen family, so you must also die."
Instantly, Qin Shan and the others turned pale, their expressions filled with disbelief and anger.
They were the same as the Shen family?
And they had to die too?!!
How was this possible?!!
This was simply absurd!
"Lord Li! You are joking too much. How can we be the same as the Shen family? I am at the peak of the Emperor rank. If I were controlled and turned into a non-human, would I not know?"
Qin Shan's expression turned grim. He feared Li Xiaotian, but if Li Xiaotian truly intended to kill him, he would not stand idly by. He continued to speak.
"Lord Li, you are a Hegemon-level expert. If our Luohai Sect has offended you in any way, you can speak it plainly. If we owe an apology, our Luohai Sect will not refuse!"
"However, if you use such ridiculous reasons to sentence us to death, leaving us no chance to live, then our Luohai Sect is not to be trifled with."
"Even ants can shake the heavens!"
In his opinion, the reasons Li Xiaotian gave were illogical and very ridiculous.
This was treating them like fools! They were to die with a mere excuse, this was simply bullying them!
Suddenly, Qin Shan's heart jolted, and he looked at Li Xiaotian with disbelief, gritting his teeth.
"Could it be that Lord Li now believes that Great Qin has unified Yan Province, and we ancient sects are like malignant tumors, and Great Qin wishes to discard us after we have served our purpose?!"
He was not guessing randomly, but there was a real possibility. Great Qin had now unified Yan Province, and they, the ancient sects, remained a destabilizing factor for Great Qin.
Previously, some ancient sects had harbored such suspicions, but Qin Shan did not expect the reckoning from Great Qin to come so quickly, and the first to be dealt with was his Luohai Sect!
"Master, Li Xiaotian just wants to cross the river and burn the bridge! Now that Great Qin is powerful, ordinary sects like us are no longer a threat to Great Qin, so they don't need us anymore!"
Shen Feiyu gritted his teeth, his eyes fixed on Li Xiaotian, and continued.
"My Shen family was merely a prelude for him to attack our Luohai Sect!"
"Being controlled, not being human, it's all just an excuse he fabricated! He is a Hegemon! Whatever he says is law afterwards, who in the world would dare to question him?"
After Shen Feiyu finished speaking, the other Luohai Sect members also spoke up, all of them having been pointed out by Li Xiaotian.
"Lord Li, as a powerful expert, bullying us, who are of lower cultivation, like this, where is your mighty presence? By doing this, are you not afraid of inciting the resistance of other sects in the world like the Luohai Sect?"
"Previously, in the capital, Lord Qin personally said that after Great Qin unified Yan Province, they would coexist peacefully with the ancient sects and mutually support each other! And now? How long has it been, and you've already revealed your true colors?"
"With a mere excuse, you want our lives, Lord Li. Do you think we are so easily fooled? You claim we are controlled, do you have any evidence?"
"Great Qin talks about equality for all, but what about now? You destroyed the Shen family, and now you want to destroy our Luohai Sect! Is this equality? Hmph! What's the difference between this and the rule of the strong in ancient times?"
"Still calling him 'Lord Li'? Does he deserve it? He wants to kill us now! Think about how many of our ancient people he has killed? How many forces has he destroyed? Great Qin's so-called peace is just to appease us!"
Everyone spoke up, their expressions filled with unwillingness and anger.
Although they admitted Li Xiaotian was powerful, for him to want them dead without reason, how could they not be enraged?!
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, Li Xiaotian revealed a trace of killing intent, locking onto the crowd. For a moment, everyone turned pale and felt a surge of panic.
Was Li Xiaotian preparing to make a move?
"You don't understand! I never intended for you to understand. If I kill you, it's out of necessity."
Li Xiaotian spoke, after all, he didn't know if Qin Shan and the others had done evil before. Killing them without cause, he couldn't bear it, as he was not yet cold-blooded and ruthless.
But no matter what, Qin Shan and the others had been infected with blood seeds and could not escape death. Therefore, he had to be the one to play the villain!
"Sorry!"
Li Xiaotian murmured, a hint of apology flashing in his eyes. His killing intent towards Li Wenbo intensified in his heart. Qin Shan and these people might be innocent, but if Li Wenbo hadn't caused trouble, how would these people have died?
But having been infected by Li Wenbo's blood seeds, if he didn't kill Qin Shan and the others, and they turned into blood slaves, then even more people would die!
Upon hearing Li Xiaotian's words, Qin Shan and the others' expressions changed drastically. They sensed Li Xiaotian's killing intent to make a move.
"Flee!!! Spread everything that happened today! Let all the major forces know Li Xiaotian's true face!"
Qin Shan roared and immediately turned to flee into the distance, and the other Luohai Sect martial artists also fled.
"Kill!!! Li Xiaotian! Return my kin's lives!!"
At this very moment, Shen Feiyu did not choose to flee. He suddenly erupted with his combat power and charged towards Li Xiaotian.
His family was dead, and he was no match for Li Xiaotian. It was unlikely he could escape either, so he might as well make a desperate attack. Even if he could injure the opponent, he would be content. At least it would buy some time for his fellow disciples.
"Feiyu! Damnation!!! Come back!!"
From afar, Qin Shan, who was fleeing, was immediately shocked. Shen Feiyu was his personal disciple, extraordinarily talented, and his future achievements would not be inferior to his own, perhaps even higher.
He had imparted all his knowledge to Shen Feiyu, even intending to hand over the future of the Luohai Sect to him.
He cannot die!!!
In an instant, this thought flashed through Qin Shan's mind. Shen Feiyu was the hope of the Luohai Sect. As long as he lived, their Luohai Sect would have a chance to rise again.
With this in mind, Qin Shan immediately turned and charged towards Shen Feiyu; he wanted to save him.
Meanwhile, Shen Feiyu had already approached Li Xiaotian, and his fist was about to hit him.
Li Xiaotian's aura also surged, preparing to strike.
"Buzz!"
A blade light flashed, and Li Xiaotian made his move.
"Fool! Flee!!!"
Seeing that Li Xiaotian was about to destroy Shen Feiyu with a single saber strike, Qin Shan had already caught up. He roared and pushed Shen Feiyu aside, rushing to meet Li Xiaotian's long saber.
"Boom!"
The blade light flickered, and Qin Shan's body exploded. His peak Emperor rank strength was no match for Li Xiaotian.
"Li Xiaotian!!! Someone will avenge me! Great Qin is breaking its promises, and it will eventually face retribution! I will wait for you on the road to the Yellow Springs!!!"
Qin Shan's roar, filled with unwillingness and hatred, resounded through the sky as he died.
"Master!!!"
From afar, Shen Feiyu's eyes bled tears. He was heartbroken and wanted to rush forward, but he was held back by his fellow disciples, who pulled him along as they fled quickly.
