Chapter 796: The Last Gathering
Bai Juan and He Ben, a pair of young lovers, had gone out for a stroll, whispering sweet nothings to each other along the way. Meanwhile, Li Xiaofei sat together in the study with Bai Longfei and He Jiutian.
He Jiutian couldn’t hide his excitement. He had never imagined that one day, he would have the honor of sharing a private room with the God of War, Li Xiaofei.
Many of the influential figures, some of whom possessed far greater status, power, and prestige than himself, could only stand in the courtyard, greeting Li Xiaofei from afar. Even that was considered a rare privilege.
“I know what’s on your mind.” Li Xiaofei looked at He Jiutian and said, “You despise the poor and fawn over the rich. You cling to power and even went so far as to tear apart your children's romance. Heh... if this had been the old me, someone like you would’ve been labeled a villain and thoroughly taught a lesson.”
He Jiutian’s expression changed drastically. Anxious and fearful, he quickly stood up, about to apologize and beg for forgiveness. But an overwhelming force pinned him in place, rendering him completely immobile.
Li Xiaofei continued sternly, “However, your son He Ben is indeed a good boy. I admire him greatly. My niece and he are truly in love, which is why I agreed to this marriage. From now on, we’re considered one family. But let me be clear, if you dare to abuse your position in the future and use my name to oppress the weak and act lawlessly, don’t blame me for showing no mercy. The blade in my hand has slain Jiepeng warriors, Yiggs warriors, false gods from beyond the heavens... and it will also cut down the traitorous villains of Great Xia without hesitation.”
What kind of might does he possess now? What kind of cultivation level is he at?
His words were filled with an intense killing aura. Although He Jiutian was not weak by any means, at that moment, he couldn’t help but tremble uncontrollably. Cold sweat poured down his back, and he could barely remain seated, as though a monstrous hand from the abyss had gripped him, ready to crush him to dust at any second.
“I won’t—I absolutely won’t,” he hurriedly vowed.
The psychological pressure Li Xiaofei exerted on him was truly terrifying. It was on the verge of becoming a lasting mental shadow.
