Chapter 693: Chapter 690: Catching a White Wolf with Bare Hands!_1
Upon thinking of this, Li Ruoxiang didn’t bother with any more nonsense, and directly said, “Tell me, what do we need to do for you to release our Green Lotus Sect’s disciples!”
Huyan Shun and the elder from Wood Dragon City exchanged glances, and then Huyan Shun stroked his chin and bluntly said, “Release them? Hmph, Sect Leader Li, are you treating the rules of our Demon Subduing Sect and Wood Dragon City as a joke? Your people cross the line and then you come here to release them. What, are you not taking our forces seriously?”
“That’s right, Sect Leader Li, if we let this go so easily today, will your people still dare to act recklessly tomorrow, and the day after? You say release and they get released, ha ha, are you treating our forces as air?” The elder from Wood Dragon City shouted.
Hearing this, the people from the Green Lotus Sect were furious to the point of explosion.
They couldn’t even see their people now, and all they heard was you claiming that they crossed the line?
Who knows? Where is the evidence?
There’s nothing at all.
But these two forces still insist on saying it as if it were true, placing themselves on the side of morality and righteousness. And then they started to attack the Green Lotus Sect.
Li Ruoxiang was originally hot-tempered and straightforward in her dealings. How could she tolerate such things?
She initially intended to negotiate with these two forces properly, but their roundabout approach instantly touched her nerves, and she shouted, “Fine, very well, Huyan Shun, and Mu Ya, let’s not waste any more words. I give you two choices: either we have a life and death fight between the three forces here and now, or you quickly give me an answer. Choose!”
At the fall of these words, the people from Wood Dragon City and the Demon Subduing Sect were all dumbfounded.
Yang Chen, who was standing on the side, was also stupefied.
This Li Ruoxiang really didn’t know how to negotiate. The Demon Subduing Sect and Wood Dragon City were just saying so, but would they not release their people? However, just because of Li Ruoxiang’s words, both sides had lost face. Either go to war or come up with an answer.
Li Ruoxiang treated Zhenwu Main City and Heiyun Main City the same way, and she treated these two sides the same way.
This made Yang Chen both laugh and cry. This lady really had a bad temper.
But what was even more shocking to him was…
The first time, Li Ruoxiang successfully intimidated Heiyun Main City and Zhenwu Main City.
The second time.
It seemed to be successful again.
Yang Chen carefully watched the high-level members of the Demon Subduing Sect and Wood Dragon City, only seeing the two sides looking at each other. Although their faces were full of embarrassment, they didn’t seem to have any intention to make a stand and confront Li Ruoxiang.
The older people lived, the smoother their edges were polished.
These two sides obviously had no intention of fighting with Li Ruoxiang.
Seeing this, Yang Chen could more or less guess what was going on. These two forces, as well as Heiyun Main City and Zhenwu Main City, formed an alliance in appearance, but in fact, this alliance was not stable at all. It was built on the premise that both sides did not trust each other.
Although they targeted the Green Lotus Sect, the two sides were all harboring ulterior motives, plotting behind each other’s backs.
In short, they wanted to defeat the Green Lotus Sect, but they didn’t know what to do after the Green Lotus Sect was defeated.
With three powers in a deadlock, nobody wanted the other party to take advantage.
“Well…” Yang Chen couldn’t help but laugh when he saw this. “This woman really has the fortune of having a bad temper.”
Huyan Shun angrily looked at Li Ruoxiang, then coughed twice to alleviate the embarrassment, “Sect Leader Li, if you’re going to talk like this, it’s really not fun. Our three forces have always coexisted in peace, but you keep mentioning war…”
“No need for so much nonsense. If you don’t leave a way out for the Green Lotus Sect, I, Li Ruoxiang, will not leave a way out for you two!” Li Ruoxiang said fiercely. “At that time, even if our Green Lotus Sect were to be destroyed, we’ll still make sure one of you is severely wounded. It’s just not clear who would be better to wound!”
Huyan Shun stepped back, knowing Li Ruoxiang was the kind of woman capable of doing such a thing.
The people from Wood Dragon City also felt the same, and were somewhat timid.
Huyan Shun continued, “Sect Leader Li, stop talking about fighting and killing. If you want us to release your people, we can. But, there must be some conditions, right?”
“Tell me, what are your conditions?” Li Ruoxiang said coldly.
Huyan Shun looked at Li Ruoxiang who had calmed down and let out a sigh of relief.
“Without rules, there is no order. Since this matter started with the Spiritual Veins, why don’t we deal with it from there?” Huyan Shun said with a smile.
Li Ruoxiang looked expressionless at the people from Wood Dragon City and the Demon Subduing Sect, then said, “Tell me.”
Huyan Shun slowly said, “There’s no need for our upper ranks to take action, for if we do, it will surely end up in a life or death struggle, something none of our three forces would like to see. Since that’s the case, why don’t we let the younger generations have a martial battle?”
As soon as his words fell, it wasn’t difficult to tell that his initial intention was this.
Of course, he didn’t have the guts to compete with Li Ruoxiang now. The way Li Ruoxiang was ready to fight just now was really intimidating.
Li Ruoxiang was not a fool. How could she not see the hidden plot in Huyan Shun’s words?
A Martial Battle among the younger generations?
Li Ruoxiang said, “Martial Battle? What happens if we lose, and what happens if we win?”
“If you win, Sect Leader Li, we will return your disciples to you as promised and ensure they are unharmed!” Huyan Shun said.
“What if our Green Lotus Sect loses?” Li Ruoxiang asked.
“If your Green Lotus Sect loses, then we will divide these Spiritual Veins among us!” Huyan Shun said.
Hearing this, Li Ruoxiang raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a sarcastic smile. So, this was the real goal of the Demon Subduing Sect and Wood Dragon City. From the very beginning, they were aiming at the Spiritual Veins occupied by their Green Lotus Sect!
It made sense, considering their efforts.
A battle among the younger generation? If it had been before, she wouldn’t have had the confidence, but now Yang Chen was with her…
Did they really think she, Li Ruoxiang, was an idiot?
Li Ruoxiang said coldly, “Are you joking with me? If I win, I only get to exchange my disciples back? This is ridiculous!”
“Sect Leader Li, don’t joke with us either. Those under your command broke the rules, and you don’t care? You don’t want to take them back and educate them?” Huyan Shun said.
Li Ruoxiang coldly said, “Hmph, Huyan Shun, don’t play these tricks with me. You both know better than I do how my disciples were captured. I don’t think our Green Lotus Sect would break any rules. You want to benefit without paying your due, huh? All the good things are left for you?”
