Chapter 1041: Chapter 1026: Propelling the Red Lotus
A peculiar power appeared in Gongsun Taiyin’s palm aimed at Black Jiao. Under this power, it seemed he could sense if the other party was lying or not.
After confirming that Black Jiao had nothing to do with his son’s death, Gongsun Yuan looked up at the girl still standing proudly on the bronze chariot and said, "This is my friend; can you release him?"
Upon hearing Gongsun Taiyin’s words, the girl nodded at him and said, "You, Gongsun Taiyin, are the dominator of this Luoshan Great Wilderness. By right, everything here is as you say. Since you want this Evil Dragon, go ahead and take it."
The girl was noticeably more courteous when speaking to Gongsun Taiyin.
The tone and the look in her eyes when she gazed at him were completely different from when she looked at Shi Feng and Long Xian below.
This was a conversation between equals.
In her eyes, Shi Feng and Long Xian were merely two weaklings of the One-star Demigod Realm.
After speaking to Gongsun Taiyin, the girl’s hands moved, and with a crisp "bang," the blue chains binding Black Jiao suddenly shattered.
"Roar!" Finally regaining freedom, Black Jiao let out a mighty roar towards the sky.
"Why do I keep hearing and seeing that this aura indeed belongs to Uncle Black Jiao?" Long Xian looked up and mumbled in confusion at the Black Jiao once more.
"Gongsun Taiyin, I, Black Jiao, owe you a favor this time!" After roaring to the sky, Black Jiao lowered his head again, dragon eyes glaring at Gongsun Taiyin, and said.
Gongsun Taiyin no longer paid attention to Black Jiao. This time, he lowered his head, looking down at Shi Feng and Long Xian.
At the moment Gongsun Taiyin looked down, recalling the secret technique he used on Black Jiao earlier, Shi Feng was startled internally.
If Gongsun Taiyin used that secret technique on him, asking him the same question he asked Black Jiao earlier!
He was the one who killed Gongsun Yuan!
Then, Gongsun Taiyin’s figure flashed, and upon seeing this, Shi Feng hurriedly followed with a flash of his own.
"Hmm?" Upon seeing Shi Feng’s flash, a curious hum echoed throughout this world from Gongsun Taiyin.
"Kid, why are you running!" Gongsun Taiyin’s icy voice rang out once more.
"What happened, Shi Feng?" Seeing Shi Feng suddenly leave, Long Xian uttered in confusion.
Then, a figure flashed beside Long Xian—not Shi Feng, but a golden silhouette, which was Gongsun Taiyin.
"City Lord Gongsun, you..." Long Xian just uttered "you" when his eyes widened in shock, seeing Gongsun Taiyin reaching out to grab his throat, lifting him entirely.
"Uh uh! Uh! City Lord Gongsun, what is going on? What did I do wrong?" Gripped strongly by Gongsun Taiyin, Long Xian felt an overwhelming pressure squeezing his throat, extremely uncomfortable, making "uh uh uh" sounds, full of confusion as he asked Gongsun Taiyin.
"Gongsun Taiyin, don’t harm him! He is the son of the Dragon Clan’s Long Hou!" Seeing Gongsun Taiyin capturing Long Xian, Black Jiao hurriedly spoke up.
It seemed that Black Jiao’s relationship with the Heavenly Dragon Clan was indeed quite good. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have spoken such words to Gongsun Taiyin for Long Xian’s sake.
"Oh? Long Hou’s son?" Hearing Black Jiao say that Long Xian was the son of Long Hou, the coldness on Gongsun Taiyin’s face slightly eased.
Gongsun Taiyin was the dominator of this Luoshan Dominator; Long Hou could also be considered a dominator of a small region. Long Hou had once, on Gongsun Taiyin’s orders, done many satisfactory things for him.
Then, the hand gripping Long Xian’s neck slightly loosened, but Gongsun Taiyin’s tone still remained icy as he asked Long Xian, "Speak, have you ever seen my third son, Gongsun Yuan?"
"No... I’ve never seen the Third Young Master!" Long Xian hurriedly replied upon hearing Gongsun Taiyin’s words:
"I have seen your Eldest Young Master Gongsun Jie once in Great Wilderness City, mighty, imposing, and powerful, much like you. Second Young Lady Gongsun Mao’er is the goddess in the hearts of everyone in this Great Wilderness. I had the fortune to meet her once two years ago and still remember it vividly."
Gongsun Taiyin, using the secret technique on Long Xian’s body, confirmed from Long Xian’s words that in this lifetime, he had never seen his third son, Gongsun Yuan.
Then, he let go of Long Xian’s throat.
Once Gongsun Taiyin released his hand, Long Xian quickly rubbed his neck with his hands, coughing, "Cough cough..." bending over in coughs.
Afterward, Gongsun Taiyin turned around, his demeanor even colder than before, facing the Red Lotus Karma Fire, and said coldly, "Kid! Why are you running?"
Beside the enormous crimson lotus flame, Red Lotus Karma Fire, a figure flickered, revealing Shi Feng. Facing Gongsun Taiyin, who was looking at him coldly, Shi Feng said:
"Although the nine suns have vanished, the sweltering heat of this world remains. The Red Lotus Karma Fire exudes a chilly aura that can ward off heat and dispel summer heat!"
"Hmph! Nonsense!" Gongsun Taiyin snorted coldly, shouting coldly at Shi Feng.
Then, he coldly continued, "Speak! Was my son, Gongsun Yuan, killed by you!"
Hearing Gongsun Taiyin’s words, Shi Feng grinned, revealing a cold smile, and said, "That’s right! It was I who killed him! Your son courted death, so I sent him to his doom!" At this point, Shi Feng saw no point in hiding it further and directly admitted to Gongsun Taiyin.
Earlier, his flashing movement to avoid Gongsun Taiyin had already proven himself.
"So it was indeed you! Indeed!" Hearing Shi Feng’s confession, Gongsun Yuan coldly spat out the words, and an overwhelming killing intent began to emanate from him.
It seemed that Gongsun Taiyin had already decided to kill Shi Feng.
"What! Shi Feng! You killed the Third Young Master Gongsun Yuan!" At this moment, Long Xian exclaimed in disbelief upon hearing Shi Feng’s admission.
The Third Young Master Gongsun Yuan was the son of the dominator Gongsun Taiyin! Usually, people of this Great Wilderness would avoid him if they saw him, but he dared to kill even the Third Young Master.
Gongsun Taiyin’s golden silhouette flashed once more, and seeing this, Shi Feng, hovering beside the Red Lotus Karma Fire, hurriedly struck out his palm, sending small red lotus flowers, like raindrops, shooting forward.
Instantly, over a dozen fiery red fire lotuses, driven by Shi Feng’s formless power, shot rapidly towards the front.
Shi Feng naturally had his purpose and plan in hiding beside the Red Lotus Karma Fire.
Hmph! Gongsun Taiyin, if you wish to kill me, then I shall find a way to cripple you first!
