The entire East Mountain was filled with joyous celebration, with gongs and drums resounding. The Li family hosted a grand banquet to welcome back their Heavenly Army warriors.
Concurrently, the major aristocratic families in the capital were all paying close attention to the Li family's movements. Some were shocked by the scale of the Li family's event today, others were envious, and some regretted not having curried favor with the Li family earlier.
After all, the sudden appearance of three War Gods and five thousand Heavenly Army warriors in the Li family today was something unprecedented in the capital.
The fact that a single aristocratic family could command such formidable power demonstrated just how deep the Li family's foundations were.
"Today's Li family will be forever remembered by all families in the capital. The Li family is the role model for us, their example is truly astonishing!" exclaimed the head of an aristocratic family.
"Three War Gods, five thousand generals, this power is too terrifying. If the Li family were to go mad, I estimate at least half of the families in the capital would be annihilated within a day!"
"So powerful, no wonder the Li family could destroy the Zhao family overnight. It turns out such a matter was nothing to the Li family."
"Alas! It seems no one can do anything to the Li family anymore. This matter of the Zhao family's annihilation will likely be forgotten in a few days! Heh heh!"
"I wonder what Li Xiaotian's current state of mind is? Perhaps the Li family's sudden surge in strength has left him somewhat flustered?"
"If I were Li Xiaotian, I would have fled the capital by now. No, I would have fled the entire Great Qin and found a remote place to hide for a few years."
"Heh heh, I doubt that. The Li family would absolutely not let Li Xiaotian escape. In three days, let's all watch the show!"
"That's true. Li Xiaotian was too presumptuous before. Letting him fight the Li family, we can just watch it as a good show!"
"Fight? Does Li Xiaotian even deserve to fight the Li family? The Li family now has three War Gods and five thousand generals. To put it crudely, Li Xiaotian's final outcome will be such that even wishing to commit suicide will be a futile dream. In three days, Li Xiaotian will be like a clown, at the mercy of the Li family!"
The heads of the major aristocratic families in the capital discussed amongst themselves. In their eyes, Li Xiaotian had not even a sliver of a chance of winning against the current Li family.
However, compared to the Li family's lively and ostentatious display, the Dragon Palace Hotel, where Li Xiaotian was located, appeared exceptionally calm.
Unbeknownst to many, all intelligence personnel of the Great Qin War Department were closely monitoring the movements of the Dragon Palace Hotel. As for the Li family's side, they had only assigned a junior staff member to keep an eye on things casually.
This was because, on this very day, a great many people had been arriving at the Dragon Palace Hotel sequentially. These individuals had entered the capital through normal channels, and their identities were the various commanders of the Dragon King Hall!
The twenty-seven team commanders of the Dragon King Hall, and the four commanders of the Dark Department, a total of thirty-one peak War God level powerhouses, had all arrived!
Previously, a head of an aristocratic family had said that if the Li family went mad, at least half the families in the capital would be destroyed. But if Li Xiaotian went mad, all the families in the capital would be wiped out!
Therefore, the War Department was extremely tense about the activities at the Dragon Palace Hotel at this moment, daring not to divert their attention in the slightest.
Even Li Shanhai was waiting not far from the Dragon Palace Hotel. Although he knew Li Xiaotian would not act recklessly, it was better to be safe than sorry!
He dared not gamble, and neither did the Great Qin War Department!
At this moment, in a certain hall of the Dragon Palace Hotel, all the War God level powerhouses of the Dragon King Hall stood in silence, not a sound being made.
Li Xiaotian, accompanied by Long Yi, slowly entered the hall. All the War Gods' gazes instantly converged on Li Xiaotian.
"Greetings, my King!" The thirty-one War God level powerhouses immediately knelt on one knee and shouted in unison, each filled with fighting spirit, their auras like a rainbow.
"My King! All War Gods of the Dragon King Hall are in position! In addition, three thousand Dragon King Hall warriors have entered the capital in batches. They have been dispersed and settled, awaiting the King's summons at any moment!" Long Yi said with a solemn expression.
"You have all worked hard!" Li Xiaotian spoke, waving his hand to signal everyone to rise, and then continued.
"Ten years ago, when I, Li Xiaotian, appeared in the war zone, I was empty-handed, with nothing. But now, I have brothers like you who have gone through life and death together. I am very happy and content!"
Upon hearing Li Xiaotian's words, everyone present showed a smile. Among them were those much older than Li Xiaotian, and some younger.
At this moment, everyone recalled the scenes of their first encounters with Li Xiaotian. Some had been enemies with Li Xiaotian before, some had been saved by Li Xiaotian on the battlefield, and some had been drawn to Li Xiaotian's character.
"Submit or die!" Long Yi smiled silently. Back then, he was still someone who robbed others in the war zone, leading a dozen men, wandering everywhere. When he met Li Xiaotian, the latter was alone and dared to challenge all of them.
Of course, in the end, they were all defeated by Li Xiaotian and chose to submit.
"You will be Long San from now on, follow me, and together we will conquer the world!"
Back then, Long San was a subordinate of one of Li Xiaotian's opponents. During a major battle between the two sides, Li Xiaotian's opponent fled, leaving only Long San to fight on. Li Xiaotian took a liking to him and eventually subdued him. From then on, Long San followed Li Xiaotian, and Li Xiaotian never disappointed him.
"What if you four are women? In ancient times, there were female emperors, and there are also stories of women surpassing men in bravery. From now on, you are the four commanders of the Dark Department. Trust me, from now on, no organization in the world, upon hearing your names, will not tremble in fear."
This was Li Xiaotian's promise to the four commanders of the Dark Department: Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju. Now, he had fulfilled it.
"Join the Dragon King Hall and become Long Twelve. Your revenge is the revenge of all your brothers in the Dragon King Hall! We will avenge you together!"
"You want to become the number one War God? Very well, follow me, and I can make you the second in the world!" - Long Fifteen! The second strongest in the Dragon King Hall!
"I'm here to inform you of one thing. Our Dragon King Hall wishes to expand, and we have our eyes on your territory. You can try to resist, but you will die a miserable death!" - Long Sixteen!
Everyone in the hall was smiling. Since they had followed Li Xiaotian, the achievements of each of them were unimaginable before.
It could be said that their current status was all thanks to Li Xiaotian, their King!
"You are my confidence. Ten years ago, my parents were murdered, and my brother died in my place. I have endured this hatred for ten years!!" Li Xiaotian's voice was low, but his words struck the hearts of everyone in the hall like a thunderclap!
Boom, boom, boom!! Everyone in the hall erupted with terrifying ferocity and anger at this moment!
Although they had long suspected the enmity between Li Xiaotian and the Li family, after Li Xiaotian personally told them, they were enraged!
Their King had fulfilled their dreams for all of them, his revenge was successful, yet his own hatred remained unresolved! They hadn't even thought about this matter before!
"The King's hatred is the brothers' hatred!" Long Yi shouted, his eyes bloodshot.
