"Damn it! The Li family must have been plotting all along; otherwise, how could they have kept it so secret?" Lei Tian looked at the Jade Slip in his hand, which recorded the downfall of three families and the Li family's quick dispatch to take over, filled with anger and hatred.
If he had known that Li Zhirui was at Golden Core Perfection, he definitely wouldn't have acted so recklessly.
Although he is still the Sect Leader now, that's only because the successor has not yet been decided. Once the decision is made, Lei Tian is likely to be immediately ousted!
Is Lei Tian willing to accept that? Of course not! Who would easily let go after savoring the taste of power?
But what can he do? The fact that Shen Leishan didn't throw him out to take the blame and didn't impose any punishment has already saved his face. To ask for more would be graceless.
