Gu Changsheng's palm, bearing a sword mark, healed at a visible pace, leaving no trace of a wound in a blink of an eye.
"Three-legged cat?"
Gu Changsheng gazed at Ye Kunlun's room, his aura beginning to surge. "Then let me show you what true Longevity Art is!"
"Are you here to fight?"
Ye Kunlun scoffed dismissively. "Believe it or not, after we finish fighting, Nangong Yunshao will be beyond saving."
Hearing this, Gu Changsheng's aura faltered. "What will it take for you to hand over the Star Soul Jade?"
"The Star Soul Jade was returned by her own volition," Ye Kunlun stated calmly. "I am not petty, nor do I force others."
"Since you refuse to kneel from Qintian Tower to my Netherworld Prison, then I shall have Nangong Yunshao serve as my foot-washing maid for a year."
Gu Changsheng's expression turned grim.
Nangong Yunshao was his prized disciple and the future head of Qintian Tower. How could she possibly be Ye Kunlun's foot-washing maid for a year!
If such a thing happened, wouldn't Qintian Tower become a laughingstock of the world?
"Ye Kunlun, do not be unreasonable," Gu Changsheng suppressed his anger. "I am here sincerely to make a deal with you."
"Furthermore, with Yunshao's character, she would rather die than become your foot-washing maid."
Ye Kunlun shrugged. "Then let her die."
"You!" Gu Changsheng was so infuriated he puffed out his beard and glared. "How could that old ghost have a disciple like you!"
"If you truly want the Star Soul Jade, then exchange it with Qintian Tower's most treasured artifact!"
Ye Kunlun's indifferent voice echoed from the room.
"Impossible!"
Gu Changsheng refused without a second thought.
Qintian Tower's most treasured artifact was of utmost importance. He would never hand it over to Ye Kunlun, even if it meant his death!
A cold sneer curved Ye Kunlun's lips. He calmly uttered three words, "Then scram!"
Instantly, killing intent filled the air, and a fierce wind began to rage!
Gu Changsheng's expression turned ugly. Ye Kunlun resorted to violence at the slightest disagreement, completely disregarding him as the head of Qintian Tower.
"Ye Kunlun, change your terms!"
Gu Changsheng steadied himself and spoke again.
"Heh, do you think my Netherworld Prison is a marketplace? Bargaining with me here?"
With that, Ye Kunlun instantly appeared before Gu Changsheng, their eyes meeting.
As Ye Kunlun materialized, Gu Changsheng's internal aura seemed to freeze for a moment. A look of horror flashed in his eyes.
"How can this be? Your cultivation is so strong!"
Gu Changsheng blurted out.
He knew Ye Kunlun's strength was not insignificant, and he had witnessed Ye Kunlun fighting a Japanese powerhouse in the void!
However, that battle had not seemed like much in Gu Changsheng's eyes.
After all, it wouldn't be difficult for him to stop that Japanese man with the topknot.
But now, with Ye Kunlun so close, he felt an intense pressure.
That pressure was from a higher realm, almost making him lose control, wanting to surrender to Ye Kunlun!
Gu Changsheng took half a step back, creating distance between himself and Ye Kunlun. "How could that old ghost teach such a powerful disciple? Who exactly are you?"
At this moment, Gu Changsheng began to doubt Ye Kunlun's identity.
Ye Kunlun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he shouted sternly, "Gu Changsheng, do you recognize this item?"
As he spoke, a jade tablet, snow-white all over and emitting a fluorescent and sacred aura, appeared in Ye Kunlun's hand.
In the center of the jade tablet was carved a lifelike eight-sided tower.
Upon seeing the jade tablet Ye Kunlun produced, Gu Changsheng's eyes widened in disbelief.
"This, this is the Qiantian Token? How is this possible? How could the Qiantian Token be in your hands?!"
Gu Changsheng recovered his senses and exclaimed.
Immediately, he transformed into an afterimage, lunging towards the Qiantian Token in Ye Kunlun's hand!
"Ye Kunlun, you've stolen Qintian Tower's Qiantian Token, return it at once!"
Gu Changsheng roared, his killing intent directed at Ye Kunlun.
Ye Kunlun sneered repeatedly, evading Gu Changsheng. "Gu Changsheng, upon seeing the Qiantian Token, why do you not kneel?!"
Gu Changsheng missed his target, his face extremely grim. He questioned Ye Kunlun, "How did the Qiantian Token end up in your hands?"
"You only need to kneel to the Qiantian Token. Have you forgotten Qintian Tower's rules?"
Killing intent gleamed in Ye Kunlun's eyes.
Gu Changsheng's failure to kneel upon seeing the Qiantian Token clearly indicated his disloyalty.
"The Qiantian Token was with the old楼主. Who knows if the Qiantian Token in your hand wasn't stolen from somewhere?"
Gu Changsheng sneered, showing no intention of kneeling.
"Ye Kunlun, I advise you to hand over the Qiantian Token, or I will kill you here today!"
Gu Changsheng did not hide his intent to kill Ye Kunlun.
"Stolen? Haha..."
Ye Kunlun couldn't help but burst into laughter upon hearing Gu Changsheng's words. "If the Qiantian Token could be easily stolen, then your Qintian Tower would cease to exist!"
"I'll ask you one more time, Gu Changsheng, will you kneel or not?!"
Ye Kunlun finally became enraged.
"Guards!"
Gu Changsheng gave a soft shout.
Instantly, thirteen white-clad figures arrived from all directions, encircling Ye Kunlun. Their terrifying killing intent surged towards him like a storm.
"Bold!"
Wudao and Feng Tutu exclaimed in unison, shielding Ye Kunlun.
"Gu Changsheng, this is Netherworld Prison. Do you dare to make a move here?" Wudao stared coldly at Gu Changsheng with a stern expression.
Ye Kunlun was the young master of Netherworld Prison.
Gu Changsheng's attack on Ye Kunlun was a direct insult to Ye Kunlun and Netherworld Prison!
"Gu Changsheng, after today, our Netherworld Prison's Four Impermanence will pay a visit to your Qintian Tower!"
Feng Tutu's pretty face was filled with murderous intent.
Ye Kunlun's expression was indifferent, killing intent condensing around him. He looked at the thirteen people surrounding him and said calmly, "Thirteen Qintian Riders. Gu Changsheng, it seems you were well-prepared to become an enemy of Netherworld Prison."
"Form the array!"
Gu Changsheng answered Ye Kunlun's words with action and power.
In an instant, the thirteen Qintian Riders transformed into thirteen white shadows, their terrifying power shaking the very souls of those present!
"I say again, hand over the Qiantian Token, or I will kill you under the thirteen Qintian Riders today!"
Gu Changsheng stated coldly.
The moment Ye Kunlun produced the Qiantian Token, he had already decided to kill Ye Kunlun.
This was because he knew the significance of the Qiantian Token. Only the one who obtained the Qiantian Token would be the true head of Qintian Tower and could cultivate the secret techniques hidden within the Qiantian Token.
"You are so eager to get the Qiantian Token from me. It seems you know the secret it holds."
A smile flickered across Ye Kunlun's indifferent face. "But do you know that the Qiantian Token has another wonderful use?"
Gu Changsheng was startled, a bad feeling rising in his heart.
Immediately, Ye Kunlun sent a hand seal into the Qiantian Token.
Instantly, the Qiantian Token blazed with white light and merged into the thirteen Qintian Riders, who had become one.
Pfft, pfft, pfft—
In the next second, Ye Kunlun broke the formation formed by the thirteen Qintian Riders and heavily wounded all thirteen of them.
