Li Xianyu didn’t reply, but changed the topic. “The Great Deities Palace will be open soon. Be it the Demonic Priest or my father, they have only entered the Great Deities Palace once and brought something out from it. These things aren’t important compared to the Great Deities Palace. I’m right, aren’t I?”
The crowd was speechless, and Chen Taiji nodded. “This was what we agreed upon with your Great-Grandma.”
Of course, the most important matter at hand was the Great Deities Palace. The rise of the Demonic Priest and the fall of Li Wuxiang was related to what they had brought out of it.
“All the treasures are in the Great Deities Palace, so why are you so obsessed about the petty profits I have? The treasures in the Great Deities Palace do not belong to anyone, and what my father left to me belongs to the Li family.”
“You guys could enter the Great Deities Palace and search for treasure then if you were capable enough. Since you can’t find the Great Deities Palace, you resort to snatching my father’s belongings. No amount of excuses or reasoning can hide the truth that all of you are bandits.”
“Since ancient times, capable people would be able to keep the treasure. You want to keep something that your father failed to do so?” Shentu Changgong remarked coldly.
“Clan Master Shentu is right, the demon descendants community operates on the law of the jungle. Whoever is more powerful wins. That’s why I said, I’ll let go of the matters of the past. Although I am unable to forgive like Zhang Wuji, I understand this reasoning.”
One day, however, you’ll have to be prepared to be the weak.
“As for you, don’t scare me. You’re all reputable characters who are leaders of a faction. Killing me is as simple as squishing an ant. However, my great-grandmother is no pushover. Be it the Shentu family or the Wang family, you should know your worth. Can you withstand the fury of the Unparalleled War Spirit?” Li Xianyu stood straighter and said in a neutral tone.
“State the facts and don’t put on the airs and authority of a powerful elder in front of me. The fact that y’all invited me privately, shows that you are wary of my great-grandmother. Do you really think I’m a child to be bullied if I didn’t have my great-grandmother?”
Like bullies in a school, they bullied other children when their parents weren’t with them, thinking that they were pushovers.
The formidable characters at the table looked at each other. These were not words that an average young man dared to say. Most of the young people would have trembled in front of them, and a few were able to maintain their calm but no one would dare say such antagonistic words, among this generation of young people — other than that freak from Baoze.
Wang Tiancheng smacked the table with his palm and exclaimed, “How arrogant!”
Li Xianyu replied solemnly, “Clan Master Wang, my last name is Li, not Wang. You don’t have to reprimand me as if I was a younger generation of your family. It doesn’t work on me. How great is your authority, is it greater than my great-grandmother? Is it greater than the Unparalleled War Spirit who is a peak Gokudo?”
“You want the secrets of my body and I can tell you straight. No way! If we burn bridges, the contract signed at Lianghua Temple would be deemed ineffective. Is the Great Deities Palace important, or is what my father left me important, I’m sure everyone here would know.”
Chen Taiji’s eyes narrowed. This boy talked for a long time and mentioned the Unparalleled War Spirit repeatedly. He had mastered negotiation skills and always placed his strongest support in the most visible place.
He kept hinting at them: “I am backed by the Unparalleled War Spirit.”
Indeed, if the Great Deities Palace was not about to open, the major families were likely to take a risk after seeing a double awakening that was inconceivable during the day.
However, the Great Deities Palace was about to open, and the secret of Li Xianyu’s double awakening was second to the treasures in the Great Deities Palace that was unknown but absolutely shocking to the demon descendants community.
In this way, the Great Deities Palace that pushed him into the spotlight, had become his shield.
“Let’s talk about the question just now. Clan Master Chen said that there is a price for anything in the world.” Li Xianyu patted his chest. “I can sell my secret, but I think you can’t afford that money, and money is meaningless.”
The atmosphere lightened immediately.
Everyone’s eyes lit up, and Chen Taiji asked, “How do you intend for this transaction to go?”
Li Xianyu said with a smile, “You remember the third generation of the Li family, the one you imprisoned?”
Everyone was speechless.
Of course, who amongst the major families didn’t know about that ridiculous history? Every time they thought of their ancestors doing something like that, they were also very uncomfortable.
They imprisoned the Li family’s inheritor and sent their young, beautiful and good-looking women to breed him every day, to strive for the generation of outstanding children who will inherit the powers of the Unparalleled War Spirit.
It was the dark history of the major families, and whenever they talked about it, their faces burn out of shame.
Clan Master Zhao laughed awkwardly, saying, “Why did you mention it suddenly? It’s all in the past, let’s not talk about it, not talk about it.”
“No, no, no.” Li Xianyu waved his hands hurriedly. “It’s necessary to talk about it. I’m a modern man, and I’m not so traditional in my thinking. To tell you the truth, I always felt that the third generation inheritor is the winner of life and the chosen one.”
He tapped the table with his fingers and his look of envy on his face is not a lie.
The formidable figures looked at each other with dismay, thinking, What is the boy up to this time, to bring up old feuds and use it against us?
Chen Taiji asked cautiously, “What do you mean?”
“My great-grandmother is most worried about the Li family’s bloodline dying out.” Li Xianyu said helplessly, “I am not very good at socializing, and even worse at socializing with girls, and I have never had a girlfriend.”
“So this is how I want to do it: Your families can send high quality ladies from their families to date me, and remember, you must send high quality ladies. I’m sure you all have heard of the senior staff of Baoze, Thunderbolt Battle Lady. You must send that level of beauty.”
“Whoever amongst them will be the first to give birth to my Li family inheritor, I will hand over the inheritance of the Black Water Spirit Pearl to him, including the secret of this body.”
There was silence in the air. The clan masters looked at each other and were stunned. The proposal was completely unexpected, and they did not have a trace of preparation. For a moment they did not know how to answer it.
“Hmph, how sly. What do you think the ladies of our major families are? Goods?” Wang Tiancheng smiled coldly.
“That’s pretentious, like you all haven’t done it before.” Li Xianyu’s expression was knowing. “The third generation inheritor fought to the death, but now that I came up with this idea, and you’re all being pretentious?”
“Don’t mention what happened back then, it’s all a historical mistake.” Clan Master Zhao slapped his palm on the table.
The clan masters looked awkward.
“You can rest assured that I will take responsibility. The treasures my father brought from the Great Deities Palace are yours, and the Unparalleled War Spirit is yours, and we can share them. That’s the right way for a new-era team to work.”
“As you know, my Li family bloodline has been single for many years, and hopeless at rejuvenation. Thus, I thought about this seriously and felt that what happened then was wrong. If my great-grandmother wasn’t so stubborn, the Li family would have a more powerful family ally, and would have restored its past glory.”
“Not only can you share my father’s treasure with my Li family, you can also form the closest alliance with the Unparalleled War Spirit. Are you losing? It’s not a bad deal at all.” Li Xianyu clapped his hands, “Cooperation is a win-win situation.”
It seems to make sense? Without any reason, this idea flashed through the clan masters’ minds.
Chen Taiji asked, “Well, if you don’t have a baby boy…” After asking, he had the urge to slap himself. He got influenced by the brat.
“Then we’ll break up.” Li Xianyu shrugged. “This is business, I can’t guarantee that everyone can make a huge profit and be responsible for their profits and losses. Those who did not give birth, I wouldn’t entangle with them too. We’ll go our separate ways. In ancient times, the firstborn was not necessarily the crown prince.”
I would have 72 imperial concubines in my three palaces and six courtyards like an emperor, Li Xianyu thought.
“But I can assure you that my next generation of heirs will be born in your family.”
After hearing this, the crowd was silent.
After a long time, Wang Tiancheng replied, “How can we believe that you are not lying? What if everything is for naught then?”
Everybody looked at him in astonishment. Did you take this seriously?
Li Xianyu replied earnestly, “Why do you say so? At that time, the reason why the Li family inheritor killed all his brothers and sisters and brothers was because there was a legitimate heir to the Unparalleled War Spirit. You forced the third generation inheritor, which was malicious in nature. It wasn’t wrong for my great-grandmother to do so.”
“But now it’s different. First of all, I’m the only child of the Li family, and I have no heir. Secondly, I’m not forced by you. The women of your family will marry to the Li family, which is lawful and right. I will leave the Unparalleled War Spirit for my own son to inherit, doesn’t this make sense?”
There weren’t any flaws. Everyone was silent again.
Just as Elder Hua Yu wanted to speak, she heard Li Xianyu say, “Elder Hua Yu, Elder Ling Bao, both of your sects do not prohibit marriage so my words are equally effective for you. I only have one requirement.”
“I want a good woman, not only in appearance, but also in temper. If the father is insane, only one will be affected. If the mother is insane, the whole family will be affected. So the character of the future mistress of the house is very important.”
His expression and tone of voice seemed to be very serious about discussing the matter, and there was no sense of teasing.
What else can Elder Hua Yu say?
“Yes!” The sound came from the arch door.
The crowd was startled, as they looked out. The Unparalleled War Spirit donned in denim shorts and a black T-shirt suddenly appeared outside. No one noticed when she had arrived.
The orange light reflected a warm and pleasant aura as she looked like a pretty, lovely little girl. However, the clan masters present immediately sat straight and restrained their auras.
For more than 100 years, the Unparalleled War Spirit had always been the peak of the demon descendants. Other than Li Xianyu, no one dared to be cheeky in front of her.
They dared to argue against Buddha Head, and dared to threaten him using circumstances, because everyone knew that Buddha Head would not injure human lives, and would not turn against the world.
This was not the case for the Unparalleled War Spirit. If someone were to piss her off, she would blow his head off with a punch without hesitation.
“I agree with what my great grandson said.” Great-Grandma’s gaze swept across the crowd.
“If there are good ladies in your family, you can let them come and serve my great-grandson, and the Li family will not mistreat them. If they can give birth to an heir, I will not only forget about Li Wuxiang’s matter, but I will admit that we are in-laws. It’s also reasonable for in-laws to share secrets and treasure.”
The clan masters’ expressions were conflicted.
“One more thing, if you want to treat my great-grandson to dinner, you better ask me first. If I agree, you may start the banquet. If this happens again, your families can have a new clan master.”
Her voice was calm and her gaze was calm, but no one would think it was an empty threat. The crowd was silent.
Great-Grandma looked at her great-grandson with a blank expression. “Are you full? If you are full, get over here.”
Li Xianyu was incredibly obedient. “I’m full, I’m full.” He dashed over to Great-Grandma, looking subservient.
“Oh, one more thing.” Li Xianyu patted his head, turned around and made a Taoist salute.”I want to ask Elder Hua Yu something.”
Li Xianyu didn’t reply, but changed the topic. “The Great Deities Palace will be open soon. Be it the Demonic Priest or my father, they have only entered the Great Deities Palace once and brought something out from it. These things aren’t important compared to the Great Deities Palace.
