I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

Chapter 1882 - 1875: The Clan Leader Is Dead?

"Gu Xiao, are you declaring endless enmity with our Divine Profound Hall?" Elder Xi said gloomily.

"Endless enmity?" Zhang Menglong sneered. "Surely not, surely not. Do you really think I have any chance of holding hands and becoming friends with you at Divine Profound Hall? Are you out of your mind, or do you take me for a fool?"

Zhang Menglong spoke coldly, "The moment you sent people to the Yanlan Empire, we were already at endless enmity. Plus, you killed members of my Shamate Clan, which makes this even more a deep-seated hatred!"

"Gu Xiao, none of your people died, and those who did were revived. Haven’t you suffered minimal losses?" An Elder from Divine Profound Hall interjected.

"Then how about I kill you, and you go find someone who can help with that?" Zhang Menglong rolled his eyes. "Moreover, their families and fellow countrymen have no way to revive. How should those accounts be settled?"

"Those are just some insignificant people, mere commoners. Dead is dead. Our Divine Profound Hall is willing to offer compensation, to absolutely satisfy you. Why make a big deal out of it?"

"I’m buying a watch last year, filthy scumbag dad!"

Once this was said, not just Zhang Menglong flew into a rage, but so did the disciples of Sunset Sect who lost loved ones and friends. Divine Profound Hall’s people still showed no remorse, treating human lives like grass, saying such things without changing their expression or losing their breath.

"Dear elders, I have kept my promise to you," Zhang Menglong said to the reinforcements from other superpowers, "The happenings to me and my brothers, all of you are roughly aware. Now I seek justice from Divine Profound Hall, it’s time for you to fulfill your promise!"

"Mr. Gu Xiao," Elder Gu from Shennong Valley first spoke up, "Our Valley Master instructed, Shennong Valley owes Mr. Gu Xiao a great favor. Today we’re here, ready to serve Mr. Gu Xiao’s commands. As long as it’s not directly attacking Divine Profound Hall, I’m authorized to decide!"

"Young brother Gu Xiao, we from Cut Dao Sect are the same," an elder from Cut Dao Sect also shared the sentiment, "Our Sect Master mentioned, previous misunderstandings with you caused Mr. Gu Xiao grievance, we’re willing to demonstrate all sincerity, whatever you’ve planned today, we’ll comply!"

"Us too!"

"Moon Palace is the same!"

...

All superpowers declared their willingness to heed Zhang Menglong’s guidance.

Initially, they had no confidence, as no one could match Divine Profound Hall in solo combat, and there was the potential for future retaliation, which could be troublesome.

But now things are different. Zhang Menglong has united all superpowers, placing Divine Profound Hall at an absolute disadvantage. As powerful as they are, there’s no way they can contend with a dozen superpowers.

Even if their Hall Master and Vice Hall Masters appear today, they must weigh well how to conclude this situation.

Another point, perhaps the most crucial, is that other superpowers have long been annoyed by Divine Profound Hall. They’ve been doing things behind the scenes for a long time, and everyone’s grievances have accumulated. They lacked a reason and opportunity to unite, until Gu Xiao provided them with this chance.

Now it’s about beating a drowning dog. Miss this village, and you miss the shop. Nobody is willing to miss this rare chance.

"You all..." Seeing everyone speak up, the elders of Divine Profound Hall began to panic.

"Thank you, dear elders," Zhang Menglong quickly shifted gears, fervently flattering them, "Your profound sense of justice and hatred for evil. Gu Xiao and friends will remember your kindness today. Once matters settle, I’ll offer each of you a trillion Divine Crystals as compensation. Though a mere gesture, please accept my heartfelt intent."

"Hahaha, young brother Gu Xiao, you’re too polite. We’re just following orders, how could we decline?"

Although those elders are exceedingly wealthy, a trillion Divine Crystals is not something any Ninth Grade Empire can produce. Even for them, it’s a considerable fortune, leaving them delighted.

"Elder Xi, just be guests in Xuanyun City for now," Zhang Menglong said, "Send word back. We wait for three days. If those responsible are not delivered, each day I’ll kill a hundred elders until every one of you is dead. I stand by my words, don’t doubt them."

Zhang Menglong’s gaze fell upon Elder Xi, "Did Elder Xi partake in the matter?"

Elder Xi was made anxious under Zhang Menglong’s gaze.

Though he didn’t directly participate in the actions, he was involved in planning the details.

If only a few individuals participated, Divine Profound Hall might hand them over to placate matters.

But the assault involved over 100,000 core disciples and direct disciples from Divine Profound Hall, with more than 1,200 elders directly partaking, representing a vast resource for Divine Profound Hall. It’s hardly feasible to expect the Hall to willingly hand over such a group to Zhang Menglong for handling.

"Gu Xiao, is there room for negotiation?" Elder Xi spoke again, "Handing over people is unlikely, but if you seek money, land, or resources, our Divine Profound Hall can provide!"

"I don’t want to repeat myself for the third time!" Zhang Menglong said, "I’m making demands, not negotiating. Don’t try bargaining with me!"

"You... are you really not afraid of Divine Profound Hall’s retaliation?"

"I dared come here today; I don’t fear Divine Profound Hall!" Zhang Menglong chuckled lightly, "This is your last chance, use it wisely!"

"Gu Xiao, you’re the boldest young man I’ve ever met. Unfortunately, you’re not part of Divine Profound Hall!"

Just then, a loud voice boomed from the sky, "But you’re too inexperienced to detain Divine Profound Hall’s people. Just a group of superpower elders, if their Sect Masters or Valley Masters were present, that might be different. I’m taking my people; if you have the ability, come to Divine Profound Hall for them!"

"Hall Master!" The Divine Profound Hall elders seemed to find their savior.

"That’s the Hall Master of Divine Profound Hall!" Elder Gu looked grave, "He actually acted personally!"

The sky tore open, revealing a giant hand, which threw down something resembling a cloak. The cloak expanded massively, enveloping all Divine Profound Hall members, then whisked them away.

Then that hand aimed directly at Zhang Menglong. The strike was so swift that Zhang Menglong didn’t expect such a lack of martial ethics; he could only hurriedly channel all his power to defend.

But that was a Peak Dao Realm practitioner! Zhang Menglong’s resistance was futile, resulting in the destruction of his position along with a large area of surrounding structures under the massive hand.

"This is your lesson, I hope you survive the ordeal!"

The Divine Profound Hall Master left these final words, disappearing into the horizon.

"This..."

"Clan Leader... dead?"
