"Gu Xuan!"
Chen Zihan panicked and hurriedly called out. She had already been framed by these elders. Now that Gu Xuan had spoken, there was no way she could clear her name.
Chen Zihan struggled to break free from Gu Xuan's arms, but her strength was too weak. How could she shake Gu Xuan?
Su Tai sneered, "Chen Zihan, even Gu Xuan himself has admitted it. What's the point of acting?"
Looking at the elders' unfriendly faces, Chen Zihan's face turned pale. She had never thought that Gu Xuan would do such a thing after she had helped him so much.
Seeing Chen Zihan's expression, Gu Xuan frowned and shouted, "I don't know what you're afraid of. You're the leader of the Beichen Trading Company, and they're just elders. Why do you care so much about the opinions of these old things?"
"What did you say?!" Su Tai's face was filled with anger.
The group of high elders also had unfriendly expressions. What kind of status did they have? Even the Mountain Guarding Marquis had to address them as' high elders'. Yet, this brat who was still wet behind his ears actually dared to call them 'old bastards' in front of them.
"What? Am I wrong?" Gu Xuan glanced at the elders of the Beichen Trading Company and sneered, "The so-called elders' group is just a way for you to retire in name. It's fine if you know what's good for you, but you're pointing fingers and giving you face. You're elders. If I don't give you face, who do you think you are?"
"The leader arranges the selection of guest elders. That's the leader's right. Whether he arranges lovers or fools, it's none of your business."
Gu Xuan's scolding made the corners of many senior statesmen's mouths twitch. Every one of them was a prominent figure in the outside world. Those who fought with them were also people who valued their reputation. At most, they would mock and ridicule them. However, it was the first time that someone had scolded them like Gu Xuan.
"Gu Xuan, don't be rash!" Chen Zihan's expression changed as well. These Doyens might not have any authority, but they still had some influence. More importantly, these people were already Black Grade martial artists under the accumulation of large amounts of medicinal pills. The strongest, Su Tai, had even reached Black Grade Two Stars. If these people were to make a move, how could Gu Xuan possibly withstand it?
Gu Xuan shook his head. "Respect is earned by oneself, not given by others. What's the use of keeping a bunch of dogs who don't do anything but give orders?"
"How dare you! I want to see what ability a little bastard like you has to be able to become a Guest Elder! "Su Tai was unable to restrain his anger, and the aura of a Black Rank 2 star burst out from his body.
The group of elders also released their auras. After these people had nothing to do, they placed great importance on cultivation. Although they didn't have much talent, they relied on the accumulation of medicinal pills to push themselves to the Profound level.
"Get out!"
Gu Xuan laughed coldly. His right hand continued to hold Chen Zihan as he waved his left hand. A majestic force surged out and swept towards the group of Grand Elders.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
A few Grand Elders were swept by the force of the palm. They didn't have the slightest ability to resist and were sent flying, smashing a pile of tables and chairs into pieces.
Su Tai hadn't even made a move, but his expression had already changed. They originally thought that with the strength of a Profound level, he should be powerful. They didn't expect that a martial artist with the accumulation of medicinal pills would be so weak.
"It's your turn."
Gu Xuan looked at Su Tai, the "strongest" in the group of Grand Elders, and said indifferently.
"Run!"
Although Su Tai was a Black Rank 2 star, he didn't have the courage to make a move. However, after running for a few steps, he felt a majestic force binding him. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free. It was as if he was pinched by an invisible hand. Then, he was heavily slammed against the wall with a terrified roar.
"I really don't understand. You guys are so weak. Where did you get the courage to fight me?" Gu Xuan looked at the group of Grand Elders who were rolling on the ground and said indifferently.
"Gu Xuan! If you dare to injure any of us, the Beichen Trading Company will definitely not let you off! "Su Tai struggled to get up and roared at Gu Xuan.
"Oh?" Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows and flicked his finger.
Pu!
A Qi Sword shot out and instantly pierced through Su Tai's chest.
Su Tai's eyes widened in disbelief. He was a Grand Elder of the Beichen Trading Company. Gu Xuan actually dared to kill him?
The other Grand Elders' faces were also filled with fear. Obviously, they didn't dare to believe that Gu Xuan would make a move so decisively. Wasn't he afraid of the consequences?
"If an ordinary person killed you guys, they might be hunted down by the Beichen Trading Company. However, I'm a Guest Elder. Even if I kill all of you, it will only be an internal battle. If any of you want to doubt my courage, you can try!" Gu Xuan said coldly.
Seeing Gu Xuan's overbearing means, Chen Zihan was also shocked. However, she wasn't an ordinary woman. She immediately calmed her mind and took a step forward. She said seriously, "No matter what happens, I will stand on Gu Xuan's side."
Chen Zihan's words extinguished their last hope. It was hard to imagine what kind of power Chen Zihan had behind her back to be able to sit in this position at such a young age. They might be able to use their status to make things difficult for her. However, if they really wanted to fight with her, they could only say that they were overestimating themselves.
Gu Xuan glanced at everyone and said indifferently, "I'll give you a chance now. Withdraw from the Grand Elder Group and I can give you a chance to retire. Otherwise, you will end up like Su Tai!"
Gu Xuan walked to the front of one of the Grand Elders. A Qi Sword shot out from the Grand Elder's ear. The Grand Elder was so frightened that his body trembled. "Are you willing to withdraw from the Grand Elder Group?"
That Grand Elder glanced at Su Tai. Although he was extremely reluctant, he still said in a deep voice, "Yes."
"What about you guys?" Gu Xuan glanced at the others.
"I'm willing."
"I'm willing."
…
The Grand Elders all compromised. Gu Xuan nodded his head in satisfaction and said to Chen Zihan, "Bring them to deal with the retirement matters."
Chen Zihan nodded. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
There were countless people who were stronger than Gu Xuan. Not to mention the entire Steadfast Mountain Prefecture City, even among the younger generation, there were a few who were stronger than Gu Xuan.
However, only Gu Xuan had the guts to do so. Previously, she had also recruited a guest elder who had the strength of the late stage of the Profound Rank. However, in front of these elders, he was so scared that he was submissive. Only then was he "invited" away by her.
The retirement of a few Grand Elders also caused a commotion in the Beichen Trading Company. These people had always flaunted their seniority and were used to ordering people around. They all viewed the Grand Elder position as more important than anything else. Now, they actually wanted to retire. This was simply unbelievable.
And all of this seemed to be the doing of that Grand Elder in his teens. This also made some people completely convinced of that Grand Elder's strength.
However, although the people in the trading company knew that there was such a Grand Elder, they didn't know who it was. However, based on this series of actions, they guessed that this person should be extremely strong.
In Steadfast Mountain Prefecture City, there was only one person who was strong and young. Willow Deity!
This mysterious and domineering Grand Elder title was also overshadowed by Willow Deity.
