Future Temple Lord?
Ye 'er was stunned for a long time. Only then did she realize something from Gu Xuan's haughty attitude.
She had known Gu Xuan for a long time. In her eyes, Gu Xuan was a gentle young master. Why would he show such an arrogant look for no reason?
The only explanation was that Young Master Xuan was fooling them!
Even Ye 'er was stunned for a long time. Those who did not know Gu Xuan would not be able to see any flaws.
Therefore, Gongsun Tu, Dongshi Fairy, and the others were stunned for a long time.
Then, they looked at each other and saw shock and suspicion in each other's eyes.
"You're the deputy temple lord? How is that possible? "
Gongsun Tu looked incredulous.
"There are two deputy temple lords in the Blood God Temple. One is the temple lord's son, and the other is the temple lord's only true disciple.
We've seen both of them. You're dreaming if you want to impersonate them! "
Dongfang Da glared at Gu Xuan.
Gu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that.
He had almost blurted out that he was the "young temple lord" of the Blood God Temple.
Fortunately, he changed his words in time and only said that he was the future temple lord of the Blood God Temple. He had used the words "future temple lord" very eloquently.
It did not matter whether the Blood God Temple had a confirmed successor or what they called the confirmed successor.
It was all a bluff anyway. As long as he did not reveal any flaws, it would be fine.
Dongfang Da, who was two meters tall and only had a head but not a brain, was also very helpful. He immediately told Gu Xuan about the next successor of the Blood God Temple.
Gu Xuan glared coldly at Gongsun Tu and Dongfang Da.
"What idiots. Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows. Our Blood God Temple is facing a great enemy. How can we only have two deputy temple lords, and both of them are in the open?
To put it bluntly, if these two people were targeted by the enemy and killed, wouldn't the Blood God Temple's legacy be in danger of being cut off?
The temple lord is a man of great talent and vision. He has already made arrangements for this.
I, Young Master Xuan, am the third deputy temple lord in the dark! "
Gongsun Tu and the others were shocked.
The third deputy temple lord in the dark?
It was true that the Palace Master was a man of great talent and strategy.
However, the two deputy hall masters were also prodigies. They had once used a method that didn't harm their quintessence and successfully faked their deaths during the saint's tribulation. They became half-step saints and shocked the entire Blood God Temple.
It could be said that the two Vice Hall Masters were both monstrous existences.
Even the Hall Master himself admitted that he was far inferior to the two Vice Hall Masters when he was the same age as them.
If they continued to grow, the two Vice Hall Masters would definitely surpass the Hall Master.
It was even possible for him to become a true saint!
Under such circumstances, was it really necessary to establish a third Deputy Palace Master?
Or in the dark?
This matter was simply too inconceivable.
However, Gu Xuan was too confident. Gongsun Tu and the others weren't sure if Gu Xuan was telling the truth or not.
What if it was true?
If they dared to question him, wouldn't they be offending the Vice Hall Master?
Not to mention offending him, Young Master Xuan seemed to be an arrogant person with a bad temper. If he lost his temper and caused internal strife, they would probably all die here.
For a moment, the eight of them fell silent.
Of course, despite the silence, they didn't slow down at all.
Soon, the group arrived at the 77th floor.
Along the way, there were martial artists going up and down the mountain.
Those who could reach this level weren't weak.
However, when they saw Gu Xuan and the others, they were still so scared that they hid at the side, not even daring to breathe loudly.
They had no choice. There were six half-step saints. Who wouldn't be scared? They would be scared to death.
As for the remaining two, one's cultivation couldn't be seen, and the other was only an upper-level saint. However, to be able to walk together with six half-step saints, they either hid their strength or had an extraordinary identity.
They were all big shots. They couldn't afford to offend them!
This was the truest thought of the martial artists along the way.
Gu Xuan and the others didn't remain silent for long.
Gongsun Tu and the others were whispering to each other secretly, as if they were discussing something.
Obviously, they still didn't believe Gu Xuan and wanted to discuss a countermeasure to confirm Gu Xuan's identity.
Ye 'er looked worried when she saw that they were constantly whispering to each other.
However, Gu Xuan still looked calm and composed, as though everything was under his control.
In fact, it was indeed so.
Gongsun Tu and the others were too stupid to be whispering to each other in front of him.
Gu Xuan had already released his soul power and enveloped the six of them.
He even used a trace of his fake divine spirit power.
Gu Xuan heard everything that the six of them said through voice transmission.
From the six's conversation, he obtained a lot of information about the Blood God Temple. Moreover, there was a lot of secret information.
Since they were whispering to each other, the six naturally didn't have any scruples. They were discussing how to confirm Gu Xuan's identity and the core matters of the Blood God Temple.
In their opinion, even if Gu Xuan was fake, he must have made a lot of preparations since he dared to impersonate the Deputy Hall Master of the Blood God Temple.
For example, Gu Xuan must have investigated the appearance of the Hall Master, the number of sub-halls in the Blood God Temple, who the leader of each sub-hall was, and who the First Elder of the Blood God Temple was.
Asking these questions to prove Gu Xuan's identity would show that they were too ignorant and stupid.
However, they didn't know that Gu Xuan didn't know any of these simple questions.
If they didn't discuss and asked these questions directly, Gu Xuan would definitely be exposed.
Fortunately, Gongsun Tu and the others didn't ask.
They were discussing whether they had to ask the core questions or important matters that only a few people knew about in the Blood God Temple.
Others might not know about these matters, but it wouldn't make sense if the Deputy Hall Master didn't know.
Gongsun Tu and the others discussed for a long time. When they thought they were foolproof, they finally stopped.
Unfortunately, they had no idea that Gu Xuan had heard every word they said from the beginning to the end.
Of course, they couldn't be blamed.
There were a total of six half-step saints communicating with each other. It was equivalent to establishing a small communication circle between the six of them. Even the two prodigious vice hall masters wouldn't be able to eavesdrop on their conversation without making a sound.
Apart from the Hall Master, no one else in the Blood God Temple could do such a thing.
On the other hand, someone who could do such a thing had to be an expert at the level of the Hall Master, a terrifying existence that could fight with a Saint Lord.
Would such a terrifying existence need to pretend to be a Deputy Hall Master?
How could Gongsun Tu and the others expect that Gu Xuan was such an exception?
His true cultivation was only at the mid-stage Profound Sage, but his combat strength was far beyond that of ordinary half-step Saints.
As for his soul power, it definitely wasn't inferior to the Hall Master they were talking about. In fact, it might even be superior!
Therefore, Gu Xuan already knew the questions that Gongsun Tu and the others wanted to ask before they even opened their mouths.
There were some questions that even the six of them didn't know, or there might be differences in their memories.
Therefore, after they confirmed the questions, they even shared the answers and verified them with each other.
Finally, when they reached the 79th level of the Southern Sky Gate Mountain, the six of them looked at each other and prepared to ask questions.
"Lord Young Master Xuan, I have a few questions in my heart that I would like to ask you to clear up.
I wonder if Young Master Xuan dares? "Gongsun Tu shook his head and looked at Gu Xuan with his hands clasped behind his back.
