"You're threatening me!!!"
A flash of severity crossed Mu Wang's eyes. As he spoke, his aura surged, and fierce winds howled. It was as though Heaven itself had been enraged, and a thunderclap suddenly exploded.
"Mu Wang, with so many Martial Saints present, we've already given you enough face. Are you really going to stubbornly resist to the bitter end?"
Iron Sword Martial Saint Helian Haoyan shouted angrily, "Greed knows no bounds. No one wants an ancestor pressing down over their heads. The lesson of God Axe Mountain back then is right before us. You must not forget the rules laid down by your Mu Family's ancestors."
As soon as Helian Haoyan said this, Thunder Blade Martial Saint Fu Dao, who had been joining forces with the other Martial Saints, darkened in expression. He took half a step back, his face shifting uncertainly.
"Heh... Helian boy, it's not your place to lecture me yet!"
Martial Saint Mu Wang of the Rising Sun snorted coldly. His tiger-like eyes, gleaming with sharp light, swept over everyone. Apart from the three peak Martial Saints, almost no one dared meet his gaze. "Who told you that my Mu Family violated the rules laid down by our ancestors? My family's rule is to conduct business as business, not to contend for supremacy over the continent. This time is no exception.
"My Mu Family mobilized troops into this eight-hundred-li Flame Territory not to occupy this Fire Gilt Iron vein for ourselves, but because someone entrusted us with mining its Fire Gilt Iron. This vein wasn't discovered by my Mu Family. We're merely providing some manpower to help. What's the problem?"
The many Xiantian Martial Saints' gazes sharpened, and their momentum faltered. If things were as Mu Wang claimed, had they targeted the wrong party?
"Hahahaha..."
