Open up and break into another world

"Hmph!"

Ao Xiang's lips curled into a sneer.

In his opinion, it was inevitable that Gu Kongshan would yield.

"The feeling of bullying others with power is really great!" Ao Xiang thought to himself smugly. "In terms of cultivation and strength, I might be slightly inferior to Gu Kongshan. However, because of the constraints of the Wild Desolation Sect, Gu Kongshan can only submit to me…"

Many people felt that Gu Kongshan's character was very weak and incompetent—but was that really the case?

When Gu Kongshan was young, he also used to draw his sword at the slightest disagreement, causing blood to splatter for ten steps; he also used to risk his life for a single breath… But after becoming the Sect Master of the Wild Desolation Sect, he never dared to be so willful again!

Time had not washed away Gu Kongshan's bloodthirst; instead, it had given Gu Kongshan a sense of responsibility!

To be honest, drawing swords at the slightest disagreement is not difficult; any reckless man with firm martial arts beliefs can do it!

But like Gu Kongshan, clearly having monstrous hatred in his heart, yet willing to endure humiliation in order to protect the sect's peace, this is truly commendable!

Was Gu Kongshan afraid of death?

What was there to fear about death! Gu Kongshan had already experienced countless life-and-death situations in his life!

What Gu Kongshan feared was that the Wild Desolation Sect would suffer a devastating disaster because of his wrong decision.

"My death is insignificant, but if the legacy of the Wild Desolation Sect is buried because of my wrong decision, then even if I die ten thousand times, it would not be enough to atone for my sins!"

In Gu Kongshan's eyes, the legacy of the Wild Desolation Sect was countless times more important than his life, even his dignity!

And Ao Xiang, although he quite enjoyed seeing Gu Kongshan submit in front of him, also had some regrets: "It's a pity, it would be better if Gu Kongshan was a little more tough, then I could justifiably take the opportunity to destroy the Wild Desolation Sect! But he always yields, and I'm a little embarrassed to attack…"

Ao Xiang couldn't wait for a head-on collision, but how could the "cunning old fox" Gu Kongshan give him such an opportunity?

Although the Hidden Kill Sect was powerful, it wasn't like they could destroy whoever they wanted; they still needed a justifiable reason!—Lanting Mountain Villa did not allow the forces under its jurisdiction to fight and kill each other for no reason.

"I have to push him a little more!" Ao Xiang pondered, "This time, we have rarely reached the point of swords drawn with the Wild Desolation Sect! It would be a pity if we didn't take the opportunity to destroy the Wild Desolation Sect!—Yes, we must seize the opportunity!"

Thinking of this, Ao Xiang made a decision in his heart.

"Gu Kongshan!" Ao Xiang said, "My requests are not excessive, only three points!"

"Speak!" Gu Kongshan said coldly.

Xu Ming also listened indifferently.

"First, the five hundred Hidden Kill Sect martial artists captured by your Wild Desolation Sect must be released immediately!"

"Okay." Gu Kongshan nodded almost without hesitation.

Keeping these five hundred Hidden Kill Sect martial artists would also require feeding them; it would be easier to release them sooner rather than later.

"Don't rush…" Ao Xiang said, "Second, Elder Zhu Jue and Special Envoy Wu Xiong of my Hidden Kill Sect both died within the territory of your Wild Desolation Sect. I have reason to suspect that the murderer is Xu Ming! So… the second request is to hand over Xu Ming!"

"What!?" Gu Kongshan was stunned, bit his teeth, and did not answer.

Xu Ming watched calmly.

After a while, he didn't capture any expression of betrayal on Gu Kongshan's face, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Ming wasn't afraid of falling into the hands of the Hidden Kill Sect, but was afraid of being betrayed by someone he trusted.

"Hmm?" Gu Kongshan glanced vaguely in the direction where Xu Ming was, and even swept with his mental power, but found nothing.

"Gu Kongshan!" Ao Xiang's cold voice sounded again, "Remember, these three requests, I am not discussing with you, but directly notifying you!—If you do all three points, our two sects will continue to be safe and sound; if you miss one point, then you can wait for our Hidden Kill Sect army to invade!"

After saying this, Ao Xiang didn't look at Gu Kongshan's face, laughed arrogantly, and cut off the communication water curtain.

After the communication water curtain faded, Gu Kongshan looked at the location where Xu Ming was again; "Come out!"

"Sect Master!" Xu Ming's figure gradually appeared in the air.

"How long have you been hiding here?"

"Almost came in with you." Xu Ming didn't hide anything.

"Alas…" Gu Kongshan sighed, pulled a chair and sat down casually, "You sit too!"

"Sect Master, what are you planning to do?" Xu Ming asked directly.

The newest novel is at 6 9 books bar first!

Gu Kongshan and Ao Xiang's conversation, Xu Ming heard from beginning to end, naturally there was nothing to hide.

"It's not what I'm planning to do, but… what that old ghost Ao Xiang is planning to do!" Gu Kongshan smiled mockingly and said, "The three requests he made are forcing me!"

Xu Ming just listened, without speaking.

"The first request, to immediately release the five hundred Hidden Kill Sect martial artists, is nothing! Anyway, I didn't plan to use this to ask the Hidden Kill Sect for ransom, or to make conditions…"

After all, the Wild Desolation Sect was weak. If they dared to make demands with the prisoners, then when the Hidden Kill Sect redeemed the prisoners, it would be time for revenge.

"The second point, to hand you over…" Gu Kongshan looked at Xu Ming and shook his head with a smile.

"Sect Master, you can actually hand me over!" Xu Ming also smiled, "To be honest, the mere Hidden Kill Sect really can't do anything to me!"

"I know! Just now you were clearly by my side, but I didn't notice it at all; even later you exposed a trace of killing intent, I still couldn't find you—based on this alone, I know that the Hidden Kill Sect really can't do anything to you!" Gu Kongshan said, "But, handing you over won't solve the problem! His third request is forcing me to refuse!"

The third request, forcing Gu Kongshan to accept the betrothal gifts!

However, in Gu Kongshan's heart, even the legacy of the Wild Desolation Sect was not as important as Gu Hanmo!

Therefore, when Ao Xiang said the third request, Gu Kongshan knew that the two sides could no longer negotiate; next, there would only be war!

"War…" Gu Kongshan's eyes were complicated, "If there really is a war, between our Wild Desolation Sect and their Hidden Kill Sect, who will win and who will lose is really unknown… But, is it worth using our trump cards for the Hidden Kill Sect?"

What Gu Kongshan had to consider was not the victory or defeat of a battle, but the entire legacy of the Wild Desolation Sect!

Xu Ming was silent for a long time.

Suddenly, a firm light burst out in Xu Ming's eyes: "Sect Master, give me some time!"

"Oh?" Gu Kongshan was a little surprised, but didn't ask much, just said, "Okay! I will try my best to delay it longer, so that the war comes later…"

Let me tell you a sad story… When this chapter was written, the word processing software crashed… I re-coded it again… This is really a sad and tearful story!
