Cang Mu's face was grim, his gaze fixed intently on Gu Liyan, his angry eyes seeming to want to tear Gu Liyan apart.
The hatred for killing one's son is irreconcilable!
However, Cang Mu simply couldn't see through or guess what Gu Liyan was thinking.
Looking at Cang Mu's angry but unspeakable gaze, Gu Liyan couldn't help but sneer, "What? It's been so long, has the Demon Clan Chief mastered the art of glaring? Does he glare at anyone and they die? If that's the case, Clan Chief Cang Mu, you can just go and rule the entire universe, why bother with the rule of this small world?"
Gu Liyan's sarcastic remarks enraged Cang Mu, who immediately rebuked him, "Gu Liyan, don't be so presumptuous!"
"I'm being presumptuous? Clan Chief Cangmu, are you late, or is it because you're on a higher vantage point and have a limited view that you didn't see who first blocked my way, injured my friend Mo Chen, and, oh right, even kidnapped my woman An Qianbai! You turn a blind eye to all this? Or are you deliberately favoring your son and thinking his actions are justified?"
Gu Liyan narrowed his eyes, looking at the vast sky above, and coldly spoke:
"Or, could I interpret this as a scheme you orchestrated? It seems this high and mighty Cangmu Clan Chief now truly believes himself to be a god revered by all and has begun to abuse his power! However, in the end, it's truly a pity—even if you are a god-like figure in the eyes of many, you are ultimately a useless piece of trash who couldn't save your own son!"
Upon hearing Gu Liyan's words, Tianqi, who was still standing in Sky City, froze on the spot, staring at Gu Liyan in disbelief.
In his memory, Gu Liyan was the kind of gentle and refined gentleman who would never lose his composure or his manners because of anger...
When Cang Mu heard Gu Liyan's words, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He also didn't expect that Gu Liyan was not only sharp-tongued, but also dared to bluntly call him a piece of trash!
Is this the real Gu Liyan? He's been hiding it all along!
Gu Liyan looked calmly at Cang Mu and gave a cold smile. Little did he know that Gu Liyan had just suffered the biggest blow to date.
Because he accidentally killed his benefactor Leng Shaohan, he betrayed Leng Shaohan's trust in him and almost went astray and became an executioner whom heaven and earth could not tolerate!
At this moment, his heart was resisting him; he needed to distract himself, to release the pent-up emotions within him…
All of this was like a floodgate being opened, releasing its emotions.
Cang Mu trembled with rage, and before he could speak, Gu Liyan gave him no chance to defend himself, continuing:
"Clan Chief Cangmu, you've been the clan chief for so long, and now both the Demon Clan and the Celestial Clan are under your rule. What more could you possibly want? Or have you grown tired of playing in the heavens and want to come down to the mortal realm to show off your power? However, seeing that you still have the same level of cultivation as before, it's truly pitiful!"
"Gu—Li—Yan! Do you want to die?" Cang Mu pointed at Gu Li Yan and shouted.
He was truly enraged. Gu Liyan had not only killed his son but also spoken so rudely; it was simply too outrageous! He unabashedly unleashed his killing intent towards Gu Liyan.
Gu Liyan smiled and spoke calmly:
"Clan Chief Cangmu, you're radiating such killing intent, are you trying to kill me? But let me warn you, even if you kill me, things won't improve for the Heavenly Palace. On the contrary, without my everlasting power, the Heavenly Palace will decline even further, and then all of you will have to perish with me! And all the effort you've put in all this time will be for naught!"
"You...you..." Cang Mu really didn't know what to say. Gu Liyan's sudden domineering and forceful attitude left him speechless and helpless.
Upon seeing this, Tianqi slowly stepped forward and said calmly, "Your Majesty, Cangmu, please be cautious for the sake of the greater good."
Cang Mu took a deep breath and coldly stared at Tianqi. He knew that the guy who was most pleased with himself at this moment was Tianqi! When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits, and at this moment, Tianqi was the fisherman!
For the sake of the bigger picture, Cang Mu finally calmed his anger and looked at Gu Liyan coldly, saying:
"Gu Liyan, since that's the case, then state your conditions!"
Gu Liyan's lips curled up, his arrogant demeanor undiminished, and he sneered:
"Before I state my conditions, I would like to ask the Cangmu Clan Chief to answer a few questions truthfully to the world!"
Cang Mu's gaze suddenly sharpened as he coldly stared at Gu Liyan. However, the latter completely disregarded his warning look and instead looked directly at Cang Mu, loudly asking:
"Chief Cangmu, the Heavenly Palace descends upon the world under the name of the Heavenly Palace, using the election as an excuse to make people worship the Way of God and the Way of Heaven. Is its purpose merely to enslave those cultivators with potential, giving them the opportunity to step into the Heavenly Palace and do hard labor for you?"
Everyone was stunned by Gu Liyan's words, and immediately a chorus of angry curses erupted:
"So this chosen one just wanted to trick us into becoming slaves!"
"These damned bastards are unforgivable!"
"Get down here! You're not worthy to stand above us!"
"Yes! Get down here!"
Amidst the throng of people, shouts of curses echoed. Cang Mu, his face contorted with rage, roared, "You bastards! My Heavenly Palace is the path of justice, how could we enslave you! You mortals, don't be fooled by slander and fall for someone else's trap!"
"Since Chief Cangmu has said so, Gu Liyan really wants to know... where are the participants of the past election today? Are they alive or dead? And can you bring them back to meet the world?" Gu Liyan continued.
