Chapter 1250: Chapter 1222: Hongng Pavilion’s Terms
Li Chen felt a bit surprised.
This was the second major figure he had encountered.
A truly significant person.
The Pavilion Master of Hongng Pavilion, what a high and mighty position is that? If, in the past, Hongng Pavilion wasn’t considered particularly noteworthy among martial artists, now it’s truly a towering mountain standing between martial artists and the major forces.
Moreover, this mountain is quite active; in recent tis, Hongng Pavilion has used its power to prove that this ti, it won’t be the easygoing diator it once was.
With decisive actions, it has intimidated all the martial artists, maintaining stability in Huaxia.
And all these decisions ca from this middle-aged man who appeared like a scholar.
Even without ntioning the man’s identity, if encountered outside, Li Chen could see that this person was definitely soone in high authority.
Because the aura unique to those in power was impossible to hide from him.
Even now, when Li Chen stood before people, they could see the extraordinary nature about him, let alone this Pavilion Master of Hongng Pavilion.
“Luoo… Elder, may I ask what matters bring you to this ti?”
Li Chen cautiously avoided Luoo Tianxiao’s earlier words, not really considering him as soone he could trust as a friend due to his words.
Although Hongng Pavilion now counts as one of the top forces among martial artists, Li Chen understood that the more one dealt with such forces, the more careful one needed to be, as perhaps a single misstep would lead to being consud without a trace.
“Haha…” Luoo Tianxiao laughed lightly, devoid of any sternness expected of the Pavilion Master, and sat down beside Li Chen.
“It’s okay if you don’t want to call uncle; among martial artists, power speaks. We are both Earth-Level Warriors, indeed we can speak on equal terms,” Luoo Tianxiao said with a smile.
Li Chen smiled silently, waiting for Luoo Tianxiao’s next words.
He believed that this Pavilion Master of Hongng Pavilion would not seek him out without a reason.
Even though the Palace of the Nether King had indeed built so reputation, it was far from comparable to Hongng Pavilion.
In many martial artists’ eyes, perhaps the Palace of the Nether King’s fa was due to Hongng Pavilion’s care.
But the actual situation, both Li Chen and Luoo Tianxiao were well aware of.
“Li Chen, I won’t waste words; I ca this ti to indeed discuss so matters.” Luoo Tianxiao began.
“Regarding what matter?” Li Chen asked.
“Concerning… the matter of Palace of the Nether King joining under Hongng Pavilion.” Luoo Tianxiao’s smile remained unchanged, and he spoke calmly.
Li Chen’s expression changed slightly, then he lowered his voice: “If it’s about this matter, then I can only offer Master Luoo my apologies.”
Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Luoo Tianxiao rely waved his hand, then smiled and said, “I know, Palace of the Nether King was built single-handedly by you, and handing it over is naturally undesirable. But, would you be willing to listen to the conditions I propose?”
“Conditions?” Li Chen’s heart stirred.
Although Li Chen knew he would not hand over the Palace of the Nether King no matter what, he was indeed curious about Luoo Tianxiao’s words, eager to know what conditions he might offer to sway him.
“Before I present my conditions, I’d like to ask you one thing.” Luoo Tianxiao looked calmly at Li Chen, then asked, “Do you know about your current situation?”
“My situation?” Li Chen was taken aback, then realized.
Of course, he knew his current situation; indeed, he was more aware than anyone else, but the fact that Hongng Pavilion also knew about his situation unspokenly revealed certain facts.
“You’re deliberate?” Li Chen’s voice turned sowhat cold.
“No, no, no!” Luoo Tianxiao waved his hand and said, “Of course we aren’t deliberate, nor are we targeting you. While the Palace of the Nether King is indeed decent now, it’s still an exaggeration to say we’re targeting it deliberately.”
“Moreover, our purpose at Hongng Pavilion is to maintain peace among Huaxia martial artists and ensure martial artists do not disturb ordinary people.”
So, to put it bluntly, you and your Palace of the Nether King don’t really have anything worth us targeting,” Luoo Tianxiao said, his voice carrying a barely perceptible arrogance.
“This martial arts conference was originally intended to be held, and as for whether you choose to participate, that’s entirely up to you,” Luoo Tianxiao said. “Think about it, no one has forced you to co, right?”
Li Chen pondered, then nodded.
Luoo Tianxiao’s words were quite accurate; from start to finish, nobody had forced him to participate—it was his own untad curiosity that led him here.
However, to say Hongng Pavilion hadn’t played a role in this, Li Chen would not believe it.
“Your current situation should be sothing you are most aware of. Let’s not ntion Holy Mountain as a significant enemy eyeing you fiercely; the enemies of the Li Family from years ago are not few either,” Luoo Tianxiao said with a deep aning.
“Moreover, I noticed, apart from Lieu Zhanxiao, another opponent of your father from years ago seems to have also arrived,” Luoo Tianxiao slowly continued.
“Feng Yizhu?” Li Chen softly uttered the na.
Unsurprisingly, Luoo Tianxiao nodded.
“However, as long as you are willing to bring the Palace of the Nether King under our Hongng Pavilion, as one of Hongng Pavilion’s new bases, all these problems can be solved.” Luoo Tianxiao’s tone shifted, stating.
“Although these people are not to be ssed with, likewise, Hongng Pavilion is not easily provoked. With Hongng Pavilion’s protection, they wouldn’t dare to act rashly!” Luoo Tianxiao spoke, resolutely looking at Li Chen.
Li Chen’s heart began to fiercely struggle.
The Palace of the Nether King was his lifeti’s effort, yet the current problems faced were indeed unsolvable.
Even dealing with a single Lieu Zhanxiao and Holy Mountain was challenging enough; adding another potentially formidable Feng Yizhu, and those who held grudges against the Li Family may all be present. Such circumstances, even Li Chen himself didn’t know how to confront.
If it were just him alone, he might have rushed headlong into danger; but the trouble was, apart from him, Lin Yi and others were also there. Even Li Chen didn’t know how to face such peril.
As Luoo Tianxiao said, agreeing to Luoo Tianxiao’s conditions to join Hongng Pavilion was indeed his best option.
However, likewise, once agreed to Hongng Pavilion, it likely wouldn’t be long before his Palace of the Nether King would also cease to exist.
After hesitating for a long ti, Li Chen slightly raised his head to look at Luoo Tianxiao, making a difficult decision.
