"Li Xiaotian, tsk tsk, this old man still underestimated people of later generations. To have a Hegemon-level expert come to admit his guilt – no one in ancient times dared to do this."
Some people gasped. When they first heard the news, they thought it was a rumor. After all, no matter how arrogant or conceited a person was, they would still consider the situation to some extent.
They didn't expect the news to be true. Li Xiaotian's guts were too big! One must know that even among Hegemon-level experts, they wouldn't insult another Hegemon in such a manner.
"This is an insult to the strong, a provocation! Regardless of the Witch Lie Hegemon's stance, he is a genuine Hegemon! Li Xiaotian has gone too far!"
Someone roared, unable to stand Li Xiaotian's contemptuous attitude towards the strong.
"Heh, if those who don't know didn't know, they would think you, Li Xiaotian, are a Heavenly-level expert. Well said, Li Xiaotian. You've repeatedly insulted our Desolate Hall before, and now you're provoking a Hegemon. I truly don't know if you're puffing yourself up to look good or are eager to die."
A voice came from the Desolate Hall, full of mockery and disdain. They had underestimated Li Xiaotian. They thought the other party was arrogant enough for not giving their Desolate Hall face before, but they didn't expect his current actions to be even more outrageous!
"Some people are determined to seek death, not only wanting to die themselves but also dragging their friends and family to die with them. Heh, it's beneficial for humanity if such people die early!"
Li Xiaotian's words drew ridicule from countless forces, not because they sided with the Western Border Alliance, but because his words were full of provocation and insult to the strong.
However, they only said it, mocking and criticizing in secret, never daring to reveal their identities. After all, although the Great Qin seemed to have no way out now, its strength should not be underestimated.
At the same time, at the headquarters of the Western Border Alliance, within the Alliance Leader's palace, which was erected in less than a day, bursts of angry roars were constantly heard.
The palace was filled with a terrifying aura. Martial artists of the Emperor level with weaker strength had no power to approach the palace and could only watch from afar.
"Presumptuous!!! Utterly presumptuous!!! What did he say??? How dare he say such things? For me, the Alliance Leader, to go to the capital to admit guilt? To judge me?"
"How dare he?! Is he worthy? Just an ant! Does he know who his opponent is? It's me!!! A Hegemon-level expert!!!"
"He! Li Xiaotian! Is he not afraid of extermination? Is the Great Qin not afraid of my wrath?"
On the throne in the grand hall, Witch Lie roared frantically, his terrifying and powerful aura released without any concealment.
His expression was ferocious, his eyes filled with rage and killing intent!
This was humiliation! Utter humiliation! How could he tolerate being provoked by a junior of the later generation, he, a Hegemon-level expert?
"Father, calm your anger! In your eyes, Li Xiaotian is merely an ant. His uttering such presumptuous words is simply because he knows he is bound to die and wants to retaliate against you in this manner," Wu Neng said, then his face flashed with ferocity, and he continued.
"Father, however, a Hegemon cannot be insulted. Regardless of Li Xiaotian's purpose, we will absolutely not let him off lightly! I propose that we immediately mobilize the army, capture Li Xiaotian alive, and then kill everyone he knows in front of him, forcing him to kneel and admit his guilt, making him regret his stupidity!"
"Indeed, Alliance Leader, dispatch the troops! Li Xiaotian is simply too audacious. It was one thing to mock us before, but he should never have provoked your authority! We must retaliate immediately with action, letting him know the consequences of enraging our Western Border Alliance!"
Someone agreed, their faces also looking very displeased. Witch Lie was their Alliance Leader, and insulting Witch Lie was equivalent to insulting everyone in their alliance.
Not to mention that Li Xiaotian's words about judging their alliance were truly detestable!
"This old man also agrees to dispatch troops! Alliance Leader, since the alliance has been established, we should let the world see our strength! The Great Qin will be the whetstone for our alliance!"
Zi Yun spoke, but a strange glint flickered in his eyes. Was the Great Qin weak? Was Li Xiaotian too arrogant?
Heh, was this superficial appearance the truth? He clearly remembered that from the beginning, they had always looked down on the Great Qin and Li Xiaotian.
But the reality was that they were always overturned by Li Xiaotian. No matter how well-prepared they were, they would be utterly defeated!
And this time, Li Xiaotian's provocation seemed brainless, but perhaps the other party was luring the enemy deeper.
One must know that Li Xiaotian was the fastest cultivator in the current era, the most talented and heaven-defying number one person. Would such a person be a fool?
Zi Yun muttered to himself. The fifty Emperor-level experts were all annihilated. He had secretly investigated the five cities of the Great Qin. The other four cities had traces of battle, but one city had no traces at all!
And the people who attacked that city, two late-stage Emperor level and eleven mid-stage Emperor level, were all captured alive and finally beheaded by Li Xiaotian in public!
What kind of expert had the strength to capture those people alive? Zi Yun believed he couldn't do it himself. Ordinary Hegemon-level experts might be able to kill those people easily, but they definitely couldn't capture all of them alive!
One must know that among that team, one late-stage Emperor level was wielding a Heavenly-grade weapon, but he was captured alive without even a chance to resist.
This could only mean one thing: the Great Qin had a top-tier Hegemon-level expert!
Of course, this was just Zi Yun's own speculation, and he couldn't figure out the specific situation.
However, he had someone readily available to test his conjecture, so why wouldn't he use it?
Zi Yun sneered inwardly, a hint of killing intent flashing. The Alliance Leader of the Western Border Alliance should be himself! The current Witch Lie was only temporary!
It would be best if the Great Qin had a top-tier Hegemon guarding it, eliminating Witch Lie for him, so he could reclaim the position of Alliance Leader!
Hearing everyone in the hall speaking to request battle, Witch Lie's head became hot. He suddenly stood up and then said.
"By my order as Alliance Leader, assemble all forces. Today, the Great Qin shall be destroyed! Li Xiaotian must die!"
"Spread my words: this Alliance Leader wants that bastard Li Xiaotian to await my judgment in regret and fear!!!"
"We obey the order!!!"
In the grand hall, many Emperor-level experts responded in unison, their faces flashing with excitement.
The grievances they had suffered in the last two wars from the sixteen sects could finally be vented!
Instantly, everyone in the Western Border Alliance mobilized. Boundless troops assembled, with dozens of Emperor-level experts soaring into the sky. In the center, five flying demonic beasts pulled a carriage, with Witch Lie seated within.
"Depart!!!"
With a command from Witch Lie, the army immediately set out.
On this expedition, everyone in the Western Border Alliance had faces full of pride and excitement. They no longer hid their tracks, nor did they worry about exposing their identities.
Because their Alliance Leader was a Hegemon. This time, they wanted all forces to see how powerful their Western Border Alliance was!
