Chapter 293: Chapter 291 War God Li Lingtian [Fourth Update]

Immortal Master Li wielded the power of slaying Ancestor Ximen and the Indian Snake King, commanding the Thousand-Year-Old Divine Dragon, and forcefully swept across Lingnan with overwhelming dominance.

The Martial Arts Families south of the Five Ridges, after hearing Li Chen’s brazen threats, all stiffly came to pay homage to the new overlord of Lingnan.

Several Martial Arts Forces, relying on their remote locations believing the Emperor far away, refused to submit. However, within three days, the Divine Dragon trampled their Mountain Sects, leading to heavy casualties and nearly catastrophic destruction.

Since then, no one dared to risk the complete annihilation of their entire sect by defying Immortal Master Li’s will.

In Lingnan, where the people are fierce and rugged, Martial Arts factions are as numerous as hairs on an ox. Hence, the various powers played their own games, acknowledging no superior over countless years. Additionally, squabbles for dominance among the great powers were incessant.

Even at the zenith of the Mei Family Ancestor’s reign, only the Martial Arts Forces within a few hundred miles of Lingnan City were made to submit.

Now, within a mere three days, Li Chen has become the nominal sovereign of the Great Families and Martial Arts Forces south of the Five Ridges.

Such lightning-fast tactics were truly unprecedented and likely unmatched in a thousand years of Lingnan history.

From this point on, the name of Immortal Master Li once again became renowned across the Five Continents and his might felt across the four seas.

Guangling City, the location of the Heavenly Master Sect’s Mountain Sect:

Several disciples of the Heavenly Master Sect gathered and chattered about the news.

"Have you heard? Not long ago, Immortal Master Li, with his lightning-fast methods, slew Ancestor Ximen and extinguished the Indian Snake King, forcing all the major powers south of the Five Ridges to submit to him and become his lapdogs!"

"Wow, this Immortal Master Li is way too freaky, right? Is he even human? I heard he’s just twenty years old, even younger than us. It’s like comparing goods, you throw away the worse; compare people, you might as well die!"

"You’re right, I thought our senior brother Gongzi Yuu was already badass enough, but I never imagined that he would be turned to dust in seconds in front of Immortal Master Li. Beyond the green mountains is another tower; the young men of the Li Family are truly outstanding."

"Alas, with Immortal Master Li being so defiant of heaven, who among us in the Heavenly Master Sect could be his match? Could Great Elder Xuan Nan possibly stand against him?"

"I doubt it. Looking across our Heavenly Master Sect, probably only the Xuan Tian Sect Leader might have the strength to battle him. Though Great Elder Xuan Nan is indeed a Grandmaster whose Taoist Techniques are profound, compared to the unpredictable Immortal Master Li, he still seems a bit lacking..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly noticed that the faces of his fellow disciples had changed. Thinking they disagreed with his opinion, he raised his voice a notch, defending himself, "Don’t you guys disbelieve, what I’m saying is all true. Great Elder Xuan Nan can’t even defeat the Dragon Family Ancestor, so how could he possibly be a match for Immortal Master Li?"

"Zhao Jia, behind you, behind you..." a well-meaning fellow disciple gestured frantically to him in a low voice.

The disciple named Zhao Jia, puzzled, muttered, "Behind me? What’s wrong with behind me?"

He turned around instinctively and immediately became terrified to the core, a complete mess.

"Great, Great, Great Elder?"

Great Elder Xuan Nan had already returned disheveled two days ago.

Not only did he fail lamentably, but he also lost the Sect Leader Token, the Heavenly Master Token, akin to throwing good money after bad.

He had just received the news that Immortal Master Li, with his lightning-fast tactics, had intimidated the Lingnan Region and became the overlord of the Five Ridges. In his extreme frustration, he decided to take a walk.

But he never expected that he, as the Inner Sect Great Elder and acting Hierarch of the Jiangnan Justice Alliance, would be regarded so poorly by his own disciples.

His face was as dark as storm clouds, his eyes filled with rage, almost spitting fire.

"Zhao Jia, so I’m still a Great Elder in your eyes?"

Zhao Jia, trembling like a sieve and shaking uncontrollably, pleaded,

"Great, Great, Great Elder, I was wrong, I beg for your forgiveness!"

Great Elder Xuan Nan, irritable, waved his hand dismissively and shouted to those around him, "Bring people in, Zhao Jia has spoken ill of his superiors, has committed insubordination; fifty strikes as punishment, and expel him from the Sect!"

Hearing such severe punishment for just blurting out the truth offhand, Zhao Jia instantly felt a great sorrow, collapsing to the ground.

Great Elder Xuan Nan, who had hoped to clear his mind, now felt even more depressed.

Immortal Master Li was growing increasingly powerful, posing a significant threat to the status of the Four Sects of Mystical Sect and the Twelve Martial Arts Sects.

If allowed to continue to grow, it wouldn’t take long for the gate of the Heavenly Master Sect to be trampled under his foot.

Looking across the entire Huaxia, probably only that person in the Imperial Capital could battle Immortal Master Li.

Even his senior brother Xuan Tian might not be a match for that rascal.

With this in mind, Xuan Nan stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the northern sky. His eyes narrowed slightly as he began to murmur to himself.

"I hope Brother Baiyang’s trip will be successful in persuading Li Lingtian. As long as he takes action, that rascal will certainly be beheaded!"

Xuan Nan had little confidence in his senior brother Xuan Tian, yet he had a great deal of confidence in Li Lingtian.

Li Lingtian from the Imperial Capital Li Family, undefeated for thirty years since his debut, is recognized as the Undefeated War God, topping the Heavenly List.

The evaluation given by the Heaven and Earth Alliance, though only a few words long, could not be doubted by anyone.

How many peerless Heavenly Prides had gone to challenge Li Lingtian. But the end result was always the same: a crushing defeat.

Thus, Xuan Nan firmly believed that Immortal Master Li would be no different.

...

Meanwhile, atop the Yan Mountain Peak, two figures were sitting opposite each other, engaged in a game of chess.

The player holding the black pieces was an old man with a goatee. If Li Chen were here, he would recognize him instantly—it was Sunx Baiyang, the Master of Medicine King Valley.

The player with the white pieces was a middle-aged man with a distinctively chiseled face, carrying an effortless aura of dignity, even with a slight smile on his lips. Especially his eyes, deep and sharp, like an eagle in the night—haughty and aloof, giving off a strong sense of arrogance towards the world.

This man was none other than the top of the Heavenly List, the Undefeated War God Li Lingtian!

Sunx Baiyang, playing black, made the first move. Ninety-seven pieces had been placed without a clear winner.

After he set the ninety-eighth piece, he tentatively asked, "Mr. Li, you must have heard about Immortal Master Li’s matters, right?"

Li Lingtian nodded slightly, signaling that he was informed.

Sunx Baiyang looked up at Li Lingtian’s face and tentatively asked, "Mr. Li, what do you think about the formidable rise of Immortal Master Li?"

Li Lingtian placed a white piece on the side and replied with a faint smile, "It’s better to stay still than to move recklessly. Just watch and see how things unfold!"

Seeing that Li Lingtian had no intention of taking action, Sunx Baiyang couldn’t help feeling anxious.

He then placed his ninety-ninth piece heavily on the southeast corner of the board, circling around the white pieces with intent.

If the chessboard were a map of Huaxia, that southeast direction would correspond to the region south of Wuling. Xuan Nan’s move was to remind Li Lingtian of Immortal Master Li’s wild ambition, as well as the perilous situation facing the Li Family.

However, Li Lingtian looked completely unaware of the imminent danger. Instead, he clapped his hands and laughed, praising, "Brother Baiyang, that move was exquisite. I truly admire it, admire it!"

Seeing this, Sunx Baiyang became even more anxious. He stroked his silver beard, his eyes fixed on the chessboard of black and white, and got straight to the point.

"Mr. Li, Immortal Master Li has dominated south of the Yangtze River, and now he has been unanimously revered by Wuling as their leader. Once his power is fully consolidated, he will surely march north with the victory at his back. By then, the Li Family’s territory might be completely eroded by him. When that time comes, how will you respond?"

Faced with Sunx Baiyang’s direct inquiry, Li Lingtian could not avoid it. After looking carefully at the board, he smiled and asked, "Oh, then Brother Baiyang, what do you suggest I should do?"

Sunx Baiyang pondered for a moment and then squeezed out four words through his teeth: "Strike first to gain the upper hand!"

Li Lingtian thought for a moment and then said solemnly, "Brother Baiyang makes sense. However, I have some urgent matters to deal with in the next few days and can’t spare the effort right now!"

Sunx Baiyang’s narrowed eyes showed a flash of surprise.

But soon, this surprise flickered away.

He looked at the chessboard again and said, "Since Mr. Li has important matters to attend to, I won’t bother you any further. Another day, we shall have another game!"

Li Lingtian did not insist on him staying, instead offering an apologetic smile.

As Sunx Baiyang’s figure turned into a black dot and disappeared completely into the vast wilderness, Li Lingtian suddenly took out a white piece and placed it directly in the central palace.

If Sunx Baiyang had not already left, he would have been greatly surprised.

This move by Li Lingtian was like undermining the foundation of a cooking pot—a strategy that could turn the tide in an instant, switching the roles of offense and defense, and reversing the entire situation.
