The moment those words entered their ears, everyone present hurriedly shook their heads.
"We would not dare!"
"We absolutely would not dare!"
Fear and unease filled their expressions.
At this point, they no longer dared underestimate Li Yun in the slightest.
Although Li Yun appeared calm and gentle on the surface, everyone now understood clearly that beneath that peaceful appearance hid a ruthless and terrifying monster who absolutely could not be provoked.
Sun Zhen's miserable defeat had become the clearest warning possible.
Seeing that nobody dared speak further, Li Yun finally withdrew his gaze.
He slowly walked toward the enormous statue standing at the center of the palace.
The statue depicted a majestic middle-aged man whose expression radiated endless dominance and authority. Just standing before it caused one to feel a faint sense of oppression.
Li Yun guessed that this statue was most likely the Flame King himself.
