PS: This chapter is a bonus update for Alliance Leader ZZZ Xinmiao's reward.
Although Erduo and Chiliege could find no fault with Su Xin's words, neither wanted to be led around by the nose by him.
Intense killing intent flickered around Chiliege as he looked at Su Xin with cold eyes. "They say you, Su Xin, have quite the silver tongue. We have no way of knowing whether what you said is true or false, but I do know this: if we can keep you here today, it will likewise inspire the people and stabilize the Eight Imperial Clans. The effect would be far greater than taking some small advantage from Great Zhou, as you suggested."
"Keep me here? You may try." Su Xin said calmly.
A chill flashed through Chiliege's eyes. He suddenly formed a seal with both hands, and a strange ripple instantly erupted through the hall. A black-and-red flower of hell burst into bloom, carrying an incomparably sinister aura as it struck toward Su Xin.
The Kungjia Sect had evolved from the Esoteric Sect, while also incorporating certain cultivation methods from the local shamanic faith of the Golden Tent Khanate. Thus, while traces of the Esoteric Sect could still be seen in Kungjia Sect martial arts, it had long since formed its own school, strange and sinister to the extreme.
Meanwhile, a dazzling radiance erupted from Erduo's body opposite Su Xin. He seemed to transform into an ancient god; with one punch, he carried the might to split heaven and earth. In an instant, the entire palace rang with explosive crashes and trembled. Had he not deliberately restrained his power, this entire palace might have collapsed beneath that punch.
When Chiliege said earlier that he wanted to keep Su Xin here, he had not merely been talking.
