Listening to Li Xiaotian's words, the three of them immediately broke out in a cold sweat. One of them looked back at Yan Song and the others, his eyes filled with anger. Since they were in the same faction, they had already made their move, but Yan Song and the others were still standing still, leaving the three of them to face Li Xiaotian's wrath.
"Escape!!!"
One of them roared and instantly fled in the opposite direction. The other two reacted immediately, and without thinking, turned to flee.
"Can you escape?"
Li Xiaotian muttered, his eyes filled with mockery. Three sword energies shot out from his fingertips.
In the blink of an eye, by the time the onlookers reacted, the three fleeing individuals had all perished, their bodies plummeting from the sky.
At this moment, everyone was stunned again. Li Xiaotian had annihilated three late-stage Emperor-level cultivators with three moves. Even more terrifyingly, no one present could see how Li Xiaotian had made his moves; they could only sense a faint sword intent.
"This! Did he really just break through to Dominator?"
A strong cultivator whispered, his heart filled with shock. The impact Li Xiaotian had on them today was simply too great.
First, they learned that he had broken through to Dominator, then he had attacked the Wuyun Sect, withstood a blow from Old Ancestor Wuyun without dying, and annihilated an Emperor-level peak expert with a single move.
Any one of these events would have caused a stir, but now they were all concentrated on Li Xiaotian.
It should be known that the strong cultivators present were all old monsters who had lived for tens of millions of years. What kind of prodigies had they not seen? Yet, they were all subdued by Li Xiaotian.
"The future of Yanzhou is likely to change. With Li Xiaotian's terrifying strength, the unification of Yanzhou is not far off."
A strong cultivator whispered with emotion. Hundreds of ancient forces, and now they were about to be unified by a later generation's force. This matter was simply too laughable.
"How did he do it? Is it truly just because he possesses the Heavenly Stele? But among the ancient forces that possessed the Heavenly Stele, none of them produced such a heaven-defying existence as Li Xiaotian."
"Could Li Xiaotian truly be the favored son of heaven and earth in this era? Or perhaps, this era is destined to be the stage for the later generations, and we, the ancients, will be mere foils?"
"Fortunately, we never targeted Li Xiaotian and Great Qin. Otherwise, even if we had a chance to regret it, it would be too late."
Some people looked at Yan Song and the others with relief and schadenfreude. Although those people had not made a move earlier, their intentions had already been exposed, and they were likely being watched by Li Xiaotian.
Recalling Li Xiaotian's growth along the way, the Tian family, the Western Border Alliance, the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain's demon race, it seemed that all the opponents who had been enemies with Li Xiaotian ultimately met with no good end.
At this moment, seeing Li Xiaotian easily kill three more late-stage Emperor-level cultivators, Yan Song and the others felt a chill in their hearts, especially when Li Xiaotian's gaze happened to fall upon them.
Immediately, Yan Song and the others quickly lowered their heads, their foreheads covered in cold sweat, their bodies tense, fearing that Li Xiaotian would make a move against them.
"Hmph!"
However, Li Xiaotian merely snorted coldly, his aggressive gaze sweeping over Yan Song and the others before retracting.
At this moment, he indeed did not have much combat power left. The earlier difficult feat of killing Situ Lie, the peak Emperor-level expert, and those three late-stage Emperor-level experts had already drained him. It was now very difficult for him to make another move.
Li Xiaotian looked in the direction of the Wuyun Sect, where lightning still raged, but the oppressive feeling was less than before, and he could no longer sense Old Ancestor Wuyun's fluctuations.
It seemed that Old Ancestor Wuyun would not be able to come out, Li Xiaotian thought to himself.
With this thought, Li Xiaotian notified Long Shiwu and the others to retreat. With the Wuyun Sect destroyed, the purpose of their trip had been achieved.
The only regret was that their harvest this time was too little. An ancient sect of the first rank should have countless elixirs, cultivation techniques, and treasures. However, the Wuyun Sect was currently covered by lightning, making it impossible for them to search for the Wuyun Sect's treasury.
"Fellow Daoists, in three days, Great Qin will host a banquet to invite all factions to the capital to discuss the unification of Yanzhou. I hope everyone present will not forget to attend."
Before leaving, Li Xiaotian spoke to those present. His tone was unhurried, but his words caused the expressions of many present to change.
Discussing the unification of Yanzhou, Li Xiaotian intended to conquer all the major forces of Yanzhou in one day!
In fact, ever since everyone knew that Li Xiaotian had broken through to Dominator, they knew that he would eventually unify the entire Yanzhou. After all, Yanzhou was Great Qin, and the territories occupied by various factions were actually seized from Great Qin.
As the owner, Great Qin would naturally reclaim these territories. However, what they did not expect was that Li Xiaotian would be so eager, even so domineering, wanting to resolve everything in one day.
"What? Are you all unwilling?"
Seeing no one respond, Li Xiaotian spoke again, his gaze then falling on Yan Song and the others.
Yan Song's scalp tingled, and he quickly said with a smile.
"Lord Li is joking. Of course, we are willing. Our Yan Huo Sect will arrive on time in three days."
"Yes, yes, our Hong Luo Sect will also arrive on time and will present a congratulatory gift to Lord Li for his breakthrough to Dominator."
With Yan Song and the others taking the lead, the people from other sects also spoke one after another. It was only a matter of attending the banquet, and offending Li Xiaotian again at this time would clearly be more of a loss than gain.
"That's good. Great Qin will welcome representatives from all factions to the banquet!"
Li Xiaotian said, then transformed into a beam of light and left.
As for Old Ancestor Wuyun, he was likely not coming out, and Li Xiaotian would not wait indefinitely. It was better to leave.
"Hoo!"
Watching Li Xiaotian disappear into the horizon, Yan Song and the others breathed a sigh of relief. They were temporarily safe.
"Sect Master Yan, what should we do in the future? Li Xiaotian will probably not let us off."
Someone spoke, their tone filled with worry. If they had known that Li Xiaotian had broken through to Dominator, they would never have dared to plot against him. Now, not only had several Emperor-level cultivators from their respective sects died, but they had also incurred the wrath of Li Xiaotian, and their future days would likely be difficult.
"With Li Xiaotian's vindictive nature, he will definitely not let our sects off. The reason we are still alive now is simply that he is not confident in making enemies of all of us at once. However, in the future, he will definitely settle the score one by one."
The people around Yan Song were all worried. Among these forces, the Yan Huo Sect was stronger, belonging to the first-rank sects, with Heavenly-level cultivators in hibernation. The other sects had no Heavenly-level cultivators at all.
"Everyone, do not worry. Li Xiaotian did not make a move against us today and voluntarily let go of last night's incident in the capital. This clearly shows that he does not intend to act against us in the short term. As for why he did this, although I don't know, I also know that if he were to make a move against us again, he would have to find a good excuse. Otherwise, would the various factions just watch him continue to destroy sects?"
Yan Song spoke, alleviating everyone's worries. Li Xiaotian's inaction today meant that they were safe for the time being.
Moreover, in three days, Li Xiaotian intended to unify Yanzhou. At this time, he would not repeatedly challenge the bottom line of the various factions.
It should be known that the destruction of sects was a rare occurrence even in ancient times. If Li Xiaotian continued to act recklessly, all the factions in Yanzhou would surely unite to resist him.
