David stared at Yan Wuji, his purple eyes completely expressionless, like a stagnant pool.
“Yan Wuji, I came to kill you.”
His voice was calm, so calm that it didn’t sound like a declaration of war, but more like a statement of fact.
Yan Wuji was silent for a moment, then laughed out loud. His laughter echoed before the mountain gate, causing the surrounding spiritual trees to tremble.
“Kill me?”
Yan Wuji laughed so hard he could barely breathe. “David, what do you think you can use to kill me? Just these three hundred useless people behind you?”
His gaze swept across the Qingyun Cave disciples behind David, and the disgust in his eyes deepened.
“Three hundred juniors below third-rank Gold Immortals, plus you, a first-rank Gold Immortal, and True Man Jade Void, a fifth-rank Gold Immortal, think they can raze my Fire God Palace to the ground?”
Yan Wuji’s voice was sinister, “David, aren’t you too confident?”
He raised the Yan Emperor Sword in his hand, pointing the tip at David. The flames on the sword suddenly shot out several feet high, and the intense heat spread out in all directions, burning the surrounding spiritual wood branches and leaves until they turned yellow and shriveled.
“Look behind me!”
Yan Wuji’s voice was filled with almost hysterical pride, “The Fire God Palace has thousands of disciples, tens of elders, and nearly a hundred experts at the third rank of Gold Immortal! The Void Chamber of Commerce has Envoy Han, a sixth rank Gold Immortal, and more than thirty elites at the level of Gold Immortal! And the Heaven Flame Capital Divine Fire Formation!”
His voice grew louder and more triumphant, and his golden-red eyes glittered with the light of madness.
“David, do you think you still have a chance to win? Do you think you can get out of here alive?”
David stared at Yan Wuji, his purple eyes remaining completely calm.
His gaze shifted from Yan Wuji to Han Qianshan.
Han Qianshan stood half a step behind Yan Wuji, his red-gold eyes studied David closely. There was no change in emotion in her eyes, but David could see a trace of worry hidden deep in her eyes.
The fear was not caused by David’s cultivation level, but rather by the unfathomable aura emanating from him.
His cultivation level at the first rank of the Golden Immortal Realm made him, who was at the sixth rank of the Golden Immortal Realm, feel a little uneasy.
This is not normal.
“You are the special envoy of the Void Merchant Guild?” David looked at Han Qianshan, his voice calm.
Han Qianshan nodded slightly, “Inspector of the Void Chamber of Commerce, Han Qianshan.”
David nodded, his purple eyes looked directly into Han Qianshan’s eyes, his gaze without the slightest hostility, only displaying extremely calm observation.
“Special Envoy Han, have you made a decision?”
Han Qianshan frowned slightly. “What have you thought about?”
“Think carefully before collaborating with the Fire God Palace,” David’s voice remained calm. “Think carefully before becoming my enemy.”
A cold glint appeared in Han Qianshan’s eyes, but he remained silent.
David continued, his voice calm and unhurried, as if he were chatting with an old friend.
“Special Envoy Han, I know that your Void Merchant Guild is investigating Wu Yuan’s death. I also know that you suspect me of finishing off Wu Yuan. That’s right, I finished off Wu Yuan.”
Hearing this, the thirty-plus cultivators of the Void Merchant Guild behind Han Qianshan changed color simultaneously, and their aura suddenly soared, like a mountain pressing down on the square.
Han Qianshan’s hands were slightly clenched, and a glimmer of killing intent flashed in his golden red eyes.
David looked into Han Qianshan’s eyes, a faint smile tugging at his lips.
“But Special Envoy Han, have you considered this question?”
“What is the problem?” Han Qianshan’s voice sounded a little cold.
Why does Wu Yuan want to kill me?
David’s voice was gentle, but every word was like a nail driven into Han Qianshan’s heart. “He is the president of the Void Merchant Guild, and I am a fugitive cultivator. We have no enmity or grudge. Why would he want to kill me?”
Han Qianshan was silent for a moment, “Because he wants what you have. The Great Luo Golden Scripture, the power of chaos, the secrets of the Chaos Dao Palace.”
“That’s right.”
David nodded. “He wanted what was mine, so he wanted to kill me. I killed him because I didn’t want to die. That’s a natural thing; it’s the law of the jungle, the law of the jungle, who is the strongest survives.”
He paused for a moment, a cold glint flashing through his purple eyes.
“But now, Envoy Han, you want to avenge him. Have you considered what you will gain by avenging him?”
Han Qianshan remained silent.
David continued, his voice containing undeniable logic.
“You killed me, and what you obtained was the Great Luo Golden Scripture, the Power of Chaos, and the secrets of the Chaos Dao Palace. These things are indeed very valuable, valuable enough to tempt anyone. But Emissary Han, have you considered other possibilities?”
