Chapter 504 (2/2)

“It is a private matter, and monarch has not disclosed any details to me.” The green-robed man said. “The monarch’s killing intent is undoubtedly heavy, however, and disregarded any price he had to pay just to kill this Shang Yi! Furthermore, Shang Yi has not been truly sincere to Your Highness either. He deliberately crafted a fake name before entering Your Highness’ retinue, just to increase his chances of survival.”

Xue Ying frowned. “He might have faked his identity, but he’s already been here for thirty thousand years. During his time as a commander in my personal guard, he worked assiduously and did not make any mistakes.”

“Your Highness, all you need is to chase him out of your retinue,” the green-robed man retorted. “My clan master will naturally remember this favor, and will certainly come in person to repay you, sometime in the future.”

Xue Ying shook his head. “Bai Li Shang is a stage two World Deity, while your clan monarch is an overlord! What great enmity could even form between such two figures? How did it happen?”

“The monarch has not disclosed any details.” The green-robed man was helpless.

“Once you clearly tell me how the enmity between the two parties formed, I’ll naturally find Commander Bai Li Shang and investigate the matter. If the investigation is verified, and he is found to be a scheming person, I’ll naturally chase him out of my personal guard,” Xue Ying indifferently said. “However, should Commander Bai Li have been accused wrongly and been pursued without having done anything wrong, could I just watch him die?”

The green-robed man’s expression changed.

He was merely a commander!

Over the many years, the number of stage two World Deities steadily increased. Adding up the four commander figures under Xue Ying with several guests who were staying over, there were now ten such figures! Was there really a need to go against his clan’s master, Monarch Cang Yong himself, just for the sake of a single stage two World Deity?

“Your Highness, will you not accept to chase him out of your personal guard?” The green-robed man frowned.

“Are you threatening me?” Xue Ying’s eyes turned cold.

The green-robed man growled. “I am doing no such thing. The only thing I’ll say is that my clan monarch will definitely not spare World Deity Shang Yi!”

“I won’t accept anyone daring to even to think of touching my people!” Xue Ying coldly retorted. “Attendant, send this guest away!”

“Please!”

Two World Deity attendants immediately shouted. The sight of His Highness being so willing to protect his subordinates left them feeling truly excited and simultaneously at ease.

The green-robed man stood up with an ugly expression.

“This is unnecessary, why not just talk things over?” Long Yu said from the side.

“Long Yu, this doesn’t concern you.” Xue Ying glanced at the green-robed man. “I’ve shown you enough respect in this discussion. Taking out Monarch Cang Yong’s name to threaten me? What a joke!”

The green-robed man was forcibly suppressing his anger. He slightly clasped his hand for a farewell and then immediately took his leave.

Long Yu hurriedly explained, “Brother Dong Bo, I’ve merely come to give a referral. I did not think the situation would turn out like this. However, you should be a bit more careful. The way I see it, Monarch Cang Yong truly seems to hold some huge killing intent towards Commander Bai Li Shang, and I don’t think their enmity is small at all.”

“I appreciate the concern.” Despite having acted coldly toward the green-robed man, Xue Ying was smiling as he talked with Long Yu.

“I’ll be taking my leave first, then.” Long Yu hurried out of the place.

Back in the hall, Xue Ying revealed a frown. “Jing Qiu, Monarch Cang Yong is a stage four World Deity, and he’s the overlord of a region in the Deity world. What kind of vengeance could he have with Bai Li Shang? And for it to be something that he isn’t even willing to talk about…”

“Something casually fabricated will be easily exposed,” Jing Qiu replied. “If he isn’t willing to talk about it, it likely involved some other secret which he isn’t willing to publicize. Furthermore, the vision and temperament of any stage four World Deities is normally extraordinary, and it’s very rare that they would see a need to be so picky about bullying someone weaker. Monarch Cang Yong has three children, but I’ve not heard of his children having encountered any danger in the past. For the moment, I can’t think of any way that enmity could form between the two parties.”

Xue Ying nodded.

This matter left him puzzled as well. Without even clarifying the contents of this enmity, how could he be willing to let his subordinate die? If he was to chase Bai Li Shang out of his personal guard, it would be nothing short of sending him to his death!

“Attendant,” Xue Ying suddenly voiced.

“Your Highness,” an attendant outside the room acknowledged his order.

“Bring Commander Bai Li Shang over to see me,” Xue Ying ordered.
