Chapter 273: Chapter 254: Gu Zhan’s Stance (Ten-Thousand-Word Chapter)

Several Supreme Grandmasters slowly descended from the sky.

"Sect Leader Song, Protector Xiao!"

Wei Wuya’s simple white robe floated gently in the breeze, giving him a transcendent and ethereal aura. He said softly, "Now, with a great enemy before us, how can we let personal grudges lead to a brawl here? Wouldn’t that make the Demon Dao laugh at us?"

At this moment, the air was filled with the strong scent of blood,

and a vast number of corpses lay on the ground, most of them disciples of the Danyang Sect.

Song Lingjun’s face was as dark as a thundercloud, almost dripping with water. He took a brief look around; in just this short time, dozens of Danyang Sect disciples had died, and among the other sects that came along with them, no less than two hundred had perished.

"I ask you, respected seniors, to uphold justice!"

Song Lingjun clasped his hands and addressed Wei Wuya and the others: "Beidou Bang’s bullying is intolerable. Killing so many of my disciples without reason—how is this the behavior of the Righteous Dao?"

"So what if I kill you," Xiao Chen swung the Big Iron Hammer and shouted: "If you don’t like it, fight again, I—"

"Xiao Chen, mind your manners!"

At this moment, a calm voice came from the Beidou Bang manor, and Mo Jingzhou, wearing a robe, slowly walked out.

Seeing Mo Jingzhou emerge, Xiao Chen immediately shut his mouth and walked toward Mo Jingzhou, saying: "Brother, that damn Danyang Sect..."

Mo Jingzhou waved his hand slightly, stopping Xiao Chen from speaking further, as he slowly approached Wei Wuya and the others, clasped his hands, and said: "Since you all have come to inquire, let’s put an end to this matter here!"

"How can it end just like this?"

Immediately, an elder from the Danyang Sect roared: "Dragon King, we respect you as a Martial Arts master, but now, you’ve allowed your Beidou Bang to kill so many of our Danyang Sect members, and now you say we should let it go with just one sentence? Our Danyang Sect is not satisfied! We were invited to the Martial Arts Conference—was it just to suffer this humiliation?"

Having said that, the elder looked toward Wei Wuya and the others, clasped his hands, and said: "Respected seniors, our Danyang Sect has suffered this injustice without reason. I implore you to uphold justice; otherwise, how can martial world ethics be maintained, and how can small sects like ours not feel heartbroken?"

Mo Jingzhou said calmly: "So, what kind of explanation does the Danyang Sect want?"

The elder pointed at Gu Zhan with a solemn voice: "All of this was caused by Gu Zhan; naturally, he should provide an explanation!"

Immediately, everyone followed the direction the Danyang Sect elder pointed and looked at Gu Zhan.

Mo Jingzhou looked at Gu Zhan, beckoned him, and said softly: "Gu Zhan, what do you say?"

"Young man, release the people first!"

An elder shouted at Gu Zhan.

Only then did everyone notice that Gu Zhan’s hands were still holding two Great Cultivators from the Danyang Sect, gripping their necks like carrying dead dogs.

Gu Zhan glanced at the elder, sneered lightly, and gently exerted force in his hands, resulting in two "crack" sounds. Both men’s heads immediately drooped down.

Gu Zhan directly tossed their bodies away and said: "You want them, then take them back!"

The remaining members of the Danyang Sect were furious, many of them with bloodshot eyes, staring at Gu Zhan, wishing to tear him apart.

An elder from the Danyang Sect stumbled, burning with anger, and roared: "Gu Zhan, with so many martial arts luminaries present, how dare you, how dare you act so ferociously!"

Gu Zhan laughed softly and said: "You asked me to put them down, didn’t I do just that?"

"You..."

"Enough," Dragon King Mo Jingzhou suddenly spoke: "Gu Zhan, the Danyang Sect wants you to provide an explanation."

Gu Zhan pointed at the corpses on the ground and said: "This is the explanation!"

"Arrogant brat, do you really think our Danyang Sect is without people?" An elder roared.

"Squad Leader Gu," Song Lingjun stared at Gu Zhan and said: "Are you indicating that you want a deathmatch with our Danyang Sect during the Martial Arts alliance gathering?"

Gu Zhan slightly narrowed his eyes, glanced at the Danyang Sect elder, then stared at Song Lingjun and said: "I have one stance—if someone doesn’t provoke me, I won’t provoke them. But if someone provokes me, I will kill them. Song Lingjun, today’s matter with your Danyang Sect, you brought upon yourself. If the Danyang Sect is not satisfied, they can continue. I, Gu Zhan, will accompany you to the end!"

As soon as Gu Zhan spoke, everyone’s expressions changed. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The Supreme Grandmasters quietly frowned.

Song Lingjun’s face remained dark and he slowly said: "Respected seniors, judging from this brat’s actions and words, you can form your own judgment. Today’s bloody conflict was completely caused by this brat’s arrogance. I implore you, respected seniors, to uphold justice."

Gu Zhan looked at the Supreme Grandmasters placidly and said: "Respected seniors, you are all leaders of your sects. There’s no need for me to clarify Song Lingjun’s intentions. I, Gu Zhan, have only one stance: being unable to beat is weakness; if weakness is justice, this nonsense, I do not believe."

"Arrogant brat!" The Danyang Sect elder shouted: "We came to your Beidou Bang not to start a fight; we were entrusted to inquire about the matter. It’s you who started a fight as soon as you came out. What reason do you have?"

"Did I speak of reason with you?"

Gu Zhan’s gaze was icy as he stepped toward the elder, speaking in a low voice: "Do you deserve to speak of reason with me? Does your Danyang Sect deserve it? Does your Danyang Sect have the right to bring hundreds of people to block the entrance of our Beidou Bang?"

The elder shouted angrily: "Brat, you..."

"Brat your father?"

Gu Zhan suddenly slapped out, sending the elder flying to the ground, his cheek swelling instantly and several teeth falling out.

Gu Zhan shook his hand coldly and said: "This is authority!"

The elder was helped up by others, holding his swollen face, pointing at Gu Zhan, not daring to speak again.
