The Gu Clan's cultivators all greeted him in unison, "Clan Master."
"Clan Master, you're awake. That's great. It's good that you're fine. It's good that you're still alive." A Gu Clan Tribulation Transcender's eyes were red as tears of joy welled up in his eyes.
"Hmph, if I were to die, someone would be very happy." Gu Changsheng said in a stern voice, his eyes filled with cold killing intent.
"This..."
"Clan Master, what do you mean by this?"
When the Gu Clan's people heard this, they were all confused and puzzled.
However, Chen Xiao, who was a bystander, vaguely understood something. It seemed that some people were going to be unlucky.
Gu Changsheng's face turned red, and his voice carried a sense of weakness and trembling. However, he did not hesitate in the slightest. He glanced around, and hundreds of thousands of Gu Clan's people surrounded him.
Among these people, there were familiar faces, and there were also unfamiliar faces. And what truly infuriated him was that the faces that should have been here did not appear.
Gu Chengquan!
"Gu Clan's people, listen up." At this time, Gu Changsheng forcefully gathered his spirit and gave the order.
"Yes."
Everyone replied in unison. Gu Feng and Gu Lanyue were also among them.
"From today onwards, Gu Feng will be the next Clan Master, and Gu Lanyue will be the Vice Clan Master. All of the Gu Clan's people will have to listen to the two of them. Those who disobey will be treated as traitors and will be killed without mercy."
Gu Changsheng said his decision with a clear voice.
Actually, he had always wanted to do this, but he hesitated and could not make up his mind. In fact, he even felt a little guilty in his heart. Perhaps it was because of his hesitation that led to today's situation.
After saying this, he finally felt a lot more relaxed.
The Gu Clan members present were stunned and looked at each other in dismay. They were a bit unable to react.
Even Gu Feng and Gu Lanyue were shocked. They never thought that Gu Changsheng would suddenly come out, and this was even on the battlefield.
On the other hand, Chen Xiao was well aware of what was going on.
Very quickly, a voice appeared from the crowd, "Greetings, Young Patriarch, greetings, Vice Patriarch."
"Greetings, Young Patriarch, greetings, vice patriarch."
"Greetings, young patriarch, greetings, vice patriarch!"
With the first one, there would be a second. Before long, the Gu Clan members all knelt down on one knee, eagerly looking at Gu Feng and Gu Lanyue.
It could be said that from now on, Gu Feng and Gu Lanyue would be second only to Gu Changsheng in the Gu Clan. The person with the highest status was Gu Chengquan, and he was nothing at all.
"I, I..." Gu Feng's face was filled with anxiety, and he was a bit stunned.
On the other hand, Gu Lanyue was very sensible. She took a deep breath and said, "We are all brothers of the same clan. Everyone, please rise."
"Thank you, vice patriarch."
"Thank you, Vice Patriarch."
Only then did the Gu Clan members stand up and complete the ceremony.
Only now did Gu Feng regain his wits, and he looked at Gu Changsheng and asked, “Clan Master, why are you doing this?”
Gu Changsheng deeply sighed. As the old saying went, the distance between a person and a horse could be seen through their actions. Only at this moment did he realize that only those who were truly loyal to the clan could see through a person. However, the price he had to pay for this was truly too great.
He forcefully raised his spirits and ordered, “Gu Feng, Gu Lan Yue.”
“Yes, Clan Master.”
The two of them shouted in unison with their spirits raised.
“From now on, the two of you will be in charge of all matters within the clan and within Sky River City. The first order I give you is to pursue and kill Gu Cheng Quan, retrieve the treasures of the clan’s treasury, and kill anyone who disobeys this order without mercy.”
Gu Changsheng said coldly, his eyes filled with killing intent.
He never would have imagined that Gu Cheng Quan would actually betray the clan at this time and choose to flee, abandoning the city and fleeing with the treasures.
Every time he thought of this, his heart would ache and he would be filled with endless regret, which was why he hated Gu Cheng Quan to this extent.
“Gu Cheng Quan? Second Clan Master, he actually fled with treasures in his possession. Clan Master, what happened?”
Gu Feng had a strange expression, and he was slightly in disbelief as he questioned this.
It wasn’t just him, as soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding cultivators of the Gu Clan were in an uproar, and they found it hard to believe.
“Gu Cheng Quan actually fled? He even fled with treasures in his possession and betrayed the clan. Dammit, no wonder I didn’t see him during the fierce battle with the cultivators of the Black Sky Divine Sect. He actually fled.”
"The Second Patriarch betrayed the family and even took away the family's treasure. He really deserves to die."
"Damn that Gu Chengquan. I never thought that he would be so ignorant. He actually became a traitor. He really deserves to die."
"We were fighting desperately here and repelled the Black Sky Divine Cult. In the end, Gu Chengquan fled for his life and took the opportunity to take away the family's treasure. Such a traitor deserves to be killed."
The people of the Gu Clan discussed animatedly. The more they spoke, the angrier they became. The scene was filled with the voices of condemnation towards Gu Chengquan.
At this moment, everyone knew that Gu Chengquan was finished. He had to die and pay the price.
A traitor deserved to be cut into pieces. No one would tolerate a traitor.
Gu Feng smiled sinisterly and said, "Patriarch, don't worry. I am fast. It shouldn't be a problem for me to catch up to him."
"Yes, that's good. Go." Gu Changsheng nodded.
"Yes, we will split up and search for him. If we have any news, we will immediately report it." Gu Feng ordered.
"Yes, Young Patriarch."
"Yes, Young Patriarch."
Immediately, the group of Gu Clan Tribulation Transcenders spread out in all directions to search for Gu Chengquan's traces. They had to find this traitor and cut him into pieces in order to vent the hatred in their hearts.
During the entire process, Chen Xiao did not say a word. After all, this was a matter of the Gu Clan. He did not want to interfere, nor did he have the interest to.
"Gu Changsheng, aren't you afraid that the Black Sky Divine Cult will come back?"
Chen Xiao asked.
Gu Changsheng weakly opened his eyes and said, "As long as you are still here, they won't come back so easily. Although that black-clothed Protector has a Xuan Tian Spirit Treasure, he is very afraid of you. I can see that."
Chen Xiao sneered and said, "He is not afraid of me, but of Violet Cloud City."
Gu Changsheng's expression turned bitter, and he said thoughtfully, "That's right. He is afraid of Violet Cloud City. Now that Violet Cloud City is in a good momentum, my River Sky City is finished. Sigh."
"Heh, wasn't all of this caused by you? Can you blame others? In the end, you were stabbed by Gu Chengquan and were able to escape with the treasure. This is really making people laugh. Gu Changsheng, you are too comical."
Chen Xiao did not conceal anything and loudly ridiculed him.
However, Gu Changsheng could not refute him, because everything Chen Xiao said was true. He was extremely depressed in his heart, but he could only admit it.
"Sigh, my old eyes are blurry. I was wrong, I had wrongly believed in a villain, and that was the cause of today's disaster."
Gu Changsheng sighed heavily.
At this time, Chen Xiao was a bit curious and asked, "Under the current situation, what do you plan to do? Continue to defend River Sky City. Don't forget, I only promised Gu Feng and the other two. There is still a price to pay for this attack. Next time, I won't attack again. You should take care of yourself."
He was not a good person who would take risks for the sake of helping others. This was not worth it.
