Venerable Wandering Slayer let out a contemptuous look. This Venerable Cambrian had once been defeated by a warrior under him and was nearly beheaded under his sword. He didn't expect that the man would act so arrogant when they met again now.
”The dog raised by your Everlasting Palace barks and bites everywhere. Trying to bite others and now relying on the name of your sect to bully others, huh?”
Venerable Cambrian coldly replied, ”What do you mean by that?”
”Do you know what this place is?” Venerable Wandering Slayer sneered. ”This Lithe Plume Mansion is my place, and your dog came here to cause troubles. Do you think I have to lower my face to beat him?”
Venerable Cambrian frowned and turned to the miserable Argent Martial Hale, shouting in a deep voice, ”What the hell is going on here?”
”Someone colluded with the Lithe Plume Mansion to trap me into battle and kill me,” answered Argent Martial Hale with a hoarse voice.
”Slander…”
Venerable Wandering Slayer shouted angrily. But at the next moment, his expression slightly changed and he snapped. ”Who are you? Get out!”
Whoosh…
Two blurry figures appeared in the array out of the blue. After Tang Xiu and Sablefiend Scorpio appeared, he looked at the miserable Argent Martial Hale and immediately grinned. ”I was just passing by Floating Snow City, but I didn't expect to run into such an interesting scene here, so I came to join the fun. What's your name, Mister? You look a bit familiar, and I heard your name is something like… Wan… Wandering Slayer?”
Wandering Slayer's face turned chilly and he coldly replied, ”This Immortal is the owner of the Lithe Plume Mansion, Venerable Wandering Slayer. And who are you, Mister? I don't think you are here just to watch a lively scene, no?”
”I told you the truth,” said Tang Xiu with a grin. ”Coming here is really a coincidence. So your name is Venerable Wandering Slayer. Now I remember that a certain great figure once mentioned you to me.”
”And… who exactly was that great figure?” asked Wandering Slayer with narrowed eyes.
”Star Cultivation Great Emperor,” answered Tang Xiu.
Wandering Slayer's expression slightly changed and he took a deep breath. Then, he slowly asked, ”And who are you, Sir?”
”I'm Great Tang Heavenly Emperor,” answered Tang Xiu with a smile.
Great Tang Heavenly Emperor?!
Everyone was shocked. Great Tang Heavenly Emperor, a name that had become the talk of the town recently, turned out to be this young man in front of them? It must be noted that he was the most famous peerless talent among the bridge trial takers in the Secret Palace of Drunken Immortal Supreme.
”But why are you here, Great Tang Heavenly Emperor?” asked Wandering Slayer inexplicably.
”I failed to obtain that fortuitous encounter,” Tang Xiu replied with a dry smile. ”Naturally, I got expelled by the inheritor of Drunken Immortal Supreme. It's just that I didn't expect to run into this interesting scene when I happened to pass by the Floating Snow City. If anything, please continue and don't mind me. Just treat me as… free audience or something like that.”
Goldenray old freak burst into laughter. ”Hahaha, you're really interesting, Great Tang Heavenly Emperor. You even crack a joke in this tense atmosphere where everyone is ready to slit each other's throat. This old Goldenray really admires you!”
Tang Xiu shifted to him and teased. ”Well, I remember someone saying that a man was trying to prove that he had balls, so he went to the roof of a widow's house to peek at her when taking a bath. That man then finally fell into that widow's bathtub. Are you the man in the story?”
Cough, cough,...
Goldenray old freak was flushed red instantly. After coughing a few times, he glared angrily at Tang Xiu and shouted, ”Who the hell are you? Only these four old buddies of mine know about this. The last one was…”
Tang Xiu waved and said, ”Never mind it, never mind it. That was a joke. Let's stop it now, shall we? I just want to tell you that I have some origins related to you, old freak Goldenray! As for what that connection is… well, you can tend to your business first and I'll be watching the fun from the side. Anyway, Venerable Wandering Slayer, I plan to fill my stomach and have some drinks in your place. I don't have to pay for anything, right? Alright, I'll be waiting for you to finish your business. But you gotta introduce me to some chaste and lovely belles here later for free, deal?”
”...”
Wandering Slayer stared at Tang Xiu with a strange expression before a bitter smile appeared on his face.
Looking for chaste and lovely belles? Here? My place is a brothel, so where the hell can you get some chaste and lovely young lasses here? Is this supposed to be a friend teasing me or something?
Wandering Slayer coughed, shifted to old freak Goldenray, and said, ”Let's deal with the business at hand first. We were bullied by outsiders and are quite vexed now. I, Wandering Slayer, once indeed suffered a loss in the hands of Everlasting Palace. But the past enmity has been written off, after all. However, someone else from the same faction now came and harassed my place yet again. That already crossed the line.”
Goldenray retracted his angry glare from Tang Xiu and shifted to Venerable Cambrian. With an annoyed expression, he said in a deep voice, ”You should've figured out the whole story first before barking. This dog of your Everlasting keeps biting everywhere. He even just threatened to burn down Venerable Wandering Slayer's place. It was your dog who acted like a bully, so we demand an explanation from you. If you refuse to take responsibility, then don't blame us for being merciless and bringing the fight to your Everlasting Palace.”
Venerable Cambrian was very furious at the moment. If it weren't for the trip to the Secret Palace that ended up badly for them, he wouldn't have cared a bit about Venerable Wandering Slayer's group of five's provocation. He did want to kill some people, but these five men were late-stage Perfected Golden Immortals. Should they tear all decorum, they would be very hard to deal with and would likely be quite a big threat to the current Everlasting Palace.
His gaze shifted to Argent Martial Hale and interrogated coldly. ”Can you show any evidence that they set you up?”
