Wang Hao didn't speak immediately.

After all, to put it bluntly, in terms of strength, he is only a Martial Emperor.

Although Wang Hao believed that he was not necessarily weaker than those martial masters in a real fight, thanks to what he had learned from the sweeping monk, the difference in their cultivation levels was still real.

Even Wang Hao cannot change this.

For Wang Hao, given the uncertainty of how many powerful figures would appear today, it was best to keep a low profile.

With this thought in mind, Wang Hao remained silent.

At that moment, seeing the woman approaching, a strange light flashed in Li Si's eyes.

"Tao Hong, what's wrong? You, a woman, also want to compete with me for the position of leader of the martial arts alliance?"

"Our martial arts alliance has never had a woman as its leader before!"

The middle-aged woman named Tao Hong sneered, looked at Li Si, and a mocking smile appeared on her lips. "The Martial Alliance has never had a woman as its leader because the Martial Alliance has only had three leaders in total!"

What does this tell us?

"Does that mean that just because you, Li Si, have three daughters, you'll never be able to have a son in your entire life?"

"you!"

Li Si's expression changed.

Clearly, he hadn't expected Tao Hong to be so quick-witted.

But Tao Hong hadn't finished speaking yet.

She looked at Li Si with an arrogant expression and said, "The leader of the martial arts alliance shall be the one who is capable!"

In terms of strength, I, Tao Hong, believe I am superior to you, Li Si!

What, if you're not happy, then let's have a fight!

Are you just here to have a good talk?

Li Si, aren't you ashamed?

As she spoke, Tao Hong's face was full of contempt and disdain.

Clearly, she didn't take Li Si seriously at all.

Although both were at the Martial Grandmaster level, Tao Hong believed her strength far surpassed Li Si's.

Under such circumstances, she naturally dared to say that!

Upon hearing this, Li Si's expression became somewhat complicated.

He knew, of course, that he was no match for Tao Hong in terms of strength.

But Li Si knew even better that he also had his own advantages!

Although he was not as strong as Tao Hong, Li Si's prestige in the entire martial arts alliance was unmatched by Tao Hong!

Looking at Tao Hong, Li Si quickly calmed down and sneered, "Tao Hong, you don't need to say such things."

I admit you do have some skill, but you're far from invincible!

In terms of strength, we are both Martial Grandmasters, and there is no fundamental difference between us!

However, our reputation and status within the Martial Arts Alliance are worlds apart!

You, Tao Hong, are nothing but a monster who has killed countless people!

Countless people in my martial arts alliance want to kill you!

You want to be the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance?

Even today, the martial arts alliance is on the verge of internal strife!

Li Si's words were reasonable and well-founded, and many people nodded in agreement.

Tao Hong may be powerful, but she is definitely not a good person.

Over the years, countless powerful figures within the martial arts alliance have died at Tao Hong's hands!

In many cases, Tao Hong killed them simply because she wanted to have a life-or-death spar!

She wanted to hone her strength through repeated bloody killings!

However, she never asked these people if they were willing!

Under such circumstances, the martial arts alliance has suffered for a long time!

Now Tao Hong says she wants to be the leader of the martial arts alliance?

We should ask those who died at her hands whether they agree with this!

But upon hearing this, Tao Hong simply sneered dismissively.

"I admit that some people will oppose my becoming the leader of the martial arts alliance."

But no matter what, it's still better than you, Li Si!

You, Li Si, as a member of the martial arts alliance, are secretly colluding with Xiao Wenyong, a member of the imperial court!

Be the court's lackey, be the court's henchman!

If someone like you were to rise to power, I'm afraid half of them would turn against you!

Even if I, Tao Hong, am not as good as you, Li Si, I am still much better!

What right do you have to judge me?

As she spoke, Tao Hong's face was full of arrogance.

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in the depths of Li Si's eyes!

He hadn't really considered Tao Hong a competitor, but who would have thought that this woman was so eloquent.

If we continue to hand over the power of speech to this woman, she will likely be in charge of the entire martial arts alliance from now on!

Thinking of this, Li Si snorted coldly and interrupted Tao Hong.

"Tao Hong, stop talking nonsense!"

When did I, Li Si, ever say that I would lead the Martial Arts Alliance to join Xiao Wenyong?

Moreover, although Xiao Wenyong is a member of the imperial court, he is an enemy, not a friend, of the current emperor, Xiao Rujun!

If we cooperate with Xiao Wenyong, in the future... who will rule the Dragon Kingdom is uncertain!

"Do you still see that as surrendering to the imperial court?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present immediately began to breathe rapidly.

Many people showed excitement on their faces.

As Li Si said, if they could join Xiao Wenyong in overthrowing Xiao Rujun's rule, then who would be in charge of the Dragon Kingdom?

It might not be Xiao Wenyong!

It's very likely their martial arts alliance!

Although these people usually appear to be very low-key, they don't care about power and only want to live a carefree life in the martial arts world.

But in reality, how many people can truly achieve such a state of purity and detachment from worldly desires?

Li Si's words have truly struck a chord with them!

Seeing everyone's reaction, Tao Hong couldn't help but narrow her eyes.

She knew very well that this reaction from everyone was not a good thing for her!

Thinking of this, Tao Hong's voice instantly turned cold.

"Li Si, you don't need to say these useless things here!"
