Chapter 167: Chapter 166 Sorry, I am Threatening

"Ye Xuan, don’t go too far!"

The two vice principals of Lie Tian Academy shouted angrily, flames of rage shooting from their eyes as they wished they could crush Ye Xuan on the spot!

However, with Qiu Wenhan and Lu Chengde watching them, they didn’t dare to act rashly, especially with the students of Lie Tian Academy behind them.

"Too far?" Ye Xuan said indifferently, "I’m curious, what would have happened today if I hadn’t anticipated your ambush?"

At these words, the anger of the two vice principals subsided, but their gazes remained cold.

Ye Xuan glanced at them and said lightly, "I’m afraid by then, you would have already killed all of us, then forcibly taken the Great Emperor Immortal Skill and our Sect’s cultivation resources, and even destroyed our Sect entirely."

"So don’t pretend to be innocent in front of me now, or it would be embarrassing if I accidentally stepped on your principal and killed him."

That remark absolutely shut the two vice principals up.

This Ye Xuan, clearly still a youngster, was acting like an old demon!

Such blatant threats, spoken so smoothly.

Even Zhou Chaolong couldn’t help but glance sideways.

Worthy of being the person chosen by the grandmaster, truly possessing the demeanor of a great general.

Hua Tianqiong’s expression kept changing.

Although he had anticipated that Ye Xuan would make a big demand, he had not expected him to be so uncompromising.

Just the Demon Beast Skin and the fragments of the Imperial Extreme Emperor Dao Scroll had already meant a significant loss for the Lie Tian Heavenly Country, and now Ye Xuan was asking for even more!

"This matter..."

Hua Tianqiong pondered for a moment.

Ye Xuan rudely interrupted Hua Tianqiong, stating coldly, "Let me remind you, this isn’t a discussion, I’m just informing you."

His words left everyone speechless.

They were facing the old ancestor of the Lie Tian Heavenly Country!

Such an existence, in the entire Southern Domain, was also a formidable being.

However, Ye Xuan faced him without any of that feeling, as if facing an ant...

This sensation made everyone feel very unreal.

It felt like they were dreaming.

Hua Tianqiong’s face turned somewhat unsightly, fury rising in his heart, yet he dared not show it, which made him feel extremely stifled.

"This matter, let me think about it," Hua Tianqiong said.

"Three breaths’ time," Ye Xuan said indifferently.

Hua Tianqiong almost choked—three breaths’ time!?

How could he consider it in such a short time?

"Aren’t you afraid of both the fish dying and the net splitting?" Hua Tianqiong said sternly.

Ye Xuan glanced at Hua Tianqiong, suddenly laughing coldly, "It seems you’re a bit confused about who caused the current situation."

"If Lie Tian Heavenly Country followed the rules, all you needed to do was bring out the required fragments of the Imperial Extreme Emperor Dao Scroll."

"But you didn’t abide by the rules, and even collaborated with other forces, trying to move against us."

"Not killing you all was already the greatest mercy."

"So, stop whining to me."

"Understand?"

With those words, Hua Tianqiong was left speechless.

Yes, all of this was caused by Hong Yunlie himself, and no one else was to blame.

However, Hua Tianqiong was unaware of this, so he felt extremely aggrieved.

To inexplicably cause such a huge loss to Lie Tian Heavenly Country!

Even he was almost left seriously injured.

Thinking about this, Hua Tianqiong felt like a mute who had eaten coptis—bitter, but unable to express it.

It was too miserable.

Hua Tianqiong sighed, saying, "Let’s go by what you say."

There was no other choice but to bow his head.

"Great Ancestor..."

Seeing that Hua Tianqiong had agreed, the side of Lie Tian Academy was completely silent, internally filled with frustration.

This was beyond everything they had expected today.

Especially the students of Lie Tian Academy, who were the most innocent.

They only knew about the exchange meeting, totally unaware of the matters concerning the three great cultivation sacred lands.

Swept inexplicably into this battle, he then watched his own headmaster’s jaw crushed beneath a foot, lying on the ground like a dog.

Even the strongest and invincible elder of Lie Tian Heavenly Country had been thoroughly suppressed, complying with every word of Ye Xuan. This stark contrast made it difficult for them to accept.

Today was undoubtedly a day of disgrace for Lie Tian Heavenly Country!

"Furthermore..."

At the moment when the people from Lie Tian Heavenly Country were disheartened, Ye Xuan’s voice rang out again.

"Another demand?!" This immediately brought back the anger that had started to subside in their hearts.

Hua Tianqiong also looked towards Ye Xuan, a deep murderous intent emerging in his eyes.

This guy is really insatiable!

He had already made three excessive demands, causing heavy losses for Lie Tian Heavenly Country.

And now there was still another demand!?

No wonder not only the people from Lie Tian Heavenly Country but even the disciples from Emperor Immortal Sect were all shocked.

Big brother, isn’t this a bit too much? He’s already made three demands, is he going to make another?

Zhou Zihuang and Zhou Chaolong both looked at Ye Xuan strangely.

Although he was on their side, at this moment, they felt that Ye Xuan’s demands were indeed a bit too much.

But in this world, the victor takes all.

The Emperor Immortal Sect had won the victory, and it was only right for Lie Tian Heavenly Country to yield the appropriate resources.

It’s just like when the Emperor Immortal Sect was suppressed by the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect and had resources continually extracted from them.

It was the same principle.

"The Golden Pond of Lie Tian Heavenly Country still exists, right?" Ye Xuan ignored the murderous intent from Hua Tianqiong and looked towards Zhou Zihuang, smiling as he asked.

Upon hearing this, a spark of shock flashed through Zhou Zihuang’s eyes, and he quickly replied with a smile, "Of course, that is an excellent place for nurturing talents in Lie Tian Heavenly Country."

"Don’t push people too far!" Hua Tianqiong’s aura became somewhat uncontrollable.

The Wansheng Mountain Arena started emitting a rolling rumble.

"What, Brother Hua, are you planning to fight?" Zhou Chaolong commented blandly.

This immediately caused Hua Tianqiong’s breath to choke, and his eyes darken as he said gravely, "If you’re eyeing the Golden Pond, then it’s fish die and the net splits, there will be absolutely no room for negotiation!"

Lie Tian Heavenly Country, like the Emperor Immortal Sect, had fallen to an extreme low. Though it was one of the Upper Countries, its strength was arguably the weakest among them.

And the Golden Pond was one of the lifelines of Lie Tian Heavenly Country. Should it be tampered with, Lie Tian Heavenly Country would undoubtedly be severely weakened.

This was something Hua Tianqiong absolutely couldn’t allow!

Even if it meant a fight to the death, he couldn’t give in.

"Why panic? I haven’t even finished speaking," Ye Xuan said indifferently, casting a glance at Hua Tianqiong.

"Given the current strength of Lie Tian Heavenly Country, the opening of the Golden Pond can’t accommodate too many people."

"I don’t ask for much. When the Golden Pond opens, I will bring thirty people with me."

"Thirty?!" Hua Tianqiong’s face turned extremely ugly as he said gravely, "My Lie Tian Heavenly Country only has a total of one hundred slots, and you want to take thirty just like that!?"

The Golden Pond only opens once every five years, each time with only one hundred slots, which are greatly valued. Even the Emperor cannot distribute them at will but uses them to nurture the talents of their own country and to exchange for cultivation resources with surrounding Upper Countries or Sacred Sects.

Now, Ye Xuan was asking for one-third of the slots, which would cause another enormous loss for Lie Tian Heavenly Country!

"If even this small demand is too much for you, then let me erase Lie Tian Heavenly Country and take control of the Golden Pond for my Emperor Immortal Sect," Ye Xuan said coldly. "Then, presumably, you won’t have any objections."

"You’re outright threatening!" Hua Tianqiong’s face showed extreme displeasure.

"Sorry, I am indeed threatening," Ye Xuan said, his lips tipping up slightly.

From beginning to end, he was threatening Lie Tian Heavenly Country.

But all of it was because Lie Tian Heavenly Country brought this upon themselves.

As for the matter a month ago,

If it weren’t for General Wang Shiqi from Lie Tian searching for his own death, Ye Xuan wouldn’t have started killing in the Imperial City.

Going further back, it was Lie Tian Heavenly Country, who first sought trouble from the Emperor Immortal Sect.

Ultimately, it was all Lie Tian Heavenly Country’s own doing, and they had no one else to blame.

"You!" Hua Tianqiong, hearing Ye Xuan’s words, was immediately furious but helpless.

"Decided yet? My patience is limited," Ye Xuan said lightly.

"Wuu wuu wuu————" Beneath Ye Xuan’s feet, Hong Yunlie made some noise, but since his jaw was crushed, he couldn’t speak. However, from the anguish in his eyes, it was clear that Hong Yunlie absolutely disagreed!

All eyes were now on Hua Tianqiong.

Hua Tianqiong looked dejected, nodding slightly without speaking.

But it was clear he had agreed to Ye Xuan’s demands!
