Dawn murmured to herself, as if she was carefully savoring the weight of these two words.
It actually doesn't mean much whether to admit defeat or not. Anyone who is not a fool can see the strength of the East Palace and Tiandu Purgatory.
But whether or not to admit defeat also has great significance.
Tiandu Purgatory is indeed not as good as the East Palace now, and even has to cooperate with his enemies to resist the pressure brought by Li Tianlan. But as long as Li Kuangtu does not express his position and grits his teeth and persists, Tiandu Purgatory will still be Tiandu Purgatory.
But now...
Li Kuangtu wants to admit defeat...
This also means that from now on Tiandu Purgatory will really become a pure purgatory army.
Liming didn't rush to object or agree. He was silent for about a minute and then suddenly asked: "Brother, if you admit defeat... what will happen to Hua Wu in the future?"
"As it should be, so be it."
Li Kuangtu was silent for a while and said softly: "Hua Wu is my son. If I succeed in the future, I don't have to worry about his future. Even if I fail, what will happen if Hua Wu loses his family background? His family is in decline.
Story, can't my son go through it? Tiandu Purgatory does not raise waste, and my son cannot be a waste who relies on me to stand on a high place to achieve success. Li Tianlan, there is no need to worry about this, I
It is certain that even if I die in the hands of Li Tianlan in the future, he will not take action against Hua Wu."
Li Xiao looked at him quietly and didn't speak for a long time.
"how?"
Kuangtu Li felt that his little brother's eyes were a little strange.
"Of course Tianlan will not take action against Hua Wu."
Li Ming's voice was very soft. In fact, inside Tiandu Purgatory, even Po Xiao and Li Ming, who were most loyal to Kuangtu Li, and even Fenghuang, had no hostility towards Li Tianlan. They were indeed Kuangtu Li's people, but they were also
A member of the Li family, just like the old Li family members standing next to Li Tianlan today, would view Li Kuangtu. They would be angry at his cooperation with Gu Xingyun, but if they had any hatred towards Li Kuangtu, they would want to kill him.
And then quickly, this is really out of the question.
The real old man of the Li family has a very complicated and entangled attitude towards Li Kuangtu and Li Tianlan. Only those people who were later absorbed in Tiandu Purgatory would want to let Li Tianlan fall quickly so that they can accept the East Palace.
everything.
In addition to these people, it is estimated that Li Kuangtu and Li Tianlan have murderous intentions towards each other.
"Dignified Donghuang, he is a person who firmly believes that he is invincible, and firmly believes that he can defeat the whole world by himself. This confidence makes him disdain to eradicate the roots. He does not even bother to care about any threats, and Hua Wu is his biological brother after all. If
If we lose, even if it's for the sake of his kindness, he probably won't take action against Hua Wu."
Li Ming's voice was lowered in the somewhat blurry skylight, and he said softly: "But Tianlan won't do anything... Where are the others..."
Just like the real Li people will not be hostile to Li Tianlan and Li Kuangtu, but the people who were later absorbed by Tiandu Purgatory hope that Li Tianlan will die quickly, the components inside the East Palace are also relatively complicated.
The power includes Shushan Yaochi, City of Sighs, wealthy groups, and most importantly, the old department of Samsara Palace that currently occupies the main part.
These people...except for the old people of the Li family, how can anyone else have a favorable impression of Tiandu Purgatory?
"Tianlan can dominate the East Palace, but as a leader, a leader who can be unscrupulous is definitely unqualified. Even a leader sometimes needs to compromise and has his own frustrations and difficulties. If we admit defeat this time, Tiandu Purgatory
The future is unpredictable. Suppose we lose and all of us die, what will happen to Hua Wu? Tian Lan will not kill him, but what if, I mean what if, it is Ning Qiancheng who wants to kill him? It is Li Baitian who wants to kill him.
What about him? These two people were with Tian Lan when he first came into the world. Tian Lan grew so fast in the past few years that they couldn't keep up with Tian Lan's footsteps and lost some sense of presence. But now they are in Dong Lan.
The status in the palace has become more and more important.
Ning Qiancheng's talent in martial arts is relatively average. Now he has even given up on martial arts. As long as he has no evil intentions, he is destined to be the leader of the new group in the future. A Central Continent member can only be considered a starter at best. If what you said is true, brother,
If Li Huacheng plans to let Li Tianlan take over, the development of Donghuang Palace will go smoothly. Twenty years later, an extremely powerful Donghuang Palace and the new group will not only push Li Tianlan to the position of president, but even Ning Qiancheng to the position of prime minister.
What is this concept?
Li Baitian, the Taixu Sword Master, was the first Taixu Sword Master in Shu Mountain a hundred years ago. His strength was at the peak of invincibility. At its peak, his ranking on the God List even surpassed that of the Beihai Wang family, second only to the Li family.
Ranked second, how dazzling is Li Baitian now among the younger generation in Central Continent? Not counting Tianlan, Jiang Shangyu and Wang Shengxiao, the next ones are Li Baitian and Lin Youxian. As long as Li Baitian does not die, he will at least be the same in the future.
In the peak invincible state, these two people can be said to be the core of the East Palace. Although they are not the deputy palace masters due to various reasons, their status is not worse than the deputy palace masters at all.
These two people are also the most representative figures. As the team members who have been with Tianlan for the first time, if they insist on killing Hua Wu, or kill him first and then show off, what will Tianlan do? In any case, after all,
It's impossible to kill them to pay for Hua Wu's life."
Li Baitian.
Ning Qiancheng.
These are indeed two very representative figures.
Li Kuangtu took a deep breath and said slowly: "That's why I chose to admit defeat."
"You are right. Li Baitian and Ning Qiancheng are indeed representative. But you did not mention the more representative figures."
Li Ming thought of the witch in the East Palace who had now entered the transcendent realm, and felt a little cold in her heart.
Transcendental state...
This means that even if Li Kuangtu can break through directly tonight and officially enter the supreme realm, he will be unable to do anything to the other party.
Not talking about Li Baitian, not talking about Ning Qiancheng, if it was necessary, if Qin Weibai wanted to kill Hua Wu, he would kill him right away. I guess Li Tianlan would not even be able to say a harsh word at that time, right?
"Big Brother's surrender..."
Dawn seemed to gradually understand: "Is it for her?"
Li Kuangtu surrendered to Li Tianlan.
In fact, he gave up to Qin Weibai.
He refused to accept it, but he accepted the current situation.
Li Ming thought about it again and said slowly: "It's useless."
"you are wrong."
Kuangtu Li shook his head.
Li Ming was a little impatient: "Brother, you are confused! In terms of cruelty, no one can compare to that woman. Her gentle thoughts are all used on Tianlan. They are only used on her. How does she treat outsiders?
Don’t you know clearly? As long as necessary, the whole world can be a pawn in her hands. In the chaos of the Snow Country, doesn’t the fall of the invincible realm explain everything? "
Qin Weibai is a woman only when she is around Li Tianlan.
When facing the dark world, Qin Weibai is a goddess.
The entire dark world recognizes this title.
With admiration and awe.
The gods have no emotions and are aloof.
It was the ultimate indifference that cut off the world.
"What you said makes sense."
Li Kuangtu said softly: "If it were before today, I would agree with your statement, but now, it's different."
He smiled softly: "She is already in a transcendental state."
Li Ming was startled for a moment and froze on the spot.
"Transcendence means too many things. When her spiritual power reaches its peak, she can even modify her memory and cognition. If I fail in the future, I will definitely die, but Hua Wu may not. Even if his existence is in that witch
She may be a threat in her eyes, but if she is still with Li Tianlan, and with her temperament of wanting to please Li Tianlan no matter what she does, she has many ways to eliminate the threat that Hua Wu may pose."
"If she hadn't entered the transcendent realm, Hua Wu would definitely die if she fell into her hands. But now, it's different. It's at least worth taking the gamble once."
"If I fail in the future, it will be good if Hua Wu can survive, Moon God..."
Li Kuangtu's eyes dimmed for a moment, and he gritted his teeth: "If he is still here, his life will not be too bad. Some memories may be changed, but there is nothing wrong with it. I will not enter the East Palace and cooperate with the enemy.
, it’s my obsession, this life, it’s too tiring.”
That brilliant sword light flashed through his mind again.
The sword light that could tear the world apart fell on the palaces of Beihai and Dongdao, running through day and night, real and illusory.
In terms of power, that sword light can already be compared to the eternal sword in the sky above Mormans.
As for the pure and powerful sword energy, that sword can be said to be the only one that Li Kuangtu has seen in his life.
But in that sword light, all Kuangtu Li could feel was endless fatigue and loneliness, desolation and deathly silence.
Li Kuangtu's voice was even lower: "I don't want my son to be so tired, or even more tired than me."
"Understood."
Liming looked at Kuangtu Li.
He had been with Li Kuangtu when he was a boy. He had seen his youthful frivolity, his high-spirited spirit, his aloofness and indulgence when he was invincible, and his forbearance and silence when he was down and out. This impression of this man
The eldest brother would always straighten his body and stand in the place where the undercurrent was the most intense. He was cold and proud, planning his life and evaluating all worldly events in an almost extreme way.
Until now.
Until tonight.
Until this morning.
Under the lights of Tiandu Purgatory, he was still standing in the square. The pale white morning light and dim lights shone on him. For the first time, Li Ming discovered that Li Kuangtu had not had time to dye him after being held captive for too long.
The white hair showing at the temples also revealed for the first time that his figure was no longer straight, but had become a little rickety.
He gave up.
Admit defeat to the Eastern Palace.
Give up to Li Tianlan.
He stepped out of the paranoid position he had held for decades and considered different issues from different perspectives.
From the perspective of being a father, a husband, and the entire Li family.
He just stood there, quietly.
Still carrying his obsession.
Dawn at this moment never saw any weakness in him.
What he saw was relief, relaxation, and a determination that seemed to burn all life and soul.
Li Ming suddenly smiled. He didn't intend to say anything, so he nodded: "I understand."
Li Kuangtu turned to look at Li Ming, his eyes were very gentle: "Li Xiao is still unconscious?"
"Um."
Liming nodded: "He hasn't woken up yet. Tianlan has no intention of killing him, but the injury is still serious. He will probably be in a coma for the next few days, and he will have to recover for a while."
"It's a pity that there isn't much time left for him. But the same goes for you."
Li Kuangtu smiled: "What do you want? You can tell me now. As long as I have it, I can give it to you."
Dawn frowned.
Li Kuangtu continued to laugh: "Don't get me wrong, I just suddenly thought of it. I just asked casually. You can also ask for nothing."
"Then don't do it."
Li Ming nodded without hesitation: "Even if you want it, what else can you want?"
"For example, astronomical amounts of money, certain industries that are making huge amounts of money every day, or..."
"has no meaning?"
Li Ming interrupted Li Kuangtu's words: "It's boring. We have never married or had any children in our lives, so it's useless to have those. There are beautiful women, not to mention thousands, hundreds, not to mention thousands, of star supermodels and school belle stewardesses.
Rich and wealthy daughters, there are all kinds of things. After tasting the best wine and meat, I now like to be a fucking vegetarian. The most expensive luxury cars. Speaking of this, I drank too much in Dongdao some time ago. At that time, a car
I forgot where I lost my Ferrari, and then I simply didn’t remember it. Talking about money, I lost nearly nine figures in one night in Las Vegas a few years ago, and I didn’t feel anything. Talking about power, Heaven is as big as purgatory.
, except for you, Li Xiao, and Phoenix, there are no other people or things that I can't control."
Li Ming took out a cigarette and lit it: "It's boring. So I'm too lazy to ask for anything. Li Xiao thinks the same way, I'm sure. You are the eldest brother, so you decide to walk all the way to the dark side, so let's walk the dark side together.
, if you win, we won’t have to worry about old age, let alone wealth and wealth. If you lose, then when the time comes, we will all die together.”
Li Kuangtu grinned, coughing as if his injury was affected. He coughed and pointed at Li Ming, and said with a smile: "We should die together, that's good."
"right?"
Li Ming also laughed, but the smoke choked her throat, and she also started to cough.
The two people's bodies were shaking, looking like two fools.
This made a middle-aged man at the edge of the square who was about to walk over hesitate for a moment and stood there, hesitant.
Li Kuangtu glanced at him, smiled and waved: "Chen Yu, is there something wrong?"
Li Chenyu came over, touched his hair, and responded in a low voice.
"Got to go?"
Li Kuangtu smiled and didn't seem to be angry at all.
This is a veteran of the Li family. However, when the Li family collapsed, his status was not important. At that time, he was less than thirty years old and had just entered the thunder realm. He was the kind of person who entered the Li family.
Although he was not considered a core combatant, he later followed Li Honghe to the border. Over the years, he has now become one of the core members of the Li family.
Li Kuangtu was very familiar with him. He was the one who promoted Li Chenyu for his last promotion that year.
Li Chenyu nodded and said solemnly: "It's time to go."
"Tsk..."
Li Kuangtu shook his head: "I feel a little uncomfortable, but it's not that I don't understand you, it's just that I feel like I lost to that old immortal again."
Li Chenyu went to Tiandu Purgatory from the border about seven years ago. About a year later, Li Tianlan officially entered the world.
In other words, he was one of the last people to leave the border, which also meant that he was one of the Li family veterans who was most familiar with Li Tianlan.
Back then, Li Chenyu was a member of Li Kuangtu.
Li Honghe had taken him to the border for so many years, and it was obvious that his position had shifted towards Li Honghe and Li Tianlan.
Li Chenyu hesitated and said, "You have lost many times."
Li Kuangtu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right. If you lose too much, you shouldn't care too much, right?"
Li Chenyu said nothing.
"Are you going to leave? Or are you all going to leave as a group?"
Li Kuangtu asked.
Li Chenyu hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's all go."
Li Kuangtu nodded and said yes. There were too many veterans of the Li family in Tiandu Purgatory, so the positions were not easy to arrange, so there were more groups. The organization was not big, but the privileges were very high, and they were enjoyable.
The treatment is also very good.
Li Chenyu's group is composed of fifteen people, and there are currently twelve people, all veterans of the Li family, who have all left, which also explains his attitude.
But Kuangtu Li is a little numb now.
I don't know how many people left Tiandu Purgatory that night. Li Huazhang and Li Chenyu would come to say goodbye to him, and more people would leave without saying goodbye.
never mind.
"Hua Zhang left early."
Li Kuangtu shook his head: "When he left, I had not made up my mind, but since you are here, you can stay."
Li Chenyu's face was calm, without any panic, he just said quietly: "If Your Highness wants to kill me, I will not resist."
"You are my brother."
Li Kuangtu looked at him: "At least before today, you are my brother. Why should I kill you? Chen Yu, I can trust you. Since you haven't left at this time, you might as well leave a few days later. Tiandu Purgatory will withdraw from Tiandu."
Nan, Donghuang Palace will take over here, but Donghuang Palace currently lacks talents in the field of business. I estimate that in a few days, Hua Zhang will come back with the will of Donghuang Palace. You can stay here these days.
At that time, please hand over the situation and then go to the East Palace."
Li Chenyu frowned and asked in confusion: "What does this mean, Your Highness?"
"Means nothing."
Li Kuangtu shook his head. He held a cigarette and pointed at the supplies that were constantly piling up in the square: "These things, all the supplies, as well as all the current industries, all the wealth in Tiandu Purgatory, as well as some information, connections, and businesses.
..Probably these are the things. In short, I don’t want anything from Tiandu Purgatory. You are my brother, so do me a favor and pack them up and give them to the East Palace. Well, they are from Tiandu Purgatory.
The property is quite troublesome, so I will ask Phoenix to stay and help you complete the handover with the Eastern Palace."
Li Chenyu stared at Li Kuangtu dumbfounded, as if he was looking at a madman.
Send all these things to the Eastern Palace?
deliver???
If all were given away...
Li Chenyu couldn't help but said: "Without these, what else is there in Tiandu Purgatory?"
"There is no such thing as purgatory."
Li Kuangtu looked at him gently: "The Li family will be reunited from today. I will take nothing with me from Tiandu Purgatory. Fighters can leave if they want. I will take away Dawn and Phoenix, and return
There are some people who are willing to follow me. I will officially announce to the dark world that Kuangtu Li will officially withdraw from the Li family from today on. All those who are willing to follow me will also officially withdraw from the Li family. What I have in my hands is the Li family’s.
The power will be completely given to Li Tianlan, that's about it."
"..."
Li Chenyu looked at him with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Successful king or defeated bandit, I am willing to make this decision."
"I admit my failure. What qualifications does a loser have to be the leader of the Li family? Li Tianlan is the winner. I recognize him as the leader of the clan."
"I gave everything to him. Next, I will use my own way to snatch these things back from him. Life or death."
