Chapter 1027: Chapter 1023: Intentions Revealed

”What did you just say again?” Xiao Tian rubbed his forehead in thought, then suddenly slapped his head, as if he remembered something, and said, ”You asked me if I plan to let it go like this, right?”

Everyone was puzzled upon hearing this, not knowing what scheme Xiao Tian was plotting.

At that moment, as everyone was in a daze, they heard Xiao Tian’s voice again...

Xiao Tian first showed a mocking expression, then said, ”To be honest, I don’t plan to let it go like this, and I will make you wake up from your ignorance...”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone could no longer endure being mocked by Xiao Tian for their ignorance and immediately jumped out to argue back.

”You call us ignorant, I think you’re the most ignorant of all!”

”Yeah, your whole family is ignorant.”

”Whoever calls others ignorant is the one who is ignorant.”

Instead of getting angry, Xiao Tian was delighted, thinking that the moment he was waiting for had finally arrived. He immediately put on a serious face and said, ”Since you refuse to admit you’re ignorant, dare to prove yourself with me and see if I’m wrong or if you’re just stubborn like a dead duck?”

”Nonsense! You think we’re fools to prove such a thing with you?”

Upon hearing this rebuttal, Xiao Tian pretended to be baffled and said, ”I say you’re ignorant, yet you refuse to acknowledge it. Now I propose a way to prove it, and you don’t dare. Are you that guilty?”

These words sparked another fierce counterattack, but although everyone appeared indignant on the surface, deep down, they didn’t really care. After all, this verbal spat was much better than real combat, wasn’t it?

Thinking about this, everyone put on an angry facade, shouting, ”Prove it then, you tell us, how do we prove it?”

After putting much effort into bringing the topic here, Xiao Tian took a deep breath, then suddenly turned around and pointed at the long-haired elder who had been watching coldly from the sidelines.

The long-haired elder felt a bit baffled at once, not understanding the significance of Xiao Tian’s actions, while also being somewhat surprised that Xiao Tian’s frenzied state hadn’t shown signs of dissipating.

Of course, surprised as he was, as long as Xiao Tian didn’t escape, his task was accomplished. Since Xiao Tian dared to stall for time, the elder felt confident he could drag it out too, to see who would give in first!

With a cold snort in his heart, the long-haired elder’s face remained as steady as ever, and he simply closed his eyes, presenting the confident demeanor of sitting calmly fishing while storm surge occurs.

Of course, Xiao Tian understood that, while the opponent’s eyes appeared closed, their perception hadn’t moved away from him for a moment; even a slight move would trigger interception from him.

But this was inconsequential because Xiao Tian’s goal had never been him; he was merely a pretext.

”See this old guy?”

Xiao Tian rudely said, ”Though he appears presentable, he’s actually full of malicious plots. Do you really think he’s offering you good advice?”

With a twist of his head, Xiao Tian pointed at the long-haired elder and concluded, ”You’re all wrong! He wants to get you killed; the person who just attacked me stealthily is an example. So... are you not ready to wake up? Do you still want to foolishly be used as cannon fodder?”

Before the crowd could react, the long-haired elder opened his eyes first and, without any pretenses, mocked, ”Such pathetic attempts at sowing discord really don’t seem like something from you, Hunter?”

Xiao Tian was delighted once more, originally thinking the opponent would hold out a bit longer, not expecting him to jump out so quickly, almost as if he were deliberately cooperating!

”I’m not sowing discord, but it’s unbearable seeing you deceive these people like fools.” Xiao Tian said righteously, ”That’s why I have to step forward and expose your true face.”

This time, the long-haired elder didn’t even bother to argue and simply closed his eyes again, returning to his composed demeanor, without a trace of anxiety on his face.

Xiao Tian, of course, understood that these experts wouldn’t be swayed by a few words to lose their bearings. It’s not something impossible but definitely not achievable within such a short time. Even the most skilled manipulators couldn’t possibly succeed without using some special methods.

And it’s not just the Mizuno Clan; any organization or force that reaches a certain scale would surely have detailed precautions against this, otherwise, if there were any defectors at critical moments, it would be more than just a matter of face!

That’s why the long-haired elder dared to be this fearless.

”If I’m not mistaken, the old guy here will instruct you to self-destruct your power, even knowing you’ll die, to harm me.” Xiao Tian confidently said, ”The methods may differ, but the result is the same, do you... believe it or not?”

As soon as those words were uttered, everyone had a horrified look, clearly stirred by Xiao Tian’s words. If it was really true, then it seemed like they were being disregarded as people.

Though Mizuno Pengyu had said something similar before, it was in a moment of anger, particularly emphasizing the words ”necessary time,” yet now, is it a necessary time?

Clearly not.

At least in their view, the situation hasn’t reached the necessity described by Mizuno Pengyu!

At the same instant Xiao Tian spoke those words, the long-haired elder’s tightly shut eyes snapped open, with pupils constricting momentarily, feeling the unusual gaze from his experts, finally understanding what Xiao Tian’s convoluted theme was.

Currently, the long-haired elder found Xiao Tian even more inscrutable, because, as Xiao Tian mentioned, he indeed intended to lead the experts down the extreme path of self-destruction in a subtle way.

But he hadn’t gotten the chance to express it, and Xiao Tian’s words had already hit the mark, rendering the prior calculations futile, making further attempts exceedingly difficult.

To outsiders, it might be hard to grasp, but the long-haired elder understood that even Mizuno Pengyu wouldn’t dare openly order an attack with suicidal methods on Xiao Tian, not even if the target was their mortal enemy!

Though the Mizuno Clan had a grudge with Xiao Tian, it didn’t mean every force in the world had a grudge with him. Doing so would mark themselves with an indelible label; even if it didn’t cause immediate losses,

It would imply that the Mizuno Clan’s growth would hit a ceiling. With such a label, who would dare cooperate with them, who wouldn’t worry about facing the same treatment as Xiao Tian?

Moreover, these external impacts are secondary compared to the internal effects, which are likely more significant. After all, who would willingly sacrifice for an organization indifferent to the lives of its experts?

Realizing this, the long-haired elder nearly bit through his teeth... What a Hunter, I truly underestimated you before!
