Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy-Chapter 224: Dare Not

Cui Shanhe had not expected Lin Yi to be so arrogant. He said angrily, "Don't forget, this is the Cui Family's territory, not your Huashan Sect."

Lin Yi sneered in disdain but refrained from saying anything too outrageous. The Huashan Sect was a Jianghu sect, but the Cui Family was no simple matter either; they were part of the Five Surnames and Seven Families.

Cui Family, Cui Family… once Martial Uncle introduces me to that expert from last night, why would I still need to fear you? he thought with glee. His martial uncle, the Arrow King, was one of the Seven Saints of Dragon Country. Just last night, he had specifically sent a message saying he had encountered an expert. In the future, if the opportunity arose, he would introduce them. What kind of person was his martial uncle? If even he called someone an expert, that person must be truly peerless. If the Huashan Sect had that expert's help, becoming the number one sect in the Jianghu wouldn't be impossible. By then, what could the Cui Family of Qinghe possibly do?

Thinking of this, Lin Yi chuckled and said to Wu Tian, "You have only one chance. The me of tomorrow will be far beyond your reach."

The people around were stunned. Why was the Sect Leader of the Huashan Sect acting like this? And with such arrogance?

Gona watched the scene unfold. Watt chuckled softly and said to him, "It seems this Wu Tian doesn't have much of a background."

The Left and Right Elders were cultivators, so they naturally heard Watt's comment. They chuckled. "You don't know this, but our Huashan Sect may have a great master backing us in the future."

"Indeed. Never mind that this Wu Tian has no background; even if he did, it would be useless soon enough."

As contemporaries of the Arrow King in the Huashan Sect, they knew about the incident the previous night when the Arrow King had faced danger and been rescued by an expert.

They were all wondering, between the expert the Arrow King wanted them to meet and the expert the Cui Family had specially invited to this banquet, who was more formidable?

The Huashan Sect's contingent was acting so audaciously on Cui Family grounds that many people began to sense something was amiss. It seemed likely that something significant had recently happened with the Huashan Gate to give them such confidence.

Many felt sympathy for Wu Tian, being propositioned by another man like this. But they were also puzzled. Why was the Sect Leader of the Huashan Sect acting so brazenly?

Only Cui Shanhe was chuckling to himself. He knew perfectly well that Wu Tian was the expert his Cui Family had specially invited. For the Huashan Sect to dare act like this in front of an expert… they must have a death wish.

Lin Yi held up three fingers. "I'll count to three. You can choose to be my man or my enemy."

"Three!"

But as soon as he counted, Wu Tian laughed, his tone cold as ice. "After today, the Huashan Sect will cease to exist."

Wu Tian's statement shocked everyone. As they recovered, many still wore grave expressions.

Good heavens, how could he make such a reckless statement? The Huashan Sect was once one of the six major Jianghu sects in ancient times. Lin Yi's earlier momentum suggested that aside from the Arrow King, there might be another old ancestor supporting Huashan; otherwise, they wouldn't be so bold on Cui Family territory. They all felt Wu Tian was being incredibly arrogant.

Watt, witnessing the scene, whispered to Gona again, "Young Master, it looks like they're about to clash. I told you I would be your Zhuge Liang, your Liu Bowen. This is the first strategy I have devised for you."

Gona nodded but replied, "Whether you truly have the talent of Zhuge remains to be seen."

Watt nodded.

Upon hearing Wu Tian's threat to extinguish the Huashan Sect, Lin Yi simply laughed. "That will be difficult."

"Lin Yi, that's enough talk! Just kill him," the Right Elder snorted.

Lin Yi nodded and looked at Wu Tian. "My apologies. I quite like you, but now I have no choice but to kill you."

Between his slender fingers, a silver needle was already clasped.

The guests at the banquet were all stunned. "Does the Huashan Sect dare to kill someone in broad daylight?" some of the younger generation asked in disbelief.

The patriarchs and their wives, however, seized this opportunity to earnestly educate their children. "You must understand," one father explained, "that some people are not bound by the laws of the mundane world, like those from the Jianghu sects or the Five Surnames and Seven Families."

"Child, remember this in the future: if you encounter people from these groups, you must not be as arrogant as this man."

"They cannot be offended. This person's fate will certainly be miserable and will serve as a cautionary tale for you. You must remember this."

Pointing at Gona, many parents said gravely to their children, "If you want to achieve great things, you must learn from him. The ability to endure what others cannot is the mark of someone truly capable of great deeds."

Many of the youths nodded, understanding that in the future, they would have to learn to assess situations properly, emulating Gona, not Wu Tian.

"Good. Now that you understand, we as parents can rest easy." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Junjie, don't disappoint me. Follow my advice, and you will surely have a prominent place in the city in the future."

The parents all held endless expectations for their children.

Wu Tian had already started walking toward Lin Yi, laughing lightly. "Your weapon is a silver needle? Do you dare make a move against me?"

"Why wouldn't I dare?" Lin Yi sneered.

Just as he was about to strike, he suddenly found Wu Tian's eyes had become chillingly cold and sharp, making him hesitate, afraid to act.

He wanted to strike, but his body was terrified. It was unbelievable. How could this be? Even those more skilled than him did not possess such keen intuition. Ever since he began cultivating that special swordsmanship, he felt he had sacrificed something in exchange for this special intuition. At this moment, he sensed that if he moved against Wu Tian, he would undoubtedly die. No, he didn't believe it.

Lin Yi stepped forward.

Wu Tian chuckled.

Lin Yi's heart trembled even more fiercely. He froze, not daring to try again.

"Senior Brother Lin Yi, why aren't you attacking?" a Huashan disciple, Ding Yi, couldn't watch any longer and shouted. "This man dares to say he'll wipe out Huashan! If you're too soft-hearted to kill him, Senior Brother, then let me do it!"

Ding Yi drew his sword and rushed forward, but when he came within four meters of Wu Tian, he too froze. He didn't know what was happening, only feeling as if some terrifying entity had fixed its gaze on him, making his body tremble.

"Ding Yi, what are you messing around for? Let me kill him!" another young Huashan disciple called out.

The Left Elder, completely bewildered by the behavior of Lin Yi and Ding Yi, saw a disciple named Wang Chong preparing to step forward. He nodded in approval and said, "If Wang Chong goes, he will surely kill this man and show the world that Huashan cannot be insulted."

Gona commented, his expression souring, "It seems you have high hopes for this Wang Chong."

The Right Elder laughed. "That's because Wang Chong is the best practitioner of our Huashan swordsmanship. Lin Yi's strength is temporary. After Wang Chong turns fifty, his accumulated experience will surely lead to a breakthrough, allowing him to surpass Lin Yi."

Gona was surprised; he hadn't expected the two elders to think so highly of Wang Chong.

However, when Wang Chong drew his sword and approached Wu Tian, he too stopped, motionless.

Everyone watching this scene was dumbfounded.

So, are they going to fight or not? What on earth was happening with this eerie spectacle?
