"Oh? Emperor Li, you dare attack me?"
The middle-aged man sneered. Even if he was just a subordinate, a mere servant, he still came from the Hall of Envoys.
He didn't believe the Mountain and Sea Empire had the guts to offend him, much less the combat strength to match him.
Otherwise, they would have used it eleven years ago.
"Don't say I didn't warn you. My Young Master will be arriving soon. If you know what's good for you, you know what to do!"
However, he had overestimated his own intimidating presence and underestimated Li Shimu's mettle.
"Audacious scoundrel! To still dare spout such arrogant nonsense at a time like this! You deserve death!"
With those words, Li Shimu had sealed the middle-aged man's fate. It was a death sentence.
If the middle-aged man had just backed down, even if he had merely fallen silent or left immediately, Li Shimu would have chosen to turn a blind eye.
But no, he just had to put Li Shimu in an impossible position in front of so many people.
