"Grandpa Gu Xiong, since the Hun Clan dared to come to the Eastern Region, they must have come prepared!"
Gu Fei analyzed calmly, "I suspect there is a Four-Star Dou Saint among them, and according to the clan agreement, we can't directly send someone above Four-Star Dou Saint to suppress them, or it will invite criticism..."
"Gu Fei, do you have any good ideas?" Gu Xiong looked at Gu Fei, asking for his thoughts.
With Gu Fei's current cultivation level, he was already capable of participating in the decision-making of major clan affairs.
"If the Clan Leader took action, he could easily resolve this. However, if our Clan Leader has to deal with a few clowns from the Hun Clan, it might make us a laughingstock!"
Gu Nanhai spoke up from the side, which caused Gu Fei some frustration.
It wasn't this particular issue that bothered him. Rather, it was the longstanding arrogance of the Gu Clan members that was problematic. If this arrogance wasn't corrected, the Gu Clan would eventually suffer a significant setback.
"Indeed, matters like this shouldn't trouble the Clan Leader. Elder Nanhai, we can handle it ourselves!" Gu Xiong also agreed.
Gu Fei understood that this kind of mentality couldn't be changed with just a few words. The Hun Clan's actions were based on their deep understanding of the Gu Clan's character.
"If the two of you believe we shouldn't trouble the Clan Leader and Grandpa, then let's handle this matter ourselves!" Gu Fei said seriously, "The sooner we act, the better. Let's set off now!"
Gu Fei believed that with his Perfect Heaven realm soul, he could quickly find and deal with the Hun Clan members as long as they had left any trace.
"My husband, please be careful!"
Learning that Gu Fei was leaving the Gu Realm to fight, Xiao Yi Xian and Cai Lin were very concerned. After all, the Hun Clan was no weaker than the Gu Clan.
"Don't worry, in the Eastern Region, the Hun Clan won't have their way!"
Gu Fei gave a few instructions before departing the Gu Realm with Gu Xiong and Gu Nanhai.
...
In the southern part of the Eastern Region, there was a mountain range stretching for thousands of miles with an ancient sect located within it. Recently, however, news spread that this sect had been annihilated, causing panic in the surrounding area.
"Haha, this outing has been so satisfying. We've destroyed at least ten sects!"
"That's far from enough. Few Gu Clan members have died, and our target isn't these irrelevant sects!"
In a valley on the edge of the mountain range, several figures in black robes gathered, laughing heartily. Despite having just wiped out a major sect, they hadn't left, showing incredible boldness.
"How dare you cause trouble in the Eastern Region!"
At that moment, a hoarse voice rang out above the valley.
"Gu Nanhai? Gu Xiong?"
"How did they discover us so quickly?"
Seeing the two elders appear in the sky, the black-robed figures in the valley looked serious. They had come to ambush the Gu Clan members who came to investigate. But they hadn't expected the Gu Clan to send two Four-Star Dou Saints so soon.
"Hehe, I thought the Gu Clan would send some young people to train."
"I didn't expect them to be so cowardly!"
One of the black-robed figures quickly regained composure and taunted them.
"Enough talk. Since you're here, you won't be leaving!" Gu Nanhai and Gu Xiong wasted no words, launching a fierce attack.
"Hun Can, Hun Que, you two leave first! I'll follow shortly!"
"Hun Du, don't hold on too long; this is the Gu Clan's territory after all!"
The strongest Hun Clan member engaged Gu Xiong and Gu Nanhai to stall them, while the other two Dou Saints attempted to escape.
"Moo..."
However, before they could get far, a soul-sound wave of indescribable speed struck them, causing them to lose consciousness instantly and plummet from the sky.
"There's someone else?"
"Does the Gu Clan intend to break the centuries-old agreement made by the Eight Ancient Clans?"
Seeing the situation, Hun Du panicked. The hidden assailant, who could instantly knock down a One-Star and Two-Star Dou Saint, was undoubtedly powerful. But when Gu Fei appeared, he realized that the person was merely a Three-Star Dou Saint youngster.
"You think a Three-Star Dou Saint counts as violating the agreement?"
Gu Fei swiftly struck, shattering the bodies of the fallen Hun Clan members. The three then began to surround Hun Du.
"Hmph, Gu Fei, you're too arrogant!"
"You'll pay the price for killing my Hun Clan members!"
With those words, Hun Du ripped open a rift, intending to escape into the void.
"The Eastern Region isn't a place you can come and go as you please!"
Gu Nanhai and Gu Xiong simultaneously launched powerful palm strikes. Gu Fei also attacked with the high-level Heaven Tier soul-sound wave. Given his Perfect Heaven Realm soul, Hun Du's soul was immediately shaken, and as Hun Du's soul was injured, Gu Nanhai and Gu Xiong's attacks landed.
"Poof!"
Despite being a Four-Star Dou Saint, Hun Du was heavily wounded after being hit by both attacks. Coupled with the pain from the soul attack, his strength drastically decreased.
"Gu Fei, I didn't expect your soul attacks to be so refined!"
Gu Nanhai and Gu Xiong were both surprised and continued their fierce attacks on Hun Du.
"Bang! Bang!"
After a dozen rounds, Hun Du's body was almost shattered.
"If you want me dead, you'll have to pay the price..."
"Retreat, he's going to self-destruct!"
Gu Fei's sharp soul sensed the unusual Dou Qi within Hun Du's body.
Gu Xiong and Gu Nanhai quickly retreated.
"Losing a Four-Star Dou Saint, even the Hun Clan would feel that loss!"
After the explosion, Gu Xiong's anger finally subsided.
"Grandpa Gu Xiong, if we want the Hun Clan to feel the pain, losing just one Four-Star Dou Saint isn't nearly enough!" Gu Fei shook his head.
"Gu Fei, what do you have in mind?" Gu Xiong asked curiously.
"The Hun Clan established the Hall of Souls in the Central Plains..."
"Hall of Souls? That minor branch can't affect much."
"If not for Hun Miesheng, the Hall of Souls would be nothing!"
Gu Xiong and Gu Nanhai didn't take it seriously, showcasing the typical Gu Clan arrogance.
They didn't understand the value of accumulating small advantages. Meanwhile, the Hun Clan had reaped significant benefits through Hun Miesheng's efforts over the years.
"Grandpa Gu Xiong, Elder Nanhai, do you think the Hall of Souls is useless? If it was, why would Hun Miesheng spend centuries running it?"
"With his talent, breaking through to Five-Star Dou Saint would be easy!"
"But he has willingly sacrificed a lot of cultivation time to manage these affairs!"
