"The Young Master just sent a message, it seems something has happened!" the black snake elder rushed over, his expression grave.
"What happened?"
Gu Jianyi remained casual, his demeanor even more detached, as if nothing could stir him.
"The Four Great Cities have joined forces and are bringing many experts towards the Tomb of the Gods. It seems they intend to deal with the Holy City!" the black snake elder stated directly. "In this case, it's not safe for the Young Master to remain here. Why not leave first, and then make other plans when the Holy City's experts arrive!"
"Ridiculous! I, the dignified Young Master of the Holy City, should fear them!" Gu Jianyi said coldly. "Are they even worthy of it?"
Facing these words, the black snake elder chuckled awkwardly. "The Young Master speaks the truth, they are naturally not worthy. But this matter is of great importance. If the experts from the Four Great Cities all arrive, it will pose a certain threat to the Young Master!"
"No matter. I shall hold my ground here and see how they intend to proceed!"
Gu Jianyi said coldly, "No one has ever been able to stop what our Holy City intends to do!"
Following these words, the black snake elder's expression changed. He wanted to say more, but ultimately remained silent.
Gu Jianyi had his own plans, and if he were to speak further, it would be inappropriate.
Meanwhile, not far away, dozens of figures were already rushing towards the Tomb of the Gods, their momentum fierce and their auras overwhelming.
"They really have come!"
Looking at the scene before him, Gu Jianyi's lips curved upwards slightly, a coldness accompanying it. In his eyes, their actions were an insult to the Holy City, and he did not mind annihilating them all.
At the same time, the Lord of Snowfall City and others had arrived, Zhou Shen exuding a powerful aura.
The many experts of the Holy City also became vigilant, their gazes falling upon the Lord of Snowfall City with a hint of coldness.
"You are all too audacious, daring to defy my will and intrude upon the ancient tomb of the gods!"
Gu Jianyi's voice was icy as he looked at the Lord of Snowfall City, his gaze filled with murderous intent.
"Young Master Gu, I brought them here without any other intention. They simply wish to come here and enter the ancient tomb of the gods!"
The Lord of Snowfall City smiled. "If the Young Master is unwilling, the situation may become unmanageable. Even the Holy City would likely not wish to see this outcome!"
"Are you threatening me!"
Gu Jianyi narrowed his eyes, a chilling glint within them. How could he not understand what the Lord of Snowfall City had just said? However, as the Young Master of the Holy City, he would not compromise easily.
"You can think of it that way!" the Lord of Snowfall City said indifferently, a faint chill in his eyes, as if everything was within his control.
"What an arrogant tone!"
Gu Jianyi's expression was icy. "Do you truly believe I wouldn't dare to act against you?"
"Naturally, I do not believe that!"
The Lord of Snowfall City smiled. "However, Young Master, you must consider carefully. If you intend to move against me, the others will not stand idly by. It is likely to escalate into a conflict, which would be no good for the Holy City!"
"Black Snake, apprehend him!"
Gu Jianyi's expression was cold. He would not allow anyone to act so brazenly before him.
The black snake elder was slightly taken aback, a hint of awkwardness on his face. The Lord of Snowfall City was no weaker than him, not to mention the presence of the other city lords. To act now would be to invite trouble.
"Do my words no longer carry weight?" Gu Jianyi spoke again.
"Do you truly believe that within the Five Great Cities, only the Holy City calls the shots?" Bai Di narrowed his eyes. "If you truly think so, you are gravely mistaken. You might even pay with your life!"
"You dare to kill me?" Gu Jianyi sneered. "Who do you think you are? Do you really believe that simply by bearing the title of City Lord, you can do as you please?" Su Dan Novel Network
At these words, Bai Di's lips curved upwards, a murderous intent flashing as he lunged towards Gu Jianyi.
Seeing the situation turning sour, the black snake elder quickly intervened to block, but was intercepted by the Lord of Snowfall City.
The 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 gaze turned cold. "Your Young Master is in my hands. If you don't want him dead, you had best not make a move, or I'll choke him to death right now!"
The black snake elder quickly stopped. "Let's talk this through. Why resort to violence? We are all from the Five Great Cities!"
"If you had said this earlier, perhaps none of this would have happened!"
Bai Di's words were sharp, a cold glint in his eyes, expressing his extreme dissatisfaction with the current scene.
"If you dare to kill me, my Father will never let you go easily!"
Gu Jianyi's gaze held a chilling glint as he threatened Bai Di. "You surely know my Father's strength!"
"You are correct, I am indeed very clear about it!"
Bai Di nodded. "However, I will kill you today nonetheless, to give an explanation to everyone present!"
The crowd erupted in cheers. If even Gu Jianyi were to die, it would signify a true rupture, and a bloody catastrophe would surely befall the entire Primordial Ancient World.
"No, absolutely not!"
The black snake elder's expression shifted, and he repeatedly pleaded, not daring to show any negligence.
"It is likely too late to say such things now!" Bai Di shook his head, a sinister smile on his lips.
"If you have the guts, then do it. You'll pay dearly for it!"
Gu Jianyi did not beg for mercy. Instead, he remained defiant, as if no one could make him yield.
Bai Di did not humor him, and instantly unleashed an attack, filled with boundless power.
Pfft...
Gu Jianyi spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning pale. With just this one move, his cultivation was utterly destroyed.
"You actually dare..." Gu Jianyi looked at Bai Di, incredulous and filled with rage.
Bai Di's move had crippled his cultivation, meaning he would never be able to walk the path to godhood, nor would he ever be respected.
Thinking of this, Gu Jianyi was filled with fury. However, at that very moment, Bai Di struck again, intending to obliterate Gu Jianyi's spirit and form.
The Lord of Wushuang City suddenly intervened, blocking the terrifying strike. "His cultivation is already destroyed, why be so ruthless? Why not spare his life!"
"This brat is unrestrained and arrogant. Letting him live is not a good thing!" Bai Di warned.
The Lord of Wushuang City gave a wry smile. "Just consider it a favor to me!"
Bai Di was somewhat helpless. Since the Lord of Wushuang City had spoken, he could only desist, but only this once.
As for dealing with the Holy City, he would not let matters rest, and he would make the Holy City realize that he was not to be bullied at will.
