Chapter 1259

And the old man called Gu Qing, upon hearing the inquiry of that Seven-Star Peak Battle Saint, immediately gave a bitter laugh.

He knew he would surely be scolded this time.

But facing his inquiry, he still cupped his hands and said: "Senior Gu Dao, we were ordered by the clan chief to come out and look for the young lady, and after sensing with the Soul Jade Pendant we found that the young lady was imprisoned by this Lin Feng. When we asked him to release the young lady, this person not only refused to follow our way, but also acted unreasonably and attacked us, finally injuring the junior and capturing her."

"Gu Qing, you too have grown under my watch, but I never expected you to become more and more childish as you live!"

However, before he finished speaking, the old man called Gu Dao immediately scolded: "That brat is only a Four-Star Battle Saint, equal in rank to you two, yet you tell me that in a two-on-one situation, your two Four-Star Battle Saints—one injured, one captured. You, have you lived up to the clan's cultivation over these thousands of years?"

As he spoke, Gu Dao's face also showed a look of frustration at failing to mold talent.

To be honest, these two Gu Qings have also grown under his watch, and he still has confidence in their talent.

As long as the opponent steadily advances, they can basically replace these old-timers later and become the new Three Immortals of the Ancient Clan.

As a result, losing face like this this time will, when the news spreads back to the clan, surely cause many rumors and gossip.

By then, if these rumors cause the two to develop huge psychological obstacles, it will surely be detrimental to their cultivation.

"Ah"

Thinking of this, Gu Dao couldn't help but let out a helpless sigh.

But immediately after, he turned his head, gazed at Lin Feng in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "Kid, although you defeating Gu Qing and the other surprised me greatly, you, a four-star Dou Sheng, will no matter what be unable to retreat unscathed from my hands. I advise you to honestly release the two ladies, then let me abolish your Dou Qi, go to my Ancient Clan's ancestral hall, kneel there until death, to atone for the sin of acting against my Ancient Clan's people."

While speaking, the former looked at Lin Feng with an indifferent gaze, as if he were looking at a corpse.

After all, the opponent attacked their Ancient Clan's people in front of everyone; if they don't give the opponent a proper lesson, people will later think their Ancient Clan is easy to bully.

Moreover, Lin Feng had previously killed people of their Ancient Clan; they had long wanted to act against this culprit, but because that time they themselves had actively sent experts to interfere in other families' internal affairs, which was them seeking trouble, it was inappropriate to send experts surpassing four-star Dou Sheng to regain face.

But now, the opponent first attacked their Ancient Clan's young lady, and this matter is not within the restriction that prohibits four-star Dou Sheng from acting.

After all, nobody is stupid; it's impossible to set a rule that one's own family members being harmed by the opponent forbids retaliation.

"Hehe, you old immortal, you really have a big mouth. As soon as you open it you demand lives; no wonder you rely on plundering the resources of the Dou Qi Continent to maintain your current lifestyle of having clothes handed to you and food brought to your mouth, a 'good' family."

Hearing Gu Dao's voice laced with a hint of killing intent, Lin Feng immediately snorted coldly and bluntly met him head-on.

"You brat, since you insist on seeking death, then I'll have no choice but to grant your wish."

Seeing that the former had no intention of surrendering, Gu Dao was not overly surprised; however, when he heard the opponent dare to speak ill of their Ancient Clan, his face sank instantly, and his gaze toward Lin Feng filled with killing intent.

Speaking ill of their Ancient Clan in public—how could he let the offender off lightly?

"Haha, Gu Dao, right? Today your Ancient Clan's young lady probably won't be so easy to leave. Moreover, I can't let this kid come to harm, otherwise that would be a huge deal."

However, just as the former's words fell and he was about to strike, a burst of laughter like a muffled thunder suddenly exploded in the horizon.

And as the sound rolled outward, three figures immediately appeared before Lin Feng.

Upon seeing these three figures suddenly appear, Gu Dao's brows quickly furrowed.

Because in his perception, these three people's strengths are one seven-star mid-stage Dou Sheng and two five-star Dou Sheng; such power, even he would not dare say he could defeat them instantly.

However, after he sensed the opponent's origin, Gu Dao's expression suddenly turned extremely solemn, and he murmured: "People of the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan."

Having said that, his tone suddenly shifted, doing a complete 180-degree turn, and he said arrogantly: "Although the strength of one seven-star Dou Sheng and two five-star Dou Sheng is not weak, it is still unlikely they could defeat me."

"That's right, defeating you may indeed not be possible, but before you defeat those three, I think I've already had enough opportunity to kill Gu Xun'er hundreds of times."

However, just as Gu Dao's arrogant voice fell, Lin Feng's light-hearted sentence directly shattered his confident demeanor.

"You"

Facing the former's threatening words, Gu Dao instantly felt his chest filled with endless anger.

How many years has it been since their Ancient Clan was last threatened like this?

Even the Soul Clan, which has always been at odds with them, would not dare do such a thing.

Yet the young man before him today dares to threaten him so arrogantly.

However, upon seeing Lin Feng's expression that didn't look like a joke, Gu Dao swallowed all the scolding words he had ready to spit out.

After all, their young lady is still in the opponent's hands, and moreover, with a Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan expert hindering him now, it's not the time to act on impulse.

Thinking of this, he immediately took a deep breath, his voice somewhat trembling as he said: "Speak, what do you want to do?"

"Hehe, it's nothing much; I just made a deal with your young lady, but after obtaining the item she didn't want to pay. So I was forced to not let her go, and as long as you're willing to pay, I naturally have nothing more to say."

Seeing the opponent finally willing to calm down and talk, Lin Feng immediately snorted coldly, then turned his gaze to that Ancient Clan four-star Dou Sheng and said: "You roughly know the situation as well; just you and this person explain it."

"A deal?"

Hearing that, Gu Dao's brows slightly furrowed, and he felt some doubt.

After all, before this, their young lady had never mentioned anything related to this matter, right?

Moreover, what could Lin Feng possibly have that would make their young lady want to obtain it?

"Senior Gu Dao, it's like this."

And just then, the four-star Dou Sheng named Gu Qing immediately came to Gu Dao's side and gave a rough account of what he knew.

"What?!"

After the former finished speaking, Gu Dao stared at Gu Qing in astonishment, his tone full of disbelief.

But immediately after, he turned to Lin Feng with a face full of anger and said: "Do you think we're easy targets?"

"One nine-rank Xuan Dan and three nine-rank Bao Dan—what thing could be worth such precious pills?!"

As he spoke on, Gu Dao's expression also became furious beyond restraint.

Lin Feng's words are simply nonsense!

And Lin Feng, seeing the opponent not believe him, immediately snorted coldly, moved his mouth slightly, and transmitted a sentence over.

"Your emperor's saying is true?"

After learning what their young lady had obtained from the opponent, even with Gu Dao's experience, he was momentarily excited and at a loss.

After all, Emperor-level souls, when looking across the entire Dou Qi Continent, are now possessed only by their clan chief and the Soul Heavenly Emperor.

Although his soul has not reached that level, and is even only just at the initial stage of the Heavenly Realm, yet each time he stands before his clan chief, he can sense how powerful an Emperor-level soul is.

Even relying solely on the soul, it can make him feel immense pressure.

He had no doubt whatsoever; if he were to face a cultivator of Emperor Realm Soul, he feared he wouldn't even last a hundred moves before being directly slain.

And the more he thought about the power of an Emperor Realm Soul, the more excited Gu Dao became.

If he were to uncover the specific content of this news, it would undoubtedly be of great help to their Ancient Clan, because within their clan there still exists a powerhouse at the initial stage of eight-star Battle Saint level.

If that person could obtain this news, then take that thing in hand and absorb it, their strength would surely gain a tremendous boost.

Even when facing an initial-stage nine-star Battle Saint, there is also a great chance to retreat unharmed.

However, Gu Dao is after all not just a newborn calf.

After indulging in joy for a while, he immediately regained his composure, then raised his head and asked: "How can I believe you, an enemy of our Ancient Clan, especially when our young miss never mentioned anything like this before she left? How am I supposed to trust you?"

"Then just wait, I'll let our young miss speak to you herself."

Hearing that, Lin Feng pondered for a moment, then seized the Ancient Clan Battle Saint in his hand and his figure suddenly vanished into the sky.

As for Gu Dao, seeing the former depart, he did not speak up to stop him, but silently waited in the sky.

After all, regardless of whether this news is true or false, he needs to inquire about the situation with his own young miss.

As for the junior captured by the opposing side, he can only think of a solution later.

There's no way around it; although he doesn't want to do this, he cannot give up either the Emperor Realm Soul or his own young miss.

Therefore, he could only endure it for the time being.

"Whoosh!"

Soon after Lin Feng disappeared, his figure reappeared in the sky once again.

However, compared to when he disappeared, the person in his hand had changed from an old man to a peerless beauty who could topple cities and nations.

Needless to say, this woman is none other than Gu Xun'er, who wants to renege on her debt.

Of course, before coming, Lin Feng thoughtfully had her put on her clothes.

Otherwise, she, whose buttocks had been turned red by Lin Feng's "beating," would not be able to show herself in public.

Upon the former's appearance, Gu Dao and Gu Qing hastily turned their gaze over, then immediately fixed it on the opponent's palm.

As those who often see Gu Xun'er, they instantly recognized the identity of the person in the opponent's hand—it was none other than their own young miss.

Only after seeing that the former's aura showed no signs of life-threatening danger did Gu Dao and Gu Qing finally let out a great sigh of relief.

After all, if anything were to happen to Gu Xun'er, they truly would have no way to deal with it.

Upon seeing Gu Xun'er, Gu Qing couldn't help but shout loudly: "Miss, has Lin Feng been mistreating you lately? If there's anything, please tell us quickly; we will definitely think of a way to rescue you."

However, upon hearing those words, Gu Xun'er immediately shook her head, indicating she was fine.

After all, Lin Feng had already informed her of some of the current situation before she came, so she was not at a loss.

Moreover, although she had been constantly bumped by Lin Feng these past days, even her buttocks had been knocked red.

But if this were to get out, Gu Xun'er's reputation would truly be utterly ruined.

Moreover, by then Brother Xiao Yan would also.

Therefore, taking all these reasons into account, Gu Xun'er could not possibly speak of the matter of her and Lin Feng researching the Kun Character Technique day and night over the past few days.

However, Gu Xun'er is after all a person with quick thinking.

Upon discovering that Gu Dao, a seven-star peak Battle Saint powerhouse of their Ancient Clan, had arrived here, she still acted with restraint, daring not to lightly provoke Lin Feng.

She knows that perhaps the guy who makes her want to eat his flesh and drink his blood used some method to make one of the Ancient Clan's Three Immortals, Gu Dao, feel apprehensive, which is why she acted that way.

Furthermore, judging from the scene, this apprehension very likely comes from those three unfamiliar sturdy men standing before her and Lin Feng.

And only after Gu Dao saw that his young miss appeared perfectly fine did he finally let out a great sigh of relief.

Immediately afterward, he promptly asked: "Miss, earlier Lin Feng said you had a transaction with him"

"That's right; he has the ability to let souls enter, but obtaining that thing is fraught with difficulty—even if my father intervened, it might not be easy."

Since Lin Feng had already told her, Gu Xun'er was not surprised that Gu Dao knew of this; she directly spoke up in a low voice.

"Swish"

Having received confirmation from their young miss, Gu Qing and Gu Dao exchanged a glance and immediately felt at a loss as to where to begin with this matter.

But soon, Gu Qing quickly spoke up: "Miss, what exactly is that thing."

"Whoosh!"

However, before he could finish speaking, Lin Feng immediately pointed and sealed the speaking ability of the ancient clan young miss in his hand.

Even any ability to act was deprived by Lin Feng.

Now Gu Xun'er cannot even move her eyeballs slightly or change her expression a bit.

Next, he turned his gaze to Gu Qing, sneering: "Heh, indeed like father like son; this woman wants to freeload, and you old fogeys think the same way."

"Do you believe that if you provoke me further, this Gu Xun'er will lose her head right away?"

While speaking, Lin Feng's indifferent gaze swept over the two elders before him, his words devoid of any politeness.

"Hmph, all I wanted was to ask how the miss is doing; but you, so eager to seal my miss's speaking ability—are you not feeling guilty about something?"

As for this matter, Gu Qing naturally could not admit it and immediately rejected Lin Feng's "false accusation".

Although he had just wanted their young miss to tell them the specific information about the item that could elevate one to Emperor Realm Soul, so that he and his companions could then use it to carry out some operations.

But as soon as they made a move, the opposing side noticed and stopped them.

And seeing that the opposing side refused to admit it, Lin Feng didn't dwell on it further, merely saying lightly: "Whether or not you know it best in your own heart, but for now let's continue talking about your young miss's debt."

Having said that, Lin Feng immediately spoke again: "Now you also know what I traded with your young miss; speak up—how do you intend to handle this?"

"Of course, don't think I'll release the person first; before you get that thing in hand, your eldest young miss will just stay here obediently."

Saying this, Lin Feng passed the matter back to the two Ancient Clan members, waiting to see what they would decide.

Upon hearing this, Gu Dao and Gu Qing both fell into silence at once.

After all, this matter is truly extremely thorny; now their eldest young miss is in the opponent's hands, a forceful approach won't work, and other methods are utterly ineffective.

After thinking this over, Gu Dao fell silent for a long time, finally relenting and saying: "The things you speak of, we truly cannot decide on our own; in that case, the two of us will return to the clan to discuss with the clan chief and the Elder Council's elders, and later we will give you a specific reply. During this period, you must guarantee the personal safety of our Miss."

Hehe, then I'll await good news here; however, you can rest assured—when you come to see her later, I guarantee she won't lose even a bit of flesh.

Seeing the former finally relent, Lin Feng immediately gave a faint smile.

Hmph, best be like that; otherwise, the wrath of my Ancient Clan is not something you can withstand.

Upon hearing that, Gu Dao immediately flicked his sleeve and gave a cold snort.

As soon as his words fell, he casually waved his hand, creating a Space Wormhole; then he walked into it while calling for Gu Qingli to leave.

As for the latter, upon seeing Gu Dao leave, he immediately glanced at Lin Feng, then hurriedly chased after him, disappearing into the Space Wormhole. (End of chapter)
