Chapter 156: Xun''er’s Feeling of Superiority!


    ?


    In the Gu n, atop a picturesque mountain.


    This mountain served as the guest amodation area for the Gu n. At the center of the mountain, in a pavilion, a group of young men in silver robes drew the attention of many onlookers.


    These young men, all dressed in silver robes, radiated confidence. The silver robes, shining brightly under the sunlight, resembled lightning streaking across the sky, subtly emanating a terrifying thunder energy, exuding an aura of authority without anger.


    These youths were all from the Lei n.


    "The thunder attribute Dou Qi is really domineering!"


    "Indeed, even Brother Qing Yang was defeated by that Lei Dong."


    "Has the Lei n really reached such a level?"


    In the main hall, many young members of the Gu n were engaged in discussion, their hearts filled with awe towards these youths from the Lei n.


    Especially towards their leader.


    In their eyes, there was even a hint of admiration- a natural emotion towards a strong person.


    This person was none other than the foremost among the Lei n''s younger generation, Lei Dong!


    "Brother Lei Dong, this Gu n is said to be the strongest among the ancient ns, but their younger generation isn''t all that impressive!"


    "Yes, among the eight ancient ns, who canpare to Brother Lei Dong?"


    "Even among all the ancient ns, Brother Lei Dong is the top prodigy!"


    "The Gu n, the Hun n- they''ll all be trampled underfoot by Brother Lei Dong one day!"


    "Alright, we''re guests in the Gu n now. Speaking the truth like this might make us seem impolite..."


    The man named Lei Dong spoke, and from his tone, it was clear that he did not consider the younger generation of the Gu n to be a threat.


    "You!"


    Some of the Gu n youths turned red with anger upon hearing Lei Dong''s words, but then, remembering that their own talents indeed paled inparison, they wondered if they truly deserved this humiliation.


    With Lei Dong backing them, the other Lei n disciples grew even more disdainful towards the Gu n youths.


    "I heard that the strongest in the Gu n is that Gu Fei, who was once Lady Xun''er''s husband. I wonder how strong he is?"


    "Do you even need to ask? Brother Lei Dong could deal with that Gu Fei with just one finger."


    "One finger is too much. Brother Lei Dong is a Half-Saint- anything below a Half-Saint is extinguished with a single thought!"


    While the Lei n disciples around him were throwing insults at Gu Fei, Lei Dong furrowed his brows slightly, his expression showing some displeasure.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    "Gu Fei..."


    He quietly murmured the name to himself, his eyes filled with a mix of mockery and disdain, but also a touch of jealousy.


    He knew that Gu Fei was Xun''er''s ex-husband, her first husband.


    Despite everything, there was still the bond of marriage between them, and in daily life, they must have...


    Thinking of this, Lei Dong''s gaze grew colder, though he quickly calmed himself.


    Fortunately, he had learned that even though Xun''er had been married, she remained pure.


    Lei Dong had once had the fortune of meeting Xun''er''s gaze. Her clear, bright eyes, along with her stunning beauty that could make the world seem dull inparison, left him deeply captivated.


    So, even though Xun''er had been married once, it didn''t matter to him at all.


    As long as he could be with Xun''er, that would be enough.


    ...


    "Xun''er, I hear that Lei Dong is head over heels for you- you are quite lucky!"


    "To reach the level of a Half-Saint at just thirty years old, and being the heir to the Lei n''s leadership, if you marry him, you''ll be the future n leader''s wife!"


    "The wife of the Lei n leader- that''s such an honor!"


    Xun''er had also heard about the arrival of the Lei n''s emissaries and was aware of their purpose, but she didn''t care.


    Just recently, she heard some women in the n expressing their envy towards her, but Xun''er didn''t think much of it.


    Indeed, reaching the Half-Saint level at thirty years old is already an extraordinary talent.


    But in Xun''er''s eyes, this talent wasn''t muchpared to Gu Fei.


    Age is an irreversible gap- no matter how powerful Lei Dong became, he couldn''t change the fact that he was already thirty.


    But Gu Fei was only twenty-two this year, making Lei Dong eight years older than him.


    For such a significant age difference to result in only this much of a gap, Xun''er believed that with Gu Fei''s talent, his achievements at Lei Dong''s age would far surpass his.


    Perhaps, it wouldn''t even take that long.


    "When I went into seclusion, he was already a Four-Star Dou Venerate. Now that I''ve reached the Dou Ancestor level, I imagine he must be even stronger!"


    Unconsciously, Xun''er clenched her fists, her heart eager topete with Gu Fei.


    Of course, Lei Dong''s proposal this time did stir a slight feeling of superiority in Xun''er: "You have excellent people vying for your attention, but I''m notcking either..."


    ...


    "The Lei n people are getting a bit too arrogant!"


    "But what can we do? We can''t have the n elders step in to teach them a lesson just because the younger generation is losing in these contests, can we?"


    "We really are not as skilled as they are."


    Gu Qing Yang had a helpless smile on his face, while Gu Yao and Gu Zhen beside him looked equally disheveled.


    When Lei n disciples asionally passed by, they didn''t even dare to make eye contact.


    It turned out that when the younger generation of the Lei n first arrived at the Gu n, they immediately challenged the Gu n youths, boasting that they had no worthy opponents


    here.


    The Gu n youths were all prodigies as well, and this was their home ground- how could they tolerate such humiliation?


    So, arge number of Gu n youths rushed out to spar with the Lei n disciples.


    Top talents like Gu Yao and Gu Qing Yang also joined in to ensure that the Gu n didn''t lose


    face.


    At first, the duels involved ordinary n disciples from both sides, with victories and defeats


    on both sides, creating an intense andpetitive atmosphere.


    This situationsted until Lei Dong stepped in, and then it was all over.


    Lei Dong, with the power of a Half-Saint, descended andpletely swept away the Gu


    n''s young elites. After all, a Half-Saint, bearing the "Saint" title, was an entirely different level-none of the Dou Venerate disciples stood a chance.


    Seeing that no one among the n''s disciples could withstand him, Gu Qing Yang, as the


    strongest present, had no choice but to step forward.


    In the end, it was no surprise-against a Half-Saint, Gu Qing Yang had no chance and was


    defeated miserably.


    "If even you lost... then who can be his opponent?"


    Gu Zhen sighed and shook his head.


    "Are we, the younger generation of the Gu n, really going to be utterly trampled by the Lei n disciples?" Gu Yao looked at Lei Dong, who was basking in cheers, his heart filled with


    unwillingness.


    Gu Qing Yang''s eyes flickered with indecision, but after a long moment, they suddenly


    cleared.


    "Perhaps there is one person who can help us regain our honor!" Gu Qing Yang said.


    "Who?" Gu Zhen asked in confusion.


    "Gu Fei!" When they heard this name, everyone suddenly understood.


    Gu Fei usually didn''t like to show off, but his strength was well-known.


    After all, he had defeated Gu Qing Yang to be the seventhmander.


    Later, he even challenged his way up to be the suprememander of the ck


    Submerged Army.


    Gu Fei was the undisputed number one among the younger generation of the Gu n.


    "I wonder if Gu Fei can defeat Lei Dong!" Gu Qing Yang''s eyes were filled with anticipation, hoping that Gu Fei could restore the Gu n''s dignity.
