The Situ Clan.
Situ Xiaosen and Situ Yunqi were now lying on the ground, and even their father, Situ Qingshi, was kneeling on the ground, breathing heavily, his face full of disbelief.
Their gazes were all focused on a young man, a young man of great vigor, who stood quietly in the center of the villa's courtyard, like an insurmountable mountain, emanating a heavy pressure.
Just over ten minutes ago, this young man suddenly arrived at their Situ Clan and, as if utterly devastating, knocked them all down.
"Gu Chen... your strength is actually this great!"
Situ Qingshi's eyes flashed with shock. Having lived for so long, he had seen countless geniuses, but he had never seen such an exaggerated existence as Gu Chen, who had reached the Late Revolving Illumination Realm at the young age of twenty!
Yes, Gu Chen didn't hold back at all this time. The three of them didn't pay much attention at first, but when they were no match for Gu Chen even when they joined forces, they were deeply shocked.
Late Revolving Illumination Realm!
This level of strength is beyond their reach!
"If I weren't strong enough, how could I dare to come to the Shangjing, and how could I dare to cause trouble for your Situ Family?"
Gu Chen's lips curled into a cold smile as he said, "Now, do you still want to continue?"
The three exchanged a glance, speechless. They couldn't believe that just a dozen minutes ago they had planned to cause trouble for the Gu Family, father and son, but now Gu Chen had taken them down single-handedly. The slap in the face came too quickly, and they simply couldn't accept it!
Situ Xiaosen.
Gu Chen muttered to himself, then looked at Situ Xiaosen and said coldly, "Do you remember how you treated my father back then?"
Situ Xiaosen simply gritted his teeth, his bloodshot teeth clenched, and remained silent.
Gu Chen said, "If you don't remember, I can help you recall! Back then, my father was having dinner with you at a restaurant, and you humiliated him, even demanding that he kneel down. In the end, you went to the Gu Family to demand an explanation, forcing Gu Family to make a decision and drive my father away!"
"Is that so?" Situ Xiaosen's eyes flickered, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I don't remember."
"Of course you don't remember." Gu Chen glared at him resentfully and said, "You are the eldest son of the prestigious Situ Clan, the heir to a one-star family. My father was nothing but a joke who failed to break through. As for the so-called Four Young Masters of Shangjing, I'm afraid you never took him seriously back then."
"Even if this hadn't happened, the Gu Family would have kicked you and your son out anyway," Situ Xiaosen said. "I was just a trigger, a death warrant; I wasn't the main cause of this."
Situ Xiaosen felt extremely aggrieved when he said those words.
Who is he? He's a powerful expert at the Revolving Illumination Realm!
He is the eldest son of the Situ Clan! Once the leader of the Four Young Masters of Shangjing!
He never imagined that someone as proud as him would have to explain himself so humbly in front of a junior!
But the current situation forces him to do this!
The murderous intent in Gu Chen's eyes was undisguised; if he didn't answer, this person would really kill him!
"But it's a fact that you insulted my father!" Gu Chen remained unmoved, coldly looking at him, and said, "Do you know why I've come here today?"
"You just want to humiliate me back, don't you?" Situ Xiaosen glared at Gu Chen maliciously and said, "But you think you can make me kneel before Gu Beichi? You're dreaming!"
"That's backbone!"
Gu Chen's murderous intent surged, and he coldly said, "However, having backbone isn't always a good thing; it can be a bad thing! For example, you might have to pay the price with your backbone, and with the fate and future of the entire Situ Clan!"
"Are you threatening me?"
Situ Xiaosen scoffed, "You think I'm easily intimidated? It's true we're currently at your mercy and weaker than you, but you should also be aware of the Situ Clan's background. You think you can use this to negotiate with us? Dream on!"
"Now that you've experienced my power, do you still think you're dreaming?"
Gu Chen said in a cold voice, "Destroying your Situ Clan will be as easy as turning my hand, just like destroying Gu Changfeng!"
The surrounding air seemed to suddenly become heavy and stuffy, filled with a suffocating, viscous atmosphere of death.
"You can indeed wipe out our Shangjing Situ..."
At this moment, Situ Qingshi finally spoke slowly, saying, "But you must understand that the Situ Clan of Land of Heaven and Earth is our main family. Our main family has no shortage of experts in the Late Revolving Illumination Realm! Your strength is indeed very strong, but if you want to go your own way, then you must consider what consequences your Gu Family will have to pay after you do this!"
"The Situ Clan has quite the eloquence; they even dare to threaten me with their own family name."
Gu Chen sneered and said, "However, even if people from your main family were here, do you think I would be afraid?! Even if I really can't beat them, I can always run away. With my abilities, I can hide for three to five years. Once I come out, will your Situ Clan still have any peace of mind?"
All three of them gasped.
It has to be said that Gu Chen's words had a huge impact on them.
Yes, Gu Chen has reached the Late Revolving Illumination Realm at such a young age, and this level of strength is rare even in the Land of Heaven and Earth. He is at least among the top thirty on the Dragon Ranking!
Even if the Situ Clan has martial artists with similar cultivation levels, are they truly confident they can kill Gu Chen?
If he can't be killed, Gu Chen will naturally run away!
With Gu Chen's talent, if he were given a few years or even a decade or more, they simply couldn't imagine how far he would grow!
You win!
After his expression changed several times, Situ Qingshi Shi finally looked dejected.
Admittedly, Gu Chen can gamble, but he cannot gamble with the future of the Situ Clan!
Their backing is nothing more than their own family in the Land of Heaven and Earth, and Gu Chen is not even afraid of his own family, so naturally he has no trump card or confidence to negotiate with Gu Chen at this moment.
"Actually, I came here today only to deliver an invitation to the Situ Clan, not to have a falling out with your Situ Clan."
Gu Chen said, "Since Situ Family is cooperating, our matter is much easier to handle."
Invitation?
All three of them gave a wry smile. "What kind of invitation is this?"
But Situ Qingshi held back and asked, "What invitation?"
"I request that your Situ Clan come to my Gu Family in three days to see the invitation to the enthronement ceremony!"
Gu Chen held the invitation between two fingers, then tossed it in front of Situ Qingshi, saying, "You know perfectly well what your son should do then!"
Situ Xiaosen understood Gu Chen's meaning perfectly well. His forehead veins bulged, and he roared, "A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!"
"It seems your father only taught you half of what he taught you."
Gu Chen said coldly, "The saying goes, 'He who insults others will always be insulted in return!'"
After a pause, just as Gu Chen was about to say something more, the phone rang.
Upon seeing that it was Jiang Qi calling, he frowned at first, then answered. Less than two minutes later, his expression changed drastically, and he said coldly, "What did you say?!"
