"Don't you know what's going on down there? Or do you really think you can take on so many experts? Fanxue Mountain has always had a smooth journey in the past, but do you really think it's the same today?"
"You are like a piece of juicy meat. Every carnivore in the forest is attracted to you. You will either have your flesh cut off, or be eaten until not even your bones are left!" Li Dong went up to Mofan and the others and said sternly.
"Did they send you here to negotiate with us?" Mofan asked.
"I asked for it. Say, Mofan, you have always been a tyrant. You have never treated any factions or authorities seriously. After all, that was in the past. You did bring glory to the country during the World College Tournament, and earned Shao Zheng's favor. Most authorities wouldn't touch you, but it's different now. Your backer has fallen, and you even offended someone you shouldn't have. Who do you think Zhao Jing is? He's definitely a great figure in the south, let alone in the north. Eight out of ten Councilmen would have to address him as the young master of the Zhao Clan …"
"It's a good thing that Zhao Jing wants the treasures that you took away. If you give them to him, I believe that he might not want to make a big deal out of it. Nowadays, no one wants to be in the open about bloody matters."
Li Dong spoke very quickly and clearly. He was indeed a pretty good negotiator.
That being said, a negotiation would only take place when both sides had a bargaining chip and were willing to exchange some conditions.
It did not feel like a negotiation. It felt more like pressure.
They had no choice but to give it to him, even if they did not want to!
"Who are the people down there? Tell me about them," Mofan asked.
"Zhao Jing and Lin Kang are the leaders. I won't go into too much detail about them. One of them is a Heavenly King of the Zhao Clan, while the other is the leader of the strongest armed force in the south. The leader of the Southern Mercenary Alliance, Du Tongfei, is an old friend of Zhao Jing. He's very strong. Apparently, three of his Elements have reached the peak of the Super Level. "
"The Nanrong Clan has sent a boat too. The leaders are Nanrong Xu and Nanrong Ni. Nanrong Xu's strength is unfathomable. Many people think he can take on Zhao Jing, but no one has seen him use his full strength. "
"These are the four most reputable people among the Super Mages. Apart from them, there are about twenty other Super Classes, such as the Zhao Clan's Iwo Jima and his son, the Mu Clan's three Honorable Guests, the Banner Mountain God Hunters, and the South Wing Mage Platoon's vice-captain … "
Relying on his memory, Li Dong was able to recite all the reputable figures, but he felt that he had not told them all, because there were still many masters at the foot of the mountain that he found familiar but could not name.
It wasn't because they weren't famous or powerful, but because they were ignorant and inexperienced.
They didn't go up the mountain immediately because they were waiting for most of their members to gather. They were also waiting for Lin Kang's army to disperse the people living nearby.
Once the dispersal was completed and the news reached a level where it would not cause too many innocent deaths, they would directly take action!
No matter what, Lin Kang had to use the banner of justice to punish these thieves and traitors. He didn't want to deliberately cause a bloodbath.
The strong preyed on the weak in this era, but he still had to put on a good show!
"If you hand the things over, Lin Kang won't have a valid reason. I don't know why you are hesitating. Hurry up!" Li Dong was worried for Mofan, even though he had no idea why he was worried about Fanxue Mountain.
"Li Dong, who are the people from the Dali Clan?" Mofan asked.
Fanxue Mountain and the Dali Clan had always been enemies, but the Dali Clan was no longer as strong as Fanxue Mountain. The Nanrong Clan had started to interfere with them.
"Only two. They have just reached the threshold of the Super Level. They are my seniors," Li Dong did not understand why Mo Fan would ask such a question.
The Dali Clan was only there to make up the numbers in such a huge battle.
"Alright, since you have provided me with such valuable information, I'll spare their lives if we stumble into them," Mofan nodded.
"…" Li Dong almost exploded when he heard the words.
"What are you talking about? Mofan, can't you use your brain? Who do you think you are? Are you a god that has descended from the heavens? You still want to oppose them? What's the difference between that and your death? Fanxue Mountain has worked so hard to establish itself, and it has contributed a lot over the years. Can't you just bear with it? Haven't you suffered since you were young? What's wrong with being a fence-sitter? You only have the right to speak if you are still alive!"
Li Dong yelled angrily. "I've already explained the situation clearly. Why are you still trying to stop us?
Is it worth it if Fanxue Mountain is destroyed because of you!? "
Li Dong's furious roar silenced the people in the hall. They all looked at him in astonishment.
Mo Fan looked at Li Dong. He was surprised instead of being mad at the man's behavior.
As a member of the Dali Clan, shouldn't he be hoping for Fanxue Mountain's destruction? Why was he infuriated because Fanxue Mountain was trying to fight them head-on?
"What are you looking at? What are you looking at? Did I say anything wrong? I've been involved in society for so many years. Don't you think I've seen enough? Fanxue Mountain was established by a group of young and energetic people with the same ideals. It's a new faction that was divided up by the other factions a long time ago. Anyone with half a brain would know you're building a city. You don't care how big or prosperous it is, you just want to protect the people living here so that the people here can have real peace and quiet …"
"But that's how society is. If a new faction doesn't wallow in the mire with the other factions, its influence will gradually expand. It will be ostracized, despised, exploited, or even destroyed.
"I wasn't as hot-blooded as you when I was young. I would bite anyone I saw and end up with bruises all over my body. Back then, I was hoping there would be a faction like Fanxue Mountain, working together for the same goal instead of scheming against each other or fighting for power. But I didn't see it. You only showed up when I became like this, and you're still opposing the Dali Clan!
"Fanxue Mountain is the hope of many people. A few of my classmates told me after drinking that if they were ten years younger, they would have come here to build their own businesses and maintain their dignity.
"I have the same thoughts as them. I might be called a fence-sitter … but I sincerely beg you to stay alive and give those who have been assimilated a little hope. It's time to put down your pride and step on the hot-blooded youths.
"Nothing is important in the face of life and death.
"If you really don't know how to lower your head in front of others, I can teach you …" Li Dong's eyes were fixed on Mo Fan as he spoke.
In Li Dong's eyes, Mofan was a demon king. He was bold enough to poke a hole in the sky.
However, it was time for him to lower his head, as a greater demon king had shown up. He was none other than Zhao Jing!
