Chapter 211 Li Tian Dominates Lingjiu Palace: From Seizing Power to Crisis
Finally, she nodded slowly, "Okay, Li Tian, I'll listen to you. But if you treat me like this again, I will die with you even if it costs me my life."
Li Tian smiled with satisfaction, "Tong Lao, as long as you are obedient, I will not embarrass you again. Gather the people from the Nine Heavens and Eight Divisions of Lingjiu Palace and declare that Lingjiu Palace belongs to me."
Although Tianshan Tonglao was full of resentment towards Li Tian, she did not dare to resist any more. She endured the pain in her body and the humiliation in her heart, and summoned the people of the Nine Heavens and Eight Divisions of Lingjiu Palace according to Li Tian's request.
Soon, everyone in the Lingjiu Palace gathered in the main hall. When they saw the embarrassed look of Tianshan Tonglao, they all showed expressions of surprise and confusion.
Tianshan Child-Father took a deep breath and said slowly: "Today, I want to tell you something. This Li Tian, he... he has the ability to solve the shortcomings of my practice, and he also has unique insights and methods for the development of Lingjiu Palace. From now on, Lingjiu Palace will be handed over to him, and you must all obey his arrangements."
Everyone was suddenly in an uproar and started talking about it.
"Grandma, what's going on? Why do you suddenly want to hand over Lingjiu Palace to him?" asked a woman from the Nine Heavens and Eight Divisions.
"Yes, grandma, how can we easily trust a stranger?" another person echoed.
Tianshan Tonglao's face darkened, "Shut up! I have made my decision, all you have to do is follow it."
Although everyone still had doubts in their hearts, seeing the Tianshan Child-Fairy's firm attitude, they did not dare to say anything more.
Li Tian stood aside with a smug smile on his face.
He cleared his throat and said, "Dear sisters of Lingjiu Palace, now that I, Li Tian, have taken over Lingjiu Palace, I will do my best to make Lingjiu Palace's position in the martial arts world more stable."
Then, Li Tian began to arrange the affairs of Lingjiu Palace. He first redistributed the responsibilities of the Nine Heavens and Eight Divisions, letting them perform their respective duties and improve efficiency. Then, he organized the disciples to practice and personally guided them in the methods of practice and martial arts techniques.
Under Li Tian's management, Lingjiu Palace gradually underwent some changes. The strength of the disciples was significantly improved, and the atmosphere in the palace became more harmonious.
However, Tianshan Tonglao always harbored resentment towards Li Tian, and she was always looking for an opportunity to break free from Li Tian's control.
One day, Tianshan Tonglao secretly discussed with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum while Li Tian was out.
"Plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, I really can't tolerate what Li Tian did. We must find a way to take back Lingjiu Palace." Tianshan Tonglao said in a low voice.
"Grandma, Li Tian is too strong. What should we do?" Mei Jian asked worriedly.
Tianshan Tonglao pondered for a moment and said, "I heard there is a kind of poison that is colorless and tasteless, and can make people lose their power without knowing it. We can try to find this poison, and then find a chance to poison Li Tianxia."
"Grandma, isn't it too risky to do this? What if Li Tian finds out, we'll..." Ju Jian said hesitantly.
"We can't care about that. If we don't take action, Lingjiu Palace will be destroyed by Li Tian sooner or later." Tianshan Tonglao said firmly.
Therefore, Tianshan Tonglao and Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju began to look for poison in secret. After some twists and turns, they finally found a poison that met their requirements.
One night, Tianshan Tonglao personally cooked a table of sumptuous dishes for Li Tian. She secretly put poison in one of the dishes and then asked someone to invite Li Tian.
Li Tian came to the restaurant and saw the table full of delicious food, but he didn't suspect anything.
He smiled and said to the Child-Grandma of Tianshan: "Child-Grandma, why is it so abundant today?"
Tianshan Child-Granny forced a smile and said, "Li Tian, you have worked hard since taking over Lingjiu Palace. This is something I specially prepared for you. I hope you like it."
Li Tian sat down and began to taste the dishes. When he ate the poisoned dish, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his body.
"You...you actually poisoned!" Li Tian pointed at Tianshan Tonglao angrily.
Tianshan Child-Grandma sneered, "Li Tian, you asked for this. Today is the day for you to pay for everything!"
After that, Tianshan Tonglao and Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum attacked Li Tian together.
Although Li Tian was poisoned, this ordinary mortal poison could not have much impact on him as a cultivator. He just had a stomachache for a while and then returned to normal.
Li Tian's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery, "Tong Lao, do you think you can deal with me with such a small trick? You are too naive."
He waved his hand lightly, and a powerful force pushed back the Tianshan Tonglao and the four people, Mei, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum.
"I wanted to give you a chance to live a good life in Lingjiu Palace. Since you are so ungrateful, don't blame me for being rude." Li Tian said coldly.
Li Tian decided to teach Tianshan Tonglao and the others a profound lesson. He cast a spell again to imprison Tianshan Tonglao and Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju in the same place, making them unable to move.
"From now on, you will reflect on your actions. I will set up stronger restrictions in Lingjiu Palace. If you make any more treasonous moves, the consequences will be disastrous."
After that, Li Tian began to set up powerful barriers and prohibitions in various places in Lingjiu Palace to ensure that everything in the palace was under his control. At the same time, he also strengthened the management of his disciples and made them more loyal to him through some means.
After this incident, the disciples of Lingjiu Palace became more respectful of Li Tian and dared not think of disobeying him. However, during the days of their imprisonment, Tianshan Tonglao and Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju were filled with regret and helplessness.
As time went by, Li Tian gradually built Lingjiu Palace into a more powerful force. He used the immortal cultivation method and his own wisdom to continuously improve the status of Lingjiu Palace in the martial arts world, attracting the attention of many people in the martial arts world.
However, Li Tian's ambition did not stop there. He began to plan a bigger plan, wanting to expand the influence of Lingjiu Palace to the entire world.
Tianshan Tonglao, Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju gradually realized that Li Tian was powerful and irresistible. They began to reflect on their own behavior and tried to find an opportunity to reconcile with Li Tian.
One day, Tianshan Tonglao plucked up the courage and expressed her regret to Li Tian.
"Li Tian, we know we were wrong. We were too confused before and shouldn't have tried to resist you. I hope you can give us a chance to serve Lingjiu Palace again."
Li Tian looked at Tianshan Tonglao and thought in his heart. He knew that Tianshan Tonglao and others still had a certain influence in Lingjiu Palace. If he could make them sincerely surrender, it would be of great help to his plan.
"Okay, Tong Lao. Since you realize your mistakes, I can give you a chance. But you must remember, from now on, you must absolutely obey my orders. If you make the same mistake again, I will never let you off easily." Li Tian said seriously.
The Child-like Grandma of Tianshan and the four ladies, Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum, quickly nodded in agreement.
From then on, they wholeheartedly assisted Li Tian in managing Lingjiu Palace.
Just when Lingjiu Palace was united and developing vigorously, a sudden crisis quietly arrived.
