Chapter 553

"Your father, he … … he is currently cultivating in a secret place in our clan."

The one who answered Gu Chen was still Chief Elder. When he finished speaking, the entire place was silent. No one refuted or responded.

"No matter how much he cultivates, he shouldn't go so far as to refuse to see me, right?" Gu Chen smiled bitterly. Why did he feel that Chief Elder's words were not very true?

"You may not know, but four years ago, when your father had just returned to the clan, he had an extreme desire for power, so he cultivated desperately. The secret place he entered was rather special, completely isolated from the outside world. When a cultivator cultivates, what is a few years? "

"So he does not know that you have returned. When he has achieved success in his cultivation, he will naturally return. At that time, you and your father will naturally be reunited."

Chief Elder explained.

Gu Chen stared at his eyes, and then swept his gaze across the other people present.

The elders all maintained their silence, their expressions not changing.

He acutely sensed that there was something wrong here, but seeing that the others clearly did not want to reveal more details to him, he tactfully nodded his head.

"So that's how it is. This junior understands."

Seeing that he did not continue to pursue this matter, many of the elders actually looked relieved.

Gu Chen sensed this, and his heart grew slightly cold. What exactly had happened to his father?

After answering this question, the meeting ended. Gu Lian Yue brought Gu Chen to his residence.

On the way, some clansmen took the initiative to greet Gu Chen, expressing their closeness. There were also some people who stood at a distance and pointed at him, and he could faintly hear their disdainful laughter.

Gu Chen's heart was heavy. Chief Elder's answer regarding his father's whereabouts made him very worried, but when he asked others, they were not willing to discuss the matter in detail.

He could only pretend to be indifferent, and plan to slowly investigate the matter after he had a firm foothold in the Gu Clan.

"Cousin, in your opinion, if I participate in the clan's martial competition, what are my chances of winning?"

After leaving the clan's ancestral hall, on the way to his residence, Gu Chen asked Gu Lian Yue.

He had gradually become familiar with Gu Lian Yue, and she was one of the few people he could trust in the clan, so he changed his words.

Although he didn't think too much before deciding to participate in the clan meeting in the ancestral hall, he actually didn't have much confidence.

He wasn't clear about the overall standard of the Gu Clan's younger generation. If they were all experts like Gu Lian Yue, it would be extremely difficult for him to enter the top three.

However, he did not have a choice. No matter what, he had to enter the ancestral land. As long as the Tyrant Ether Bone was not repaired, he would not be complete.

When Gu Lian Yue saw that Gu Chen had changed the way he addressed her, the corners of her mouth curled into a faint smile.

"The younger generation of the Gu Clan's six branches can be roughly divided into three levels."

"Which three levels?" Gu Chen's interest was piqued.

"The first level is Gu Zhaixing and I. Our strength has reached the Dharmakaya realm. There is a list of the top ten Heavenly Sons on the Primordial Continent, and both of us are on it."

"If you meet the two of us, you won't even be able to last one round."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen's expression froze. "In that case, I can only fight for the third place among the top three in the clan meeting?"

Seeing that Gu Chen was nervous because of this, Gu Lian Yue revealed a mocking smile.

"You won't get the third place either, because below the two of us, there is a group of disciples in the Dharmakaya realm."

"In this group, there are quite a few people who have already cultivated the top magical power, Grand Tyrannical Plans. If you meet them, you will also have a grudge."

"The third level is the Celestial Realm and below. Only clansmen of this level have a chance of winning. If I put it this way, do you still want to participate in the clan meeting?"

Her tone was full of mockery, and Gu Chen could not help but shake his head. "Cousin, just tell me the truth."

He could see that Gu Lian Yue was exaggerating.

"You're smart." Gu Lian Yue snorted coldly.

Ever since she met this cousin, he had always been calm and collected, far more mature than his age. That was why she wanted to scare him, but she did not think that he would see through it with one look.

Seeing that he did not fall for it, she did not continue to tease him and told him the truth.

"What I just said about the three levels of the younger generation in the clan is actually correct. It's just that at this clan meeting, you will not meet so many masters."

"I am 70 years old this year, and I won the clan meeting martial arts competition a few years ago. I have entered the Ancestral Lands, so naturally, I will not participate in the martial arts competition again. And Gu Zhaixing is 77 years old this year. Although he still meets the requirements, he is a direct descendant of the Clan Leader, so he has already entered the Ancestral Lands unconditionally once. "

"Speaking of this, it turns out that your bloodline is the direct descendant, and you are the only candidate of your bloodline. Originally, this spot should have been yours, but speaking of this, Gu Zhaixing has taken your spot."

Gu Chen did not care when he heard this. His bloodline's status had been taken away decades ago, and there was no point in talking about it now.

According to Gu Lian Yue, the two geniuses in the clan would not participate in the martial arts competition. All of a sudden, his chances had greatly increased!

"Go on." He could not help but smile.

Gu Lian Yue rolled her eyes at him and continued with her analysis.

"Other than the two of us who will not participate, there are a few other Transcendence Realm experts who have already entered the Ancestral Lands, so the number of strong enemies you will have is slightly lesser."

"Most of the disciples in the clan heard that you are going to participate in the clan meeting, and they all thought that your broken Tyrant Bones are no threat, but I don't think so."

"You have killed Transcendence Realm cultivators on Penglai Immortal Island, and you have persisted for so long under the siege of so many enemies. Your strength is evident. According to my estimation, among all the younger generation participating in this clan meeting, your strength is probably in the upper middle. "

"So you actually have a chance of entering the top three, provided that you are lucky enough not to encounter the most troublesome people at the beginning."

"Only in the upper middle?" Gu Chen was not satisfied with this analysis. In this case, there were many variables for him to enter the top three.

"This evaluation is already very high." Gu Lian Yue rolled her eyes. Right now, the other people in the clan regarded Gu Chen as a defenseless trash.

However, thinking about this, she felt that it was interesting, and she was looking forward to what would happen during the clan meeting.

Some of the disciples in the clan had always thought highly of themselves, and in her opinion, it would be very fun to let Gu Chen, who had returned from outside, teach them a lesson.

"Cousin, can you tell me which opponents I need to pay attention to? Also, what kind of abilities do they have?"

Gu Chen tried to get close to Gu Lian Yue, wanting to get useful information from her.

"If you want to know, go to the Tyrant Martial Pavilion tomorrow. We have arrived at your residence. "

As Gu Lian Yue spoke, the two of them had already arrived at their destination.

This place was located in a remote alley on the east side of Ancient Town of Great Desolation, far away from the clan's ancestral hall and main clan residence.

Gu Chen glanced at his residence. Although the house was old, the courtyard was quiet, and he was quite satisfied.

He was just about to turn around and ask Gu Lian Yue about the Tyrant Martial Pavilion, but he saw that she had already walked far away, and her voice came from afar.
