"And if I refuse?" Golden Star Daoist frowned as he asked.
"Then don't blame us for being impolite." The voices of Su Jingrui and the Valley Master of Luoxia Valley grew ever colder.
"You wouldn't dare." Golden Star Daoist let out a cold snort, and actually released the pressure of his sixth-rank Martial Ancestor cultivation.
Boom—
However, the moment Golden Star Daoist's sixth-rank Martial Ancestor pressure was released—
The pressure of the Valley Master of Luoxia Valley and Su Jingrui, which had been lingering in the sky, surged toward Golden Star Daoist like a pack of invisible beasts.
The Valley Master of Luoxia Valley and Su Jingrui were both eighth-rank Martial Ancestors. How powerful could the combined pressure of two such cultivators be?
Golden Star Daoist's mere sixth-rank Martial Ancestor pressure was utterly insignificant before theirs.
In the blink of an eye, Golden Star Daoist's pressure was devastated beyond recognition, and he once again felt the sensation of deadly danger.
He knew that if that pressure bore down on him, even if he didn't die, he would certainly suffer grievous injuries.
The Valley Master of Luoxia Valley and Su Jingrui weren't joking—they truly intended to strike him down over this Chu Feng.
"Stop!!!" Suddenly, Golden Star Daoist shouted.
The moment those words left his mouth, the pressure bearing down on him did indeed halt in an instant.
Though it stopped, it didn't dissipate—like an army of thousands, it surrounded Golden Star Daoist, staring him down with menacing intent.
If he submitted, that would be the end of it. If he refused to submit, this army of thousands would not let him off easily.
Under these circumstances, Golden Star Daoist had no choice but to say: "Fine, very well. I, Golden Star, will remember what happened today."
After saying this, Golden Star Daoist turned to face Chu Feng once more, cupped his fists, and bowed slightly, saying: "Chu Feng, I was in the wrong earlier. I offer you my apology here."
Though he went through the motions and spoke the words of submission, everyone present could hear that Golden Star Daoist's words were insincere—he was merely going through the motions. This degree of perfunctory apology was far worse than Kou Kang's earlier apology.
It made Xu Yiyi and the others feel deeply displeased.
This Golden Star Daoist was truly going too far.
"It's nothing. I've always been the bigger person—I don't hold grudges against the petty." Chu Feng said with a look of complete indifference.
"You!!!" Hearing Chu Feng's words, Golden Star Daoist's mouth twitched violently with rage. Though he had indeed apologized, it had been entirely for show. He hadn't expected Chu Feng to take it seriously—more than that, to throw out a line like "I'm the bigger person, I don't hold grudges against the petty."
Who was the bigger person?
Who was the petty one?
If Chu Feng was the bigger person—
Then wouldn't he, Golden Star, truly be the petty one?
Such brazen humiliation left Golden Star Daoist seething with displeasure.
But hearing Chu Feng's words, Xu Yiyi and the others couldn't help but let a smile creep onto their lips.
Regardless of whether Golden Star Daoist's apology was sincere or not, he had apologized all the same, and Chu Feng had graciously accepted it.
If word of this got out, Golden Star Daoist's reputation would undoubtedly take a serious hit.
"Are you satisfied now?" Golden Star Daoist swept his gaze toward the Valley Master of Luoxia Valley and Su Jingrui. Clearly, after being forced to apologize, he felt he had lost considerable face—not only did his expression grow uglier, but his tone became increasingly unpleasant.
