Chapter 131: 16) The Hidden realm!
The Supreme Elder's expression faltered slightly, a flicker of unease passing across his weathered features, his mouth dry, heart trapped in unknown sensation like a bird trapped in cage.
"I... I see a profound darkness, Young Master Gu. A darkness that seems to reach into the very depths of one's soul," The elder's voice wavered, betraying his growing discomfort.
Gu Changge's lips curled into a wry smile, his fingers drumming lightly against the hilt of his jade token at his waist as of he was trying to intimidate the Supreme Elder.
"Ah, so you sense it too - the power that lies dormant within me. A power that has been carefully honed and cultivated over the years, forged in the crucible of my ambition..."
He took a step closer to the Supreme Elder, his presence seemingly expanding to fill the entire space. "Tell me, Elder, do you truly believe that a mere Tradh like Yang Khan can stand against the might of the Gu Clan? Against the weight of my ambition? He alone?..."
Gu Changgee tapped the shoulders of Supreme Elser to show him who was in charge here,
The elder's brow furrowed, his mind racing to comprehend the implications of Gu Changge's words.
"Young Master Gu, surely you don't mean to -"
The Supreme elder haven't lived his entire life under a single room not to understand what Young Master Gu meant.
Gu Changge raised a hand, silencing the elder with a subtle gesture, winning the battle of psychological superiority within seconds.
"I mean exactly what I say, Elder. The Yang Clan has outlived its usefulness, and his refusal to cooperate with the Gu Clan can no longer be tolerated... What's more, the mighty heir of Yang Family is alone. I didn't use a secret tool to bring all you elders here to watch..." His tone was soul-chilling capable of even freezing water instantly.
"Remember a old tiger always gets feasted in by a group of hyenas... Don't be short sighted, as long as no witness remains, the Yang Family and Gu family won't get into a clash... one must master how to attack lethal and brutal without exposing oneself, battle of chess isn't won by numbers of prices but the intellect of players... A blundered queen is more useless than a guarded pawn,"
"I hope Supreme Elder can be a little useful rather than being dead meat..."
The Supreme Elder's face paled as the true gravity of Gu Changge's words sunk in.
The young master's cold logic struck him to the core, leaving him paralyzed with a sense of dread.
He felt helplessness against a brat.
"Young Master Gu, I - I cannot condone such actions. The Gu Clan has always upheld justice and righteousness. T-To orchestrate the elimination of the Yang Clan's Heir, regardless of their transgressions, would be a grievous breach of our principles!" The elder's voice wavered, betraying his mounting unease.
Not to mention, Supreme Elder cultivated the Dao of Hope and Justice, going against his principle will leave him vulnerable to his inner demon and block the path of immortality.
Gu Changge's eyes narrowed, his gaze boring into the trembling elder. "Justice and righteousness, you say?" He scoffed, his lips twisting into a sardonic smile.
"Tell me, Supreme Elder, what good have those lofty ideals done us? Have they not allowed the Yang Clan to encroach upon our rightful dominion, to flaunt their defiance in our very faces?... Not to mention, who said Yang Khan is a good guy?"
"That's right... You know it Supreme Elder... You know very well what Yang Khan had done in the Past, it's clear about his drugging and taking advantage of weak women,"
He took a step closer, his presence seemingly engulfing the elder.
"It is time we cast aside such outdated notions and embrace the realities of power and truthfulness. The Gu Clan's greatness has been shackled by our own rigid adherence to antiquated principles. It is time we free ourselves, and reclaim our rightful place at the summit of the cultivation world...
Just because he is weak doesn't mean he is good," he whispered, his words taking a toll on the elder's mind.
The elder's lips parted, but no words came forth, his mind racing to find a coherent argument against Gu Changge's ruthless logic.
"Sigh..." he sighed, feeling his Dao heart slowly getting altered.
"Supreme Elder... Just annihilate Yang Khan, and the rest will be dealt with by others," Gu Changgee once again patted his shoulders as if he were issuing a command rather than asking for a request.
Supreme Elder felt sweat flowing out his anus, his hands shaky, mind blank.
Meanwhile, Gu Changgee looked at other elders and servants of the Gu Family, issuing them a command to kill everyone present there without shedding any mercy just from his glance.
And to no surprise, other elders easily followed his ideology.
It's a cultivation world, mercy to others is harm to one's self.
The monopoly of everything is an absolute strength.
Supreme Elder clenched his fist and looked at Yang Khan with narrow eyes.
Gulp!
Yang Khan felt his balls got right knowing he was about to die.
He cussed the Young Master Gu in his heart, not knowing how he was able to change the perception of Elder.
At the same time.
[Ding! The host has used a Luck-suppressing scroll to suppress the luck of Yang Khan ]
Swoosh~ swish!
The air crackled with palpable tension as the Supreme Elder glared at Yang Khan, his eyes narrowing to slits, cold as ice.
Gu Changge's words had struck a deep chord within him, shattering his long-held notions of righteousness to weak.
Gu Changgee was correct, a weak doesn't necessarily mean right.
With a subtle flick of his wrist, the Supreme Elder summoned an orb of swirling energy, its surface rippling like the surface of a troubled pond.
"So be it, Young Master Gu. If the Yang Khan has truly fallen so far, then I suppose I have no choice but to carry out your wishes,"
The orb pulsed with an ominous light, tendrils of energy snaking out to ensnare Yang Khan.
The young heir's eyes widened in alarm as he desperately attempted to evade the attack, his body blurring with the speed of his movements.
"Junior, you cannot escape the gravity of your own transgressions!" the Supreme Elder roared, his voice laced with a hint of remorse.
The orb's tendrils lashed out, wrapping around Yang Khan's limbs and torso, binding him in place.
Yang Khan's face contorted in agony as the energy began to siphon his life force, his cultivation rapidly depleting. "Curse you, Gu Changge! This is not... over..." he managed to gasp out, his words punctuated by the gurgling of blood.
Meanwhile, the other Gu Clan elders and servants sprang into action, their bodies infused with arcane energies as they engaged the onlooking cultivators.
Blasts of elemental magic crackled through the air, earth rupturing, and lightning shattering the very fabric of reality.
Everyone here needs to die... Some things have never happened if no one saw it.
