"The affairs of Liang Country should ultimately be resolved by the people of Liang Country... As I've said, this matter is of the utmost importance. I will not permit any more accidents to occur."
Bai Zichen restated his demand in a tone that brooked no refusal.
"Tomorrow, I will ascend Qii Mountain. The Celestial Principle Sect need only observe from the sidelines. If I am defeated, you may continue your assault at your own pace. If I slay Qu Yang, you will be credited with great merit for the Holy Lotus Sect's destruction, and you may take half the spoils from their treasury. The Qii Mountain Spirit Vein and jurisdiction over the Central Province, however, will belong to the Qingfeng Sect."
"You've gone too far!"
Shi Chengdong's fury was uncontrollable. No longer suppressing the rage in his heart, he glared at Bai Zichen.
