Chapter 144 Why Not Kneel? (Please Read, Subscribe, and Vote)
Just as the people of the Piaoyun Dynasty, led by the Sage King Ancestor, were marching towards the Li family in a grand procession, intending to completely annihilate the Li family, a dazzling light suddenly appeared in the distant sky.

The light, like a rapidly falling meteor, streaked across the sky and hurtled towards their location.

As the light drew closer, the crowd gradually came to see the newcomer's appearance.

Jiang Yu appeared relaxed, as if he were strolling leisurely through the air.

He wore a magnificent brocade robe, the exquisite patterns embroidered on it shimmering with a mysterious luster under the light, as if everything in this world was nothing more than a plaything in his eyes.

Beside him followed a servant with a stern face and deep, calm eyes, exuding a composed aura that commanded respect.

The dog that was mentioned repeatedly followed along majestically, yawning from time to time.

On the Piaoyun Dynasty side, when everyone saw Jiang Yu and his group swaggering in, they were first taken aback, and then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, is the Li family here to die? How dare they be so arrogant in front of us with just a few people?" a military officer said with a loud laugh.

The other generals echoed the sentiment, and laughter filled the ranks.

"Exactly! I think this guy's lost his mind. He managed to escape last time, and now he dares to come knocking on our door. He's really courting death!"

"Hmph, let alone the fact that they only have two people and a dog, even if the entire Li family were to come out, what could they do? With our ancestor here, we'll definitely beat them to a pulp and show them the might of the Piaoyun Dynasty!"

Although the civil officials did not laugh as wildly as the military generals, they all wore expressions of disdain. In their view, the Li family's actions were undoubtedly courting death.

"Your Majesty, just watch, today will be the day the Li family is destroyed. The Li family patriarch made outrageous remarks in the palace before, and now he's hiding away. He's utterly foolish. Once the patriarch takes action, he will surely take them down in one fell swoop, so that the entire Eastern Wilderness will know that my Piaoyun Dynasty is not to be trifled with!" A civil official said respectfully to the emperor, his eyes full of confidence in the Sage King Ancestor.

The emperor sat in his carriage, watching Jiang Yu and his entourage, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "Hmph, the Li family is truly arrogant and conceited. Did they think my Piaoyun Dynasty couldn't handle them last time? This time, with our patriarch personally leading the charge, we will ensure they never return, utterly crushing their arrogance!"

The Sage King Ancestor hovered in mid-air, watching Jiang Yu and the others approach. His expression was calm. "You are from the Li family? Kneel down before me."

The sage Wang Laozu spoke in a calm tone, but the meaning behind his words was extremely arrogant.

Jiang Yu shook his head. "It seems you haven't learned your lesson. Letting your Piaoyun Dynasty's sage leave was just to make your Piaoyun Dynasty submit properly, but it seems you haven't agreed."

"Speak up, what about those other people? Are they dead?"

Upon hearing Jiang Yu's words, the people of the Piaoyun Dynasty were like a powder keg that had been lit, and their anger erupted instantly.

The military officers were all so angry that their faces turned red, and their eyes were bulging like copper bells, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.

One of the generals drew his sword and swung it several times in Jiang Yu's direction, roaring, "You arrogant brat, how dare you spout such nonsense! Do you really think my Piaoyun Dynasty has no one to rely on?"

The other generals also started shouting, their clamorous roars mingling together.

"This is outrageous! We were already planning to wipe out your Li family, and you dare to tell us to submit? You are truly ignorant of your own limitations!"

"Hmph, still stubborn even when death is imminent. Wait until the ancestor deals with you all, then let's see if you can still say such things!" Although the civil officials did not impulsively draw their swords like the military generals, they were all trembling with anger, and the disdain on their faces was now completely replaced by rage.

"Your Majesty, such madmen deserve to die! Does the Li family think they can swagger in front of my Piaoyun Dynasty with a few petty tricks? This is a great humiliation to our dynasty!" A civil official, his face ashen with anger, spoke to the emperor.

The emperor sat in his carriage, his face turning extremely grim, his eyes burning with fury.

Upon hearing Jiang Yu's words, the Sage King's expression also darkened slightly.

His gaze was like lightning, fixed on Jiang Yu and the other two, and he said coldly, "Hmph, so arrogant at such a young age, quite amusing. However, since you dare to come here to die, then state your names first, so that when you die, the Li family will not forget your names. Tell me, who are you to the Li family?"

Jiang Yu remained calm and composed. He smiled slightly and said, "I am Jiang Yu of the Li family. This is a servant of my Li family ancestor. The yellow dog is my Li family's pet. As for you, you are getting so angry. Don't hurt yourselves, because you won't have the chance to shout like this later."

Jiang Yu's words added fuel to the fire, bringing the anger of the Piaoyun Dynasty people to its peak.

"Nonsense," the Saint King Ancestor said indifferently, looking at Tianyi with his hands behind his back. "You are the servant of the Li family patriarch? Heh, interesting. I couldn't sense your aura at all. What is your strength? Saint King Realm One? Or the peak of Sainthood?"

He didn't take Tianyi seriously at all. Tianyi was a Saint King, an incredibly powerful Saint King, in an era where Quasi-Emperors and Great Emperors didn't exist! He was an invincible existence!

When Tianyi heard the question from the Sage King Ancestor, his face remained calm, and he said in a flat tone with a hint of humility, "My meager strength is really not worth mentioning. I am just an ordinary servant in the Li family."

Upon hearing Tianyi's words, the people of the Piaoyun Dynasty were first taken aback, and then their faces revealed a mixture of smugness and contempt.

They thought to themselves, "So this so-called servant of the Li family is nothing special. He seems to know he is no match for his ancestor, which is why he is so humble."

Hmph, he thinks he can show off his skills in front of the ancestor?

"Hahahaha, I knew it! How much power can the Li family have? So what if they have a servant of a Saint King? They still have to submit to our ancestor!" A military general said with a loud laugh, his laughter full of sarcasm.

The other military officers also joined in the laughter, chattering and shouting:

"Exactly! Just look at his expression, you can tell he's afraid of our ancestor's reputation and is deliberately saying humble things to save face!"

"Hmph, when the Ancestor makes his move later, he'll definitely let him know that in the cultivation world, strength is the only true measure of power, and mere humility is useless!"

Although the civil officials did not laugh as wildly as the military generals, they all nodded slightly, a look of relief in their eyes.

In their view, since Tianyi was so humble, it meant that he was aware of the gap between himself and the Sage King Ancestor. Therefore, the Li family's reliance on him didn't seem so scary.

"Is that so? Since you know you're outmatched, why don't you kneel?"

The Sage King Ancestor said calmly.
