Chapter 1403: Under Heaven, All is the King's Land

ntinue, and poverty persist"Li Chen's rhetorical question left Su Jinpa stunned."That's because they are lazy. If they were just diligent enough, finding food wouldn't be a problem," she retorted angr...Chapter 1403: Under Heaven, All is the Sovereign's Territory

Her steps ceased, and she turned to face Li Chen with a tranquil expression.

That gaze was calm, but beneath the surface lay a tempest of emotions.

At this moment, no one can withstand the wrath of a Land Immortal.

But Li Chen remained unfazed.

"This is different from our agreement."

A chilling calmness permeated his voice.

He couldn't figure out where Li Chen got the guts to provoke him at this time.

Doesn't he really fear that I might kill him in a fit of rage

And facing Jian Xin's furious questioning, Li Chen answered even more directly.

"Our agreement doesn't include anything about using someone else to do our dirty work."

There was no room for compromise, let alone any softening.

Li Chen simply and directly told Jian Xin that he was very dissatisfied with his previous act of watching from the sidelines.

And this discontent is bound to be met with punishment.

Jian Xin's eyebrows rose in a flash of anger. "Jue An is, after all, a Land Immortal Realm cultivator. He's determined to kill you no matter the cost, and I can't stop him."

So don't stop me.

Li Chen sneered, “I was frightened just now, and my mood is not good. So I want to kill a batch of members from the White Lotus Sect to calm down. Jian Xin, do you have any objections”

Jane was furious.

He felt that his dignity as a cultivator of the Earth Immortal realm was being trampled underfoot by Li Chen.

A faint murderous intent, like a thin mist, permeated this small world.

It was as if the light around them had instantly grown cold.

Everyone was very nervous.

They were very clear that at this time, in this place, if Jian Xin made a move, every single one of them would be dead.

Li Chen ignored Jianxin completely and continued to address Xu Wei: “There’s a second matter. Order the Nanhe and Zhejiang-Fujian provinces to mobilize their garrison troops immediately to seal off Mount Song's Beishaolin and Putian's Nanshaolin temples. No one is allowed in or out without a decree from this palace. Anyone who disobeys will be killed.”

But if someone dares to commit violence and forcefully break in, the two provincial governors' offices and the commanders-in-chief may not require imperial permission to send a large army to flatten Shaolin.

Li Chen's words calmed Li Xin's surging anger somewhat.

He wasn't comforted, but threatened.

He knew that Li Chen announced these two orders in front of him, the first being to punish himself, and the second to warn himself.

This blow seems to be aimed at Shaolin, but in reality it's a warning to the White Lotus Sect.

...was even more intimidating.

Indeed, Li Chen's voice followed.

"Under heaven, all is the sovereign's land; on earth's border, all are the sovereign's subjects."

"In the land of China, for thousands of years, those who have ruled have never been warriors like yourselves. Even if you are earth immortals, as long as you remain on land, you must be subject to imperial control."

"No matter how powerful your martial arts are, as long as you're not alone, if the imperial court deploys tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of soldiers, a single soldier's spit could drown any so-called sect or ancient temple that boasts of a thousand years of history."

"Calm your heart, do you know why a single imperial plaque proclaiming 'Number One in the World' could cause such infighting between the Southern and Northern Shaolin"

Jian Xin twitched the corner of her mouth and replied, "For fame and fortune."

"Yes, it's for fame and fortune."

Li Chen said calmly, "All the sects in the Jianghu, one by one, from the headmaster elders to the ordinary members, all regard scolding the court as politically correct. It seems that only by scolding and denouncing the court can they appear sufficiently Jianghu and be considered a member of the Jianghu."e. They wouldn't let us explain anything, just pushed us aside, a bunch of women and children, and beat and scolded us. Then they carried several boxes into the house. After a while, they carried them...
