Gu Zhen instinctively pressed both hands on the armrests of the chair and flew backward several zhang along with the chair.
Only then did he find an opportunity to tilt his head and dodge the lethal sword.
Even so, the sword energy grazing his cheek still scraped his face painfully.
“Gu Yao!
Have you gone fucking mad!?” Gu Zhen, who had flown to the corner and fallen along with the chair in the council hall, climbed up awkwardly and cursed loudly.
“Defiling my young miss!
Only death awaits!” Gu Yao said and continued to thrust his sword forward.
“You idiot!…” Gu Zhen had no time to curse.
Gu Yao’s dark green Bishui Black Sword had already arrived.
In panic, he summoned his own sword and the two clashed ding-ding-dang-dang for over ten moves.
Seeing that every sword from Gu Yao was all attack and no defense, fighting as if staking his life, Gu Zhen could not help but feel uneasy.
If it were a spar, he would have no pressure at all, but Gu Yao was now completely frenzied, making him truly difficult to handle for the moment.
“Boom!” The sword energy from Gu Yao’s urgent thrust was deflected by Gu Zhen and poured out toward his back, instantly blasting several cracks in the several-chi-large door of the Ancient Clan council hall, then smashing the entire door outward.
Gu Zhen took advantage of the momentum and broke out through the door together, leaped upward dozens of zhang, and stood firm in the air.
“You fucking have time to fight me over the young miss, but have you thought about what Gu Hua will do to your young miss tomorrow??
Don’t you know what kind of person that guy is?” With Gu Zhen’s fierce rebuke, the madly attacking Gu Yao seemed to be locked in space and abruptly stopped in mid-air.
The Bishui Black Sword, which had been overflowing with killing intent, slowly lowered.
Fortunately, the council hall was in a remote location; otherwise, countless people in the Ancient Clan would have seen the two elders fighting to the death in the air.
“Gu Yao, I think you are really living in a dream.
We cultivators go against heaven, yet you insist on following your heart and acting like some infatuated fool.
Has the young miss ever looked at you once?
Hundreds of years of cultivation, I think you cultivated it all onto a dog!!” Gu Yao’s body shook upon hearing this.
He knew Gu Zhen was right.
The young miss would probably never look at him more because of his infatuation in this life.
Gu Yao himself understood this, but for hundreds of years he had refused to face the issue.
As for Gu Hua, Gu Yao also knew Gu Zhen’s words were true.
Gu Hua was the oldest battle saint in the Ancient Clan besides the original Heavenly Elder Council and a few Supreme Elders.
He was probably over one thousand two hundred years old now.
He had previously been the chief of the Ancient Clan’s Punishment Hall, renowned for his cruel, perverted, and cold-blooded methods.
Any cultivator who fell into his hands would consider dying peacefully a luxury.
Rumors said most cultivators released from his hands ended up insane.
Although he belonged to the Ancient Clan, he was skilled in the soul path and adept at using various despicable means to achieve his goals.
Born poor, his cultivation talent was not high in the clan, but his Dao heart was extremely stable.
He remained unmoved even if Mount Tai collapsed before him.
He was cunning and changeable.
Previously, when he killed Soul Star in the Soul Realm and then explained himself before Soul Emperor for Gu Yao, although it was seen through, it fully displayed his meticulous mind and ruthless methods.
Before the great war, there were even rumors that Gu Hua had captured a branch hall master of the Soul Hall and learned many unknown methods from the Soul Clan.
Whether the rumors were true was unknown, but after that, Gu Hua became even more gloomy and his actions even more bizarre, which all Ancient Clan members saw clearly.
What kind of outrageous things would such a person do when encountering the unconscious Xun’er?
Thinking of this, Gu Yao’s heart thumped again.
Then Gu Zhen’s voice sounded in his ear again: “We cultivators have mortal flesh bodies, which are all external objects.
What matters is that the Dao heart must not be lost!
Soul Emperor’s methods are extremely insidious.
He is probably deliberately making us fight internally, suspect each other, and ultimately exhaust ourselves!
Gu Yao, you are such a smart person.
Can’t you see through this?” Seeing that Gu Yao had stopped and his killing intent was gradually disappearing, Gu Zhen quickly continued to persuade.
As he spoke, Gu Hua and Gu Xing, who had left earlier, sensed the commotion in the council hall from afar and quickly returned.
Gu Zhen glanced at the two from afar, ignored them, and continued: “You and I have both seen Soul Emperor’s Ten Thousand Spirits Soul Locking Emperor Array.
It is impossible to break.
The most critical thing now is to wake the young miss.
As for the means, the four of us can each use our own methods.
I also tell you that the young miss has the Golden Emperor’s Burning Heaven Flame protecting her body.
No one can take away her chastity!” Gu Zhen’s reaction was extremely fast.
These words were said both for Gu Yao to hear and for the returning Gu Xing and Gu Hua to hear.
On one hand, it dispelled Gu Yao’s worries; on the other, it deliberately informed the other two not to have any improper thoughts.
“The young miss has already fallen to such a state, yet instead of thinking about how to rescue her, you draw your sword against your own people.
Gu Yao, this time I consider that you love the young miss and acted out of urgency, so I do not blame you.
But if there is a next time, I, Gu Zhen, will fight you to the death!” Gu Zhen’s words both resolved and struck, said beautifully.
In terms of cultivation, the two were almost equal, but in terms of sharp mind, he was countless levels above Gu Yao, this virgin blockhead.
