"Your Majesty, I heard that you have some conflicts with the families of those eight bastards. How about..."
Gu Shangyun sidled up to Qian Er with a grin. Qian Er's potential and current strength were enough to make him go to such lengths to win him over.
"That's right, Your Majesty, the families of those eight bastards are truly despicable."
Gu Wenxing, who had been playing the straight man on the side, immediately put on a look of righteous indignation.
"They are despicable, and you are not?"
Qian Er put down his ornate wine glass and looked at the two with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, the originally cheerful banquet suddenly fell silent. The others glanced at each other, watching each other's reactions.
But soon, a burst of hearty laughter broke the heavy atmosphere.
"Haha, Your Majesty is right. Of course, we are not good people, but where in the world are there absolutely good people? It's all a matter of perspective. Now, we are standing with Your Majesty, so of course, we are Your Majesty's good people."
Gu Shangyun said to Qian Er with a chuckle, not caring about Qian Er's previous words at all.
"Besides, Your Majesty, haven't you used up all your trump cards? Senior Xiaoyue from the Imperial Academy is worthy of respect, but unfortunately, there is no opportunity for cooperation."
As he spoke, Gu Shangyun shook his head regretfully. At this moment, he completely revealed his fangs, looking as if he had Qian Er in his grasp.
"Ha? Hahaha, Clan Leader Gu, are you so sure you can devour me?"
Qian Er chuckled, playing with the wine glass in his hand.
But Gu Shangyun still had that smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to bluff. Your actions have long been watched by our people. We have even specifically analyzed your personality. If you really had confidence, you wouldn't be here engaging in such lengthy pretense with us."
Qian Er chuckled. He didn't expect that there would be capable people here. If it were according to his previous temper, he would not have said so much to these people and would have started fighting directly.
"I didn't expect that your dilapidated place still has capable people."
Leaning back in his chair, Qian Er said in a sarcastic tone.
But the others did not show any anger and still had that smile on their faces, as if they had him cornered.
"Are you so sure that I only have one path to take, which is to cooperate with you? Can you few be my opponents?"
Gu Shangyun shook his head while making strange noises.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it seems that Your Majesty, you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Just right, let you see the final result of our planning for so many years, to show our sincerity in wanting to cooperate with you."
As he spoke, Gu Shangyun clapped his hands. In an instant, Qian Er keenly sensed that the world seemed to have changed.
Countless malicious intentions turned into the main theme of this world. Qian Er felt as if he were riding in a canoe sailing in a sea of malice. In the next moment, an unspeakable behemoth swam past beneath him.
Qian Er immediately lowered his head and saw a luminous galaxy slowly wriggling underground.
Insect Sovereign!
It's here!
No wonder these people are so fearless.
However, Qian Er could clearly feel that the Insect Sovereign's condition was not good. A hideous wound almost cut it in half. This was left by Senior Xiaoyue. It seemed that its special defense ability had not broken through to demigod, and it was still at the peak level of a True King. This made Qian Er breathe a sigh of relief.
As long as Senior Xiaoyue could effectively strike it, that would be good.
"Have you seen it, Your Majesty? The Insect Sovereign is here. This is also our confidence in daring to walk with the tiger."
Gu Shangyun said with a chuckle, but the expression on his face gradually became presumptuous.
Qian Er was silent. After a while, he suddenly retracted all his spirit beasts.
Seeing this bear-tiger tie its own hands, the others finally revealed victorious smiles on their faces.
Perennially trapped underground, their hearts had long been twisted. They yearned to defeat geniuses, especially the geniuses on the ground.
And Qian Er was not only the strongest genius on the ground but also a strongman, a quasi-king level strongman, whose true combat power could even rival a True King, which was simply incomparable to them.
But such a genius tied his own hands in front of them. This sense of conquest made them intoxicated, just like drinking a cup of aged wine, so comfortable.
"Hehe."
But at this moment, they saw Qian Er suddenly smile.
"Does Your Majesty have anything else to say?"
Gu Shangyun walked up and asked with a smile.
"Do you know that when I was above, I met half of the old ancestors of the eight great families, especially Qi Kunshan, the old ancestor of the Qi family. I am particularly familiar with him. Do you know what is different between him and you?"
Qian Er sat down and poured himself a drink, but the words he said made everyone here prick up their ears, especially those of the Qi family. They had always thought that Qi Kunshan was a bastard who killed his father and brother, so naturally, they wanted to know how others viewed Qi Kunshan.
"Hehe, you are far inferior to him, whether in strength, temperament, or wisdom."
Qian Er laughed loudly, but the words he said made the Qi family members turn red with anger on the spot, and the way they looked at Qian Er suddenly became unkind.
"That's right. Hiding in this dark and cramped little place all day long, what you see when you look up is the dark rock wall. Such a small place cannot nurture a broad mind."
This time, the faces of the other three families also changed. Qian Er had now launched a map attack, almost pointing at their noses and scolding them for being short-sighted.
"Qian Er!"
Gu Shangyun's face was ugly, and he called Qian Er's name for the first time, but he did not get a response from Qian Er. The last scene he saw was Qian Er taking out a silver-white leaf from his body.
In an instant, this cramped cave was illuminated by white light for the first time, and a violent explosion sounded, along with Qian Er's body being blown to pieces.
......
"What was that?!"
A group of quasi-kings who were continuing to explore in the mountains raised their heads and looked in shock at a mountain that suddenly exploded, with a white pillar of light reaching the sky.
"Is that Senior Xiaoyue again?! How much has that kid hidden?!"
Professor Huo exclaimed in a lost voice. He really believed the lie that Senior Xiaoyue could only make one move, so after asking for external help, he immediately led the remaining people to search here, trying to find the hiding place of those people and rescue Qian Er.
He believed that Qian Er's wisdom and caution would prevent anything from happening, but it would be good to find it sooner. Who would do such a stupid thing as putting their own hope in the enemy's base camp?
But he didn't expect that before they could find the place, Qian Er would give him a big one.
Now it's good, no need to find it, everyone knows it's there.
"Hurry over!"
The dean, covered in injuries, with a weak breath, and emitting a stench, struggled to raise his head and shout.
He was poisoned, by the Insect Sovereign's poison. The poison was fierce, and it was not something that an ordinary True King could withstand.
In just one encounter, he was poisoned. If his spirit beast hadn't risked his life to save him, he would have really been finished there.
