Chapter 156: A Hint of Superiority Felt by Xun Er!

On a beautiful mountain peak within the Ancient Clan.

This was the place arranged by the Ancient Clan for hosting guests; in the pavilion at the center of the peak, several youths in silver robes attracted a great deal of attention.

These youths were all dressed in silver robes and looked high-spirited. The silver robes were extremely eye-catching under the sunlight, like the lingering traces of lightning streaking across the sky, faintly flashing with terrifying thunder energy, possessing a demeanor that commanded respect without anger.

And these youths all came from the Lei Clan.

"The lightning-attribute Dou Qi is truly overbearing!"

"Indeed, even Brother Gu Qingyang lost to that Lei Dong."

"Has the Lei Clan reached such a stage now?"

In the great hall, many Ancient Clan youths were discussing in hushed tones, harboring feelings of awe toward these youths from the Lei Clan.

Especially toward the one leading them.

In their eyes, there was even a hint of admiration; this was a natural emotion toward the strong.

This person was none other than the number one person of the Lei Clan's younger generation, Lei Dong!

"Brother Lei Dong, this Ancient Clan claims to be the strongest of the Ancient Races, but the strength of this younger generation is nothing more than this!"

A person beside Lei Dong said with flattery.

"That's right, looking across the Ancient Eight Clans, who can compare to Brother Lei Dong!"

"Even among all the Ancient Races, Brother Lei Dong is the number one prodigy!"

"What Ancient Clan or Soul Clan, they will all be trampled under Brother Lei Dong's feet in the future!"

"Alright, we are currently guests in the Ancient Clan; saying such honest truths will make us appear very impolite..."

The man named Lei Dong spoke up. From his tone, it could be heard that he did not hold the Ancient Clan's younger generation in his eyes.

"You!"

Some Ancient Clan youths, upon hearing Lei Dong's words, immediately turned red with anger, but then they thought, their own talent was indeed inferior to them, so were they to be humiliated like this?

With Lei Dong backing them, the other Lei Clan disciples treated the Ancient Clan youths with even more contempt.

"I heard that the strongest of the Ancient Clan is that Gu Fei, and he is also Miss Xun Er's ex-husband. I wonder how his strength is?"

"Does that even need thinking? For Brother Lei Dong to deal with that Gu Fei, one finger would be enough."

"One finger is too many, right? Brother Lei Dong is a Half-Saint; those below the Half-Saint level are extinguished in a single thought!"

The surrounding Lei Clan disciples openly insulted Gu Fei, but Lei Dong frowned slightly, his expression somewhat displeased.

"Gu Fei..."

He whispered this name in his heart, his eyes carrying a bit of mockery and disdain, but more of it was a bit of jealousy.

He knew that Gu Fei was Xun'er's ex-husband, and Gu Fei was Xun'er's first husband.

After all, the two had the name of husband and wife, and in daily life, it was inevitable...

Thinking of this, Lei Dong's gaze turned a bit cold, but it softened in the next second.

Fortunately, he already knew that although Xun Er had been married, she was still a maiden.

Lei Dong had once been fortunate enough to lock eyes with Xun'er. At that time, Xun'er's clear and bright eyes, as well as her beauty that could make the world lose its color, a feeling of "one glance for ten thousand years," made Lei Dong deeply infatuated.

Therefore, even though Xun Er had been married once, he did not care at all.

As long as he could be with Xun Er, everything was enough.

"Xun Er, I heard that Lei Dong is infatuated with you; you are truly blessed!"

"To become a Half-Saint at such an age, and he is the heir to the Lei Clan Leader; if you marry him, you will be the Clan Leader's wife in the future!"

"The Lei Clan Leader's wife, what a great honor that is!"

Xun Er had also learned the news of the Lei Clan envoys' arrival and knew the purpose of their trip, but she had never cared about it.

Having just heard some women in the clan say words of envy toward her, Xun Er felt it was uncalled for.

Admittedly, reaching the Half-Saint level at the age of thirty was already a peerless talent.

But in Xun Er's eyes, this talent did not count for much; at the very least, compared to Gu Fei, Lei Dong was inferior to Gu Fei.

Age was an irreversible chasm; no matter how powerful Lei Dong was, he could not change the fact that he was thirty years old.

But Gu Fei was only twenty-two this year; Lei Dong was seven or eight years older than him.

With only such a gap created by a seven or eight-year difference, Xun Er felt that with Gu Fei's talent, his achievements would inevitably be higher than his when he reached Lei Dong's age.

Perhaps, it wouldn't even take that long.

"When I went into seclusion, he was already a Four-Star Dou Zun. Now that I have stepped into the Dou Zong realm, I suppose he won't be too weak either!"

Xun Er unconsciously clenched her fists, her heart wanting to compete with Gu Fei.

Of course, Lei Dong coming to propose marriage this time did, after all, create a sense of superiority in Xun Er's heart: "You have excellent people pursuing you, and I am not bad either..."

"The people of the Lei Clan are a bit arrogant!"

"What can be done about their arrogance? We can't have the clan Elders step in to teach them a lesson just because of a sparring match between the younger generation, can we?"

"We are indeed inferior in skill."

Gu Qingyang wore a helpless smile on his face, and Gu Yao and Gu Zhen beside him also looked disheveled.

Occasionally, Lei Clan disciples would brush past them, and they were too embarrassed to meet anyone's eyes.

As it turned out, when the Lei Clan's younger generation first arrived at the Ancient Clan, they boasted that they wanted to spar with the Ancient Clan's youths, and claimed that they had no rivals at all in the Ancient Clan.

The Ancient Clan youths were all heaven-gifted prodigies, and this was their home turf; being humiliated like this, how could they swallow their anger?

Consequently, a large number of Ancient Clan youths swarmed out to spar with the Lei Clan disciples.

Top geniuses like Gu Yao and Gu Qingyang also came to show support; they could not let the Ancient Clan lose face.

At first, it was just ordinary clan disciples sparring; both sides had their wins and losses, tit-for-tat, and it was quite entertaining, with the entire scene filled with intense sounds of confrontation.

This situation only lasted until Lei Dong appeared, at which point it vanished completely.

Lei Dong descended with the stature of a Half-Saint, achieving a sweeping victory over the young talents of the Ancient Clan; after all, a Half-Saint still carries the word "Saint," and a group of Dou Zun were simply no match for him.

Seeing that not a single member of the clan could withstand him, Gu Qingyang, as the strongest person present, had no choice but to bite the bullet and enter the fray.

In the end, there was no suspense; in front of a Half-Saint, Gu Qingyang had no chance of winning and suffered a miserable defeat.

"Even you have lost... who else could possibly be his opponent?"

Gu Zhen sighed and shook his head.

"Are we, the younger generation of the Ancient Clan, really going to be completely trampled underfoot by the disciples of the Lei Clan?" Gu Yao watched Lei Dong, who was triumphantly enjoying the cheers, his heart filled with resentment.

The expression in Gu Qingyang's eyes shifted constantly, and after a long while, it suddenly became a bit clearer.

"Perhaps there is one person who can help us regain our dignity!" Gu Qingyang said.

"Who?" Gu Zhen asked in confusion.

"Gu Fei!"

Upon hearing this name, everyone suddenly wore expressions of realization.

Gu Fei did not like to draw attention to himself, but his strength was plain for all to see.

Back then, he had defeated Gu Qingyang to become the Seventh Commander.

Later, he even challenged his way up, directly becoming the Grand Commander of the Black Annihilation Army.

Gu Fei was the true number one among the younger generation of the Ancient Clan.

"I wonder if Gu Fei can beat Lei Dong!" Gu Qingyang's eyes held anticipation, hoping that Gu Fei could win back face for the Ancient Clan.
