"I…" Gu Zhijie completely panicked. He recalled his arrogance and rudeness just now and felt a wave of regret. He never expected Ye Qiu to be the supreme Deity of the Heaven Mending Holy Land.
The commotion made the atmosphere even tenser. Everyone looked over, including some ancient clan leaders. Even Yu Changsheng looked over in surprise.
Ye Qiu silently looked at the flustered Gu Zhijie. There was no emotion on his face. However, there was endless anger hidden under this calm coldness.
Everyone could feel the shocking anger in the air. Surging murderous aura blew over, and the atmosphere became even more oppressive. Gu Zhiqiu immediately understood that if he didn't stand up at this time, his stupid second brother and even his Gu family would probably be implicated.
He hurriedly came out to apologize and said, "Young friend Ye, my second brother was rude just now and offended you. I apologize to you."
This humble apology didn't earn Ye Qiu's respect. He looked at Gu Zhiqiu expressionlessly. "And who do you think you are?"
Ye Qiu didn't like this kind of apology. At this point, he still wanted to take advantage of his age? In this world, strength was the truth. Age was a joke. The other party called Ye Qiu 'Young friend' because he wanted to take advantage of being an older person. If Ye Qiu refused to let it go, it would be because he didn't know etiquette. If it was an ordinary person, they would probably really agree. However, Ye Qiu didn't fall for it.
Ye Qiu looked around and silently took out a divine saber that was emitting flames. He said coldly, "Coincidentally, I obtained an immortal treasure today. The divine saber hasn't been sharpened yet, so I'll use you as a sacrifice."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere instantly reached a climax. Everyone was stunned as they looked at the divine saber with astonishing immortal energy.
At this moment, even the Patriarch of the Yu Clan, Yu Changsheng, cast a shocked gaze, followed by a trace of greed. "Primordial Chaos Immortal Treasure! This kid is really generous. Where did he come from?"
For a moment, Yu Changsheng fell into deep thought. He looked at the divine saber and liked it even more.
On the other hand, the moment Gu Zhiqiu saw the divine saber, he, who had always been calm, panicked. "Elder Ku!" He looked at Ku Muhai with a pleading gaze. He knew in his heart that Ye Qiu wasn't a reasonable person. Benevolence and morals didn't work on him at all.
Moreover, he wasn't as easy to deal with as Jiang Ling'er. The moment Ye Qiu took out his divine saber, Gu Zhiqiu's heart instantly turned to ashes. He understood that today's farce was destined to be unable to end.
Ye Qiu's aura was too strong. As his shocking killing intent was exposed, the entire hall became oppressive.
Jiang Ling'er also looked over in shock.
"What a terrifying murderous aura. This person's strength is probably not below Ming Yue." Jiang Ling'er was incomparably shocked. She originally thought that in the entire Heaven Mending Holy Land, only Ming Yue could compete with her.
Unexpectedly, there was actually such a terrifying existence hidden in this Heaven Mending Holy Land. Her eyes revealed a trace of infatuation, as if she had found another powerful opponent. Her fighting spirit gradually became excited.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting stiffer and stiffer, and that he could not end the scene, Ku Muhai could only brace himself and walk out when he saw Gu Zhiqiu's pleading gaze. He regretted it very much. He didn't expect Ye Qiu to be so stubborn. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have let Gu Zhijie do this.
All the reasons came from him, so he should resolve it. He knew that he couldn't defeat Ye Qiu and knew how terrifying Ye Qiu was. However, if he chose to sit back and do nothing today, he would lose his most loyal follower. It would be difficult for him to make a comeback in the future.
Left with no choice, Ku Muhai slowly walked out and said, "Your Highness, this person is arrogant and condescending. He offended Your Highness and is punishable by death! However, the Gu Clan of Tianlong City and I have been good friends for many years. I wonder if Your Highness can spare him this time.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. When we return, I will definitely teach this reckless thing a lesson so that he won't come out to cause trouble in the future." After saying this, Ku Muhai's face turned pale. This was more like begging. He hoped Ye Qiu would give him face.
However, Ye Qiu only looked at him coldly and said, "Looks like Elder Ku also wants to test the power of my divine saber? Alright, come at me together! I don't mind another soul under my saber."
As soon as these words were spoken, Ku Muhai's heart turned cold. He immediately understood that Ye Qiu really didn't give him any face.
Feeling embarrassed, Ku Muhai immediately cursed, "Ye Qiu, don't go too far. This is the Zenith Heaven Hall, not your Violet Cloud Training Hall. There are rules at the sect. You can't do whatever you want."
Hearing this, Ye Qiu smiled and said, "Then I'll do it. What can you do?"
"You!" Ku Muhai was so angry that his face turned red. Seeing this, Gu Zhiqiu also stood up and threatened, "Sir, don't go too far. Although you're the Deity, we respect Elder Meng, not you. If you insist on being stubborn, hmph… My Tianlong City's Gu family is not to be trifled with."
At this point, Ye Qiu immediately smiled. Was this a threat? Not bad. It seemed like the Gu family of Tianlong City was on the list of enemies he wanted to visit. Ye Qiu had offended too many people and didn't mind a few more. He wasn't worried at all.
"Alright, then I'll see if you're to be trifled with." With a smile, Ye Qiu stretched out his hand and grabbed the divine saber. He was about to experiment with the terrifying realm of the Dragon Slayer Technique that he had cultivated bitterly for many days.
Just as they were about to fight, an old voice sounded. "Haha… Young friends, you can't make a big fuss at such a grand event. Peace is the most important."
Everyone looked over and saw Yu Changsheng walking over with a smile. As soon as he appeared, the scene instantly fell silent. Everyone revealed reverence.
Gu Zhiqiu cast a grateful gaze. He did not expect Yu Changsheng, this old powerhouse, to speak up for them at this critical moment.
Ku Muhai heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that if they really fought, they might not be Ye Qiu's match even if they were tied together. Now, if Yu Changsheng stood up and spoke, Ye Qiu would more or less give him some face with his status in the martial world, right?
After all, this old powerhouse was an expert of the older generation of the Dao Sacrificial realm. His strength and status were something that even a ruthless person like Ye Wuhen had to respect.
Jiang Ling'er, who was beside Yaya, couldn't help but frown when she heard Yu Changsheng's words. "Why is this old fellow joining in the fun at this time? Could it be that he wants to win people over?"
