Fall out?
Sun Ling's face revealed a troubled expression. After pondering for a moment, he finally said slowly, "I think Master has misunderstood. The ones who attacked were Marquis Fengling and Marquis Liu Yun. As for Marquis Youdu, he rushed over after hearing about the incident and didn't know what happened. He only blocked me when he saw me attacking. Ignorance isn't a crime."
Marquis Youdu, who was chained up, also became agitated when he heard Sun Ling's words.
He hurriedly said, "Yes, I don't know what happened. I only attacked because I saw someone attacking my friend. If I knew they were your men, I wouldn't have dared to attack even if I had ten guts."
Marquis Youdu was completely flustered. Previously, he thought the Sky Tyrant Lord was giving Gu Xuan a way out and that they were just putting on an act. There wasn't any danger at all. However, Gu Xuan killed four people consecutively and made him feel the danger of death.
"Oh?" Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows and walked in front of Sun Ling. He pulled down Sun Ling's sleeve and revealed the words "Sky Tyrant" carved on it.
"Don't tell me you have a habit of carving words on other people's arms?" Gu Xuan's gaze landed on Marquis Youdu as he said coldly.
"I … I …" Marquis Youdu was extremely anxious. These two words were naturally his doing. When he heard that they were Gu Xuan's men, he was very angry that Gu Xuan was conferred the title of King at such a young age. Therefore, he directly injured Gu Tianmo and the rest. As Sun Ling was the strongest, he deliberately humiliated him and carved the words "Sky Tyrant" on his arm to establish his authority.
He originally thought that a newly conferred King like Gu Xuan wouldn't dare to attack the Sky Tyrant Lord. However, he didn't expect the latter to be such a ruthless character.
"You carved words on my men because you wanted to demonstrate your authority, right? Don't tell me you didn't know who they were when you carved these two words? "Gu Xuan's voice was already icy cold.
"Master …" Sun Ling's face revealed some anxiety. After being humiliated like this, he really wanted to kill Marquis Youdu a hundred times. However, he also understood the severity of the matter. Marquis Youdu was the Sky Tyrant Lord's most valued subordinate. If Gu Xuan also killed Marquis Youdu, the Sky Tyrant Lord would turn hostile immediately!
No matter how high Gu Xuan's potential was, he would be a terrible trouble to become a mortal enemy of a five-star King level expert before he became an expert.
The reason why he had fabricated lies to absolve Marquis of Youdu was because of this. Under such circumstances, as long as Gu Xuan pretended to be muddle-headed, he would be able to preserve his face and not provoke any enemies.
However, he didn't expect that Gu Xuan would take the initiative to bring this matter out. This put him in a dilemma. He could either kill the Marquis of Youdu and form a relationship with the Sky Tyrant King or not kill the Marquis of Youdu and lose a lot of face. Looking at the current situation, it was obvious that Gu Xuan wanted to kill the Marquis of Youdu to establish his might.
"Marquis of Youdu, you used the name of the Sky Tyrant King to challenge the Great Wilderness Conferred King, you deserve to die!"
Gu Xuan's face revealed a trace of coldness as he spat out these icy words.
In reality, from the very beginning, he had already sentenced the Marquis of Youdu and the others to death. Since they attacked his family, then no matter what realm this person was at or what identity he had, he had to kill this person.
Gu Xuan didn't kill for so-called face or to take the opportunity to ask for some compensation. He simply wanted to kill.
The Sky Tyrant King thought that since he had already given him face and benefits, he should take care of him. However, to Gu Xuan, this was like a joke. If you want to give me compensation, I'll accept it. However, if I want to kill someone, I'll kill them!
"Hold on!"
Just as Gu Xuan raised his sword, the Sky Tyrant King's face completely darkened. He suddenly stood up and shouted coldly at Gu Xuan.
"King Tongtian, I've already given you enough face. Can you also give me face and leave him a way out? Take it that I owe you a favor. How about that?" The Sky Tyrant King forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice, "The Marquis of Youdu's matter is only a small matter. However, between you and me, it's a big matter. I hope you've thought it through."
"Small matter?" The cold smile on Gu Xuan's face deepened. "If this matter is considered a small matter in your eyes, then it's simple. Just hand your children over to me and let me beat them up. Then, I'll carve words on your subordinates to establish my might. If you agree, I won't kill the Marquis of Youdu."
"Gu Xuan, don't go overboard!" The Sky Tyrant King could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. The king-level aura on his body erupted like a gust of wind. Under this pressure, the utensils in the hall were instantly crushed into powder!
The Sky Tyrant King had already attained his Dao through killing. Now that he was enraged, he was like a god of death descending upon the world.
"Gu Xuan, I've given you enough face before. However, you're too shameless. Am I, a king-level master of Tangtang, really afraid of a so-called genius like you?"
Gu Xuan turned around and looked at the Sky Tyrant King. The corner of his mouth revealed a trace of a smile. "Sky Tyrant, since you've said so, then I won't be hypocritical with you. In my eyes, you're just a useless person. Your people provoked me, so I'll kill them if I want to. As for your so-called face, the promise of a favor? In my eyes, it's just a joke. "
Gu Xuan's heart was filled with mockery. After he shocked everyone in the Tong Tian Tower, although he had obtained a corresponding status, he was still far from establishing his power. Although he, Pill Emperor Gu Xuan, no longer had a heaven-defying realm, no matter what, he wasn't someone a king-level master could threaten.
If you welcome me with a smile, then I'll deal with you casually. However, if you want to turn hostile and use your power to oppress me, then I don't mind letting you see what insolence is!
"Good, good, good! Sky Tyrant King, I really have to admire you! Since it's come to this, I'll lay all my cards on the table. No matter what, I'll protect the Marquis of Youdu. Whether you want to kill him or not, I'll let you know that whether you have this choice or not depends on your strength! "The Sky Tyrant King was so angry that he laughed instead.
"Since you want to protect him, then it's up to you." Gu Xuan sneered. "The Marquis of Youdu attacked my people. A mere marquis dares to flaunt his power in front of a king-level master. According to the laws of the Great Wilderness Dynasty, he should be killed. Sky Tyrant, if you don't let me kill him today, I'll report this matter to the dynasty. Let's see if the Second Prince will protect me or trash like you!"
"You!" The Sky Tyrant King's expression was extremely ugly. He had nowhere to vent the anger in his heart. Gu Xuan was right. Under his absolute strength, Gu Xuan indeed couldn't kill the Marquis of Youdu. However, if this matter was reported to the dynasty, it would definitely attract the Heavenly Dragon Guards. At that time, the Marquis of Youdu's entire family would be slaughtered!
