Before anyone could react, the Great Elder, Gu Qingxuan, stood up from his seat in anger and shouted at Gu Shan.
"How dare you! How dare you barge into this family council! Gu Shan, you've grown bold!"
Gu Shan was only an outer elder, and at the Star Venerable realm at that... he almost cried when Gu Changfeng clenched his fists. Everyone knew Gu Shan was his lackey, but no one showed him respect in this sect.
Young Master Gu Changfeng said coldly, "Great Elder! Isn't it rude to not listen to him before coming to a decision!"
Every elder looked at him, and the Fifth Elder, Gu Wuyou, supported him. "Yes, Sect Leader! What the Young Master said is correct... we should know what happened before we come to a decision."
Gu Tianzheng didn't say anything, just looked at Gu Shan coldly. When Gu Changfeng urged Gu Shan to tell what happened, Gu Shan tensed up. He didn't want to reveal what happened here... he had lost his ability to think a moment ago because he had faced a holy-level sect's disciple alone.
But now that he was here, he couldn't say it out loud... or disclose his secrets with the Young Master.
He stammered, "I... I..."
This time Gu Tianzheng said coldly, "If you don't say it right now, you should prepare for your punishment, Elder Gu Shan."
He looked at Gu Changfeng and said just as coldly, "And the person involved will be punished too."
Elder Gu Wuyou immediately bowed toward the family head. "Patriarch! Please think about it before..."
Before he could continue, Gu Qingxuan sneered and said, "Yes! Our family rules are impartial. Just because someone is the Young Master doesn't mean they can do anything in this family."
Gu Wuyou looked at Changfeng in worry.
Gu Changfeng gritted his teeth and kicked Gu Shan with his leg. He fell from the high platform to the ground.
"If you can't say it out loud then accept your punishment! Why are you dragging me down with you..."
Gu Shan looked at their Young Master, dumbfounded. He had just done it to save face for Changfeng, and he was the one who humiliated him.
He gritted his teeth and looked at Gu Tianzheng. "My lord! The Young Master ordered me and the Black Force to eliminate Young Lord Gu Qingfeng."
The Great Elder stood up from his seat, while the other elders looked coldly toward the Fifth Elder and the Young Master.
Patriarch Tianzheng looked coldly at Gu Shan, gripping the armrest tightly. He never wanted to cast out his son at all... but it was his wife and this Fifth Elder who had made the plan, and according to the rules, he needed to cast out his own son. And now his other son had tried to kill his son... he was furious right now.
Gu Changfeng's face turned dark too. "What... what nonsense are you spouting here..."
Gu Shan sneered at Changfeng, then waved his hand and a written letter appeared in his hand. It was the letter he had sent to the Black Force leader, Gu Wuyou.
Gu Wuyou stood up instantly too, wanting to snatch the paper, when Gu Qingxuan moved. With his strength at Galaxy King peak... the Fifth Elder, who was still at Galaxy Lord, couldn't do anything. Qingxuan took the paper from Gu Shan and presented it to Gu Tianzheng.
Gu Tianzheng opened the letter and read it. There it was written how he had killed his other son's master, the Sixth Elder of the sect, and even dug up his grave to get his secret technique... and even planned to chase him out of the sect.
He crumpled the paper in his hand.
"So it was you, Fifth Elder! You always had a feud with the Sixth Elder... so it was not the enemy who killed him... it was you?"
"You poisoned his food and blamed Qingfeng! Although we couldn't prove his innocence or his involvement... you were the one who told me to cast him out of the family!"
Gu Wuyou looked cold at this moment. All of his plans were lost right now. He had planned it with Gu Changfeng so clearly that it was impossible to catch either of them... but it was all lost because of a stupid subordinate. He looked at Gu Shan in anger.
But Gu Tianzheng looked to his side to see Gu Changfeng, who immediately started to deny it. "Father, it was not me! It was the Fifth Elder who told me to do it... he was the mastermind..."
Slap!
Before he could continue, a crisp slap landed on his face and he was sent flying across the room, then landed in front of the elders. It was a slap from a Galaxy Emperor... his father.
Gu Tianzheng looked coldly at Gu Shan and asked, "Tell me everything that happened!"
Gu Shan continued, "We went to kill him, but Young Master Qingfeng inherited the secret techniques of the Sixth Elder. He killed each and every Black Force member who tried to kill him."
Every elder looked at Gu Shan with wide eyes. 'What a talent! He inherited that tough technique of the Sixth Elder...' everyone thought in their heads.
Gu Shan continued, "After that I took action myself to kill him, but... but a handsome young man showed up! He released only his aura and I was injured... he... he is from The Eternal Sect!"
Cold. The whole hall turned cold. Even Gu Tianzheng stood up from his seat. The elders gulped. Gu Changfeng and Gu Wuyou also looked at Gu Shan with wide eyes.
Eternal Sect! The name suddenly popped up, crowned as a holy-level sect by the Nexus Sovereign. And there was a rumor that the sect was the sect of the Divine Physician...
Gu Changfeng, whose face was red from the slap, a single bead of blood dripping from his lips, shouted at Gu Shan, "Impossible! Impossible! How did that illegitimate idiot get close to someone from the Eternal Sect!"
Gu Wuyou looked at Gu Changfeng dumbfounded, then covered his face with his hand... although they could still have had some chance to evade the blame, now they couldn't do anything due to Changfeng's lack of sense.
Sect Master Tianzheng looked coldly at Changfeng and then released his aura. The whole hall felt the pressure released by him. Changfeng was pressed down to the floor by the aura.
"You dare say those words in front of me? You and your mother planned everything with the Fifth Elder and cast my other son out of the family! You even killed the Sixth Elder... and you still dare to speak... you're really brave..."
He put more pressure on him and he vomited blood instantly. Elder Gu Wuyou immediately stepped forward, "Please, my lord, spare him! Spare his life..."
Although he wanted to slap him right now, still, he was from the current wife of the sect leader's lineage... if he wanted his lineage to get the patriarch position, he needed to support Gu Changfeng.
Gu Tianzheng sneered and an aura hit coldly at Gu Wuyou's chest. He also fell backwards, blood dripping from his mouth. "My... my lord!"
Gu Tianzheng said coldly, "This is the last warning! All of your bad deeds are already revealed. Wait for your punishment... until then don't even try to lecture me on what to do and what not to do."
Wuyou clenched his fists but couldn't do anything right now... he just looked coldly at Gu Changfeng.
Gu Shan continued, and everyone focused on him again.
"He... he said his name is Zhao Tie , a personal disciple of one of the peak master, and our young lord is his sword boy. He'll come to the Gu family to get justice for him... he... he told me to inform you..."
Grim. Everyone's face turned grim instantly. They didn't know what to say... their young lord had even gotten a sword boy job from a direct disciple of the Eternal Sect... they didn't know how to show their anger. How could their young lord do that? As a second-tier force's lineage, how could he accept to be such a low-level worker...
But they didn't say anything. All looked at Gu Tianzheng and waited for his response.
But Gu Tianzheng himself was coldly looking at Gu Shan and had decided something in his head. He announced, "From today onwards! For killing the Sixth Elder with the Fifth Elder and the lady of the sect, my current wife and Gu Changfeng's whole cultivation will be sealed and they'll be put into the prison until their last breath."
"No!" Gu Changfeng shouted while tears covered his face. A guard stepped up and then sealed his cultivation and took him out of the gate. They did the same thing to the lady of the Gu family too.
Then Gu Tianzheng said again while looking coldly at Gu Wuyou, "And Elder Gu Wuyou will be executed because he is the main person who killed the Sixth Elder."
The whole place turned cold. Gu Wuyou shook in fear and immediately got up and tried to run out of the room.
But before he even stepped fully out of the room, the azure sword moved and severed his head from his body. The other elders just sighed in their hearts... they couldn't do anything in this matter as they were already involved in this matter.
Gu Tianzheng looked coldly at Gu Shan and said, "You are stripped of your elder position... from now on, you'll be only a menial disciple of the family... because you were the one who revealed their evil deeds."
Gu Shan immediately bowed toward the sect master... at least he could take his life back from this hall. After bowing to the elders, he left the hall.
After everything was done, now the whole hall was only occupied by the elders and the sect master himself.
Gu Qingxuan asked while bowing, "Patriarch! What can we do now... if that disciple really steps foot in our family... it'll be tough for us to not apologize."
Elder Gu Lianxin said, "Can we contact the North Star Holy Land? Although we are still a subordinate, against another holy-level sect it'll be difficult to protect ourselves..."
Patriarch Tianzheng thought deeply when another elder, Gu Moyan, sneered, "So what if they are a holy-level force? Do they think they are the old Eternal Sect? They just took that name and are backed up by the Divine Physician... I don't think that they have the power to be a holy-level sect at all... isn't the Divine Physician a holy-level citizen? I think that's why they got the holy title!"
The Fourth Elder also followed behind, "Yes, Patriarch! Aren't there other holy-level forces too! Anyone who reached the level of Galaxy Venerable can make a holy-level sect! Isn't that the rule of Goddess Nexus?"
Gu Tianzheng nodded but then said again, "But this time we are in the wrong! We should have needed to get our things clear before this incident even happened... sigh! Let's contact the North Star Holy Land... only they can help us at this moment. And for Fourth Elder and Second Elder, do you think you have the power to fight against Galaxy Venerables either?"
The Second and Fourth Elder both froze at the question... yes, no matter what type of force this Eternal Sect was, they still couldn't fight against it.
