Chapter 1394: 576 They will be more desperate
Not long after the people of the Jin Immortal Clan fled, the news reached the Lan Family Immortal Clan and reached Su Yu.
But Su Yu didn't care much.
The Jin Immortal Clan could run, but they couldn't hide.
Since the Jin Immortal Clan could come from billions of miles away to target the Lan Family Immortal Clan, naturally the Lan Family Immortal Clan could also return the favor.
As for whether that region is the Yellow Spirit Cave Heaven.... Does it matter?
What they're after is the power of the Yellow Spirit Cave Heaven.
Once the three Beasts completed their tribulation, the Lan Family Immortal Clan gathered their forces. Just as they were planning to head to the Li Family Immortal Clan, an Immortal Order came from Guhe Square.
The Yellow Court Immortal Alliance had sent a new Chief Steward to Guhe Square, commanding the Lan Family Immortal Clan to send someone over for a banquet to mediate between them and the Li Family.
After Lan Hanruo relayed this Immortal Order, she looked at Su Yu: "What do you think? Should we bother with it?"
Su Yu smiled and said, "Since there's a banquet, of course we should attend."
"But we also can't ignore the Li Family. I'll take a few of you to the square, while the Patriarch, the Elders, the Taixu, the Sea-covering Mysterious Turtle, the Black Dragon, and other Lan Family members head to the Li Family to try and subdue them."
Without the Jin Clan, the Li Family Immortal Clan is merely a grasshopper after autumn, doomed not to last long even if he doesn't act.
Submission is their only option.
Otherwise, the death of too many people would be unpleasant.
Whoosh!
An Immortal Boat set off from the Lan Family Immortal Clan heading toward Guhe Square.
Nan Xiaogu, Su Yu, Fan Xiao, and others naturally followed; there was no need to personally take action against a small Li Family Immortal Clan. It'd be better to see what kind of trickery the Li Family and the new Chief Steward of the Immortal Alliance had in store.
Upon arriving at the square, the guards of the Yellow Court Immortal Alliance looked at Lan Hanruo, the Deacon of the Lan Family Immortal Clan, with a different gaze full of reverence and fear, bowing in deep respect.
"Greetings, Deacon Lan!"
All the mortal disciples guarding the square bowed respectfully, their attitudes towards Lan Hanruo unprecedentedly warm and respectful.
Lan Hanruo naturally noticed the change, her expression also subtly shifted.
Her feelings were rather mixed....
Previously, she was a deacon of Guhe Square but was mostly a nonentity with little power, and few in the Immortal Alliance listened to her.
But now, their words were quite pleasant to the ear!
'Is this the change in status that comes with rising strength and power?' Lan Hanruo realized that previously, asking Huang Daoxuan for help to warn the Li Family had no effect.
But now, Huang Daoxuan was dead!
The words from other members of the Immortal Alliance at the square were pleasant, as if they had become her own people.
'All of this was brought by him.' Lan Hanruo's beautiful eyes focused on the man ahead of her, lips subtly pursed. I must say that everything witnessed during these days has made this man particularly charming.
Who could resist such a charming man?
Lan Hanruo even recalled Su Yu's previous words about leading the Lan Family Immortal Clan to dominate the Yellow Court Immortal Alliance....
She had thought Su Yu overly arrogant and ignorant.
But now, perhaps he could indeed accomplish it!
Eventually, they arrived at the Yellow Court Immortal Alliance's base in the square, a grand Immortal Palace. As they entered, they saw an Immortal who had previously accompanied Huang Daoxuan to the Lan Family Immortal Clan waiting to receive them.
Seeing Su Yu, Lan Hanruo, and others arrive, a flash of fear and reverence appeared in his eyes, and he hurried forward to greet them, bowing his head respectfully, "Greetings, Young Master Su, Deacon Lan."
Lan Hanruo stepped forward, slightly furrowing her brows, "What's with this banquet?"
The Immortal glanced back, then transmitted a message, "Young Master Su, Deacon Lan, it was the Li Family seeking out the new Chief Steward, begging them to intervene on their behalf, claiming they were persecuted by the Lan Family Immortal Clan, and asked the Immortal Alliance to support their cause."
"I don't know what that Chief Steward was thinking, but he agreed to the Li Family's request, which is why you were invited to the banquet."
Lan Hanruo, hearing this, was quite irritated—the Li Family Immortal Clan truly was troublesome.
They were the instigators, and now that they feared death, they pretended to be the victims and cried for sympathy!
Su Yu merely smiled indifferently, stepping forward with Lan Hanruo and others into the Immortal Palace ahead.
Upon entering, they saw several individuals already seated at the front tables. A fairly young cultivator at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm sat in the main seat, and to the right, two Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivators and three Earth Immortal Realm cultivators were sitting, accompanying with drinks.
When they saw Lan Hanruo, Su Yu, and others entering, those accompanying halted their drinks, their expressions slightly cold as they eyed them.
They briefly assessed Lan Hanruo, Nan Xiaogu, and others, finally focusing on Su Yu, their expressions slightly changing, becoming ever more serious, contemplating something unknown.
As for the person seated at the head, he merely glanced at Su Yu and the others entering but seemed to take a few more looks when his gaze landed on Lan Hanruo and Nan Xiaogu.
Until Su Yu and others approached, he raised his wine glass and stood up with a smile: "Please take a seat, everyone. Thank you for taking the time to attend the banquet amidst your busy schedules, I, Zhao, am deeply grateful. Please, sit."
Under his invitation, Su Yu, Lan Hanruo, and others sat at several tables on the left. Su Yu didn't speak, and Lan Hanruo, not inclined toward riddles, coldly gazed at the Li Family Immortal Clan members opposite and said, "Did Steward Zhao invite us to deal with these traitors and apologize to our Lan Family Immortal Clan?"
Zhao Heshun's smiling face slightly stiffened.
The members of the Li Family Immortal Clan opposite were furious, and a Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivator unleashed their Immortal Might upon Lan Hanruo, shouting in anger, "Audacious! Sir Zhao hasn't spoken yet. What right do you have to speak!"
"I see your Lan Family Immortal Clan doesn't regard the Immortal Alliance, nor care about Sir Zhao. How arrogant you are!"
"You!"
Lan Hanruo, not one with a sharp tongue, was quite vexed.
Zhao Heshun, sitting at the head, seemed somewhat displeased with Lan Hanruo and was about to raise his hand to scold and quieten everyone, as his arranged peace banquet was meant to mediate.
This was also supposed to be his first demonstration of authority upon assuming the role of Chief Steward at Guhe Square, ensuring that the two recently tumultuous Immortal Clans bowed their heads to his Immortal Might and reconciled.
If the Lan Family Immortal Clan and the Li Family Immortal Clan could settle, who in Guhe Square would dare defy him?
But before he could speak,
The early-stage Heavenly Immortal from the Li Family, who had been sitting across, suddenly vanished, only to reappear in the hands of the unknown young man seated at the left's head.
With just one hand, he restrained the Li Family's Heavenly Immortal ancestor, unable to struggle or resist, eyes rolling back as if suffocating, his eyes full of terror, mouth moving desperately yet unable to utter a plea for mercy.
Zhao Heshun's expression dramatically changed at the sight, eyes narrowing as he stared at the young man.
Su Yu, casually restraining the man, touched Lan Hanruo's head with one hand and said calmly, "With such individuals, there is no need for more words. If they still don't realize their situation, sending them to reincarnation is the best choice and outcome."
"You have to let them understand that if the strong refuse to reason and resort to physics, they will be even more desperate."
"Just like now."
