"You won't let me go... is that it?"
A chilling aura seemed to flow from Wu Tian's eyes.
He gripped Hu Gaoshan by the neck, walking step by step towards the edge of the platform.
At this moment, Hu Gaoshan was effectively dangling in the air.
He was utterly terrified, his legs flailing uncontrollably in the void as he shouted, "What... what are you doing? Let me go!"
Wu Tian said coldly, "Isn't it obvious what I intend to do?"
"I've told you, someone like you is not fit to be the sect leader."
"So, die now. I will find a suitable person to take your place as sect leader."
Hu Gaoshan's face had lost all color.
If it weren't for his considerable internal energy, he would likely have soiled himself by now.
He stammered in panic, "Wu Tian! Don't be so arrogant!"
"Our Flying Heaven Sect is not to be trifled with! If you do this, our Flying Heaven Sect will absolutely not let you off!"
Faced with Hu Gaoshan's threat, Wu Tian's heart remained unmoved.
He said indifferently, "Flying Heaven Sect? What a joke. Do you think I care about it?"
"Let alone you, even destroying your entire Flying Heaven Sect would be as easy as flipping my hand."
"Do you really think that your position as the leader of the Flying Heaven Sect holds any weight in my eyes?"
"Your Five Sects and Six Teachings are nothing more than a rabble in my sight. If I hadn't promised Su Qiannai, I wouldn't have come to this wretched place for a trial."
"In other words, if Su Qiannai's condition was for me to annihilate all of your Five Sects and Six Teachings, I wouldn't hesitate to do so."
"After all, you are at best martial arts experts. In front of me, a seventh-level spiritual cultivator, do you think you can still make a fuss?"
"What did you say?!" Hearing Wu Tian's words, Hu Gaoshan's voice distorted in fear.
"You are... a seventh-level spiritual cultivator?!"
Wu Tian's tone was devoid of any warmth, "Otherwise?"
"Therefore, your so-called trial is nothing more than child's play to me. Did you really think it could trouble me?"
Looking at Wu Tian, Hu Gaoshan realized that Wu Tian was not lying at all.
No wonder he had agreed to all those unreasonable demands Wu Tian had made!
So, in the end, he possessed absolute strength!
A profound sense of dread instantly engulfed Hu Gaoshan's heart.
Only now did he realize how naive he had been!
He had actually thought of toying with Wu Tian?
It was utterly laughable! He was a seventh-level spiritual cultivator, and without exaggeration, a single sneeze from him could send them to their graves!
It was truly because Wu Tian had a good temper that he had played along with them for so long!
If it were someone else with a bad temper, their current words and actions would have led to them dying a dozen times over!
At this moment, Hu Gaoshan's psyche completely collapsed.
He was helpless and dared not show any further disrespect to Wu Tian. He quickly said, "I was wrong! I know I was wrong!"
"I shouldn't have played so many tricks on you, it was all my fault."
"Please give me a chance and forgive me. I promise I will never do this again, I swear!"
Seeing that Wu Tian remained silent, Hu Gaoshan hurriedly cursed at Hu Kai, "You unfilial son, what are you standing there for?!"
"This is all the trouble you've caused, why don't you quickly apologize to Sect Leader Wu!"
Only then did Hu Kai finally react.
He walked tremblingly towards Wu Tian, his cheeks twitching as he said, "Sect Leader Wu, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong!"
"I shouldn't have offended you, please spare us, I apologize!"
Wu Tian glanced at him coldly and said, "Is this how you apologize?"
Hu Kai did not understand Wu Tian's meaning and was still somewhat dazed.
But Hu Gaoshan knew what Wu Tian meant, so he quickly shouted, "You damn fool, why aren't you kowtowing to Sect Leader Wu!"
"Ah?" Hearing Hu Gaoshan's words, Hu Kai hesitated.
"Kowtow? Isn't that a bit much?"
Hu Gaoshan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He cursed, "What are you still thinking about? Don't you know the situation? You're going to get me killed!"
"Kneel! Hurry up and kneel!"
"Otherwise, I'll break your legs!"
Under Hu Gaoshan's furious reprimand, Hu Kai's mind was completely blank.
He was helpless and could only obediently kneel before Wu Tian and kowtow, saying, "Sect Leader Wu, I kowtow to you. Please release my father!"
At this moment, his heart was filled with regret.
Why did he have to provoke Wu Tian for no reason? Now he had lost all his dignity!
After Hu Kai knelt, Hu Gaoshan said obsequiously, "Uh... Sect Leader Wu, my son has already kowtowed and apologized to you. Can you let me go now?"
Wu Tian did not answer him. With a casual flick of his wrist, he immediately flung Hu Gaoshan back onto the platform.
Hu Gaoshan barely managed to steady himself.
But when he met Wu Tian's gaze, upon encountering Wu Tian's icy stare, he immediately shivered, then also knelt down and said, "Thank you, Sect Leader Wu, for sparing my life!"
Seeing the father and son, who had been so arrogant moments ago, now as docile as chicks, Wu Tian couldn't help but shake his head.
Why was this necessary? If they had been honest from the beginning, would this scene have unfolded?
He looked at Hu Gaoshan and said, "Hu Gaoshan, I hope you understand that while your Flying Heaven Sect is one of the Five Sects and Six Teachings, that is not a capital for your arrogance."
"If I ever find your son using the name of the Flying Heaven Sect to act recklessly and bully others again, then be careful, I won't be polite to your Flying Heaven Sect!"
Hu Gaoshan hurriedly nodded and said, "I understand, I understand. Sect Leader Wu, please rest assured, I will strengthen my supervision in the future to ensure that no one from the Flying Heaven Sect causes such problems again!"
"If anyone dares to act recklessly again, you won't have to do it yourself, I will punish them severely!"
Wu Tian nodded and said, "Alright, if that's the case, then hand over the proof of clearance."
"I don't want to stay in a place like yours for another minute."
Upon hearing this, Hu Gaoshan felt an immediate sense of relief.
Earlier, he had intended to keep Wu Tian here and teach him a lesson, but now he dared not think of such a thing.
In his eyes, Wu Tian was now a demon!
And who would want a demon to stay in their home?
