Li Yi knows very well that intimidating others relies not on words, but on force, pure force. Without force that instills fear, one's prestige cannot be established. Why does the Emperor command such reverence? Because the Emperor wields the ultimate power of life and death over the civil and military officials, possessing supreme authority must be accompanied by supreme strength.
If there is no strength, even the Emperor would be overshadowed and ignored.
Therefore, Li Yi acts decisively, his Fist Intent intimidating the officials, disregarding their protective Incense Fire Belief Power, allowing them to experience the fearsome might of a pure Martial Artist.
Beneath his Fist Intent.
