In the Dragon Palace Hotel in the capital, Li Xiaotian was only slightly surprised to hear the news of the Zhao family's annihilation, as the Zhao family had already been marked for death by him.
However, the Zhao family was originally meant to be annihilated by Li Xiaotian himself in the end, but now someone else had done it, and in a very brutal manner.
At the same time, Li Xiaotian scoffed at the rumors circulating outside that he was the one who had annihilated the Zhao family.
It was obvious that someone had wiped out the Zhao family and was using this method to frame him.
Currently, the families in the capital who were at odds with him included the Li family and the Zhang family.
But after last night's War God banquet, with Li Shanhai personally intervening, those who intensely disliked him were likely only from the Li family!
He had said he would destroy the Li family, and now only five days remained. The Li family, having suffered such a great humiliation last night, their desire to kill him had deepened.
But his current identity remained a mystery to the Li family.
Li Xiaotian looked out the window, the corners of his mouth curving slightly. He had already guessed what the Li family intended.
They annihilated the Zhao family, then framed him, and at the same time, stirred up the anger of many noble families in the capital, all in order to force out his true strength, or rather, his true identity!
"Hmph, have they resorted to desperate measures? Just to find out my true identity, they actually risked annihilating the Zhao family!" Li Xiaotian sneered.
One must know that once the truth behind the Zhao family's annihilation was revealed to the public, the prestige that the Li family, a top noble family that had operated in the capital for thousands of years, would become worthless.
The Li family would also become an existence hated by all the noble families in the capital!
Unfortunately, the Li family's action of annihilating the Zhao family was too sudden and too swift. Since they dared to make a move, they had likely erased all traces.
Li Xiaotian could even imagine that within the Zhao family manor, there would surely be evidence proving that he had visited the Zhao family after last night's War God banquet.
"Hmph!" Li Xiaotian sneered. The Li family probably would never have imagined that their actions would have no effect on him.
Because, in this world, no organization or empire dared to indict him, the King of the Dragon King Hall!
Let alone the current evidence all pointing to Li Xiaotian as the one who annihilated the Zhao family, even if Li Xiaotian had truly annihilated the Zhao family, there would likely be no one in the Great Qin Empire who would dare to confront him on this matter.
In fact, just as Li Xiaotian had thought, at the Zhao family manor, the official personnel from the Great Qin Empire who went to investigate found a lot of evidence related to Li Xiaotian.
The Great Qin official in charge of the matter had repeatedly applied to his superiors for a city-wide arrest of Li Xiaotian, and even the Li family had used their connections to push this matter forward with all their might.
However, the higher-ups of the Great Qin Empire remained unresponsive.
At the same time, rumors outside that Li Xiaotian was the perpetrator were increasing, and even the attitude of the Great Qin Empire towards this matter was being spread, causing countless noble families to be enraged.
"Since it has been confirmed that Li Xiaotian is the perpetrator, why haven't they arrested this villain yet? Is it because Li Xiaotian's identity is extraordinary that he can get away with anything?"
"Li Xiaotian is the perpetrator. It's not that they aren't arresting him, but someone is protecting him. Does everyone still remember what happened at last night's War God banquet?"
"Why is Lord Li Shanhai so foolish? It's hateful! Such a decisive and resolute figure, and yet he would protect a murderer like this!"
"Li Xiaotian must die. If the Great Qin Empire still doesn't arrest him, then we will punish the perpetrator in our own way. Can't we, the many noble families of the capital, join forces to deal with one Li Xiaotian?"
Various radical voices kept ringing out. Some impulsive young scions of noble families had even begun to act, mobilizing their forces to search for Li Xiaotian throughout the city.
"Li Xiaotian, my Li family is sworn enemies with you. The capital is not a place where you, an outsider, can do as you please! The Zhao family had already admitted their mistake, why did you still annihilate them? Do you think your identity is extraordinary and therefore you don't regard us, these noble families, in your eyes?"
Li Weihai's words from the Li family's old residence immediately drew the approval of countless families.
"Kill Li Xiaotian, avenge the Zhao family, and bring peace back to the capital!" some noble families cried out, and like a pebble dropped into water, it instantly stirred countless families into action.
"What does it matter if he is a War God? Does a War God have the right to disregard us noble families? Li Xiaotian, you must confess to your cruel actions!"
