Chapter 18: A Show of Force?

Wu Rulong was a man of action, and he quickly began a series of operations targeting the Li Clan Dynasty. Within just one month, the Li Clan Dynasty's industries suffered heavy losses.

Upon learning this news, Li Xu Kun’s expression immediately turned extremely grim. He clearly hadn't expected the Wu Clan Commerce to dare to act against his Li Clan Dynasty.

“Something’s not right, absolutely not right. The Wu Clan Commerce dares to act against my Li Clan Dynasty; they must have something to rely on. Perhaps they are just waiting for my Li Clan Dynasty to fall into their trap.”

Li Xu Kun knew deeply that the more critical the situation, the calmer one must be. He couldn't let temporary anger lead to the downfall of the entire Li Clan Dynasty.

Now that the Wu Clan Commerce dared to so arrogantly target his Li Clan Dynasty’s industries, then presumably, there must be a powerful existence behind them, giving the Wu Clan Commerce the confidence to confront him.

Taking a deep breath, Li Xu Kun’s anger was suppressed. He then waved his hand, summoning a servant.

“Make arrangements. I will be visiting the Wu Clan Commerce as a guest in three days.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Wu Clan Commerce, I want to see what kind of demonic entity is truly behind you. It’s best not to be an enemy of my Li Clan Dynasty, otherwise, I won’t mind inviting the Old Ancestor to eliminate you!”

As he spoke, a terrifying Killing Intent erupted from Li Xu Kun’s body. His Peak Stage Saint King Realm cultivation gave him the confidence to do anything.

Meanwhile, Wu Rulong quickly received this news, and a playful expression appeared on his Face.

“Interesting, they still dare to come? If that’s the case, then let’s give them a show of force!”

With the confidence given by his father, Wu Rulong was fearless. Especially since the Anzi had tried to kill him earlier, how could Wu Rulong show any good Face to Li Xu Kun, the mastermind behind it?

Soon, three days had passed. Li Xu Kun stood before the Imperial Palace, waving his large hand. The next second, nine incredibly massive figures flew from afar. They were nine Flood Dragons, and the Qi on their bodies were all at Great Saint Peak.

This was the exclusive vehicle for the Li Clan Dynasty’s ruler’s travels: the Nine Dragon Carrier.

Li Xu Kun’s Divine Thought moved, and the next second, he appeared on the Nine Dragon Carrier. The nine Great Saint Peak Flood Dragons roared, and terrifying Dragon roars echoed throughout the entire Li Clan Dynasty Palace.

They then flew towards the Wu Clan Commerce. If it weren't to give the Wu Clan Commerce a bit of a deterrent, Li Xu Kun would not have used the Nine Dragon Carrier for travel, as the expenses were simply too great.

Beside Li Xu Kun, there were also several Peak Stage Saint King Realm guards accompanying him to the Wu Clan Commerce. Although Great Saint Peak cultivators would be of no use if Li Xu Kun truly encountered a problem he couldn't solve, their primary purpose was for them to act when Li Xu Kun found it inconvenient to do so himself.

After all, what was Li Xu Kun's status? He couldn't possibly do everything himself, could he?

Soon, Li Xu Kun, aboard the Nine Dragon Carrier and surrounded by a group of Peak Stage Saint King Realm guards, arrived at the Wu Clan Commerce. However, upon reaching the entrance of the Wu Clan Commerce headquarters, Li Xu Kun’s expression couldn't help but turn grim.

The entrance of the Wu Clan Commerce looked much the same as usual, clearly not giving any Face to Li Xu Kun’s arrival.

Thinking of this, Li Xu Kun’s heart grew even more furious. “Wu Clan Commerce, you’d better not let me discover that you’re bluffing me, otherwise, I will exterminate the entire Wu Clan Commerce!”

Soon, as a thought crossed Li Xu Kun’s mind, one of the Peak Stage Saint King Realm guards arrived above the Wu Clan Commerce, his voice thundering like rolling thunder.

“Your Majesty has arrived! Why do you, Wu Clan Commerce, not quickly come out to welcome him?”

Originally, Li Xu Kun thought that he had given the Wu Clan Commerce enough Face, and Wu Rulong should also give him some Face by coming out to welcome him. However, he didn't expect there to be no movement at all from within the Wu Clan Commerce.

Just as Li Xu Kun was about to get angry, he saw a figure slowly walk out from within the Wu Clan Commerce. He then looked up at Li Xu Kun and the others in the sky, his expression showing no fear as he spoke.

“Since Your Majesty has arrived, please come in. However, not everyone can follow. Your Majesty can only bring three guards inside.”

The one who stepped out was none other than Wu Qiankun, the third generation of the Wu Family. After receiving news from Wu Rulong, he had come to the Wu Clan Commerce to help.

Of course, Wu Qiankun was actually very nervous after learning that the Li Clan Dynasty was targeting their Wu Clan Commerce. However, after hearing from his father that his grandfather was very powerful and there was no need to worry about a small Li Clan Dynasty, Wu Qiankun dared to step forward.

Of course, Wu Qiankun was currently only a small Soul Transformation Peak cultivator, so he was still a bit afraid when facing Li Xu Kun and the others. After all, any one of Li Xu Kun and the others in the sky could kill him countless times with just a sneeze.

Seeing Wu Qiankun enter, Li Xu Kun’s expression also turned grim. He clearly hadn't expected that even with his personal presence, the Wu Clan Commerce still wouldn't give him any Face.

“Your Majesty, the Wu Clan Commerce is so ungrateful. Why should we give them any Face? Let’s just act directly!”

A Supreme Early Stage martial general accompanying Li Xu Kun had an extremely grim expression. He came before Li Xu Kun and suggested.

However, it was clear that Wu Rulong’s actions made Li Xu Kun even more wary. If he didn't have absolute confidence, how could he dare to be so arrogant?

“Everyone, stand by. Chen Ze, Yuwen Qiang, Wang Feng, you three follow me in!”

The three individuals Li Xu Kun mentioned were all his confidants, with cultivation at Supreme Early Stage.

Upon hearing Li Xu Kun’s words, the others, though unwilling, could only choose to wait outside.

Li Xu Kun, escorted by Chen Ze and the other two, arrived at the entrance of the Wu Clan Commerce and then saw the Wu Clan Commerce’s envoy.

The envoy, with a polite smile, said,

“You must be Your Majesty, right? Your Majesty, please follow me!”

With that, he walked directly towards the depths of the Wu Clan Commerce, and Li Xu Kun and the others could only follow.

Soon, Li Xu Kun and the others arrived at the depths of the Wu Clan Commerce. There, Wu Rulong had already prepared a banquet table. Upon seeing Li Xu Kun, he remained seated in the main seat, a smile on his Face as he said,

“This must be Your Majesty, right? Please, Your Majesty, take a seat.”

“How dare you! Your Majesty has arrived, and you still dare to remain seated?”

Chen Ze was naturally short-tempered. Upon seeing Wu Rulong’s disrespect, he immediately became enraged and was about to act when he was stopped by Li Xu Kun.

“Your Majesty?”

Chen Ze asked in confusion, while Li Xu Kun took a deep breath, his gaze towards Wu Rulong filled with profound depth.

He could sense that although Wu Rulong in front of him was only at Undergoing Tribulation Peak, he carried a faint sense of threat. It was that sense of threat that told Li Xu Kun that Wu Rulong was definitely not simple!
