455 Blackmailing, Going Back on His Word

Three days later, in the morning, in the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

Gu Xi arrived at the courtyard early in the morning and waited for the Zhan Clan to arrive.

Ever since the Zhan Clan had admitted defeat in public, with Gu Xi’s lead, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, swept through all the opponents who stood in their way like a ferocious tiger. Their ferocious stance made the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion famous, and Gu Lan’s name also rose with the tide.

Coincidentally, under their unstoppable winning streak, their opponents in today’s tournament chose to admit defeat without hesitation. This also gave Gu Xi enough time to deal with the Zhan Clan’s arrival.

Gu Xi was sitting alone on a stone bench in the courtyard, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand. He took a few sips from time to time, looking very relaxed. He did not seem to be very concerned about what was going to happen.

!!

“Young Master Gu seems to be very pleased.”

It did not take long for a slightly old voice to suddenly appear, forcefully pulling Gu Xi back from his daydream.

Gu Xi looked toward the source of the voice and saw a group of people dressed in the Zhan Clan’s uniform rushing into the courtyard. The person who spoke just now was an old man who looked quite old.

“The opponent of the tournament has admitted defeat. Naturally, I’m in a good mood.” Gu Xi chuckled, and there was an inexplicable meaning in his words.

Hearing this, the old man’s expression changed slightly, but he quickly hid it.

He was not stupid and could naturally hear the sarcasm in Gu Xi’s words.

However, the old man did not pursue the matter further. After all, his purpose for coming here today was not to quarrel with Gu Xi. He slowly walked in front of Gu Xi and said with a serious face, “I think there is no need to say more about the purpose of our visit today, right? Quickly release him!”

“Release him? How can I let you go just because you say so?”

Gu Xi drank the tea in her hand and grinned.

The moment he said that, the Zhan Clan members were stunned for a moment before they were all enraged.

“What do you mean by that?”

The old man waved his hand to stop the disciples behind him who almost could not help but attack Gu Xi. at this time, his face was also very gloomy and ugly.

As the atmosphere in the air became tenser and tenser, Gu Xi’s face did not show any signs of panic at all. He slowly got up and looked at the Zhan Clan members one by one. Then, he said in a serious tone, “What’s wrong? Don’t tell me that only your Zhan Clan can break promises, and I can’t?”

“You!”

Seeing that Gu Xi was not going to fulfill the agreement, the old man could not help but be angry.

If Zhan Hong was not still in Gu Xi’s hands, he probably would not be able to hold back and would have attacked Gu Xi. Even if they were in the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, it did not stop them.

“What do you want?”

After some consideration, the old man suppressed the anger in his heart and turned to stare at Gu Xi as if he would eat him alive at any time.

To be toyed with by a junior like this made every member of the Zhan Clan feel extremely humiliated. This was no different from slapping their Zhan Clan’s face!

Gu Xi spread out his hands and said with a smile, “My request is also very simple. One heaven-grade spirit skill and three earth-grade spirit skills in exchange. I believe that your sect has been passed down for many years, so you should have at least this bit of foundation, right? But of course, if you truly feel the heartache, you can use a spirit array or spirit stone of the same grade or equivalent to exchange for it.”

As Gu Xi’s voice fell, the courtyard fell silent for a moment.

In the next moment, everyone’s eyes widened. Some of them could not help but laugh out loud as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world.

“One heaven-grade spirit skill and three earth-grade spirit skills. You really dare to ask for them?!” A Zhan Clan disciple could not help but berate him.

A heaven-grade spirit skill was an extremely precious existence in any sect or family. It could even be said to be the sect’s treasure. However, Gu Xi now asked for one, which naturally made people feel angry and funny.

“Do you have the right to speak here?”

In response to the man’s scolding, Gu Xi glanced at him coldly and immediately turned his eyes back to the old man with a gloomy face. “How about it?”

“One heaven-grade spirit skill, three earth-grade spirit skills… Hehe… Young man, even if my Zhan Clan is capable, we will definitely not compromise with you. I advise you not to test my Zhan Clan’s bottom line again and again.”

The old man stared at Gu Xi and continued, “If you want to make the scene too ugly, at most, no one will have a good time.”

With that, a heavy pressure began to radiate from the old man’s body, slowly spreading out in all directions. Clearly, he was ready to strike at any moment.

Gu Xi’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his body instantly tensed up like a strung bow.

Although this was the interior of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, he still had to be prepared. It would be troublesome if the Zhan Clan were to do something desperate.

“Elder Zhan Tang, please wait!”

At this moment, a familiar voice was heard. Tong Shan, Tang Conglin, and a group of disciples from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion entered the courtyard. Tong Shan and Tang Conglin had anxious expressions on their faces. They only heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that the conflict between the two sides had not escalated to an irredeemable stage.

“Why didn’t you inform us that the Elder Zhan Tang is coming to our Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion today? We didn’t even send someone to welcome him. Isn’t this a tardy look on us?”

Tang Conglin came to Gu Xi’s side and cupped his fists at Zhan Tang with a smile. Although he said that, there was no apology in his tone.

Tang Conglin did not understand the current situation. However, just based on the fact that Zhan Tang had brought his disciples and barged into the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion for no reason, he did not need to show any respect to the Zan Clan. Furthermore, they looked as if they were going to attack Gu Xi.

If it was any other sect, he would have already rebuked them. It was only because the other party was from the Zhan Clan that he gave them some face. f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m

In contrast, Zhan Tang not give Tang Conglin any face. Instead, he snorted coldly and said, “It doesn’t matter if I’m you’re being negligent or not. I’ll have to trouble Pavilion Master Tang to properly educate your Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s disciples.”

Tang Conglin’s expression changed when he heard that, but he concealed it very well. In its place was a look of confusion.

When he received news that Zhan Tang and his men had come over, he and Tong Shan rushed over at top speed. However, the two of them were completely unaware of the conflict between Gu Xi and the Zhan Clan.

Tang Conglin’s gaze fell on Gu Xi. He cleared his throat and asked, “What’s going on?”

There was no reproach in his tone. After all, Gu Xi was the reason why their Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion could get to where they were today in the competition.
