Chapter 80 Wulin Alliance (2)
“……….”
The banquet hall, which had been bustling with noise, sank into silence. This was no longer a situation that Zhuge Xian could control.
Gu Yangji had called for a fight.
A late-stage cultivator from Huashan against the Martial Alliance’s Black Wind Squad Leader, Zhi Sha Hong.
“How laughable.”
Amid the stillness, Zhi Sha Hong spoke expressionlessly.
“I’ll be frank. I dislike this charade of catering to Huashan Sect’s whims. That’s why I spoke out of turn.”
“…….”
Gu Yang Ji fell silent. Yet his resolve to stand his ground was unshakable.
Zhi Sha Hong spoke again.
“I don’t want to see the Huashan Sect join the alliance. Go back.”
“What nonsense.”
Gu Yangji muttered. Yet his voice alone spread steadily throughout the banquet hall.
In a way, it sounded like a resolution.
He would not accept it as a slip of the tongue. Therefore, he would demand an apology through a fair duel.
It was also Gu Yangji’s roar of anger.
“They say the mouth is the gate of calamity, the tongue a blade that cuts the body.”
“So you intend to punish me?”
“If necessary.”
Gu Yangji moved his left hand to the scabbard of his sword. He was prepared to respond the moment the unavoidable moment came.
Zhuge Xian and the other Martial Alliance members watched with complex expressions.
Opinions were divided.
‘The Plum Blossom Sword Hero is the pride of Huashan, a blade that knows no mercy… As expected, he won’t tolerate an insult to his sect!’
‘Even so, to fight right in the middle of the Martial Alliance? Tsk, isn’t that a bit reckless!’
