"Today’s first update! Monthly votes requested! Today’s first update! Monthly votes requested!" Hawk Bo Kong's words were a complete echo of what Elder Six had just said to Jun Wu Yi. Yet, the sarcasm embedded within was undeniably much stronger!

The previous words still rang in their ears, and in the blink of an eye, they were hurled back by the very person he had just insulted.

Elder Six’s face flushed a deep crimson; he nearly choked to death right there from sheer rage!

"Such a mere shrimp dares to strut and throw his weight around in front of this Elder! He even dares to mimic my speech. Shamelessly proclaiming that this and that person is unworthy?! And after I’ve already made my move, he dares to ask why? Didn't you just demand that my corpse remain whole? How could I deny you such an opportunity! Truly the biggest joke under heaven! This Xiao, do you truly believe your Silver City is invincible? In my eyes, apart from that old fellow Han Feng Xue, everyone else is trash—the entire city is full of waste!"

Hawk Bo Kong stood with his hands clasped behind his back, slowly taking two steps forward. His hawk-like eyes fixed on Elder Six’s face, contorted with extreme grief and frustration, and he suddenly asked with feigned interest, "What? That is my meaning. Do you have a different opinion? I ask you, is what I said not reasonable? Do you—submit?!"

Elder Six glared fiercely at Hawk Bo Kong, tightly pressing his lips together, but saying nothing. Yet, his eyes spoke volumes.

"This Xiao! If you dare utter a single word of defiance today, this Elder will immediately destroy that so-called Sheng Bao Tang. I will slaughter every soul sent by your Silver City to Tian Xiang this time! Including your two brothers and the two descendants of your Xiao family, and this little girl! Heh heh, very good, very good. There aren't too many high-ranking officials from Silver City here in Tian Xiang; it won't be too much trouble! Xiao shrimp, tell me, do I dare, or do I not dare?"

Hawk Bo Kong laughed fiercely, "Now, don’t play deaf and dumb with me. I will ask you one more time: Do you—refuse to submit?!"

A cruel intent began to surface in Hawk Bo Kong’s eyes.

"Hawk Supreme, killing is no more than a flick of the head! I implore you, for the sake of the Old City Lord, leave a thread of civility, so we may meet again in the future!" Elder Three shouted sternly.

"Pah. This has nothing to do with you! I am already showing great restraint out of respect for that old man Han Feng Xue by sparing this shrimp’s life. Based on his earlier demand to keep my corpse intact, how could I possibly let him off easily!"

"Han Feng Xue’s face? Don't point fingers when you yourself are guilty! Why is it that when you came here, you wouldn't show me face, grant mercy to the Jun family, and let them go? If you have the guts to play the tyrant on my territory, naturally I will play along. And now you have the gall to ask me to hold back? Fine, I will hold back—provided this Xiao answers me!"

Hawk Bo Kong waved a hand dismissively without looking back, "Now, even your life, included, rests upon his words!"

"I never ask a question a third time!" Hawk Bo Kong stated in a low, calm voice.

"Now. Answer!"

He was so filled with grief and humiliation that he wished for immediate death! This extreme shaming left Elder Six’s entire body almost numb. He even contemplated shattering his own heart meridian to end his life right then, but he absolutely could not! Because Hawk Bo Kong had made it perfectly clear: the lives of everyone from Silver City currently in Tian Xiang City depended on his next word.

He utterly believed that this lunatic, Hawk Bo Kong, could say it and do it! If he truly voiced his defiance, it was likely that everyone here would be buried on the spot!

Even if Hawk Bo Kong did carry out the threat, the Snow Wind Silver City would find it difficult to deal with this old monster afterward!

He had no choice but to endure this humiliation! Although, even now, he still didn't understand where he had suddenly offended Hawk Bo Kong, and offended him so severely! But clearly, this was no time for contemplation!

"I... I..." Elder Six’s lips moved several times before he finally closed his eyes, and a single, old tear slowly leaked from the corner of his eye: "Submit!" As soon as the word was spoken, Elder Six shut his eyes tight and promptly slumped backward, falling over.

"Very good! This little shrimp knows his place after all; this Elder will be magnanimous and not hold it against you." Hawk Bo Kong smiled cruelly. He slowly turned, his gaze sweeping across Elder Three, Mu Xue Tong, and the little princess, before suddenly glaring, "Who else refuses to submit?!"

"I refuse to submit! Bullying the weak is not what a true expert should do. If you want to kill me, then do it. It will give me another chance to appreciate the bearing of the Eight Great Supremes!" Mu Xue Tong suddenly stepped forward boldly, her eyes fixed on Hawk Bo Kong, showing not a trace of fear.

"I refuse as well!" Little Princess Han Yan Meng stood out, her face puffed up in genuine defiance toward Hawk Bo Kong.

"Ah ha? So the Ice Snow Silver City truly has those unafraid to die! Not bad, not bad!" Hawk Bo Kong chuckled playfully, "I’ve seen something new today. The two elders are cowering, but it’s the two juniors—seven refusing, eight indignant. Have you already figured out that I, an old man, have no habit of bullying the younger generation? I am not like some people who treat their faces as their buttocks and relentlessly bully those beneath them! Relax. Today, young Xuan boy, and you, little girl—this Elder will give Old Man Han Feng Xue some face and won't bother with your junior generation. Dare to speak out again, and I'll break your legs!"

Having spoken, Hawk Bo Kong paid no further attention to the two, his eagle eyes fixing back onto Elder Six, a cold sneer playing on his lips—

Elder Six, a Divine Profound expert nonetheless, happened to wake up at that moment. But as soon as he regained consciousness, he coincidentally overheard this biting, critical string of harsh words from the Great Supreme Hawk, which instantly infuriated him so much he fainted again!

To be able to provoke a Divine Profound level expert into fainting with just a few sentences, the Great Supreme Hawk’s skill in verbal degradation was probably second only to Young Master Jun.

"Hawk Supreme, what
