As soon as his words trailed away, the Hong Clan's disciples immediately felt embarrassed. As a result, a strong and unparalleled killing intent awakened in their hearts. At this moment, they were so angry that all they wanted to do was to chop Curran and grind him into meat paste.
But of course, they were forbidden to do that. If they could defeat Curran fairly, then the Chu Clan would not have any justifiable reason to give them some trouble. But if they swarmed forward and beat Curran together with the majority, then it would only give the Chu Clan their needed reason to retaliate. If this happened, then Amelia would have no choice but to accept her fate, which was the opposite of what they had wanted for her.
In fact, Amelia was the hope of the Hong Clan, and they had seen her as a goddess and they all admired her.
'Damn it! How dare he show up here with his arrogance? If only Ablett and Amanda were here!' all the disciples of the Hong Clan thought with resentment in their hearts.
'Ablett has broken through and become a demi-spiritual emperor. Even if he were here, I'm afraid that he would still not be able to fight against that lousy Curran. I guess that's why the damn Curran dared to come here in the first place, '
one of the disciples of the Hong Clan thought. Despite looking very angry, all of them chose not to open their mouths. Seeing this, Curran felt nothing but amusement.
Being Carney's cousin, he was also considered as a genius in the Chu Clan. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been close to the demi-spiritual emperor realm at all. In fact, he had already won most battles against opponents at the same level.
Meanwhile, if the Hong Clan obediently agreed with their request, then they would not have gone so far. However, the Hong Clan didn't cooperate with them. Despite this, they could not bully the Hong Clan out in the open since the Chu Clan was a spiritual-emperor force, after all. They needed to keep their decency in the public.
One of the reasons why Curran came this time was to subdue the disciples of the Hong Clan. All he wanted to do was to let the Hong Clan know that they were nothing in front of the powerful Chu Clan.
Although he was close to a demi-spiritual emperor, he was still considered as a completed spiritual king. So when he came to the Hong Clan, his only intention was to challenge the completed spiritual kings at peak state. Knowing that he was invincible with his talent of defeating opponents in the same realm, he believed that he could multitask and defeat several disciples of the Hong Clan simultaneously.
'You are really over-confident! How dare you refuse the Chu Clan's offer?' Curran thought to himself as he laughed grimly in silence.
Soon after, he opened his mouth again and sneered, "What's going on here? Don't tell me you're still afraid to fight me. Oh, come on, I've already given you the permission to fight me five at a time! Or maybe the reason why you can't is because the Hong Clan doesn't even have five completed spiritual kings at peak state to fight against me? Tsk. Too bad."
Crack! Crack!
As soon as the disciples of the Hong Clan heard Curran's audacious words, they could not help but clench their fists in anger, deeply stabbing their fingernails right into their flesh and emitting the sound of crushing bones.
"What are we waiting for? Let's kill him! Go ahead!" several disciples of the Hong Clan communicated with each other through telepathy as they could not bear such an embarrassment.
"If we kill him, then the entire Hong Clan will be doomed!" some other disciples echoed their thoughts as they disagreed with the matter.
"So are you trying to say that we have no choice but to watch him assume great airs in front of us? We can be killed, but we can't stand here and be humiliated!"
"Once you die without regret, you will leave everything behind. But have you ever considered the welfare of the old, weak, sick, and disabled members of the Hong Clan? I'm afraid that they would have to become slaves by then."
After voicing their concerns, silence began to fill the air.
"Well, it seems that there's nobody strong enough to challenge me here. Alas, could this be any more pathetic? I wanted to compete with you, but you don't even have the courage to stand up for yourselves and fight. I guess we'll call it a day. Let's go!" Curran let out a sigh and ordered his attendants to follow him.
Now that he had achieved his goal, he didn't need to humiliate the members of the Hong Clan anymore. All he knew was that he had to have a sense of decency. Otherwise, if he went too far, then the demi-spiritual emperors of the Hong Clan might stand out to fight him. If that happened, Curran was sure that he would be defeated. By then, the demi-spiritual emperors of the Chu Clan would also have to take part in the fight, which would make things too problematic and chaotic.
After all, their purpose had to be too obvious—all they wanted to do was to force the Hong Clan to submit to them.
If they pressed the Hong Clan too hard, then they might choose to surrender to the Spirit Sect unconditionally. If that ever happened, the Chu Clan would get nothing in the end.
