C7 Decline

Under the complicated gaze of the crowd, Gu Xuan scratched his head and said awkwardly: "I think it's better if you don't take me as your master."

"What!"

Once Gu Xuan said that, the entire hall quietened down, and ten gazes that were filled with disbelief landed on Gu Xuan's body.

With the Sovereign Level personally teaching, with countless superior conditions, this kind of matter that was almost like a pie falling from the sky, Gu Xuan actually chose to give up?

"You reject me?"

Zhanshan furrowed his brows, the smile on his face froze, and his voice became even colder. The temperature of the entire hall also dropped by a few degrees because of this, and under the fury of the Sovereign Level Expert, even the Profound Level elders were stunned.

"I appreciate Master Hou's good intentions, but I prefer to cultivate alone." Gu Xuan spread out his hands and said with a smile.

To others, becoming the disciple of the Sovereign Level Expert was something that they dreamed of. However, to Gu Xuan, the ruler of his previous life, he did not even have the qualifications to be a subordinate to someone of this level.

The teachings of the Sovereign Level Martial Cultivator? It wasn't worth it to him.

It was one thing to simply provide resources, but it was another to kowtow and acknowledge him as his teacher.

"Do you know how much trouble you will get if you give me face?" Zhanshan stood up, his sharp gaze piercing straight towards Gu Xuan.

No matter how many years it had been, no matter how many talented people had been, under his invitation, all of them had gone mad with joy. Whoever dared to directly reject him, Gu Xuan was still the first!

"Got it." Gu Xuan nodded without a care.

"And you still refuse?" Zhanshan's gaze focused and his voice became even colder.

"I still refuse." Gu Xuan did not hesitate, and looked at the Zhanshan fearlessly.

Their eyes met, and it seemed as if the air in the hall had frozen over. A moment later, the Zhanshan laughed loudly: "Interesting, interesting. This is the first time I've seen such a courageous young man in a county city.

"It's a pity. You should know that there won't be a second time when I invite people." Zhanshan shook his head, signaled Gu Duanchen with his hand, and then, he walked out of the Gu Family Hall in big strides.

No matter how much Gu Xuan shared with his appetite, he wouldn't pay too much attention to a Martial Cultivator with no future. In the eyes of the Zhanshan, no matter how weak one's Gu Family was, it was impossible for one to cultivate a true genius.

What he valued was only Gu Xuan's potential, but what Gu Xuan displayed now, was not much. In the Marquis Palace, there were even many who had reached the Peak Spirit Level at Gu Xuan's age.

When the Zhanshan left, Gu Duanchen and the Great Elder looked at Gu Xuan with some ridicule. Even the elders were somewhat gloating.

Although the majority of them did not have any grudges with Gu Xuan, when the Zhanshan placed so much importance on Gu Xuan, it had also attracted the jealousy of everyone. Now, Gu Xuan's rejection of "not knowing what's good for you" allowed them to have a sense of balance.

To reject Zhanshan's invitation, in their eyes, Gu Xuan's potential would end here.

Sensing the crowd's mocking gazes, Gu Xuan rolled his eyes. To the emperors in his previous life, this kind of condition was nothing to them, and it wouldn't be long before these people would know how foolish their current thoughts were.

Gu Xuan shot a glance at Gu Duanchen, and said indifferently: "Right now, there should be nothing left for me to do, right? Then I'll be leaving first, if you think that any of the younger generation in Gu Family can be my match, you can call him over, I'll fight him at any time."

Gu Xuan turned around and left. Gu Duanchen's face turned green, and his eyes revealed a light like that of a venomous snake.

"Humph!" The Great Clan Elder shook his sleeves, and coldly snorted, "You unscrupulously rejected the Zhanshan. In the future, it's impossible for you to advance even a single inch. There's still times for you to cry!"

"In two months time, he will be recruiting for his Marquis Mansion, and Gu Han will also return. Although Gu Han is only a disciple from a side branch, he already has Spirit Level.

If Gu Xuan did not reject it, he might have to think of a way to kill it, but right now, Gu Xuan actually wanted to stay in the Gu Family, so there were a lot of opportunities to take care of Gu Xuan …

After exiting the Main Hall, Gu Xuan did not rush back. Instead, he walked around the core area of the Gu Family and began to admire the current Gu Family.

Back then, when he had risen to power, his Gu Family had risen by leaps and bounds, becoming the number one clan in the entire Great Desolate Empire.

But now, his Gu Family had not dropped to this extent. Even if he were to face a duke of a prefectural city, he would have to fight with all his might.

stopped in his tracks when he arrived at the Gu Family Plaza.

In the center of the plaza stood a huge statue of a man that was over ten feet tall. The man wore armor, his cape fluttering in the wind, and had a Great Sword in his hand.

"I didn't expect my statue to still be here when my family moved to the County City."

Gu Xuan smiled slightly. Back then, he had become the most honorable person in the entire Gu Family, the patriarch of the Gu Family, and he had personally sculpted this sculpture for Gu Xuan.

When Gu Xuan looked up, his expression suddenly became gloomy, because his statue was already headless!

A headless statue!

Gu Xuan clenched his fists tightly and his temples suddenly rose. His eyes were filled with anger, he knew that this matter must definitely be related to the beloved disciple that he had treated as his own life.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

In his rage, Gu Xuan's finger slid, and the stone fragments flew around. They drew three words on the stone statue's leg, filled with killing intent!

"Phew …"

Taking in a deep breath, Gu Xuan laughed at himself and shook his head. He had already lost his life once, so why would he care about this statue?

"The Gu Family of one of the Four Great Clans, and the Gu Xingyun with Peerless Expert's strength …"

Gu Xuan frowned, the trouble he was facing right now, was definitely not small, his statue was already headless, and according to his memories, no one in the entire clan knew who this statue was.

Of course, if his deeds from his previous life could still be spread, then Gu Tianmo would definitely not give him the name Gu Xuan. Although he did not have any descendants from his previous life and could not really be considered Gu Xuan's bloodline, he was still a legendary figure of the older generation.

However, if Gu Xingyun wanted to deal with his family, there was no need to suppress him. Wouldn't it be better to just eliminate him immediately?

Why did he create a family clan to suppress, and even erase the legend of his Gu Family? Could it be that someone else was secretly helping Gu Family, but who was that person?

"Forget it, it's useless to think any further. I need to quickly recover my strength, and right now, I am already a Heavenly Martial Cultivator. Adding on the experience from my previous life, my cultivation speed will definitely be ten times faster than before!"

Gu Xuan's eyes revealed a sharp look. No matter how much trouble there was, he was not afraid.

Those who blocked him, die!

Whoever provoked him, kill!

Whoever betrayed him, kill!

After looking again at the headless statue, Gu Xuan headed towards his home. The most important thing to do now was to find a way to obtain some cultivation resources, if not, no matter how powerful he was, he would not be able to use them.
