Chapter 550: Chapter 130: So Your Brain Broke_2

The Second Elder spoke faintly, then turned to leave.

"Miss Qingci, actually... letting them climb the mountain wouldn’t be a problem."

Just at this moment, from beyond the mountain mist, in the direction from which the Second Elder had come, a young voice rang out.

Gu Shen slowly emerged from the mist.

"Mr. Xiao Gu!"

When Li Qingci saw Gu Shen’s figure, the trepidation and unease in her heart instantly vanished, and she let out a long sigh of relief, allowing her tense nerves to relax.

"Gu Shen?"

The complacent smile on the Second Elder’s face slowly faded away.

He stared at Gu Shen.

Why couldn’t this guy just disappear?

Why did he follow wherever one went?

"Second Elder, anger harms the body."

Gu Shen came before the old man and spoke lightly, "You don’t have many years left to live, so it’s not worth it to be frowning all the time. Better to cherish each day, smile more, it’s good for the body."

Upon hearing this, the Second Elder’s face suddenly changed.

He knew that Gu Shen was a disciple of Master Qianye!

The inheritor of the Divination Skill!

This kid said he didn’t have many years left to live... What did he mean? Was he serious?

"You insolent brat! How disrespectful!"

Before the Second Elder could react, one of the nearby Elders had already lost his temper.

This Elder was not very old, around thirty, in the prime of his life, with a robust physique, like a vajra.

The moment he entered the Divine Temple Mountain Territory, Gu Shen had sensed through Spiritual Link the presence of three Transcendents from the Li Family Elders... The strength of these three was greater than Li Xuan’s.

Among them, the Second Elder had the highest realm, likely possessing the strength of the fourth stage, while the other two were around the third stage, at the seventh or eighth level.

"Disrespectful?"

Gu Shen smiled and responded, "Is speaking the truth considered disrespectful?"

"Defying one’s superiors, speaking rudely, you deserve a slap in the face!"

The "Vajra" Elder stepped forward without any pleasantries and threw a slap.

He had long disliked Gu Shen...

Interfering repeatedly with the affairs of the Li Family, last time he had beaten up a member of the Elders Council and audaciously confiscated a talisman, and now he was sticking his nose in again!

This was the perfect opportunity to teach him a lesson!

The slap was extremely fast.

This Vajra Elder was a Strong Attack Type Transcendent who diligently practiced Body Refinement, and to teach Gu Shen a proper lesson, he even used his "Domain"!

The next moment.

With a "snap," a crisp slap echoed below Divine Temple Mountain.

A bloodied tooth was struck and flew out.

It landed on the ground.

The Vajra Elder who had initiated the attack stared at the tooth that had fallen from his own mouth.

His expression was one of bewilderment and dismay.

One side of his cheek was swollen high, with blood seeping out, his bound hair crown had been knocked off, his hair disheveled, extremely discomfited.

Yet, he never saw clearly from start to finish.

How did all this happen...

When had Gu Shen made his move?

But someone did see it clearly.

The Second Elder saw it very clearly... In the instant that he made his move, Gu Shen’s figure seemed to become a flicker, swaying and dodging, striking after the Elder but landing the first blow, and then slapping the Vajra Elder.

Faster, more accurate, more ruthless.

The flicker just now... looked somewhat like a "Complete Flash."

Even if it wasn’t the real "Complete Flash," he had grasped seventy to eighty percent of it.

If he wasn’t mistaken, a year ago, when Gu Shen battled Shen Li, he wasn’t deeply versed in body techniques... not even close to touching the threshold of "Complete Flash."

The Second Elder slowly extended a hand, stopping another angry Elder.

He spoke in an icy tone, word by word, "In front of my face... you hit an Elder of the Li Family? Gu Shen, you must give me an explanation today."

"An explanation?"

Gu Shen spoke calmly, "Didn’t the Elder just provide one? Defying one’s superiors, speaking rudely, deserves a slap in the face."

"I am a student of Master Qianye and a disciple of the Grand Judge. Putting aside these two identities, I am also akin to a big brother to Qing Sui, a revered guest of Divine Temple offering tribute, and the person personally invited by the previous Li Family Head to possess the talisman."

He looked toward the Elder who had initiated the attack, his implication already very clear.

Among those identities, which one isn’t higher than yours?

Defying one’s superiors, speaking rudely... deserves a slap in the face.

Only, the one who should be slapped is your mouth!

The Elder who had received a slap was wide-eyed and for a moment, had nothing to say.

"I’ve always heard that the Li Family, one of the five great houses, values ’etiquette’ the most among the families of ritual," Gu Shen spoke calmly, "Second Elder, you should be clear about right and wrong in this matter."

The Second Elder had nothing to say.

He glanced at the Elder who had failed to slap but ended up slapped himself, knowing the matter could not be pursued further.

If that slap had landed, then it would have been Gu Shen’s fault!

But if he couldn’t win and got hit back instead... he could only blame his own lack of ability.

"Since you claim such a distinguished status..."

He emphasized the words "distinguished status."

The Second Elder coldly said, "Then the words you said before should be counted as well, right?"

Gu Shen had said earlier that they could let people climb the mountain.

Upon hearing this, Li Qingci became worried... she cast a subtle glance at Gu Shen.

Gu Shen then moved to her side, signaling her not to be nervous.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you have the leisure to climb the mountain... then please feel free to do so now."

He made way for the mountain path and said calmly, "However, before you climb, don’t blame me for speaking plainly in advance. Once you start the ascent, you will be surrounded by Black Flowers in every direction, and each one is an ’Order Collapse Point.’ You should be aware of the power of these things; once touched, you will be directly disassembled..."
