If Gu Xuan had only not knelt down, he would at most have been beaten to a pulp by Lin Qian, and had humiliated for a period of time. Although this was painful, at least he had a chance of survival.
But Gu Xuan was actually challenging the clan elders, this was simply suicidal.
"Zong …" Sect Master! "
Lin Qian looked at Gu Xuan in a daze and swallowed his saliva in a dry manner. He had never thought that the Division Head s sent by his sect would actually be just a mere Seven Stars Sovereign Level.
If it was Peak Sovereign Level, he would still pay attention. Seven Stars Sovereign Level, he only treated Gu Xuan as a trash.
The person that he had thought to kill to set an example for others was actually above him.
"Master?" When Qin Fan heard this form of address, he was also stunned. He looked at Gu Xuan in disbelief, his eyes wide open.
This seemingly thin, weak, and even a bit ordinary person, the person he had been threatening to take care of along the way, was actually the sub-school's Sect Master who had come down from the sect?
What was this?
Isn't the Division Head only a Nine Stars Sovereign Level? Why is Gu Xuan only a Seven Stars Sovereign Level?
"I'll give you three breaths of time. Either kneel down, or die!"
"One!"
"Two!"
"Plop!"
Without waiting for Gu Xuan to finish counting, Lin Qian immediately knelt down, his face full of fear.
He was only a King Level, and being the lord of this branch sect was nothing, but that was when the sects did not send down their Division Head s, and once the sects sent down their Division Head s, they would only be able to look up to them.
To be able to become a Division Head, one had to at least be a Top Genius of a sect, an existence that had hopes of obtaining Master Level in the future, or even the later stages of the Master Level!
What could a mere King Level count for in the eyes of such an existence? It was a simple matter to kill.
Although Martial Cultivator s with Peak Sovereign Level above are not allowed to enter the Realm of Chaos, if a certain sect sends out experts to clean up the mess, it would not be forbidden.
And no matter how precious his King Level was, it was not even worth mentioning when compared to the sect's Top Genius s.
"I was in a daze and did not recognize the sect head. I beg of the sect head to atone for his sins!" Lin Qian prostrated on the ground and said with a trembling voice.
Qin Fan was kneeling on the ground, his mouth agape. It was difficult for him to control the emotions in his heart, and the gaze he used to look at Mu Guan was full of admiration and regret.
Just a sentence, even an existence like Lin Qian was trembling in fear. How terrifying was this youngster who was a little younger than his?
"Senior brother Qin, stand up. I already said that he might not be able to deal with us." Gu Xuan looked at Qin Fan and laughed as well.
"Oh, okay." Qin Fan finally regained his senses, but his heart was filled with a bitter smile. He had thought that Gu Xuan was someone who "didn't understand the rules", and had earnestly tried to persuade Gu Xuan not to seek death.
But who would know of Gu Xuan's identity?
Looking at Lin Qian who was kneeling on the ground, Qin Fan's eyes were filled with joy. This Lin Qian had previously been overbearing, bullying the weak disciples of his clan, and even forcefully snatching from them, but now, he had finally kicked an iron board.
"Lin Qian, you have such big guts. A mere King Level actually made other disciples kneel, and even established a rule. I think the sect still doesn't know about your rule, right?"
Gu Xuan coldly said as he looked at Lin Qian.
"Sect Leader, spare us!" Lin Qian's cold sweat dripped down, how would he dare to let the sect know about this rule? It was that the sect had too many branches of power, and their Realm of Chaos was relatively lacking in oil, this was why it didn't matter. If the sect truly started to fight, even if they didn't kill the three of them, they would still be severely punished.
"You don't deserve to die, hand over the two thousand Fire Condensing Pill." Gu Xuan looked at Lin Qian and said indifferently.
"Two … Two thousand Fire Condensing Pill?" Lin Qian suddenly raised his head, his eyes wide open.
"If you don't hand it over, then die! Just make your own choice. " Gu Xuan swept his eyes across Lin Qian.
"I'll hand it over, I'll hand it over!" Lin Qian clenched his teeth, his face was filled with pain, he took out two thousand Fire Condensing Pill s and controlled them to float in front of him.
He was filled with helplessness as most of the Top Genius s that were sent by the sects would come here to gain experience. As for obtaining the Fire Condensing Pill, it was secondary, not to mention these Top Genius s all valued his identity.
How could they be like Gu Xuan, who could directly make him use a Fire Condensing Pill to atone for his crimes?
Luckily, his accumulation over the years was quite abundant. Even though two thousand Fire Condensing Pill were painful to him, he wasn't completely broke.
Gu Xuan kept the Fire Condensing Pill and glared at Lin Qian: "Hand over another two thousand."
Ah!" Lin Qian's expression changed. He had already handed over two thousand. Why did the Ancient Profound need another two thousand?
"Among your Space Ring, there are a total of more than 4500, looks like you have also obtained a lot of oil from the branch sect. If you hand over these 2000 Fire Condensing Pill, I will spare your life, if not, you will die!"
Gu Xuan coldly said. From the moment Lin Qian had opened the Space Ring, he had already sensed Lin Qian's family assets.
"Sect Leader, do you have to force me onto a dead end?" Lin Qian's eyes revealed a bit of viciousness, Gu Xuan's request also completely infuriated him.
Even if he was any more afraid of Gu Xuan, he was still a member of the King Level. Gu Xuan only had Seven Stars Sovereign Level, Gu Xuan repeatedly forced him, and this only made Lin Qian angry. If Gu Xuan only wanted it once, and he still admitted defeat, Gu Xuan actually wanted all of his family assets!
Although Gu Xuan had a noble identity, he was still small and weak. If he killed Gu Xuan and planted the blame on another force, even the sects might not be able to find out.
"Pfft!"
A black light flashed, and Lin Qian's right arm was forcibly sliced off.
Ah!" Lin Qian's expression changed. He had already handed over two thousand. Why did the Ancient Profound need another two thousand?
Lin Qian screamed in pain but more importantly, he was shocked because despite his King Level, Gu Xuan could actually cut off an arm in an instant.
The black light flew back to the top of Gu Xuan's palm and started to slowly spin.
"Ah, top Common Tier Spiritual Treasure!" The moment Lin Qian saw the Black Iron Sheet, his face lost all its color and he screamed again.
"Hand over all your Fire Condensing Pill or die!" Gu Xuan controlled the Black Iron Sheet and said with killing intent.
"I'll hand it over!"
With a wave of his hand, another 2500 Fire Condensing Pill s floated out and were all sucked away by Gu Xuan.
If Gu Xuan only relied on his status of sect master, he would still be able to bargain with Gu Xuan. However, since Gu Xuan had such a strong power, he had no way of resisting.
"If you had known this long ago, you would have been able to keep some of your family assets. What's the point of things like this?" Gu Xuan scoffed.
He did not pity Lin Qian at all. He did not like to rob and steal from people, but if someone dared to provoke him, he would not be polite either.
Under the pressure of strength, either they would give up their lives, or they would be killed!
Qin Fan swallowed his saliva, and looked at Gu Xuan with an unusual expression.
With just a word, he was able to make an existence like Lin Qian kneel down. With a single move, he could break one of Lin Qian's arms!
"Alright, you can scram now." Gu Xuan glanced at Lin Qian and said indifferently.
"Thank you, Sect Master!" Lin Qian clenched his teeth, picked up the arm and turned to leave.
"Qin Fan, now lead me to the Branch Sect's Main Hall." Gu Xuan turned his head and said to Qin Fan.
"Alright!" Joy appeared in Qin Fan's eyes. He could feel that Gu Xuan was such a terrifying existence, it would be an honor to be able to serve such an existence.
After Gu Xuan arrived at the Main Hall, he let Qin Fan analyze the formation of the branch sects in detail. After a long while, Gu Xuan roughly understood the circumstances of the branch sects and only then did he allow Qin Fan to leave.
Gu Xuan sat on the seat of honor, and slightly frowned.
Only now did he understand why the sect valued this place so little, and why they allowed the sub-schools to develop on their own.
For example, the forces of a few sects like the Heavenly Abyss Pavilion had already developed seven or eight King Level Martial Cultivator s, and some of them even exceeded the double digits.
And from the beginning till the end, only Lin Qian, the three old fellows were any more, those who came from the young generation were all excluded from the sect. The truly talented people were also unable to grow because of the three elders' carelessness.
"Forget it, now that I have obtained more than 4500 Fire Condensing Pill, I should first break through into the next realm. As for the matters of the branch sects, it's not too late to settle it later."
Gu Xuan made up his mind and went straight to the cultivation room.
In the last twenty odd days, Gu Xuan had already raised his realm to the peak of Seven Stars Sovereign Level, and even neared it incomparable.
The foundation that the Saint Stage Expert laid for him was far more than enough to double or even multiply Gu Xuan's cultivation speed by several times.
Previously, Gu Xuan estimated that six thousand Fire Condensing Pill were needed to break through Eight Stars Sovereign Level, but now these four thousand pills were more than enough.
Breaking through to the Eight Stars Sovereign Level, relying on the Black Iron Sheet, Gu Xuan could also contend against the Martial Cultivator s of the King-Level Samsung. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he reached the strongest in the entire branch sects.
Although he was the sect master and had the support of the sect, he still needed strength to speak with absolute authority. There was also a King-Level Samsung Martial Cultivator within the branch sect.
If it was now, with the King-Level Samsung Martial Cultivator going against him, Gu Xuan would have no choice but to report back to the sect first.
But after breaking through, Gu Xuan was not happy, he could directly kill him, and that would be that simple!
Being Division Head and being unable to handle this power, that was truly a joke.
"Disciple is the Sect Master of the Main Sect, but Master is actually the Sect Master of a branch sect. This must be interesting." Gu Xuan laughed lightly, and then closed his eyes and recuperated.
Let's break through the Eight Stars Sovereign Level first!
