201: Destroy them

"It's so cold out, everyone should head back early. It's getting late."

Although Li Haotian's voice was not loud, it reached everyone present. Everyone fell silent, standing quietly in place, feeling somewhat at a loss.

The reason they didn't dare to rush into this residence just now was precisely because it was large and imposing enough; one look made it clear it was the residence of some general.

The generals residing there all came from the Ten Great Powers, and they couldn't afford to offend any of them. Gathering to cause trouble was already serious enough, let alone forcefully breaking into the residence.

That crime alone was enough to cost them their heads, so naturally, they dared not do so. That was why they were only gathering at the entrance to cause trouble earlier, and no one was rushing inside.

The moment he pushed the door open and stepped out, almost everyone recognized Li Haotian's identity; he was the Powerhouse who had held off the alien race on the city walls.

The opponent's strength was very formidable, and his methods were extremely powerful and exceptionally cruel.

Basically, any alien race that crossed him, even those at the Quasi-Emperor level, would suffer some losses before leaving, and those below the Quasi-Emperor level were directly killed in one move.

Everyone recognized that figure standing in the sky, radiating golden light; it was an existence that even Great Emperor-level enemies dared not attack.

Although it was out of fear of the city's defenses, it was still shocking enough.

Others had done this before, but without exception, they all died miserably, either assassinated by the alien race or killed by various strange means.

With Li Haotian's presence, the morale of the crowd in almost every battle was extremely high.

His existence was like a reassurance for all the soldiers in the city; regardless of who they were disrespectful to, they would never be disrespectful to him.

Everyone retreated one after another, with awkward expressions on their faces.

"Chief Li, we are not looking for you; we are looking for that Alchemist."

One person gritted their teeth, unwilling to bear such a huge loss, and still spoke up.

"Do you have business with my Disciple?"

Li Haotian's gaze looked very calm, without any ripples, and his tone was also plain, as if he were stating something ordinary, but it sounded completely different in everyone's ears.

This sentence was like making people fall into an ice cellar; a sense of coldness spread throughout their bodies.

"As far as I know, you all volunteered to be his guinea pigs, to be his test subjects, right?"

"He also gave you the right to priority supply or the right to purchase his Medicinal Pill at an extremely low price."

"The two of you are clearly in a transactional relationship; you are responsible for helping him test, and he is responsible for selling you the Medicinal Pill. This is very fair. It is normal for this kind of Medicinal Pill to have unknown effects and for various problems to arise. This is a risk you should bear, after all, you can obtain those benefits after testing the Medicinal Pill."

"Reasonably and logically, you shouldn't have come here to cause trouble today. Retreat; go tell him about your situation at the market tomorrow, and he will still give you the discount or provide you with the Medicinal Pill in advance as previously agreed."

Li Haotian's tone was calm. After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent. Those who originally wanted to cause trouble also stopped making noise; they were indeed after those Medicinal Pill.

Today, they just wanted an explanation to see if they could get more benefits, but after being interrupted like this, plus the other party's stern words, they all suspected that if they dared to continue causing trouble, they probably wouldn't even get the previously agreed-upon benefits and would only suffer in vain.

Everyone looked at each other, began to retreat slowly, and then helplessly dispersed, returning to their respective positions.

Li Haotian nodded with satisfaction. Just as he was about to close the door, he saw a group of people walking towards him; this group of people was dressed in very uniform Daoist Robe.

People from the Emerald Bird Pavilion.

Li Haotian's expression became somewhat cold, but he still revealed a smile.

"Do you, from the Emerald Bird Pavilion, have any business outside my residence?"

The few Elder leading them immediately showed angry expressions on their faces.

"Our Young Sect Master and those Elder went out to search for resources with you. Why did only you return? Where are they?"

The others also glared angrily; they had no idea that their own Young Sect Master had already joined forces with the alien race.

"Didn't we have the Elder of the Chiyuan Sect write down the sequence of events clearly and hand it over to you?"

Li Haotian raised an eyebrow. He had already recounted the entire sequence of events of this incident to the other party and handed it to the people of the Emerald Bird Pavilion in the form of a letter.

"Hmph, the letter states that a stronger expert from outside the territory took action. Do you really think we would believe that?"

An old man slowly walked out from the crowd, wearing a bright green Daoist Robe.

This person looked kind-hearted, leaning on a cane, appearing to have difficulty moving, but the aura emanating from his body was that of a Great Emperor.

Li Haotian's expression also gradually turned cold, and a bit of indifference appeared on his face.

"What is written in the letter is the truth. You people from the Emerald Bird Pavilion are good at speed; why not go to the place where we fought and take a look? It should still be a void there; the speed of space recovery is not that fast."

After Li Haotian finished speaking, he wanted to close the door, but a second before the door closed, a cane reached in through the door gap.

"Is there anything else? Was I not clear enough?"

Li Haotian opened the door and stared at the Emerald Bird Pavilion Elder who was glaring at him.

"The method to verify the truth is very simple. The letter says you used a special secret technique to raise your strength to the Great Emperor level. If you can take one hit from me without dying, it will naturally prove everything."

The old man's tone carried a hint of viciousness. As a Great Emperor and a Peak Great Emperor Realm Expert, even if an Early Stage Great Emperor Realm expert came, it probably wouldn't be easy to take this move of his without injury.

"Hehe, sure. Since you don't believe what we said, you can test it. I allow you to test. You can attack me, but if I take it, it proves that I am not lying, and that you are groundlessly suspicious and even attacked me."

"This is very against the rules. After all, I am clearly the one who suffered in this matter. I don't intend to ask for any of your resources either. If I can take it, the two of us will have a fight, and no one around is allowed to intervene. Do you dare?"

Li Haotian's gaze was icy; it was clear that he had already developed the intention to kill.

The Emerald Bird Pavilion's actions were so strange and bizarre, and the Young Sect Master had even joined forces with the alien race to try to kill him. It was hard not to suspect that their Sect had already allied with the alien race.

Leaving such a scourge among the Human Race would sooner or later lead to an outbreak. It would be better to Incarnate as a Peak Great Emperor Realm Expert and just wipe them all out at once.
