As Li Xiaotian's order was issued, the next day, everyone in the Dragon King Hall went around the world like madmen searching for the Heavenly Army personnel and their assets. If it weren't for Li Xiaotian's intention to torment the Heavenly Army and the Li family, the Heavenly Army would have become history in just one day.
At the same time, at the Heavenly Army headquarters located in a valley in Europe, the news from various parts of the Heavenly Army almost overloaded the headquarters' phone lines.
Li Bing, the Lord of the Heavenly Army, sat on the throne, looking overwhelmed. In the main hall, the other War God level powerhouses of the Heavenly Army were also present, totaling five including Li Bing. Internationally, they were considered a very powerful force.
However, at this moment, every one of them had a solemn and tense expression because, according to the intelligence they received, the party that had moved against their Heavenly Army was none other than the Dragon King Hall, the undisputed number one power in the world!
A Dragon King Hall they had always looked up to!!
"Why? Why? Who dared to anger the Dragon King Hall?"
Li Bing roared. The thought that the Dragon King Hall was targeting his Heavenly Army filled him with a deep sense of powerlessness.
The Dragon King Hall! The number one power in the world!
They had twenty-eight War God level powerhouses openly present, not to mention some hidden ones. Such a powerful and terrifying Dragon King Hall, if they wished to destroy the Heavenly Army, the Heavenly Army wouldn't even have a chance to resist!
"Immediately send people with gifts to pay respects to the people of the Dragon King Hall. I want to personally meet the Dragon King!" Li Bing ordered. At this moment, he had no idea why the Dragon King Hall had targeted his Heavenly Army.
Meanwhile, in the capital of Da Qin, in a suburb, there was a manor that blended ancient architectural styles with modern elements.
This manor was extremely vast, even containing rockeries and lakes, and its decorations were incredibly luxurious.
Its main gate was even more magnificent, with a total of five gates. The central one was the main entrance, with two side gates on either side.
Outside the main gate, guards stood guard and patrolled everywhere, and in the parking lot not far away, there were countless luxury cars.
The Li Residence! The manor of the Li family in the capital!
Only the Li family, one of the three top aristocratic families in Da Qin, could own such a vast and luxurious manor in the highly coveted capital.
Within the Li family manor, in a small courtyard at the deepest part, an old man sat on a bamboo chair, basking in the sun with a teapot in his hand, listening to a young man behind him relay the latest news received by the Li family.
The Chaotic War Zone, the Dragon King Hall made a move against the Heavenly Army, with unknown motives!!
This was news that caught the attention of all major powers in the Chaotic War Zone, but it did not elicit a significant reaction in this small courtyard.
The young man spoke as if he were discussing a very ordinary matter, and the old man acted as if he were hearing a triviality.
This old man was the Li family patriarch, Li Weihai, a figure of immense standing in the capital and even the entire Da Qin. Although just an old man, he commanded respect from both official circles and major aristocratic families in Da Qin.
Listening to his grandson Li Wenbo, Li Weihai smiled, seemingly unconcerned, and then said.
"The Dragon King Hall, rumored to be the number one power in the Chaotic War Zone. A force that has risen in less than ten years, yet is considerably more powerful than our Heavenly Army, which has been operating for a century. Heh, it seems your second uncle is in trouble this time."
Li Wenbo smiled upon hearing this and replied.
"Grandpa, as the Lord of the Heavenly Army, Uncle will definitely be anxious facing the Dragon King Hall. Otherwise, he wouldn't have rushed the news back home immediately."
"Heh, useless. Just the Dragon King Hall makes him this anxious. The Chaotic War Zone is all about fighting and killing. Even if the Dragon King Hall is ranked number one, with dozens of War God level powerhouses, what does that matter? Your second uncle is still too impatient."
Li Weihai shook his head, appearing completely indifferent. He had some understanding of the Chaotic War Zone; it was merely a collection of people who operated in the shadows, banding together to achieve their clandestine goals. If his Li family were abroad, they might be anxious upon hearing this news, but his Li family was the Li family of Da Qin, and Da Qin was a world-class strong nation. Would the Dragon King Hall, no matter how powerful, dare to challenge a nation?
Li Wenbo did not respond, nor could he. While he agreed with his grandfather's criticism of his uncle, he could not voice it as he was merely a junior.
"Go back and reply to your uncle. Tell him that I had your father contact people from the Da Qin War Department long ago, and they will make the Dragon King Hall behave. He can rest assured," Li Weihai continued, shaking his head and smiling. This minor issue requiring him to pull strings was simply not worth it.
Li Wentao quickly agreed, a smile appearing on his face.
If this scene were witnessed by Li Bing, he would surely be so enraged that he would curse. While some forces in the Chaotic War Zone might not compare to major powers, none of the top three powers in the chaotic world were weaker than major powers.
Although they were merely a regional force, their influence was such that no major power dared to underestimate them. Especially after the Dragon King Hall had annihilated the previous top three powers, the Dragon King Hall now stood alone, its terrifying influence almost unimaginable.
His father saying that the Da Qin War Department should make the Dragon King Hall behave – putting aside the fact that the Da Qin War Department and the Dragon King Hall were allies, even if they weren't, the Da Qin War Department probably wouldn't dare to agree to such a request lightly.
Where did his father's confidence come from?
In truth, it wasn't entirely Li Weihai's fault. His understanding of the Chaotic War Zone was, after all, only superficial. As one of the three top aristocratic families of Da Qin, as long as his Li family did not wish to be destroyed, even the Da Qin official forces might not be able to destroy them.
Therefore, even knowing the strength of the Dragon King Hall, Li Weihai's attitude was simple: how could it be more powerful than Da Qin? Any force, in front of a national apparatus, was like mud.
His Li family had many connections within the Da Qin War Department. Even the First Commander of the War Department, Li Shanhai, was often an honored guest of their Li family. Asking Li Shanhai to send someone to help the Heavenly Army was, in Li Weihai's opinion, a very simple matter.
"Wenbo, you cannot think this matter is simple just because your grandfather is handling it so casually. The Dragon King Hall is, after all, the number one power in the Chaotic War Zone. Although it poses no threat to our Li family, if an ordinary family encountered them, they would likely face complete annihilation."
Li Weihai took a sip of his tea and slowly instructed his grandson behind him. After all, Li Wenbo was destined to become the patriarch of the Li family in the future.
"Understood, Grandpa," Li Wenbo replied humbly, though in his heart, he did not take the Dragon King Hall seriously. After all, it was an overseas power; what could it do to the Li family, which was within Da Qin?
"Yes, you only need to understand a little about the Chaotic War Zone in the future. They are all killers who only know how to fight, with no significant influence. If you are interested later, you can support the Heavenly Army and try to become the world's number one," Li Weihai continued to teach. Li Wenbo behind him listened respectfully. After a while, Li Wenbo would tell Li Weihai some recent interesting events in the capital, such as what happened to the Zhao family.
"Father! Father!" Just as Li Weihai and his grandson were chatting happily, a middle-aged man rushed into the small courtyard, shouting from a distance.
The middle-aged man was Li Zhi, the current patriarch of the Li family, considered the second-in-command of the Li family. In the absence of Li Weihai's word, he was the actual supreme authority of the Li family!
Li Zhi's face was somewhat pale, his forehead even covered in sweat. The entire person was flustered. The moment he thought about the situation he had learned from the War Department, he couldn't help but feel a chill. Since when did the number one power in the Chaotic War Zone possess such great influence?
"What's with this panic? What kind of bearing is this? If the servants see this and it spreads outside, aren't you, the patriarch of the Li family, afraid of being laughed at by others?" Li Weihai reprimanded with a stern face, looking impatient.
"Father! The situation has changed!" Li Zhi, ignoring Li Weihai's reprimand, hurriedly spoke.
"The people from the War Department refused to act. Commander Li even told me to convey a message to you, saying that if the Heavenly Army truly has a grievance with the Dragon King Hall, then our Li family should find ways to plead guilty."
"Lord Li also said that if it were other forces in the Chaotic War Zone, he would have helped them casually. But the Dragon King Hall is different. Even if the Dragon King Hall doesn't possess the strength to destroy a nation now, if they were to truly go to war with Da Qin, they could at least drain half of Da Qin's national strength!"
"Smash!" The teapot in Li Weihai's hand instantly fell to the ground, shattering into pieces. He ignored his beloved teapot becoming fragments and stared at Li Zhi with disbelief, as if he simply couldn't believe what he had heard.
"What did you say? Are you sure what you said is true? Does a mere Dragon King Hall possess such terrifying power? Did Li Shanhai tell you this personally?"
"Yes, Father, it is absolutely true!" Li Zhi nodded quickly. In fact, his first reaction upon hearing these words was disbelief. However, since Li Shanhai said it himself, he had no choice but to believe it.
Normally, because the Li family had the Heavenly Army stationed in the Chaotic War Zone, the people of the Li family did not pay much attention to the development of the Chaotic War Zone and had no idea about the major events that had occurred there over the past few years.
"How is this possible? How is this possible? A Dragon King Hall in the Chaotic War Zone actually has the power to challenge Da Qin?" Li Weihai couldn't recover for a long time. His Li family, an aristocratic family for a thousand years, had worked for generations to become one of the three top families in Da Qin.
And a Dragon King Hall, in just a few years, had become equal to Da Qin, becoming an existence that their Li family had to look up to.
The thought of his previous disdain for the Dragon King Hall made Li Weihai's expression turn somewhat grim. This matter was far beyond his understanding.
"Father!" Li Zhi called out, as he needed Li Weihai to make a decision in such a situation.
"What are you still standing there for? Tell Li Bing to personally go and plead guilty to the Dragon King Hall. Whatever conditions they propose, agree to them!" Li Weihai roared.
