As soon as the Marquis' words came out, the entire hall froze for a moment. Many Elders revealed astonished expressions, clearly not expecting a person of the Marquis' level would speak up for a little kid, a well-known piece of trash.

"Master Hou is right." The Great Elder's expression changed as he forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart. In the end, he sat down.

Gu Feng's expression also changed. Clenching his fists unwillingly, he walked down with a dark face.

Sovereign Level Expert, once you say it out, they will not have the slightest of objections. Forget that Gu Xuan is indeed still Young Patriarch, even if he is not, but since Marquis Zhanshan has spoken, he can only compromise.

Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows, and looked at Marquis Zhanshan in a rather peculiar manner. He did not think that this person, who was not related to him at all, would actually come to his aid, and thought to himself: "This Sovereign has some eyes, and is able to see that I am not ordinary. At that time, it would not be bad to just casually give him a few pointers."

Under the cold gazes of Gu Feng and the others, Gu Xuan walked up to the seat at the top and smiled towards the Marquis Zhanshan: "Thank you, Master Hou."

When he discovered that Gu Xuan was able to remain unperturbed under his gaze, his thick eyebrows twitched, and he said in his heart: "This little guy is a little interesting, to be able to not be affected by the presence of the Gu Family Great Clan Elder. It's not bad if I give him a hint at that time."

Marquis Zhanshan never would have thought that the two people who couldn't seem to compare would have no difference to each other's thoughts.

Gu Duanchen who was sitting on the left side, had a calm expression, as if she was unable to see any emotions. Even if his own son was humiliated, it was as if he did not feel anything.

However, Gu Xuan knew that this person was a cruel and merciless person who would not hesitate to kill his own little brother for a purpose.

"Now that all the important figures are here, we can continue."

Gu Duanchen stood up and said in a clear voice: "Our Gu Family Branch Family has been in decline for a long time now. According to what I know, a hundred years ago, Gu Family was a super family, ninety years ago, it was the strongest family in the Great Desolate Empire, seventy years ago, it was the strongest family in the County City, and now, it is only a second-rate family in the County City."

All the elders looked at each other, obviously not knowing that Gu Family had such a history.

However, Gu Xuan's eyes revealed a strange expression. Regarding the Gu Family of a hundred years ago, there was no one who was more familiar with it than him.

Back then when he had risen up against the heavens, becoming a Pill Emperor, his Gu Family had also become a superpower, and there was no exception within the Great Desolate Empire for a while.

And according to the memories of this lifetime, the so-called main clan from Gu Family seemed to be suppressing their branch family, to the point where their clan gradually weakened.

As for that so called Gu Family family, Gu Xuan had already guessed that it was definitely a family established by his own sinner, Gu Xingyun! It was because they were powerful that they became the main clan.

Thinking about that, Gu Xuan frowned, since Gu Xingyun suppressed his Gu Family, then in the future he would have to keep a low profile. If Gu Xingyun suspected his true identity, he would not be able to resist at all.

Gu Duanchen suppressed the pressure on her palms and stopped the discussions below, then said seriously, "If this continues, then it won't be long before the entire clan will be exterminated. In order to avoid this problem, the successor of the Gu Family must have sufficient talent."

The group of elders nodded in succession. Not mentioning before, just now, their Gu Family already showed signs of decline.

"That's right, clan leader's words are reasonable!"

As soon as Gu Duanchen finished speaking, someone echoed him, but she was not the Great Clan Elder, nor was she any other clan elder, instead, she was the current Young Patriarch, Gu Xuan!

Gu Duanchen looked over, her bright eyes looking at Gu Xuan: "You also think that this matter is reasonable?"

"Of course it makes sense. The Young Patriarch should naturally let the strongest of the younger generation bear the burden, that's reasonable. Master Hou, what do you think?"

Gu Xuan spread out his hands and laughed as he spoke, but in the end, he asked the Marquis Zhanshan.

Marquis Zhanshan suspiciously looked at Gu Xuan, then nodded: "That's right."

Gu Xuan revealed a slight smile on his face: "Then letting the strongest person of Gu Family younger generation become a Young Patriarch, is also reasonable."

All of the elders were confused, but then they "understood". It was obvious that Gu Xuan wanted to give up the title of Young Patriarch to protect his own life.

Many people looked at Gu Xuan with ridicule in their eyes. Doing this was indeed reasonable, but previously, you foolishly made the Great Clan Elder and Gu Feng lose face, and now, even if you give way, would there still be a good result?

"Alright then!"

Gu Duanchen nodded her head, and said in a clear voice: "Since everyone has no objections, then the position of Young Patriarch, will be taken by Gu Feng."

"Stop!"

Just then, Gu Xuan stood up again and interrupted him.

"Demonstrating with the masses!" The Grand Elder snorted coldly.

Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows, and said smilingly: "I only said that the strongest amongst the younger generation should be the Young Patriarch, and I didn't say it was definitely Gu Feng, right?"

Quite a few elders frowned, feeling somewhat disgusted with Gu Xuan. Previously, there were a few who sympathized with Gu Xuan's plight, but now that they had given up on their Young Patriarch status and said such insignificant things, it made people noisy.

Other than Gu Feng, who else could possibly be the Most Powerful of Gu Family's younger generation?

Gu Xuan laughed, then revealed a cold expression. He stood up: "Gu Feng, I want to challenge you now, do you dare to fight?"

"Do you dare to battle?"

Lang Lang's voice reverberated in the hall, and many people looked at Gu Xuan as though they were looking at a fool.

Gu Xuan, a trash that hadn't even awakened Human Fire at the age of fifteen, actually dared to challenge Gu Feng? Not to mention whether you still have more awakened, even if you have already awakened, you are only a one star Spirit Level, how could you not overestimate yourself and challenge a four star Spirit Level?

"Hahaha!"

Gu Feng was startled at first, then laughed out loud. He suddenly stood up with an excited face: "Alright, I promise you!"

Gu Feng's heart was already in ecstasy. Although her father, Gu Duanchen, was the current Patriarch, in reality, she was only a substitute Clan Chief. If he wanted to become the Young Patriarch, it would not be in accordance with the rules.

However, Gu Xuan actually "recklessly" suggested that they should duel, which meant that Gu Xuan was looking for a path of no return.

Gu Duanchen raised her eyelids, and could not help but let out a sneer as well, and lightly said: "When the two of you fight, the family allows the victor to obtain the status of Young Patriarch."

Marquis Zhanshan glanced at Gu Xuan and narrowed his eyes. He had heard about Gu Xuan's previous affairs before. A trash that couldn't even awaken human flame at the age of fifteen actually wanted to challenge a genius who had a bit of fame in the Zhanshan County City.

Then, Marquis Zhanshan frowned. With his intuition, Gu Xuan did not seem to be such a person who did not know how high the heavens were and how deep the earth was.

This little fellow is rather interesting …
