The elders present were startled, finding it incredible that Chu Yunju would speak in such a manner, as if the lives of these people were mere playthings in his eyes.
Concurrently, Gui Ying and the others emerged from the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, their spirits dampened. Gui Ying had wished to share a drink with the Hundred Flowers Fairy but had no opportunity.
"To think that the dignified Killing Saint would be so infatuated by a woman. If Master were to know, he would surely reprimand you!"牡丹 said coldly, her expression displeased.
"As long as the mission is completed satisfactorily, Master will not blame me!" Gui Ying chuckled, "Besides, would you all report me to Master!"
"We naturally would not!" Lu Fan smiled faintly, "However, today's events are perhaps not as simple as Senior Brother imagines!"
As soon as the words fell, an elder from not far away strode forward, looking towards Gui Ying.
"It's you?" Gui Ying glanced at him, his expression turning unfriendly, "What, did your master send you?"
"In the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, you claimed to be from the Assassin Dynasty. My Holy Son harbors considerable suspicion, so he sent me to test you!" the elder stated directly, showing no reservation. As someone from the Profound Light Holy Land, he naturally possessed a certain confidence.
"Quite the bold words!" Gui Ying said coldly, "If he wishes to test me, why doesn't he come himself instead of sending an unknown person like you!"
The elder's expression was indifferent, but he sneered, "Who is my Holy Son? How could he appear so easily? Today, if you are indeed from the Assassin Dynasty, we naturally won't trouble you. But if not, you might very well perish here!"
With these words, Gui Ying let out a cold laugh. He had not expected Chu Yunju to be so afraid of death, wanting to deal with him but not daring to act personally, only sending his subordinate to probe.
Not far from the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, many people were watching, their anticipation palpable. Both the elder and Gui Ying and his companions understood what was happening. It was not convenient to make a move within the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, but now that they were outside, it was unlikely anyone would hold back.
"Peony, if I kill him, it shouldn't violate the Dynasty's rules, right?" Gui Ying shrugged his shoulders, a cold smile playing on his lips.
"Naturally. If someone provokes you, killing them is upholding the Dynasty's dignity," Peony nodded, a faint smile appearing, as if all of this was insignificant in her eyes.
"That's good!" Gui Ying immediately sneered, his expression full of meaning. He then looked at the elder, "You wanted to test me, didn't you? Then make your move!"
"You want to kill me?" The elder's brows furrowed, his expression instantly turning cold as he stared directly at Gui Ying.
"Since I've decided to act, how can I let you live!" Gui Ying shrugged, "Wouldn't that be disrespectful to the Assassin Dynasty!"
The elder's face turned ashen, yet he hesitated to make a move. After all, he did not know Gui Ying's strength. If he were to attack, he might not survive.
"What, are you scared?" Seeing the elder's expression, Gui Ying sneered, "If you're scared, then scram quickly, lest I have to do it myself!"
The elder forced a bitter smile. Even though he was afraid, he had to act. Otherwise, how could he report back to Chu Yunju.
On the city wall, Chu Yunju stood tall, his eyes narrowed. He wanted to see if Gui Ying truly possessed the strength of an Assassin Dynasty killer. Meanwhile, on the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, the Hundred Flowers Fairy watched the scene with a calm expression, sipping the wine in her cup, appearing somewhat elegant.
"Sister, you are truly a beauty that causes trouble. You've managed to make them go to such lengths. No wonder you're a once-in-a-century genius of our Hundred Flowers Valley!" Hehe said softly, "If only I had such charm. Then I could become the top courtesan of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion and earn more spiritual energy for the Hundred Flowers Valley!"
"Being the top courtesan of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion is not that easy," the Hundred Flowers Fairy smiled, "You need to understand human relationships and constantly be coveted. That feeling is not good."
"To be coveted means you have great charm. I wish I were like that, but my strength is insufficient, and my looks are not enough either," Hehe revealed a bitter expression.
"You haven't fully grown yet. When you truly mature, you will naturally understand these things," the Hundred Flowers Fairy waved her hand, her words carrying a deeper meaning.
At that moment, Gui Ying had already made his move, striding towards the elder. Since he had decided to act, he would not back down. In that instant, the elder's throat was seized by him, rendering him unable to move, his eyes filled with fear.
Seeing this from the city wall, Chu Yunju's expression turned grim. He had not expected Gui Ying to be so powerful. That elder was a Saint, and while not outstanding, he was by no means someone so easily captured. Gui Ying's ability to achieve this was enough to demonstrate his formidable strength.
Meanwhile, within the city, the crowd was also slightly surprised, their doubts about Gui Ying's strength dispelled.
"I am from the Profound Light Holy Land, you cannot kill me!" the elder exclaimed in terror, his words filled with dread. Gui Ying's aura was powerful and permeated with killing intent. If he truly intended to kill him, the elder truly had no power to resist.
"Actually, I didn't want to touch you!" Gui Ying shrugged, "It's a pity you are too ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. Since I have made my move today, how can you possibly survive." Su Dan Novel Network
With these words, Gui Ying's aura surged. He was prepared to let this Saint meet a tragic end.
Witnessing this scene, Chu Yunju leaped down abruptly, "He is from my Profound Light Holy Land. I sent him to test you. Since you are from the Assassin Dynasty, the Profound Light Holy Land will naturally not offend you. Why not release him directly and avoid escalating the matter!"
"What, now you're scared after knowing I'm from the Assassin Dynasty?" Gui Ying said coldly, "Do you really think people from the Assassin Dynasty can be bullied at will?"
"I didn't mean that. If you insist on thinking so, I can't help it!" Chu Yunju smiled faintly, "However, if you kill someone from the Profound Light Holy Land, even if you are from the Assassin Dynasty, you will likely be punished. The Holy Land's authority is not to be questioned!"
"Is that so?" Gui Ying smiled faintly. In that instant, the elder in his hand instantly met his demise, without even a chance to resist, his eyes filled with shock.
Concurrently, Chu Yunju's face turned ashen. He had never expected Gui Ying to show him such little respect, even forcing him into such an awkward position.
"So what? I killed him, and what can you do about it?" Gui Ying shrugged his shoulders, a cold smile on his face.
"You are truly audacious, daring to kill even someone from the Profound Light Holy Land!" The surrounding elders were all moved.
