299 Great Elder Appears (1/2)

”Isn't that the Dafang Sect's elder, Jiang Youxi? As the Dafang Sect's Great Elder, why has he appeared in the Sect Leader Preliminary assessment?”

”That's right, he is a terrifying figure at the pinnacle of the Qi Nucleation realm cultivation. As the Dafang Sect's Great Elder, going forth to deal with an ordinary youth, isn't that a little too…”

”That youth is probably in for a beatdown. Just now, he killed two Jiang Clan Qi Nucleation realm experts consecutively. Probably Jiang Youxi's appearance is to retaliate against him.”

”That's a little unfair. A person at the pinnacle of the Qi Nucleation realm has appeared to deal with just one person. The caves that had a few people in them did not have such incredible experts appearing.”

…

Once Jiang Youxi had appeared, many people instantly recognized him. The square was suddenly filled with the sound of excited discussion. Everyone was discussing why the Dafang Sect's Great Elder would appear during the preliminary assessment.

”That Jiang Youxi is very strong. Mo Wen encountering him is most likely a turn for the worst.” Hu Guiyuan frowned. He naturally recognized Jiang Youxi. He was a veteran figure in the Jiang Clan of the same generation as the two relics, Jiang Quangui and Jiang Quanfu. However, his qualification was not as high as theirs, as up until now he had not broken through to the Embryonic Breathing realm.

However, among the Jiang Clan, he was also the person most likely to break through to the Embryonic Breathing realm. His Cultivation was not lower than theirs.

Hu Qiongqi said with an indifferent expression, ”The Jiang Clan is obviously making things difficult for Mo Wen. Or, it should be said that the Jiang Clan wishes to eliminate this hidden danger. Before this, he had displayed such a strong power. The Jiang Clan would naturally not send their small fry to deal with him. If I were him, I would not stand out so much and would keep a low profile. With his ability, maybe he can preserve his life.”

Before this, if Mo Wen had not stood out so much and killed two Qi Nucleation realm experts from the Jiang Clan consecutively, but instead reluctantly pretended to win by a hair's breadth, he would have certainly not drawn a strong practitioner like Jiang Youxi to attack him.

Now that Mo Wen had displayed such a strong ability, as well as talent that would make people envious, the Jiang Clan would want to eliminate him as soon as they could.

”That's right. Although that youth has staggering talent, in terms of mentality, he is not as good as you. After all, he is still a bit too young and lacks training.” A glint of praise flashed in Hu Guiyuan's eyes. When he looked at his son, he no longer thought he was worse than Mo Wen.

...

Gu Jingman clenched her fist and said with some anger, ”That's unfair, absolutely unfair! How can they send out such a powerful figure to deal with Mo Wen? Mo Wen is alone, and he met a pinnacle of the Qi Nucleation realm strong practitioner. The other caves have four or five people, and yet no such strong practitioner has appeared to block their way.”

How could they send out figures like the Great Elder to deal with Mo Wen? They obviously intended to make things difficult for him. Those who had discerning eyes could see that Great Elder Jiang Youxi's appearance was certainly violating the fairness and justice of the preliminary.

”He just killed two Jiang Clan elders. Most likely the Jiang Clan is somewhat angry. Judging from the previous incidents, maybe he has a vendetta against the Jiang Clan. You had better not meddle in things like this,” Gu Zelin said helplessly. So what if it is unfair? The Dafang Sect is selecting a sect leader. What does this have to do with an outsider like you?

Also, now anyone could tell that the appearance of this youth had caused changes in the Dafang Sect Leader Preliminary. The series of events seemed to be brewing up a storm. Others were avoiding it, afraid of being dragged in, but his own niece was instead so nosy.

”How can I not be concerned? He is my brother. That's it. I must object. That Jiang Clan cannot possibly act so unjustly so publicly.” Gu Jingman's face tensed as she got up and prepared to walk onto the high platform.

”Sit down. What is the use of you protesting? They will not entertain you. Also, you had better not think about rallying people to protest together. Mo Wen seems to have nothing to do with them. Would they offend the Jiang Clan for him?”

Gu Zelin's eyes and hands were very swift, catching Gu Jingman and pulling her back, pressing her down onto her seat.

”You had better not do such a foolish and meaningless act. What can you change alone? Will the Jiang Clan look at you and take you seriously? You getting involved in this matter is bringing trouble upon yourself, as well as the Gu Clan Fort. Think thrice, think thrice before you act.”

Gu Zelin's face was serious as he reprimanded Gu Jingman. Her behavior had already affected the safety of the clan. He naturally could not let her run wild.

”Then, what do we do now?” Gu Jingman said anxiously.

”What can we do? Of course, we will see how things develop. After all, you cannot change anything. Don't let yourself bring trouble to others. Also, that Mo Wen might be fine. With the ability he displayed just now, even if he can't win against that Jiang Youxi, he certainly has the ability to defend himself.”

At that moment, Gu Zelin could only try to comfort Gu Jingman as much as possible. Otherwise, who knew what this crazy little girl would do?
