Chapter 642

Hearing the former's slightly threatening words, the many Elders of the Xiao Dan Tower Grand Elder's courtyard, while secretly angry, also felt a strong sense of apprehension.

Although they could ignore Gu Xun'er, who only had a one-star Dou Zun, the power behind her left them somewhat helpless.

Furthermore, the Grand Elder is still in closed-door alchemy.

These people don't even have a way to summon the forefather.

Even those previous hardliners, at this moment, gritted their teeth and stopped speaking.

However, from their constantly rising and falling chests.

Gu Xun'er's earlier threatening words made them extremely angry.

"Miss Xun'er, this matter is an internal affair of my Dan Tower; your rash interference is not appropriate."

After a moment of silence, that elder spoke again.

"Second Elder, this is an agreement set by our ancient clan's ancestors; I cannot change it. If the Dan Tower wants to kill Xiao Yan, our ancient clan cannot stand by."

Although Gu Xun'er knew the former was already unhappy, she still pretended not to know and continued.

Upon hearing that, the Second Elder's fist clenched slightly.

Although he really wanted to directly refuse the former, but thinking of what Gu Xun'er had previously said to him.

That Xiao Yan was once an ally of the ancient clan, a descendant of the Xiao clan, and moreover the sole surviving descendant of the clan chief's line.

In his eyes, a hint of conflict flickered.

He now cannot be certain whether the ancient clan will do its utmost to protect this sole surviving descendant of the Xiao clan chief's line.

After a moment's thought, that elder relaxed his fist, his gaze swept over Gu Xun'er, and then he looked toward Lin Feng again.

That meaning was already quite clear.

Seeing that, Gu Xun'er's brows slightly furrowed.

This Lin Feng is the enemy of her Xiao Yan brother; giving him benefits now, she cannot accept it no matter how she thinks.

"Forget it, let this guy be smug for now. After rescuing Xiao Yan brother, we'll think of a way to kill this Lin Feng and take back his strange fire and belongings all at once."

After silently reciting to herself, Gu Xun'er immediately said: "Lin Feng, how about this: as long as you give up continuing to pursue this matter, I will decide that you will not be questioned about the things you took from Xiao Yan brother, and we will also compensate you with a volume of Heavenly Step Technique. How about that?"

Immediately after, she worried that Lin Feng might make excessive demands, and added: "This condition is already quite good; the Heavenly Step Technique, even among the strong inside the Xiao Dan Tower, few possess it. If you miss this village, you won't find this shop."

Upon hearing that, Lin Feng glanced at the other elders.

The elder seated highest also gave him a helpless look, indicating to let it be.

"Sigh~"

Seeing that, Lin Feng feigned a helpless sigh, then said: "The elders' decision, Lin Feng naturally has no objection, but I think the technique would be better if it were poison-attribute."

He also did not want to push Gu Xun'er and Xiao Yan too hard at this moment.

After all, if Xiao Yan sees no hope, he is likely to communicate with Gu Xun'er and send the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade to the ancient clan.

Then, in exchange for having them rescue him from the Dan Tower, and to summon ancient clan experts to assassinate him.

At the same time, this is also one of the reasons he does not forcibly sever all of Xiao Yan's strange fires.

After all, forcing an opponent capable of resistance into a desperate situation is undoubtedly foolish.

Besiege three sides, leave one open, giving the opponent a retreat route.

Only when one has absolute certainty of victory does one strike a killing blow; undoubtedly that is the best choice.

Upon hearing that, Gu Xun'er frowned and inwardly cursed the former for being insatiably greedy.

Giving you a volume of Heavenly Step Technique is already her greatest concession.

But this guy actually still specified the attribute.

"Me too."

But thinking that the things given could be taken back later, she also agreed to the former's request.

As for the other elders of the Grand Elder Council, they also felt quite surprised.

Originally they thought Lin Feng would want a fire-attribute Heavenly Step Technique, but what surprised them was that he actually demanded a poison-attribute technique.

However, regarding this point, although they were surprised, they also understood the former's purpose in doing so.

After all, ever since the Xiao Yan incident, everyone has known that the other party has a poison-attribute Dou Zun wife.

"If that's the case, then we decide: Xiao Yan's grave crime this time is pardonable by death, but he cannot escape punishment for his crimes while alive; effective immediately, we will expel him from the Dan Tower!"

Having said that, the elder swept his gaze over the three leaders and continued: "You three also count as Xiao Yan's guardians; having failed to fulfill your duties, you are each fined to compensate Lin Feng with two eight-colored pills, to be delivered within a month. As for other compensation, it is the same."

"Dismissed!"

Having spoken, the elder's figure vanished from the seat.

Looking like that, he was also quite displeased in his heart, not even glancing at Gu Xun'er.

Seeing her Xiao Yan brother finally pass through this incident safely, Gu Xun'er also let out a long sigh of relief.

As for being expelled from the Dan Tower, she didn't care at all.

"Hehe, don't forget the compensation."

Those few elders who had previously argued fiercely with the three leaders, upon seeing this scene, all at once made a sarcastic remark, and then their figures likewise vanished from the spot.

"Hmph!"

Seeing the few people's arrogant tone, the three leaders also let out a cold snort.

They knew that this punishment was because they, these few people, had been running around this period, calling outsiders to rescue Xiao Yan, causing the Second Elder to be very dissatisfied.

"It seems next time we need to be more careful; if this continues, likely Lin Feng won't be killed, but we ourselves will be dismissed first."

Thinking of the cost they, these few people, had paid to rescue Xiao Yan this time, the three leaders couldn't help but wryly shake their heads.

As for Gu Xun'er, seeing the matter resolved, she also rose and walked outward.

As she passed Lin Feng, she turned her head toward him and said: "Your things, I will have someone send them later. Also, the Dou Qi continent is vast; don't think that having some connection with a certain ancient clan lets you do as you please."

"Hehe, hearing those elders earlier address you, you must be a member of the ancient clan, right."

After saying that, a faint cold smile appeared on Lin Feng's lips, and he continued: "I'll also give you a line: In ancient times, there were countless Dou Emperor families, yet they all vanished in the river of time. I see you acting like the big boss, me as the second—how long can this ancient clan possibly last?"

After saying that, he turned his head and left.

After all, the matter is settled, so there's no need for him to stay any longer.

He had originally planned to talk with those elders earlier to improve relations between the two sides.

By the way, why did only seven of the ten elders of the Grand Elder Council show up today?

But now that the other party has left, he can only wait until next time.
