Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 720 - Submission
Chapter 720: Chapter 720 Submission Chapter 720: Chapter 720 Submission The Elders outside the Council Hall hastened over and asked, “What do we do?”
Long Zaitian’s face was so dark it could swallow someone alive. What to do? How the hell would he know what to do?
Even the Great Elder, who had just broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm, couldn’t withstand a single finger from Li Xiaoyao. Looking across the Long Family, who else could stand as his match?
If Li Xiaoyao really wanted to kill them, it would probably be as simple as turning over his hand.
Long Zaitian’s heart was filled with endless regret. Knowing what he knew now, why had he ever started this?
If he had known that Li Xiaoyao would become this powerful, he would have used all the family’s resources to kill him off completely before he could grow.
But lamenting now was useless.
...
There is no medicine for regret in this world, the only options left were to flee or to beg for mercy.
But could he escape?
While Li Xiaoyao was now absorbed in taking in the spiritual energy, he and a few Elders could possibly escape, perhaps finding a slim chance of survival. But what about the clan members below?
Should they just leave them behind, not caring about their life or death?
If he really did that, even if he skulked away to survive, what difference would it make from being dead?
“You all lead the clan members to retreat first,” Long Zaitian took a deep breath and said solemnly.
“You…”
Long Zaitian interrupted them, saying, “Now, immediately, take the clan members and leave! I will make him let you go.”
The three Elders hesitated, their eyes flickering, but ultimately they gritted their teeth and turned to leave.
Inside the crimson pillar of light, the little man in Li Xiaoyao’s Dantian was swallowing spiritual energy at an extremely fast pace. In merely a few minutes, the column of light visibly dimmed at a rate apparent to the naked eye.
“Not enough, just a bit more.” Li Xiaoyao’s eyebrows were slightly furrowed as he kept his eyes closed, but suddenly he opened them, flicked a finger toward the already dead Long Yan, breaking open his Dantian, and a semi-transparent little man shot out, steered into the palm of Li Xiaoyao.
The small figure had a frightened look on its face and, shocking as it was, let out Long Yan’s voice.
“Don’t kill me!” This nascent Nascent Soul, containing a wisp of Long Yan’s consciousness, had not yet fully integrated with his soul.
Li Xiaoyao’s lips curled into a sneer and he scoffed coldly, “If I don’t kill you, how can I break through?”
With a flick of his finger, Long Yan’s consciousness was wiped away, and Li Xiaoyao opened his mouth to swallow it whole.
The Nascent Soul might appear no larger than a palm, but the energy contained within it was so concentrated that it made one’s soul tremble.
“Truly delicious!” Satisfied, he licked his lips, and the suction from his Dantian surged instantly. The few remnants of spiritual energy left in the blood-colored column turned into a small tornado in this moment, funneling into his body.
“Boom!”
Within his body, an invisible roar exploded, and Li Xiaoyao felt as if his soul itself was being cleansed in that instant, his pleasure so intense it made him shiver.
Waves of powerful aura burst out from his body, like ocean tides spreading in every direction and sweeping across the area.
The green-bricked ground below, under the blast of this energy wave, was suddenly torn apart, soil flew into the air, and the bricks shattered into powder upon hitting the ground.
His eyes slowly opened, revealing an ominous, golden flame flickering within his pupils.
His palm tightened slightly, feeling the relentless surge of energy within his body, Li Xiaoyao revealed a smile of satisfaction.
Since his breakthrough to the Spirit Condensation Realm in the Secret Realm half a month ago, Li Xiaoyao had finally made another breakthrough, reaching the first stage of the Spirit Condensation Realm!
This breakthrough, it must be said, was an unexpected joy. Without the aid of the pure spiritual energy from Long Yan’s breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm, it would have taken him at least half a year to achieve this on his own.
Now, this blood-colored column of light had shortened the breakthrough time by ninety percent.
Sometimes, luck is so overwhelming that it simply can’t be stopped.
Glancing below, Li Xiaoyao noticed that the plaza beneath was empty, devoid of anyone from the Long Family; all their clan members had disappeared.
No, there was one person left: Long Zaitian.
He stood in the center of the plaza, with the totemic symbol of the Long Family behind him.
A gigantic pillar of white rock, a dragon carved in blood-red scales, winding its way up around the column.
Under the spread of his mind, the whereabouts of the Long Family members were all revealed.
Li Xiaoyao treaded on air, and the moment he stepped away from the blood-colored column, the already fading light vanished instantly from the sky.
Li Xiaoyao approached Long Zaitian, and before he could speak, Long Zaitian took the initiative: “Spare the members and Elders of my Long Family, and you can have my life if you want it.”
“Oh?” Li Xiaoyao was somewhat surprised, not expecting Long Zaitian to be so courageous.
“Your life is worthless,” Li Xiaoyao said with a disdainful smile, stepping towards him. “You have no right to negotiate terms with me. If I want to kill you, it would be effortless; if I wish to annihilate your Long Family, no one can stop me!”
Every word was filled with absolute power and was indisputably commanding, every sentence only adding to Long Zaitian’s despair.
Because he realized, Li Xiaoyao was speaking the truth. No matter how he resisted, it seemed he could never escape from the palm of Li Xiaoyao’s hand.

“However…” Li Xiaoyao’s tone shifted, and Long Zaitian felt a glimmer of hope, he immediately asked, “What do you mean ‘however’? As long as you are willing to spare the members of my Long Family, whether you want to kill or slice, I am at your disposal!”
Long Zaitian was ready for the worst, if he intended to flee, he would have already done so, but he couldn’t bear to abandon so many of his kin. He wouldn’t know how to face his ancestors even in death.
Therefore, if his death today could ensure the Long Family’s continued existence in the world, it would be worth it.
“However, from today onward, I want your Long Family to completely submit to my Li Family!” A sudden surge of domineering aura burst from Li Xiaoyao, the force of which made Long Zaitian feel so oppressed he didn’t dare look up.
“Submit…” Long Zaitian’s eyes flickered, his brows knotted in unwillingness.
Li Xiaoyao saw his conflict but was indifferent. He flicked some non-existent dust off his clothes and said, “You can choose to refuse, but the price of refusal is the lives of your entire Long Family.”
Long Zaitian’s head shot up suddenly: “You…”
Li Xiaoyao interrupted him: “Don’t talk to me about human ethics or how disaster shouldn’t extend to the family. The moment you sought revenge and threatened me by moving against the Xuan Sect, you lost the right to speak of these things in front of me.”
“If you can’t submit to me, in my eyes, you are an enemy. And I have only one principle when it comes to enemies!” At this point, a chilling light burst from Li Xiaoyao’s eyes: “Kill!”
Long Zaitian’s body trembled, and in that moment, Li Xiaoyao’s being released a terrifyingly dense killing intent, instilling him with deep unease and fear.
“So, tell me now, what is your choice?” Li Xiaoyao looked directly into his eyes, waiting for his answer.
“Huff~” Long Zaitian let out a long breath. The situation had escalated to this point; it seemed there was no room to turn back. Other than resigning himself to submit, what else could he do?
