Gu Qingshan didn't move.
The other man pointed his spear at him, clearly issuing a warning.
If Gu Qingshan made any excessive move, the man would immediately unleash his Six Paths God Skill.
"Are you here to kill me?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"Yes. You killed the County Magistrate and so many others," the middle-aged man said.
"Then why haven't you made a move?" Gu Qingshan asked again.
"Everyone's strength has been sealed, and you've escaped my Divine Skill twice. There's only one possibility—you're—" the middle-aged man began.
"That's right," Gu Qingshan immediately cut in. "I awakened a Six Paths God Skill."
Awakened, my ass.
But if he didn't go along with the man's assumption, things would only get harder.
First, he needed to get himself out of trouble. Then he could activate the Red Dragon Origin Curse!
The middle-aged man glanced at the orchid in Gu Qingshan's hand, understanding dawning in his eyes.
"I saw what happened just now. You can summon helpers out of thin air. Which Path's Divine Skill is that?" he probed.
Gu Qingshan immediately understood what the man was getting at. "Of course it's the Yellow Springs Path. I'm a deity of Yellow Springs, the genuine article."
"Yellow Springs?" The middle-aged man stared at him.
"That's right." Gu Qingshan smiled. "You chased after me because I killed the County Magistrate? He was hiding plenty of secrets. He'd secretly sided with the Evil Ghost Path. I couldn't stand by and watch, so I killed him."
The middle-aged man looked surprised. "He sided with the Evil Ghost Path?"
"Of course. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone out of my way to strip him of his Holy Chosen status and cast him into Yellow Springs." Gu Qingshan held the orchid, his expression displeased.
The middle-aged man eyed Gu Qingshan suspiciously.
