Chapter 5004 Competing for the seat of successor disciple
Even if the people in the branch family are not fools, it can be seen that Li Ye is taking advantage of them.
But at this time, the people in the branch family pretended not to understand, and were willing to be used by Li Ye to make trouble. Some of the older generation strong men in the branch family even spoke directly.
"The rules of the Gu family are set by our ancestors. They cannot be changed at will, otherwise it will be a joke."
These words were lukewarm, and they sounded like they were for the sake of the family. But who didn’t know that the person who spoke was the elder of the branch family? These words were clearly a reminder to the Gu family members not to go too far.
After all, now that they can use this method to force Gu Lanxi away, how can they ensure that they will not do the same to the branch family Gu Tianchen and other geniuses for the benefit of the direct line of the clan?
People who have no long-term worries must have short-term worries. These people in the Gu family branch families are all shrewd old foxes. In recent years, although most of the Gu family's resources have been retained in the Gu family clan, some of them will be distributed to the major branch families.
But people's ambitions are endless. There are already conflicts between the branch families and the main clan. It is only because of the deterrence of several powerful ancestors of the Gu family and the immortal ancestor that they can interact with each other.
Peaceful and safe.
But this does not mean that the people of the branch family are free to do whatever they want with the meat on the chopping board.
Even though Gu Qiufeng, who is now the head of the family, is not targeting geniuses from any branch family, this attitude and bossy tactics have caused the geniuses of several branch families to change their expressions slightly and become worried.
"you"
Sure enough, as Li Ye spoke these words, the atmosphere of the entire scene became extremely subtle.
Although the elders of those branch families did not stand on his side openly, their attitude invisibly put a little pressure on Gu Qiufeng and others.
No matter how strong the clan is, once all the branch clans are provoked to attack together, he, the head of the clan, will probably be at his wits end.
Besides, what he was doing at the moment did go against the rules of the Gu family. If there was really going to be a riot, the ancestors above might not be able to help him.
But he was furious in his heart, because he never expected that Gu Lanxi, an ant brought back by a bastard, a nobody he could easily crush to death, would actually make him unable to get off the stage at this moment.
If it wasn't the right time to take action now, he would have already struck Li Ye with one palm.
"You are not from my Gu family. What qualifications do you have to make irresponsible remarks on the rules of the Gu family? Someone will kick this person out of the door."
At this time, Gu Ziang shouted in a deep voice
He knew that his father, Gu Qiufeng, must not act on his own initiative at this time, otherwise many people in the Gu family would secretly care about Gu Qiufeng's position as the head of the family, and if anyone was caught out, the gain would outweigh the loss.
So he stepped forward and sneered, "We, the Gu family, will decide on our own affairs. You, an outsider, have no right to stand here."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, but no one spoke for Li Ye.
Even the ancestor of the Immortal Lord on the high platform was silent. Although Li Ye's calm demeanor just now made him nod slightly, after all, he was not from the Gu family and was just an ant, so he was not qualified to save his life.
.
Even if he had to protect her, the ancestor of the Gu family would only protect Gu Lanxi.
"Who dares"
But just as Gu Ziang finished speaking, Gu Lanxi stood in front of Li Ye, her eyes filled with murderous intent, making it clear that she would not be polite to anyone who dared to deal with Li Ye.
"Gu Lanxi, don't forget your identity. You can't protect yourself now, so what qualifications do you have to care about others?"
Gu Ziang sneered, waved his hand, and saw that several seventh-grade immortals from the Gu family had stepped forward again.
Of course, they didn't dare to take action easily. They had seen how powerful Gu Lanxi was before, so they just stayed around. On the other side, Gu Ziang said in a deep voice, "Old Mu, thank you for your work."
"You're welcome, Ang. Since I accept your favor, I won't just sit back and ignore it."
It turned out to be the old man behind Gu Ziang
Many direct disciples of the Gu family are followed by strong men, and as Gu Ziang is the son of the current head of the Gu family, this is naturally the case.
He had spent a lot of money to invite Chen Qi before, and the old man in front of him was even more impressive.
He, Gu Ziang, has to be polite, because this is an eighth-level golden immortal and the most pinnacle existence among the eighth-level golden immortals. With half a foot in the realm of ninth-level profound immortal, even he, Gu Ziang, dare not say that he can win.
Pass this old man.
This person is also his biggest trump card in the Gu family's ancestral sacrifice this time.
The Eighth Grade Golden Immortal takes action
Naturally, it attracted the attention of many people in the Gu family.
Some people even exclaimed in a low voice, "Where did Gu Ziang find an eighth-grade golden immortal as his follower?"
"This old man is by no means an unknown person, but a rogue cultivator who was rampant for a while. I heard that if it weren't for his weird and moody personality, many sects would have invited him there in the early years. He promised to enshrine the position of elder, but he didn't expect that he would be
Gu Ziang was invited.”
The expressions of those who recognized the old man behind Gu Ziang changed slightly.
Especially the other geniuses of the Gu family, this time the ancestors of the Gu family are working hard to show their ambitions, especially in order to compete for the top ten seats and get the status of disciple of the Gu family's successor, they are trying their best.
At this time, there was an eighth-grade Golden Immortal standing next to Gu Ziang. He was also an old-style Eighth-grade Golden Immortal. Anyone else would feel numb.
Just when everyone thought that Gu Lanxi was going to pay the price for her impulse, they didn't expect that a majestic scolding directly interrupted everyone.
"enough"
Everyone felt a buzzing in their ears, and many people turned pale.
On the high platform, Gu Qiufeng's expression changed, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.
"The ancestral sacrifices of the Gu family have always been the most important part of the Gu family. The rules cannot be changed. This is the foundation of the Gu family."
Ancestor of the Immortal Lord
At this time, only the Immortal Lord Ancestor could ignore the wishes of Gu Qiufeng, the head of the family, and because the old man, one of the three Immortal Lord Ancestors on the high platform, spoke, Gu Ziang could only nod his head even if he did not want to.
Ask the old man behind you not to take action for the time being.
"Ancestor, it is true that the rules of the Gu family cannot be changed, but this person is not a member of our Gu family, but he is talking nonsense here. I sincerely ask the ancestor to agree to expel this person from the gate of the Gu family."
Although they cannot deal with Gu Lanxi justifiably, it is not difficult to drive away the people around Gu Lanxi.
They were even looking forward to Gu Lanxi impulsively fighting with them. Even if the Immortal Lord Ancestor was there to protect him, they wouldn't be able to say much.
There were many people present, and no one could see Gu Ziang's sinister thoughts. It was just that they were too lazy to intervene. After all, Gu Lanxi didn't even have the slightest power or backing behind her. What would happen even if she helped today?
It doesn't bring them any benefit at all.
The weak prey on the strong. In their eyes, Gu Lanxi is the weakest among so many people present.
"Who said he is not from the Gu family? He is my husband."
Just as the ancestor of the Immortal Lord hesitated slightly on the high platform, Gu Lanxi said loudly. After speaking, her pretty face turned slightly red, but her eyes were firm.
As soon as these words came out, everyone took a slight breath.
Even though they had long seen that Li Ye and Gu Lanxi had a close relationship, they still didn't expect that Gu Lanxi would be so desperate for a nobody with such a weak cultivation level.
"He is your husband, hahaha, Gu Lanxi. You are really from a lowly background, so you have such ridiculous vision in choosing a husband. You are such a waste, and you actually choose to get married."
Gu Ziang laughed loudly, with a sarcastic and contemptuous smile.
The same goes for other Gu family members.
Some people even shook their heads slightly, showing a hint of pity. After all, Gu Lanxi was extremely beautiful, and Qingguo Qingcheng had just killed a master like Chen Qi alone. With such strength and talent, even if she was unable to enter the third generation of the Gu family
Among the top ten disciples
At least he is a genius enough to attract the attention of the ancestors of the Gu family.
Sure enough, even the three Immortal Lord Ancestors on the high platform couldn't help but frown.
In their view, if Gu Lanxi returns to the family, her marriage will inevitably be decided by them. Whether she marries other geniuses of the Gu family or marries with other powerful sects and families, it is impossible for her to choose to marry a loser.
"He is my husband. As long as I am still a member of the Gu family, then he is not an outsider. Why should he be kicked out?"
Gu Lanxi didn't care what others thought, she made it clear that it was impossible for the Gu family to take action.
On the high platform.
Gu Qiufeng had regained his composure and asked with a sneer on his face, "Gu Lanxi, you have to understand what this sentence means."
"Of course I understand"
"Well, since he is your husband, he is indeed qualified to stand here."
Gu Qiufeng knew that if he wanted to take action now, the opportunity had been lost, so he did not continue to pester.
He knew very well how difficult it would be for Gu Lanxi to return to the Gu family.
Top Ten Ancestor Sacrifice
This is definitely not a simple matter.
Among the current third-generation disciples of the Gu family, there are talented demons who hope to compete for the ten successor disciple seats. There are at least a dozen people. Gu Lanxi wants to seize one of the seats from them. It is simply a fantasy.
Even though Gu Lanxi had just killed Chen Qi with her own hands and shocked everyone, everyone with a discerning eye knew that it was just that.
Gu Jiurong had lost his soul and was carried down. He had lost everything from the moment Chen Qi died.
On the high platform, Gu Jiurong's parents' faces were ashen.
They hated Gu Lanxi to the core. In their eyes, Gu Lanxi cut off their son's last hope of staying in the Gu family.
This kind of hatred is extremely strong.
"Does anyone else want to challenge?"
An elder of the Gu family asked in a deep voice, "There are three links in the Gu family's ancestral ritual."
The first step is that every hundred years, any direct disciples who are over three thousand years old and cannot cultivate to the seventh-grade heavenly realm will be deprived of their direct disciple status and kicked out of the family, and will stay away from the center of power of the Gu family.
Of course, these people are not without opportunities. If they are not strong enough, they can seek external help. Just like Gu Jiurong just now, they can rely on experts like Chen Qi to win a seat for him in the Gu family.
It's just that this kind of opportunity is rarely encountered. Even if a direct disciple of the Gu family is not strong enough, the possibility of recruiting a seventh-grade heavenly immortal or even an eighth-grade golden immortal as a follower is extremely slim.
A strong person who has reached that level of cultivation can no longer be impressed by ordinary yellow and white objects and rare treasures from heaven and earth. No matter how powerful the Gu family is, unless they themselves have huge potential, those strong people are not that stupid to follow a person.
Waste with no development potential.
At this moment, the other Gu family disciples who had been deprived of their identities were all dejected.
They knew very well that they had no chance, and no one would come forward to cause humiliation. Anyway, leaving the Gu family was not a desperate situation. The Gu family would arrange for them to take care of some properties, and their lives would be as smooth as ever.
He just lost the opportunity to enter the center of power of the Gu family and become a high-ranking elder of the Gu family in the future.
"Since there is no one to challenge, the next step is to compete for the seats of the ten disciples of the Gu family in the next hundred years."
The elder of the Gu family said in a deep voice, this is the most important aspect of the Gu family for countless years, and it is also the focus of all the ancestral sacrifices of the Gu family.
As expected, the words fell.
In the martial arts arena, many people's eyes became solemn.
Especially among the current third-generation disciples of the Gu family, the dozen or so outstanding people, each of them has eyes filled with scorching heat.
They are determined to win the position of successor disciple.
Several of them are disciples of the descendants themselves, and have won the top ten seats in the ancestral priests in the past hundred years, but now they will be replaced by others if they cannot keep it.
Soon, ten thrones were placed under the high platform
Each throne represents a successor disciple seat, which means that in the next hundred years, they will get the best preferential treatment from the Gu family, receive priority in countless cultivation resources, and even the elders will be courteous in front of them.
In the future, he is expected to be exposed to the most core cultivation techniques of the Gu family, which are all benefits that ordinary Gu family disciples cannot ask for.
Of course, there is a more important reason than these
"The top ten disciples of the Gu family also have another title, that is, the young master of the Gu family, the most powerful contender for the future head of the family. The successive heads of the Gu family were selected from among the top ten disciples, and the other nine who failed to be selected,
You can directly be promoted to the position of elder."
Li Ye's mind came to mind with all the rumors he had obtained after the gold-swallowing beast inquired about the Gu family.
It can be said that once Gu Lanxi can enter the top ten of the Gu family's ancestors today and become a disciple of the Gu family, then their status in the Gu family will undergo earth-shaking changes.
By then, not to mention cynicism, even the head of the Gu family would not dare to attack the successor disciples at will. At the same time, there is still hope to meet the legendary ancestor of the Gu family who is in the realm of immortals and stays in Taichen Palace to practice.
This is what Li Ye cares about most
The purpose of his coming to the Gu family is not to compete for power with the Gu family. His real purpose is to use the Gu family as a springboard to enter the Taichen Palace. The fastest way to enter the Taichen Palace is to use the Gu family's Immortal Lord
Recommended by our ancestors personally.
now
There are already people sitting on the ten successor disciple thrones.
It was exactly a hundred years ago that the ten geniuses of the Gu family who won seats in the last Gu family ancestral ceremony
Li Ye glanced over and saw that Gu Ziang was indeed sitting among them, with a proud and confident look on his face. (s:)
