Su Xin's words had backed the three Primordial Spirit Realm experts into a corner, leaving them speechless.
Su Xin was plainly using his position to pressure them. He had even put his life on the line. What could they do now? Charge up and kill him?
The three could only snort and turn to leave. But just before departing, Ji Wukong, who had remained silent until then, threw out a parting warning. "Su Xin, don't get too pleased with yourself. This matter won't be settled so easily."
As the three Primordial Spirit Realm experts departed, the surrounding martial artists stared in stunned silence.
They didn't know whether to call Su Xin recklessly bold or coolly confident. Was he really not afraid that Sun Gan and the others would simply kill him?
Su Xin waved a hand, signaling for Li Huai and the others to head back.
Though he had pushed the conversation to the breaking point, he hadn't truly intended to stake his life against Sun Gan and the other two. He wasn't so loyal that he would risk his life for the Great Zhou Dynasty.
If Sun Gan and the others really attacked, Su Xin would have no choice but to run for his life. After all, Gu Donglai was still in Jiangnan Circuit. The three families would have a hard time swallowing the charge of attempting to assassinate the Jiangnan Circuit Chief Constable, whether or not they succeeded.
Of course, if Su Xin did that, his days as Jiangnan Circuit Chief Constable would be over.
Tie Zhan had already told him that the Six Fan Sect could only offer him limited support. Gu Donglai was there merely to keep an eye on the Xiao Family.
And now Su Xin couldn't even deal with the other sects in Jiangnan
