3: Chapter 3: The Gu Family Unleashes the Holy Body to Combat the Heavenly Underworld Sect

The Gu Family main hall!

Several Elders and the Clan Chief of the Gu Family knelt on both knees, while Gu Xuan sat on the main seat with a solemn expression.

"Speak, what has happened during the time I was in seclusion?" Gu Xuan looked solemnly at the clan members below.

Clearly, being attacked at his own doorstep made Gu Xuan very unhappy.

At this moment, the current Clan Chief of the Gu Family, Clan Leader Gu Tianhua, hurriedly reported to Gu Xuan: "Old Ancestor, it is the Tianming Sect relying on their experts to act recklessly; we were powerless to stop them!"

The Gu Family was very united now, and there was no anger or disagreement because of what had happened to the Gu Family Disciples.

In this world of cultivation, for a Cultivator Family, everyone prospers together or suffers together.

Following that, Clan Leader Gu Tianhua explained everything to Gu Xuan in detail.

The Family had grown and developed quite a bit over the past 500 years.

But due to the revenge of the Tianming Sect, the strength of the Gu Family had been cut in half, all because the powerful members of the clan had withered away.

That was why others were able to ride roughshod over the Gu Family!

"Old Ancestor, the Saint of the Tianming Sect is too overbearing. Now that the Old Ancestor has come out of seclusion, we must come up with a foolproof plan to peel a layer of skin off the Tianming Sect."

At this time, the other Elders also spoke up one after another: "Old Ancestor, the Tianming Sect has already attacked our Gu Family; it is already a situation of life or death."

"That's right! Old Ancestor, I will summon the clan members who are outside right now. With the Old Ancestor here, we will fight them to the death!"

"Fight! Fight! The Tianming Sect is too overbearing; our Gu Family cannot tolerate this any longer."

Of course, there were also Elders who felt that doing so was a bit rash. Although Gu Xuan had come out of seclusion, the Tianming Sect was not an existence to be trifled with.

"Old Ancestor, please think twice! The Tianming Sect is a behemoth. Although the Old Ancestor has come out of seclusion, it is not an easy matter to easily topple the Tianming Sect."

"That's right! Please think twice, Old Ancestor!"

Although three experts of the Spirit Sea Realm had just been killed, it was not worth mentioning at all to the Tianming Sect.

The Tianming Sect had Spirit Sea Realm Cultivators everywhere, and there were also quite a few of the King Realm.

And they had no idea that their Old Ancestor, Gu Xuan, was already in the Great Emperor Realm, which was naturally the root of everything.

The Gu Family Disciples knelt on the ground, not daring to speak. After all, it was the trouble they had caused that almost brought the Family to the brink of destruction.

They knelt there unsteadily, not daring to look directly into the eyes of Gu Xuan.

Gu Xuan looked at the sparse number of people in the Gu Family, and couldn't help but frown for a moment.

Clearly, compared to the Gu Family before his seclusion, the population had withered away.

Furthermore, most of the vital strength was hiding outside.

Now that he was in the Great Emperor Realm, he could naturally protect the entire Gu Family. If anyone else was ignorant, Gu Xuan would not mind taking action to eliminate them directly.

Seeing that Gu Xuan remained silent for a long time, a member of the Gu Family stood up: "Old Ancestor, the Tianming Sect is killing our clansmen; we cannot just sit and wait for death. Perhaps taking the initiative could catch them off guard!"

Take the initiative?

Upon hearing this, all the Disciples, including the Elders, were startled.

The Tianming Sect was one of the top forces in this Qingyun Province.

The Sect Master of the Tianming Sect had not only reached the Perfection of the King Realm, half a step into the Sovereign Realm, but they even had a Grand Elder in the Sovereign Realm.

Taking the initiative like this was nothing more than seeking one's own death. Although they were prepared to face death, running over there to deliver their heads was not a wise move.

Clan Leader Gu Tianhua sternly reprimanded: "Gu Chen! Do not speak. This is the Old Ancestor; it is not your place to speak here."

"Old Ancestor, my son does not know how to speak properly; please do not blame him."

Clan Leader Gu Tianhua cupped his hands, his fists clenched tightly, cold sweat streaming down, fearing that Gu Xuan would blame him.

In such an important occasion, for Gu Chen to not see the situation, he had really caused him trouble!

Gu Chen?

The name sounded like that of a Child of Luck or a Child of the Plane.

Gu Xuan did not take this to heart, but looked at Gu Chen with a smile.

"Nickname, come here and let the Old Ancestor take a look at you."

After all, he was the Old Ancestor, and given his age, calling him this would not feel distant.

He beckoned Gu Chen to come over.

Gu Chen looked at his father's ugly expression and couldn't make up his mind for a moment.

But seeing the Old Ancestor's beaming appearance, he mustered his courage and walked over.

Gu Xuan looked Gu Chen up and down and then smiled broadly: "Hidden Dragon Sword Body! At Major Achievement, one can split the heavens and earth. Not bad, not bad."

As soon as he spoke, the Gu Family was shocked.

Hidden Dragon Sword Body? Gu Chen was actually a Hidden Dragon Sword Body?

The Hidden Dragon Sword Body was a top-tier hidden Sword Dao Physique.

Ordinary Cultivators could not detect this Sword Dao Physique at all; only those with extremely high attainments in Sword Dao or those whose Realm far exceeded their peers could see it.

This naturally could not escape Gu Xuan, who was in the Great Emperor Realm.

Gu Chen was dumbfounded. What Hidden Dragon Sword Body? Why did he know nothing about it!

This news made Clan Leader Gu Tianhua grin from ear to ear; his own son was actually a Hidden Dragon Sword Body!

Once the Hidden Dragon Sword Body was activated, he would be invincible among his peers, and killing enemies across Realms would be a piece of cake.

However, given the current situation of the Gu Family, there was absolutely no opportunity for Gu Chen to grow.

But the focus of the Elders' discussion was still the current situation.

They chattered on endlessly.

Gu Xuan quickly made them stop.

"Others have already attacked our doorstep, how can I easily let them go? This so-called Tianming Sect can be destroyed with a wave of my hand!" Gu Xuan stood up and said domineeringly.

Below, the Elders looked at each other in dismay. The Old Ancestor actually said it could be destroyed with a wave of his hand. To what extent had the Old Ancestor's cultivation actually reached? This made them feel very shocked.

However, they were already prepared to face death. In the world of cultivation, even if one fled to the ends of the earth, one would still be hunted down by others.

Since they were going to die anyway, they might as well put up a fight.

Now that their Old Ancestor had come out of seclusion, they had already made the decision to face death without fear.

Some Elders were about to speak, but Gu Xuan spoke first: "You all go down and settle the clan members first. As for the Tianming Sect, I will go to their door to demand an explanation myself."

Since the Old Ancestor had spoken, they naturally dared not discuss it further.

"Nickname, come with me."

Gu Xuan smiled faintly. Gu Chen was the current Young Lord and also had a Sword Dao Physique, so naturally, he had to be cultivated well.

Clan Leader Gu Tianhua changed from his previous sour expression and immediately blinked to signal. Gu Chen naturally understood.

"Alright, Old Ancestor."

After speaking, the two of them instantly disappeared from the main hall.

They originally wanted to advise the Old Ancestor a few words about the situation of the Tianming Sect, but now the person had already disappeared.

Only the Gu Family members were left standing there, stunned.

Disappeared? Even the King Realm couldn't do that, right!

It must be at least the Sovereign Realm!

The Elders looked at each other, not knowing at all what level Gu Xuan's cultivation had reached.

Before his seclusion, Gu Xuan had ordered the clan members to erase all records concerning him, only letting the Gu Family know that they still had an Old Ancestor in seclusion.

Therefore, the current clan members had no idea what level of true strength Gu Xuan had reached now.

"Clan Chief, what Realm has the Old Ancestor's cultivation actually reached?" At this time, First Elder Gu Yushan asked.

He was also the one who went to find Gu Xuan. When he saw Gu Xuan, he dared not breathe, as if he would be crushed in the next second.

But the next second, everything returned to normal, and he could not see through the true face of his own Old Ancestor at all.

This was what made him terrified.

Clan Leader Gu Tianhua also did not know the true strength of his own Old Ancestor; there was no record in the Family.

"I don't know either!"

"I only know that he is the Old Ancestor from 500 years ago!"

The crowd looked at each other and said nothing. Settling the clan members first was the key.
