Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 222 - 220: Speechless and Numb

Gon Lang suppressed his rage with all his might, but beneath his sleeve, his hand was clenched so tightly it could barely loosen!

Furious to the extreme, he let out a cold laugh: "Brat, what’s done is done. Since you’ve shown up, don’t even think about escaping again!"

This time, even if he died, he would never let Xu Yang slip away before his very eyes!

Xu Yang responded coolly: "Escape? Since I dared to show up, running was never my intent!"

As he spoke, he shot a look over to Bai Song and the others.

The elders of the Bai Family exchanged glances, utterly astonished.

In such dire straits, what way did he have to break this deadlock?

Though they couldn’t fathom it, Bai Song and the others managed to compose themselves somewhat.

"You mangy bastard, facing death and you still act tough? All you have is a sharp tongue!" Zheng Qi sneered endlessly.

"I’m speaking to Vice Hall Master Gon. What right have you to interrupt?"

"Just because you’re the fourth son of King Beixuan’s Estate?"

Xu Yang fixed his gaze on him, eyes fierce as a wild beast!

"You..." Zheng Qi’s heart trembled—he actually felt a wave of suffocation and numbness!

"Spewing filth, calling me a trash bastard—what the hell are you then?"

"You..."

"You what?"

Thud!

Zheng Qi’s face turned scarlet in an instant, then spat out a torrent of blood!

He was actually angered into coughing blood!

"Shut up!"

Gon Lang’s eyelids twitched madly, suddenly realizing his once-proud disciple was utterly worthless before Xu Yang!

A dignified Marquis Wu, yet with no shred of reason left—what a disgrace!

Rebuked again by Gon Lang, Zheng Qi finally forced himself to think straight. Clenching his molars, cords stood out on his jaw, as if they might burst!

"Vice Hall Master Gon, you don’t even qualify to negotiate!"

Without sparing Zheng Qi a glance, Xu Yang fixed his eyes on Gon Lang and spoke coldly.

Gon Lang laughed, lips twitching with anger: "I’m not qualified?"

"Then who do you want to talk to?"

"The Wuhou Hall Master!"

"You think you’re someone? Want to parley with the Hall Master? Are you worthy?"

"Whether I’m worthy or not, Vice Hall Master Gon knows best!"

"..."

I don’t know... Gon Lang’s gaze turned icy cold.

After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly flicked his finger.

Buzz!!

The air warped.

Ripples surged, and a wisp of spiritual light quietly surged forth, frozen midair.

"What is it?"

A calm and stately voice came from within.

Gon Lang bowed respectfully: "Hall Master, Xu Yang is here at the Bai Family. He is Huang Wu!"

As he uttered this, a twitch rippled across his face!

What ill luck had befallen Wuhou Hall?

Should word of this get out, Wuhou Hall would become a laughingstock!

As the words fell, silence pervaded the spiritual light for nearly ten breaths!

Clearly, even the Hall Master of Wuhou Hall was utterly shocked by this news!

Anyone would have trouble accepting it.

"Huang Wu, Xu Yang... Heh heh!!"

The strange tone betrayed no joy or anger, but the laughter itself made everyone in the hall go silent—despite the distance.

"So, you want to negotiate with me—talk about sparing your life?"

"Speak."

The Wuhou Hall Master saw through everything.

Gon Lang raised his head, staring at Xu Yang; he too was curious—what did Xu Yang intend to say?

Escape this calamity?

Utterly laughable!

"Wuhou Hall has grown rather domineering in recent years. Now you openly meddle in clan affairs? Heh, even if His Majesty is in closed-door cultivation, has Hall Master already forgotten the Sect Upheaval of yesteryear?"

With these words, Gon Lang’s expression changed drastically, his eyes trembling wildly!

He opened his mouth, wanting to rebuke Xu Yang, but in the end he could only swallow hard and instinctively stare at the spiritual light hovering in midair!

This youth is a demon!

Though he wished desperately to smash Xu Yang dead here and now, even he couldn’t help but feel a shock of awe at this moment!

Demonic genius!

A monster in alchemy, a monster in martial arts, but even more so in strategy!

With a single remark, he sent chills down Gon Lang’s scalp!

And rendered the Hall Master of Wuhou Hall completely silent!

In the dead silence, Xu Yang gave a faint smile, knowing he’d struck a nerve in certain people!

But it still wasn’t enough!

"Though I loathe to admit it, this was a case of fellow disciples turning on each other between me and Zheng Qi!"

"Even if your Wuhou Hall is a holy ground, do you truly have the right to interfere?"

A cold, clangorous laugh echoed, making the hall tremble!

Zheng Qi stared in confusion—what did that mean?

He understood every word, but strung together, anyone with half a brain knew there was a deeper meaning—what was it?

He instinctively glanced at his master, only to see the fury swirling on Gon Lang’s face; just as he was about to lash out, a sudden thought flashed through him, and his expression grew even uglier!

The Hall Master within the spiritual light remained silent!

He was practically dumbstruck by the situation!

The Sect Upheaval of those years made his skin crawl!

Now the situation was just too complicated, even he couldn’t grasp it all!

Wuhou Hall was indeed domineering—more so than that sect of old!

If the Son of Heaven emerged from seclusion... hiss!

It wasn’t impossible!

Now this came—a proclamation that Wuhou Hall had no right to meddle, reminding him of King Beixuan!

The Prince!

No matter how holy Wuhou Hall claims, they’re still under the court’s jurisdiction!

And what is King Beixuan’s relationship with the court?

Could a mere twenty-year-old have reasoned this out?

He was stunned.

But this matter couldn’t be left at that.

"Interesting. King Beixuan has raised a fine son indeed!"

Zheng Qi clenched his fists, face twisting with rage. "Am I nothing?"

"Sorry, Zheng Xuan isn’t worthy!" Xu Yang sneered coldly, utterly merciless!

The Hall Master fell silent once more—Zheng Qi nearly exploded!

"Anything more?" the Hall Master asked coldly.

"Naturally!"

Xu Yang said playfully, "Surely you wouldn’t want news of me being Huang Wu to spread all over Daqian, would you?"
