Chapter 2574: Ice Flame Continent 31

Kang Li's elevation to Clan Leader reflected his past as a formidable figure.

Over time, his edge had been dulled by cultivation and clan responsibilities, but he remained resilient—a person not easily intimidated.

The First Elder's veiled threat was not lost on Kang Li.

Kang Shi's insight held truth.

Having endured substantial mistreatment as a man, Kang Li pondered the futility of continued tolerance. If life meant enduring such treatment, he might as well face it head-on; trying was more satisfying than resignation.

In the face of this internal resolve, why concern himself with the First Elder?

Kang Li regarded the First Elder impassively. "Let's set aside the Medicine Sect. I appreciate your well-meaning intentions, First Elder ~"

With those words, he offered a smile. "There are still matters in the clan that require my attention. I'll go and take a look."

The First Elder responded with a forced, fake smile.
