Even Jiang Xiaohui's expression changed when he heard this.
He might have been reckless, but he wasn't stupid.
He also knew what it meant for the Mo Family and the Gongshu Family to join forces and attack the Dark Abyss.
Even if we killed Gongshu Zan now, it would be meaningless.
Since the underground city was gathering all its strength to attack the Dark Abyss, they had already made their final stance clear. They had torn all pretense with us and didn't even care about preserving the last shred of dignity.
What Gongshu Zan said must have been true as well. Gongshu Ce would definitely send people to eliminate us and take the Heart Core from me.

I hesitated for a moment, then said to Jiang Xiaohui, "Kill him."
Gongshu Zan was of no use to us now. Besides, keeping him alive might leave us with a formidable enemy. We were about to risk our lives, so one less obvious enemy was one less problem.

So he had to die.
Not just him, but everyone he had brought with him.
When Jiang Xiaohui heard me order Gongshu Zan killed, he didn't say another word. He slashed his blade
