Chapter 731: Sword Technique That Startled the Enemy
Qin Sang could not be bothered to argue. His goal had already been achieved.
He had come alone. If he had directly declared his intention to drive Cui Ji away, the biggest concern would be that, after years of cultivation and influence, Cui Ji might have bought off members of the guild. In that case, Qin Sang would have faced a siege.
By keeping it framed as a personal grudge, the others would find it difficult to intervene.
Facing Cui Ji head-on like this was far simpler.
"Cui, there's no need for more words. You and I both know why I'm here. Today, let’s settle this with a duel. The winner stays, the loser gathers his people and leaves Five-Elemental Islands, never to set foot on the island again."
Qin Sang moved his lips slightly and sent a voice transmission directly to Cui Ji.
Cui Ji’s face shifted between blue and white. He couldn’t see through Qin Sang’s background. Although the man’s aura was clearly at the early stage of the Core Formation Realm, he had effortlessly captured his subordinate and left the others present too afraid to act.
Glancing around, Cui Ji knew he couldn’t count on anyone here.
His most trusted subordinate had fallen into the enemy’s hands, and now that the other party had a handle on him, uniting the full strength of the Nine-Star Guild to suppress the Qiongyu Merchant Guild was no longer possible.
The only choice left seemed to be accepting this wild Daoist’s proposal.
Without a word, Cui Ji turned around and swept into the hall with a flick of his sleeve.
Qin Sang instructed the Wang Sisters to watch over the man and then strolled in leisurely. As he passed through the crowd, he even nodded politely to several of them and received quite a few nods in return.
