The Marquis Has an Order

Watching Little Gourd stomp its feet in the air, Gu Shaoshang loosely clenched his hand, feeling rather pleased.

Although the Immortal Slaying Gourd's attitude toward him had changed somewhat, Gu Shaoshang's guard against it had not diminished. Until he truly had it under control, he would never be at ease.

There was no other reason. The gap in strength was too great, making it easy for master and servant to switch places. If a magical treasure was too powerful, its master would naturally be at a disadvantage.

"Enough. Stop talking."

He waved his hand, and streams of purple energy rippled out, filling the entire hall like water.
