"Holy Light Merchant Guild merchant, you really are stupid." Lin Xue put away Terrence and the other three's corpses and all their treasures, looking at Lu Yang with a half-smile.
Lu Yang had been about to make his move. His strength had already risen to its peak, and sensing the icy killing intent emanating from Lin Xue, he knew Lin Xue wanted to kill him.
"So it was the chief steward. Th-this, what exactly is going on? I'm just a merchant; this has nothing to do with me, does it?" Lu Yang pretended it was a business matter, deliberately lowering Lin Xue's guard.
Lin Xue possessed peak upper-god strength, and his ice-element divine arts had reached perfection. He did not regard Lu Yang, a mere mid-level god, as a threat at all. He sneered and said, "Of course it has nothing to do with you. But you'll be leaving your life here as well."
Terrence and the others' deaths had to be pinned on Lu Yang and the Holy Light Merchant Guild. Otherwise, how could he explain the deaths of their clan chiefs to the aquatic warriors from the four military camps? He activated a barrier technique, and ice instantly froze the house shut, forming a sealed barrier.
Lu Yang put on a frightened expression and said, "I-I promise I won't say anything. I don't know anything. If I die, how will you explain it to our guild captain?"
"Don't worry. They won't survive either. They all have to die tonight." Lin Xue laughed wildly and drove two icy daggers straight at Lu Yang's armor.
Bang
The icy daggers were of the same grade as the Holy Spirit Armor, but they were infused with an upper god's divine power, making them even more powerful. They pierced through Lu Yang's armor.
