"The young master just sent a message; it seems something has happened!" the old man with the black snake appeared hurriedly, his expression grave.
"What happened?"
Gu Jianyi was nonchalant, his demeanor even more indifferent, as if nothing could stir him.
"The Four Great Cities have joined forces and are heading towards the Tomb of the Gods with many experts. It seems they intend to deal with the Holy City!" the old man with the black snake stated directly. "In that case, it's not safe for the young master to stay here. You might as well leave first and make other plans after the experts from the Holy City arrive!"
"Ridiculous! I, the dignified young master of the Holy City, should be afraid of them?" Gu Jianyi said coldly. "Are they even worthy?"
Facing these words, the old man with the black snake chuckled awkwardly. "The young master is right, they are indeed not worthy. But this matter is no small affair. If the experts of the Four Great Cities all arrive, it will pose a certain threat to the young master!"
"It matters not. I shall stay here and see how they conduct themselves!"
Gu Jianyi said coldly, "No one has ever been able to stop what our Holy City intends to do!"
Following these words, the old man with the black snake's expression changed. He wanted to say more, but ultimately remained silent.
Gu Jianyi had his own thoughts. If he were to speak too much, it would be inappropriate.
Meanwhile, not far away, dozens of figures were already charging towards the Tomb of the Gods, their momentum fierce and their auras carrying boundless power.
"They've really come!"
Looking at the scene before him, Gu Jianyi's lips curved slightly, a coldness in his gaze. In his eyes, their actions were a disrespect to the Holy City, and he didn't mind eradicating them all.
At the same time, the City Lord of Xue Luo and others had arrived, Zhou Shen exuding a powerful aura.
Many experts from the Holy City also became vigilant, their gazes turning towards the City Lord of Xue Luo with a faint cold glint.
"How dare you defy my orders and intrude upon the ancient tomb of the gods!"
Gu Jianyi's voice was icy, his gaze fixed on the young master of Gu Jianyi, filled with killing intent.
"Young Master Gu, I brought them here without any other intention. It's just that they wished to come here and enter the ancient tomb of the gods!"
The City Lord of Xue Luo smiled. "If the young master refuses, the situation might become unmanageable. Even the Holy City would not wish to see this scene!"
"Are you threatening me!"
Gu Jianyi narrowed his eyes, a cold glint within them. How could he not understand what City Lord Xue Luo had said? However, as the young master of the Holy City, he would not compromise easily.
"You can think of it that way!" The City Lord of Xue Luo's expression was indifferent, with a hint of coldness, as if everything was within his control.
"What arrogant words!"
Gu Jianyi's expression was icy. "Do you truly believe I wouldn't dare to touch you?"
"I naturally wouldn't think that!"
The City Lord of Xue Luo smiled. "However, Young Master, you must consider carefully. If you intend to move against me, the others will not stand idly by. It might lead to a battle, which would not be good for the Holy City!"
"Black Snake, apprehend him!"
Gu Jianyi's expression was cold. He would not allow anyone to be so presumptuous in front of him.
The old man with the black snake hesitated, a hint of embarrassment on his face. The City Lord of Xue Luo was no weaker than him, not to mention the presence of many other city lords. To act now would be to court disaster.
"Do my words no longer hold sway?" Gu Jianyi spoke again.
"Do you truly believe that within the Five Great Cities, the Holy City has the final say?" Bai Di narrowed his eyes. "If you think so, you are gravely mistaken. You might even lose your life!"
"You dare to kill me?" Gu Jianyi sneered. "Who do you think you are? Do you really believe that just because you bear the title of City Lord, you can do as you please?" Su Dan Fiction Network
Facing these words, Bai Di's lips curved slightly, a murderous intent flashing as he charged towards Gu Jianyi.
Seeing the situation turn dire, the old man with the black snake hurriedly moved to block, but was intercepted by the City Lord of Xue Luo.
Many other experts also joined the confrontation. In the blink of an eye, Gu Jianyi was captured by Bai Di, appearing quite disheveled.
Bai Di's expression turned cold. "Your young master is in my hands. If you don't want him to die, it's best you don't make a move, or I'll crush him right now!"
The old man with the black snake quickly stopped. "Let's talk, why resort to violence? We are all people of the Five Great Cities!"
"If you had said that earlier, perhaps none of this would have happened!"
Bai Di's words were sharp, with a cold glint, showing his extreme dissatisfaction with the current situation.
"If you dare to kill me, my father will never let you off lightly!"
With a faint cold glint, Gu Jianyi threatened Bai Di. "You should be very aware of my father's strength!"
"You are correct, I am indeed very aware!"
Bai Di nodded. "However, I will still kill you today to give an explanation to everyone present!"
The crowd erupted in cheers. If even Gu Jianyi were to die, it would truly be a complete severance, and a bloody disaster would inevitably occur throughout the ancient world.
"This must not happen, absolutely not!"
The old man with the black snake's expression shifted, and he repeatedly urged, not daring to show any negligence.
"It's probably too late to say that now!" Bai Di shook his head, a sinister smile on his lips.
"If you have the guts, then do it. You'll regret it!"
Gu Jianyi did not beg for mercy. Instead, he remained defiant, as if no one could make him yield.
Bai Di did not indulge him. He immediately unleashed an attack, carrying boundless power.
*Puff...*
Gu Jianyi spat out a mouthful of blood, his face contorted in pain. With just this one move, his cultivation was completely crippled.
"You actually dare..." Gu Jianyi looked at Bai Di, disbelief and immense rage in his eyes.
Bai Di's move had crippled his cultivation, meaning he would never be able to tread the path to godhood again, nor would he ever be respected.
Thinking of this, Gu Jianyi was filled with fury. However, in that very instant, Bai Di struck again, intending to annihilate Gu Jianyi's body and spirit.
The City Lord of Wushuang suddenly intervened, blocking the terrifying blow. "His cultivation is ruined, why pursue him to the death? Why not spare his life!"
"This brat is incredibly arrogant. Letting him live would not be a good thing!" Bai Di warned.
The City Lord of Wushuang gave a wry smile. "Consider it doing me a favor!"
Bai Di was somewhat helpless. Since the City Lord of Wushuang had spoken, he could only desist, but that was all.
As for dealing with the Holy City, he would not let it go, and he would make the Holy City realize that he was not to be bullied at will.
