Who dares touch me?

Gu Luolins question echoed throughout the mountain range, but as strutting and arrogant as her words were, the Demon Emperor and his group really were suddenly solemn.

The Gu Family!

To ordinary cultivators, the Divine Mountains Holy Lands were far more famous.

Or rather, they werent even aware of the Gu Familys existence.

If you told a random person on the streets, someone who wasnt yet a ruler, that you were from the Gu Family, they might ignore you completely.

But rulers? They looked up to the Gu Family. At the same time, they felt so much pressure from them that it was downright suffocating.

Who at or above the ruler level dared say they didnt know of the Gu Family? Although the Gu Family didnt rule over their own Divine Mountain, who could overlook their existence?

Because the Gu Family had three half-step transcendents!

Above ordinary rulers were imperial kings, imperial lords, and imperial sovereigns.

These were all distinct subdivisions of the ruler level, but at the end of the day, they were all still just rulers.

Half-step transcendents were different. They were on a completely different level.

Although theyd only taken half a step into that realm, most restrictions of the Laws no longer applied to them.

With three half-step transcendents, the Gu Family itself was like a transcendent existence, standing above the rest of the Upper Three Realms.

They didnt live on any of the Divine Mountains. Instead, they lived in a separate space their three transcendents had carved out for them. In there, their clansmen neednt face the restrictions of the laws. Both their rate of comprehending the dao and the rate at which their cultivations increased were difficult for those outside to keep up with.

Thus, every member of the Gu Family, whether they were children of the main line or mere serving girls.

Every last one of them was a peerless expert in the outside world!

After becoming a ruler, you had to visit the Gu Family and pay your respects. This wasnt a rule set by the Gu Family, but to rulers, it was the first mission they had to complete upon breaking through.

Why? Because they didnt want to provoke the Gu Family, not even their servants.

The King of the South, Jiao Hai, and that demon already didn't know what to do. Gu Shan, Gu Xuande, and Qing Li were none other than the Gu Familys three half-step transcendents. This girl wasnt just the youngest member of the Gu Family; she was their descendent

The instant she spoke her status out loud, they lost all desire to become her enemy.

Should I be afraid of you, or should you be afraid of me? Gu Luolin narrowed her eyes at Kui Lin and Jiao Hai, then laughed. Demon Emperor Kui Lin, King of the South, Jiao Hai, Head of the Demonic Serpent Clan, Qiu Guang, which of you dares so much as harm a hair on my head? Should you be so bold, you ought to know the consequences.

What was going on?

Ye Zichen would never have guessed that a few words from Gu Luolin really would scare the Demon Emperor and his cronies like this. He didnt really understand the Gu Family, but even so, he could discern some hints from their expressions.

Even Tai Tan, who was supposed to be facing Ye Zichen, looked at Gu Luolin, his eyes flickering with fear.

It seemed Gu Luolin really was a trust-fund baby!

After listing just a few names, not even the Demon Emperor dared touch her. And here Ye Zichen thought his backing was impressive. His mom was the Lord of Seven Stars and his aunt was the head of the Profound Pavilion. But it seemed he couldnt even begin to compete with Gu Luolin.

But hed forgotten that, should he acknowledge the Gu Family as his own, hed be one of them too!

Demon Emperor. Jiao Hai licked his lips. It seemed he no longer wanted to fight this little princess.

Hed really been intimidated!

It wasnt that he was a coward. Who wouldnt have been afraid? If he really hurt her, hed have to face the Gu Familys fury. They might very well level his entire nation!

Besides, the Southern Kingdoms relationship with the Yao Emperor wasnt harmonious, and they even had thoughts of seceding.

Should the Gu Family arrive, the Yao Emperor was unlikely to attempt to stop them.

More importantly, this little princess was Gu Xuande and Qing Lis daughter! The daughter of two half-step transcendents! Did he dare hurt her?

He really didnt!

Qiu Guang of the Demon Serpents expression was just like Jiao Hais. No clan could withstand the retaliation of the Gu Family.

Come on! If youre so tough, hit me! Hit me if you dare! Gu Luolin landed directly in front of them, glaring and pushing her head towards them. Come on then! Hit me and see how it feels! Let me tell you now: my dad gave me a jade slip. If you hit me, Ill shatter it, and hell come right over. Dont think that he cant just because this is the Transcendent Mausoleum. My dad made thorough preparations before letting me come here. But if you dont believe me, youre more than welcome to try me!

She was fully immersed in her role as a spoiled rich kid throwing a tantrum. Jiao Hai and Qiu Guang meekly shrunk back and dared not retort. Even Kui Lin clenched his fists but dared not attack.

Stifled!

They felt really frickin stifled!

He was the glorious Demon Emperor; he ought to have been able to sweep the mausoleum. And yet, hed run into this little princess.

Ye Zichen was one thing. If Kui Lin really had to fight the Ocean Emperor and his cohort, they wouldnt be at a disadvantage. But here hed run into this spoiled brat from the Gu Family of all people. Why had this happened.?

Could it be that trust-fund babies could sense and attract each other? Why had he run into the both of them at once?

Your Excellency, I think wed best retreat, transmitted Jiao Hai. Theres an eighty percent chance this little brat really is the child of those three half-step transcendents. Although weve never seen her before, better safe than sorry. If it turns out shes telling the truth, were not qualified to play with the Gu Family!

Thats right, Demon Emperor. Lets not make trouble for them. Besides, Ye Zichens here too. If the Ocean Emperor and his cohorts show up, thisll be even more troublesome. Were here in search of transcendent fortune. We can endure this minor indignity for the sake of our goals. Please, consider the big picture! said Qiu Guang.

Although they made it sound like this was just out of concern for the big picture, Kui Lin could tell they were just afraid.

They really couldnt bear the weight of the Gu Familys fury, and they dared not get into trouble with the Gu Family. But he actually couldnt blame them; even Kui Lin himself felt a hint of fear when she brought up the Gu Family.

Hed visited the Gu Family!

Even if he was the Demon Emperor, he couldnt compare to the Gu Family. He naturally had to pay them a visit!

And hed witnessed the Gu Familys true power himself!

Imperial Kings. That was the level of their servants. Those with even a hint of the Gu Familys bloodline were all at least imperial lords.

It was fair to say that the Gu Family was an organization of imperial experts led by three half-step transcendents.

Fortunately, the Gu Family had an agreement with the Laws: they wouldnt appear in the world lightly. Otherwise, the entire Upper Three Realms would have long since been under their domain!

Kui Lin didnt dare provoke such a faction.

Dont act like youre mute! Where did that earlier viciousness go? What happened to that strength you used to hurt Big White? Come on! If youre so tough, hit me! You hurt Big White, so why not me? What? Why are you so wimpy? Come on! Fight me! Gu Luolin cursed them out and glared. Even more infuriatingly, she grabbed Jiao Hais hand and swung it towards her own face.

But Jiao Hai really didnt dare. He cautiously bent at the waist and retreated.

Afraid? Youre no good either! I gave you the chance to hit me, but youve disappointed me! Gu Luolin narrowed her eyes, then slapped Jiao Hai. Dont say I didnt give you the chance! I told you to fight me, but you chose not to. In that case bow and apologize to Big White!
