Dao Zhengzhi and the others were also shocked and dared not move.
“Tianshan Mansion’s Tong Hu?
I kindly saved you before, slaying the Dark Violent Flood Dragon Clan leader and helping you escape. Otherwise, this group of Strange Beasts would have caused you severe losses. Yet, you people from Tianshan Mansion not only show no gratitude but instead attack me. What is your intention?”
After Qin Chen repelled Tong Hu, he did not attack but radiated a cold aura, looking at the group of Holy Sons from Tianshan Mansion: “Repaying kindness with enmity?
Is this the principle of your Tianshan Mansion?”
“What do you mean by repaying kindness with enmity?”
Tong Hu took a deep breath to stabilize his internal energy and angrily said, “If it were not for you robbing the Holy Vein of the Dark Violent Flood Dragon, would we have been besieged by that Dark Violent Flood Dragon leader?
The calamity arose because of you; it also perished because of you.
What kind of savior are you?”
“Is that so?”
Qin Chen’s expression turned cold: “Let me ask you, if it weren’t for me, would you have been injured? Would any disciples have fallen?”
“This… indeed could happen.”
Tong Hu's face was unsightly.
“Then let me ask you again, if it weren’t for me, when you attacked the lair of the Dark Violent Flood Dragon, would they have chased after you?”
Qin Chen asked again.
“This…” Tong Hu fell silent.
“Hmph, can’t say anything now, can you?
When I went to the lair of the Dark Violent Flood Dragon, you had already engaged with the Dark Violent Flood Dragon Clan. This means that regardless of my presence, you would have been pursued by them. How can this blame fall on me?”
“But the Holy Vein of the Dark Violent Flood Dragon was indeed robbed by you.”
Tong Hu retorted angrily.
“Ha ha, this is where you are wrong. Treasures belong to those who can obtain them. All of us are competing for treasures; whoever can seize them is naturally the winner. Can you say that the Holy Vein can only be taken by you and not by me?
You confuse right and wrong, turning black into white, simply because you people from Tianshan Mansion do not understand principles and do not know how to be grateful.”
Qin Chen coldly said, “Originally, I wouldn’t have cared if you didn’t understand gratitude, but you attacked me earlier. This is repaying kindness with enmity. How can I let you go easily?”
Boom! Cold light surged in Qin Chen's eyes, and an ancient aura surrounded him, resembling a demonic god.
Tong Hu couldn’t say a word, his face alternating between red and white.
No matter what, Qin Chen did save them; this point could not be changed.
“Senior Brother, this is the territory of Guanghan Mansion. Don’t you see that Wei Siqing of Guanghan Palace hasn’t moved at all? If this continues, we will suffer losses. Instead, we might as well admit defeat and leave quickly.”
At this moment, some disciples from Tianshan Mansion secretly transmitted messages to Tong Hu.
They were all frightened by Qin Chen's fierce demeanor.
“Qin Chen, our Tianshan Mansion does not wish to oppose you.”
A female disciple from Tianshan Mansion stepped forward: “Senior saved us, and we are very grateful. We are willing to offer you enough compensation. Say, what kind of compensation do you want?
How many Holy Veins?”
“How many Holy Veins?
Do you think I lack Holy Veins?”
Qin Chen sneered.
“Then do you really have to kill us?”
That female disciple looked at Qin Chen with her chest held high: “You are also a powerful figure. Our Tianshan Mansion and Guanghan Mansion have always kept to ourselves and wouldn’t engage in such murderous pillaging.
If you truly want to kill us, then we will fight to the death with you. Master Sister Wei Siqing, Senior Brother Zhou Wusheng, you are the leaders of Guanghan Mansion. What do you say?”
This female Holy Son indeed had a bit of spirit.
“Junior Brother Qin, how do you plan to handle this matter?
Tianshan Mansion and our Guanghan Mansion indeed have no enmities. If you escalate the conflict, do you intend to kill them all?
