This was something they hadn't anticipated.
In their eyes, with the Holy Son of the Tai Xuan Holy Land taking action, everything should have been a done deal, without any surprises.
Now, the Holy Son of the Tai Xuan Holy Land was actually suggesting a compromise.
What was the point of them coming here then?
Upon hearing Li Chenguang's words, Shen Mingxiang's brow eased slightly.
While they had support from other factions and didn't particularly fear the Tai Xuan Holy Land, it would be best if this fellow retreated on his own.
"Holy Son, absolutely not. If we let the Huangquan Demon Sect go this time, outsiders might think the Tai Xuan Holy Land is afraid of them..."
"Yes, yes, we must not miss this opportunity..."
"..."
...
Many elders of the White Bone Yin Sect beside Li Chenguang spoke up.
Clearly, they were unwilling to let the Huangquan Demon Sect off the hook.
"Shut up! When did I say I would let the Huangquan Demon Sect go!" Li Chenguang frowned and said coldly.
These people were chattering incessantly, which was annoying.
Shen Mingxiang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "What does the Holy Son intend to do?"
"You can send any of your disciples from the Huangquan Demon Sect to spar with me. If any disciple can last ten breaths under my hand, I will immediately lead my people away and stop discussing compensation or territory division!" Li Chenguang's lips curled slightly, and he spoke casually.
"Of course, if none of your Huangquan Demon Sect disciples can last ten breaths, my demands are not high. I only ask for one-tenth of your territory to be allocated to the White Bone Yin Sect as compensation!" Li Chenguang added.
Shen Mingxiang's face turned extremely grim. This Holy Son of the Tai Xuan Holy Land was far too arrogant.
"Elder, agree to it. Ten breaths, that's a small matter!" Another elder of the Huangquan Demon Sect nearby said angrily.
Shen Mingxiang's expression flickered between worry and determination. Since Li Chenguang dared to propose this duel, he must have some reliance.
"Aren't you afraid? For such a large Huangquan Demon Sect, you don't even dare to accept this challenge?" Li Chenguang taunted.
As soon as Li Chenguang spoke, the other elders of the Huangquan Demon Sect nearby were enraged.
"Fine, I agree. But if anyone lasts for ten breaths, then your White Bone Yin Sect must also cede one-tenth of its territory to us!" Shen Mingxiang replied.
Li Chenguang's lips curved upwards. The fish had taken the bait...
Following this, both sides prepared for the duel.
More and more disciples flocked to Lingyuan Peak.
News of the duel spread.
Before long, Li Dongze and Tang Siqi received summons to participate in this duel.
Several other powerful true disciples were also summoned.
Li Chenguang had set no other restrictions apart from a maximum of ten matches.
This meant that life and death were not a concern...
Shen Mingxiang also found several other disciples who were exceptionally skilled in movement techniques and possessed strong defenses.
The duel soon began.
The number of disciples on Lingyuan Peak increased.
Disciples of the Huangquan Demon Sect began cheering for their own people.
Shouts and cheers filled Lingyuan Peak.
"Siqi, Dongze, you two observe Li Chenguang's strength and background from below. You can enter the arena later!" Shen Mingxiang said slowly as he watched the battles on stage.
Tang Siqi and Li Dongze both nodded.
The Holy Son of the Tai Xuan Holy Land was definitely not a simple character.
As the duels commenced, Shen Mingxiang, Tang Siqi, and the others grew increasingly solemn.
Li Chenguang's strength was terrifyingly high; he had directly annihilated their true disciples...
...
The palace on Saintess Peak.
After breaking through, Jiang Li immediately came to the palace on Saintess Peak.
Upon arriving, Jiang Li found that only Qinghua was in the palace at the moment. All other disciples of Saintess Peak were absent.
"Senior Brother Jiang, you're finally out of seclusion!" Qinghua's eyes lit up when she saw Jiang Li appear.
Jiang Li nodded and then slowly asked, "What happened at the Huangquan Demon Sect? Why aren't any disciples around?"
Qinghua took a deep breath and then explained the situation of the duels at Lingyuan Peak to Jiang Li.
A disciple of the Tai Xuan Holy Land... Jiang Li's eyes narrowed.
Interesting. Let's go and take a look.
Then, Jiang Li left Saintess Peak with Qinghua and sped towards Lingyuan Peak.
...
At this moment, on Lingyuan Peak.
Many disciples of the Huangquan Demon Sect stared at the situation in disbelief.
Li Chenguang had consecutively annihilated seven disciples of their Huangquan Demon Sect.
Not a single disciple could last more than one move against him.
The elders of the White Bone Yin Sect in the distance were extremely excited and very pleased with the current scene.
These people actually wanted to duel with the Holy Son of the Tai Xuan Holy Land? They must have been kicked by a donkey.
Li Chenguang yawned and said casually, "Does the Huangquan Demon Sect have any other powerful figures? None of them can even last a single move against me. What a bunch of trash!"
"Damn it, this guy is so arrogant. I really want to go up and beat him to death, it's infuriating..."
"Yeah, he just killed a few true disciples. Our Holy Son and Saintess haven't even appeared yet, so why is he so arrogant..."
"That's right, that's right. Once our Holy Son appears, he can definitely deal with this guy..."
...
...
The surrounding disciples of the Huangquan Demon Sect were filled with righteous indignation and extreme anger.
This guy was truly a bit too arrogant. If their strength wasn't inferior to his, they would have already gone up to beat him.
Many disciples turned their gaze towards Li Dongze.
During the competition for Holy Son, Li Dongze had crushed several Holy Son candidates, leaving a deep impression on them.
Shen Mingxiang was already regretting his decision.
He had initially wanted to deliberate further.
But at that moment, he received a telepathic message from the Sect Master, ordering him to agree.
The Sect Master was too reckless, directly telling him to agree. Now that no one could defeat him, wasn't this like lifting a rock only to drop it on his own foot?
Not only had they lost so many disciples, but were they really going to cede territory to the White Bone Yin Sect?
Shen Mingxiang couldn't imagine the condemnation he would face if the Huangquan Demon Sect had to give up territory to the White Bone Yin Sect because of him.
"Elder Shen, there's no need to send anyone else. I'll go up and test this guy's skills!" Li Dongze took a deep breath and said slowly.
It was all instant kills; he couldn't discern Li Chenguang's true strength at all.
Sending any other disciple would only result in more casualties.
Upon hearing Li Dongze's words, Shen Mingxiang's expression changed slightly.
Li Chenguang's strength was unfathomable. If their Holy Son also lost, it would be an extremely severe blow to the prestige of the Huangquan Demon Sect.
Tang Siqi also frowned tightly. Although Li Chenguang was arrogant, his strength was indeed somewhat unfathomable.
"Elder Shen, leave that guy to me!" Just as Shen Mingxiang was fretting, a clear voice rang out from not far away.
