Chapter 409

Chapter 409: What if I don’t?

Wenger chose to wait, and Li Bai did not take the initiative to attack.

After all, anyone who attacked him would have their attack rebound, and if someone were killed by their own reflected magic, he couldn’t be blamed for using his strength against the weak.

Anyway, if you didn’t attack me, how could you die?

In the restaurant, Li Bai glanced at Wenger and the others, then returned to his private room’s dining table.

He had intentionally protected his dining table and the dishes and fine wine on it, which suffered almost no damage.

On the other side, seeing Li Bai casually return to drink, Wenger’s brow furrowed.

This man was so fearless; did he not fear the royal family’s protectors and ancestors?

Moreover, judging by his demeanor, he seemed to have no intention of assassinating the prince of the empire.

If he were also an assassin targeting the prince, he should have gone all out.

Could it be that he really wasn’t an assassin, and Wenger had wronged him?

However, regardless of whether he was wronged or not, he had appeared at the same time as the assassins; a person like that wouldn’t be let go for a mistake.

Just as Li Bai resumed drinking and eating, several shooting stars streaked across the sky.

Simultaneously, powerful pressure enveloped the entire restaurant.

“Who dares to be so audacious as to assassinate the imperial royalty?” a commanding voice thundered.

“It’s Great Magic Tutor Ryan! Great Magic Tutor Ryan has arrived!”

Upon hearing the voice, the two princes and the princess were filled with excitement.

Great Magic Tutor Ryan was one of the most powerful protectors of the royal family.

In an era without the holy magic tutors, the great magic tutors represented the pinnacle of magic.

“Great Magic Tutor Ryan, we are here!” a prince of the elves shouted loudly to the outside.

Hearing the voice, an elderly figure soon appeared inside the restaurant.

“Fourth Prince, Sixth Prince, and Nineteenth Princess, are you all alright?” the old magic tutor inquired of the three princes and princess.

“Great Magic Tutor Ryan, we are fine, but all our protectors have died; you must avenge us!” an elf prince said through gritted teeth, looking towards Li Bai’s room.

At that moment, several arriving great magic tutors also appeared outside the restaurant, surrounding it completely.

In such a situation, those surrounded by them would be unable to escape, unless they were holy magic tutors.

But if the opponent were a holy magic tutor, would they still need to assassinate several princes and princesses of the Elf Empire?

It would be like a Tribulation stage great emperor from the cultivation world attempting to assassinate the holy son or holy maiden of a sacred land — it would be utterly disgraceful.

Thus, nearly everyone believed that Li Bai was not a holy magic tutor.

After all, what could a holy magic tutor possibly want that they couldn’t have?

Even if they wanted to carve out a territory and establish a nation on this planet, no one would dare oppose them.

“Who are you, and why did you attempt to assassinate our empire’s princes and princesses?” Ryan looked at Li Bai with piercing eyes.

He guessed that the young man before him was likely a great magic tutor like himself, after all, it was certain that he was stronger than Wenger, able to send a distress signal to him indicated his powerful cultivation level.

However, since he had several great magic tutors on his side, Ryan felt no fear.

“I’m just here to watch the excitement. Do you believe me?” Li Bai took a sip of wine, clicked his tongue twice, and lightly glanced at Ryan.

“Do you think I am easy to fool?” Ryan frowned. “You killed so many guards, and now you tell me you just came to watch? Do you think I would believe that?”

“If you don’t believe it, then forget it.” Li Bai was too lazy to engage in further conversation.

It was enough for him to explain once; he wouldn’t provide a detailed justification for himself.

He was not a criminal, and Ryan had no right to judge him.

Hearing Li Bai’s dismissive tone, Ryan felt anger rising within him.

This person was far too audacious, completely disregarding them.

“Wenger, take the princes and princesses away from here.” Ryan ordered Wenger.

Upon hearing Ryan’s command, Wenger quickly led the two princes and one princess to escape through a window on the other side.

Seeing this situation, Li Bai did not stop them.

As long as they did not attack him, he would not initiate bullying against the younger generation.

“Sir, please come with us. If you are not an assassin, we will naturally ensure your fairness,” Ryan said to Li Bai after Wenger had left with the princes and princesses, his tone slightly serious.

“What if I do not go?” Li Bai asked lightly.

“Then you won’t have a choice.”

After Ryan spoke, he led several great magic tutors toward Li Bai to exert pressure.

Feeling the powerful pressure equivalent to the Great Ascension stage, Li Bai couldn’t be bothered to move.

“Sir, please come with us.” Ryan insisted.

With that, he directly pulled out an eighth-tier magic scroll for confinement.

Such a scroll was crafted by a holy magic tutor and could completely confine a peak seventh-stage great magic tutor.

However, when Ryan threw the confinement scroll, it did not even approach Li Bai; it spontaneously ignited in mid-air and turned to ash in an instant.

Seeing this, Ryan and the other great magic tutors were both shocked.

At this moment, Li Bai was growing increasingly annoyed by their presence.

He directly unleashed his divine sense pressure equivalent to a Tribulation stage great emperor.

With a wave of his hand, several great magic tutors were sent flying backward.

“Do not disturb me.”

The next moment, Li Bai’s calm voice reached the ears of the great magic tutors.

“A holy magic tutor…”

On the other side, sensing Li Bai’s immense pressure and the energy they could not resist, the great magic tutors finally realized that the man before them was indeed a holy magic tutor.

In this moment, everyone believed that this holy magic tutor was not joking; he was truly not here to assassinate the princes and princesses.

With the power of a holy magic tutor, attempting to kill several princes and princesses was unimaginable; even if the strongest guards were only sixth-stage magic tutors, there was no way they could be adequately protected, even hiding within the palace.

Thus, there was only one possibility left: this person was not an assassin.

Moreover, no one could hire a holy magic tutor as an assassin.

Although the empire had several holy magic tutors stationed, each of them was in seclusion, hoping to break through their final tribulation and ascend to the Divine Realm.

Therefore, it was generally difficult to see a holy magic tutor appear in public.

Countries would strive to win over newly emerged holy magic tutors, certainly not make enemies of them.

So in a moment, as Ryan soared through the air, his pleas for mercy echoed.

“We have offended the holy magic tutor, and we deserve to die a thousand times. Please, holy magic tutor, do not be angry…”
