When Su Xin made his move, Xuan Ku was standing beside Kong Yuan, but he showed no intention of intervening.
Considering Kong Yuan had just spoken out of turn and taken advantage of his seniority to lecture others, it was time to teach him and the other Kong-Character Generation Martial Artists a lesson.
It wasn't until the sword was already in front of Kong Yuan that Xuan Ku prepared to act.
He intended to teach Kong Yuan a lesson, but he couldn't let the King of Chujiang actually kill Kong Yuan; where would that leave the face of the Shaolin Temple?
Although the Shaolin Temple had lost much face already, allowing an outsider to kill a Martial Artist of the Temple at Sun God Realm at the gates of the Shaolin Temple would be an immense loss of face.
