At this moment, Ye Xunhuan’s heart was filled with intense struggle.

After all, this was Qiu Ruoxi, and she was in the hands of the King. If he didn’t compromise, then with the King’s despicable nature, he would definitely dare to kill her. By then, he would leave directly, and outwardly proclaim that Ye Xunhuan conspired with foreign forces, aiming to destroy the guardians of Huaxia, leading to all major sect masters being slaughtered!

By that time, even if Ye Xunhuan were alive, he would be like a rat running across the street, with everyone wanting to kill him, and he would have no place to stand on Huaxia’s land.

Most importantly, Qiu Ruoxi would also perish.

Therefore, Ye Xunhuan’s heart was filled with thick layers of conflict and struggle.

After what seemed like an eternity, Ye Xunhuan wetted his lips, just about to speak, when Jue Tian’s voice suddenly resonated around them!

"King, I’ve long known you are despicable, but I never thought you would be this despicable!"

"Jue Tian, do you think that wearing a mask would make it impossible for me to recognize you?"

"King, you can only determine who I am based on my skills," Jue Tian said casually, "but even meeting face to face, you might not recognize me!

At this, the King didn’t deny it since twenty years had passed, and back then Jue Tian nearly got disfigured. Who knows if he hadn’t gone through surgery. If he did, the King really wouldn’t recognize him.

This could be the reason why Jue Tian always wore a mask.

"King, since you know I am Jue Tian, you should also know that I am the number one in Miaojiang!" Jue Tian said firmly, "In Miaojiang, if I say my Gu Art is second, no one dares claim to be first, even now!"

Jue Tian was also a remarkable figure, a genius in his own right. It was his Gu worms that caused a great war back then!

One could say that Jue Tian was the catalyst, a fuse that ignited everything.

Upon hearing this, the King’s expression changed slightly, "You..."

"Swoosh!"

Jue Tian didn’t say much more and directly placed his demonic blade, Firefall, on himself. Then, as if by magic, a xun suddenly appeared in his hand!

The xun is an ancient instrument, producing a primitive and sincere sound akin to the harmonious music of nature, holding a crucial place in the world’s primal art history. The early prototype of the xun was a hunting stone.

Some stones had naturally formed cavities, and when early humans used these stones to hunt, the airflow caused a whistling sound, inspiring the creation of the early xun.

The majority of surviving xun are made of clay, round or oval, formerly with six holes, now with eight, nine, ten holes, double octave, etc.!

The xun in Jue Tian’s hand was of the most common six-holed type, looking very rustic, evidently quite old.

Upon seeing the xun in Jue Tian’s hand, the King’s face completely changed, "Jue Tian, you damn..."

Just as the King was about to rage, Jue Tian blew into the xun.

The sound of the xun was very pleasant, akin to the chirping of insects and birds, or like mountains and flowing streams, extremely crisp. But this crisp, nature-like sound of the xun, upon reaching the King’s ears, made him feel something seemed to be writhing inside him, causing great discomfort!

This discomfort was entirely like countless ants biting at your heart, a pain that suffocates you.

Instantly, the King’s face turned extremely unpleasant.

"Jue Tian, stop, stop it..."

Pain slowly appeared on the King’s face, and his facial muscles twisted together in this moment, as if he was undergoing immense torture.

Seeing this, Jue Tian gradually stopped, softly saying, "King, is it painful?"

Once Jue Tian stopped, the King immediately felt a lot better, but he still took big gulps of air.

After panting heavily a few times, the King spoke, "When did you plant the Gu in me, just now you clearly didn’t..."

"Did I say just now?" Jue Tian directly interrupted the King!

"You..."

"In Jiangzhong City, or that time with King!" Jue Tian didn’t hesitate and straightforwardly told the King, "At that time, I already knew you would make another move in the future; I had to prepare, or else I wouldn’t be able to stop you, and then they would be in trouble!"

"Impossible, this time I..."

"You can practice as you like, it doesn’t matter even if you fight, you won’t feel this kind of Gu; it’s a worm Gu I researched using herb Gu!" Jue Tian said softly, "The advantage of these Gu worms is that as long as I don’t activate the xun sound, they are no harm to you, they will remain dormant in your body!"

"Even if till death, they wouldn’t harm you. Once I activate the xun sound, they will wake up, slowly drinking your blood, eating your flesh, and then burst through your chest!" Jue Tian’s voice changed, becoming extremely fierce, "King, you will die too, and your internal organs will be eaten clean, leaving only an empty shell!"

"Jue Tian, you..."

"What’s wrong, regretting not checking properly to see if I was dead, or didn’t throw my corpse into a fire to burn it completely back then?" Jue Tian interrupted the King’s words directly.

At that time, Jue Tian was indeed on the brink of death, saying he had half a foot in hell wouldn’t be an exaggeration, but he was saved by Qin Fenghuang.

This allowed him to eke out a living until now.

The King did not speak, but looked at Jue Tian with a face full of ferocity, "Jue Tian, what do you want?"

"Release the person to me, otherwise, I’ll keep playing the xun, playing whenever I feel like it." Jue Tian said flatly, "Of course, you can run far away, but as long as I play the xun, the Gu worms can still sense it, making you even more miserable!"

"King, frankly speaking, I can kill you within three days now!" Jue Tian said coldly, "Do you know why I let you live?"

"Why?"

"You’re nothing but a dog." Jue Tian snorted coldly, "Killing a dog is easy, killing its master is not!"

The King had always been high above in the ancient martial artist circles of Huaxia, and saying he was an absolute ruler wouldn’t be an exaggeration, but now being called a dog by Jue Tian filled his heart with a thick evil aura, filled with killing intent, wishing to tear Jue Tian apart immediately.

"Don’t look at me with that expression!" Jue Tian said disdainfully, "King, if it weren’t for Lin Yuhai, do you think you could kill the Evil King?"

"If not for Lin Yuhai, among Huaxia’s ancient martial artists, it would be the Evil King who calls the shots, you’re not even worthy of mention!"
