Arrogant as If Having Slain a Few Immortal Kings

A hint of surprise immediately flashed through the gloomy old man's eyes. He guessed that this kid, Gu Qingfeng, might not be so simple.

Just as his interest was somewhat piqued, the scarred woman in white standing to the side suddenly said, "Do not cause unnecessary trouble. Our main business is more important."

The gloomy old man was slightly displeased, but he did not say anything. Instead, he nodded in agreement. The group ignored Gu Qingfeng and prepared to continue on their way.

However, Gu Qingfeng had no intention of letting them go. Steering his White Bone Blood Boat, he moved straight ahead to block their path.

The gloomy old man and the others were slightly taken aback, and then they looked at Gu Qingfeng, who was blocking their way, with great interest.

"To think that this kid would actually dare to deliver himself to our doorstep after seeing us. It seems he's just a reckless fool who has never heard of our illustrious names," the man in beast skins laughed, flashing a wide grin.

The woman in white frowned slightly and warned again, "Do not cause unnecessary trouble."

But this time, the gloomy old man did not listen to her. Instead, he smiled and said, "It seems it's not us who want to cause trouble, but rather this little friend here has something to say."

With that, he turned his gaze to Gu Qingfeng, putting on an amiable smile. "Little friend, may I ask why you are blocking our path?"

Although his smile was amiable, paired with that ghastly, eerie face of his, it only made one feel a chilling sense of dread.

Gu Qingfeng looked at the four of them, his gaze condescending as he demanded, "Were you the one who just glanced at this Emperor?"

Hearing such arrogant words, the gloomy old man's smile became even more amiable. "Indeed, it was this old man. I wonder what advice you might have?"

"Hmph. A thing like an ant, and you dare to look directly at this Emperor?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the gloomy old man and the others were instantly stunned. They had thought Gu Qingfeng was a reckless fool, but they didn't expect him to be this foolish.

Even if you couldn't tell that we are all figures at the Quasi-Immortal King and Immortal King levels, shouldn't you at least be able to sense some degree of our extraordinariness?

You, a mere Great Luo, are nothing but a lowly nobody on this River of Laws. How dare you call beings whose cultivation realms you cannot even see through 'ants'?

"Hahaha..." The gloomy old man suddenly burst into loud laughter. "To think that because this old man hasn't walked upon this River of Laws for many years, even a measly Great Luo dares to call me an ant. Interesting, truly interesting. Kid, do you know my name?"

"Does this Emperor need to know the name of a mere ant?" Gu Qingfeng said indifferently.

The gloomy old man's smile gradually cooled.

At this moment, the woman in white standing to the side suddenly interjected, "He is Patriarch Huntian, a renowned demonic cultivator on the River of Laws. If you know what's good for you, you should leave immediately."

It seemed this woman in white did not want the gloomy old man to commit more slaughter; her words, both implicit and explicit, were urging Gu Qingfeng to leave quickly.

The gloomy old man, who was none other than Patriarch Huntian, immediately frowned. He naturally sensed the white-clothed woman's intentions, but he said nothing, seemingly having some reservations.

But Gu Qingfeng merely said indifferently, "Patriarch Huntian? Does any random stray cat or dog dare to call themselves a Patriarch these days?"

Patriarch Huntian instantly flared up with anger. He had been prepared to let Gu Qingfeng off on account of the woman in white, but since Gu Qingfeng was courting death like this, he couldn't be blamed!

The woman in white also furrowed her elegant brows and secretly shook her head.

Truly, good advice cannot persuade a ghost doomed to die.

At this time, the man in beast skins laughed heartily and said, "Boss, I never thought there would actually be someone on this River of Laws who wouldn't run away after hearing your fierce name."

The five-hundred-pound nun also chimed in, "Not only did he not run, he even dared to insult you, Boss."

Patriarch Huntian also felt his pride taking a hit. He immediately gave a cold snort and released a trace of the terrifying aura unique to an Immortal King.

He believed that Gu Qingfeng must be the kind of reckless youth who had some tricks up his sleeve and had just entered the River of Laws, which was why he had no reaction upon hearing his illustrious name.

But he was also certain that once the other party realized he was an Immortal King, the kid would definitely be scared out of his wits, drop to his knees, and kowtow for mercy.

However, after he released that trace of Immortal King aura, Gu Qingfeng standing opposite him showed no reaction whatsoever.

This caused Patriarch Huntian to frown slightly. Was he really that insensitive?

So he released another trace of his aura, but Gu Qingfeng remained completely unmoved.

Patriarch Huntian grew angry. He directly pressed his terrifying aura down upon Gu Qingfeng like an overwhelming tidal wave.

His behavior at this moment was like someone showing off their wealth. At first, he didn't intend to try too hard, merely revealing a corner of his luxury car keys. Seeing the other party unmoved, he directly slammed the keys onto the table.

But the other party still didn't care, so, flustered and exasperated, he began to pull out his property deeds and flash his bank balance.

However, when that overwhelming aura pressed down on Gu Qingfeng, it was still completely useless.

Gu Qingfeng just continued to look at him condescendingly, as if watching a buffoon.

Patriarch Huntian was thoroughly dumbfounded. What was going on!?

This Patriarch is an Immortal King! Can I really not even intimidate a mere Great Luo anymore?

The others also noticed that something was wrong and looked at Gu Qingfeng with bewilderment and uncertainty.

Yet no matter how they sensed it, the other party's cultivation base was exactly that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, without the slightest deviation.

"Seeing you holding it in so hard, are you trying to fart?" Gu Qingfeng mocked mercilessly.

"You!" Patriarch Huntian's face turned pale and green in turns, but he didn't dare to lash out, because he suddenly realized he couldn't see through Gu Qingfeng's background at all.

As a demonic cultivator despised and hunted by everyone, the reason he had survived to this day and cultivated to become an Immortal King was precisely due to his caution.

Now, facing Gu Qingfeng, whose background he couldn't figure out and who acted so fearlessly, he naturally felt apprehensive.

In truth, what he really feared wasn't that Gu Qingfeng could ignore his aura, but rather the other party's indifferent expression, looking at him as if he were an ant.

An Immortal King's aura had been displayed without reservation, yet the other party remained completely unmoved. What did this mean?

It meant the other party didn't fear an Immortal King at all.

It was very possible that this kid was a second-generation heir of some major power, with several Immortal Kings in his family, and possessed a trump card capable of saving his life in front of an Immortal King, which was why he acted so unscrupulously.

For a moment, Patriarch Huntian found himself in a dilemma.

"May I dare ask for Daoist friend's esteemed name?"

He planned to probe for background information first, to see if he was a second-generation heir from one of those top-tier factions.

Who would have expected Gu Qingfeng to say, "You are not worthy to know this Emperor's name."

Gu Qingfeng remained as arrogant as ever, yet Patriarch Huntian and the others became increasingly apprehensive.

"Then may I ask what matter Daoist friend has stopped us for?" Patriarch Huntian asked, lowering his posture.

"Apologize. Apologize for daring to look directly at this Emperor just now."

"What!?"

Patriarch Huntian was both shocked and furious. He had already lowered his posture enough, yet the other party actually dared to intensify the humiliation. Was he not afraid of him turning hostile?

But precisely because it was like this, Patriarch Huntian couldn't help but overthink. This kid clearly knew he was an Immortal King yet still pushed him in every possible way. It was obvious the kid had absolute confidence in dealing with him. He absolutely could not act rashly, lest he capsize in a mere gutter.

After struggling for a moment, Patriarch Huntian ultimately chose to apologize.

"Please forgive me, Daoist friend. This old man was impolite earlier."

A mocking smile curved at the corners of Gu Qingfeng's mouth as he said arrogantly, "Not bad. An ant should have the posture of an ant. If it weren't for the fact that this Emperor has returned to his hometown today and is in a good mood, just that glance of yours earlier would have been enough to send you into the cycle of reincarnation!"
