King of Assassins-Chapter 674 - 509: A picturesque landscape_3

Jin Guangzu's ridicule of Gao Xuan's words was simply naïve to the point of absurdity.

To this, Jin Ge could only offer an apologetic explanation: "He's still a child."

Jin Guangzu's face stiffened a bit, and he was extremely annoyed in his heart. The old man actually spoke like this, truly making him lose face completely.

The problem was that since Jin Ge said so, he couldn't refute it. He could only forcibly hold onto his temper.

If Jin Guangzu weren't a Golden Middle-tier Powerhouse, the pent-up anger could have burst his lungs. Even as a Golden Middle-tier Powerhouse, it was a bit hard to endure, and his face couldn't help but change color.

Gao Xuan laughed heartily: "A child of several hundred years, this is the first time I've seen one."

Jin Ge said calmly: "A person who is immature can be called a child at any age."

Gao Xuan nodded and said: "Elder Jin is wise, it's my pettiness."

He thought for a moment and sighed: "There are so many heroes in the world. Even in such a decadent place as the Jin Family, there are figures like Elder Jin. No matter how unworthy the Augustus Clan is, there's also a talent like Marco."

Gao Xuan was obviously only twenty years old, not even a fraction of Jin Ge's age, yet his words were in the tone of evaluating heroes from a position on high.

Jin Ge didn't feel Gao Xuan was overbearing. With Gao Xuan's capabilities and what he had accomplished, he was fully qualified to speak this way.

He smiled slightly: "To be compared alongside Marco, I am deeply honored."

Of course, not everyone had Jin Ge's awareness and wisdom.

From Jin Guangzu on down, many in the Jin Family felt Gao Xuan was overly arrogant. Their ancestor Jin Ge was too accommodating, even supporting Gao Xuan. They couldn't understand this at all.

Jin Guangzu gripped the knife handle, his eyes gleaming, always feeling an impulse to draw his blade.

On one hand, it was his nature. On the other, the Seven Great Resentments Saber was the most extreme.

Holding this saber, it was inevitable to be influenced by it.

Jin Ge sensed Jin Guangzu's agitation and glanced at him, signaling him to hold back.

Chatting casually with Gao Xuan was also to communicate more and learn more about the other party's situation.

Jin Guangzu's impatience truly affected the atmosphere and disrupted the rhythm.

It's like two people playing chess, and a spectator keeps shouting: capture him, capture him...

The one playing would be dying to hit the guy offering advice.

Jin Ge said to Gao Xuan: "Mr. Gao, there's something I don't understand, why do you want to go to war with our Jin Family?"

He paused and said: "If there are any mistakes, we can correct them. If a price needs to be paid, we're also willing to compensate. Anything can be discussed."

Jin Ge smiled wryly: "If possible, let's avoid fighting."

Jin Guangzu couldn't help but frown, this old man was begging for peace without even starting a fight. Truly, the older one gets, the more afraid of death.

However, it was also okay to hear what Gao Xuan had to say. If the terms weren't too harsh, it might be negotiable.

Jin Guangyao, on the other hand, was a bit nervous. The conflict with Gao Xuan arose entirely because of Jin Yutang.

No one expected things to escalate to this point.

Or rather, no one expected Gao Xuan to become so formidable!

Jin Guangyao knew that Gao Xuan was by no means a kind-hearted person. If the Jin Family wanted peace talks, they would need to pay a huge price.

At that time, Jin Yutang certainly couldn't be kept, and as the mastermind of this matter, she wouldn't have a good outcome either.

The many elders of the Jin Family observing in the Divine Strategy Hall showed different expressions.

Most people still wanted to negotiate. If a price could avoid a great battle, that would be ideal.

One could see, the Augustus family's strong individuals were almost wiped out. The loss was too severe. Too severe to bear.

But at this time, no one dared to speak carelessly. Even Clan Leader Jin Guangzu didn't dare to speak carelessly. In his heart, of course, he also hoped for peace talks.

The risk of a great battle on both sides was still too great. Win with little gain, lose and face total annihilation. In such a situation, Jin Guangzu certainly didn't want to gamble.

Gao Xuan shook his head slightly: "The conflict between the Jin Family and me is a minor issue. I want to destroy the Jin Family because you took the wrong path. There's nothing to discuss, we must determine victory or defeat with the sword."

Jin Ge was sincere about negotiating. The problem was the entire Jin Family was thoroughly corrupt.

Negotiate, how to negotiate?

From Jin Guangzu downwards, every elder was no good. Telling them to commit suicide and step down, would they agree?

With a noble family like the Jin Family, there's really nothing more to say. A thorough purge is necessary before anything else can be discussed.

"I see."

Gao Xuan's words weren't very clear, but Jin Ge more or less understood.

Gao Xuan simply wanted to eliminate the Jin Family, and this was just a pretext to launch the attack. As for why Gao Xuan hated the Jin Family so much, the reason wasn't important anymore.

The Jin Family had ruled the Thousand Mechanism Star Realm for three thousand years, committing many misdeeds. They also enjoyed three thousand years of wealth and glory. Reflecting on those things now held no meaning.

"What a pity, only a fight remains."

Jin Ge, despite seeming as gentle as an old neighborhood man and having maintained a soft demeanor, once he made things clear, had no hesitation.

But Jin Guangzu, Jin Guangyao, and others were a bit surprised. Gao Xuan spoke so resolutely, but why?

Where did such deep-seated hatred come from? If Gao Xuan insisted on destroying the Jin Family, there had to be a reason, right?

As it turned out, Jin Ge didn't ask further.

Jin Guangzu wanted to speak but stopped. Jin Ge noticed his expression and waved a hand: "We've said everything that needs to be said, no need for more."

He clasped his folding fan and saluted Gao Xuan: "I come to learn from your excellence, please."

Gao Xuan drew his sword from the sheath with a flourish, then flipped the longsword upside down and saluted: "Please."
