Chapter 912 - Sect Master Sun
"How dare you barge in here and accuse us of such bullshit without any proof! Do you really think you're unstoppable?!" Sun Hao pointed his finger at Yuan and shouted so loud that his saliva sprayed.
Yuan casually dodged the saliva and said, "Proof, huh? That might be a bit difficult."
"See?! I knew it! This guy is just messing with us!" Sun Hao exclaimed.
Sect Master Li then said, "The seven of us haven't even gone anywhere near you or your friends, so where did you get the idea that we'd tried to harm them?"
"I admire your strength, but you've gone too far. Unless you have proof, nobody here will believe you." Bai Enjue sighed.
Yuan smiled and said, "I never said I don't have proof. I just said that it would be a bit difficult."
"What? You have proof?" They looked at him with wide eyes.
"Of course. Do you know of the Gu Family?" Yuan then asked.
"What does the Gu Family have to do with this?" Sun Hao immediately said.
"They're one of Seven Legacy Families. They're not even related to us." Sect Master Li said.
"You see, the Gu Family in the Lower Heavens had tried to harm my friends, so I taught them a little lesson. They didn't like that, so they asked for the Gu Family in this world to avenge them."
"What? Don't tell me that you're the reason the Gu Family dispatched over 1,000 experts…" Sect Master Xiahou mumbled out loud.
"Yes, and they had set a perimeter around the Stairway to Heaven with the intention to ambush me. However, I have never told the Gu Family about going to the Stairway to Heaven, so how did they know that I was going to be there? What a coincidence that I told you guys about my plans to challenge the Stairway to Heaven and the Gu Family found out about it shortly afterward, don't you all agree?"
"I-Is that your so-called proof?! That's just pure speculation!" Sun Hao shouted.
"Sect Master Sun is right. That is not concrete proof. What if they'd found out about it from another source?" Bai Enjue said.
"That's not possible." Yuan shook his head.
"And why do you say that?" Sect Master Li asked.
"Because Patriarch Gu personally told me about the culprit." Yuan said with a cold smile on his face as he narrowed his gaze on Sun Hao.
Seeing Yuan's cold gaze, Sun Hao immediately began sweating profusely.
'Impossible! There's no way that Patriarch Gu would sell me out! He's bluffing!' He cried inwardly.
"And who's the culprit?" Sect Master Li asked.
"The one who's been the loudest since my arrival." Yuan replied.
Everybody there turned to look at Sun Hao, who was soaked in cold sweat as of this moment.
"Sect Master Sun, please tell me that you didn't—" Sect Master Xiahou swallowed nervously.
Out of everyone there, Sun Hao had the most hatred for Yuan, and the other Sect Masters were aware of this even though nobody told them.
"T-That's outrageous! This is a setup! Why would Patriarch Gu even tell you such information?! That's suspicious no matter how you look at it!"
"He had no choice." Yuan calmly responded.
And he continued after releasing some killing intent, "After all, I killed ten of his Spirit Lords and crippled his little army."
"You what?!" Everybody there took a step back after hearing Yuan's words.
"A-Are you insane?! You dare attack a Legacy Family?!" Sun Hao was on the verge of pissing his pants after feeling Yuan's killing intent and hearing about what he did to the Gu Family.
"They were the ones who threatened to harm my friends first. Did you think I would let them do that just because they're one of Seven Legacy Families?" Yuan scoffed.
"And this is mostly your fault, Sun Hao. If you hadn't told the Gu Family about my plans, they wouldn't know where to find me, and I would've left this world without ever meeting them. In other words, I wouldn't have needed to harm them."
Sun Hao suddenly started laughing in a chilling manner, "You're doomed! You're fucking dead! No matter who's at fault here, it doesn't change the fact that you'd attacked the Gu Family! Once the other Legacy Families hear of this, they will also hunt you down! Even if you kill me here today, you're still a dead man! Ahahaha!"
"I don't think that will happen. After all, the Gu Family admitted that they were in the wrong and that they won't pursue the matter any further." Yuan said.
"W-What? I-Impossible!" Sun Hao nearly choked after hearing such information.
"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not. You'll be dead very soon, anyway."
Yuan retrieved the Empyrean Overlord the next second and pointed it at Sun Hao.
"W-Wait! Why don't we all calm down and talk about this?" Sect Master Li stepped forward and said in a nervous voice.
Yuan narrowed his eyes at Sect Master Li, "Talk? We had our talk the last time. Do you really think I am a pushover?"
Sect Master Li sighed, "Even if Sect Master Sun had given information to the Gu Family, he didn't directly harm you or your friends. It was the Gu Family that made such a decision."
"So he did nothing wrong even though he helped someone to harm me, huh? As if I—"
"Die, you little bastard!"
In the middle of Yuan's sentence, Sun Hao suddenly retrieved a long black needle and plunged it at Yuan.
"You—!" The other Sect Masters were shocked and couldn't react in time.
Ding!
However, the needle suddenly stopped in front of Yuan's chest, and no matter how much force Sun Hao put into it, the needle wouldn't move forward.
"W-What's going on?! This is a Divine-grade treasure!" Sun Hao was left confused by the result.
Yuan looked at Sun Hao with an indifferent expression on his face and said, "Treasures below Ancient-grade won't penetrate my Invisible Dragon Cloak's defenses, especially if it's a physical attack."
"Now, die."
Right as Yuan prepared to slice Sun Hao with his sword, a voice resounded in his head, "Allow me to get rid of this trash for you, Young Master."
A small flame suddenly shot out of Yuan's body and attached itself onto Sun Hao's body before it quickly erupted into a massive fire, turning Sun Hao into a burnt corpse within seconds.
'Feng Feng? Why did you...' Yuan looked at Sun Hao's burnt corpse with wide eyes.
