Chapter 91 Intimidation

"you……!"

Zhong Qingcang's pupils contracted, his eyes flashing with shock and anger, yet he found it difficult to refute.

Shen He didn't give him a chance to refute, and once again uttered a heart-wrenching sentence: "But you can't be entirely blamed. Perhaps after your destiny ended, they made you sign some kind of contract, thus becoming subject to others and unable to control your own destiny, unlike Li Taiyi, whose destiny dissipated and whose spirit beast died in battle, leaving him without even the right to sign a contract or be coerced or tempted."

"..."

Faced with these hurtful words, Zhong Qingcang's eyes remained cold, offering no rebuttal, only clenching his fists tightly beneath his sleeves.

"enough!"

Instead, the old man in black beside him spoke up: "Where did you hear these conspiracy theories? And you're using them to slander your teacher and the Holy City of Spirit Control? It's utterly outrageous!"

Whether it's slander or not, the facts will prove it!

Shen He remained calm, staring at him indifferently: "I dare to predict that even if the Wu Kingdom occupies a quarter of the continent's land and more than a quarter of its population in the future, when darkness reappears, no Heavenly Spirit Master will appear within the Wu Kingdom's borders."

"you……!"

Upon hearing this, the old man in black was filled with shock and anger, and for a moment he did not know how to respond.

"enough!"

Finally, Zhong Qingcang took over the conversation, staring coldly at Shen He: "You are not Li Taiyi, so what exactly are you?"

Shen He smiled: "Didn't I say? I am Li Qingshan!"

"Li Qingshan?"

"Good good!"

Zhong Qingcang's eyes narrowed: "I'll assume you're Li Qingshan. Since you know the origin of the Dark Demon King Beast, you should understand that if the entire continent is plunged into war, countless people will suffer."

"These countless victims will provide Dark Demon Beast with power, an incomparably powerful power, allowing it to break the seal and reappear in the world."

"The seal has only lasted for a hundred years, and the power of destiny has not yet recovered. Once the Dark Demon King Beast reappears in the world, death and destruction await the Spirit Control Continent!"

Having said that, his gaze, sharp as a sword, pierced straight at Shen He: "Is this the result you wanted, Li Qingshan!?"

"what!"

Shen He smiled and said nothing.

Seeing this, the old man in black also spoke up: "Li Taiyi, I know you hate the nobles and I understand your actions, but everything must be for the sake of the overall situation. Your extreme and radical approach will only bring destruction to the Spirit Continent."

"Not bad!"

Another person chimed in: "We understand your plight and allow you to establish your own kingdom and make your own laws in the Eastern Continent. Whether you eliminate nobles or do other things, it's all up to you. But you cannot bring the flames of war to the entire continent."

"The Spirit Control Era spans 13,000 years and has witnessed countless Spirit Control Masters. Among them are those who, like you, came from humble backgrounds, but they did not act as radically or extremely as you. This is because they knew that such a approach was not advisable."

"They, like Lord Zhong Qingcang, are acting for the greater good, for the Yuling Continent, and for the continuation and survival of the human race, not because they signed some kind of contract, were coerced or tempted, and had no choice in the matter, as you said."

“We understand that you feel wronged and angry because of what you have experienced, and you want to take revenge and eliminate the nobles. That’s why we have allocated the Eastern Continent to you as compensation.”

"But you've gone too far, attempting to drag the entire Spirit Control Continent into an abyss of darkness and death. You are certainly not the Li Taiyi of yesteryear!"

"You have been blinded by anger and hatred, becoming a lackey and accomplice of the Dark Demon Beast. No, perhaps it wasn't just the Ancient Dragon King who sacrificed himself back then, but also you—Li Taiyi!" An old man's gaze was like a sword, revealing a chilling killing intent: "The power of the Dark Demon Beast has corrupted you. You have become an avatar of the Dark Demon Beast, attempting to start a great war and break its seal!"

"This……"

These words shocked Dongfang Bai and the other successors of the Heavenly Mandate, while only the nine previous Heavenly Mandates remained calm and composed, clearly having already suspected this.

Finally, another person stepped forward and said loudly to him, "Taiyi, I know you hate me. If my death can quell your anger and bring peace and tranquility to the Spirit Control Continent, then you can kill me now, and I will absolutely not resist!"

The speaker is none other than the current emperor of the land, and the former leader of the Friendship Chapter—He Yanfeng.

"Yan Feng!"

Upon seeing He Yanfeng step forward and utter such words, Yin Nianyun and the other successors of the Heavenly Mandate Spirit Masters were all startled and hurriedly followed him to his side, looking at Shen He with wary expressions.

"what!"

However, Shen He didn't even glance at them, only looking at Zhong Qingcang and the other former chosen ones: "Turning black into white, calling a deer a horse, with people like you, it's no wonder that the intervals between the appearances of the Dark Demon King Beast are getting shorter and shorter."

After saying that, he shifted his gaze to the few former chosen ones who had not spoken out against him: "You possess such power, have you never thought of making any changes to this world, of bringing more light and justice, and less darkness and oppression?"

"you……!"

The old man in black's eyes narrowed, and he was about to continue fabricating charges.

"We've thought about it!"

Unexpectedly, a woman spoke up, taking the initiative in the conversation: "But we shouldn't use such a radical and extreme method. We have already given you the Eastern Continent. You can do whatever you want. I can promise you on behalf of the Holy City of Spirit Control and the three kingdoms that we will gradually change things and do our best to eliminate the hidden dangers of darkness!"

"No, you cannot change it!"

Upon hearing this, Shen He shook his head and turned to look at the old man in black and the group of Fate Spirit Masters who had labeled him a Dark Demon Beast: "Tell me, how can people like you change?"

"this……!"

The woman hesitated, unsure how to respond.

"Only death!"

Shen He asked and answered himself, then pressed the crowd: "You say I am the Dark Demon King Beast, fine, I'll give you that opportunity. It will take some time for the Martial Kingdom to unify the Eastern Continent. You can go back and train a new generation of Destiny Spirit Masters to challenge me, the new Dark Demon King Beast!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, filled with astonishment and doubt.

But someone quickly realized what was happening, and the old man in black shouted, "You think you can stall for time? Do you think we'll give you that chance?"

"wrong!"

Shen He chuckled coldly: "I'm giving you a chance. If you're unwilling to accept it, you can try now and see if the destiny of the past can defeat the newly born demon king!"

As he spoke, he clenched his fist, activated his martial arts golden core, and unleashed a dragon's roar and a tiger's howl. A terrifying pressure emanated from within, pressing down on the seventeen Heavenly Fates and the nine Great Emperor Spirits.
