A burly man who had come with Hong Zhan glared at Yun Yang maliciously and said eerily, "Hall Master, why are you wasting your breath on a young master? Since this child has admitted that he killed our men, let's end this here and now. Can't we just kill him directly?"
Once his words were spoken, the other experts from the Hall of Crimson Blade were riled up, their killing intent soaring.
Hong Zhan was the only one who remained silent with a grim expression.
Although he had put on a menacing look of condemnation and his words were harsh and unusually domineering, he did not really intend to kill Yun Yang here and now.
With Hong Zhan's way of doing things, why would he use his mouth if he could use his saber? It would save him a lot of trouble to start a fight directly.
The reason he did not use his saber at once was that he knew very well that Yun Yang, who had the body of King Xiaoyao's son, was not someone who could be killed so easily.
Just this identity alone was enough to make all the assassins in the world shrink back. Yutang had defeated the four-empires' encirclement in one fell swoop. Not only was the threat of annihilation gone, but the unification of Tianxuan was imminent. If the only legitimate son of the Empire of Yutang's King Xiaoyao was killed, the blood feud would be irreversible.
What was more, Yutang's Young Master Yun's martial skill and cultivation base were also extremely troublesome to deal with. Although Eldest Young Master Yun's reputation as a popinjay was widespread in the past, his heroic name of charging into an army of a million men alone in the war between Yutang and Dongxuan, beheading the generals and capturing the flags, had spread far and wide. In addition, his achievement of defeating so many top-notch experts of the Ma-i Sect alone was enough to raise eyebrows and prove that he was a heaven realm master!
Therefore, Eldest Young Master Yun Yang was a formidable character who possessed unparalleled martial arts skills and the body of King Xiaoyao's son.
Kill him with a saber?
Whether he succeeded or not, he would only be finding trouble for himself!
Even if he had a top-notch assassin organization under him, it was not enough!
Once he killed Yun Yang, what followed would be an unavoidable disaster!
One man and a top-notch martial world organization would never be able to fight against a powerful empire!
Faced with such a huge problem, although Hong Zhan thought highly of himself, he did not dare to place another burden on himself when he was already shouldering an important mission.
Therefore, Hong Zhan had already made up his mind regarding the current situation. However, the current problem was that although Hong Zhan had decided not to attack Yun Yang, the five subordinates who had followed him here today were not people with foresight who could see the situation clearly.
Especially as the boss, he must have the demeanor, aura, and power of a boss. As the saying goes, 'Even if you lose to others, you must not lose in spirit'.
Even if Yun Yang had a strong background and was highly capable, there were some things that Hong Zhan had to say. After all, the other party had killed so many of his men. Was he not going to say anything at all?
This was also the main reason why Hong Zhan had been so aggressive right from the start and patiently listened to Yun Yang's reply.
Furthermore, since Hong Zhan knew that Yun Yang was not an idiot, he would naturally connect the dots. Yun Yang would not appear here in such weather to admire the snowy scenery, but for some other reason.
Because of this, Hong Zhan believed that this Young Master Yun would not want to be his enemy, especially not to risk his life to fight him.
Therefore, Hong Zhan was sure that Yun Yang would cooperate with his explanation. Despite his arrogant tone and hostile attitude, he had still explained himself after all.
As long as he did so, both parties would have room to maneuver and a way out of this embarrassing situation.
As for how hostile Yun Yang's attitude was, Hong Zhan was not too bothered. He was the one who had spoken harshly first; how could a noble young master of a noble family take it lying down? It was expected that he would retort.
Hong Zhan did not want to pursue the matter at all. If he did, it would go against his original intention!
Raping a woman was a taboo in the martial world, so killing them was not beyond reproach. Just as he was about to say something to ease the tension and leave, his subordinates had to say that they wanted to kill Yun Yang at this critical juncture.
The words that Hong Zhan was about to say were stuck in his throat, worsening the already tense atmosphere. No, they were about to be at each other's throats!
Honestly, Hong Zhan's heart was filled with 'f * cking sh * t!'
'I know that my subordinates are ignorant and insensible, but I didn't expect them to be so ignorant and insensible that they actually snatched the boss's right to speak. What the f * ck is going on? I'm helpless, I'm speechless! '
In spite of this, situations that made Hong Zhan even more helpless and speechless came one after another. After all, he was not the only incompetent teammate; he had brought a total of five subordinates with him.
"Big brother! Kill him and avenge our brothers! "Another person spoke up.
Hong Zhan's expression grew darker, his heart filled with resentment.
"Boss, please don't let our brothers die with grievances!" Another even more ruthless idiot teammate came.
Hong Zhan's expression was dark, but he wanted to cry inside.
'When did I want to let them die in vain? Am I not righteously asking for an explanation for them?
Why don't you talk about the terrible things they've done? Do you have the nerve to say it if it were you? '
"Big brother, our brothers' corpses have yet to turn cold …" Another person spoke tearfully.
Hong Zhan was speechless.
What kind of person was Yun Yang? Naturally, he understood Hong Zhan's current thoughts, even more so from the beginning. Naturally, he watched the fellow's predicament with a smile.
He looked at Hong Zhan with a faint smile and did not interrupt. However, his smile was filled with a deep meaning and malice.
Hong Zhan was the leader of the Hall of Crimson Blade after all; he was someone who could rise and fall, capable of doing what others could not. He glared fiercely at his subordinates and said in a low voice, "We, the Hall of Crimson Blade, live in the martial world. We lick the blood of our blades. There are many things we can do, but those despicable things are not to be touched …"
He wanted to say, "Since they have committed the martial world's taboo, they deserve it. Even if Young Master Yun doesn't kill them, I will …"
Words like that, followed by a few harsh words of warning to save face, he prepared to leave.
If he had done so, not only would he have gained face, he would have gained something else as well. Even if he could not help but be suspected of being weak, it was not a big deal and it would not affect his dignity.
It was at this delicate juncture that the filthy man in white who had been crawling on the ground stood up slowly and spoke in a cold voice, "What is the mere Hall of Crimson Blade? How dare you be so insolent in front of me! Silver Saber Hong Zhan, you're only a small reputation that the scoundrels of the martial world have touted. How dare you be so arrogant? Are you tired of living? "
Hong Zhan was stunned by this sudden sentence. He had already prepared a script in his mind and was about to speak fluently, but it was immediately stuck in his throat and could not come out at all.
Hong Zhan's mouth was half open as he turned his head to look at the old man who had appeared out of nowhere out of nowhere. He felt like he was being struck by lightning.
What's going on?
I'm about to give up on my end …
What's the meaning of you popping out like this?
How am I supposed to step down now that you've said so? You're openly stirring up trouble! Where are you from?
Venerable Lord Ice stood tall, his demeanor instantly washed away. His gaze was like lightning as he stared at Hong Zhan and said coldly, "Hong Zhan! Kneel down and beg for mercy. Do you really want your grandfather to do it personally and die without a complete corpse? Do you want the Hall of Crimson Blade to be completely annihilated? "
Hong Zhan's mouth was contorted in anger.
"Who are you?" Hong Zhan was enraged, his murderous intent unparalleled.
This time, the murderous intent was genuine. Who do you think you are? How dare you slander Grandpa Hong by name? Even if you're Ling Xiaozui, the head of the Four Seasons Tower, Mr. Nian … you're definitely not them!
