Peerless War God

But at the same time, he understood that Liu Qingkong was naturally confident because he had something to rely on. There was no other reason. In the face of the Dragon Palace’s possible counterattack, he still needed to rely on the Liu Clan’s forces and use them.    

Coupled with Liu Qingkong’s extremely heavy status in the Liu Clan, his words also represented the Liu Clan’s attitude to a certain extent.    

The arrogant and despotic members of the senior family clans were used to doing whatever they wanted. This wasn’t something rare.    

But today, this arrogant action had appeared on the battlefield of Tianhai Island, causing Qin Daoyuan to be furious to the extreme.    

His eyes were spitting fire, and he wished for nothing more than to kill Liu Qingkong on the spot to serve as a warning to others.    

But when he considered the greater situation, he couldn’t bear to let this grievance go.    

In comparison, Qi Yun and Liu Cai were only injured, and their lives weren’t harmed. Even though they were bullied and wronged, there was nothing they could do about it. They could only say that it was over.    

Qin Daoyuan sighed in his heart and said in a grim voice, “Liu Qingkong, I know what you’ve done. I won’t punish you this time, but if there’s a next time, you should know the consequences. Hmph!”    

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding cultivators fell silent.    

The cultivators of the four great senior family clans, including the cultivators of the Qin Clan, Gu Clan, and Su Clan, were naturally watching coldly from the sidelines, as if it didn’t concern them at all. They even revealed expressions of mockery and ridicule.    

Many cultivators from the clans stared at Qi Yun and Liu Cai with disdain. They became even more arrogant.    

Qin Daoyuan's declaration was undoubtedly biased towards Liu Qingkong, and also towards the few great family clans.    

Firstly, it was for the sake of the overall situation. Secondly, Qin Daoyuan himself was also a member of the Qin Clan.    

Standing on his own standpoint, it was very difficult for him to really stand up for Qi Yun and Liu Cai.    

Upon seeing this, many rogue cultivators revealed miserable expressions. They were extremely indignant and extremely furious, but they had to endure it in their hearts and didn't dare to show it too much.    

Rogue cultivators were also people, and they were also a part of the Violet Cloud City. They shouldn't be treated differently. This was unfair.    

It was just that the power was so great that it could crush people. The Liu Clan behind Liu Qingkong was deeply rooted, and no one could shake it.    

Coupled with Qin Daoyuan's words, he had already made a decision that could not be changed.    

These rogue cultivators who were depressed in their hearts, even if they had great grievances and dissatisfaction, they could only endure it.    

"Damn it." Qi Yun clenched his teeth tightly and lowered his head. He was almost biting into his own blood.    

"Sigh." Liu Cai crawled up from the sea with great difficulty, and he was almost left with only a breath. He sighed heavily.    

At this moment, his sorrow was greater than his heart's death. He knew that the overall situation was already set.    

Upon seeing this scene, Liu Qingkong also knew to restrain himself. He still didn't dare to completely pretend that he didn't see Qin Daoyuan's words.    

After all, he had already achieved his goal, so there was no need to continue being unwilling to let go.    

Liu Qingkong’s gaze was cold and fierce as he stared at Qin Daoyuan and said coldly, “Alright, Qin Daoyuan, I’ll give you some face. Let’s call it a day. However, he has to hand over the things.”    

“What things?” Qin Daoyuan frowned as he looked towards Qi Yun and Liu Qingkong.    

Qi Yun had a bitter and sorrowful expression as he said, “The spoils of war. Liu Qingkong and I discovered it first. Liu Qingkong wanted to snatch it away, and that’s why this happened. Liu Qingkong was heavily injured and injured the two of us.”    

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Liu Qingkong and Qin Daoyuan changed slightly.    

Liu Qingkong’s expression turned cold all of a sudden, and he was like an iceberg that had been frozen for ten thousand years.    

Qin Daoyuan’s expression was dark, and he was extremely unsightly as well.    

He should have thought of this, but Liu Qingkong’s actions were still too excessive.    

He berated, “Liu Qingkong, don’t push your luck. Just treat it as the compensation for their injuries. Let’s call it a day. If anyone dares to pursue this matter, I’ll definitely punish them severely.”    

When Qin Daoyuan spoke these words, he clearly heard many disdainful and cold laughter that were transmitted from midair.    

For a time, his gaze was extremely gloomy.    

Obviously, he knew that his actions had greatly weakened and damaged his own prestige, but the greater the situation, the more he had to give in to Liu Qingkong and stabilize the clans of the elders.    

It was to the extent that his prestige had greatly decreased now that he spoke these words, and there weren’t many cultivators that believed him.    

Instantly, Qin Daoyuan was slightly disheveled as he glared fiercely at Liu Qingkong.    

Liu Qingkong’s expression turned serious. He knew that he could not continue to provoke Qin Daoyuan, so he said with a relaxed expression, “Fine, Lord Qin Daoyuan’s words are reasonable. Let’s do it this way.”    

“Haha, Young Master Qingkong is mighty. Long live Young Master Qingkong.”    

“Young Master Qingkong is truly too formidable. He actually managed to intimidate Qin Daoyuan and not dare to act rashly.”    

“Young Master Qingkong’s actions have greatly boosted the reputation of my Liu Family. In the future, there will be even more chances for the position of Patriarch.”    

The cultivators of the Liu Family surrounded Liu Qingkong and loudly praised him without any restraint.    

These words were truly too ear-piercing in Qin Daoyuan’s ears. It was simply a merciless mockery.    

Qin Daoyuan subconsciously clenched his fists tightly. His eyes were spouting flames as he glared at Liu Qingkong.    

“Hmph.”    

A cold snort sounded. The cultivators of the Liu Family immediately quieted down and turned around to look at Qin Daoyuan coldly.    

“Alright, Lord Qin seems to be angry. It’s better not to continue to provoke him. Just treat those things as food for dogs. Haha.”    

Liu Qingkong laughed wildly and turned around to leave.    

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the cultivators watching had different expressions, but they all looked at Qin Daoyuan in unison.    

Qin Daoyuan clenched his fists tightly. Veins had already appeared on his fists.    

One of the cultivators of the Qin Family on the left and right saw this and felt rather unwilling. He came over and said in a low voice, “Big Brother Daoyuan, are we just going to let Liu Qingkong leave arrogantly like this?”    

"..." Qin Daoyuan was silent for a long time.    

To him, this was undoubtedly an incomparably difficult decision.    

But now, he could only allow Liu Qingkong to leave. He couldn't stop her.    

At the same time, inside the Heavenly Sea Island's Cloud Pavilion.    

Chen Xiao slightly opened his eyes and saw everything. He sighed and said, "Brother Qin is still too soft-hearted. If we let Liu Qingkong go this time, I'm afraid that there will be endless trouble. Not only will it help the arrogance of the senior family, it will also chill the hearts of countless rogue cultivators. Once the hearts of people are scattered, it will be difficult to deal with anything."    

"Heh, you have a way? Qin Daoyuan's actions are obviously to stabilize the Liu Family and the senior families, and continue to contribute to the Purple Cloud City and the Heavenly Sea Island. After all, the threat of the Dragon Palace is real."    

In the huge tree vines, Xilo laughed.    

Chen Xiao nodded and said, "Your words make sense. That's why I have to strike with a heavy fist. In a chaotic world, there will definitely be great changes. There are some things that need to be changed."    

"Change? How? You plan to personally take action?"    

Xilo asked curiously.    

Chen Xiao did not mind and said, "Heh, it's just a mere Liu Qingkong. If I take action, it will be dirty."    

"Oh, that's interesting."
