Zhang Yang and others turned ashen and stared at Li Xiaotian with fear after hearing his words.
If he didn't even spare Li Chaoyue, what were they?
"Sir, we admit our guilt! We are willing to pay any price for atonement!" Zhang Yang spoke, his heart filled with indignation.
The others also begged for mercy, not wanting to end up like Li Chaoyue. What good was a noble status if their legs could be broken just the same?
Li Xiaotian looked at them coldly and then spoke indifferently.
"Your lives are spared, but since you interfered, you cannot escape punishment. Since you enjoy meddling in others' affairs so much, lose an arm!"
With that, Li Xiaotian made a swift move, followed by the screams of Zhang Yang and the others.
"No!!" Zhang Yang roared, but one of his arms was instantly broken by Li Xiaotian. His face was pale, filled with both fear and anger. They were merely bystanders, yet this person had crippled one of their arms. He felt immense unwillingness.
The others roared, but their hearts were filled with hatred and rage. In their eyes, admitting guilt and apologizing should have been enough, but they never expected him to push his luck and cripple one of their arms.
"You can try to seek revenge on me, but next time, you won't be so lucky," Li Xiaotian said indifferently and then left the private room.
Only after Li Xiaotian left did the screams and roars in the private room erupt without restraint.
"I will kill him! My Zhang family will never let him go!" Zhang Yang roared, vowing revenge.
"Zhao Wuneng, who is this person? Give me all his information. I want revenge!!"
Zhao Wuneng's face was pale, his heart filled with hatred. Li Xiaotian had also crippled one of his arms.
"What are you all shouting for, you good-for-nothings? Hurry up and call people, find a doctor! If anything happens to me, you will all die!" Li Chaoyue roared, his face flushed. He was the most severely injured.
Suddenly, Zhang Yang and the others were filled with lingering fear and anxiety. With Li Chaoyue crippled, the Li family would surely be enraged, and they might even be implicated.
Instantly, Zhang Yang and the others, enduring the pain, rushed Li Chaoyue to the hospital.
That night, all the prominent families in the capital were shocked, and Li Xiaotian's name became known to everyone.
During the day, he had forced his way into the Zhao family, making them unable to lift their heads and turning them into a laughingstock of the entire capital.
In the evening, he crippled Li Chaoyue and simultaneously declared his intent to exterminate the Li family in ten days.
Such actions caused the old fogeys of all the prominent families to awaken in the middle of the night. It had been many years since anyone had acted so outrageously in the capital.
Even the currently rising War God, Long Batian, had never been so unrestrained in his actions.
Instantly, the Li family was enraged and mobilized all their forces in the capital to search for Li Xiaotian.
The families behind Zhang Yang and the others also sent people to search for Li Xiaotian. After all, Li Xiaotian had not only crippled Li Chaoyue but also broken the arms of Zhang Yang and the others.
This was equivalent to provoking multiple prominent families simultaneously, and with mortal enmity!
"No matter who he is, he must die! Anyone who offends our Li family will surely die!" the Li family declared that night, their resolve to kill Li Xiaotian unwavering.
"My Zhang family will not let him off either. Not only him, but his family and friends will also face punishment alongside him!" the Zhang family stated.
"Our Zhao family is irreconcilable with Li Xiaotian and has simultaneously severed all blood ties with his wife, Ye Qingmei." the Zhao family announced.
That night, the Li, Zhang, and other families gathered a large number of people to search for Li Xiaotian, but no matter what methods they used, they found no trace.
It was as if Li Xiaotian had vanished into thin air, leaving the Li and other major families like headless flies.
This was truly astonishing. After all, the Li, Zhang, and Zhao families were the local powers in the capital, intimately familiar with it. If they wanted to find someone, it would be as easy as turning over their hand.
Yet now, with all of them joining forces, they couldn't even find a shadow of Li Xiaotian.
Suddenly, the major prominent families in the capital were filled with wonder. It seemed Li Xiaotian's identity was not simple!
In the Capital War Department's First Command Center, Li Shanhai listened to his subordinate's report on the capital's events with a cold smile, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
If the Li family could find Li Xiaotian under the meticulous manipulation of his war department, wouldn't his department become a laughingstock?
In fact, Li Shanhai also understood that if Li Xiaotian wished to remain undetected, his war department wouldn't even need to act; he would be impossible to find in the capital.
However, Li Shanhai did this for one purpose: to express his department's goodwill towards Li Xiaotian.
As for the Li family and the other families, Li Shanhai simply ignored them. Those who offended the Dragon King of the Dragon King Hall were destined for clan extermination sooner or later.
Somewhere in the capital, a seemingly ordinary four-star hotel stood, but outside it, guards patrolled ceaselessly.
Dragon Palace. In the entire capital, only a handful of families knew of this hotel, and it was membership-based. Without membership, one was not qualified to stay, regardless of their immense wealth.
This was the Dragon King Hall's stronghold in the Great Qin capital. Of course, Li Shanhai knew about it, as did a few important figures in the Great Qin's high command.
However, they could only turn a blind eye and tacitly accept the existence of the Dragon Palace.
Recently, the Dragon Palace had refused all membership check-ins, serving only one person: Li Xiaotian.
In a hotel room, the Tian couple looked at Li Xiaotian before them, their faces a mixture of joy and trepidation.
Just moments ago, Li Xiaotian had entered the room and revealed his true identity to the Tian couple.
The Tian couple's reaction was shock, followed by immense joy and gratitude.
"You shouldn't have returned, and you especially shouldn't have stood up for us tonight. The Li family is a top-tier aristocratic family in Great Qin. Once they discover your true identity, they will stop at nothing to deal with you."
Tian Fu said with reddened eyes, his heart filled with happiness at the reunion with Li Xiaotian, but also with worry that Li Xiaotian's return would be discovered by the Li family, leading to retaliation.
"Uncle Fu, I've endured for ten years. I've returned this time for revenge. It's time for the Li family to repay what they owe me."
Li Xiaotian said, looking at the Tian couple, who had aged considerably, his face filled with guilt and self-reproach.
"Thank you for saving me back then. I returned too late!"
"Alas, Xiaotian, your father and I grew up together, closer than blood brothers. Moreover, my son, Tian Meng, was diagnosed with a terminal illness and didn't have long to live. That's why your wife and I discussed letting him take your place in death."
"You don't need to blame yourself for this. Even without that, Tian Meng would have… Alas!"
Tian Fu spoke, understanding the knot in Li Xiaotian's heart, and explained.
