The system gave me immortality, and I survived everyone

"In the Dan Era, no matter what you do, as long as you are not given a kill order, you have the opportunity to negotiate."

"But once a kill order is issued, it means there is absolutely no room for maneuver."

"The question I'm pondering now is: what kind of kill order has the aristocratic family issued?"

"If this is an individual, we still have one last chance."

"If this were directed at all of us, we might as well prepare a coffin for ourselves."

After listening to Li Changsheng's words, Meng De finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Chang Sheng, where did the aristocratic families get four votes in favor?"

"The Immortal Emperor is the founder of the Five Tigers Group. You have close ties with the Cui family, and you are the eldest son of the Li family."

"Under these circumstances, there shouldn't be four votes!"

In response to Meng De's question, Li Changsheng sighed and said, "That's a good question. I still don't understand why there were four votes in favor."

"Back then, the master almost turned the world upside down in the Dan Era, but the aristocratic families did not issue a kill order against him."

"We may have caused a bit of a disturbance, but it doesn't warrant such a brutal attack."

"Have such a death warrant issued by aristocratic families ever appeared in historical records?"

Not even once!

"This rule has always been symbolic; if I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I would have thought these conditions would never be met."

"Fortunately, this kill order was not issued openly, otherwise we would not be facing a few aristocratic cultivators, but an entire army of aristocratic families."

"So you had Long Aotian cover the retreat just to test the target of the kill order, right?"

Zhang Ling, who had been silent all along, finally asked a question.

“Not entirely,” Li Changsheng said. “Having Senior Aotian cover the rear was partly to check out the target of the kill order.”

"Secondly, because Senior Aotian has a better survival ability than us."

“Body cultivators are usually tough and thick-skinned, so even when facing a master like Lu Jun, their chances of survival are very high.”

After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent again.

The feeling of being constantly abandoned is extremely unpleasant.

"Gentlemen, the situation has reached its most critical moment."

"At this point, we should no longer look at this matter with the same old perspective."

"This is not a trial of the academy, nor a secret realm prepared by the family or sect. This is a war to the death."

"Now that we've stepped into this war, we must all be prepared to perish here, including me."

"If anyone wants to withdraw now, it's not too late."

Meng De spoke calmly, but everyone remained silent in the face of his words.

Seeing this, Meng De nodded and said, "Very good. Since no one has quit, let me briefly outline the framework of our team."

"From now on, Li Changsheng and I will jointly command everyone."

“When I don’t issue orders, Li Changsheng’s orders have the highest level.”

"When I issue orders, everyone takes my orders as the standard."

“If anyone questions my orders, we can have an internal meeting.”

"If more than two-thirds of the people oppose it, my order can be overturned."

"At the same time, there is a prerequisite for launching such a veto, which is that everyone must be present, including Shadow."

"Does anyone object to these conditions?"

After he finished speaking, everyone thought for a moment and then expressed their agreement.

"Very good. Since everyone agrees, I will begin the deployment."

"Li Changsheng, among all the geniuses from prominent families, which family's prodigy is the most arrogant?"

Upon hearing this, Li Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "Zheng Xuan!"

"I don't know if this guy is the strongest among his peers, but I know he's definitely the most arrogant."

"Is there any evidence?"

"Have!"

“For core prodigies like my cousin and Lu Jun, who are secretly cultivated, almost all information is top secret.”

"Not many people in the cultivation world know about them, and even fewer know about their cultivation progress and cultivation level."

"But among the five surnames and seven realms, Zheng Xuan has the most information."

"Because this guy has made a move far more often than other secretly trained prodigies."

“I once heard my cousin say that Zheng Xuan was punished by the ancestral tomb for this, so I concluded that this person was extremely arrogant.”

Upon receiving Li Changsheng's reply, Meng De nodded and said, "Very good, then our next goal is to kill him."

"The powerful clans and aristocratic families are immense, but it's impossible to please everyone."

"Since the kill order has been issued for the first time, I believe that not everyone harbors great hatred towards us."

“A considerable number of them are blindly following.”

"If we keep hiding, we'll eventually be boiled to death like frogs in slowly boiling water."

"Therefore, if we want to break this deadlock, we have no choice but to face the challenge head-on."

"Killing Zheng Xuan will not only dampen the morale of the powerful clans, but also intimidate those who blindly follow him."

"We need to scare off some of them so we can have more opportunities."

"At the same time, in order to ensure the success of this encirclement and suppression, I need Zheng Xuan's whereabouts, as well as bait that can lure him into the trap."

"This matter will be handled by Li Changsheng."

Upon hearing this, Li Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "No problem, but I need time and money."

"I will definitely be able to find out Zheng Xuan's whereabouts within six months."

"As for what attracts him, I know where it is."

"I can give you the money, but not the time."

"Six months is too long. We don't have that much time. I can only give you half a month at most."

After saying that, Meng De took out two animal skin bags and threw them to Li Changsheng.

"This is the money I transferred from the Five Tigers Group, with a total value of about 3 billion Shenyuan."

"If that's not enough, I can think of other ways."

That's enough!

Having received Li Changsheng's affirmation, Meng De then turned his gaze to Zhang Ling and the other two.

"Currently, Mo Bai and Sha Ying are missing, and Long Aotian is holding Lu Jun back, so the key to killing Zheng Xuan can only be the three of you."

"True geniuses, besides possessing formidable strength, also have remarkable escape techniques."

"I only have one chance to kill Zheng Xuan, so I need a sturdy cage and a saturation attack."

“Zhang Ling, you are a successor of the Taoist sect, so array formations should be your specialty. You also have the inheritance of the Heavenly Talisman.”

"Can you fulfill those two conditions?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ling thought for a moment and said, "I can give it a try!"

"I don't want that answer; I want absolute certainty."

“If your cage breaks down, we’ll all die.”

In response to Meng De's words, Zhang Ling said seriously, "If I enter the formation with my own body, even if he grows wings, he will not be able to step out of the formation within twelve hours."

"With the addition of the Heaven-Reaching Talisman, even if he has a body of copper and iron, I can still scrape off several pounds of copper dust."
