"Brat Gu, you've … you've become a demon. Your tone is too big."
Zhenyang Wine Immortal took a big gulp of wine and asked, "Senior Brother, how much of Little Guy Gu's words … do you think are true?"
The True Court Immortal Master looked at Gu Qingfeng, who was sitting on the old man's chair. He frowned and shook his head. He couldn't see through Gu Qingfeng, not even a little bit. Naturally, he couldn't tell how much of Gu Qingfeng's words were true or false.
Perhaps because Gu Qingfeng's words were too arrogant, the originally quiet scene immediately became noisy. Everyone was discussing animatedly.
"This King Chixiao really hasn't changed at all. And he looks even more arrogant than he was in the ancient times. There's no limit to his arrogance."
"That's right. Doesn't he know what era it is now? The ancient era that belonged to him has long passed. The present is an era where fortune runs rampant and destiny rules. What right does Sovereign King Scarlet Firmament have to be so arrogant?"
"If it was in the ancient times when he still had the peerless Immortal Demon Throne, it would make sense for him to be a little arrogant. But he doesn't even have the peerless Immortal Demon Throne anymore. How can he still be so arrogant? What right does he have? Don't tell me it's because of that so-called body of his? "
"That's right. After all, a physical body is just a physical body. Not to mention an ordinary physical body, even if it's the Immortal Demon Body or the Five Great Fortune Bodies, so what?"
"It seems like King Chixiao is still living in his ancient times. He doesn't understand the situation of the present era at all."
In the pavilion.
After hearing Gu Qingfeng's arrogant words, Flowing Light Ice, Long Qi, Wang Ba, and the other heaven's favored disciples of the Shangqing Sect were all very dissatisfied and disdainful. They couldn't wait to rush over and compete with him.
Although Wuya didn't say anything, it could be seen from his eyes that he was full of doubts about Gu Qingfeng. He asked, "Ghost Elder, do you believe his words?"
Ghost Elder's expression was as deep as ever. Ever since Gu Qingfeng appeared, he had been frowning. After a long while, he shook his head and said, "I don't know."
He really didn't know.
He didn't know whether to believe it or not.
Similarly.
The group of heaven's favored disciples of the Zijin Palace in Sengoku and those from the red Purple Heaven's Pavilion were all very dissatisfied and disdainful. They couldn't help but want to rush over and test it out.
Of course.
Dissatisfaction and disdain was disdain.
Whether it was the inner sect of the Shangqing Sect, the Sengoku Zijin Palace, or the red Purple Heaven's Pavilion, they weren't second-rate geniuses, nor were they blindly conceited. They were the favored disciples of heaven's favored disciples, dragons among men. In a situation where the opponent's strength was unknown, they wouldn't easily make a move. Moreover, this person was the ancient King Chixiao.
No matter whether they admitted it or not, they all had a deep fear of King Chixiao in their hearts.
And Jade Dragon Flying Star and Wan Huayu, who were also children of the Great Destiny Constellation, were the same as Wuya. Their expressions might not be dissatisfied or disdainful, but they were full of doubts.
"This person …" Jade Dragon Flying Star stared at Gu Qingfeng and said softly, "It seems like he really is like the legends, arrogant and fearless."
Wan Huayu didn't look at Gu Qingfeng. Instead, she lowered her head and played with something in her hand. She said faintly, "Arrogance requires capital."
"Brother Wan, do you think he has the capital?"
Wan Huayu smiled and said, "Maybe. God knows."
"Brother Wan, don't you want to test him?"
"I said, I'm just here to watch the fun, that's all."
"Is that so …"
Jade Dragon Flying Star smiled.
"Brother Jade Dragon, don't tell me you want to test him?"
"Me? Haha, I also said that I'm just here to watch the fun. "
"Ha! Looks like we have the same goal. "
"If that's the case, let's make it lively later."
"Okay."
Under the tree.
Gu Qingfeng was lying on the old man's chair, basking in the sun and playing with the Buddha beads left by the Eldest Teacher. He tilted his body, crossed his legs, and tilted his head slightly, looking very lazy. He picked up a cup of wine and drank it in one gulp. He continued in boredom, "I said just now, I don't want to die, and I don't want to kill anymore. Plus, my body has been a little weak recently. I just moved my limbs yesterday, and woke up early this morning, so I really don't feel like moving."
"However, since so many of you are here today, I guess you won't let it go easily, right?" Gu Qingfeng looked at the crowd again and said, "So, let's think of a way to get the best of both worlds. Today, let's try to settle the grudges of the past. But … what can we do?"
Gu Qingfeng rubbed his chin and thought for a while. He said, "How about this? Today, I'll let you give me a good beating, okay?"
"What about you? If you have a grudge, you can take revenge. If you have a grudge, you can complain. Just fight as much as you want. I'll sit here and I won't fight back. I'll let you fight as much as you want.
"If you kill me, I'll admit that you're capable. I'll have no regrets. I deserve to die.
"If you're done fighting and venting your anger, we'll settle the grudges of the past, okay? Don't make trouble for me in the future, and I'll let bygones be bygones. Let's be friends in the future. How about that? "
As soon as Gu Qingfeng finished speaking, the crowd burst into an uproar.
No one had expected that Gu Qingfeng would propose such a condition to settle the grudges of the past.
Not fight back?
Let everyone take their revenge?
If he was beaten to death, he deserved to die?
Where did he get the confidence to say such arrogant words that did not know the immensity of heaven and earth?
It should be known that almost all the famous figures in the Divine Land were here. Looking around, there were Genuine Immortals and Mighty Immortals everywhere. There were also a lot of Scattered Immortals with nine tribulations, twelve tribulations, and twenty-four tribulations. There were also powerful figures who had reincarnated. In addition, there were also the Inner Gate of the Shangqing Sect, the Sengoku's Zijin Palace, and the Purple Heaven Pavilion. There were all kinds of fortunes everywhere. There were Immortal Edicts, Nature Edicts, Human Edicts, Immortal Devil Treasured Bodies, the Five Great Bodies of Creation, and even three Young Masters of the Great Destiny Constellation.
These were just the visible ones. No one knew how many powerful figures were lurking in the dark.
But he said he would just sit there and let them beat him without fighting back.
Who in the world dared to do this?
The answer was yes.
No one dared!
Because there were too many Immortal experts present. No one could withstand the encirclement of so many experts. No one.
This was not a matter of cultivation, fortune, or strength.
No matter how high one's cultivation was, no matter how many fortunes one had, and no matter how strong one's strength was, one might be able to withstand ten or a hundred, but definitely not a thousand, ten thousand, or even more experts.
As the saying goes, many ants can devour an elephant, and dripping water can penetrate a stone. No matter how strong or tough one was, it was impossible to withstand repeated attacks.
Furthermore, these people were neither ants nor water droplets. They were experts from various sects and clans who had cultivated for thousands of years.
