Chapter 174: Kneel Down And Apologize
Chapter 174: Kneel Down And Apologize
"Thank you, Sect Master!" Elder Yun received the jade token and a pleased expression crossed his face.
Although he advocated for negotiations, having strength to back it up was essential.
Now, with the formidable Guardian Thunder Lion, which was even stronger than the Sect Master, Yun Chang had the courage to make Su Zhan bow his head!
Seeing this, Feng Xu's eyes flickered with a hint of reluctance. He truly couldn't bear the thought of merely having Su Zhan apologize. He spoke in a deep voice, "But what if that Su Zhan remains obstinate and refuses to yield?"
"Elder Feng, you're worrying too much. With the Guardian Thunder Lion present, it's unlikely that he would act so recklessly."
"Elder Yun, there are always uncertainties. What if Su Zhan truly refuses to yield?"
The Sect Master of Beast Taming Mountain furrowed his brow, and a killing intent flashed in his eyes.
"If that's the case, then kill him! You two, along with the Guardian Thunder Lion, should be more than enough to deal with Su Zhan, right?"
"Absolutely!" Feng Xu was overjoyed and quickly agreed.
Although Feng Yue was only his nephew, he had raised him like a son since childhood. Feng Xu couldn't just let the matter rest after his son' was killed.
The reason he hadn't gone after Su Zhan during these days was that he felt his own strength wasn't enough, so he had to endure it. But now, Su Zhan had taken the initiative to come to Beast Taming Mountain. Seeking to use the sect's influence to avenge Feng Yue, how could Feng Xu miss this opportunity?
A cold smile formed in Feng Xu's heart as he contemplated how to provoke Su Zhan's emotions later and persuade Elder Yun to join him in killing Su Zhan.
"Understood!" Elder Yun didn't object either.
Although he hoped to avoid conflict with Su Zhan, if Su Zhan refused to yield and tarnished the reputation of Beast Taming Mountain, then they had no choice but to eliminate him.
Soon after, the two of them left the main peak of Beast Taming Mountain and headed toward the location of the Guardian Thunder Lion's lair.
At this moment, within a twenty-mile radius of Little Cloud Moutain, there were no living creatures left. Anything capable of fleeing, whether it was humans or demon beasts, had all escaped.
Several dozen miles away, a crowd had gathered, watching the square of Little Cloud Moutain. They were all drawn there by the accounts of the warriors who had managed to escape from Little Cloud Moutain.
According to these people, a monster had appeared in Little Cloud Moutain. It looked human, but its gaze could kill! It was even said that even a Fish-Dragon Realm expert died after being looked at by him!
These sensational stories spread rapidly throughout Beast Taming Mountain, causing hundreds of people to gather within half an hour, several dozen miles away from Little Cloud Moutain's square. They all stared curiously at Su Zhan on the square.
"Is the monster you're talking about that person?"
"I used my spiritual eyes earlier to get a clear look at that person. I don't feel like he's a monster!"
"Exactly! Not only does he not look like a monster, he's even quite handsome! He's making people feel a bit intrigued!"
"You girls are too naive. Don't you know that there are demon races in the Spirit Continent that can take on human form? Don't be fooled by his appearance. He might eat people without leaving a trace!"
"That's terrifying!"
Mixed discussions filled the air.
Suddenly, someone's expression turned to shock, and then they excitedly pointed in a certain direction. "Look, the Thunder Lion is coming!"
"The Guardian Thunder Lion! I've been at Beast Taming Mountain for five years and only heard about it. I never thought I'd actually see it today!"
"The Thunder Lion is one of the strongest beings in our sect, second only to the Saint Patriarch. I can't believe the Sect Master had the two elders bring the Thunder Lion. Is this Su Zhan really that formidable?"
"Regardless of anything else, just being able to see the Thunder Lion makes this trip worthwhile!"
Excited Beast Taming Mountain disciples gazed at the enormous lion-like creature in the distance, its fur displaying shades of purple and blue, and arcs of electricity occasionally dancing in its eyes.
Above the demon beast Thunder Lion, Elder Yun and Feng Xu soared through the air. They were slightly slower than the Thunder Lion.
"Roar!"
Arriving at the base of Little Cloud Moutain, the Thunder Lion let out a furious roar. With a flash of lightning around its limbs, it leaped directly onto the nearly hundred-meter-high square of Little Cloud Moutain's mountainside.
"Bang!"
As its limbs landed, four large craters were created on the square! Bricks and stones flew in all directions!
"Are you the one who provoked Beast Taming Mountain? Kneel down and apologize, and this matter will be settled!" The Thunder Lion's gaze fell upon Su Zhan, conveying a message laced with a threat.
Huh?
Beast Taming Mountain sent a demon beast to talk to me? Su Zhan was taken aback for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, he saw two figures soaring up from below.
Both were at the Half-Saint realm.
"Are you Su Zhan?" Elder Yun looked ahead and directly asked.
"I am. I want to see your Saint Patriarch. There are some matters that I must explain to him personally." Su Zhan nodded.
"You want to see the Saint Patriarch?" Elder Yun was momentarily surprised.
Before he could reply, Feng Xu had already become furious. "Shut up! Who do you think you are? You dare to see the Saint Patriarch? Today, you must kneel down and apologize. Otherwise, I'll kill your whole family!"
Kneel down and apologize? Kill my whole family?
A cold glint flashed in Su Zhan's eyes.
Elder Yun's expression changed slightly. He said, "Elder Feng, your words"
"Is there something wrong with what I said?"
Feng Xu sneered, "Isn't the Sect Master's intention to make Su Zhan bow down and apologize? If he doesn't apologize, kill him? Did I say something wrong?!"
Elder Yun fell silent for a moment, feeling somewhat annoyed.
You're damn right. But do you have to be so direct? Couldn't you find a more subtle way to communicate?
By saying it like this, aren't you obviously trying to provoke Su Zhan?
Recognizing Feng Xu's intention, Elder Yun furrowed his brows, but for a moment, he didn't know how to respond. After all, Feng Xu's intention was indeed in line with the Sect Master's.
Just as he was struggling with what to say, the Thunder Lion also transmitted a hostile message, "Enough! This seat is going back to rest. Since this kid doesn't know his place, I'll just swallow him whole!"
With that, lightning arcs appeared around the Thunder Lion.
"Friend Thunder Lion, please reconsider!" Elder Yun exclaimed.
But it was already too late. The Thunder Lion had a volatile temper and paid no heed to his words. It charged directly toward Su Zhan.
Elder Yun took out a jade token, hesitating whether or not to activate the special beast-taming command token to forcefully restrain its attacking behavior.
Feng Xu interjected, "Elder Yun, our Beast Taming Mountain has been a grand sect for a thousand years. Today, we've already given this kid enough face. He killed our Beast Taming Mountain elders. We just wanted him to apologize, but he's unwilling! Have you become so weak that you're willing to tolerate this? Do you really want to endure this? In my opinion, not only should he die, but he should die miserably!"
Hearing Feng Xu's words, Elder Yun's expression changed multiple times. In the end, he gave up on the idea of forcefully commanding the Thunder Lion.
Firstly, as Feng Xu had pointed out, Su Zhan was indeed too arrogant.
Secondly, the Thunder Lion held a much higher position in Beast Taming Mountain than he did. He was afraid that if he used the beast-taming token to forcibly restrain the Thunder Lion and then handed over the token, he would face retaliation from the Thunder Lion.
After all, the Thunder Lion only respected the Saint Patriarch in Beast Taming Mountain and didn't regard them Half-Saints as significant.
In that case, they would just let things be. If Su Zhan died, it would be a resolution to the issue.
With these thoughts in mind, Elder Yun's tightly furrowed brows relaxed.
Seeing this, Feng Xu felt relieved and looked at Su Zhan. "Elder Yun, soon we'll be able to witness this kid meeting his demise under the Thunder Lion's claws Huh? Is that a beast-taming handprint he's using? Just the most basic one! What does he want to do? Is he trying to tame the Thunder Lion with this basic beast-taming method? Is he trying to make us laugh? Haha!"
