Chapter 48

On the way down.

Li Taibai still took the opportunity to reply.

"Let us meet again—I am Li Taibai, Fifth Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society!"

"My purpose here is not to celebrate your longevity, but to deliver your end—everything depends on Master Zhang's decision."

What?!

Fifth Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society?!

Silence!

Quiet!

Utterly silent!

In that instant.

From Zhang Sanfeng and the Fighting Wine Monk, both of Earthly Immortal Realm, down to the leaders of every Men Sect and the lone cultivators in the arena.

None failed to gape dumbly, frozen in place!

If,

before the Heavenly Dao Golden List appeared,

Li Taibai naming the Qinglong Society would have stirred not even a ripple,

then now,

merely these three words,

were enough to trigger violent tremors!

Even more so,

in today's Jiuzhou Continent,

you may not know who holds the throne, you may not know which top forces rule the martial world,

but you absolutely must know the name Qinglong Society!!

Thus, it is clear,

how outrageous these words truly were!

"Old Zhang, be honest—when did you get involved with the Qinglong Society?"

At this moment,

He Shou, snapping out of his shock,

poked Zhang Sanfeng and asked in a low, curious tone.

Hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.

He shook his head, offering no explanation.

For at this moment, he had understood the meaning behind Li Taibai's words.

If he agreed to join the Qinglong Society, then Li Taibai had come to congratulate him.

If he refused to join, then Li Taibai had come to deliver his end!

There was no third option!

Just this one point,

revealed the Qinglong Society's utter ruthlessness!

And the Fighting Wine Monk, quicker to react,

now also grasped Li Taibai's meaning.

His heart tightened slightly.

If Zhang Sanfeng joined the Qinglong Society,

then Yunzhou Shaolin's current aggression would be all for nothing.

That wasn't the key issue.

The main concern was,

Yunzhou Shaolin had already irrevocably angered Zhang Sanfeng and Wu Dang.

If the other side joined the Qinglong Society,

would they use the Qinglong Society's power to turn the tables and strike back at Yunzhou Shaolin?!

Leaving aside Li Taibai's current cultivation level,

just imagining the existence of the Qinglong Society's First Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi—a forbidden being—sent chills down the Fighting Wine Monk's spine!

Not to mention the Qinglong Society's full power, still hidden from the world!

If they truly targeted Yunzhou Shaolin,

Yunzhou Shaolin would face utter annihilation!!

Thinking of this,

the Fighting Wine Monk grew restless.

Before Zhang Sanfeng could speak, he stepped forward hastily.

His tone now slightly flattering and pleading:

"Amitabha, Master Li truly lives up to his title as a celestial immortal descended to earth—you are the Fifth Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society."

"I have a proposition for you, Master Li—would you be interested?"

Watching the Fighting Wine Monk, who had completely shed his former arrogance,

even changing his self-reference from "this one" to "this humble monk,"

everyone present, beyond their shock at the Qinglong Society's terror,

He felt even greater contempt for the Drinking Monk.

It was so real, incredibly real!!!

035-Zhang Sanfeng submits! The Qinglong Society cannot be insulted! (Requesting flowers, requesting tips)

Seeing the Drinking Monk open his mouth.

Zhang Sanfeng, who had been hesitating, instantly changed expression.

He knew.

The so-called deal the other party proposed was definitely related to his Wu Dang!

The thought had just arisen.

He was immediately panicked!

Although he was not afraid of death.

But what about his disciples?

Could he really stand by and watch Wu Dang drown in blood and littered with corpses because of him?!

At this thought.

He opened his mouth to speak.

However.

Before he could make a sound, Li Taibai spoke first.

He casually glanced at the Drinking Monk.

A sneer of contempt curled at his lips.

"A deal? Huh~~ You're not even worthy!!"

His voice was not loud.

But the mockery dripping from every word.

Anyone could hear it!

Think about it.

Any deal.

Is built on the foundation of roughly equal strength between both sides.

Otherwise.

What insane confidence would let you even talk about a deal?!

Do you really think just thickening your face and opening your mouth is enough?!

As soon as these words were spoken.
