Chapter 266: then translation of title

Boom!

Martial Sovereigns clashed, space surged!

Amid the heavy rumbling, the violent gust almost instantly shook the entire banquet hall to collapse!

The Gu Family elders hurriedly protected all Gu Family juniors inside the banquet hall and escorted them out.

Meanwhile, Gu Xiao Dao and Li Kaisan's bodies both frantically retreated under the terrifying shockwave.

Thud-thud-thud!

Their heavy footsteps stomped, and the booming sound echoed.

On the ground, they left one spiderweb-like crack after another!

"With the aid of the great formation, you can actually fight me; not bad!"

Li Kaisan gripped his sword with both hands, a flash of cold light flickering in his eyes.

He had previously heard that when the Gu Family unified Wu Shan Cheng, he still hadn't taken it to heart.

It's just a small town, nothing much.

But the power displayed by Gu Xiao Dao was such that even Li Kaisan dared not underestimate it.

"It's a pity you shouldn't have done anything to get my brother imprisoned!"

"Today, you have only a dead end!"

In a low shout, Li Kaisan's heavy sword swept forth again, wrapped in violent gust.

Gu Xiao Dao's eyes narrowed; he hadn't expected the Heavy Sword Peak elder to be so formidable!

The opponent was weakened by the great formation, while his strength increased thanks to the formation's support.

Yet he could only match the opponent evenly!

"It's a shame the great formation isn't fully completed yet; otherwise I could surely suppress Li Kaisan!"

Gu Xiao Dao secretly sighed, having no intention of avoiding his blade.

He kept slashing with his silver sword, though his strength was slightly inferior to Li Kaisan's.

But Gu Xiao Dao's sword speed was extremely fast.

Under the overlapping sword glints, Li Kaisan's heavy sword gained no real advantage.

Li Kaisan and Gu Xiao Dao exchanged over a dozen moves, yet neither could gain an advantage.

Li Kaisan smashed his heavy sword down, the violent force pushing Gu Xiao Dao back, then he shouted at the four elders:

"I'll deal with Gu Xiao Dao; you lot wipe out all the diehard Gu Family elders!"

"From today onward, the Gu Family of Wu Shan Cheng will be a new Gu Family!"

Upon hearing Li Kaisan's words, Gu Han's heart surged with excitement!

Before coming to Wu Shan Cheng, Li Kaisan had already promised him that.

After today, his grandfather Gu Cang Shan will assume the position of Family Head of the Gu Family.

And in the future, the position of Family Head of the Gu Family will naturally pass into his hands!

Moreover, Gu Han will also be able to enter Heavy Sword Peak for further study.

With the full resources of the Gu Family backing him, his cultivation will surely make rapid progress!

By then, becoming a Martial Sovereign will be just a matter of time!

Thanks to his marriage to Li Xuanqing, he may even have the chance to hold a high position in Heavy Sword Peak in the future!

Thinking of this, Gu Han's heart surged, and he pleaded with the several Heavy Sword Peak elders who were about to act:

"Please, elders, hold off on acting for now."

Several Heavy Sword Peak elders were here only out of respect for Li Kaisan's face.

With Gu Han's status, what qualifications does he have to command them?

But out of respect for Li Kaisan, they halted their hands, watching to see what scheme Gu Han might conjure.

Around, the Gu Family elders, stewards, and guard detail had already gathered toward this side.

Further away, many Gu Family juniors were watching.

Gu Han smiled confidently and bellowed with inner strength:

"You all must have seen by now that even Gu Xiao Dao, who has advanced to Martial Sovereign, relying on the family's great formation, is no match for the Heavy Sword Peak Elder Li!"

Gu Han's direct use of Gu Xiao Dao's name immediately provoked angry rebukes and condemnations from the clansmen.

But Gu Han merely gave a contemptuous smile and nodded at a Heavy Sword Peak elder.

"Please, senior, make your move."

That elder simply flicked his sleeve.

A gust as sharp as a blade swept over, making the Gu Family clansmen feel as if their throats were being cut by a sword, pain unbearable.

Just trying to speak caused excruciating pain!

Gu Han snorted coldly and continued:

"Gu Xiao Dao, arrogant and oblivious to right and wrong, threw my grandfather in jail, and on top of that, expelled me from the Gu Family!"

"It's pitiful that my branch, loyal to the Gu Family, ended up with such a fate!"

"If we continue letting Gu Xiao Dao dominate the Gu Family, disaster and annihilation will surely befall the clan!"

"Fortunately, I earned the favor of the Heavy Sword Peak Elder Li, had the honor to marry his granddaughter, and became a member of Heavy Sword Peak!"

"As long as you all are willing to honor me as the Gu Family Family Head, I, as the Family Head, can forgive all past transgressions!"

"Even the Gu Family could have Heavy Sword Peak as our backing; in the future, who in Jiannan Prefecture would dare to act against the Gu Family?"

Gu Han's words left everyone present stunned, their eyes glazed.

Gu Han actually had the shameless desire to directly become the Gu Family Family Head?

Do they think that in their Gu Family, as long as someone's fist is big, they can become the Family Head?

Do they think Heavy Sword Peak can arbitrarily support anyone and make them the Gu Family Head?

If Gu Han really becomes the Gu Family Head today, what will become of the Gu Family's future?

Wouldn't that just make them lackeys under Heavy Sword Peak?

Just today's actions show that.

To hope that Heavy Sword Peak would treat them as humans is practically a dream!

In an instant, all Gu Family members felt a chill rush straight to their heavenly spirits!

Anger, fear, and various emotions filled their hearts.

At Gu Han's signal, the Heavy Sword Peak elder released the suppression on everyone.

However, what Gu Han awaited was not the expected crowd respectfully welcoming him as the Gu Family head.

But rather, a rising and falling chorus of curses.

"You, who only see flies and dogs in your eyes, think we're just like you, knowing only how to cling to the strong?"

An elder of the Martial Sect who knew the inside story stepped forward at this moment and said in a low voice,

"Gu Cang Shan was imprisoned for violating state law and family rules; do you really think we don't know that?"

"The Family Head only imprisoned him because they considered that Gu Cang Shan had once made some contribution to the family; that's why they merely jailed him, and even spared your lives!"

"And you not only refuse to repent, but you collude with Heavy Sword Peak people, trying to seize the Gu Family head position—truly shameless!"

Under this elder's explanation, many Gu Family members who were previously in the dark finally learned the truth of the incident.

If before they still harbored some doubts.

They thought they could choose between Gu Xiao Dao and Gu Han, and even have a chance to cling to Heavy Sword Peak's thigh.

At this moment, all Gu Family members stood opposed to Gu Han.

Hundreds or thousands of Gu Family members unanimously denounced Gu Han's actions.

Even Gu Hai Tao, who not long ago had considered abandoning the family and fleeing with his parents, was among them.

Those who remain in the Gu Family now are all clansmen who greatly value family honor.

They find Gu Han's disgraceful conduct quite despicable!

Gu Han never expected that, while he was striving for a better future for the clansmen, he would instead incur universal scorn!

Several Heavy Sword Peak elders, seeing this, immediately snorted in disdain,

"It's just killing a chicken to scare the monkeys."

"As long as enough people are killed, they will naturally submit!"
