Chapter 1401: Chapter 1402: People of the Central Plains Do Not Deceive Each Other
Li Xiaobai waved his hand, and hundreds of Godzillas appeared beside the cultivators of various sects.
Countless pairs of eyes filled with malice fixed on them. Locked by the ominous aura of death, they were enveloped in a suffocating deathly atmosphere, leaving them too terrified to move.
“Senior, acting in such a manner, are you not afraid of being condemned by the entire world!”
“Senior, your resurrection is a blessing for the Central Origin Realm. Today, we came to greet you with sincerity and reverence, yet your actions truly chill our hearts!”
“We beg you to reconsider. Even if your cultivation is immeasurable, it does not justify killing the innocent indiscriminately!”
The experts of several Super Sects were drenched in cold sweat. They had an ominous feeling that if they did not act immediately, they would be torn apart in an instant. Their only chance was to elevate Li Xiaobai morally to buy themselves some time.
“Chen Yuan!”
Li Xiaobai beckoned, and Chen Yuan, standing nearby, pulled out a booklet and began the public sentencing.
“Seven days ago, the Supreme Elder of the Five Poison Cult conspired with the Sect Leader of the Golden Blade Sect to devise a plan to dismember the Villain’s Guild…”
“A month ago, the Eastern Sea supply of the Villain’s Guild was cut off, traced back to the actions of the Hundred Flowers Sect…”
“Three months ago, Xiaoyao Valley lobbied over ten sects to separate themselves from the Villain’s Guild and establish independent factions…”
“…”
“And today, all of you attempted to test Brother Li’s strength and cultivation level under the guise of your sect disciples, intending to provoke his authority and challenge the undefeated legend of the Central Origin Realm. Such sinister motives are unforgivable. This alone is enough to convict you all!”
Chen Yuan maintained a stern expression as he meticulously read aloud the record of secret actions he had documented over the years. But inwardly, he was thrilled, as if a child reporting wrongdoing to a teacher. Over the years, the major sects had undermined the Villain’s Guild countless times, forcing them into perpetual defense. Li Xiaobai’s decisive retaliation reignited the audacious spirit of their past glory.
One by one, the crimes were enumerated. The previously composed family forces on the mountaintop could no longer muster a smile. Cold sweat dripped profusely from their foreheads, and their pupils shrank in terror. They had prided themselves on their covert actions, utterly unaware that every move had been exposed under Chen Yuan’s watchful eye, meticulously recorded.
This was truly an attempt at obliteration!
Chen Yuan’s voice carried the resonance of Immortal Yuan Power, booming and widespread. Even the cultivators at the mountain’s base heard every charge clearly.
The gathered cultivators gasped audibly as they listened. Initially, they had only suspected the major families of planning to factionalize and leave the Villain’s Guild. However, hearing the extent of their audacity—to entirely devour and extinguish the opposition—left them trembling.
“No, no! There must be some misunderstanding. Senior, please listen to me!”
“Yes, yes! None of us knew about this. There must be some hidden reason…”
“It’s all the work of the Supreme Elders of our families. I know nothing of this. If someone must die, it should be him!”
“Debt has a debtor, and wrongs have a perpetrator. My father did all of this. I’ll tie him up myself and deliver him to the Second Peak of the Villain’s Guild for Senior’s judgment!”
“Exactly, exactly! Anyone daring to harm the Villain’s Guild will face my wrath first…”
The family cultivators atop the mountain frantically waved their hands, speaking in panicked tones.
“Enough nonsense. Everyone listed in the registry—kill them all. This Peak Master doesn’t have time for your childish games!”
“The Immortal Gods are already gone, yet you lot not only fail to advance but also have no sense of impending danger. Instead, you scheme against our champions of the past. I’ve even heard rumors of your recent frenzy in hunting the Dragon Race, bathing in dragon blood to empower yourselves. Such vile behavior clearly shows you’ve forgotten the lessons of old.”
“Since you’ve forgotten, then today, this Peak Master shall ensure the Central Origin Realm forgets you!”
With an impatient wave of his hand, Li Xiaobai commanded the scores of Godzillas. They immediately sprang into action, their massive claws flashing through the air, seizing their targets precisely. With a simple twist, heads rolled to the ground, eyes wide in shocked disbelief. To meet death in such a straightforward, ruthless manner was beyond their imagination, leaving them no time even to argue.
Whoosh!
The skies roiled with thunder as lightning dragons descended, obliterating the scattered remains into nothingness. The strikes ensured no trace of Divine Soul energy escaped—utterly annihilating them.
Not a sound could be heard. After completing their task, the Godzillas vanished without a trace, fading into the void. None of the remaining cultivators dared even to twitch.
The horrific events were still vivid in their minds. Dozens of high-ranking figures representing major sects had their necks effortlessly snapped, offering no resistance whatsoever. They now feared the monstrous beasts might end their lives just as casually.
“Everyone, these are your textbook examples of disloyalty within the Central Origin Realm. I need say no more about their fate. Going forward, I urge you all to remain cautious and conduct yourselves with restraint.”
“The growth of sects and the accumulation of wealth must follow a righteous path. For those who stray into lawlessness, the Villain’s Guild will erase them from existence.”
“People of the Central Origin Realm do not deceive each other. As long as you cooperate with the Villain’s Guild towards peaceful development, your legacies can enjoy the Guild’s eternal protection!”
Li Xiaobai declared, further cementing the Villain’s Guild as the supreme power of the Central Origin Realm.
This battle left many significant forces of the realm heavily damaged, and recovery would likely take three to five centuries.
“Understood! Many thanks for Senior Li’s mercy!”
“We assure that henceforth, our sects will follow the rules, fully cooperate with the Villain’s Guild to build a prosperous Central Origin Realm, and never selfishly scheme as these fools did!”
The remaining high-ranking leaders exhaled in relief. Not finding their names among the purged meant they had narrowly escaped this calamity.
“If you understand, then disperse.”
Li Xiaobai said indifferently.
“Yes!”
The experts stumbled as they fled, scattering like startled birds and beasts. The overwhelming terror of Li Xiaobai left an indelible mark on their hearts. Was this the same individual who had once suppressed Immortal Gods five hundred years ago?
Even now, his power remained utterly devastating, leaving no hope of contesting or even catching up to him.
“Master, are you really letting them go just like that?”
Ma Niubi asked, hoping to uproot the threat completely.
“I don’t think we should leave them any chance!”
Fu Tiantian interjected, her small face brimming with killing intent.
“The Central Origin Realm needs to preserve its fire, just in case. These are people of standing. If they can maintain their dignity, they may live with it. If they can’t, then we shall help them maintain it.”
Li Xiaobai replied, showing no further interest in the petty politics. His focus lay elsewhere—pursuing higher powers and unearthing the secrets of the Immortal Gods Realm, to hunt down and destroy every one of those ancient enemies.
“Husband, what are your plans now?”
Long Xue asked.
“The Central Origin Realm must remain intact. You and Chen Yuan shall continue to guard it. I will take these disciples and wage war in the Immortal Gods Realm!”
“One day, when I dominate the universe, you shall be the world’s First Lady, and its greatest steward!”
