Do you dare to fight?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation As soon as the Marquis spoke, the entire hall froze. Many elders were shocked. They did not expect that someone like the Marquis would speak up for a little guy, a well-known piece of trash.
"The Marquis is right." The Great Elder's expression changed. He suppressed the anger in his heart and sat down in the end.
Gu Feng's expression changed as well. He clenched his fists unwillingly and walked down with a gloomy face.
Once a Venerable level powerhouse spoke, they could not have any objections. Even if Gu Xuan was not the Young Clan Leader, he could only compromise as long as the Marquis spoke.
Gu Xuan frowned slightly and looked at the Marquis strangely. He did not expect that this person, who had nothing to do with him, would speak up for him. He thought to himself, 'This Venerable has good eyesight to be able to see that I'm not ordinary. It's not a bad idea to give him some pointers.'
Under the cold gaze of Gu Feng and the rest, Gu Xuan walked to the upper seat and sat down. He smiled at the Marquis, "Thank you, Marquis."
The Marquis replied with a smile. His hawk-like gaze swept across Gu Xuan. When he realized that Gu Xuan could remain calm under his gaze, he raised his thick eyebrows and thought to himself, 'This little guy is quite interesting. He can remain unaffected under the Great Elder of the Gu Clan. It's not a bad idea to give him some pointers.'
The Marquis would never have thought that the two of them, who looked like they could not be compared, actually had the same thoughts about each other.
Gu Duanchen, who was sitting on the left, had a calm expression on his square face. It was as if he did not feel anything even when his own son was humiliated.
However, Gu Xuan knew that this person was a ruthless person who did not hesitate to murder his own brother for his own goals.
"Now that all the important people are here, we can continue."
Gu Duanchen stood up and said loudly, "Our Gu Clan branch has been in decline for a long time. As far as I know, a hundred years ago, the Gu Clan was a super clan. Ninety years ago, it was the number one clan in the Great Barren Dynasty. Seventy years ago, it was the number one clan in the county. Now, it's only a second-rate clan in the county."
The elders looked at each other. Obviously, they did not know that the Gu Clan had such a history.
However, a strange look appeared in Gu Xuan's eyes. No one was more familiar with the Gu Clan from a hundred years ago than him.
Back then, when he defied the heavens and rose to become the Alchemy Sovereign, the Gu Clan also became a superpower and was unrivaled in the Great Desolate Dynasty.
According to the memories of this life, the so-called main family of the Gu Clan seemed to be suppressing the branch family, causing the clan to gradually weaken.
As for the so-called Gu Clan, Gu Xuan had already guessed that it was definitely a clan founded by his traitorous disciple, Gu Xingyun! Because of their strength, they were able to turn the tables and become the main family.
Thinking of this, Gu Xuan frowned. Since Gu Xingyun was suppressing the Gu family, he had to keep a low profile in the future. If Gu Xingyun suspected his true identity, he would not be able to resist at all.
Pressing his palm down, Gu Duanchen stopped the discussion below and said in a serious tone, "At this rate, it won't be long before the Gu Clan is exterminated. In order to avoid this, the successor of the Gu Clan must have sufficient talent."
The group of elders also nodded. Not to mention the past, just now, the Gu family was showing signs of decline.
"That's right, what the Clan Leader said makes sense!"
As soon as Gu Duanchen finished speaking, someone agreed. However, this person was not the Great Elder, nor was it the other elders. Instead, it was the current Young Clan Leader, Gu Xuan!
Gu Duanchen looked over and looked at Gu Xuan with a burning gaze, "You also think that this matter makes sense?"
"Of course it makes sense. The Young Clan Leader should naturally be the strongest person in the younger generation. This is reasonable. Marquis, what do you think?"
Gu Xuan spread out his hands and said with a smile. In the end, he asked the Marquis Zhen Shan.
The Marquis Zhen Shan looked at Gu Xuan suspiciously, then nodded, "That's right."
A smile appeared on Gu Xuan's face, "Then it's reasonable to let the strongest person in the younger generation of the Gu Clan be the Young Clan Leader."
The group of elders was puzzled. Soon after, they "understood" that Gu Xuan wanted to give up the title of Young Clan Leader to save his own life.
Many people looked at Gu Xuan with ridicule in their eyes. What Gu Xuan had done was indeed reasonable, but he had foolishly caused the Great Elder and Gu Feng to lose face. Even if he backed down now, would there be any good outcome?
"Alright then!"
Gu Duanchen nodded and said loudly, "Since no one has any objections, the position of Young Clan Leader will be taken by Gu Feng."
"Wait!"
At this moment, Gu Xuan stood up again and interrupted Gu Duanchen.
"Playing to the gallery!" The Great Elder snorted coldly.
Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "I only said that the strongest person in the younger generation will be the Young Clan Leader. I didn't say that it has to be Gu Feng, right?"
Many elders frowned and were disgusted with Gu Xuan. Previously, there were a few people who sympathized with Gu Xuan's experience. However, now that he had given up the position of Young Clan Leader, it was noisy to talk about such trivial matters.
Who else could be the strongest person in the younger generation of the Gu Clan other than Gu Feng?
Gu Xuan smiled, then a cold expression appeared on his face. He stood up, "Gu Feng, I want to challenge you now. Do you dare to fight me?"
"Do you dare to fight me?"
The loud voice reverberated in the hall. Many people looked at Gu Xuan as if they were looking at a fool.
Gu Xuan, a fifteen-year-old trash who had not awakened the human fire, actually dared to challenge Gu Feng? Not to mention whether he had awakened it or not, even if he had, he was only a One-Star Spiritual Level cultivator. How dare he challenge a Four-Star Spiritual Level cultivator?
"Hahaha!"
Gu Feng was stunned at first, then he laughed loudly. He suddenly stood up and said excitedly, "Alright, I accept your challenge!"
Gu Feng was overjoyed. In terms of qualifications, although his father, Gu Duanchen, was the current Clan Leader, he was only the Acting Clan Leader. It was still against the rules for him to become the Young Clan Leader. Even if he took the position of Young Clan Leader, he would be disputed.
However, Gu Xuan actually "recklessly" proposed a duel with him. That meant that Gu Xuan was digging his own grave.
Gu Duanchen raised his eyelids and could not help but sneer. He said calmly, "The clan allows the two of you to fight. The winner will be the Young Clan Leader."
Marquis Zhen Shan glanced at Gu Xuan and squinted his eyes. He had heard about Gu Xuan's past. A trash who could not even awaken the human fire at the age of fifteen actually wanted to challenge a slightly famous genius in Zhen Shan County.
Immediately, Marquis Zhen Shan frowned. Based on his intuition, Gu Xuan did not seem to be someone who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth. Could he really defeat Gu Feng?
