Chapter 282 - Meeting the Emperor
To everyone, no matter the reason that started the conflict, things had gone completely out of control by this point and a massive battle was inevitable.
With two Scarlet Vulture guards dead, there was no way Bald Vulture was going to back down in front of everyone and would definitely ask for redress.
Otherwise, it wasn’t just him; the entire Scarlet Vulture guards would suffer in reputation in the capital after today.
The bearded man’s attitude right now was just adding fuel to the fire.
There was even less reason for Bald Vulture and the Scarlet Vulture guards to back down.
In reality, unlike what everyone thought, Bald Vulture was in a predicament and could neither advance nor retreat.
“How did Mu Dongqing get his hands on a supreme-grade spirit weapon? Damn it!”
Bald Vulture cursed internally and an imperceptible look of caution flashed in his eyes.
Su Zimo’s expression was calm as he replied indifferently without fear, “Don’t be too sure just yet.”
The bearded man, Su Zimo and Bald Vulture moved towards the palace and soon disappeared in front of everyone.
“If they meet the emperor, it’ll be difficult for that green-robed cultivator to avoid death. If the commander of the Azure Falcon guards wishes to protect that person, he’ll be implicated too.”
“Yes, while both sides are commanders of the city’s guard squads, one side has the backing of True Fire Sect. If the many elders and Perfected Beings of True Fire Sect were to come forth and exert pressure, even the emperor will have to give some face.”
“That’s right, there’s no way the emperor is going to offend True Fire Sect for a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Fufu, not everyone is like Mr. Mo who can win against True Fire Sect.”
The crowd did not disperse and continued discussing amongst themselves.
…
“Mu Dongqing, where did you obtain that supreme-grade spirit weapon?”
On the way, Bald Vulture asked in a seemingly casual manner.
The bearded man said nothing.
A cold glint flashed in Bald Vulture’s eyes as he said darkly, “There hasn’t been any supreme-grade spirit weapons on auction in Sky Treasure Auction House recently. Furthermore, your supreme-grade spirit weapon is a hammer that’s compatible with you. It’s as though someone had customized it for you!”
Pausing for a moment, Bald Vulture said slowly, “That hammer was customized for you by Mr. Mo, right?”
“So what if it is? So what if it isn’t?” The bearded man turned around and asked with a fake smile.
Bald Vulture declared proudly, “If you can help recommend and have Mr. Mo customize a supreme-grade spirit weapon for me too, I’ll let you off for today’s matters. Mu Dongqing, you’ve got no chance of winning today!”
As soon as he finished his sentence, Bald Vulture felt something and turned his head only to see Su Zimo staring at him with a strange expression, seemingly mocking him.
That gaze made Bald Vulture feel disgusted.
He laughed sinisterly. “Kid, once you’re in my hands, the first thing I’ll do is to dig your eyeballs out so that you can have your fill of looking at me!”
Upon hearing that, Su Zimo chuckled softly. “Interesting.”
