What Do You Call a Benevolent and Reasonable Person in Xianxia? An Impossibility! (BTTH)

In the ancient world, the ancient clan leader Gu Yuan stood in the main hall, and beside him, in addition to the four elders, there were also three old men with phoenix-immortal Taoist bones.

The three supreme elders of the ancient clan, the three immortals of the ancient clan, hold a very high status in the ancient clan, and their strength is all in the middle stage of eight-star Dou Sheng.

"It's rare for the clan leader to ask us to discuss something." Gu Dao, one of the three immortals of the ancient clan, stroked his gray beard and frowned slightly. "I wonder what the clan leader wants to talk about?"

"Please wait a moment. I'll ask Guilie to go and invite that adult. We'll talk after they arrive."

Gu Yuan spoke softly, and Gu Dao was stunned.

That adult?

Then Gu Dao's figure trembled slightly. The only person who could be called the adult by Gu Yuan was that person.

At this time, heavy and slow footsteps were heard outside the hall. Everyone looked and saw an old woman walking in slowly with her hands behind her back and a hunched back. Gu Lie followed behind her with a respectful look on his face.

The four elders and the three immortals of the ancient clan all bowed respectfully to the old woman. Gu Yuan, the patriarch of the ancient clan, even took the initiative to step forward, came in front of the old woman and bowed his head respectfully.

"senior."

The former clan leader of the Ancient Clan, Gu Cuiliu, is a mid-level nine-star Dou Sheng!

"Humph, it's rare that you would take the initiative to call me, an old lady, to come."

Gu Cuiliu snorted lightly. The only time Gu Cuiliu and Gu Yuan met in these hundreds of years was when Xiao Yan entered the Heavenly Tomb. That time, it was Gu Cuiliu who took the initiative to find Gu Yuan.

Because of the Xiao clan's affairs, Gu Yuan has been too embarrassed to see the former clan leader who entrusted him with the position of clan leader for thousands of years. He has always felt that he has failed to live up to her trust.

"Tell me what's the reason for disturbing my peace. If it's some trivial matter, don't blame me for knocking your head."

Gu Cuiliu's words to Gu Yuan were very rude, and neither the elders of the Gu clan, the three immortals of the Gu Dao, nor Gu Lie were surprised at all.

In the entire Gu clan, she is the only one who dares to teach Gu Yuan a lesson so openly, and Gu Cuiliu is indeed qualified.

Gu Yuan was not angry at all and answered in a humble manner.

"The day before yesterday, Xiao Yan sent a letter to the Ancient Clan, inviting me to go to the Tianhe League to sit down and discuss with the clan leaders of the Lei, Yan, and Yao clans."

"Hmm?" Gu Cuiliu's brows froze for a moment, then furrowed tightly, "What happened?"

"Three days ago, the Thunder Clan, Medicine Clan, Flame Clan and Tianhe Alliance were attacked by the Soul Clan at the same time."

“What?!” Anger suddenly appeared on Gu Cuiliu’s face, and she started to curse, “I told you that the Soul Clan’s bunch of bastards have been trying to do bad things! Look, they finally can’t help it!”

Then Gu Cuiliu showed worry in her eyes and asked quickly.

"Where's Qinghan? How's Qinghan?"

Without waiting for Gu Yuan to speak, Gu Lin on the side took the initiative to comfort him.

"Please rest assured, my daughter is safe and sound. Thank you for your concern."

"Is that so..."

Gu Cuiliu breathed a sigh of relief. She really treated Gu Qinghan as her own granddaughter. At this time, Gu Yuan continued.

"Xiao Yan invited me this time to discuss how to deal with the Soul Clan, but according to my speculation, Xiao Yan may have other purposes."

"Another purpose?"

Gu Cuiliu's old eyes flickered slightly, and she recalled some details of her time with Xiao Yan in her mind. She suddenly realized something and spoke.

"I see. That child's goal from the beginning was this."

"Hmm? What are you talking about?"

Gu Yuan was slightly stunned. He just guessed that Xiao Yan had other purposes, but after hearing what Gu Cuilan said, it seemed that he already understood what Xiao Yan was going to do?

Gu Cuilan stood with her hands behind her back, a smile on her old face and admiration in her eyes.

"If I am not mistaken, that child is going to make the Eight Clans disappear forever."

Um?!!

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

Let the eight tribes disappear forever? Ridiculous!

It is true that Xiao Yan’s strength and status are now enough to be on par with the Eight Clans, but it is far from enough to make the Eight Clans disappear forever!

"Senior, I know you are very satisfied with Xiao Yan, but isn't what you said a bit unrealistic? Now the other eight clans are trying to curry favor with Xiao Yan, but if Xiao Yan really attacks them, he will only bring about his own destruction!"

Gu Lie said this with a little excitement, but as soon as he finished speaking, Gu Cuilan glanced at him with contempt.

"Look at you little brats, you're always shouting for war and killing. Do you think Xiao Yan is as barbaric as you?"

"Forehead......"

Gu Lie was suddenly speechless, secretly complaining in his heart.

Listen to Gu Cuiliu, who is so biased. She calls him little bastard and calls Xiao Yan "kid". The difference in treatment is too obvious.

Gu Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, as if he understood something.

"Senior, what do you mean..."

"That child's goal is to make the concept of the Eight Clans disappear. If I remember correctly, that child asked the children of the Eight Clans to live in Tianhe Alliance a few years ago, right?"

Gu Cuiliu asked this, and Gu Yuan nodded slightly.

"Yes, at that time, Xiao Yan asked the eight tribes to send their own people to temporarily join the Tianhe Alliance on the grounds that each tribe should send people to see for themselves whether the Tianhe Alliance is worthy of forming an alliance."

"Hehe~ temporarily?" Gu Cuiliu narrowed her eyes and laughed out loud, "Now if you ask those disciples of the eight clans who joined the Tianhe League to go back, I'm afraid none of them will be willing to go back."

When these words were spoken, everyone instinctively wanted to refute, but the words were stuck in their throats.

Gu Cuiliu's words were just her guess, but it did happen. Before, Xiao Yan was trapped in the Demon Fire Space and his life and death were unknown. The three tribes of Lei, Yan, and Yao all concluded that the Tianhe Alliance was no longer worthy of being an alliance and wanted to call their family members back.

However, they were all rejected in the end. No one returned to their family and they were determined to stay in the Tianhe Alliance.

"The history of the Eight Clans is too long. A long history means antiquity and rigidity." Gu Cuiliu put her hands behind her back and said leisurely, "I've heard Qinghan mention the current appearance of Zhongzhou before. The times are changing too fast now, especially with the efforts of Xiao Yan, it's unimaginable."

Gu Cuiliu's old eyes swept across the crowd sharply and asked lightly.

"I'm just asking you a question. Apart from being able to obtain cultivation resources that are hard to obtain in the outside world, what other benefits are there to staying in this ancient clan that is known as the strongest?"

"Isn't this... enough?"

Gu Lie frowned and asked back, "Cultivation resources? How many people in Zhongzhou want the cultivation resources of the eight clans? Why do they become so insignificant in Gu Cuiliu's mouth?"

Gu Cuiliu was not annoyed by this. She looked at Gu Lie and asked.

"So what can you do after you improve your strength?"

"Can...uh?"

Gu Lie was suddenly stunned, and his mind was suddenly in chaos.

Yes, what else can you do after improving your strength?

Gu Lie knew that there were many things he could do with his strength, but if he really asked him to say it, he couldn't think of what he could do.

Gu Cuiliu was not surprised by Gu Lie's silence.

This is the biggest difference between Xiao Yan and everyone else.

For Xiao Yan, strength is always a means to achieve a goal. What he really wants is never to become the strongest person in the world. If one day Xiao Yan really stands at the top of all living beings, it is also for what he wanted to do from the beginning.

Gu Cuiliu looked at Gu Yuan and asked in a deep voice.

"What do you want to do?"

"Do you agree to let the ancient tribe disappear in the future, or do you want to stick to your own territory and become a local tyrant?"

"Don't think about hiding. Xiao Yan has been setting up this trap for such a long time, and now it's time to close the net. Unless you destroy the Tianhe Alliance and kill Xiao Yan now, it's only a matter of time before the Ancient Clan disappears."

Gu Cuiliu narrowed her eyes and spoke slowly.

"My Lord, what is your choice?"

At this moment, the ancient clan hall was extremely quiet, and even a pin drop could be heard clearly.

Gu Lie and the others said nothing, just staring at Gu Yuan who was standing there in silence.

There is no doubt that Gu Cuiliu's issue involves the future of the ancient clan, and they are not qualified to express any opinions.

The only one who can make the decision is Gu Yuan.

Under the gaze of everyone, Gu Yuan slowly closed his eyes, and scenes flashed through his mind.

It finally froze on the heart-wrenching pain he felt after the demise of the Xiao clan a thousand years ago.

He regretted not helping Xiao Xuan. The pain brought by this regret could not be erased even after a thousand years.

In a trance, the scenery in Gu Yuan's mind pushed forward again, pushing back the conversation he had with Xiao Xuan when he went to Zhongzhou for training before he became the patriarch.

In this memory, Xiao Xuan was holding a wine glass and looking at him with confusion.

"Huh? How come you're as forthright as me? That's a really weird question you ask."

“Okay, okay, don’t be so serious. If you really want to be that kind of person, you only need to do one thing.”

"No matter what happens, no matter what choice you face, don't consider the consequences, just choose the one you think you will never regret."

"As for what you will never regret? That depends on you. Who can say for sure?"

After a long time, Gu Yuan slowly opened his eyes. The chaos in his eyes had disappeared, replaced by a clear light.

Gu Yuan's eyes met Gu Cuiliu's and he answered very seriously.

"I... agree to let the Ancients disappear forever."

These words shocked Gu Lie and others. Gu Cuiliu looked at him and narrowed her eyes slightly.

"You won't regret it?"

“I won’t regret it.”

Gu Yuan's words were extremely firm, and both his eyes and attitude showed his determination.

After a long time, a look of satisfaction appeared in Gu Cuiliu's eyes.

"You kid, you finally woke up after a thousand years." Gu Cuiliu smiled, and her attitude towards Gu Yuan was much more relaxed. She raised her old hand and waved it gently, "I'll take care of you in the clan, you can go to the Tianhe League."

"Um."

Gu Yuan nodded solemnly, and then changed the subject.

"But before I go, I have something to deal with." Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Gu Yang, one of the four elders of the ancient clan, "Elder Gu Yang."

"Yes, what do you want, Patriarch?"

Gu Yang asked respectfully with a fist clasped, his tone also full of doubt.

However, the next second, a terrifying invisible pressure instantly pressed down on him, causing Gu Yang to kneel on the ground without control.

“Patriarch?!”

Gu Lin and the others all looked at Gu Yuan in astonishment. Gu Cuiliu frowned at first, and then suddenly realized something. Gu Yuan did not explain himself, but glanced sideways at Gu Lie.

"Gulie, talk to the elders."

"Yes." Gu Lie nodded gently, looked at Gu Lin and the others and said, "Recently, Gu Yang has been avoiding everyone's eyes and ears, frequently going in and out of various secret areas of the tribe, and even sneaked into the Heavenly Tomb."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Yang's forehead was immediately covered with cold sweat, but he still stiffened his neck to defend himself.

"As an elder, what's wrong with me inspecting the safety of important locations within the clan?"

"Indeed, this reason is quite convincing." Guile said, with a gleam in his eyes. "If you are not looking for something, then this reason will be even more convincing."

After Gu Lie finished speaking, Gu Yang's face suddenly turned pale, and Gu Yuan spoke lightly.

"I gave the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade to Xiao Yan a few years ago, so you naturally can't find it."

Buzz! ! !

Gu Yang's head exploded with a buzzing sound, and then his eyes rolled back and he collapsed to the ground. Gu Lie looked stern and immediately squatted down to check. After a while, he looked up and shook his head at Gu Yuan.

"Dead."

"Hmph... Most likely the Soul Clan has set up some secret technique in his body that will self-destruct if discovered."

Gu Yuan was not surprised by this result and turned to look at Gu Lin.

"Elder Gulin, issue a notice to the clan, identifying Gu Yang as the Soul Clan's traitor. He has now committed suicide out of fear of crime. It was also because of him that the commander-in-chief Gu Qinghan and others defected."

"Yes." Gulin responded in a deep voice, and then reacted, "Chief, this means Qinghan and the others..."

"Ah, their sentence can be revoked."

Gu Yuan smiled slightly, Gu Lin's eyes were full of excitement, and he nodded heavily again.

At this moment, the ancient clan suddenly became turbulent, and the huge tremor affected the entire ancient world.

This is? !

The faces of Gu Yuan and others suddenly changed. They instantly disappeared from the hall and came to the sky, looking at the broken barrier in the distance. Their faces became extremely ugly.

The ancient world has been destroyed!

The next second, a huge crowd of people poured out from the gap. Everyone could recognize at a glance that those people were all members of the Soul Clan without exception!

"Gulie!"

"exist!"

Gu Lie immediately responded to Gu Yuan's call in a solemn voice. Gu Yuan's face was solemn and he gave orders in a deep voice.

"Immediately lead the Black Annihilation Army to repel the invaders and ensure the safety of the ancient people as much as possible!"

"Yes, sir!"

Gu Lie's figure suddenly disappeared, and then Gu Yuan flashed towards the gap, and came to the soul army that poured into the ancient world. With just a wave of his hand, he wiped out thousands of people without a trace!

This was because Gu Yuan took into consideration the other ancient tribesmen around and did not use his full strength, otherwise this attack would have directly turned this area into nothingness.

Just as Gu Yuan raised his hand to attack again, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. Gu Yuan looked at the other party's dark figure, burning like a raging flame, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then horror appeared in his eyes.

"Could it be that you are... Void Devouring Flame? You actually joined the Soul Clan?"

"Haha~ Chief Gu has good eyesight." Xuwu Tunyan laughed softly and slowly raised his hand, "Although I want to fight with Chief Gu, but with my current strength, I'm afraid I can't deal with you."

"But please don't worry, Patriarch Gu."

Void Devouring Flame grinned, and a space gate slowly opened from behind it.

"I have found a very suitable opponent for you."

Then, under Gu Yuan's gaze, a figure with disheveled hair and holding a scarlet sword walked out of the space gate. His eyes were lifeless. He was obviously only an eight-star mid-stage Dou Sheng, but he made Gu Yuan inexplicably feel trembling all over.

The next second, the figure turned his gaze to Gu Yuan, opened his mouth and let out a shrill roar!

“Ouch!!!”

Mad dog, Nalan Yanran! ! !
