The moment when the finger is about to fall.
In some narrow rooms, the sudden surge of spiritual power exploded into pure and sharp sword energy.
The sword energy was densely packed, and the edge spread in every corner of the room. The coffee table, chairs, dining table, and tea completely exploded, and water splashed in the air. For a moment, it seemed as if everything in the room had become a sword, and they all rushed towards it. Li Tianlan.
"What the hell do you want to do?! Li Tianlan, if you dare to use Hua Wu, I will definitely make you pay the price!"
Angry and suppressed roars echoed in the room, and Li Kuangtu's body rushed towards him at the same time as the flying sword energy.
Li Tianlan's body moved.
A slight civility sounded in the room.
A transparent vortex of air rotated rapidly with Li Tianlan as the center. The sword energy rushing from behind all penetrated into the vortex and became part of the vortex. The transparent vortex expanded and hit Li Kuangtu hard at the edge. body, and directly swept his body away.
The expanding vortex enveloped half of the room, and also enveloped Li Huacheng, who was standing next to Li Tianlan.
Li Kuangtu's face was pale as his body was hit hard against the wall, but his face turned red instantly. He stared at Li Tianlan with a distorted expression, filled with overwhelming anger.
"Look, look, he's in a hurry."
Li Tianlan pointed at Li Kuangtu and said to Li Huacheng.
The corners of Li Huacheng's mouth twitched and he said nothing.
He squinted his eyes and looked at the bright screen in front of him quietly.
The huge screen is clear and bright, perfectly presenting the bedroom on the other side of the screen in front of several people.
There was also Li Tianlan on the screen. He was standing in front of the crib. He stretched out his finger and gently tapped the sleeping baby's face.
The child, who was only over two years old, moved and turned over in a daze, but did not wake up. Instead, he stretched out two chubby little hands in his sleep and hugged Li Tianlan's fingers.
On and off the screen, a smile appeared on the corners of the two Li Tianlan's mouths at the same time.
"No matter how complicated the grievances between you and me are, I won't take action against a child. Why are you nervous?"
Li Tianlan slowly turned around and glanced at Li Kuangtu.
Li Kuangtu snorted and reluctantly stood up.
His physical condition is extremely poor. He has never recovered from the serious injuries he suffered in the chaos in the Snow Country. He was even more seriously injured in the decisive battle at Beihai. Later, he participated in the battle to siege Li Tianlan. If Xuanyuan Wushang hadn't taken action himself after he was captured, Now Kuangtu Li won't even wake up.
It has been more than a month since he was captured. Li Kuangtu has been trying to recover from his injuries, and the effect is naturally there. However, after he reluctantly took action just now, his injuries suddenly worsened again.
"What do you want?"
Li Kuangtu looked into Li Tianlan's eyes and asked.
Li Tianlan's expression was very peaceful, and his eyes seemed to be deep and empty.
Just looking at Li Tianlan's expression now, he couldn't catch anything. If he hadn't been extremely familiar with Jian Twenty-Four, Kuangtu Li wouldn't even be sure that what was left in the East Palace was just a sword aura clone.
Xuanyuan City, Tiandu City.
The two cities are hundreds of kilometers apart.
Li Tianlan's true body went to Tiandu Purgatory, but the sword avatar can still move around in the East Palace. The most exaggerated thing is that the two parties are obviously connected with each other. In other words, Li Tianlan's true body knows what happened here and every word he said. , it was equivalent to Li Tianlan using this sword energy clone to communicate with him across a distance of hundreds of kilometers.
In a sense, this is no longer something that can be explained by pure martial arts. Not to mention that he has not broken through yet, even if Li Tianlan really enters that supreme realm, it is impossible to achieve this.
Now that the main body and the clone are so far apart but still connected to each other, the only explanation is because Wuqing, or Xuanyuan Feng is here.
The ruthless energy has bottomed out, but it is not gone at all. Its remaining energy is enough to stimulate the activity on the sword body, and then carry Li Tianlan's sword energy, forming a special sword energy clone.
Being able to achieve this step also proves that Xuanyuan Feng and Li Tianlan can no longer be said to have a simple relationship between humans and swords.
The bond between one person and one sword is constantly deepening, and now Xuanyuan Feng can almost be said to be a part of Li Tianlan's body.
Li Tianlan picked up the remote control and turned off the screen in front of him.
In Tiandu Purgatory hundreds of kilometers away, apart from Li Tianlan, Li Kuangtu and Li Huacheng could no longer see what would happen next.
Li Kuangtu's heart sank slightly.
"What do I want? Am I not clear enough?"
Li Tianlan said in a calm voice: "I want Tiandu Purgatory. Now I can let you go. After returning to Tiandu Purgatory headquarters, I announced that Tiandu Purgatory was officially merged into the East Palace. The overall weave of Tiandu Purgatory will be retained, and I will only draw a part of it. The core personnel enter the East Palace. From now on, you can become the first deputy palace master of the East Palace, and at the same time, you will be in purgatory in Tiandu.
I am still under your leadership. The East Palace will not interfere with the development of Tiandu Purgatory on weekdays, but when necessary, Tiandu Purgatory will have me as the leader and the East Palace as the respecter. As long as the East Palace exists for one day, the name Tiandu Purgatory will exist for one day. After your death, Huawu will completely inherit Tiandu Purgatory and maintain a high degree of freedom. "
After a pause, Li Tianlan continued: "I don't like twisty things, and I don't like negotiations. But after knowing your existence, I have always wanted to talk to you. If I haven't seen you before, I just want to ignore you. I hope you can calm down. Between you and me, there is no need to play the trick of asking for high prices and paying back the money on the spot. I gave the conditions. This is my bottom line. Before my grandfather died, he asked me to take charge of the Li family, so I have the obligation to All the power of the Li family is in his hands. Tiandu Purgatory must be merged into the East Palace. According to me, you are talking about other things, and I won’t agree. What I can make the decision is what I tell you, and the future of the East Palace. pattern."
In Li Kuangtu's silence, Li Tianlan simply summed it up: "If I were Zhongzhou, you would be Beihai."
This was Li Tianlan's attitude. It was clear and unambiguous, without any leeway and aggressive, but it also gave Li Kuangtu enough space.
What he wants is the integrity of the Li family, to conquer Tiandu Purgatory, and to conquer Kuangtu Li.
But he will not interfere too much in the internal affairs of Tiandu Purgatory and give Tiandu Purgatory a high degree of freedom. However, in name, Tiandu Purgatory must belong to the East Palace and become an affiliated force of the East Palace. And when necessary, that is, When faced with external enemies, Tiandu Purgatory must cooperate with the East Palace to deal with the outside world.
It is equivalent to the relationship between Central Continent and Beihai Province today.
It's just that when these conditions are listed one by one, the restrictions imposed by the East Palace on Tiandu Purgatory are more restrictive than those imposed by Zhongzhou on Beihai, but these extra restrictions are for better control of Tiandu Purgatory.
In other words, as long as the Tiandu Purgatory is dominated by the Li family and the East Palace is dominated, the Tiandu Purgatory will be highly free.
Under this condition, Li Tianlan felt that he had fulfilled his benevolence and righteousness, and the conditions in all aspects were also mature.
The East Palace has been fully developed. Now is the era of the East Emperor. Spreading out in front of everyone in the East Palace is a picture of a splendid country, Central Continent, Tiannan, East Island, Europe, and America. Time is passing. The shadow of the Eastern Palace will permeate the whole world over time. Such an Eastern Palace, whether it is influence, talent reserves, high-end combat power, wealth or intelligence channels, has completely suppressed Tiandu Purgatory.
And Li Tianlan himself has reached the top of the God List. The siege also fully demonstrated that Li Tianlan's personal combat power has completely surpassed Li Kuangtu. Looking at the Li family for hundreds of years, Li Tianlan can now be said to be the strongest one. Patriarch.
Moreover, he has now captured Kuangtu Li, controls his life and death, and controls the life and death of his children.
Under such circumstances, he gave Li Kuangtu his own conditions. If Li Kuangtu still refused to accept it, he would basically not change his attitude no matter what the situation was in the future.
This was the final negotiation between the two branches of the Li family, and Li Huacheng was the witness.
Moreover, Li Tianlan also gave conditions that were not difficult to accept.
Including what he just told Li Kuangtu, Tiandu Purgatory's high degree of freedom after joining the East Palace, and his status in the East Palace.
The first deputy palace master of the East Palace is completely inferior to Li Tianlan and above ten thousand people. With Li Tianlan's temperament, since he is given this position, it is impossible not to dare to give him the responsibilities he should bear. Therefore, Li Kuangtu simply cannot There is no need to worry that you will have no real power in the Eastern Palace.
There are currently three deputy palace masters in the East Palace.
Saints, hidden gods and Li Xi.
what does that mean
First of all, the saint used to be the senior brother of Shushan, and the four great sword masters of Shushan. Although they have different positions now, they have very good personal relations with each other. Now the master of the phantom sword Yun Qinxi is in Tiandu Purgatory. If Li Kuangtu is willing to join the East Palace, with his Regarding Yun Qinxi's relationship, Saint would not take the initiative to make things difficult for Li Kuangtu. Likewise, Li Baitian would not take the initiative to make things difficult for Li Kuangtu.
Situ Cangyue, the Hidden God of Central Continent, was Li Kuangtu's confidante many years ago. She now chooses to side with Li Tianlan. After Li Kuangtu joins, no matter whether the two can get back together, the old friendship will always remain. Yes, Situ Cangyue will support Li Kuangtu to a certain extent as long as it does not violate his principles.
Li Xi is even more complicated. The grievances between her and Li Kuangtu are enough to fill a book. But if they are really in the same camp, Li Xi doesn’t say whether she will fully support Li Kuangtu. At least she won’t. I can't get along with him.
Such a situation can be said to be a great one. As long as Li Kuangtu is willing to come and take Tiandu Purgatory with him, he will not have to worry about whether he can gain a foothold in the East Palace. He can quickly establish his prestige in the East Palace and follow the trend. Together with Li Tianlan, they worked together to make the East Palace better, allowing the Li family to surpass the peak of the past hundreds of years and create a new situation.
The senior officials of the East Palace will not embarrass him. With Tiandu Purgatory in hand and his own strength, he can become a super heavyweight in the East Palace, his status is only lower than Li Tianlan.
Most importantly, also
It was the condition that Li Tianlan didn't tell him, but he heard through the screen.
Dongcheng is his daughter.
The future children of Li Tianlan and Dongcheng Ru will inherit the Li family name.
If Li Tianlan is an outsider, then the child born in this way by Dongcheng can definitely be regarded as the blood of the Li family.
With all these things in mind, what else could Kuangtu Li be dissatisfied with
Li Kuangtu was silent, seeming to be thinking.
But there was silence in his eyes.
Li Tianlan waited patiently for five minutes before calmly saying: "Agree or reject?"
"You're not going to kill me, right?"
Li Kuangtu suddenly laughed. He looked at Li Huacheng, who was silent all the time: "President, he won't kill me, right?"
Li Huacheng, who had been watching silently, chuckled and said nothing.
Naturally, he wanted to save Kuangtu Li's life.
But if you say this now, it is undoubtedly like making the decision for Li Tianlan.
It's time like this, how could Li Huacheng make such a mistake
"We all understand."
Li Kuangtu's smile gradually widened: "Although I don't know what is happening in the outside world, I know that the president has been living here for a while. What is worthy of him?"
He looked at Li Tianlan and said calmly: "I ask myself that it still has some value, so if I guess correctly, the president is here for me, right? He wants you to let me go? And you don't plan to let me go. , so you have a conflict?"
Li Tianlan didn't speak, just looked at him silently.
"So as long as the president is still there, it means that the parliament is useful to me, so you don't dare to kill me."
Li Tianlan still didn't speak.
Today he and Li Huacheng came to see Li Kuangtu. Naturally, it was not a sudden inspiration, but it was the first time Li Huacheng came to see him after living here for so long, and seriously raised his request to see Li Kuangtu.
With Qin Weibai's previous reminder, Li Tianlan naturally understood that the other party was going to have a showdown with him.
It’s just that Qin Weibai said that something will happen in Youzhou in the past few days.
But now the East Palace has not received any news.
Li Huacheng's showdown with him seemed a bit sudden.
However, Li Tianlan was already prepared and had no reason to refuse him, so he came here with Li Huacheng.
He gave the conditions.
The timing was totally right too.
Whether he is an enemy or a friend from now on depends entirely on Li Kuangtu's choice.
He had spared Li Kuangtu's life, and now he was giving him the best chance. If he couldn't grasp it, Li Tianlan didn't think he could do more.
"I reject."
Li Kuangtu looked at Li Tianlan and said with a smile: "Maybe the terms you gave are tempting, but this is not what I want. In this world, I am the only one qualified to represent the Li family, even if I am not your opponent for the time being. , but on behalf of the Li family, you are not worthy yet. Why join you if I can’t beat you? If I, Kuangtu Li, were like this, I would not be worthy of today’s achievements.”
Lee is paranoid.
Kuangtu Li is no longer just paranoid, but completely extreme.
Li Tianlan looked at him deeply.
Li Kuangtu's eyes were full of persistence, and behind this persistence, there was also a touch of hatred.
Li Tianlan naturally didn't know about the death of the young man named Hua Wu during the decisive battle in Tiandu, and he didn't want to know.
What he knows is the current outcome.
Li Kuangtu chose to refuse.
"Aren't you worried about the headquarters of Tiandu Purgatory? Aren't you worried about your woman and son?"
Li Tianlan asked.
"Does it make sense?"
Kuangtu Li's smile remained unchanged and his voice was indifferent: "If you kill them, it's best to kill me too. From today on, the Li family will die with me, otherwise if I don't die today, you dare to touch them... Hehehe. ..”
"I am indeed not your opponent, but in the entire Eastern Palace, besides you, who else is my opponent?"
Li Tianlan nodded: "You refuse?"
"Only I can represent the Lee family."
Li Kuangtu said calmly: "I refuse."
The attitude is clear and leaves no room for error.
Li Tianlan nodded and turned around slowly.
He glanced at Li Huacheng.
Li Huacheng was also looking at him, his eyes were a little relaxed and a little expectant.
Li Tianlan nodded to him: "Let's talk."
He and Kuangtu Li have finished talking.
This was their only formal conversation.
He gave conditions.
Li Kuangtu chose to refuse.
That's it, simple and simple.
Li Tianlan slowly walked towards the door.
When he was about to go out, he paused and said calmly: "I won't kill you today, but from today on, you and I are enemies."
