Chapter 579: Absolute Control
This Grand Saint-level battle had been so abrupt and one-sided that it felt like a poorly staged performance. Li Xiaofei demonstrated a level of strength and terror that defied reason. For a moment, silence blanketed the heavens and earth.
Li Xiaofei glanced at Xie Yunlong and said calmly, "Twenty-one seconds left. The Xie family truly has courage to risk total annihilation by refusing to hand over Goddess Ye. Even I’m a little impressed by your resolve."
Xie Yunlong was on the verge of tears.
Damn it.
It wasn’t that they refused to hand her over; she wasn’t even in their possession anymore. She had been intercepted on the way.
"Senior..." muttered Xie Yunlong.
His bitterness was like swallowing raw gallbladder; it was unbearable. Their ancestor was dead. The Xie family’s greatest shield was gone and as the family patriarch, he couldn’t afford to show defiance now.
This was about the Xie family’s four hundred years of legacy in the northwest. So, he lowered his once-proud head. His posture slumped, resembling a dog with its spine broken.
"She’s truly not in our hands," Xie Yunlong explained, his voice trembling. "We did capture her, but shortly after sending her to Lanfu Base City, she was rescued."
"Do you take me for a three-year-old child?" Li Xiaofei’s voice was cold and unwavering. "Ten seconds left. Hand her over, or the Xie family will be wiped out down to the last chicken and dog."
Thud!
