Chapter 235 - 230: I Have a Bad Temper
Tian Yun snorted coldly and said, "Gu Zhan, what’s there for you to be arrogant about? When my big brother comes out of seclusion, you..."
"Tian Yun, enough!"
Mo Zhening, his face dark and ominous, let out a roar and said, "Gu Zhan is my honored guest. Are you continuously provoking him to disrespect me?"
At this moment, Tian Ji, the Patriarch of the Tian Family, also dashed over, pressing Tian Yun into the chair and cupping his fists toward Gu Zhan, saying, "Lord Gu, I apologize for any offense. On another day, the Tian Family will definitely come to offer our apologies!"
Mo Zhening hurriedly pulled Gu Zhan to sit down, saying, "Brother Gu, I’m truly sorry. Don’t stoop to his level. We have more important matters. After this, I will surely force him to apologize to you."
Gu Zhan sneered dismissively and sat back down.
Tian Yun looked at Gu Zhan and snorted coldly.
This disturbance made the atmosphere in the hall somewhat oppressive.
Mo Zhening urgently said, "Alright, alright, we should first discuss the main matter!"
Everyone fell silent.
Mo Zhening looked at Tian Ji and said, "Brother, tell everyone about tomorrow’s plan!"
Tian Ji nodded and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, today everyone is gathered here for a matter I need not elaborate on. We all understand that this is a do-or-die deal.
Currently, in Canglan City, the Right Protector holds fort. He is a Grandmaster of the Divine Thought Realm. As long as he is in Canglan City, it’s impossible to succeed. The fourth young master has a way to lure the Right Protector out of the city, but can only delay for half an hour. If we can’t succeed within that time, it will have all been for naught."
All listened quietly.
The Beidou Bang is the overlord of Canglan Dao, but typically the Dragon King seldom appears, mainly relying on the Left and Right Protectors, both Grandmasters, to maintain their hold.
Grandmasters are beyond human capabilities to deal with,
If the Right Protector returns to Canglan City, no one will have the ability to stir up trouble or withstand the Grandmaster’s fury. Therefore, tomorrow’s battle will be brief and must be well-planned.
Tian Ji continued, "Tomorrow at the hour, the Eldest Young Master will depart from his mansion. At three quarters past the hour, he will reach the City Lord’s Mansion and enter the Xuanhu Sect. At that time, the fourth young master will seal off the Xuanhu Sect. During this half-hour, there must be no mistakes.
The fourth young master has a squad of personal guards, with one Fifth Realm, two Third Realms, one Second Realm, and three First Realms. We must kill them within an hour and put forth our full effort, but this presents a problem."
Tian Ji glanced at everyone and said, "We all entered the city without much manpower to avoid alarming the enemy. Completing this within half an hour isn’t easy. However, the Eldest Young Master’s mansion is only a quarter-hour away from the Xuanhu Sect.
If the Eldest Young Master senses something amiss, he will surely send a signal for aid. The fourth young master can hold off the headquarters and Elder Council, but can’t stall the help arriving from the Eldest Young Master’s mansion. We need someone to delay the reinforcements from the Eldest Young Master’s mansion."
With that, Tian Ji looked at Bai Jiu’Er.
Bai Jiu’Er furrowed her brow and said, "I don’t lack manpower, but I am confident I can stop the people from the Eldest Young Master’s mansion. However, the Eldest Young Master’s mansion has a Fifth Realm Great Cultivator from the Liu Family whom I can’t possibly stop."
At this moment,
Tian Yun suddenly spoke again, "Ha, isn’t Gu Zhan so arrogant? Let him go!"
Bai Jiu’Er slightly furrowed her brow, ignoring Tian Yun.
Gu Zhan sat in his chair, saying nothing.
Tian Ji glared at Tian Yun and looked at Bai Jiu’Er, saying, "Miss Jiu’Er, strictly speaking, you don’t need to hold for half an hour. After all, there’s distance between the Eldest Young Master’s mansion and the Xuanhu Sect. We only need three quarters of an hour, maybe even two if our handling is quick!"
Bai Jiu’Er shook her head, saying, "I still can’t be absolutely confident. I have many people, but not many experts. I can hold off everyone except the Fifth Realm Great Cultivator, even counting the experts Fourth Brother assigned to me."
Mo Zhening pondered for a moment and said, "Ninth Sister, I will additionally arrange two Third Realm Great Cultivators for you and send a squad of Heavy Armored Cavalry to ambush. Further, I’ll pull from my treasury a batch of crossbow military equipment targeting experts. You must hold them; don’t need to win, just stall for three quarters of an hour!"
Bai Jiu’Er smiled helplessly and said, "Winning is entirely impossible. Whether I can hold them or not, I will only try my best. Let’s leave it to fate. After all, even Fourth Brother over there doesn’t have absolute confidence, right?"
Mo Zhening smiled and said, "How could there be absolute confidence in such matters!"
For a while, the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.
At this moment, Tian Yun suddenly sneered again, "Everyone is busy arranging tasks. I wonder what role the renowned Gu Tianjiao is playing. Neither contributing nor exerting effort, what’s your purpose here?"
"Shut up," Tian Ji reprimanded softly.
Bai Jiu’Er glanced at Tian Yun and said, "First, Gu Zhan is my external support. It’s not Tian Family’s place to meddle. Second, without Gu Zhan, I’d be doubtful of holding even for a quarter-hour, let alone three. Unless, you want to try?"
Tian Yun sneered and said, "What would I be trying for? I’m not Tianjiao. You’re not asked to kill the Fifth Realm Great Cultivator from the Liu Family, just to stall for a little while. Ha, and the famed God of Slaughter is only so-so. If I were you, I’d quickly announce that I’m undeserving of such a title..."
Gu Zhan, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them sharply and said, "Dare to speak nonsense again and you’ll never speak again."
Tian Yun snorted and said, "Heavenly bullshit. Only showing off before us; isn’t he supposed to be the God of Slaughter..."
"Noisy!"
Gu Zhan reprimanded quietly, and in that instant,
With a "clang," the Horizontal Saber swiftly unsheathed, its blade gleamed like lightning, directly slashing toward Tian Yun.
"Stop!"
Immediately, Tian Ji, the Patriarch of the Tian Family, shouted loudly, quickly drawing his sword to block Gu Zhan’s saber.
With a thunderous clash, sparks flew and a surge swept through the hall, overturning many tables and chairs.
Tian Ji hurriedly said, "Lord Gu, calm down. You are magnanimous..."
"Bang!"
Gu Zhan suddenly kicked out, sending Tian Ji flying, crashing into a pillar.
Then swiftly, another slash.
In Tian Yun’s terrified gaze,
The blade sliced through his neck, and blood sprayed out instantly.
He hurriedly clutched his neck, his eyes widened, lips trembling trying to speak, but blood gushed forth as soon as he opened his mouth, only able to emit "woo woo woo" sounds, his eyes full of unwillingness, and he fell to the ground, blood spraying.
Gu Zhan kicked the corpse aside, his face calm, looking at the Tian Family members, slowly wiping the Horizontal Saber, and said coldly, "Sorry, I’m not his father, no obligation to spoil him,
And, I already mentioned,
My temper, is very bad!"
