Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse-Chapter 437 - 242: Refuse to Accept Defeat, Battle Again, You Lost!
Chapter 437 -242: Refuse to Accept Defeat, Battle Again, You Lost!
“How is it that this place of mine isn’t much better than Saint Peak?”
Seeing Gu Changge coming out of seclusion, Ye Qing slowly opened his eyes and casually spoke.
“Teacher’s place is naturally stronger than Saint Peak.”
“However, I have clan members who came with me, using Saint Peak for their seclusion and cultivation is just perfect.”
Gu Changge said with a light laugh.
“Indeed, that’s a good idea.”
“When do you plan to propose to the Dongfang Family?”
Ye Qing nodded slightly and continued to ask.
He could tell that giving Saint Peak over for his clan members to cultivate showed he was a man of loyalty and sentiment.
“As soon as I take over Saint Peak, I plan to visit the Dongfang Family,” Gu Changge casually answered.
“In this Central State, you don’t have the Gu Family elders by your side.”
“If you don’t mind, I could offer my assistance as your Master and propose on your behalf.”
Ye Qing chuckled as he spoke.
Hearing this, Gu Changge was taken aback.
He immediately gave a bow and said, “If Teacher doesn’t mind the trouble, I am naturally willing.”
A Land Immortal Realm Great Power was hard to come by in Central State on any regular day.
They were mostly old monsters who secluded themselves and wouldn’t come out.
Having him help with the proposal was a significant face-giving gesture for the Dongfang Family.
“Go ahead, when you leave the Sword Sect, I’ll know.”
Ye Qing waved his hand and said no more.
“Thank you, Teacher.”
Gu Changge did not linger and left the forbidden area immediately.
However, he set out alone; two days before, he had exchanged two Elixirs to feed to Yuan Youbai.
She was by now asleep, digesting the potency of the Elixirs.
Only after his figure had disappeared did Ye Qing click his tongue in wonder: “Where on earth did these Elixirs come from…”
“It’s odd, as if they appeared out of thin air.”
Naturally, the act of Gu Changge feeding Yuan Youbai the Elixirs could not escape his Land Immortal Realm senses.
Yet, strangely, he could only sense the terrifying effects of the Elixirs and not how Gu Changge had obtained them.
It was as if they had appeared out of nowhere; even with his Land Immortal Realm insight, he couldn’t understand.
“It seems to be related to the Golden Lotus within his body…”
Because when Gu Changge exchanged the Elixirs, he deliberately used the method he had used in the Back Mountain, triggering the Twelfth Grade Golden Lotus to emit a faint golden Tao Rhythm.
He successfully misled Ye Qing’s judgment.
But Ye Qing wouldn’t ask directly, to avoid seeming too intentional.
Both knew about the Elixir, yet neither spoke of it explicitly.
…
Being new to the place, Gu Changge was somewhat lost in the Sword Sect for a while.
Fortunately, he made contact with Sage Jian Chen through the Communication Jade Token.
Led by Sage Jian Chen, he found out which one was the Fourth Saint Son Peak.
In front of Saint Peak, Xu Qiufeng seemed to have been waiting for some time.
Furthermore, quite a few Sword Sect Disciples were observing the scene.
They all stopped in their tracks and cast their glances.
“Saint Xu does not seem pleased.”
“Indeed, in the duel a few days ago, he didn’t even get a chance to strike before he was stripped of his eligibility for the Fourth Saint Son Peak.”
“How could anyone endure such a thing?”
“Moreover, that last battle was somewhat hasty. Saint Xu and the others hadn’t even had the chance to showcase their strength before they were ambushed and defeated.”
“If they were truly prepared for a fight, with their defenses up, the outcome would probably be uncertain.”
“Indeed, although Saint Gu’s strength is evident to all, to achieve what he did was already defying the heavens, but after all, he took advantage. It’s hard for people to be completely convinced.”
Many Sword Sect Disciples were thus discussing among themselves.
A few days ago, everyone thought the duel would be fierce and spectacular.
However, the outcome let everyone down.
These past few days, many outstanding Sword Sect Disciples had been discussing this matter too.
Most of them recognized Saint Gu’s strength. After all, to challenge three Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm Saints at once with his Seventh Grade Unlimited Realm power and win was telling.
But…
The way he achieved the victory truly made it hard for them to be thoroughly convinced; they felt he took too much advantage. If there were a rematch, they doubted he would have the chance to win again.
“Thank you.”
Upon seeing Xu Qiufeng, Gu Changge greeted him with a faint smile and a slight bow.
“I am not convinced…”
“Let’s have another fight, just you and me.”
Xu Qiufeng, however, took a deep breath and said with complicated eyes.
It was alright for him to give up the position of the Fourth Saint Son, but these past few days left him feeling extremely stifled, feeling that he should not have lost so cleanly.
Gu Changge had clearly taken advantage last time, ending the battle against the three of them without any preparation…
“According to the rules, you can challenge me after a year.”
“I will definitely accept the challenge then.”
Gu Changge obviously had no intention of fighting, brushing past Xu Qiufeng to step onto Saint Peak, eager to see what this Fourth Saint Son Peak had to offer.
Seeing this, those Sword Sect Disciples shook their heads.
“It seems Saint Gu is not confident after all.”
“He dares not accept a second challenge, even if it’s just against Saint Xu alone.”
“However, while this approach is clever, it inevitably lacks the heart of a true warrior.”
“Alas, what a pity, I thought I would see something exciting.”
Gu Changge’s refusal, in their eyes, was because he was afraid and lacked confidence.
Even Xu Qiufeng himself started to think so at that moment.
He had analyzed the past few days.
Even though Gu Changge possessed that incredibly heaven-defying move, if he was prepared in advance, using Spiritual Energy to protect his body, even with an Immortal Artifact weapon, it was absolutely impossible for Gu Changge to kill him in one strike!
If he could just withstand for a moment with his Spiritual Energy protection when the weapon struck at his neck, he would be able to regain his senses in an instant and turn the tables!
