An uproar erupted.
At the back of the long queue, many Qiankun Sect disciples heard Qin Hao's words and burst into an uproar. None had expected him to be so bold as to tell Ma Hou to line up at the back.
"This kid is finished. Who doesn't know Ma Hou is one of Pei Jinye's men? He dared offend Ma Hou—the consequences are far beyond what he can bear." An older True God disciple shook his head, looking at Qin Hao from afar with pity.
"Exactly. Even leaving Senior Brother Pei Jinye aside, Ma Hou himself is a Heaven and Earth True God. He's extremely powerful."
"A half-step true god... looks like a new disciple. Interesting. A newcomer with such gall really doesn't know how high the heavens are or how deep the earth runs."
Many people shook their heads inwardly, watching with malicious delight. To them, Qin Hao and Gu Fengchen were doomed. The sharp-faced, monkey-cheeked Ma Hou certainly wouldn't let either of them off.
Sure enough.
Ma Hou narrowed his eyes, a chill radiating from his body. He stared coldly at Qin Hao and said in a low voice, "Kid, say that again if you have the guts."
Behind him.
Pei Jinye remained still, merely watching indifferently, as though the matter before him had nothing to do with him. Instead, his gaze settled on the spatial passage, ready to enter Sword Mound Star.
The other two beside Pei Jinye frowned slightly, but when they saw that he said nothing, they stayed where they were as well.
Qin Hao didn't even glance at Ma Hou.
Gu Fengchen paused, then withdrew his gaze too.
"Hm?"
Ma Hou froze for a moment, apparently not expecting such a response from Qin Hao. His expression instantly darkened.
Another uproar swept through
