"Are you a match for the Holy Son of Divine Illumination with just the few of you?"
The Great Master of Tian Gong from Blood Yang Mansion, Ben Huarong, immediately showed a mocking expression upon hearing this.
"You all are overestimating yourselves. That Holy Son of Divine Illumination is the reincarnation of the 78th generation leader of the Divine Illumination Sect. He has already inherited his legacy and surpassed the Ruler Realm. For a group like yours, charging forward would only be delivering yourself to death."
The Great Master of Tian Gong from Tianshan Mansion, Zhao Lianghan, also sneered.
"That's right, Zhou Wusheng. Don’t blame me for not reminding you. Seeking out that Holy Son of Divine Illumination is courting death. Moreover, we entered the trial ground not to kill and cause trouble, but to improve ourselves. So if you want to go, just go by yourselves. We don’t need your help here because our Tian Gong holds a distinguished position and doesn’t require teaming up with outsiders. Being with the people from Guanghan Mansion, Tianyan Sect, and Minghui Pavilion is simply embarrassing for us Tian Gong."
The Great Master of Tian Gong from Ren Wang Mansion, Chi Wenmin, disdainfully remarked, looking down on Zhou Wusheng and his group.
While the three of them spoke, they were also engaged in battle with the Talu beast, surprisingly managing to multitask with ease.
Zhou Wusheng’s expression, which had initially been somewhat pleasant, turned ugly upon hearing their words. Although he was also a Great Master of Tian Gong, the condescending tone of the other party made him feel disregarded.
Even Wei Siqing, Qu Gaofeng, and Quan Muliu, standing nearby, had unsightly expressions. This group of Tian Gong Holy Sons was too arrogant and too overbearing.
However, this was a family matter for Tian Gong, and they couldn't be bothered to intervene; everything was up to Zhou Wusheng and Qin Chen.
Zhou Wusheng’s expression also turned grim as he coldly said, “Since several of you are not interested, we will take our leave.”
He initially wanted to pull them in to help slay the strange beasts and then work together to deal with the Holy Son of Divine Illumination. However, after hearing such words, his anger naturally flared up. Nevertheless, he had deep cultivation and did not show his anger on his face, choosing not to express his dissatisfaction directly. Different paths lead to different fates, and he turned to leave.
“Brother Zhou, that’s a top-quality Holy Vein of Heaven Saint. Are we just going to leave like this?”
Wei Siqing, Qu Gaofeng, and the others couldn’t help but ask, looking towards Qin Chen.
Zhou Wusheng's heart skipped a beat as he hurriedly said, “Brother Qin, after all, they are from our Tian Gong. Let’s not create internal strife, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble once we’re outside. There are definitely more top-quality Holy Veins of Heaven Saint here, isn’t it unnecessary to go this far?”
Qin Chen pondered for a moment and had yet to make a decision when a cold voice came from the distance, belonging to Ben Huarong.
“Zhou Wusheng, you can leave. However, your Tian Gong from Guanghan Mansion has a Holy Son named Qin Chen, the one beside you. Leave him here! I’ve heard that this person joined your Guanghan Mansion Tian Gong not long ago, and has been arrogant and overbearing, making even your veteran Holy Son Xiang Wudi kneel. He even caused one of your diligent elders to be demoted. This person is truly arrogant and ignorant of rank; he will only bring trouble, and sooner or later, he will lead your Guanghan Mansion Tian Gong to disaster. I, as your senior brother, will teach him a lesson for you.”
Ben Huarong coldly stared at Qin Chen, while beside him, Xiang Wudi was whispering something, seemingly plotting, casting a resentful and cold gaze at Qin Chen, filled with malice.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Wusheng knew calamity was imminent.
Sure enough, he saw Qin Chen's expression darken, the mocking intent in his eyes becoming evident. “Are you going to stand up for Xiang Wudi and leave this Young Master behind?
