Chapter 999 - 968: First Battle_2
"Clan Leader and all Elders, I entrust the family affairs to you. Strengthen patrols around our territory and notify us immediately if there are issues you cannot resolve!"
Li Chengshuo had undertaken this responsibility multiple times before, so he wasn’t overly panicked; instead, he methodically issued various commands.
"During this period, if anyone endangers the family’s interests or disrupts our unity, do not blame me for being ruthless and disregarding our kinship ties!"
In his concluding words, Li Chengshuo even took the opportunity to caution everyone, the slight hint of murderous intent in his tone causing many clan members to shiver, feeling a chill all over.
Especially those oppressed and dissatisfied direct lineages, who might suddenly lose their rationality thinking of seizing power and profit, even believing it is easier to act with so many high-rank cultivators away from the family.
If such a situation truly arises, Li Chengshuo would indeed kill!
Unlike Li Zhirui and several former Clan Leaders who, in an effort to minimize impact, had chosen to handle things discreetly.
"Rest assured Shuo Ancestor, such concerns will not arise," Li Hongshi quickly spoke out. His interactions with this venerable ancestor were few, but it was not hard to see that this was a man who meant what he said!
On the other hand, Li Zhirui led thousands of clan members to the battlefield.
The additional few hundred cultivators were those who would not go to the front lines, instead staying behind to manage various logistical tasks, such as concocting Precious Pills and taking care of the injured.
