To everyone, no matter what the cause of this conflict was, it was completely out of control now that it had developed to this point and a huge battle was inevitable.
With two Scarlet Vulture guards dead, there was no way Bald Vulture would back down in front of everyone – he had to seek justice.
Otherwise, it would not be just him; the reputation of the entire Scarlet Vulture guards in the capital would be tarnished.
Right now, the bearded man's attitude was akin to adding fuel to the fire.
There was even less reason for Bald Vulture and the Scarlet Vulture guards to back down.
In reality, contrary to everyone's expectations, Bald Vulture was caught between a rock and a hard place.
"Where did Mu Dongqing get his hands on a supreme-grade spirit weapon? Damn it!"
Bald Vulture cursed internally with an imperceptible hint of jealousy in his eyes.
Although he was the commander of the Scarlet Vulture guards, he had not obtained a single supreme-grade spirit weapon after all these years.
Under normal circumstances, with him holding back the bearded man in a huge battle, the other Scarlet Vulture guards would be able to suppress the green-robed cultivator with ease.
But now, the bearded man had suddenly taken out a supreme-grade spirit weapon …
He was weaker than the bearded man to begin with.
Coupled with that supreme-grade spirit weapon, Bald Vulture was even less of a match for the bearded man. If they were to fight, the outcome would be unpredictable.
Right then, Bai Yuhan spoke, "Commanders, if you guys fight in the capital over a small matter and cause panic, I'm afraid both of you won't be able to escape punishment when the king blames you."
The bearded man and Bald Vulture were in a tense standoff. At that moment, Bai Yuhan was the only one qualified to speak.
The atmosphere between the two sides eased slightly.
Bai Yuhan continued, "I have a suggestion. Both of you, commanders, take a step back and meet the emperor immediately for the king to decide."
When they heard that, the bearded man and Bald Vulture heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.
"I'm fine with that,"
The vulture man sneered and took the initiative to speak.
In his opinion, as long as he met the emperor, the bearded man would definitely be punished and the green-robed cultivator would not be able to escape death as well!
The bearded man put away his weapon and nodded. "Sure."
Bai Yuhan cupped her fists. "That's great. I'll head to the palace first to report this matter."
With that said, Bai Yuhan turned and left. She transformed into a stream of light and disappeared before everyone's eyes in the blink of an eye.
Sweeping his gaze between the bearded man and Su Zimo, Bald Vulture's eyes flashed with mockery. "Let's go. Let's see what you can say once we're in the grand hall of the palace with the might of the heavens!"
The bearded man smiled and did not reply. He turned to Su Zimo and asked in a low voice, "Sir, do you have any other instructions?"
"Please wait a moment."
Su Zimo comes to Ning.
"Brother …"
Su Xiaoning frowned and looked worried. Her slender little hand grabbed Su Zimo's sleeve subconsciously, not daring to let go. She was so anxious that she was about to cry.
"Why are you crying?"
Su Zimo smiled and reached out his hand to rub Su Xiaoning's head lovingly, messing up the long hair on her forehead.
When they were little, Su Zimo liked to mess up Ning's hair.
Each time, Ning would fly into a rage and chase after Su Zimo.
The two of them chased and fled, running across the lawn and streams. It was only until they were drenched in sweat and exhausted that they fell to the ground without caring about their image. Not only were their hair messy, their bodies were covered in dust and they looked wretched.
At that time, the two siblings would look at one another and smile. Even if they were reprimanded by their eldest brother when they returned home, they would still enjoy it.
Now that Su Zimo did that, he wanted to divert Ning's attention. Unexpectedly, she cried even more miserably and was sobbing uncontrollably.
Su Zimo said gently, "Don't worry, I'm not going to die."
"Humph!"
When Yang Yu of Azure Frost Elixir Workshop heard that, she could not help but scoff coldly. Glancing sideways at Su Zimo, she said, "Do you think that you'll be able to come out alive after entering the palace?"
Su Zimo's gaze swept across and a torrential malevolent aura burst forth. It was as though there was a thick stench of blood that caused one's heart to shudder!
Yang Yu held her breath and swallowed the words that she was about to say.
The corpses on the ground had yet to turn cold and the blood was still warm. Who would dare to provoke someone who dared to commit a massacre in the capital?
Su Zimo patted Ning on the shoulder and said firmly, "Go back and wait for me. I'll come out to fetch you in a while."
As though she could sense the confidence in Su Zimo's tone, Su Xiaoning stopped crying and asked softly, "Really?"
"Yes!" Su Zimo nodded.
On the other side, Bald Vulture came before the cultivators of True Fire Elixir Workshop and said in a deep voice, "Go back now and inform the most prestigious cultivators of True Fire Sect in the capital such as Elder Zhang and the others of True Fire Weapon Workshop to pay their respects to the emperor!"
"Understood!"
The cultivators of True Fire Elixir Workshop understood and turned to leave.
Glancing sideways, Bald Vulture looked at Su Zimo who was not far away and sneered, "Lad, your backing is none other than Mu Dongqing. However, I'm telling you, no one can save you today!"
Su Zimo's expression was calm and fearless as he replied indifferently, "Don't be too sure of your words."
The bearded man, Su Zimo and Bald Vulture moved and headed towards the capital, disappearing before everyone's eyes before long.
"If he meets the emperor, that green-robed cultivator won't be able to escape death. If the commander of the Azure Falcon guards wants to protect that person, he'll be implicated as well."
"Yes, although both sides are commanders of the capital's guards, there's still True Fire Sect on the other side. If the elders and Perfected Beings of True Fire Sect were to step forward to apply pressure, even the emperor of Great Zhou would have to give them some face. "
"That's right. There's no way the emperor of Great Zhou would offend the entire True Fire Sect for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Haha, not everyone is Mr. Mo, able to win against the True Fire Sect in an arm wrestle. "
The crowd did not disperse for a long time as they discussed fervently.
…
"Mu Dongqing, where did you get that supreme-grade spirit weapon?"
Along the way, Bald Vulture asked in a seemingly casual manner.
The bearded man remained silent.
A cold glint flashed through Bald Vulture's eyes as he said coldly, "Recently, there hasn't been any news of supreme-grade spirit weapons being auctioned in Sky Treasure Auction House. However, your supreme-grade spirit weapon is actually a hammer that matches you perfectly. It's as though someone had it custom-made for you! "
Pausing for a moment, Bald Vulture asked slowly, "That hammer was custom-made for you by Mr. Mo, right?"
"So what if it was? So what if it wasn't?" The bearded man turned around and asked with a fake smile.
Bald Vulture declared proudly, "If you can make a recommendation for me and get Mr. Mo to custom-make a supreme-grade spirit weapon for me as well, I'll let you off for today. Mu Dongqing, you have no chance of winning today! "
The moment he said that, Bald Vulture sensed something and glanced sideways. Su Zimo was looking at him with a strange expression and a hint of mockery in his eyes.
That gaze was disgusting to Bald Vulture.
Bald Vulture smiled sinisterly and said coldly, "Lad, when you land in my hands, I'll dig out your eyeballs first and let you look at them to your heart's content!"
When Su Zimo heard that, he chuckled gently. "Interesting."
