Wanyan Chixiong had no choice but to stop confronting Dong Tianjiang. He nodded bitterly at him and said, "I will never let this matter rest!" Although Great Yong had already promised him an answer, seeing Dong Tianjiang still standing there unharmed made fury blaze in his heart. He knew, however, that Dong Tianjiang had powerful connections. Even so, if he could not destroy him this time, he would at least peel a layer of skin off the bastard. Otherwise, he could never swallow the anger lodged in his chest.
Watching Wanyan Chixiong walk away, Hu Xiaotian sighed. "That Hu dog really did come here with ill intentions."
Dong Tianjiang clenched his fists. He had lost twelve brothers in the battle at the Red Mountain Guildhall, and his heart was heavy with frustration. For the sake of the bigger picture, the Imperial Court currently intended to apologize to Black Hu and offer compensation. But Wanyan Chixiong pressed them relentlessly, demanding that Dong Tianjiang kneel and offer incense before the spirit tablets of his dead men. How could Dong Tianjiang agree to such a monstrous humiliation?
Hu Xiaotian said, "I clearly saw the Man in Blue enter the Red Mountain Guildhall that night."
Dong Tianjiang said, "So did I, but we found nothing when we searched the guildhall."
Hu Xiaotian said, "Perhaps there are places in the Red Mountain Guildhall we missed."
Dong Tianjiang turned toward Hu Xiaotian, his gaze full of questions.
Hu Xiaotian said, "General Dong, do you want to get to the bottom of this?" Recovering the Ice-Spirit Soul-Calming Pearl meant infiltrating the Red Mountain Guildhall. With no helpers left at his side, Hu Xiaotian could only seek outside assistance. On the matter of the guildhall, he and Dong Tianjiang shared a common enemy and the same goal.
