You remained chaste on your wedding night, do you really think this holy son is a simp?

The ruins of the main hall were filled with the stench of blood.

After that punch, the whole world fell into a deathly silence.

That's a Supreme Elder.

Those were figures standing at the very top of the Immortal Ascension Sect, living fossils who were rarely seen.

Just minutes ago, he was high and mighty, arrogant and domineering, as if he could crush anyone in this hall with a flick of his finger.

But now, he is a dead body.

And he died so quickly and so pathetically.

He didn't even have time to say a last word before he was punched to death.

The disciples who had been watching the spectacle were now frozen in place, as if struck by lightning.

That's terrifying.

This is beyond their comprehension.

Several seconds passed.

"Whoosh—"

The crowd erupted in an instant; it wasn't cheering, but rather a release of extreme terror.

"I...I must have seen wrong, right?"

An inner disciple pinched his thigh hard, tears welling up in his eyes from the pain, but he didn't bother to wipe them away.

"The Holy Son actually killed the Supreme Elder?"

One of the disciples next to him was so frightened that he fell to the ground, his face ashen and his lips turning purple.

"How is this possible? That's a peak Nascent Soul stage expert! Just half a step away from the Void Refinement stage!"

"How come he was like a piece of paper in front of the Holy Son? One punch? Just that one punch? He couldn't even withstand it, and he was gone?"

Nobody could believe it, nobody could believe it.

"Is this fake? It must be an illusion!"

Some people are still deceiving themselves, trying to use this reason to soothe their hearts that are about to break.

"How could the Holy Son's strength be so terrifying?"

"Even the Supreme Elder is no match for him, so who in our sect will be able to deal with him in the future?"

fear.

A deep sense of fear spread through the crowd.

Their gazes changed completely as they looked at the figure in black with his hands behind his back in the center of the hall.

Gu Changyuan stood there, not even glancing at the group of disciples.

But the murderous aura emanating from him was like a mountain, making it hard for everyone to breathe.

It wasn't just the disciples who were terrified.

Even the few ancestors who had just broken through their barriers and rushed to the rescue were dumbfounded.

Especially the previous sect leader.

He was a master at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and a once-renowned figure.

He clearly shouted for them to stop just now.

He thought that, given his status and his reputation, Gu Changyuan would at least give him face and hesitate for a moment.

Even if it's just for show?

But the result?

Gu Changyuan not only didn't stop, but he acted even faster, killing the man right in front of him.

What is this?

This is a blatant slap in the face.

This shows a complete disregard for him, the old sect leader.

The old sect leader's face instantly turned extremely ugly.

The old sect leader took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently.

He took a few steps forward, stepping on the pebbles scattered on the ground, and stopped when he was less than ten meters away from Gu Changyuan.

His eyes were fixed on Gu Changyuan, filled with rage.

"Gu Changyuan, let me ask you, didn't I already tell you to stop? I shouted so loudly that the whole hall could hear me, didn't you hear me?"

The old sect leader pointed at the corpse on the ground, his fingers trembling.

"Why did you kill him? Why didn't you stop?!"

He genuinely couldn't understand it, and he was genuinely furious.

In the Feathered Immortal Sect, seniority is of utmost importance. He is the old sect leader, the elder, while Gu Changyuan is the junior.

It is only natural for younger people to listen to their elders.

But Gu Changyuan simply ignored it.

"Do you know what you're doing? No matter how big a mistake he made, no matter how wrong he is, he's still a Supreme Elder of the sect!"

"They are your grandmasters! They represent the face of our Feathered Immortal Sect. You are a holy son, a junior."

"How dare you attack him? And kill him in public? Do you have any respect for sect rules? Do you have any sense of hierarchy or seniority? You are utterly lawless!"

The old sect leader was spitting everywhere, looking so heartbroken that anyone who didn't know better would think Gu Changyuan had dug up his family's ancestral graves.

The previous elder, the old woman with the cane, also came up at this moment.

Her complexion was also not good.

Although she was also amazed by Gu Changyuan's talent, the Supreme Elder was, after all, a person from the same era as her.

Seeing her old friend die so tragically, she felt a sense of sorrow, like a rabbit mourning the death of a fox.

The old woman tapped her cane, making a loud thud on the ground.

"Gu Changyuan, you've gone too far! How could you be so audacious? He is a Supreme Elder, representing the sect's foundation and prestige."

"Not to mention that he is of a higher generation than you and is an elder you must respect, you must never lay a hand on him."

Even if we take a step back and assume you actually resort to violence, even if you really want to win, couldn't you at least injure him? Couldn't you at least suppress him?

"Why go so far as to kill him completely? Why resort to such cruelty, smashing his skull and annihilating his soul? By sparing his life, you are severing the very foundation of your sect!"

"We're all from the same sect, what grudge could there be that warrants going this far?"

These two ancestors were exchanging words.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Hearing this, the current elders who were lying on the ground pretending to be dead felt a glimmer of hope rise in their hearts.

They dared not touch Gu Changyuan.

But these two ancestors dared to do it.

If these two can keep Gu Changyuan in check, then they might still have a chance to survive.

however.

Gu Changyuan, the person involved, showed no change in expression when facing these two imposing ancestors.

even.

He also found it a little funny.

Gu Changyuan stood there, the thick stench of blood still lingering on him, making him appear both wicked and arrogant.

"Are you done talking?"

Gu Changyuan tilted his head, looking at the old sect leader who was red-faced and thick-necked with anger.

"You said you told me to stop? Of course I heard you."

Gu Changyuan shrugged, looking as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"The sound was so loud, I'm not deaf, how could I not hear it?"

The old sect leader became even angrier upon hearing this.

"You heard that and you still..."

Before the old sect leader could finish speaking, Gu Changyuan interrupted him.

"I heard you, but so what?"

This sentence almost made the old sect leader choke and faint.

Gu Changyuan's smile grew even colder.

"Just because I heard you doesn't mean I have to do it. Who do you think you are?"

Gu Changyuan looked the old sect leader up and down, his eyes full of disdain.

"I remember you were the previous sect leader, right? Since you were the previous one, you're a thing of the past."

"How many years have you been retired? Instead of enjoying your retirement in the back mountains, you're out here meddling in other people's business? What? The current sect leader can't control me, but you, a has-been sect leader, are you going to try and control us?"

That's a really harsh thing to say.

It was like stabbing the old sect leader in the heart.

The old sect leader trembled with rage, pointing at Gu Changyuan: "You...you traitorous disciple..."

Gu Changyuan didn't give him a chance to speak at all; he turned to look at the old woman.

"And you, what about ruthless extermination, what about camaraderie among fellow disciples? Where were you all when this old bastard tried to kill me?"

"Where were you all when that old bastard and his bunch of useless elders were trying to cripple me?"

"What? Back then, you didn't come out to reason with us, didn't come out to talk about camaraderie among fellow disciples."

"Now that he's dead, you're all coming out to play the saints?"

Gu Changyuan sneered, his eyes surging with killing intent once more.

"Don't put on airs like an elder to me, and don't mention sect rules to me. In this cultivation world, might makes right."

"To put it bluntly, what are you two? You're nothing but two old geezers clinging to life."

"Do you really think that just because you two old faces tell me to stop, I'll have to?"
