Above all spirits

Chapter 337 An Unspoken Understanding

Gu Yun accepted the ring without ceremony, but didn't look at what was inside. He didn't raise the price either. It was as if the two had already agreed on it beforehand. Their actions were swift and decisive, like a silent agreement. Now it was just a handover process. They tacitly settled the matter in a few words.

Seeing this, Hua Qiandao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and felt even more appreciative of Gu Yun.

Gu Yun's actions were clearly just a way to save face.

He can't just release them without doing anything.

Although the cultivation resources inside the ring were considerable, that was only for one person. Compared to the entire Hundred Flowers Sect, and compared to Hua Qinxuan, a pseudo-innate expert with imperial will, it was still somewhat lacking in prestige.

no way.

It should be noted that the elders of the Hundred Flowers Sect never intended to exchange resources for people in the first place, but rather to forcibly take them back. But would it be easy to snatch people from the Heavenly Demon?

Yang Tianxiao has already turned back, so what benefit can you possibly gain by going alone?

At the same time, although the Heavenly Demons are enemies of the human race, if there is no interest involved, what is there to say about being enemies or not? In addition, it was indeed our side that made the first move.

If you want to kill someone, it's no big deal if you're outmatched and get killed in return. If you can save your life, it's perfectly reasonable to spend some money to save it.

Without saying a word, Gu Yun took out the Spirit-Sealing Lock and activated it to unlock it.

The Spirit Sealing Lock floated in the center of the hall under Gu Yun's control, making clicking sounds, as if an invisible hand was unlocking it.

Hua Qiandao looked at this peculiar spiritual treasure with great interest.

Even he hadn't seen many spiritual treasures like this.

At the very moment the last shackle was removed.

A flash of pink sword light suddenly appeared, swiftly pointing directly at Gu Yun.

The sword light was so fast that it was almost impossible for anyone to react, and a strong killing intent filled the air.

Gu Yun narrowed his eyes, glanced at Hua Qiandao beside him, and finally chose not to make a move. Instead, he picked up the teacup that had been brewed on the small table between the two chairs and took a leisurely sip.

His expression remained calm and composed, as if all of this were just a dream.

Now that he had reached a consensus with Hua Qiandao, Gu Yun believed that Hua Qiandao would naturally handle these minor matters for him.

However, the main reason is that Gu Yun is indeed unable to take action at this moment.

Otherwise, he wouldn't mind teaching Hua Qinxuan another lesson.

Anger is understandable.

But to knowingly be outmatched and still choose to fight is one thing, but to actually attack on the spot is clearly mindless.

"Disperse!"

Hua Qiandao let out a shout.

The sword light seemed to be suppressed in an instant and dissipated instantly.

Gu Yun was somewhat curious as he savored the move she had just made. Hua Qinxuan's movements were fast, but not so fast that Gu Yun couldn't see them clearly. The sword she used to stab him was undoubtedly full of power and imbued with the Emperor's will.

Hua Qiandao, too, clearly used the Emperor's Will.

This imperial will seemed to exert a kind of bloodline suppression, instantly shattering Hua Qinxuan's sword momentum.

Hundred Flowers...

What special abilities will it have?

Based on this alone, Gu Yunshang is not enough to make a judgment.

"Qinxuan, stop!"

"If you're outmatched in skill, you're lucky to have survived; don't act recklessly!"

Hua Qiandao's gaze was cold at this moment, and although his tone was not urgent, it carried a hint of pressure, making him completely different from his previous easygoing self.

Also.

If one displays a weak and docile nature, how can one support a sect?

He seems to be a two-faced person; perhaps the side he presents as the sect leader is not his true self.

Hua Qiandao sensed Gu Yun's dissatisfaction slightly. Although he knew that Gu Yun was deliberately showing it, he was undoubtedly in the wrong again.

He gave a bitter smile to himself and continued speaking.

"To act against an Emperor without my permission, do you not take the sect seriously?"

Gu Yun smiled slightly and continued to sip his tea.

"metropolitan?!"

Upon noticing the man sitting on the platform, Hua Qinxuan immediately knelt on one knee, held her sword upright in front of her, and lowered her head.

Even so, Hua Qinxuan did not give in, appearing somewhat unwilling.

It wasn't as mindless as Gu Yun thought.

Imagine someone who has been locked in a dark room for several days; what kind of calm mind could they possibly have?

This act of venting anger was inevitable.

If he hadn't been unable to defeat Gu Yun, Gu Yun would probably have been riddled with holes by the sword.

"He is a demon!"

"I received instructions from the Star Covenant..."

"presumptuous!"

Hua Qiandao rudely interrupted Hua Qinxuan's explanation.

"The Star Alliance is the Star Alliance, and the Hundred Flowers Sect is the Hundred Flowers Sect."

"The Star Alliance is just an alliance. Without my approval, who has the right to mobilize the mainstay of my Hundred Flowers Sect's fighting force!"

"Qinxuan! Do you consider yourself a member of the Hundred Flowers Sect or the Star Alliance?!"

"tell me?!"

Hua Qinxuan did not respond.

She is naturally from the Hundred Flowers Sect.

Her silence was not submission, but rather a refusal to accept.

Anyone with eyes could see that Hua Qinxuan was clearly upset about Hua Qiandao's unfair judgment and was throwing a tantrum.

Seeing this, Hua Qiandao sighed.

"Do you know why only representatives from your three families have come, and why only Yang Tianxiao, an Emperor, is here?"

"Although it's a little inappropriate to say this in front of you, Gu Yun, I'm just telling the truth."

"Qinxuan, tell me, in every battle against the Heavenly Demon, the emperors have come out in full force. Why did the Ming family only send out a pseudo-innate expert? You, don't let yourself be used as a pawn."

“Intervening in a battle between emperors carries a high risk of your own demise, while even if Yang Tianxiao himself is defeated, escaping is not a problem at all.”

"This appearance was merely a test; you could be expendable at any moment!"

"Although all three of our families have some business dealings with the demon race."

"But the relationship between the Hundred Flowers Sect and the Demon Clan is not one of those shady dealings. Even if it is severed, it will not have a significant impact on us. It will just make it a little more difficult to obtain the special products of the Demon Realm for planting flowers."

Hua Qiandao is very shrewd.

This statement both lectured Qin Xuan, showed goodwill to Gu Yun, and indirectly expressed her own needs, hoping to make further deals with Gu Yun if possible.

Gu Yun remained silent, simply drinking her tea.

"Impossible! The elders would never betray me!"

Hua Qinxuan clearly didn't believe she was a discarded pawn, and even when the sect leader said it, she immediately refuted it.

"nonsense!"

"They dare?!"

Hua Qiandao was somewhat confused by Hua Qinxuan's thought process, so he explained.

"Even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare."

“Those people stay in the sect every day and believe, based on hearsay, that the Heavenly Demon is not strong since it has just been born. That’s why they decided to send you to assist them, thinking that you are more than capable of taking down the Heavenly Demon.”

"They know nothing!"

"I have already made it clear to them that from now on, the sect's communication tokens can be used as they please, but I must give my approval for such matters."

"Sacrificing a piece is something only a chess player can define. Do you think any of those elders can actually play chess?"
