12: The considerate elders of Chongxuan Pavilion

Elder Jiang was also a King.

His strength was absolutely extraordinary!

Although he couldn't be compared with Chu Feng, Gu Yan, a Dragon Transformation cultivator, even if he was the Heavenly Mandate Protagonist, with all his treasures stripped away, he wouldn't have any power to resist.

"Ah ah ah ah!!"

"Ah ah ah!"

"..."

A brutal beating, screams, echoed through the clouds.

"Old Jiang, stop hitting him. You're old, and your hands and feet aren't as agile as mine. My hands are itching anyway."

"Let me do it. This kid seems very tough; he's fine even after all this hitting."

"Everyone, don't get excited. Don't let outsiders laugh at us. Shall we line up?"

"Calm down, everyone. The Pavilion Revered Master said to keep him alive and imprison him in Nether Cliff. Come, come, come, this old man will feed him some Medicinal Pills to sustain his life, then you can continue hitting him."

"..."

Facing the emotional Elder Jiang, more and more Elders joined the "persuasion."

They held wolf-tooth clubs full of barbs, iron whips, long spears...

And without a word, they greeted Gu Yan's body, helping him sober up.

Even more excessive was a kind-faced old man in a white robe standing by, holding a jade bottle.

Whenever he felt Gu Yan was about to die, he would uncork the bottle, carefully pour out some Spirit Medicine, and thoughtfully heal Gu Yan's wounds.

Nangong Qin's coldness, the Elders' ruthlessness.

The intense pain from both body and mind made Gu Yan almost go crazy!

He could do nothing but wail now.

"Revered Master, she can't be this ruthless to me!"

"How could the Saint's appearance be my mortal enemy, Chu Feng?"

"All my treasures except that Gate were plundered; how could such a thing happen?"

"And those hundreds of pounds of Saint-tier items, it's simply unrealistic!"

"The biggest unreasonableness is myself! With my Dragon Transformation strength, without the small tree, being besieged by so many Kings, I shouldn't be able to survive at all!"

This is definitely an illusion! It's an illusion!

Even when reduced to such a state, he still firmly believed he was in an illusion!

From beginning to end, Chu Feng watched Gu Yan's public humiliation with a faint smile.

He found that the Heavenly Mandate Protagonist's Destiny Value dropped even faster without him having to act.

He was very happy to see such a scene.

Chongxuan Pavilion was very sensible.

Such a brutal beating of Gu Yan was clearly to vent his anger.

Most importantly, these Elders were clearly not fools and must have realized the problem with Gu Yan.

Anyone attacked like this, no matter how many trump cards they had, wouldn't have such a thick health bar.

There was definitely a big secret on Gu Yan!

They couldn't perceive the Eternal Gate on Gu Yan as he could.

But wouldn't these Elders have designs on it?

Even if Gu Yan was imprisoned in the so-called forbidden land, Nether Cliff, he would not have peace.

"Stop, stop, everyone stop."

"Don't let outsiders laugh at us. Old Jiang still has to escort this grandson back to Nether Cliff."

The kind-faced Elder finally felt bad for his Medicinal Pills and couldn't help but shout.

Immediately, the Elders stopped, looking at the pile of flesh in front of them.

At this point, Gu Yan was barely breathing, on the verge of death.

"Pah."

An Elder spat on Gu Yan, cursing, "This grandson is really tough; he made my hands hurt from hitting him."

Another Elder narrowed his eyes, staring at Gu Yan, lost in thought.

He exchanged glances with several other Elders.

Although they had fed him Medicinal Pills to keep Gu Yan alive earlier.

But by feel, they could also sense the problem.

This Gu Yan was too resistant to beatings.

Being beaten like this, let alone Dragon Transformation, even a Xiantai or Great Power cultivator couldn't withstand it.

But every time Gu Yan was on the verge of death, a gray mist would appear on his body.

Even without their Medicinal Pills, he probably wouldn't die.

There was definitely a big problem here.

"Senior, I'm going to escort Gu Yan to Nether Cliff now."

Elder Jiang immediately nodded, asking for Chu Feng's permission.

He casually threw out a piece of white cloth, wrapped the pulpy Gu Yan directly, rose on clouds, turned into a streak of light, and left the scene.

Seeing that Gu Yan, the only spoiler, had been sent away, Nangong Qin softly said to Chu Feng, "Senior, I apologize for making you witness such a spectacle."

She now understood.

It was normal that Gu Yan's Heart-Nature and judgment of the situation did not impress this Saint.

Chu Feng had the demeanor of a gentleman, waved his hand, and politely said to her, "Why are you still calling me Senior? It's too formal. Just call me husband."

Nangong Qin: (.. • ˘ _ ˘ • ..) (⊙ ˍ ⊙)

So, so sudden...

Looking at Chu Feng's obsidian-like eyes, his gaze didn't even ripple.

She hesitated, her face inexplicably flushed with a red glow, a hint of charm emerging from her coldness, and softly said, "Okay, hu-husband, if you don't mind, please rest in Chongxuan Pavilion first. Our wedding date..."

At this point, Nangong Qin gently pursed her lips.

Today's events were too Xuanhuan; she still found it somewhat unbelievable.

Chu Feng waved his hand and said, "No rush."

A female Elder quickly said, "The Saint is joking. This concerns your reputation. I will quickly invite various forces from the Xuan Realm, choose an auspicious day, and complete the concubine-taking ceremony."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Qin lowered her head, a layer of red clouds inexplicably rising, making her incredibly beautiful.

Concubine-taking ceremony?

Chu Feng's heart stirred, and he nodded slightly.

This reminded him.

He had a judgment on how to increase the completion of the remaining hidden quest.

Another passing Elder came up, eagerly saying, "Then please trouble the Saint to rest in Chongxuan Pavilion first."

Chu Feng had Transmigrated here, and Qingyun Sword Sect had nothing to do with him, so he didn't plan to go back.

Staying in Chongxuan Pavilion suited him perfectly.

Aside from the people of Chongxuan Pavilion, there were many powerful experts from the Xuan Realm present today.

The news of the Saint's emergence and his intention to take Chongxuan Pavilion's Pavilion Revered Master as a concubine quickly spread.

Especially the three hundred pounds of Saint-tier Cultivation Technique became the focus, igniting the entire Xuan Realm and sparking numerous discussions.

... ...

The next day.

Chongxuan Pavilion, an ancient courtyard.

Several managing Elders gathered together, their expressions solemn.

Elder Jiang sat in the main seat, coughed, and sternly said, "Regarding Gu Yan, how do you all think he should be handled?"

The kind-faced Elder Sun immediately nodded and said, "Although Gu Yan is a Genius of the Pavilion, he dared to harbor ill intentions towards the Pavilion Revered Master. This is an absolute taboo."

His words were met with agreement from the other Elders.

If the Saint hadn't taken a fancy to Nangong Qin, then so be it.

But now that the Saint was about to take Nangong Qin as a concubine, if Gu Yan was allowed to remain, he would definitely be a major hidden danger.

"Gu Yan has a secret; everyone should know that."

"Xu Elder, you are responsible for entering Nether Cliff, personally torturing the secret out of him, and then killing Gu Yan."

Elder Jiang made the arrangements.

A tall, thin Elder, like a bamboo pole, nodded and said, "Leave it to me."

Elder Jiang then looked at another fat Elder beside him and said, "To cut the grass and remove the roots, although Gu Yan comes from a humble background, we cannot leave any hidden dangers. Elder Zhang, please make a trip to Xiao Zhu Realm yourself and wipe out the Gu Family as well."

Elder Zhang nodded faintly and said, "Understood."

Chu Feng, in a quiet room, sensed this scene and smiled faintly, saying, "These Chongxuan Pavilion Elders are truly understanding."
