296 LI MENG’S REVENGE-(1)

Soon enough the figures appeared within the core hall of the Mad-lions. The two emperors were waiting for Li Meng’s arrival. The two figures looked at LI meng who was calmly standing in front of them.

“You seems to have lived up to your words. I am surprised by the extent of your means. I didn’t expect you to be able to eliminate half of the coalition forces.”

“I could have taken care of the whole group if you would have presented with a better team. I guess the Mad-lions are not satisfied with my actions.” Li Meng looked at Lion Ti. The two leaders didn’t understand what he meant. They told Lion Ti to provide him with skilled force.

“I don’t understand what you meant with your accusation.” One of the two emperors looked at Lion Ti, who was smiling nervously while looking at them.

“What I meant was the blatant use of power by your servant to provide me with lousy men who couldn’t even follow orders properly, and useless during a fight with the coalition forces. I had to use some other means to take care of those bastards. It would have been a lot easier if you had just provided me with the proper force to go with.”

Lion Ti didn’t expect Li Meng to be so blunt in his accusation. He couldn’t deny the fact, since Li meng had already proven his capability.

“He acted on my orders.” The other emperor stepped in to save face for Lion Ti. ” I just wanted to test your capabilities in leading the group. You did well. I am completely satisfied with your achievements. That is all we did.”

“As an apology for my actions, I would like to provide your group with the title of a second-grade authority within the coalition. You will be directly under the Mad-lions. As per your position, you can act as one of the vice-masters of the coalition.”

“Another position will be created for your leader.” LI meng was surprised by the drastic actions taken by the Mad-lions’s leader. He had a good grasp of control over any kind of situation.

.....

“I hope you are satisfied with these conditions. In addition, we will also allow you and the leader of your group to enter and choose treasures from the Mad-lion’s treasury. You could each choose to take 2.” Li Meng’s impression of the two leaders was increasing by the second. The two managed to adapt to the situation quite well.

“I thank the leaders for their generosity.” Li Meng bowed and said to the two men.

“We like to get a detailed report from you. Just how did you manage to carry out the mission?”

“Well, I managed to use some of our group’s treasures to Formulate an area attack and take care of the enemy forces. I am pretty sure that more than half of them are dead. As per the remaining, most of them are gravely injured and wouldn’t be able to take any actions against us.”

“I watched the city forces, retreat quite fast. They should be near the city as of now.”

“Why didn’t you eliminate the enemy?” The leader asked Li Meng.

“My men were exhausted from the battle and wouldn’t be to continue the momentum. We were forced to retreat.”

“My scouts informed me something else about the mission. They aid that there was an explosion within the enemy camp, which was arranged by you. Not only did you not tell us the truth about your attack, but you also try to say that your men were exhausted.”

“Someone told me that was all they did. I guess the Mad-lions didn’t believe me after all.” The leader who just spoke up felt like he had fallen into Li Meng’s trap.

“I also didn’t hide anything from you. I just didn’t give out the whole information to you. Yet you not only set spies on my tail but also accuse me o flying. Is this how Mad-lions treat their benefactors.” Li Meng rasied hi svoice. ” I guess your words earlier were just filled with crap.”

He then looked at the two leaders and said.” DO you take me to be some weak wimp, who will fear your threats?” A murderous expression appeared on Li Meng’s face. The three figures who saw the expression felt a shiver in their soul. They were Qi Emperor, but a Qi King managed to give them a good scare. This was embarrassing.

“We were just kidding earlier, brother Li. You shouldn’t take the words of my younger brother seriously. We would like a truthful account from you.” The eldest brother spoke up.

“I said the truth earlier. The men you provided me with were involved in the whole preparation and hence are completely exhausted from the secret mission. The efforts that went into executing this dangerous mission is quite immense. Their mind and body are exhausted. I can’t continue the killing, as it would only result in my group being eliminated.”

“I will trust brother Li’s words for now. I find that the rewards provided earlier are too little for someone of your calibre. I would like to propose another deal with you. You are sure to profit from it.”

“I would love to hear it.” Li Meng spoke.

“I would like for you to join the Mad-lions as our vice-leader. What do you say? Your rank will be right below us two, and you will be the lord commander of the Mad-lion army. All of its forces will be available for you to use.”

“We would also assist you in your cultivation so that you can reach the peak of Qi King as soon as possible. We would also protect you when you break through the Qi Emperor level. Given your laws are powerful enough, you might even be awarded the position of leader of Mad-lions shortly.”

Lion Ti’s expression was aghast on hearing this. Even the second brother was shocked to hear the proposal of the eldest. They didn’t expect him to try so hard to win over Li meng. Was he worth that much?

“I have to thank you for considering me worthy of recruitment. Your proposal also seems to be fair. Would you give me some time to figure things out and give you my reply?” Li Meng requested.

“You have until the end of tomorrow to decide. I will be awaiting your reply.” The eldest’s body suddenly emanated QI which began to suppress Li Meng. He felt like a huge force was pushing him down. He couldn’t believe that even after breaking through the advanced Qi Emperor realm with so many laws, he isn’t able to even resist the pressure.

“I hope you make the correct decision. It is vital for the survival of you and your group.” The eldest gave out a friendly smile.

“I will be taking my leave now.” Li Meng bowed and left the room.

The Crimson lord world-

“I am still not able to resist a newbie Qi Emperor, even after breaking through the advanced Qi King class. Is the disparity so strong.”

“It’s not about the disparity, but rather the condition under which you confronted him. He is not a newbie Qi Emperor. He is currently on the verge of entering the 4th level of Qi King. He must be talented with more than three earthen laws at the very least.”

“Another reason is the fact that you haven’t cultivated your body recently. While your Qi is in the Qi King level, your body cultivation isn’t. Only when you completely break through the QI King level would the Hell-forge scripture provide you with any new arts.”

“You can’t compare your current condition according to what you’ve experienced before breaking through Qi King level. Even if you manage to completely break through the QI King level with all your clones, you would still need to spend a lot of time within it before you could break through the next level.”

Long Tao calmed his head down. The Keeper’s word was filled with merit. He hadn’t followed the same procedure as when he cultivated in the previous four levels. There was still Hell-forge and Crinson world art to practice for the Qi King layer.

“Another aspect which has been neglected for some time now is the body cultivation. You haven’t even seen the art which would help you to cultivate the next level of body cultivation.”

“I wanted to push through the level fast since the Royal road is approaching near. I need to prove myself to get a ticket.” Long Tao’s objective was to conquer the whole royal road. The exam might provide him with immense power along with the secret of entering the Qi Monarch level.

The resources collected until now could only sustain him for the Qi Emperor level. QI Monarch and above would require a whole other set of resources which was of much higher quality.

“We still have time for the next competition to occur. You could use the time to grow up and become powerful enough.”

“I guess I should concentrate on the matter at hand.”

.................

Mad-lion’s core hall-

“Was it worth it to offer so many rewards to Li Meng?” The second brother and Lion Ti were waiting for the eldest’s reply.

“He seems to be hiding his means. He didn’t even flinch when I tried to pressurise him with my aura, and I am about to break through the 4th level. We need such men within our group if we wish to conquer the Taiwan mountains. We both know that the minimum requirement to even think about entering the central zone is for us to have at least three Qi Emperors in the intermediate level.”

“What do you think about the strongest power residing within the core region of Taiwan mountains. They have controlled the region for god knows how long. Their leader is at the peak of Qi emperors. They might even be of some higher level. DO you think we three would be able to capture the whole mountain with just our strength?”

The two people understood the eldest’s intentions. They were about to say something when an explosion was heard within the Mad-lion’s base camp.
