106: Chapter 106 Li Tianci's Conspiracy

Li Tianci walked out of the challenge arena area, his face so gloomy it could drip water.

He did not return to the dormitory but instead turned into a quiet path deep within the campus.

This path led to the most remote back mountain of Modu Martial Arts University, a place rarely visited, with only a few abandoned old warehouses.

He leaned against an old locust tree and pulled out his phone to dial a number.

"I am waiting for you at the old place."

Less than a quarter of an hour later, a thin, tall young man hurried over.

"Young Master Li, you were looking for me?"

The young man respectfully bowed to Li Tianci.

Li Tianci said nothing; he took out a storage ring and a jade talisman from his bosom and threw them directly to him.

The young man suspiciously took the storage ring and jade talisman, swept his consciousness inside, and his pupils shrank instantly.

It was actually filled with various Cultivation resources, worth at least 20 million points.

The jade talisman felt warm to the touch, with faint golden spirit patterns circulating inside, emitting a power that made his heart palpitate.

"Young Master Li, this is?"

"The jade talisman seals an attack of the Peak Martial Emperor level." Li Tianci's voice was flat, yet it made cold sweat seep from the young man's back instantly. "The resources in the storage ring are your reward."

Li Tianci continued word by word: "I want you to challenge Han Ming on the martial sect ranking list, and when the time comes, use the Peak Martial Emperor strike to execute him."

Sun Lei's hand shook violently, and the jade talisman almost fell to the ground.

Kill Han Ming at school?

What kind of joke was this? Was he tired of living?

Even though his Sun Family was attached to the Li Family, you couldn't pit him like this!

Sun Lei felt like crying but had no tears.

"Li, Young Master Li, I..." Sun Lei's forehead beaded with sweat, his voice trembling. "Han Ming is a member of the Han Family and a Disciple of Teacher Xue Muhan. If I kill him, the Han Family will not let me go, and the school will not let me go either. By then, let alone me, even our Sun Family will..."

"You fear the Han Family, but you don't fear our Li Family?" Li Tianci interrupted him, his eyes cold.

Sun Lei's throat tightened, and the rest of his words were stuck in his throat.

"Kill Han Ming, and the Li Family will ensure the safety of your Sun Family. As for you... if you can escape from Modu Martial Arts University, I will arrange for someone to send you away from Modu. Of course, you can choose not to do it, but you probably don't want to know the consequences."

Li Tianci stared at Sun Lei and said every word clearly.

Sun Lei lowered his head, his face alternating between red and white. His hand gripping the jade talisman had white knuckles, and his body was trembling slightly.

To agree was death; not to agree was also death.

But he had no choice. If he agreed, there was still a glimmer of hope; if he didn't, he and the Sun Family would surely die.

He knew better than anyone how vast the Li Family's influence in Modu was. The Sun Family was just a small Family attached to the Li Family, and the life and death of the entire clan were held in the hands of the Li Family.

"I agree." Sun Lei's voice was hoarse, his eyes filled with despair.

A cruel arc curled the corner of Li Tianci's mouth: "Within three days, I want to see the result. If you cannot do it, you know the consequences."

Having said that, he turned and left, not looking at the stunned Sun Lei again.

Sun Lei stood where he was, clutching the jade talisman, motionless for a long time. Three days... he only had three days.

Modu Martial Arts University, villa area.

Han Ming sat cross-legged in the Cultivation room, the Ten Thousand Dao Scripture slowly circulating.

His 9-Star Martial General Realm was steadily improving. With such abundant resources, he believed it wouldn't be long before he could Breakthrough to the Martial Marquis Realm and become a powerhouse capable of suppressing a small base city.

Just then, his nameplate vibrated, and a challenge message popped up.

Han Ming picked it up and glanced at it, raising his eyebrows slightly.

Sun Lei, 9-Star Martial Ancestor Peak, 18th on the martial sect ranking list, actually challenged him?

"Interesting."

Han Ming's mouth turned up slightly.

He hadn't challenged anyone, yet now someone was challenging him?

"Whoa, look, someone is challenging Han Ming, who is 15th on the martial sect ranking list."

Following Sun Lei's challenge, students paying attention to the list's movements learned the news.

"What? Let me see, it's actually Sun Lei. Isn't he from the Modu Sun Family? It is said that he Cultivates Earth Rank High Grade Martial Skills and has comprehended the rudiments of True Intent, so his combat power is not weaker than the average Martial General."

"Yeah! The Sun Family is a vassal force of the Li Family. This is going to be a good show."

Many people who knew the situation started discussing it.

"Who do you think will win?"

Someone asked curiously.

"Does that even need to be asked? It must be Han Ming! He is someone who has comprehended more than one True Intent. Although Sun Lei is strong, he cannot be Han Ming's opponent."

"That's not necessarily true. Sun Lei is a 9-Star Martial Ancestor Peak, two small Realms higher than Han Ming!"

Someone else came out to refute.

Han Ming didn't know how everyone was discussing it. He glanced at the challenge prompt on his nameplate and clicked to decline the challenge directly.

With a "hum," the moment he declined the challenge, his nameplate vibrated, and his ranking on the martial sect ranking list dropped from 15th to 18th.

And Sun Lei's ranking jumped directly to 15th.

However, Han Ming didn't care at all. What martial sect ranking list?

Just empty fame!

If he wanted to, he could easily take the first place on the Martial Marquis list.

"What? Han Ming actually declined the challenge directly? Could it be that he has no confidence in winning against Sun Lei?"

At the same time that Han Ming declined the challenge, those students watching the ranking list also received the news and discussed it in surprise.

Han Ming was the number one on the student list and a member of the Han Family. Ranking in the top twenty of the martial sect ranking list as a 7-Star Martial Ancestor, his popularity was naturally high.

"Phew..."

On the other side, seeing that Han Ming did not accept his challenge, Sun Lei breathed a long sigh of relief and slumped to the ground.

The lives of himself and his Sun Family members could finally be saved.

Yes, the lives of the Sun Family members.

He knew that if he dared to kill Han Ming in the challenge match, their Sun Family would surely die, but he had no choice!

Although Li Tianci spoke nicely about protecting their Sun Family's safety, he knew that his Sun Family was just a pawn of the Li Family.

If Han Ming died, the Han Family would definitely not let it go. By then, the Li Family would be unable to protect itself, let alone protect the Sun Family?

"Young Master Li, I'm sorry! Han Ming did not accept my challenge..."

After calming down for a while, Sun Lei took out his phone and called Li Tianci.

"I know. Bring the things back to me."

Li Tianci's voice was very calm; one could not tell if he was happy or angry.

"Yes."

Hearing this, Sun Lei finally breathed a sigh of relief and responded respectfully.

"Damn it, trash, all trash."

On the other side, Li Tianci hung up the phone and smashed it onto the floor, cursing with an ugly expression.

The phone smashed into pieces on the ground. His chest heaved continuously, clearly furious to the extreme.

But he also knew that he couldn't blame Sun Lei. Who could have expected that Han Ming would ignore his reputation and not care about his ranking, directly refusing the challenge?

"Damn it, I don't believe you will never accept a challenge."

Li Tianci shattered the coffee table in front of him with a palm, his face gloomily terrifying.
