As a Red Robe Famous Constable of the Divine Constable Gate, Xiang Yang was not only peerless in martial arts and highly renowned, but also wore an official uniform. He was by no means a Lone Wolf with nothing but brute strength and no protection.
Gu Shentong's family had vast holdings and great power. He could not possibly risk offending the Divine Constable Gate by forcibly killing Xiang Yang, so he had always used his Lineage's strength to negotiate with the Divine Constable Gate, all for a single opportunity.
All he sought was to cast aside their respective identities and fight Xiang Yang purely as a matter of martial world vengeance, with life and death left to fate.
The Divine Constable Gate had originally intended to protect Xiang Yang at all costs. After all, Xiang Yang was one of the rare outstanding juniors produced by the Divine Constable Gate in recent years, even acknowledged by experts at the level of Purple Robe Chief Constable and Titled Divine Constable. His future was boundless.
However, Xiang Yang himself proposed a two-month deadline, which counted as giving Gu Shentong an opportunity. Without further consideration, he agreed and patiently awaited the arrival of those two months.
The two-month deadline passed in the blink of an eye. Long before then, Gu Shentong had brought the Gu Family's patriarch to Yanxi Commandery, Qingjiang Prefecture, and finally to Black Mountain above the small county of Anyuan.
With Gu Shentong's arrival, quite a few experts from the seven commanderies also came rushing over at the news to watch the battle.
Among them were Yuwen Rui, patriarch of the Yuwen Family; Wan Dongliu, leader of the Divine Flood Gang under the Great River Alliance; his son Wan Tiancheng; Kou Feng, a hegemon-level figure who had recently wiped out Lianyun
