"Broken them? Hahahaha—old woman, is your head waterlogged? You're talking to a bunch of robbers about the rules of the Ancient Plane? Are you out of your mind?" Xiao San laughed derisively. "If you've got the ability, use it; if not, then endure it. We'll give you a few days to think it over. In a few days, when we come here again, we'll be taking over the Dark Night Palace. Don't blame us then for showing no mercy!"
"In your dreams! There's no need to wait—I can tell you plainly: this is the birthplace of our Dark Night Palace, and we will absolutely never give it to you. That is the honor of the Dark Night Palace, and I will absolutely not permit you to defile it! As for the cultivation resources you want, I can give you some. I hope that once you have them, you will leave and not push things too far!" the Grand Elder said resolutely.
The Grand Elder would absolutely never yield the Dark Night Palace's territory. That was the Dark Night Palace's honor, and she would defend it to the death! She would not allow the Dark Night Palace to be destroyed in her hands; the birthplace handed down by their forebears must never be lost!
The Grand Elder could yield a portion of the cultivation resources, and she could endure the humiliation of insults and mockery—but if anyone sought to do something that would undermine the Dark Night Palace's foundations, that was absolutely out of the question, even at the cost of death!
It must be said that although the Grand Elder was a snobbish, calculating woman, she was utterly sincere toward the Dark Night Palace. Anything that benefited the Dark Night Palace, no matter how undignified it might be, she was willing to do; but anything that did not benefit the Dark Night Palace, she would not do even if it killed her!
"Old thing, I see you won't drink the wine of courtesy—you'd rather drink the wine of punishment!" Xiao San had been waiting for exactly these words. He was about to establish his authority! With a cold laugh, he said to Xiao Si and Xiao Wu, "Second Brother, Third Brother, let's teach this old woman a lesson together!"
"You bet!" Xiao Si and Xiao Wu answered, and the three of them closed in on the Grand Elder together from three sides!
The Grand Elder's heart turned cold. She had not expected the three of them to launch an attack the moment they said the word, with no regard at all for the rules of the Ancient Plane! But now, whatever happened, she must stiffen her resolve and fight on. She could not let her stance weaken; if she weakened, if she lost the birthplace of the Dark Night Palace, she would be an eternal traitor to the Dark Night Palace, and beneath the Nine Springs she would have no face to meet the past Patriarchs of the Dark Night Palace!
Gu Mengyao was frantic with worry, but at this moment there was simply nothing she could do. Her strength was low—the early Earth Rank—and before these people she had no advantage whatsoever. It could be said that all she could do was stand by and fret, unable to help in the slightest!
And if she were to go help, she might well only make things worse. After all, the Grand Elder would still have to look out for her, and would hardly be able to focus fully on dealing with the enemy.
But the outcome was never in doubt. Never mind that the Grand Elder was merely a run-of-the-mill expert of Heaven Rank late-stage peak strength—even a top-tier, outstanding expert of Heaven Rank late-stage peak strength, facing the combined attack of three experts of the same level, would have no escape!
