Upon hearing Li Xiaotian's words, the members of the Desolate Hall immediately assumed Li Xiaotian was afraid, their faces showing disdain.
Even Liu Neng looked surprised, thinking Li Xiaotian was supposed to be fearless. It turned out that in the face of absolute strength, Li Xiaotian also had to bow his head.
"Heh heh, I am Huang Tang, the Third Elder of the Enforcement Hall of the Desolate Hall. I am here specifically to deliver my Hall Master's order."
Huang Tang spoke with a proud demeanor, his gaze flicking towards Liu Neng. Is this the Li Xiaotian who has made you suffer repeatedly? He doesn't seem like much. A flicker of embarrassment and suspicion crossed Liu Neng's face at the sight.
Huang Tang, Huang Tang (Desolate Hall, Absurd), cough cough, Li Xiaotian blinked. The names of ancient people were truly arbitrary.
Long Yi and the others also struggled to suppress their laughter, their expressions peculiar. This old fellow's name was quite unique.
"The Desolate Master has decreed that the world has undergone great changes. Great Qin is no longer the Great Qin of the past. This time, Great Qin deliberately initiated a war to conquer the Five Great Sects, including the Beast Taming Sect, and annihilated both the Beast Taming Sect and the Heavenly Fire Sect. Their methods were cruel, disrupting the human race's situation, weakening the human race's strength, and their intentions are punishable!"
Li Xiaotian and the others' expressions gradually turned cold as they heard this, their eyes filled with anger and killing intent.
"However, considering that Great Qin is a present-day human force and its growth has not been easy, this Hall Master cannot bear to see Great Qin head towards destruction."
"Therefore, this Hall Master has decided to take the Lord of Great Qin as a disciple, imparting peerless cultivation techniques. Great Qin will be renamed Qin Sect, and it can become a subordinate sect of the Desolate Hall, enjoying the protection of the Desolate Hall. As long as the Desolate Hall exists, the Qin Sect will exist!"
After Huang Tang finished speaking, he smoothed his beard and continued with a smile.
"What do you think, Li Xiaotian? Why don't you quickly have the Qin Lord come out to receive the decree? The Desolate Master taking him as a disciple is an honor for you all in Great Qin. You should know that in ancient times, sects stronger than your Great Qin were not even qualified to be subordinate sects of our Desolate Hall."
"Where is the Qin Lord? Hurry out and thank our Desolate Master for his favor! You must know that our Desolate Master is a overlord-level expert. For him to take you as a disciple is your honor, and even more so for your Qin family lineage."
Someone from the Desolate Hall spoke, their words filled with arrogance.
"And you, Li Xiaotian, why don't you quickly kneel and thank the Desolate Master for his favor? Li Xiaotian, your Dragon King Hall has merged with the Great Qin War Department, so you have benefited from Great Qin's influence. In the future, you will have the honor of becoming a subordinate sect of our Desolate Hall."
Liu Neng spoke, his eyes filled with mockery.
"Heh heh, you want our Qin Lord to become your Hall Master's disciple? Great Qin to be renamed Qin Sect, and then become a subordinate sect of the Desolate Hall, serving the Desolate Hall?"
Li Xiaotian spoke indifferently, his voice icy.
"That's right, it's just like that. Li Xiaotian, you are also considered a genius. This matter is a great fortune for you. Don't fail to cherish it. If you follow our Desolate Hall, I will request a Heavenly-level elder in the Hall to take you as a disciple. This is a tremendous opportunity for you!"
Huang Tang spoke, while inwardly laughing disdainfully. No matter how much you, Li Xiaotian, are hailed as the number one expert of the present human race, without the protection of a powerful sect, your achievements will be limited. Perhaps in this lifetime, you will only be able to stop at the peak of the Emperor realm.
"Alright, let's not waste any more time. Hurry and have the Qin Lord come out and bring all of you to kneel and receive the decree. Our time is limited, and we cannot linger here any longer."
Huang Tang waved his hand, appearing impatient.
"Heh heh." Li Xiaotian sneered, glanced at the people from the Desolate Hall, and then focused his gaze on Huang Tang, saying.
"Could it be that the Hall Master of the Desolate Hall's brain was scared last time by Senior Jian Chen? Or is his greatest skill daydreaming? Or was he stimulated by the livestream last time? Has he become stupid?"
"Presumptuous!!!"
Huang Tang and the others were instantly enraged. Li Xiaotian had insulted their Hall Master repeatedly in front of them, how could they tolerate this?
"It is you who are presumptuous!!! You dare to be so arrogant on the territory of my Great Qin? Do you think Great Qin has no one?"
Li Xiaotian roared, his malevolent aura erupting. At the same time, Long Yi and the others behind him, as well as the numerous soldiers on the ground, all had eyes filled with killing intent.
"Buzz!" Li Xiaotian directly raised his saber and slashed forward. A massive saber shadow appeared in the air, descending towards the heads of Huang Tang and the others.
"You are courting death!!!" Huang Tang and the others were furious upon seeing this. Before they had even made a move, how dared Li Xiaotian strike first?
"Bang!" With a resounding crash, Huang Tang was the first to block Li Xiaotian's attack. At this moment, a long sword appeared in his hand, which was clearly a Heavenly Armament!
"Li Xiaotian, we were ordered by the Desolate Master to bestow an opportunity upon your Great Qin. You ungratefully dare to attack us? Believe it or not, we will annihilate your capital city!"
Huang Tang roared, his face contorted with rage. Although there were eight of them, their strength clearly surpassed that of Great Qin. He couldn't understand how Li Xiaotian dared to initiate the attack. This was seeking death!
"Bullshit! So what if I attack you? This King also wants to destroy you, and incidentally remind some stray cats and dogs that Great Qin is no longer the Great Qin of the past. If you want trouble, be prepared to die!"
Li Xiaotian cursed, lunging forward. Long Yi and the others behind him also moved. Simultaneously, six figures flew rapidly from a distance in the capital city. These were the Emperor realm experts from the three sects that Great Qin had recently subdued. Each sect had sent two Emperor realm experts to obey Great Qin's command as per the agreement.
When Li Xiaotian had discovered the people from the Desolate Hall, he had already sent someone to notify them, and they had arrived just in time.
Nineteen against eight, Great Qin held a clear advantage!
"Damn it!" Huang Tang's expression turned ugly upon seeing this. He blocked Li Xiaotian's attack and retreated rapidly.
Li Xiaotian's refusal to appreciate the opportunity angered him and made him feel somewhat embarrassed. Moreover, the strength displayed by Great Qin at this moment made him slightly wary.
They had not intended to engage in any conflict when they came to the capital, as they were in the wrong.
After all, Great Qin was the legitimate ruler, and the Qin Lord was the true master. They only wanted to use the reputation of the Desolate Hall to intimidate Great Qin.
However, they had not expected Li Xiaotian to completely disregard their influence.
"Li Xiaotian, don't force us. The strength of the Desolate Hall is beyond your imagination. Don't be obstinate!"
Huang Tang shouted, attempting to calm Li Xiaotian down. However, these words only further enraged Li Xiaotian, making his attacks even more ferocious.
"Heh, then let's go to war! I'll also take this opportunity to invite the seniors from the Sword Pavilion and the Dao Sect to see how shameless the Desolate Hall, a fellow ancient overlord-level force, truly is!"
Li Xiaotian sneered. Great Qin's recovery of lost territories was tacitly approved by the Dao Sect and the Sword Pavilion, because those revived forces had originally occupied Great Qin's territory.
Great Qin had a just cause!
Furthermore, this would allow for a thorough rectification of all revived forces within Great Qin, weeding out those sects that appeared human but harbored intentions against humanity.
However, the sudden emergence of the Desolate Hall and their demand for Great Qin to change its name and for the Qin Lord to become a disciple was an attempt to completely destroy Great Qin by undermining its destiny.
