Chapter 61: Declaration of War!
🕑 Added 2023-05-24 15:29:06 +0000 UTC"This guy, how come I didn't notice his strong ability to escape before?" murmured Hun Tiandi as he watched Gu Yuan flee.
He had no intention of chasing after him. As a late-stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng, Gu Yuan's attempts to escape would be futile to pursue.
Moreover...
Chasing after him might lead to falling into Gu Yuan's trap.
"Let's disperse!" Hun Tiandi spoke first and left.
The Four Demon Saints followed suit. They had thought they could completely trap Gu Yuan here, but unexpectedly, he managed to escape.
...
Haotian Mansion!
In the courtyard, after she shattered the jade token, Gu Xun’er had been waiting. She waited for her father to come and save her, like a heroic figure coming to her rescue. To free her from the clutches of "Hun Xiu."
But... The jade token shattered, and from the initial anticipation, as time passed without any movement, she grew increasingly uneasy.
In the end!
"Waa..." Gu Xun’er cried.
She sat on the ground and burst into tears.
At this moment...
She understood.
Gu Xun’er completely believed what "Hun Xiu" had said before. She had been abandoned. Her father, her family had abandoned her. Her belief in her heart completely collapsed.
The promised hope of the family! The professed love was all fake.
Fake!
"Wuwu..." The more she thought about it, the sadder Gu Xun’er became. After all, she was just a child. And now she was bearing everything she shouldn't have to bear.
Hun Tiandi watched the helpless and crying Gu Xun’er without saying a word. In his view, he had achieved the desired outcome, and it was time for him to leave.
After a while, when Gu Xun’er lifted her head, it was already dark outside. The sky was adorned with stars, and moonlight spilled over.
Gu Xun’er's eyes were red, tear streaks marking her face as she tightly clenched her little fists.
"The Gu Clan, father... I never expected you to be such people. I, Gu Xun’er, will never return to the Gu Clan!"
Gu Xun’er had fantasized about being rescued by the Gu Clan, by her father, and returning to them. Then she would strive to become stronger and take revenge on "Hun Xiu."
But now...
Gu Xun’er knew she had been abandoned, completely discarded by her father and the clan.
Her desire for revenge seemed even more distant. At this moment, thoughts of revenge methods given to her by Hun Huan emerged in Gu Xun’er's mind.
...
Hun Tiandi left a clone to stay in the Soul Clan and then departed.
In his opinion, Gu Yuan wouldn't come back to the Soul Clan in the short term. Even if he did, it wouldn't matter. With the presence of the clone, he could rush back at the first moment.
However, next time, if Gu Yuan dares to appear in the Soul Realm, he won't be able to leave as easily as this time.
Hun Tiandi traveled across the continent.
...
Back in the Gu Clan, Gu Yuan was furious.
Thinking of Hun Tiandi's threat, his face darkened with an ugly expression. He muttered, "No, I can't let Xun’er stay in the Soul Clan any longer."
Who was Hun Tiandi? Gu Yuan knew it very well.
He was a cunning person who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
How dare he threaten him like that! This meant that if he let this continue, there was a real possibility that his beloved Xun’er would be...
Thinking of this, Gu Yuan felt a pang in his heart. He felt helpless and frustrated. After all, Gu Xun’er was his only daughter!
She was the hope of the Gu Clan. If she was truly destroyed, the Gu Clan would be completely finished.
No, Gu Yuan absolutely would not allow his daughter to be destroyed. Absolutely not.
Whoosh!
Gu Yuan waved his hand, and numerous light symbols pierced through the air.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
...
Before long, more and more powerful members of the Gu Clan appeared in the great hall, all gazing up at the gloomy Gu Yuan seated high above.
A sense of unease washed over the Gu Clan's strong members. They remained silent, their clan leader's displeased expression indicating that something significant was about to happen.
Otherwise, Gu Yuan wouldn't be looking so grim.
The Three Immortals of the Gu Clan arrived.
Not only them, but even the leader of the Gu Clan's Black Annihilation Army, Gu Lie, also stepped into the great hall.
The Gu Clan's Dou Shengs gathered in the hall, a rare occurrence after many years. Everyone's expression was extremely solemn.
With so many Gu Clan Dou Shengs gathered, combined with Gu Yuan's demeanor, anyone could sense that a major event was imminent. The atmosphere in the hall was eerie and oppressive
Gu Yuan remained silent, and no one dared to speak or approach him at this moment. Everyone patiently waited for their clan leader to speak.
...
Gu Yuan didn't keep everyone waiting for long. He coldly swept his gaze around the room and spoke, "I believe everyone here is aware of the matter regarding my daughter, Gu Xun’er, being captured by the Soul Clan. Today, I will state my position."
"Today, we must come up with a plan," Gu Yuan's gaze swept over the many powerful individuals present, his eyes icy.
His meaning was clear. If a plan wasn't presented today, Gu Yuan would become impatient.
Gu Lie, the leader of the Black Annihilation Army, stood up. He was unequivocally supportive of Gu Yuan, standing on his side.
Regardless of the decision Gu Yuan make, he would support it.
In Gu Lie's view, the fact that Gu Yuan had gathered all the Dou Shengs of the Gu Clan today meant that something significant had happened.
Otherwise, their usually composed clan leader wouldn't reveal such an expression.
Gu Lie asked, "I wonder what the clan leader has in mind?"
As Gu Lie's words fell, a tense silence filled the hall.
The numerous elders in the great hall looked at Gu Yuan, wondering what he meant.
Gu Yuan spoke in a deep voice, "The intentions of the Soul Clan are clear. If they want to exchange for Gu Xun’er, we can only offer the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade in return."
"No..."
"Absolutely not! The Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade contains the secret to becoming a Dou Di. We cannot trade it away to save Gu Xun’er."
The one who spoke was none other than Gu Ling, one of the Three Immortals of the Gu Clan.
Many powerful members of the Gu Clan nodded in agreement, clearly acknowledging Gu Ling's words.
However, they soon sensed something and their expressions turned grim, filled with a sense of gravity.
They saw Gu Yuan's displeased gaze directed at Gu Ling. The aura emanating from Gu Yuan's body was unrestrained, like a fierce primordial beast charging toward Gu Ling.
"This!"
Feeling the terrifying aura coming toward him, Gu Ling's expression remained unchanged.
An equally powerful aura surged from his body, resisting the horrifying aura emanating from Gu Yuan.
"Clan Leader, what are you doing?!"
Gu Ling's expression turned incredibly unsightly.
From the aura emanating from Gu Yuan, Gu Ling knew that Gu Yuan was serious.
"Hmph!"
Gu Yuan coldly glanced at Gu Ling, snorting disdainfully.
The imposing aura on his body didn't diminish but instead grew stronger.
Gu Yuan slowly stood up from his position, exuding an overwhelming dominance.
He said in a deep voice, "Very well, we won't sacrifice the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade. I'll give you another option. Immediately gather the entire Gu Clan army; I'm declaring war on the Soul Clan!"
