Chapter 131: 16) The Hidden realm!

The Supreme Elder's expression faltered slightly, a flicker of unease passing across his weathered features, his mouth dry, heart trapped in unknown sensation like a bird trapped in cage.

"I... I see a profound darkness, Young Master Gu. A darkness that seems to reach into the very depths of one's soul," The elder's voice wavered, betraying his growing discomfort.

Gu Changge's lips curled into a wry smile, his fingers drumming lightly against the hilt of his jade token at his waist as of he was trying to intimidate the Supreme Elder.

"Ah, so you sense it too - the power that lies dormant within me. A power that has been carefully honed and cultivated over the years, forged in the crucible of my ambition..."

He took a step closer to the Supreme Elder, his presence seemingly expanding to fill the entire space. "Tell me, Elder, do you truly believe that a mere Tradh like Yang Khan can stand against the might of the Gu Clan? Against the weight of my ambition? He alone?..."

Gu Changgee tapped the shoulders of Supreme Elser to show him who was in charge here,

The elder's brow furrowed, his mind racing to comprehend the implications of Gu Changge's words.

"Young Master Gu, surely you don't mean to -"

The Supreme elder haven't lived his entire life under a single room not to understand what Young Master Gu meant.

Gu Changge raised a hand, silencing the elder with a subtle gesture, winning the battle of psychological superiority within seconds.

"I mean exactly what I say, Elder. The Yang Clan has outlived its usefulness, and his refusal to cooperate with the Gu Clan can no longer be tolerated... What's more, the mighty heir of Yang Family is alone. I didn't use a secret tool to bring all you elders here to watch..." His tone was soul-chilling capable of even freezing water instantly.

"Remember a old tiger always gets feasted in by a group of hyenas... Don't be short sighted, as long as no witness remains, the Yang Family and Gu family won't get into a clash... one must master how to attack lethal and brutal without exposing oneself, battle of chess isn't won by numbers of prices but the intellect of players... A blundered queen is more useless than a guarded pawn,"

"I hope Supreme Elder can be a little useful rather than being dead meat..."

The Supreme Elder's face paled as the true gravity of Gu Changge's words sunk in.

The young master's cold logic struck him to the core, leaving him paralyzed with a sense of dread.

He felt helplessness against a brat.

"Young Master Gu, I - I cannot condone such actions. The Gu Clan has always upheld justice and righteousness. T-To orchestrate the elimination of the Yang Clan's Heir, regardless of their transgressions, would be a grievous breach of our principles!" The elder's voice wavered, betraying his mounting unease.

He cussed the Young Master Gu in his heart, not knowing how he was able to change the perception of Elder.

At the same time.

[Ding! The host has used a Luck-suppressing scroll to suppress the luck of Yang Khan ]

Swoosh~ swish!

The air crackled with palpable tension as the Supreme Elder glared at Yang Khan, his eyes narrowing to slits, cold as ice.

Gu Changge's words had struck a deep chord within him, shattering his long-held notions of righteousness to weak.

Gu Changgee was correct, a weak doesn't necessarily mean right.

With a subtle flick of his wrist, the Supreme Elder summoned an orb of swirling energy, its surface rippling like the surface of a troubled pond.

"So be it, Young Master Gu. If the Yang Khan has truly fallen so far, then I suppose I have no choice but to carry out your wishes,"

The orb pulsed with an ominous light, tendrils of energy snaking out to ensnare Yang Khan.

The young heir's eyes widened in alarm as he desperately attempted to evade the attack, his body blurring with the speed of his movements.

"Junior, you cannot escape the gravity of your own transgressions!" the Supreme Elder roared, his voice laced with a hint of remorse.

The orb's tendrils lashed out, wrapping around Yang Khan's limbs and torso, binding him in place.

Yang Khan's face contorted in agony as the energy began to siphon his life force, his cultivation rapidly depleting. "Curse you, Gu Changge! This is not... over..." he managed to gasp out, his words punctuated by the gurgling of blood.

Meanwhile, the other Gu Clan elders and servants sprang into action, their bodies infused with arcane energies as they engaged the onlooking cultivators.

Blasts of elemental magic crackled through the air, earth rupturing, and lightning shattering the very fabric of reality.

Everyone here needs to die... Some things have never happened if no one saw it.
