Gu Ze, Gu Shen Lou, and Gu Shen Hua led forty Ancestor Immortals, pressing toward Zhong Shan with overwhelming force.
The Gossip Hall Area fell into a tense, hair-trigger standoff.
"Heh, so this is the Nine Halls as One?" Gu Qian You said coldly.
"Hmm?" Everyone turned toward Gu Qian You.
"Gu Qian You, what do you mean? Do you intend to make enemies of us? Defect from the Ancient Family?" Gu Shen Lou said in a deep voice.
Gu Qian You gave Gu Shen Lou a cold look and said disdainfully, "Defect? I think you're the ones planning to betray the Ancient Family!"
"What?" Gu Shen Lou's expression darkened.
"What kind of place is this? This is my Gossip Hall Area. Do you think this is somewhere you can run wild? Have you forgotten the Nine Halls Rules?" Gu Qian You barked coldly.
The gathered Ancestor Immortals fell silent.
"Hmph, Gu Qian You, even if you dress it up with the most dazzling rhetoric, today you must still choose between the Ancient Family and Zhong Shan!" Gu Shen Hua said coldly.
Gu Qian You gave a chilly laugh. "Ridiculous. Matters concerning my Gossip Hall are not yours to meddle in. Gu Ze has caused trouble without reason and trespassed into my Gossip Hall Area. I will report this to the clan master. Gu Shen Hua, did you bring the Qian Hall's Ancestor Immortals here to destroy the very foundation of my Gossip Hall? And you, Gu Shen Lou—aren't you no longer the Zhendian Hall Master? Yet you command the Zhendian Hall's Ancestor Immortals as if they were your servants. What do you take Gu Zi Xun for? I will certainly seek her advice on this matter!"
Gu Qian You's words were razor-sharp, stabbing straight into everyone's hearts like blades.
