"One favor will be enough!"
Ancient Realm, Meeting Hall.
Seeing that both Grand Supreme Elders shared the same opinion, Gu Yuan frowned.
However, he neither agreed nor disagreed.
"Ah, how about this? I'll go there myself and first ensure the safety of the Black Smoke King and Elder Gu Dao. As for the rest, we'll see what Xiao Tian Ce has to say," Gu Yuan said with a sigh.
"Thank you for your efforts, Clan Chief. Unless absolutely necessary, please do not provoke Xiao Tian Ce. The Xiao Clan is powerful now, far stronger than our Gu Clan. If a conflict breaks out between you and Xiao Tian Ce, fighting between our clans will be all but inevitable," one of the Three Immortals of the Gu Clan said with a sigh.
"Indeed. Even if Xiao Tian Ce deliberately makes things difficult for you, you can agree to his demands first if there's no other choice. We can decide what to do once you've all returned safely.
"If the Xiao Clan truly goes too far in bullying us, we aren't helpless freeloaders either. At worst, we'll fight to the death and give them a struggle where the fish dies and the net breaks."
Hearing the two elders' words, Gu Yuan nodded solemnly before sighing. "It hasn't come to that yet. Xiao Tian Ce is calm and composed, not impulsive.
"Rest assured, I'll bring our clansmen back safely."
With that, Gu Yuan vanished in a flash.
A moment later, he arrived at the place where the Gu Clan enshrined the Tou She Ancient God Jade.
"Clan Chief!"
The Gu Clan Elder had been about to attack, but upon recognizing Gu Yuan, he immediately bowed.
"No need for formalities. I've come to take a look. Sorry for the trouble," Gu Yuan said politely.
