This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Disagree? Who the heck would dare to say they disagree at this time?!
Looking at the way Gu Xiqiao carried herself, it was obvious that she was using her strength to dominate over everyone so that no one would dare to go against her!
However, even though they were well aware of this matter, it was still reality that it was a fact that was happening. When they looked at Gu Xiqiao, no one dared to voice any protest.
All of them together would still be no match for Gu Xiqiao, who would dare to resist this kind of person?
“Looks like all the leaders present are in agreement with me. That’s good.” Gu Xiqiao was still leaning forward on the table, her eyes narrowed at them. “What the entire power world needs is unity. You don’t have to do much, just listen to the Great Elder. As for the specifics on what you need to do, just ask the Great Elder yourself when the time comes.”
After Gu Xiqiao finished speaking, one of the more old-fashioned men sitting in the middle stood up, adjusting his glasses as he did. “Miss Gu, I would like to know why you would announce this matter to the public at large. Perhaps your countrymen didn’t give any resistance to you, but the managers of the secular world are not as favorable towards us in our smaller countries.”
Although they had been oppressed by Gu Xiqiao’s strength, it didn’t mean that they wholly agreed with her ideas. Though they were frustrated with her, and were cornered, they still needed to stand their ground.
Hearing his words, the leader of America and Nozawa gave him a strange look.
Come to think of it, maybe this person wasn’t aware of the catastrophe that had happened in America and Japan?
If these people knew that America and Japan had almost fallen into ruins, would they still be able to sit here with such a calm attitude?
“I should have told you all too, I suppose.” Gu Xiqiao pressed a finger against her lips, her tone light. “About those mutated beasts outside.”
The great elder distributed the documents in his hands to everyone present.
Once those leaders accepted the document, they felt weird at first. Why were there documents suddenly? But when they looked down and started reading, their expressions changed from confusion, to shock, to panic, and calm at last.
The atmosphere in the Elders’ Pavilion was unprecedentedly heavy. It was regarding the life and death of the existence of all the power worlds, how could this not be a serious matter?
The change was only for a few minutes.
“The main purpose of you coming to the ancient martial arts world was just to solve this matter.” Gu Xiqiao clapped her hands after they had finished reading, standing up once again. “Alright, it seems that you’ve finished reading. Now, let’s hear your opinions.”
At this time, no one said anything.
Finally, Leader Jerry took the lead and opened his mouth. When Gu Xiqiao first came in, his reaction had been huge. But now, his voice was so very low when he spoke, “Miss Gu, I know that we definitely need your help, and our country will help you unconditionally. But, I hope that your ancient martial arts world will help us protect the ordinary people in our country.”
Whether or not the incidents were true, these people already knew in the bottom of their hearts.
From the time they knew about the mutated beasts, they already knew that there was something else behind that wasn’t good. Now that they read through the document that Gu Xiqiao had compiled carefully, all of them were leaning back into their chair weakly.
They knew just how serious the matter was after they had read through the document. If these mutated beasts were expanded on a large scale, it would deal a heavy blow to any of the countries, and at that time, all the countries would be weakened, and the people would be impoverished.
“Need your help? No.” Gu Xiqiao was playing with her phone. “Even if it’s America’s or Japan’s help, we don’t need it. Do I need you? Right now, I’m just asking for you to properly protect your own people.”
You don’t even need the help of America and Japan?
Don’t need? America, England, and Japan were the top three countries, second only to the ancient martial arts world, how could they not need their help? Strength and manpower were what they were most lacking at the moment after all!
But, Gu Xiqiao was saying she didn’t need it? Was their ancient martial arts world so powerful now?
They didn’t need them, could it be possible that the ancient martial arts world wanted to resist this disaster with just their own strength?
That was really a fantasy thought, and for a while, these were what everyone had in their minds. But then they looked at Gu Xiqiao. Though she was strong, she was still young, and they couldn’t help but be unable to remain calm.
As for Gu Xiqiao, she wasn’t bothered in the slightest by their gazes on her, but she was getting impatient.
She and Jiang Shuxuan were going to be leaving at seven, and it was almost six now. Once this matter was settled, it was time to leave. It would also be time… for the final battle.
As though he saw Gu Xiqiao’s impatience, the great elder reached out to knock his fist against the table. “What else do you need to ask Miss Gu? If there’s nothing else, then I will be taking over the next matter.”
Once he said that, no one said anything, and thought it would be better to discuss it with the great elder instead.
“Wait, Miss Gu.” Seeing that Gu Xiqiao had started to rise from her seat, one of them walked forward. “Who is the person behind this incident? Or, is their intention to destroy all the power worlds?”
Gu Xiqiao paused in her steps, but she didn’t turn around to look at them. Her voice was low as she spoke. “It’s pointless to know who is pulling the strings. With your current strength, even if you were to increase it by ten times, you wouldn’t be his opponent. As for what they intend to do… they probably want to take over the life of the entire world.”
After saying that, she left. As for those left behind in the Elders’ Pavilion, they were still seated in their seats, cold sweat breaking out.
Their original intention today was to get an explanation from the ancient martial arts world, but they never expected something like this. Take over all life in the entire world? Then how would they live? Like the living dead? Was there any difference than just dying then?
Everyone’s face was ashen, today’s event was a heavy blow to them!
It was completely unprecedented!
“Leaders, what else do you have to say about Miss Gu’s proposal?” The great elder was smiling brightly at them.
Leader Jerry glanced at the great elder, then back to the others around them. “Great Elder, our country’s power circle will follow the arrangements of the ancient martial arts world and Miss Gu.”
“We too…”
Once Leader Jerry started the ball rolling, everyone else soon followed suit.
The expression on the great elder’s face was neutral, but the corners of his mouth were twitching. Miss Gu’s way of handling difficult people was getting stronger, and she managed to persuade these stubborn bunch of people without even doing anything. These leaders had so much protest against Gu Xiqiao in the beginning, and not long since then, all of them were now so obedient!
“That’s good then. I know that everyone seems to have lost confidence in life,” The great elder’s mouth stretched into a strange smile. “Now, please follow me somewhere.”
The leaders of the power worlds look at each other, then follow behind the great elder.
Leader Jerry glanced at the great elder, who seemed to be in a great mood. He couldn’t help but feel puzzled. It was such a big and serious matter, how was the great elder so calm?
But everyone soon understood why the old man was like this.
“Where’s the Great Elder bringing those people?” The seventh elder came in to see the great elder leading the big group out, and he asked in confusion.
The second elder stroked his beard, smiling. “If those people could read Buddhist scriptures, we should start preparing it for them.”
Hearing those words, the seventh elder couldn’t help the smile that stretched across his face. “No way, the Great Elder is bringing them there?!”
The second elder laughed as he nodded, before letting out a sigh. “We need to give them a boost in confidence after all.”
“But this would probably be too great of a shock.” The seventh elder shook his head. “I hope they don’t get a heart attack from it!”
***
The great elder took the group to three places.
One was the ranking stone table of the Trial Tower in the ancient martial arts world.
When the leaders looked at the names on the ranking list, their eyes widened in disbelief!
“Gu Xiqiao has reached the 90th floor?!”
“Young Master Jiang has also reached the 90th floor?!”
Forget about these two who were extremely strong, they already had the expectation that Jiang Shuxuan was strong, but what else did they see?!
Baili Bin, 85th floor!
Tang Qingqiu, 84th floor!
Yao Jiamu, 79th floor!
Wu Hongwen, 76th floor!
Tang Qinghong, 76th floor!
Xiao Yun, 75th floor!
The list went on, but it only had the top hundred on it. When you looked at the bottom, the last one on the list was also on the 52nd floor!
It was also a person who had been in the top twenty in the Youth Ranking List, but that person’s strength was at the bottom of the ancient martial arts world?
In such a short time, how could the ancient martial arts world improve so much and so quickly?
And it was an overall improvement?!
Even if they were to join all their forces together and were ten times stronger, they wouldn’t even be able to beat just these hundred people whose names were on the ranking tablet!
Before the surprise and shock could fully sink in, the great elder brought them to the next place, which was the training field of the ancient martial arts world.
When they arrived, ten youngsters were working together to kill a monster that had reached Xiantian level!
Seeing the great elder present, the leader of the group stopped playing around with the beast, landing a killing blow, smashing it to death with just a single blow!
“Great Elder.” The young man grinned.
The great elder waved his hand dismissively, and after saying a few words of encouragement, he continued to move forward with the group of people, and finally came to Peace Manor!
“This is the place that the entire ancient martial arts world currently yearns for. The top one hundred names in the ranking list that you saw just now, ninety percent of them are people from Peace Manor!” The great elder was still indifferent and calm, as though he was just talking about the weather. “Oh yes, all the people in Peace Manor are Miss Gu’s subordinates.”
The Trial Tower ranking list!
The younger generation of the ancient martial arts world!
Peace Manor!
All the leaders of the power world were in a stupefied state, and they were coming to realize that the causal remarks that Gu Xiqiao had made were not falsehood at all. The ancient martial arts world really didn’t need them, and that was why Gu Xiqiao had easily said ‘no need’ these two words.
Because, the ancient martial arts world really had the strength!
For a while, everyone was silent.
“I remember now,” At this moment, someone suddenly spoke up. “The person that ranked first in the Youth Ranking List this year, it was someone with the surname Gu. What relation does this person have with Miss Gu?”
Wanqi Jue patted the shoulder of the person who spoke. “Think properly what the person’s name was, then think about what Miss Gu’s name is. Then check on the recently large scale company called Nine Heavens in your country, and finally, connect it to the person who’s ranked first in the Trial Tower’s ranking list. You’ll have a new perception by then.”
