“Heh, who would have thought that the once arrogant Dragon King Hall would end up so miserable? Li Xiaotian’s fate is unknown, most of his subordinates are dead, and in the end, even his woman and child were snatched away.”
Amidst the crowd of onlookers outside the Dragon Palace Hotel, someone sighed, remarking how quickly everything had changed in just three months.
For ordinary families like them, the impact wasn't significant, merely losing some of their former influence and status.
But upon thinking of the Dragon King Hall, once the world's best, now virtually crippled, they felt a sense of balance.
“To think that Li Xiaotian, who was so arrogant his entire life, would meet such a tragic end. Heh, this is what they call ‘a wicked man will meet a wicked end’.” Someone spoke with a mocking tone.
“Don’t say that. While Li Xiaotian’s actions were wild, he avenged his own grievances and never involved others. In contrast, these awakened individuals, alas!”
Someone sighed, likely having suffered considerable losses during the great changes in the world.
“It’s a pity. In the words of the ancients, Li Xiaotian was also a cultivation genius. If he were still around, with his relationship with our Great Qin, perhaps Great Qin wouldn’t have ended up like this.”
“Hmph! Him? What if he’s even alive? Does he deserve to be compared to those awakened lords? I think any awakened expert could easily crush Li Xiaotian!”
The people present whispered amongst themselves, some sighing, others gloating. Humans are such that when you are pitiful, not everyone will sympathize with you; instead, some will resent you for not being even more pitiful.
At this moment, Tian Qilin arrived at the hotel entrance. Ye Qingmei, dressed in a wedding gown, was escorted out by two senior maids from the Tian family.
“Sister-in-law!” In the main hall, Long Yi and the others’ eyes turned crimson, their jaws clenched tight.
“Silence!” A strong expert from the Tian family reprimanded from beside them, his gaze filled with killing intent.
“Sister-in-law, you can’t marry!” Long Yi spoke up again, unable to bear such humiliation.
“Bang!” The Tian family expert instantly kicked Long Yi away. Long Yi spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
“Do you wish to die?” the Tian family expert said coldly.
Long Shiwu and the others glared with murderous intent, wanting to fight to the death. However, Ye Qingmei glanced back at them, her eyes conveying a deep meaning: Survive!
“Heh, this is my first wedding, of course, I want to make it lively. Now, bring out Li Xiaotian’s few subordinates and have them personally escort you into my bridal sedan chair!”
Tian Qilin said with a cold, playful smile.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingmei’s expression was filled with rage. She knew Long Yi and the others, and Tian Qilin’s actions were tantamount to sending them to their deaths.
“If they don’t do as I say, then they die!”
Tian Qilin added with a chilling tone, then waved his hand towards the distance. A clearing immediately appeared next to the hotel.
A group of martial artists dressed in ancient costumes escorted numerous Dragon King Hall warriors, forcing them to kneel.
“Heh, ninety-nine Dragon King Hall warriors. It signifies that my wedding will last for a long, long time.”
Tian Qilin said with a smile.
“Tian Qilin, what do you want to do?” Ye Qingmei’s heart tightened. She knew the Tian family wouldn’t let the people of the Dragon King Hall off easily.
Long Shiwu and the others also had red eyes, their expressions ferocious. Those kneeling were their subordinates, the fine men of the Dragon King Hall.
“It’s very simple! I dislike a quiet atmosphere. Later, I want Long Yi and the others to kneel and escort you to my bridal sedan chair, and these ninety-nine ants must also shout, ‘Congratulations to Li Xiaotian’s wife and myself on our wedding!’”
Tian Qilin grinned, then his gaze gradually turned cold as he continued.
“If Long Yi and the others refuse, my men will kill these ninety-nine ants. If these ants don’t comply, Long Yi and the others will die! And if you don’t comply, they will all die!”
“You!” Ye Qingmei’s eyes widened in anger.
“Beast!!!” In the main hall, a War God of the Dragon King Hall couldn’t help but curse.
“Bang!” The Tian family expert struck out with his palm, and the person’s body instantly exploded.
“Long Shi!!!” Long Yi and the others cried out, their eyes bloodshot.
“Presumptuous! Do you all wish to die?” Two Tian family experts berated, unleashing powerful auras that made Long Yi and the others’ faces turn red.
Outside the hotel, some Dragon King Hall warriors also roared. They wanted to resist but were immediately killed by those guarding them.
In the blink of an eye, eight of the ninety-nine people were dead.
“Heh, shout whatever you want, or try to resist. In any case, I have plenty of time,”
Tian Qilin said with a smile, his face full of schadenfreude.
“Tian family brat, don’t you think you’re going too far?”
From a distance, the King of Great Qin, Qin Huang, spoke. He frowned, his heart filled with anger. Although Great Qin held no power now, he was, after all, a ruler of a nation. And for some reason, those awakened ancients dared not attack him.
“King Qin, it’s best you just watch the show and don’t act tough, lest you lose face,”
Tian Qilin said without turning his head.
“You!!!” Qin Huang’s eyes flashed with a hint of anger, but in the end, he could only swallow his pride helplessly. At this moment, he could change nothing.
“Heh, what, are you all dead? Why haven’t you moved yet?” Tian Qilin’s gaze turned fierce as he berated Long Yi and the others.
Long Yi and the others were filled with grief and indignation, staring intently at Tian Qilin.
“Hmph! Kill ten more! Let’s see if you’ll obey then!” Tian Qilin snorted coldly and instructed the martial artists guarding the Dragon King Hall warriors.
“Stop!! We will do as you say!” Long Yi and the others were greatly alarmed, their expressions contorted.
But the martial artists ignored them. In an instant, ten more people died.
“What I say goes. Now, you commanders of the Dragon King Hall, escort the bride obediently, and these ants of mine will shout, or else more will be killed!”
Tian Qilin said coldly, his eyes filled with disdain and mockery.
“Long Yi, listen to him and do as he says!” Ye Qingmei struggled to speak, not wanting anyone else to die.
Long Yi and the others looked conflicted. They all stepped forward and knelt on the ground.
“We escort the bride!” Long Yi said in a low voice. They had no choice. If they didn’t obey Tian Qilin, their subordinates would die.
“Hahahaha!” Tian Qilin laughed heartily, a look of glee on his face. He looked at the Dragon King Hall War Gods beside him, his eyes filled with anticipation, saying,
“It’s your turn! Shout properly. If you shout incorrectly, your commander will die.”
The Dragon King Hall warriors all looked at Long Yi and the others, their eyes streaming with bloody tears.
“Shout!”
Tian Qilin urged.
At this moment, the remaining eighty-one Dragon King Hall warriors seemed to have made a pact.
Each of them looked at Long Yi and the others, a smile on their faces.
Then, they all snatched knives from the nearby martial artists.
“Swish!” All eighty-one warriors chose to commit suicide.
They would rather die than betray their principles.
The final smiles seemed to convey to Long Yi and the others: We have no regrets!
