Chapter 1275: Bloodshark Sovereign

Hong Tianzhu was unperturbed while standing behind Li Qiye. He flatly replied: “Miss Shangguan, Young Noble Li is our lake’s plenipotentiary. If you wish to talk, you can talk with him.”

“A plenipotentiary?” Not only were the spectators surprised, even the guarding disciples of the lake were caught off guard.

Such a large lineage like the lake actually gave complete authority to someone this suddenly. Moreover, it was under duress. How could people not be shocked by this development?

The disciples from the lake didn’t even know who Li Qiye was, let alone understand him.

Feiyan’s expression changed after hearing this as well. She didn’t expect this reversal.

She coldly uttered: “Tianzhu, you have to think twice. This is an existential crisis for your Dongting Lake!”

Li Qiye smiled in response before Tianzhu could answer: “There’s no need to waste time. Didn’t you want to talk? Go ahead, I am a very open-minded person. Say what you want.”

Judging from the lack of response from Tianzhu and the other elders, Feiyan knew that the lake was on Li Qiye’s side.

In spite of this, she still thought that she had a strong card up her sleeve, so she was full of confidence: “Li Qiye, if you want to save the lake, first kneel and confess your sins, I will be the judge. Second, the lake must hand over fifty female disciples with excellent bloodlines to become our incubators. Third, Wyvern and the Bloodshark Village will station troops at the lake. Only when these three conditions are satisfied will we withdraw our troops.”

A disciple blurted out: “Bullshit!” No one with a sliver of pride would ever accept such conditions.

This was a great humiliation to their lake. If they were to agree to these demands, they would never be able to lift their heads up again. This was an indelible shame.

The cultivators nearby secretly shook their heads. These conditions were too outrageous. No lineage would agree to them.

“And if we refuse?” Li Qiye didn’t become angry. Instead, he gently smiled.

Feiyan’s eyes turned serious, just like her tone: “If you refuse, well, it won’t be up to you. We’ll capture you and flay your skin before ripping out your tendons! As for the lake, we will trample it, kill all the men, and enslave the women!”

This remark definitely didn’t win over the disciples from the lake. They became even more furious.

A disciple angrily shouted: “We’ll fight to the end!”

“Yes! Fight to the end!” Many echoed the sentiment with blaring roars towards Feiyan.

Li Qiye remained calm and faintly smiled: “Do you want to hear my opinion? It is very simple, you will be the one to kneel and present your head as an apology. Second, all the disciples from Wyvern and the Bloodshark Village must surrender to my whim. If you can agree to this, then I will only kill your ancestors and elders while sparing the others. If not, then it will be even simpler. I shall massacre Wyvern and the village and trample through your ancestral grounds, turning everything to ashes. Your lineages shall be no more in the Dragon Demon Sea from tomorrow onward.”

Such outrageous words shocked everyone present. One person among the spectators commented: “That’s an incredible response.”

Everyone knew that Li Qiye was strong after the death of Gongsun Meiyu, but it was a bit ridiculous to declare the destruction of two great powers.

“Senior Sister, give the order, let us kill this little animal!” The disciples from wyvern were enraged and primed to fight.

Feiyan’s expression was as cold as ice as she replied: “You’ll defeat us with just your empty words?”

“Why not?” Li Qiye dismissively said: “A loser like you isn’t qualified to negotiate with me.”

This repetitive retort left her face red. It was too great of a blow to her; the only way she could erase this disgrace was to kill him.
