The Reason Was Perfect

That's a perfectly reasonable statement.

The fact that everyone is taking action now is as if they don't trust the Palace Lord.

Upon hearing this, the Palace Lord also felt certain of victory and that there was no need for anyone else to intervene.

He immediately spoke up.

"I don't need your help."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone naturally started watching the spectacle.

Su Zhan did his best to play the role of the Grand Elder.

"Close the Palace Gate; we can't let him escape under any circumstances."

The Guard immediately closed the door.

Inside the hall, only the Palace Lord, Elder, and some Guard who always followed the Palace Lord remained. There were also many people outside, so it was really not easy for the old man to leave.

The old man clearly noticed this as well, and he visibly became much more anxious.

They even tried again to persuade the Palace Lord.

"You won't get away with this. You can't afford to offend the person behind me."

"Let me leave, I can pretend none of this ever happened."

"You will continue to help me deal with Su Zhan. As originally agreed, you will receive all the benefits you are entitled to. You have no doubt about it, understand?"

The Palace Lord was no longer listening to anything.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was off about the other person.

Even if there's really no problem, we should still give him some extra compensation.

He cannot accept these conditions now.

But he was too lazy to discuss any conditions. He simply said he wanted to defeat the old man first to prove himself and show the other party what kind of formidable figure he, the Palace Lord, was.

"Shut up, you're just being cowardly by not letting me know who you are."

"I have nothing to say to you."

The Palace Lord sneered.

They then went all out, seemingly determined to annihilate their opponent.

The old man was now completely enraged. He knew that reasoning with them was futile unless he revealed his identity; otherwise, they wouldn't let it go. So, he decided to fight to the death.

This was a result he hadn't expected at all before coming to the Miao Miao Palace.

He had come here expecting to bring back Su Zhan's head as agreed, but he was tricked. Moreover, the Palace Lord was completely unreasonable and impossible to reason with.

If he had known it would be like this, he wouldn't have come here by himself, but now there was nothing he could do to stop the Palace Lord, so there was no need for him to say anything more.

He fought back fiercely, wanting to leave the area first.

He didn't want to perish here, and he certainly didn't want to reveal who he was or where he came from, otherwise he might not be forgiven when he returned.

Su Zhan quickly realized the other party's determination; they clearly didn't want anyone to know who they were and were very resistant.

Moreover, what the other party said beforehand was also crucial.

That is, the other party is not in control; there are others behind him.

Presumably, that person didn't want anyone to know who he was, which is why the old man resisted so desperately, showing no intention of revealing his identity.

However, this only confused Su Zhan more.

He had offended some people here, but they were all fools from the Extreme Cold Secret Realm. He didn't have the time or opportunity to offend others, and these people simply didn't have the power to retaliate against him.

So he had never been able to figure out who was secretly trying to kill him, and now he was even more puzzled.

He had absolutely no clue as to who was behind the old man.

He thought he would finally meet the real Culprit, but to his surprise, the person who came to the Miao Miao Palace was just a subordinate.

Su Zhan frowned.

If the other party is the person behind it all, then there's no need to keep them alive.

Even if you don't know who the other person is, as long as you eliminate them, everything will be resolved.
