Chapter 208: Is the Gu Clan Going to War with the Hun Clan?
Even though the energy within the Heavenly Tomb is abundant and there is a mysterious time difference, it is still quite unbelievable for a Dou Saint-level expert to advance by two stars within three years inside.
At least, among the many people who have entered the Heavenly Tomb over the years, this is the first time anyone has made such terrifying progress.
At this moment, aside from the hidden Gu Clan elders who noticed Gu Fei's transformation, no one else present was aware of it.
"Mother, Father is out!"
"Father, I'm over here!"
Below, the two little ones, being held by Xiao Yi Xian and Cai Lin, waved excitedly at Gu Fei in the sky.
Gu Fei also noticed the two little ones below, a gentle smile appearing on his lips.
He was about to head down when he was blocked by a figure.
"Gu Fei, I ask you, was it you who killed Hun Ya and Hun Li?"
An elder from the Hun Clan, a Half-Saint level expert, confronted Gu Fei with a question.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he was breathing heavily, clearly wanting to kill Gu Fei on the spot.
This question drew the attention of everyone present. They thought that if it were true that Gu Fei killed the two from the Hun Clan, then today's situation might get troublesome.
"The people of the Hun Clan are bold! If we weren't in the Gu Realm, I would have crushed his skull by now!" Zi Yan's expression immediately turned icy when she saw someone blocking Gu Fei.
"Yeah, Aunt Zi Yan, that guy doesn't look like a good person! He's wasting Father's time!" The two little ones, Xian Yue and Wu Shuang, immediately echoed Zi Yan's words.
"Yes, I killed them. So what?"
Hearing the shout, Gu Fei frowned, his light reply shocking everyone.
They hadn't expected Gu Fei to openly admit to killing the two from the Hun Clan, a fact that could severely deteriorate the relationship between the two clans and even potentially lead to war.
"You all heard him; he admitted to killing two of my clan members!" The Hun Clan elder's face turned red as he addressed the many ancient clan representatives present. He intended to use the crowd's emotions to pressure the Gu Clan, not letting Hun Ya and Hun Li die in vain.
"Why didn't Gu Fei deny it? If he had just denied it, who could have proven it was him?" Gu Qing Yang, puzzled by the scene, couldn't understand Gu Fei's reasoning.
"Maybe Brother Gu Fei doesn't care to hide it. After all, it's just two Hun Clan members. They deserved to die, especially since they attacked me first!" Xun'er whispered in response, her words leaving Gu Qing Yang in shock and silently applauding Gu Fei for killing them.
"This is the Gu Clan's territory, and this is how they treat their guests? How can anyone feel safe coming to the Gu Realm in the future? They kill people without any regard for reason!" The Hun Clan elder continued to incite the crowd, trying to tarnish the Gu Clan's reputation.
"Nonsense! It was your Hun Clan members who ambushed me in the Heavenly Tomb, and Brother Gu Fei only killed them because he saw it happening!" Xun'er finally couldn't hold back and shouted at the Hun Clan elder.
"Is that true?" Gu Nanhai, who had been trying to defuse the situation, couldn't help but show anger after hearing Xun'er's words. If true, then the two from the Hun Clan deserved to die.
"Lies! Everyone knows that Gu Fei was only a Half-Saint. With him around, would Hun Ya and Hun Li do something so foolish?" The Hun Clan elder immediately tried to defend himself, knowing that their plan was to have an ancestor of the Hun Clan kill Gu Fei in the third layer.
Below, Xiao Yi Xian and Cai Lin, hearing Xun'er's words, showed no jealousy or major emotional reactions. To them, it wasn't strange that Gu Fei, their former husband, would save Xun'er if he saw her in danger.
As for Gu Fei's safety, they weren't worried at all. With so many Gu Clan experts present, the Hun Clan wouldn't be able to cause trouble.
"So, what do you want to do about it?" Gu Fei asked coldly as the Hun Clan elder continued his argument.
"A life for a life- ah!" The Hun Clan elder's words were cut short as Gu Fei's hand reached out and grabbed his throat.
The strength of that grip filled the Hun Clan elder with terror. Despite being a Dou Saint, he couldn't resist at all.
"Two ants- they deserved to die! And you think I should pay with my life?" Gu Fei's face was full of disdain.
"Gu Fei, release Elder Hun Xian immediately! Does your Gu Clan intend to go to war with the Hun Clan?" Seeing this, another elder from the Hun Clan, who was dealing with Hun Ya and Hun Li's bodies, tried to stop Gu Fei loudly.
This scene caused some members of the Gu Clan present to frown. Gu Fei's actions seemed a bit extreme. Although the relationship between the Gu and Hun Clans had never been good, this might push it to a breaking point.
"Whether there's a war or not isn't up to you! And even if there is, does my Gu Clan fear the Hun Clan?" Gu Fei coldly retorted before snapping the Hun Clan elder's neck.
A mighty Half-Saint was killed as easily as a chick in Gu Fei's hands.
Once again, Gu Fei's power shocked everyone present.
"A Half-Saint was killed so easily. Gu Fei's strength must be at least at the One-Star Dou Saint level!"
"One-Star Dou Saint? No way. His strength is likely at the Two-Star Dou Saint level!"
"What a monster! How did he cultivate to this level..."
At this point, the last remaining Hun Clan member, looking at the dead elder, was both furious and terrified. He couldn't be sure that Gu Fei, this madman, wouldn't kill him next.
"Gu Fei, why are you acting so rashly today?" Gu Nanhai, watching the scene, was surprised but not overly concerned. As Gu Fei had said, if this led to war, the Gu Clan wouldn't fear it. After all, for thousands of years, the Gu Clan had always considered itself the strongest among the ancient clans.
Gu Fei released his grip, letting the Hun Clan elder's body fall to the ground. His gaze swept over the remaining Hun Clan elder but didn't make another move.
Leaving him alive meant he could return to the Hun Clan and report what had happened, perhaps exaggerating the story. Gu Fei's current intention was to escalate the situation. That way, the Hun Clan would have to be more cautious in its actions.
This might even delay the Hun Clan's grand plan that had been brewing for a thousand years, and as long as the Ling Clan, Shi Clan, and others remained unharmed, the Hun Clan's power wouldn't completely overshadow the Gu Clan as it did in the original story.
