Chapter 624: Did you see it? 👀

“Chu King of Hell, this time, are you targeting my Ou Clan?” The Grand Elder said angrily, “You have such audacity!”

Chu Yang smiled lightly and replied, “Is that all you Ou Clan can say? My Heavenly Weapon Pavilion has already attacked here, and you still can’t determine that I’m the one dealing with you?”

He looked at the Grand Elder with a hint of pity, saying, “What level has your intelligence dropped to?”

“You!” The Grand Elder was enraged, his frosty white eyebrows trembling. He then took a deep breath to suppress his anger and said, “Chu King of Hell, the events of that day were due to our Ou Clan's oversight: we offended you, and now that you’ve come back for revenge, we have nothing to say. However, you’ve already killed quite a few members of our Ou Clan and breached our castle. Even if there is hatred, it should be resolved, right? Besides, you haven’t suffered any losses!”

His fish-like eyes seemed to soften as he slowly said, “Chu King of Hell, if you retreat now, I promise not to hold any grudges. From now on, we will keep to ourselves! What do you think?”

The Grand Elder's words caused a stir among the members of the Ou Clan.

They could not believe that the usually strong Grand Elder would show such weakness in front of an enemy today, which greatly damaged the Ou Clan's face.

The Grand Elder felt helpless. The opponent was only Chu King of Hell, and there were still many experts hidden in the dark. In today’s battle, the Ou Clan was truly at a disadvantage. If Chu King of Hell could retreat, it would spare them from a catastrophe. As long as they missed today, they could make Chu King of Hell suffer a fate worse than death!

Although he was showing weakness, it was a tactic to buy time! Enduring humiliation for greater strength.

Moreover, the Ancestral Patriarch had yet to show up. Even if the opponent didn’t retreat, delaying for a while until the Ancestral Patriarch appeared would increase their chances of victory!

Chu Yang chuckled, saying, “What the Grand Elder said is rather humorous; it’s really just a misunderstanding between us. Of course, once the misunderstanding is resolved, there’ll be no issue. As the saying goes, it's better to resolve enmities than to cultivate them. A friend is a path, an enemy is a wall. The word ‘endure’ is a knife; let it burn with anger: when it’s time to let go, let go; when it’s time to spare someone, spare them… Grand Elder, you truly are a wise elder!”

These words left the Grand Elder’s expression extremely vivid. The other party was setting a trap, and he was taken aback.

Chu Yang could naturally see the other party’s intentions; it was just a matter of buying time. Just as it happened, Chu Yang needed to buy time himself, and they became partners in crime.

The Grand Elder could only buy time until the Ou Clan's Ancestral Patriarch appeared, while Chu Yang already had countermeasures in place. Gu Duxing was on high alert, and even if that old fellow came out, it wouldn’t be of much use.

As for any other support, the Ou Clan definitely had no other reinforcements or power left. Chu Yang was not afraid at all!

However, he was buying time because of the great fire he had set. Two hundred experts had rushed out from the raging flames; those with cold-type vital energy were somewhat fine, but about seventy or eighty throne experts had varying degrees of burns.

He had ignited so much fire oil, and the temperature at that moment was almost comparable to lava…

Although everyone had rushed in with injuries, facing so many enemies would undoubtedly affect their strength and lead to unnecessary casualties.

The Grand Elder had no idea about this.

The Grand Elder wanted to buy time, and Chu Yang naturally intended to use it. Right now, Gu Duxing and the others were melting three incomplete versions of the ninefold pill in a large bowl of vitality spring. The injured and burned people were drinking it one by one… they had to hurry up and heal.
