Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse

Chapter 435: Chapter 241: The Frustrated Trio, Ready to Propose Marriage!

Xu Qiufeng and the other two stood atop the platform, feeling the chill wind blow past.

They involuntarily shivered.

“This…”

The three exchanged speechless glances.

They had skills to show, yet they hadn’t had a chance to display the slightest bit.

How had it ended so quickly…

If there were to be another round, with a bit of prior preparation, they were quite sure they wouldn’t have been so easily defeated.

But the opponent had already left the arena gracefully…

For a moment, all three felt an indescribable frustration!

Even in defeat, it shouldn’t be like this!

They hadn’t even had the chance to make a move, so how could they have lost!?

Their faces all looked as unsightly as if they had swallowed flies…

They had thought Gu Changge was too arrogant, challenging all three at once.

But now it seemed they were the arrogant ones, letting Gu Changge strike without being wary, and underestimating him, they lost the match directly.

“What does this mean?”

“What happened?”

The surrounding disciples, who had been eagerly observing, were also showing confusion.

“Seems… they were all taken down with a single sword strike to the throat by Saint Gu?”

There were some sharp-eyed ones who had noticed the three touching their necks simultaneously, and they could see the fine cuts on their throats.

“I…”

“Can we have another match?”

“No matter the outcome, the Fourth Saint Son Peak belongs to Junior Brother Gu.”

Xu Qiufeng said with a face full of frustration.

To lose the position of the Fourth Saint Son Peak was one thing,

but it was so suffocating and utterly void of experience!

The other two shared his sentiments.

Rank number five, Saintess Qinglian, pursed her lips, her eyes showing a trace of resentment.

That sixth Saint Son, who had kindly suggested that Gu Changge could have taken them one by one, was now twitching at the corner of his mouth, losing just like that?

“What is your opinion?”

Wu Hen Monarch’s eyelids twitched slightly as he asked Gu Changge.

“Not interested.”

“When can the Saint Peak be cleared out?”

Gu Changge directly rejected the suggestion of another match.

He was only interested in how soon he could take over his Saint Peak.

He might as well go to his thrifty mentor’s forbidden grounds to cultivate, but the Saint Peak could be left for Changming and Qian Jun to give them a better cultivation environment.

“…”

Hearing his refusal to fight again, the three’s faces turned even uglier.

It’s not frightening to lose, but this type of loss is too uncomfortable!

“Since it’s so, you are now the Fourth Peak Saint Son, and I, Xu Qiufeng, challenge you!”

“This is acceptable, right?”

Xu Qiufeng gritted his teeth, somewhat helplessly speaking.

“Is that possible?”

Gu Changge slightly looked askance, gazing towards the silent Elders beside him.

If this is how it was going to be, with this position of Saint Son, wouldn’t there be daily nuisances of challenges, with some dissatisfied and others unwilling?

“This…”

“According to the sect rules, although Saint Sons can challenge for a higher ranking at any time, even those wanting to issue a challenge must observe a one-year cooling-off period.”

“You have just ranked as the Fourth Saint Son, and you can refuse any challenges within a year.”

An Elder met his gaze and immediately explained.

This was also to allow Saint Sons time to develop.

So they weren’t harassed by challenges the moment they succeeded, before they even had a chance to enjoy the better cultivation environment of their new peak.

“Then I refuse.”

“Please, Senior Brother Xu, vacate the Saint Peak as soon as possible, I need it.”

Gu Changge shook his head after hearing this, rejecting the challenge very decisively.

He only wanted these people to know that he had the ability to slay a Ninth Grade.

But he had no intention of revealing too much of his trump cards, as that would be idiotic behavior, and utterly meaningless.

“The Fourth Saint Son Peak will be vacated within three days, you all may disperse.”

Seeing that he was unwilling to take action again, Wu Hen Monarch simply commanded directly.

“Yes…”

Despite the frustration, Xu Qiufeng could only bow in agreement.

He watched helplessly as Gu Changge flew away.

“I will relinquish the Fifth Saint Son Peak…”

Qinglian looked resentfully at his disappearing figure, then spoke to Xu Qiufeng.

Her cultivation realm was only at the Late Stage of the Ninth Grade, and now that Xu Qiufeng’s Fourth Saint Son position had been challenged and taken, he would naturally challenge her next.

There was no need to fight when overmatched.

“No need, I will go to the Sixth Saint Son Peak.”

Whether it was out of chivalry or some other reason, Xu Qiufeng smiled bitterly and waved his hand, not intending to take the Fifth Peak from Saintess Qinglian.

Instead, he directly turned to Li Lie, the Sixth Saint Son.

“You all be happy…”

Li Lie’s mouth twitched, clearly having no intention to accept the challenge either.

They were two small realms apart, and he was not a monster like Gu Changge.

As for Luo Tian, the Ninth Saint Son who was silently hiding in the crowd, he could only display a bitter face.

His position as the Ninth Saint Son was not secure.

No matter which Saint Son Peak Gu Changge challenged, as a consequence, he would lose his title, having to challenge again for the Ninth Peak in the future.

After leaving, Gu Changge parted ways with Sage Jian Chen.

He went straight to the hermitage of the Supreme Elder.

He had already heard from his cheap mentor about the location when he won the fight, telling him he could go there.

…

[Dongfang Family]

“He’s already gone to the Sword Sect?”

Dongfang Mingyue got the news of Gu Changge reaching the Sword Sect as soon as she left her retreat, from Elder Hongyi.

“What!?”

“To have repelled a hundred with a single step of Sword Intent!”

“And to have pulled out the Immortal Grade Flying Sword with tens of thousands of years of inheritance of the Sword Sect!?”

The Dongfang Family was close to the Sword Sect, indeed many members of the Dongfang Family had entered the Sword Sect.

The happenings at the Sword Sect that day were also reported back to the Dongfang Family.

Elder Hongyi’s grandson happened to be one of the Sword Sect disciples, even one of the leading five at the Mountain Gate.
