During that moment, Xue An slowly began to smile.
But within that smile, there was a chilling intent to kill. "Submit to you? Haha! What makes you think... you are worthy?"
Silence!
The quietude of death.
People stared at Xue An in disbelief, unable to trust their own ears.
To speak to the curse goddess in such a tone was beyond audacious.
It was practically courting death!
As expected.
The smile gradually faded from the face of the curse goddess, replaced by an icy frost.
"Young man, I assume you must also be a disciple of some noble family in the outside world! Did your elders not teach you to respect the stronger ones when you left home to gain experience?"
Xue An shook his head and said indifferently, "You are mistaken. In this world, no one is qualified to teach me what to do!"
At this, many people burst into mocking laughter out of sheer anger.
"What utter nonsense!"
"How can he even say such things?"
Especially the curse goddess, who after a moment of astonishment, let out a cold laugh.
"Now I understand, you are not arrogant, but purely a madman!"
With that, the curse goddess glanced at Qi Hongbo in the distance and said lightly, "Young Master Qi, your good friends all died by this young man’s hand. From now on, he’s your responsibility! Don’t worry about anything, let the bloodshed add some color to my ceremony!"
Qi Hongbo smiled upon hearing this, then bowed his head slightly. "As you wish, divine highness!"
After saying this, he turned his head and coldly stared at Xue An.
"Mr. Xue, if it hadn’t been for Miss Yan Lan persuading me on the Jade Banquet Pavilion, do you think you would still be alive?"
Standing calmly, Xue An replied, "I told you all back then, to leave immediately if you wanted to save your lives. It seems, however, that none of you listened."
"Heh, ridiculous! I am the proud Young Master of the Heavenly Fire Divine Clan. You think just a few words from you could make me leave? Do you really think you have that much influence?" Qi Hongbo said, scoffing.
But while he was conversing with Xue An, Bai Chong, who was initially standing behind him, was slowly retreating unnoticed by anyone.
When he reached the crowd, Bai Chong gradually became fainter, eventually blending into the air and disappearing.
From beginning to end, no one noticed his actions.
Only Zhong Anan from the Taiyin Deity Clan seemed to sense something, as she turned her head slightly and then quickly understood.
The very reason Qi was conversing with Xue An, seemingly questioning him, was in fact to divert Xue An’s attention, allowing Bai Chong the chance to launch a surprise attack.
The Ancient Sword Divine Clan was renowned for its swordsmanship.
With Bai Chong as its disciple, his swordsmanship was formidable.
If he got close without being detected and suddenly attacked, even the ancient powerful ones would struggle to fend him off.
Thinking of this, a hint of seriousness flashed in Zhong Anan’s eyes, and she quietly looked at Xue An.
Although Xue An had been killing several people since he arrived.
Zhong Anan still had a favorable impression of Xue An.
Because those who died by Xue An’s hand were immensely evil.
Like the power from Divine Temple, like Ji Haoqiong!
Their crimes were beyond simple description.
Thus, Zhong Anan even subconsciously worried for Xue An.
At that moment,
Qi Hongbo noticed an extremely subtle, almost imperceptible disturbance in the air not far behind Xue An.
Qi Hongbo knew Bai Chong was in position and couldn’t help feeling victorious, then sneered sinisterly.
"Mr. Xue, whatever you say is in vain. Since you’ve made bold claims that everyone here will pay a blood price, you must first defeat me!"
