Chapter 160: Return My Brother's Life! (Second Update)

Zhao Yundan looked at the beast-like gaze of Hei Qiangwei, and after a moment of silence, she slowly nodded.

"I promise you."

After obtaining the Valley Master's promise, she let out a sigh of relief and revealed a miserable smile.

She looked back at her sister, who was still unconscious, and whispered to herself:

"This time, only you will be left."

"You must..." *Cough. *

Before she could finish her sentence, Hei Qiangwei's consciousness was completely extinguished.

Without waiting for anyone else to act, her body slowly split apart from the top of her head, then fell over, divided directly into two halves.

That previous wound was not something Hei Qiangwei had narrowly dodged, but had instead completely cleaved her open long ago.

It was only because that sword strike was too sharp and fast, and Hei Qiangwei's desire to survive was too strong, that she had managed to remain alive until now.

And when she finally let go of all hope, she, no longer able to sustain herself, finally met her long-overdue death.

"What are you trying to do?"

Li Long's voice entered the sect-protecting Great Array, resounding in the ears of every disciple of Wanhua Valley.

"Do you want to use her to appease My anger?"

"Do you take Me for a blind man?"

Li Long stood in the sky with an indifferent expression, stepping on a pale golden giant dragon beneath his feet.

That was not a true dragon, but something transformed from a section of the Dragon Vein severed from Wentian City.

This was not just Li Long wanting to put on a show; with this section of the Dragon Vein, he was effectively as if he were in Wentian City.

He could unleash his maximum strength!

His pursuit from Wentian to Wanhua Valley this time was not merely an impulsive act; he had made full preparations.

"Zhao Yundan, it has been many years; do you actually intend to treat Me like a fool?"

Zhao Yundan squinted as she looked at that majestic lord in the sky.

This was not the first time they had met.

Many years ago, back when they were not yet Emperor and Valley Master, they had already had contact in the pugilistic world.

And at this moment, Li Long reminded her of that arrogant, self-willed, and insane member of the Li Family from back then.

Zhao Yundan remained silent, then looked at Bai Qiangwei, who was lying in the distance.

She now knew one thing, and this was the only way to settle the trouble "peacefully" right now.

Kill Bai Qiangwei.

Li Long had had countless opportunities to kill them along the way, yet he had only forced them back to Wanhua Valley.

What was this for?

The deep meaning behind his actions was to further incite internal strife within Wanhua Valley.

You didn't want to usurp My throne?

Fine!

Then I will let you fall into complete chaos.

He wanted to watch Wanhua Valley kill its own sect members with its own hands.

"..."

The reason Hei Qiangwei and Bai Qiangwei were qualified to be Supreme Elders was because of their uniqueness.

The special abilities unique to this pair of twin sisters allowed them to unleash the strength of a Void Refinement cultivator while at the Spirit Transformation realm.

And now, having completely lost one, the other was just a simple Spirit Transformation cultivator.

Such strength was indeed not weak, but for the sect, its strategic significance was greatly reduced.

Killing her would not be a great loss.

But should she do it?

Zhao Yundan was secretly furious in her heart, wishing she could rush out and fight Li Long to the death.

But she was very clear about the strength between the two.

Although they occupied the advantage of terrain and numbers, and even had the sect's Supreme Treasure to anchor the formation.

When facing Li Long head-on, Zhao Yundan knew she was no match for him.

This Divine Dynasty Lord, who had cultivated the Dao for over three hundred years, was far more terrifying than others imagined.

Although he arrived at Wanhua Valley alone, he alone was worth ten thousand troops.

In the face of true high-end power, the violence of numbers began to seem less important.

And now that a frontal assault would not work, she could only take a roundabout path.

Zhao Yundan: Tsk!

Damn it, isn't it just an attempt to usurp your throne?

So what if you found out? It didn't succeed, did it?

Since it has already failed, it doesn't count as a *fait accompli*.

Are you really this angry!!?

Not only did she curse Li Long in her heart, she also cursed the Venerables Hei and Bai Qiangwei over and over again.

If you were going to die, why did you have to return to the sect?

If you had died outside, I could still find a reason to avenge you.

But if you die here, and die by my hand...

Although she was about to explode inside, Zhao Yundan still maintained the dignity of a Valley Master.

On the surface, she still waved her hand with a light and breezy air.

"Brother Daoist Li, I fear there is some misunderstanding regarding this matter."

"I have already come to understand the reason for your arrival here, but this matter was merely the personal conduct of those two, and has nothing to do with Wanhua Valley."

As she spoke, she waved her hand across Bai Qiangwei's neck before she could wake up.

A fine head was thus directly separated from her body.

With this, the Black and White Rose sisters of Wanhua Valley had become four pieces...

Putting her hands behind her back, Zhao Yundan gripped her right hand, which was trembling with rage, tightly.

She stared at Li Long and said in a deep voice:

"I have already personally executed the sinner."

After all, Wanhua Valley was at fault first in this matter; if it really came down to it, they would have no leg to stand on.

"I wonder if you are... satisfied with this result, Brother Daoist?"

In the eyes of Valley Master Zhao, this matter should already be considered concluded.

The situation had not brewed into a great disaster, and the ringleader had already been brought to justice; as long as Li Long was not a madman, he should be appeased.

After all, going to war with a super sect over this matter was absolutely not a wise choice for the Divine Dynasty.

Even if the Emperor were to act willfully, the court officials would not allow him to make such an unwise and impulsive decision.

Added to this were some special relationships: her kinship with the Empress, and her master-disciple relationship with Li Fengyao.

Both in terms of sentiment and reason, Li Long should stop here this time.

Having perfectly watched a good show of fellow disciples killing one another, the corners of Li Long's mouth curled up slightly, and he nodded at Zhao Yundan.

"Valley Master Zhao has such resolve; if you can maintain it, I believe Wanhua Valley will surely be able to develop and grow in your hands."

"However, you must increase the recruitment of disciples; otherwise, I fear that before your great cause is achieved, your sect will have already withered away."

His words were praise in name but criticism in reality, giving her a harsh jab.

Her face twitched, but Zhao Yundan ultimately suppressed the urge to curse and said coldly:

"The development of the sect requires no concern from you. Since the matter is settled, Brother Daoist, please return."

Forced to be led by the nose by Li Long, her face stung from the slap; she now needed to hurry back to the valley to suppress any other voices that might emerge.

"Fine, this matter can be considered finished."

Li Long nodded with a smile, but in the next second, his expression shifted, his face full of rage.

"But there is another matter I must settle with you properly!"

Drawing the Long Sword carried on his back, Li Long slashed at the mountain gate without the slightest hesitation.

Boom!!!

He said:

"Return my brother's life!"
