These words caused an uproar in the hall.
"Impossible! We, the Tang Domain, will never relinquish command!"
"We can't entrust our lives to outsiders!"
"Isn't Young Master Kun's suggestion a bit too domineering!"
"..."
Looking at the indignant crowd, Liu Likun's lips curled into a sneer.
"You think the conditions are too harsh? Heh... Your Tang Domain only has one True Immortal and less than a hundred Great Emperors."
But your opponents, the Demon Subduing Star Domain, have ten True Immortals and hundreds of Great Emperors, and their military strength is countless.
"In the face of absolute power, what dignity do you have worth?!"
Liu Likun's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone's heads, instantly calming them down.
What Liu Likun said was true. Tang Yu was far weaker than the Demon Subduing Star Domain in terms of both high-end combat power and the cultivator legions used for combat.
Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Liu Likun sneered:
"Hehe... The weak should have the awareness of the weak. Right now, the only one who can support Tang Domain is my Liuli Universe."
Otherwise, your Tang Domain will be conquered by the Demon Subduing Star Domain, and their iron cavalry will trample your worthless dignity to pieces.
Do you still feel wronged to entrust your life to me?
The crowd remained silent, filled with humiliation. At that moment, they thought of Ling Yun.
Throughout the entire process, Lingyun encouraged them to have an unwavering belief in victory and taught them how to do it.
But Liuli Kun only engaged in belittling and trampling.
But what Liuli Kun said was true: Tang Yu was weak, and being weak meant having to ask others for help and relinquish command.
At this moment, the Eighth Elder told Nangong Chen about the suspension of construction on the Starry Sky Great Wall.
Upon hearing this, Nangong Chen, who had just managed to suppress his anger, completely lost control of his rage.
Just as he was about to speak, Liu Likun looked at him and smiled:
“Nangong Chen, it’s not impossible for you to retain command of the Tang Domain. I heard that Ling Yun obtained the Thunder Pool. Have him send the Thunder Pool to my father for some time to study.”
I can guarantee that the military deployment will be no less than 200 billion!
This is Liuli Kun's true goal: to obtain Lei Zechi.
Nangong Chen immediately refused:
"Lei Zechi is Lord Lingyun's treasure, and my Tang Domain has no right to make decisions about it."
After speaking, Nangong Chen stood up and gestured for him to proceed.
"Thank you for the Liuli family's willingness to help, but your status is too great for our small Tang Domain to afford."
Please, Young Master Kun, leave!
Upon hearing this, Liu Likun's expression turned cold, feeling that he had been offended.
"Nangong Chen, do you know the consequences!"
Nangong Chen retorted:
"Lord Lingyun said that asking for help is just icing on the cake, to save lives, but it's not necessary."
Though our Tang territory is weak, it is unyielding; though dignity may be worthless, we possess it.
In the future, we will defeat the Demon-Subduing Starfield with our own abilities.
You, Liuli Kun, immediately demanded the halt of the Starry Sky Great Wall project, the renaming of the Starry Sky Academy, and control of the command.
We can tolerate these things, since we need their help, but you're asking us to hand over Lord Lingyun's treasure.
This is intolerable. You can leave now! Don't bother seeing me out!
“You…” Liu Likun pointed angrily at Nangong Chen, not expecting Nangong Chen to be so tough.
He came with a mission: the higher-ups of the Liuli family had to see Lei Zechi and instruct him to cultivate good relations with Tang Yu and Ling Yun.
But the arrogant Liuli Kun felt that Tang Yu could be manipulated at will because he needed something from him, and as for Ling Yun, he had never even heard of him and didn't take him seriously at all.
If I were to slink back, I would surely be punished by the higher-ups.
This time, Liu Likun wanted to use his military achievements to gain the respect of the family's higher-ups, since his arrogance and domineering attitude had caused many of them to complain.
After some thought, Liuli Kun said:
"Your behavior has angered me greatly. Now I'm giving you a chance to atone for your sins. Let Ling Yun come and see me!"
If his attitude is good, then sending troops will be a done deal!
Upon hearing this, everyone showed disdain. What level was Liu Likun that he would allow Ling Yun to meet him?
Nangong Chen immediately refused:
"That's impossible! Lord Lingyun is a great benefactor of our Tang Region. We would never allow Lord Lingyun to condescend to see you!"
"Insolence!" Liu Likun roared.
"What does it mean to condescend to one's station..."
Nangong Chen didn't want to argue with him and interrupted him directly:
"Please leave, Young Master Kun. As compensation, my Tang Domain will give you a treasure!"
Liu Likun clenched his fists, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes, but he couldn't leave like this. He then slightly loosened his grip, his tone still arrogant:
"Alright, I'll go see Ling Yun. Where is he?"
Nangong Chen was determined not to have anything to do with the Liuli family and was about to refuse when a powerful figure from the Tang Domain advised him to calm down, since having reinforcements would save many lives on the Tang Domain's side.
Furthermore, what if we offend the Liuli family to death? Wouldn't that just create another enemy?
What if Lingyun doesn't care and is willing to share Lei Zechi?
"Lord Nangong, please let him go see Lord Lingyun!"
After a moment's thought, Nangong Chen nodded slightly and said:
"Lord Lingyun is currently in Firewind City. I'll take you to see him!"
"Hmph!" Liu Likun snorted coldly, walked out of the hall and got into the carriage.
He poked his head out and said impatiently:
"Lead the way!"
"I hope Lord Lingyun will give this guy a good beating; he's far too arrogant!"
"Exactly! I've never seen anyone so arrogant in my life!"
"We've met today, so I'd like to see if Liuli Kun dares to be so arrogant in front of Lord Lingyun!"
"..."
The group glared at the carriage before flying towards Firewind City.
Lingyun and his group had just entered the city and were asking passersby which restaurant had the best braised rabbit meat.
After making some inquiries, I found out that there was a restaurant with the best reputation in the city center square.
Immediately, Ling Yun and his group arrived at the city center square and were just about to enter the store.
Suddenly, nine dragon roars resounded.
The people of Zhenlong Firewind City were all shocked to see this.
As the chariot landed, nine true dragons roared at the onlookers, telling them to get out of the way.
"Who is this person making such a grand entrance!"
Qiongqi laughed, his eyes fixed on the nine true dragons with a burning gaze.
"Brother Qiongqi, you wouldn't want to eat dragon meat, would you?"
Golden Lion joked.
At this moment, Nangong Chen landed with a group of powerful figures.
At the same time, Liuli Kun also got off the carriage.
Nangong Chen walked up to Ling Yun:
"Greetings, Lord Lingyun..."
He told him everything that had happened.
"What! They want to halt construction of the Starry Sky Great Wall, take command of the Tang Domain, and even want Lei Zechi!"
Everyone was furious after hearing this.
Liu Likun walked over under the protection of nine true dragons, still looking arrogant.
"Which one of Nangong Chen is Ling Yun?"
"You're Liuli Kun?" Abao asked angrily.
Liu Likun felt that A Bao was not high-class enough, so he ignored him.
Nangong Chen said:
"This is Lord Lingyun."
Liu Likun looked at Ling Yun, sizing him up but didn't find anything unusual. However, he felt that Qiongqi, the Great Sage, and the Golden Lion beside him were quite terrifying.
Before he could speak, Ling Yun looked at A Bao and Shangguan Hong.
Without saying a word, the two rushed over.
