At the very instant Li Sui embraced Li Huowang, his body faded into a mist, passed right through the Xuan Pin Taoist Robe, and appeared before Huangfu Tiangang.
The atmosphere in the room tightened instantly, but this time Li Huowang did not attack. He just stood there, barely three inches from Huangfu Tiangang, staring at him.
Although Huangfu Tiangang was blind, he could clearly sense Li Huowang's murderous intent. His beard trembled slightly as he spoke, calm and dignified: "Li Huowang, think carefully. Between the White Lotus Sect and the people of Da Qi and Da Liang, whose lives matter more?"
"Da Qi is only losing some people to starvation, and you can't bear to see it. But if a real fight breaks out, no matter who wins or loses, at least half the people will die—can you stomach that?"
