"Betrayal? A crime deserving of death at the hands of all?"
Nie Yun hadn't expected to be branded with such a heavy accusation just for refusing to kill the Beast King, and his eyebrows shot up in anger.
"That's right. Now get over there! If you dare disobey, we'll kick you out. You'll lose any claim to the Nine-Heart Demon Fruit Tree, and we'll hunt you down. There will be no escape!"
Muu Shengxue burst out laughing, his voice dripping with indescribable glee and smugness.
"Hmph. Even if you're going to hunt me down, I'll teach you a lesson first!"
He had already been planning to find the Beast King to study the cryptic patterns on its back anyway, so he wasn't particularly opposed to Young Master Qii Yang's demand. However, Muu Shengxue's taunts grated on him. Nie Yun raised a hand and lunged, reaching straight for him!
"Hmph, still trying to act tough? You're hopeless!"
