The Dragon Emperor Actually Stepped In for a Youngster?! This Made No Sense
"Jin Yan, it's just a minor conflict. Does it really warrant such a big fuss?"
Black Obsidian King spoke indifferently.
"Black Obsidian King, do you not know what kind of mistake he has made?" King Jin Yan retorted.
"I know." Black Obsidian King said calmly, "It was just a dispute with a genius taking the College Entrance Examination. There are some irreconcilable differences between us... Marquis Gu Tong is under my command. Even the Four Greats can't just arrest someone so easily, can they?"
"Moreover, you came here intending to exterminate an entire clan. Don't forget, this is a grave taboo for us Martial Kings."
Black Obsidian King specifically emphasized that Marquis Gu Tong was one of his subordinates.
This confidence stems from his own background.
Not only is he Martial King himself, but his Lineage also has a "Sub-Emperor level figure who is close to the Martial Emperor level behind him... Even the Four Greats have to give him some face.
"Just a College Entrance Examination genius?"
King Jin Yan's words carried a hint of mockery, "Do you know the level of this College Entrance Examination genius, and the strength he has displayed?"
"Advanced Martial General who can kill Advanced Martial General... Such a genius is indeed extremely rare in the past years' College Entrance Examinations, but even so, is it really necessary to sacrifice the entire clan of a Peak Martial Marquis?"
Black Obsidian King said, "Golden Flame, for my sake, let this matter drop... If you have trouble explaining yourself, you can mention the person behind me."
"Although Marquis Gu Tong is only a Martial Marquis, he saved my life twice when I was weak, and now he is a trusted confidant under my command. I must protect him... Moreover, if I remember correctly, you seem to be lacking Dao Comprehension Stone Stele to comprehend the 'Three Thousand Great Daos.' If you are willing to let him go, you can come to my clan at any time, and I will open the Dao Comprehension Stone Stele for you alone for one year!"
"How?"
From Black Obsidian King's words, it's not hard to see that Marquis Gu Tong's current status is basically due to the fact that he once saved Black Obsidian King.
Those who know more about the situation would understand that what Black Obsidian King experienced was the most melodramatic, traditional, and classic "Imperial Family ethics soap opera"... Marquis Gu Tong risking his life to save him was like betting on something, gambling.
As it turned out, the Marquis Gu Tong won his bet.
The Black Obsidian King was very grateful and supported him all the way up to become Peak Martial Marquis, standing at the top of Great Moon City... Even if he offended some formidable figures, he was willing to stand up for them.
This is also why Gu Yunlou and Marquis Gu Tong are so confident. It's not just that they have Peak Martial Marquis backing them up, but also a Martial King Rank standing behind them... Their powerful background is self-evident!
Now that the Marquis Gu Tong has committed such a shocking mistake, the Black Obsidian King is not only willing to personally step forward, but even goes so far as to open his own Dao Comprehension Stone Stele to outsiders... Others may not know the importance of the Dao Comprehension Stone Stele, but anyone above the Martial Marquis level knows what the Dao Comprehension Stone Stele is. It is practically a family treasure, and not only is it not open to the public, but it is not even revealed to outsiders!
It is evident that Black Obsidian King went to great lengths to protect Marquis Gu Tong.
"Hehe."
"The Dao Comprehension Stone Stele, the offer is indeed tempting... but unfortunately, this situation is too special."
King Jin Yan laughed, "Gu Baizhong, should you tell us the true strength of that College Entrance Examination genius, or should I tell you for him?"
At this moment, the Marquis Gu Tong was drenched in sweat.
Black Obsidian King frowned as he looked at Marquis Gu Tong: "Is there something going on? What is that little guy's true cultivation level?"
"Reporting to Lord Hei Yao, that boy's true strength is... Intermediate Martial Marshal!"
Black Obsidian King's pupils contracted.
College Entrance Examination exam candidate with Martial Marshal level skills?!
And he's even Intermediate Martial Marshal?!
Since the rise of Human Race, such prodigies have been extremely rare!
No wonder the Dragon Martial Association to such lengths, even having the King Jin Yan, who was ranked on the Golden Rankings, personally exterminate the clan... In front of such monstrous geniuses, what is a mere Martial Marquis Marquis-level Aristocratic Clan? Not to mention Martial Marquis level Aristocratic Clan, even ordinary Martial King Rank clans could be decisively abandoned!
"Lord Heiyao, my son provoked him, but he has already died at his hands... From this day forward, I Heaven and Earth Oath I will never seek revenge against him or cause him any trouble... Moreover, if he so desires, I can personally lead my entire clan to apologize to him, offer compensation, and even pay him reparations—no problem whatsoever!"
"Just spare me and my people!"
The Marquis Gu Tong, humbled to the extreme, pleaded.
According to his usual nature, he would bow his head, but he would never be so humble... But when he saw the King Jin Yan appear and intend to annihilate his entire clan, the Marquis Gu Tong was truly terrified.
Clearly, the Four Greats were willing to pay any price to recruit Su Zhan, but now that Su Zhan was determined to destroy him, persuasion was useless... Even with Black Obsidian King's protection, he had to be humble and beg for a chance to survive!
"You... you..."
Black Obsidian King shook his head and looked at King Jin Yan, "Golden Flame, you heard it too. He's willing to pay the price for his mistakes. That little guy should calm down now, right?"
"No."
Without the slightest hesitation, King Jin Yan said directly, "Black Obsidian King, you've already wasted a minute of my time. I'm only giving you this much face because of the Sub-Emperor level behind you... Now you have ten seconds to consider whether to give in or not."
"No room for negotiation?"
Black Obsidian King frowned deeply.
"No discussion."
The King Jin Yan raised his fiery hand once more.
"Then I'll have to give it a try."
With a flick of his wrist, Black Obsidian King conjured a black aura that transformed into a jet-black longsword, which he then grasped in his hand.
"Then give it a try."
King Jin Yan was about to make his move.
Suddenly, the Black Obsidian King's Space Ring trembled, and then a golden light automatically floated out from it.
"Message from the Ancestor?"
Black Obsidian King reached out and grabbed the golden light tightly.
He received the entire message in an instant, and his expression changed drastically.
Then, Black Obsidian King gave Marquis Gu Tong a deep look, which sent chills down Marquis Gu Tong's spine... He seemed to realize his fate and stammered, "Lord Obsidian, save me, please, save me! I don't want to die!"
"If you didn't want to die, you shouldn't have indulged your son. Now that a disaster has occurred, it's too late."
Boom!
Black Obsidian King's words were like a bolt from the blue, striking Marquis Gu Tong as if he had been struck by lightning, leaving him terrified.
"Take care of yourself."
The Black Obsidian King sheathed his black sword, withdrew his gaze, turned around, tore through the void, and stepped inside.
"Lord Kokuyo, even if I die, please tell me why! I want to die knowing the reason!"
Marquis Gu Tong couldn't understand why Black Obsidian King had clearly intended to make a move, suddenly gave up... What exactly did the Ancestor's message say that made Black Obsidian King so decisive?
"The Ancestor only said one sentence: 'The Dragon Emperor has gone to find him.'"
After finishing his sentence, Black Obsidian King left without looking back.
The Marquis Gu Tong was utterly shocked.
Dragon Emperor?!
Even if someone is a Martial Marshal level genius, how could they possibly alarm the Dragon Emperor?!
That was the founder of Dragon Martial, one of the five leaders of Yanhuang, and a top expert of the Human Race!
How could someone personally contact a mere sub-Emperor just for a little guy? That doesn't make sense!
The instant the void rift heals itself.
Boom!!
The giant flaming finger reappeared, carrying immense, terrifying force, and relentlessly pressed down, completely engulfing the utterly lifeless Marquis Gu Tong...
Along with the Gu Yue Family, they were all wiped out, disappearing into the long history of Great Moon City.
For a long time to come, the Gu Yue Family will likely be used as a negative example by countless Aristocratic Clan to educate their descendants... A Peak Martial Marquis with a bright future was ruined by a treacherous son, losing not only his life but also the entire Lineage.
What does this tell us?
No matter how strong your background or how powerful your backer, don't be reckless, or you might end up messing with an unreasonable and overpowered person one day!
