My little sect, which disappeared a thousand years ago, has become a sacred site!

On the other side, the Dongfang clan of Donghai Immortal Island had no attention at all on the argument between Sun Buhuo and Yuan Lie.

Their gazes were fixed on the azure dragon phantom behind Gu Changyuan, their expressions extremely solemn, and their auras subconsciously subdued.

The oppressive feeling emanating from that azure dragon phantom was several times heavier for the dragon race than for other cultivators.

That was a suppression from the depths of the bloodline, a natural deterrent of a higher-level bloodline to a lower-level bloodline.

The mere phantom summoned by Gu Changyuan was enough to suffocate these peak-level dragon clan experts.

They secretly rejoiced that the Eastern Immortal Island had remained law-abiding and had not had any conflicts with the Heavenly Demon Pavilion over the years.

Gu Changyuan stood in the center of the Azure Dragon, listening to Sun Buhuo's words, a smile appearing on his face.

As Sun Buhuo's master, he was naturally fully aware of the matter.

This child was expelled from the giant ape tribe, suffered humiliation and wandered from place to place, and was eventually taken in by him.

Now, the enemy from back then is right in front of me.

Let alone hurling a few insults, Sun Bu Huo would rather just wipe out the other party outright—

Gu Changyuan would immediately take action.

However, that Yuan Lie guy is indeed a bit too arrogant.

That's awesome!

I'm sorry, but here, no one is allowed to be more arrogant than me.

Gu Changyuan spoke slowly, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable confidence. He didn't deliberately mute himself, and his words clearly reached the ears of every cultivator present:

"Not confused, well said."

"From now on, as long as Master is here, you can be as arrogant as you want. Even if the sky falls, Master will hold it up for you."

In an instant, envious glances flooded in.

They also want a master who is so protective of his own and so powerful!

Many disciples from various sects secretly glanced at their masters, who were still in shock, and silently complained in their hearts.

Oh my god, Master, is it too late for me to run away and join the Heavenly Holy Land?

Gu Changyuan continued speaking

He looked at Yuan Lie, a slight smile playing on his lips, a hint of amusement in his eyes:

"Watch closely, I'm about to show you something even more arrogant."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Changyuan's gaze locked onto Yuan Lie.

His gaze was calm.

One could even say it carried a hint of nonchalance.

Yuan Lie felt his whole body stiffen, as if he were being stared at by a lurking ancient beast.

Moreover, it was the kind of ferocious beast that could easily tear him to pieces without any resistance; a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

Immediately following, a powerful warning resounded deep within Yuan Lie's soul.

That was a warning from instinct.

But before he could react, he felt the spiritual energy within his body begin to run rampant.

The spiritual energy within his body, the spiritual energy he had cultivated for thousands of years and which had become one with him, began to circulate wildly and uncontrollably.

Yuan Lie's face turned deathly pale instantly.

He tried to suppress and control it, but found that his divine sense was completely unable to reach the rampaging spiritual energy.

It was as if they no longer belonged to them.

His body began to swell.

His veins were bulging and his blood vessels were protruding, making him look like a balloon being inflated.

Blood began to seep from the pores.

"Aaaaaahh ...

Yuan Lie let out a piercing scream, his voice filled with fear and despair.

Upon seeing this, the three giant ape ancestors at the peak of the Half-Immortal realm changed their expressions drastically and attacked simultaneously.

Three powerful streams of spiritual energy entered Yuan Lie's body, attempting to help him suppress the rampaging spiritual energy.

But it didn't work.

They can't even delay it, let alone suppress it.

The three patriarchs exchanged glances and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

They could only watch helplessly as Yuan Lie's body continued to expand until it reached its limit.

Skin torn, bones shattered, flesh and blood mangled.

Then bang! A dull, loud noise.

Yuan Lie's body exploded instantly.

An elder of the clan at the seventh level of the Half-Immortal realm, a top-tier fighter anywhere.

And so, he perished in front of countless cultivators.

The entire venue was deathly silent.

You can't even hear them breathing.

Countless cultivators stared wide-eyed and gaped, looking at this scene in disbelief.

The ancestor, led by the giant ape of the southern wilderness, had a face so gloomy it could drip water.

He looked up at Gu Changyuan, his eyes filled with suppressed anger, his voice low and menacing:

"Isn't your behavior a bit excessive?"

Gu Changyuan looked completely innocent, as if he hadn't understood what the other person was saying at all.

His expression was blank:

"Huh? Are you talking about me?"

He spread his hands, his tone unusually sincere:

"Which eye of yours saw me do it? I just glanced at him, I didn't do anything."

He paused, then added:

"Maybe he just couldn't handle it and got really angry?"

So, you giant apes of the Southern Wilderness—you can't just focus on building up your muscles; you also need to train your minds and character.

The disciples beside Gu Changyuan were all suppressing their laughter.

Not only them, but all the cultivators around them were secretly suppressing their laughter, their gazes toward the Southern Wilderness Giant Ape Clan filled with mockery and ridicule.

The giant apes of the Southern Wilderness felt their faces burning with embarrassment as they felt the mocking gazes around them, as if they had been slapped in public.

humiliation.

anger.

But they dared not retaliate.

The leading patriarch took a deep breath, suppressing the surging anger in his heart.

He didn't want to argue anymore.

If we can't win the argument or the fight, continuing to talk about it will only make us look more pathetic.

He was planning to let the matter drop and lead his people away from this troublesome place.

Gu Changyuan spoke again, his tone carrying a hint of sudden realization, as if he had suddenly remembered something:

"Oh right, I didn't even notice something until you mentioned it."

"When your clan elder was furious just now, the blood that splattered out scared my child."

"Shouldn't we get an explanation?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his right hand—

Gu Xing'er was pulled out from behind Qinglong and appeared beside him out of thin air.

Gu Xing'er was still a little confused.

She was hiding behind the Azure Dragon's tail watching the show when her master suddenly dragged her out.

However, when she saw Gu Changyuan's eyes, she instantly understood.

Gu Xing'er immediately threw herself at Gu Changyuan, hugging his waist with both hands, burying her face in his chest, her voice trembling with tears:

"elder brother--!"

She raised her voice:

"That ugly monster was so scary when he got really angry! I'm so scared!"

Her crying was exaggerated and deliberate, yet her eyes weren't even red; the surrounding cultivators could tell at a glance that it was an act.

But Gu Changyuan seemed completely oblivious, patting her back with a pained expression and gently coaxing her.

Then his gaze returned to the Southern Wilderness Giant Ape Clan below, his tone both unreasonable and arrogant:

"Look, my child is crying so hard, he's been terrified. Shouldn't you give him some compensation?"
