97: Chapter 97 Who's in favor? Who's against? We should kill a couple to whet our appetites.

Inside the hall, the others also felt that aura.

Qi Family Head's expression turned ugly, and with a stumble, he knelt down uncontrollably!

Although his ancestors had produced a Great Emperor, that was history, capable of intimidating only those who did not understand!

Now that a living Great Emperor was standing before him, how could he not be afraid!

For a Great Emperor, killing a Peak Quasi-Emperor is as simple as slaughtering a chicken!

The words he had just spoken had likely been heard by this Great Emperor, and if he were to be held accountable, he would surely be unable to escape the consequences!

Everyone lowered their heads in the face of that aura.

Those who had been disrespectful just moments ago were all kneeling on the ground.

Even those who had laughed out loud or whispered earlier could not utter a single word now!

They didn't even have the courage to lift their heads.

Jian Wuji retracted his aura.

He looked at the people kneeling all over the floor and spoke slowly. "Mere Peak Quasi-Emperors, yet you dare to be disrespectful to my Young Lord?"

"My Master has said that you are merely cannon fodder, and this so-called Alliance is nothing more than a bunch of rabble!"

He paused, his gaze sweeping over those kneeling on the ground; there was no pity in his eyes, only disdain!

A bunch of weaklings!

If you have the guts, come out and spar!

"If you are unconvinced, come out and duel me one-on-one!"

No one dared to move!

Those Peak Quasi-Emperors didn't even dare to lift their heads!

Duel? Isn't that just seeking death?

With their cultivation, fighting a Great Emperor is simply handing over their lives!

Gu Chen stood behind Jian Wuji. He knew Jian Wuji was strong, but he hadn't expected him to be strong to this extent!

A mere wisp of aura had suppressed Peak Quasi-Emperors, forcing them to kneel and unable to rise!

He felt that Jian Wuji, who usually didn't speak much, had suddenly become imposing!

He turned to look at Grand Elder Bing Yun. She was still standing; Jian Wuji's aura had not targeted her, and her face held only shock!

Clan Chief Bing Ru had previously guessed that the Gu Family had a Great Emperor, but she hadn't expected there to be so many, nor had she expected them to be this powerful!

What exactly is the origin of this Gu Family?

Gu Chen looked around, his tone indifferent. "The Gu Family shall take the position of Alliance Leader. Who approves? Who opposes?"

Inside the great hall, no one spoke, and no one dared to speak!

Gu Chen looked around, his gaze landing on Li Family Head, who was sprawled on the ground.

This Li Family Head, who had been so arrogant just moments ago, was now sprawled on the ground like a dog, trembling all over, without the courage to lift his head!

Gu Chen's tone was neither salty nor bland. "Old man, do you still oppose?"

Li Family Head shuddered, his voice trembling. "No, I do not oppose. This old man, this old man fully approves of the Gu Family becoming the Alliance Leader!!"

Gu Chen looked at him with interest. "You don't oppose? Then why are your legs shaking? Do you have any dissatisfaction with my Gu Family? You can speak it out!"

Though you can't actually say it!

Li Family Head's face turned deathly pale, and cold sweat from his forehead dripped onto the ground. "No, no, this old man, this old man is just, just old, and my chronic leg pain is acting up!"

"Then you must get that treated properly, lest it leave a lasting ailment. If it doesn't work, come to my Gu Family; our Old Ancestor will help you treat your illness properly!"

Gu Chen sounded kind, but his words were full of threats!

Li Family Head naturally understood and hurriedly refused. "No need, no need! Thank you, Young Master Gu, thank you for your kindness!"

Gu Chen didn't look at him again and turned to look at Qi Family Head!

Qi Family Head's expression was even uglier than Li Family Head's. Just moments ago, he had looked at Gu Chen with eyes that seemed ready to devour him, and now he didn't even dare to draw a full breath!

Gu Chen looked at him. "What was the meaning of that look you gave me just now? Did you want to eat me?"

Qi Family Head's body stiffened, his lips trembling for a long time before he squeezed out a few words. "No, I dare not!"

"You dare not?" Gu Chen took half a step forward.

Qi Family Head subconsciously shrank back.

"You weren't like this just now. A moment ago, you said the Gu Family was arrogant and indifferent, sending a few people to just go through the motions. Why aren't you saying that now?"

Qi Family Head couldn't say a word!

He hadn't expected them to know everything; the conversation from just now had been heard word for word!

But what could he say? Say the Gu Family was indeed arrogant? That would be seeking death! Say the Gu Family wasn't arrogant? That would be slapping his own face!

The Legacy and foundation they had once been so proud of were shattered to pieces at this moment!

He hadn't expected that the others didn't care at all about what kind of foundation or Legacy they had; they were genuine Great Emperors! Living Great Emperors!

"The Gu Family's affairs are not for you people to point fingers at!"

Afterward, he turned to look at Jian Wuji. "Uncle Jian, what did Old Ancestor say before we left?"

Jian Wuji took a step forward, standing beside Gu Chen, his gaze sweeping over the people kneeling on the floor.

"Master said that when the Gu Family is out, we will not tolerate threats from anyone! Whoever dares to be disrespectful to the Gu Family again or threatens the Gu Family's interests can be made to know what cruelty is at any time!"

These words were telling them to use the chicken to warn the monkey! Who was the chicken and who was the monkey here did not need to be spelled out!

For a moment, those Peak Quasi-Emperors didn't dare to speak!

They had been addicted to moral kidnapping just a moment ago, but they hadn't expected the other party not to play games with them!

Once a Great Emperor appeared, they all shut their mouths!

After a while, Gu Chen spoke in an indifferent tone. "Our Gu Family came to fight the Demon Race, not to bully you. If anyone is dissatisfied, you can bring it up. Of course, I hope you have no objections!"

"If not, then speak less about the Gu Family's affairs!"

"The Gu Family shall take the position of Alliance Leader; surely no one opposes this now, right? You all approve, right?"

When he came, Gu Xuan had told him that this trip represented the Gu Family! If anyone was disrespectful to the Gu Family, there was no need to endure it!

When out and about, the Gu Family is the Heavens! The Heavens will not tolerate being bullied!

He recalled the gazes of those people when he entered the city—contempt, disdain, mockery! And those whispers after entering the hall!

He had heard these words clearly! He hadn't reacted at the time because it wasn't the right moment yet! Now, it was time.

"I approve!" Li Family Head shouted first.

"I approve!" Qi Family Head followed and shouted.

"I approve!" Everyone followed and shouted.

The voices were uneven, but the meaning was clear; no one dared to oppose!

Gu Chen nodded. "Then it is settled!"

Li Family Head climbed up with difficulty and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead!

The others also had ugly expressions, each lowering their heads, not daring to look at Gu Chen!

They had been incredibly arrogant just moments ago, but now they were obedient!

"In the future, if anyone dares to be disrespectful to the Gu Family again, don't blame the Gu Family for being heartless!"

After speaking, he turned and walked out of the hall, and Ru Shuang followed him.

Outside the hall, Gu Chen took a deep breath and turned to look at Jian Wuji. "Uncle Jian, was I too fierce just now?"

Jian Wuji glanced at him. "It was still too gentle."

Gu Chen smiled awkwardly. "This is still gentle? Then what should I have done?"

Jian Wuji said very seriously, "These people have no real strength; it would be better to kill two of them as an appetizer, so that no one will be ignorant of life and death in the future!"

Gu Chen hadn't expected Jian Wuji to be even more ruthless than he had imagined!

He actually suggested killing two of them as an appetizer! Those were Peak Quasi-Emperors!

If it weren't for Uncle Jian by his side, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand their pressure!

Jian Wuji felt that verbal education was never as fast as practical experience!

To put it plainly, people cannot be taught by words, but one lesson from reality is enough!
