Chapter 802
"You dare!"
Hearing the Wind Spirit Clan Leader's words, the old man beside Meng Wanning narrowed his eyes and stepped forward, his entire body's pressure erupting like a surging, magnificent tide, suppressing toward Jin Fengling.
But the many Wind Spirit Clan powerhouses behind Jin Fengling were all prepared, and in an instant, they all erupted with momentum one after another, propping up a barrier for Jin Fengling.
"You just go ahead; leave the rest of the people and the rest of the matters to me!"
The Wind Spirit Clan Leader saw Jin Fengling pause and said coldly.
The crescent divine sword in his hand suddenly bloomed with a dazzling silver-white light. The heaven and earth around this Imperial Platform suddenly seemed to turn into a boundary, with wheels of long moons hanging in the sky, the moonlight like cold eyes looking horizontally and vertically, overlooking the Da Meng Clan group.
Feeling that cold sword intent, the Da Meng Clan group had shock and anger in their eyes. The old woman holding the withered staff had deep eyes. Since the entire clan had come here, she had never thought of retreating easily.
Just as her immortal power gathered and the seven-colored misty light bloomed from the divine stone in her palm, a cold and calm voice suddenly said:
"Sect Master, Da Meng Clan, everyone."
Everyone could not help but turn back and look at the youth at the edge of the Imperial Platform.
"Let them come over. If they want my life, let's see if they have the ability to take it!"
Li Hao swept his gaze over Da Da Meng Zhu and the others, slowly saying: "I accept this friendship in my heart!"
Da Da Meng Zhu was immediately anxious upon hearing this. What she did was not just to let Li Hao accept the favor, but to save Li Hao, saying: "Don't be impulsive."
"I don't want to implicate the innocent."
Li Hao interrupted her, shook his head, and said, "If there is a future, I am willing to fight alongside you all, but today is my own business, and I will bear it myself!"
"Kid, don't overthink it. Since we have come, we absolutely cannot stand idly by."
The old man beside Meng Wanning said in a deep, gentle voice.
His brows were like sword blades, and he usually spoke in a rough voice, so it was rare for him to be gentle.
Li Hao looked at this old man he was meeting for the first time, seeing the sincerity in the other party's eyes, but his fingers could not help but clench. He knew that the other party's words were sincere, but precisely because of this, he could not implicate their clan.
Both sides fighting to the death, ultimately ending in mutual destruction, might not necessarily help him carve out a bloody path.
After all, there were two others nearby who were also eyeing him covetously.
Moreover, that Supreme One had not yet expressed any willingness, and no one knew if there would be others who, like that white-haired youth, would guess the Emperor's intent and want to comply with the Emperor's heart.
Without saying a word, without speaking a word, there would naturally be people responding to it. This was the Emperor.
They made a move, and the Supreme One did not stop them. This was not considered breaking his promise, but not stopping them was equivalent to tacit approval!
Li Hao knew that wanting to rely on the deterrence of the Da Meng Clan to dispel the desires of others was almost impossible. Perhaps only if he died in battle here today could it end.
But, even if he died in battle, he would drag all those who tried to step in to be buried with him!
"Senior, what virtue or ability does Haotian have to be favored and loved by you all? Today, all those who have grudges and grievances with me, as long as they step out, I will fight to the end here!"
Li Hao looked deeply at the Da Meng Clan members, then bowed deeply. When he raised his head again, he looked around the entire venue, and his clear and chilling voice spread throughout the entire venue.
Hearing that youth standing at the center of the storm vortex, yet looking around with the gaze of an eagle and a wolf, countless people were shocked!
The Da Meng Clan and the Wind Spirit Clan, two major top-hundred large clans, almost fought to the death for him. The other party rejected the Supreme One and offended the Tiangong. In this desperate situation, he actually still did not bow his head!
Behind Li Hao, Ming Yue's expression changed slightly, and she frowned, staring at that back. That tall and straight figure stood in the air like a divine sword rushing to the sky. The youth's spine only bowed deeply when facing those many gentle and complex gazes, but when facing the pressure and blades of Jin Fengling and the Wind Spirit Clan, he was like strong grass growing in the wind, towering and unyielding!
She did not understand why the other party was so stubborn. This was a personal disciple of the Supreme One; would he rather risk his life than accept it?
If he turned back now and begged his Master with soft words, even if he might not be able to re-enter the sect, at least his Master would speak up and save his life.
Hearing Li Hao's words, Da Da Meng Zhu, that is, Meng Wanning, had her expression change suddenly. The old man beside her and the other Da Meng Clan members all changed color one after another, their faces full of anxiety. The old woman holding the divine staff was slightly stunned, looking at the youth with an unexpected sharpness. When she saw the youth's sharp and profound gaze, she seemed to suddenly understand something.
She fell into silence for a moment.
She tacitly allowed the entire clan to come here, including herself coming to the scene in person, just to fight out a path for him and bet on a future.
And that youth did not treat them as mere chess pieces and did not want to let them bleed and get implicated.
Being in a desperate situation, yet being able to think of others' worries in a time of crisis... Her fingers holding the withered vine divine staff tightened slightly, only feeling her throat seem to be moved after a long time, and she quietly took a deep breath.
She really wanted to speak and give the order to sound the horn of attack, but ultimately she held back.
As the Clan Leader, she would never be easily influenced by her own emotions, but was sufficiently calm.
In the current situation, the youth's choice, although it made her unbearable and heartbroken, was undoubtedly the most rational and calm choice.
Even if she risked the entire clan, it might not necessarily be of help.
The current Da Meng Clan was not the Da Meng Clan of one hundred thousand years ago... She also could not really bring out the clan's ancestral artifact and fight for that youth with the idea of not hesitating to let the entire family be completely destroyed and disappear; that was unrealistic. Even Meng Wanning, including herself, being in a desperate situation, could not let the family make such sacrifices and actions.
No one could bear the price of the entire family being destroyed for them alone.
"Clan Leader!"
Meng Wanning turned to look at the old woman. Seeing her lower her head in silence, her pupils could not help but shrink, and her face turned pale.
The old man beside him also saw the old woman's thoughts, his face gray, but he was not angry. Instead, he reached out and pressed Meng Wanning's shoulder in silence, shaking his head slightly, his eyes extremely complex.
Seeing the Da Meng Clan compromise, the Wind Spirit Clan Leader's coldness in the depths of his eyes faded, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
In the final analysis, this was a grudge between Jin Fengling and Li Hao. For a great-great-grandson, involving the entire clan to fight to the death with the Da Meng Clan, he also had to weigh it in his heart. It was just that this happened in the Tiangong, and that youth rejected the Supreme One, sweeping the Immortal Emperor's reputation. This move could also be considered pleasing the Supreme One, and incidentally, he had other plans on the Jin Emperor's side. Based on various reasons, he came in person.
Now, being able to avoid a battle was naturally the best for him.
After all, the Wind Spirit Clan's attitude had already been shown, yet there was no loss.
Other Da Meng Clan members, seeing the old woman tacitly agree to Li Hao's words, all had unwilling faces, but seeing the Wind Spirit Clan in front of them, they also knew that wanting to cross over them and send Li Hao away safely was also an extremely difficult thing. Even if they all fought to the death here and fell, they might not necessarily be able to do it.
"Heh, you still have some backbone. Since that's the case, I'll solve you myself."
Jin Fengling sneered and took big strides toward Li Hao.
Li Hao swept his gaze over him, then looked at the Wind Spirit Clan Leader behind him, his gaze lingering on the crescent divine sword in the other party's hand for a moment before moving to that old face:
"If the trash of your clan is beheaded by me, what will your clan do? Kill the small ones and continue to have the old ones come?"
Hearing his chilling and slightly sarcastic words, the expressions of the Wind Spirit Clan members all changed, and immediately someone scolded angrily.
"Ignorant child, you are also worthy of talking to our Clan Leader!"
"What is your attitude? Our Clan Leader is a powerhouse in the Immortal King Realm; you might not be able to reach that realm in your entire life!"
"You just have some talent. It takes over ten thousand years to cultivate to the Immortal King Realm, and you dare to be so arrogant!" Facing the angry shouts of the Wind Spirit Clan members, Li Hao turned a deaf ear, just coldly staring directly at the Wind Spirit Clan Leader.
"Hmph!"
The Wind Spirit Clan Leader narrowed his eyes. He had long seen the youth's arrogance, but what kind of person was he? He knew that this youth was bold and careful. These words were not just a simple provocation, but an attempt to plan a way out for himself.
Did he really think he had the certainty to defeat his great-great-grandson in a desperate situation?
He was somewhat curious in his heart, unless the other party had reservations when facing Jian Xin earlier, and had power that had not been displayed, but how could that be possible?
That was already the limit of the True Immortal Realm.
However, for the sake of caution, he still said: "If you can defeat him, my Wind Spirit Clan can stop making things difficult for you. After all, you are just a battle between juniors, but whether others will continue to cause you trouble has nothing to do with us!"
He reserved a great deal of space with these words. If Li Hao could really defeat Jin Fengling, he could choose not to pursue it, but whether "others" would be secretly instructed by them to pursue it was another matter!
As a large clan, how could they let such a danger go? No matter what, today they must press this youth to death here!
Once offended, they must behead the entire family, leaving no opportunity!
A large clan that could stand in the True Realm for tens of thousands of years naturally had ruthless methods.
Hearing the other party's words, Li Hao's eyes turned cold. These words were extremely similar to the words of that Supreme One, and the result was that he was now facing these troubles.
Sure enough, they didn't intend to let him leave... Li Hao could not help but laugh, but his eyes became even colder.
When he retreated back to the Imperial Platform and passed by Ming Yue's side, his eyes did not deviate, and he did not even look at the other party.
Feeling the other party's disdain, Ming Yue's expression changed slightly, but looking at the youth who was now like a trapped beast fighting, deep in a desperate situation yet looking around with unyielding disdain, she suddenly felt that the other party seemed to be very different from her.
The other party did not rely on the eagles, wolves, and fierce tigers jumping out from the wilderness, while she was a peerless golden lotus nourished in a holy land cave.
Swoosh!
As Li Hao stepped back onto the Imperial Platform, suddenly, a cyan shadow flew over and also stepped into the Imperial Platform.
"I'll accompany you."
The cyan shadow that came before Li Hao was Lin Qingying.
Her sudden appearance made the people of the Wanshan Sword Tower stunned, and then they all exclaimed in surprise.
The noble-looking Elder was Lin Qingying's Master. Her expression changed suddenly, and she hurriedly stepped out, shocked and angry: "Qingying, what are you doing?!"
Lin Qingying seemed not to hear the voice, just looking back at Li Hao, her eyes gentle as water, yet solemn and profound.
Li Hao was stunned, not expecting that at this desperate juncture, the other party would appear.
He saw the other party's gaze and immediately understood her intentions, and could not help but laugh, but he also had an indescribable feeling.
"Don't worry about me."
He put away his smile and said in a low voice: "Even if I die in battle, I will drag some people to be buried with me. You don't need to accompany me."
"If you die, I won't live either."
Lin Qingying only said.
Li Hao's heart trembled slightly, he clenched his fingers slightly, put on a feigned relaxed appearance, and sent a voice transmission: "Leave quickly. I have the Immortal Emperor's inheritance and have means to save my life. I might be able to live, but if you die first, wouldn't that be dying in vain?"
Lin Qingying was slightly stunned, gazing at Li Hao. Li Hao's words on the clouds earlier, including that Supreme One, all proved that Li Hao inherited the Immortal Emperor's inheritance.
She fell into silence, and the heart that originally followed Li Hao to death was now somewhat hesitant.
If it was really as Li Hao said, she indeed could not help much.
"Go, trust me."
Li Hao said.
Lin Qingying raised her head to look at Li Hao, gazing deeply at the youth's sincere gaze. Ultimately, she nodded and only whispered:
"No matter what you say, I believe you."
After speaking, she turned and left the Imperial Platform, only saying before leaving: "But if you die, I will not live alone."
Her figure returned to the ground, and countless gazes gathered on her, all surprised and confused, discussing endlessly.
At this time, Li Hao was facing the challenge of several Immortal Monarch Realm cultivators, deep in a desperate situation, ready to fall at any time. This woman was actually still willing to accompany him to fight together. It was absolutely a deep and affectionate relationship, though it was unknown what the relationship was.
"Imperial Sister, Haotian seems to be your fiancé, right?"
On the other side, Chu Tianhuang, Bo Ya Xuejian, and others all fell into silence. Chu Tianhuang said in a low voice.
Behind him, Chu Yueli was full of shock and anger at this time, angry at Li Hao for not living up to expectations.
"I knew it, with his temperament, something big would happen sooner or later. I didn't expect that the more capable he is, the more arrogant he becomes. If he had honestly apprenticed to the Supreme One, nothing would have happened. He had to seek his own death like this!"
She was furious. If Li Hao apprenticed to the Supreme One, even if she and the other party had a name without reality and had no feelings at all, she could borrow the other party's glory to obtain many resources and the following of factions in the royal family.
But now, if Li Hao fell, with this layer of relationship, even if the marriage contract was not completed, I am afraid there would be people avoiding her.
"Back in the Ancient Immortal Realm, he dared to step on the royal family. I knew he was an arrogant person!"
Chu Yueli was so angry that her teeth were almost broken. How could someone be so stupid? Even with their toes, they could make the right choice, yet he actually made the wrong one!
"That stinky woman, I don't know who she is. Wasn't she wanting to accompany him to seek death? Why did she retreat again!"
She looked at Lin Qingying. She had seen Li Hao and the other party flirting earlier, and now she hated her even more in her heart.
Chu Tianhuang frowned slightly and said in a low voice: "Aren't you going to ask Father for help?"
"If Father wanted to help, would he need me to ask? How would I know what Father is thinking? I only blame him for not being up to the task!"
Chu Yueli said with a face full of anger.
Chu Tianhuang sighed in his heart, looking at the youth, with regret in his eyes. He was originally a peerless heaven-defying talent, but due to his temperament, he ultimately fell. Since ancient times, countless heaven-defying talents had been damaged. I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes today, and it was such a rare monster-level prodigy.
"The obstacles are all gone, you should die too!"
At this time, Jin Fengling also stepped onto the Imperial Platform, the demonic energy of the sword in his hand boiling darkly.
Beside him, the two white-haired youths also followed.
