"Are you threatening me?"
Gu Shen pressed down on the ruler, his voice ice-cold as he countered.
There were many innocents here… If Xiao had really planted enough explosives in advance, then in the event of an explosion, Gu Shen could only ensure his own "survival"; he was well aware that he could not save everyone.
What he understood even more clearly was this.
For Xiao, such a threat could be used countless times.
If he softened once.
Then what followed… would be countless times as well.
"If this explosion happens… you won't escape the investigation of the New Moon Church, and once you draw the attention of the Storm God's Throne, do you really think you can get away?" Gu Shen did not accept the threat.
"If I can't escape, neither can you," Xiao spoke faintly, "I can assure you, once the explosion occurs… you won't be able to leave the Southern Continent. In the eye of the storm, there's no difference between the two of us."
So they were at an impasse for several seconds.
