Chapter 284: Shameless

Since we know Li Kaishan intends to act against the Gu Family,

Then we should take advantage of the time when the Six Clans' Grand Competition is not in session.

Find an open spot and have Gu Chen, Gu Pan, Gu Qianyue, etc., pretend to go out for training while carrying the Myriad Flames Scorching Sea Formation.

Even a Martial Sovereign cannot withstand the scorching burn of the Myriad Flames Scorching Sea Formation!

Moreover, with Gu Chen's strength, dealing with a Martial Sovereign is certainly no problem.

Why must we lure Li Kaishan into acting in a crowded place?

Even Gu Pan uses herself as bait, forcibly blocking Li Kaishan's attack.

Even if Gu Pan can fight above her level, if she truly possesses the Six Phase Profound Ice Holy Body,

but Gu Pan is still young and her cultivation is low.

If Li Kaishan is not intending to capture Gu Pan alive, but instead aims to kill her from the start,

then Gu Pan could truly face mortal danger!

"Gu Han, don't blame the Third Elder for this."

Just as Gu Ren was beating himself up in frustration, Gu Chen suddenly walked over and explained to Gu Ren,

"Since Li Kaishan has decided to act against our Gu Family, and the other five great families have all refused his invitation,"

"then he will surely investigate our Gu Family's situation carefully, which is why he has summoned these four Martial Sovereigns as helpers."

"And if we suddenly leave at this critical juncture, it will inevitably arouse Li Kaishan's suspicion."

"If he is overconfident in his own strength and plans to act against us, with the aid of the Myriad Flames Scorching Sea Formation we can naturally deal with him."

"But if the timing is wrong, it might instead scare the snake."

"A Martial Sovereign hiding in the shadows is far more terrifying than one in the open! Perhaps it could pose a huge threat to the other clansmen!"

"By then, we might not even be able to detect the trace of Li Kaishan hiding in the dark!"

"By comparison, luring Li Kaishan out and dealing with him head-on is the better choice."

Having said that, Gu Chen himself also fell silent.

Because no matter what, Gu Pan and Gu Han are true siblings.

Gu Han is willing to go through fire and water, to climb blades and descend into flames.

but he absolutely does not want his sister to take such a great risk.

If he were in another's position, if it were his sister taking such a great risk,

Gu Chen would probably lose his composure as well.

Gu Han himself is not unreasonable; upon hearing Gu Chen say that, he gradually calmed down.

He sensed the aura within the frost giant egg, confirmed that Gu Pan was not in danger, and then turned his gaze to the floating scroll in the air.

"I'll go in for a trip."

As his words fell, Gu Han sprouted blue-purple iridescent thunder patrol wings and flew into the spatial scroll.

Boom—!

The spatial scroll was already on the brink of collapse under Jiang Tianyi's attack.

When Gu Han entered its interior space, it immediately emitted a roar like thunder.

Li Kaishan, his aura withered to the point of relying on belief to persist, upon seeing this suddenly burst into manic laughter,

"Hahaha, Old Jiang has charged in; after today, you all wait for Heavy Sword Peak's revenge!!"

The heads of the five families, seeing this, all had wary looks in their eyes.

Compared to the other four families, the Li Family is the one most deeply bound to the Gu Family.

The Li Family Patriarch immediately snorted coldly and barked,

"Day in, day out, Heavy Sword Peak, Heavy Sword Peak—do you really think everyone in Heavy Sword Peak is superior to others?"

"It's precisely because of trash like you that Heavy Sword Peak's reputation throughout the Jiannan Prefecture reeks!"

"Still thinking of using Heavy Sword Peak's banner to suppress us? I tell you, there's no way!"

Li Kaishan heard this, his face black as a pot bottom,

"You will surely pay for your words!"

He has painstakingly cultivated for over a hundred years, all for the sake of joining Heavy Sword Peak and becoming superior to others.

Now he has finally become a Martial Sovereign.

Now he has finally become an Elder of Heavy Sword Peak.

Now he has finally become superior to others.

Now make him unable to bully others at will as before?

Wouldn't that mean his cultivation was for nothing?

"Pah! You spout big talk without looking at the time!"

The Li Family Patriarch's eyes flashed with cold killing intent,

"Today you can run, but then give me more boasting!"

He looked at the other four hesitant family heads and said in a low voice,

"Li Kaishan is already at his limit; even if a Martial Sovereign comes to help, it's still just a Martial Sovereign!"

"We have five Martial Sovereigns present—could we possibly not be able to deal with one Martial Sovereign?"

"As long as we keep them here, Heavy Sword Peak may not even come knocking!"

"On the contrary, if we let Li Kaishan go, that will provoke Heavy Sword Peak's revenge!"

The four family heads exchanged glances and each nodded heavily.

Good, today we'll have a go and kill this Martial Venerable Elder of Heavy Sword Peak!

Upon hearing this, Li Kaisan's face instantly turned shocked.

He never expected these people to not only lack fear, but to attack even more fiercely!

But Li Kaisan had confidence in his heart; as long as he could hold out until Jiang Tianyi arrived.

He could escape alive today!

But the next moment, a voice that Li Kaisan never even dreamed of sounded in everyone's ears.

"Haha, I, Gu Han, appreciate the goodwill of the five family heads today!"

Upon hearing that voice, the five family heads were overjoyed.

"It's Gu Han!"

"Gu Han has arrived!"

The five of them all stopped their actions and looked toward Gu Han flying in from the horizon.

Their gazes, at the first moment, fell upon Gu Han's wings.

As Martial Venerables, they had seen countless Martial Ancestors.

And the Martial Ancestors of various factions all mastered diverse internal-force wing martial techniques.

But in their impression, they had never seen an internal-force wing martial technique the same as Gu Han's.

"Is it the upper-grade Xuan-level Furious Thunder Wing? It looks somewhat similar."

"Upper-grade Xuan-level? Who are you looking down on? With Young Friend Gu Han's talent, whatever he uses must at least be an Earth-grade internal-force wing martial technique!"

"Young Friend Gu Han's talent is indeed extraordinary, but after all his background is rather ordinary; obtaining too high-level a technique would seem strange, so in my opinion it's probably just the Furious Thunder Wing."

Upon seeing Gu Han appear, everyone even forgot that Li Kaisan was still present.

Everyone's attention was focused on discussing Gu Han's flying martial technique.

After Gu Han landed, he retracted his wings.

After nodding to the several family heads, he looked at Li Kaisan, who had a ghost‑seen expression.

"Didn't expect that, did you? The one who came in isn't Jiang Tianyi, but me."

Li Kaisan truly never imagined that the one who would enter the space scroll would actually be Gu Han.

But what he didn't expect even more was that these five Martial Venerables would fall behind Gu Han.

It seemed to faintly imply taking Gu Han as the leader!

Li Kaisan took a deep breath, knowing that begging for mercy at this point would be meaningless.

"May the disaster not reach my family; I today surrender bound, hoping you will not act against my family!"

Gu Han originally thought Li Kaisan might open his mouth to beg for mercy.

But unexpectedly, Li Kaisan's mouth actually blurted out such an absurdly ridiculous remark!

"May disaster not reach the family? You have the nerve to say that?"
