The arrival of the West Frontier Alliance's grand army immediately drew the attention of countless forces. One Overlord-level expert, dozens of Emperor-level masters, and countless martial artists below the Emperor level.
It could be said that before the Heaven-level experts awakened, the West Frontier Alliance and Overlord-level powers were already on par.
Therefore, facing Great Qin, the West Frontier Alliance had every reason to be confident!
Tens of thousands of martial artist troops led the way, followed by Emperor-level martial artists in the air. In the center, a massive chariot advanced unhurriedly through the sky.
"I didn't expect the strength of the Sixteen Sects united to be so terrifying, let alone with an Overlord-level expert. Great Qin is truly doomed this time!"
From afar, numerous powerful individuals observed the West Frontier Alliance's army, their hearts filled with a slight shock. The West Frontier Alliance's strength was too formidable. Apart from Overlord-level sects, it was unlikely any other force could contend with them.
"Alas! We are all humans, and the demon race watches from the shadows, yet humans are embroiled in internal strife. Is this truly how things should be?"
An old man sighed mournfully. His heart ached for the human race, and he did not wish to witness this scene of internal conflict. Many people felt this way, but their strength was ordinary, and they were utterly incapable of preventing this war.
"Hmph! If anyone is to blame, it's Li Xiaotian. Arrogant and contemptuous of others, he insisted on reclaiming lost territories, forcing the Sixteen Sects to initiate war. In my opinion, Li Xiaotian brought this upon himself."
Someone snorted coldly, their tone filled with disgust and mockery, harboring deep resentment towards the later generations of humans.
"I wonder if Sword Pavilion and Dao Sect will make a move this time? If they don't intervene, Great Qin is definitely going to lose many people!"
"This is all Li Xiaotian's doing, bringing disaster upon himself. He provoked an Overlord and should be prepared for the worst!"
"Dao Sect and Sword Pavilion likely won't intervene. There is a beast tide approaching the South Sea coast, which has already annihilated several sects. I heard there are two Overlord-level Beast Emperors leading them. The experts from Sword Pavilion and Dao Sect have all gone to provide support, so they are probably unable to aid Great Qin this time."
"Alas! If I were Li Xiaotian, I would immediately come forward to confess and prevent this war from erupting. He has caused internal strife among humans for his own selfish gain; he truly deserves to die!"
"That can't be said for sure. The Sixteen Sects' actions were somewhat excessive. Great Qin was merely acting in self-defense."
"Heh, self-defense? To provoke an Overlord in the name of self-defense? To have the ability to annihilate fifty Emperor-level experts overnight? Don't forget, the Heaven Stele is in Li Xiaotian's hands. Perhaps he discovered some secret on the Heaven Stele, which is why he eliminated those fifty Emperor-level experts. Perhaps this is the source of his arrogance!"
Someone spoke with a chilling tone. After their words were uttered, those around them immediately ceased their discussions, their eyes flickering.
Indeed, the Heaven Stele was in Li Xiaotian's possession, a fact many had overlooked. Now that it had been reminded, everyone's hearts were filled with their own hidden agendas.
If Li Xiaotian had truly discovered some secret from the Heaven Stele, it would make sense that he annihilated fifty Emperor-level experts overnight.
Upon considering this, many people's eyes brightened, their breathing unconsciously quickening. Some departed in haste, their intentions unknown.
The onlookers spoke without restraint, allowing Wu Lie, within the chariot, to hear every word. A strange glint flashed in his eyes as he murmured to himself.
"I never imagined that after emerging from seclusion, I would first break through to Overlord, then become the leader of the Sixteen Sects, and now I am about to obtain the Heaven Stele. Heaven truly aids me!"
Wu Lie thought to himself, his expression filled with excitement. Was his luck truly this incredible? Perhaps his awakening this time would lead to even greater achievements!
Could it be that I am the son of destiny in this era? destined to obtain all the opportunities in the world?
The more Wu Lie pondered, the hotter his heart became. Perhaps his guess was correct, otherwise, how could his luck be so good?
With this thought, Wu Lie immediately gave instructions to the Emperor-level martial artists outside the chariot.
"Someone! Relay my command as the Alliance Leader: tell Li Xiaotian to kneel and await my arrival at the forefront, and to offer up the Heaven Stele. I shall grant him a swift death!"
Wu Lie's words were quickly relayed to Great Qin. At this time, Great Qin was also on full alert, with all its armies deployed. Both hot weapons and Dragon God mechs were being utilized without reservation.
Although they knew that someone would be dealing with the Overlord-level expert of the West Frontier Alliance, the remaining members of the West Frontier Alliance still required Great Qin to resist with all its might.
However, this time, Great Qin had the confidence to resist. There were a total of twenty-three Emperor-level martial artists and one hundred and fifty Dragon God mechs! As for King-level martial artists and hot weapons, they were countless.
Unknowingly, Great Qin had grown to a position where no one could easily manipulate them.
Upon hearing Wu Lie's message, Li Xiaotian's eyes flashed with disdain. Asking him to come and surrender? The leader of the West Frontier Alliance clearly had a poor grasp of the situation.
Did he think that because he had dared to make threats before, demanding the other party come to the capital to confess, he would now care about their verbal threats?
"Tell that old fossil that Great Qin has prepared everything and is simply waiting for that old immortal to deliver his head. Tell him to hurry up and get over here!"
Li Xiaotian commanded casually. At this moment, many powerful individuals from various forces were also observing from the sidelines. Upon hearing Li Xiaotian's words, they couldn't help but gasp.
It was conceivable that Wu Lie, upon hearing this, would be enraged. Li Xiaotian provoking an Overlord was essentially forcing the latter into a frenzy of slaughter!
"Enough! Li Xiaotian, let this end here! Stop this nonsense!"
Just then, someone from among the observing experts in the distance shouted. It was Liu Neng of the Desolate Hall. He looked at Li Xiaotian and continued speaking.
"Li Xiaotian, do not become a sinner of humanity! You have caused internal strife among humans and have already made a grave mistake! Take this opportunity to turn back now and cease all of this immediately!"
"Where is the Lord of Qin? I, under the command of the Hall Master of the Desolate Hall, have come specifically to assist Great Qin! To resolve this disaster for Great Qin!"
Liu Neng spoke unhurriedly, his expression filled with righteous indignation.
Li Xiaotian raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, glanced at Liu Neng, and then spoke with a cold tone.
"Scram! Don't force me to kill you!"
As soon as these words were uttered, Liu Neng was instantly stunned. Even the observing experts from the surrounding major forces couldn't help but click their tongues.
Some were seeing Li Xiaotian for the first time. They had heard that Li Xiaotian was arrogant and conceited, and initially, they hadn't believed it. But now, witnessing it firsthand, they immediately believed it.
He was too arrogant to treat an envoy from the Desolate Hall in such a manner!
"Presumptuous!!! Li Xiaotian, do you know what you are doing? I represent the Desolate Hall. Insulting me is insulting the Desolate Hall!"
Liu Neng roared, his face turning red with anger. He was utterly infuriated, never expecting Li Xiaotian to be so dismissive, directly threatening him with death!
"Young man, it's always good to be humble. If you have made a mistake, you should admit it. Now is not the time for you to be headstrong. It is Great Qin's good fortune that the Desolate Hall can offer assistance. Do not fail to cherish it."
An old man from another faction spoke, his tone not unkind. He continued,
"Humans cannot engage in internal conflict and allow the demon race to mock us. The matters between Great Qin and the West Frontier Alliance can be resolved through other means; it doesn't have to be a life-or-death struggle."
